With profound sadness, we have been informed that former Club President Paul Schmoldt passed away on Friday, November 28, 2025.

Born in Denmark and emigrating to Canada in 1971, Paul was fluent in four languages and was well known throughout the CCC for his quick wit and zany sense of humour. As Competition Manager, he took on the significant responsibility of co-ordinating judging for both our Club and CAPA photo competitions. He also created several exceptional slide shows that showcased Camera Club outings and our year-end highlights.

At the conclusion of his presidency, Paul was awarded Honourary Lifetime Membership. A skilled and dedicated photographer, he was always generous with his time, eagerly sharing his knowledge of photographic techniques and software with others.

Paul was not only a mentor, but also a cherished friend to many within our Club. He will be fondly remembered and deeply missed.
