Ian Verne Lane (1926–2013) was born in Regina to Dr. Verne and Hilma Lane. A graduate of McGill University, Lane spent most of his working life outdoors as a land surveyor for the Saskatchewan government before retiring to Vancouver in 1986.
Lane’s passions included nature, hiking, photography, skiing, gardening, and ballroom dancing. He was a long-time member of Nature Vancouver and was renowned for his beautiful photographs of insects, especially dragonflies, moths, and butterflies, many of which have been published.
