Finnie, Richard Sterling, 1906-1987 : Richard Finnie was born in Dawson, the son of Oswald Sterling Finnie, Director of the Northwest Territories and Yukon Branch from 1921 to 1931. Richard Finnie made numerous expeditions to the Canadian north which lead to his recognition as an authority on the history and geography of the Arctic and northern Canada.

His first expeditions were with Captain Bernier in 1924 and 1925 as radio operator on the last expeditions of the C.G.S. ARCTIC. In 1928 he received his first Commission to produce the film "In the Shadow of the Pole" from the Government Motion Picture Bureau. He served on the Burwash expedition to King William Island and produced a series of films in 1930 and 1931 during a twelve month assignment in the western Arctic. In 1939 he made a film for the Bureau on mineral development in the Mackenzie District during which he produced the film "Treaty Time at Fort Rae" concerning the Dogrib tribe. He published the books Lure of the North, 1940 and Canada Moves North in 1942 as well as numerous articles on the Canadian North.

He was hired by the firm Bechtel Engineering and Construction in 1942 as a northern advisor and documentary filmmaker. He produced the film "the Alaska Highway" and also films on the CANOL pipeline. During his 25 years of service with Bechtel he produced numerous films, photographs and articles on their construction projects all over the world. Canadian projects which he documented include the construction and publicity for the Interprovincial, Transmountain, Westcoast Transmission and Trans Canada pipelines in films such as "Canadian Pipeline" and "Oil Across the Mountains" as well as the film "Iron from Labrador".
