William (Bill) Addison was born in Toronto but lived most of his life in the Thunder Bay region. While teaching sciences at Westgate High School for nearly 30 years, he also engaged in geological research and fought for the preservation of natural areas. The records held by Lakehead document his work with the Save Quetico Committee, the Coalition for Wilderness, and Parks for Tomorrow. His travels and work in the Nahanni River area are documented in the Northwest Territories Archives.
Bill was married to Wendy for 51 years, and they had two children.
