Notes:
Tom Badenoch was born in 1893, in Scotland, and came to Canada with his family in 1906, settling at Indian Head, Saskatchewan. He studied chemistry at the University of Manitoba (Winnipeg) and later at the University of Saskatchewan (Saskatoon) graduating in 1914. He was a pharmacist in Regina, Saskatchewan for many years. Badenoch was an avid artist focusing on drawing and painting, and had begun his art studies while a boy in Scotland. The story goes that when informed that the family was moving to Canada, Tom Badenoch's art teacher wept, saying that "his talent will be wasted in that Godforsaken country." And in fact Badenoch only turned his attention more devotedly to his art after the Second World War, when his paintings were widely collected throughout Saskatchewan and beyond. In the early 1950s Badenoch assisted Augustus Kenderdine in setting up the Emma Lake Artists' Workshop at Emma Lake, Saskatchewan. Tom Badenoch died in 1970.
