Lenore Herb recently passed away of pancreatic cancer.  She will be remembered by many in our Vancouver community and will be greatly missed. R.I.P Lenore !

For over 30 years Lenore aka Doreen has worked as an alternative underground videographer, bringing music, social causes and alternative art to the community

About Lenore


Lenore Herb has been practising eco-social art for more than 30 years.
She is a pioneer of poetry, music and environmental videography,
filmmaker, curator, producer, poet and serious environmental advocate.

Working with a coalition of environmental groups,
in 1989, aided in successfully stopping the
Ashcroft / Cache Creek hazardous waste incinerator.

Co-wrote with Dermot Foley “Garbage War on the Future”
supported by Vancouver Citizens Action Network
the Yalakom Ecological Society, Western Canada Wilderness Society,
Cache Creek Area Citizens United, Catalyst Eduction Society,
Greenpeace, Cache Creek Landfill Legal Defense Fund
and which is as true today as it was then,
due to the prolific waste and resource greed of our society.

1990 – 1995  President of SPEC (Society Promoting Environmental Conservation)

    Thanks for this thoughtful post. Facebook has been awash with the tears of the old punk rock scene – so sad to lose another great person who did so much to make a difference.

    I first met Lenore at 1948 West Third winter of 1969/70, and would see her intermittently through Kits in the early 70’s. A fiesty, outspoken character who made good art – check out her videos done to bill bisset’s poetry. She did it her way and I honour her memory.
