The next stop for the young family was in Hepburn, Saskatchewan, at Bethany Bible College. The church grew during that time and undertook a building program on West Saanich Road, where it still is today. He served at Saanich Community Church until 1991, welcoming Liam in 1986. In 1983, Saanich Community Church on Falmouth Road was looking for a pastor, so Les moved back to Victoria with Carol and Ryan. He graduated from Regent with a Masters of Divinity in 1981, right around the time that their oldest son Ryan came along.
Both of them were involved in Maranatha Baptist Church, with Les serving as assistant pastor. The pursuit of the Kingdom of God was where his heart was at, so he and Carol moved to Abbotsford in the fall of 1980 from where he could attend Regent College in Vancouver. They were married in 1977.Īlthough trained in Urban Planning, Les never felt it was his calling in life. He met Carol at the plywood plant, and never let her go. Together with brothers Stan and Jim, he worked in a plywood mill for the first summer, followed by a couple of odd jobs and then a one year stint at the Peace River Planning Commission. During that time the whole family was involved at Westview Gospel Chapel, which shaped much of Les’ approach to life.Īfter graduating in 1975, Les ended up in Grande Prairie Alberta. It was here that Les would spend most of his formative years, graduating from Reynolds High School and then Uvic with a degree in Urban Geography.
The growing family lived there until more space was needed, thereafter moving briefly to Margaret Street beside McKenzie School, and then to 1231 Palmer Rd.
The third of Sid and Ruth’s six children, he was welcomed home at 4050 Carey Road to a house that Sid built with his own hands. Leslie Stephen Biggs began life on March 14, 1953, at the Royal Jubilee Hospital in Victoria, and finished life on Septemin the same building.
