History
Arthur Tinniswood Dalton was a mountaineer, a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and former Assessment Commissioner for the City of Vancouver. Born in Winnipeg, he came to Vancouver with his parents in 1889. Circa 1922, having studied for two years at McGill University, he worked as a Point Grey building inspector with his father, William Tinniswood Dalton, a Vancouver architect.
He was a member of the party that made the first recorded ascent of Mount Garibaldi, Augst 11, 1907. According to his grand daughter, he had a flag that he took with him on his climbs and flew it from the summit of each of his first ascents. Articles he wrote are in the Alpine Club of Canada journals including a report on the first ascent of Mount Garibaldi. Dalton Dome is a peak near Mt. Garibaldi named after Arthur Tinniswood Dalton.
