Dr. Chandler leaves a lasting legacy and will be remembered by colleagues and students as an intellectual force and valued advisor. His research interests included social-cognitive development in general, and, more particularly, the cross-cultural study of processes of identity formation and their impact on the health and wellbeing on Indigenous youth. His research lead to his twice being named a Distinguished Fellow of the Peter Wall Institute for Advanced Studies. His widely cited program of research was widely circulated and featured in WHO’s global report on the Social Determinants of Health. These and other efforts earned Dr. Chandler the Killam Memorial Senior Research Prize, the Killam Teaching Prize, to his being named Canada’s only Distinguished Investigator of both the CIHR and the Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research. Most recently, he was honoured with APA’s 2018 International Mentorship Award.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to BCSPCA, St. John’s Hospice.
