Born in Yorkshire, Moses Bruine Cotsworth moved to Vancouver in 1910. He devoted his considerable fortune to calendar reform. Calendar reform first became a topic of discussion in Canada in 1908 when Cotsworth presented his concept of a fixed thirteen-month calendar to the Royal Society of Canada. Although governments around the world realized the need for reform of the Gregorian calendar, Cotsworth's model was perceived to be too radical.
