The entire Trudeau Centre community – including myself and the former Directors, Wendy Wong, John Lindsay, Carmen Cheung and Ron Levi – were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Donald Macdonald on Sunday 14 October, 2018.  Along with his wife Adrian, he was a tremendous supporter of the Trudeau Centre for Peace, Conflict and Justice, as they served together as co-chairs of the Advisory Board, and played a critical role in shaping the program.  These contributions were recognized with the establishment of the Adrian and Donald Macdonald Intern Scholarship, which supports internship opportunities for students in the PCJ program.  He will be sorely missed by many within the Trudeau Centre Community, and across the country, and we send our deepest condolences to his family.

A longer statement – along with information about making donations to the Intern Scholarship in his name – can be be found here.
