Remembering Fraser Mustard (1927-2011) and Moving Manitoba Forward

November 25, 2011:

On Wednesday last week, Manitoba and the world lost a beloved grandfather and father, not only of his own family but of a social, political, and intellectual movement that reshaped our understanding of what our children need from their earliest years to live their lives more healthy, wealthy, and wise, and what we all need to do now to ensure the future of our society. For this and much more he was renowned worldwide and personally shaped the policies of nations, states, and provinces, including our own Premiers Selinger, Doer, and Filmon. Each considered him a friend, as did each of us.
