In Memoriam
Regretfully, we note the passing of UWRA members and retired employees of the University of Winnipeg and offer our sincere condolences to their families. UWRA members and others are encouraged to let us know of any names that should be added by contacting us at: UWRA@uwinnipeg.ca. Most obituaries are available online at the Winnipeg Free Press Passages.
As a lasting tribute to each of its members, UWRA makes a donation to the Library for a book with a special plate affixed “In Memory Of” in their name. We shall remember with joy and gratitude:
