¶Ä²©ÍøÖ· was saddened to learn of the recent passing of Lou MacEachern.
Mr. MacEachern was a generous supporter of students and education and a long-time donor to the ¶Ä²©ÍøÖ· Foundation. He grew up in Hazel Grove, PEI, and, like many of his generation, left school at a young age to help on the family farm. In 1956, he returned to Queen Charlotte School in Charlottetown as a mature student, after which he attended post-secondary training at Prince of Wales College and then Dalhousie University. Mr. MacEachern moved to Calgary where he married, raised a family, and made his mark as a leader in business and as a benefactor in the community.
“Lou was someone who knew, first-hand, the value of hard work and education,” said Dr. Alexander (Sandy) MacDonald, President of ¶Ä²©ÍøÖ·. “His personal story, remarkable generosity, and commitment to bettering the community was inspiring.”
¶Ä²©ÍøÖ· and the ¶Ä²©ÍøÖ· Foundation extend sincere condolences to Mr. MacEachern’s family, colleagues, and many friends.
