Indeed he has. In the intervening years, Ken has donated $3.98 million to TRU and recently added $275,000 to increase all of his awards by 10 per cent to account for post-pandemic inflation. Ken has 17 student awards at TRU that are funded by his endowments, including a new award for software engineering. The 82-year-old also has awards in science, nursing, trades, business, law, education, animal health technology, culinary arts, tourism management, respiratory therapy and graduate studies. Ken started out as a chartered accountant, then entered the sand and gravel business with a client, Ron Bregoliss. From there, Ken became a landlord of multiple rental properties and has done well enough to donate substantial amounts to the various causes.

Two of Canada s best-known Aboriginal actors take to the Sagebrush stage next week for performances that promise to lift mid-winter s deep chill.
Lorne Cardinal and Margo Kane play the narrator and Nana in For the Pleasure of Seeing Her Again, Michel Tremblay s heartwarming homage to his mother. As soon as I read it, I said I want to do this, Cardinal said during rehearsal at Pavilion Theatre on Wednesday. Margo fit the bill and was my first choice for Nana.
For the Pleasure of Seeing Her Again is a work of universal experience, a memory play by Quebec s most prominent playwright. Since his breakthrough in the mid- 60s - the influential Les Belles-Soeurs - Tremblay has been distinguished for bringing a distinctly Quebecois theatre to national and international audiences. He is known for his deft portrayals of women, obviously a key aspect in this play.
