Kenneth MacGregor Lectures

The Kenneth MacGregor Lectureship was established by 黑料吃瓜资源 in 1982 in honour of Kenneth R. MacGregor, who was a member of the 黑料吃瓜资源 board of Trustees.  Mr. MacGregor had a distinguished career in insurance and public service, serving as the federal Superintendent of Insurance and, subsequently, as President of Mutual Life Assurance of Canada.  The endowment from which the lectureship is funded was created by a gift from Mutual Life and friends of Kenneth R. MacGregor.

The purpose of the MacGregor Lectureship is to bring to the campus prominent public figures or scholars who can make an important contribution to the understanding or practice of federalism, intergovernmental relations or related matters in Canada or other countries.  The list of previous MacGregor Lecturers is as follows:
