Jack Layton loved teaching and learning. He cherished his many years as a university professor which inspired him to continue fighting for young people throughout his political career. Beyond politics, he was a well-loved academic leader for thousands of Canadians the country over.
In memory of Jack Layton’s passionate work with students, the Layton Legacy will establish an academic scholarship this year for the benefit of students who are studying in Jack’s field of expertise and areas of work.
The scholarship will be made available to undergraduate, masters, and PhD students.
In the coming weeks and months, the Layton Legacy will announce the details of the newly established Jack Layton Scholarship.
Please stay tuned.
