[Candrama] In Memoriam: Ches Skinner

[Robin Whittaker]

Dear Colleagues,

CATR members mourn the loss of former president Ches Skinner. Renowned in Lethbridge for his community service and on the University of Lethbridge campus for his generosity and kind leadership, Ches was a friend and valued colleague to many and will be widely missed. I am grateful to have spoken with him at CATR 2022 at the University of Lethbridge when he was honoured with a Lifetime Achievement Associateship to CATR. Our thoughts are with Ches’s family and friends.


Les membres de l’ACRT pleurent la mort de Ches Skinner, ancien président de l’Association. Réputé à Lethbridge pour son dévouement au service de la communauté et sur le campus de l’Université de Lethbridge pour sa générosité et son leadership attentionné, Ches était un ami et un collègue précieux pour plusieurs d’entre nous. Il nous manquera grandement. Je suis heureux d’avoir discuté avec lui lors du colloque de l’ACRT de 2022, qui s’est tenu à l’Université de Lethbridge, et au cours duquel nous lui avons décerné le titre de chercheur émérite. Nos pensées accompagnent la famille et les camarades de Ches.


Sincerely,

Robin.
