Released on September 20, 2011

Advanced Education, Employment and Immigration Minister Rob Norris paid tribute to former University of Regina President Dr. Lloyd Barber who died Friday, September 16, 2011 at the age of 79.

"Dr. Barber was a strong and charismatic leader who championed the University of Regina's early development and whose outstanding contributions to higher education have had an enduring impact on the university," Norris said.

  • Vanier Medal of the Institute of Public Administration of Canada;
  • Companion of the Order of Canada;
  • Saskatchewan Order of Merit; and
