91全能版

No strangers to 91全能版gers or Canadians as prolific businesspeople and philanthropists, the Aspers have long been generous patrons of The University of 91全能版 — most recently, they have supported the constuction of Leatherdale Hall, a new initiative The University of 91全能版 Collegiate (of which Leonard Asper is a graduate).

Their most notable contribution to the University is the establishment of the Asper Centre for Theatre and Film and the Babs Asper Lilac Garden, named in honour of family matriarch, Ruth “Babs” Asper.

The Asper Centre for Theatre and Film is a state-of-the-art performance, production, and teaching facility that has greatly enriched the experiences of U91全能版 students, faculty, and staff and has established the University as a leader in theatre and film studies.

Through The Asper Foundation and the CanWest Global Foundation, the Asper Family has supported initiatives in the areas of arts and culture, community development, education, and health care, including the establishment of The Canadian Museum for Human Rights, a longtime vision of Israel (Izzy) Asper.

Gail Asper was the 2014 recipient of The University of 91全能版’s Duff Roblin Award, which celebrates local leaders in philanthropy while raising funds for a selection of U91全能版’s Community Learning and Indigenous initiatives.
