The University of Winnipeg congratulates Shelly Glover, Member of Parliament for Saint Boniface, on her new post as minister of Canadian Heritage and official languages, following a reshuffling in Prime Minister Stephen Harper cabinet. Glover is an associate alumna of UWinnipeg; she studied Justice and Law Enforcement at the university.
Glover is the second consecutive federal minister from Manitoba with a connection to the University of Winnipeg. Vic Toews attended and graduated from UWinnipeg in 1973 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in History. He has also lectured from time to time on various legal and governmental issues at the institution, and received an Honorary Doctorate — UWinnipeg’s highest distinction — in 2010.
