The Board and Staff of the C.D. Howe Institute mourn the passing of Roger Phillips, who served on the Institute’s Board from 1991 through 2003, and subsequently was an honorary director.
He was an exemplary supporter of the Institute, deeply engaged in its policy work and passionate about its mission. In 2006, he contributed what was then the largest gift in the Institute’s history, donating $1 million to create the Institute’s first endowed chair, the Roger Phillips Scholar in Social Policy.
We offer our sympathy to his family and friends, and acknowledge our profound gratitude for his contributions.
