David Barnard accepts the ice bucket challenge

University of Manitoba president and vice-chancellor David Barnard accepts the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge from UMSU president Al Turnbull, and his daughter Rasna Madhur, and challenges fellow Winnipeg university presidents Annette Trimbee (University of Winnipeg), Cheryl Pauls (Canadian Mennonite University), and Gabor Csepregi (Université de Saint-Boniface).
