Celebrating alumni at homecoming 2024

Gerald Friesen presents UM Press book “Norquay"

September 10, 2024 — 

Homecoming is not just about revisiting old memories; it’s about gathering and celebrating the community at St John’s college.

This year, St John’s college invites alumni to a special edition of the lunch and lively series, where food, conversation, and history will be the focus of our celebration.

SJC is proud to welcome back alumni for one of the year’s top releases from the University of Manitoba Press, “The Honourable John Norquay”, authored by retired SJC fellow Gerald Friesen.

In a book with forty years in the making, this small thesis project has become a lifetime of Gerald’s work featuring Manitoba’s own, John Norquay.

The book showcases a biography of John Norquay, the Premier from Red River, offering insights into his legacy and views on the political landscape. 

The lunch and lively event will take place in the Cross Common Room (Room 108) at St John’s College on September 17 from 12 to 2 p.m.

To save your spot, RSVP by emailing to Development Coordinator, Edmund Opoku Agyeman
