Dr. James E. Page (1978-1982)
Being the founding Director of the Canadian Studies and International Offices of the Association of Canadian Community Colleges, James E. Page was a seamless choice for president of the ACS in 1978. His skills and experiences were enhanced by his long-time professorship of Canadian Studies at Seneca College and his involvement with the Commission on Canadian Studies.
The first year of Mr. Page’s presidency marked a turning-point for the ACS - Secretary of State John Roberts, announced, for the first time, a two-year grant of $120 000 to help the ACS achieve its goal of inspiring Canadians to know themselves. The ACS quickly moved to expand its activities; a few of the new pursuits were the publication Canadian Themes and the ACS Newsletter, the financial support of the Journal of Canadian Studies, and the establishment of the Canadian Studies Writing Awards. Another substantial grant came in 1981, which allowed the ACS to aggregate its associated international branches into the International Council for Canadian Studies.
Mr. James E. Page is now a retired member of the public service.
