John G. Keith Memorial

Gifts in memory of John (Jack) G. Keith will be directed to the Jack and Yvonne Keith Entrance Award at the request of the Keith family.

Jack Keith, C.M., DCOMM’98 exemplified the spirit of Saint Mary's by always giving back to the community. When Jack received the Order of Canada in 1993, he was described as a "banker with large reserves of social conscience." He received this honour for his outstanding volunteerism in education, the arts and cancer fundraising.

Jack’s contributions to the Saint Mary's community have been immense. He served as Chair of the Board of Governors at Saint Mary's from 1994-97, and was the founding chair of the Sobey School of Business Advisory Council, a position he held for 18 years, in addition to many other volunteer roles. Jack was presented the Honorary Gold "M" in 1997 by the Saint Mary's University Student Association which is their highest honour for a non-student in recognition of his many contributions to student affairs.

Special Note: Saint Mary’s will provide the Keith Family with a list of memorial gift donors and contact information unless otherwise directed by selecting ‘anonymous’ donation.
