Remembering Margaret Pidlaski

Margaret Pidlaski, director of the Adult Language Training Branch of Manitoba Immigration, died tragically over Christmas in a bus crash while on a holiday visit to Peru. Margaret was a leader in English language training for newcomers and although living in Manitoba, Margaret’s influence was felt across the country. She had friends, colleagues and contacts in most provinces, was a mentor to many and was well known and respected for sharing the expertise and resources that have made Manitoba, under her guidance, a leader in language training in Canada. ISIS and immigrants in our community will continue to benefit from Margaret’s generosity of spirit and collaborative nature for a long time to come. At this very difficult time for all who loved and respected Margaret so much, we would like to offer our thoughts and best wishes.
