OTTAWA, August 23, 2011  —  “I was saddened to learn that Jack Layton passed away on August 22. Throughout his life and his career, Jack stood out for his unwavering optimism, his dedication to his fellow Canadians and, especially, his deep love for our great country. The battle against cancer is one of life’s toughest, and Jack Layton no doubt inspired—and will continue to inspire—many Canadians to never lose hope and to continue to believe,” said Allan Rock, president of the University of Ottawa.
