Canada honors Lester Pearson with building and college
The country names a new Lester B Pearson Building for External Affairs in Ottawa and plans Pearson College of the Pacific, a worldwide education project aimed at fostering world cooperation. Queen Elizabeth II will open the building with Prime Minister Trudeau present. Pearson’s widow Maryon chairs the fundraising for the college, seeking about 3 million dollars. Pearson, 75 at death, shaped Canada’s peacekeeping role and won a Nobel Prize for diplomacy.
