Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryJAMES DONALD COLLINSON
The family of James Donald Collinson sadly announce his passing on March 12, 2024, in Nanaimo, BC.
He is survived by his loving wife, Carolyn, children, Greg and Kathryn, sister Jeanne and will be sadly missed by Hugh, Kara, Lyle, Islay, Nick, and John.
Born in Souris, MB, Jim graduated from the University of Manitoba, (BSc Agriculture 1963) and the University of Michigan, (Masters Degree in Resource Economics, 1966).
His career included senior positions with the Government of Manitoba, followed by several executive assignments with the Federal Government, including at Treasury Board, Parks Canada and Environment Canada. Upon retirement from the federal government, he devoted his time to consulting, mentoring and advocating for issues he deemed significant, particularly finding more effective ways of living sustainably in our world.
Those of us who loved him and were fortunate to be blessed with sharing his life and love, are devastated, but forever grateful for that privilege.
In keeping with Jim's wishes, a private interment will be held at a later date. In memory of Jim, donations may be made to Souris Legion or to the Souris-Glenwood Foundation, Box 518, Souris, MB R0K2C0.
