The Centre for Labour Management Relations mourns the loss of Buzz Hargrove
We are deeply saddened to share the news of the passing of Buzz Hargrove, a visionary leader and the founding force behind the Centre for Labour Management Relations. Buzz’s unwavering commitment to improving labour relations in Canada helped shape the Centre’s mission from its earliest days. His legacy as a champion for workers, a principled negotiator, and a builder of dialogue between labour and management continues to guide our work and inspire all who were fortunate to know him.
He will be profoundly missed.
