I am delighted to welcome Vice-Admiral Bruce Donaldson to the board,” said university president and vice-chancellor Allan Cahoon. “He is a distinguished Canadian leader who I look forward to working with as Royal Roads continues to distinguish itself as Canada’s most innovative, demand-base post secondary institution.”
