New Online Research Tool

A comprehensive biography of former premier and current senator, Catherine Callbeck, was released in November. Written by Island historian and political scientist, Wayne MacKinnon, the book, entitled, The Politics of Principle, details Callbeck’s career from her first public involvement as a volunteer in her local community, through her groundbreaking election as Canada’s first elected female premier and subsequent service in the Senate of Canada.
