Trout Unlimited Canada its members and supporters were saddened to learn of the passing of former Shaw Communications CEO and Calgary Dinner Chair Jim Shaw. Jim Shaw began his career with Shaw, the company his father founded, in 1982, working as a construction worker and cable installer, and later served as the company’s second CEO from 1998 to 2010. During his time as CEO Jim saw the company’s revue grow to $3.7 billion.
Trout Unlimited Canada has lost a friend and supporter. Jim’s commitment to the conservation and protection of Canada’s water as dinner chair in 2004 and 2009 helped us put more work on the ground. His generosity and vision inspired Trout Unlimited Canada to think bigger and reach farther. He will be missed.
Our condolences and prayers go out to his wife, Kathryn, his three children and three step-children, during this difficult time.
