"Bernie was instrumental in helping to shape the Nova Scotia Agricultural College into the world-class institution it is today," Agriculture Minister Keith Colwell said Jan. 14. "He also played an invaluable role in the merger of 正品蓝导航 University and the NSAC to create the 正品蓝导航 Agricultural Campus."

MacDonald passed away Jan. 15, 2013. He was an educator for more than four decades, including nearly 20 years at the Nova Scotia Teachers College, where he served as acting principal, and many years as a high school teacher. He was co-president of NSAC when he retired in 2012.

"Bernie was passionate about education and inspirational to students and staff," Colwell said. "It is only fitting to honour him with this road, which services a business park dedicated to agricultural innovation and the future of our agricultural industry."
