Mingo 1926 - 2005 It is with extreme sadness the Atlantic Institute for Market Studies (AIMS) marks the death of J.W.E. (Bill) Mingo, a valuable member of our Board of Directors. Bill played a key role in the founding of AIMS, leading up to the Institute’s launch in early 1995, and was one of the first members of the Board. He along with George Cooper and Brian Lee Crowley recognized the vacuum in public policy discussion in Atlantic Canada and strove to fill it. Bill watched over AIMS through its first decade of work which included four Sir Antony Fisher International Memorial Awards for innovative projects and its most recent Templeton Freedom Award for Institute Excellence. Just the day before his death, Bill attended the AIMS annual general meeting and Board of Directors meeting. His support and guidance will be missed. “Bill was with us at the very beginning and never wavered in his support,” said AIMS president Brian Lee Crowley. “His drive, insight, and experience helped make AIMS what it is today. Bill accomplished much in his remarkable life and I feel honoured to consider AIMS among those accomplishments.” His dedication to the purpose of AIMS is reflected in the many things he contributed to throughout his life. Bill promoted legal education and research, and was instrumental in establishing the Law Foundation of Nova Scotia. He is recognized as one of the founders of legal aid in Nova Scotia. Bill also helped put Halifax on the map as one of the world’s leading ports as a long-time member and chair of the Halifax-Dartmouth Port Commission. The Port of Halifax is an integral part of AIMS’ Atlantica concept, a bi- national region straddling the Canada-US border in the northeast corner of North America. AIMS chairman David Mann, president Brian Lee Crowley and all the directors and staff of AIMS offer their condolences to Bill’s family, his wife Edith and his children and grandchildren.
