We were saddened to learn of the death of Rita MacNeil

Rita-webWe were saddened to learn of the death of Rita MacNeil this morning – she was a talented and iconic Cape Bretoner who will be missed.

In 2011, CBU Press published Getting it Done: Conversations with Cape Breton Leaders by Steve Sutherland at CBC Cape Breton’s Information Morning. Included in that collections is an interview with Rita MacNeil. We have provided that excerpt here: Rita MacNeil excerpt.

Our condolences go out to Rita’s family and her many friends and colleagues.
