Giving Back
Gord Haddock is a Commerce graduate, and the Haddocks have contributed time and money to The Edwards School of Business for decades. Since they have been in business all their working lives, it made sense to help students on a similar path.
Maureen graduated from The College of Education. For that reason, in 2008, they decided to expand their interests to include her Alma Mater. Maureen says, “We have contributed whatever we could afford over the years. One doesn’t need to wait for financial success before contributing to one’s college.”
The Haddocks love it when past recipients keep in touch. Maureen and Gordon are always happy to hear about their recipients’ accomplishments or offer an opinion if asked for it.
Scholarships since 1997
Gord Haddock has lobbied the past three decades of Deans in hopes of creating a major in entrepreneurship at Edwards School of Business. Gord and Maureen began by offering an annual scholarship in entrepreneurship. The amount and use of the scholarship evolved over the years.
Scholarships since 2009
The recipient of this award must be a student with a passion for writing and an interest in motivating students to write. Maureen is a graduate of the College of Education, a published author, and enjoys communications, training, and publicity duties. Maureen likes attending the awards ceremonies and meeting the student recipients when her schedule permits.
Maureen recently said, “I love it when recipients drop an occasional note to us. I imagine one of these young writers will have a book launch one day, and I will want to attend.”

Gord and Maureen have always shared their time with interested young people. Many conversations turn into relationships. Some relationships turn into friendships and even partnerships.
The Haddocks have been members of the Edwards Dean’s Circle from its inception in 2015.
The Haddocks like the idea of being part of the Dean’s Circle at the Murray Edward’s School of Business. Individuals can choose their level of financial commitment. They can be part of this exciting initiative if they have $1000 to give per year and commit for five years. Maureen and Gordon consider the circle a way to feel the pulse of the college, the students, and the future.
Maureen is pleased to be a contributor in the early stages of this initiative.
2027 is the College of Education’s centenary, and Maureen is happy to have a seat on the College of Education Centennial Alumni Advisory Circle.
