Teacher Training Programs Dept: Over the 59 years that followed, Angus taught in the Arctic, Singapore, Ontario, and New Brunswick, and was appointed dean of Ontario’s first university-level faculty of education. He is credited with creating the model the province of Ontario followed when it moved teacher-training programs into universities in 1969, according to Globe And Mail. Angus, who was born on April 27, 1928, grew up in the woods of the Muskoka region before it became a cottage playground. His father, William Scotty Nesbitt Angus, was the federal government’s lockmaster at Big Chute, where he oversaw the marine railway that carried boats across a section of the Severn River that had no hydraulic lock. It was part of the 19 +t +h +- century Trent-Severn Waterway that connected Lake Ontario with Georgian Bay by way of Peterborough and Orillia and when he still hadn’t tired of the classroom after two weeks, the teacher allowed him to stay, declaring him the school’s best student. He died at the age of 82 on June 16 of respiratory failure after breaking his hip. As reported in the news.
