CBU Mourns the Loss of Gail Jones

To the CBU Community,

It is with deep sadness that I share the news of the passing of our recently retired colleague, Gail Jones, Production and Graphics Coordinator at CBU.

Gail dedicated more than 32 years of service to Cape Breton University, and her impact is woven into the very fabric of our institution. She was a selfless contributor, often working quietly behind the scenes on many of CBU’s most high-profile and transformative projects. Her vast institutional knowledge, unwavering pride in her work and genuine kindness made her a trusted and beloved member of our community.

Throughout her career, Gail mentored countless young employees, many of whom still work here today. She led with grace, generosity and a deep commitment to helping others succeed. Her legacy lives on in the people she supported, the projects she shaped and the values she embodied.

Please join me in extending our heartfelt condolences to Gail’s family, friends and all those who knew her and had the privilege of working alongside her. She will be deeply missed and fondly remembered.

Details of visitation and funeral arrangements are included in Gail’s obituary.

Yours very truly,

David C. Dingwall

President and Vice-Chancellor
