I have just been informed that Ed Larter, triticale breeder and a professor in this department died yesterday in Winnipeg at the age of 100.

I will pass along any more information that I received regarding Dr. Larter.

The University of Manitoba campuses are located on original lands of Anishinaabe, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota and Dene peoples, and on the homeland of the Métis Nation. I respect the Treaties that were made on these territories, acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past, and dedicate myself to move forward in partnership with Indigenous communities in a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration.
