The Good News Service
The Good News Service was created by Murray Thomson, a long-time member of Canadian Pugwash, who died on 2 May 2019, aged 96.
Thomson was also a major contributor to the Canadians for a Nuclear Weapons Convention initiative:
“The Order of Canada is the country’s highest civilian honour and is the centrepiece of Canada’s honours system. It recognizes a lifetime of outstanding achievement, dedication to the community and service to the nation.
