CAE Director Passes Away
CAE says its former Chairman, R.
Fraser Elliott, passed away Wednesday in Toronto. Elliott, who had
served previously as Chairman of CAE, had been a director of the
company since 1951.
A graduate of Queen's University, Osgoode Hall Law School, and
Harvard University, Elliott was one of the two founding partners of
the law firm Stikeman Elliott, where he remained a senior partner
until his death. An author, patron of the arts and philanthropist,
he was appointed to the Order of Canada in 1980.
"On behalf of the company’s board of directors and all of
CAE’s employees, I would like to extend my sincere
condolences to Elliott’s family. His knowledge of the
industry and of CAE as well as his strategic vision will be greatly
missed," said Robert E. Brown, CAE’s President and Chief
Executive Officer.
To honor Elliott’s contribution to the company, CAE had,
in 2001, donated C$1 million for the creation of the "R. Fraser
Elliott Scholarship and Laboratory Program" at the École
Polytechnique and the Université de Montréal. As part
of this program, "CAE – R. Fraser Elliott" undergraduate
scholarships are awarded to third-year Engineering students at the
École Polytechnique, and to Computer Science students at the
Université de Montréal. In addition, the "R. Fraser
Elliott Modeling and Simulation Laboratory" was established at the
École Polytechnique to teach students how to create computer
models of complex real-world systems involving aircraft, the
environment and the human body.
