BIG IDEAS: THE SOCIAL CRUSADES OF JOSEPH E. ATKINSON

BIG IDEAS: The social crusades of J. E. Atkinson

Book captures Atkinson’s mission as written in the pages of The Toronto Star

Big Ideas: The Social Crusades of Joseph E Atkinson, is a book that captures the Atkinson legacy in the words he wrote or commissioned for The Toronto Star during his 49 years at the helm.

The Atkinson Foundation set out to publish Big Ideas as a valuable resource for Canadian historians and anyone interested in the building of Canada. It documents the influence of Atkinson in guiding and goading Canada to create and enshrine our social safety net and speaks passionately to the causes that Atkinson championed – including social justice, civil liberties, Canadian independence, civic affairs and the rights of workers.

The book is available in pdf format by clicking here (7.6 MB)
