Honouring Jack MacKenzie
Joy is a word that pops up often when you're around MacKenzie. Having a school in Regina named after him is \"a joy\"; one that continues through his regular visits with the students and teachers there. A sculpture in the school and an award called The Joy of Effort epitomize MacKenzie's philosophy by encouraging students to \"Have a go!\" and recognizing the student who best exhibits \"... the good feeling you get when you do your very best.\" He also provided seed money to establish the MacKenzie Random Acts of Kindness Trust Fund, which provides opportunities, guidance and funding for students to initiate and implement worthwhile projects for deserving individuals or groups, or environmental causes. Many of the workers who helped build the lodge and cut trails at Saskairie were members of the nearby White Bear First Nation. MacKenzie fostered this relationship by inviting Elders and others from the First Nation to share their traditional knowledge of the area's plants and animals, and to demonstrate how to build and make things. Eventually, Saskairie hosted conferences (called Kiynowa, a Cree word for \"all of us together\") where First Nations people shared their culture with members of the public, including RCMP officers. The initiative was a natural evolution of MacKenzie's earlier canoeing expeditions in northern Saskatchewan. \"Going up the Churchill, I could see that the Aboriginal people had a different way of paddling and handling a canoe,\" MacKenzie says. \"I could do a lot of the things they did, but they did it differently. It became obvious to me that if we could have expeditions with kids from the south and the north mixed together, and an Aboriginal co-leader, we could learn from each other.\" The idea led MacKenzie to make fast friends with several Aboriginal guides who helped lead several expeditions.

Victorian-era minnow learns how to swim with bigger fish Small building society prospers by offering the personal touch
Although a series of societies including Lambeth and Universal have surrendered to bigger players in recent months, Norman MacKenzie, chief executive of Edinburghbased Century, said it would continue to go its own way. MacKenzie, who runs the 107-year-old Century with a handful of staff, believes being small allows the society to offer a personal approach that pays real dividends in an increasingly impersonal age. \"We can offer a fast and flexible service with ease of access to staff who are in a position to make decisions as opposed to the frustrations of dealing with a lengthy and time consuming decision- making hierarchy or call centre.\" While net assets increased from GBP20,442,399 to GBP22,261,184 in calendar 2005, amounts due to Century under mortgages slipped from GBP16,194,810 to GBP16,173,676.
