The Bonnycastle Lecture, held annually at The University of Winnipeg, was established in memory of Richard H.G. Bonnycastle, publisher, former Chair of the Winnipeg Metropolitan Council and the University’s first Chancellor. Typically, the lecture focuses on an area of special interest to Mr. Bonnycastle-the economic, social, and cultural life of cities.
Raised in Wyoming and educated in Colorado, Pace has worked in an array of civil society sectors including as a human rights activist, teacher, environmentalist, peace-advocate, inner-city campaigner and opponent of unsustainable development. In 1987, he joined Amnesty International as a director of the “Human Rights Now!” campaign concert tour in support of the 40th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Since 1995, Pace has served as the Convenor of the NGO Coalition for an International Criminal Court, an international network comprised of more than 2,000 organizations.
