Bill Waiser has received the University of Saskatchewan Distinguished Researcher Award for 2004. Bill is one of Canada's leading historians, with thirteen articles and eight books to his name. His ninth book will be the much-anticipated official history of the province. Best known to a wider public for his Looking Back series on the CBC news, Bill's skills as communicator and teacher on campus brought him a College of Arts and Science Teaching Excellence Award in 2002. Bill is horribly young to be winning these life-time achievement awards, but fortunately for us it is quite likely that the best is yet to come.
