Former Premier Gerald Regan has passed away at the age of 91.
Premier Stephen McNeil’s office offered its condolences in a news release on Wednesday morning.
Regan died on Tuesday, according to the release.
“Gerald Regan believed in the potential of Nova Scotia, with a vision for our future prosperity. He governed with a true sense of liberal values – investing in people, creating economic development and ensuring fiscal responsibility,” said Premier McNeil.
Regan served as premier from 1970-78, and also served two terms as an MP – from 1963-65 and again from 1980-84.
He was also found reporting play-by-plays for local hockey games on CKBW early in his career.
