PREMIER--ROSS BRAGG DEATH A LOSS FOR NOVA SCOTIA ----------------------------------------------------------------- Premier John Savage said today he is "deeply saddened" by the death of former cabinet colleague and MLA Ross Bragg. "Nova Scotia has lost an outstanding public figure. I have lost a good friend. Ross will be profoundly missed by all those who had contact with him." Premier Savage said that Mr. Bragg was tireless in his efforts to make Nova Scotia a better place in which to live. "This was a goal he pursued both as a provincial cabinet minister and as a private citizen. Ross was an unabashed supporter of all that is good about Nova Scotia." Premier Savage said that as a businessman, Ross Bragg was able to bring a business perspective to government. "That is why I asked Ross to become this government's first minister responsible for the Economic Renewal Agency, an agency Ross helped create. Ross was also a fighter, a trait he amply displayed both in public life and during his long battle with ill health. "On behalf of Nova Scotians I want to express our deepest sympathy to Ross's wife Cathy and members of his family." -30- Contact: David Harrigan 902-424-6600 trp Apr. 1, 1997 - 12:30 p.m.
