Finally, former Maclean’s and Canadian Business publisher (and Masthead columnist) Paul Jones was recently elected to the Board of Directors at Canada’s National History Society, which publishes The Beaver and Kayak: Canada’s History Magazine for Kids. Jones, as Masthead readers will have learned in the Sept/Oct issue, has “a keen interest in family history.” He also recently concluded a two-year term as chair of the Toronto Branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society.
