Remembering

MICHAEL COLLINS MCINTYRE

July 11, 1947 - November 5, 2022 (see obituary here)

“May I, you, we, know joy
even in the midst of the struggles…
May I, you, we, occasion joy as often as possible,
May I, you, we, live in the safety of kindness always.”

-Michael Collins McIntyre

A highly accomplished award-winning professor, researcher, and administrator. Dr. Michael McIntyre, Dean Emeritus at the University of Winnipeg served as the Research Program Leader with the Compassion Project at the St. Boniface Hospital Research Centre. His impressive legacy of research includes more than 40 refereed journal articles and 55 conference presentations and informal publications. He also served as an Affiliated Scientist and Program Leader of the Functional Neuroimaging Program at the National Research Council of Canada, and has supervised doctoral and post-doctoral students in psychology, neuropsychology, neurophysiology, linguistics, radiology, and physics. A trained teacher of MSC and MBSR and Compassion for Couples, his teachings were infused with the warmth and power of stories. Personally familiar with the burdens of chronic illness, he could not imagine a definition of health that doesn't include being able to be kind to oneself. Proud Papa to 4 beautiful grandchildren, and Dad to 6 adult children and their partners, together with Dawn, they shared their lives with their loving rescue dog, June.
