"Giving back to the community seems to come naturally to Lynn, owner of Kitchener’s Music Plus,”

said Conrad Grebel Music Chair, Dr. Kenneth Hull, when announcing Lynn McRuer as this year’s winner of the Conrad Grebel University College Distinguished Alumni Service award.

In a groundbreaking constitutional amendment this March, Conrad Grebel University College students voted almost unanimously to increase their residence fees by ten dollars a term, in addition to regular fee increases.
