He dedicated his career to the Health Sciences Centre in Winnipeg and the University of Manitoba, where he became full professor in 1986. He was instrumental in developing community support for those with mental illness and took a lead role in the development of the Manitoba Mental Health Research Foundation in the early 1970s.
