Winnipeg philanthropist Doug Harvey has passed away at the age of 72. The Harvest Manitoba organization honored him in a social media post, praising his generous contributions and compassionate nature. Harvey was the CEO of DLH Group, a national network of businesses that support heavy duty truck and trailer users. Despite his illness, he made a significant donation to the CancerCare Manitoba Foundation, ultimately raising more than double his initial goal of $1 million.
Harvey served on the foundation's board for over 15 years, including five as chairperson. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2014 and remained open about his battle with the disease throughout his life. The Free Press newspaper expressed its condolences to Harvey's family and the community he touched.
