The Jane Armstrong Earl and Lawrence Earl Fund

Throughout the mid-20th century, Jane Armstrong was a noted international journalist praised for her work as a female Canadian war correspondent during the Second World War. Her accomplishments were many – she interviewed world leaders, covered the British House of Commons and wrote for numerous magazines and newspapers.

She and her husband Lawrence Earl, lived and worked in London, England for most of their careers – frequently returning to Saint John to enjoy time with friends and family.

In their later years, Mr. and Mrs. Earl returned home to Canada, settling in the family home in New Brunswick.
Following Mrs. Earl’s death, her husband endowed the Jane Armstrong Earl Fund in 2001 because, as Mr. Earl said, “I want Jane to be remembered.”

Upon the death of Mr. Earl in 2005, the fund was renamed The Jane Armstrong Earl and Lawrence Earl Fund.

The legacy of both Jane and Lawrence Earl supports many worthy charities and groups throughout the Greater Saint John area.
