Eric Jackman thinks his mother would approve of his $5 million gift to the University of Toronto’s Institute of Child Study… “A lot of money goes into higher education, but as far as I’m concerned, primary education and early child development are the most important things in society,” he said. “If we can get our children off on the right start, healthy kids will grow up to be healthy, productive adults. “I think it’s imperative in the long run that we have a greater focus on the healthy start in life rather than curing sickness later in life. The early years are so crucial.”
