Anderson Charters, publisher of the annual Canadian Donor's Guide, has announced that Charter Press Ltd. has purchased the Canadian Who's Who (CWW) from University of Toronto Press.

University of Toronto Press had been publishing the Canadian Who's Who reference title annually since the late 1970's.  The 2010 edition of Canadian Who's Who was the 100^th anniversary edition.

CWW contains 13,500 biographical entries of prominent Canadians.  Regarding the importance of CWW to Canadian bibliography, Roch Carrier, former National Librarian, said: "These lives, summed up in a few lines, recount history as it was and is being made."
