  • Barb Stegemann Is on a Mission to Make the World a Better Place—And Beauty Products Are Her Weapon of Choice
    Scents Sensibility& Barb Stegemann is on a mission to make the world a better place—and beauty products are her weapon of choice BY STEPHEN KIMBER “THREE THOUSAND GOURDE,” the porter said. “For your check-in.” It was November 2016, and Barb Stegemann (a high-energy motivational speaker, author of The 7 Virtues of a Philosopher Queen and president and CEO of The 7 Virtues Beauty Inc., a Halifax-based fragrance company with a global social entrepreneurial mission) was standing at the American Airlines check-in counter at the airport in Port au Prince. She’d traveled to Haiti to meet with local essential oils suppliers, as well as to volunteer in the aftermath of the devastating Hurricane Matthew, which had ripped through that incredibly poor, hard-luck country that was then still reeling—and still far from recovered—after a massive 2010 earthquake. It was that earthquake (which killed more than 250,000 Haitians, displaced 1.5 million more and damaged or destroyed close to 4,000 schools) that had brought Stegemann to Haiti in the first place. Having already made a name for herself by creating perfumes sourced from fair trade suppliers in Afghanistan in order to goose that war-ravaged country’s legal economic development, Stegemann was the only Canadian invited to join a Clinton Foundation post-earthquake recovery trade mission to Haiti in 2012. That mission led to the launch—appropriately on United Nations International Day of Peace—of Vetiver of Haiti, a perfume made from an essential oil Stegemann had purchased there. On this buying-volunteering trip, however, she’d encountered one of the realities often faced by those who want to bring social change to war- and-disaster plagued countries: endemic corruption.

  • True Patriot Love 2017 Multinational Symposium
    Identity of Self and Family Family and Community-Centric Care Hope in Transition 2017 True Patriot Love Multinational Symposium: The Impact of Injury on the Family Presented by Scotiabank Presented by Scotiabank 1 Introduction True Patriot Love Foundation (TPL) is a national charity dedicated to providing Canadian military and Veteran families with the support they need and the hope they deserve. Since 2009, TPL has provided $25 million to fund innovative research and support 750 community-based programs across the country. By addressing the unique challenges resulting from military service including mental health, physical rehabilitation, transitioning to civilian life, and the special needs of children, TPL has helped change the lives of more than 25,000 military families. From September 23 to 30, the Invictus Games 2017 was held in Toronto. On September 22, the eve of the Opening Ceremony, TPL held its fourth Multinational Symposium, bringing together international thought leaders, military and Veteran families, and Invictus Games competitors to discuss an important issue: the impact of service- related injury on military families. Also present was His Royal Highness Prince Henry of Wales, who founded the Invictus Games to support injured soldiers and their families. The TPL symposia serve to address Veterans’ issues on a global scale and advance the well-being of military families by: • Increasing our understanding of the challenges military families face resulting from the unique conditions of service in times of peace and conflict • Creating an international dialogue on best practices to improve the quality of, and accessibility to, programs and services that support military families • Fostering engaging partnerships between and across sectors that will have meaningful impact on military families Shaun Francis, Founder and Chair of the TPL Board of Directors, set the tone for the day.

I sat down one Friday and started working on it and by Sunday I had it 75% written thanks to material that Adrian French had sent me – I say written as I had basically copied material from others but I did still had to sort it out! I have switched tenses often in the history - that wasn’t my intention but I did. I wrote a lot of it in the present tense and so my perspective on the history pervades the book.

  • The the 50Th Anniversary of the Canadian Armed Forces Logistics
    The The 50th Anniversary of the Canadian Armed Forces Logistics Branch “In the Shadows of the Limelight” The tales, anecdotes, salty dips and rumoured to be true stories from those who served Edition 1 January 18, 2019 Edited by LCol Mike Hendrigan, CD (Retired) Dedication n putting this collection of stories together, I often wondered if a dedication was required, and it was, how would I word it? I pondered the subject for way too long and as the weeks I turned into months, I thought about possible options and formats. In my research into what I thought would be an easy matter, I found the following information on dedications: A dedication could be addressed to a parent, a sibling or other family member, a friend a supervisor or even a mascot. Ok, this was a start. A dedication could be formal or informal, and provide a reason. There is no one way to write a dedication. Darn, back to square one. So with no right answer, no fixed format and no further ahead, I came up with a couple dedications that seemed appropriate. If you want to see what I came up with, keep reading. Otherwise, skip this part and flip a few pages forward to the first “Log Tale”. On my first attempt, I came up with this: This book is dedicated to the thousands of serving logisticians who will be celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Canadian Armed Forces Logistics Branch on 1 February 2018. That seemed a little too vanilla and bland, so I came up with a second version: To all logisticians, past and present, who supported CAF operations, missions and exercises with honour.

    Contemporary Canadian military/media relations: Embedded reporting during the Afghanistan War by Sherry Marie Wasilow Submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Communication Carleton, University Ottawa, ON 2017 © 2017 Sherry M. Wasilow ABSTRACT News reporters have been sporadically attached to military units as far back as the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, but the U.S. implemented the first official and large-scale embedded program in 2003 during the Iraq War. The Canadian Forces Media Embedding Program (CFMEP) was officially implemented in 2006 during the Afghanistan War. While considerable research has been carried out on the U.S. and British embed programs and their impact on media coverage, there has been very little academic study of Canada’s CFMEP, or its impact on media coverage of the Afghanistan War. This work seeks to investigate Canadian military/media relations throughout a period of roughly 10 years during Canada’s mission in Afghanistan. In doing so, it will examine how official procedures governing media coverage – particularly embedding policy – gave shape to the war reporting received by Canadians. First, within the broader subject area of military/media relations, this study establishes the origins of embedded reporting, and Canada’s reasons for becoming involved in the Afghanistan War. Second, it weaves together academic, official (both military and government), and journalist perspectives regarding the practice and effects of embedded reporting on Canadian war reporting during the Afghanistan mission. Third, it analyzes coverage by four major media organizations of Canada’s participation in the Afghanistan War during a 10-year period: from its initial military contributions in 2001 through to the end of troop deployment in 2011.
