    April 20, 2017 / Vol. 53 No. 14 westernnews.ca PM 41195534 Western’s newspaper of record since 1972 Seize the moment Western applauds federal re-investment in scientific research BY ADELA TALBOT new blueprint for scientific research – said to be the most comprehensive in four decades – offers Canada a renewed opportunity to be a world-changer in the sciences, according to AWestern administrators and scholars. Commissioned last year by Minister of Science Kirsty Duncan, and led by former University of Toronto Presi- dent David Naylor, the Report of the Advisory Panel for Federal Support for Fundamental Science – dubbed the Naylor Report – calls for a new vision of sustained excellence across postsecondary disciplines. Released April 10, the report stated that federal government sources represent just 25 per cent of total research-and-development funding that takes place in higher education. The panel recommended enhanced READ ALL ABOUT IT support for early career researchers; Read the Report of the strategic and coordinated collabora- Advisory Panel for Federal tion for international and interdisci- Support for Fundamental plinary research; improved gender equity in science; and increased Science – dubbed the Naylor funding for discovery research. Report – at sciencereview.ca. “The report rightly concludes that Canada’s research competitiveness has eroded significantly in recent years, and it offers a wide-ranging list of recommenda- tions that aim to reposition our country as one seriously committed to global leadership in science and scholarly inquiry,” Western President Amit Chakma said. NOT Key emphases at Western have included innovation, internationalization and collaboration – which are like- wise at the core of the Naylor Report, he said.

This production will have its premiere in Ottawa by the NAC on June 15 and 17, 2017. Composed by Harry Somers for Canada’s centennial in 1967, Louis Riel is a uniquely Canadian contribution to the opera world about Métis leader Louis Riel and Canada’s westward expansion. Telling the history of Louis Riel is ever more important in this period of Truth and Reconciliation. “Perhaps the most considerable challenge in staging this opera is the Eurocentric tradition of opera as a form and its collision with the voice, culture and representation of indigeneity in this history,” says Louis Riel director Peter Hinton. “It is a delicate balance of renewing the original spirit of the opera with contemporary perspectives in order to revise the opera’s colonial biases and bring forward its inherent strengths and powers.” A group of Indigenous men and women have been cast as a physical chorus known as the Land Assembly.
