STAFF VEHICLE: This 1942 Chevrolet represents the more than 90,000 staff cars of several types that were built during World War Two. Although the sale of cars to the public was curtailed during the war years, production was unabated for passenger cars for military use. Shipped throughout the world for use where the terrain would permit it, they would be equipped with black out curtains, guns, fire extinguisher and other military equipment. This vehicle was made at General Motors in Oshawa and is a proud representation of General Motors support of the war effort. Ontario Regiment Museum ARMOURED VEHICLE GENERAL PURPOSE (AVGP): Website: Back in 1977, the Canadian Government ordered three armoured fighting vehicles for the military, which would later be named the http://www.ontrmuseum.ca/ Grizzly, Cougar and Husky. Rather than build them from scratch, it tankmuseum/ was quickly chosen to derive these from the six-wheeled version of 1000 Stevenson Road North, the proven Swiss MOWAG Piranha I. This modular basis was used for Oshawa, ON the development of a fire-support/trainer vehicle, the Cougar, an armoured personnel carrier, the Grizzly, and an armoured recovery vehicle (ARV) to assist both, the Husky. The Cougar entered into service in 1976 and stayed active until 2004 when the vehicles were gradually retired and replaced. The Cougar was used both for training and as a reconnaissance vehicle and the armoured units employed it as a fire support vehicle. The Cougar was used by the IFOR/KFOR in ex-Yugoslavia.

MWO Turcotte enlisted in February 1978, at the age of 19, in Montreal. After completing basic training, language school and his QL3 in St Jean, Bruno got quite a cultural shock as a (, / young Frenchman, when he was posted to 1 Svc Bn Calgary in May of 1979. A year later after proving himself as an outstanding soldier and excellent technician he was accelerated to the rank of Corporal and sent to his QL5 in Borden. As soon as he returned to his unit he was offered to go to MOWAG Switzerland on the AVGP fleet. After demonstrating the potential of becoming a first class instructor he was promoted to the rank of MCpl and posted to CFSEME in the summer of 1985. During his stay at the school Bruno had the chance to familiarize himself on most of the eqpt owned by DND and the opportunity to work 6 months along with the US Marine Corps and teach them Battlefield Recovery and first line maintenance on their brand new LAV 25. After spending 6 years at the school, MWO Turcotte got a little closer to home when he was posted to 12 Rubber Boots Regiment in 1991.

  • RE-IMAGINING YUGOSLAVIA Learning and Living with Diverse Cultural Identities
    RE-IMAGINING YUGOSLAVIA Learning and Living with Diverse Cultural Identities by Radoslav Draskovic A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements For the degree of Master of Arts Graduate Department of Theory and Policy Studies in Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto ©Copyright by Radoslav Draskovic 2010. RE-IMAGINING YUGOSLAVIA Learning and Living with Diverse Cultural Identities Radoslav Draskovic Master of Arts, 2010 Department of Theory and Policy Studies in Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto Abstract of Thesis: This thesis uses the example of Yugoslavia-the land of the South Slavs (also known as the Balkans) - to study how the twists and turns of historical evolution have been reflected in communal understanding of that history. Key words: imagined communities, nation-state, historical memory, the study of history. ii Acknowledgments: The great Mahatma Gandhi once said: “Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it”. I found that this sentence appropriately describes every human endeavor including the road I have chosen for the last three years of my life. This thesis marks the conclusion of a deeply personal journey as well as a great learning experience that I had at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at University of Toronto At the end of this trip, before anyone else, I would like to thank my professors Harold Troper and David Levine who have taught me a great deal during the course of my studies, with their views, knowledge and advice. I am especially grateful to my mentor, Professor David Levine, for his intellectual guidance, patience and understanding of all the challenges that I met during the course of my study and while writing this thesis.
