  • Tsotoronto Symphony Orchestra
    Toronto 11.12 Symphony ANNUAL Orchestra REPORT tso Peter Oundjian, Music Director 11.12 90 th Season Big Number. Bold Season. From our Music Director Ninety is an interesting age for an orchestra. In the context of a lifetime, the TSO has had a relationship with several generations of Torontonians and guest artists. Within the context of the composers who inspire us and their repertoire which has truly stood the test of time, 90 is quite young. At 90, the Toronto Symphony Orchestra presented a landmark season of bold musical experiences which continue to connect, transcend, and enrich our community. We are a vibrant orchestra, fresh at 90, and powered by the traditions of greatness from which we draw our repertoire. Our commitment to creating art and refreshing our art form was reflected in the celebration of new music and composers throughout the 2011.2012 programme, in our New Creations Festival, and in welcoming 28 débuting artists during the 90th season. We are passionate about enriching our community through art and the power of music, as evidenced so clearly by the major 90th season Residencies featuring three of the greatest artists performing today. I am indebted to, and inspired by, the talented musicians of the TSO, who every day share their passion and commitment towards exceptional orchestral performances. I thank you, the audience, for your enthusiasm in these live concert experiences. Sincerely, Peter Oundjian MUSIC DIRECTOR 3 Chair’s Message The Toronto Symphony Orchestra’s 90th season was an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of the organization and to present an extraordinary season of stellar guest artists, remarkable artistic programming, and special celebrations, including our major fundraising event, Celebrate 90 , which was a landmark for the organization.

The Army used a wide range of tools to monitor morale on medical lines. A basic function of Canadian medical officers was to keep units and formations up to strength, not only by attending to their basic health, but also by scrutinizing ailments under suspicion of malingering.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Osgoode Hall Law Journal by an authorized editor of Osgoode Digital Commons. The Governance of Military Police in Canada Abstract The iM litary Police is a special federal police force in Canada with unique authority, designed to support military commanders both in operations and in garrison. However, it has historically been under the command of non-Military Police officers, and is consequently not governed like other police forces in Canada. Part of this arrangement can be explained by its special military duties, but much of it is the result of a tradition that is at odds with current societal norms. It is the position of the author that differences in norms between the Military Police and other Canadian police forces can only be justified by bona fide military requirements. This article proposes pragmatic changes that would see the Canadian Forces Provost Marshal, who is the senior Military Police officer of the Canadian Forces, command all Military Police. Their duties and functions, however, would be guided by a newly established Military Police Services Board.

  • Background Story
    I firmly believe that a story in our Newsletter can, may, sometimes must, be based on current events. The dramatic shooting incident in Nova Scotia is such a topical fact. Without ignoring the sadness of other victims and ignoring the grief of their relatives, the death of a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police hit several people in the Netherlands extra. Among them many Comrades from RCL Branch 005. Heidi Stevenson attended the Liberation parade in Apeldoorn in 2000. A striking appearance in the characteristic uniform of the RCMP, namely the only female representative of the corps at the time. (Click on photo for video of RCMP tribute) Apeldoorn, 2000 Constable Heidi Stevenson, married, two children, served in the Corps for 23 years. She previously worked as a school liaison officer. Former colleagues shared a photograph of her crossing a street with a group of smiling children. On Sunday, April 19, 2020, she answered the call for duty in connection with a shooting incident. Loyal until death appears is an expression that is sometimes used too easily. It happened to Heidi Stevenson. May she rest in peace. Foto: RCMP Nova Scotia/Reuters The duty of a member of the RCMP made me curious. A little more information about the corps seemed desirable to me. Also, in the period, now more than 75 years ago; the years of World War II. Very little mentioned but interesting enough for some research. Finally, images from those days showed soldiers who we called "military police". In this English version of our Newsletter I do not have to explain what RCMP stands for nor mention its tasks.

Abstract This dissertation examines Canada’s program to employ prisoners of war (POWs) in Canada during the Second World War as a means of understanding how labour projects and the communities and natural environment in which they occurred shaped the POWs’ wartime experiences. The use of POW labourers, including civilian internees, enemy merchant seamen, and combatant prisoners, occurred in response to a nationwide labour shortage. Between May 1943 and November 1946, there were almost 300 small, isolated labour projects across the country employing, at its peak, over 14,000 POWs. Most prisoners were employed in either logging or agriculture, work that not only provided them with relative freedom, but offered prisoners unprecedented contact with Canada and its people.
