We are inspired by the bravery of our soldiers at Normandy and moved by the words of John McCrae’s "In Flanders Fields." We are amazed at the vision of Louis-Joseph Papineau and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. We are enchanted by the paintings of Emily Carr and the writings of Lucy Maud Montgomery. We look back in awe at the wisdom of Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George-Étienne Cartier. We are moved to tears of joy by the humour of Stephen Leacock and tears of gratitude for the courage of Tecumseh. We hold in high regard the determination of Emily Murphy and Rev. Josiah Henson to overcome obstacles which stood in the way of their dreams. We give thanks for the work of the Victorian Order of Nurses and those who organ- ized the Underground Railroad. We think of those who suffered and died at Grosse Île in the dream of reaching a new home.

Located in the southeastern and eastern quadrant of Lake Ontario, this area and its tributaries provided food and transportation trade routes for indigenous peoples and early European explorers, such as Samuel de Champlain. During the colonial period, it was a strategic theater of conflict among European powers and the young American republic. Military actions involving naval and land forces occurred at Sodus, Oswego, Big Sandy Creek, and Sackets Harbor during the French and Indian War, Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. These actions involved historic figures such as the Marquis de Montcalm, Sir William Johnson, Commodore Isaac Chauncey and Sir James Yeo.

  • OFFICIAL PROCEEDINGS, Volume XV
    Scientific Session Awards Abstracts presented at the Society’s annual meeting will be considered for the following awards: • The George Peters Award recognizes the best presentation by a breast fellow. In addition to a plaque, the winner receives $1,000. The winner is selected by the Society’s Publications Committee. The award was established in 2004 by the Society to honor Dr. George N. Peters, who was instrumental in bringing together the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, The American Society of Breast Surgeons, the American Society of Breast Disease, and the Society of Surgical Oncology to develop educational objectives for breast fellowships. The educational objectives were first used to award Komen Interdisciplinary Breast Fellowships. Subsequently the curriculum was used for the breast fellowship credentialing process that has led to the development of a nationwide matching program for breast fellowships. • The Scientific Presentation Award recognizes an outstanding presentation by a resident or fellow. The winner of this award is also determined by the Publications Committee. In addition to a plaque, the winner receives $500. • All presenters are eligible for the Scientific Impact Award. The recipient of the award, selected by audience vote, is honored with a plaque. All awards are supported by The American Society of Breast Surgeons Foundation. i This supplement was not sponsored by outside commercial interests.

On the lawn were assembled naval veterans, their guests and a color party with flags fluttering. It was 11:00 a.m., the traditional hour of remembrance. As a retired naval commander, I was the master of ceremonies for the annual USS Hamilton and Scourge Memorial Service. Suddenly the pulsating roar of powerful aircraft engines overwhelmed the scene as Hamilton's Warplane Heritage Lancaster made a low pass directly overhead providing a coincidental memorial salute to the navy's role in the preservation of our country on this, the year of our 150th Anniversary of Confederation. The city's Naval Memorial Garden in Confederation Park honours the 53 American sailors lost in the sinking of the two schooners and is a symbol of the shared respect between Canada and the United States. But this year the memorial service was held at Dundurn Castle to recognize the outstanding display of Hamilton & Ship's commander instructing a midshipman 1813 Painting by G.A.
