Salutations d’Ottawa! 오타와에서 인사드립니다! Throughout the month of May, there were events celebrating the accomplishments of Asian Canadians throughout Canadian history, as well as special events that brought people together to share stories, discuss relevant topics, network and be inspired. It was also a time to reflect on the pioneering Asian Canadians across our country who paved the way for others to pursue their dreams and reach their potential. Congratulations to my dedicated staff Grace Seear, Kristin Doyle and Grace Lee for becoming honorary members of KVA Unit 7 in the presence of our beloved veterans. It was also an honour for me to be named an Honorary ROTCian at the 2019 ROTC North America Conference in Calgary, AB. In the Senate of Canada, we had a very busy legislative schedule in May, and anticipate longer sittings in June as the end of this current Parliament comes to a close and we rise for the summer and the fall election that awaits us all. As always, my staff and I thank you for your continued support and look forward to serving you to the best of our abilities. - Senator Yonah Martin ASIAN HERITAGE MONTH Ottawa, ON On May 10th, Senator Martin co-hosted the Voices in Action Breakfast with the Ottawa Asian Heritage Month Society and the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board.

  • “Stornoway” Or the “Company”)
    Form 51-102F1 Interim Management Discussion and Analysis1 For Stornoway Diamond Corporation (“Stornoway” or the “Company”) Containing Information up to and including December 10, 2012 OVERALL PERFORMANCE Stornoway is a leading Canadian diamond exploration and development company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange. Stornoway is engaged in the exploration and development of diamond projects in Canada, with a highly prospective pipeline of projects from feasibility stage to grass roots exploration. Stornoway’s principal focus is its 100% owned Renard Diamond Project located in north-central Québec, a feasibility-stage project with the potential to become Québec’s first diamond mine. Four additional projects in eastern Nunavut and on the Ontario/Québec border are classified as being at an “advanced” stage, and Stornoway is also engaged in exploration at several early stage grass roots projects throughout Canada in geologically prospective, underexplored regions. Stornoway’s strategy is to build a growth oriented company that succeeds in the practical business of mining and selling rough diamonds. Stornoway’s long term view of the rough diamond market is positive, with tightening mine supply and growing demand, particularly in developing markets, resulting in real, long term price growth. In this context, Stornoway is well positioned to move Renard towards commercial production, and to add diamond resources from existing internal growth projects or acquisitions as new opportunities are identified. In addition, the Company has a management

    122 Papers of the Bibliographical Society of Canada 47/1 certain books? Determining provenance can tell us much about such things. One of the most important lessons materializes as one reads about the shift from private to public libraries: university and state libraries not only acquire and disseminate knowledge but also preserve it. This is a too-often forgotten function of the library. This volume of essays reminds us of it, and of the prestige and attraction to future scholars that even a simple collection will grow to have. Books on the Move is not an easy read. Although archivists and bibliographers will appreciate the intricately researched articles, the detail at times is overwhelming and the larger point sometimes difficult to ascertain. But for the specialist audience with a firm grasp of the terminology, these essays will not fail to please, assembling as they do cutting-edge discoveries from a recent conference. The proceedings of the Annual Conference on Book Trade History have been published since 1981 by Harris and Myers, joined by Mandelbrote in 2000. The books are co-published by Oak Knoll Press and the British Library, and those interested in more information on provenance history should consult the publishers’ web sites. Books on the Move is an important volume for those wishing to learn more about the history of books and the study of provenance. PATTI HARPER Carleton University Library Ruth Clayton Windscheffel. Reading Gladstone. New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2008. 330 pp.; US $69.95 ISBN 9780230007659 Reading Gladstone raises interesting questions about books, intel- lectuals, politics and power.

Operational from 1940 to 1944, the Home Guard had 1.5 million local volunteers otherwise ineligible for military service, such as those who were too young or too old to join the regular armed services (regular military service was restricted to those aged 18 to 41) or those in reserved occupations. Excluding those already in the armed services, the civilian police or civil defence, approximately one in five men were volunteers. Their role was to act as a secondary defence force in case of invasion by the forces of Nazi Germany and other Axis powers.[1][2] Home Guard post at Admiralty Arch in central The Home Guard were to try to slow down the advance London, 21 June 1940. of the enemy even by a few hours to give the regular troops time to regroup.

  • From the Outer Hebrides to the Eastern Townships of Canada in the Nineteenth Century
    Margaret Bennett 143 FROM THE OUTER HEBRIDES TO THE EASTERN TOWNSHIPS OF CANADA IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY Professor Margaret Bennett, Honorary Research Fellow University of St Andrews, Scotland Abstract The Potato Famine of 1846–56 severely affected the West Highlands and Is- lands of Scotland, forcing mass emigration to the New World. Those who settled in Quebec kept alive memories about the homeland, the Atlantic cross- ing, the allocation of land in the Eastern Townships, company houses, pio- neer homesteading, optimism, faith, and community spirit. Only newspapers and official records document the famine, while fireside stories handed down through generations tell of faith, hope, loyalty, honesty, neighbourliness and hard work. Today, Scotland’s “Old Alliance” with France is reflected in a new relationship reviving interest and kinship on both sides of the Atlantic. Résumé La Grande Famine de 1846–1856 a durement affecté les Highlands de l’Ouest et les iles d’Écosse, menant à une émigration forcée vers le Nouveau Monde. Ceux qui se sont installés au Québec ont gardé vivantes les mémoires de la mère-patrie, de la traversée de l’Atlantique, de l’allocation de terres dans les Cantons-de-l’Est, des maisons fournies par les employeurs, de l’installation sur les terres en concession, de l’optimisme, de la foi, et de l’esprit communautaire. Seuls les journaux et les documents officiels racontent la famine alors que les récits au coin du feu transmis de générations en générations parlent de foi, d’espoir, de loyauté, d’honnêteté, d’entraide entre voisins et de durs labeurs.
