Wartime Training at Canadian Universities during the Second World War Anne Millar Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctorate of Philosophy degree in history Department of History Faculty of Arts University of Ottawa © Anne Millar, Ottawa, Canada, 2015 ii Abstract This dissertation provides an account of the contributions of Canadian universities to the Second World War. It examines the deliberations and negotiations of university, government, and military officials on how best to utilize and direct the resources of Canadian institutions of higher learning towards the prosecution of the war and postwar reconstruction. During the Second World War, university leaders worked with the Dominion Government and high-ranking military officials to establish comprehensive training programs on campuses across the country. These programs were designed to produce service personnel, provide skilled labour for essential war and civilian industries, impart specialized and technical knowledge to enlisted service members, and educate returning veterans. University administrators actively participated in the formation and expansion of these training initiatives and lobbied the government for adequate funding to ensure the success of their efforts. This study shows that university heads, deans, and prominent faculty members eagerly collaborated with both the government and the military to ensure that their institutions’ material and human resources were best directed in support of the war effort and that, in contrast to the First World War, skilled graduates would not be heedlessly wasted. At the center of these negotiations was the National Conference of Canadian Universities, a body consisting of heads of universities and colleges from across the country. -

I DOI: https://doi.org/10.7202/009279ar argue that cultural identity is a tool for an Inuk to live with his fellow Inuit in daily life and that ethnic identity is a political tool especially for both urban and arctic Inuit to deal with others in multi-ethnic situations.

Though He Was Born in Montreal on October 30, 1878, and Spent Much of His Life There, Lewis Terrill's Roots Were in the Eastern
OBITUARIES LEWIS MclvER TERreLL, a Member of the A.O.U. since 1907 and an Elective Member since 1947, died at his home in Ulverton, Richmond County, Quebec, on December 22, 1968, in his 91st year. Though he was born in Montreal on October 30, 1878, and spent much of his life there, Lewis Terrill's roots were in the eastern townshipsof Quebec where he ended his days. He was interestedin nature from boyhood,but at that time there was little to encouragea young man in Canada to make a career in biology, and indeed not much opportunity to obtain instruction in natural history. He was naturally drawn to the one man in Montreal who was outstanding in this field, Sir William Dawson, principal of McGill University. Sir William encouragedhis early interest in geology and lent him various books on natural history. While birds subsequentlybecame Mr. Terrill's primary concern, he developed also a lively interest in botany; indeed he could be described as an all-round naturalist. There was no money in natural history• and Lewis had to make a living. A variety of occupationstook him to many parts of the province, extending his knowledge of its various regions. In 1920 he joined the staff of the Merchant's Bank in Montreal. This was merged with the Bank of Montreal in 1922, and he continued in the service of that bank until 1942, when he was retired on pension. Canada was then at war, and it was no time for a man of ability to retire. He joined the staff of British MetMs Corporation and did not retire finally until 1950. -

The Quartier international de Montréal (QIM) is held by many as one of the finest examples of urban design in Canada. The main purpose of the project was to restore the continuity of Montreal's downtown, broken by the gaping trench of the Ville-Marie Expressway since the 1960s, and thus to bridge the historic Old Montreal district the existing downtown business district centred around Place Ville-Marie. Other goals included the beautification of the built environment, creation of elegant city squares, showcase of Quebec design and public art, and stimulation of world-class real estate development at the heart of Montreal. The two major north-south underground pedestrian pathways were connected by the missing link put in place beneath the CDP Capital Centre and Place Jean-Paul Riopelle. Nearly 1.3 kilometers of underground corridors, animated by public art, were created and tripled access to the subway. The goal of the presentation is to present an approach to developing Air Rights above an underground (trench) expressway in a downtown area in consideration with urban design aspects, building design constraints, technical, legal and economic aspects. This session will examine the results of this significant original project, the ongoing vision for this major part of the city, and what future development activity is likely to take place. -

MISSION REISA, a community organization, works to increase access to health and social services in English for residents of Montreal’s East end, through collaboration with public, private and community stakeholders. PROFILE According to a study by the Community Health and Social Services Network (CHSSN) and Pocock (2014), English-speaking communities in the East end of the island represent a significant 14,8% of the area’s population. However, it is common that the needs of these communities are overlooked. REISA seeks to promote the English language as a communication tool and not as the language of work, in areas where minority groups are more comfortable receiving services in English than in French. -
