  • The Scots of Beechwood Tour

    The Scots of Beechwood Tour

    The Scots of Beechwood The Scots have immigrated to Canada in steady and substantial numbers for over 200 years, with the connection between Scotland and Canada stretching farther — to the 17th century. Scots have been involved in every aspect of Canada's development as explorers, educators, businessmen, politicians, writers and artists. The Scots are among the first Europeans to establish themselves in Canada and are the third largest ethnic group in the country. With a history and heritage this long, it was only natural that the Scots of Ottawa found a home at Beechwood Cemetery. 1. TOMMY DOUGLAS - Section 64, Graves 285, 286 Born on October 20, 1904 in Falkirk, Scotland. In the fall of 1928, Tommy became a minister at Calvary Baptist Church in Weyburn, Saskatchewan. He felt first hand the harshness of the Depression in the prairies. Douglas knew that something had to be done for the common man. His experience with the vast unemployment and poverty transformed T.C. Douglas, the clergyman, into a social activist. By 1932, Douglas helped organize an Independent Labour Party in Weyburn of which he became president. The movement soon evolved into the Farmer Labour Party. This party offered hospital care for everyone on an equal basis, including unemployment insurance and universal pension. By July of 1932, the labour parties of the four western provinces formed an alliance under the name Cooperative Commonwealth Federation (CCF). The CCF became Canada’s first national socialist party. In 1935, Douglas was elected into parliament under the CCF. By the early 40’s, Tommy moved away from the federal politics and became leader of the Saskatchewan provincial CCF party (1942) while maintaining his seat in the House of Commons.

    Rory Underwood's

    Rugby legend and ex-RAF pilot Rory Underwood’s top tips on how to get your civilian career off to a flying start By Laura Joint for Equipped Magazine England’s record try scorer Rory Underwood MBE is a perfect example of how it’s possible to achieve success at the highest level in completely different environments. The former Leicester, Bedford, England and British & Irish Lions winger was an RAF pilot throughout his rugby years and successfully adapted his skills – such as teamwork and decision-making – so that they were equally effective whether on a rugby field or in an RAF jet. Rory has now transferred his skills to business, as boss of his performance consultancy firm, Wingman, based in Grantham. So he’s well placed when it comes to offering guidance on how to use and build your skillset, whatever the arena. The arena most of us associate Rory with, of course, is Twickenham. His 85 England caps spanned 12 years from 1984-1996. His debut, as a 20-year-old against Ireland, came only a year after his first game for Leicester – a club he was to play for until 1997. His international career also included all six British & Irish Lions Tests in the two tours to Australia and New Zealand in 1989 and 1993. In his 85 appearances for England he scored 49 tries – an England record that’s unlikely to be broken soon, if ever: “I can’t see it being broken in the near future,” Rory told Equipped. “There’s nobody currently playing who is anywhere near even second place in the list (Will Greenwood and Ben Cohen share second spot with 31 tries).

    INSTITUTE FOR QUANTUM COMPUTING FINAL REPORT for 2014 - 2017 ANNUAL REPORT for APRIL 1, 2016 – MARCH 31, 2017 Report for University of Waterloo Board of Governors approval TO BE SUBMITTED TO: THE MINISTRY OF INNOVATION, SCIENCE AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT JULY 30, 2017 FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Over the past 15 years, I have had the privilege to have a front row seat to the creation of a Canadian success story. The growth and impact of the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) displays the power of incredible vision, sustained commitment and collective efforts to build something truly unique right here in Canada. Thanks in large part to the continued support of the Government of Canada, IQC now stands among the top research institutes globally. Beyond research discoveries, the past year has brought new people, new space and new opportunities to IQC. I am delighted that our Institute continues to grow with 50 new graduate students, twelve new postdoctoral fellows and three new faculty joining this past year. We welcomed new faculty members K. Rajibil Islam from MIT’s Center for Ultracold Atoms, Crystal Senko from Harvard University and Jon Yard from Microsoft Research. Major renovations meant an increase of over 2,000 square feet in lab space this year alone, with plans for continued lab expansion. IQC faculty member David Cory leads the largest research grant in the University of Waterloo’s history - $76.3 million from the Canada First Research Excellence Fund for the Transformative Quantum Technologies initiative, which will focus on commercializing quantum devices and technologies. This year also marked the launch of the first-ever travelling exhibition on quantum information science and technologies.
