    South Collegiate Alumni Association Fall 2020 Virtus Repulsae Nescia Sordidae A STORY GROWS WITH THE HELP OF A DUTCH CONNECTION by Connie (Woods) Weir (‘66) (Note: This article first appeared in the November issue of the Wortley Villager) It’s now more than three years since the SCAA published Knowing No Defeat, a memorial tribute to the 57 alumni who lost their lives in military service during World War II. Of the 300 copies printed, only a handful remain to be sold. As gratifying as this sales success is, the most rewarding result of our efforts has been in terms of the human responses, which we are still continuing to receive. On August 28th, I received an email fom Cathy Wood, Managing Editor of the Wortley Villager, after she saw a post on the Facebook Group “If You Grew Up In London, Ontario, You Will Remember When…”. This post, written by a young man in the Netherlands, Jesse Verkruyssen, began with “Hi Canadians! I have a question for you.” Having heard stories from his grandparents about how bad the war was, Jesse said he had “always wanted to somehow thank the men who fought for our freedom”, so decided to “adopt” two WW II war graves. One of the graves that Jesse assumed the care of belonged to Leonard Albert Stock, a 19-year-old Canadian soldier from London, who died in 1941 and was buried in Eindhoven Cemetery, near Woensel. Although he had access to Leonard’s war records, he had little information about Leonard’s family and wanted to learn more.

There are nations in development that are screaming for this country to lead the world in regard to conflict resolution, to respect human life, to take the lead in fact, in proclaiming that every human is (fully) human".

They are the proper subjects of a Canadian foreign policy that answers to our interests, and to our values as citizens of the world".

  • Description and Finding Aid GEORGE IGNATIEFF FONDS F2020
    Description and Finding Aid GEORGE IGNATIEFF FONDS F2020 Prepared by Lynn McIntyre April 2013 GEORGE IGNATIEFF FONDS Dates of creation: [191-?] - 1989 Extent: 9 m of textual records Approximately 770 photographs 5 scrapbooks 24 audiovisual records Biographical sketch: George Ignatieff, diplomat and administrator, was born into a Russian aristocratic family in St. Petersburg in 1913. He was the fifth and youngest son of Count Paul Ignatieff and Natalie Ignatieff (née Princess Mestchersky). After fleeing Russia during the Bolshevik Revolution, the family arrived in England in 1920. By the end of that decade they had relocated to Upper Melbourne, Quebec. George Ignatieff was educated at Lower Canada College, Montreal, and in Toronto at Central Technical School and Jarvis Collegiate. In 1936 he graduated with a BA in Political Science and Economics from Trinity College, and then went to Oxford on a Rhodes Scholarship, completing his MA in Slavic Studies in 1938. At Lester B. Pearson's suggestion, Ignatieff wrote the External Affairs examination in 1939 and began working at Canada House in London. He returned to the Department of External Affairs in Ottawa in 1944. His many postings included: Canadian Ambassador to Yugoslavia (1956-1958), Assistant Undersecretary of State for External Affairs (1960-1962), Permanent Representative to NATO in 1963, and Canadian Ambassador to the UN (1966-1969). In 1972, Ignatieff left the post of Permanent Representative of Canada to the European Office of the UN at Geneva (from 1970) to become ninth Provost and Vice-chancellor of Trinity College, a position he held until 1979. From 1980 to 1986 he was Chancellor of the University of Toronto.

  • The White Paper Impulse: Reviewing Foreign Policy Under Trudeau and Clark
    The White Paper Impulse: Reviewing Foreign Policy under Trudeau and Clark by Mary Halloran, John Hilliker and Greg Donaghy Historical Section, Foreign Affairs Canadai Three times in the span of 12 years, the foreign policy of the Canadian government was subjected to review by the Department of External Affairs. Although only the first of these efforts resulted in a white paper formally tabled as such in the House of Commons, subsequent reviews tended to follow the design of the first: a comprehensive examination of all aspects of the country’s foreign policy, led and coordinated by senior officials of External Affairs, drawing to varying degrees on expertise from other government departments and the private sector. In addition, the department undertook other studies, more limited in scope, of specific areas, including that of Canada’s relationship with the United States and its role in the United Nations. In all cases, the reviews were initiated with the aim of producing a document to serve as a guide to future policy, thus conforming to the usual definition of a white paper,ii but they varied considerably in their impact on policies actually implemented by the governments of the day. The purpose of this chapter is to analyse the foreign policy reviews undertaken between 1968 and 1980, in an effort to account for the seeming popularity of the white paper process among policy-makers in the period, and to assess its influence on the policies ultimately pursued. Foreign Policy for Canadians White papers generally reflect the particular context in which they are conceived, and Foreign Policy for Canadians, published in 1970, was no exception.

    real leaders volume 15 November 2005 ISBN #1-55382-153-X Senator Landon Pearson – the Senator for Children and the Children’s Senator – retires from her seat in the Senate in November 2005. This issue of ‘real leaders’ is dedicated to a woman whose life has been devoted to the task of advocating for children and youth. When Elizabeth Landon married “King” Carter in Virginia in the late 1600s, they established a family tradition of naming a baby girl in each succeeding generation Lucy Landon Carter. Most of these little girls grew up to be women of prin- ciple and action. Upon hearing about her Amer- ican ancestors from her mother, (now) Senator Lucy Landon Carter was inspired by their exam- ples of tenacity and purpose. As she prepares for her retirement from the Senate in November 2005, Senator Pearson is determined that her work on behalf of children will continue. Landon was the youngest of three child- ren and the only daughter born to Hugh and Alice Mackenzie in Toronto, Ontario, in 1930. Her Senator Landon Pearson mother was an artist and her father combined his work managing a brewery with an active interest in politics. He instilled a faith in his daughter’s Landon also learned about the limits soci- abilities which was complemented by her mother’s ety placed on females of her generation.
