Holocaust memorial plaque that omitted Jews to be replaced (JTA) – The plaque marking the opening of the National Holocaust Monument will be replaced after the original failed to mention that Jews were the majori- ty of the victims. Heritage Minister Melanie Joly told the House of Commons on October 5 that the plaque will be replaced, and also reiterated that the monument com- memorates the six million Jews and five million others killed by the Nazis and their supporters during the Holocaust. “On the day the monument was unveiled, we noticed that the panel at the entrance conspicuously and curiously did not mention Jews,” Martin Samp- son, director of communications for the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, said in a statement. “We raised our concerns with the government. They were very responsive, acknowledged the error and agreed to correct it immediately.” For more, see From the Editor by Michael Regenstreif on page 7.

  • May 31, 2019 Dear: Mr. Mark Goudie, Chief Executive Officer, Ottawa
    May 31, 2019 Dear: Mr. Mark Goudie, Chief Executive Officer, Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group (OSEG) Dr. Benoit-Antoine Bacon, President, Carleton University Mme Suzanne Blanchard, Vice-President, Students and Enrollment, Carleton University Re : Panda Game 2019 As Chair of the Sandy Hill Town and Gown committee, and as President of Sandy Hill’s community association, we are writing to ask for your participation in a measure to mitigate the highly negative effects of the Carleton Ravens vs. Ottawa GeeGees Panda Game. In recent years, due in part to its early Saturday afternoon kick-off time, the Panda Game has drawn huge crowds from both universities, as well as from outside the Ottawa university communities. The behaviour has been wholly unacceptable, and has included property damage, harassment of residents, trespassing, urinating on private property etc. The Sandy Hill community finds itself requiring additional measures be put in place to mitigate the disruptive behaviour associated with Panda Game pre and post celebrations. With a large, concentrated of student population, residents of Sandy Hill are faced with significant challenges during these Panda Game celebrations. As Ottawa’s Sport Commissioner, I recognize how important the Panda Game is for Carleton University, for the University of Ottawa, for OSEG, and for alumni and students in Ottawa. However, as the Councillor for Ward 12, I need to alert you to the costly measures that the City of Ottawa and the Ottawa Police have been forced to shoulder to mitigate this event in Sandy Hill. A study by the City’s Special Events Advisory Team of the causes of the safety and damages suffered by the residents pointed to a number of causes.

  • President's Annual Report to the Carleton University Board Of
    President’s Annual Report to the Carleton University Board of Governors 2016-2017 The goals on which we agreed for this year included maintaining current enrolment, while adjusting for formula changes, achieving strategic plan goals, balancing the budget, ensuring the success of the 75th anniversary celebrations, and continuing to achieve the fundraising campaign goals. Enrolment goals were achieved. Strategic plan goals were met or surpassed in nearly every case. There remains, of course, some work for next year, the final year of the plan (Ours the Task Eternal!). The budget was balanced. The 75th anniversary is off to an excellent start and activities are well planned for the rest of the year. Fundraising has had the best year in history. This is the result of an extraordinary team with whom it has been a great privilege to work. A notable event was the naming of Richcraft Hall in recognition of a gift from the Singhal family. Another was the gift by the Ottawa Senators Foundation and Bell Let’s Talk to the Daniel Alfredsson Scholarship in Mental Health. The generosity of alumni, the campus community, and our friends around the world was heartwarming. Alumni in Jakarta and Hong Kong proudly remembered their days here and lent their support to the next generation of Carleton scholars. While the Strategic Plan goals were more than achieved in nearly every category, retention and graduation rates improved only slightly. We will continue to work on improving them in the coming year. An analysis, using data analytics, of areas on which we plan to concentrate in the coming year to improve results was presented to the Board of Governors this year.

  • The Northern 8 Series INTRODUCTION
    The Northern 8 series INTRODUCTION Inter-conference play has been part of Canadian university football for nearly eight decades. In the 1940’s teams from Eastern Canada toured the West, with the established teams from Central Canada winning by lopsided scores. In the late fifties and early sixties teams from Central Canada and the West made the first efforts toward a truly national championship. Early Churchill Bowls featured inter-conference exhibitions. During this time, Atlantic teams had their invitations accepted from teams in Central Canada. In 1959, the Churchill Bowl was billed as “the first Dominion championship” featuring the UBC Thunderbirds and the Western Ontario Mustangs. In 1963, the Alberta Golden Bears hosted the Queen’s Golden Gaels in the “Golden Bowl” for the Lieutenant- Governor’s Trophy. The cancellation of a scheduled invitational national championship in 1964 gave way to the creation of the Vanier Cup in 1965. In the modern era of the game there have been numerous examples of interlocking and inter-conference play. Teams have played in two conferences in the same season. The OQIFC played partial interlocks in the 1970’s. Since 2002, the RSEQ has played an interlocking schedule with the AUS. Laval hosts a team from the Canada West or OUA every year as an exhibition. In all of those cases, there has been nothing more than a local marketing push surrounding these games. Television and its’ potential reach have never been factored into a national brand during the regular season. 2014 was the first year since the 1950’s that Ontario university football was not covered on a weekly basis TV either regionally or nationally.
