We recently received word that 9620 Michel Thibodeau (CMR ) passed away on February 5th 2008.

We have no other details at this time

Who am I? I came from a politically connected family. My father was a judge
of the Canadian Supreme Court to 1910, after which he was appointed
Deputy Governor General of Canada.

• I graduated with a diploma in engineering at the age of nineteen
from the Royal Military College, Kingston, Ontario.
• I worked as a surveyor for the Canadian Pacific Railway between
1886 and 1888

• My father disapproved when I received a commission in the British
Royal Engineers in 1888, so my aunt paid the 100 [pounds sterling]
required for a uniform and the voyage to Britain.

• As 2nd Lieutenant, Royal Engineers, I lectured at the Royal United
Service Institution on 24 April 1891 on the topic: “The Use of
Railways for Coast and Harbour Defence.”

• I was in charge of the Sudan railways 1896-98.

• As governor of the East Africa Protectorate (EAP) 1909-1912, as
Kenya was known before 1920, I received mixed reviews. Although I
balanced the budget, engineered economic development, and addressed
railway problems in Nigeria and Kenya, I was forced to resign over my
failure to protect the Maasai land rights.

• During the war, I worked in munitions procurement and railway
organization in Belgium.

• I was a director of the armaments firm Armstrong Whitworth 1913-32. Read the rest of this entry »

“This is a very important exercise,” says Colonel Dean Milner, Commander of 2 CMBG, “This is a huge logistical challenge for the brigade to get down to Texas, and it will be challenging training for all the soldiers who will be a part of the exercise.”

“The unit will stay focussed on supporting the Provincial Governor and District Leaders as they establish governance and enable the implementation of development,”

Dynasty in the making!

By: WJO

Over the past few years the varsity fencers have become RMC’s paragon of athletic excellence, seldom imitated, never equaled.

The Fencing teams, Men & Women, reincarnated about five years ago with the arrival of the head coach, Patricia Howes have produced results unseen or unheard of at RMC for over 40 years.

Since her arrival Patricia has always built her teams so student-athletes can come and go but they’re all replaceable. With RMC fencers, it’s the attitude. They are expected to give it their best in all four pillars of the college and there’s no other alternative. Even the I Year cadets see that, they feel that, in and around the college. There’s a higher level of commitment than most other sports.

Coach Howes has created an atmosphere of winning and has gained the confidence of her athletes. RMC are indeed fortunate to have her on staff.

Most readers will be able to relate to the saying, “a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing”. Well, I certainly can relate to it. In fact, I’m living proof! Over the past few weeks, I have been “keen” to learn more of the technical aspects of publishing e-Veritas. Things like, the layout of articles & photos, writing & managing all the details. Well, I was pretty proud of myself when we went “live” last week. The text, photos etc, if I may say so – didn’t look too bad and I actually did most of it myself. Gosh, I even managed to get most of the 7,000 plus e-mails addresses sent out without a glitch.

Things were looking good. Read the rest of this entry »

23785 Matt McLeod (RMC ’07 & current PG student) and E5917 Dan Plant (II Year) have earned themselves a spot on the Canadian National University 7′s team for this summer World Championships in Cordoba Spain.

McLeod and Plant both participated in a training camp that brought some of the best University talent from coast to coast together in San Diego which culminated with the San Diego Invitational 7′s Tournament.

Sean McDonaugh, RMC men’s rugby coach, and 2007 Ontario University Athletics (OUA) East Coach of the Year is a member of the coaching staff and will also be making the trek to Spain.

Canada entered two teams in the tournament with Canada East coming away the victor. They posted an impressive 6-0 record and outscored its opposition 241-48. From all reports both RMC players figured significantly in the one-sided victories.

The Canadian team will next get together in June for a training camp at RMC. Read the rest of this entry »
