Historian and #WesternU postdoctoral researcher Eric Story unveiled the story of two Canadian war amputees who trekked 2,000 km in 1923, helping to spark the disability-rights movement in Canada. #RemembranceDay news.westernu.ca/2025/11/war…
Each year, we come together to honour all who have served our country in times of war, conflict, and peace. #WesternU has been associated with Canada's armed forces throughout our shared history, and many of our members serve in the Canadian Armed Forces. #LestWeForget #LdnOnt
Remembrance Day was established after the First World War to honour those who died in service. In 1993, the Manitoba government recognized Nov 8 as Aboriginal Veterans Day - now observed as Indigenous Veterans Day - to honour First Nations, Métis & Inuit veterans.
As we reflect on the sacrifice of all veterans, we wear a poppy in remembrance. Please consider supporting your local Canadian Legion’s online Poppy Campaign.
King's and Huron are also hosting ceremonies - details: uwo.ca/remembrance-day.html
Honoured to see Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield share #WesternU research by Gordon Osinski (@drcrater) and his international collaborators that shows how quickly life can form after a meteorite impact.
When asteroids slam into Earth they create a warm, wet local environment. These 3 guys dug through 78-million-year-old core samples to show how quickly life moves into the hellscape, to understand Earth history.
Great scientific cooperation between Canada and Sweden. news.westernu.ca/2025/09/lif… @WesternU @linneuni
