A true scholar and gentleman! (and father of a wonderful historian, Nicole)

[U15 Canada @U15ca]

All Canadians should be proud of the global impact of Canada's leading research universities.

By focusing on excellence, Canada has established a research ecosystem which develops talent, drives innovation and delivers impact across the country. Leading research universities are central to the value this brings to all Canadians.
