While she has witnessed monumental change at Wilfrid Laurier University since first arriving on campus as a first-year student in 1964 Chancellor Eileen Mercier (Hons BA ’68 LLD ’13) says what has remained consistent is more noteworthy “The things that have changed are much less important than the things that have stayed the same,” says Mercier will complete her second four-year term on June 30 participated in 148 convocation ceremonies and welcomed 34 honorary degree recipients into the Laurier community Her service as chancellor adds to a long list of contributions including serving as chair and a member of the university’s Board of Governors philanthropist and proud longtime member of the WLU Alumni Choir “There hasn’t been any part of being chancellor that wasn’t great except for the in-person convocations we missed during the pandemic,” says Mercier “This is a fun job and you are there for significant moments of achievement It has truly been a rewarding experience.” Chancellor Eileen Mercier greets graduates in One Market following a convocation ceremony on Laurier’s Brantford campus Mercier possesses five decades of business leadership experience and is among the first women in Canada to build a career in corporate governance In addition to serving as Laurier’s chancellor she is the former chair of the board of directors of Payments Canada served as chair of the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan board and held positions as president of Finvoy Management Inc and senior vice-president and chief financial officer of Abitibi-Price Inc She was named one of Canada’s 25 Women of Influence in 2011 inducted into the Women’s Executive Network Hall of Fame in 2018 and has four times been named one of Canada’s 100 Most Powerful Women in the Accenture corporate directors category While she later earned a Master of Arts in English from the University of Alberta and an MBA from York University Mercier credits her time at Laurier – known as Waterloo Lutheran University when she attended – for laying the foundation for her career success “I later earned my MBA and received some valuable knowledge from that,” she says “But the way I do things and how I go about solving problems came straight out of my four years at Laurier.” Chancellor Eileen Mercier addresses convocation at Laurier’s Brantford campus Mercier is one of the most recognizable members of the Laurier community She notes that her long relationship with the institution began for very practical reasons “It started out because my parents couldn’t afford to send me to university even though they desperately wanted me to go,” she says “The only institution that offered me enough money to survive on was what was then Waterloo Lutheran There would have been nothing for me without it.” Mercier worked hard to maintain an 80 per cent average the threshold to become an Ontario Scholar which helped open doors to her academic future she worked during the summer and served as a residence don during the academic year “I had a wonderful time,” recalls Mercier “I was able to work hard and also have all the fun I wanted I was in the choir and a part of the student government I did what I wanted and had lots of friends I still have reunions with today.” Mercier credits the guidance and example of strong women during her time as an undergraduate student who served as head of the university's English department and helped Mercier secure a summer school placement in England following her third year “When there was really no concept of female role model of any kind Flora Roy was huge for me,” says Mercier The other two outstanding women were Esther Brandon who was the ‘Dean of Women’ in those days there were ‘role models’ at the university before that phrase was ever really invented They were the kind of people who implicitly told you that you could do anything if you worked hard.” as part of the 1967-1968 WLU student council Fifteen years after she graduated from Laurier Mercier first returned to the university in a volunteer capacity as a fundraiser for the John Aird Centre project during the mid-1980s She was asked by a senior executive at Gulf Canada about two seconds to run through the personnel files and find the people who could help do the work,” recalls Mercier “So that’s how I got back to Laurier The university later asked me to join the board and everything else unfolded from there.” Mercier has dedicated countless hours to Laurier receiving accolades including the Wilfrid Laurier University Outstanding Business Leader Award in 1991 being named one of Laurier’s 100 Alumni of Achievement in 2011 and receiving the Laurier Society Philanthropy Award in 2023 But perhaps the biggest honour she has received from Laurier came in 2016 when Mercier received a phone call from then university president Max Blouw who wanted to discuss Laurier’s next chancellor “Max called and I thought he was calling me to ask for names to ask me who I thought should become chancellor,” says Mercier “I was very surprised to find out it was me he was interested in I don’t know there is any honour the university could give you that’s bigger than that Donors and dignitaries cut the ribbon to officially open Laurier’s new Savvas Chamberlain Music Building in June 2024 Mercier said her final convocation ceremonies as chancellor in June were an emotional time But it was during the ribbon cutting to officially open Laurier’s new Savvas Chamberlain Music Building a week prior to convocation she experienced an especially emotional moment recalling the memory of late Faculty of Music Dean Glen Carruthers who envisioned and championed the Faculty of Music renovation before his death in 2020 “The building looks very much the way Glen envisioned it,” says Mercier “The atrium and the practice rooms are virtually identical to what he saw in his mind It really is a credit to current Dean Cynthia Johnston Turner that she was able to look ahead and then go out and enact both her and Glen’s vision.” Music is a subject close to Mercier’s heart she generously gifted $1.4 million to establish The Eileen Mercier Professorship in Voice and Choral Music Education an endowed professorship within the Faculty of Music The gift will serve to attract and retain a faculty member who will inspire students studying Voice and Choral Music and engage in creative scholarship.  “Music has become more important to me over the years,” she says “Partly because of seeing how difficult it can be to get money for music.” Mercier also previously created the Eileen Mercier Arts Scholarship She was also a major supporter of the Making Space for Music campaign to renovate Laurier’s Faculty of Music and takes pride in the scholarships supported by the WLU Alumni Choir including the WLU Alumni Choir Voice Performance Scholarship “Chancellor Mercier’s contributions to Laurier are more than exemplary,” says President and Vice-Chancellor Deborah MacLatchy philanthropist and volunteer have served to make Laurier a stronger community and enriched the lives of our students We are grateful not only for her service as chancellor but also for the many other ways she gives back to the university.” Chancellor Eileen Mercier addresses convocation at Laurier’s Waterloo campus After serving as chancellor for eight years she says she hopes to maintain a strong connection with the Laurier community “People ask me what I’m going to do now,” she says “I have no idea and I’m going to have to give that a lot of thought Serving as chancellor has occupied a place in my thoughts and feelings for such a very long time.” Mercier is looking forward to the launch of Laurier’s new Milton campus growth at the university’s Brantford campus and continued success in Waterloo and Kitchener the university will maintain the sense of community she first encountered arriving on campus in 1964 “The place where you grew up is the place where your heart is – there’s no question about that,” says Mercier the university was tiny and everybody knew everybody What I’ve been amazed at is that successive presidents have been able to preserve that feeling even though the place is 10 times bigger now It has remained a mid-sized university with a small feel – and a very special place.” Game Recap: Women's Hockey | 1/31/2025 8:42:00 PM | Dinos

Department of Ocean Sciences’ Dr. Annie Mercier and her team of students and post-doctoral fellows developed new learning opportunities and are conducting fieldwork in Nunavut in collaboration with

her work with the IUCN Species Survival Commission, she attended the fifth Leaders Meeting last fall. She was also invited to lead the publication of Revered and Reviled: The Plight of the Vanishing Sea Cucumbers last month in Annual Reviews of Marine Science The paper not only underscores the critical role that sea cucumbers play in marine ecosystems it explores bottlenecks management and conservation efforts face worldwide While calling for urgent action to address the main threats to sea cucumbers the paper also notes the strong governance including leadership and guidance from Indigenous communities Mercier is hopeful that governance models inclusive of Indigenous leadership can be extended to fisheries occurring in the North Atlantic and Arctic Mercier says the team’s Nunavut field expeditions are contributing to a greater understanding of sea cucumbers and other benthic organisms while building relationships with Indigenous communities in the North The research team works closely with local Inuit organizations, such as local high schools and Hunters and Trappers Associations in Nunavut to share findings and gain valuable insights into the Arctic marine ecosystem as a whole “It’s a multidirectional pattern of development,” Dr adding that the researchers often participate in community activities and give presentations to exchange knowledge and discuss ongoing research “It’s part of the contribution you make to science.”  Beyond sea cucumber-focused fieldwork and new discoveries Mercier and her colleagues are also dedicated to educational outreach helping undergraduate and graduate students and Indigenous youth engage with Arctic marine research as a whole A project she leads at the Department of Ocean Sciences has received a little over $13,000 in TILE funding to add new educational materials in Brightspace includes a module on Indigenous perspectives and features case studies on ocean sciences fieldwork conducted in the North “I think community-based science is the way forward,” said Yuthika Jalim a master of science student who works in the Mercier lab “The learning process is all-encompassing and highly enjoyable and the opportunity to share skills and insights as well as understand Indigenous knowledge and perspectives definitely enhances the learning experience.” Nicole Squires is a communications advisor in the Faculty of Science at Memorial University.

In Mirrorscape, an exhibition that opened on the weekend at Hobart’s Museum of Old and New Art (Mona), he and an international team of expert sculptors – Kevin Crawford, Enguerrand David, Sue McGrew and Leonardo Ugolini – used 80 tonnes of compacted sand to recreate the scenes of decay and detritus he found, serving them as a mirror of our own ruin. It’s a ghostly scene of domestic, environmental and industrial decay in still life, and it’s beautiful. clay-rich sand collected from a Tasmanian quarry has been compacted and sculpted into hyperrealistic shapes to scale: from the threaded cushioning of a mattress and a crumpled old pillow to the brittle snapped gum tree trunk and a side-view mirror dangling off a wrecked ute the intricacies are replicated to perfection right down to the impossibly well-crafted twisted sheets of corrugated iron “It was really important to me that everything was really strongly locally grounded so that you can actually see your own mattress your own catastrophe,” Mercier says of his first exhibition in Australia Mirrorscape: it’s a landscape that mirrors you.” A mattress and a couch are among the items recreated by Théo Mercier and a team of sand sculptors Photograph: Mona/Jesse Hunniford/Image courtesy of the artist and the Museum of Old and New ArtHe’s brought our rubbish back into the house holding it up for acknowledgement and responsibility while creating the space for all the questions we don’t want to ask Mercier says he spends much of his time playing between the two poles of attraction and repulsion and bringing things from the periphery to the centre the one from this trash place that you don’t want to see in the place – in the fetish place – the museum At those other places you pay to make an object disappear the ghosts are back and they’re in the centre.” Mirrorscape is designed to eventually collapse and return to the earth Photograph: Mona/Jesse Hunniford/Image

steel and protected by glass Sign up for the fun stuff with our rundown of must-reads, pop culture and tips for the weekend, every Saturday morning The sterile feel of the steel is juxtaposed with the soft warmth of the natural sand which contrasts again with the destruction and decay depicted “What interests me is the contrast between the violence of the scene and the calmness “There is something really soft and really epic at the same time.” Free newsletterCatch up on the fun stuff with Guardian Australia's culture and lifestyle rundown of pop culture The sculpture takes up a whole wall of Mona Photograph: Mona/Jesse Hunniford/Image courtesy of the artist and the Museum of Old and New ArtMercier has left his work deliberately ambiguous While it’s clearly about human impact and destruction The addition of naturally eroded sandstone cliffs seemingly subsuming the ute and other man-made objects “It’s like a specimen – a specimen for what?” Mercier asks It’s a bit lost in time – you don’t know if it’s something really archaic or really prophetic.” Also unknown is how long the artwork will last designed to decay before our eyes over the year that it is on display at Mona “Sand is a really interesting material because it represents landscape degradation,” Mercier says making islands disappear to build our cities and now we will look at this destroyed landscape going back to its original state: the sand It’s a man-made landscape that can go back to its natural state “You can see a giant sand clock: weeks after weeks months after months it will erode … The landscape will disappear and the sand will remain and continue on its own journey What we are seeing now is just one moment.” Mirrorscape is at Mona in Hobart until 16 February 2026 MontrealNewsTwo

Global Lead Partner Presented at the Festival d’Automne last November Skinless exemplifies the ambiguity the artist has cultivated over the past 15 years moving between the art and performance worlds without ever being confined to either Mercier’s portfolio defies easy categorization His works range from a field of cars erected vertically to sculpted busts bound using the Japanese bondage technique of shibari and dancers’ bodies perched on ladders – all products of his remarkable work as both sculptor and director the 40-year-old artist is also a producer and fabricator adding to a skill set that earned him recognition as a contemporary art wunderkind early on his studio in Paris’s 20th arrondissement looks more like a showroom than a production space The shelves display African tribal statues while small stones of various shapes line the windowsills His signature pieces are also present: sculptures composed of stacked polished stones and amphoras placed on spring pedestals It’s a veritable arsenal of deliberately anachronistic artifacts and the organized studio betrays a keen interest in exhibition venues as places of both transmission and power Mercier’s entry into the art world came precociously and auspiciously After earning his industrial design degree from the  École nationale supérieure de création industrielle (National Higher School of Industrial Creation) in Paris and working in the fashion designer Bernhard Willhelm’s studio he found his true calling during an 18-month apprenticeship with the artist Matthew Barney in New York ‘He revealed to me an artist’s full potential,’ Mercier reflects opera – all with equal precision and ambition He’s a world-builder.’ Following Barney’s example Mercier set out to construct his own boundless artistic universe His early works demonstrate his mastery of synthetic materials like silicone and resin humorous forms – heads composed of flowing hair and bones Mercier used his playful creations to probe with darker questions about contemporary life one of his breakthrough pieces – a giant figure made of spaghetti reimagining Rodin’s The Thinker – exemplifies this approach Its presentation at the FIAC art fair in the French capital that year marked Mercier’s arrival in the art market at just 26 Seeking distance from his early success in France the artist departed for Mexico and fell in love with the country always aiming to ‘make the invisible visible and bring forth what is buried.’ During this period the Parisian produced dozens of totemic sculptures that seemed on the verge of collapse and stones sourced locally – pieces now highly sought after by collectors Mercier collects words as avidly as objects Du futur faisons table rase (Let’s Make a Clean Slate of the Future) written during a pivotal residency at Villa Medici in 2013-14 Described by the quadragenarian as ‘chaotic and super-messy,’ this collective work brought together several artists he admires including the dancer François Chaignaud and the singer Philippe Katerine to stage a multilayered reflection on art history Unveiled at the Maison des arts de Créteil the project marked Mercier’s entry into the performance world – again through the front door – as it was subsequently programmed at the prestigious Théâtre des Amandiers in Nanterre ‘It’s a unionized environment that relies heavily on public funding,’ he notes ‘much more inspiring than the neoliberal model – or rather non-model – of contemporary art.’ His productions from Radio Vinci Park (2016) to La fille du collectionneur (The Collector’s Daughter) (2017) explore human relationships’ beauty and violence with characteristic poetic wit Like Barney and the theater director Romeo Castellucci Mercier creates everything: the libretto and spatial arrangement all bearing the hallmark of his versatile touch To better manage his flourishing – and increasingly ambitious – output the Frenchman established a structure that sits somewhere ‘between a studio and theater company’ with a creative and production team now split for nearly 10 years between three people supporting his visual art endeavors and two people managing his stage productions ‘My work on stage has completely transformed my approach to sculpture and exhibition-making,’ Mercier says His installations have evolved into what he terms ‘environments’ – spaces where his ‘dramatic’ objects coexist Like the cabinets of curiosities he installed at Paris’s Museum of Hunting and Nature in 2019 suspended tires and round stones imitating breasts the artist seeks to break free from the exhibition space to find what he calls a ‘gray zone’ – interstitial and ambiguous – in which to bring his own universe to life This is evidenced by his long-term project Outremonde begun in 2021 as a show at the Festival d’Avignon then adapted into a ‘living exhibition’ at the Collection Lambert in the city The work presents compressed sand formations where sculpted dogs and live performers intersect in a three-chapter narrative of reconstruction sparked a new methodology: Rather than transporting materials Mercier now recreates his sets on-site using locally sourced materials ‘My work has always been deeply connected to local economies,’ he says ‘I want it to reflect my experience of each place – how I work there and with whom.’ Mercier’s team has been traveling to performance venues ahead of his shows to recreate his sets in situ which was presented at La Villette for the Festival d’Automne 2024: On a platform encircled by standing viewers three performers engage in choreographed dialogue amid domestic waste In each tour city that the work has been presented this year Mercier’s team borrowed tons of food packaging from recycling companies using it temporarily before returning it intact ‘Materials must enter and exit my work unchanged,’ Mercier says ‘I’m interested in hacking systems of production and destruction Though the piece presents a dystopian vision Mercier insists it carries profound tenderness speaking simultaneously to ‘a damaged world’ and ‘a new world coming full of hope.’ More optimistic – even idealistic – than his work might suggest he concludes: ‘What truly interests me is living Everything I do in my work is simply a pretext for that.’ Théo Mercier is represented by mor charpentier (Paris, Bogotá).

BLACK RIVER-MATHESON - Residents of Black River-Matheson deserve transparency and that’s one thing Linda Mercier plans on giving them if she’s elected Mercier is one of seven candidates vying to be Matheson’s next mayor in the Aug She’s lived in the municipality since 1988 and is a retired federal public servant “I was the director for Service Canada Northeastern Ontario for old age security Canada Pension and employment insurance,” Mercier said “Because I am familiar with government I know that oftentimes discussions and decisions are not always public But that doesn't mean you cannot explain to the citizens why decisions are being made,” she said Another priority if elected is to recover the township’s reputation provide the citizens the information they need to understand what the situation is and what the plan is to move forward,” she said definitely open communication and collaboration with the citizens and the businesses of Matheson.” Other key priorities would be citizen participation investigating the condition of infrastructure including the water infrastructure in Holtyre and having councillors working together productively One of the main reasons for running was last year’s 34 per cent tax increase “I always said that I should get more involved “I believe people should vote for me because I have very strong ethics and values and I represent a big change I'm not vested in any outside interests in terms of businesses I believe in people and I believe in participation of the people when we're spending their tax dollars.” Seven council members will be elected — one councillor in each of the six wards The byelection is required because the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing declared all of the Matheson council seats vacant after council failed to meet quorum at meetings for 60 days The little-used section of the Municipal Act hasn't been exercised since it took effect in the early 2000s Connect with Mercier by emailing

facility located in a stunning natural setting characterized by lakes in the Laurentians Nature Reserve The project evokes the wooden cabins of the area's ancient settlements respecting the surroundings and opening up mountain views The new building adapts to the needs of skiers being located closer to the slopes and oriented to offer protection from the prevailing winds and direct sunlight The organization and layout of the rooms and services in Anne Carrier Architecture's project are designed on a single level featuring a central core and three wings that enable seamless circulation and universal accessibility The windows in the wings frame the surrounding landscape allowing users to fully appreciate the natural scenery from within Wood is the defining element of the building integrated into both the structure and the interior and exterior finishes supports the roof panels while also shaping the interior spaces These spaces are clad using various techniques and colours both to distinguish their functions and to enhance their adaptability Project description by Anne Carrier architecture Camp Mercier has been a vibrant meeting place renowned as one of the most important cross-country skiing centers in the Province of Quebec and students who come to observe the wildlife the Société des établissements de plein air du Québec (SEPAQ) commissioned a study of the existing reception pavilion The report concluded that the building had reached the end of its useful life Anne Carrier architecture was commissioned to design a new pavilion that would be functional replacing the old forest camp currently used as the reception Architecture in harmony with natureThe design of the pavilion evokes the old logging camps The subtle play of fullness and voids from the openings in the wooden envelope of the building creates dynamic shadows which shift throughout the day in response to the sun’s path Large openings are strategically placed to frame views of the landscape and the outdoors and to synergize activities inside and outside The contrast between the dark cladding and the lighter openings reinforces the pavilion’s architectural expression drawing inspiration from the contrasts between a tree’s bark and its core the approach reflects the architectural culture of Quebec The different spatial needs demanded different types of wood construction systems: a post-and-beam system allows for large spans in highly glazed areas have an openwork cladding system that ensures natural ventilation a lightweight wooden frame system is clad with locally sourced wood siding A dark stain was selected for exposed wood surfaces for durability while a light stain was applied to the covered wood surfaces highlighting the entrance and guiding visitors A wood-paneled ceiling envelops the contemplation areas in warmth while accompanying visitors on a seamless journey through the site’s activities and landscape This masterful use of wood earned the project the Cecobois 2025 Award of Excellence in the “Institutional Building” category The jury described it as "a remarkable work that draws on a holistic approach From its integration into the landscape to the construction details with each part finding its place in a highly cohesive whole Engineered wood and light-frame structural systems work together with skill and relevance The result is a beautifully harmonious project with clear lines finely crafted both in its relationship with the site and in its interior ambience" and rooted in its contextThe surrounding landscape flows seamlessly into the pavilion with vegetated embankments that allow for sliding during the winter and a natural amphitheater with relaxation areas and outdoor fire pits Special attention was given to the needs of ski enthusiasts the new pavilion was built closer to the ski paths and oriented to offer better protection from the prevailing winds while maximizing sunlight exposure The building’s single-story layout easily allows universal accessibility while minimizing noise pollution from the nearby road The pavilion is integrated to the Laurentian Mountain landscape and its efficient organization of living spaces and services in three wings with a central core optimizes circulation and operational fluidity while offering a renewed experience to visitors throughout the year The new Camp Mercier embodies a vision that combines tradition and modernity reflected through its new functions while remaining in harmony with nature and the site’s history the new multidisciplinary pavilion is part of a sustainable and long-term vision for this iconic site it has become a hub for new encounters and experiences with the comfort of users and the harmony of nature at the core of its design Anne Carrier architecture Landscape architect.- Rousseau Lefebvre.Structural engineering.- WSP.Mechanical engineering.- LGT Maxime Brouillet, Adrien Williams Anne Carrier Architecture was

with my local MLA I asked him to address the fact that hospice patients in Fraser Health (Langley in particular were charged a per diem rate if in hospice for terminal care and charged additionally for their medications the very same ones that were covered by MSP (Pharmacare) if the same patient had stayed in or been admitted to an acute care facility (such as Langley Memorial Hospital) The cost of a hospice bed is much less expensive than that of an acute care (hospital) bed the patient by transferring to hospice At our meeting I brought up that I felt this was an unfair mean-spirited policy that attacks constituents at their most vulnerable Mercier told me that any changes to the policy would have to go through the Finance Committee and that if the Ministry of Health stopped charging these fees to the patient/deceased's family the money would have to come from somewhere else to make up for lost income I would suggest that if the patient stayed in an acute care bed and all of his/her/their expenses were covered that would cost medicare far more than what is being recouped by charging for hospice care The last thing a grieving family needs when they have just lost a loved one is bills for care that should have been covered by MSP is a mere drop in the financial bucket to government programs by going to hospice care and freeing up an acute care bed the government (MSP) is likely saving money it would otherwise be spending on acute care The government's policy makes no sense and is mean-spirited Mercier approach the Finance committee and/or the Minister of Health so for me it isn't good enough to hear all of the elected politicians had the summer off His ill constituents didn't get a summer break from their suffering It is the first and only time I have asked my elected representative to do something for the good of his constituents and there has been absolutely no sign that any attempt to represent us in this matter was made If that is what he does with other issues of concern to his constituents then there is no way he should be our representative Johanna Mercier serves as Gilead’s Chief Commercial Officer overseeing the global commercialization of
