Looking ahead, the Faculty Excellence Celebration takes place in May, followed by the Chancellor’s and President’s Excellence Awards in the fall The awards honour the exceptional contributions of employees students and community members who embody the spirit and values of Mount Royal celebrating those who demonstrate outstanding service leadership and a commitment to fostering a vibrant and inclusive community Achievements will be recognized across six categories reflecting the diverse ways community members contribute to Mount Royal’s success While the “celebrate” portion of Celebrate U is important the program as a whole is about more than recognition It’s about building a culture of appreciation and belonging “We take great pride at Mount Royal in our people and their achievements from early milestones to contributions that stretch over a half-century Letting employees know that their work is seen and valued is an important part of who we are as an institution,” Gallo said “Whether it’s in the classroom or in a non-academic setting Letting employees know that their efforts — from everyday tasks to large projects — are appreciated and a critical component of furthering our institutional goals creates a culture where people can be their professional and personal best.” Hamonic’s path with Mount Royal was anything but linear It’s a journey shared by many employees who return to the university after an initial period of employment After first joining the Payroll department in 1984 Hamonic took time off to raise her three children explaining how the familiar pull of MRU always seemed to find her at just the right moments Hamonic eventually found her true calling as a benefits and pension advisor — a position that allowed her to connect more directly with employees during some of the most important transitions of their lives "I liked working with people who were retiring she witnessed Mount Royal transform from a small everyone came and you knew everyone," she recalls Her story reflects one of the core values that Celebrate U recognizes: the extraordinary impact that each individual brings to the university community through their time with plans ranging from visits to Edmonton and Saskatoon to a river cruise through Eastern Europe Her husband is joining her in retirement this fall giving them more flexibility to spend time with their three children and one grandchild What advice would this former benefits and pension Advisor who regularly counselled those looking into retirement give others who are in the shoes she was last year "Don’t be afraid to retire," she advised with another laugh Mount Royal University is a student-first undergraduate post-secondary university in Alberta supportive professors and hands-on learning With gratitude and reciprocity, Mount Royal University acknowledges the relationships to the land and all beings, and the songs, stories and teachings of the Siksika Nation, the Piikani Nation, the Kainai Nation, the Îethka Stoney Nakoda Nation (consisting of the Chiniki, Bearspaw and Goodstoney Nations), the people of the Tsuut’ina Nation, and the Métis.

(TSXV: CCE FSE: D7H0) ("Commerce") is pleased to announce it has entered into a definitive agreement with Mont Royal Resources Limited (ASX: MRZ) ("Mont Royal") to merge the two companies Mont Royal will acquire 100% of Commerce's issued and outstanding shares through a court-approved plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) The merger will create a Québec-focused critical minerals explorer and developer combining Commerce's Ashram Rare Earth and Fluorspar Project and Eldor Niobium Project with Mont Royal's Northern Lights Lithium Project The newly combined entity will be dual-listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (TSXV) and the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) The merger also unites experienced leadership teams with strong track records in capital markets To view full announcement: https://www.accessnewswire.com/newsroom/en/metals-and-mining/commerce-resources-and-mont-royal-resources-enter-into-arrangement-agreement-to-c-1012730 More Information: https://commerceresources.com/ [email protected] Do not sell or share my personal information: REM cars will be progressively running on the REM tracks between Du Ruisseau and Gare Centrale stations With the addition of the last segment in the dynamic testing phase the entire Deux-Montagnes and Anse-à-l'Orme branches are now in test mode the first REM cars passed through the tunnel; an important step that allowed the initiation of this dynamic testing on the network Our teams will test various components of the REM in a multitude of scenarios to ensure the robustness of the network will be on site to test every component of the network The cars will run at low speed for a few days in April between the Du Ruisseau and Gare Centrale stations will have to be paused for a few weeks to complete construction The tests will resume in May at high speed The objective is to replicate in-service REM conditions with the same frequency and maximum speed of 100 km/h A major milestone was reached at the beginning of March: the REM ran through the tunnel for the first time traveling from Du Ruisseau station to Gare Centrale station To allow the first passage of the REM through the century-old tunnel the tracks between Du Ruisseau and Gare Centrale stations were reserved for test teams they carried out what is called track validation; a necessary and preliminary step to prepare the network for dynamic testing in the spring.  Track validation is when the REM runs at low speed on the rails to allow the system to detect the beacons placed along the route this will allow REM cars to operate automatically indicating their exact position in real-time this step helps identify network elements such as station arrival connecting downtown Montreal to Laval and Deux-Montagnes in about 30 minutes has posed significant challenges for the project teams REM teams continue their efforts towards the next service launch to perform the various tests needed on the cars The frequency of the runs will vary depending on testing needs.  The dynamic testing period will continue until commissioning tests will be conducted on the REM and its components in a multitude of scenarios to ensure the robustness of the network We are confident that we will be ready for a commissioning in October 2025 The YUL-Aéroport-Montréal-Trudeau station is still under construction dynamic testing can then begin on the line to the Montréal-Trudeau International Airport Commerce Resources (TSXV: CCE) has entered into an agreement with Mont Royal Resources (ASX: MRZ) to merge the two companies The merger will create a Quebec-focused critical minerals explorer and developer combining Commerce's Ashram rare earth and fluorspar project and Eldor niobium project with Mont Royal's Northern Lights lithium project The new critical minerals developer and exploration company will have a strong focus on rare earths The newly combined entity will be dual listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (TSXV) and the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) The companies involved have listed the following rationale for the merger: The deal will create a complementary exploration asset package at Mont Royal's Northern Lights project covering an area of 536km2 in the Upper Eastmain Greenstone belt copper and gold potential; and achieving a dual listing on the ASX and TSXV which aims to attract a broader range of investors for the Merged Group increase liquidity and greater ability to raise capital the companies were also motivated by the following reasons: The ASX has a greater number of listed developing rare earth companies providing a stronger group of peer companies against which to benchmark the Ashram Project; Having access to the combined experience of key members of the Commerce and Mont Royal Boards who have held former and current roles with successful international resource groups Commerce has listed these successful groups as Champion Iron Limited (CIA.ASX CIA.TSX) Primero Group Limited (acquired by NRW Holdings Limited) Riversdale Resources Limited (acquired by Hancock Prospecting Pty Ltd) said:"The team at Commerce is excited at the prospect of working with the Mont Royal team to create a new Canadian-focused critical metals company and to maximize the value of our outstanding flagship asset at Ashram This merger will provide a dual listing on the ASX and TSXV additional expertise and a clear strategy to generate superior shareholder returns through completion of the studies at the Ashram project while also unlocking additional exploration upside at the Eldor Niobium and Northern Lights exploration projects." said:"This transaction is a great opportunity to create value for both groups of shareholders Combining the proven exploration and management skills of the Commerce and Mont Royal teams with the large resource at Ashram and the additional upside at the Eldor niobium project will have the potential to unlock value for shareholders."

Dynamic testing is under way, the work in the Mont-Royal Tunnel is going well and the REM teams are continuing their efforts toward the next commissioning, planned for fall 2025. We present below the major upcoming phases, their impact on the network and the milestones that will need to be crossed before any future commissioning of next network. The Mont-Royal Tunnel is essential infrastructure that connects downtown Montréal to the South Shore, Deux-Montagnes, Anse-a-l’Orme and YUL-Aéroport-Montréal-Trudeau branches. Two unexpected events in the Mount Royal Tunnel:  These events caused significant delays in the work on the Mount Royal Tunnel. A temporary control centre to optimize the schedule In order to start dynamic testing before completing the tunnel, we built a temporary control center in Saint-Eustache. This allows work in the tunnel to continue at the same time as we start dynamic testing on the Deux-Montagnes and Anse-a-l’Orme branches. The teams will finalize the work in the Mont-Royal Tunnel and the installation of technical equipment in addition to connecting the systems throughout the network.  During this migration, our operator will migrate the data collected during dynamic testing on the segments currently being tested from the temporary control centre in Saint-Eustache to the South Shore control centre, which operates the segment currently in service. To conclude this step, the Brossard control centre will need to take over operating the entire network. The teams will conduct dynamic testing across the entire network from the Brossard control centre. These tests will increase in speed and frequency until they reach those planned for when the network is in service. Before allowing the public to board, various reliability and safety criteria must be met to ensure safe travel. This is why network closures will be necessary during the various tests.  To conclude this step, the network’s performance must meet satisfactory performance targets. A closure of 4 to 6 weeks is planned for summer 2025, exact dates will be established following discussions with our partners. This is the last step before official commissioning! During the dry run, the teams test the network as if it were in service, at the planned speeds and schedules, with teams deployed in the stations. The network can open once the dry run is concluded and these last tests demonstrate acceptable performance. As noted earlier, the next steps will be complex and will require service interruptions on the South Shore branch during 2025. For each step, our teams have targeted precise time slots to minimize the impact on riders. We will be working with our transportation partners to develop a temporary bus shuttle service tailored to each step to provide travel to riders during service interruptions, with costs covered by CDPQ Infra. Service interruptions on the network will be communicated in advance to provide greater predictability to REM riders.  Complete closure of the network for a period of 4 to 6 weeks is planned ​ Dates to be determined based on discussions with our partners  2 months agoDuration 2:10Montreal moving ahead with plans to ban vehicle traffic on road up Mount Royal2 months agoNewsDuration 2:10The Plante administration is one step closer to revamping Camillien-House Way, which winds up the mountain.

A lifelong competitive powwow dancer inducted into the Canadian Dance Hall of Fame in 2023, she taught herself how to bead when she was a teenager While she says she hasn’t always considered herself an artist Pheasant-Neganigwane is now honoured to be celebrating her gift alongside the other participants “My belief is that we’re all artists and we should honour that,” she says Waucaush-Warn says she has long felt a calling toward a creative project based on the aunties in her life support and a blunt truth that only an aunty can deliver in a loving way I have always thought that my aunties represented anti-establishment The exhibition holds a deep cultural significance to artist and participant Manywounds “My involvement in this exhibition is incredibly meaningful to me While our community is often recognized for its economic achievements this recognition can sometimes overshadow our rich culture and its history,” she says Manywounds’ piece Crawl Home to Her is inspired by the strength of Chief Bullhead’s wife While Chief Bullhead’s legacy in preserving Tsuut’ina land language and traditions is well-recognized Manywounds explains that his wife is a figure whose pivotal role in history has remained largely undocumented “Her actions changed the course of generations within my community The exhibition serves to preserve her memory and bring awareness to her legacy — reminding us that she Follett’s contributions centre on the chosen family “The Euro-Canadian culture that I was born into does not recognize aunties in the same way that other cultures do,” they tell “But as a young ‘baby queer’ living in Lethbridge I was fortunate enough to have the mentorship of older queers around me who demonstrated the value of community organizing and collective care.” Pérez-Rivera explains “Aunty means a safe space you can let your guard down so the heart can speak This aunty space often comes with hot meals The Aunties/Anti exhibition is an invitation to witness It is an opportunity to engage with the stories traditions and lived experiences of aunties from diverse backgrounds to recognize their contributions and to embrace the notion that to be an auntie or to be “auntied,” is a privilege and a profound source of connection “As a grandmother — a mature aunty — I tell my students ‘know what your gift is and celebrate it,” says Pheasant-Neganigwane “This is our true celebration.” Find the exhibition at the East Gate entrance along the south wall but its story begins in 1643 | CBC.ca LoadedThe cross on Montreal's Mount Royal may be turning 100 4 months agoDuration 1:25The cross on Montreal's Mount Royal may be turning 100, but its story begins in 16434 months agoNewsDuration 1:25It's been a century since Saint-Jean-Baptiste Society gathered funds from across Quebec to build a monument to the province's history and culture.

author of 11 books, Hill is best known for The Book of Negroes, which explores slavery, resilience, and identity, and Blood: The Stuff of Life, which examines blood as a marker of identity A passionate advocate for literature and storytelling as a tool for empowerment Hill amplifies marginalized voices and untold histories We caught up with Hill prior to his MRU event Faction: Negotiating the Fact and Fiction in the Art of Storytelling can you share some of what people can expect to hear I find it quite challenging to build the sort of historical and socio-economic worlds that fascinate me — full of migration racial politics and identity issues — without compromising dramatic momentum So I would like to discuss the themes and issues that have obsessed me over the decades while acknowledging the challenge of balancing them with humour Who were your early inspirations either as teachers or authors whose work you read As an African-American immigrant to Canada would have wanted was to see me become a novelist He was telling me from the age of five that I was to be an engineer But he shot himself in the foot by making me write letters for all the things I wanted He generally gave me what I pleaded for in those letters so I saw a good thing and just kept writing My earliest inspirations were the African-American writers whose works I pilfered from my father’s shelves and began to devour as a teenager: James Baldwin searching for home and an honest telling of history.  How do you see literature and storytelling as empowering those who are marginalized It is easier to be moved in these respects when we find characters and situations with which we can identify It doesn’t mean that the protagonist of a novel has to resemble the reader in any direct way But the reader needs a foothold into that protagonist’s soul People who are marginalized need literature profoundly Your latest project is a novel about the African American soldiers who travelled to northern British Columbia and Yukon during World War II to help build The Alaska Highway I was electrified when I found out some years ago that some 5,000 African-American soldiers were sent by the U.S Army to build the Alaska Highway in Northern B.C. what advice do you give to your own students who aspire to write fiction Take the time to connect with the beauty of your own imagination Because the noisy and intrusive and ever-demanding “look at me” world tends to act as a barrier to creative thought So invest in your own inner beauty and creative self by allowing yourself regular periods of alone-time Read more about Hill’s upcoming lecture at Mount Royal.
