Tonight, we had the opportunity to attend the opening ceremony for Nipissing University’s new Centre for the Study of State Violence, part of a weekend of events celebrating the Centre’s grand opening.

Led by Dr. Hilary Earl and Dr. Stephen Connor from Nipissing University’s History Department, the Centre brings together research, teaching and dialogue examining state violence and its lasting impacts, including war, genocide, colonialism and systemic oppression.

Tonight’s program included a screening of aadizookewinini by Nipissing graduate Megan Paulin, a performance of Containment, composed by Rev. Dr. Derek Neal, and a thought-provoking keynote from Dr. Lilia Topouzova of the University of Toronto on history, memory and the work of bearing witness.

This work matters far beyond the classroom. Understanding difficult histories, asking challenging questions and creating space for research and dialogue helps us better understand our communities and the world we live in today.

It was inspiring to see this level of research and scholarship being fostered right here in North Bay.

Congratulations to Dr. Earl, Dr. Connor, Dr. Law and everyone who has played a role in bringing the Centre to life.

Grand opening programming continues throughout the weekend and is free to attend. Visit Nipissing University’s website for the full schedule.

Thirty years of dedication is no small feat! 🎉

In 1996, Independence Day topped the box office, the “Macarena” was everywhere and Sue began what would become an incredible career with the North Bay & District Chamber of Commerce.

Starting at the former Tourism Information Centre, where the Chamber also operated the Dionne Quintuplets Museum, Sue has played an important role in the Chamber’s growth and success over the past three decades.

Her knowledge, dedication and commitment to our members and business community continue to make a difference every day. We are incredibly fortunate to have her on our team and so grateful for everything she brings to the Chamber.

Please join us in congratulating Sue on her amazing 30th anniversary! 💙🎉
