As an organization we recognize the incredible contributions of the RCAF over the past century. Together, let’s salute the brave men and women of the RCAF. 🛩️✨

March 26th is Purple Day, dedicated to increasing awareness about epilepsy worldwide. Today, we remember one of our most iconic and widely quoted Heritage Minutes on Dr. Wilder Penfield. Dr. Penfield was the founder and first director of the Montreal Neurological Institute and established the "Montreal procedure" for the surgical treatment of epilepsy.
The iconic line, “Dr. Penfield, I smell burnt toast.” was for many Canadians their first exposure to epilepsy and was influential in raising awareness for the disease. However, it is a misconception that everyone with epilepsy will smell burnt toast before they have a seizure. This influential Minute portrays just one example of how an aura may show up for someone living with epilepsy. Auras and seizures look very different for different people.
Please take a moment to learn more at Epilepsy Toronto : https://lnkd.in/dvZ-8RP

Le 26 mars est la Journée pourpre, journée dédiée à la sensibilisation mondiale envers l’épilepsie. Aujourd’hui, nous nous souvenons de l’une de nos Minutes du patrimoine les plus emblématiques et les plus souvent citées, celle au sujet du docteur Wilder Penfield. Le docteur Penfield a été le fondateur et le premier directeur de l’Institut neurologique de Montréal, et il a développé la « procédure de Montréal » pour le traitement chirurgical de l’épilepsie.
La phrase emblématique: « Docteur Penfield, je sens des toasts qui brûles » représente la première fois que de nombreux Canadiens ont pris connaissance de ce qu’est l’épilepsie, et elle a joué un rôle important dans la sensibilisation du public à la maladie. Toutefois, ce ne sont pas toutes les personnes atteintes d’épilepsie qui sentent l’odeur de rôtie brûlée avant d’avoir une crise. Cette Minute influente n’est qu’un exemple de la façon dont une aura peut se manifester chez une personne atteinte d’épilepsie. Les auras et les crises épileptiques sont très différentes d’une personne à l’autre.

La NOUVELLE vidéo du #ProjetMémoire est lancée aujourd'hui!
« Ce n’était pas du maintien de la paix. Il s’agissait de l’imposition de la paix et de survivre. »
L'opération de maintien de la paix de l'ONU à Chypre est l'un des plus longs engagements militaires du Canada à l'étranger, mais le conflit sur l'île n'est toujours pas résolu. Dans cette vidéo du Projet Mémoire, trois Casques bleus canadiens racontent leur service pendant trois décennies sur l'île.
2024 marque le 60e anniversaire du début de la mission de maintien de la paix des Nations unies à Chypre. Les Casques bleus canadiens ont été les premiers à arriver sur le terrain en 1964, et le Canada a continué à participer à la Force de maintien de la paix des Nations unies à Chypre (UNFICYP) par la suite. Bien que les tensions sur l'île se soient stabilisées, le conflit à Chypre n'est toujours pas résolu.
Basée sur le point de vue de trois vétérans canadiens qui ont servi à Chypre pendant trois décennies, cette vidéo donne un aperçu de la souveraineté contestée de Chypre et met l'accent sur la participation du Canada à la mission des Nations unies dans ce pays.

Our NEW #MemoryProject video launches today!  "It was not peacekeeping. It was peace enforcement and survival.”
The UN peacekeeping operation in Cyprus is one of Canada's longest overseas military commitments, but conflict on the island remains unresolved. In this Memory Project video, three Canadian Peacekeepers share their stories of service across three decades on the island.
2024 marks the 60th anniversary of the beginning of the UN peacekeeping mission in Cyprus. Canadian Peacekeepers were the first to arrive on the ground in 1964, and Canada has maintained involvement in the UN Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP) ever since. While tensions on the island have stabilized, the conflict in Cyprus remains unresolved to this day.
Supported by the perspectives of three Canadian veterans who served in Cyprus over the course of three decades, this video provides an overview of Cyprus’ contested sovereignty and focuses on Canadian involvement in the United Nations mission there.

Dévoué à la cause d'une Irlande indépendante pendant sa jeunesse, au cours des années, Thomas D'Arcy McGee devient moins républicain; il défend même les institutions parlementaires britanniques. Les partisans de la cause des Fenians se sentent trahis; ceci a peut-être mené à son assassinat. #patrimoineirlandais https://lnkd.in/gnEkuQB6

Staunchly pro-Irish independence in his youth, Thomas D'Arcy McGee mellowed from a strong Republican stance to a defender of British parliamentary institutions with age. But many supporters of the Fenian cause saw this change as a betrayal, which may have led to his assassination. #IrishHeritageMonth https://lnkd.in/gazDhBNe
