“Our model of governance is based on the assumption that governments will respect the traditions handed to us by the Westminster system,” says Dr. Desserud. “But what if they don’t? Who or what will hold them to that tradition? We are close to a constitutional crisis, and one option we might consider is an elected Governor General.”

The bikers are participants in the TELUS Motorcycle Ride for Dad: an annual fundraiser to support research and awareness projects for prostate cancer.

It’s not every day that you can get excited about forms. Get ready. Today is that day.

The staff of Research Services, formerly ORD, knows about forms. We know about compliance forms. We know about accounting forms. We know about administrative forms. We know about all the forms.

There are dozens of forms that can help you meet the many requirements surrounding research. While we couldn’t make the forms go away, we were able to make them easier for you to use.
