Dear Terry,

With sincere congratulations on this singular honour. You have served our profession in an exemplary fashion, but even more notably, your example has inspired successive generations of students. This includes former graduate students such as myself, who felt your profound influence and appreciated your thoughtful commentary even if we never had the pleasure of studying directly with you.

All the very best, Terry.

Dear Terry,

Congratulations on this long overdue and deeply deserved recognition. Your writing and teaching has had a profoundly positive impact on the lives of so many over the course of your distinguished career. Canada is truly a better place thanks to your tireless commitment to mentorship, active learning, and first principles scholarship. I am so grateful for the investment you made in me, and the critical role the Centre played in steering me towards a bright future beyond academia. I know countless others share similar feelings, wherever their careers may have taken them.

All the best as you celebrate this wonderful milestone!

Wonderful and well-deserved news, Terry. Sorry I can't be there to join the celebrations. I still have my treasured copy of RG Collingwood, The Idea of History, from 3rd year undergraduate as a material token of your tremendous example as teacher, mentor, and scholar. Jeff

Lorna Marsden from Toronto
Warmest congratulations on this national recognition, but I still treasure my copy of The Anatomy of Poverty which my undergrads at UofT considered the best book on their course list. You've done much distinguished scholarship and your tours of the beaches and guides for students and all others are equally important contributions to our understanding of our country.
Bravo that you are being feted and regrets for absence. Lorna

Congratulations, Terry on being inducted in the membership of the Order of Canada. It's more than timely and richly deserved. You have been a brilliant scholar, inspirational teacher, and one of the most generous and compassionate person that I have met in the world. And, I treasure highly the time in your graduate seminars on war and society at WLU.
