RMC Wall of Honour
The Class of 1963, as their gift to the College upon entry into the Old Brigade in 2009, are creating and donating a Wall of Honour to recognize ex-cadets of the Royal Military Colleges (RMC, RRMC, CMR) and others with College numbers for outstanding achievements and contributions to Canada or the world. This project has the strong support of the College, the Club and the Foundation.
Those recognized on the Wall of Honour will inspire prospective recruits, existing RMC students, RMC graduates, RMC staff and all Canadians to be the best they can be through dedication, hard work, application of their talents and training and by letting Truth, Duty and Valour guide their lives.
The Wall will initially be eight feet high and 64 feet long with extensions as requirements for additional space materialize. Plaques of honour will be mounted on the Wall each with a short description of these being recognized. It shall be located on Verité Drive.
Recognition can extend to any area of professional endeavor including, but not necessarily limited to, academia, arts, athletic, business, military, professional services, public service, and religion, together with demonstrated personal characteristics consistent with those that the colleges strive to achieve and sustain. It is expected that a very low proportion (1%) of of potential candidates will qualify and would usually be close to the end of their careers, retired or deceased.
Candidates for selection must have achieved something of extraordinary significance at the national or international level, have a lifetime of achievements, or a single (probably world class) breakthrough achievement, whose effect is of lasting significance and reflect the qualities of Truth, Duty and Valour in their personal and professional lives.
There is a Nomination Committee, a Selection Board and an Administrative Office for the Wall of Honour. The Administrative Office is a joint responsibility of the Class of 63 and the office of the Commandant.
It is anticipated that the Wall will be completed during the summer of 2009 with all landscaping and lighting completed by September. The first plaques will be mounted prior to the inauguration ceremonies scheduled for Reunion Weekend in October.
