Today we are remembering a longtime friend of everyone at LCSC, historian Tim Cook. We remember him as a great scholar but also a generous man who gave back to the profession by paying it forward. studyofcanada.ca/remembering-ti…

What a wonderful tribute. Public historian Tim Cook told compelling stories about Canada’s soldiers. #cdnpoli #CAF #CanadianWarMuseum theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…
