Bio/Historical Note: "25 Lives: Out & Proud," was the 25th-anniversary project of the Canadian Lesbian and Gay Archives (CLGA). The Toronto-based organization selected 25 inspirational people in the LGBTQ community to honour those whose achievements and openness about their sexuality have had an impact on Canadian society. Their portraits, mainly done by artists within that community, were donated. There are 13 women and 12 men, there is regional representation, and people from a number of different cultural backgrounds. Indeed, the honourees range from politicians and entertainers to writers and activists. Among the 25 were Svend Robinson, k.d. lang, Jim Egan, Mary-Woo Sims, Anne Bishop, Persimmon Blackbridge, Robin Metcalfe, Ken Popert, Robert Laliberte, Jovette Marchessault. Tim McCaskell, Shelley Tremain, and Audrey Butler. The exhibit was co-ordinated by Neil Richards (Library) and Valerie Korinek (History).

Bio/Historical Note: A memorial stone and plaque honouring the memory of those who served with the 46th Canadian Infantry Battalion (South Saskatchewan), Canadian Expeditionary Force, 1914-1918, sits under a tree on the northeast corner of the Bowl. Formed in February of 1915, the 46th battalion was filled primarily with Saskatchewan youths, many via USask. Also known as the "suicide battalion,” it fought in some of the bloodiest encounters of the war. Of the 5,374 men in the 46th battalion, 4,917 were either killed or wounded. A particularly costly battle was Passchendaele, where there were 403 casualties from the battalion's strength of 600 men. With the end of the war came demobilization and the end of the 46th Battalion. The soldiers became veterans and returned to civilian life. Many re-enrolled or entered the university for the first time. Many others did not return. The Memorial Stone was unveiled 11 November 1933 and was designed by Ms. M.J. Taylor of Winnipeg.
