For the first time, the remains of a member of the ill-fated Franklin Expedition were identified through DNA, and with the help of one of his descendants. John Gregory was an engineer aboard HMS Erebus. Interview guest Douglas Stenton is an adjunct professor of anthropology at Waterloo and co-authored the paper about the discovery. Waterloo joins the country in mourning four members of a Muslim family who died in what police say was a targeted attack. Faculty members were honoured with the Outstanding Performance Award. And a new equity survey will allow Waterloo to monitor its progress in achieving strategic goals.
