Celebrating 40 and 45 Years of Trailblazing Women at the Canadian Military Colleges
A military education is tough by design. For the first women to receive a military education at the Canadian Military Colleges it featured extra complexities. They entered a predominantly male environment, with some fellow cadets and even instructors who didn’t feel they should be there. They had to be tough-minded and resilient and work extra hard to prove that they belonged. They were true trailblazers, breaking ground for the generations that followed.
RMC associate professor Danielle Lussier is recognized with the Order of Ontario for her contributions to legal and post-secondary education.
Since first joining Queen’s as a cross-appointed faculty member from the Royal Military College of Canada in 2022, Dr. Lussier has always known that her commitment to students went far beyond transmitting technical knowledge. Trained in both civil law and common law, Dr. Lussier brings her Red River Métis identity onboard to educate a new generation of professionals prepared to fight a history of colonization and oppression.
