LIEUTENANT GENERAL ROMÉO DALLAIRE
OC, CMM, MSC, CD

As commander of the United Nations Observer Mission in Uganda and Rwanda (UNOMUR) in 1993-94,
General Roméo Dallaire strove to prevent the bloody conflict between the majority Hutus and minority
Tutsis in Rwanda. But his warnings went unheeded and his repeated requests for additional forces were
declined. In the bloodshed that followed, hundreds of thousands of civilians were killed, along with a
number of General Dallaire's forces. On his return to Canada, Dallaire passionately communicated the
need for a comprehensive mandate and full Security Council support to for future UN missions. Dallaire
served more than 35 years in the Canadian Forces, including tours with NATO in Germany and as a
peacekeeper in Cyprus. His open declaration of his difficulties in dealing with the Rwanda massacres
helped bring attention to the acceptance of Operational Stress Injuries, specifically Post-traumatic Stress
Disorder, experienced by military and civilian personnel who have witnessed traumatic events.

LIEUTENANT-GÉNÉRAL ROMÉO DALLAIRE
OC, CMM, CSM, CD

Commandant de la Mission d'observation des Nations Unies en Ouganda et au Rwanda (MONUOR) en
1993-94, le Général Roméo Dallaire a vaillamment lutté contre l'éclatement d'un conflit sanglant entre la
majorité hutue et la minorité tutsie au Rwanda. Malheureusement, ses avertissements furent ignorés et
ses multiples demandes de renforts refusées. Durant la tuerie qui suivit, des centaines de milliers de civils
furent massacrés, de même que plusieurs membres des forces du général Dallaire. À son retour au
Canada, le Général Dallaire a passionnément communiqué le besion d'un mandat comlet et de l'appui
total du Conseil de sécurité pour les futures missions des Nations Unies. Durant sa carrière de plus de
35 ans au sein des Forces canadiennes, le Général Dallaire a srvie auprès de l'OTAN en Allemagne et
avec les Casques bleu à Chypre. Sa franchise au sujet des difficultés qu'il a éprouvées à la suite des
massacres au Rwanda a sensibilisé les gens sur les traumatismes opérationnels, plus précisément le
syndrome de stress post-traumatique, dont souffrent les militaires et les civils témoins d'événements
traumatiques.

Dallaire Avenue was dedicated in 2004.

The streets in Garrison Green were initially named after the places where Canadian troops had served on peacekeeping missions and were to be renamed to reflect Lincoln Park’s history as an airfield during the Second World War. The Canadian Association of Veterans in United Nations Peacekeeping's (CAVUNP) national president at the time, Colonel Don Ethell, objected. The Calgary chapter of CAVUNP proposed 16 Canadian peacekeepers names, of which 13 were chosen. Each street is named after a Canadian Peacekeeper, of varying ranks and service time frames. A summary of the Peacekeepers’ experiences is provided with a plaque placed on each street. Together they provide a comprehensive overview of Canadian peacekeeping missions and experiences from the 1950’s to 2000.

STAFF-SERGEANT JOSEPH PAUL MARQUIS, CD

Staff Sergeant Joseph Marquis was the first Canadian Peacekeeper to die serving on an armed United
Nations mission. Marquis served with the 57th Canadian Signals Unit as per of the United Nations
Operation in the Congo (ONUC), a 19,000-strong force created in 1960 to bring the law and order to the newly
independent African nation, and to halt Belgian intervention in its former colony. At the same time military
forces arrived, UN civilian experts were rushed in to help ensure the continues operations of essential
public services. ONUC's civilian aid component was the UN's largest single programme of assistance up
to that time.

Marquis was killed on January 20, 1962. He was one of 245 military personnel killed during ONUC's four-year
mission. In September 2001, Marquis' family was presented with the Canadian Memorial Cross, symbolic of
those soldiers who died while on duty for Canada.

SERGENT-CHEF JOSEPH PAUL MARQUIS, CD

Premier Casque bleu canadien tué lors d'une mission armée de maintien de la paix des Nations Unies,
le Sergent-chef Joseph Marquis a servi auprès du 57e Escaddron de communications (Royal Canadian
Signal Corps) de l'Opération des Nations Unies au Congo (ONUC), une force de 19 000 troupes formée en
1960 pour rétablir l'ordre dans cette nation africaine nouvellement indépendante et pour mettre fin à
l'intervention belge dans son ancienne colonie. A l'arrivée des forces militaires, des experts civils de
l'ONU ont été dépêchés sur les lieux pour veiller au fonctionnement continu des services publics
essentiels. L'importante composante d'aide civile de l'ONUC représentait la première tentative de l'ONU
de concilier un programme d'aide à sa mission.

Joseph Marquis a trouvé la mort le 20 janvier 1962. Il fait partie des 245 militaires tués durant les quatre
armées de mission de l'ONUC. En septembre 2001, on a remis à la famille du Sergent-chef Marquis la Croix
du Souvenir du Canada, symbole des soldats canadiens qui sont donné leur vie au service de Canada.

MAJOR ROBERT BRUCE HENWOOD, CD

On September 1995, while on duty as a United Nations Military Observer (UNMO) in war-torn Croatia,
Major Bruce Henwood suffered grievous injuries when his patrol vehicle struck an antitank mine. A graduate
of the Royal Military College, Henwood had enjoyed a promising career as an officer, including service with
the Lord Strathcona's Horse (Royal Canadians), the South Alberta Light Horse, the 8th Canadian Hussars
(Princess Louise's), and Royal Canadian Dragoons, with whom he served in Germany.

A British army officer saved Henwood's life when his vehicle exploded, but his injuries which - required
the amputation of both legs below the knees - ended Henwood's career. For his actions in Croatia, and in
recognition of his courage and perseverance during two years of gruelling rehabilitation, Henwood received
the Land Force Commander's Commendation. He became an inspiration for fellow peacekeepers,
particularly those who suffered physical and mental injuries.

MAJOR ROBERT BRUCE HENWOOD, CD

En mission d'observateur militaire des Nations Unies (UNMO) en Croatie, un pays déchiré par la guerre,
le major Bruce Henwood a été grièvement blessé en septembre 1995, lorsqu'une une mine antichar a fait sauter
son véhicule de patrouille Diplômé du Collège royal militaire du Canada, l'officer Henwood avait un avenir
prometteur au service des régiments Lord Strathcona's Horse (Royal Canadians), South Alberta Light
Horse, 8th Canadian Hussars (Princess Louise's) et Royal Canadian Dragoons, auprès duquel il a servi en
Allemagne.

Un officier de l'armée britannique a sauvé la vie du Major Henwood quand son véhicule fut touché, mais
ses blessures - qui nécessitèrent l'amputation des deux jambes sous les genoux - mirent fin à la carrière
de Major Henwood. Le Commandant de la Force terrestre a décerné unde citation au Major Henwood en
reconnaissance de ses actions en Croatie ainsi que son courage et de sa persévérance durant deux
longues et difficiles années de réadaptation. Le courage du Major Henwood est une source d'inspiration
pour les autres Casques bleus, particulièrement ceux et celles qui ont subi des blessures ou des
traumatismes.

MAJOR GENERAL LEWIS W. MACKENZIE
OStJ, OOnt, MSC (2), CD, LLD (Hon)

In the early 1990s, the eyes of the world were on the United Nations Protection Force in Yugoslavia
(UNPROFOR) and its Canadian chief of staff, Major General Lewis MacKenzie. Besieged in the midst of the
Bosnian civil war, General 'Lew' and the UN forces under his command kept open the Sarajevo airport for
delivery of humanitarian relief. In his 33 years of military service, MacKenzie accumulated more
peacekeeping experience, in more ranks and appointments, than any other Canadian. His military and
peacekeeping service ranged from Germany to Vietnam, and from Central America to Cyprus and the
Middle East. He is the only Canadian to have been awarded the Meritorious Service Cross twice. After
retiring in 1993, MacKenzie became a best selling author, lecturer and frequent media commentator. He is
regarded as one of the world's most experienced peacekeepers.

Hoppe a secouru des collègues et des civils, dont des enfants ciblés par des tirs d'armes de petit calibre. En
reconnaissance de son héroïsme dans les Balkans, on a décerné la Médaille de la bravoure et la Croix du service
méritoire au Sergent Hoppe, le premier Casque bleu canadien décoré à deux reprises pour bravoure durant la même
affectation. Retraité des Forces canadiennes, le Sergent Hoppe a insisté pour qu'on améliore les programmes et
avantages destinés aux anciens combattants. Des représentants des ministères de la Défense nationale et des
Anciens combattants ont reconnu le bien fondé des ses efforts et on fait appel à son leadership.

Tom Hoppe Mews was dedicated in 2004.

The streets in Garrison Green were initially named after the places where Canadian troops had served on peacekeeping missions and were to be renamed to reflect Lincoln Park’s history as an airfield during the Second World War. The Canadian Association of Veterans in United Nations Peacekeeping's (CAVUNP) national president at the time, Colonel Don Ethell, objected. The Calgary chapter of CAVUNP proposed 16 Canadian peacekeepers names, of which 13 were chosen. Each street is named after a Canadian Peacekeeper, of varying ranks and service time frames. A summary of the Peacekeepers’ experiences is provided with a plaque placed on each street. Together they provide a comprehensive overview of Canadian peacekeeping missions and experiences from the 1950’s to 2000.

JOHNSON PL

SERGEANT WILLIAM EDWARD JOHNSON

In October 1959, at the end of his six-month peacekeeping tour in Egypt, Sergeant Bill Johnson of the Royal
Canadian Engineers prepared to relinquish his duties and looked forward to returning home. Johnson had
been assigned to the United Nations Emergency Force (UNEF 1), the UN's first armed peacekeeping mission.
Created in response to the 1956 Sinai Wan, UNEF1 supervised the removal of British, French and Israeli
forces from Egypt, and served as a buffer between Egyptian and Israeli forces until 1967.

On October 20, 1959, Sgt Johnson’s jeep hit a landmine, causing grievous injuries that included the loss of
both legs. Following an honourable discharge and two years of convalescence at the Colonel Belcher
Hospital in Calgary, Johnson began a successful career with Chevron Canada. He maintained his military
ties as a stalwart member of the Royal Canadian Legion and the Canadian Association of Veterans in
United Nations Peacekeeping, in both organizations, Johnson worked hard to improve the benefits due to
former peacekeepers with disabilities.

SERGENT WILLIAM EDWARD JOHNSON

En octobre 1959, au terme de six mois d'affectation au mission de la paix en Égypte, le sergent Bill
Johnson du Corps royal du genie canadien se préparait à quitter son poste et à retourner chez lui. Le
Sergent Johnson servait alors auprès de la Force d'urgence des Nations Unies (FUNU1), première mission
de paix armée des Nations Unies. Formée à la suite de la guerre du Sinaï en 1956, FUNU1 devait diriger le
retrait d'Egypte des forces françaises, britanniques et israéliennes, puis créer un secteur tampon entre les
forces égyptiennes et israéliennes jusqu'en 1967.

Le 20 octobre 1959, le Sergent Johnson fut grièvement blessé et perdit les deux jambes lorsque sa jeep
toucha une mine. Après sa libération honorable et deux anées de convalescence à l'hôpital Colonel
Belcher de Calgary, Bill Johnson entreprit une carrière réussie chez Chevron Canada. Il a toutefois
entretenu ses relations militaires et devint un véritable pilier de la Légion royale canadienne et de
l'Association canadienne des Vétérans Gardiens de la Paix pour les Nations Unies. Bill Johnson a collaboré
sans relàche avec ces deux organismes pour améliorer les avantages offerts aux anciens Casques bleus
arreints d'invalidité.
