Footnotes

Editors’ Note: The Board of Editors was deeply saddened to learn of the passing, in April 2018, of Professor Donat Pharand, a founding member of the Board and past Associate Editor of the Yearbook (1974–82, vols 12–20). Le Comité est très reconnaissant à la professeure Suzanne Lalonde, qui avait collaboré étroitement avec le professeur Pharand, d’avoir rédigé ce court hommage à sa vie et son œuvre.

15 Pharand was very proud, and rightly so, of a map of the Canadian Arctic archipelago that he devised in the late 1980s with engineering students at the University of Ottawa. Using small lights, Pharand could highlight the main route through the Northwest Passage (including red and green lights at the entrances to the passage). Pharand could also light up the Canadian Arctic baselines and the outer limit of Canada’s exclusive economic zone on his map.
