As spring begins to bloom in southern Ontario, thousands of students from across the University of Toronto’s three campuses are preparing to close their laptops, don gowns and hoods – and walk across the stage in Convocation Hall. 

This year, there will be a total of 34 ceremonies, beginning with U of T Scarborough on June 3 and wrapping up with Rotman Commerce on June 20.

Today, Historica Canada released a new Heritage Minute, recognizing the legacy of Canada’s Bora Laskin, 14th Chief Justice of Canada (1973-1984), which the iconic Victor Garber portrays. He was the first Jewish member of the Supreme Court when appointed to Canada’s highest bench in 1970.
