Join us on Tuesday\, June 9\, 2026\, at 6:30 PM in the Sacred Space at Beechwood\, home of the CSIS National Memorial Cemetery at Beechwood for an evening that revisits one of the most overlooked security threats in our nation’s early history. This year’s special event features Phil Gurski\, President and CEO of Borealis Threat and Risk Consulting and former senior strategic analyst with the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS). With decades of experience in national security\, including service with the Communications Security Establishment and Public Safety Canada\, Phil brings a rare operational and analytical perspective to the study of threats\, past and present. Drawing from his new book\, The Fenians: Brotherhood of fools or Canada’s first terrorist threat\, Phil will explore the 19th-century Fenian raids\, an organized campaign by Irish-American militants who sought to pressure Britain by striking at its North American colonies. These incursions\, launched from the United States into what would soon become Canada\, tested colonial defences\, galvanized militia forces\, and played a meaningful role in shaping early Canadian security thinking in the years surrounding Confederation. As Ottawa marks the 200th anniversary of Bytown\, this evening offers a timely look at one of the earliest external threats faced by the young community. The Fenian raids unfolded during a pivotal period when Bytown was evolving into the capital of a new nation. Understanding this chapter helps us better appreciate how security\, resilience\, and national identity were forged in Ottawa’s formative years. Against the reflective setting of Canada’s National Cemetery\, this conversation will connect historic threats to contemporary security realities\, highlighting the continuity of vigilance required to safeguard a nation. Proceeds from this event will support the CSIS National Memorial Cemetery\, ensuring the continued honour and remembrance of those who serve Canada in intelligence and security. Event Details: Date: Tuesday\, June 23\, 2026 Time: 6:30 PM Location: Beechwood National Memorial Centre\, Beechwood Cemetery Secure your place for this compelling evening of history\, strategy\, and remembrance.

Part of Beechwood’s Death Dialogues series\, this conversation continues our commitment to strengthening death and loss literacy in our community. These gatherings create a respectful space where difficult topics surrounding grief\, loss\, and the human experience can be explored openly. The evening will feature Dina Bell-Laroche\, a Certified Thanatologist\, bereavement educator\, author\, and grief doula whose work focuses on helping individuals and communities better understand the many forms grief can take. While many people associate grief with death\, loss can also occur in ways that are less visible. Changes in health\, estranged relationships\, identity shifts\, life transitions\, or the gradual loss that accompanies aging and illness can create profound grief\, even though no death has occurred. During this engaging discussion\, Dina will explore the concept of non-traditional or living losses\, the quiet and often unrecognized forms of grief that people carry. Through practical insights and personal reflection\, she will examine how acknowledging these losses can help individuals move toward understanding\, resilience\, and renewed meaning. At Beechwood\, these conversations are part of a broader effort to normalize dialogue about grief and to strengthen our ability to support one another through life’s most difficult transitions. Whether you are navigating change in your own life\, supporting someone through a difficult period\, or simply seeking to better understand the many dimensions of grief\, this Death Dialogue offers a meaningful opportunity to learn and reflect. Event Details Tuesday\, September 22\, 2026 6:30 p.m. Beechwood National Memorial Centre 280 Beechwood Avenue\, Ottawa Join us for an evening that reminds us that grief does not only follow death\, it also accompanies the many changes that shape our lives.
