    Centre de recherche en civilisation canadienne-française (CRCCF)

    Le Centre de recherche en civilisation canadienne-française (CRCCF) (translation: Centre for Research on French Canadian Culture), was founded on 2 October 1958 at the University of Ottawa by four professors of literature: Father Bernard Julien, OMI; Jean Ménard; Réjean Robidoux; and Paul Wyczynski, who was its director for 15 years. They began by organizing the methodical teaching and study of French-Canadian literature at the university level (see French Language Literature). The centre's scope broadened in 1963 to include history and the fine arts, and in 1977 the CRCCF became a multidisciplinary research body.

    Centrosaurus

    Centrosaurus (pronounced cen-troh-sore-us) is a genus of medium-sized, plant-eating, horned dinosaur. It lived between 76.5 and 75.3 million years ago in southern Alberta and southern Saskatchewan. Centrosaurus lived in herds, sometimes reaching hundreds to thousands of animals of all ages. In 1901, Lawrence Lambe discovered a partial Centrosaurus frill along the Red Deer River in Alberta, presumably in the area of modern day Dinosaur Provincial Park. In 1902, he named the specimen Monoclonius dawsoni but renamed it Centrosaurus apertus in 1904. This makes Centrosaurus one of the first ceratopsids (a type of horned dinosaur) and the first centrosaurine (a type of ceratopsid) discovered in Canada.
