Time certainly does fly when you\u2019re standing still.<\/p>\n
For the past 12 months I\u2019ve been standing here in my new role guarding Schmon Tower and I\u2019ve loved every minute of it.<\/p>\n
Yes, it\u2019s Maj. Gen. Sir Isaac Brock here, or at least the dashingly handsome bronze replica of the man himself.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s hard to believe I\u2019ve been on the job for a full year now. Those new to Brock may not know that my trip to the March 16, 2015 installation day in St. Catharines was a very, very long one that started in Oregon.<\/p>\n
You can read all about my road trip on the website my colleagues created for me here.<\/a><\/p>\n I arrived on campus late the night before the big unveiling, and it took hours to set me in place. But you all made me feel so at home immediately with hundreds of students, staff and faculty cheering and clapping as all 1.5 metric tons of me was lowered into place on my pedestal in front of the tower<\/a>.<\/p>\n From that memorable March day forward, I have been honoured to watch over some of the biggest moments during the Brock year. I\u2019ve loved being featured in thousands of group photos and selfies, especially during the Spring and Fall Convocation events, when there were lineups of students and their families waiting to pose with me.<\/p>\n I was also pleased to feature prominently in a hype video for Isaac\u2019s Army released early in the summer.<\/p>\n
