Georgian unveils Major-General Richard Rohmer Roundabout space

Georgian College has unveiled the name of a new roundabout space on campus that recognizes Second World War veteran Major-General Richard Rohmer. Barrie News and CTV News describe Rohmer—who served in the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) and the Royal Canadian Naval Reserve—as Canada’s most decorated veteran. The Major-General Richard Rohmer Roundabout encircles the cenotaph at Georgian’s Barrie Campus; it is intended to help Canadian Armed Forces members see themselves at the college. “It means a tremendous amount [as a military-connected college] to have a living legend and truly a Canadian hero, to have his name permanently installed on the Barrie campus of Georgian College,” said Georgian President Kevin Weaver.
