“This reception brings us here together from all across the university. President Saini said Dal has entered its third century stronger than ever thanks to the dedication and service of those being honoured. Those who reached milestones in 20 will be recognized next year. “The pandemic prevented us from doing this for two long years.” “It is a privilege to stand here in front of you and to welcome you all finally after a long wait for an opportunity to celebrate these milestones together in person,” said Dal President Deep Saini at the event.

Through it all, she has remained passionate about the work and those she serves. Now in her 47th year at the library, Landry (pictured right with Dal President Deep Saini) works as an archives assistant - helping students, the public, and others meet their research and records needs. Thirty years later, she was still offering her services when the teams amalgamated again in 2005. When Landry got her start at Dal as a secretary to the Killam Memorial Library’s archives and special collections team in 1975, it was just as the unit was undergoing a split into two.
