Levesque also modernized the regulations of the Memorial Cross (commonly known as the ‘Silver Cross’) that had not been changed since its creation in 1919. With the arrival of the war in Afghanistan and the death of Captain Nichola Goddard in 2006, the regulations required substantive amendments that would reflect the fabric of today’s modern family. Levesque proposed and received government approvals to increase the number of crosses from two to three and the awarding was no longer to be based on consanguinity but was now up to individual members to designate up to three recipients of their choice.

André M. Levesque

Lieutenant-Colonel André M. Levesque OMM KStJ OOnt CD PhD FRSA (born 1959 in Ottawa, Ontario) is a historian, geographer, former public servant and retired Canadian military officer.

Background

Levesque was born and raised in Ottawa, Ontario. His early studies were in urban and economic geography and completed a bachelor’s [1] and master’s [2] [3] degree at Carleton University in Ottawa. He later obtained a doctorate [4] in history at University College Cork – National University of Ireland, located in Cork. During his military and civilian careers, he developed expertise in the areas of history, heritage, commemoration, and recognition.

Military career

Levesque was a member of the Canadian Armed Forces Army Reserves for 35 years (1974-2008). He initially served with the Governor General’s Foot Guards. [5] and later, with the Cameron Highlanders of Ottawa (Duke of Edinburgh’s Own) and retired from the Public Affairs Branch in 2008 at the rank of lieutenant-colonel.

While working with the Department of National Defence's Directorate of History and Heritage, he was the project manager responsible for planning and implementing the repatriation of Canada's Unknown Soldier and organizing national commemorative ceremonies at both Vimy, France, and Ottawa, Ontario, in May 2000. He was also the project manager responsible for creating Canada’s own National Military Cemetery located at Beechwood Cemetery, Ottawa, which was dedicated on June 28, 2001, by Governor General Adrienne Clarkson[6].

Levesque led a nation-wide partnership between the Organization of Military Museums of Canada (OMMC), Department of National Defence, Veterans Affairs Canada, as well as schools, youth, and veterans organizations across Canada to compile a detailed list of military monuments and plaques located across the country [7]. After three years of research, this volunteer group created a ‘National Inventory of Canadian Military Memorials’ website that was launched on April 2, 2001 [8]. The website, originally located with OMMC, was later transferred to the Department of Veterans Affairs. Renamed the Canadian Military Memorials Database, it has more than 8,200 memorials listed.

In 2001, at the request of Chief of the Defence Staff General Maurice Baril, Levesque was asked to re-establish a Canadian Forces Artist Program [9]. He reconfigured the program to include a newly formed advisory committee [10] that included representation from various organizations such as the Canada Council for the Arts, the National Gallery of Canada, Library and Archives Canada, the Canadian War Museum as well as independent artists and renowned Canadians. He created a pilot project that sent artists overseas, including Afghanistan, as well as to military facilities and training areas throughout Canada. Unveiled on June 6 (D-Day) 2001, the program continues to be very successful. So far, eight groups of artists [11] have held an exhibition at the Canadian War Museum and some of the best works of art are selected to be part of their permanent collection.

Civilian career

In his civilian career, he worked in urban planning and economic development with the City of Ottawa from 1986 to 1998. In 2001, he joined the Public Service of Canada to become a Senior Communications Advisor managing the Canadian Forces Parliamentary Program within the Department of National Defence. In 2002, he became Chief, of Canadian Forces Honours and Awards, and four years later, he was appointed as the Canadian Armed Forces’ first Director Honours and Recognition. During his tenure, he took on a leadership role in developing comprehensive policies that changed the way how members of the defence team were to be recognized while serving in overseas operations[12]. Levesque served on many policy and advisory committees, such as the Government Honours Policy Sub-Committee,[13] [14]the Canadian Decorations Advisory Committee (Bravery), the National Diamond Jubilee Advisory Committee, and Secretary of the Advisory Committee and Advisory Council for the Order of Military Merit from 2002 to 2013[15]. Most notably, he was also chair of the Victoria Cross Production Planning Group[16] which was responsible for manufacturing[17] Canada’s highest decoration for military gallantry in the Canadian Honours System. Over eleven years, he oversaw the awarding of more than 200,000 awards to Canadians.

Levesque also modernized the regulations of the Memorial Cross (commonly known as the ‘Silver Cross’) that had not been changed since its creation in 1919[18]. With the arrival of the war in Afghanistan and the death of Captain Nichola Goddard in 2006, the regulations required substantive amendments that would reflect the fabric of today’s modern family. Levesque proposed and received government approvals to increase the number of crosses from two to three and the awarding was no longer to be based on consanguinity but was now up to individual members to designate up to three recipients of their choice[19].

From 2013 to 2016, Levesque was Director General of Commemoration at Veterans Affairs Canada in Charlottetown, PEI, where he organized national and international programs and events marking the 100th anniversary of the First World War and the 75th anniversary of the Second World War[20]. Working with the French government, he successfully led a joint effort[21] to award and present the Legion of Honour to more than 1,400 Canadian veterans who liberated France during the Second World War[22]. In 2016, he returned to Ottawa to work as a visiting scholar at the Royal Military College of Canada and retired from public service in 2019. On 21 May 2020, André Levesque was appointed as a member and designated as chair of the Ontario Honours Advisory Council by the Government of Ontario[23].

In August 2014, he founded the International Society for Commemoration, Memorials, and other Monuments – a non-profit learning organization composed of academics, professionals, students, and others worldwide. In Levesque’s doctoral thesis, he established ‘memorialogy’ as a new interdisciplinary field of study that combines the study of memorials and associated commemorative practices[24].

In June 2020, Levesque was elected as Deputy Chancellor[25] of St. John Ambulance in Canada and of the Priory of Canada of the Most Venerable Order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem (Order of St. John). There are about 15,000 Canadians who volunteer their time supporting the Order’s charitable foundation.
