University of Northern British Columbia graduate, Lydia Kinasewich, came to the University of Guelph in 2024 to pursue an MA in food history focusing on dairy policy in B. C. Her final project looked into "the history of milk pasteurization policies in British Columbia and consumer resistance to milk pasteurization during the second half of the twentieth century."

Elizabeth Spence graduated in September 2025 with an MA in History from Wilfrid Laurier University. She received a gold medal for academic excellence as one of the top Master's students in a research-intensive or professional master's program. To meet the reward requirements, Elizabeth surpassed the minimum GPA with an 11.75 (A+), a minimum of A- in any course, and her examination committee commended her research paper as outstanding.

Elizabeth's Major Research Paper examined the development of the Pine Point lead-zinc mine in the Northwest Territories as a case study in postwar northern expansion, infrastructure development, and Cold War–era Canadian nationalism.
