  • Project Folder: Honour Without Courage
    Project by Levi Orta Montreal, 2013 In Quebec, 85% of the population rejects the monarchy as a model of representation for Canada; the monarchy justifies itself as a cultural tradition of the country. I am interested in linking the concepts of “representation” in art and “representation” in politics, triggering a perversion of both. The project uses a fictional event where I save the life of a woman disguised as Queen Elizabeth II in order to apply for the “Star of Courage”, a decoration awarded by the representative of the monarchy in Canada by order of the Queen. The whole application process, the proofs of the heroic action, and the expected granting of the medal are part of the project. It is one representation that meets another, the realities of art and politics dissolving into each other and becoming accomplices. … Au Québec, 85% de la population rejette la monarchie comme modèle de représentation du Canada ; la monarchie justifie l’implémentation de ses pratiques comme un sujet de tradition culturelle du pays. Je suis intéressé à lier les concepts de « représentation » dans l’art et de « représentation » dans la politique, afin de provoquer une perversion de ces représentations. Le projet consiste à utiliser un incident fictif lors duquel je sauve la vie d'une femme déguisée en Reine Elizabeth II afin de soumettre ma candidature à la nomination de la « Star of Courage », une décoration décernée par la monarchie canadienne sur ordre de la Reine. Tout le processus d’application, les preuves de l’action héroïque ainsi que l’octroi tant attendu de la médaille font partie du projet.

Department of The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date / Jjtflrs /f<?S~. DE-6 (2/88) f ABSTRACT This study was undertaken to examine in which circumstances archival theory, method and practices may be applied to oral history documents, with regard to appraisal and arrangement and description procedures, and in which circumstances they may not. With the ever increasing quantity of oral history documents being created today, there has been little acknowledgement that oral history collections form a significant portion of archival holdings, and a corresponding lack of archival literature to assist the archivist in dealing with these documents. Oral history documents have often been isolated from any evidence that they form part of the organic and natural activity of a person, organization or institution.

    Chapter Three The Order Comes to Life: Appointments, Refinements and Change His Excellency has asked me to write to inform you that, with the approval of The Queen, Sovereign of the Order, he has appointed you a Member. Esmond Butler, Secretary General of the Order of Military Merit to Corporal R. L. Mailloux, I 3 December 1972 nlike the Order of Canada, which underwent a significant structural change five years after being established, the changes made to the Order of Military U Merit since 1972 have been largely administrative. Following the Order of Canada structure and general ethos has served the Order of Military Merit well. Other developments, such as the change in insignia worn on undress ribbons, the adoption of a motto for the Order and the creation of the Order of Military Merit paperweight, are examined in Chapter Four. With the ink on the Letters Patent and Constitution of the Order dry, The Queen and Prime Minister having signed in the appropriate places, and the Great Seal affixed thereunto, the Order had come into being, but not to life. In the beginning, the Order consisted of the Sovereign and two members: the Governor General as Chancellor and a Commander of the Order, and the Chief of the Defence Staff as Principal Commander and a similarly newly minted Commander of the Order. The first act of Governor General Roland Michener as Chancellor of the Order was to appoint his Secretary, Esmond Butler, to serve "as a member of the Advisory Committee of the Order." 127 Butler would continue to play a significant role in the early development of the Order, along with future Chief of the Defence Staff General Jacques A.

  • A History of Food and Nutrition in Indigenous Communities In
    A History of Food and Nutrition in Indigenous Communities in Canada, 1962-1985 By Krista Walters A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History University of Manitoba Winnipeg, Manitoba Copyright @ 2020 by Krista Walters ABSTRACT This thesis explores the history of food and nutrition in Indigenous communities in mid- to late- twentieth century Canada. It does so through tracing changes in state policies and procedures, as well as Indigenous approaches to foodways, health, and healing from the 1960s into the 1980s. It looks at how the shifting discourses of nutrition and food science impacted educational materials and programs for Indigenous peoples, often aimed at mothers and children in Indigenous communities, and highlights a moment of possibility in the early 1980s when Indigenous peoples were increasingly being consulted on and leading state programs tailored to their communities and their cultures. It aims to privilege the experiences of Indigenous peoples through the choice of sources and attention to Indigenous methodologies. It therefore includes discussion of Indigenous activism and its impact on health and healing, food production and preparation, land use and agriculture, and data collection used for food and nutrition surveys. Central to this dissertation is the concern that Indigenous peoples have been studied, pathologized, and racialized as part of a long history of settler-colonialism in Canada. Many of the state nutrition projects that informed policies and programs during the period were organized and carried out by non-Indigenous experts and their cadres, with a very top-down approach.

  • The Crown in the Provinces: Canada's Compound Monarchy
    THE CROWN IN THE PROVINCES: CANADA’S COMPOUND MONARCHY Michael Jackson and Lynda Haverstock1 Canada: a “compound monarchy” (Smith, D.E., 1995, 12). This succinct phrase by David E. Smith, dean of Canadian scholars of the Crown, neatly sums up a key dimension of the constitutional monarchy in Canada. We contend that the Crown is an institution belonging jointly to the central and provincial governments and that it is crucial to the co-sovereign status of the provinces in Confederation. It is, therefore, of vital interest to the Province of Quebec and holds promise for First Nations’ governance. This aspect of our nation’s constitutional monarchy merits far more examination by scholars and policy-makers than it has received. Attention to the Crown in Canada – and attention there has recently been – has focused primarily on the Office of the Governor General. In part, this stems from a spotlight on the federal vice-regal reserve powers of dissolution and prorogation in 2008 and 2009 (Russell and Sossin, 2009). In addition, there has been debate in the media about the appropriateness of using the term “Head of State” in reference to the Governor General. In most cases, those who call for the end of the monarchy ignore its vital provincial dimension. Few commentators have drawn attention to the provincial Crown and the Lieutenant Governors who embody it; among those few are Michael Valpy and Ian Holloway (Valpy 2009). The present paper will discuss what we call the “provincial Crown” and how it evolved. By doing so, we will make the case that it is integral to how Canada has evolved as a fascinating federation and that to ignore its significance diminishes thoughtful discourse on the nation’s strengths.

  • NEWS RELEASE Commonwealth Speakers and Presiding Officers Conclude Their 25Th Conference in Ottawa
    January 10, 2020 – Ottawa, Ontario For immediate release NEWS RELEASE Commonwealth Speakers and Presiding Officers Conclude Their 25th Conference in Ottawa The Honourable George J. Furey, Speaker of the Senate, and the Honourable Anthony Rota, Speaker of the House of Commons, have brought the 25th Conference of Speakers and Presiding Officers of the Commonwealth (CSPOC) to a close. This biennial conference aims to strengthen parliamentary institutions in Commonwealth countries. Over 180 delegates attended the conference, held in Ottawa January 6 to 9, including 47 speakers and presiding officers, parliamentary staff, and observers from 37 Commonwealth parliaments. Several bicameral legislatures sent delegates from both their upper and lower houses. Another six presiding officers represented Canadian provincial and territorial legislatures. The conference officially opened on Tuesday, January 7, with a blessing by Algonquin Elder Claudette Commanda and a procession of speakers in their ceremonial robes through the Senate Foyer, followed by a welcome address by the Governor General, Her Excellency the Right Honourable Julie Payette, and Speakers Furey and Rota in the Senate Chamber. Delegates attended workshops and plenaries on a range of topics relating to their central role within the parliamentary system, including parliamentary transparency and accountability, supporting effective legislative work, and the issues faced when displacing chambers. CSPOC also staged a special plenary session on inclusiveness as a means of embracing the changing needs of parliaments. “This conference is a vital forum for speakers and presiding officers to build relationships with colleagues across the Commonwealth, while exchanging ideas and best practices,” Speaker Furey said. “The more effective we are in our roles, the stronger debates and parliamentary processes can be, and the more faith our citizens will have in our parliamentary systems.” The 25th conference attracted a diverse contingent, with delegates arriving from every continent represented in the Commonwealth.
