Frederick Varley, Tom Thomson, J.E.H MacDonald, Arthur Lismer, Frank Johnston, and Franklin Carmichael would first meet as employees at the design firm Grip Ltd in Toronto. These six men would come together during and after work discussing bold new directions for Canadian Art, they were joined by A.Y Jackson and Lawren Harris in 1913. With the support of Dr. James MacCallum, an artist and university professor, the group raised money to build the Studio Building for Canadian Art in Toronto. It was there that they would create masterpieces as they discovered the distinct light of the Canadian atmosphere and capture it in bold new ways. The production the group was interrupted as they suffered tragedy when Tom Thomson, one of the founding members died in mysterious circumstances; shortly after, some of the members left to serve in the First World War. It was not until 1920 that the Group of Seven officially formed with their first exhibition in Toronto. Once their popularity grew, the artists began to travel Canada capturing what inspired them.

    Twentieth-Century Canadian Law, Psychiatry, and Social Activism in Relation to Pedophiles and Child Sex Offenders

    Twentieth-Century Canadian Law, Psychiatry, and Social Activism in Relation to Pedophiles and Child Sex Offenders By Justin F. Smith Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the MA degree in History University of Ottawa © Justin F. Smith, Ottawa, Canada, 2017 ABSTRACT Twentieth-Century Canadian Law, Psychiatry, and Social Activism in Relation to Pedophiles and Child Sex Offenders Justin Smith Supervisor: University of Ottawa Heather Murray The contemporary conflation of pedophiles and child sex offenders is a prevalent aspect of reporting in news and social media, as well as in government- sponsored efforts to prevent child sexual victimization. Throughout twentieth century Canada, however, legal experts, psychologists and psychiatrists, and social activists were recognizing the harmfulness of grouping individuals who may have a propensity to commit crime with those who have committed the most heinous of criminal acts. As early as 1938, Canadian legal experts suggested that criminal insanity was a myth, advocating for a divergence between legal punishment and psychiatric healthcare, but after World War 2 had enacted serious efforts targeting criminal sexual psychopathy. Successive Royal Commissions investigating sexual victimization and child abuse revealed that Canadian courts, jails, prisons, and remand services were unable to solely deal with the realities of child sexual victimization. Psychologists and psychiatrists of the American Psychological Association increasingly researched sex and sexuality, classifying pedophilia as a paraphilia using child sexual victimization as a diagnostic indicator and criterion. Gay liberation activists discussed inequalities posed between hetero- and homosexual ages of consent and, more rarely, thought about the total abolition of age of consent.

  • Canada's National Ballet School

    Canada's National Ballet School

    Canada’s National Ballet: 50 Years of Evolution by Paula Citron It was clear with the founding of the National Ballet of Canada in 1951 that a future national ballet school was a necessity. Betty Oliphant and Celia Franca are the two remarkable women who co-founded Canada’s National Ballet School in 1959. As Oliphant wrote in her autobiography Miss O: My Life in Dance: “Celia Franca and I knew that a good company needs a good school to feed it.” James Neufeld says in his book Power to Rise: The Story of the National Ballet of Canada: “(Franca) was a teacher of professionals and saw with a teacher’s eye that the raw material before her had to be shaped and trained. Teaching would be the key to the company’s success.” The NBS is commemorating its 50th anniversary this year, and there is much to celebrate. The school is considered among the top professional ballet academies in the world. Just as the Herculean efforts of Oliphant and Franca helped found the school, so have the innovative policies of Oliphant and her chosen successor, Mavis Staines (class of 1972), help raise the school to its lofty perch in the world of dance education. On the recommendation of Dame Ninette de Valois of the Sadler’s Wells Ballet, Franca came from England to Toronto in 1951 to found the National Ballet of Canada. Betty Oliphant, who had arrived from England in 1947 as a war bride, ran a successful ballet school in the city. Oliphant was asked by Franca to become the company’s ballet mistress.

The Canada Council for the Arts is a federal Crown corporation created by an Act of Parliament in 1957 “to foster and promote the study and enjoyment of, and the production of works in, the arts.” The Council offers a broad range of grants (6,168 in 2008-09) and services to professional Canadian artists and arts organizations in music, theatre, writing and publishing, visual arts, dance, media arts and integrated arts. It further seeks to raise public awareness of the arts through its communications, research and arts promo- tion activities. The Council also awards prizes and fellowships every year to ap- proximately 200 artists and scholars. The Canadian Commission for UNESCO and the Public Lending Right Commission operate within the Council. The Canada Council Art Bank, which has some 17,300 works of contemporary Canadian art in its collection, rents to the public and private sectors.
