If books are both windows and mirrors, we have become much better at offering mirrors — allowing kids to find their families, their sexuality, their heritage or skin colour, their abil- ities and their experiences in Canadian children’s literature. But, too often, we forget that finding their “place” in a literal sense is also important. We don’t talk about “place” as much as we talk about the oth- er facets of childhood that we are eager to reflect and present. Perhaps we think it sounds too nationalistic, too limiting or a little old-fashioned — too redolent of Earle Birney’s awkward, unconfident Canada, “a high-school land, dead-set in adoles- cence.” Consequently, “place” is something that gets lost in the shuffle, and it shouldn’t. As a lifelong nationalist, I look back to my childhood — a time of burgeoning Canadian nationalism. We got our own flag; a couple of years later, we rejoiced in our country’s cen- tennial. We enthusiastically celebrated all things Canadian, even though much of our cultural development was in very nascent form. I grew up in a family that prized reading — and with a moth- er who prized Canadian culture and who intensely disliked the attitude that literature or art that came from somewhere else had to be better by its very nature.

The books you read will be used in your English class during the first few weeks of the first trimester. As you read, we urge you to remember that the art of reading is a creative act, a collaboration between reader and writer. Hold a dialogue with these books: question, argue, disagree; underline those passages that exhilarate you as well as those that infuriate you. Keep a notebook to jot down your imme- diate responses to each of these works and write questions that you want to discuss in your English classes. Encourage your family and friends to join you in these reading experiences. A number of the books on this list have been made into movies, many of them wonderful in their own right. Seeing a movie instead of reading the book, however, will not prepare you for your teacher’s assignment related to that book, nor will it replace the unique experience of interacting with a specific text.

  • Inside... IPPL’S Biennial Meeting: Your Passport to Primate Protection! a Letter from IPPL’S Executive Director Shirley Mcgreal
    ISSN-1040-3027, Vol. 39, No. 1 May 2012 ™ News p A free-living long-tailed macaque at the Angkor Wat temple, Cambodia Inside... IPPL’s Biennial Meeting: Your Passport to Primate Protection! A Letter from IPPL’s Executive Director Shirley McGreal Dear IPPL Friend, The three days of this year’s biennial conference at IPPL Headquarters were wonderful days for staff, visiting supporters, speakers, and volunteers. We had gorgeous weather. The grounds looked wonderful, and we had lots of newly-planted trees, shrubs, and flowering plants. It took a while, but finally we lined up a great program with speakers from around the world. Getting visas and tickets was a little more hectic than usual. It was wonderful to meet old friends of IPPL like Edwin Wiek and Ofir Drori, whom I’d met at wildlife conferences. Ofir was very excited that his bookThe Last Great Ape had just been published. After the conference he went to Atlanta, where he appeared on CNN. Edwin Wiek of Thailand was eager to get animals seized in a recent violent raid on his sanctuary by Thai wildlife officials returned. It was a delight to meet Franck Chantereau of the J.A.C.K. Sanctuary (Jeunes Animaux Confisqués au Katanga/Young Animals Confiscated in Katanga). The facility is located in the city of Lubumbashi in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The sanctuary was born of tragedy when fire took the lives of several young chimpanzees. But, rather than give up, Franck and his wife Roxane went on to found an excellent sanctuary with a strong educational component.

  • Lynn Canyon Pay Parking Pilot Project - Council Endorsement
    AGENDA INFORMATION D Regular Meeting Date:--------- □ Other: Date:--------- Dept. Manager The District of North Vancouver REPORT TO COUNCIL January 11,. 2021 File: 11.5210.00/000.000 AUTHOR: Banafsheh Rahmani, PEng, Transportation Engineering SUBJECT: Lynn Canyon Pay Parking Pilot Project - Council Endorsement RECOMMENDATION: THAT the plan for the Lynn Canyon Park Pay Parking Pilot be endorsed by Council for implementation. REASON FOR REPORT: To seek Council endorsement for implementation of the Lynn Canyon Park Pay Parking Pilot Project. SUMMARY: A report to Committee on Lynn Canyon Pay Parking Pilot Project was submitted to Committee of the Whole (CoW) on December 01, 2020. In a December 14, 2020 workshop, CoW recommended the project to be endorsed. The following addresses the Committee's comments received during the December 14, 2020 workshop. The December 01, 2020 Report to Committee is attached as an Appendix to this Report to Council for reference. BACKGROUND: Lynn Canyon Park attracts over a million visitor each year. With growing popularity, the park's parking demand reaches 2,500 vehicles per day during peak summer periods. This volume has resulted in considerable strain not only on park trails, stairs, boardwalks, and supporting amenities, but also on surrounding neighbourhoods from spill-over parking demand. During several recent Council Workshops, including the On-Street Parking Management Strategy Workshop (November 04, 2019), the Parking Policy Workshop (June 22, 2020) and the most recent Lynn Canyon Pay Parking Pilot Workshop (December 14, 2020), the use of pay parking as a DNV Park demand management tool has been discussed and recommended for endorsement by DNV Council.
