The grand opening was later than expected due to a permit issue between the City and the building owner, and the following Saturday the market was closed due to another permit issue. However, the market is now open every Saturday from 9 a.m. - 3 p.m and Sundays from 11 a.m. - 3 p.m. The building is accessible, and there is free parking. Here is a look at some of the vendors and their displays. PHOTOS BY PAULA E.

    Saskatchewan Instructional Development & Research Unit A COMPARATIVE ASSESSMENT OF FOUR ONLINE LEARNING PROGRAMS David Bale March 2005 A Comparative Assessment of Four Online Learning Programs by David Bale, Ph.D. for Keewatin Career Development Corporation (KCDC) Saskatchewan Instructional Development and Research Unit March 2005 ABSTRACT This study examines and compares four on-line learning programs to assess their suitability and potential for meeting the learning needs of First Nations high schools and for upgrading students. The following question is addressed: What types of on-line learning show potential for meeting the unique needs of First Nations Alberta and Saskatchewan learners? A mixed method (both quantitative and qualitative) research approach was used. Particular attention was paid to the appropriateness of the programs for Aboriginal students, Alberta and Saskatchewan curricula congruence, the roles of teachers and facilitators, learner supports and resources, website design features, and potential learning barriers, as well as best practices. Data were gathered while visiting each of the four sites and by telephone interviews and discussions with administrators, staff, students and teachers. Data were also derived from an on-line student questionnaire. The websites of the four schools, and other related documents, were also analyzed. The results of the analysis of the information collected show that many excellent features are built into each program. Some features show potential for meeting First Nations student needs, while others raise issues about their acceptability, some because of inflexibility in their use and others because a purported need is, itself, an issue. Other program options that were not examined in this study may contain additional features that could have the potential of meeting First Nations needs.

  • Social Problems in Canadian Ice Hockey: an Exploration Through Film
    PHYSICAL CULTURE AND SPORT. STUDIES AND RESEARCH DOI: 10.2478/pcssr-2014-0024 Social Problems in Canadian Ice Hockey: An Exploration Through Film Authors’ contribution: Curtis A. Fogel A) conception and design of the study B) acquisition of data Lakehead University Orillia, Canada C) analysis and interpretation of data D) manuscript preparation E) obtaining funding ABSTRACT While celebrated as a highly popular sport in Canada, there are many social problems existing within and around Canadian ice hockey. These problems are often overlooked and rarely depicted in academic and journalistic research on sport. These social problems include, but are not limited to: extreme violence resulting in injuries and death, hazing rituals, multiple types of sexual violence, drug abuse, financial corruption, as well as various forms of prejudice and discrimination. Prompted by pop-cultural depictions in films, this paper further identifies and explores social problems in Canadian ice hockey revealing the realism embedded within various seemingly fictional films. KEYWORDS social problem, violence, sexual violence, drug abuse, injury, death, hazing, exploration through film Introduction Despite not being Canada's most popular sport in terms of spectatorship and participation statistics, ice hockey is Canada's national winter sport and is widely considered to be part of its national identity and character. Internationally, it is the sport that Canada is known for due to its cold winters and international success in events such as the World Junior Hockey Championships and the Olympics. While much is celebrated about hockey in Canada, the sport has many dark sides that are often overlooked, ignored, and forgotten. Journalist Laura Robinson characterizes this with her call to Canadian parents: "if you cherish the young boys in your life, you should keep them away from the game of hockey" (Elien 2010, 1).

  • 1972-1973 New England Whalers
    1972-1973 Coach: Jack Kelley NEW ENGLAND Record: 46-30-2, 94 points. WHALERS Finish: 1st, Eastern Division Playoffs: Won the World Trophy Championship. The Whalers took a more conservative approach to building their club, foregoing the big splashy names and opting for a squad of seasoned pros that gave the Whalers major-league talent and three-line depth. The approach paid significant dividends as the Whalers were the first champions of the World Hockey Association, winning the World Trophy in a five-game battle with Winnipeg. Tom Webster bolted from the California Golden Seals to the Whalers and provided 53 goals and 103 points, while Terry Caffery earned the Rookie-of-the-Year award with 39 goals and 100 points. Larry Pleau and Tim Sheehy also provided 30-goal seasons, leading a balanced attack that produced 318 goals for the season. The defense was anchored by ex-Leafs Rick Ley, Brad Selwood and Jim Dorey, and ex-Bruins Ted Green and Paul Hurley. Al Smith handled the bulk of the goaltending, winning 31 games, and the team was ably coached by former Boston University coach Jack Kelley.

  • Sports Violence As Criminal Assault: Development of the Doctrine by Canadian Courts
    NOTES 'SPORTS VIOLENCE AS CRIMINAL ASSAULT: DEVELOPMENT OF THE DOCTRINE BY CANADIAN COURTS Dramatic and numerous outbreaks of violence among athletes in the past twenty years have drawn public interest and concern in both the United States and Canada.1 The increase in sports violence was of public concern for several reasons; aside from the immediate injuries sustained 1. A recent dramatic incident of sports violence occurred during a November 20, 1986 Na- tional Hockey League (NHL) game between the Boston Bruins and the Montreal Canadiens. Refer- ees ejected eight players and assessed 124 minutes in penalties after a bench-clearing brawl halted play. The brawl spilled over into the corridor behind the Bruins bench, and erupted again on the rampway to the dressing room. N.Y. Times, Nov. 22, 1986, at 16, col. 1. The NHL levied $14,000 in fines against the players. USA Today, Jan. 7, 1987, § C, at 2, col. 3. The president of the Boston City Council reacted to the melee by proposing an ordinance requiring police officers to arrest play- ers who interrupt games with fights. Id. See infra notes 2-3. Notable incidents of sports violence in the United States from earlier years include the 1969 fight between NHL players Ted Green and Wayne Maki, the striking of Dale Hackbart by Charles "Booby" Clark during a 1973 National Football League (NFL) game, a fight between Dave Forbes and Henry Boucha during a 1975 NHL game, and the striking of Rudy Tomjanovich by Kermit Washington during a 1979 National Basketball Association (NBA) game. These incidents stand out because of the prominence of the players involved and the seriousness of their injuries: the Green- Maki fight left Green close to death; Clark's blow caused a neck injury that ended Hackbart's career; Boucha needed twenty-five stitches to close a cut near his eye and surgery to repair a fracture in the floor of the right eye socket; and Tomjanovich suffered nose, jaw, and skull fractures, a brain concus- sion, and leakage of spinal fluid from the brain cavity.

Clarke, Irwin, 1974. 160 pp. $6.25 cloth. ach of the books considered in this review faces a series uf challenges and problems peculiar to its specific purpose and genre; but, taken as a group, they share the problems generally inherent in writing sports books. Team games can themselves be seen as artistic constructs, each one possessing its own medium (ice, playing fields, diamonds) and its own rhetoric (the specific rules and playing techniques). Success is to be found in the degree of skill, originality, and style with which the participants work within the conventions. In literature, success is measured in large part by the writer's handling of words. In hockey, we have physical rather than verbal articulation, and the artistry is seen in the execution of skating, checking, shooting, and passing. These actions cannot finally be translated into words, and when one sets out to write a hockey book, he is really only writing about hockey. He's using one art form, literature, to describe another, sport. Even at best, success in such a writing endeavor will be only partial. Moreover, in a work of fiction, one cannot betray the probabilities of the specific sport for the requirements of fictional conflict and resolution.
