About Us A Message from the IABC/Toronto President As new communications channels continue to appear and develop, communicators are required to work harder to deliver concise messages to audiences and make them stand out. This year’s OVATION Awards theme “Show Your Colours!” reflects the challenge we face as communicators to be heard in a crowded media landscape. In a record‐breaking year for OVATION award submissions, these winners being recognized tonight delivered outstanding communication programs which met this challenge head‐on with strategic and innovative thinking. Each winning entry demonstrated to the judges the unique challenge of the project, the team’s meticulous thought process and the creativity of their solutions. Of course, this program would not be possible without all of the hard work of numerous volunteers. A huge debt of gratitude is due to the IABC/Toronto members who have spent hundreds of hours to put on the OVATION program, especially Katie O’Dell, VP of Awards and Cyrus Mavalwala ABC, VP of Accreditation & Standards. Katie has been leading a large team of volunteers since September to ensure the program’s success. Cyrus organized a team of senior communication professionals who offered their weekends and evenings to carefully review and judge the entries. The efforts of all of these volunteers continue to strengthen and enrich the program. We also owe a big thank you to our sponsors: News Canada, The Canadian Press Images, CNW Group, Cision, and Fusion Design Group Inc. Your contributions and support are sincerely appreciated. On behalf of IABC/Toronto, I congratulate all the 2012 OVATION Award winners. We will all be cheering you on tonight as you Show Your Colours! Trell Huether President, IABC/Toronto A Message from the OVATIONS Awards Organizers The IABC/Toronto OVATION Awards recognize the high standard of excellence found in the Greater Toronto Area communications community. Each year we are amazed by the creativity and professionalism demonstrated by the entries. This year’s theme – Show Your Colours! – is reflective of some of the outstanding talent we’ve seen. Tonight, we celebrate OVATION Award winners, the Bobbie Resnick Philanthropy Award winner and the Student of the Year Award winner. We also celebrate the success of IABC/Toronto, the world’s largest IABC chapter. We can say with great confidence that the work being honoured tonight not only celebrates the best in our local area, but some of the finest creative communications in the world. This year, we saw a record number of OVATION entries. It is with sincere gratitude that we acknowledge all of the entrants, judges, advisors, sponsors and volunteers who were involved with the 2012 IABC/Toronto OVATION Awards. We would especially like to thank our judges who spent countless hours poring over this year’s submissions, as well as Daniella Girgenti, Karen Madho and Sacha Vaz for all their help on the ground. We also owe thanks to an amazing team of Awards volunteers led by directors Kate Blackwell, Sheena Campbell, Suzanna Cohen, ABC, Aarathi Edward, Beverly Fairclough, Katherine Kolenchuk, Steven Mills, Jill Noble, Juliet Paul‐Kamanu and Elizabeth Pek. Your creativity, enthusiasm and hard work have gone a long way to make the entire OVATION Awards program a success. We’d also like to extend our gratitude to this year’s sponsors for their support: NewsCanada, The Canadian Press Images, CNW Group, Cision and Fusion Design Group. We invite you to sit back, raise your glass, and laugh at the comedic antics of Second City’s Lee Smart in celebration of the 2012 IABC/Toronto OVATION Awards.

    Planning for Age-Friendly Cities: Towards a New Model

    Planning For Age-Friendly Cities: Towards a New Model by John A. Colangeli A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In Planning Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2010 John A. Colangeli 2010 I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. John Angelo Colangeli ii Abstract This dissertation examines the potential for professional/community planning to respond pro- actively and strategically to the impending demographic changes which will be brought about by the aging of the baby boom generation. This multi-phased investigation was designed to explore whether professional planning could uncover models and concepts which can be used to make cities and communities more age-friendly. Several conclusions can be drawn from the study. It was found that planners are not ready for demographic change nor are they prepared for helping create age-friendly cities. This is due to several reasons, including a lack of resources forcing them to concentrate on short-term, immediate issues; lack of power and credibility; and a perception that the elderly are a lower priority in society. For planners to become proactive and strategic in planning for age-friendly cities, they will need to re-examine their tendency to focus mainly on land use planning; focus on the long-term agenda; establish credibility with politicians; develop visionary skills; and become educators and facilitators, engaging key stakeholders and community groups.

EMlstma Honner ii The Teaches of Peaches: Rethinking the Sex Hierarchy and the Limits of Gender Discourse Christina Bonner Master of Arts, Program in Communication and Culture Ryerson and York University 2010 Abstract: The goal of this Major Research paper is an exploration detailing how Canadian Electro-Pop artist Peaches Nisker transcends nonnative gender and sex politics through perfonnance and frames the female erotic experience in a way that not only disempowers heterosexuality but also provides a broader more inclusive sexual politics. Through this analysis I focus specifically on three distinct spheres; perfonnance, fandom and use of technology to argue that her critique of sexual conventions provides an cxpansive and transgressive new defmition of female sexuality. Musical perfonnances by female artists, particularly icons such as Madonna and Britney Spears, have demonstrated popular culture's inability to legitimize quecr and non­ compulsory heterosexual practices.

    For the Love of It?: Zine Writing and the Study Of

    FOR THE LOVE OF IT?: ZINE WRITING AND THE STUDY OF CONTEMPORARY AMATEUR WORK A Dissertation by EMILY SARA HOEFLINGER Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Mary Ann O’Farrell Committee Members, Sally Robinson Giovanna Del Negro Joan Wolf Head of Department, Maura Ives May 2016 Major Subject: English Copyright 2016 Emily Sara Hoeflinger ABSTRACT In this project, I am examining zines in relation to the question of contemporary amateurism. With the onset of Web 2.0 came a space for new forms of amateur work, but this new work hasn’t been addressed as “amateur,” which has revealed a problem between what theorists know the amateur to be and what has been embraced by mainstream culture. This oversimplification of the definition of amateurism seems to threaten the integrity of amateur work in general. I analyze the concepts “transparency” and “distance” and show that both highlight the need for preserving the amateur. I confront the notion of “for the love it” by interrogating the boundaries that zine writers have established and the misperception that zine work somehow remains on the fringe of capitalist culture. Moreover, I identify the Pro Am (professional amateur) as the most significant contemporary amateur figure because it directly challenges not only what it means to be professional, but also what it means to be amateur. By examining perzines and glossies, I argue that while “for the love of it” has been downplayed or even ignored, internal rewards are still an important factor in what makes an act amateur and that external rewards don’t always have to be monetary.

    War on the Air: CBC-TV and Canada's Military, 1952-1992 by Mallory

    War on the Air: CBC-TV and Canada’s Military, 19521992 by Mallory Schwartz Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctorate in Philosophy degree in History Department of History Faculty of Arts University of Ottawa © Mallory Schwartz, Ottawa, Canada, 2014 ii Abstract War on the Air: CBC-TV and Canada‘s Military, 19521992 Author: Mallory Schwartz Supervisor: Jeffrey A. Keshen From the earliest days of English-language Canadian Broadcasting Corporation television (CBC-TV), the military has been regularly featured on the news, public affairs, documentary, and drama programs. Little has been done to study these programs, despite calls for more research and many decades of work on the methods for the historical analysis of television. In addressing this gap, this thesis explores: how media representations of the military on CBC-TV (commemorative, history, public affairs and news programs) changed over time; what accounted for those changes; what they revealed about CBC-TV; and what they suggested about the way the military and its relationship with CBC-TV evolved. Through a material culture analysis of 245 programs/series about the Canadian military, veterans and defence issues that aired on CBC-TV over a 40-year period, beginning with its establishment in 1952, this thesis argues that the conditions surrounding each production were affected by a variety of factors, namely: (1) technology; (2) foreign broadcasters; (3) foreign sources of news; (4) the influence

    Press Release Contains "Forward-Looking Statements"

    Tuesday, August 18, 2020 ZoomerMedia Limited Announces Close of Sale of Assets of Darwin CX Inc. (Toronto, Canada – August 18, 2020) Further to its media release dated May 18, 2020, ZoomerMedia Limited (“ZoomerMedia”) (TSXV: ZUM) is pleased to announce that it has closed the agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) for the sale of substantially all of the assets (“Darwin Assets”) of ZoomerMedia’s wholly-owned subsidiary Darwin CX Inc. (“Darwin”), ZoomerMedia’s proprietary subscription and membership management platform, to New York–based Irish Studio LLC (“Irish Studio”). The purchase price was $7,465,000 (CAD), consisting of $700,000 (CAD) received concurrently on signing of the Purchase Agreement, and $5,386,000 (CAD) in cash and a $1,280,000 promissory note of Irish Studio, subject to customary post-closing adjustments, which were received by ZoomerMedia on the closing date. “ZoomerMedia committed significant resources to creating Darwin in a space that hasn’t seen innovation in decades, so it’s not surprising that it developed into a competitive software platform in a short period of time. Darwin naturally complements Irish Studio's core business and they are better positioned to invest the additional resources necessary for long-term growth. The sale price is in line with our expectations, fetches good value for ZML shareholders, strengthens ZML's financial position, and allows us to focus our energy on growing our core media businesses focused on Canada’s 45plus demographic,” said ZoomerMedia Founder and CEO Moses Znaimer. The Special Relationship between ZoomerMedia and Darwin will not end with the sale. ZoomerMedia Chief Digital Officer and Darwin co-founder Omri Tintpulver will sit on Darwin’s Advisory Board, and the company’s operations will continue to be based at ZoomerMedia’s headquarters in Toronto’s Liberty Village for now.
