In fact, the theatre's philosophy "is to produce new plays written by Canadians and to reflect the sensibilities of Canadians with special emphasis on the prairie region." The prairie theme has been dramatized by a number of shows including JAKOB KEPP, "the tragic story of a Saskatchewan farming family in the 1950sW, PRAIRIE PSALMS, a story about Saskatchewan's religious heritage, THE flUEEN'S COWBOY, which is based on a diary of William Parker, a North West Mounted Police Officer in the 1880s, and DONTCHA KNOW THE NORTH WIND AND YOU IN MY HAIR!, a Cree Indian love story. But the most important play to win national acclaim was PAPER WHEAT, the story of the farmers ' movement. 25th Street Theatre has produced more than 60 plays and sponsored or co-produced many others, including 21 contemporary Canadian hits. Many of these have been produced for staging by other professional theatres, or have been produced in other media i.e. radio, television, book, film and album. The University of Saskatchewan Library obtained the 25th Street Theatre material in the fall of 1985. The material is housed in the Special Collections Department of the Library. Professor Diane Bessai of the English Department at the University of Alberta assisted in developing a method to catalogue the 25th Street Theatre collection. Upon her 2 catalogue the 25th street Theatre collection. Upon her recommendation, it has been decided to arrange the material according to the season, which usually ran from September to April, with the summer tours between May and August. In most cases each season will have a list and possibly a description of playscripts, programs, posters, pictures, publicity releases, reviews, correspondence etc. However, there are a number of exceptions because of the lack of material. The seasons covering the period 1972 to 1978 and 1984 to 1986 are very sparse. PAPER WHEAT is an exception, however. Because of the large amount of material associated with this play, it has been decided to keep it as one sub-collection. It also has been decided to keep the Board of Directors minutes and the financial records in their respective chronological series. The resumes of actors, directors and technicians have been kept as one file. In the case of the actors, the names have been filed alphabetically. The material pertaining to other theatres, to various government agencies and organizations and to non-25th Street Theatre publications has not been filed according to season. Separate files have been set up for these items. Dianne Bessai drafted a calendar of the 25th Street Theatre productions which follows. Additions have been made where appropriate. OBJECTIVES Twenty-Fifth Street House Theatre exists as a professional theatre, in Saskatoon, for the production of original plays and the development of drama that grows out of or reflects our prairie region and our life and times. We oelieve that new theatrical entertainments have an important place in our community in stimulating an understanding of ourselves and our traditions. The production of new theatrical entertainments is a viable and marketable entertainment commodity.

    Date : 03/07/2008 LIBRARY SERVICES FOR SASKATCHEWAN ABORIGINAL PEOPLES “BEST PRACTICES IN LIBRARY SERVICES FOR ABORIGINAL PEOPLES IN SASKATCHEWAN” Deborah Lee Indigenous Studies Portal Librarian, University of Saskatchewan, Canada And Deirdre Crichton Parkland Regional Library System, Canada Meeting: 118. Library Services to Multicultural Populations Simultaneous Interpretation: Not available WORLD LIBRARY AND INFORMATION CONGRESS: 74TH IFLA GENERAL CONFERENCE AND COUNCIL 10-14 August 2008, Québec, Canada http://www.ifla.org/IV/ifla74/index.htm Abstract: This paper combines the accomplishments of library staff across Saskatchewan providing quality library services and collections to Aboriginal peoples, not only in public and academic library settings but also in the virtual realm. Highlights include examples of institutional and governmental support, meaningful services, integration of cultural knowledge, values and events into the world of libraries, literacy initiatives, varying aspects of collection development policies (including respectful access to collections), Aboriginal storytelling, and partnerships (such as those involving digitization projects). INTRODUCTION: It is an honor for me to acknowledge the traditional Indigenous people of this land, the Huron people, for their roles and contributions to the history of Quebec City and this part of the world. I would also like to acknowledge the assistance of Phyllis Lerat and Suzy Bear, both of whom are librarians at the First Nations University of Canada, in writing this paper. In addition, I would also like to honor the commitment of LSSAP members to their library users and for their contributions to the global group of Indigenous librarians via the International 2 Indigenous Librarians Forum which takes place every two years, one of which was hosted by the LSSAP group in Regina in 2005.

  • 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

    EARTHBOUND to EYES WEST Earthbound Sun 1:00-1:30 p.m., 6 Jun-19 Sep 1982 A half-hour, Sunday aftertoon, summer series, Earthbound examined questions of the country's resources and related industries and the environment. Producer Jane du Broy drew from material originating in different regions to explore problems such as the failure of Canada's forest industry to compete in foreign markets, the revitalization of the fisheries industries in the Atlantic provinces, the debate over grain transportation costs and their effects on the western provinces, and the comparative prices of oil in Canada and the U.S.A. The host of Earthbound was Fred Langer. The show's executive producer was Robert Petch.

Snetsinger's hand puppet pal, Foster, led them through the building's sliding panels into secret passages. They all enjoyed themselves by making up secret societies, by inventing and building gadgets, with music led by singer and guitarist McCurdy, and with games. They also invited friends, such as jugglers and acrobats, to come down to their place from upstairs and perform. John Kennedy produced Ed and Ross in Toronto. Ed McCurdy and Ross Snetsinger and Foster were all well known to the CBC's young television audiences.

  • HIST 5222 Topics in Canadian Social History Fall 2014 Antimodernism, Modernism, and Postmodernism in Twentieth-Century Canadian Culture
    HIST 5222 Topics in Canadian Social History Fall 2014 Antimodernism, Modernism, and Postmodernism in Twentieth-Century Canadian Culture This year’s version of HIST 5222 can be organized in two ways. There are currently 11 undergrads enrolled in HIST 4222; there is an additional undergrad who will be taking it as a GWST credit. Also, others have expressed interest in the course, but are “shopping around,” as Dalhousie undergrads do. HIST 4222 is scheduled for Mondays, 10:35-1:25. If the final numbers shrink, graduate students can join the undergraduate version without any quality- based questions arising. If, however, undergrad demands remains high, and depending on graduate interest, it may be more productive to have a second version of the class, with the graduate students & a few undergrads with similar research interests. In terms of the graduate workload, greater than that of the undergraduate version: 1. The case study essay is to be approximately 3000 words (10 pages, with footnotes) in length. 2. The research essay is to be approximately 6000 words (20 pages, with footnotes) in length. 3. Finally, each graduate student will be assigned two additional articles, agreed to by the student and instructor after consultation. Interested students are asked to email me, [email protected], between Friday, Sept 4th, and Sunday, Sept 6th, so that I can assess demand before Monday’s first meeting. Once we have decided on the final format of HIST 5222, I will draw up an official syllabus with proper meeting dates.

Without our Elders, authors, educators, illustrators, musicians, and translators, GDI would not be able to produce such a varied and high- calibre complement of Métis-specific resources. As a proud Métis publisher, owned and operated by Saskatchewan’s Métis community, we would like to show our gratitude to all those who have given their invaluable cultural knowledge and creativity towards the production of our resources. They are: Anne (née Carrière) Acco, now living in Laval, Québec, is originally from Cumberland House, Saskatchewan— the province’s oldest settlement. A Métis/Cree community, Cumberland House has produced a rich and vibrant culture based on its Swampy Cree (“N” dialect) language and adherence to traditional lifeways— including trapping and canoeing. This rich cultural life has greatly impacted Anne’s writing, and her life as a thinker, and an educator. Vince Ahenakew has been an educator for almost a quarter century. He has taught in Beauval and Ile-à-la Crosse, Saskatchewan, and has been an administrator for ten years. He is a graduate of the Northern Teacher Education Program in northern Saskatchewan, and is currently enrolled in a Masterʼs program through the University of Saskatchewan. He was raised by his grandmother, and would like to dedicate his resources to her memory and to all Elders. Gilbert Anderson was born in 1934. He comes from a large musical family and inherited a couple of family fiddles. He was always around Métis music, and continues to teach and promote fiddle and dance through the Edmonton Métis Cultural Dancers programs.
