Now my mission is to be an advocate for women and children trapped by domestic violence. When I speak to women at the shelter, I find it very moving – I used to have that same look on my face. For my daughter and me, our own determination and strength were crucial. But without help from the community, we could not have transformed from victims to victors.” – HAYDEE, BURNABY, BC 5 HOW WE’RE STOPPING VIOLENCE We fund programs that help women rebuild their lives after escaping vio- lence, as well as emergency shelters that help women move out of violence. The programs we fund provide the compassionate and expert resources women need to help end the cycle of violence and to create healthy environments for themselves and their children. Our work impacts the most marginalized and high-need women across Canada. We also make multi-year investments in Teen Healthy Relationships programs in communities across Canada. These school-based programs are a key component to our violence prevention strategy, by teaching teenagers to recognize and prevent abusive behaviour.

  • Youth, Teens and Mental Health
    Youth, teens and mental health Condition Report: It’s no secret the emotions and actions of youth and teenagers can be a dizzying array of ups, downs, quirks and contradictions. But, where mood swings, tantrums, and dramatic phases do constitute what have always been accepted as a normal part of growing up, there are notable instances when shifts in mood and behaviour may be indicators of a larger, more daunting issue: mental illness. Children And Mental Health Disorders: Of these, anxiety disorders most commonly affect children and The Challenges They Face teens, with six percent experiencing them at some point.1,2 Suicide, the most concerning of mental health issues, is the number one As adults, it may be difficult to imagine children suffering from non-accidental cause of death among Canadian youth. The such difficult challenges, yet child psychiatrist, Dr. Jean Clinton, Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) reported that a worries the number of young people today experiencing mental shocking five percent of youth attempted suicide in the past year, health problems is on the rise. The statistics do paint a striking while another 12% had given suicide serious thought.3 Without portrait: close to 20 percent – one in five – young people are question, our youth and teens are facing stressors and pressures in actively dealing with a mental health issue.1 These include: their lives which are manifesting in ways that go well beyond the • Anxiety disorders often inconsequential “growing pains”. • Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) Just as concerning, only one in four will get the help they need.2,4 • Bipolar disorder This can create a disruptive ripple effect: the mental illness itself makes its way into the daily fabric, relationships, academics and • Conduct disorder physical health of the child.

  • Budget Speech 1
    BUDGET SPEECH 1 Introduction All across Ontario today, small business owners, entre- preneurs, and private-sector investors are creating jobs. Jobs for welders and store clerks; for child care workers and truck drivers; for factory workers and software designers; for scientists, technicians and machinists. Companies large and small are investing and expanding. Today, taxes are lower; the deficit is being reduced; welfare recipients are returning to work; taxpayers’ money is being spent more wisely; and major investments are being made in health care and in our children’s classrooms. In the first quarter of 1998, Ontario experienced a rate of job growth unprecedented in the past 15 years, and I am proud to say that, between February 1997 and February 1998, more jobs were created in Ontario than have ever been created in a one-year period in the entire history of our province. Today, Ontarians have a renewed confidence; a renewed optimism in our future. Today, Ontarians believe, as do we, that our province is once again the best place in the world to live, work and invest. In my Budget last year I spoke of laying the foundations so that young people like my daughter Natalie and her generation could reach their full potential in a greater, stronger Ontario. This Budget builds on those foundations through more tax cuts, additional improvements in health care, support for children, initiatives for safer communities, and investments in learning. I want to extend my personal thanks to my good friend Premier Harris and my colleagues in the House for their guidance and counsel.

  • Of Logos, Owners, and Cultural Intermediaries: Defining an Elit
    Of Logos, Owners, and Cultural Intermediaries: Defining an Elite Discourse in Re-branding Practices at Three Private Canadian Television Stations Christopher Ali University of Pennsylvania ABSTRACT This article explores the relationship between local television stations and na - tional networks through a careful study of station re-branding. The relationship is explored through case studies of the three privately owned English-speaking television stations in Win - nipeg, Canada. Through in-depth interviews with station and network executives, the author investigates the critical factors that facilitated the re-branding of Canada’s private television networks between 1997 and 2005. This period saw many English-speaking television networks unite their respective affiliate stations under a single logo and brand. Influenced by branding theory and scholarship on Canadian broadcasting, this article examines the shift away from local identification in Canadian broadcasting and the benefits, challenges, and resistances therein. KEYWORDS Canadian broadcasting; Local television; History of broadcasting; Branding RÉSUMÉ Cet article explore le rapport entre les stations de télévision locales et les réseaux nationaux au moyen d’un examen méticuleux des changements de marque des stations. Pour ce faire, l’auteur a mené des études de cas sur les trois stations de télévision privées de langue anglaise à Winnipeg, Manitoba. En se fondant sur des entretiens en profondeur avec des cadres de stations et de réseaux, l’auteur explore les facteurs critiques qui ont permis les changements de marque des réseaux de télévision privés au Canada entre 1997 et 2005. C’est durant cette période que plusieurs réseaux de télévision anglophones ont uni leurs stations affiliées respectives sous la bannière d’un seul sigle et d’une seule marque.
