This has resulted in some overlap between the series. Although there are both GENERAL CORRESPONDENCE (pp. 10-22) and GOVERNOR GENERAL: CORRESPONDENCE (pp. 22-31) series which contain Roland Michener's correspondence with various individuals, there are also correspondence files in GOVERNOR GENERAL: SUBJECT FILES (pp. 60-64) and SUBJECT FILES (pp. 86-99). The POLITICS (pp. 73-82) and INDIA (pp. 64-73) series also have correspondence files. Researchers who are looking for correspondence with a specific individual are cautioned to examine the file titles in these other series. The GOVERNOR GENERAL: SUBJECT FILES and SUBJECT FILES series were created by the archivist. The GOVERNOR GENERAL: SUBJECT FILES relate only to activities or interests which grew out of Roland Michener's position as Governor General. The SUBJECT FILES series contains material about all other activities and interests that are not part of another series. Documents found in the following series: i. GOVERNOR GENERAL: CORRESPONDENCE ii. GOVERNOR GENERAL: DUTIES iii. GOVERNOR GENERAL: SPEECHES iv. GOVERNOR GENERAL: SUBJECT FILES include not only documents related to Roland Michener while he was Governor General, but also to documents generated after his retirement. These documents illustrate the continuation of Roland Michener's interests which often spanned several decades and overlapped his public career and his private life.

  • Project Folder: Honour Without Courage
    Project by Levi Orta Montreal, 2013 In Quebec, 85% of the population rejects the monarchy as a model of representation for Canada; the monarchy justifies itself as a cultural tradition of the country. I am interested in linking the concepts of “representation” in art and “representation” in politics, triggering a perversion of both. The project uses a fictional event where I save the life of a woman disguised as Queen Elizabeth II in order to apply for the “Star of Courage”, a decoration awarded by the representative of the monarchy in Canada by order of the Queen. The whole application process, the proofs of the heroic action, and the expected granting of the medal are part of the project. It is one representation that meets another, the realities of art and politics dissolving into each other and becoming accomplices. … Au Québec, 85% de la population rejette la monarchie comme modèle de représentation du Canada ; la monarchie justifie l’implémentation de ses pratiques comme un sujet de tradition culturelle du pays. Je suis intéressé à lier les concepts de « représentation » dans l’art et de « représentation » dans la politique, afin de provoquer une perversion de ces représentations. Le projet consiste à utiliser un incident fictif lors duquel je sauve la vie d'une femme déguisée en Reine Elizabeth II afin de soumettre ma candidature à la nomination de la « Star of Courage », une décoration décernée par la monarchie canadienne sur ordre de la Reine. Tout le processus d’application, les preuves de l’action héroïque ainsi que l’octroi tant attendu de la médaille font partie du projet.

Department of The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date / Jjtflrs /f<?S~. DE-6 (2/88) f ABSTRACT This study was undertaken to examine in which circumstances archival theory, method and practices may be applied to oral history documents, with regard to appraisal and arrangement and description procedures, and in which circumstances they may not. With the ever increasing quantity of oral history documents being created today, there has been little acknowledgement that oral history collections form a significant portion of archival holdings, and a corresponding lack of archival literature to assist the archivist in dealing with these documents. Oral history documents have often been isolated from any evidence that they form part of the organic and natural activity of a person, organization or institution.

Esmond Butler, Secretary General of the Order of Military Merit to Corporal R. L. Mailloux, I 3 December 1972 nlike the Order of Canada, which underwent a significant structural change five years after being established, the changes made to the Order of Military U Merit since 1972 have been largely administrative. Following the Order of Canada structure and general ethos has served the Order of Military Merit well. Other developments, such as the change in insignia worn on undress ribbons, the adoption of a motto for the Order and the creation of the Order of Military Merit paperweight, are examined in Chapter Four. With the ink on the Letters Patent and Constitution of the Order dry, The Queen and Prime Minister having signed in the appropriate places, and the Great Seal affixed thereunto, the Order had come into being, but not to life. In the beginning, the Order consisted of the Sovereign and two members: the Governor General as Chancellor and a Commander of the Order, and the Chief of the Defence Staff as Principal Commander and a similarly newly minted Commander of the Order. The first act of Governor General Roland Michener as Chancellor of the Order was to appoint his Secretary, Esmond Butler, to serve "as a member of the Advisory Committee of the Order." 127 Butler would continue to play a significant role in the early development of the Order, along with future Chief of the Defence Staff General Jacques A.

  • NOVEMBER 2004 Jim Coutts
    THE TENETS AND CONSTITUENCY ROOTS OF LIBERALISM — OVERHAULING THE RED MACHINE Jim Coutts When Prime Minister Martin’s campaign strategists discarded the Liberal brand to run under the Team Martin banner in the last election, they abandoned the political trademark of a party that has governed Canada for most of the last century. Jim Coutts, a lifelong Liberal activist who served Prime Ministers Pearson and Trudeau, writes that the Liberals’ fabled Red Machine has actually been in long-term decline and is overdue for a major overhaul. He identifies five major “policy markers” that must be renewed: reform, French-English partnership, Canadian identity, balanced economic management and an open-door immigration policy. “These markers,” he writes, “have been part of the Liberal fabric long enough, and pursued consistently enough, to have become part of the Liberal identity.” Along with intellectual renewal, he writes, the Liberal Party needs to be rebuilt at the grassroots, and Martin has the opportunity “to become the first Liberal leader since Mackenzie King to pay serious attention to constituency-level party recruitment.” En troquant l’étiquette libérale pour la bannière de « équipe Martin », les stratèges de campagne du premier ministre ont délaissé la marque d’un parti qui a gouverné le Canada pour l’essentiel du dernier siècle. Militant libéral de toujours et conseiller des premiers ministres Pearson et Trudeau, Jim Coutts juge que la légendaire « machine rouge » est en perte de vitesse depuis un bon moment déjà et qu’il est grand temps de la rénover en profondeur. Il faudrait ainsi renouveler cinq grandes doctrines libérales : réformisme, partenariat anglais-français, identité canadienne, gestion économique équilibrée et ouverture des politiques d’immigration.

  • Specialized Classes & Unique Settings Student Profiles & Placement Process
    specialized classes & unique settings Student Profiles & Placement Process September, 2016 0 Document Background and Rationale The Calgary Board of Education (CBE) believes that learning experiences must be as unique as every student and that in an inclusive educational system an array of programming is available to ensure that each student is taught in the way that they learn best. Personalization of learning for all students requires that we ensure the CBE has educational programs and settings that attend to each student’s unique needs, abilities, interests and learning goals. Personalizing learning for most students occurs within their community school where universal, targeted and specialized instructional strategies, resources, supports and services ensure student success. For some students the personalization of learning is best met in a specialized classes or unique setting which allows for specific strategies, resources, technologies, and personnel to attend to the individual learning needs of these students. Most of the CBE’s specialized classes are situated within community school settings. The principal, as the instructional leader, is responsible for ensuring appropriate staffing; resource allocation, instructional strategies and supports are in place for all learners in their school, including students in specialized classes. The goal of this document is to provide school-based administrators and members of Area Learning Teams with placement process information including: student profile information, placement timelines and required documentation for students to be considered for placement into specialized classes and unique settings. The focus of this document is not on a student’s disabilities, but rather on the specialized classes and unique settings offered in the CBE and how learning is experienced by students in these classes.

  • The Crown in the Provinces: Canada's Compound Monarchy
    THE CROWN IN THE PROVINCES: CANADA’S COMPOUND MONARCHY Michael Jackson and Lynda Haverstock1 Canada: a “compound monarchy” (Smith, D.E., 1995, 12). This succinct phrase by David E. Smith, dean of Canadian scholars of the Crown, neatly sums up a key dimension of the constitutional monarchy in Canada. We contend that the Crown is an institution belonging jointly to the central and provincial governments and that it is crucial to the co-sovereign status of the provinces in Confederation. It is, therefore, of vital interest to the Province of Quebec and holds promise for First Nations’ governance. This aspect of our nation’s constitutional monarchy merits far more examination by scholars and policy-makers than it has received. Attention to the Crown in Canada – and attention there has recently been – has focused primarily on the Office of the Governor General. In part, this stems from a spotlight on the federal vice-regal reserve powers of dissolution and prorogation in 2008 and 2009 (Russell and Sossin, 2009). In addition, there has been debate in the media about the appropriateness of using the term “Head of State” in reference to the Governor General. In most cases, those who call for the end of the monarchy ignore its vital provincial dimension. Few commentators have drawn attention to the provincial Crown and the Lieutenant Governors who embody it; among those few are Michael Valpy and Ian Holloway (Valpy 2009). The present paper will discuss what we call the “provincial Crown” and how it evolved. By doing so, we will make the case that it is integral to how Canada has evolved as a fascinating federation and that to ignore its significance diminishes thoughtful discourse on the nation’s strengths.

    CANADA Date of Elections: June 25, 1968 Characteristics of Parliament: The Canadian Federal Parliament comprises two Chambers: — the Senate, whose 102 members are appointed for life by the Governor-General; — the House of Commons, henceforth composed of 264 mem­ bers elected by universal suffrage. On June 25, Canadian citizens went to the polls to choose their representatives to the Lower Chamber after the XXVIIth Legis­ lature, which had been elected on November 8, 1965, was dissolved on April 23, 1968. Under the British North America Act, the duration of a Parlia­ ment is limited to a maximum of five years. In practice, however, if there is no reason for the Governor-General to dissolve it prema­ turely, the House of Commons is generally renewed after four years, which is considered as a normal term of office. Electoral System: Members of the Lower Chamber are elected in single-member constituencies by a simple majority, one-round method of voting. As a result of the redistribution of seats, based on the 1961 decennial census and completed in 1966, the number of constituencies was reduced from 265 to 264. There was therefore one less seat in the House of Commons. It should also be noted that the ballot lists only the names and occupations of candidates, with no mention of their party affilia­ tions. 27 2 Canada All Canadian citizens, as well as British subjects resident in Canada for twelve months, both male and female and aged 21 and over, are eligible to vote in the constituency in which they ordinarily reside. Electoral lists are revised for this purpose in the weeks preceding the election.
