  • Children's Folk Music in Canada: Histories, Performers and Canons
    Children’s Folk Music in Canada: Histories, Performers and Canons ANNA HOEFNAGELS Abstract: In this paper the author explores the origins, growth and popularity of prominent children’s performers and their repertoires in English Canada from the 1960s-1980s, arguing that this period saw the formation of a canon of children’s folk music in Canada.Various factors that have supported the creation of a children’s folk music canon are highlighted, including the role of folk song collectors, folk singers, educational institutions, media outlets and the role of parents in the perpetuation of a particular canon of folk songs for children. ike many adults, I was rather uninterested in children’s music until I be- Lcame a parent. However, since the birth of my children, my family has been listening to and watching various performers who specialize in music for children. I am not unique in my piqued interest in this repertoire after the birth of my children; indeed many parents seek to provide a musical environ- ment for their children at home, both through songs and lullabies they may sing to their children, and by listening to commercial recordings made for young children. Early music educators recognize the importance of music in the development of young children, and the particular role that parents can have on their child’s musical development; as researchers Wendy L. Sims and Dneya B. Udtaisuk assert: Early childhood music educators stress the importance of pro- viding rich musical environments for young children. The intro- duction to MENC’s National Standards states, “The years before children enter kindergarten are critical for their musical develop- ment,” and infants and toddlers “should experience music daily while receiving caring, physical contact” (Music Educators Na- Hoefnagels: Children’s Folk Music in Canada 15 tional Conference, 1994).

  • MEDICAL EXPLORERS to Ms! Medical Explorers Sun 4:30-5:00
    MEDICAL EXPLORERS to Ms! Medical Explorers Sun 4:30-5:00 p.m., 7 Jan-17 Jun 1973 William Gibson, the curator of Woodward Medical Library at the University of British Columbia, hosted this thirteen part series. It provided overviews of medical history but, as the title suggests, it concentrated on individual contributions to the evolution of health care. Leonardo da Vinci, Sir William Harvey, who mapped the circulatory system, Charles Sheffington, pioneer in neurology, Lister and Jenner, the innovators of the smallpox vaccine, Christopher Wren, Florence Nightingale, Frank Fairchild Wesbrook, the developer of the ambulance, and Canadian Sir William Osler were all profiled in the series. Keith Christie produced the series in colour, in Vancouver. The Medicine Show Thu 9:30-10:00 p.m., 17 Jan-10 Apr 1980 Mon 9:30-10:00 p.m., 6 Jul-17 Aug 1981 Mon 10:25-10:55 p.m., 5 Jul-30 Aug 1982 A public affairs show in magazine and documentary format, The Medicine Show applied investigative technique to reports on developments in health care. Among the subjects the show covered were: valium addiction, the treatment of leukemia, agoraphobia, aspirin, health food stores, depression, doctors' housecalls and Montreal's Telemedic service, emergency wards, sports medicine and the roles of doctors in training Olympic athletes, folk medicine and the Salish tribe on the west coast, and cervical cancer. On one show, nurses offered their perspective on health care in Canada. Each program included at least two reports and the results of a poll to gauge Canadians' experiences with doctors and in the health care system.

  • Testimony of Lucy Medeiros
    TESTIMONY OF ALISON SMITH (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) Introduction My name is Alison Smith. I am currently a Washington Television News Correspondent for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. I have worked for CBC News for more than 30 years in a variety of positions, but primarily as a news anchor and reporter. I am now based in Washington DC covering US news of interest to Canadians. That includes US politics, foreign affairs, the economy and news features that reflect American life. The CBC The CBC’s mandate is to provide programming that is predominantly and distinctively Canadian and to actively contribute to the flow and exchange of cultural expression. CBC News The CBC News Service was established almost 70 years ago in 1941. As an important component of CBC, the mandate for CBC News mirrors that of the corporation. With its team of experienced and highly professional journalists it is seen as one of the greatest strengths of the CBC. It is Canada’s largest news service with more than 800 journalists employed at home and around the world. It currently has more bureaus across Canada than any other network and 14 outside of the country. There are three bureaus in the US – Washington, New York and Los Angeles. Other locations include London, Paris, Jerusalem, Mexico City, Moscow, Beijing, Shanghai, Nairobi, Bangkok and Kandahar. From the inception of the news service, CBC news and current affairs journalists have won international recognition for their work. A list of international awards covering the time period at issue here is attached to this testimony (Exhibit CDN-2-A).

A mother reported she “took my children to hear him but hear him we did not! They had allowed the Public School children in for ten cents (we had to pay 50cts) & they behaved so badly & made so much noise that we could not hear one word & what was more disgusting they spit on us from the gallery.”2 * * * In Winnipeg, just after the Great War, James H. Gray was “infected by my friend Gordon Main...He was, he said, building a wireless set on which he would be able to hear music being broadcast on Station KDKA in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Within the hour I had absorbed all of Gordon's newly acquired expertise...With our homemade crystal sets we not only astounded our parents...but we also flabbergasted the neighbours with the snatches of music coaxed from our sets.”3 1 I gave an earlier version of this paper to the European Social Science History Conference in Amsterdam in March, 1998. Small portions of it have been drawn, much recast, from my Growing Up: Childhood in English Canada from the Great War to the Age of Television (Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 1997). 2 Winnifred Woolryche, Toronto, to Grace, 26 Mar. 1901.
