Nearly 100 trees and bushes, including red maple, elm, ash, willow, poplar and serviceberry were placed in the western and northern sections of the park by an enthusiastic group, which shrugged off the occasional drizzle (which was perfect for the trees, however). The planting supervisors arrived at 8 a.m. to set up the registration and re- freshment tables, run through a practice planting and as- sign tasks for the day. Planters began to turn up at 9 a.m. and by 9:30 the exercise was in full swing.

Drawing on the existing literature,-a framework of analysis was created comprised of four categories: 1) language; 2) visual representation; 3) positioning and; 4) critical analysis of content. Each of these categories was further broken into a series of related subcategories in order to examine in depth and detail, the portrayal of women in these two textbooks.

During what the present thesis calls the “crisis of Britishness” from 1964 to 1968, the British character of Canada was redefined and Britishness portrayed as something foreign or “other.” This post-British conception of Canada has been buttressed by historians depicting the British connection as a colonial hangover, an externally-derived, narrowly ethnic, nostalgic, or retardant force. However, Britishness, as a unique amalgam of hybrid identities in the Canadian context, in fact took on new and multiple meanings.

Ottawa South Community Association Review NOVEMBER 1984 Brewer playground takes shapeA by SANDRA GARLAND * Have you seen Brewer Park Playground lately? If you've been discouraged by piles of mud and lack of activity over the summer, you have a pleasant sur- prise in store. The sod-turning ceremony, which took place at the end of June, signalled the beginning of construc- tion of Phase I of the Brewer Park Development Plan, including most of the work on the playground. Unfortun- ately, many delays - overextension of equipment by the contractor, paperwork involved in buying large rocks from Regional Government - prevented comp- letion of the park on schedule. This month, however, has seen a tremendous change in the visual appearance of the play areas. And the work has not gone unnoticed. Most evenings, children can be seen crawling over the new play structures and trying out rope ladders, slides, springy teeter-totters, rope bridges, while their parents inspect the equip- ment and stroll over . the improved landscape.
