    Exploring human experience in the North research arƟ cle “Indigenizing” the Bush Pilot in CBC’s ArcƟ c Air Renée Hulan Saint Mary’s University, Halifax Abstract When the Canadian BroadcasƟ ng CorporaƟ on (CBC) cut original programming in 2014, it cancelled the drama that had earned the network’s highest raƟ ngs in over a decade. Arc c Air, based on Omni Films’ reality TV show Buff alo Air, created a diverse cast of characters around a Dene bush pilot and airline co-owner played by Adam Beach. Despite its cancellaƟ on, episodes can sƟ ll be viewed on the CBC website, and the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (APTN) has conƟ nued broadcasƟ ng the popular show. Through a content analysis of Arc c Air and its associated paratext, read in relaƟ on to the stock Canadian literary fi gure of the heroic bush pilot, this arƟ cle argues that when viewed on the CBC, the program visually “Indigenizes” the bush pilot character, but suggests only one way forward for Indigenous people. On the “naƟ onal broadcaster,” the imagined urban, mulƟ cultural North of Arc c Air—in which Indigenous people are one cultural group among others parƟ cipaƟ ng in commercial ventures—serves to normalize resource development and extracƟ on. Broadcast on APTN, however, where the show appears in the context of programming that represents Indigenous people in a wide range of roles, genres, and scenarios, Arc c Air takes on new meaning. Keywords: media; television; Canadian North; content analysis The Northern Review 43 (2016): 139–162 Published by Yukon College, Whitehorse, Canada yukoncollege.yk.ca/review 139 In 2013, the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) lost the broadcast rights to Hockey Night in Canada, a contract that the private broadcaster Rogers Media secured for $5.2 billion.

  • The Legacies of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan in Canada's Prairie Provinces
    A PLAN FOR THE FUTURE: THE LEGACIES OF THE BRITISH COMMONWEALTH AIR TRAINING PLAN IN CANADA'S PRAIRIE PROVINCES by Allan Newell B.A. University of British Columbia, 2005 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (History) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA AUGUST 2007 © Allan Newell, 2007 ABSTRACT The establishment of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP) saw the creation of more than one hundred air training schools across the country. In the West, the wide-open spaces facilitated many of these sites, and a sophisticated network of airfields sprang up across the prairies almost overnight. The substantial and enduring impact of the BCATP's airfields and schools in the Canadian West is curiously overlooked by historians, who (for the most part) often focus on the Plan's overall operation at the expense of its lasting influence. The construction of the BCATP sites prompted extensive modernisation of the existing infrastructure in many of the small communities selected for schools. Moreover, the vast sums of money poured into the region and the tens of thousands of Commonwealth airmen who came to train at the airfields had a significant and long-term cultural and economic impact on the region. Along with improved infrastructure, the BCATP brought a new cosmopolitanism and a strong regional affinity for the Air Force. More importantly, the Plan influenced the perceptions and perceived roles of women in the prairies and has had an enduring effect on the Canadian women's movement. In the postwar years, the demographics of the prairies shifted as thousands of BCATP alumni returned to take-up residence in the region they had trained in, while at the same time Canadian war brides departed to be with their new husbands abroad.

Wind in the Wires Welcome to the sixth quarterly newsletter from Cross & Cockade International, bringing you all that's new and interesting in the world of WW1 aviation. Doesn't time fly - it's now eighteen months since our first! The autumn edition of the journal landed on my mat this morning. Everyone in the UK should receive theirs over the next few days. If you're overseas and subscribed via airmail, you'll probably get yours next week. If you live outside Europe and subscribe surface mail, I'm afraid you may have a much longer wait - and might want to consider subscribing airmail for 2014. The postal services are positively discouraging surface post - in the US and Australia delivery can up to an extra 10 weeks. As usual we have a fine selection of articles for your delectation - on a wide variety of subjects. First up is a fascinating piece by Michael Kelsey on 47 Sqn's use of the "Little Ack" in Macedonia. Staying with the Macedonian theme, we also have a great piece by Boris Ciglic titled "Premier Serbian Fighters", on the use of French fighters with Serb forces in WW1. We have the second article on Guy Duncan Smith, plus one on his brother, Harold Beaumont Smith. We also have the continuation of Mick Davis' excellent series "Gazetteer of UK Flying Sites" (which gets to Pett) and Paul Leaman's "Atlas of German & Foreign Seaplanes", which reaches Zeppelin-Staaken.

We redoubled our efforts to provide Nparents and caregivers with the tools necessary to help children become ready to read—a predictor of future academic success. Through weekly classes at every library, by increasing outreach to daycare providers Life Expanded and preschools and in building stronger partnerships with the public schools, we Anne Arundel County Public Library are seeing results. Last year more than 86,000 children, parents and caregivers attended our early literacy classes and we reached 10,000 more at community events. BOARD OF TRUSTEES Officers We remain committed to school readiness and so we’ve changed the name of our education programs to M Hall Worthington – Chairman Every Child Ready to Read. Mirroring the national initiative sponsored by the Public Library Association Ellan Thorson – Vice Chairman and Association for Library Service to Children, we believe this title more accurately reflects the intent of Donald E Roland – Treasurer our programs. Participants can expect our classes to focus on the initiative’s five simple practices for early literacy—Talking, Singing, Reading, Writing and Playing.

DESCRIPTORS *Access to Information; *Genealogy; Information Seeking; *Information Services; *Information Sources; Information Technology; Mail Surveys; Questionnaires; Research Methodology; *Resource Materials; User Needs (Information); *User Satisfaction (Information) IDENTIFIERS Ohio; Research Results ABSTRACT This paper reports on a study conducted to determine: (1) if current users of genealogical collections are satisfied with the collections they most frequently use;(2) which types of materials are provided by genealogical collections;(3) which types of materials are deemed most important by the users of the genealogical collection; and (4) possible reasons why users may be satisfied or unsatisfied with genealogical collections. Mail surveys were sent to 221 members of the Ohio Genealogical Society, Summit County Chapter, for a return rate of 52% (115). Demographic and user satisfaction data are discussed and presented in table form. Findings indicated that the most available items appeared to be traditional' secondary sources; approximately 86% of the respondents were either satisfied of very satisfied with the material available, satisfaction appeared to be greatest among those items containing the most information, and technological sources were too new to satisfy the more conservative audience; training could improve satisfaction levels regarding technological resources; and overall the respondents were satisfied with the collections they evaluated.
