Principals Involved in Lucid Plan Aren?T Done with Aurora
This page was exported from - The Auroran Export date: Thu Sep 30 6:36:34 2021 / +0000 GMT Principals involved in Lucid plan aren?t done with Aurora By Brock Weir With Aurora Live! dead in the water, enough time has passed for heads to cool and assess the situation. But George Roche, founder of Lucid Productions, the group that brought forward the Aurora Live! festival isn't completely done with Aurora. 2014, he said, is definitely a possibility. ?I would love to [bid on a festival] if we can get the ?Wild, Wild West' politics and the cynicism projected by [Councillor Chris Ballard] which I believe rises out of the treatment unto the Aurora Jazz Fest organizers,? said Mr. Roche, referring to the war of words between himself and the Councillor while the festival was still on the table. ?We always had a great feeling of working with Aurora and nothing has changed. When things go a little bit sideways obviously politicians start to protect themselves and their own credibility within the Town, but in this case the credibility wasn't protected.? Credibility also took a hit, he claims when Councillor Abel began to get ?demanding? on which bands should take to the stage and how much they should be paid, as well as what he describes as a ?spectacle? being made out of their references. ?2013 is out of the question [for a festival],? he said. ?We're very sorry it didn't go the way we had proposed. It wasn't anything to do with our actions, certainly being the lead writer and the pitchmen for the plan, I certainly wouldn't have done anything to hijack my own proposal.

Plans Come Forward for 2013 Music Fest: the Pitches
This page was exported from - The Auroran Export date: Mon Sep 27 1:34:54 2021 / +0000 GMT Plans come forward for 2013 music fest: The Pitches By Brock Weir When it rains, it pours ? but the recent music festival drought in Aurora was quenched last week by a two interested parties wanting to pick up the slack. Little more than a week after Council decided to scrap hopes for a 2013 music festival and cast their sights on 2014 instead, two groups came forward see if something could be salvaged for this year. While the proposals came from both from within and outside of the community, community is the very focus of what both groups pitched to Council on Tuesday. The first, was a music and arts festival pitched by Habachat, a local social media company. ?Our main mandate is to support our local community, local charities and local businesses by running local events,? said Tim Newnham of Habachat. ?We have successfully created a number of events like Iron Chef Aurora, and Taste of Aurora, and we have a strong belief that engaging the local community members and local events is the way we have a vital community. That is our belief and we will continue to do that with events four times a year throughout the Town to engage that. ?Our vision is to have more of a grassroots type of thing and take it back to Aurora Town Park. We would like this not just to be a music festival, but a cultural event that includes music, the arts and crafts, and local food artisans.? In his presentation, Mr.

Multiculturalism and the De-Politicization of Blackness in Canada: the Case of Flow 93.5 Fm
MULTICULTURALISM AND THE DE-POLITICIZATION OF BLACKNESS IN CANADA: THE CASE OF FLOW 93.5 FM by Kisrene McKenzie A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Sociology and Equity Studies in Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto © Copyright by Kisrene McKenzie 2009 MULTICULTURALISM AND THE DE-POLITICIZATION OF BLACKNESS IN CANADA: THE CASE OF FLOW 93.5 FM Master of Arts 2009 Kisrene McKenzie Department of Sociology and Equity Studies in Education University of Toronto Abstract This thesis presents a case study of Canada‟s first Black owned radio station, FLOW 93.5 FM, to demonstrate how official multiculturalism, in its formulation and implementation, negates Canada‟s history of slavery and racial inequality. As a response to diversity, multiculturalism shifts the focus away from racial inequality to cultural difference. Consequently, Black self-determination is unauthorized. By investigating FLOW‟s radio license applications, programming and advertisements, this thesis reveals just how the vision of a Black focus radio station dissolved in order to fit the practical and ideological framework of multiculturalism so that Blackness could be easily commodified. This thesis concludes that FLOW is not a Black radio station but instead is a multicultural radio station – one that specifically markets a de-politicized Blackness. As a result, multiculturalism poses serious consequences for imagining and engaging with Blackness as a politics that may address the needs of Black communities in Canada. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I extend my deepest gratitude to my thesis supervisor, Dr. Sherene Razack, for her guidance, constant support, encouragement and initial interest in my thesis topic.

Justice Gilmore rendered her decision February 11. In her ruling, the Judge sided with Ms. Morris on the two primary issues argued in the lawsuit, namely whether a conflict existed at all, and the time in which it took Aurora resident George Hervey to launch his lawsuit against Ms. Morris the following spring. She dismissed Mr. Hervey’s application right out of the gate on the basis that his application was not filed in time under the rules of the Municipal Conflict of Interest, but went a step further and addressed the elephant in the room – whether Ms. Morris was actually in viola- tion of the Act. Mr. Hervey launched his lawsuit in May 2011, alleging Ms. Morris breached the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act by participating in the closed session meeting of Council in September 2010 which ultimate- ly lead to a $6 million defamation lawsuit against Aurora residents Bill Hogg, Richard Johnson and Elizabeth Bishenden, among others. The original lawsuit alleged the three local bloggers had informa- tion to identify anonymous posters on the Aurora Citizen blog which Ms.

Canadian Idol: a Case Study - the Anatomy of a Successful Reality Format Television Series”
“Canadian Idol: A Case Study - the Anatomy of a Successful Reality Format Television Series” “Canadian Idol” the number one rated series on Canadian television was the subject of a stimulating panel discussion at a recent event sponsored by the Law Society of Upper Canada. The Entertainment and Advertising and Media Law symposium was held at the Toronto Board of Trade on April 8-9, 2005 and was attended by lawyers from the film, television, music recording, advertising and broadcast industries. A blue chip panel of industry experts including Tracey Pearce, vice-president and general counsel of Bell GlobeMedia Inc., Brenda Pritchard, a partner at Gowling LaFleur Henderson LLP, Stephen Stohn, the founding partner of Stohn Hay Caffazzo Dembroski Richmond LLP and David Zitzerman, the co-chair of the Entertainment Group at Goodmans LLP provided their insights into the development, production, financing and exploitation of the Idol series. Tracey Pearce led off the session by describing how she assembled her “dream team” of lawyers with expertise in advertising (Pritchard), music (Stohn) and film and television (Zitzerman) to tackle the complex legal issues raised by Idol. Pearce described acquiring the format rights from FreemantleMedia and structuring the production with Insight Production Company as the producer and CTV as the broadcaster. In response to the hypothetical query: “who needs a format if it's just a talent show?” Pearce elaborated on the bundles of rights to be considered when acquiring a format, including, for example: the right to use names, logos, trademarks and other intellectual property, the “look and feel” of a series, the music, the structure of a series, episode themes, the right to merchandise, telecast and to distribute the series in all media (including, for example, the Internet, DVDs and CDs) and the right to own copyright in the series.

Groups Collaborate on New Music Festival
This page was exported from - The Auroran Export date: Fri Oct 1 11:47:06 2021 / +0000 GMT Groups collaborate on new music festival By Brock Weir With their permit fees paid and the schedule falling into place, the proposed 2013 Music Festival for the Town of Aurora appears to be a go. Organizers of the music festival paid their park permit fees last week for the use of Town Park on the last weekend in July 26 ? 28 ? and with a few more Is to dot, a few more Ts to cross, and assembling the lineup of local talent is the next step in the process. After the Aurora Jazz+ Festival packed up their guitars and drums to head to Newmarket and a potential deal on a music festival with Lucid Productions fell through after a significant chunk of the talent left the organization, two groups came forward this spring for a chance to hold a music festival. The first was Habachat, a local social media company, run by Aurora's Debbie McGrath. The second was a group led by former Canadian Idol judge Farley Flex and many of the other members from Lucid. Habachat proposed a music and arts festival for Town Park, while Mr. Flex's group suggested a similar music festival for Machell Park. In the intervening weeks, the two groups have put their heads together and have combined their talents for a three-day extravaganza in Town Park. ?Friday night will be a Heroes and Icons event, like a Hall of Fame for Aurora,? explains Ms.
