Canada in the Classroom
Canada in the Classroom Notes to Accompany PowerPoint Presentation (Given at the Canadian Consulate in Denver in September 2005) by Nadine Fabbi, University of Washington Slide #1 – Canadian Studies in the U.S. This power point presentation will introduce you to Canadian Studies in the U.S. and to the rationale behind international education in the U.S. It will orient you to the Canadian Studies “community” and answer the question, “Why study Canada?” In addition, the presentation will provide a quick overview of Canadian-American history and the Linking: Connecting Canadian History to the U.S. curriculum modules available on the K-12 STUDY CANADA website. Slide #2 – Sputnik 1 In 1957, at the height of the Cold War, the Soviet Union launched the first artificial satellite – Sputnik 1. Its launch kicked off the Space Race but, more important to this discussion, the U.S. responded by setting in place a reform movement in science and international education. Millions of dollars were immediately poured into scientific research and international education and the U.S. Department of Education’s International Programs were created. (The largest increase in funding in international programs since that time came after 9/11.) The U.S. defined international education as critical to global competitiveness and to the peaceful resolution of conflict. And, as our world shrinks in size, international studies is increasingly relevant. Slide #3 – Map with National Resource Centers One of the many federally-funded international programs are the Title VI programs whose mandate is to increase international studies content in teaching and research not only at the level of higher education, but also with the general public, business, media, the government, and for K-12 educators. -
Former Fellows Biographical Index Part
Former Fellows of The Royal Society of Edinburgh 1783 – 2002 Biographical Index Part Two ISBN 0 902198 84 X Published July 2006 © The Royal Society of Edinburgh 22-26 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PQ BIOGRAPHICAL INDEX OF FORMER FELLOWS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH 1783 – 2002 PART II K-Z C D Waterston and A Macmillan Shearer This is a print-out of the biographical index of over 4000 former Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh as held on the Society’s computer system in October 2005. It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography. -
Canada at Expo 2005: Nation, Audience, and the Branded Display Complex
Canada at Expo 2005: Nation, Audience, and the Branded Display Complex: by Laurie J. Dalton A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Canadian Studies Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2014 Laurie Dalton Abstract Popular culture events, such as world’s fairs, are important objects of study as they demonstrate how visual culture functions as an agent of nation branding on a global scale. Much of the research on these events has focused on the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as sites of imperialism and modernism. Although less attention has been paid to contemporary world’s fairs, this study argues that these continue to be critical areas of study. Expo 2005 in Aichi, Japan was the first world’s fair held in Asia in the twenty-first century. As global power dynamics shift to Asia, an examination of cultural events allows us to explore how countries hope to position themselves in this shift. My case study of the Canadian pavilion at Expo 2005 demonstrates how the display simultaneously projected a federal brand and reflected tourist expectations of Canada for the Japanese audience. I use a visual analysis drawing from iconology and visual semiotics to understand how the design of the pavilion represented the unique expectations of three different stakeholders: the organizers of the Aichi expo who sought to position Japan within a wider global framework, the Canadian federal planners who wanted to project a distinct Canadian identity abroad, and the attending public, who went to be entertained. -

BROCK's BANTER: in All of Us Command?
This page was exported from - The Auroran Export date: Sat Sep 25 8:14:32 2021 / +0000 GMT BROCK'S BANTER: In all of us command? By Brock Weir Some readers will remember all too well Canada's flag wars of the early 1960s as Liberal Prime Minister ? and hometown boy ? Lester B. Pearson proposed changing the Red Ensign to a flag that was, in his view, uniquely Canadian. In the opposing corner was former Progressive Conservative Prime Minister John Diefenbaker, who was a staunch proponent of the status quo. The debate was heated, the proposed changes and mock-ups were endless and, in the end, over 51 years ago, we got our now iconic red maple leaf. In the end, it was a flag neither Pearson nor Diefenbaker had in mind, but a relatively happy medium. If your name wasn't Diefenbaker. The flag was ultimately embraced and while the maple leaf might be forever on our flag, ?The Maple Leaf Forever? certainly took a beating. Written by Alexander Muir around the time of Confederation it, alongside the later entry, O Canada, was widely viewed as one of Canada's unofficial anthems, often sung alongside the de facto official national anthem, God Save The Queen/King. By late 1970s, Canada was still without an official national anthem to call its own. God Save the Queen was still our official theme song, along with several other nations, and the time came to choose something a bit unique. The Maple Leaf Forever, which begins with the memorable line ?In days of yore, from Britain's shore??, heralding Great Britain's victory over France on the Plains of Abraham, along with subsequent victories over the Americans in the War of 1812, was probably not the ideal choice for national unity when the flames of separatism were still hot in Quebec. -
Newmarket's History
A Brief History of the Town of Newmarket In June, 1800, Timothy Rogers, a Vermont Quaker, explored the area around the Holland River and up to Lake Simcoe to find a suitable location for a contemplated Quaker settlement. The Quakers were disturbed as a result of difficulties encountered when this peaceful sect refused to take part in the rioting and bloodshed of the American Revolutionists. In 1801, Rogers, leading several Quaker families, left their homes in Vermont and Pennsylvania and secured land grants of 8,000 acres located at the east end of lots 93, 94, and 95 along Yonge Street in the former Townships of Whitchurch and King. It was easy for them to see the potential in these fertile rolling lands, through which flowed the Holland River, an important trading artery for both aboriginals and fur traders. Having arrived in the spring, these first Quaker settlers immediately began the arduous task of clearing the land for their homes and farms. Indeed, By Christmas of 1801, Joseph Hill had constructed a mill on the Holland River at what is now Fairy Lake, around which the settlement to be known as Newmarket sprouted. Over the years, Mr. Hill Hill Trading Post, also built a tannery and the first store and house, as well Main and Water Streets, as additional mills. It is unfortunate that this enterprising 1801 man, embittered over the terms of an 1804 sale of the north half of lot 93 to Elisha Beman, returned saddened and disappointed to the United States in 1812. Elisha Beman, through his marriage to Esther Sayre Robinson, the widow of Christopher Robinson, a distinguished United Empire Loyalist and member of the Legislative Assembly, gained an entree to the establishment and preferential treatment through the Family Compact. -

135 Bell-Irving Squadron Level One Handbook Page 1 of 38 PO 101 – Citizenship Part 1: National Flag of Canada First Canadian Flags St. George’s Cross The St. George’s Cross was an English flag of the 15th century. It was carried by John Cabot and flown over Canadian soil when he reached the east coast of Canada in 1497. Fleur-de-Lis When Jacques Cartier landed and claimed the new world for France in 1534, the Fleur-de-Lis was flown as a symbol of French sovereignty in Canada. It was flown until the early 1760s when Canada was surrendered to the United Kingdom. Royal Union Flag The two crossed Royal Union Flag was the official British flag in the early 1760s. This flag was flown over Canadian soil until the Act of the Union between Great Britain and Ireland in 1801 when Ireland’s diagonal cross of St. Patrick was incorporated. This gave the Royal Union Flag its present day configuration. Canadian Red Ensign The Canadian Red Ensign is a red flag with the Royal Union Flag in the corner. It was created in 1707 as the flag of the British Merchant Marine. It replaced the Royal Union flag on government buildings abroad in 1924. Starting in 1945, it was flown on federal buildings in Canada until a new national flag was adopted. Current National Flag of Canada The red and white maple leaf flag replaced the Canadian Red Ensign on February 15th, 1965. The maple leaf has been a national emblem of Canada since 1860 and was deemed a suitable symbol for the current national flag. -
