Hodgetts in What Culture?What Heritage observed that sixty-two percent of all classrooms inCanadian History had no Canadian books of any kind other than the prescribed textbook.1While Hodgetts' report dealt with teach- ing of Canadian History in senior high schools throughout the country,-the lack of Canadian materials, it can be assumed, was at least as bad in other subjects and at other levels. Even today, after eight years, there has been no dramatic change. Though the shelves of some school resource centers in Manitoba are well stocked with up-to-date Canadian materials, most resource centers sadly are not. A recent survey established that of all materials used in classrooms in one entire,,school system, only textbooks were predominantly Canadian in origin.2 A similar situation clearly exists in school divisions throughout Manitoba. This dearth of Canadian materials in schools exists despite a generally-held view that what Canadais, what Canada has been, and what Canada might become should be of critical concern to all students in Canada. The preponderant use of non-Canadian materials has not altogether been the fault of the local school systems, however. One reason is that it has been difficult for teachers to know what Canadian materials are available. It has been even more difficult to find materials on Manitoba by Manitoba authors. Schools, as a result, have been handicapped in many ways particulaly in finding backgroUnd materials and models for projects which use locally-developed materials. This select, annotated bibliography is designed to_ fill the breach. It will aid teachers and librarians in upgrading Canadian content in libraries and classrooms. To facilitate ordering materials, the annotations are divided according to subject and level. Manitoba authors c:0 and content are especially noted. First purchase items are also indicated. In no sense, however, is it suggested that materials be ordered exclusively from this bibliography at theexpense 1 A.B. Hodgetts, What Culture? What Heritage?

Toronto: Canada Studies Foundation. 3 of the best publications from outside Canada. Nor is it suggested that ManitQba authors always be preferred. Teachers and librarians should aim for a balanced collection. The purpose of this bibliography is to assist in correcting the present imbalance. Hopefully, too, these listings, which provide a wide variety of materials on themore common Canadian themes, will encourage teachers to adopt an interdisciplinary teaching apProach. A large range of sources is listed, not just pub- lishers - the Museum of Man and Nature and governmentsources, for example. Owing to the limited time available to compile this work, some deficiencies may be noted which will be corrected in subsequent editions. Your,comments and suggestions would be welcome in making this project even more useful in the future: The work was completed under the auspices of the Canadian Studies Project Committee by. School Library Services. The committee expresses its thanks to Mike Angel and Virginia Davis for their devoted services and to Donna Phillips who did most of the work of compiling the bibliography and writing the annotations. The typing, proofreading mild cover design are the work of Colleen Palubeskie and Margaret Yagilashek. The Canadian Studies Project Committee Ron Stevens Winston Layne Keith Wilson 4.1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Commissioned by the Canadian Studies Project Committee, this bibliography was donceived as a basic list of available Canadian materials suitable for school libraries from Kindergarten to Grade 12. It consists of over 1000 entries, some of which include multiple series. The attempt was made to include as much material about Manitoba as possible. A broad range of topics covered, from business education, fine arts, home econom , language and literature, social studies, physical education to the sciences, although some categories such as (/ social studies and literature have more entries simply becauS,& there is more material available in these areas. Sources used were: over 20 other recent bibliographies, bookreview periodicals, publishers catalogues, and many hours of "bookstore browsing". Canadian publishing has burgeoned in the past few years but it is not simply a matter of numbers which is remarkable: the quality and nature of publications has changed as well. This bibliography reflects an increasing interest in excellent audiovisual materials on a broader range of topics than ever before, in women's studies and particularly in "non sexist" children's literature, and in native studies, written by natives. o ' This bibliography could not have been completed in such,a short time without the cooperation and help of many people: the librarians at the Department of Education Library, members of various curriculum committees who loaned me books by the pound, Mary Scorer's Bookstore, and finally all those friends who took an interest in the project, and who kept telling me about the "one last book that just has to be included.". To all of you, thanks. Donna Phillips gr, 5 - iv TABLE OF CONTENTS Page.

The final, binding course outline will be distributed in the first class of the semester. School of English and Theatre Studies Course Code: Course Title: Date of Offering: 3940*01 Seminar: Form, Genre & Literary Value Fall 2021 Topic for Sec. 01: Autobiography, Ficticity, Allegory Course Instructor: Course Format: Dr. J.R. (Tim) Struthers Asynchronous (For details, see end of this document) Brief Course Synopsis: Please Note: As needed, this Fall’s offering of ENGL*3940*01 (and ENGL*3940*02) may count as a .5 credit in “Canadian literature” if such a .5 credit is required in terms of specific “Distribution Requirements” for English Programs. The topic I have chosen for this course – “Autobiography, Ficticity, Allegory” -- and my personal desire to encourage a creative and a critical and a personal approach to reading and writing offer an opportunity to develop our understanding of traditionally distinct, now often merging art forms and theoretical approaches, of their values to ourselves and to others. As an important facet of this objective, members of this class should consider themselves not simply invited but strongly encouraged to reflect on and to explore the potential that the three different elements of “Autobiography; Ficticity; Allegory” contain for enhancing our thinking and writing in ways that give more scope to the individual imagination. Special attention will be given to ways in which these three elements combine in Indigenous writer (and Guelph resident) Thomas King’s book The Truth about Stories: A Native Narrative.

    Margaret Ross “Of friends and trees, tents, paths and playing fields”:1 Nature, Gender, and Race at Camp Orendaga History 9833B: Environmental History April 25th, 2018 Professor Alan MacEachern 1 Western Archives, Western University (hereafter referred to as ARCC), YMCA-YWCA fonds, Box 5368, Orendaga summer camp newspaper (Orendaga Saga), 1936, 1. Ross 1 Camp Orendaga was an all-girls camp that ran during the 1930s and 1940s near Bayfield, Ontario. Operated by the Young Women’s Christian Association (YWCA), it catered to middle- class girls looking to partake in general camp activities and learn specialized skills in “God’s great out-of-doors.”2 Many girls contributed to the writing of the Orendaga Saga, a newspaper that was distributed to campers at the end of their two-week sessions. The Orendaga “scribes” wrote varied articles, stories, and poems to document their stay, often including drawings and paintings to provide visuals. Although the secondary literature on summer camping highlights the perspectives and opinions of adult reformers and camp directors, the camp newspaper offers a rare opportunity to balance their views with the perceptions of youth. This essay will examine the Orendaga Saga between 1934 and 1950 in order to shed light on adolescent interpretations of changing discourses about nature and its relationship to gender and race in the early to mid- twentieth century.3 First and foremost, this essay is an environmental history, and questions what female campers thought about nature and their recreational outdoor experiences.4 While reformers and administrators believed that the Canadian wilderness was beneficial for children and adolescents, campers themselves were far less reflective about nature’s redemptive qualities, and typically viewed the camp setting as a backdrop against which they negotiated personal relationships and burgeoning friendships.

    Inclusion on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register and Intention to Designate Under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act - 100 College Street

    REPORT FOR ACTION Inclusion on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register and Intention to Designate under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act - 100 College Street Date: August 7, 2020 To: Toronto Preservation Board Toronto and East York Community Council From: Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning Wards: Ward 11 - University-Rosedale SUMMARY This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate the property at 100 College Street under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act and include the property on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register. The Banting Institute at 100 College Street, is located on the north side of College Street in Toronto's Discovery District, on the southern edge of the Queen's Park/University of Toronto precinct, opposite the MaRS complex and the former Toronto General Hospital. Following the Nobel-Prize winning discovery of insulin as a life- saving treatment for diabetes in 1921-1922, the Banting Institute was commissioned by the University of Toronto to accommodate the provincially-funded Banting and Best Chair of Medical Research. Named for Major Sir Charles Banting, the five-and-a-half storey, Georgian Revival style building was constructed according to the designs of the renowned architectural firm of Darling of Pearson in 1928-1930. The importance of the historic discovery was recently reiterated in UNESCO's 2013 inscription of the discovery of insulin on its 'Memory of the World Register' as "one of the most significant medical discoveries of the twentieth century and … of incalculable value to the world community."1 Following research and evaluation, it has been determined that the property meets Ontario Regulation 9/06, which sets out the criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, for its design/physical, historical/associative and contextual value.

    Twentieth-Century Canadian Law, Psychiatry, and Social Activism in Relation to Pedophiles and Child Sex Offenders

    Twentieth-Century Canadian Law, Psychiatry, and Social Activism in Relation to Pedophiles and Child Sex Offenders By Justin F. Smith Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the MA degree in History University of Ottawa © Justin F. Smith, Ottawa, Canada, 2017 ABSTRACT Twentieth-Century Canadian Law, Psychiatry, and Social Activism in Relation to Pedophiles and Child Sex Offenders Justin Smith Supervisor: University of Ottawa Heather Murray The contemporary conflation of pedophiles and child sex offenders is a prevalent aspect of reporting in news and social media, as well as in government- sponsored efforts to prevent child sexual victimization. Throughout twentieth century Canada, however, legal experts, psychologists and psychiatrists, and social activists were recognizing the harmfulness of grouping individuals who may have a propensity to commit crime with those who have committed the most heinous of criminal acts. As early as 1938, Canadian legal experts suggested that criminal insanity was a myth, advocating for a divergence between legal punishment and psychiatric healthcare, but after World War 2 had enacted serious efforts targeting criminal sexual psychopathy. Successive Royal Commissions investigating sexual victimization and child abuse revealed that Canadian courts, jails, prisons, and remand services were unable to solely deal with the realities of child sexual victimization. Psychologists and psychiatrists of the American Psychological Association increasingly researched sex and sexuality, classifying pedophilia as a paraphilia using child sexual victimization as a diagnostic indicator and criterion. Gay liberation activists discussed inequalities posed between hetero- and homosexual ages of consent and, more rarely, thought about the total abolition of age of consent.

    The Regional Cosmopolitanism of George Woodcock

    Transoceanic Canada: The Regional Cosmopolitanism of George Woodcock by Matthew Hiebert B.A., The University of Winnipeg, 1997 M.A., The University of Amsterdam, 2002 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF Doctor of Philosophy in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (English) The University Of British Columbia (Vancouver) August 2013 c Matthew Hiebert, 2013 ABSTRACT Through a critical examination of his oeuvre in relation to his transoceanic geographical and intellectual mobility, this dissertation argues that George Woodcock (1912-1995) articulates and applies a normative and methodological approach I term “regional cosmopolitanism.” I trace the development of this philosophy from its germination in London’s thirties and forties, when Woodcock drifted from the poetics of the “Auden generation” towards the anti-imperialism of Mahatma Gandhi and the anarchist aesthetic modernism of Sir Herbert Read. I show how these connected influences—and those also of Mulk Raj Anand, Marie-Louise Berneri, Prince Peter Kropotkin, George Orwell, and French Surrealism—affected Woodcock’s critical engagements via print and radio with the Canadian cultural landscape of the Cold War and its concurrent countercultural long sixties. Woodcock’s dynamic and dialectical understanding of the relationship between literature and society produced a key intervention in the development of Canadian literature and its critical study leading up to the establishment of the Canada Council and the groundbreaking journal Canadian Literature. Through his research and travels in India—where he established relations with the exiled Dalai Lama and major figures of an independent English Indian literature—Woodcock relinquished the universalism of his modernist heritage in practising, as I show, a postcolonial and postmodern situated critical cosmopolitanism that advocates globally relevant regional culture as the interplay of various traditions shaped by specific geographies.
