The two club goals set for 2020-2021 were: to keep the club meetings and business running using virtual technology; and to provide as many Interest group activities as possible so that members could engage with friends from the comfort of their home. There was a significant learning curve for all involved but today we can reflect on how we adapted as a real achievement! I know that we all yearn for the time when we can gather again, and it will happen. I also sense that our use of Zoom will continue in the future because of its convenience. Virtual technology enabled a level of collaboration with regional, provincial, and national groups as never before. The Eastern Ontario Presidents’ Council met monthly and fostered exchange of ideas, invitations to attend other club meetings, and pooled ideas for fundraisers. The Speaker Series from Ontario Council was available to everyone in an online forum, cost free and convenient. Lastly, National meetings welcomed everyone in the same manner, and I hope that you will take advantage of these invites and attend the AGMs this May and June, respectively. I would like to thank the members of this year’s Executive for rallying to these circumstances and learning to do things in new ways. I also thank the many conveners for organizing and hosting meetings for the enjoyment of our members. Our club is fortunate that we have women who stepped up and offered new Interest groups that fit the virtual reality so well. Genealogy, meditation, and morning coffee chats grew from this need. Many established groups adapted to online formats seamlessly. Some outdoor activities continued depending on weather conditions, so our club offered something for everyone. Bravo! What we realize now is that there is a role for technology in how our club operates going forward, just to what degree will depend on future circumstances, comfort with computers, and the ingenuity of the women in our membership. In the short term, our club will need to seek out innovative ways to generate more funds for the Scholarship Trust, continue mentorship of technology use, engage in emerging societal issues, and focus on building our membership diversity and numbers with the support of National. Aligning with this club agenda, Ontario Council will focus on the Environment in its 2021-2022 Speaker Series and CFUW National will look at both membership enhancement and governance related to the GWI Opt in/out model that is proposed for next year. The business of advocating for women and what is important for women will continue and, today, I invite you to get involved and seek out ways to make a difference. CFUW Kanata members are dedicated women and I appreciate the opportunity that I have had to work with so many of you this past year.

It is a non- partisan, voluntary, self-funded organization. Our club works to improve the status of women and to promote human rights, public education, social justice, and peace. This annual report for CFUW/Kanata is organized using five headings. Each heading reflects a stated purpose of our club and captures the activities of the past year that support these aims. The five purposes are: • Promote Lifelong Learning & Education • Award Scholarships • Advocate for the Advancement of Women, Human Rights and Common Good • Promote Cooperation, Networking, Support and Understanding Among Women • Apply our Knowledge to Effect Change Promote lifelong learning & education General Meetings were held the second Tuesday of the month at 7:00 PM using Zoom technology. The meeting format began with a guest speaker, followed by the business meeting. Attendance usually ranged from 36-48 participants; this year members from other Ontario East Clubs were invited to join us for high interest topics. As all meetings were conducted online, our speakers participated from remote distances such as Winnipeg, Waterloo and Halifax. The program incorporated suggestions from a spring 2020 survey when possible.

  • Ontario-Québec Electricity Collaboration and Interprovincial
    Ontario-Québec electricity collaboration and interprovincial trade barriers: using the Agreement on Internal Trade to promote a more sustainable electricity sector in Canada Zachary D’Onofrio 31 March 2016 A Major Paper submitted to the Faculty of Environmental Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master in Environmental Studies, York University, Toronto Ontario, Canada ________________ __________________ Student Signature Supervisor Signature Zachary D’Onofrio Mark Winfield Abstract The purpose of this major paper is to examine the potential for the Agreement on Internal Trade (“AIT”) to facilitate electricity trade between the provinces of Ontario and Québec. The AIT covers a wide range of topics, but its chapter on energy was never completed. The principle objective of this paper is to identify current interprovincial trade barriers in the electricity sector and determine whether the addition of an energy chapter to the AIT would be a viable method of minimizing those barriers. In recent months, importing electricity from Québec has been increasingly recognized as an alternative to building electricity production infrastructure in Ontario. Two recent workshops in Toronto and Montréal identified a number of potential benefits that could be achieved through greater electricity collaboration between the two provinces. These include technical benefits such as greater flexibility and the balancing of intermittent renewable energy resources; economic benefits from a price somewhere between what Québec currently receives for its electricity exports to the Northeastern United States and the price that Ontario is planning to pay for its nuclear refurbishments; and the political opportunity to act cooperatively in demonstrating leadership on the issue of climate change.

    June 19, 1967 childhood shows the man, morning shows the day." Milton the Jews, before, during and following the war had to be EDITORIAL reckoned with. The Commission finally brought a recom- mendation to partition Palestine, making two states, Jewish and Arab. The Zionists were jubilant, the Arabs utterly dismayed. The UN General Assembly voted approval of the Commission's recommendation the same year and the Jewish state came into being, May 1948. This writer remembers a dramatic news-cast given by Lowell Thomas the evening of May 15, 1948. In his inimical GOD AND GEOGRAPHY style he emphasized that for the first time in more than 2000 years, there was a state known as Israel. A bloody conflict between the Arabs and Jews followed in 1948. This tragic war resulted in the displacement of 800,000 to one million Arabs. There was another bloody skirmish in 1956.

    August 2013 Mr. Rémi Racine, Chair, Board of Directors, CBC/Radio-Canada Mr. Hubert T. Lacroix, President and CEO, CBC/Radio-Canada Members of the Board of Directors, CBC/Radio-Canada Dear Mr. Racine, Mr. Lacroix and Members of the Board of Directors: I am pleased to submit the annual report of the Office of the Ombudsman, English Services, for the period April 1, 2012, to March 31, 2013. Sincerely, Esther Enkin Ombudsman English Services Office of the Ombudsman, English Services | P.O. Box 500, Station A, Toronto, Ontario M5W 1E6 [email protected] | www.cbc.ca/ombudsman TABLE OF CONTENTS The Ombudsman’s Report 2 Le rapport de l’ombudsman des services anglais 6 (French translation of The Ombudsman’s Report) Complaints reviewed by the Ombudsman 11 APPENDICES I Chart: Number of communications received 75 II Mandate of the Office of the Ombudsman 76 THE OMBUDSMAN’S REPORT 2012-13 This has been a fairly quiet year in the Ombudsman’s office. No one issue or event grabbed the public’s attention or attracted strong response. That doesn’t mean Canadians did not reach out anyway. This fiscal year the office dealt with 2,618 complaints, communications, inquiries and expressions of concern, including 1,586 about news and information content. It is noteworthy that over 1,000 were outside the Ombudsman’s mandate. In contrast to previous years, no one topic or program attracted more than twenty letters. The one exception to that was as a result of a campaign to have Kevin O’Leary removed from CBC. The petition campaign was launched by Rebel Youth Magazine.
