    presents Sons of Italy 32nd Annual Gala March 10th, 2018 RBC CONVENTION CENTRE PORT OF UP S IN Liberty • Equality • Fraternity Congratulations to Seven Oaks General Hospital Foundation greetings Order Sons of Italy - Garibaldi Lodge President Tom De Nardi Honoured guests, ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of Sons of Italy, Garibaldi Lodge and The Canadian Italian Business and Professionals Association (CIBPA), I would like to sincerely thank you for attending this year’s 32nd Annual Gala in support of the “Seven Oaks General Hospital Foundation and The Chronic Disease Innovation Centre”. For the past 31 years the Garibaldi Lodge along with its sisters, La Lupa di Roma, have been funding and promoting Italian culture and language throughout Manitoba. Our members not only support the rich Italian Community but greater Manitoba; medical research, hospitals, education, inner-city poverty, food banks and immigrants are just some of the areas our organization has made a difference. In the past year alone, our dynamic organization has been able to contribute over $200,000 to several deserving and needy causes; Holy Rosary Parish and its inner-city “Outreach Project”, funding of specialized equipment for the Health Sciences Centre, as well as, multiple “Oak Table” lunches feeding the homeless and our annual Sons of Italy ‘Christmas Eve Feast’ for new immigrants. Each year CIBPA takes great pride in recognizing the entrepreneurial or professional accomplishments of one deserving individual. This year we are honoured to add Dr. Rayleen De Luca, C.M., O.M., professor and former department head of Clinical Psychology at the University of Manitoba, to that list.

  • Sports and Nationalism
    English 1130 Sports and Nationalism Organizing question: Should sport be kept ‘pure,’ separate or protected from jingoistic patriotism/militarism? Or should nationalism and sports be merged, and if so, how and in what ways? To answer this question in a precise way, define the different kinds of nationalism (patriotic, civic, ethnic, etc.) Be specific in your terminology and logical development of your ideas. You can choose a specific sport and/or a specific country (such as Canada), to help focus your paper. A few definitions to aid precision in the discussion: Civic Nationalism (also called ‘liberal nationalism’): Civic nationalists define the nation as an association of people with equal and shared political rights, and an allegiance to similar political procedures. The nation is a political entity, inclusive and liberal. Anyone can, so to speak, join through becoming a citizen. http://www.journalpioneer.com/Opinion/Columns/2011-12- 28/article-2849291/Civic-and-ethnic-nationalism/1 Example: In Canada, civic nationalism is associated with a shared Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and shared participation in the life of national civic institutions (shared rights such as voting in elections, or access to public health care, and ascribing to a shared national identity via traditional national institutions such as the CBC, NFB, etc.) Ethnic nationalism: a form of nationalism wherein the "nation" is defined in terms of ethnicity. Whatever specific ethnicity is involved, ethnic nationalism always includes some element of descent from previous generations and the implied claim of ethnic essentialism, i.e. the understanding of ethnicity as an essence that remains unchanged over time.

  • The Hybrid Monumental Symbols of Canada's Warrior Nation Moment
    The Hybrid Monumental Symbols of Canada’s Warrior Nation Moment by Ian Alexander Mortimer A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts In Canadian Studies Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2014 Ian Alexander Mortimer Abstract Since its majority re-election in 2011, the Harper government has led a project of re-branding of Canadian identity. This study focuses on three militaristic symbols from this project as important cultural texts unto themselves. All three share a Hybrid Monumental form, articulating a narrative of Canada as a Warrior Nation. They communicate a monumental vision of Canada as being defined by war and sacrifice for the nation. However, they are all polysemic symbols, hybridized through the layering of established symbols of Canadian identity within their representation, tempering their monumental messaging. These Hybrid Monumental symbols are the product of a mutual commitment amongst the Harper Government and key stakeholders to market themselves as iconic brands, in an attempt to forge a connection with a shared target audience. These symbols serve as markers of the reality of the adoption of iconic branding and marketing as a primary political strategy. This reality has created an environment where not even Canadian soldiers’ deaths are immune from being co-opted and collapsed into brand marks, used to target certain customers and hopefully secure their votes, while remaining ambiguous enough to allow the brand’s image to shift and move on when the market conditions change. ii Acknowledgment Thank you to professors, Peter Hodgins, for your guidance, humor and confidence in me, Peter Thompson, for your encouragement and enthusiasm, Richard Nimijean, for inviting me to share my ideas with your students, and Aleksandra Bennett, for showing me I could do this in the first place.
