The first and second parts of the collection include in manuscript and published form many of Evans’s articles, short stories, radio plays, poems, and novels, including Mist on the River and 0 Time in Your Flight. Parts one and two also contain many of Evans’s diaries, journals, notebooks, sketchbooks, and quotation collections which provide valuable insights into the author’s personality. His extensive business and personal correspondence includes letters to and from Margaret Laurence, Silver Donald Cameron, and Grace Maclnnis, as well as many readers and publishing houses. There is also information on a segment of Evans’s genealogy and a number of items relating to the awarding of his honourary degree from Simon Fraser University in 1984. The third part of the collection consists of the papers of Hubert Evans’s wife, Ann (Anna) Winter Evans. While there is only a small amount of personal and business correspondence in this part of the collection, there are a large number of typescripts and publications of Ann Evans’s numerous stories and articles. Also included are a number of photographs, clippings, and a wealth of notes which shed light upon the composition of her works. The fourth and final part of the collection consists of audio and video recordings of interviews, poetry, stories, and novels used by Hubert Evans when his eyesight began to fail and he could no longer write with pen and paper. Linear metres of shelf space: Part I: Ca. 1 m. Part II: Ca. 1 m. Part III: Ca. .5 m. Literary rights remain with the Evans family. The collection was donated by the family ofHubert Evans in August 1986. —111— BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE Hubert Reginald Evans, called “the elder of our tribe” by Margaret Laurence, was a writer and poet as well as a newspaper reporter and salmon hatchery superintendent. Born in Ontario in 1892, Evans moved to British Columbia permanently after World War I. He married Ann (Anna) Emily Winter in 1920, and in 1926, Evans decided to try freelance writing as a full time occupation. After a couple of “lean years,” as Evans says in his autobiographical note, he and his wife were able to support themselves and their three children. From the 1930s through the 1950s, Evans published many adventure and wilderness stories for young readers. He expanded his readership in 1954 with the publication of Mist on the River, now considered a Canadian “classic.” Canadian audiences were also able to listen to his radio plays and adaptations of his stories which were produced by the CBC. Evans’s other major work was completed in 1979 with the publication of 0 Time in Your Flight, which met with great acclaim. He also produced three volumes of poetry during the late 1970s and early 1980s, dictating many of the poems onto cassette tapes and having them transcribed because of his failing eyesight. He was the recipient of an honourary doctorate from Simon Fraser University in 1984, and in 1986, died at the age of 93. —iv— PART I Box No.! Series: Item Description Ch.

Books have the power to profoundly express the complex and rich cultural life that makes Nova Scotia a place people want to visit, live, work and play. This year, the 150th Anniversary of Confederation provided Public Libraries across the province with a unique opportunity to involve Nova Scotians in a celebration of our literary heritage. The value of public engagement in the 150 Books of Influence project is demonstrated by the astonishing breadth and quality of titles listed within.

  • The Artssmarts Story Silver Donald Cameron the Artssmarts Story
    The ArtsSmarts Story Silver Donald Cameron The ArtsSmarts Story hen Silver Donald Cameron, one of Canada’s most creative and engaging writers, agreed to document the ArtsSmarts WStory, we could not have been more pleased. The J.W. McConnell Family Foundation developed and is funding ArtsSmarts in order that artists might bring a new way of learning to children in schools and communities across Canada. It took very little time for Donald, through his warm way with children and his keen ability to observe the world and all of its nuances, to understand the magic of creative learning through art as well as the value and potential of “art-infused” education. He shares that magic here. The Canadian Conference of the Arts has been an essential contributor to the development of ArtsSmarts and acts as the National Secretariat for the program. For more information on the CCA, please visit www.ccarts.ca. — The J.W. McConnell Family Foundation Photographs courtesy of ArtsSmarts Partners across Canada. © Canadian Conference of the Arts, October 2001 ISBN 0-920007-44-9 Cover and this page: Mural project in mixed media (detail) by artist Joey Mallet and students at Maple Creek Middle School in Coquitlam, BC. The mural was part of an ArtStarts in Schools project. S ydney Vrana raises his baton. The classroom falls silent. Vrana brings the baton down, and the light, silvery chime of a plucked dulcimer floats on the air. The recorders pick up the melody. The percussion follows: drums, triangle, cymbals and shaken gourds, then xylophone, lute and tambourine. Measured and ethereal, the music evokes a stately dance of robed figures in mid-air: imperturbable, decorous and serene.

  • Office of the Prime Minister 80 Wellington Street Ottawa, on K1A 0A2
    Office of the Prime Minister 80 Wellington Street Ottawa, ON K1A 0A2 February 17, 2015 Dear Prime Minister Harper: As business leaders, commercial and recreational fishing associations, scientists, lawyers and environmentalists who care deeply about sustainable jobs, prosperous coastal communities and healthy ecosystems, we are gravely concerned about the Department of Fisheries and Oceans’ proposal to, in essence, exempt the aquaculture industry from the Fisheries Act provisions that prohibit the release of deleterious substances into water frequented by fish. We believe the proposed changes, if enacted, will lead to the discharge of increasingly powerful pesticides and other potentially damaging substances into the ecosystem, significantly reduce government regulatory oversight, and damage Canada’s commercial interests as a provider of untainted seafood. Needless to say, these factors diminish our international reputation for environmental protection. The Fisheries Act has been a mainstay of environmental protection for more than 100 years and the section dealing with deleterious substances is key to ensuring that those of us who use Canada’s aquatic ecosystems, be they marine or freshwater, do so in an environmentally sound and responsible manner. This section of the Act has never been used inappropriately or frivolously. It has however been used to stop activities highly damaging to fish and their habitat. The most recent instance involved an aquaculture operator in New Brunswick who pled guilty to violating the Fisheries Act, in illegally using a pesticide at 15 aquaculture sites, over an extended period of time and despite warnings from Environment Canada. The pesticide is known to be toxic to lobsters and was likely the cause of mortality in hundreds of lobsters found dead in lobster traps during the period of illegal use.

    Book Reviews Seasons in the Rain, by Silver Donald Cameron. McClelland & Stewart, 1978. Paper, $6.95. I remember Donald Cameron (the Silver has been a later adornment) as a young UBC academic who astonished me when I was editing Cana­ dian Literature by submitting an essay which actually found something new to say about Stephen Leacock. I accepted it and — as Cameron remarks in Seasons in the Rain — started him on what has become a professional writing career. More than a decade ago Cameron departed from academia and since then he has worked freelance as one of the brighter and more urbane writers in popular magazines like Weekend and Saturday Night. Seasons in the Rain is a collection of pieces that mostly appeared first in such journals and which have been minimally polished to fit them into a cohesive volume. Normally such collections are not very interesting, since the writing in popular magazines is looser and the attention is nearer the surface than one expects in a book. What relaxes one's mind on a plane or after Sunday lunch is not usually durable enough to take a second and more serious reading. But Seasons in the Rain does hold one's attention, and I think there are two reasons for it. One is the unity of the book, which consists of a series of pieces written around a series of returns to the British Columbian haunts of Cameron's childhood and youth. Born "accidentally" in On­ tario, Cameron regarded himself as to all intents and purposes a Van- couverite, which "means I think of mountains as friendly, and I will never be at home away from the sea." But he is a self-exiled British Columbian, for in 1964 he departed and he has not returned except as a visitor.
