TORONTO 62832-16 1073357v1 Page 5 of 145 Page 6 of 145 Briefing Note for Council for WIFN Chief and Council Date: August 7, 2015 Subject: New Horizon’s for Seniors Program funding application Issue: A Band Council Resolution reflecting knowledge and approval of the activities in the proposal is required to be submitted with the application. Attachments: A copy of the application. Draft BCR Background: Elder Abuse has been a long standing issue on Walpole Island. Home and Community Care has taken a lead role, since 2010, in promoting Elder Abuse awareness. HCCP was the original founder of the Elder Abuse Awareness Committee. The Committee has sponsored an Awareness Day, an Awareness March down the main street and an Awareness Open House. They have held fundraising events such as a 50-50 draw, a loony auction and raffle. These events, in themselves, have raised awareness of the issues of elder abuse. Chief and Council have signed a declaration against elder abuse. It is important to continue the awareness campaign in order to effect change in both the abused and the abusers. For this reason we have applied for funding to develop a calendar, which will depict elder abuse issues each month. The calendar will be distributed to all households, businesses and band offices so that all community members can be reminded on a daily basis of the importance to respect the elders in the community. The funding will also be used to sponsor a one day workshop on elder abuse awareness which will be open to everyone in the community. The funding request is for $17,300.95 Considerations: please consider supporting this funding application to New Horizons for Seniors Program for these elder abuse awareness initiatives. Recommendations: approve a Band Council Resolution reflecting knowledge and approval of the activities outlined in the proposal.

  • Up Against the Squeeze: Measures to Help CBC/Radio-Canada Meet Its Mandate
    Up against the squeeze: Measures to help CBC/Radio-Canada meet its mandate Canadian Media Guild Submission in response to BNC CRTC 2011-379-3 October 5, 2012 1. The Canadian Media Guild (CMG) is a union that represents more than 5,000 CBC/Radio-Canada employees and freelancers outside Quebec and the City of Moncton. Our members are on-air hosts and anchors, reporters, videographers, producers, sound and lighting technicians, media librarians, IT and finance specialists, and freelance contributors. As employees on the frontlines, we have a unique perspective on public broadcasting in Canada. 2. We are pleased to participate in this public process and we strongly support the renewal of CBC/Radio-Canada’s broadcast licences. We request to appear at the public hearing in order to comment on any additional information that becomes available by that time. Executive Summary 3. It is impossible to consider the renewal of the CBC1’s broadcast licences without looking at the state of the Canadian broadcast industry and the insecurity of funding that is provided for public interest programming and services. 4. The CBC plays a fundamental role in Canadian broadcasting, in the promotion and development of local and national talent, and in its major contribution to Canada's cultural life. It is the most important cultural engine in the country. As a public broadcaster, ideally the CBC should be funded adequately to fulfill the myriad of programming the Broadcasting Act mandates it to deliver. Unfortunately, this is not the case. To make matters worse, after the recent mergers and acquisitions, the CBC now finds itself squeezed from all sides of an industry that Carleton University Professor Dwayne Winseck points out is highly concentrated by global standards and more than twice as concentrated as in the US2.

Application 1. The Commission has the authority, pursuant to section 9(1) of the Broadcasting Act (the Act), to issue and renew licences for such terms not exceeding seven years and subject to such conditions related to the circumstances of the licensee as it deems appropriate for the implementation of the broadcasting policy set out in section 3(1) of the Act. 2. Amherstburg Broadcasting Corporation (Amherstburg Broadcasting) filed an application for a broadcasting licence to operate a low-power, English-language commercial FM radio station in Amherstburg, Ontario.1 The proposed station would operate at frequency 107.9 MHz (channel 300LP) with an average effective radiated power of 50 watts and an effective height of the antenna above average terrain of 51.6 metres. 3. Amherstburg Broadcasting is a for-profit corporation wholly-owned and effectively controlled by Mr. Martyn Adler, the sole director and Chief Executive Officer of the corporation. Mr. Adler is a Canadian residing in Canada, and is therefore eligible to hold a broadcasting licence pursuant to the Direction to the CRTC (Ineligibility of Non-Canadians). 1 As set out in Broadcasting Regulatory Policy 2014-554, when the Commission receives an application for a new radio station, it generally issues a call for applications, subject to certain exceptions.
