There is no doubt that students '"ho graduate from Massey and receive a diploma have certain doors opened to them automatically. These doors lead to opportunities non -graduates dream about.

NIGHSWANDER'S MESSAGE During this past year, it has been a privilege for me to meet a new group which is doing so much to establish the reputation of a comparatively young school. Rapidly the name of Massey Secondary School is becoming more favourably known throughout the community. I would like to congratulate all the students who have made this possible. It doesn't happen by accident. Iligh academic achievement and pre­ dominance in sports does a great deal to establish this reputation. However, the greatest effect in this respect is brought about by the students who do a decent day's school work and behave themselves in a mature fashion. For­ tunately, most students fall in this category. Massey is at the top. Keep it there. 3 MA THEivlATICS AND SCIENCE BACK RO\\: l\lr. Tamm, l\lr. Gault, l\lr. Totten, Mr. D .

But where can the new spirit arise? It must be in the institute of learning, the secondary schools and the universities. Especially in the secondary schools an effort must be made to make the student realize that he is an integral part of Canada. There should be more clubs in the schools which foster an active interest in Canadian affairs. Yet, this is not enough, for there must be participation by the students themselves. I believe that one's inter­ ests in out-of-school activities (clubs, sports) in early life, directly influence one's activity in his country in later life. Students, look around you, and you will see a glorious country with unlimited EDITORIAL potential, waiting to be discovered and fulfilled. In this the hundredth year of Canada's nationhood, grave problems exist which BOB DOUMANI threaten to rip the fabric of our nation asunder before it ever sees its second century of life.

  • Project Folder: Honour Without Courage
    Project by Levi Orta Montreal, 2013 In Quebec, 85% of the population rejects the monarchy as a model of representation for Canada; the monarchy justifies itself as a cultural tradition of the country. I am interested in linking the concepts of “representation” in art and “representation” in politics, triggering a perversion of both. The project uses a fictional event where I save the life of a woman disguised as Queen Elizabeth II in order to apply for the “Star of Courage”, a decoration awarded by the representative of the monarchy in Canada by order of the Queen. The whole application process, the proofs of the heroic action, and the expected granting of the medal are part of the project. It is one representation that meets another, the realities of art and politics dissolving into each other and becoming accomplices. … Au Québec, 85% de la population rejette la monarchie comme modèle de représentation du Canada ; la monarchie justifie l’implémentation de ses pratiques comme un sujet de tradition culturelle du pays. Je suis intéressé à lier les concepts de « représentation » dans l’art et de « représentation » dans la politique, afin de provoquer une perversion de ces représentations. Le projet consiste à utiliser un incident fictif lors duquel je sauve la vie d'une femme déguisée en Reine Elizabeth II afin de soumettre ma candidature à la nomination de la « Star of Courage », une décoration décernée par la monarchie canadienne sur ordre de la Reine. Tout le processus d’application, les preuves de l’action héroïque ainsi que l’octroi tant attendu de la médaille font partie du projet.

  • NOVEMBER 2004 Jim Coutts
    THE TENETS AND CONSTITUENCY ROOTS OF LIBERALISM — OVERHAULING THE RED MACHINE Jim Coutts When Prime Minister Martin’s campaign strategists discarded the Liberal brand to run under the Team Martin banner in the last election, they abandoned the political trademark of a party that has governed Canada for most of the last century. Jim Coutts, a lifelong Liberal activist who served Prime Ministers Pearson and Trudeau, writes that the Liberals’ fabled Red Machine has actually been in long-term decline and is overdue for a major overhaul. He identifies five major “policy markers” that must be renewed: reform, French-English partnership, Canadian identity, balanced economic management and an open-door immigration policy. “These markers,” he writes, “have been part of the Liberal fabric long enough, and pursued consistently enough, to have become part of the Liberal identity.” Along with intellectual renewal, he writes, the Liberal Party needs to be rebuilt at the grassroots, and Martin has the opportunity “to become the first Liberal leader since Mackenzie King to pay serious attention to constituency-level party recruitment.” En troquant l’étiquette libérale pour la bannière de « équipe Martin », les stratèges de campagne du premier ministre ont délaissé la marque d’un parti qui a gouverné le Canada pour l’essentiel du dernier siècle. Militant libéral de toujours et conseiller des premiers ministres Pearson et Trudeau, Jim Coutts juge que la légendaire « machine rouge » est en perte de vitesse depuis un bon moment déjà et qu’il est grand temps de la rénover en profondeur. Il faudrait ainsi renouveler cinq grandes doctrines libérales : réformisme, partenariat anglais-français, identité canadienne, gestion économique équilibrée et ouverture des politiques d’immigration.

  • Detroit Heritage River Nomination Report
    Nomination of the Detroit River Submission Requirements This document sets out the criteria of the Canadian Heritage Rivers Board (CHRS) for the nomination of the Detroit River as a Heritage River within the Canadian Heritage Rivers System (CHRS). The CHRS is the vehicle by which the nominating agency identifies the heritage significance of a river and justifies its inclusion in the CHRS. The purpose of this format is to act as a guide to nominating agencies and to provide consistency in the nomination process. CHRS provides an opportunity for the recognition and conservation of rivers deemed to be of outstanding Canadian heritage value. This value is obtained when it has been determined that a river is an outstanding representative of or unique in a province or territory. By the inclusion of such rivers in a single coast-to-coast system, they become representative of Canada’s river heritage as a whole, thus reflecting a “Canadian value”. 1 Nomination of the Detroit River Canadian Heritage Rivers System The Canadian Heritage Rivers System (CHRS) has been established by the federal, provincial and territorial governments to recognize outstanding rivers of Canada and ensuring management which will protect these rivers and enhance their significant heritage values for the long term benefit and enjoyment of Canadians. To qualify for the Canadian Heritage Rivers System, a river or section of a river must be of outstanding significance in one or more areas: natural heritage, human heritage, or recreational values. The nominated section should be large enough to encompass these values and provide the user with an appreciation of the river’s resources, as well as an enjoyable recreational experience.

We are inspired by the bravery of our soldiers at Normandy and moved by the words of John McCrae’s "In Flanders Fields." We are amazed at the vision of Louis-Joseph Papineau and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. We are enchanted by the paintings of Emily Carr and the writings of Lucy Maud Montgomery. We look back in awe at the wisdom of Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George-Étienne Cartier. We are moved to tears of joy by the humour of Stephen Leacock and tears of gratitude for the courage of Tecumseh. We hold in high regard the determination of Emily Murphy and Rev. Josiah Henson to overcome obstacles which stood in the way of their dreams. We give thanks for the work of the Victorian Order of Nurses and those who organ- ized the Underground Railroad. We think of those who suffered and died at Grosse Île in the dream of reaching a new home.

  • Specialized Classes & Unique Settings Student Profiles & Placement Process
    specialized classes & unique settings Student Profiles & Placement Process September, 2016 0 Document Background and Rationale The Calgary Board of Education (CBE) believes that learning experiences must be as unique as every student and that in an inclusive educational system an array of programming is available to ensure that each student is taught in the way that they learn best. Personalization of learning for all students requires that we ensure the CBE has educational programs and settings that attend to each student’s unique needs, abilities, interests and learning goals. Personalizing learning for most students occurs within their community school where universal, targeted and specialized instructional strategies, resources, supports and services ensure student success. For some students the personalization of learning is best met in a specialized classes or unique setting which allows for specific strategies, resources, technologies, and personnel to attend to the individual learning needs of these students. Most of the CBE’s specialized classes are situated within community school settings. The principal, as the instructional leader, is responsible for ensuring appropriate staffing; resource allocation, instructional strategies and supports are in place for all learners in their school, including students in specialized classes. The goal of this document is to provide school-based administrators and members of Area Learning Teams with placement process information including: student profile information, placement timelines and required documentation for students to be considered for placement into specialized classes and unique settings. The focus of this document is not on a student’s disabilities, but rather on the specialized classes and unique settings offered in the CBE and how learning is experienced by students in these classes.

This project is based on an analysis of newspaper articles published by William Lyon Mackenzie and his contemporaries, diplomatic cables between Washington D.C. and London, letters, and accounts of celebrations, toasts, and public meetings which occurred between 1837 and 1842.

Reacting to geographic isolation from major metropolitan areas and a looming psychic crisis motivated many of these individuals to act.
