LETTER OF THANKS FROM A GRATEFUL PATIENT July 18, 2007 Women’s College Hospital 76 Grenville Street Toronto. ON M5S 1B2 Dear Executive Team, Board of Directors and Staff, It is with great admiration, respect and appreciation that I write this letter to honour the team of professionals who generously shared with me their expertise and compassion. I believe, Helen Mark. Leslie Good, Dr. Holloway, Dr. Semple and the resident doctors, are truly the “heart and soul” behind my personal healing. In January 2007 I was diagnosed with DCI in my breast and it was determined the best course of treatment for me was a mastectomy. On February 14th, Valentines Day, I lost my left breast. Today, July 18, 2007, I have completed full reconstruction and feel like a whole woman both physically and emotionally. The trauma of loosing a breast triggers a roller coaster of feelings and a host of memories for a woman - from your first bra, to nursing your children, to the jokes women share about their bodies as they age. As much as women with breast cancer can join together and share common feelings, from my perspective, it is a unique journey guided by the circumstances and people in our lives. My husband, after 25 years of marriage, left me 3 weeks after my mastectomy and my family of origin lives many miles away. This combination could have resulted in my breast cancer journey being a lonely and isolating experience. Fortunately this was not the case, for the walk I took through this phase of my life was not only filled with the love and support of my many friends, but I was embraced by the wings of the angels that have dedicated themselves to the patients of Women’s College Hospital. The staff of the hospital gave me the strength and confidence I needed to face my diagnosis, prepare for healing and come through the other side knowing it is the people we meet along the way that colour our lives. I am a 48 year old woman, with a beautiful story to tell. It was truly a blessing to have been placed in the hands of the competent staff of Women’s College Hospital. Please congratulate this team of dedicated professionals and remind them that they are making this world a better place. With appreciation, Lana Feinstein BEST WISHES, MARY! With friends and family present, Mary Addison celebrated her retirement on Thursday, August 30, after 23 years of dedication to Women’s College Hospital. Mary is shown at right holding up one of her farewell gifts, an ankh charm for her bracelet. We wish you well as you embark on a new journey!

  • Ontario Has a Power Problem
    Ontario Has a Power Problem. By KAREN HOWLETT TORONTO — From Friday's Globe and Mail Published Friday, Jan. 08, 2010 Ontario has a power problem. A strategy to subsidize the province's nascent green energy industry is starting to sting businesses and many households that find themselves paying the biggest markups on electricity pricing in the country. Even as electricity demand - and market prices - dropped last year with the global economic downturn , electricity bills have risen steadily on the back of generous contracts signed by the province's power planning agency. Now, the government of Premier Dalton McGuinty is preparing for a looming political backlash. What's at stake is an industrial strategy that's on a collision course with a century- old policy of delivering electricity to consumers at the lowest possible cost. After the loss of hundreds of thousands of jobs in the manufacturing heartland, Mr. McGuinty vowed to create more than 50,000 new ones through the Green Energy Act. But he is building this new sector - and burnishing his green credentials - by ratcheting up electricity costs. The average market price for electricity in Ontario is at its lowest level since the market was opened up in 2002. It was 3.3 cents a kilowatt hour yesterday, compared with a record high average of 9.97 cents in September, 2005. But customers are not reaping the benefits of lower prices because the government is recovering the cost of new projects from power users. The government is luring green-energy investors with the promise of generous long- term contracts that include a guaranteed revenue stream.

  • Understanding Ipperwash
    Treaties Matter Understanding Ipperwash Message from Chief Cloud Aannii From the Chippewas of Kettle and Stony Point, I am pleased to provide a brief report on the happenings in our community in relation to the Ipperwash file. First of all I would like to thank everyone in the Anishinabek Nation for your continued and on-going support for our communities of Wiikedong and Aazhoodena. We thank all the people who came out for our recent Gathering at the former Ipperwash Park on October 15 & 16, 2010. We organized this gathering to honour, thank and remember those strong ones that stood beside Dudley the night of the fatal shooting. At the Gathering, we announced that Dudley did not die in vain, for we have uncovered our ancestors’ remains in the former Ipperwash Park, through the archeological study. The study which is still on-going is being completed by Timmins Martelle Heritage Consultants Inc. whose lead archeologist is Brandy George, a member of our community. We also unveiled the monument in honour of Dudley, which was designed by his brother Pierre George-Mandoka. We shared and cried many tears as we listened to the stories of that fateful weekend in 1995. The support of Anishinabek Nation Grand Chief Patrick Madahbee and Deputy Grand Chief Glen Hare is sincerely appreciated. In relation to the former Ipperwash Park, the Resolution Team continues to meet to discuss items such as the archeological study, the environmental assessment, the official survey, third party interests and matters related to the transfer of the park to the Department of Indian Affairs, which will hold the lands in trust for our people.

  • Do Good Intentions Beget Good Policy? Two Steps Forward and One Step Back in the Construction of Domestic Violence in Ontario
    Do Good Intentions Beget Good Policy? Two Steps Forward and One Step Back in the Construction of Domestic Violence in Ontario by April Lucille Girard-Brown A thesis submitted to the Department of Sociology In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen‟s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada January, 2012 Copyright ©April Lucille Girard-Brown, 2012 Abstract The construction of domestic violence shifted and changed as this issue was forced from the private shadows to the public stage. This dissertation explores how government policy initiatives - Bill 117: An Act to Better Protect Victims of Domestic Violence and the Domestic Violence Action Plan (DVAP) - shaped our understanding of domestic violence as a social problem in the first decade of the twenty-first century in Ontario. Specifically, it asks whose voices were heard, whose were silenced, how domestic violence was conceptualized by various stakeholders. In order to do this I analyzed the texts of Bill 117, its debates, the DVAP, as well as fourteen in-depth interviews with anti- violence advocates in Ontario to shed light on their construction of the domestic violence problem. Then I examined who (both state and non-state actors) regarded the work as „successful‟, flawed or wholly ineffective. In particular, I focused on the claims and counter-claims advanced by MPPs, other government officials, feminist or other women‟s group advocates and men‟s or fathers‟ rights group supporters and organizations. The key themes derived from the textual analysis of documents and the interviews encapsulate the key issues which formed the dominant construction of domestic violence in Ontario between 2000 and 2009: the never-ending struggles over funding, debates surrounding issues of rights and responsibilities, solutions proposed to address domestic violence, and finally the continued appearance of deserving and undeserving victims in public policy.
