It was under review is the reply from Ottawa! In 2013, there were four Meritorious Service Cross (civil) awarded in Canada. No MSCs had not been given since 21 April 2005. It was an odd mixture - of the four MSCs, one already had an MSC (military) and would receive an Officer of the Order of Canada within a year (Chis Hadfield); one already had the Order of Canada (Clara Hughes) and one had died (Sarah Burke). The other was to the Mayor of Lac-Mégantic, Quebec. All were well deserved. And all looked very political. This then raises the question, will the MSM (civil) again be awarded or will this become a little used medal. In the past, Canadians who received Olympic gold medals received Meritorious Service Decorations but this stopped with the review. I know several of the MSM (civil) recipients and they are outstanding citizens, well deserving of their honour and they wear the honour proudly. Suddenly, in the Canada Gazette of 02 January 2016, a large number of MSC and MSM (civil) awards were announced. No other announcement about what the review found or request for nominations.

Vancouver 2010 IPC Winter Paralympic Games (4 Minutes)
DESA Disability Film Festival (DDFF) Short films have been selected on the basis of their content that work to raise awareness of disability issues and to promote the full and effective participation of persons with disabilities in society. Mundo Alas (89 minutes) An inspiring musical road trip through Argentina with folksinger León Gieco and a band of musicians and dancers, Mundo Alas (World of Wings) is an award-winning documentary that highlights talent and dreams, not disability. Musicians, singers, dancers and painters, all of them important artists with different disabilities, express and communicate their perspective of the world in a show that blends music, dancing and painting. The movie presents a show which features folk music, rock and tango, along with León Gieco's greatest hits. Signmark (13.50 minutes) Signmark was born deaf. Nevertheless, he pursued his childhood dream and became the first deaf person in the world to sign a record deal with a major recording company. Signmark can feel hip-hop music’s clear-cut beat in his body and through that adapts to the rhythm as he performs his lyrics with Sign Language. Music is Signmark’s channel of delivering the message of equality and empowerment to promote equal human rights – his way in New York – with the full support of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland. Young Voices (LCD) (20 minutes) The four short videos: Listening (Liberia), Respect (Sudan), Steps (India) and Together (Kenya) present the rallying cries of young people with disabilities. Young people from 19 countries in Africa, Asia and the Americas, together form Young Voices, Leonard Cheshire Disability’s global project that campaigns for full and equal human rights for all persons with disabilities.

Analysis of the Coverage of Paratriathlon and Paratriathletes in Canadian Newspapers
sports Article Analysis of the Coverage of Paratriathlon and Paratriathletes in Canadian Newspapers Gregor Wolbring * ID and Brian Martin Department of Community Health Sciences, Cumming School of Medicine, University of Calgary, 3330 Hospital Drive NW, Calgary, AB T2N 4N1, Canada; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-403-210-7083 Received: 22 July 2018; Accepted: 21 August 2018; Published: 29 August 2018 Abstract: From recreational to elite levels, sport has many benefits for disabled people. At the same time, it is acknowledged that there is a trickle-down problem from para-elite sport to sport participation of disabled people, in general. Newspapers are one form of media that sets agendas and influences public opinion. Many studies have highlighted problematic aspects of parasport and para-athlete coverage in newspapers. Paratriathlon was one of two new events added to the Paralympics in Rio 2016, which increased its visibility in the public domain. We investigated the coverage of paratriathlon and paratriathletes in 300 Canadian newspapers using the ProQuest database Canadian Newsstream as a source, and utilizing a descriptive quantitative and a qualitative thematic content analysis. The main themes evident in the reporting on paratriathlon and paratriathletes, in the three hundred Canadian newspapers we covered, were the supercrip imagery of the para-athlete, personal stories mostly linked to the supercrip imagery, and the theme of able-bodied athletes in juxtaposition to the para-athletes. Using the lens of the four legacy goals of the International Paralympic Committee, we conclude that our findings are detrimental to the fulfillment of the four legacy goals.
