ABPBC 2009 [BC Books Catalogue]_ABPBC [BC Books] catalogue 19/10/09 10:12 AM Page 1 INTRODUCTION Welcome to the 2009/10 BC Books for BC Schools catalogue The Association of Book Publishers of BC (ABPBC) is happy to be able to provide the province’s teacher- librari ans with the latest BC Books for BC Schools catalogue. We know you look forward to receiving it every year because we hear from many of you. We also know that publishers and authors are pleased that this resource tool allows us to tell you about the many BC published books that have a place in the school library. As many of you know, the ABPBC works with a team of teacher-librarians who select the titles for this catalogue based on their suitability for school use and the quality of the work. They also annotate the titles providing additional information such as curriculum match, grade level and comments and cautions to help you find the right titles for your school. The ABPBC would like to thank all those teacher-librarians who worked with us this summer. For those of you who are new to BC Books for BC Schools the catalogue is organized first by appropriate level: Elementary (K-7), Secondary (8-12) and Cross-Grades for those books that are appropriate at both levels. Entries are organized alphabetically by title within each section. Subject areas follow the BC Ministry of Education’s cur riculum; we also highlight specific courses where it is felt that information should be included. The catalogue is available on our website: www.books.bc.ca where the Resource for Teacher-Librarians link will take you to the right place. We also provide publishers’ websites with each annotation for more information on the title. Please note that the ABPBC cannot fill orders. You will notice that this year the catalogue has a new look. For both our BC Books for BC Schools and our Canadian Aboriginal Books for Schools we decided to do a little cross-promotion by highlighting the work of contemporary Canadian artists. This year’s cover features the work of Kristi Malakoff. The piece is entitled Tar get II (detail) (2009, crepe paper party streamers, 48.0" x 48.0" x 6.0", collection of the artist). For more infor mation on the artist, see the box below. This catalogue would not be possible without the project assistance of The Canada Council for the Arts and the Government of Canada through the Book Publishing Industry Development Program (BPIDP) of Canadian Heritage. The ABPBC also receives essential operating funding from the Arts & Culture Division of the BC Min istry of Tourism, Sport and the Arts. Lastly, please let us know what you like about our catalogue and how we might improve it. We are open to all suggestions. We also need to demonstrate the importance of this catalogue to our funders. Let them know through us, how you use it. Please send comments to the ABPBC at [email protected]. Yours truly, Margaret Reynolds Executive Director, Kristi Malakoff Association of Book Publishers of BC Kristi Malakoff is a 2005 BFA graduate of the Emily Carr Institute in October 2009 Vancouver where she was the recipient of many awards, among them the Alvin Balkind Memorial Scholarship, the Helen Pitt Award and the Governor General’s silver medal for the top graduating student of 2005.

  • On Don Cherry's Citizenship in the Six String Nation
    Why I’m revoking Don Cherry’s citizenship in the Six String Nation. The Six String Nation project was conceived in the divisive atmosphere of the lead up to the 1995 Quebec Referendum on sovereignty. Referenda are necessarily divisive. They take complex problems and cast them as simple choices, usually just between Yes or No. The media took its cues accordingly and the whole debate was framed as blue vs. red, Quebec vs. Ottawa, French vs. English. Even the responses of the rest of Canadians whom the referendum made mere bystanders could only be funnelled into the polarities of “Don’t Go” and “Good Riddance”. But how was that referendum supposed to account for the voices of indigenous people in Quebec, or francophones outside of Quebec or any of the thousands of other perspectives there are on what it is to be Canadian? Well, of course it wasn’t meant to. So the Six String Nation project was meant to invite those conversations by putting diverse histories and perspectives from different communities and cultures and characters into one object - a guitar - the very essence of which is to create harmony out of internal tensions. It would exist not only as an object that illustrated that complex truth but also as a living instrument through which those who played it and those who heard it could articulate those perspectives in their own way in their own place and time. Given my experience shepherding the project around the country and beyond, I can say that it has succeeded in doing just that in however small a way.

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.

  • Media Information Updated June 1St, 2009
    Media Information Updated June 1st, 2009 Six String Nation is the spirit of a country embodied in a single guitar. Canada. Its diversity of geographies, histories, mythologies, languages, literature, art, food, sport and industry all find a place in the body of the Six String Nation guitar, in the music coaxed from its strings by those who play it and in the imagination of all who encounter it. The guitar is made from 63 items of real Canadian history and heritage in wood, bone, metal and stone representing different cultures, communities and characters from every province and territory of the country. A handful of additional pieces adorn the guitar strap and the interior of the case. Each piece tells a specific story. Eleven years after its conception, the guitar made its official debut on Canada Day, July 1, 2006, on Parliament Hill in Ottawa in the hands of Stephen Fearing, Joel Fafard, Colin Linden, Tom Wilson, Mighty Popo, La Volée d’Castors, Michel Pagliaro, Jean-François Breau, Kyle Riabko, Aselin Debison and Stars. Since then, it has traveled more than 200,000km across Canada, been played by hundreds of different musicians and been held by thousands of Canadians – pros, amateurs and posers alike – at festivals, concerts, schools and community events. In February 2008, at a press conference to launch the 39th Festival du Voyageur in Winnipeg-St.Boniface, MB, the Six String Nation guitar was officially given the nickname suggested by contest entrant Lt. Col. Susan Beharriell of the Canadian Armed Forces: Voyageur. The ongoing mission of Voyageur and the Six String Nation project is to encourage Canadians to tell the story of Canada from a multitude of perspectives, to know and embrace our diversity as a kind of commonality and to celebrate the power of music – a language that Canada speaks better than just about anyone in the world.
