The seventh annual My World Conference – inspiring CBE students to make a difference For Immediate Release Media Availability and Photo Op Feb. 24, 2015 CALGARY — Over 1,200 middle and junior high school student leaders and their Media Relations teachers will be inspired to action at the seventh annual My World Conference. This unique opportunity will allow students from over 45 CBE schools to learn from local, 403-819-2317 national and international organizers and activists. Students will be engaged and inspired to “think globally” and develop their sense of community by getting [email protected] involved in projects with a wide range of impact; from their own school or region all the way up to the larger global community. Special keynote speakers at this year’s event include Jessi Cruickshank and Robb Nash. Jessi became a household name as the face of MTV Canada and host of the MTV’s international smash hit The Hills After Show. Jessi captivates audiences every time she speaks about her volunteer and philanthropic work with Free the Children’s Me to We Campaign. She has also used her fame to document child labour, hunger and poverty issues. Following a life-threatening accident as a teenager, Robb Nash, lead singer and voice of the Robb Nash Project, experienced anger, self-doubt and depression. After working through these issues and recovering from significant physical injuries, the highly acclaimed musician found his passion: connecting to young people with rock music and meaningful lyrics. The Robb Nash Project engages young people through the power of music and words, encouraging them to make positive life choices and lead lives of significance and purpose. We also welcome inspirational presentations from other guest speakers, Jason Goodstriker, Connie Jakabs, ‘Alienation’, Pam Rocker, Tenille, Mackenzie Murphy, Kerry Girling and Prusik Youth Services. Students will be available for interviews, along with teachers and organizers over the lunch hour. Date: Thursday, Feb. 26, 2015 Time: Interview opportunities from 11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. Place: Calgary Genesis Centre - #10, 7555 Falconridge Blvd. NE Note: Principals have a responsibility to limit media coverage only to students approved for interviews. Reporters attending an event are requested to receive permission from a CBE contact before interviewing or photographing students. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter, and for joining us in celebrating public education. 2 | 2 .

1 Canadian Broadcast Standards Council National
CANADIAN BROADCAST STANDARDS COUNCIL NATIONAL SPECIALTY SERVICES PANEL MTV Canada re an episode of MTV Live (“Self Love”) (CBSC Decision 06/07-0763) Decided May 1, 2007 R. Cohen (Chair), R. Deverell (ad hoc), M. Harris, M. Hogarth, P. O’Neill, H. Pawley, M. Ziniak (ad hoc) THE FACTS MTV Live is a youth-oriented magazine/talk program broadcast on MTV Canada. The episode in question aired from 7:30-8:30 am on February 27, 2007. It appeared to be a rerun of a previously aired episode because the hosts referred to “tonight”. The episode was hosted by Daryn Jones, Jessi Cruickshank and Diane Salema. The theme of the episode was “self love”, i.e. masturbation. The episode did not contain any viewer advisories. It was rated PG. During the program, a box was present in the lower right-hand corner of the screen that showed the comments of viewers who were participating in the live online chat session. The majority of the comments referred to the topic of day, masturbation. Also, at some points during the program, facts and information about masturbation and related topics appeared in words in a crawl at the bottom of the screen. Diane introduced the topic of the day at the beginning of the program in the following terms (a more complete transcript of the relevant portions of the program can be found in Appendix A): Um yeah, today’s topic on the show is about masturbation. Yeah, so let’s get in to chat and talk about this, ’cause this is gonna be a good one.
