  • Writing Here1
    WRITING HERE1 W.H. NEW n 2003, for the BC Federation of Writers, Susan Musgrave assembled a collection of new fiction and poetry from some fifty-two IBC writers, called The FED Anthology.2 Included in this anthology is a story by Carol Matthews called “Living in ascii,” which begins with a woman recording her husband’s annoyance at whatever he sees as stupidity (noisy traffic and inaccurate grammar, for instance, and the loss of his own words when his computer apparently swallows them). This woman then tells of going to a party, of the shifting (and sometimes divisive) relationships among all the women who were attending, and of the subjects they discussed. These included a rape trial, national survival, men, cliffs, courage, cormorant nests, and endangered species. After reflecting on the etymology of the word “egg” (and its connection with the word “edge”), she then declares her impatience with schisms and losses, and her wish to recover something whole. The story closes this way: “If I were to tell the true story, I would write it not in words but in symbols, [like an] ... ascii printout. It would be very short and very true. It would go like this: moon, woman, woman; man, bird, sun; heart, heart, heart, heart, heart; rock, scissors, paper. The title would be egg. That would be the whole story.”3 This egg is the prologue to my comments here. So is the list of disparate nouns – or only seemingly disparate, in that (by collecting them as she does) the narrator connects them into story.

Founded as the Canadian Reading Camp Association in 1899 by a former Presbyterian minister named Alfred Fitzpatrick, the history of Frontier College runs straight through the heart of Canada’s early 20th-century social gospel movement, which perhaps explains its lack of appeal to scholars of both labour and literary history.1 Recently, 1.

My grandfather was called Solomon so my name is the diminutive of his. My people are from the Fish Clan of the northern Ojibway, the Anishinabeg, we call ourselves. We made our home in the territories along the Winnipeg River, where the river opens wide before crossing into Manitoba after it leaves Lake of the Woods and the rugged spine of northern Ontario. They say that our cheekbones are cut from those granite ridges that rise above our homeland. They say that the deep brown of our eyes seeped out of the fecund earth that surrounds the lakes and marshes. The Old Ones say that our long straight hair comes from the waving grasses that thatch the edges of bays.

  • Indian Horse, Based on Richard Wagamese's Award
    INDIAN HORSE, BASED ON RICHARD WAGAMESE’S AWARD-WINNING NOVEL, TO OPEN IN THEATRES ACROSS CANADA ON APRIL 13th. From Director Stephen Campanelli and Executive Producer Clint Eastwood, theatrical release follows an award-winning festival run. Toronto – November 21, 2017 – Elevation Pictures, today announced that INDIAN HORSE, based on the award-winning novel by Richard Wagamese and directed by Stephen Campanelli, will open in theatres across Canada on April 13, 2018. After a world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, INDIAN HORSE debuted at festivals across Canada, where it received standing ovations and garnered multiple audience awards including: • Vancouver International Film Festival – Super Channel People’s Choice Award • Calgary International Film Festival – Audience Favourite, Narrative Feature • Edmonton International Film Festival – Audience Award for Best Dramatic Feature • Cinéfest Sudbury – Runner up, Audience Choice Award – Best Feature Film “We have been overwhelmed by the audience's powerful reaction to the film at festivals to date. We are deeply humbled and honoured and know that Richard Wagamese would have been so proud,” commented producers Christine Haebler, Trish Dolman and Paula Devonshire. Recounting the story of Saul Indian Horse and his remarkable journey from a northern Ojibway child torn from his family and placed in one of Canada’s notorious Catholic residential schools, to a man who ultimately finds his place in the world, Richard Wagamese’s best-selling novel rose to critical acclaim when first published in 2012. Douglas & McIntyre will release a special movie tie-in edition of INDIAN HORSE to coincide with the release of the film; the book will be available in stores across Canada in April, 2018.

Hogan, 2016 Approved: _________________________________ Rev. Dr. Robert Fennell Approved: _________________________________ Dr. Russell Perkin Approved: _________________________________ Rev. Dr. Hallett Llewellyn Date: ___________________________ The United Church of Canada in Canadian Literature Elizabeth A. Hogan Thesis Abstract This thesis traces the relationship of The United Church of Canada to the development of Canadian national identity in the years prior to Church Union, and in the first forty years of the denomination's history, with particular attention to the literary witness to this relationship manifest in a number of key works of Canadian literature. Major historical events and trends are surveyed in the history of the country and denomination in each of three historical periods -- from Confederation to Church Union, the Depression and Second World War, and 1945-1965 -- followed by an analysis of the way in which references to the United Church in various novels of each period reveal and reflect the denomination's changing influence on and relationship to Canadian identity. March 1, 2016 i Submitted with Thanks to Rev. Dr. Rob Fennell, Supervisor, for his manifestations of diligence (in reading, commenting, and correcting footnotes), temperance (and unshakeable calm), trust (that this would happen), usefulness (in offering excellent advice); and for his commitment to education and service (to which the existence of this thesis bears witness).

Canada Fulbright Visiting Chair in Arctic Studies MGH 278 This course will address the range of Arctic insecurities from the Cold War security paradigm to environmental and human security (Arctic Council's Search and Rescue Agreement); Aboriginal land claims (Alaska, Canada, Greenland) to Indigenous Internationalism (Inuit Circumpolar Council, the Saami Convention); the Finnish Initiative to the Arctic Council, Permanent Participants and Observers (China, India, etc); seabed resources, the Arctic Five (UN Convention of the Law of the Sea) and the Circumpolar Inuit Declaration on Sovereignty in the Arctic; national and regional resource mega-projects, devolution and local development; the Arctic Treaty idea (EU) versus the reality of an evolving network of interlocking relationships (Arctic Governance Project); and, American and Canadian management of these Arctic issues. This graduate seminar will also examine a series of Arctic policy questions with the ultimate aim of assembling a set of papers into a collection for publication.
