Working behind the scenes more often than not, some 200 volunteers are key contributors to the Foundation’s mission. Whether serving on the Board of Directors or its committees, or volunteering to support the Foundation’s staff during events and day-to-day activities, every one of our volunteers makes the Foundation shine, from their exceptional commitment and skills, their willingness to lend a sympathetic ear, to their passion for the cause and their compassion for others. Their work goes hand in hand with that of the Montreal Heart Institute staff who give selflessly when supporting their foundation. Every volunteer helps save lives in his or her own way. While volunteers are the heartbeat of the Foundation, its raison d’être is without a doubt the sharing of wealth. Despite the economic downturn affecting society as a whole, we have witnessed remarkable generosity on the part of our partners and donors. Find out more about some of the extraordinary individuals who give of themselves and share their wealth as you read their stories throughout the Annual Report. To all our volunteers, partners and donors, we say “Thank you!” for your selflessness and generosity. We hope you enjoy the report. Louis A Tanguay Danielle Pagé Chair of the Board Executive Director ANNUAL REPORT 2008-2009 5 A MESSAGE FROM THE INSTITUTE THE MONTREAL HEART INSTITUTE: AN EXCEPTIONAL ENVIRONMENT SUPPORTED BY THE QUEBEC COMMUNITY The MHI’s national and international reputation for excellence in prevention, care, research, innovation, teaching and evaluation is built on the support of an amazing team of skilled and devoted individuals who work in wide-ranging disciplines. Furthermore, the MHI Foundation’s unfailing support has played a key role in the Institute’s development. The Heart Beat for the Future capital campaign surpassed its ambitious objectives, proof of the overwhelming support and faith of the Quebec community in the MHI’s visionary goals. Its success is also the result of the commitment, determination, generosity and wise management of the community’s business leaders. The Foundation’s major contribution, combined with the loyalty of donors and volunteers, truly fosters the innovative progress that enables the MHI to lead the fight against heart disease. We offer our heartfelt thanks and appreciation to the Foundation Board of Directors, staff members and volunteers for their essential work, without which the MHI would be unable to pursue its mission of excellence and maintain its top ranking among the world’s best cardiology centres.

From the groundbreaking ceremony in the fall of 2007 to the inauguration in the spring of 2009, the Centre was long awaited. Mr. Saucier and Ms. Beaulieu’s gift was part of a $6.6 million contribution from the MHI Foundation, which, combined with the world reputation of its researchers, helped leverage over $80 million in funding to build and operate the Centre, including $22 million each from Génome Québec and the Government of Canada’s Centres of Excellence for Commercialization and Research.

Observations are organized into seven chapters. The first looks at the kinship ties of Canadian Francophones, including common ancestral origins, settlement of the Francophone regions, and existence of two particularly large French Canadian families, one in Acadia and one in Quebec. The second chapter outlines patterns of mobility in migration, tourism, and educational exchange. Chapter three looks at the circulation of information within and among Francophone communities through the mass media, both print and telecommunications. The status of cultural exchange (literary, musical, and theatrical) is considered next.

Department of History The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date: August 31, 2000. ii -ABSTRACT The history of taverns in eighteenth-century Louisbourg, on Ile Royale (Cape Breton), provides an insight into the culture of the working people of this seaport. The thesis reveals how the cabarets and auberges developed, independently of the government authorities' wishes. Although regarded as a menace to good order and the work ethic, these drinking places were reluctantly tolerated. Taverns provided a unique public and secular meeting place for fishermen, soldiers and workers.

  • No Quiet Revolution: Studies in the Sonic History of Montréal, 1965
    No Quiet Revolution: Studies in the Sonic History of Montréal, 1965-1975 By S. D. Jowett A thesis submitted to the Department of History in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada September 2014 © S. D. Jowett, 2014 No Quiet Revolution: Studies in the Sonic History of Montréal 1965-1975 Abstract: Listening for sound and noise in Montréal during the late 1960s and early 1970s, this dissertation adds a sonic perspective to historical understanding of the later years of Québec’s “Quiet Revolution.” Guided by aurality rather than visuality, and arguing implicitly for the inclusion of sound in historical methodology, this project puts noise and silence – both literal and figurative – at the centre of the question: What does it mean to call the great transformation of Québec from 1965 to 1975 a “Quiet Revolution”? Exploring the auditory atmosphere of what was a cacophonous and dissonant decade, this thesis analyses Montréal’s urban soundscape, music, language, and acts of silencing. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, the work is informed by theories culled from existing works on sense history, sound studies, and Québec and Canadian historiography. Via the practice of “agile listening,” the dissertation seeks to re-create a sense of Montréal’s sonic environment between 1965 and 1975. ii Acknowledgements Someone once told me that writing a PhD dissertation is a lot like running a marathon: it is a long, plodding, tiring and painful exercise. Sometimes the route is not very well marked, and there is no crowd on the sidelines to cheer on the athletes.

Gouin and P. Tancred and CANADIAN BROADCAST STANDARDS COUNCIL ONTARIO REGIONAL COUNCIL CILQ-FM re the Howard Stern Show (CBSC Decision 97/98-0015+) Decided October 18, 1997 A. MacKay (Chair), R. Stanbury (Vice-Chair), R. Cohen (ad hoc), P. Fockler, M. Hogarth and M. Ziniak THE FACTS The Howard Stern Show is produced at WXRK-FM in New York City each non-holiday weekday morning. (It has originated there since September 1985 and in its morning time slot since February 1986.) It begins at approximately 6:00 a.m. and, in principle, finishes at 10:00 a.m., although the ending time of the show is not fixed; in the time period dealt with in this decision, the show generally ran 60-90 minutes beyond the 10:00 a.m. projected ending. On Tuesday, September 2, 1997, the show was syndicated in Canada for the first time. Two Canadian stations, CHOM-FM in Montreal and CILQ-FM in Toronto, began to broadcast the show on that date. During the course of that initial episode, the host made many comments about which listeners to the stations immediately objected. The initial complaints received by the CBSC were followed by complaints signed by over 1,000 individuals to date in relation to - 1 - the episode of September 2 and other specific dates in the first two weeks, as well as the Howard Stern Show generally for the period.
