The last year has afforded Her Honour and I the pleasure of participating in more than 322 events at Government House and throughout the province. As the ceremonial home of all Nova Scotians, I am delighted to note that more than 14,000 visitors came to the historic residence for tours or to attend events. In particular, I was honored to host a number of events that commemorated milestone anniversaries. In June 2019 we marked the 75th Anniversary of the D-Day Landings during the Second World War. I was also happy to host a ceremony with the Dutch Ambassador to Canada and students from Armbrae Academy in which we planted tulip bulbs marking the 75th Anniversary of the start of the military campaign to liberate the Netherlands. As in previous years, we held flag raising ceremonies and receptions to mark National Acadian Day, Treaty Day and the International Francophonie Day. At Government House, we held 143 events, including diplomatic courtesy calls with Commonwealth and foreign representatives, investitures, awards ceremonies, volunteer recognition receptions, and a dinner to honour the 2019 Order of Nova Scotia appointees. I was also pleased to swear in the new Chief Justice of Nova Scotia Michael J. Wood. At the Annual Garden Party in June 2019, we marked the 50th anniversary of Official Bilingualism in Canada. We were also delighted to host a Pink Tea to celebrate the “Famous Five” and the 90th anniversary of the “Persons Case”. Her Honour and I were pleased to attend many events and ceremonies around Nova Scotia. These included several events for African Heritage Month including the launch and the unveiling of a postage stamp. We were also impressed by what we saw when we visited the Maritime Brain Tissue Bank and the homeless shelters Metro Turning Point and Frank MacKay House. Our interaction with the Canadian Armed Forces and the various protective services in Nova Scotia continues to be one of my priorities. Her Honour and I attended the departure on deployment and arrival from deployment ceremonies for several of Her Majesty’s Canadian Ships. Additionally, I have been honored to invest members of the protective services with various Exemplary Service Medals and attend the annual Nova Scotia Fallen Police Officers’ Memorial Service in October 2019. The end of the fiscal year was marked by the COVID-19 pandemic and this resulted in the cancellation of all public activities in the interest of public safety. I have been very impressed with the people in the public and private sectors who were compelled to continue working to ensure that all Nova Scotians were safe, healthy and had access to the basic necessities. We greatly appreciate their dedication and commitment. Arthur J.

    Queer(Y)Ing Quaintness: Destabilizing Atlantic Canadian Identity Through Its Theatre

    QUEER(Y)ING QUAINTNESS: DESTABILIZING ATLANTIC CANADIAN IDENTITY THROUGH ITS THEATRE LUKE BROWN Thesis submitted to the University of Ottawa in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Arts degree in Theatre Theory & Dramaturgy Department of Theatre Faculty of Graduate Studies University of Ottawa © Luke Brown, Ottawa, Canada, 2019 Brown ii Abstract The Atlantic Canadian provinces (Newfoundland, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Nova Scotia) have long been associated with agricultural romanticism. Economically and culturally entrenched in a stereotype of quaintness (Anne of Green Gables is just one of many examples), the region continuously falls into a cycle of inferiority. In this thesis, I argue that queer theory can be infused into performance analysis to better situate local theatre practice as a site of mobilization. Using terms and concepts from queer geographers and other scholars, particularly those who address capitalism (Gibson-Graham, Massey), this research outlines a methodology of performance analysis that looks through a queer lens in order to destabilize normative assumptions about Atlantic Canada. Three contemporary performances are studied in detail: Christian Barry, Ben Caplan, and Hannah Moscovitch's Old Stock: A Refugee Love Story, Ryan Griffith's The Boat, and Xavier Gould‘s digital personality ―Jass-Sainte Bourque‖. Combining Ric Knowles' "dramaturgy of the perverse" (The Theatre of Form 1999) with Sara Ahmed's "queer phenomenology" (Queer Phenomenology 2006) allows for a thorough queer analysis of these three performances. I argue that such an approach positions new Atlantic Canadian performances and dramaturgies as sites of aesthetic and semantic disorientation. Building on Jill Dolan's "utopian performatives" (Utopia in Performance 2005), wherein the audiences experience a collective "lifting above" of normative dramaturgical structures, my use of "queer phenomenology" fosters a plurality of unique perspectives.

    Canadian eview V olume 42, No. 4 Right to BaRe Arms Dress Guidelines in British Columbia’s Legislative Assembly p. 6 2 CANADIAN PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW/SUMMER 2019 There are many examples of family members sitting in parliaments at the same time. However, the first father-daughter team to sit together in a legislative assembly did not happen in Canada until 1996. That is when Sue Edelman was elected to the 29th Yukon Legislative Assembly, joining her re-elected father, Ivan John “Jack” Cable. Mr. Cable moved to the North in 1970 after obtaining degrees in Chemical Engineering, a Master’s in Business Administration and a Bachelor of Laws in Ontario. He practiced law in Whitehorse for 21 years, and went on to serve as President of the Yukon Chamber of Commerce, President of the Yukon Energy Corporation and Director of the Northern Canada Power Commission. He is also a founding member of the Recycle Organics Together Society and the Boreal Alternate Energy Centre. Mr. Cable’s entry into electoral politics came in 1992, when he successfully won the riding of Riverdale in East Whitehorse to take his seat in the Yukon Legislative Assembly. Ms. Edelman’s political presence had already been established by the time her father began his term as an MLA. In 1988, she became a Whitehorse city councillor, a position she held until 1994. In her 1991 reelection, she received more votes for her council seat than mayor Bill Weigand received. Following her time on city council, she was elected to the Selkirk Elementary School council. In the 1996 territorial election, she ran and won in the Riverdale South riding.

    Island-Wide Celebrations for National Acadian Day 2016 to Take Place August 12Th-15Th Weekend; Souris to Host

    Press Release For Immediate Publication Island-wide Celebrations for National Acadian Day 2016 to take Place August 12th-15th Weekend; Souris to Host SUMMERSIDE (P.E.I.) – Friday, August 8th, 2016 – The president of la Société Saint-Thomas-d’Aquin (SSTA), Guy Labonté, invites one and all to join the Acadian and francophone community of P.E.I. in celebrating National Acadian Day activities which will take place all across the Island on the weekend of August 12th-15th. The SSTA wishes a wonderful National Acadian Day to all! In 1881, at the first Convention of the Acadians, it was decided that August 15th would thereafter be observed as National Acadian Day. This day was chosen for many reasons, namely because as a distinct people, Acadians deserve to have a day of recognition; the later summer date does not conflict with seed-sowing commitments; and it coincides with the Assumption of Mary, patron saint of Acadians. Souris, this year’s host Region – provincial celebrations – Saturday, August 13th to Sunday, August 14th : La Société Saint-Thomas-d’Aquin, in collaboration with le Comité Acadien et Francophone de l'Est, invites the public to a number of free activities in the name of National Acadian Day and le Festival Acadien from August 13th to 14th. Saturday, August 13th, there will be a traditional Kitchen Party from 6 to 9 p.m. Cover is $5 per person and includes access to concerts featuring Island musicians Anastasia DesRoches, Mylène Ouellette, JJ Chaisson & Les étoiles de l'Est. There will also be traditional Acadian dishes such as fricot (Acadian chicken soup) and an Acadian roll.
