The film – which tells the story of a teenage hockey phenom who goes from obscurity to overnight fame – also stars a slew of Canadian talent. Among those are singer/songwriter Marc Jordan (whose composing credits include Rod Stewart’s “Rhythm of My Heart” and Cher’s “Taxi Taxi”), newcomers Noah Reid and Allie MacDonald, along with cameos by music artists Nelly Furtado, Dave Bidini, Hawksley Workman and John McDermott, journalists George Stroumboulopoulos and Evan Solomon, sports anchor Steve Kouleas, hockey dad Walter Gretzky and hockey star Theo Fleury. Unlike other musicals, the story doesn’t stop just for the sake of a song. Instead, the lyrics (written by McGowan) drive the plot. There are 20 original songs, among them one called “Darryl vs. the Kid” by Barenaked Ladies, as well as “Hugs” by Olivia Newton-John, Amy Sky and Marc Jordan, and five songs on which Hawksley Workman contributed.

  • Nurturing Media Vitality in Quebec's English-Speaking Minority
    Brief to the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage Nurturing Media Vitality in Quebec’s English-speaking Minority Communities Presented by the Quebec Community Groups Network April 12, 2016 Introduction The Quebec Community Groups Network, or QCGN, is a not-for-profit representative organization. We serve as a centre of evidence-based expertise and collective action. QCGN is focused on strategic issues affecting the development and vitality of Canada’s English linguistic minority communities, to which we collectively refer as the English-speaking community of Quebec. Our 48 members are also not-for-profit community groups. Most provide direct services to community members. Some work regionally, providing broad-based services. Others work across Quebec in specific sectors such as health, and arts and culture. Our members include the Quebec Community Newspaper Association (QCNA). English-speaking Quebec is Canada’s largest official language minority community. A little more than 1 million Quebecers specify English as their first official spoken language. Although 84 per cent of our community lives within the Montreal Census Metropolitan Area, more than 210,000 community members live in other Quebec regions. Media Landscape English-speaking Quebecers have consistently signalled that access to information in their own language is both a need and a priority (CHSSN-CROP survey, various years). This may seem a bit of a contradiction in a world awash in English language information through CNN, Time magazine and Hollywood movies galore. The important nuance is that English- speaking Quebecers need information in their own language about their own local and regional communities, something that is increasingly hard to access on a consistent basis in a context of the francization of daily life in Quebec and the demise of traditional community media.

    CANADIAN PRIVATE COPYING COLLECTIVE SOCIÉTÉ CANADIENNE DE PERCEPTION DE LA COPIE PRIVÉE 150 Eglinton Ave. East, Suite 403 Toronto, Ontario M4P 1E8 416 486 6832 1 800 892 7235 416 486 3064 [FAX] www.cpcc.ca CPCC CPCC C-32 Submission Background The Canadian Private Copying Collective (CPCC) is the non-profit organization responsible for collecting private copying royalties and distributing them to songwriters, performers, music publishers and record companies, as well as promoting the interests of rights holders as they pertain to private copying. For over a decade, the CPCC has represented copyright holders before the Copyright Board of Canada. The Board establishes the levies that may be collected after trial-like hearings where experts, representing music rights holders and organizations that represent consumers and businesses that sell leviable blank media, present evidence and are cross-examined. The private copying levy has been an important part of the Canadian copyright regime since 1999, when the first private copying tariff was certified by the Copyright Board, following amendments made to the Copyright Act (the “Act”) in 1997 to allow for a levy to be placed on blank audio recording media. Currently, the levy only applies to blank CDs and MiniDiscs, at a rate of 29 cents per unit, and is paid by manufacturers and importers of these blank media to the CPCC for distribution to rights holders. The private copying levy has provided an effective mechanism whereby consumers are allowed to make copies of music for their personal use without infringing copyright and, in exchange, music creators receive royalties that recognize the value of private copies of their work.

  • Rights Ownership of the Top 100 Tv Programs in Canada (English Channels) According to Ama
    Review of the Canadian Communications TELUS Communications Inc. Legislative Framework January 11, 2019 Appendix 6 RIGHTS OWNERSHIP OF THE TOP 100 TV PROGRAMS IN CANADA (ENGLISH CHANNELS) ACCORDING TO AMA By: Mario Mota, Boon Dog Professional Services Inc. For: TELUS November 2017 Review of the Canadian Communications TELUS Communications Inc. Legislative Framework January 11, 2019 Appendix 6 Rights Ownership of the Top 100 TV Programs in Canada (English Channels) According to AMA 2017-2018 Broadcast Year to Date (Aug. 28 - Nov. 19, 2017) This is an analysis of who owns the rights to the Top 100 TV programs that have aired on English- language television channels in Canada according to Average Minute Audience (AMA)1 in the 2017- 2018 broadcast year to date (between August 28, 2017 and November 19, 2017). The list of the Top 100 programs can be found in the table on the pages that follow. It should be noted that duplicate listings (airings) of the same program title (series) have been removed from the list, with the exception of news programs and sporting events. In other words, whereas the program The Big Bang Theory (as an example) would have appeared numerous times in the Top 100 list, only the episode/airing with the highest AMA is included in the list. As can be seen, Canada’s vertically integrated broadcasters combined—Bell Media (CTV, CTV Two, TSN, Space), Corus Entertainment (Global, Treehouse, W Network), and Rogers (Citytv, Sportsnet—dominate the list of Top 100 programs, with Canada’s national public broadcaster, CBC, appearing several times and one U.S.

  • Issue 15A - Christmas 2014
    Share Your Song with Cantores Celestes Issue 15a - Christmas 2014 CANTORES CELESTES CELEBRATES 25 YEARS OF MAKING MUSIC From Kelly When I started Cantores Celestes in 1989, I had no idea that 26 years later we would still be going strong and would celebrate our 25th anniversary by performing at the Lincoln Centre in New York City. We have grown from eight women to our current number of 55 and proudly continue to sing beautiful music for our loyal audiences. I am thrilled that the Trillium Brass Quintet, Ellen Meyer and fiddler John Showman (from the Foggy Hogtown Boys) will be once again joining Cantores Celestes as we present 'An Appalachian Christmas’, a bluegrass take on favourite Christmas carols. I am especially delighted to have an opportunity to perform with CBC colleague and host Tom Power. Photo by Luigi Nieto Giovanini As one of the youngest hosts of a national programme on CBC Radio, Tom Power is a rising star in broadcasting. Hailing from St. John’s, Newfoundland, he started his career programming folk music on college radio, quickly moving to work at the local private ratio station as a news reporter and reader. In 2009, at the age of 21, Tom joined CBC as host of Deep Roots and began to appear regularly as a guest-host on CBC Radio 2 Drive and CBC RADIO 2 MORNING, becoming the permanent CBC RADIO 2 MORNING host in 2011. A beloved and well known presence in the music industry across Canada, Tom sits on the board of the Newfoundland and Labrador Folk Arts Society.
