  • Principals Involved in Lucid Plan Aren?T Done with Aurora
    This page was exported from - The Auroran Export date: Thu Sep 30 6:36:34 2021 / +0000 GMT Principals involved in Lucid plan aren?t done with Aurora By Brock Weir With Aurora Live! dead in the water, enough time has passed for heads to cool and assess the situation. But George Roche, founder of Lucid Productions, the group that brought forward the Aurora Live! festival isn't completely done with Aurora. 2014, he said, is definitely a possibility. ?I would love to [bid on a festival] if we can get the ?Wild, Wild West' politics and the cynicism projected by [Councillor Chris Ballard] which I believe rises out of the treatment unto the Aurora Jazz Fest organizers,? said Mr. Roche, referring to the war of words between himself and the Councillor while the festival was still on the table. ?We always had a great feeling of working with Aurora and nothing has changed. When things go a little bit sideways obviously politicians start to protect themselves and their own credibility within the Town, but in this case the credibility wasn't protected.? Credibility also took a hit, he claims when Councillor Abel began to get ?demanding? on which bands should take to the stage and how much they should be paid, as well as what he describes as a ?spectacle? being made out of their references. ?2013 is out of the question [for a festival],? he said. ?We're very sorry it didn't go the way we had proposed. It wasn't anything to do with our actions, certainly being the lead writer and the pitchmen for the plan, I certainly wouldn't have done anything to hijack my own proposal.

VALUES ○ We communicate consistently and honestly. ○ We strive to do things right and on time. ○ Commitment and preparation are essential to our success. ○ We measure everything to drive success. ○ Thought leadership and program evolution are continuous. 2 Your Support Makes a Difference Message from the Chairman & Co-Founder Dear Supporters and Stakeholders, We move into the third decade of Merry Go Round Children Foundation’s operations (since inception in 1998), with continued expansion in Toronto and across Canada. To date, over 6,000 students have received the benefits of the program to support their long-term success. After seeing the great work that was accomplished as Kids, Cops & Computers for the first 20 years, our Board embarked upon a branding exercise that led to a new name: ComKids (embodying community, communication, computers, connection, etc) 786 students enrolled in the Program in the 2018/19 school year; with 630 in Toronto and 116 across Canada in partnership with the RCMP Foundation.
