Terry Fox Information Booklet
Terry Fox Information Booklet TERRYFOX.ORG / 1 888 836-9786 2016 Terry Fox Info ENGLISH.indd 1 6/20/2016 11:25:44 AM Terry’s Letter: October, 1979 The night before my amputation, my former basketball coach brought me a magazine with an article on an amputee who ran in the New York Marathon. It was then I decided to meet this new challenge head on and not only overcome my disability, but conquer it in such a way that I could never look back and say it disabled me. But I soon realized that that would only be half my quest, for as I went through the 16 months of the physically and emotionally draining ordeal of chemotherapy, I was rudely awakened by the feelings that surrounded and coursed through the cancer clinic. There were faces with the brave smiles and the ones who had given up smiling. There were feelings of hopeful denial and the feelings of despair. My quest would not be a selfish one. I could not leave knowing these faces and feelings would still exist, even though I would be set free from mine. Somewhere the hurting must stop…and I was determined to take myself to the limit for this cause. From the beginning the going was extremely difficult, and I was facing chronic ailments foreign to runners with two legs in addition to the common physical strains felt by all dedicated athletes. But these problems are now behind me, as I have either out- persisted or learned to deal with them. I feel strong not only physically, but more important, emotionally. -

Harris Disorder’ and How Women Tried to Cure It
Advocating for Advocacy: The ‘Harris Disorder’ and how women tried to cure it The following article was originally commissioned by Action Ontarienne contre la violence faite aux femmes as a context piece in training material for transitional support workers. While it outlines the roots of the provincial transitional housing and support program for women who experience violence, the context largely details the struggle to sustain women’s anti-violence advocacy in Ontario under the Harris regime and the impacts of that government’s policy on advocacy work to end violence against women. By Eileen Morrow Political and Economic Context The roots of the Transitional Housing and Support Program began over 15 years ago. At that time, political and economic shifts played an important role in determining how governments approached social programs, including supports for women experiencing violence. Shifts at both the federal and provincial levels affected women’s services and women’s lives. In 1994, the federal government began to consider social policy shifts reflecting neoliberal economic thinking that had been embraced by capitalist powers around the world. Neoliberal economic theory supports smaller government (including cuts to public services), balanced budgets and government debt reduction, tax cuts, less government regulation, privatization of public services, individual responsibility and unfettered business markets. Forces created by neoliberal economics—including the current worldwide economic crisis—still determine how government operates in Canada. A world economic shift may not at first seem connected to a small program for women in Ontario, but it affected the way the Transitional Housing and Support Program began. Federal government shifts By 1995, the Liberal government in Ottawa was ready to act on the neoliberal shift with policy decisions. -

Preview for BMW IBSF World Cup La Plagne (FRA) 8 Jan
PRESS RELEASE – Preview for BMW IBSF World Cup La Plagne (FRA) 8 Jan. 2020 La Plagne stages mini comeback as host of the BMW IBSF World Cup French track to welcome old faces as favourites La Plagne (RWH): La Plagne will be staging a mini World Cup comeback in January 2020. The last time athletes from the International Bobsleigh & Skeleton Federation (IBSF) competed on the track in the French Alps was 2015. Some old favourites set to return Some of the favourites for the 2019/2020 BMW IBSF World Cup enjoyed the same status back then. Any examples? At the 2015 race in La Plagne, the current leader of the World Cup, Francesco Friedrich (GER), celebrated the third of his now 23 World Cup victories in the 2- man bobsleigh and also finished third in the 4-man bobsleigh. World Champion Martins Dukurs (LAT) has not been beaten in La Plagne for almost 10 whole years: He won the last World Cup races there in 2011, 2012 and 2015. And the current leader in the 2-woman bobsleigh World Cup, Kaillie Humphries (USA), won two out of the last three World Cup races in La Plagne and finished third in 2015. This winter could also see the 2010 and 2014 Olympic Champion hit a new milestone in France: if Kaillie Humphries wins in La Plagne, it would be her 25th World Cup victory. Return of the 2-man bobsleigh and second half of the 4-man World Cup The race in the La Plagne sees the return of the 2-man bobsleigh teams to the BMW IBSF World Cup. -

It sounds cliche and all that, and just talking isn’t going to immediately fix your problems, but that’s where it starts,” Andrew Jensen said to the group gathered at Juno Tower for the base event marking Bell Let’s Talk Day. The telecom’s annual social media campaign is aimed at opening discussions and ending stig- mas around these issues, and comes with a hefty donation to mental health initiatives across Canada. -
