  • Gee-Gees Bring University Football to Ottawa's West
    Gee-Gees bring university football to Ottawa’s West End Ottawa, August 14, 2012 — Today, the University of Ottawa and Beckwith Township announced that university football is coming to Beckwith Park, which will serve as the Gee- Gees' home field for the 2012 football season. "The Beckwith Park field and facilities are among the best in Eastern Ontario,” said Luc Gélineau, director of Sports Services for the University. “More importantly, the community leaders’ enthusiasm for bringing the team to Beckwith has been overwhelming.” Beckwith Township’s Reeve Richard Kidd echoed the anticipation surrounding the Gee-Gees home schedule announcement. “We are very proud of the Beckwith Park facilities that we are able to provide to our residents. It is very exciting that our field of dreams will be the home of University of Ottawa football for 2012.” Football fans are invited to a Gee-Gees training camp practice on Monday August 27 at Beckwith Park. Further partnerships with the local football community will take place as the season progresses, including barbeques at the Gee-Gees games, and season ticket sales which will be partially donated back to local football programs. “We really want to use this opportunity to promote and grow football in the surrounding communities,” said Gélineau. Beckwith Park, located just west of the City of Ottawa, normally offers bleacher seating for 400 spectators. Temporary bleacher units will be brought in to provide additional general admission seats, and sideline grass seating will also be available. Free shuttle buses from the uOttawa Minto Sports Complex will be available to fans each game day.

  • Condolence Motion Final Billy Bryans.Docx
    CONDOLENCE MOTION Moved by: Councillor Pam McConnell Seconded by: Councillor Adam Vaughan The Mayor and Members of Toronto City Council are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Billy Bryans on April 23, 2012. A pioneer of cross-cultural music in Toronto, Billy Bryans was a drummer and producer best known as the co-founder of the politically inflected pop-group The Parachute Club, renowned for its anthemic 1983 hit Rise Up. Billy got his start in Montreal in the 1960s, in a Beatles influenced boy band MG and the Escorts. Billy made his musical breakthrough in Toronto in the 1970s, producing and drumming for jazz and blues bands like Horn, Downchild Blues Band, the Cameo Blues Band, and the Original Sloth Band. Billy became a fixture in Toronto's burgeoning indie music scene in the 1980s, performing at The Cameron, the Horsehoe, Grossmans, the Cabana Room, the El Mocambo, and The Bamboo Club. Billy moved seamlessly among musical genres, including punk, new wave, funk, calypso, latin, reggae, and rock, providing the backbeat for groups such as The Government, The Time Twins, and The BopCats. Performing with Mama Quilla II, he met lead singer, feminist icon, and activist Lorraine Segato. Together in the bands V, Compass, and the Parachute Club, they championed a hybrid sound that cut across gender and race, providing an expansive and enticing soundtrack for a multicultural city finding its voice. During his career, Billy collected four Junos as a performer or producer for such artists as the Afronubians, the Puente Brothers, Buffy Ste Marie, Raffi, George Fox, Alex Cuba, Punjabi by Nature, Morgan Davis, and Laura Fernandez.

The Golden Hawks will be looking to improve on their past performances in which they lost two close contests, one to the University of Manitoba Bisons and one to the University of Waterloo Warriors. In the game with the Bisons the Golden Hawks moved into a 13-0 lead on touchdowns by Bob McGregor and John Skinner. However, they lost their momentum and Manitoba rallied for a 15-13 victory. In the game with the Warriors this past Saturday the Hawks came from behind an 8-0 defecit and tied the score at the half by virtue of a touchdown by Doug Strong and single points by John Kruspe and Paul Grey. WLU had shown signs of coming on real strong. They were overpowering the Warriors in the 2nd and 3rd quarters and moved into the last period holding a 10-8 lead. However, the Hawks stopped taking the play to the Warriors and a 4th quarter touchdown by the University of Waterloo proved to be the margin of victory. - more - . 2 Head Coach Dave Knight, though perplexed over two straight losses, feels his team is maturing to a peak for the league opener.

  • Matthew Capel Thesis 18 September 2007
    'Damned If They Do And Damned If They Don't': The Inferiority Complex, Nationalism, and Maclean's Music Coverage, 1967-1995 By Gordon Matthew Donald Capel A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in History Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2007 © Gordon Matthew Donald Capel 2007 Author's Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as required by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This thesis critically analyses music coverage in Maclean’s between 1967-1995, and reveals that the magazine continually stressed Canadian music as inferior to that produced by foreign artists. Only during times of intense nationalism were Canadian musicians positively received in its pages. More generally, domestic productions were seen as deficient. The historical components of this investigation reveal an essential irony in the perception of Canadian music during the last four decades of the 20th century. Despite nationalist rhetorics and Maclean's self-appointed title of "Canada's National Newsmagazine," its critics consistently emphasised that Canadian music was of poor quality in the 1967-1995 period. iii Acknowledgements I would like to express my gratitude to all those wonderful people who helped me complete this thesis. First, I must applaud my thesis advisor P. Whitney Lackenbauer for his motivation, discerning eye, and willingness to tell me when something wasn't history. For this confused, stubborn, and excitable grad student, your support cannot be overstated.
