Getyourbuttseen Runway Gala
THE COLORECTAL CANCER ASSOCIATION OF CANADA ANNOUNCES ITS DAZZLING GETYOURBUTTSEEN RUNWAY GALA MONTREAL, November 22nd, 2010 /CNW/ - The Colorectal Cancer Association of Canada (CCAC) is delighted to announce its upcoming GetYourButtSeen Runway Gala, an edgy and provocative fundraising endeavour taking place in Montreal on December 1st, 2010 at Théâtre L’Olympia. Inspired by the worldwide success of their award winning on line campaign www.getyourbuttseen.ca the CCAC is bringing the fashion world to colorectal cancer. Fashion will take centre stage during the opening runway spectacular, produced by Hans Koechling and styled by Christina Louiso. Co-emceed by Jeanne Beker, the face of CTV’s FashionTelevision and Isabelle Hudon, President of Sun Life Financial, Quebec, the event will welcome Montreal’s chicest benefactors and generous members of the fashion industry as they come together to honour courageous colorectal cancer patients and raise funds for the organization’s awareness campaigns, education initiatives, patient support programs and advocacy efforts. "At Sun Life Financial we're proud to support innovative initiatives like the GetYourButtSeen Runway Gala that help raise community awareness through education on issues such as how a healthy lifestyle can help prevent disease," said Isabelle Hudon, president, Sun Life Financial, Quebec. “I always adore the way fashion often finds its way to the heart of an issue--in this case, bringing much needed awareness to something some people have an awkward time with--the subject of getting your butt examined!!! In a light-hearted, wonderfully human way, our fashion show aims to both entertain AND edify... And what a fabulous excuse to feast your eyes on some beautiful backsides, while raising funds and awareness for this vital cause.” Said Jeanne Beker, Host of Fashion Television CTV. -

The Azrieli Foundation’s Holocaust Survivor Memoirs Program Educators’ Catalogue 2021 Programme des mémoires de survivants de l’Holocauste de la Fondation Azrieli Catalogue des enseignants 2021 2 Le Programme des mémoires de survivants de l’Holocauste de la Fondation Azrieli En racontant leur histoire, les auteurs ont pu se libérer. Pendant de longues années, nous n’en avons pas parlé, même une fois devenus citoyens de sociétés libres. Aujourd’hui, alors qu’enfin nous écrivons sur les expériences qui furent les nôtres durant cette période sombre de l’Histoire, conscients que nos récits seront lus et qu’ils nous survivront, il nous est possible de nous sentir complètement libérés. David J. Azrieli, C.M., C.Q., M.Arch. Survivant de l’Holocauste et philanthrope Le Programme des mémoires de survivants de l’Holocauste de la Fondation Azrieli a été créé en 2005 afin de collecter, conserver et partager les mémoires et journaux in- times rédigés par des survivants de l’Holocauste qui ont immigré au Canada. Les mé- moires invitent le lecteur à engager une réflexion à la fois approfondie et éclairée sur les événements complexes de l’Holocauste et à établir des liens porteurs de sens avec les t émoins canadiens qui l’ont vécu. De récit en récit, le lecteur découvre des parcours très différents dont la diversité même permet de mieux saisir l’ampleur de cet événement historique. Ces mémoires — publiés en français et en anglais — sont distribués gratuitement aux établissements scolaires et aux bibliothèques à travers le Canada. L’équipe d’éditeurs et de chercheurs du Programme vérifie avec soin l’exactitude des faits relatés et propose aux lecteurs du matériel supplémentaire : des glossaires, des introductions rédigées par des chercheurs spécialisés, ainsi que des cartes. -

Inspired by Jewish Values and the Vision and Resilience of Our Founder, David J
Inspired by Jewish values and the vision and resilience of our founder, David J. Azrieli z”l, the Azrieli Foundation’s mission is to improve the lives of present and future generations through Education, Research, Healthcare and the Arts mainly in Canada and Israel. The foundation has eight priority funding areas with support reaching a diversity of people, places and needs. Our vision is to remember the past, heal the present and enhance the future of the Jewish people and all humanity. The publication of the Azrieli Series of Holocaust Survivor Memoirs is guid- ed by the conviction that each survivor of the Holocaust has a remarkable story to tell, and that the personal accounts of those who survived against all odds are as different as the people who wrote them. Recognizing that most survivor memoirs never find a publisher, the Azrieli Foundation established the not-for-profit Holocaust Survivor Memoirs Program to collect, archive and publish these distinctive records. All revenues to the Azrieli Foundation from the sale of the Azrieli Series of Holocaust Survivor Memoirs go toward continuing the publication and edu- cational work of the Holocaust Survivor Memoirs Program. In telling these stories, the writers have liberated themselves. For so many years we did not speak about it, even when we became free people living in a free society. Now, when at last we are writing about what happened to us in this dark period of history, knowing that our stories will be read and live on, it is possible for us to feel truly free. These unique historical documents put a face on what was lost, and allow readers to grasp the enormity of what happened to six million Jews – one story at a time. -

When She's Gone
When She’s Gone Steven Erikson © Steven Erikson 2004 The game got in our blood when the Selkirk Settlers first showed up at the forks of the Red and Assiniboine rivers. Not hard to figure out why. They were farmers one and all and given land along the rivers, each allotment the precise dimensions of a hockey rink. Come winter the whole world froze up and there was nothing to do but skate and whack at frozen rubber discs with hickory sticks. Those first leagues were vicious. There were two major ones, the Northwest League and the Hudson's Bay League. Serious rivals and it all came to a head when Louis Riel, left-wing for the Voyageurs, jumped leagues and signed with the Métis Traders right there at the corner of Portage and Main, posing with a buffalo hide signing bonus. The whole territory went up in flames–the Riel Rebellion–culminating in the slaughter of nineteen Selkirk fans. Redcoats came from the east and refereed the mob that strung Riel up and hung him until dead. The Northwest League got merged into the Hudson's Bay League shortly afterward and a troubled peace came to the land. It was the first slapshot fired in anger, but it wouldn't be the last. The game We sold our soul. No point in complaining, no point in blaming anyone else, not the Yanks, not anyone else. We've done it ourselves and if you were a Yank you'd be saying the same thing. If your country was Italy, France or Belgium, if the city you called home was in England or Scotland or Wales, you're saying the same thing I'm saying right now, at least you'd be if you were thinking about what I'm thinking about.
