In the Eighties, I was honoured to be part of the broadcast crew for the Canadian...
Canada has long been described by many to be a mosaic. Our country has alluring scenic locations spread far and wide throughout our provinces and territories, and four delightful seasons that bring about new adventures for each individual. However, this “mosaic” that individuals associate with our country extends far beyond the picturesque views of our landscape. This artwork of Canada extends to its citizens, immigrants and refugees. In a population of 37.59 million individuals, varying cultures, ethnicities and racial identities comprise the...

Children who are not dressed appropriately for the winter season are often more susceptible to illness which can result in them missing school. It is our goal to ensure that no child in Ontario is...
