John P.L. Roberts, the CBC/Radio Canada, and Art Music
Author: Friedemann SallisPublisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1527561003
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 405
Book Description
This book examines the impact of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation/Société Radio Canada (CBC/SRC) on the development of art music in Canada during the broadcaster’s first fifty years (1936-1986). In so doing, it investigates the achievement of one man: John Peter Lee Roberts. Born in Australia, he arrived in Canada in 1955, and, over the next thirty years, he worked tirelessly as a producer, administrator and adviser at the state broadcaster to bring the music of Canada to the world and the world of music to Canadians. Roberts also played a crucially important role in commissioning, disseminating and promoting new music by Canadian composers.

Book Description
The Honourable Landon Pearson's domestic and global advocacy efforts with, for, and on behalf of children and young people have unfolded over a period of sixty years including thirty years in the Canadian Foreign Service and eleven years in the Senate of Canada. Two of the key ideas that frame her vision are that as rights holders, children have a right to participate in matters that affect their lives, and that every child needs at least one adult to provide steadfast and consistent support. In The Children's Senator contributors detail Pearson's influence on children's rights scholarship, research, and advocacy in a variety of areas including Indigenous children's rights, youth justice, commercial sexual exploitation of children, children's mental health, and corporal punishment. Following Pearson's lifelong commitment to highlighting young people's participation, the volume also includes testimonials from former students regarding her invaluable mentorship. Pearson's professional career and aspects of her personal life, including her experience as a parent of five children, merge in a fascinating account of Canada's premier children's rights advocate. An intimate and compelling collection, The Children's Senator celebrates Pearson as a catalyst of change in Canada and internationally. Her efforts to construct a children's rights architecture in collaboration with decision-makers and young people inform a legacy that has laid a foundation for children's rights into the twenty-first century.

Book Description
"Still Ain't Satisfied -- Canadian women certainly aren't! And this collection of twenty-seven articles on the major women's issues of the decade shows why feminists have only begun to fight. Women are still paid less than their male counterparts, rape and wife battering remain brutal social problems and inadequate day care still threatens women's right to work. These and many other injustices that undermine more than fifty percent of Canada's population are thoughtfully explored in this timely and provocative book.Talented writers from across the country review the dynamic changes in the women's movement over the last ten years. Controversial issues like abortion, pornography, sexuality and women and work are examined. Non-traditional jobs for women, rape and day care are only a few of the many concerns brought into focus. Still Ain't Satisfied provides a stimulating look at some of the most important issues of our time, issues which have touched the lives of all individuals in this country." --
