TERRY FOX-
Running to the hearts of Canadians
Gatineau, QC-April 02, 2015
The Canadian Museum of History
has created the most comprehensive exhibition ever organized on the Terry Fox
run across Canada and his continuing legacy. The exhibit, compiled from items
preserved by Terry Fox’s mother, Betty Fox, will be on display from April 2,
2015 to January 24, 2016 marking the 35th anniversary of Terry’s 5,
373 kilometre journey across Canada.
In June,1981, Fox, 22, died a
national hero after running half-way across Canada to raise money for cancer
research. Running with an artificial leg, he raised $24 million dollars. But
that wasn’t all - his inspiring story created a national commitment that has
continued to grow. Since his death, close to $700 million has been raised in
his name towards cancer research.
The artifacts, photographs,
interviews, press clippings, and journal entries on display will allow visitors
to retrace Terry’s journey from St. John’s, Newfoundland, to Thunder Bay,
Ontario 35 years ago.
“This run is
not for me. It’s for people like you who someday may have to fight what I have
had to.” - Terry Fox.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE- THE
CHRONICLE HERALD NAILS IT...
Politicians merely puppets
Re: Andrew Terris’s April 14
letter, “Smash-and-grab déjà vu.” Many years ago, I had the pleasure of working
with Andrew, who was then with Visual Arts Nova Scotia.
He played an integral part
of a fundraising project of our Rotary Club. The concept — novel at the time
and probably still is — was for the club to secure sponsorships from a dozen
civic-minded folks such as John Risley and Don Cameron (Lawton’s, not the
ex-premier) at $2,000 each. Andrew and his group facilitated the purchase of a
dozen pieces of juried art from the artists themselves. The club then sold
tickets for $10 each and patrons could choose which of the paintings their
ticket was to be drawn for. A great event that led the way to seeing artists
being paid rather than being expected to donate their work. This gave me a
window into the art world for the first time.
Initially, I was appalled at
the perceived arrogance of Finance Minister Diana Whalen and Premier Stephen
McNeil in not talking to the industry first about cutting the film tax credit.
Andrew’s comments put me right: we can’t blame our well-intentioned
politicians; they are but a passing blight on the real rulers of the province —
the unseen senior civil servants who pull the strings of their “masters” in an
artful display of puppetry.
If you doubt me and can put
up with 1980s British comedy, watch Yes, Minister — a sublimely funny and
uncanny window into why things never change. I now believe Ms. Whalen and Mr.
McNeil are just more victims of the hidden powers behind the throne. After you
have watched a couple of episodes, all will become clear. You’ll see why the
Ivany report has gotten lost and why nothing ever really happens except for a
new study.
Jon Denman, Boutilier’s
Point
AND ...
Smash-and-grab déjà vu
I’ve seen this movie before.
Nova Scotia’s culture sector works for years, even decades, to build public
policies and programs that will enable sector-driven development. And then, out
of the blue, with little warning or consultation, government hit men swoop in
and annihilate those programs in a single day.
That’s exactly what John
Hamm and Rodney MacDonald did to the first Nova Scotia Arts Council in 2002.
That action devastated and divided the sector. Recovery took almost 10 years.
Now it’s the Liberals’ turn
to smash and grab, turning their back on the decades of hard work it took to
build a film industry here.
As a senior member of Nova
Scotia’s cultural community, I’ve watched the steady development of our film
industry over the past 40 years. There is absolutely no question that there
were two essential factors in its growth from zero to a $130-million-per-year
industry over that time:
1. The Nova Scotia Film
Development Corporation (later Film and Creative Industries Nova Scotia)
2. The film tax credit.
Kill these, and you kill the
goose that laid the golden egg.
The Finance Department has
been trying for years to end creative industries tax credits. Years ago, they
shot down a proposed new media tax credit that would have jump-started the
digital media sector. They tried to kill the film tax credit during the NDP
government and were beaten back by the community and the finance minister of
the day.
Now they’re at it again, and
this time they’ve won the day.
Over the years, I’ve watched
again and again as bean counters and management consultants, who have no
understanding of the culture sector, propose cuts to arts and culture programs.
Their only narrow criteria are the bottom line and cost control.
They have no idea whatsoever
of the myriad benefits that accrue from investment in the arts and creative
industries: job creation, economic growth, industrial diversification,
community development, social cohesion, tourism attraction, youth retention and
much more.
I watched years ago when
Alberta shut down its film development corporation as a way to balance the
provincial budget. The filmmakers left the province and their film industry
collapsed. They fled to other jurisdictions where their efforts were
appreciated and supported. More recently, Saskatchewan axed its film tax credit
and guess what happened? Their industry collapsed. And they lived to regret it.
The Ivany report says we
have to be daring and innovative to build a 21st century economy. Well, guess
which industries are at the heart of the economy of the future? It’s the
creative industries, with the film and media industries at the forefront. They
are vibrant, exciting and growing. They are readily exportable, have a
potential world market, bring Nova Scotia to the world and the world to Nova
Scotia. They are a magnet for young people who want challenging and interesting
careers.
Alas, the bean counters and
apparatchiks, the people who know the price of everything and the value of
nothing, have triumphed. Stephen McNeil and Diana Whalen have cut off Nova
Scotia’s nose to spite its beautiful face. And they will have to live with the
consequences.
Andrew Terris, Halifax

insist on wild salmon
Once again, farmed salmon in
the Atlantic region are found to be suffering from infectious salmon anemia.
The latest outbreak was at an undisclosed location in the Bay of Fundy.
Consumers should be aware
that, in the past, infected salmon have been sold by our local supermarkets and
seafood vendors without any packaging warnings to customers.
Though no tests have been
done to determine the effect these diseased salmon have on humans, our
government insists they are good to eat. Studies in other countries, however,
suggest eating farmed salmon is not safe, particularly for children and
pregnant women.
Our governments have given
millions of dollars to the fish farm industry and have subsidized these
privately owned companies for years when sick salmon had to be slaughtered.
Could this be the reason Canadians are encouraged to eat contaminated salmon?
Despite the recently
released recommendations of the Doelle-Lahey report that call for more
transparency around the open-net pen salmon-farming industry, neither the
government nor the industry will release information about the location or the
severity of this most recent outbreak of ISA.
Consumers must look out for
themselves by refusing to purchase salmon and trout raised in open-net pen
farms. These farms are a threat to the coastal environment, our lobster
industry, our majestic wild salmon and our health. Consumers should demand wild
fish, or fish raised in land-based farms that are free of sea lice,
antibiotics, pesticides and diseases.
