Confederation life In- surance is the carrier of in- surance for all employee groups of the Durham Board of Education, with the exception of Long Term Disability coverage for secondary teachers which was transferred to another carrier effective May 1, 1994. Effective Aug. 11, Con- federation life Insurance has gone into receivership, to be liquidated by agent Peat Marwick Thorne Inc. Based on all information and advice available at the current time, the Durham Board of Education will continue to deal with Con- federation life Insurance, in receivership, through Peat Marwick Thorne Inc. A Court Order obtained by Peat Marwick Thorne Inc. states that 100 percent benefit coverage for all claims reported after Aug. 11, will be provided for group clients who continue to pay their monthly premiums. In addition, the liquidator has announced that it has invited selected major financial institutions to bid on the purchase of Confederation life's highly successful Group Life and Health business in Canada. The sale process has been structured so that an an- nouncement and closing of the deal should occur very quickly. Claims submitted before Aug. 11, will be subject to limits outlined by Comp - Corp, the "umbrella" in- surance company and regulatory body for the Canadian insurance in- dustry. This should not af- fect any health and dental claims or life insurance claims for Durham Board employee groups.

The board will in- vestigate means of assisting those affected employees who could suf- fer financial difficulties as a result of the capped mon- thly payments.

Provincial Government Holds Line On Library Grants Operating grants to public libraries and First Nation libraries across Ontario will remain constant in the 1994-95 fiscal year despite overall spending cuts by the provincial government. Ontario Minister of Culture. Tourism and Recreation Anne Swarbrick has announced libraries will receive 534,032.513 in the current fiscal year. "Our government is maintaining its funding to libraries in very tough economic times," Minister Swarbrick said. "I am personally committed to ensuring libraries remain a reliable source of learning. libraries are also key public ac- cess points to the world of electronic information and our government recognizes their importance to all." The grant for public library boards in southern Ontario will be maintained at S7.52 per household and in the north. S8.2B per household. Each county library board will con- tinue to receive an additional $25,ou0 in addition to the per household grant. For 1994-95, the pay equity adjustment has been added to the per household amount for libraries that have implemented pay equity plans. Library grants will continue to be based on household counts as reported by the Ministry of Murrucipal Affairs as of Jan. 1, 1990. Grants to Fust Nation Libraries will be maintained at $3.Q3 per capita in southern Ontario and $3.34 per capita us- irte regv;tered band populations as of Jan. 1. 1990. Bluffs Erosion Dear Sir. Re your article on "Bluffs Erasion Funding" in Wed. July 30 issue of The News Post. is it surprising that a goodly por- tion of the Bluffs in the Sylvan area continues to erode when orw goes north of the City to Steeles and even further north where the water sheds for our eastern side rivers and streams are located. The building and consequent digging of hundreds of acres of land for high-rise construction has been continuing for many years. It does not take any knowledge of the environ- ment to realize that this constant digging away, to great depths of the hard core of clay soil must eventually allow the waters from the water sheds to run south to the soft soil of the bluffs and thus cause the enormous erosion. (rte wonders Ainere Dr. Frankford was when the influx of developers took over the digging and building of the im- mense number of high rise buildings with deep, deep subterranean basements were being excavated and built. one ort)% has to see such roads as Kingston Rd. and Gwld-Aood Parkway and others, after a heavy rainfall north of the city. These have only over the past fe% years been badly flood- ed because the clay foundations previously holding back the waters, or at least constraining the now heavy flow of rushing waters, has been dug out for highrise buildings. Nov, thousands of dollars have to be spent to right this situation and although the Ministry of Natural Resources has approved a grant for this project it will be the taxpayer who will eventually foot the bill and be theories to suffer the loss of their land b_y erosion of the Bluffs. Where was Dr. Bob Frankford and other parliamen- tarians when the greedy developers took over northern Scarborough and land to the north of the city. I wonder will we be able to save anv part of these impor- tant "pieces of natural heritage" or is it too late and we will continue to see heavy footage of the Bluffs erode year after year. I am a sad resident of southern Scarborough when I walk along the top of the ever -receding bluffs beside and above Lake Ontario. Mary Moore Livingston Rd.

It has always been my understanding that consultation was one of the most important demerits of the guidelines issued in early June, 1994. The minister had taken many suggestions by community groups and woven them into those guidelines. with a key recommendation that parent and community groups be consulted during implementa- tion nta- tion of the policies. Mr. Horrox is wrong if he says "that's not likely to hap- pen". He, and some of the other trustees think that they have done their part by bringing forth the catch phrase ..Zero Tolerance". There is much more to improving our educational system and its lack of structure than simply removing the worst offenders. The statement by Diane Malott describes my understan- ding of the minister's directions. In spite of what Mr. Hor- ror's understanding of what has been done before, it is esential that people be heard relative to the new policies. Mr. Horrox, and some of his trustees, have demonstrated their complete disinterest in what the majority wants. We won't be forgetting the increase, nor the arrogance shown towards the citizens that dared to challenge the trustees. The citizens, and indeed the newspapers, gave the trustees every opportunity to correct a terrible miscalculation of how the public feels towards being treated with contempt. Trustees may think that everything will be forgiven because they introduced a catch phrase policy of zero tolerance. For many years, public school supporters have been suggesting that the system required more structure idiscipline). Discipline was a dirty word amongst the bureaucrats. Now suddenly "zero tolerance" is accep- table' Our problems need more solution than 7 expulsions. Mr. Horrox's comments about further public participa- tion regarding school violence policies again demonstrates a miscalculation of how important our input is- Maybe Mr. Horrox feels it would be better to avoid committees and open participation until after the election, hoping that our poor voter turn -out will allow him to sneak through the elec- tion process. Not a chance. Apathy just does not run that deep. Paul Crawford 1 Kimbercroft Court Scarborough Court Case On Religious Discrimination In Education During the week of Aug. 29, Mr. Justice Warren Winkler of the Ontario Court of Justice will hear a precedent -setting case involving widespread religious discrimination in the public education system of Ontario. The legal action has been launched by ten concerned parents, with the active support of the Ontario Multi -faith Coalition for Equity in Education (OMCEE). The Bal case (named for the first parent listed in the ap- plication) will supply proof that the Ontario government has repeatedly refused to allow numerous parents to choose the kind of religious education they wish for their children. Peter R. Jervis of Lerner & Associates, who acts as legal counsel to OMCEE, will argue that the Ontario govern- ment's persistent refusal to provide public funding for religious alternatives within the public school system violates section l(a)-which guarantees "freedom of cons- cience and religion" -and section 15 --which guarantees "equal protection and equal benefit of the law without discrimination based on religion" -of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. According to Mr. Jervis, the OMCEE case will seek to establish that "majoritarian" secular values in Ontario "dictate a secular public education system". Parents and students belonging to religious minorities are forced to either conform to secular values in education or find alter- native education for their children outside the public system at their own expense. A key aspect of the OMCEE case will be affidavits and evidence from parents, teachers and administrators of the Stratton Creels Alternative Programme, a Christian alter- native school operating under the auspices of the Fort Frances -Rainy River Board of Education. OMCEE con- tends that the Ontario Ministry of Education's faulty inter- pretation of the 1990 Court of Appeal decision in Elgin Coun- ty led to unwarranted restrictions on the fundamental freedoms and equality rights of the parents, students and teachers in the Stratton Christian school and elsewhere. In light of the unanimous decision of the Ontario Court of Appeal of July 6, 1994 against public funding for Jewish and Christian schools operating independently of the public system, Gerald Vandetande, ObiCEE's government rela- tions coordinator. commented. "The courts have not yet heard the full story of the Ontario government's active disicrimination against parents and students of minority fai th-comrnuni ties. Our case will show that the Ontario Ministry of Education treats religious minorities as second- class citurns who do not enjoy the fundamental freedoms and equality rights guaranteed by the Charter... -In a democratic, pluralistic society there should be equal educational justice for all people and all faiths, in- cluding minority faith -communities." Vandezande added. OMCEE members include spokespersons for the Ontario Council of Sikhs, the Christian Coalition for Religious Freedom in Education, the Islamic Society of North America and the Hindu community. OMCEE is dedicated to seeking educational justice. legal equality, fiscal fairness, real respect and visible tolerance in the treatment of the diverse religious views and faith -communities active in Ontario education, within and outside the tax -supported school systems. Queen's Park Report Anne Swarbrick, M.P.P. Scarborough West 111011 1995 Rent Control Guideline Is Lowest In History There's good news for tenatns. The rent control guideline set by the Ministry of Housing for 1995 will be 2.9%, the lowest guideline in the history of rent regulation in Ontario. The guideline is the amount by which a residential landlord can increase the rent once each year without mak- ing an application under the Rent Control Act. Most tenants in Ontario receive a rent increase each year at or below the amount of the guideline. The 1995 guideline of 2.9% is a reduction from the 1994 guideline of 3.2% and the 1993 guideline of 4.9°x. Under the Rent Control Act, the guideline is calculated each year using a formula which includes a component to cover the cost of inflation in operating a rental building, and a constant component of 2% to cover the cost of capital repairs to the building. The Rent Control Act allows a landlord to apply for an ad- ditional rent increase of up to 3% above the guideline to cover the cost of necessary major repairs or very high in- creases in property taxes or utilities. The landlord must justify the costs at a rent control hearing. The 1995 guideline takes effect for rent increases which occur between Jan. 1, 1995 and Dec. 31, 1995. i Give A Gift That Lasts All Year!

All parties to the legal pro- ceedings have made a joint application to the Federal Court of Canada seeking an expedited hearing, in January of 1995, of the issues raised by the pro- ceedings. The Minister of Natural Resources Canada and Atomic Energy of Canada Limited have agreed that no soil that is contaminated with radium will be brought to the Passmore site, and no site preparation activities will be engaged in, providing the court grants the ap- plication for the expedited bearing. Both the federal and On- tario governments remain committed to the Malvern Remedial Project and will vigorously defend the pro- ceedings which have been brought. As additional news concerning the pro- gress of the legal pro- ceedings become available, the Malvern Remedial Project will con- tinue to provide it.

New Parking At Glen Abbey Golf Course Here is good news for spectators needing parking at the Canadian Open Golf Tournament, Sept. 6-10, at the Glen Abbey Golf Course, on Dorval Drive in Oakville. Glen Abbey United Church, with its new building nearing comple- tion, is turning its prime piece of real estate into a parking lot for the week long event. Situated at Up- per Middle Road and Not- tinghill Gate ( Fourth Line) it is the closest public park- ing area in walking distance to the spectator entrance to the course. Parking is at a premium for the tens of thousands of golf enthusiasts who crowd into the Glen Abbey com- munity for the six days of the annual pro -am tourna- ment, practice rounds and the 72 hole championship. During the tournament this year the church's five acre site will accommodate several hundred cars daily. The moneys realized through this enterprise will be used towards the church's building fund. Good stewardship sometimes means seizing an opportunity for good business as well as pro- viding a public service. Shortly after the end of this tournament the Glen Abbey United Church con- gregation will start using the new building on this site. The official opening is slated to take place in Oc- tober. The Glen Abbey com- munity retains elements of a long relationship with Christian churches. The golf course was once the site of a Roman Catholic monastery. Street names such as Monastery Dr. and Pilgrim's Way recall this connection. The logo of the golf course pictures a monk enthusiastically swinging a golf club. 3rd.

August 31, 1991 .Bill Watt's Worlds AT STRATFORD As well as being a keen observer of the human con- dition, Molil're had a quiet- ly dazzling gift for recor- ding his observations and presenting them humourously. Abundant proof is provided in Strat- ford's first ever presenta- tions of The Imaginary Cuckold and The School For Husbands. The former is fine fluf- fery about imagined adultery in the lower classes. The latter deals with the efficacy of lenien- cy over too strict discipline. It also nicely il- lustrates the Eleventh Commandment; Never take thyself too damned seriously. The principal role in each is played by Brian Bedford in manner quite superb. As The -bourgeois - Imaginary Cuckold he takes on a lower class ac- cent (of Bristol we think) and a swagger like that of a mongrel dog barking at a passing purebred from the safety of its own porch. He struts and retreats. blusters and dissembles, blows hard but hardly bkr^.

In The School For Husbands he's a self satisfied ass who can- not/ will not realize that the comfort of composure is easy ... for one unwilling to seek the pleasures of in- dulgence. Here, his accent and manner are those of a person of comfort and breeding but not those of a man of the world. The au- dience applauds his come uppance ... but not as loudly as Mr. Bedford's perfor- mance in the role. One is accustomed to ex- cellence at Stratford - indeed, it's the virtual norm -but Mr. Beford's strait-laced comic capers in these two works trans- cend mere talent and ap- proach genius. Bravo sir. It must not be supposed, however, that his perfor- mances diminish those of the other cast members. One delights for example, in Colm Feore's silly ass antics as a young lover, Olivia Berkelund as a cracking wise maid and a young maid ripe for pluck- ing. oh so many others. And. of course. there is Nicholas Pennel as the indulgent -and ultimately winning -guardian in The School For Husbands. Here friends, is true nobility. Both plays are in rhym- ing verse that owes much to the brilliant translation of Richard Wilbur. Rhym- ing translation is the most difficult of linguistic tasks and Mr. Wilbur's ac- complishment deserves ac- colades. So too, does the direction of Michael Iangham. It's tight but decidely not restrictive. One for'giives the occasional and perhaps unnecessary gimmickry. As Moliere wrote in Le Depit Amotnreux, "One dies but once and that's for such a long time".

They should know better. Show Boat as a produc- tion stands by itself; cast members sustain it. If some should have greater impact in some roles than others who have played them, then that's frosting on the cake. After close to a year the current produc- tion seems to have a silkier kinetic but it's one that enhances, not detracts from the fundamental thrust of the narrative. That's a high toned way of saying that it's still bloody good. Robert Morse has return- -ed to the cast as Cap'n An- dy but on the evening of our repeat attendance the role was played by John McMartin who will play it on Broadway. Com- parisons? None really. They're both excellent though Mr. McMartin seems more energetic in his dancing. Clovis Leachman as Par - thy is better than her predecessor in the role - better singer for one thing - but then. we've been in love with her since our first sight of the lady on The Defenders television show. Patti Co henour and Hugh Panaro are better as Magnolia and Ravenal-at least in tandem -than the earlier players. The latter has more of a boyish quali- ty and his booming voice seems all the more dramatic for it. Brings out the best in Miss Cohenour too. Frank and Ellie are now played by Peter Slutsker and Jacquey Maltby (any relation to Richard Maltby?). They're as good and possibly, even better than the earlier terpsichore twins. Julie is now played by Valarie Pettiford (Oscar Pettiford connection?) and she gives the role a harder edgP. Meg Tour is marginally more dynamic as the grown up Kim and Vivian Reed is a superior Queenie. Joe is now played by Dan Tullis Jr. The highest oom- pliment one can pay is to suggest that he's in- distinguishable from Michel Bell. Now, please return to cliches One and Two. Thank you.

Weill], don't dismiss it but do give custom as well to the Record Art Collection on exhibit there until Sept. 10th. When 33 V3 RPM recor- dings became a reality they were packaged in envelopes with titles and cut identifications listed top to bottom and left to right. They looked like menus. Quickly, however, it was realized that the larger size of the envelopes allowed for expressive art work and a new industry -well, up- dated anyway -carne into being. Some of the LP covers were quite en- joyable for their own sakes. Some were true works of art. Sadly, LPs have pretty much gone the way of the dodo, though public distress over their demise might just bring them back, and album cover art isn't: cannot be what it once was. Happily though, some of it has survived and a representative sampling is the subject of the exhibi- tion. It's quite enjoyable and recommended by Yours truly.

Welcome to the dude ranch, one of America's hottest growing vacation trends. From the wild mountain regions of Alaska to the wide plains of Texas, work- ing ranches are opening their bunk houses and barn doors to travellers looking for a chance to stand tall in the saddle. Cowboys, horses and thou- sand acre spreads have always been an important part of rural American culture. It has only been in recent years, thanks to the public's fascinatation with the western lifestyle, that ranchers have been able to combine tourism with the business of raising cattle. Whether you like to ride horses or just th porch sw- ing. there are now ranch vacations to suit all tastes, in almost every state in America. The attraction for this type of holiday goes beyond the desire to mend barbed wire fences and to sleep under the stars. The Dude Ranch of the '90s is modestly priced, en- vironmentally friendly and a healthy way to escape the stressful tension that comes from living in the ci- ty- Some guest ranches are rustic: others are equipped with all the modern conve- niences. Rest assured that no matter where the guest ranch is, horses, the out- doors and good food will always be the foundation of the getaway. There are over 400 registered guest ranches in the United States. A dude ranch's program is depen- dent upon the location and the size of the property. Urban cowboys who want to spend a week in the sad- dle without ever seeing a road or a strand of barbed wire, should look to the dude ranches of Texas and New Mexico. Popular establishments in the Rocky Mountain states include four -season alpine trail riding and hunting in their daily itineraries while in the east, the dude ran- ches provide instruction in cowboy skills to tenderfoot guests - Movies like City Slickers depict the dude ranch as a place where people ride horses, work cattle, eat authentic chuck wagon 'vit- Ues' and enjoy cowboy music. Well shucks, the good news is Hollywood is right' These places do ex- ist, and, they often offer munch more. Trick riding, cross country wagon train trips and yes, even line dance lessons, are all part of a modern dude ranch stay. Many of the ranches specialize in certain aspects of the Western ex- perience. There is an out- fitting firm in Wyoming that offers all -women horseback trips into the Ab- saroka Mountains. An Idaho dude ranch offers eco -tours for ecology mind- ed cowboys. A growing number of ranches make a point of having bilingual and trilingual key staff on hand so French and Spanish speaking dudes can say "Howdy" in their own tongue. Most of the working ran- ches are equipped to take only a limited number of guests who camp out in comforatble, air condition- ed bunk houses and guest log'cabins. There area few large scale operations which combine equine ac- tivities with golf, tennis and swimming, and can house guests in hotel -like surroundings. The majority of dude ran- ches offer inclusive, reasonably -priced packages that feature lodg- ing, food, horse rentals and entertainment. For exam- ple, a four -night stay in many southwestern ran- ches can start at $329 U.S. per person. Visitors can stay at other ranches for as low as $60 U.S. per night. Many of the dude ranches encourage family par- ticipation. There are special programs avaidabgle for children so that parents are free to roam and ride on their own. There are even a few establishments that have a bargain basement nanny rate for families who want to bring their own non - riding babysitter along. Getting in touch with a dude ranch is not a pro- blem, even though some of the loom are in isolated unities. The ranches belong to state and regional associations which can be accessed through TRAVEL USA, the consumer infor- mation service.

August 31, 1994 Councillor Tzekas Calls For Ward 3 Advance Poll Scarborough Ward 3 City Councillor NBke Tzekas has asked city staff to consider moving the advance poll location for Ward 3 voters away from Jack Goodlad Community Centre, located in Ward 4 and into Ward 3 where it belongs. "1 think it sends the wrong message to the voters of Ward 3 to ask them to travel out of their ward to vote in advance polls," says Tzekas. "That's not right, nor is it fair to my Ward 3 consti- tuents." He remembers feeling that way in the last election before he became coun- cillor when he and other Ward 3 residents were re- quired to travel to Winston Churchill Collegiate to vote in an advance poll. That's in Ward 4 too, which is where this year's Ward 3 proposed site - the Goodlad Centre. is. Councillor Tzekas, a strong proponent for the building of a Ward 3 com- munity centre during his first term in office says city staff told him that Ward 3 advance polls have been held out of the ward in the past because Ward 3 does not have a community Cen- tre. The list of locations published by the city would support Tzekas' conten- tions. All the other wards' advance poll locations are situated in community cen- tres within their respective ward's boundaries. According to the Ward 3 councillor: "There are a number of issues here. The obvious one, of course, is that Ward 3 desperately needs a community centre for its residents - the only ward in all of Scarborough without one. We came close to initiating the feasibility study for one this term. The economy and a tie vote at council scuttled the plans. But I intend to forge ahead again with that immediate- ly after the next election if my constituents find me worthy to continue their fight. - Tzekas adds: "Another issue is one of optics. How does it look to the tax- payers of Ward 3 that they are the (wily Scarborough R= — RN guy • :,avast 0" nwsrisr IDanea r • •oeai sikasseaait o 000 K4Prs • wc. nrbn ass twa11 aorocba awww aom • Gows ra Im to be or or "M's .a, • uea (torte" ar tiway too" nrir • Easy r MV - sr tr.a taeciirt ar own . ittaNu err tst.aa arrr • sorarar s MOWN ow.•a..a aotmr -, • A" *221% P C ;ct ,k"r� Orley *19 plus SHsMirg d ^.arciirG lEc&_&C,nC to UUIF r,l3s •- M Ata/rrsan Ave.ANA 1, Ynkhem.0et UE a A.

Finally, an issue that Councillor Tzekas contends is of equal importance is where the advance poll should be located in Ward 3. He has recommended that it be in the Aldebrain Building at 2155 Lawrence Ave. E. "This building is unique and ideally suited for all Ward 3 residents for many reasons," Councillor Tzekas says. "First of all it has over 100 outdoor park- ing spaces and parking is the most critical factor to be considered. It is wheelchair accessible, and for people being dropped off, it has sheltered access for both cars and residents to enter the building pro- per. For people using tran- sit, it's on several established TTC bus routes. " A significant factor in Tzekas' thinking is that the Aldebrain complex is uni- quely designed, from its residential suites to the ergonomics of the building itself, for many of its residents who are physical- ly challenged, and already live there. "I think Scarborough as a city can make a very public statement, here and be on the vanguard of social awareness in Metro, by recognizing the need to take into account the im- portance of providing an advance poll location that is particularly helpful to its physically challenged residents." 10th.

The Language Trap Or IHow To Defend Yourself Against The Tyranny Of Words by S. Moms Engel Prentice -Hall I n c.1984 Softcover,178 pages 510.95 S. Morns Engel's valuable text is in the tradition of esteemed word -watchers like Edwin Newman and William Safire. For word -conscious logophiles, this volume makes fun reading: while many of us can occasionally lapse into jargon, malapropism and even (shudder!) bad grammar, we are often not conscious of verbal traps of distorted meaning. Professor Engel explains clearly the nature of logical fallacy and its insidious influence in our daily lives. An extract: Because its roots run so deep, language reveals us to ourselves and to other is profound and crucial ways. And this applies not only to embarrassing "Freudian slips" of the type just noted, but even to such seemingly superficial details of language as errors in spelling and grammar. Often such errors are not accidental but rather indicative of patterns firmly established in us. Similarly, language also pictures our inner qualities. The faults so mirrored may themselves be minor, but what they reveal about us may be far from trivial. the bureaucrat who can't speak in anything but the passive voice (revealing in unwillingness to take responsibility for his or her actions) is displaying not only an irritating linguistic habit but one that is deeply revelatory, psychologically and morally. The metamessages others send us can therefore be crucial. To ignore them would be foolhardy. Decoding them. however, involves an examination of certain features of language not normally discussed in textbooks on gram- mar. Nevertheless, we are becoming more and more aware of how very much at the heart of grammar such things in- deed lie. And this is true even when no specific gram- matical label has yet been devised for the particular lapse that is otherwise psycholinguistically so illuminating. -Recommended by Stefan Sierakowski (Lester B.

(Photo - Bob 11,,: Chinese Children's Paintings Exhibit Forty-eight paintings by 6 -to -14 year old children in China will be exhibited in the lobby of the Scar- borough City Centre throughout September. The exhibit will be formally opened Sept. 9 at a recep- tion for Chinese and Cana- dian governrnentrepresen- tatives, educators, and community leaders. William W. Small, Presi- dent of the Canadian China Society, which is arranging the exhibit, made the an- nouncement. He said the paintings from 16 Chinese cities and provinces, will be sold after the exhbition. The proceeds will be used to promote friendship and better understanding bet- ween the Canadian and Chinese people. One possibility is spon- soring follow-up exhibi- tions of paintings by Cana- dian school children in various places in China. Most of these selected works of art were done in Chinese schools, many in "Youth Palaces". These palaces are similar in pur- pose to Canadian com- munity centres and boys' and girls' clubs. Visual and performing arts classes as well as physical fitness pro - grams are given by these bodies to Chinese children after school. Most of the paintings are conventional in subject and many are imaginative. They are done in paint, water color, ink, tempera, magic marker, wax, relief, collage, and mixed methods. Those interested in buying any painting are to make a close bid in writing and give a deposit of $25 which is refundable. The paintings are on a tour across Canada arrang- ed by the 13 member bodies of the Federation of Canada China Friendship Associations including the Canada China Society of Toronto. Other cities represented are Hamilton, Oshawa -Durham, Ottawa, Halifax, Victoria, Prince George, Nanaimo, White Rock, Vancouver, Calgary, Regina, Winnipeg. Mr. Small, who is Vice - President of the Federa- tion, points out the member organizations are non- political, non-profit, and voluntary. They all organize various Canada China activities. The Toronto group has some 200 members and seeks more to befriend the many students from China com- pleting professional studies here. Tours to China, talks and workshops, film shows and other activities are organized and publications produced. The following Chinese cities are represented in the paintings: Shanghai, Chengdu, Shamen, Hangzhou, Tianjin, Ningx- le. Provinces represented Anhui, Guangxi, Jilin, Sechuan, Guandong, Henan, Fujian, Zhejiang, Guangxi as well as the Moslem Autonomous Region of Ningxia. Interested In Dance? Interested in dance?
