An officer in the Order of Canada, a multiple Juno Award winner and a Juno Hall of Fame inductee, the 69-year-old entertainer also won an Academy Award and a Golden Globe for her song "Up Where We Belong" (1982, "An Officer and A Gentleman"), has had several honorary doctorates bestowed upon her - she earned one in fine arts from the University of Massachusetts - among countless other honours.
More than 100 exhibitors, representatives and professionals, from post-secondary institutions, governmental agencies, companies, retailers and more, were on hand to answer questions and give some insight in their area of specialty.

We're ethnic Ukrainians," she said. "I speak English, Ukrainian, Polish, Russian, and what I call point-five French. "I've just had my 74th birthday," said the fine arts honours graduate. "This is my first (degree)." "I started in the summer of 1968 in my first course," laughed [Steve Naherniak], a graduate of Gordon Bell High School. "My major was Ukrainian and my minor was history."
If you go into Saskatchewan schools you'll see lots of role models but they're not Saskatchewan-based. We have them here," said Cameron. "This is a big event for SaskTel in terms of focusing on Aboriginal youth and helping them to achieve their goals, along with the Wicihitowin Foundation. We're always proud of the outstanding entries that we receive. "Next year's going to be bigger. Not the best, because every year's great, but one of our greater years because we're going to recognize all of our youths from the past. We're going to do something really special," she said. The award recipient in the Performing/Fine Arts category is Chantel Redman, 17, from Standing Buffalo First Nation, who attends Grade 12 at Bert Fox high school in Fort Qu'Appelle. Redman enjoys many traditional danc...
Don't get me wrong. I'm not against summer programs. I think there is a lot out there for kids to do that will take them out of your hair for a period of time, engage them, and involve some sort of craft made out of insect legs that you can stick to your refrigerator with a magnet. What could be wrong with that? Nothing, as long as those of us who have gotten into the sad-yet-true game of measuring our parental status on the basis of how many activities our children are enrolled in don't forget to at some point over the summer just let our kids simply be kids. Let's get a grip, parents. Summer is about sunscreen on noses and plenty of room to run. But if that's still not enough to keep your young 'uns happy, here's some ideas of free and near-free activities that are guaranteed to keep...

This festival recognizes the power of public art and what it can do for community," explains [Erin Nuttal]. "It's about pushing boundaries. We want to turn heads and start conversations with this artwork. The artists include two Winnipeggers, Cyrus Smith and Ian August, as well as Jesse Reno from Oregon, Marco Scarpato of Belgium and Bert Monterona, a native of the Philippines who is currently artist-in-residence at the Vancouver Film School. Ian August is a University of Manitoba fine arts graduate and a founding member of Winnipeg's Two Six Collective. His mural explores global warming with humour: a group of down-on-their luck polar bears wind up panhandling on Winnipeg's Main Street.
Since his "The Best Man" exhibit at the Art Gallery of Southwestern Manitoba, Riel Benn has been very busy, working on the 1,000 paintings that bear his signature.This week, in fact, he is opening a solo show - his first in Brandon since 2004 - at the newly opened PASiG DESiGNS Art Gallery.

Despite its crown as the world's best-loved family tourism and shopping destination -- it's also home to the Florida Mall on Orange Blossom Trail, one of America's largest single-storey shopping havens -- the city has a surprising number of marvellous museums. The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art is a stellar example; it holds the world's largest collection of exquisite Tiffany glass, jewelry and pottery. Annually in early December, the museum's nine lead-glass Tiffany windows are lit up as a backdrop to a concert by the famed Bach Festival Choir. Also worth a visit is the Cornell Fine Arts Museum; it's free and has one of the finest art collections in the state. If you don't get enough razzle-dazzle during the day, treat your family to the Pirate's Dinner Adventure (piratesd...
It's meant for people to sit down and actually enjoy the books," says [Stacey Abramson], a University of Manitoba fine arts grad who is the Free Press freelance visual arts critic. "The idea is that the viewers will snoop through Babs' diaries," says Abramson. Each volume has a different theme, such as "The Kinky Years" and "That Month in Prison. In keeping with the "connections" idea, Bound has another, edgier side to it. Artists Terry Corrigan, Garrett Van Winkle and the As We Try & Sleep Collective (Kegan McFadden, Larry Glawson, Doug Melnyk and Butch of Wpg.) contribute works in the realm of do-it-yourself publishing.
The group's recommendations include: . that the school be scaled back to a Kindergarten to Grade 5 school, cutting Grades 6 through 8; . that a day-care facility be built within the school, operated in partnership with the Hamiota Kids Club; and . that Kenton school remain on review to ensure the quality of education the students receive. Though Shoal Lake high school would become big enough to be operated as a full-service facility with academic and business diploma curriculum, apprenticeships, fine arts education and high-tech educational programming, it would come with the loss of the community's elementary school.
