In case there is any doubt, we remain committed to maintaining the head office of the company in Winnipeg, and the CanWest Global Foundation's activities will continue to reflect that. Our recent $3 million donation to the University of Winnipeg Theatre School and the fact that CanWest's Winnipeg employees are leading contributors to the United Way should confirm that, as should our many other activities here. I do not agree that Winnipeg missed what I consider to be a small and elusive opportunity in not having a "media city" here, but I do agree with Mr. [NICHOLAS Hirst] that with targeted economic policy and a can-do attitude, Manitoba can reach its full potential.

At this particularly challenging time in our economy, this type of construction, this type of infrastructure, is something that puts shovels in local hands and gets people to work when they need it most," said [Peter MacKay], addressing a small crowd of uniformed officers, media and local Tory politicians at the base.
"These investments are providing business to local companies across Canada, jobs in communities across Canada, construction, truck drivers, excavators, operators, engineers. Many labourers will be the beneficiaries of these announcements.
When asked, MacKay said the projects will be publicly tendered "as soon as possible," but local bidders will not have an advantage for the federal contracts.

This article focuses on rural girls' aspirations of becoming migrants in a setting where girls are subjected to social constraints curtailing their movements in the midst of an otherwise mobile society, where mothers and grandmothers frequently recall their experiences in Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire, and boys set off on their first migration in their mid- or late teens. However, the high level of mobility affects both intergenerational relations and the ways in which girls can justify their wish to migrate. Based on multi-sited ethnographic research between 2002 and 2008 in Burkina Faso and Côte d'Ivoire, the article explores the ways in which images of success and material wealth of (trans)national migrants feed into adolescent girls' imaginations of migration and its outcome. Furthermore,...

In an evolving landscape of traditional and new literacies, the roles of the school library and teacher librarian are changing. In order to support instruction in multiple literacies, teacher librarians must rethink both collections and services. Materials featuring popular culture influences are explored for their relevance to several types of literacy instruction. The inclusion of popular culture materials in school library collections can support achievement in traditional literacy while facilitating connection with everyday literacy practices. Popular culture materials also provide instructional opportunities for critical media literacy as well as information literacy. Popular culture texts are worthy of inclusion in school library collections for reasons enhancing both pedagogy and...
