NORRIS, HANNAH MARIA (Armstrong), educator, Baptist missionary, and author; b. 30 Nov. 1842 in Canso, N.S., daughter of George Norris and Hannah Whitman; m. 31 Jan. 1874 the Reverend William Freeman Armstrong in Rangoon (Yangon), Burma, and they had two sons and a daughter; d. 14 Sept. 1919 in Toronto.
Maria Norris came from a Catholic-Protestant marriage at Canso. Her family’s mercantile background ensured that she received an adequate elementary education, which she combined with studies at the Normal School in Truro in 1860–61. After her return to Canso she taught both the town’s young and the Micmac children of the nearby islands, making the effort to learn the native language. The early work of the Baptist missionary to the Micmac, Silas Tertius Rand*, served as a model for her.
In 1866 Maria converted from Congregationalism to the Baptist faith. Two years later her independence of mind and action led her to take up a teaching post at the Baptists’ Grand Pre Seminary in Wolfville. There was at this time a rising interest among Canadian Protestant denominations in overseas missionary activity. Before her conversion Maria had found herself attracted by literature on missions in the Indian subcontinent, and at Wolfville, in the heartland of the Maritime Baptist organization, she was able to learn more, notably from the Reverend Arthur Richard Ralph Crawley and his wife, Laura Johnston, who were on furlough from Burma. She decided to offer herself to the Baptist Convention of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island for service in Burma.
The personal motives for Norris’s mission goal cannot be understood apart from her evangelical faith. There was no suspicion of “imposing a foreign religion” on another culture in the 1860s and 1870s. From the Baptist perspective, Norris was offering, not imposing; moreover, she could realize in the mission field the opportunity to improve the quality of life for women and children in societies where too often women were regarded as chattels.
Initial response from the convention was cool. Funds and qualms over sending unmarried women were the excuses offered. Only Norris’s decision to present herself to the American Baptist Missionary Union prompted the convention’s conservative members to bend. She had in fact embarked at Halifax when the Reverend Edward Manning Saunders persuaded her to approach the convention again. Church leaders now suggested that, if she studied the Karen languages and was successful in appealing to Baptist women for funds, the convention would accept her. Norris returned to Canso to launch the Woman’s Baptist Missionary Aid Society on 18 June 1870. Within two months, calling upon her drive and organizational abilities, she had formed societies in 32 centres in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. The outcome showed that Baptist women were anxious to have their own say about foreign missions within a women’s structure. In the face of this overwhelming response, the convention agreed to back Norris for mission work.
She left for Rangoon on 21 Sept. 1870 and eventually took up work in a school in Bassein. Later she was attached to the station at Tavoy. In January 1874 she was joined in Burma by seven other missionaries commissioned by the Maritime convention [see Mary E. Lamont*]. Among this group was William F. Armstrong, whom Maria had met when he was studying theology in Wolfville. The couple were married shortly after his arrival. The following year the Armstrongs reluctantly went to India, where the convention had decided to concentrate its efforts. Their unhappiness about abandoning the investment in effort and linguistic studies they had put into their Burma outreach was exacerbated by frequent illness. A return to Canada in 1880 to restore their health did not resolve their conflict with the convention, and when they returned to mission work it was in Burma, under the auspices of the American Baptist Missionary Union.
Altogether the Armstrongs served in Burma and India for over 40 years. Throughout, they promoted literacy at such stations as Chicacole (Srikakulam) in India, where they had schools for both girls and boys. From this one station alone they ranged out to cover some 4,000 villages and towns. Hannah’s linguistic studies included not only Karen dialects but also Burmese, Tamil, Telugu, and Hindustani, and she published articles and books she had translated from these languages. Her letters home appeared in such journals as the Christian Messenger, Tidings, the Canadian Missionary Link, and the Missionary Review of the World. In her last years she travelled widely to raise funds for a multinational school in Rangoon.
Maria returned to Canada only after William’s death in 1918, and she died the following year in Toronto. Her legacy was by no means small. One of a number of capable, educated women at the forefront of organizational drives for foreign missions in Canada, she had been the moving cause prompting Maritime Baptists to enter the mission field. The woman’s missionary aid societies became centralized in 1871 and later, in 1884, formed the Woman’s Baptist Missionary Union of the Maritime Provinces, which has continued to the present day. Maria herself had been the emissary for women who, too busy at home and curtailed by resources or convention, could none the less meet weekly to learn of women engaged in mission work overseas, communicate with them through published media and extensive correspondence, and experience vicariously participation in evangelical service. Maria Norris Armstrong showed that even within the bounds of later Victorian Canadian social and religious conservatism women could prepare the way for a more liberal society willing to accept a much wider role for them and their daughters.

Johnny Issaluk, Cultural Educator, Inuit Guide
www.qaggiavuut.ca/en/artist-world/johnny-issaluk
Johnny Issaluk is originally from a small arctic hamlet on the coast of Hudson’s Bay in Nunavut called Igluligaarjuk (known as Chesterfield Inlet). His natural acting talent coupled with an impressive physical stature, exceptional athleticism and traditional Inuit hunting and survival skills have led to a series of film and theatre roles for Johnny, most recently including critically acclaimed 'The Breathing Hole' at the Stratford Festival (2017).
Johnny engages deeply with volunteerism and has also served professionally as the Executive Director of the Embrace Life Council; a non-profit organization that endeavours to serve Nunavummiut through suicide prevention, providing support and counseling to residential school survivors and delivering the engaging Inuusivut program teaching photography and filmography to youth.
In 2013 Johnny was awarded the Diamond Jubilee Medal Award, which celebrates the contributions and achievements of Canadians who have dedicated themselves to serving their fellow citizens, their communities and their country.
As an athlete Johnny has been practicing, competing, performing, coaching and teaching Inuit Games for more than 20 years. Johnny’s athletic career has yielded more than 200 medal finishes in regional and national competitions and has culminated in his status as one of the most successful Inuit Games athletes of his generation.
Recently, he competed at the first ever Beringia Arctic Games, in Chukotka, Russia where he was awarded three gold medals. He is one of the most successful Inuit Games athletes of his generation. Johnny is a recipient of the Diamond Jubilee Medal, and one of the first sixty Canadians to receive the honour. Johnny was recognized for his ongoing contribution to the health and wellbeing of Nunavummiut.

JOHNNY ISSALUK
Johnny Issaluk is from the small arctic hamlet Igluligaarjuk (also known as Chesterfield Inlet), on the coast of Hudson’s Bay in Nunavut. He grew up traditionally, out on the land, hunting, fishing and camping with his elders, as Inuit have for centuries. Traditional life was juxtaposed with conventional education through Residential Secondary School and Nunavut Arctic College in tourism, guiding and environmental technology.
Johnny works with various organizations that address mental health, suicide prevention and healing through counseling and traditional activities. Johnny is also developing a small consulting business, Nurraq Outfitting, which involves public speaking, motivational counseling, land trips, arctic sports demonstrations and all manner of activities that grab his interest.
Among those many interests Johnny is a keen volunteer and youth mentor, teaching arctic games and traditional activities at a local daycare and coaching arctic sports at a local gym are regular appointments for him. One of the youth projects closest to Johnny’s heart is the internationally renowned educational program “Students on Ice” where he has worked with youth from all over the world as an arctic ambassador and spokesman for arctic stewardship.
Kajutaijuq, is a short film that is part of Inuit legend and part thriller. A hunter attempts to survive in the Arctic wilderness by following teachings passed on to him by his late grandfather. It premiered at the Tiff 2014 and is Johnny’s first dramatic acting role.
Johnny has five children, and lives with his wife a son and a dog in Iqaluit, Nunavut.
Latest Film: FALLS AROUND HER
Stars: Tantoo Cardinal, Lewis Hodgson, Johnny Issaluk
Falls Around Her is a Canadian drama film, directed by Darlene Naponse and released in 2018. The film stars Tantoo Cardinal as Mary Birchbark, an internationally famous First Nations musician who returns to her home community to recharge and reevaluate her life, only to find that her fame is not so easily left behind.
The cast also includes Tina Keeper, Gail Maurice, Johnny Issaluk and J.D. Nicholsen. The film was shot on the Atikameksheng Anishnawbek First Nation reserve near Sudbury, Ontario.
Despite Cardinal's long and distinguished career as an actress, Falls Around Her was her first-ever starring role as the main protagonist in a film.
The film premiered at the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival in September 2018. It subsequently screened as the opening gala of the imagineNATIVE Film + Media Arts Festival in October, where it won the Air Canada Audience Choice Award.
FALLS AROUND HER is a true Northern Ontario and Anishinaabe First Nation film that celebrates the winter of Canada as seen in the landscapes of lake, forests and rivers. The film stars Tantoo Cardinal shining as a world-famous Anishinaabe musician (there is a shot her singing at the stat of the tim – showing some good original music) who returns to the reserve to rest and recharge — only to discover that fame (and the outside world) are not easily left behind.
Her sister Betty (Tina Keeper) senses there may be more to Mary’s need for isolation and urges her to reconnect with family and old friends. As Mary gets out more and even starts dating, it seems as though new possibilities are on the horizon. She has demons to rid off which includes her past manager who is quite the woman abuser, though he gets what he deserves in the end as the film shifts uncomfortably towards horror slasher mode.
Barbara Sizemore, the superintendent of District of Columbia schools 1973-75, is shown in a photograph circa 1970.
She was the first black woman to head a major school system in the U.S.
Ahead of her time, she vehemently opposed the standardized tests during her tenure in Washington, D.C., finding them bias against black students.
The ongoing fight over testing ultimately resulted in her controversial termination as head of the District’s schools by the school board.
After leaving Washington, Sizemore taught at the University of Pittsburgh where she conducted research on schools that served low-income African-American children. In 1992, she assumed a professorship at DePaul University in Chicago.
Standardized tests had become ingrained in the U.S. so as dean of the School of Education, she created her School Achievement Structure (SAS) program.
SAS was designed to enable black students to compete successfully on any standardized exam. Sizemore now argued that integrating SAS into a school’s curriculum would help low-achieving schools in Chicago become high performers. The program is used in many school districts around the country.
Sizemore served as Professor Emerita at DePaul University. She earned a Ph.D. in educational administration from the University of Chicago as well as four honorary doctorate degrees. She was a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, the Urban League, NAACP and Phi Delta Kappa.
In the last years of her life, she advised the Chicago public school system and continued to write and speak on educational issues.
Sizemore died from cancer in June of 2004.

Apapamo Malola, peer educator
The Global Fund / John Rae
Educating Youth on HIV in Nigeria
Apapamo had her heart set on working in a bank until she discovered her true vocation of counseling young people about HIV. That service is not widely available in her home state and she dreams of being the one to make it happen.
Apapamo is one among many youths now equipped with the tools to fight the spread of HIV. She’s been trained in HIV awareness thanks to a Global Fund-financed program that’s reached nearly 30,000 youngsters throughout the country.
All university graduates in Nigeria are mobilized for community service in states far from their home. The program – known as the National Youth Service Corps - helps cross-cultural understanding. The year-long placement tends to be in the police, army, security service or in education.
All participants attend an orientation camp of around a week. A day-long training – financed through the Global Fund – is given about reproductive health and HIV prevention. Those who wish can volunteer to undergo extra training in order to share that awareness by becoming peer educators.
In Nigeria it is still taboo for parents to discuss sex with their children. That’s why it’s important for youth to be able to counsel each other on the facts of life.
Apapamo found a sense of purpose at the National Youth Service Corps camp.
“Before the training I thought I was going to camp to enjoy myself. I didn’t want to be involved in any activity, just to be away from home, a time to learn about other peoples’ cultures, just enjoy myself. Then I got to camp and I saw this and I said ‘yes I want to do this’ and I volunteered to be part of that project.”
Apapamo trained as a Peer Educator Trainer. She now gives advice to young girls at the school she’s stationed in and, in addition, she trains them to take the message further into the community as peer educators.
Listen to Apapamo describe what she says when she counsels girls and her dream of bringing peer education to those who don’t have it back home:
