January 11-22, 2023 - CBC doesn't seem to promote men's Hockey like the AHL, ECHL, or University level hockey ? And Canada has just won both Golds at the recent 2023 international University Hockey FISU tournament. But the Gold medal final games, in fact the whole tournament, was not telecast by the CBC ? www.flickr.com/photos/74039487@N02/52640201721/in/datepos...
Halifax, Canada Jan 2023 - This time around the IIHF men's World Juniors hockey tournament is being held in Canada. No games were shown on CBC, and many Canadians were unable to watch Canada's finest male Junior hockey players incl Connor Badard play in their home Country and win the Gold for Canada ?
However, although CBC ignored and failed to televise any of the IIHF men's junior hockey games played, they were sure to make daily news reports and give loads of air time focused on an alleged past scandal involving a previous men's IIHF Junior hockey team ? cbc.radio-canada.ca/en/media-centre/official-broadcaster-...
New Women's Pro Hockey PWHL - CBC giving support, full coverage, and giving the girls massive air time, TV ads, coast to coast live broadcasts, player bios and a game each week complete with hosting and analysis,, "CBC/Radio-Canada is the official broadcaster of the Professional Women's Hockey League"
However, CBC appears to show a different attitude when it comes to supporting or televising many of the pro sporting events played by male gender athletes such as Grey Cup, FIFA, Copa America international men's soccer football and men's IIHF World Juniors, and so a large Canadian fan base was unable to watch pro athletes like Acadia Axemen footballer Bailey Feltmate in the Grey Cup, or Nova Scotia's Jacob Shaffelburg in the Copa international Men's soccer tournament or Connor Badard in the IIHF World Men's Juniors hockey tournament ?

Bell media is a proud Canadian Company ? It's Super Bowl LVIII time in Las Vegas Nevada USA. Prior to the big game CTV has already been flooding the North American airways with ads promoting their full TV coverage of the upcoming American Superbowl and they do broadcast 10 straight hours of uninterrupted prime time live T.V. coverage of this American event on Superbowl Sunday 2024 ? However, on the other hand, back home in their home country of Canada, they don't broadcast anything at all, nothing (zero) blanco, zilch, silencio, not even 1 minute of TV coverage of their own 2024 Canadian Grey Cup game for their fellow Canadians to enjoy ? www.flickr.com/photos/74039487@N02/53523500175/in/datepos...
Feb 2024 - Halifax Nova Scotia,
Bell media and CTV have deafened and blindfolded East Coast residents when eliminating many critical hours of local and community news programming in the Atlantic region ?
East Coast Provinces have been the target of Bell Canada Corporate decisions to cancel many prime time hours of local News ? This will leave Maritimers in a weakened and vulnerable position without their critical daily Noon news updates that are always broadcast at the noon hour all week long ? These viewers will now be forced to tune into the other station (CBC) where CBC tends to run world international news along with their own select choice of the Provincial News, along with lengthy news conferences put on by the PM or other liberal party members ?
Aside from terminating the popular weekday ATV Noon hour news show, CTV has also downsized in half the very popular and iconic , 'ATV live at five' 5 P.M. local community news program, (prompting long time popular host Jason Baxter to seek early retirement) ? To add to the devastating loss of so much important news reporting time each and every week, Bell is also terminating all of the weekend Saturday and Sunday local news reporting that is currently running on ATV ? This sudden cancellation of all weekend local news will surely threaten the safety and security of Easi Coast residents especially now that there will be a 24 hour total local news blackout for 2 full days each and every weekend and even for as much as 3 consecutive days every holiday long weekend ? It seems that arch rival CBC has now taken over major share of prime time live local news programming in the Maritimes ? Meanwhile, Bell Canada is blaming the Liberal Government's new Bill C-18 for having to slash so many prime time hours of news coverage in the Maritimes ?

Is this a CBC Stanley Cup cruel joke ? June 2nd, 2024 Edmonton ? Fans are upset after CBC had broadcast the first 5 games of the Men's NHL Dallas vs Oilers series, and then, without warning and for no logical reason, CBC blacked out the critical and most important climactic final game that saw Edmonton win and gain entry into the Stanley Cup finals ? It remains unclear why CBC would do this ? Was it arrogance, or was it to be mean spirited, or was it a gender bias issue due to this being Men's pro hockey, or was it maybe a lesson given out to remind Canadians just who is running this Countries main media and who controls the programming ? www.google.com/url?sa=i&source=web&rct=j&url=...

In support of The Rotary Club of Richmond, several businesses and organizations sponsored a beautiful tree for Christmas, as part of the City of Richmond's Winter Wonderland.
The Wilson School of Design was thrilled to be able to support this worthy cause. The 'elves' (students and faculty) from the Product Design program took on the challenge of decorating our tree with something unique and memorable.
They did just that! They designed a KPU-themed 'hoodie' for their tree and custom-designed and produced a very original product. To complete the tree, the team incorporated a variety of items used as decorations, that have been innovative products designed over the years. This certainly was what we would call, "the best-dressed tree" on the block!

The LEGO Foundation and UNICEF support conflict-affected children in Iraq through play
Baghdad, 16 December 2015 – UNICEF Iraq received a contribution from the LEGO Foundation that will help give around 50,000 children in Iraq a chance to play and learn. The organizations welcomed the contribution of 4,800 boxes containing LEGO play materials. The donation is part of the three-year global partnership between UNICEF and the LEGO Foundation signed in early 2015. Through the partnership, the two organizations promote quality early learning through play for children around the world. While play helps children address stress, it also performs a critical role in the development of the intellectual, emotional, social and creative skills needed to build the foundation for human development and lifelong learning.
Iraq has seen decades of conflict. Currently, nearly 3 million children have had their education disrupted, and nearly 1 million are internally displaced. Furthermore, over 100,000 Syrian children have taken refuge in Iraq.
Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General for Iraq (SRSG), Mr. Ján Kubiš, reaffirmed the United Nations’ commitment to children. “Many Iraqi children bear emotional scars from the violence around them, but it is those rendered homeless by conflict who suffer the heaviest consequences. Millions of children, in camps for displaced people and refugees as well as those in host communities have limited or no access to education or recreational activities. It is with their predicament in mind that UNAMI and UNICEF called on LEGO for assistance to extend children affected by the crisis in Iraq with a combination of study and play in the form of creative toys, which might be the first for many of them since they lost their homes and possessions. The donation from LEGO Foundation should be a reminder to Iraqi politicians of the responsibility they share for the future generations, who deserve to live a life of peace and normalcy.”
Generations of children in Iraq have grown up in the midst of conflict, and have witnessed unimaginable acts of extreme violence and have been displaced from their homes and communities. Some children have been displaced multiple times as conflict reaches their new homes. “The opportunity given by the LEGO Foundation should also be used to call for more support to humanitarian programmes, particularly child protection,” Kubiš added.
Representing UNAMI at the delivery ceremony in Baghdad, Deputy Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Iraq, Gyorgy Busztin appealed to the Iraqi politicians to think about the children of Iraq as they “are the hardest hit by violence and lack of stability. Their fate needs to be the responsibility of all decision makers. We want for them a happy future, away from violence, conflict and displacement in a country that provides equal rights to all its men, women and children. We want national reconciliation for Iraq that will give back to the children of Iraq what they were deprived of, play, learning and happiness, in other words a full childhood. The LEGO toys will teach them to build so that in the future they will be able to reconstruct their villages and towns ruined by terrorism. They will prove that building is superior to destruction” added DSRSG Busztin.
“The negative impact of this crisis on children cannot be over-emphasized,” said Peter Hawkins, UNICEF Representative in Iraq. “Continuing violence has cheated millions of children of their fundamental rights to safety, education and play. Many children have come into this world and grown up knowing only displacement and conflict. The donation from the LEGO Foundation is one positive step forward, allowing some of the most disadvantaged children to play and learn in a fun and safe environment and become the next generation to build a better future for Iraq.”
“Play is the most effective and inspiring way for children to acquire the skills needed to create new possibilities and meet the many challenges of the future. In the midst of violence and instability, playing and education can help to alleviate trauma for conflict-affected children,” said Mirjam Schöning, Global Head of Programmes and Partnerships at the LEGO Foundation. “Through play, children can address stress and develop physical, intellectual and social skills, as well as creativity. Together with UNICEF, we work to put a stake in the ground for children and their development through quality play-based learning.”
The LEGO play materials will be distributed to 538 schools, 46 community centres and 8 child-friendly spaces across Iraq, giving over 50,000 children access to learning activities. The LEGO Foundation and UNICEF will provide training to build the capacity of teachers, facilitators and community members who will then guide children through LEGO activities as part of the initiative.
