Relief, Occupations and the Haiti Crisis: Canada/US policy and the regional response A public forum with with Justin Podur and Dan Freeman-Maloy.
On January 12, Haiti was hit with an earthquake 7.0 on the Richter scale, leaving possibly 200,000 dead and 3 million affected. Much of Port-au-Prince, Haiti's capital, is now living in makeshift camps with their water, food, and health at risk. While many countries around the world responded with aid, the US and Canada also quickly deployed troops. This talk will discuss current events and press coverage in the context of the past decade of Western policy towards Haiti, as well as the prospects for constructive relief and solidarity work.
Justin Podur is Assistant Professor of Environmental Studies at York University and a member of the Pueblos en Camino Collective. He visited Haiti in 2005 to study the UN occupation and the government after the 2004 coup.
Dan Freeman-Maloy is a Toronto-based activist and writer. He studied Canadian media coverage of the 2004 Haiti coup and has written for ZNet and other publications.

Celebrating the 5th Anniversary of Non-Violent Resistance in Bil'in in the West Bank Since 2005, the people of Bil'in, a farming village in the West Bank, have been demonstrating non-violently against the ever-expanding illegal Israeli settlements and the separation wall which encroaches on and divides their land. The village has organized weekly protests with active participation from both Israeli and international peace activists and has become an internationally celebrated symbol of non-violent resistance. The Israeli occupation forces have been trying to destroy the resistance with a series of night raids targeting the leaders of the village, as well as ordinary residents as young as 14 years old. One of the people arrested, Abdallah Abu Rahmah, a schoolteacher from Bil'in wrote from his prison: No army, no prison and no wall can stop us. We will be there in solidarity with the people of Bil'in and the Palestinian people in their quest for human dignity and self-determination- Palestinians, Jews and others. We say as well we refuse to be enemies. February 5th 2010 marks the 5th anniversary of the non-violent action in Bil'in and we will be celebrating this on that day by having a lively action in front of the Israeli consulate at 180 Bloor St W. From 5 to 6pm.

FilKONtario What is Filk? . . . A subject of some argument: ongoing, loud and opinionated argument at that. The easy answer is that it is science fiction folk music, which may explain nothing! Okay, so it's music based on themes in science fiction and/or fantasy writing; or on the space program, modern technology, computers, cats, food... or just about any subject people in SF fandom like to talk about. It's also primarily "folk"-ish in style: mostly the lyrics are important and have something to say that is worth hearing. But the musical style may be anything from "trad" to last week's top of the chart. Not surprisingly, there is a strong influence of popular music. In Southern Ontario the quality of filk thus far is pretty high and we're proud of our local filk community, aka UFO.

6th Global Investigative Journalism Conference Like our brilliant colleagues in Lillehammer, we are aiming for a hundred panels, workshops, roundtables and plenary conferences. We are going to place a focus on the financial and economic crisis and some famous panelists, familiar with the obscure matter of hedge funds and tax havens, have already accepted to be amongst us in 2010. The investigation in sport stories is also going to be a focus, as we will be just a few months from the football World Cup in South Africa. We are going to take advantage of the fact that major sport organisations have their headquarters in Switzerland, to focus our attention on this sometimes secretive world. Finally, with many being based in Geneva, we will undoubtedly devote time and attention to international organisations, and namely in the most controversial investigative fields such as human rights and environment. During this Conference, we are also going to dedicate more room to investigation in television and the net. In addition, as the crisis is hitting all of us very hard, we think it is going to be a must to offer state of the art panels devoted to new business models in investigative journalism, and a few panels to media executives, as many of us are becoming our own boss!

The Stan Rogers Folk Festival It's not often that the memory of one man can motivate an entire town to come together and build on a dream. But Stan was no ordinary guy - his commanding baritone voice and his incredible legacy as a songwriting craftsman, have been etched within the Canadian and Maritime landscape - and within the memories of legions of fans - old and new. In his all-too-brief lifetime, Stan managed to influence a whole generation of performers, while contributing to the emerging popularity of the East Coast Music scene. Stan wasn't born a Maritimer - yet the Ontario-based songwriter's family ties - and his love for the people and places of Nova Scotia's Northeastern Shore, made him a frequent visitor to Canso and Guysborough County. These visits inspired Stan to write songs like The Jeannie C., Guysborough Train and Fogarty's Cove - and they also earned Stan a place in the local folklore of the town and the region. Some of the finest songwriters and performers in North America gather at this festival, to celebrate Stan's lasting contributions to folk music. A new generation of powerful songwriters also come together with Stan's family members, friends and associates not just to share remembrances - but to create new songs and stories.

Ness Creek Music Festival Mission Statement The Ness Creek Cultural & Recreational Society is a not-for-profit organization that exists primarily to create an annual Festival to celebrate Music, Arts, Community and Ecology in the boreal forest. Mandate To meet our Mission Statement: "We support and encourage Canadian arts; we provide an audience for upcoming Saskatchewan artists by maintaining a minimum 50% ratio of Saskatchewan talent; we support our youth; we promote our Festival, our organization and its goals; we support community development; we support Cross-Cultural awareness and growth; and we support the Saskatchewan north." History The Ness Creek Music Festival was built on the legacy of a smaller event called "The Ecological Fair" which was held in 1989 and 1990 near the current Festival site. These were small gatherings that featured ecological workshops and displays, and a small evening stage featuring local musicians. In 1991 the first Ness Creek Music Festival was held in its current location. What began as a Friday/Saturday Festival with 7 bands and 200 people steadily grew over the years to include a variety of events that take place over 4 days, filled with over 20 Main Stage performances, Workshop stage, Eco-Village, Community Kitchen, Children's Area, Drum and Dance Circle, Community Sharing Circle, Chill Tent and over 2700 attendees. The Festival's current audience is an even mix of urban and rural, young and old. The Ness Creek Cultural & Recreational Society is a volunteer run organization.

Folk on the Rocks Festival Folk on the Rocks has come a long way since founder Rod Russell and his band of folkie go-getters re-booted a small outdoor gig on the shores of Frame Lake, and transported it over to long Lake in the summer in 1980. The two-day weekend event (plus the Friday opening gala Warm the Rocks) has grown into one of Canada's top summertime music and cultural festivals, drawing musicians from the NWT and Nunavut and across the globe for the North's biggest party under the midnight sun.

Stewart Park Festival Heritage Perth has majestic stone buildings, beautiful parks and superb shopping and entertainment. Downtown Heritage Perth has over seventy fine restaurants and great shops all within five square blocks. Explore the unique gift stores, antique shops and galleries with work by local artisans or take a break and relax on an outdoor patio. Perth is in Eastern Ontario in the middle of beautiful countryside and hundreds of lakes. Perth has a strong agricultural history and is located in Lanark County, the Maple Syrup capital of Ontario. Perth was established in 1816 as a strategic defensive outpost in the Rideau corridor after the War of mexis.jpg1812. Perth became the social, judicial and administrative capital of the region. Industrial booms punctuate its history, and evidence of this can be seen in architecture - from converted 19th century mills and factories to the Victorian shop fronts of downtown and the grand homes complementing tree-lined boulevards. In 2004, Perth was the proud recipient of the Prince of Wales Award a national heritage award for architecture preservation. In recent times, Perth has shifted from an industrial based economy to one rooted in heritage and cultural tourism. Perth has retained its small-town friendliness and rural charm despite being located within commuting distance of both Ottawa and Kingston. Perth is famous for its relaxed atmosphere and its motto is "Make Haste Slowly". The enthusiasm of the community shows itself in the active service clubs and the number of high quality annual festivals and year round cultural events.
