    The Centre for Research on French canadian culture (Centre de recherche en civilisationcanadiennefrançaise or CRCCF) of the University of Ottawa was founded  
    http://www.uottawa.ca/academic/crccf/presentation/overview.html
    
    Extractions: Plan du site One of the Centre's main objectives is the promotion of research on all aspects of French Canadian culture. From its initial focus on literature, the Centre's orientation and activities have gradually broadened to include all the humanities and social sciences: history, sociology, economics, translation, political science, women's studies, communication, music, education, linguistics, visual arts, etc. A number of specialized, quality publications on French Canada are produced by the Centre. Among these works, published by various editors, there are essays, critical editions, biographies, textbooks, symposia proceedings and finding aids. The Centre's achievements have given it an international reputation. Many researchers from throughout the world have approached the Centre to obtain information and to sollicit its collaboration. The Centre maintains regular contacts with other research groups and cultural associations that share the same goals. Archives are truly the collective memory of a society. The Centre for Research on French Canadian Culture holds more than 1.6 linear kilometres of documents, of which an important part is related to Franco-Ontarians. Most of the major Franco-Ontarian associations entrust their archives to the Centre, as well as a growing number of individuals who are aware of the value of personal documents for our collective heritage.

    Extractions: SITE DIRECTORY ( ENGLISH ) Study at VEC Course Fees Admissions Centre ... VEC StudentWeb Canadian Culture Canadians come from many different racial and religious backgrounds. Consequently, it is not easy to define a typical Canadian family. Although the majority of Canadians are Catholic or Protestant, many belong to other religions. Some cultural characteristics, however, are shared by most Canadians. It is customary to shake hands when being introduced. It is not usually considered objectionable to lightly touch someone on the shoulder or elbow during a discussion. Most Canadians do not often kiss or hug when greeting friends. In Canada, people use their given name first and their surname (family name) last. If you meet someone older than you for the first time, you should probably not use the person's first name. It is safer to use the surname, preceded by a courtesy title such as: Ms., Mrs., Mr., or Dr. Formal Greeting to a Stranger: "Hello Mr. Martin. I am very pleased to meet you. My name is Yuri."

    Extractions: Rhode Island's connection to France and French culture dates to 1524 when French explorer Giovanni de Verrazano explored the area around Block Island and Newport. By the end of the seventeenth century, French colonies in the new world extended from the St. Lawrence River to the mouth of the Mississippi River. These colonies prospered by trading timber, furs and fish. After the English defeated the French in the French-Indian War in 1763, "'la survivance" - the perpetuation of French language and culture - became a major priority for the French population in the new world. Woonsocket had its first contact with French culture in the late eighteenth century when the Ballous and Tourtellots, French Huguenot families, settled in the area. The Ballous, especially Dexter and George , were pioneers in Woonsocket's textile industry. As the textile industry in Woonsocket grew, so did the need for mill workers. The first French-Canadian families were recruited from Quebec to work in the mills of Woonsocket in the 1840's. Once started, this migration would continue for almost a century. The life of the French-Canadians in Quebec was largely agrarian. It was a system where each household grew, produced or bartered for everything the family needed to survive. As the population grew and family farms could no longer support succeeding generations, many left behind this self-sufficient life style for one based on wage labor in the mills. Eventually, one third of Quebec's population left Canada for mill villages in New England where they gathered in close-knit ethnic communities. By 1900, sixty percent of Woonsocket's population was French-Canadian and Woonsocket was the most French city in the United States.

    Extractions: Media and Canadian Cultural Policies - Introduction Our country is unique among nations. The Canadian cultural experiment has attempted to forge a national culture based...not on the erasure of all remaining facets of difference, but on coexistence and co-operation, on consensus and multiplicity. The Ties That Bind , The Report of the and Communications, 1992 Canada is one of the most geographically vast and culturally diverse countries in the world. Its enormous land mass is home to numerous Aboriginal and Inuit peoples, the descendents of early European settlers, and new Canadians from all over the world. The unique contribution of English and French settlers has created a strong tradition of bilingualism, and our major centres, like Toronto and Vancouver, are among the most ethnically diverse cities in the world. This section provides a comprehensive overview of the government and industry initiatives undertaken to protect and promote Canadian culture in the interest of Canadians, and to ensure a domestic, as well as an international, market for Canadian cultural products.

    http://collections.ic.gc.ca/heirloom_series/volume4/238-239.htm
    
    Extractions: Dramatizing Canadian Culture John Hugh MacLennan, a five-time winner of Canada’s prestigious Governor General’s Literary Award, contributed immensely to the creation of a distinct Canadian literature. His outstanding literary talents secured for him national and international acclaim before his death on November 9, 1990. Although MacLennan regarded Halifax as his home town, he was born in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, a Cape Breton coastal community dominated, for many years, by the coal-mining industry. When he was seven years old, MacLennan moved with his family to Halifax. On the morning of December 6, 1917 he witnessed, as a ten-year-old boy, the Halifax explosion caused by the collision of a Belgian relief ship and a French munitions vessel. This explosion, estimated to have been the world’s worst before the dropping of the nuclear bomb on Hiroshima, Japan, in August 1945, left an indelible impression on young MacLennan. No wonder! Sixteen hundred Haligonians died in the explosion, nine thousand were injured, and more than 25,000 lost their homes or encountered major difficulties as a result of property damage. The explosion occurred at 8.45 A.M. Since classes in Halifax schools did not begin in those days until 9.30 A.M., MacLennan, was still at home and thus escaped death or injuries he might have suffered had he been in school.

    Extractions: Telefilm Canada Canadian culture is the combination of our stories in poetry, prose and song. It is our stories and our heritage that project who we are to ourselves and to the world. Our government has taken initiatives to cultivate and protect Canada's culture and arts but we must do more. We must support these initiatives and make them a priority just as we make healthcare and education priorities. Our culture defines who we are and in a global economy where countries have become interdependent economically it is necessary for us to distinguish ourselves as Canadian and be proud of it. As a member of the Senate, my general mandate is to attend to the country's business. The special mission that I have given myself is to champion the diverse culture and heritage of Canada. I want to promote the development of quality Canadian cultural content and ensure all Canadians have access to this content. To further this mission, I accepted my nomination as Chair of the National Advisory Board of Canadian Culture Online , "a funding program of the Department of Canadian Heritage. Our goal is to stimulate the development of, and access to, quality Canadian cultural content on the Internet in both official languages.
