Call for nominations

Status of Women Canada has
announced the call for
nominations for the 22"4 annual
Governor General's Awards in
Commemoration of the Persons
Case. The awards were instituted
by the Governor General in 1979
to honour the 50th anniversary of
the Persons case and the five
Alberta women whose determina-
tion led to a landmark victory in
the struggle of Canadian women
for equality. Recipients of these
awards continue the tradition of
courage, integrity and hard work
which the famous five of the
Persons case inspired. Their
effectiveness and courage has
advanced the cause of equality
for girls and women in significant
and substantial ways that have
enriched their communities.

To be eligible for nomination,
candidates must be Canadian
citizens over 25 years of age.
Youth award nominees are ages
15-25 years. Deadline for
nominations is May 15, 2001.

Trumpeting a
new career

Jazz Studies instructor,
Brad Turner, is packing up his
Junos and taking a one-year
leave so that he can play more
concerts and concentrate
on composition. His jazz
quartet was recently

nominated for a Juno for ff
its Live at the Cellar disc. |
His award-winning electric |
band, Metalwood, was

also up for more accolades.
As a composer, Brad has made
big waves. Vancouver's Hard
Rubber Orchestra, arguably the
best jazz orchestra to emerge
from this city, played a program
of his tunes recently at the
Vancouver East Cultural Centre.
The College hopes to see Brad
return to his teaching position
at the end of his sabbatical, yet
at the same time, wishes him
continued and growing success
in his independent music career!
