This program dates to the 1993 general election, when Elections Canada set up polling stations on a certain number of reserves across the country. The main objective of the program is to provide interpretation and identification services to electors in the community and to reassure Aboriginal electors who are not familiar with the election process. Since 1997, the program has included Inuit and Métis communities. Youth from the community have joined elders to provide interpretation and identification services to electors. 1, record 1, English, - Aboriginal%20Elders%20and%20Youth%20Program

Ce programme remonte à l'élection générale de 1993 alors qu'Élections Canada le mettait en œuvre sur les lieux des bureaux de scrutin d'un certain nombre de réserves à travers le pays. L'objectif principal du programme consiste à fournir des services d'interprétation et d'identification aux électeurs de la collectivité et de rassurer les électeurs autochtones qui ne connaissent pas bien le processus électoral. Depuis 1997, le programme inclut les collectivités inuites et métisses et les jeunes de la collectivité se sont joints aux aînés pour fournir les services d'interprétation et d'identification aux électeurs. 1, record 1, French, - Programme%20des%20jeunes%20et%20des%20a%C3%AEn%C3%A9s%20autochtones

The present Statutory Framework of the World Network of Biosphere Reserves has been formulated with the objectives of enhancing the effectiveness of individual biosphere reserves and strengthening common understanding, communication and co-operation at regional and international levels. This Statutory Framework is intended to contribute to the widespread recognition of biosphere reserves and to encourage and promote good working examples. The delisting procedure foreseen should be considered as an exception to this basically positive approach, and should be applied only after careful examination, paying due respect to the cultural and socio-economic situation of the country, and after consulting the government concerned. 3, record 4, English, - Statutory%20Framework%20of%20the%20World%20Network%20of%20Biosphere%20Reserves

Le Cadre statutaire du Réseau mondial de réserves de la biosphère de l'UNESCO exige maintenant que chaque réserve de la biosphère fasse l'objet d'un examen tous les dix ans, pour déterminer si elle continue de répondre aux critères statutaires régissant l'inscription au réseau mondial et pour actualiser l'information sur la réserve et les activités qui s'y déroulent. Le Cadre statutaire lui-même repose sur une revue des 25 années d'expérience accumulées à l'égard des réserves de la biosphère. L'UNESCO mène ces examens selon un calendrier graduel, en demandant d'abord l'examen des réserves approuvées durant les années 1970, et ensuite celui des réserves désignées dans les années 1980. Il existe un formulaire spécial d'examen périodique, fort semblable au plus récent formulaire de proposition. Cela signifie habituellement qu'il faut rassembler beaucoup de nouvelles informations, puisque les anciens formulaires de proposition en exigeaient considérablement moins. 1, record 4, French, - Cadre%20statutaire%20du%20R%C3%A9seau%20mondial%20de%20r%C3%A9serves%20de%20la%20biosph%C3%A8re
