Canadians have worked in very diverse work-spaces throughout the 20th century. This photographic exhibition gives the viewer a closer look at these spaces and, more importantly, offers a perspective on the ordinary people who work within them. These people were not selected because of their fame or name, but for the ways in which they are representative of Canada and its economy, whether they are at work outdoors, underground, in a factory or in the home. These photographs were produced for many reasons : as a tool of communication; as a means for the government to promote and administer its programs; as a way for industry to advertise its achievements and thereby demonstrate corporate pride; to enable ordinary citizens to produce an historical and cultural record of a subject of personal importance to them. 1, record 3, English, - On%20the%20Job%20%2D%20A%20Century%20of%20Canadians%20at%20Work

Les Canadiens ont travaillé dans des lieux très diversifiés au cours du XXe siècle. Cette exposition de photographies permet de se familiariser avec ces lieux et, surtout, met en valeur les gens qui y ont travaillé. Ces gens n'ont pas été choisis en raison de leur célébrité, mais bien parce qu'ils sont représentatifs du Canada et de son économie, et ce, qu'ils travaillent en plein air, sous terre, en usine ou à la maison. Ces photographies ont été produites pour de nombreuses raisons : comme outil de communication; comme moyen pour le gouvernement de promouvoir et d'administrer ses programmes; comme façon pour l'industrie de mettre en valeur ses réalisations et d'afficher sa fierté; pour permettre aux citoyens de produire un document historique et culturel sur un sujet important à leurs yeux. 1, record 3, French, - Au%20boulot%21%20%2D%20Un%20si%C3%A8cle%20de%20travail%20au%20Canada

The committee is committed to pursuing social justice issues from a union perspective in this community. To this end, it recognizes that affirmative action to correct historical injustices is not only heartily endorsed and embraced but must be understood by all. Further, sexism in any form will not be tolerated. While the primary focus of the committee's activities may be on men and issues particular to men, meetings are open to all. The committee will assist men to understand their issues and to find the support they need in times of crisis and distress and provide education to Alliance members and the general public on issues facing men in a changing society. 1, record 4, English, - The%20Men%26rsquo%3Bs%20Action%20Support%20Committee

Le comité entend approfondir, d'un point de vue syndical, des questions de justice sociale dans la collectivité. À cette fin, il reconnaît que l'action positive visant à réparer des injustices historiques est un principe qu'il ne suffit pas de défendre sans réserve, mais qu'il faut aussi amener tout le monde à comprendre. Par ailleurs, quelle que soit la forme sous laquelle il se présente, le sexisme ne sera pas toléré. Même si les travaux du comité porteront principalement sur les hommes et les problèmes qui leur sont propres, les réunions sont ouvertes aux hommes et aux femmes. Le comité aidera les hommes à comprendre la source de leurs difficultés et à trouver le soutien dont ils ont besoin en période de crise et de détresse et offrira en outre de la formation aux membres de l'Alliance et à la population en général sur les problèmes auxquels sont confrontés les hommes dans une société en évolution. 1, record 4, French, - Le%20comit%C3%A9%20de%20soutien%20%C3%A0%20l%27action%20des%20hommes
