The Labourer-Teacher program(L-T for short) is the original literacy program of Frontier College. We recruit, train and send Labourer-Teachers to work and teach across Canada. Currently Labourer-Teachers are placed primarily in agricultural settings : on farms and in processing plants. They have also worked on rail gangs, in lumber and mining camps, in prisons, in urban factories and in remote communities. Wherever they are, Labourer-Teachers do the same heavy labour jobs as other workers. In peak season, this can mean 12 hours per day, 6-7 days per week. For this work, Labourer-Teachers are paid the same as their co-workers-usually minimum wage. In addition to this physical work, Labourer-Teachers volunteer their time to provide educational and recreational opportunities for their co-workers. These activities are determined by the interests of people in their workplace. 1, record 4, English, - Labourer%2DTeacher%20program

February 15 is National Flag of Canada Day. It marks the day in 1965 when our red and white maple leaf flag was first raised over Parliament Hill in Ottawa, and in hundreds of communities from coast to coast. This is a perfect opportunity to celebrate our flag and what it stands for-a country and a citizenship that are the envy of the world. In our often understated ways, be it instructing students in a school classroom, taking time to listen to the stories of veterans, or volunteering at the local community centre, Canadians share their pride in our flag and in their common values. In its striking simplicity, the National Flag of Canada speaks to the exciting challenges and opportunities of our future. At the same time, it speaks to all that we have accomplished together as a people and to those moments that have served to define us. The creation of our flag in 1965 was such a moment. 1, record 6, English, - National%20Flag%20of%20Canada%20Day

Le 15 février est le Jour du drapeau national du Canada. Cette date nous rappelle ce jour de 1965 où notre drapeau rouge et blanc arborant la feuille d'érable a été hissé pour la première fois sur la Colline du Parlement, à Ottawa, et dans des centaines de collectivités d'un océan à l'autre. Il s'agit d'une occasion unique de célébrer notre drapeau, et aussi ce qu'il représente : un pays et une citoyenneté qui font l'envie du monde entier. Que ce soit en enseignant à des élèves dans une salle de classe, en prenant le temps d'écouter les récits des anciens combattants, en faisant du bénévolat au centre communautaire local, les Canadiens et les Canadiennes partagent en toute simplicité leur fierté à l'égard du drapeau canadien et des valeurs communes. Dans sa simplicité remarquable, le drapeau national du Canada traduit bien les défis et les possibilités immenses de l'avenir. En même temps, il évoque tout ce que nous avons accompli ensemble comme peuple ainsi que les moments marquants de notre histoire. La création de notre drapeau en 1965 fut l'un des ces moments. 2, record 6, French, - Jour%20du%20drapeau%20national%20du%20Canada
