The work of the Branch has changed to meet its new mission. There is a new emphasis on innovation, and on taking the initiative to create new opportunities. There is also receptivity to the idea of responsible risk-taking.

The Link to Health program, a gentle fitness program for adultsover 55, began in 1969 as the "Fun and Fitness" program in Western Canada. In 1996, the Canadian Red Cross re-designed it to have a more holistic approach and renamed it Link to Health. It began as "Fun and Fitness" in the Toronto Region in 1991 and has grown and changed over the years to what it is today. Originally offered in nursing homes and senior's centers, Link to Health eventually moved to more accessible locations for seniors who live independently in their communities. It has always been the only program of its kind offered free of charge to participants. 1, record 4, English, - Link%20to%20Health

An airport located in Dorval, now a part of the city of Montréal, and used for private, local, national and international flights. The airport was first the "Dorval Airport, "from the name of the city in the suburbs of Montréal, then the "Dorval International Airport, "to become the airport for domestic flights, that is the flights limited to Canada, with the construction of the "Mirabel International Airport" inaugurated in 1975 and intended for international flights. But inadequate terrestrial links between Montréal and Mirabel contributed to give to the Montréal Dorval Airport("Montréal-Dorval") its international status, leaving the charter(up to Autumn 2004) and cargo flights to the Mirabel Airport("Montréal-Mirabel") ;political decisions for these ends were accompanied by important subsidies for the building of added accommodations to what has become the "Montréal Dorval International Airport. "With the amalgamation or merging of all the cities on the Île de Montréal, including the former cities of Montréal and of Dorval, to form the new city of Montréal on the 1 January 2002, the airport became the "Montréal Airport, "a reality usage had already confirmed. On the 1 January 2004, the airport's name changed to "Montréal Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport" to honour a former Prime Minister of Canada as do other important airports in the country. The official name will, no doubt, not be quoted at length all the time; the forms mentioned as correct on the present record will surely be used instead, including the recommendation of the airport authority as to the use of "Montréal-Trudeau" as the current short form("fly from Montréal-Trudeau", or "land at the Montréal-Trudeau Airport"). Even if the airport encountered many name and status changes, it never had a name that includes a comma, and had always been represented by YUL, its IATA three-letter code. 3, record 6, English, - Montr%C3%A9al%20Pierre%20Elliott%20Trudeau%20International%20Airport

The new name is effective starting January 1, 2004. Pierre Elliott Trudeau, of the Liberal Party, has been Prime Minister of Canada from April 20, 1968 to June 3, 1979, and from March 3, 1980 to June 29, 1984; he died in Montréal on September 28, 2000. 3, record 6, English, - Montr%C3%A9al%20Pierre%20Elliott%20Trudeau%20International%20Airport

Aéroport situé dans l'arrondissement de Dorval de la ville de Montréal et desservant la ville pour les envolées privées, locales, nationales et internationales. L'aéroport a d'abord été l'«aéroport de Dorval», du nom d'une ville en banlieue de Montréal, puis l'«aéroport international de Dorval», pour devenir l'aéroport des vols dits «domestiques», soient les vols limités au territoire canadien, avec la construction de l'«aéroport international de Mirabel» inauguré en 1975 et destiné à accueillir les vols internationaux. Mais le manque de lien terrestre entre Montréal et Mirabel a contribué à accorder à l'aéroport de Montréal à Dorval («Montréal-Dorval») sa vocation internationale, laissant à l'aéroport de Mirabel («Montréal-Mirabel») les vols nolisés (jusqu'à l'automne 2004) et les vols cargo; les décisions politiques en ce sens ont entraîné le versement de sommes importantes en vue de l'agrandissement des installations à ce qui était devenu l'«aéroport international de Montréal à Dorval». Avec la fusion de toutes les villes de l'île de Montréal, y compris les anciennes villes de Montréal et de Dorval, pour former la nouvelle ville de Montréal le 1er janvier 2002, l'aéroport est devenu davantage l'«aéroport de Montréal», ce que l'usage avait déjà consacré. Le 1er janvier 2004, il est renommé «aéroport international Pierre-Elliott-Trudeau de Montréal», prenant le nom d'un ancien premier ministre du Canada comme d'autres importants aéroports au pays. On peut croire que le nom officiel sera peu souvent cité et que l'usage courant retiendra toutes les formules indiquées correctes sur cette fiche, y compris la recommandation d'Aéroports de Montréal, l'administrateur, d'utiliser dans la langue courante la formule courte «Montréal-Trudeau» (ex. : «quitter depuis l'aéroport Montréal-Trudeau» ou «atterrir à Montréal-Trudeau»).

A version of minimax for zero-sum games. The minimax matrix is used again but its interpretation is changed. The playoff of the player whose choices are shown as columns, has the negative of the numbers shown on the matrix. One notes that the opponent now has a nested interest in giving up as little as possible... if both sides more conservatively they would both play "Don’t". This is a rather stable situation, different from the minimax one : here, no cooperation is possible between the two players. One gains exactly what the other loses. 3, record 9, English, - negamax
