The Centre for Contemporary Canadian Art (CCCA) was founded in 1995 by Bill Kirby, with Peter D.R. Brown and Arthur B.C. Drache, Q.C. The Centre is a federally incorporated, not-for-profit charitable arts organization, administered by a Board of Directors, and based in Toronto, Canada. It has been managed since its inception by Founder and Executive Director, Bill Kirby. The focus of the CCCA’s activity is the Canadian Art Database Project. The CCCA is essentially a ’virtual organization’, with no permanent staff and no permanent facilities. As funds have permitted, however, the Director has been assisted in developing The Canadian Art Database, by members of the CCCA Group, experienced artists and arts professionals who have been engaged under contract for varying periods over the past seven years. The CCCA has been further assisted by York University students in developing various sections of the project, and has contracted additional, specialized short-term personnel, as required, to meet specific production needs. 1, record 4, English, - Centre%20for%20Contemporary%20Canadian%20Art

Le Centre est une organisation artistique sans but lucratif constituée sous le régime fédéral, administrée par un Conseil d'administration, dont le siège est à Toronto, Canada. Le Centre est géré depuis sa fondation par son fondateur et directeur exécutif, Bill Kirby. L’activité du CACC se concentre sur le Projet de la Base de données sur l’art canadien. Le CACC est essentiellement une « organisation virtuelle », qui n’a ni personnel permanent ni locaux permanents. Toutefois, le directeur a reçu une aide pour développer la Base de données sur l’art canadien de membres du group CACC, des artistes chevronnés et des spécialistes du domaine des arts, qu’il a engagés sous contrat, en fonction des fonds disponibles, pour des périodes de diverse durée au cours des sept dernières années. Le CACC a également reçu l’aide d’étudiants de l’Université York pour le développement de plusieurs sections du projet, et a engagé sous contrat à court terme du personnel spécialisé, selon les besoins, qui s’est occupé de tâches spécifiques de production. 1, record 4, French, - Centre%20de%20l%27art%20contemporain%20canadien

The New York Mercantile Exchange(NYMEX) is the world's largest physical commodity futures exchange located in New York City. Its two principal divisions are the New York Mercantile Exchange and the New York Commodities Exchange(COMEX) which were once independent companies but are now merged. The New York Mercantile Exchange, Inc. is currently a large private company. The New York Mercantile Exchange handles billions of dollars worth of energy products, metals, and other commodities being bought and sold on the trading floor and the overnight electronic trading computer system. The prices quoted for transactions on the exchange are the basis for prices that people pay for throughout the world. In 1933, the COMEX was established through the merger of four smaller exchanges : the National Metal Exchange, the Rubber Exchange of New York, the National Raw Silk Exchange, and the New York Hide Exchange. On august 3, 1994, the NYMEX and COMEX finally merged under the NYMEX. Now, the NYMEX operates in a state of the art trading facility and office building with two trading floors in the World Financial Center in downtown Manhattan. 3, record 7, English, - New%20York%20Mercantile%20Exchange
