The War Veterans Allowance(WVA) is a transfer payment program, which has been in effect since September 1, 1930. The program is a form of non-taxable financial assistance available to Canadian Veterans of World War I(WWI), World War II(WWII) and the Korean War. It also acts as a "window of access" to other programs(e. g., Veterans Independence Program, Assistance Fund) for recipients and "near-recipients"(individuals who would qualify, except they receive income through other income support programs). The purpose of WVA is to ensure that, in recognition of wartime service, eligible persons are provided with regular monthly income in order to meet their basic needs, and maintain dignity.

OBS

Le Programme des allocations aux anciens combattants (AAC) est un programme de paiement de transfert en vigueur depuis le 1er septembre 1930. Il s'agit d'une forme d'aide financière non imposable offerte aux anciens combattants canadiens de la Première Guerre mondiale, de la Seconde Guerre mondiale et de la guerre de Corée. Le Programme sert également de porte d'entrée vers d'autres programmes (p. ex. Programme pour l'autonomie des anciens combattants, Fonds de secours) pour les bénéficiaires et les quasi-bénéficiaires (personnes qui seraient autrement admissibles si elles ne recevaient pas un soutien du revenu d'autres programmes). Le Programme des allocations aux anciens combattants constitue une forme de reconnaissance aux personnes admissibles ayant servi en temps de guerre, pour s'assurer qu'elles reçoivent un revenu mensuel régulier leur permettant de satisfaire leurs besoins fondamentaux et de conserver leur dignité.

"Paleoeskimo" is a term applied to the Pre-Inuit occupants of the central and eastern North American Arctic and Greenland, a time period extending from ca. 2300 BC-1000 AD. The Early Paleoeskimo period(2300-1000 BC) consists of archaeological units referred to as Pre-Dorset(Canada), Independence I(high arctic Canada and northern Greenland) and Saqqaq(western and southern Greenland). The Late Paleoeskimo Period(500 BC-1000 AD) is marked by the Dorset culture. In between is something nebulous that is sometimes called the "Transitional" period, in which Pre-Dorset develops into Dorset(distinctive regional variants include Independence II in high arctic Canada and northern Greenland and the Groswater Phase of Labrador and Newfoundland).

  • Anthropologie
DEF

Tradition culturelle esquimoïde (2000 B.C. - 1700 B.C.).

OBS

La tradition Pré-dorsétienne vient également du nord de l'Alaska. On la retrouve au Bassin de Foxe, à Baffin, au détroit d'Hudson et au nord de la baie du même nom. La rapidité avec laquelle ces traditions se sont dirigées vers l'est est incroyable et pourrait peut-être s'expliquer par un territoire encore inoccupé, et des techniques de déplacement et d'adaptation nouvelles.
