English

Subject field(s)
  • Christian Theology
CONT

Never before during his nearly decade-long pontificate has Pope Francis described any of his international trips as a "penitential pilgrimage. "It is precisely this description … that helps us understand the peculiarities of his … journey to Canada. It is not primarily a visit to a country, nor one with the main purpose of meeting Catholic communities, but rather a concrete gesture of closeness to the indigenous peoples who inhabit that land and have suffered the consequences of colonialism.

Domaine(s)
  • Théologies chrétiennes
CONT

Le voyage du pape François a été l'occasion pour le souverain pontife de renouveler ses excuses aux victimes des pensionnats pour Autochtones qui étaient sous le contrôle de l'Église catholique. Un pèlerinage de pénitence, comme il a lui-même qualifié son séjour.

CONT

El propio pontífice […] ha calificado [la visita] de "peregrinaje de penitencia", que llega un año después de una oleada de descubrimientos de cientos de cadáveres de niños indígenas en orfelinatos gestionados en su mayor parte por la Iglesia católica y la Iglesia Unitaria de Canadá durante más de un siglo y medio […]

The Brandon Humane Society has been in operation since 1946 when it was founded by Eleanor Kidd. She originally housed the shelter in her garage on 13th Street, then in an abandoned stable near Empress Bay, and later in an old barn near the riverbank where Eleanor Kidd Gardens are now located. In 1997, the shelter moved to its new premises at 2200 17th Street East. These days, our residents-both cats and dogs-live in a comfortable building with heat and air conditioning, two large exercise yards, an enclosed cat patio, and enough kennels for 20 cats and 13 dogs. When our kennels are full, our dedicated volunteers foster animals in their own homes. Since this is a no-kill shelter, the atmosphere is very positive... our animals are loved and well cared for as they wait to be adopted. We invite you to come visit us and see for yourself! Our Mandate. The Brandon Humane Society's constitution states that the Society :-has the primary purpose of providing aid and assistance to companion animals,-will accept unwanted companion animals into the shelter when space is available,-will make every effort to find homes for animals in our care,-and will educate the public on companion animal needs, especially the importance of sterilization.

  • Sports Facilities and Venues
  • Skiing and Snowboarding
CONT

When we say that Les Arcs is purpose-built we mean that the place was started from scratch, not much more than a cow pasture to be exact. From there apartments were built, hotels designed and a great ski area was developed ... As in many purpose-built resorts, apres-ski entertainment can be limited, but we know of at least one lively hotel and couple of good pubs.

CONT

If like us, you dislike ugly purpose-built resorts, but like to cover a few kilometres on the piste, Meribel should be on the short list of resorts to visit... The convenience of a purpose built resort is always a trade-off between easy access to skiing and ugly architecture...

Naturally emitted microwaves are the target of this unusual telescope. Located near the summit of Mauna Kea in Hawaii, the JCMT [James Clerk Maxwell Telescope] is helping to open a new window on the universe. Named after the pioneering Scottish physicist who gave us a fundamental understanding of electricity and magnetism, the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope is used to investigate a part of the electromagnetic spectrum that is only now beginning to be explored. The telescope is capable of exploring radio waves with a range of about 0. 3 to 2 mm... JCMT was built jointly by the United Kingdom and the Netherlands and is funded by the UK, Canada and the Netherlands. It is operated from the Joint Astronomy Centre in Hilo, Hawaii and used by astronomers from the funding countries and world-wide, who visit the observatory for the few days that they are scheduled to use the telescope each year.
