A contest of basic cowboy skills that is indigenous to the ranges of the Western United States and Canada.  2, fiche 1, Anglais, - rodeo

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS

The term "rodeo" comes from a Spanish word meaning "roundup", and the sport developed from the natural competitive urges of cowboys involved in mass roundups on the western plains. The principal events of rodeos today are bull riding, saddle bronc riding, bareback [bronc] riding, calf roping, and steer wrestling, with steer roping and team roping contests often added to the list. Many rodeos add some other popular events such as barrel riding(a slalom-like race for women on horseback around a number of barrels), wild-horse racing, and wild-cow milking contests essentially for the amusement of the audiences. Organized rodeos go back to the 19th century; the principal feature of Buffalo Bill Cody's famous Wild West show, which began in 1883, was the rodeo.  2, fiche 1, Anglais, - rodeo

Even in the current environment where lay-offs occur with increasing frequency, resumes which show the candidates has been laid off one or more times should be red flagged. Why?

The Ecotourism Society has guidelines to help find a truly eco-friendly operator. For example, a company should be able to show that funds from a trip go directly to the local community--this includes employing locals and using lodging and food from the area. The society also recommends asking tour operators about what they do for local conservation. Find out if they donate money to local organizations that concentrate on environmental concerns, or if the operators have established local conservation projects.  6, fiche 6, Anglais, - eco%2Doperator

Video produced in 1994 by Sneyd Syndicate Inc., Orillia, Ontario. This touching drama describes how a little boy is affected by witnessing his father beating his mother. Seven-year-old Jonathan is having trouble at school. He has a quick temper, a short attention span and he is reluctant to tell anyone what's troubling him. A black-eyed Susan in a bouquet of flowers reminds him of his mother's black eye and his father's violence, so Jonathan refuses to go home. When his mother comes to pick him up, the abuse is revealed, and Jonathan's family gets the help they need. The aim of this film is to show children in similar situations that there are things they can do to help themselves.  1, fiche 12, Anglais, - Black%2DEyed%20Susan
