St. Patrick's Day is observed each year on March 17. St. Patrick's Day is not an official national holiday in Canada. It is, however, a provincial holiday in Newfoundland. St. Patrick's Day invokes the spirit of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland who is credited with bringing Christianity to the island. Observed as a religious occasion in Ireland, in Canada, it is often marked with festive parades and the wearing of green. It is believed that Patrick was born in Kilpatrick Scotland. When Patrick was in his early teens, he was captured during a raid and taken to Ireland as a slave. There he learned to tend and herd sheep. At this time, Druids and pagans occupied Ireland. Patrick learned the practices and language of his captors. Because of the hardships he faced, Patrick turned to God. When Patrick was twenty, God came to him in a dream and advised him to go to the coast. Patrick escaped and sailers took him back to Britain where he was reunited with his parents. But Ireland beckoned to the young man through is dreams, so Patrick entered the priesthood, was ordained as a bishop and returned to the Emerald Isle in March 433. He traveled across the country converting the people to Christianity.  1, fiche 1, Anglais, - St%2E%20Patrick%26rsquo%3Bs%20Day

Town-Country Symbiosis in Calcutta. Historically, the city's eastward expansion halted west of a marginal zone of low lying marshlands, variously known as Dhapa, East Calcutta, or the area of the salt water lakes. Here a symbiotic, creative relationship exists between town and country. With the participation of the rural inhabitants, much of the solid trash, liquid sewage, and polluted air generated by the metropolis of over ten million inhabitants is recycled into organic nutrients, fresh water, and clean air. The system reduces urban waste, creates a daily supply of fresh fish and green vegetables for Calcutta's kitchens, and generates employment and revenue for East Calcutta's thirty-odd villages.  1, fiche 6, Anglais, - town%2Dcountry%20symbiosis

In more concrete terms, the federal government must get down to the task of catching up with countries such as Japan, Germany and France. Some forum participants pointed out that, after being one of the leaders in environmental issues from 1970 to 1995, Canada must now reassess the situation and ask itself whether it is really still the "green" country it claims to be, the model of an environmentally friendly country.  1, fiche 7, Anglais, - %5C%22green%5C%22%20country

Pro-GATT advocates, however, appeared to be ignorant of the massive subsidies for northern agriculture represented by the Green Box measures, of the fact that these subsidies were distorting international prices, and of the reality that it was the tremendous pressure to dispose of these huge surpluses in third country markets like the Philippines that was principally driving the Agricultural Accord. Instead, they advanced efficiency arguments based on assumption of relatively free international markets.  2, fiche 8, Anglais, - Green%20Box%20measures
