    Canada's Rowers Win Silver

    After the heroic row to the finish by the Canadian men's four last Saturday, after the photo finish showed they'd failed, by a mere 8-100ths of a second, to catch Great Britain, Buffy Williams walked as close to the Olympic medal podium as security would permit to witness a silver medal being draped over her husband Barney's head.This article was originally published in Maclean's Magazine on August 30, 2004

    Canada's Star News Anchors

    This article was originally published in Maclean’s magazine on May 26, 1997. Partner content is not updated. It was, of course, a send-up - a risky self-parody. As the strains of an operatic overture wafted over the crowd of broadcasting glitterati gathered at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre for the 11th annual Gemini Awards in March, three familiar figures strode onstage with exaggerated hauteur.

    Canada's Walk of Fame

    Canada's Walk of Fame is a non-profit organization dedicated to honouring Canadians who have achieved excellence in the fields of arts and entertainment, science and technology, business, philanthropy, and athletics. Modelled after the Hollywood Walk of Fame, it stretches along 13 city blocks in Toronto’s Entertainment District. Each inductee’s name and signature are etched onto a plaque embedded on the sidewalk, along with a star resembling a maple leaf. Inductees are honoured at an annual, nationally broadcast gala in Toronto. More than 210 people have been inducted since the Walk was founded in 1998.

    Canadian Architecture: 1867-1914

    Between Confederation (1867) and the outbreak of the First World War (1914), Canada's development from British colony to modern, largely urban, industrial and effectively self-governing nation was reflected in its architecture.

    Canadian Arctic Expedition

    The Canadian Arctic Expedition (1913–18) was Canada’s largest, most expensive and scientifically sophisticated Arctic venture to that date. The venture — which included many Iñupiat (Alaskan Inuit), Inuvialuit (Western Arctic Inuit) and Inuinnait (Copper Inuit) — asserted Canada’s sovereignty in the Arctic Archipelago, discovered new islands, remade the map of the Far North, and collected a vast amount of scientific data. It was the first expedition financed and supported by the Canadian government to explore the Western Arctic. Commanded by the controversial explorer Vilhjalmur Stefansson and plagued by internal dissension, the endeavour proved to be a mixture of both achievement and disaster. It comprised more than 100 people, including zoologist and second-in-command, Rudolph Martin Anderson, anthropologist Diamond Jenness, and dozens of Iñupiat, Inuvialuit and Inuinnait hunters, guides and seamstresses. In addition to scientific and cultural research, the expedition’s accomplishments included the discovery of the Lougheed, Borden, Meighen, and Brock Islands — at the time, regions unfamiliar (or unknown) even to Inuit. The Canadian Arctic Expedition (CAE) strengthened Canada's claims to sovereignty over the Arctic, and established Stefansson's reputation as a visionary genius to his admirers and a manipulative liar to his adversaries.
