Monique Taylor, MPP Hamilton Mountain

Hello Tina, I’ve received confirmation that the jigsaw ribbons you gave Monique will be worn in the

Legislature on Monday. Monique will also be making a statement, as will (as I understand it) the

Minister of Children and Youth Services. I expect the PC critic will also make a statement.The way it

usually works is that the Minister makes a statement then the critics of the other two parties make their statements.

Thanks for your help in this matter.

MARK BENNET

Originally from Newfoundland, Mark Bennett began his career in

entertainment as a stand-up comic on the Ottawa stages and

performing at the prestigious Just For Laughs festival in Montreal.

Mark’s work has been featured on Star TV, the Comedy Network,

CBC, and most recently at the Los Angeles International Comedy Festival.

With his nice-guy approach, combined with exceptional

wit and an imagination that sees no boundaries, it’s no wonder

Mark has charmed audiences across North America. Come check

him out.

JIM MCNALLY

Although Canadian and American audiences have been

howling at Jim McNally for over a decade now, he is

becoming more and more recognized lately after stellar

performances at the Ha!lifax Comedy Festival and on

CTV's "Comedy NOW!". In 2005, he was the first

comedian to get a standing ovation at Ottawa's Absolute

Comedy and was asked back to headline thier first

anniversary weekend.The following is his 'bio blurb',

which describes him pretty well, but really, you've gotta see him.

Darryl Purvis

This Nova Scotian-born funny man makes comedy look easy. Simple as that. With some of the sharpest sarcasm and satire around, it’s no wonder that Darryl is one of the first-rate joke writers on the Canadian comedy scene.

Darryl has performed at several festivals and clubs across North America as well as numerous national television and radio appearances such as his own “Comedy Now!” episode on CTV/The Comedy Network and the Halifax Comedy Festival on CBC-TV.

He has the ability to poke fun at the unsuspecting characters and absurd subjects that cross his path; his clever blend of intelligence, insight and charm is all wrapped up in a down-home, East Coast sensibility.

Darryl Purvis is funny. Simple as that

M2D Racing and Canadian National Autism Foundation Join Forces for GBGP
Post by: CanadianRacingOnline on September 13, 2012, 11:58:26 AM

( London , ON ) The M2D Racing Team has joined forces with the Canadian National Autism Foundation to promote the organization during the inaugural 12-hour Grand Bend Grand Prix at the Grand Bend Motorplex on Saturday September 15th.The M2D Racing Team of Terry Meyer, Jamie Maudsley, Steve March, and Jay Doerr and their Honda Prelude ChumpCar will be displaying the logo, and have agreed to donate any prize money received back to the foundation.

Team member Jamie Maudsley said, “We’re excited about being able to do something like this to assist with Paul Reilly, Tina Fougere and the folks from the Canadian National Autism Foundation.I was lucky enough to meet some members of the foundation team through their awareness and fundraising event at Delaware Speedway, and found out how many speedways that they have been to this summer.Within our team it’s a disability that some of us are very familiar with and if we can support their campaign by helping them out through racing, it’s the least we can do.”

Tina Fougere of the Canadian National Autism Foundation spoke about the group’s involvement in motorsports, “We have had great success with all of the raceways that we have had our autism day at with our promotion and bring awareness to new demographics that we have not penetrated. We have helped a lot of those out with autism information and parents that need some help.We also love the fact that having another network base to spread the awareness of autism out there is so beneficial to those of us living with loved ones with autism to better understand the differences of autism and how to help out that they are informed with more important information.”
As for the group, she explained, “Our Foundation members are all volunteers and we are here to help those with needed information and to help out with research money for Canadian Based research by events that are put on to raise funds and other initiatives of the foundation. We allocate monies out to some of those who submit their grant submissions.”

Autism is a neurological disorder that affects the functioning of the brain, in the areas of social interaction and communication skills Children and adults with autism typically have difficulties in verbal (expressive) and non-verbal (receptive) communication, social interactions, and often engage in repetitive patterns of behaviour. The disorder makes it hard for them to communicate with others and relate to the outside world. In some cases, aggressive and/or self-injurious behavior may be present.
Autism affects 1 in 88 children. More children will be diagnosed with autism this year than with cancer, AIDS and diabetes combined.

The Canadian National Autism Foundation was formed in June 2000, by parents of children with autism.

Foundation Goals
The objectives of the Canadian National Autism Foundation are charitable. The Canadian National Autism Foundation has been formed to provide funding for:
* Educating the general public and professionals
Educating others is very important to CNAF, much of the general public is unaware of autism and how it affects ones behavior. Each child/adult with autism is very different from one another and often have different triggers.
* Providing information and resources to families of people with autism
* Providing funding for Canadian based research and development
* Promoting national autism awareness For more information on the Canadian National Autism Foundation visit http://cnaf.net http://www.kx947.fm/articles/view/canadian-national-autism-foundation
