Living in Harmony
By Dora Jellema
First an apology is due for a printing
error in the 50 Plus spring edition in
which the first two lines of Living in
Harmony were re-printed from the
winter edition and had nothing to do
with the spring edition article!
N
ow B.C. already enjoys warm sunny days with
Canada Day celebrations coming our way on July
1st when there will surely be proud waving of our
maple leaf flag. My favourite memory is of the Canadian
flag flown at the 1986 Expo held in Vancouver. The
enormous flag stirred patriotism, flying beside the Georgia
Viaduct with an exciting noise as it flapped in the wind
when we drove past. The huge flag pole was auctioned off
to a car lot in Surrey where the flag still can be seen on the
hill top while driving over the Port Mann Bridge.
The Canadian maple leaf flag was introduced only fifty
years ago. Introduced in 1965, it became the official symbol
of our identity, replacing the Red Ensign which bore a replica
of the British Union Jack on a red background. At that time
Lester B. Pearson was Prime Minister of a minority Liberal
government. He was determined to introduce a unique
Canadian flag to reflect our departure from Commonwealth
rule. Design ideas were invited from the Canadian
population and numerous versions were submitted.
Meanwhile there was furious debate in parliament over the
proposed change and Conservative Leader John Diefenbaker
with his opposition party protested the symbolism of
breaking ties with Britain. Among Canadians across the
country there was also a nostalgic loyalty to the Red Ensign
under which our forces fought during World War II.
The emotional parliamentary debate was nick named the
'flag flap'. But eventually, after 37 days Prime Minister
Pearson's Liberal government forced the vote which
resulted in 163 – 78 votes in favour of the new flag.
Subsequently, on February 15th 1965 there was a ceremony
held on Parliament Hill, lowering the Red Ensign from a
ceremonial flag staff outside Centre Block and replacing it
with our distinctive red and white maple leaf flag that we
know so well. Prime Minister Pearson gave a brief speech
with these words: "Under this flag may our youth find new
inspiration for loyalty to Canada; for patriotism based not
on mean or narrow nationalism but on a deep and equal
pride that all Canadians will feel for every part of this good
land. God bless our flag! God bless Canada."

A leisurely afternoon in picturesque
White Rock. Tasty lunch on your own
at the many eateries, stroll out on to
the pier, or browse the interesting
boutiques. Enjoy the beach and treat
yourself to an ice cream cone before

West Side Story is a dynamic
reimagining of Romeo and Juliet in
the turbulent streets of 1950's New
York. As a turf war rages between two
rival gangs, a pair of star-crossed lovers
find themselves caught in the middle
-- and tragically wrenched between
two worlds. The beautiful, passionate,
and heartbreaking work was created by
the dream team of Leonard Bernstein,
Arthur Laurents, and Stephen Sondheim.
Jerome Robbins' kinetic, explosive
choreographic style intrinsically tied the
musical to its exhilarating songbook,
which includes such gems as 'Cool,'
'America,' 'I Feel Pretty,' and 'Tonight.'

Merry Wives of Windsor
It's 1968 in Windsor, Ontario and
English ex-pat Sir John Falstaff is
hunting for a solution to his money
troubles. He sends an identical love
letter to two wealthy housewives,
hoping to seduce them -- and enjoy
their fortunes – with no clue that they
are best friends! When they discover
his scheme, these merry wives set
Falstaff up for some hilariously sweet
revenge. This Jessie Award winning
production was first staged in Bard’s
Douglas Campbell Theatre. Now it's
bigger and even better on the BMO
Mainstage and still full of high-spirited
fun and classic '60s music that made it
a hit with audiences and critics.

Understanding Hearing Loss
Hearing loss may be so gradual that
you don't even notice it. You may feel
people are not speaking clearly or
loudly enough, causing you to feel
'left out' of conversations. In fact, your
spouse, your friends or your family
members may be aware you have
hearing loss long before you are. 1 out
of 3 people over the age of 65 have
hearing loss, but only 30% of those
with hearing loss do something about
it. Presented by Connect Hearing.
