I received an update from the Ontario Educational Software people (OESS) and as of April 1st, the Ontario Government has paid for performance rights – classrooms, libraries, etc.. Please go to www.nfb.ca (The National Film Board). There are no passwords – all we need to do is go to the website and enjoy. This is a great educational site, so please make sure you forward this message to the staff at your school.
So, I don't need a lot of encouragement to pursue a diversion! And I have been looking for a film that I remember with fondness from my school days, The Rise and Fall of the Great Lakes by Bill Mason. Not only did I find it, but I can embed it here. Besides its interesting geological information, it reminds us of the significant damage that is being done to the Great Lakes by human activity.

Hi Ross, I was following your other blog by mistake, hope you're having a great year. Two movies I have always wanted to find (again) are Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. Leonard Cohen, and one on skateboarding which I could vividly remember visually. So I went to this site and... ta da! The Leonard Cohen movie is listed, from 1965, and I even found the skateboarding one. It is called The Devil's Toy and was directed by Claude Jutra in 1966. Wow, fun. Now I want to see them!
Loved that film when in school. Especially love seeing rapids I recognize on the French R.
