conKLEINBURG, Ontario, April 3, 2012 – Visitors will continue to enjoy the extensive selection of Canadian art at the McMichael Canadian Art Collection, thanks to an investment from the Government of Canada. This was announced today by the Honourable Julian Fantino, Associate Minister of National Defence and Member of Parliament for Vaughan, on behalf of the Honourable James Moore, Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages. The McMichael Canadian Art Collection consists of 6,000 works of art by Tom Thomson, the Group of Seven, and their contemporaries, as well as First Nations, Inuit, and other artists that have made a contribution to Canada’s artistic heritage. Funding will allow the McMichael Canadian Art Collection to purchase specialized equipment including digital data loggers, digitization equipment, and freezers for storage. The specialized equipment will improve the protection of the art collection, improve staff safety, and modernize the technology used to digitize the art collection. “Our Government received a strong mandate from Canadians to invest in projects that improve cultural facilities like the McMichael Canadian Art Collection,” said Minister Moore. “By supporting organizations that provide access to Canadian art, our Government is delivering on its commitment to strengthen our economy and support our arts, culture, and heritage.” “The McMichael Canadian Art Collection offers our community and visitors an opportunity to view rare works from innovative Canadian artists known across the world,” said Minister Fantino. “Today's announcement will allow the gallery to improve the presentation and preservation of its culturally relevant collection for all Canadians to enjoy.” “The McMichael Art Collection holds one of Canada's greatest collections and we are delighted to receive the support to ensure the safety of this irreplaceable national treasure,” said Victoria Dickenson, Executive Director of the McMichael Canadian Art Collection. “With this investment, we will also increase our capacity to make our collections of Canadian art available globally on our website.” The Government of Canada has provided funding of $32,200 through the Canada Cultural Spaces Fund of the Department of Canadian Heritage. This program seeks to improve physical conditions for artistic creativity and arts presentation or exhibition. It is also designed to increase access for Canadians to performing, visual, and media arts, and to museum collections and heritage displays.Apr 03, 2012 8:25 am | Ontario, Vaughan

conFor Immediate Release Thursday, March 8, 2012 MINISTER JULIAN FANTINO CELEBRATES INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY Vaughan, Ontario: The Honourable Julian Fantino, Associate Minister of National Defence and Member of Parliament for Vaughan, encourages all residents of Vaughan to gain an increased understanding of International Women’s Day. This year's theme is Strong Women, Strong Canada – Women in Rural, Remote and Northern Communities: Key to Canada’s Economic Prosperity. International Women’s Day is celebrated every 8th of March. “International Women’s Day is a time to celebrate and be inspired by the accomplishments of women in Vaughan and across Canada," said Minister Fantino. "Our government continues to take targeted action that supports the prosperity of women and I remain committed to advancing their leadership.” International Women's Day was marked for the first time in 1911 in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland. In 1977, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution calling on member states to proclaim a day for women's rights and international peace. Organizations that Minister Fantino routinely works with in Vaughan on women’s issues are the Empowerment Through Achievement Vaughan Women’s Shelter, Moving Forward and the Elspeth Heyworth Centre for Women. Minister Fantino encourages organizations that deal with women’s issues in Vaughan and the GTA to contact his office to learn about opportunities that benefit them.

conToday, Hindus, Sikhs, Jains and Buddhists in Canada and around the world will begin celebrating Diwali, one of the most important festivals of their heritage. Also known as the “Festival of Lights” and the "Bandhi Chhor Diwas", it is a celebration of the ultimate triumph of good over evil, which is marked by the lighting of diyas, and by sharing sweets and snacks with family and friends. In Canada, Diwali is an opportunity for Canadians of all faiths and cultural backgrounds to take part in local festivities, such as fireworks displays, gift-giving and by enjoying traditional foods. In bringing together people of different faiths and cultural communities, and by spreading a message of peace and friendship, it is a celebration that can serve to strengthen our country. As Member of Parliament for Vaughan, I extend my best wishes for a happy Diwali to all those celebrating with family, friends and neighbours. Namaste.
