To Mark The Visit of His Holiness The Dalai Lama

Credential recognition services
Youth Chess Tournaments For Peace To Be Launched At
for applicants improved
The 2nd Global Conference on World Religions After 9/11 The Government of
The Canadian Centre
for Ecumenism is delighted to announce the
launch of Youth Chess
Tournaments for Peace,
in Montreal, on September 7, 2011 in collaboration with MonRoi Inc.
and
the
Canadian
Chessn Math Association. The event will coincide with the visit of His
Holiness the Dalia Lama
to the 2nd Global Conference of World Religions
After 9/11, a combined
initiative of McGill University and the University of Montral.
In making the announcement, Anthony Mansour, Executive Director of the
Canadian Centre for Ecumenism said: Our Centre promotes interfaith dialogue.
For this exceptional event, we are bringing together youth chess players with
the theme of peace through chess. Chess demonstrates that a resolution of differences can be accomplished in a spirit of mutual respect and understanding
and fair play.
Ten years following the events of September 11th, 2001 the need for renewal
of the worlds commitment to a culture of peace is self-evident. The values enshrined in the Universal Declaration on Human Rights, have always been part
and parcel of the fundamental teachings of all of the worlds great religions, and
must be at the forefront of all of our actions. The further expansion and
strengthening of our spiritual consciousness in the years to come will be a major
driving force to the evolution of society. Technology is playing a major role in
bringing people together and we are proud to contribute, through our webcast
of the event. Each of the 2011 Youth Chess Tournament for Peace participants
will come out as a winner." said the founder of MonRoi Inc, Brana Giancristofaro.
The conference convenor, Dr. Arvind Sharma of McGill Universitys Faculty of
Religion Studies says, The 2nd Global Conference of World Religions After 9/11s
aim is to bring together the various religions of the world in an ecumenical spirit
to address the many issues facing the world today, in the hope that this will help
all of us become better human beings.
The Chess'n Math Association was founded in 1985 and now has three offices, 20 full-time staff and over 100 qualified chess instructors, who teach chess
as an extra-curricular activity to over 10,000 youngsters every week.
The event is endorsed by the World Chess Federation (FIDE). In a letter to
organizers the President says that FIDEis proud to be associated with the 2011
Youth Chess Tournament for Peace, which promotes harmony amongst the people of the world. FIDE, which is recognized by the International Olympic Committee as an Intentional Sports Federation, with 170 member federations, has
several on-going projects with the Peace and Sports organization.
About the Canadian Centre for Ecumenism
Founded in 1963, the Canadian Centre for Ecumenism, through education and awareness
raising activities, promotes Christian unity, as well as understanding and collaboration
among the faithful of the worlds religions. Its quarterly periodical Ecumenism is received in 40 countries and the Centre maintains a specialized 9,000-volume library accessible to the public.

Canada expanded the

key role it plays in
helping foreign trained
skilled workers succeed
in Canada.
The Foreign Credentials Referral Offices
(FCRO) annual report,
released today, highlights the important
achievements made by Citizenship and Immigration (CIC), Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC) and Health Canada,
who work in partnership with provinces and
territories and other key stakeholders to help
foreign trained workers with the foreign credential recognition processes.
We want newcomers to be able to use their
skills as soon as possible in Canada and work to
their full potential, said Jason Kenney, Minister
of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism. Its good for them and good for the Canadian economy.
The Pan-Canadian Framework for the Assessment and Recognition of Foreign Credentials
met its commitment in 2010 to let foreign skilled
workers in eight targeted occupations know
within a year of applying whether their credentials are recognized or what additional courses
they would need to take to have their credentials
recognized. The Framework, led by HRSDC, is
a Government of Canada project in partnership
with the provinces and territories.
"Foreign-trained workers make an important
contribution to Canadas labour market and
economy. Thats why Canadas Economic Action Plan invested $50 million to work with partners to improve foreign credential recognition,"
said Diane Finley, Minister of Human Resources
and Skills Development. "Our government is
helping newcomers find meaningful work that
contributes to Canadas overall prosperity.
In 2010, the Government of Canada, with the
Association of Community Colleges, expanded
the Canadian Immigrant Integration Program
(CIIP) to serve not only Federal Skilled Workers
but also Provincial Nominees, and their spouses
and working-age dependents with two-day orientation sessions on Canadian culture, the labour market and foreign credential recognition
processes. The overseas courses better prepare
skilled immigrants to integrate more quickly
into the Canadian labour market and society.
The program is showing success. By September
2010, nearly 13,000 applicants had registered for
CIIP services and over 9,100 had completed the
two-day course. Among the CIIP graduates who
had arrived in Canada, 70 per cent said they
found employment despite the economic downturn.

Diplomats, politicians attend 28th annual Ramadan dinner in Laval

Interfaith promoter George Saad wonders:

Who will continue his mission in coming years?

Martin C. Barry
After 28 years of staging Quebecs most successful interfaith
dinner, George Saad is wondering: who will carry the
torch when he can no longer do
it?
For nearly three decades, the
Montreal multicultural media
figure and his wife Mary have
rallied spiritual leaders from all
the mainstream faiths, along
with prominent business persons and politicians of all
stripes including Quebec
Premier Jean Charest to attend a meal traditionally served
towards the end of the day
when Muslims break their fast
during Ramadan.
Familiar to Montrealers
Although he is Egyptian,
Saads face could easily be
familiar to Montrealers of all
origins. As host of the Voice of
Egypt, he has for years been a
constant presence on local
multicultural television, conducting interviews and reporting news of particular interest
to the Egyptian community.
Saad also publishes an Egyptian-language community
newspaper and he owns a
travel agency.
Having come to Canada in
1964, Saad, who is Christian,
established himself as a liaison
between Muslims, Jews and
Christians, as well as in the
political and diplomatic
spheres. Charest, who was at
last years interfaith dinner and
at many others before that, was
unable to attend this years
event held on Aug. 7 at the
Chteau Royal, because of a
death the day before on his
wifes side of the family. However, the premier was represented at the dinner by Liberal

Culture, Communications and

Immigration Minister Kathleen
Weil.
Also in attendance were Quebec Justice Minister Jean-Marc
Fournier, Liberal MNAs Alain
Paquet and Lawrence Bergman, Conservative senator
Pierre-Hugues Boisvenu, representatives of the Palestinian
territories and from the U.S
consulate in Montreal, Laval
city councillor Francine Lgar
representing Mayor Gilles
Vaillancourt, Montreal city
councillors Mary Deros and
Alan DeSousa representing
Mayor Grald Tremblay, and
many local spiritual leaders.
Among the representatives
from the Montreal business
community was Peerless
Clothing vice-chairman Elliot
Lifson, who always attends the
dinner.
Questions about next year
Addressing his more than 250
guests, Saad said the mission
he gave himself 28 years ago
through the interfaith dinner
was to create a little more
peace on earth, and he hoped
he could continue, although he
added, I dont know if I will
be able to do it next year. But,
you dont know, I am over 75
right now, my dear. It takes
some guts to go on with this.
Speaking afterwards, DeSousa
said, I must say that if ever
you are thinking, George, of
not continuing with the supper,
let me suggest and I think the
message is unanimous with
this crowd that you should
banish that thought. Get rid of
it. Its a dirty thought. Its
something you dont want to
even think about.
I think the harmony youve
created and the message that
youve brought in bringing so
many people together to break

bread, to share values and to

articulate the main message at
so many levels of government
is such that everyone in this
room de facto becomes an ambassador for the values that
you espouse and for the values
and strategies that you propose.
Rabbis lesson on anger
Rabbi Leigh Lerner of Temple
Emanu-El-Beth Sholom in
Montreal, who shared the podium with clergy from the Islamic and Orthodox Christian
faiths, noted that there is a saying about how the nuclearbombed Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki promote
peace. The Japanese say Hiroshima is angry, Nagasaki
prays, he said. How often for
us is anger the first response to
any affront to the dignity of
our person, our community,
our faith, our land?
Lerner said anger makes us
impatient and makes us want
to fix the world right now. And
even if we have to do it violently, we recall the saying,
you cant make an omelet
without breaking some eggs.
People who think their cause is
more valuable than human life
will think in that way. Probably most of us come here from
religious traditions that are
very old.
Abraham, Ibrahim, made his
first prayer 4,000 years ago,
said Lerner. Davids Psalms

a r e
3,000
years
old. The
Christians
Lords
Prayer is
2,000
years
old. Mohammed
was praying 1,400 years ago.
Yes, there has been a lot of
suffering in their time, and yes,
some of it has been caused by
religious war. But if you ask
what good is prayer, I can respond that during all of our
histories, patience is a commodity in short supply and
prayer teaches patience.
