Television/Télé-jeunesse Canada plans to provide an alternative
channel, offering a unique viewing experience to young people (ages 2 to 24),
in English and French. This coast-to-coast service will encourage young people
to express themselves and reinforce a positive self-image. Young Canada
Television needs support from interested individual subscribers in the form of
a letter to your cable company stating your desire to have both channels
available and your willingness to pay $1.00 extra per month. Please copy Beth
