SPEAKING OUR PEACE A new hour-long documentary from Studio D, NFB, filmed in Canada, Britain and the USSR. The co-directors are Bonnie Sherr Klein (Not a Love Story: A Film About Pornography) and Terri Nash (If You Love This Planet). The concept of peace as more than simply the absence of war is explored, from the unique perspective of women who are passionately committed to world peace. Among those interviewed are author, Margaret Laurence; Ottawa Mayor, Marion Dewar; Toronto physicist, Dr. Ursula M. Franklin; Montreal political and economic analyst, Solanges Vincent; and Dr. Rosalie Bertell, an expert on low-level radiation effects. The film also records the visits of two Canadian women to Russia where they held peace discussions with their Russian counterparts. STAMPS TO HONOR CANADIAN WOMEN'S RIGHTS ACTIVISTS Canada Post announces its new 32-cent stamps to commemorate Judge Emily Murphy (1868-1933) and Thérèse Casgrain (1896-1981). Emily Murphy was the first woman magistrate in the British Empire and a mover in the "Person's Case" which culminated, in 1929, with a reversal of the Supreme Court of Canada's initial ruling that women were "not legally persons." Thérèse Casgrain founded the Ligue des droits de la femme whose first target was women's right to vote in Quebec provincial elections, which they won in 1940. The portraits which appear on these were painted by Muriel Wood of Toronto. GRINDSTONE ISLAND CENTRE Big Rideau Lake (half way between Ottawa and Kingston).
