This sear the Assembly has) in-
troduced a@ namber of innovations
designed to further siren hen and
nurture BoC.s community-based
artists,

The focus of the show is shif-
ting from its traditional search for
excellence — an external search by
jurors — to a search for meaning
— an internal personal search by
each individual artist.

The Assembly is inviting artists
who desire tu create a work within
a thematic context: creative ap-
proaches to community issues.
This means a work which ex-
presses in a unique and personal
way, a sense of identity and place
which has a social meaning for the
viewer as well as a personal, in-
tegral meaning for the artist.

Arusty wishing fo work as thes

Canadas resources.

A CN sulphur unit train, like a giant conveyor belt, winding its
way through the rugged Fraser Canyon in B.C.

Canada is a nation rich in natural resources
that ere vital io our economy.

But Canadian producers face some unique
problems tn their struggle to survive in the global
marketplace in which they compete.

Our resources must be moved to port over some
of the most rugged terrain and the longest inland
distances of any producing country in the worid.
That fact makes transporiation a crucia! issue.

Keeping Canada’s resources
competitive is important to everyone.

CN plays a major role in moving Canada’s coal,
sulphur, potash and grain, using innovations
like our unit trains. These are on the move almost
perpetually like enormous conveyor belts. The
efficiency of this system greatly increases
productivity and reduces costs.

CN people—with specific resource expertise ~
are working closely with produces on a variety
of other service initiatives to help them meet
world market conditions.

Better equipment utilization and car cycling
are key areas. CN has spent over S300 million
in recent years to buy and rebuild equipment and
Streamline operations through computerization
and other high-tech deve'opments.

You can't turn your back on the importance of
Canada’s resources nor the problems they face.
CN is committed as an extra “backbone” to
support these products. Their success is important
to everyone.

Living up to the commitment.
