The SC Committee that is working on Centennial ideas would like to hear from Scouters by November 8th. Members (youth and adults) can contact them in the...
For the last few years, I have been looking for a program to make a "website like" clickable application that you could use to identify trees. I know, most...
I have a book from our local natural resources, that identifies native tree of manitoba. Maybe check with your natural resources and see if they put out this...
IF I may suggest it, one of the whole of Canada, split Provincially, would be a good way allowing the kids to choose their home Province and then Canada....
I cannot join that group, I am not registered this year. What i will do is release a "beta" version. One that is for Ontario. The people can try it, and if...
Several years ago I came upon a fantastic book for tree identification. I photocopied it (oh no! Bad Scouter Eva!) and made copies for all the kids. The beauty...

I like mine too...it is quite good. I don't know much about the subject but isn't the copyright up this year? Did it ever get renewed? Garth ... Canada, The ...
Don't ask, don't know <Wink> Copyright on the 1st Edition was 1919 so it must have run out by now, all the later editions are revised or numbered later BUT...
It doesn't matter whether anybody on the outside cares or not. A Scout is honest 'period' A Scout isn't only supposed to be honest when somebody checks on...
... In a sane world, copyright on a publication from 1919 would have expired, and the work would revert to the public domain, which is a great thing. Works in...

I agree that the copyright probably has expired for this. What I have trouble understanding is what happens when the "author" is an entity like Scouts Canada....
... It appears that in Canada, it doesn't matter that Scouts Canada holds the copyright; what matters is the authors of the publication itself. If the authors...

From what I know of them I don't believe they are dishonest. However I have no idea whether they checked with anybody so I can't comment on that. Garth...
