Voici Viola Desmond

MacLeod, Elizabeth


"Par un jour pluvieux de novembre 1946, Viola, de passage à Glasgow en Nouvelle-Écosse, décide d''aller au cinéma. Elle s''installe dans la section officieusement réservée aux Blancs, mais l''ouvreuse lui demande de changer de place. Viola refuse, car elle sait que c''est à cause de la couleur de sa peau. La police l''emmène de force. Viola est emprisonnée, jugée et déclarée coupable. Cela ne l''empêche pas, avec l''aide de ses partisans, de continuer à se battre pour la justice sociale. Bien qu''elle ait ultimement perdu sa cause devant la Cour suprême, elle fut une pionnière pour les premiers militants des droits civils. Grce au travail acharné de sa sour Wanda qui s''est battue pour que son héritage soit reconnu à sa juste valeur, le portrait de Viola figurera sur les nouveaux billets de 10

Voici Chris Hadfield

MacLeod, Elizabeth


"Meet Colonel Chris Hadfield, the first Canadian to walk in space - and make a music video while in orbit! When Chris Hadfield was a boy, growing up on a farm in Milton, Ontario, Canada didn't have a space program. But from the moment he saw a man first walk on the moon, young Chris decided he would somehow get to space. And with everything Chris did, from learning to fix farm machinery and joining the Air Cadets to flying fighter planes and becoming a test pilot, he prepared himself to get there. Chris Hadfield has rocketed into space three times, been on two space walks and was the first Canadian to command the International Space Station. And nobody plays a guitar in space or rocks a mustache better! This new picture book biography series features simple text and full-colour, comic-flavoured illustration with speech balloons that help bring the story alive. Historical photos and timeline support the narrative.--"

Voici Willie O'Ree

MacLeod, Elizabeth


"Le 18 janvier 1958, Willie O''Ree est entré dans l''histoire lorsqu''il est devenu le premier Noir à jouer dans la LNH. Il a disputé un total de 45 matchs avec les Bruins de Boston, un exploit remarquable compte tenu des épreuves qu''il a dû surmonter pour y parvenir. Au cours de sa carrière, Willie a souvent dû faire face au racisme, à l''intolérance et aux insultes. De plus, il était aveugle d''un oil et devait en garder le secret au risque de ne jamais jouer dans la LNH! Toutefois, grce à son caractère, sa persévérance et son amour du jeu, son séjour avec les Bruins n''était que le début de ses réalisations dans le monde du hockey. Depuis les vingt dernières années, Willie O''Ree est le directeur du développement jeunesse du programme de la diversité de la LNH. En 2018, il a été intronisé au Temple de la renommée du hockey. Jusqu''à ce jour, il continue d''inspirer les jeunes hockeyeurs sur et en dehors de la glace! On January 18, 1958, Willie O''Ree made history when he suited up with the Boston Bruins against the Montreal Canadiens. O''Ree went on to play a total of 45 games with the Bruins, a remarkable achievement considering all he had to overcome to get there. He was often subjected to racism, bigotry and name-calling. He was blind in one eye - something he had to keep secret or he''d never play in the NHL. But thanks to his relentless positivity, perseverance and love of the game, Willie''s time with the Bruins is only the beginning of his achievements in hockey. For the past twenty years he has served as the NHL''s Director of Youth Development and was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2018, among other achievements. He continues to inspire others on and off the ice. Original title: Scholastic Canada Biography: Meet Willie O''Ree"

Voici, J. Armand Bombardier

MacLeod, Elizabeth


Meet Joseph-Armand Bombardier — Canadian inventor, innovator and entrepreneur! Born in 1907, Joseph-Armand grew up in Valcourt, a small village in Quebec. Like many places in rural and Northern Canada, it was often cut off from the world after winter snows made the roads impassable. When Armand was a kid, he was already inventing his own toys, including his first attempt at a vehicle that could drive through snow. As an adult, the passion to invent a snow machine became a serious ambition after his 2-year-old son died from appendicitis. It was winter and they could not get him to the hospital. Armand persisted even after many failures — until he did it! His B7 snow machine was used to deliver milk and mail . . . and it saved lives. But Armand didn’t stop there! He continued to invent and innovate his whole life, making contributions to the war effort and developing machines like the Muskeg tractor and the famous Ski-doo. His inventions revolutionized the way people live and work.
