TransCanada
In the Community
When it comes to new projects, public involvement may involve one on one discussions, public presentations, or open houses with affected stakeholders. We supplement these face to face meetings with written materials and other forms of communication such as fact sheets, brochures, websites, e-mail, and Toll-free telephone lines. Our goal is to develop projects in a manner that is publicly supported and aligned with our business objectives and values.

Free traveling panel exhibition, "Civil War 150" grants for libraries, history, civil war, remembering our veterans, and civic engagement
Library grants: Applications are being accepted through July 15 for grants to develop public programming around the free traveling panel exhibition, "Civil War 150." The $1000 grants, offered by the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History, in partnership with The Library of America, will be awarded to 50 sites to host the exhibition and plan accompanying public programming. The winners will also be given written materials, such as discussion guides, and access to a multimedia website that contains digital resources. The exhibition is available for three-week periods between October 2012 and March 2015. Additionally, there will be prizes in the amount of $500 awarded to 150 libraries to provide the public programming component of the project. The exhibition is part of Civil War 150: Exploring the War and Its Meaning through the Words of Those Who Lived It, a major three-year project funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities and centered on The Library of America's ambitious four-volume series, The Civil War Told by Those Who Lived It (2012).

Te Tai Tamariki Trust-meaning the tide of children
Te Tai Tamariki
- meaning the tide of children - is a registered charitable trust, founding in May 2006. The Trust has been set up
to preserve and promote New Zealand children's literature.
New Zealand has produced many world renowned authors, artists and illustrators over the decades, and more recently has
shown leadership in the use of new technologies and media to communicate story. It is the original manuscripts, illustrations
and other media of these New Zealanders that we want to protect and promote for the future. The Trust will continue to
both promote and collect children's literature (broadly defined), in a variety of media from books to digital forms.
At present, there is no central body focusing on the collection, restoration, preservation and exhibition of such material, and
it is feared that it will be lost if action is not taken. Te Tai Tamariki's vision is to create a national centre – with its base in
Christchurch – that will encourage a wide range of groups to enjoy and celebrate New Zealand's children's literature. The
physical centre will be multi-faceted, with a wide variety of purposes including entertainment, education, research and
retail. Such centres have already been established overseas as both domestic and international tourist attractions as well as
educational centres. The concept plan for this national centre can be read here.
While still in its early days, the vision of Te Tai Tamariki is fast gaining the support of both the literary world and the general public.
