| 2011 INDUCTEE TO CANADIAN MUSIC & BROADCASTING INDUSTRY HALL OF FAME | http://www.cmw.net |
 | 2011 INDUCTEE TO CANADIAN MUSIC & BROADCASTING INDUSTRY HALL OF
FAME ANNOUNCED MR. BILL EVANOV
Bill Evanov, President and CEO of Evanov Communications Inc., will be celebrated
for his achievements and contributions to Canada's musical heritage with an
induction to the Canadian Music and Broadcast Industry Hall of Fame. He will be
honoured on Thursday, March 10, 2011 during the Broadcast Industry Awards
gala at Canadian Music Week in Toronto. Previous inductees include: Gordon
Lightfoot, David Foster, The Guess Who, Alanis Morissette, Allan Waters, Tom
Cochrane, Ronnie Hawkins and Rush... to name a few.
Bill Evanov is the Founder and President of Evanov Communications Inc., one of
Canada's fastest growing independent broadcast companies. A true entrepreneur,
Evanov went from owning 3 radio stations in Toronto to 11 across the country in a
span of just six years and in an age where independent radio ownership has
drastically declined due to the consolidation of large corporate multi-chain
broadcasters, he has stood firm and bucked the trend. It is one thing to operate
radio stations, it is another to be hugely successful doing so, especially in major
markets where competition from the large corporations is extreme.
Years ago, when a young Bill Evanov decided to get into radio, he knocked on the
doors of CHUM, CFRB, CKEY, CKFH, CFGM, CHIC and CHFI; but was rejected by
all due to lack of experience. As fortune would have it, Johnny Lombardi gave
him an opportunity at CHIN Radio, a relatively unknown station at the time, and
within 18 months Evanov became Vice President Sales.
Johnny Lombardi and Mel Lastman hosted the First Annual "Spaghetti Dig in
Contest" of which Evanov became the Chief Organizer. He subsequently morphed
this event into the highly successful CHIN International Picnic, which has remained
a staple event in Toronto over the last 30 years and known the world over by the
Guinness Book of World Records as the largest event of its kind.
Among his many accomplishments, Evanov created several unique, non
cookie-cutter formats including: The Evanov CHR/Dance format which delivers a
variety of different genres of rhythmic music - Pop, Rock, Hip-hop, R&B and Dance;
The Jewel's "Light Adult Contemporary" format blending soft, melodic music in a
variety of genres from different eras; and in 2007 he launched CIRR-FM known
as Proud FM, the world's first of its kind, that programs to Toronto's Lesbian, Gay,
Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) population.
Evanov is one of the only independent broadcasters left in the country's largest
markets. He is the founder of the famed Summer Rush Concert - the largest
annual live concert produced by a radio broadcaster in Canada. Summer Rush,
in its 18th year, is a platform for many local artists to perform to a sold-out crowd
and is now produced in Halifax as well as Toronto.
Bill Evanov "walks the walk" everyday in support of Canadian music. He has
opened the door for independent Canadian musical artists at ALL Evanov stations
across the country which has often resulted in being the first to recognize and
play fresh new Canadian talent.
Among some of the more notable successes who received first radio airplay radio
airplay in the respective market of each Evanov station, are Michael Buble, Shawn
Desman (Juno '06 winner), Danny Fernandes (MMVA winner & Juno nominee), DJ
Danny D (half a million CDs sold & Juno nominee), Massari (MMVA winner & Juno
nominee), The Sound Bluntz ('03 & '04 Juno winner), Joee (Juno nominee),
Addictiv (Juno nominee), Love Inc. (Juno winner), BKS's "Rock Em Sock Em
Techno" (550,000 copies sold). The stations provided extensive airplay, far
exceeding other stations to promote Richard Abel, Amy Sky, Mark Jordan, Jann
Arden, Holly Cole, Jesse Cook, Molly Johnson, k.d. lang, Chantal Chamberland,
and Serena Ryder.
Bill Evanov strongly supports education with over a million dollars through a series
of scholarships and endowments. Some of the partner university and college
institutions include Waterloo, Acadia, King's, Dalhousie, Carlton, Guelph,
Sherbrooke, Humber, Western and the University of Manitoba. He is also
committed to the Aboriginal Media Fund that encourages, promotes and makes
possible the development of aboriginal talent.
ECI radio holdings are both responsive and proactive in the communities they
serve. For example, ECI was, the original and still is, the media partner of the
Student Crime Stoppers Program, a partnership between the public, the police
and the media.
With an enterprising spirit, he has blazed trails and achieved a roster of firsts and
milestones in independent radio. He defined dance music as a unique radio format
when he re-launched CING FM as Energy 108 in 1990 and took it from 90,000 to
over 800,000 weekly listeners (FALL 95 BBM) making it the most popular radio
station among teens and young adults. He then recreated the format on CIDC
FM and grew it into the #1 CHR station in the country with 853,000 listeners.
(BBM S2'09) ECI is the first broadcaster in Canadian history to elevate female
employees to ownership status through new radio license acquisitions.
His "Move Like Lightning" and "Just Do It-Make it Happen" philosophy has guided
the company to stand strong in the stiffest competition and his extremely
tenacious approach and street-fighter attitude have extended to the team he
has carefully assembled over the years.
Despite a recent recession where the broadcast industry witnessed hundreds of
layoffs and millions of dollars in cut-backs, Evanov managed not only to keep his
staff of over 300 employees intact, he maintained the tradition of flying every
single employee from across the country to the head office in Toronto for the
company's annual Christmas party.
Evanov sits as a board member with the Ontario Association of Broadcasters and
holds membership with several other broadcast organizations. He raises thousands
of dollars every year for dozens of charity initiatives including "Boating for the
Cure", an event he personally spearheads within the company that raises
thousands of dollars every year for prostate and breast cancer.
Bill Evanov is an entrepreneur and a pioneer. His contribution to the Canadian
broadcast industry is considerable and bound to continue.

| The renovation contract, CMHC | http://www.cmhc.ca |
| One of the major reasons for disputes over renovation work is the lack of a
contract. The best way to avoid this is to draw up an agreement describing the
work to be done and the cost of this work. This contract becomes a legal
document, binding both parties once they have signed it.
Don't sign anything until you are fully satisfied it describes exactly what you want
and contains everything you have agreed upon. Assurances that are made in
writing are binding. If you are not sure of something in the contract, ask for an
explanation. If you're still in doubt, take it to a lawyer. Both you and the
renovator should sign two copies of the contract, one for you and one for the
renovator. Some contractors may offer a discount for payment in cash with no
written contract. Don't be tempted. "Underground economy" transactions are risky,
and the pitfalls can easily offset any promised savings.
According to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation's (CMHC) About Your
House fact sheet, "Sample Renovation Contract" (62351), the contract should
include:
- the correct and complete address of the property where the work will be
done;
- your name and address;
- the renovator's name, address and telephone number;
- a detailed description of the project, plus sketches and a list of
materials to be used;
- the type of work that will be subcontracted;
- the right to retain a construction lien holdback as specified under
provincial law;
- a clause stating that work will conform to the requirements of all
applicable codes
- start and completion dates;
- an agreement stating whether it is the homeowner or the renovator who
is responsible for obtaining all necessary permits, licenses, and
certificates;
- the requirement that the renovator be responsible for removing all
debris as soon as construction is completed;
- a statement of all warranties, explaining exactly what is covered and
for how long;
- a statement of the renovator's public liability and property damage
insurance;
- price and terms of payment.
No matter how well you plan your project, changes will probably be necessary.
These can result in increased costs and delays. To protect yourself and the
renovator, changes should be made only through a written change order detailing
what's involved and the associated cost differences. Do not accept verbal
assurances, always have it documented in writing.

publications, programs and videos on renovation, ask CMHC at 1-800 668-2642

| Rental Agreements - What You Should Know Before you Sign a Lease | http://www.cmhc.ca |
 | When you rent a home or apartment in Canada, the landlord will usually
ask you to sign a written rental agreement. This legal contract is also
often called a "lease."
Under the laws of each province and territory, tenants and landlords have
certain rights and responsibilities whether they have a written agreement
or not. Nevertheless, a written lease agreement can help spell out all
the terms you and your landlord want to have covered and agreed to. You
may also wish to seek legal advice before accepting the terms.
To help you know what to expect, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation
(CMHC) offers the following list of terms that can be found in most
rental agreements:
- The names of the landlord and tenant(s).
- The address of the home or apartment you are renting.
- The monthly rent you agreed to pay, with or without utilities, parking,
cable television or other services.
- The date when the rent is due (for example, on the first day of each
month).
- The amount and terms of any rent, security or damage deposits you agreed
to pay.
- A list of which repairs or upkeep will be your responsibility.
- The term of rental period (most rental agreements are usually for one
year, but some may be month-to-month or week-to-week).
- The conditions for ending or canceling your lease, including financial
implications and the amount of advance notice you must give the landlord
if you decide to move out (for example, 60 days notice).
- The rules or restrictions for subletting the property.
- The amount the landlord is allowed to increase the rent in the future.
- Any other specific restrictions (such as whether or not you can smoke in
the home and whether you can have boarders, pets or a waterbed, etc.).
- Details on when and how the landlord can enter your home or apartment.
- The procedure for making changes to the contract.
- A method for resolving any disputes or disagreements (for example,
disputes about late rent payments, damage to the property or eviction).
- Contact information for both you and your landlord in case of an
emergency (usually including a phone number, fax and email).

| CIRA Announces Revised Fourth Quarter Policies and Procedures | mailto:melisa.db@cira.ca |
 | The Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA) today announced revised
policies and procedures for the fourth quarter 2008, intending to clarify, amend
and simplify our current business processes. These policies will come into effect
on December 9, 2008.
The topics addressed are:
1. CIRA Revised Registrant Agreement
The agreement was shortened considerably from 27 to 14 pages for simplification,
clarification and easier comprehension. The amended Registrant Agreement
document can be found here.
2. Registrant Confirmation Process
The new Registrant Confirmation Process is greatly simplified and has been
reduced from 17 website screens to 3 website screens consisting of a login page,
the Registrant Agreement page, and a completion page.
The Registrant Agreement incorporates by reference each of CIRA’s Policies,
Rules and Procedures (as opposed to listing them individually) creating a more
user-friendly confirmation process.
Registrants will be able to complete the confirmation process directly on
participating Registrars’ websites.
Once Registrants have completed the Registrant Confirmation Process, CIRA will
send emails informing them of CIRA Membership and “Change Without Approval
(CWA)” processes.
3. Manual Change of Administrative Contact Email Rules and Procedures (MCACE)
The previous MCAC has been modified to the MCACE, which is greatly simplified
and shortened for easier understanding and faster service. The new MCACE
forms are much clearer and shorter, with separate forms for Individual and
Non-Individual Registrants. This is now an electronic process, not a paper-based
one as in the past. The forms are in electronic .pdf format which will allow
Registrants to type data into the form fields.
The MCACE will only be used to update the Administrative Contact’s email
address, in cases, where the Registrant does not have their user name and
password and their e-mail address no longer functions. If a Registrant wishes to
update other Administrative Contact information or make any other changes,
they can do so after their user name and password is sent to their new email
address.
A major change that benefits dot-ca Registrants is that the witness no longer
needs to be a professional or a member of a designated group (e.g. lawyer,
professional engineer or doctor).
The witness declaration will only need to be signed by someone who knows
the Registrant well enough to verify that the statements made by the Registrant
on the form are true, such as a family member or friend.
The rules and procedures document has been reduced to less than 3 pages
(from the current 9) for a much clearer and easier to comprehend document.
Registrants are no longer required to list all their domain names on the MCACE
form. If they want the email address change to apply to all their domain names
with that particular Registrar, they can simply specify ALL on the form. If they
want the email address change to apply to specific Registrant profiles, they only
need to list at least one domain name associated with that specific Registrant
profile.
4. Special Change of Administrative Contact Policy Rules and Procedures
(SCAC)
The Special Change of Administrative Contact Policy Rules and Procedures
(SCAC) & the Permit Application Procedure are removed, as the expedited
process it provided will no longer be required in light of the new, simplified
and faster MCACE process.
“We have continued to improve and revise our operational and legal procedures
in this quarter in order to better serve our Registrars and Registrants” said Michael
Stewart, General Counsel and Director of Policy Development, CIRA.
