The programming which is delivered via Contact North may originate at any of Ontario's Universities, Colleges or Secondary Schools. The five community colleges located in Northern Ontario were the largest users of the Contact NOrth net- work this past year. In addition to delivery of cred- it programming, Contact North communications services have also been used by a variety of non-profit groups including the Law Society of Upper Canada, Literacy NorthWest, Boy Scouts of Canada, North West Regional Daycare Committee and the Women's Health Information Network. In addition to teleconference courses, many students have enrolled in correspondence cours- es from a variety of institutions after visiting the Contact North site in their community. Most.teleconference supported courses are delivered during the evenings and on weekends. This year Contact North will be deliv- ering a number of full-time College credit programs for those who wish to enroll in full-time study - without leaving their home community.

Currently under investigation by the Ontario Provincial Police anti-rackets squad, is a widespread practice by represen- tatives of an art distribution com- pany operating in the province merchandising art prints as prod- ucts sanctioned by or originating from Ducks Unlimited Canada. Since the waterfowl conserva- tion organization is widely known to handle specially commissioned or acquired outdoor art reproduc- tions as a means of raising funds, several individuals have believed the sales pitch of the travelling sales persons into paying up to several hundred dollars for prints they were told originated with DU Canada. A complaint has been laid by DU and charges against the per- petrators are pending subject to on-going full investigation. According to Dave Gray, man- ager of Contributor Services for DU Canada, the sales people have been telling potential customers throughout Ontario that special "commemorative edition prints" sets are being handled on behalf of DU Canada, or are surplus from DU-sponsored banquets, or are DU prints acquired through estate sales. Art sets including images of pheasants, wild turkeys, Canada geese and mallards are being pre- sented as Ducks Unlimited limit- ed edition prints with the signa- ture of "Ken Zylla" on each piece. Another sct, also including Canada geese, mallard ducks and pheasants bear the surname "Hartley" on each print. According to Gray, no artists by those names has produced any works for DU. The artwork, in virtually all instances, has been printed on poster paper of a grade much lower than would be acceptable for collectors of art. Gray says Ducks Unlimited Canada is working closely with the OPP to halt the operation since the misrepresentation adversely affects the reputation of the organization as a source of genuine limited edition wildlife art of good quality. Gray points out that individu- als who purchased DU Canada art reproductions at previous DU fund-raising events may, from time to time, re-sell their acquisi- tions. This is normal procedure for any art collector and is encour- aged as one means of keeping the market active. Potential buyers of these items who are not familiar with DU art or artists may wish to verify the title and artist. To do this they should contact the Ducks Unlimited Canada office in Barrie at (705) 726-1650 or the head office of DU Canada at 1-800- 665-DUCK. An indication of the aggres- siveness of sales persons repre- senting one of the distribution firms is the recent case where a salesman walked into the DU Canada office in Kingston and attempted to sell his "DU sanc- tioned art" to the person in charge of handling DU merchandise. The salesman claimed his company was associated with DU Canada and was aiding the orga- nization in its fund-raising pro- gram.
