At the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, the Canadian women speed skaters were impressive. Cindy Klassen was the first Canadian to win five medals at a single Winter Olympics when she captured a gold, two silver and two bronze medals; Clara Hughes won gold and silver, and Kristina Groves won two silver medals. All three speed skaters are contenders in Vancouver, with Kristina Groves the strongest, having hopes for medals in five events.
The woman to watch in speed skating at the Vancouver games, however, is Christine Nesbitt. Nesbitt also won a silver in the team pursuit at Turin, but she's coming into her own just in time for the Vancouver Olympics. Nesbitt could well be winning gold medals in speed skating in the women's 1000m, 1500m, 3000m and team pursuit.

The Live-in Caregiver Program is a Canadian immigration program which helps Canadians recruit caregivers to live and work in their homes to care for children, seniors or people with disabilities. After a live-in caregiver meets work requirements - right now it's working for two full years in the first three years of being in Canada - he or she can then apply for permanent residence in Canada. In 2008, Canada admitted nearly 13,000 live-in caregivers. Because of Canada's aging population, it is expected the demand for the program will grow.
The government has announced plans to make it easier for caregivers to apply for permanent residence in Canada. Citizenship and Immigration Canada also plans to put in place changes that would give live-in caregivers more protection from potential abuse or exploitation. One of the key changes is ensuring that employment contracts for these caregivers include details on employer-paid benefits, as well as including clauses clearly outlining job duties, hours of work, overtime and holidays, sick leave, and terms of termination and resignation.
