An informational package outlining the Canola Council of Canada's (CCC) 10-year strategic plan, "Keep It Coming 2025", produced by the CCC in January 2014. Package consists of a CCC-branded folder containing a press release; "The Canola Council of Canada Strategic Plan" booklet; and "The Science" booklet.

The press release, titled "Canada's Canola Industry Sets Bold New Targets for 2025", outlines the contents of the strategic plan and the canola industry's three priorities for reaching the targets.

Priorities include:
Priority 1: Sustainable, Reliable Supply - "Sustainably and profitably increase annual canola production in Canada to meet global demand for 26 million tonnes of Canadian canola by increasing yield to an average of 52 bushels per acre. Improve quality characteristics of seed, oil and meal to meet new and existing customer requirements".
Priority 2: Differentiated Value in the Marketplace - "Meet global demand of 26 million tonnes by differentiating and demonstrating the quality characteristics of seed, oil and meal to meet new and existing customer requirements at a competitive price."
Priority 3: Stable and Open Trade - "Creating a competitive, stable and open trade environment that consistently allows the industry to attain the maximum value for canola and its products free of tariff and non-tariff trade barriers."

The "Strategic Plan" booklet, alternately titled "It's Amazing What One More Bushel of Canadian Canola Can Do", contains information about the CCC's history; mission statement; Industry Goal and Strategic Priorities; and their plans to achieve the goal and 2025 targets.

"In this glitteringly stylish, haunting novel, Christopher Coe evokes both the charmed era of the 1970s and early 80s - when it seemed possible for men to love each other without demands and with Dionysian abandon - and the years of loss that followed. Through the story of Timothy and Jasper's twenty-year relationship, Coe creates an inexpressibly moving portrait of people living on the razor's edge of desire, from the bathhouses of San Francisco to the waterfronts of New York and the streets of Paris, and offers a rapturous, bittersweet homage to those who now face death for having lived so exuberantly in such times."

Non-fiction. Presented in the style of a punk zine and with contributions from Gus Van Sant, Kurt Cobain, Vaginal Creme Davis, Bruce LaBruce, and David McIntosh, the book provides an intimate look at the life and work of Canadian filmmaker Bruce LaBruce.

"Cherry Grove, situated along the magnificent beach of Fire Island, is the setting for this unusually poignant and joyful love story. The Old Man, a world-famous novelist, young at heart, lives with Joe, some thirty years younger, sleek and tan. Surrounded by steady friends and finding fulfillment in each other, the Old Man and Joseph are deeply content to enjoy another summer until life deals them one of its unexpected hands. A hauntingly beautiful love story, Joseph and the Old Man is reminiscent of Andrew Holleran's Dancer from the Dance and Edmund White's Nocturnes for the King of Naples."
