2. •North Bay Camera Club on flickr - what is it?
   
   It is a forum for discussion and sharing with members. To join the group, North Bay Camera Club members need a (free) Yahoo "account", (obtaining a username and password). If you have an account already that is good. Once you have an account you can join Flickr (free or pro version) using that information. The group is open to the public to view, but to join the group people will require permission from an administrator. This is all done online, on the website. There are literally thousands of specialist Flickr Groups dedicated to photography, North Bay Camera Club is one such group. You can upload your pictures for the galleries, we can run competitions, discuss techniques and many other things. you can download a Flickr tutorial here.

5. •Can i take a picture of people in the street?
   
   “Ontario does not have an Act which grants it's citizens ownership of their image, likeness, voice, or other attributes. Other provinces may have this kind of act, however, the Privacy Act of Ontario does not protect these rights. This does not mean that model releases are not be required, since the model could sue you under Civil law.”
   But, it looks like street photography of peoples faces IS completely legal for non-commercial means. And also for any editorial commercial purposes without model releases.
