In 2007, United Way’s fundraising campaign reached historic heights thanks to the hundreds and thousands of caring organizations, families and individuals across our city who believe together, we can make a difference. Their shared vision for a healthier Toronto enables United Way and our network of agencies to reach out across our city and into our communities to strengthen neighbourhoods and improve lives. This Honour Roll applauds the individuals and organizations whose outstanding leadership and generosity make Toronto a better city. This publication is just one small way of saying thank you for building a better future for us all. Without you, there would be no way. United Way Toronto 2007 Honour Roll 1 United Way is based on the firm conviction that what unites us is ultimately more powerful than what divides us; a sentiment made evident by Toronto’s collective efforts over the last year. In 2007, Toronto came together to raise a record-breaking $108.1 million for United Way—speaking volumes of the shared commitment and compassion for our city’s health and well-being. The generosity of donors and organizations listed in the pages of this publication plays a vital role in supporting the social fabric that holds our city together. Thanks to this tremendous support, a network of agencies across our city delivers vital services that strengthen individuals, families and communities, creating opportunities for a better life for all. Youth Frances Lankin are provided with more opportunities for educational attainment; newcomers are given training to help make their dreams of a new life become a reality; and neighbourhoods are improved through expanded social services, making our communities healthier places to work, live and raise a family. Throughout this Honour Roll you will find profiles of some of our generous supporters who gave back to the community through their compassionate nature and giving spirit. Although these donors all have different reasons to give, they are united by one common purpose: a strong personal responsibility to build a better future for our city. We thank them for allowing us into their hearts and their lives so that we can tell their stories and commend them for their leadership and generosity. We would also like to extend our appreciation to Ernst & Young, KPMG and The Globe and Mail for their sponsorship of this year’s Honour Roll. Their support of this publication is a powerful example of their dedication to social responsibility and support of our community. Without their commitment, this publication would not be possible. Thank you again to our sponsors and all of our extraordinary donors who are making a difference. Without you, there would be no way. Frances Lankin President and Chief Executive Officer, United Way Toronto I am honoured to be able to express my sincere thanks to the generous people and organizations listed in United Way’s 2007 Honour Roll.

Each of you and the organizations listed in this publication have made a significant investment in our community and are leading the way to a better future for our city. You understand that your dollars truly do make a difference every single day, enabling United Way and its network of agencies to deliver vital programs and services that strengthen individuals, families and communities who need our support. Your commitment helps United Way to be the community building organization that it is today. Bill MacKinnon As a long-standing volunteer with United Way, it always inspires me to see Torontonians coming together year after year to give back to their community. I am proud to be part of a group of like-minded people and organizations that have such a strong sense of social responsibility and compassion for our city and fellow residents. I look forward to working with you on the 2008 campaign to support your outstanding efforts and vision of a better Toronto. Your leadership is proof that together, we can create lasting and positive change in our city. Without United Way’s generous supporters, there would be no way. Bill MacKinnon Chief Executive Officer, KPMG LLP 2008 Campaign Chair David Denison Robert Brouwer Eric Tripp Thanks to the outstanding generosity and dedication of our donors, United Way Toronto was able to achieve what many thought was impossible, raising a record-breaking $108.1 million in 2007, $1.3 million more than the previous year. The contribution and commitment from Leadership donors was considerable. More than $48.5 million came from Leadership donors, including $21.7 million from gifts of $10,000 or more. Leadership giving of $1,000 or more now represents 48 per cent of our total annual campaign achievement. Thanks to the outstanding generosity of Leadership donors, United Way can do more to create positive, lasting change that will impact all parts of our city—change that would not be possible without this level of support. Their significant contributions are an investment in our city’s health and well-being and will improve hundreds of thousands of lives, now and for generations to come.

  • Canada's Parliament
    Foreign Policy White Papers and the Role of Canada’s Parliament: Paradoxical But Not Without Potential Gerald J. Schmitz Principal analyst, international affairs Parliamentary Information and Research Service Library of Parliament, Ottawa Annual Meeting of the Canadian Political Science Association University of Western Ontario, London Panel on “International and Defence Policy Review” 3 June 2005 Note: This paper developed out of remarks to a conference in Quebec City in May 2004 on the subject of white-paper foreign policy management processes, and is a pre- publication draft of an article for the fall 2005 issue of Études internationales. The views expressed are the author’s alone. Please do not cite without permission. Introduction to the Paradoxical Actor on the Hill The observations that follow draw on several decades of direct experience working with that paradoxical, and sometimes overlooked, actor in the foreign policy development process, namely Canada’s Parliament. During that time concerns about the alleged weaknesses of parliamentary oversight of the executive have become a commonplace complaint. They seem also to be a staple assumption in the academic discourse on Canadian foreign policy, when the legislative role merits any mention at all. (Frequently it does not.) Yet if one believes the renewed rhetoric emanating from high places about redressing “democratic deficits” in the Canadian body politic, this was all supposed to change. At the end of 2003, a new prime minister ushering in a new management regime, or at least a different style of governing, said that he and his government were committed to changing the way things work in Ottawa.

  • Stronger Together
    Stronger Together Ashley Lam Grade Seven, Colonel Irvine School Word Count:1188 Being born at the Peter Lougheed Hospital in Calgary about thirteen years ago, little did I know that the man behind the namesake of the hospital would have such an impact on my life and the lives of fellow Albertans. Honourable Edgar Peter Lougheed once said, "I'm a community person, I think in terms of community before individual. That's the essence of Albertans and to a large extent that's the essence of Canadians as well.” He demonstrated this belief through his contributions to medical research, political actions and views, and his ability to lead the province of Alberta to strength and prosperity. Honorable Edgar Peter Lougheed was born on July 26th, 1928 in Calgary, Alberta and passed away from natural causes in 2012. Grandson to Sir James Alexander Lougheed, an early senator and accomplished businessman, Mr. Lougheed was destined for greatness. While studying at the University of Alberta he received a BA in 1951 and a LLB in 1952. Later earning a MBA from Harvard University. He then practised law in Calgary, until he joined the Mannix corporation, one of Canada’s largest construction business. Quickly moving up to the rank of vice president then director. In 1965 Peter Lougheed was the elected leader of a small political party, the Progressive Conservatives. At the time the Progressive Conservatives did not have a single seat in the legislature. The start of a strong political party in legislature seemed unlikely. That is until Mr. Lougheed led the party to victory in the 1967 election.

  • Front Matter
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-41607-8 - Self and Salvation: Being Transformed David F. Ford Frontmatter More information Self and Salvation Being Transformed This eagerly awaited book by David F.Ford makes a unique and important contribution to the debate about the Christian doctrine of salvation. Using the pivotal image of the face, Professor Ford offers a constructive and contemporary account of the self being transformed. He engages with three modern thinkers (Levinas, Jüngel and Ricoeur) in order to rethink and reimagine the meaning of self. Developing the concept of a worshipping self, he goes on to explore the dimensions of salvation through the lenses of scripture, worship practices, the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and the lives of contemporary saints. He uses different genres and traditions to show how the self flourishes through engagement with God, other people, and the responsibilities and joys of ordinary living. The result is a habitable theology of salvation which is immersed in Christian faith, thought and practice while also being deeply involved with modern life in a pluralist world. David F.Ford is Regius Professor of Divinity in the University of Cambridge, where he is also a Fellow of Selwyn College and Chairman of the Centre for Advanced Religious and Theological Studies. Educated at Trinity College Dublin, St John’s College Cambridge, YaleUniversity and Tübingen University,he has taught previously at the University of Birmingham. Professor Ford’s publications include Barth and God’s Story: Biblical Narrative and the Theological Method of Karl Barth in the Church Dogmatics (1981), Jubilate: Theology in Praise (with Daniel W.Hardy,1984), Meaning and Truth in 2 Corinthians (with F.M.

  • 2003 Annual Report
    Labour Community Services of Toronto 2003 Annual Report Labour Community Services is a project of the Toronto and York Region Labour Council in partnership with the United Way of Greater Toronto Message from the President of the Board of Labour Community Services It was the best of times, it was the worst of times… The opening line from Charles Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities could easily describe the reality of Toronto today. With dramatic changes of politics at Queen’s Park and City Hall, there is a new sense of optimism in the air. Finally, we can start to rebuild our city, its schools, and its social infrastructure that has been crumbling over the last number of years. Yet at the same time poverty, the lack of affordable housing, and the rise of precarious employment strip that optimism away for too many in our community. Family incomes have plummeted and inequality has increased. People of colour, newcomers to Canada and residents of Toronto’s inner suburbs are particularly hard hit. These challenges were front and centre in two recent reports. The United Way’s Poverty by Postal Code: The Geography of Neighbourhood Poverty, 1981-2001 charts the dramatic rise and intensification in the number of high-poverty neighbourhoods. The report points to the acute crisis affecting one in five Toronto families. The Community Social Planning Council’s Falling Fortunes: A Report on the Status of Young Families in Toronto makes the clear connection between diminished job opportunities and the growth of poverty. Both call out for action and increased resources.

    The Right to Authentic Political Communication by Ann Elizabeth Rees M.A., Simon Fraser University, 2005 B.A., Simon Fraser University, 1980 Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of Communication Faculty of Arts and Social Science Ann Elizabeth Rees 2016 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Spring 2016 Approval Name: Ann Elizabeth Rees Degree: Doctor of Philosophy Title: The Right to Authentic Political Communication Examining Committee: Chair: Katherine Reilly, Assistant Professor Peter Anderson Senior Supervisor Associate Professor Catherine Murray Supervisor Professor Alison Beale Supervisor Professor Andrew Heard Internal Examiner Associate Professor Political Science Department Paul Thomas External Examiner Professor Emeritus Department of Political Studies University of Manitoba Date Defended/Approved: January 22, 2016 ii Abstract Increasingly, governments communicate strategically with the public for political advantage, seeking as Christopher Hood describes it to “avoid blame” and “claim credit” for the actions and decisions of governance. In particular, Strategic Political Communication (SPC) is becoming the dominant form of political communication between Canada’s executive branch of government and the public, both during elections and as part of a “permanent campaign” to gain and maintain public support as means to political power. This dissertation argues that SPC techniques interfere with the public’s ability to know how they are governed, and therefore undermines the central right of citizens in a democracy to legitimate elected representation by scrutinizing government and holding it to account. Realization of that right depends on an authentic political communication process that provides citizens with an understanding of government. By seeking to hide or downplay blameworthy actions, SPC undermines the legitimation role public discourse plays in a democracy.

  • The Slaight Family Foundation Donates $15 Million To
    THE SLAIGHT FAMILY FOUNDATION DONATES $15 MILLION TO UNITED WAY GREATER TORONTO • Largest individual gift in United Way Greater Toronto history • Allan Slaight Seniors Fund will help seniors connect to their communities June 26, 2019 -- A $15-million donation from The Slaight Family Foundation to United Way Greater Toronto is breaking new ground in support for seniors as the largest individual gift in United Way’s history. The Allan Slaight Seniors Fund will connect vulnerable seniors with community support to help them remain in their own homes and continue to be vital, active participants in our neighbourhoods. A first of its kind, the fund bridges the gap between the healthcare system and families by connecting seniors to United Way’s network of community agencies. This $15-million gift over six years will focus on seniors who have difficulty accessing health and social services because of poverty or other barriers. At a time that can often be isolating, community agencies provide a critical circle of support to help seniors stay healthy longer, and close to home. United Way’s network of social, recreation and peer programs is aimed at reducing the isolation many seniors experience. Outreach programs help seniors navigate the health and community services they need to stay healthy and engaged. The Allan Slaight Seniors Fund will expand this network of supports and make it easier to access supports by coordinating programs available in the community, and integrating services. “The Slaight family are game-changers,” said Daniele Zanotti, President & CEO, United Way Greater Toronto. “In 2009, the family broke ground with a foundational gift to United Way’s Youth Challenge Fund.

  • If We Could All Be Peter Lougheed” Provincial Premiers and Their Legacies, 1967-2007 1
    “If we could all be Peter Lougheed” Provincial premiers and their legacies, 1967-2007 1 J.P. Lewis Carleton University [email protected] Paper for Presentation at The Annual Meeting of the Canadian Political Science Association Concordia University, Montreal June 2010 Introduction For a variety of reasons, the careers of Canadian provincial premiers have escaped explicit academic attention. Premiers are found frequently in Canadian political science literature, but more for direct roles and actions – in questions of the constitution, federalism, public policy and electoral and legislative studies – instead of longitudinal study and analysis. This fits a pattern of neglect in the field; some academics have lamented the lack of direct attention to provincial politics and history (Brownsey and Howlett 2001). The aggregate imprints of premiers are relatively ignored outside of regional and provincial treatments. No pan- Canadian assessment of premiers exists, and probably for good reason. The theoretical and methodological concerns with asking general research questions about premiers are plenty; leadership theory and historical approaches provide some foundations but any approach is going to confront conceptual challenges. This is where this study is found – in a void of precedents but a plethora of qualitative data. 2 Regardless of methodological challenges, some historians, political scientists and members of the media have not shied away from ranking and assessing national leaders. Some of the more popular treatments (from the popular culture version to the more academic approach) include Ferguson’s Bastards and Boneheads , Granatstein and Hillmer’s Prime Ministers: Ranking Canada’s Leaders , and Bliss’s Right Honourable Men . Bliss (xiv), the esteemed historian, is skeptical of such endeavours, “While this is Canadian history from Parliament Hill, I am not a Hegelian and I do not believe that political leaders, least of all prime ministers of Canada, are personifications of the world spirit.
