  • Community Perspectives of Wellness in Manawan, an Atikamekw First Nation Community in Quebec, Canada: a Community-Based Participatory Research
    Community Perspectives of Wellness in Manawan, an Atikamekw First Nation Community in Quebec, Canada: A Community-Based Participatory Research Sonia Périllat-Amédée School of Human Nutrition, McGill University, Montreal April 2020 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Sciences Sonia Périllat-Amédée, April 2020 © Abstract Background: In 2018, the First Nation Atikamekw community of Manawan, in Quebec, participated in a Community Mobilization Training for the promotion of healthy lifestyles. Enhancement of community wellness was chosen as one of the measures to determine the impact of the community mobilization process. Wellness assessments tools tend to focus on measuring wellness at individual levels. Indigenous Peoples understand wellness wholistically and centered on social and natural relationships, and on community, thus wellness assessment should also be centered around these dimensions. Objectives: This research aimed to characterize concepts of wellness from youth, intervention workers, and Elders that could serve for community-specific wellness assessment. Methods: This community-based participatory research project employed concept mapping of wellness statements, which were generated through Photovoice with youth (n=6) and talking circles with intervention workers (n=9) and Elders (n=10). A final set of 84 wellness statements was selected and refined. Participants sorted each statement into thematic groups and rated them based on the priority of addressing the statement and the feasibility of implementing it. Concept maps were created using Concept Systems Global Max software based on sorting proximity and ratings calculations. Participants discussed the results at in-person interpretation sessions and named the wellness concept thematic groups.

  • Quantification Économique Des Externalités Liées Aux Intrants Agricoles De La Viticulture Au Canada Et Au Québec
    QUANTIFICATION ÉCONOMIQUE DES EXTERNALITÉS LIÉES AUX INTRANTS AGRICOLES DE LA VITICULTURE AU CANADA ET AU QUÉBEC. Par Sophie Bélair-Hamel Essai présenté au Centre universitaire de formation en environnement et développement durable en vue de l’obtention du grade de maître en environnement (M.Env.) Sous la direction de Monsieur Martin Comeau MAÎTRISE EN ENVIRONNEMENT UNIVERSITÉ DE SHERBROOKE Septembre 2017 SOMMAIRE Mots clés : viticulture, agriculture, biologique, conventionnelle, externalités, quantification, économique, pesticide, intrant de synthèse Au Québec comme au Canada, l’agriculture est très présente, autant par son histoire que par son influence économique, sociale et culturelle. Dans le contexte actuel, l’industrie agricole est importante comme secteur économique du pays, mais elle se doit d’intégrer des pratiques plus durables afin de protéger la société et l’environnement. Cet essai compare deux types d’agriculture, soit conventionnel et biologique. L’objectif principal de l’essai est de quantifier économiquement les externalités environnementales et sociales liées aux intrants agricoles en viticulture au Canada et au Québec. Pour ce faire, les impacts environnementaux, sociétaux et économiques des activités agricoles conventionnelles et biologiques ont été analysés et décrits. Puisque l’agriculture englobe plusieurs cultures, il s’avère important de différencier les pratiques propres à la viticulture et sa consommation d’intrants agricoles. Puisque l’industrie vinicole du Québec comporte des activités agricoles et des activités de transformation, ces deux volets ont été analysés séparément quant à leurs activités économiques. La quantification économique des externalités viticoles canadienne s’est inspirée en grande partie sur l’étude de l’ITAB publiée en 2016, ainsi que sur de nombreuses études scientifiques internationales.
