    THE LIMITS TO INFLUENCE: THE CLUB OF ROME AND CANADA, 1968 TO 1988 by JASON LEMOINE CHURCHILL A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2006 © Jason Lemoine Churchill, 2006 Declaration AUTHOR'S DECLARATION FOR ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION OF A THESIS I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This dissertation is about influence which is defined as the ability to move ideas forward within, and in some cases across, organizations. More specifically it is about an extraordinary organization called the Club of Rome (COR), who became advocates of the idea of greater use of systems analysis in the development of policy. The systems approach to policy required rational, holistic and long-range thinking. It was an approach that attracted the attention of Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. Commonality of interests and concerns united the disparate members of the COR and allowed that organization to develop an influential presence within Canada during Trudeau’s time in office from 1968 to 1984. The story of the COR in Canada is extended beyond the end of the Trudeau era to explain how the key elements that had allowed the organization and its Canadian Association (CACOR) to develop an influential presence quickly dissipated in the post- 1984 era. The key reasons for decline were time and circumstance as the COR/CACOR membership aged, contacts were lost, and there was a political paradigm shift that was antithetical to COR/CACOR ideas.

  • Municipal Register of Cultural Heritage Resources Designated Under the Ontario Heritage Act
    Municipal Register of Cultural Heritage Resources Designated Under the Ontario Heritage Act Designated Properties Last Updated: 2021 1 Background In Ontario, the conservation of cultural heritage resources is considered a matter of public interest. Significant heritage resources must be conserved. The Ontario Heritage Act gives municipalities and the provincial government powers to preserve the heritage of Ontario. The primary focus of the Act is the protection of heritage buildings, cultural landscapes and archaeological sites. The Ontario Heritage Act enables municipalities to designate such properties if they hold “cultural heritage value or interest”. Municipal heritage designations are enacted by City Council through the passing of a by-law. Once a property is designated, it gains public recognition as well as a measure of protection from demolition or unsympathetic alteration. Designation helps guide future change to the property so that the cultural heritage value of the property can be maintained. There are two types of designation under the Ontario Heritage Act: designation of individual properties (known as Part IV designation), and designation of unique and important streetscapes, areas or "heritage conservation districts" (known as Part V designation). Any real property that has cultural heritage value or interest can be designated, including houses, barns, factories, cemeteries, parks, bridges, trees, gardens, hedgerows, fences, monuments, churches, woodlots, historic sites and the list goes on. Heritage designation is based on provincially regulated criteria (Ontario Heritage Act, O. Reg. 9/06), which includes design or physical value, historical or associative value, and/or contextual value. Heritage designation can be based on meeting one or more of these three broad criteria.

    Vol. 17 No. 25 April 22, 1993 Student would like play to raise environmental and native awareness Whisper DI hope tor native theatre Jules Koostachin Galipeau is hoping her play, Earth Whispers, will h~lp kick-start native theatre in Montreal. The play is co~written, produced and di­ rected by Galipeau. She also plays drums during the performance. A second-year Theatre major, the 20-year old said she wants "to spread native aware­ ness - to show that there are native artists out there. I want to start native theatre in Montreal." Earth Whispers opens today, April 22 - Earth Day - for a four-day run at the Cazalet Theatre on the Loyola Campus. Although the play is not based on a par­ ticular legend, it draws on the mythologies of several native traditions. "This myth is more a combination of everything I know," said Galipeau, a Cree from Moose Factory in northern Ontario. "It's a strange story; it's beautiful, it's really beautiful." In the play, Earth and Wind form a primor­ dial couple and the four peoples of the planet - red, yellow, white and black - spring from them. The earth's children dis­ perse, but, forgetting their roots and losing respect for the earth, they poison their mother. Eventually they are made to see the error of their ways, and an eagle sits in a spirit tree to watch over the four peoples. Galipeau said Earth Whispers is universal in that it doesn't use language. Instead the story is told through sound and movement. In Jules Koostachln Galipeau's play Earth Whispers, which opens tonight at the Caza let Theatre She hopes the accessibility of the play will on the Loyola Campus, the characters Earth and Wind produce the four peoples of the world, encourage parents to bring along their chil­ who later turn on them with poison.
