  • Data Analysis for Sector Recommendations
    DISTRICT OF SQUAMISH DATA ANALYSIS FOR SECTOR RECOMMENDATIONS PREPARED FOR: FOREWORD The modern-day economy of Squamish has significantly evolved from a century ago when it was a southern railway terminus. Squamish was built on its foundation of logging and tourism stimulated by transportation and railway improvements, proximity to natural resources and regional markets, and the establishment of largescale, industrial manufacturing as well as deep-water break-bulk facilities. Squamish is on the cusp of monumental change and is well positioned to share in British Columbia’s (BC’s) leading economic and job growth for Canada. Squamish is leveraging its favorable geography, multitude of recreational assets and its quality of life amenities as part of its economic diversification strategy. Several emerging sectors have experienced firm and employment growth, including hospitality and tourism; knowledge-based industries and education; clean energy; high tech; media production; and light manufacturing. To build upon its current momentum, it is paramount that Squamish prioritize areas for economic growth with a strategic approach and efficient planning. This report focuses on target industries suited for driving community wealth and is the precursor to a more comprehensive action plan. This in turn, will provide insight to maximize the positive impact derived from these targeted industries. Economic Development Office, District of Squamish EXECUTIVE SUMMARY From 2017 to present, British Columbia has experienced Canada's highest economic and employment growth and lowest inflation. Gross Domestic Product in the province rose by 3.9% in 2017, up from 3.6% in 2016. Though natural resources, transportation/warehousing, construction, professional services, education and manufacturing are some of the largest job providers in B.C., the province has emerged as a leader in subsectors, at the intersection of traditional sectors and new technologies.

Relic Entertainment and SEGA Europe Ltd. today announced Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War III, the long-awaited third instalment of the critically-acclaimed real-time strategy franchise.

  • “It's Time to Kick A** and Chew Bubble Gum”: an Ideological Critique of Narrative in Action Games. Robert Cassar May 2014
    “It’s Time to Kick A** and Chew Bubble Gum”: An Ideological Critique of Narrative in Action Games. by Robert Cassar In Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Arts and Culture Newcastle University May 2014 Abstract If videogames are carriers of ideological frameworks which work in favour of certain groups in society, how are such meanings divulged? Despite the achievement of important landmarks the academic field of game studies is still rife with gaps which need to be addressed. Hence, this study aims to provide for this general lack of tools by offering for scrutiny the means to carry out a systematic and analytical narrative analysis of games. What is proposed here is a comprehensive set of theoretical as well as methodological tools to deal more effectively and empirically with the kind of narratives emerging in games. In order to identify and study these narratives, two tools have been selected, each one to be used for a specific objective. The tools in question are narrative and content analysis. Whilst the former is used to address the narrative dimension of the games in question, the latter is used to identify and define their ideological nuances. In this thesis it will be argued that this content is mostly dispersed through narrative. Though it has been argued many times that videogame narratives are infantile and poor reflections of film and novel forms of storytelling, they nonetheless contain within them the same capacity of the older forms to dispense or insinuate ideological content. As such videogames are both influenced by ideological principles as well as cultural distributors of the latter.
