This is PSAC Prairies’ first-ever virtual convention. I know this convention will look much different this year and that there are a number of you who are disappointed that we could not be together face-to-face. I share that disappointment. We’ve all missed out on a significant amount of in-person connection and our convention is no different. However, the safety of PSAC members and staff is of the utmost importance. Despite the challenges we faced hosting our regional convention, I am thrilled that we are finally able to come together and participate in this important democratic process, in whatever way we are able to do so. PSAC Prairies is working with Encore in order to host the convention in an online format. Encore has a lot of experience hosting union conventions and has provided numerous customizations that have enabled us to replicate as many aspects of a typical convention as possible. To help you get accustomed to the new online platform, there will be a training session in advance of convention on Monday, June 21, 2021 at 12:00 p.m. for Alberta/Saskatchewan members and 1:00 p.m. for Manitoba members. Registered delegates and observers will be able to log on and get familiar with the platform in order to hit the ground running from the start of our convention. Typically, convention is a time for members across the Prairies to meet and network with each other. This will still be possible through the chat function outside of plenary hours and I encourage attendees to take advantage of this feature. Convention has been extended to four days, with 4.5 hours of session per day. The sessions are set up in 90-minute segments with breaks in-between. In this booklet, you will find the agenda and revised rules of order to better reflect the functioning of virtual regional conventions, as well as additional materials to assist with your participation on the virtual convention platform. While we are doing everything we can to ensure convention runs smoothly, there will likely be some glitches to work through. However, the priority is to ensure that members in the Prairies are able to participate in the democratic process in a way that is as close to an in-person event as possible. With some patience and understanding, I’m confident that we can do the business we need to do to ensure our members are well served by our union. Happy convention to all attendees! In Solidarity, Marianne Hladun, Regional Executive Vice-President, PSAC Prairies 5 ur union is made strong by members working together to improve our working lives and Oto preserve the rights that we have struggled to achieve. Mutual respect is the cornerstone of this cooperation. The PSAC Constitution confirms that every member, staff person and non-staff support people (e.g., technicians, interpreters, etc.) are entitled to be free from discrimination and harassment, both in the union and at the workplace, on the basis of age, sex, colour, national or ethnic origin, race, religion, marital status, family status, criminal record, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, language, social and economic class or political belief. Members, staff, and non-staff support people are also entitled to be free from psychological harassment. Content displayed or posted on the event platform, as well as any and all discussions on the platform, shall be respectful. Conflict, in and of itself, does not constitute harassment. Rather, harassment includes online bullying, content or language that is threatening, abusive, defamatory, obscene, indecent or objectionable on the event platform and on any other related electronic network. To be clear, content or discussion of a racist, sexist, ableist, homophobic, transphobic, or otherwise discriminatory nature will not be tolerated or accepted. Content and discussion must not be offensive, graphically in tone or in nature. Should you experience harassment at this event, contact the identified Anti-Harassment Resource Person to discuss the situation. Early and informal resolution processes are strongly encouraged. Whenever possible, members are expected to engage in a respectful dialogue to resolve the matter. The Anti-Harassment Resource Person is available to facilitate this discussion. If this conversation is neither successful nor possible, the appropriate process as outlined in harassment policies, guidelines, collective agreements, the Constitution and/or regulations will be fully and quickly engaged. Harassment in all its forms, detracts from our common purpose and weakens our union. May each one of us treat each other with kindness, compassion, dignity and respect. For assistance, please contact an Anti-Harassment Resource Person: Lindsey Sparks or Karoline Klug Complaints-Plaintes@psac-afpc.com Toll free #: 1-844-753-0062 STATEMENT ON HARASSMENT STATEMENT 6 VIRTUAL RULES OF ORDER VIRTUAL t the February 2021 National Board of Directors meeting, revised rules of order and statementA on harassment for virtual regional conventions were discussed and passed by the PSAC National Board of Directors. These revised rules of order and the statement on harassment for virtual regional conventions are to be used across our union for all virtual conventions and conferences. The standard PSAC rules of order and statement on harassment were adapted to reflect the virtual environment of our events. CONVENTION PROCEDURES 1.

  • Watershed Stewardship in Alberta: a Directory of Stewardship Groups, Support Agencies, and Resources
    WATERSHED STEWARDSHIP IN ALBERTA: A DIRECTORY OF STEWARDSHIP GROUPS, SUPPORT AGENCIES AND RESOURCES APRIL 2005 INTRODUCTION FOREWORD This directory of WATERSHED STEWARDSHIP IN ALBERTA has been designed to begin a process to meet the needs of individuals, stewardship groups, and support agencies (including all levels of government, non- governmental organizations, and industry). From recent workshops, surveys, and consultations, community- based stewards indicated a need to be better connected with other stewards doing similar work and with supporting agencies. They need better access to information, technical assistance, funding sources, and training in recruiting and keeping volunteers. Some groups said they felt isolated and did not have a clear sense that the work they were doing was important and appreciated by society. A number of steps have occurred recently that are beginning to address some of these concerns. The Alberta Stewardship Network, for example, has been established to better connect stewards to each other and to support agencies. Collaboration with other provincial and national networks (e.g. Canada’s Stewardship Communities Network) is occurring on an on-going basis. Internet-based information sites, such as the Stewardship Canada Portal (www.stewardshipcanada.ca), are being established to provide sources of information, linkages to key organizations, and newsletters featuring success stories and progress being made by grassroots stewards. These sites are being connected provincially and nationally to keep people informed with activities across Canada. The focus of this directory is on watershed stewardship groups working in Alberta. The term ‘watershed’ is inclusive of all stewardship activities occurring on the landscape, be they water, air, land, or biodiversity-based.

  • Closure of Streets, Roads, Or Lanes
    Page 1 of 5 PROCEDURE NO. 015 (2009} Prepared/Amended by: Shanon Simon Manager Approve Municipal Secretary Date: ~/<::::.. TOPIC: CLOSURE OF STREETS, ROADS OR LANES Purpose: To regulate and control the closure of streets, roads and/or lanes within the boundaries of the Town of Redcliff as provided for in the Municipal Government Act R.S.A. 1994, chapter M-1, Section 22. To promote orderly development and utility servicing within the Town of Redcliff, or facilitate creation of lots or parcels for sale, as it relates to roadways. To provide proper process, advice and background on applications for the closure of roadways. Procedure: 1. Typically there are two reasons for requiring the closure of a roadway. a) Preparing land for future subdivision and development of land. (Typically this would involve re-opening a road structure with alternate routing at a future time through the subdivision process.) b) For the purpose of acquisition of a portion of the road or lane, creating a titled property for use as is, or for being consolidated to an adjacent property. 2. When the request is for the purpose of using/acquiring the closed portion of a roadway, and there is no intention for the road or lane to be reopened in an alternate location, the matter should first be forwarded to Committee of the Whole Council. They (Committee of the Whole Council) will then provide their opinion on whether they would like to have Administration initiate the formal process to close the roadway for the purpose of it being sold. By getting this initial opinion, if the proposal were unacceptable, it would save the need for an application, advertising, and the administrative process related to initiating a closure.

It should be noted that the ideas of former President of the Bundesarchiv, Hans Booms3, inspired Canadian Terry Cook, the father of macro-appraisal -which has been the appraisal approach of my institution since 1991. “If there is indeed anything or anyone qualified to lend legitimacy to archival appraisal,” Hans Booms wrote in 1972, ‘it is society itself….”4 As Cook asserts, Booms was “perhaps the first 1 This Paper was delivered on 15 October 2019 at the Conference: “Kriegsfolgenarchivgut: Entschädigung, Lasten- ausgleich und Wiedergutmachung in Archivierung und Forschung” hosted by the Bundesarchiv, at the Bundesar- chiv-Lastenausgleichsarchiv, Bayreuth, Germany.
