Centre Staff Executive Director Information & Referral Coordinator Ext. 6998 Ext. 6859 [email protected] [email protected] Support Counsellor (Bilingual) Administrative Assistant Ext. 6844 Ext. 6859 [email protected] [email protected] Social Worker Outreach Ext. 6845 [email protected] 2 Joint Task Force North Command Team Welcome Congratulations on your upcoming posting to Canada’s North. Joint Task Force North is a family of Canadian Armed Forces personnel and DND civilian (Public and non-Public) personnel and their families across the three Territories. We exist to plan, conduct, and support operations and exercises in the largest CAF Region in Canada. You will soon realize that there are a wide variety of opportunities that come with service north of the 60th parallel. Joint Task Force (North) HQ (JTFN- HQ) is the command element and is located in Yellowknife, NT. To stay connected with other defense and security partners and with the other territorial governments, there are small JTFN-HQ detachments in both Whitehorse and Iqaluit. We refer to all CAF / DND elements in the North as “Team North” and we are extremely proud of our motto: Custos Borealis, or Guardians of the North. Beyond HQ JTFN, “Team North” is also comprised of the following Yellowknife based members; the Area Support Unit North (ASU (N)), the Royal Canadian Air Force’s 440 Transport Squadron (home of the Vampires), and the headquarters of the Canadian Army’s 1st Canadian Ranger Patrol Group (1CRPG), which exercises command and control over 1800 Rangers divided into patrols across 60 northern communities. 1CRPG also supports well as over 1600 Junior Canadian Rangers. Finally, we are home to the Army Reserve’s Loyal Edmonton Regiment (LER) as well as Cadet Corps in a number of locales. A posting to Canada’s north can be both rewarding and challenging. Expect the cost of living to be a bit higher than what you have previously experienced, and the quality of housing to be slightly lower than you may have had in the past. However, both of these facts are far outweighed by the opportunity to work and experience life in the most beautiful part(s) of our great country. For those that are moving to either Detachment Whitehorse, or Detachment Iqaluit, your experience will be unique, and your will find yourselves part of wider federal employee community in your respective territorial capitals. As a member “Team North” stationed in Yellowknife, you will have an opportunity and experience few members of the CAF are afforded. Not unlike other postings, a tour “north of 60” will be what you make of it. That said, there will many things you may not have expected; JTFN led Operations take place year round in either planning or execution phases. This, combined with an active support system through the MFRC and PSP staff, can make a tour in the north very rewarding and challenging. Additionally, you will find a very active Mess calendar and there will be a multitude of social opportunities for all ages. For those who enjoy the outdoors your tour with JTFN will prove one of your most memorable; the experience in the NWT should be exactly as the moto emblazoned on the NWT licence plate states, – SPECTACULAR! Have a safe and adventurous move to the north, and we look forward to meeting you and your family members once you are settled. Custos Borealis BGen Patrick Carpentier – Commander JTFN CWO Sherri Forward – Formation CWO 3 North of 60 MFRC Executive Director’s Welcome The Advisory Committee and Staff at the North of 60 MFRC extend, to you and your family, a warm welcome to the North. One of our goals is to assist military families with their transition to their new home and their Northern adventure. This handbook is just one tool to assist with this transition. Our friendly staff members are here to assist you and your family with accessing information within and about your new community. Upon request, a welcome package will be sent to you with additional local information on programs and services available to you. To get a sense of the goings on in Yellowknife and the North of 60 MFRC we encourage you to visit our website at www.cafconnection.ca/Yellowknife or by following us on Facebook at North of 60 MFRC. A few considerations for those of you posting in with children; it is advisable to look for childcare spaces immediately as it sometimes takes time to secure childcare for children under two years of age. A list of licensed daycares and day homes can be found here https://www.ece.gov.nt.ca/en/childcare. Please note that the North of 60 MFRC does not offer childcare services. Before school care is not offered in schools and is scarce within the community, some day home providers offer this service at an additional cost. Securing after school care is also challenging and should be looked into as soon as you’ve received your posting message. Registration for summer camps and fall recreation programs occurs early therefore it would be advisable to register for activities as soon as you receive your posting message or registration opens. Your North of 60 MFRC staff members are available to assist you with your individual family needs. We are available to answer any questions you may have about living in the North and a posting to Yellowknife. I encourage you and your family to contact us, with any questions you may have, at [email protected] or 873-0700 ext. 6859. Don’t be shy! We look forward serving you and your family!

Box 518 Yellowknife, NT X1A 2N4 Re: Health Canada Review of the Supporting Document N1 Tier 2 Risk Assessment, Giant Mine Remediation Plan (SENES, 2006) (The Report) Dear Ms. Dyer: Thank you very much for the opportunity to review and comment on the above mentioned report in support of the Giant Mine Remediation Plan. Health Canada Alberta region (HC-AB) recognizes the complexity associated with the historical land uses of the Giant Mine site (“the site”) area and thanks PWGSC for coordinating the review process of this remediation project under Federal Contaminated Sites Action Plan (FCSAP) program. HC-AB understands that the Giant Mine Remediation project is in the Environmental Assessment (EA) stage. Please note, under FCSAP program, HC-AB Contaminated Sites Division provides the following comments based on our review of the above report. General Comments: 1. On June 06, 2005, Health Canada forwarded comments to INAC based on the review of the December 2004 version of the Tier II Risk Assessment Report where five key issues were identified: (i) Toxicity Reference Endpoints; (ii) Receptor Characteristics ;(iii) Bioaccessibility of Arsenic in Soils;(iv) Risk Characterization and, (v) Conclusions. 2. Please note, an overall update of the risk assessment report may be necessary based on the additional environmental and site specific chemical datasets (if available since 2005-2006) to effectively evaluate and assess site specific exposure scenarios, and to modify and characterize human health risks (if applicable) and to further utilize updated results of sensitivity analysis during the discussions and scoping of the future risk management plans, overall remedial decisions and future sensitive land use discussion phases of the project.

  • Is LEED Certification Necessarily Better?

    Is LEED Certification Necessarily Better?

    A case study assessment of the energy consumption of LEED certified academic buildings in Ontario: Is LEED certification necessarily better? by Janine Vanry A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Environmental Studies in Sustainability Management Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2015 ©Janine Vanry 2015 Author’s Declaration 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 With “commercial and institutional buildings account[ing] for 12% of Canada’s secondary energy use and 11% of [the] national greenhouse gas emissions” (National Resources Canada, 2014), the energy consumption of Canada’s non-residential buildings plays a large role in both climate change and overall energy usage. Making these buildings more energy efficient provides opportunity to reduce both Canadian energy use and the overall effects of climate change from building construction and operation. The LEED New Construction v1 rating system stresses the importance of a building’s energy efficiency by designating 25% of its points towards energy reduction opportunities providing clear indication of the CaGBC’s belief in the potential for LEED certified buildings to reduce overall energy consumption in new buildings. As LEED certified buildings have been constructed for over a decade in Canada, there are opportunities to assess how these buildings are performing from an energy perspective in comparison to provincial averages. This study looks at LEED certified academic buildings in Ontario and evaluates their energy intensity in comparison to provincial survey averages, broad public sector data made available by the Green Energy Act, campus-wide energy intensities, and additionally assesses their actual energy performance in comparison to the modelled energy results submitted for final LEED certification.
