  • Game Notes – April 15, 2021 Game #9 Vancouver Giants Vs Victoria Royals
    GAME NOTES – APRIL 15, 2021 GAME #9 VANCOUVER GIANTS VS VICTORIA ROYALS THE STORY SO FAR – Heading into tonight’s game the Vancouver Giants are 5-3 and are ranked second in the B.C. Division standings. After an opening night loss to Kamloops on March 26th the Giants responded with five consecutive victories (one each against Kamloops, Kelowna, Prince George and two against Victoria). On Saturday April 10th that streak came to an end after a 6-3 loss to Prince George. Two nights later the Giants suffered a 4-1 loss to the same Cougars, and are now looking to halt a two-game losing streak when they take the ice tonight against Victoria. THE MATCHUP – Tonight marks the third of six meetings on the season between the Vancouver Giants and the Victoria Royals. So far this season the Vancouver Giants are 2-0 against Victoria having outscored them 11-8. Justin Sourdif leads all Giants with two goals and four assists for six points through two meetings with the Royals while Royals captain Tarun Fizer leads the Royals with a goal and three assists against Vancouver. The Giants and Royals have met each other in the playoffs in each of the previous two post-seasons, and would have met in 2020 were it not for the season being shut down because of COVID-19. MINER’S HISTORIC RUN – Giants goaltender Trent Miner became the Vancouver Giants all-time shutout minutes record holder last Wednesday thanks to spotless nine-save relief appearance against Victoria. Unfortunately that record came to an end on Saturday, April 10th against Prince George.

  • Field of Dreams: Strengthening Health Policy Scholarship in Canada
    Field of Dreams: Strengthening Health Policy Scholarship in Canada Symposium Summary Document June 2008 McMaster University Preface On November 2, 2007 CHEPA hosted an invitational symposium to reflect on the field of health policy in the Canadian context and to develop an action plan for strengthening it in the future. Thirty-five participants from across Canada attended the symposium, as well as two invited international speakers from the United States and the United Kingdom. The group comprised a mix of health policy educators and researchers, university Deans and graduate students, and current and former health policymakers. A background paper was circulated in advance of the meeting and is available from CHEPA upon request. Over the course of the one-day meeting, participants began a dialogue that covered the following topics: • Broad reflections on the evolution of the scholarly field of health policy in Canada and other jurisdictions; • Identification of major scholarly and applied contributions to health policy discourse; • Exploration of the field’s unrealized potential and areas requiring future attention; and • Specification of the basic building blocks for producing an action plan to strengthen Canada’s health policy research capacity and infrastructure. Several invited speakers catalysed discussion by offering reflections on international and Canadian health policy scholarship and practice. The morning plenary sessions informed small group discussions held in the afternoon to identify the supports required in the areas of research, education and community building and exchange to strengthen Canadian health policy scholarship. Each group was given a set of questions to address (Appendix 1) and reported back to the full symposium on their deliberations and concrete action items for carry forward following the symposium.

  • 2015 Annual Report
    streetohome.org A message from the Chair and CEO of Streetohome Foundation 2015 was a momentous year for the Streetohome Foundation. In all, Streetohome granted more than $12 million in funding - more than all previous years combined since our inception in 2008. Five new building projects provide supportive housing for adults and youth with mental health issues (The Kettle on Burrard); adults with mental health and addictions (Taylor Manor); Aboriginal adults and youth (Kwayasut); adults with more severe mental health and addictions challenges (111 Princess); and woman-led families and their children (The Budzey). In total, there will be 582 units of supportive housing that will provide homes for almost 650 vulnerable individuals. This impact would not have been possible without the generosity of our donors and the significant contributions from our partners, the City and the Province. When you add in the Vancouver Rent Bank (which provides short-term loans for those facing eviction or utility cut-off), Streetohome’s 2 Streetohome Annual Report impact is even greater this year having also prevented homelessness for 223 individuals, including 70 children. 2015 marked a shift for Streetohome, from what has essentially been a strong focus on leveraging supportive housing units in partnership with the Province and City, to Goal 2 in our 10-Year Plan for Vancouver. This involves developing a comprehensive approach to homelessness prevention that includes breaking the cycle of homelessness and helping individuals thrive. Work is underway to better understand the flow of individuals, from living on the street or residing in shelters, to living in supportive housing and ultimately moving on with their lives in terms of achieving their housing, employment and addiction recovery goals.
