Payment will be made after SNC Spring Nationals in April 2010. It is the responsibility of the athlete (or their family) to notify Swim Ontario with proof of athlete residence and training conditions. • Out of Province Swimmers: SNC Senior Carded Swimmers+: Can apply to Swim Ontario to receive up to 50% of the funding regardless of their place of residence. • Competition Schedule: Funding is released once the coach of each carded swimmer submits a Competition Schedule to the Provincial Mentor Coach of Swim Ontario by the SNC Canada Cup in November of 2009. • NCAA Eligibility: The onus is entirely on the athlete (and their family) to determine the impact of accepting Ontario Carding funding on current or future NCAA eligibility and deciding whether or not to accept Ontario Carding funding. Performance: • If after two carding periods (two full short course and long course seasons), the swimmer has failed to improve on their fastest previous Carding time, or FINA rating in another event, the swimmer will be removed from the carding program. The swimmer is eligible to re-qualify at the next carding opportunity, by achieving a time that is faster than their previous carded time or achieving a higher FINA point score in another Olympic event. Swimmers who score above 920 FINA points are exempt from the Performance Criteria. • Attendance at the 2010 Swim Ontario Senior Provincial Championships for at least two sessions is compulsory for all “In Province” carded swimmers. • Fitness must be proven at the 2010 Swim Ontario Senior Provincial Championship or a competition deemed acceptable by the Swim Ontario Provincial Mentor Coach. • Fitness is defined as achieving a FINA SC or LC points rating in any Olympic event within 50 points of the LC rating used to earn their carding. E.g. carding time is 52.03 LC = 800 FINA points. Therefore the swimmer must score 750 or more FINA SC or LC points. Failure to satisfy both the Attendance and Fitness criteria will omit an In Province carded swimmer from receiving the second half of their carding. Eligibility: • Must be a Canadian Citizen or a Permanent Resident. • Must be eligible to represent Canada at major international games. • Must represent an Ontario Club during domestic SNC National level competitions. • Must be registered, and in good standing with, Swim Ontario and Swimming/Natation Canada during the Carding Selection period. • All Ontario swimmers carded by SNC are eligible for Ontario carding. • Athletes who register with, and/or represent, another Provincial Association are ineligible. 2 • + SNC Senior Carded Swimmers: Must include in the application a description of how the funds will be utilized and a letter of support from the Coach of Record supporting the application. Exemptions to the Attendance and Fitness Guidelines for “In Province Swimmers” may be requested by submitting a detailed letter from both the coach and the athlete, outlying the reason(s) for an exemption to be made. If accepted, carding may be withheld until the athlete meets the criteria at a mutually acceptable competition. If the exemption is denied, the next eligible swimmer will be moved into the carding program. *Please note that “Out of Province” carded swimmers receive a prorated amount; the remaining funds are not transferable to another athlete during the swimming year. Tie Breaking Rules: • The current IPS System will be used to determine the winner. • An international performance (provided the qualification standard for the international meet is higher than SNC Senior National Standards) takes precedence over a domestic performance. • Final swim takes precedence over a B-Final/Semi-final or heat swim. • A semi-final/B final will be considered equal and will take precedence over a heat swim. • An Individual swim will take precedence over a relay lead-off • Position of finish in the race will be the final determinant if a tie remains 3.

  • 2021-06-15 Joint TPP Complaint Final
    Vancouver Police Board 2120 Cambie Street Vancouver, BC V56 4N6 Via Email June 15, 2021 Dear Police Board Members, RE: Service & Policy Complaint Regarding the VPD Trespass Prevention Program On January 28, 2021, a group of seven Indigenous, women’s, Downtown Eastside and legal organizations voiced their opposition to the Trespass Prevention Program.1 Despite the concerns raised, the Trespass Prevention program has not been cancelled. We understand that businesses and stratas are still able to qualify for the program, which authorizes all police officers of the Vancouver Police Department (VPD) to act as authorized representatives and take enforcement action based on VPD officers’ reasonable belief that the person is acting in contravention to the BC Trespass Act.2 Further to the statement issued in January 2021, we are now filing a Service and Policy Complaint in accordance with s. 168 of British Columbia’s Police Act. 1 https://www.pivotlegal.org/end_trespass_prevention_program 2 Vancouver Police Department, “Trespass Prevention Program” intake form (Appendix A) In light of the reviews initiated by the Director of Police Services into how the VPD board handled a previous service and policy complaint,3 we expect the board to consider the relevant and available findings of the review(s) in its response to this complaint. Complaint Specifically, we are writing to complain about the inappropriate creation of the Trespass Prevention Program (TPP), as reported by the VPD in a report dated October 19, 2020.4 Based on VPD Report 2010C02, the VPD describes a TPP as an initiative that was recently launched, “which gives police written consent from the property owner to move along unwanted parties from private property.”5 We submit that the lack of transparency about how the TPP has been initiated and managed highlights fundamental problems related to the general direction and management of the VPD as well as the inadequacy and inappropriateness of VPD internal procedures and policies.

  • Policing and Surveilling the Black Community in Toronto, Canada, 1992-2016
    From the Yonge Street Riot to the Carding Controversy: Policing and Surveilling the Black Community in Toronto, Canada, 1992-2016 By Maria Kyres A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate Program in Cultural Studies in Conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada September, 2017 Copyright © Maria Kyres Abstract In the last decade, the conversation surrounding racial profiling and carding in the city of Toronto garnered much public and scholarly attention. Many journalists, academics and activists have examined the Community Contacts Policy, also known as carding, as well as mass incarceration and the police shootings and killings of unarmed, young Black men. The Yonge Street Uprising and the carding controversy in Toronto serve as two case studies to explore the ways that Black men have been disproportionately profiled, policed and surveilled in this country, particularly in the province of Ontario. Despite the fact that the Yonge Street Uprising and the carding controversy occurred decades apart, a common thread throughout both cases was the narrative of Black male criminality. In addition, it became apparent that many of the practices employed in contemporary society, such as racial profiling, carding and mass incarceration were derived from slavery, with the goal of limiting the freedom and mobility of Black people. Therefore, an examination of Canada’s historical treatment of Black people is necessary in order to demonstrate how practices rooted in slavery, such as, fugitive slave advertisements and historical representations of Black criminality helped inform current police practices. Through an analysis of historical, legal, criminological, and critical race scholarship, this work seeks to examine how and why Black people, specifically Black men, were and continue to be disproportionately more likely to be policed, surveilled and incarcerated.

Sociology Publications. 47. https://ir.lib.uwo.ca/sociologypub/47 Street Checks: What the Literature Doesn’t Tell Us Prof. Laura Huey, University of Western Ontario Introduction In response to a request I received on the state of research concerning street checks1, I attempted to conduct a systematic review (SR) of the published research literature. This SR was intended to address the following questions: 1. Are street checks effective in deterring crimes? 2. Are street checks effective in solving past crimes? 3. What is the present state of the Canadian research literature on street checks? As there were too few studies to address each question2 – and several of the studies are highly limited due to methodological issues – instead of conducting a meta-analysis or a fully developed systematic review, I have opted to provide a brief narrative analysis in response to each of the questions posed. Method of Inquiry To address the research questions posed above, I have conducted a systematic review (SR) of the research literature on street checks. A SR is a technique for “finding, sifting, sorting and synthesizing the findings of primary evaluations relevant to particular interventions” (Johnson et al. 2015: 460). In advance of beginning the finding phase of research, the researcher constructs a set of questions to be answered, as well as a set of well-defined inclusion and exclusion criteria 1 A proactive policing initiative also known as ‘carding,’ ‘stop and frisk’, ‘SQF (stop, question and frisk’ and ‘stop and search.’ 2 For Question 1, I identified 9 (n=9) relevant articles.

  • Hamilton on Hello My Name Is Janna Watkins I Am an Independent
    From: To: Stevenson, Kirsten Subject: Fwd: Policing and Systemic Racism in Hamilton Date: Thursday, June 11, 2020 11:17:24 AM Attachments: Supporting Document.pdf Hamilton ON Hello My name is Janna Watkins I am an independent Hairstylist, Yoga Teacher and former small business owner in Hamilton. I am sending this letter to show my support for and endorsement of the demands made last week by black and racialized activists regarding the policing of black and racialized communities in Hamilton. I've attached a document outlining their demands and some links to articles and studies supporting why you should seriously consider doing your part to have them met. It is important to listen to the voices and experiences of those you claim to serve. This can be a big step for that and can be an opportunity for Hamilton to set a positive example in this time of a global pandemic, and growing inquiries and understanding of Canada's racist roots. Thank you for your time, your labour and consideration Janna Watkins To those invested in taking tangible action to eliminate white supremacy in the institutions they work in and benefit from, Earlier this month, black and racialized organizers across the city made a list of specific demands addressing local institutions in the municipality of Hamilton, Ontario, the colonially occupied lands of the Erie, Neutral, Huron-Wendat, Mississaugas, Haudensaunee and Anishnaabeg. Here are those demands: City Hall: 1. We call on the City of Hamilton to defund Hamilton Police Services (HPS) (1-3, 11, 12). 2. We call on the City of Hamilton to invest the tax dollars that would have otherwise gone to the policing sector to be delegated towards initiatives fighting food insecurity, racism and affordable housing & social services (4, 9-10, 15, 19, 36, 43, 44).

  • Ottawa Police Deny 'Carding'
    Ottawa police deny 'carding' BY MOHAMMED ADAM, THE OTTAWA CITIZENJULY 15, 2012 Criminology and criminal justice professor Darryl T. Davies says he fears Ottawa police are collecting information on innocent people. Photograph by: James Park, The Ottawa Citizen Are the police in Ottawa collecting personal information on innocent people without their knowledge and using it against them? That question is at the heart of a dispute between a Carleton University criminologist and the Ottawa police that has spawned a complaint to the Office of the Independent Police Review Director, a provincial watchdog that investigates police behaviour. Darryl Davies, a Carleton criminal justice professor, claims that the Ottawa police routinely collect personal information on people they encounter, including those who’ve never been arrested, charged or involved in any crime, and store it for future use or reference. He says information on people who’ve not broken the law should not be kept by the police, and he wants the practice — generally known as carding — curbed, or subjected to stringent oversight. The controversial practice is used by police forces in Toronto and New York, where some have criticized it as being discriminatory, because most of those carded are minorities. But it has never been an issue here; and while the city’s police flatly deny that they employ the tactic, a recent incident involving one of Davies’s students has left the professor with the strong belief that carding is practised in Ottawa. In April of this year, Andrew Tysowski, a fourth-year Carleton University student, was stopped by an Ottawa police officer for running a red light at St.

  • Well-Being Checks, a New Manifestation of Discriminatory Policing?
    APPEAL VOLUME 25 n 3 ARTICLE A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME: WELL-BEING CHECKS, A NEW MANIFESTATION OF DISCRIMINATORY POLICING? Leila Gaind * CITED: (2020) 25 Appeal 3 ABSTRACT Citizens and advocacy groups across Canada have called for an end to street checks, a practice that involves the police stopping and questioning people on the street, absent grounds for arrest or detention, to collect identifying information. Across jurisdictions, the data reveals that street checks disproportionately target Black, Indigenous, and other racialized and marginalized persons. Police departments have historically justified these racial disparities by framing street checks as a proactive policing tool, but in recent years, the rhetoric around street checks has shifted. Now, street checks are a way for officers to check in on the “well-being” of marginalized community members. In Vancouver, the VPD has framed this practice as promoting a social good, but this article contends that well-being checks are another manifestation of arbitrary street checks. This article first examines how street checks and the discourse surrounding them have evolved in Toronto, leading to the current moment, where departments face mounting pressure to justify racial disparities in their data. Next, this article shifts its focus to the Downtown East Side (DTES) of Vancouver, where police are facing a similar public reckoning, and have responded with one specific, novel justification: street checks are justifiable as a proactive policing tool that protects the interests of society’s most vulnerable. This article concludes by arguing that well-being checks may function as a new manifestation of discriminatory policing, one that responds to a specific history and context but duplicates the experience of an arbitrary street check.

  • Something Is Rotten in the State of Ottawa
    Something is rotten in the state of Ottawa It has been said that the reason nothing changes in the criminal justice system is due to what have been called the four horsemen of political inaction: inertia, ignorance apathy and cost. When it comes to the Ottawa Police Services Board and their lackadaisical attitude to the issue of carding it appears all four of these elements apply. How else can you can explain the fact that the Ottawa Police Services Board has done next to nothing to address the problems that have been identified in this city when it comes to the carding of citizens. The role of a police services board should not be to rubber stamp decisions made by the chief of police. The issue of street checks or carding was first brought to the attention of the Ottawa Police Services Board back in 2012 when university student Andrew Tysowski was stopped by an Ottawa police officer and given a ticket because six years previously he had the temerity to exercise his charter rights under Canadian law. In 2006 Mr. Tysowski had been asked by officers to get off an OC Transpo bus and answer some of their questions. Someone thought he resembled a robbery suspect and had called police. After answering their questions and producing valid identification Mr. Tysowski inquired as to why the officers asked him to get off the bus? When one of the officers reacted negatively to his request Mr. Tysowski indicated he had studied police foundations at Algonquin College and that he was legally entitled to receive an answer to his question.
