Augustine was a social activist and volunteer within the Caribbean community of Toronto, working on issues such as immigrant and women's rights, violence against women, drug abuse and poverty. She founded several community organizations, including the Grenada Association and the Ontario chapter of the Congress of Black Women of Canada. She was also active in the areas of urban education, black youth and cultural events such as Caribana. In the Spring of 1985, Augustine was appointed by Ontario Premier David Peterson to a "transition team" of citizens to facilitate the transfer of power from the previous Conservative government to the newly-elected Liberal-NDP coalition.

  • Lesson Plan with Activities: Political
    LESSON PLAN POLITICAL PARTIES Recommended for Grade 10 Duration: Approximately 60 minutes BACKGROUND INFORMATION Parliamentary Roles: www.ola.org/en/visit-learn/about-ontarios-parliament/ parliamentary-roles LEARNING GOALS This lesson plan is designed to engage students in the political process through participatory activities and a discussion about the various political parties. Students will learn the differences between the major parties of Ontario and how they connect with voters, and gain an understanding of the important elements of partisan politics. INTRODUCTORY DISCUSSION (10 minutes) Canada is a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary democracy, founded on the rule of law and respect for rights and freedoms. Ask students which country our system of government is based on. Canada’s parliamentary system stems from the British, or “Westminster,” tradition. Since Canada is a federal state, responsibility for lawmaking is shared among one federal, ten provincial and three territorial governments. Canada shares the same parliamentary system and similar roles as other parliaments in the Commonwealth – countries with historic links to Britain. In our parliament, the Chamber is where our laws are debated and created. There are some important figures who help with this process. Some are partisan and some are non-partisan. What does it mean to be partisan/non-partisan? Who would be voicing their opinions in the Chamber? A helpful analogy is to imagine the Chamber as a game of hockey, where the political parties are the teams playing and the non-partisan roles as the people who make sure the game can happen (ex. referees, announcers, score keepers, etc.) LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY OF ONTARIO POLITICAL PARTIES 01 EXPLANATION (5 minutes) Political Parties: • A political party is a group of people who share the same political beliefs.

McCartney Special Issue: Emerging Issues in the Internationalization of Cdn. Article abstract Higher Ed. Although there is a rich critical literature examining international student Volume 50, Number 4, 2020 policy in Canada, very little of it considers the views of Members of Parliament. MPs have limited direct influence over international student policy, but their URI: https://id.erudit.org/iderudit/1075830ar policy talk about international students defines the context within which such DOI: https://doi.org/10.47678/cjhe.v50i4.188831 policy is developed. For that reason Parliamentary debate deserves study. This paper examines MPs’ discussion of international students between 1984 and 2019, tracing themes in MP policy talk over the globalization era. It finds that See table of contents MPs evince remarkably consistent attitudes towards international students. Throughout the period MP policy talk shows that Parliamentarians saw international students as outsiders who were only ofvalue to the extent that Publisher(s) they could be made to serve Canada’s economic or political agenda. The uniformity of this attitude and the lack of dissenting voices suggest that MPs’ Canadian Society for the Study of Higher Education views may be a significant barrier to reforming international student policy in Canada.

  • Executive Summary | 2 Key Conclusions
    Overview Report Executive IN THE GTA Summary July 2017 Background The Black Experience Project began with a central question “What does it mean to be Black in the GTA?” From there, the study embarked on a journey of answering this question in an authentic and respectful way. Launched in 2010, the Black Experience Project (BEP) is a research study that examines the lived experiences of individuals who self-identify as Black and/or of African heritage living in the Greater Toronto Area, or GTA (the City of Toronto, and the Regions of York, Durham, Peel and Halton). This study was led by the Environics Institute for Survey Research, in partnership with the United Way of Toronto and York Region, the YMCA of the Greater Toronto Area, Ryerson’s Diversity Institute, and the Jean Augustine Chair in Education, Community and Diaspora at York University. This research aims to provide a better understanding of the lives of Black individuals within the GTA, including the factors leading to their successes and challenges. The results are intended to provide valuable insight and direction in identifying policies and other initiatives that will contribute to the health and vibrancy of the Black community, and by doing so, the health and vibrancy of the entire GTA and beyond. Project results are expected to provide a focal point for the Black community to better harness its assets and expand its successes throughout the entire community. These results will also help the broader community (e.g., community leaders, decision- makers, policy makers, general public) understand and appreciate the diversity and vibrancy of the Black community within their vicinity.

    Looking forward The future of womenÕs health The New Women’s College Hospital Annual Report 2006 Azeena Ratansi Occupational Therapist Dr. John Semple Surgeon in Chief Dr. Catherine Classen Academic Leader, Trauma Therapy Program Director, Women’s Mental Health Research Message from the Chair, Board of Directors Michele Landsberg What a wonderful year it has been! Just weeks after Minister of Health and Long-Term Care, the Honourable George Smitherman, announced that independent governance was being restored to our cherished hospital, I was honoured and challenged to be elected Chair of your Board of Directors. I want to thank all of you for your support and encouragement. In a spirited collaboration, we are working together to ensure that The New Women’s College Hospital regains our rightful place as a leader in women’s healthcare, research and education while carving out our new role as Ontario’s first and only academic ambulatory care hospital. This has been an unbelievably eventful year. With the dedicated and vigorous facilitation of the Honourable Elinor Caplan and her team, the de-amalgamation negotiations proceeded rapidly, and our new status as an independent hospital under the Public Hospitals Act was achieved in only seven months. Although we continue to have extensive partnerships with Sunnybrook for corporate and other services, and continue to host their Perinatal and Gynaecology program for the near term, we have also been able to initiate strategic partnerships with many other institutions and care providers, and our skilled hospital staff have been energetically pursuing these opportunities. The Board has been equally hard-working.

  • Toronto City Council Enviro Report Card 2010-2014
    TORONTO CITY COUNCIL ENVIRO REPORT CARD 2010-2014 TORONTO ENVIRONMENTAL ALLIANCE • JUNE 2014 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY hortly after the 2010 municipal election, TEA released a report noting that a majority of elected SCouncillors had committed to building a greener city. We were right but not in the way we expected to be. Councillors showed their commitment by protecting important green programs and services from being cut and had to put building a greener city on hold. We had hoped the 2010-14 term of City Council would lead to significant advancement of 6 priority green actions TEA had outlined as crucial to building a greener city. Sadly, we’ve seen little - if any - advancement in these actions. This is because much of the last 4 years has been spent by a slim majority of Councillors defending existing environmental policies and services from being cut or eliminated by the Mayor and his supporters; programs such as Community Environment Days, TTC service and tree canopy maintenance. Only in rare instances was Council proactive. For example, taking the next steps to grow the Greenbelt into Toronto; calling for an environmental assessment of Line 9. This report card does not evaluate individual Council members on their collective inaction in meeting the 2010 priorities because it is almost impossible to objectively grade individual Council members on this. Rather, it evaluates Council members on how they voted on key environmental issues. The results are interesting: • Average Grade: C+ • The Mayor failed and had the worst score. • 17 Councillors got A+ • 16 Councillors got F • 9 Councillors got between A and D In the end, the 2010-14 Council term can be best described as a battle between those who wanted to preserve green programs and those who wanted to dismantle them.
