  • The Four Courts of Sir Lyman Duff
    THE FOUR COURTS OF SIR LYMAN DUFF RICHARD GOSSE* Vancouver I. Introduction. Sir Lyman Poore Duff is the dominating figure in the Supreme Court of Canada's first hundred years. He sat on the court for more than one-third of those years, in the middle period, from 1906 to 1944, participating in nearly 2,000 judgments-and throughout that tenure he was commonly regarded as the court's most able judge. Appointed at forty-one, Duff has been the youngest person ever to have been elevated to the court. Twice his appointment was extended by special Acts of Parliament beyond the mandatory retirement age of seventy-five, a recogni- tion never accorded to any other Canadian judge. From 1933, he sat as Chief Justice, having twice previously-in 1918 and 1924 - almost succeeded to that post, although on those occasions he was not the senior judge. During World War 1, when Borden considered resigning over the conscription issue and recommending to the Governor General that an impartial national figure be called upon to form a government, the person foremost in his mind was Duff, although Sir Lyman had never been elected to public office. After Borden had found that he had the support to continue himself, Duff was invited to join the Cabinet but declined. Mackenzie King con- sidered recommending Duff for appointment as the first Canadian Governor General. Duff undertook several inquiries of national interest for the federal government, of particular significance being the 1931-32 Royal Commission on Transportation, of which he was chairman, and the 1942 investigation into the sending of Canadian troops to Hong Kong, in which he was the sole commissioner .

  • Comprehensive School Health Report
    Comprehensive 2004-2005 School Health 2005 A Peel Public Health Report 2006 Peel District School Board Introduction Comprehensive School Health in the Region of Peel Comprehensive School Health (CSH) is the model of school health service delivery that has been the foundation of the partnership between Peel Health and the Peel District School Board. CSH is a health promotion model that engages school staff, students and parents in the identification of issues affecting their school communities’ health and wellness. A Public Health Nurse assigned to families of schools can facilitate the identification of the issues and the development of a comprehensive plan to address them. CSH has four components: Instruction, Healthy Physical Environments, Support Services and Social Supports. This report highlights health services which address or support one or more of these components. The goal of the CSH approach is to develop a plan which incorporates many programs, policies and services in all of the four components. By addressing all facets of an issue using the components of CSH, effective and sustainable change can be seen in the health of a school community. Peel Health would like to thank our partners in the Peel District School Board who work with us to ensure the healthy development of Peel’s children and youth.

    THE DIFFICULT ART OF CANADIAN FOREIGN POLICY, 1957-1963 by JOHN ANDREW MUNRO B.A. University of British Columbia, 1962 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of International studies We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard. THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA April, 1965. In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that per• mission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by his representatives. It is understood that, copying or publi• cation of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission, Department of The University of British Columbia, Vancouver 8S Canada I ABSTRACT The question is, why did Canada's international stature experience a seemingly spectacular decline during the Diefenbaker era, 1957-1963. The problem lies not in a documentation of this decline, but rather in determining the reasons for it. There are basically four avenues of research. Firstly, Canada's actual position in terms of international prestige and influence at the end of the Liberal era in 1957, must be realistically appraised. Secondly, the changing pattern of domestic restrictions on external policy must be analysed. Thirdly, the relationship of the Prime Minister and the Secretary of State for External Affairs must be examined, and their capabilities as policy formulators deter• mined.

  • Immunization of School Pupils
    Immunization of School Pupils Act Estimated Coverage & Non-Medical Exemption Rates, By School 2018-19 School Year Immunization of School Pupils Act Estimated Coverage & Non-Medical Exemption Rates, By School 2018-19 School Year Summary This document summarizes the estimated coverage rates and non-medical exemption rates by school for Measles, Mumps, and Rubella vaccine (MMR) and for Diphtheria, Tetanus and Polio vaccines (DTP) for children attending school in the Region of Peel for the 2018-19 school year. Estimated coverage rates are not the same as immunization coverage rates. Overall for the 2018-19 school year: • the average estimated coverage rate across all Peel schools was 94.6% for MMR. • the average estimated coverage rate across all Peel schools was 90.8% for DTP. The difference in DTP rates compared to MMR (combined) is due to the additional requirement for an adolescent vaccine dose for diphtheria and tetanus. • the average non-medical exemption rates for MMR and for DTP were 1.8%. Background In Ontario, the Immunization of School Pupils Act (ISPA) requires children attending school to be vaccinated or have a valid exemption for the immunizations as described in Regulation 645. This legislation is important to protect children from vaccine preventable diseases and helps to decrease incidence of disease or outbreaks. Region of Peel – Public Health (‘Peel Public Health’) staff assess immunization records for one of the fastest growing populations in Ontario. Records for over 250,000 students, who attend a school located in the Region of Peel, are assessed every school year. According to the legislation, parents must provide records of immunization to public health; or if applicable, provide the necessary documentation for a medical or non-medical exemption (i.e.

  • Social Risk Index
    Assessment and Accountability Curriculum, Instruction and Special Education Support Services Social Risk Index putting research Elementary and Secondary Schools into practice Paul Favaro, Ph.D., Tom Lam, B.A., Lisa Durocher, M.Sc. October 2008 Social Risk Index Elementary and Secondary Schools Introduction The Social Risk Index The conceptual model for the Social Risk Index was developed by Human Resources Development Canada (HRDC, 2003) as a tool for providing a general picture of potential risks in communities. The index contains nine variables that profile the socio-economic context of communities. The nine social risk indicators were compared to national, provincial, Peel Region, City of Mississauga, City of Brampton, and the Town of Caledon averages. The report presents the social risk profiles for three points in time (1996 vs. 2001 vs. 2006), and documents how the social risk indicators have changed over the ten-year period from 1996 – 2006. The Census data used in this report are from the 1996, 2001, and 2006 Census. Mapping files were obtained from Statistics Canada, the Region of Peel Planning Department, and the Peel District School Board. Social Risk Index Variables The nine social risk indicators used in calculating the Social Risk Index were: (1) Average Household Income: Average household income was defined as the average annual gross income reported by Peel households in 1996, 2001, and 2006. All households were included in the calculation of the average income figure. (2) Unemployment Rate: The unemployment rate variable is the rate of all unemployed Peel residents aged 15 and over in 1996, 2001, and 2006. (3) Proportion of Residents 15 Years and Older Who Lacked a High School Diploma: This variable represents the 1996, 2001, and 2006 proportion of Peel residents aged 15 and over who did not complete their secondary school studies.
