The Role of Canadian Zoos and Aquaria in Species at Risk Conservation The Role of Canadian Zoos and Aquaria in Species at Risk Conservation by Katrina Jansen A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Geography University of Toronto © Copyright by Katrina Jansen 2016 The Role of Canadian Zoos and Aquaria in Species at Risk Conservation Katrina Jansen Master of Arts Department of Geography University of Toronto 2016 Abstract Though many zoos have been participating in conservation activities for decades, academics have yet to conduct a thorough analysis of how zoos and aquaria are assisting in the recovery of species at risk. This thesis investigates the role of Canadian zoos and aquaria in conservation by using a combination of interviews with zoo staff members, observations of people at zoo exhibits, and multi-level species recovery document analysis. I argue that zoos in Canada are uniquely placed to make a substantial contribution to species at risk recovery in several main areas, including captive breeding and reintroductions, research, education, and recovery strategy development. However, financial limitations are holding these institutions back from growing their involvement in species at risk conservation, despite the pressing need for more non- governmental organizations, such as zoos, to take on a more active role in species recovery. ii Acknowledgments I would first off like to express my gratitude to the case study organizations. The Assiniboine Park Zoo, Calgary Zoo, Toronto Zoo, and the Vancouver Aquarium were all extremely supportive of my research investigations, and did their utmost to ensure that I was able to collect the necessary data. I also would like to thank the staff members from each of these organizations for their honesty and willingness to participate in this project; I could not have accomplished this work without you. During my data collection phase, I was also fortunate to have the assistance of several other organizations, including: the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup, which allowed me access to some of their past data; the Canadian Association of Zoos and Aquariums, for assisting in my understanding of zoological accreditation requirements; and the Manitoba Wildlife Branch for aiding my search for recovery strategies in that province. I was also very fortunate to have the support and guidance of my supervisor at the University of Toronto, Dr. Andrea Olive. Dr. Olive, you were the best supervisor I could have asked for. Your unfailing encouragement, quick responses to questions, and willingness to push me into digging were all instrumental in helping me to complete this thesis. I would also like to thank the other members of my committee, Dr. Laurel Besco and Dr. Amy Mui, for their consideration and feedback on this work. During my research, I have been supported by funding from both the St. George and Mississauga campuses of the University of Toronto. In particular, I wish to thank the Mississauga departments of Geography and Political Science for their generous grants, which enabled me to conduct my field research at the four different institutions across the country. Writing a thesis can be a lonely, tiring road; yet, thanks to the support of my partner, family, and friends, I was able to retain my enthusiasm (and sanity) during the writing process. Thank you one and all – I could not have done this without you! iii Table of Contents

This report is organized into nine sections, the principal seven of which include: • The Compelling Case for Change: while an attractive physical presence, the Park is long overdue for an updated strategic plan, contemporary fundraising program, and modernized organizational structure to revitalize its luster and status as a tourist destination for the city and the province. • Current Governance Reality: a summary of how the Park is organized now, including the role of the City of Winnipeg (“the City”) and its various functional contributors, the different not-for-profit organizations and their leadership roles within the Park, and a strengths/weaknesses/opportunities/threats (“SWOT”) analysis of the present governance situation.

  • History of the Winnipeg Park Patrol 120 Years of Policing Winnipeg's Parks 1897-2017
    HISTORY OF THE WINNIPEG PARK PATROL 120 YEARS OF POLICING WINNIPEG'S PARKS 1897-2017 Researched and written by Sergeant John Burchill(retired) Winnipeg has more parks per capita than any other city in North America. With over 900 residential parks and 12 major Regional parks, Winnipeg has more than 10,260 acres of parkland. Although Winnipeg has an abundance of green space, it still enjoys some of the safest parks throughout Canada, which can be attributable to the efforts of Winnipeg's Park Patrol, formerly known as the Park Police. Although they were never listed in the national police directory, with 14 sworn members at its height, Winnipeg's Park Park Police - 1987, John Burchill Police were at one time one of the larger quasi-municipal police services in Manitoba. Their members are fully trained, sworn peace officers, who meet the same hiring and training standards as members of the Winnipeg Police Service. In fact, all full-time members of the Park Police were graduates of the Winnipeg Police Academy. With offices formerly located in Assiniboine Park, Kildonan Park and Kings Park, the Winnipeg Park Police operated primarily as one-officer units and provided 7-days a week coverage to most of the major regional parks and operated on a 24-hour a day schedule out of Assiniboine Park. In addition to three marked cruiser cars and an unmarked traffic unit, the Winnipeg Park Police also operated a bike patrol during large special events. Today they are known as the Park Patrol however they can trace their history back 115 years to 1897 when the Public Parks Board hired their first Special Constable.

  • Gaits and Their Development in the Infraorder Pecora by Anne Innis
    Gaits and Their Development in the Infraorder Pecora by Anne Innis Dagg, M.A. THESIS Presented to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of the University of Waterloo in partial ful­ fillmenc of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosopty in Biolog The University of Waterloo February, 1967 The University of Waterloo requires the signature of all persons using this thesis. Please sign below, and give address and date. I hereby declare that I am the sole a�thor of this thesis. I authorize the University of Waterloo to lend it to other institutions or individuals for the purpose of scholarly research. Signature Abstract The gaits of twenty-eight species of the Infraorder Pecora are analyzed from motion picture sequences comprising over 45,000 frames. For each gait the percentage time spent on the various supporting legs during each stride and the order in which the combinations of supporting legs were used are tabulated. When possible the times for the strides are calculated. The walk patterns of each of the four families studied are shown to be statistically distinctive. Within each family, those members that live where the vegetation is so dense that they must rely on hearing to warn them of danger use a more stable walk than those species that inhabit open grasslands. A stable walk is that in which diagonal legs are used in·preference to lateral legs and three or four supporting legs are used rather than two. With a more stable walk, 4 species is able to pause quickly and to flee instantly if danger thr�atens.
