The Learning Partnership Chair, Board of Directors The Learning Partnership Message from the President and Chair This past year has been eventful, fast-paced and an exciting one at The Learning Partnership. Eventful, because in 2013 we reached one of our signifi cant milestones - celebrating 20 years of building learning partnerships across Canada. Fast-paced, because the momentum of outreach across Canada continues to surge ahead to make our schools great places to learn. Exciting, because building on our rich and inspiring history, and honouring our past, we look to the future with a refreshed eye – launching a new logo, new website, and building new collaborations that are already delivering great synergies. Canada’s public education system enviably ranks as one of the top ten in the world. For this, we take pride in being Canadian citizens. We are grateful for inheriting a solid foundation on which we can build a continuing bright future for Canada. But, this is a moving target that requires that we stay vigilant, focused and forward-looking. Global pressures demand that Canada stays competitive. What better way to do this than by building strong bridges between business and education? We must ensure our children are skilled and fully prepared for a fast-changing, interconnected and complex world. We must ensure also that our children embrace healthy attitudes to lifelong learning and see its tremendous value in their own lives, their communities and in Canada’s future. With the respect and trust earned from government, business and education partners, The Learning Partnership continues to build results-driven collaborations that focus on fi ve key deliverables: 1) Student Programs 2) Educator Programs and Executive Leadership 3) Building Collaborations 4) Knowledge Mobilization and Policy, and 5) Celebrating Exemplary Leadership. In the last 12 months alone, we have reached 826,000 children, parents and guardians, and nearly 5,000 schools across Canada. New initiatives such as the Education Summit, a Pan-Canadian Study of Career Education and follow-up plans for a CEO Roundtable, Business-Education Task Force, It’s My Future student voice forums, together with our traditional Champions of Public Education Tribute events honouring Mr. Rick Waugh, Mr. John Stackhouse, Mr. Aditya Jha, and Mr. James Ross are just some of the highlights this year. We invite you to read more about this within the pages of this report. Open debates on education have never been so transparent and dynamic as they are today. Our teams, partners, volunteers and supporters at The Learning Partnership embrace this ‘renaissance’ with great enthusiasm. It allows us to do what we do best – building results-focused and student-centric collaborations with academia, industry, commerce, education and the broader community – to ensure that Canada’s public education system is world-class and one that continually strives for excellence. One last, but important note in appreciation of the spirit of camaraderie and the high-calibre leadership that is the fabric of The Learning Partnership. In January 2013 - halfway through this business year - we transitioned to new leadership at The Learning Partnership and we are honoured to share that this leadership transition has been extraordinarily successful. For this we thank our committed Board members for their guidance and our dedicated staff team for their support. Our partnerships have never been stronger and we are building new relationships as we look to the future with enthusiasm and optimism. We have ensured that the momentum of our work is uncompromised in advancing Canada’s publicly funded education system to be even stronger and more vibrant than ever. Akela Peoples Michael Coté 4 President and CEO, The Learning Partnership Chair, Board of Directors, The Learning Partnership thelearningpartnership.ca Our Story ... 20 Years of Success! Our story began in the early 1990s when businessman Charlie Pielsticker realized that there were virtually no opportunities for business leaders to network with leaders in our elementary and secondary schools. He recognized the need for these two groups to collaborate so that our public education system could adapt to changing demographics and shifting economic needs. So he created a way to make this happen. In April 1993, Charlie registered the name of a new organization – The Metro Toronto Learning Partnership. After assembling a board of directors from both the business and education sectors, Charlie elicited support from the fi ve major banks – BMO, CIBC, RBC, Scotiabank, and TD – who have continued their support to the present. A search then began for an innovative and well-connected individual with fundraising talents to serve as CEO, someone with a foot in both the education and business camps. That person was Gordon Cressy. Gordon single-handedly set to work building an organization from the ground up. He created our inaugural program and the

Our community’s Financial Management System Certifi cation will support our reputation as an entrepreneurial Band... the community’s Financial Performance Certifi cation will prove that we have the systems in place and that those systems are working eff ectively and effi cient- “ly. Credibility in business and strong fi nancial support can only benefi t members, councillors, staff and the South Okanagan. Raising the bar as this process has been described, enhances the Osoyoos Indian Band’s reputation and credibility while providing the needed fi nancial support for continued growth and success in First Nations terms. Our Community wants access to longer term, lower interest fi nancing options that better match the large infrastructure projects that the Osoyoos Indian Band has been building and will be building over the next years... Multi-year fi nancial planning and longer term, lower interest rate fi nancing will allow the Band to manage and sustain their development as a more cohesive whole, rather than having more traditional lender preferences determine the development agenda. Katherine MacNeill, CMA OSOYOOS INDIAN BAND” Chief Financial Offi cer I believe that the combination of the FMB fi nancial certifi cation and the requirement to establishment a Financial Administration Law within a First Nation community will provide a solid foundation for those communities seeking to be part of the borrowing pool off ered “by the First Nation Financial Authority. Th is is the most promising opportunity that I have seen in a long time whereby a community can achieve its vision of a better future for its members—the possibility is very real and I am pleased to have been a part of the process to achieve fi nancial certifi cation for this community.

Gibney Examiners: Joseph H. Carens and Cathryn Costello Abstract: This thesis critiques the ethical and political propriety of practicing detention in the United Kingdom. Using a combination of normative theory, migration studies, and public policy studies, the thesis argues that a potential solution for combating the practical problems associated with growing, worsening detention systems as well as the moral dilemma of incarcerating non-citizens based on fear of absconding would be to open borders and eliminate immigration control. Given the reality of the sovereign right to control immigration, however, the thesis concedes that the more feasible normative answer is liberal states’ adoption of a new framework of minimum standards of treatment while simultaneously pressing for open borders as the long-term ethical goal.

  • Solidarity Statement Against Police Brutality at Jamia Millia Islamia University and Aligarh Muslim University
    Solidarity Statement Against Police Brutality at Jamia Millia Islamia University and Aligarh Muslim University We, the undersigned, condemn in the strongest possible terms the police brutality in Jamia Millia Islamia University, New Delhi, and the ongoing illegal siege and curfew imposed on Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh. On 15th December 2019 Delhi police in riot-gear illegally entered the Jamia Millia campus and attacked students who are peacefully protesting the Citizenship Amendment Act. The Act bars Muslims from India’s neighboring countries from the acquisition of Indian citizenship. It contravenes the right to equality and secular citizenship enshrined in the Indian constitution. On the 15th at JMIU, police fired tear gas shells, entered hostels and attacked students studying in the library and praying in the mosque. Over 200 students have been severely injured, many who are in critical condition. Because of the blanket curfew and internet blockage imposed at AMU, we fear a similar situation of violence is unfolding, without any recourse to the press or public. The peaceful demonstration and gathering of citizens does not constitute criminal conduct. The police action in the Jamia Millia Islamia and AMU campuses is blatantly illegal under the constitution of India. We stand in unconditional solidarity with the students, faculty and staff of Jamia Millia Islamia and Aligarh Muslim University, and express our horror at this violent police and state action. With them, we affirm the right of citizens to peaceful protest and the autonomy of the university as a non-militarized space for freedom of thought and expression. The brutalization of students and the attack on universities is against the fundamental norms of a democratic society.

  • CAMH/CAMH Foundation Annual Report 2019-2020
    CAMH/CAMH Foundation Annual Report to the Community 2019-2020 A Message from our CEOs and Board Chairs On behalf of CAMH and CAMH Foundation, thank you for your continued support of our hospital, our mission and the people we serve. Typically at this time of year, you’d receive our annual report. During these difficult times, however, we’ve had to adapt, as our hospital focuses on keeping our patients and community safe. Even though our plans have changed, our commitment to being transparent and keeping you informed remains steadfast. With that, we’re pleased to provide you with a financial update from CAMH and CAMH Foundation for the past fiscal year (ended March 31, 2020). Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, the CAMH community has rallied together to support the public through these challenging times. From March to April 2020 alone, CAMH’s virtual care visits increased from approximately 350 per month to almost 3,000 per month. Our experts quickly mobilized to develop evidence- based tips, coping strategies and resources for the public and health care workers, and we launched a new awareness campaign: Apart. Not Alone., which you may have seen in The Globe & Mail, on social media and in television commercials. As we look toward the future, CAMH is preparing for the opening of two new hospital buildings in the fall as part of our plan to build the mental health facility of the future. In today’s challenging times, and with important work still ahead of us, our shared mission has never been more critical: Mental health is health.
