  • KPU Instructors Produce 'Ear Savers' for Local Hospital
    KPU Instructors produce ‘ear savers’ for local hospital The images are all over social media. Doctors and nurses wearing masks for prolonged periods of time during the COVID-19 pandemic, with one of the results being pain and discomfort around the ears. To help ease some of that pain, instructors at Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) have produced 1,000 “ear savers” for healthcare professionals at Vancouver General Hospital. “The idea with these straps is that the masks are just held around the head,” says Victor Martinez, a product design instructor at KPU’s Wilson School of Design. This relieves pressure on healthcare workers’ ears. Martinez and a group of KPU faculty and students are using 3D printers to produce the ear savers – adhering to proper physical distancing measures as they work. The printers are running about 15 hours a day. The ear savers attach the mask straps that would otherwise go around the ears to small notches on the plastic devices, which then wraps around the head easing the discomfort behind the ears. This small project is part of a wider global commitment to responding to issues and concerns about personal protective equipment (PPE) for workers on the front line of the pandemic. “Victor has been diligently and tirelessly working on possible PPE solutions since the initial need was first announced,” says Andhra Goundrey, dean of the Wilson School of Design. While balancing the transition to online teaching and finishing the spring semester remotely, Martinez worked with an existing design to create the straps. Given his background in design and 3D printing, he wanted to do something to help front line workers.

  • Washrooms for Customers Only”: Space, Dignity, and Sh*Tting in the City
    “Washrooms for Customers Only”: Space, Dignity, and Sh*tting in the City by Edith Wilson A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Sociology Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Edith Wilson, January, 2019 ABSTRACT “WASHROOMS FOR CUSTOMERS ONLY”: SPACE, DIGNITY, AND SH*TTING IN THE CITY Edith Wilson Advisor(s): University of Guelph, 2019 Dr. Mervyn Horgan This thesis examines the narratives that explain the existence of washrooms for customers only (W4CO) rules in the City of Toronto. Fifteen interviews were conducted with workers and managers at both chain and independent fast food and coffee shops along five strips in Toronto’s downtown core. In addition, a full listing of the public washrooms already available in the city was assembled, since no previous complete list existed. Descriptive statistics gathered show that 37.62% of the businesses in the research area have W4CO signs. Findings also show that although W4CO signs are much less frequent in independent shops, independent shops also have many fewer washroom uses per hour than chain shops. Findings from interviews show that the high prevalence of homelessness and the intersection of homelessness with mental health issues and drug addiction were concerns for workers. However, most interviewees were interested in polic y solutions and tried to separate their often difficult experiences with the washrooms in businesses from discourse that stigmatizes vulnerable populations. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First, many thanks to the anonymous heroes of this project. I will always be grateful to the interviewees that took time out of long and stressful workdays, even sometimes days off, to talk to me.

  • Public Art Brochure: the Birds
    MYFANWY MACLEOD The Birds PUBLIC ART vancouver with dogs, cats and farm animals, they helped shape a radical view of wild animals. No longer a trophy or food staple, animals were something to be marvelled at and, perhaps for the first time, protected. It was a new role for us, and we imagined they would be as eager to get to know us as we them. Into this mix, and perhaps with obvious purpose, Alfred Hitchcock’s infamous 1963 film The Birds came as a shocking repudiation, a movie in which the antagonism of the animal kingdom was both vehement and unexplained. The Birds distilled Cold War anxieties and contrasted the gentle inclu- siveness of Disney and Perkins with a violent and aggressive opposite. The movie swiftly returned us to a picture of the natural world (not long forgotten!) that was mystifying, inde- pendent and threatening. Worse, within this world, animals Angry Birds were intelligent and vengeful. Humans were the enemy and it was payback time. Discussing her art practice recently, Myfanwy MacLeod spoke “The Birds” is, not coincidentally, the title of MacLeod’s of a childhood fascination with two unlikely figures: Walt public sculpture for the Village on False Creek, and she freely Disney and Marlin Perkins. For North American baby boomers cites Hitchcock’s movie as inspiration. Here, two giant, towering (and those on their generational coattails like Generation X), house sparrows oversee passersby and pedestrians like a pair Disney and Perkins were quietly influential personalities of oversized, militant guards. Observant but relaxed, friendly whose respective and long-running television series The yet vaguely threatening, these epic sculptures are modelled and , Wonderful World of Disney Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom on one of our most familiar urban denizens.
