Now representing over 3,800 design practitioners, including firm owners, freelancers, managers, educators and students, RGD was created in 1996 by an Act of the Ontario Legislature (Bill Pr 56) and is the only graphic design association in North America to have this type of legislation. Bill Pr 56 “enables the Association to govern and discipline its members.” The RGD and Registered Graphic Designer designations are signals of quality and competence to the profession, public and government. Successful candidates have met a rigorous set of standards that includes documented levels of relevant, professional education and experience as well as competence in the areas of business, design principles, research and ethics demonstrated through the successful completion of RGD’s certification process. Our vision is for a graphic design profession that is broadly valued for its contribution to life, commerce and society. 4 RGD 2018 So(cial) Good Awards 5 INTRODUCTION Design is at its best when it serves society. It has done so in the past and its role continues to gain importance. Today, design informs conversations at every level, from boardrooms of global corporations identifying their business goals to local NGOs solving basic needs in developing countries.

In a typical year, about 50 percent of the school’s commerce undergraduates are female. But as third- year specialization approaches, relatively few women choose finance. Li, who teaches a course that readies students for Fthe investment banking industry, thinks there’s both a supply and a demand problem. “People who I invite as guest speakers, there are very few female role models, unfortunately,” she says. At the same time, investment banking’s long hours may not appeal to women seeking work-life balance. Despite such challenges, this province is home to a remarkable group of women working in financial roles. For our fifth annual B.C.’s Most Influential Women fea- ture, we again sought the advice of an expert panel (see p.47)—three of whose five members are women mak- ing their mark in finance—to identify names worthy of recognition.

  • CSA Notice 44-302 - Replacement of National Instrument 44-101 Short Form Prospectus Distributions
    Notices / News Releases 1.1.2 CSA Notice 44-302 - Replacement of National Instrument 44-101 Short Form Prospectus Distributions CSA NOTICE 44-302 - REPLACEMENT OF NATIONAL INSTRUMENT 44-101 SHORT FORM PROSPECTUS DISTRIBUTIONS December 16, 2005 Introduction On October 21, 2005, the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA), published a notice relating to the replacement of National Instrument 44-101 Short Form Prospectus Distributions (Former NI 44-101) which came into effect in December 2000 with National Instrument 44- 101 Short Form Prospectus Distributions (New NI 44-101). New NI 44-101 will come into force on December 30, 2005. Substance and Purpose New NI 44-101 modifies the qualification, disclosure and other requirements of the short form prospectus system so that this prospectus system can build on and be more consistent with recent developments and initiatives of the CSA. Transition Section 2.8(1) of New NI 44-101 requires issuers to file a one-time notice of intention to be qualified to file a short form prospectus (a qualification notice) at least 10 business days prior to filing its first preliminary short form prospectus under New NI 44-101. Section 2.8(4) grandfathers issuers which have a current AIF as defined in Former NI 44-101 as at December 29, 2005 by deeming such issuers to have filed a qualification notice on December 14, 2005 (which is 10 business days prior to implementation of New NI 44- 101). Therefore, grandfathered issuers which otherwise satisfy the New NI 44-101 qualification criteria may file a preliminary short form prospectus under New NI 44-101 on or after December 30, 2005.
