Soon thereafter, little Iona – still a babe in arms - and her family returned to Galiano Island to her family home. Along with her three siblings, John, Harold and Marion, she was raised to be proud of her family’s pioneering roots: their grandfather, Finlay Murcheson, settled on the Island in 1882. In 1940, the Hardy family moved up the coast to the North Pacific Cannery located on the Skeena River near Prince Rupert, where her father worked as Chief of Maintenance. On August 9, 1952 she married (and later divorced) Louis Campagnolo, and together they had two daughters. It was out of a concern for the quality of her daughters’ education that Iona Campagnolo first became involved with municipal politics: first being elected to the Prince Rupert School Board in 1966 where she served for six years as School Trustee, Chairman of the Board, and North Coast Zone Chairman of the Board. Upon completion of her term on the School Board, she ran in the Prince Rupert civic election, won, and served a term as ‘Alderman’ (City Councilor) until 1974. Also during this period (1965-1974) Iona Campagnolo was working for CHTK Radio, Skeena Broadcasters Ltd., as both Advertising Sales Director and Broadcaster: her prowess at the latter position earned her a B.C. Broadcaster of the Year award in 1973. The early seventies were not only a time of political activism for Iona Campagnolo, they were also a time of continued community activism and development of ethno-cultural initiatives within the City of Prince Rupert that had originally begun almost twenty years earlier in 1954. In 1971 Iona Campagnolo was appointed the Royal Visit Co-ordinator for the City of Prince Rupert a task which saw her organize the Centennial Royal Visit of the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh accompanied by the Princess Anne to the City as part of their Royal Tour of British Columbia, May 3-12, 1971. As producer, director and costume designer for many performances of the North Pacific Players (a Prince Rupert theatre company) Iona Campagnolo was intrinsically involved in several community theatre performances such as Man of La Mancha (1971), Mary Stuart (1972) Tom Jones (1973) and Fiddler on the Roof (1974). In 1973 she was charged with the task of organizing the Vice Regal visit of Governor General and Mme Roland Michener to the City of Prince Rupert and in 1974, she was appointed Co-ordinator, Northwest Region for Folkfest ‘74 – the first of such cultural celebrations to embrace, promote and celebrate diversity in British Columbia’s North Coastal region. To acknowledge and honour her 20 years of dynamic volunteerism within her community, she was made a Member of the Order of Canada in 1973 and was promoted to Officer in 2008. In 1974 Iona Campagnolo turned her attention to federal politics. Running as a Liberal Party candidate for the riding of Skeena, she won this election and ousted long standing Skeena MP Frank Howard. As Member of Parliament for Skeena, Iona Campagnolo first served as Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development (1974-1976). She was then appointed a Cabinet Member in Pierre Trudeau’s government – a position which subsequently granted her the portfolio of Minister of State for Fitness and Amateur Sport (Sept. 14, 1976 – May 22, 1979). Not only did this new Page 3 of 238 The Honourable Iona Campagnolo fonds [Accession #2009.6] Boxes #1-41 Fonds Description and File Level Inventory appointment grant her the distinction of becoming the very first Minister of Amateur Sport in Canada, she also became the first woman and Northerner to be appointed a federal Minister. Iona Campagnolo and Monique Begin were the fourth and fifth women in Canadian History to enter the Federal Cabinet, and were appointed together by Mr. Trudeau on September 16, 1976 to the Privy Council, following in the footsteps of Ellen Fairclough (the John Diefenbaker government); Judy LaMarsh (the Lester Pearson government) and Jeanne Sauvé (the Pierre Trudeau government). During her three years in office, Iona Campagnolo was responsible for creating and developing a policy on amateur sport and fitness for the federal government. Ms. Campagnolo’s major achievements in this area included a National Policy on Amateur Sport, Canada’s Hosting Policy and a National Policy on Fitness. She commissioned studies to be undertaken to assess the status of both international and amateur hockey in Canada. A report on International Hockey and an interim report on Minor Amateur Hockey in Canada. She was made accountable to Parliament for the operation of three Crown Corporations – Loto Canada, Participaction and the National Sport and Recreation Administration Center. She initiated International Sport Exchanges with Eastern Bloc Countries to enhance Canadian sport technical expertise following our Nations’ 10 th place finish in the 1976 Montreal Olympics. She played a key role in the development of the Canada Games and presided as Minister to these Games at St. John’s, Newfoundland in 1977 and at Brandon, Manitoba in 1979; as Minister to the Arctic Winter Games at Hay River and Pine Point, N.W.T. in 1978; and as Minister to the Commonwealth Games at Edmonton, Alta. in 1978. Ms. Campagnolo entered into negotiations for sport development exchanges between Canada and several African and Caribbean Nations during the Commonwealth Games with a view to enhancing the sport expertise of Commonwealth partners. During her years as M.P. Ms. Campagnolo was an active participant and served on various Standing Committees of the House of Commons on Energy, Environment and Fisheries, Privileges and Elections, Indian Affairs and Northern Development, and the Cabinet Oceans Committee on Law of the Sea. After electoral defeat in the May 1979 federal election, Iona Campagnolo embarked upon several years of active involvement within the public, private and non-profit realms. Ms. Campagnolo served for two years (1979-1981) as host of a prime time feature interview program on the CBC, from Vancouver, titled “One of a Kind”. During the first three months of 1981, Ms. Campagnolo completed an assignment by the Secretary of State for External Affairs, to organize the founding and incorporation of the “Future’s Secretariat”, a domestic development awareness mechanism, structured from the various sectors of Canadian Society in which Labour Unions and Business, Women’s Groups and Co-operatives, churches and Business / Investment / Banking and Service Clubs are provided with consultative forum in which to gain access to and participate in, the cause of International Development Cooperation. The intended result was to be a series of community Task Forces and network linkages at the local level, which would raise the consciousness of Canadians to the interdependent nature of the world and Canada’s role and responsibility to it. The Futures Secretariat also organized a unique interaction with representatives of the media to provide a climate of greater understanding of issues surrounding international development cooperation. Working as a consultant on Public Relations and Fundraising to CUSO-VSO (then known only as CUSO or the Canadian University Services Overseas Organization) Iona Campagnolo undertook a large number of speaking engagements particularly in support of refugee re-development, with emphasis on Thai- Kampuchean Border refugees. After spearheading the raising of more than half a million dollars in 1980 towards this particular campaign, she continued to work on various other campaigns on behalf of CUSO. Iona Campagnolo was also a Special Projects Consultant to the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA). In 1981 she was appointed Project Head by the Deputy Minister of Agriculture, S.B. Peterson, of the World Food Day Fast: “How does it feel to be hungry?” to organize this awareness raising event in Vancouver, October 12-16, 1981. Page 4 of 238 The Honourable Iona Campagnolo fonds [Accession #2009.6] Boxes #1-41 Fonds Description and File Level Inventory Iona Campagnolo also devoted much time to feminist initiatives. In 1980 Iona Campagnolo became involved with the Jerusalem Women’s Seminar and Intercultural Dialogue and traveled to Jerusalem, Israel to attend the Jerusalem Women’s Seminar - an international, intercultural program for high-level women policy-makers from Canada, US, Israel and Egypt, to promote cultural exchange and professional networking during the Camp David Accords. Ms. Campagnolo also assisted in the organization and emergence of women’s networks in several Canadian urban centers such as Edmonton and Vancouver. Also from 1979-1981 Ms. Campagnolo acted as Special Consultant in several different capacities to Simon Fraser University (SFU).

  • History Senate Election
    SENATE EXPANDING THE BLUEPRINT FOR SENATE REFORM '99'99 for the record: Alberta’s 1998 senate election introduction “The first action taken by Pierre Elliot Trudeau as prime minister at his inaugural cabinet meeting in 1968 turned out to be prescient. He appointed his first senator...Trudeau told cabinet that despite the appointment, he still favoured Senate reform as promised during the election. As we now know, 30 years later, it never happened. In fact, Trudeau’s last action as prime minister 16 years after the cabinet meeting was to leave patronage appointments to the Senate for his successor John Turner. It played a major role in the Liberals’ brutal defeat in the 1984 election at the hands of Brian Mulroney and the Progressive Conservatives, who also promised reforms.” From a news article in the CALGARY HERALD, Feb 4/99, Pg. A8. Such is the story of Senate reform – while many Canadians express commitment to the idea, this “convoy” is not moving very fast. The road to meaningful Senate reform has been long, winding, and full of potholes, and while the debates, discussion, reports, conferences, and scandals have made for some pretty impressive scenery, the destination remains somewhere beyond the horizon. To be sure, the Meech Lake and Charlottetown Accords did propel us further down the road by securing a place for Senate reform on the national agenda, but that scenery too is fading from memory. And if the road were not yet bumpy enough, Ottawa continues to put up roadblocks by refusing to consider any alternatives to the Senate status quo.

Selecting Women to Lead Provincial Parties in Government By Melanee Thomas Associate Professor Department of Political Science University of Calgary 2500 University Drive NW Calgary, AB T2N 1N4 Abstract: The majority of Canada’s women premiers were selected to that office while their parties held government. This is uncommon, both in the comparative literature and amongst premiers who are men. What explains this gendered selection pattern to Canada’s provincial premiers’ offices? This paper explores the most common explanation found in the comparative literature for women’s emergence as leaders of electorally competitive parties and as chief political executives: women are more likely to be selected when that party is in crisis or decline. Using the population of women provincial premiers in Canada as case studies, evidence suggests 3 of 8 women premiers were selected to lead parties in government that were in crisis or decline; a fourth was selected to lead a small, left-leaning party as predicted by the literature.

In Alberta, approval of the government’s handling of the outbreak has remained positive and steady since June– though lagging behind the provincial average. Kenney’s personal favourability has dropped since June while Rachel Notley’s is on the rise; yet, the UCP continues to hold a lead in vote intention due to their strong partisan base. Today, INNOVATIVE is releasing results from July 2020 Canada This Month survey. The online survey was in field from July 14th to July 20th with a weighted sample size of 300 Alberta residents.

It provides an overview of the magazine’s 35-year history, as well as an analysis of its current state: editorial, advertising, circulation, readership and competition. The report also offers an inside account of the strategic planning that went into the relaunch, including: findings from a July 2002 competitive analysis of Toronto Life, Canada’s preeminent city magazine; highlights from a November 2002 Vancouver magazine subscriber survey; and a chronicle of various planning meetings, held within Transcontinental Media West, between July and December 2002. This report evaluates Vancouver magazine’s prospects for a successful relaunch within the framework of the two city magazine studies, each of which addresses the role and purpose of a city magazine. Questions and findings from those studies are then posed to three editors of Vancouver magazine (past and present), who offer an analysis of the city magazine research within the context of their specific experiences at the magazine.

  • 2019 Election: Seat Clusters June to September Survey Results
    2019 Election: Seat Clusters June to September Survey Results August 2019 2 Overview In Canada, we count seats, not vote. Just like in American Presidential elections, you can win the popular vote and lose the election. In fact, that happened to Justin Trudeau’s father in 1979. The general way analysts address that is to look at seats by region. However, seats in the same region can move differently. This release tries to get closer to reality in the seat-by-seat contest. Our analysis combines two projects: • An analysis of federal election districts (which we call “seats”) that groups them into 14 clusters based on which parties are most competitive in those seats. Given the shifting dynamics of Canada’s party system, we have relied on only the results of the past two elections. However, to assess where the parties stand in these 14 seat clusters, we need a lot of data. • A merge of the most recent three national surveys that include federal votes, creating a unweighted total of 7,555 respondents and a weighted total of 4,900. In each of our surveys, we collect postal codes. That allows us to create a riding variable for almost all our respondents and to group their responses by the riding they are in. The deck below shows the output from the analysis. The key finding is that, with the NDP in the doldrums, the Liberals are in a strong position coming into the race. Not only have they cemented their hold on last elections core seats, they may be able to gain seats to offsets the losses they will likely experience in the Toronto and Vancouver suburbs and Atlantic Canada.

    Chapter Three The Order Comes to Life: Appointments, Refinements and Change His Excellency has asked me to write to inform you that, with the approval of The Queen, Sovereign of the Order, he has appointed you a Member. Esmond Butler, Secretary General of the Order of Military Merit to Corporal R. L. Mailloux, I 3 December 1972 nlike the Order of Canada, which underwent a significant structural change five years after being established, the changes made to the Order of Military U Merit since 1972 have been largely administrative. Following the Order of Canada structure and general ethos has served the Order of Military Merit well. Other developments, such as the change in insignia worn on undress ribbons, the adoption of a motto for the Order and the creation of the Order of Military Merit paperweight, are examined in Chapter Four. With the ink on the Letters Patent and Constitution of the Order dry, The Queen and Prime Minister having signed in the appropriate places, and the Great Seal affixed thereunto, the Order had come into being, but not to life. In the beginning, the Order consisted of the Sovereign and two members: the Governor General as Chancellor and a Commander of the Order, and the Chief of the Defence Staff as Principal Commander and a similarly newly minted Commander of the Order. The first act of Governor General Roland Michener as Chancellor of the Order was to appoint his Secretary, Esmond Butler, to serve "as a member of the Advisory Committee of the Order." 127 Butler would continue to play a significant role in the early development of the Order, along with future Chief of the Defence Staff General Jacques A.
