April 28, 2020 Honourable Catherine Mckenna Minister of Infrastructure
April 28, 2020 Honourable Catherine McKenna Minister of Infrastructure and Communities [email protected] Dear Minister McKenna, We write as twenty (20) business organizations representing a broad cross-section of Manitoba’s economy collectively employing tens of thousands of women and men. Those industries include engineering & consulting, heavy civil and 2 vertical construction, commercial and residential development, manufacturing & exporting, retail, agriculture, commercial trucking and skilled trades. Our appeal to the federal government is that it assist in our provincial economic recovery by accelerating the approvals of and flexibility in the allocation from federal programs. Such measures would enable funding of key Manitoba projects that would immediately procure jobs, build legacy assets and be key instruments in help kick-staring Manitoba’s economy. The above is necessary to help correct the lack of confidence in the economy by all its sectors, the alarm, anxiety and fear of what lies ahead around the corner, and indeed where that corner is. That has led to private-sector projects being deferred or outright canceled. Those decision have resulted in lost jobs, supply and equipment sales, all of which reduces the collective ROI to GDP. Addressing consumer and investor confidence is critical to our recovery. In that regard, we understand the Province of Manitoba has communicated its commitment to flow its capital programs, harnessing investment in infrastructure to help Manitoba’s economy recover. We are told Manitoba has more than $6B in project submissions for the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP) with many being shovel ready. We urge the federal government to make the most of the current market conditions - competitive bid prices and extraordinarily low interest rates - to meet the formidable economic challenge in front of us. -

EARLIER YEARS of the EDMONTON CENTRE Royal Astronomical Society of Canada E
"The Earlier Y ears of the Edm onton Centre" R oyal Astronomical Soci ety of Canada E. S. Keeping THE EARLIER YEARS OF THE EDMONTON CENTRE Royal Astronomical Society of Canada E. S. Keeping The Edmonton Centre came into existence in 1932, mainly because of the interest and enthusiasm of Dr. J. W. Campbell, Professor of Mathematics at this University. His special field was Mechanics and Astronomy and for many years he gave a course on general descriptive astronomy. At that time the R.A.S.C. was about 30 years old, and was expanding vigorously under the leadership of Dr. Chant, the grand old man of Canadian astronomy. Starting in Toronto, new centres were formed in Ottawa, Peterborough, Hamilton, Winnipeg, Regina, Guelph, Victoria, Montreal, London and Vancouver, all before Edmonton, although some of these subsequently died out. There are now seventeen centres across Canada, from Victoria to St. John's, Newfoundland. A preliminary meeting was held in the Arts Building of the University in January 1932, at which Dr. Campbell explained that we would need 50 members to start a new Centre. In February a petition, with the necessary number of signatures, was forwarded to head office in Toronto, and in March the authorization was granted. That same month officers were elected and a constitu tion and by-laws were drawn up. The first president was naturally Dr. Campbell. I was vice-president, and Dr. E. H. Gowan of the Physics Department was Treasurer. Few, if any, of the founding members, except myself, still belong to the centre. The member ship fee at that time was $2.00 per year, for which one obtained the Handbook and ten issues of the Journal. -

June 3, 2021 Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson, P.C., M.P. Minister of Environment and Climate Change [email protected] Mr. Dan Albas, M.P. Conservative Shadow Minister for Environment and Climate Change [email protected] Ms. Laurel Collins, M.P. NDP Critic for Environment and Climate Change [email protected] Mme Monique Pauzé Bloc Québécois Critic for Environment [email protected] Ms. Annamie Paul Leader of the Green Party of Canada [email protected] Dear Minister Wilkinson, Mr. Albas, Ms. Collins, Madame Pauzé, Ms. Paul, As organizations concerned with environmental health, we have long advocated for modernization of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act and recognition in law of the right to a healthy environment. We therefore welcomed the introduction of Bill C-28, the Strengthening Environmental Protection for a Healthier Canada Act and urge all political parties to prioritize its passage with improvements. These are our initial recommendations for strengthening Bill C-28. As you know, CEPA provides the legislative framework for protecting human health and the environment from pollution and toxics. The law has not been significantly amended for more than two decades, yet sources of pollution and our scientific understanding of risks have 1 changed dramatically over this time. Four years ago, the House Standing Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development reviewed CEPA and all parties agreed it should be modernized. Now, the climate emergency, global plastic pollution and a respiratory illness pandemic make strengthening CEPA an even more urgent priority, to protect the environment and the health of all people in Canada — particularly those who are marginalized and those in vulnerable situations, including Indigenous people, women, workers and racialized communities. -

Defense Committee Client: Harmony Foundation of Canada Supervisor: Dr. Kimberly Speers School of Public Administration, University of Victoria Second Reader: Dr. Jill Chouinard School of Public Administration, University of Victoria Chair: Dr. Bart Cunningham School of Public Administration, University of Victoria [1] Acknowledgements Almost every year during spring break until 2020, I took my son back to China. It was the opportunity for him to experience Chinese culture – the food, the landscape, the people and their dialects, even the smells in the air. It was also a reunion with my parents, time for me to take care of them so that my sister could have a break. When China started to lock down the city of Wuhan in January 2020, I worried about my family and friends in China, but I thought it would pass in a few months, like SARS some years ago. Unfortunately, I still cannot enter China with my Canadian passport. I immigrated to Canada almost 14 years ago and became a Canadian citizen in 2015. It has been a good decision, and I have successfully built my new life.
