As a result of the revisions to this information pamphlet approved by the Board last year, only a few editorial changes were being recommended.

It was requested that the text be sufficiently clear and descriptive to permit interpretation by a lay reader, which is the audience for this publication.

Under section number 2, Academic Responsibility, it was requested that the wording be clarified to explain that the right to access of University resources was limited to available resources. It was requested that number 5, Facilities, Telecommunications, and Property, have the word "University" inserted to denote that possessing or tampering with fire protection equipment was specifically University fire protection equipment.

NAUBCS REPORT ON NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF UNIVERSITY BOARD Report CHAIRS AND SECRETARIES (NAUBCS) 74/93 Mrs. Gelberg was invited to report on the annual meeting of the National Association of University Board Chairs and Secretaries (NAUBCS) held in Winnipeg in May. It was reported that in 1992 the NAUBCS membership had agreed to consider the structure of the organization, but that it should remain unincorporated with AUCC providing the Secretariat on a year-to-year basis. This year a statement of organization and bylaws were approved with the overall objectives of the organization being to improve the governance of Canadian universities. The NAUBCS Chair for 1993-94 is Robert Landry, Chair of the Board of Governors of the University of Ottawa. Affiliation with this group requires each institution to pay an annual membership fee, set at $250.00 for 1993-94, and new members pay a one-time $200.00 membership fee. Each university is responsible for travel and accommodations costs for anyone attending meetings on its behalf. Mrs. Gelberg listed the various sessions held during the conference and highlighted a presentation about achieving institutional change. She commented that organizational change is difficult, protracted and requires perseverance. The problem being that generic approaches do not account for organizational differences within universities such as climate, culture or structure. Universities are like countries; they are driven by their cultures and before any real institutional change can take place successfully, there must be a change in the culture. Mrs. Gelberg said that the speaker believed success would be more dependent upon astute political leadership and that the best strategy is a good process, not a detailed plan. A successful approach to University change combines aspects of structure, strategy, leadership, culture and communication. Mrs. Gelberg summarized points made at the conference which she thought were applicable to the University of Guelph's current situation, including: the need to take time to seek opportunities; that generally problems come from within; the need for a culture of continuous improvement; the need to develop quality indicators and be more customer friendly; the importance of merit pay; and that quality does not have to cost a lot. Mr. Brock noted the association's recognition of Mrs. Gelberg's long affiliation 5 June 22, 1993 and leadership role in NAUBCS by electing her to the position of honourary officer for 1993-94.

  • Commercial Urban Farm Models for Guelph, Ontario
    Commercial Urban Farm Models for Guelph, Ontario by Masha Kazakevich A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Masters of Landscape Architecture in Landscape Architecture Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Masha Kazakevich, May, 2013 ABSTRACT COMMERCIAL URBAN FARM MODELS FOR GUELPH, ONTARIO Masha Kazakevich Advisor: University of Guelph, 2013 Karen Landman The current food system relies on global industrial agriculture and undermines food security partly by destroying the economic underpinnings of a localised food system. The potential efficiency of ecologically-integrated local agriculture addresses the economic and environmental implications of climate change associated with the food chain. The purpose of this study was to examine and compare existing North American models of commercially successful UA from northern climates and to create sample designs of an urban agricultural (UA) enterprise for sites in Guelph, Ontario. A case study approach and literature review was used to elicit key components of successful UA. Results indicate that profitable small scale, ecologically integrated agri-enterprises require a high degree of technical and business skills. Two site-specific designs provide examples of how a commercial urban farm can be incorporated into the city matrix of Guelph, Ontario. Keywords: Entrepreneurial UA, f ood security; bio-regional food systems; sustainable urban design; food culture; urban resilience; municipal economics ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Thank you to my advisor, Karen Landman, for her clarity, wisdom and humour. Her support allowed me to balance the needs of my newborn son and the thesis work, without compromising the quality of either. It has been a great pleasure to work with Professor Landman and share our passion for UA.

  • Horse Meat Production in Canada
    Horse Meat Production in Canada How can Canadian consumers be sure that the meat they are buying is exactly what is stated on the package (i.e. if it is labelled beef, then it only contains beef, not horse meat or some other meat)? In Canada, it is illegal to sell food in a manner that is misleading or deceptive. Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) inspectors are present in all federally registered slaughter and processing establishments to verify that meat products are produced in accordance with Canadian law. In addition to visual inspection, the CFIA tests domestic and imported products to verify that verify that meat products are indeed the stated species. Compliance for both domestic and imported products is very high. The CFIA is aware that in 2013, horse meat was discovered in some otherwise labelled meat products in Europe. However, Canadian consumers should note two important facts. First, Canada does not currently permit beef imports from Europe. Second, in Canada, the potential use of horse meat as a substitute for beef would be unlikely. There are only four federally registered establishments that perform horse slaughter, and most of this meat is exported. In addition, the economic situation in Canada is different from Europe given that fresh beef here costs less than horse meat. What process does meat inspection follow in Canada to prevent the wrongful inclusion of horse meat? All food sold in Canada must comply with the Food and Drugs Act, the Food and Drug Regulations, and the Consumer Packaging and Labelling Act and Regulations. The Food and Drugs Act prohibits the sale of food in a manner that is false, misleading or deceptive.
