Bulletin the Canadian Society of Plant Biologists/ La Société Canadienne De Biologie Végétale Bulletin The Canadian Society of Plant Biologists/ La Société canadienne de biologie végétale Message from the President Message du Président Dr. Geoffrey Wasteneys Dear CSPB/SCBV Members Welcome to another northern summer. For many CSPB members, this represents a shift from teaching to intensive research, for others the time to get the field trials completed, and for everyone, this is confer- ence season. Our AGM this year will be big as we join up with two other societies, our much larger sister society, the American Society of Plant Biologists (ASPB), and the International Society of Photosynthesis Research. Plant Biology 2018 will be held from July 14-18 at the Palais des congrès de Montréal. This con- ference has been in the planning stages for several years. Anja Geitmann and I, as part of the Scientific Planning Committee, have been meeting with our ASPB and ISPR counterparts since September 2016 to organize the scientific program. Last year, we welcomed François Ouellet from the Université de Québec à Montréal, who, together with Anja, is busy planning the local events associated with this large conference. At Plant Biology 2018, you can look forward to plenary talks in five major symposia covering ranslationalT Science, Cell and Developmental Biology, Innovative Technologies, the Ecophysiology of Photosynthesis, and Mechanisms of Genome Evolution, plus an awards symposium on Sunday that will feature our 2017 CD Nelson Award winner, Marcus Samuel.

The first section of the thesis deals with Macdon- aldts biography in an attempt to show those factors which prompted him to donata more than $14,000,000 to the field of education. It deals wi th his early life as a basis of this understanding. His maternaI and paternal heri tage and his immediate family relationships are examined, as are the devel- opment of his ambition, bis philosophy of life, his education and his early business enterprises. The second section dealing with McGill University details his involvement with that institution. It describes the physical condition and popular attitude toward the McGill Uni.versity of the mid-nineteenth century. The genesis and • growth of his interest are examined and traced to a deep , 2 commit~ment. It describes the ~pact of Macdonald's care- fu1ly studied benefactions on the University. A third section describes the genesis of Macdollald's interest in rural and teacher education and the contribution he made to its growth across Canada.

PUB TYPE Guides Non-Classroom (055) EDRS PRICE MF01/PCO2 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *College Curriculum; *College Instruction; Education Courses; Foreign Countries; *General Education; Higher Education; Institutional Evaluation; Program Implementation; *Self Evaluation (Groups) IDENTIFIERS *Quebec ABSTRACT This report provides a guide for evaluation of the implementation of the general education component of programs of studies in Quebec. The college education reform of 1993 has had a particularly strong impact on the general education component of education programs. To gauge the scope of changes made to general education and of efforts made to ensure implementation of the core component, the Commission d'evaluation de l'enseignement collegial has asked the Quebec college system to use this specific guide, which contains the information needed to aid the institutions in the self-evaluation process. Evaluation issues include access to quality general education, joint efforts in implementing general education, and effectiveness of general education implementation and academic success. Colleges are asked to use eleven sub-criteria. The sub-criteria are grouped to enable colleges to assess the implementation of pedagogical aspects, resources and management, and results. Clearly defined learning activities are consistent with the determined standards and objectives. Teacher competence and motivation are maintained and developed through research or professional development activities.

The aims of this paper are to document the fauna of forensically relevant Piophilidae species worldwide and to present an updated checklist and identifi cation key to the Nearctic species, as existing keys are either outdated, too broad in geographical scope to be user-friendly, and/or contain ambiguous characters. Thirteen species are included in the checklist and key.
