At the heart of this agenda are the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), an urgent call for action by all countries — poor, rich and middle-income — to promote prosperity while protecting the planet. They recognize that ending poverty must go hand-in-hand with strategies that build economic growth and address a range of social needs including education, health, social protection, and job opportunities, while tackling climate change and environmental protection.1 COVID-19 is spreading human suffering, destabilizing the global economy and upending the lives of billions of people around the globe. The pandemic is an unprecedented wake-up call, laying bare deep inequalities and exposing precisely the failures that are addressed in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Paris Agreement on climate change. Leveraging this moment of crisis, when usual policies and social norms have been disrupted, bold steps can steer the world back on track towards the Sustainable Development Goals. This is the time for change, for a profound systemic shift to a more sustainable economy that works for both people and the planet. The Sustainable Development Goals are vital for a recovery that leads to greener, more inclusive economies, and stronger, more resilient societies.2 1 https://sdgs.un.org/goals 2 https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/sdgs-framework-for-covid-19-recovery/ PAW 2021 program Day One: Tuesday, February 2, 2021 Emcee: Dr.

    ISSUE 1, 2020 WHY MOVE NORTH? To enjoy life as it should be lived. P4 NORTHERN HEALTH CARE It’s mainly free and readily accessible. P7 HOOKED ON THE NORTH They came for a year and stayed a lifetime. P10 NUMBER 1, 2020 MOVEMOVE UP UP 1 ON THE COVER: CATHIE ARCHBOULD; LEFT: MICHAEL DAVIES PANGNIRTUNG, NUNAVUT PANGNIRTUNG, How I became a Northerner I am one of thousands of Canadians who moved North from southern Canada. Like many who make the move, I promised my employer I would stay a year, maybe two. Now, some 40 years later, I’m still here. But why? I left a job in a downtown Toronto office tower to take a position in Yellowknife, a place I knew nothing about. I left my friends behind, sold my trusty Volkswagen convertible and packed my belongings for the movers. I arrived on New Year’s Eve and the temperature was hovering around minus 40 C, far beyond the warming capabilities of my southern duffel coat and leather boots. And it was dark. Sunrise was somewhere around 10 am and by 3:30 pm it was dark again. This was not where I wanted to be. For the first month I vowed to find the fastest route back to Toronto the minute my promised year was completed. And then the change set in. I made new friends. I was promoted by my employer. I tried cross country skiing. Bought a pass for daily swims at the community pool. Started a branch of the professional organization I belonged to in Toronto, and recog- nized people I bumped into when I picked up my mail at the post office.

    C atalogue of Artists and Programs 2020/2021 Welcome to Artist in the School 2020-21 What is Artist in the School? » The Artist in the School (AIS) program is designed to give Yukon students the opportunity to be instructed and inspired by practicing Artists, and to learn to work with a variety of art forms and media. » Artists of all disciplines are encouraged to put together a program they feel would be appealing to students and that reflects their own media. Online programming is also available to all Yukon schools via Zoom and prerecorded workshops. How does the Artist in the School program work? » Every Yukon school is allocated a certain number of AIS hours to spend working with Artists. The base number of hours is 20 per school, per year and increases depending on school enrollment (2.50 additional hours per 50 students). » Each school has an Artist in the School representative that coordinates how the school spends their AIS hours. Some schools use their AIS hours on one big project involving the whole school, others divide the hours between individual classes.

  • A Focus on Electoral Reform
    Canadian eview Focus on Electoral Reform. CANADIAN PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW/WINTER 2016 1 Made of copper and gold-plated, Ontario’s Mace was crafted in Ottawa in 1867. It is the third Mace to be used in the province’s history since the establishment of the Legislature during colonial times in 1792. The province’s first Mace was captured by American soldiers during the War of 1812 and later returned, and the second – dating from around 1845 - ended up in the federal parliament following Confederation in 1867 and was subsequently destroyed during a 1916 fire. Sitting underneath the crown within decorative leaves, the cup of the current Mace features the insignia of King Edward VII. The original cup bore the initials V.R. for Victoria Regina and was recently rediscovered among the collection at the Royal Ontario Museum. It is now on display in the Legislative Building lobby. In 2009, the first two diamonds mined in Ontario were mounted into the crown of the Mace. One was left in the rough to represent the mining process, and the other was polished to signify the value of the diamond industry in Ontario. The polished diamond was inscribed with the Legislative Assembly of Ontario’s motto Audi Alteram Partem – “Hear the Other Side”. Parliamentary Protocol and Public Relations Branch, Legislative Assembly of Ontario 2 CANADIAN PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW/FALL 2016 Maisei Raman & Doug McLean/shutterstock.com The Canadian Parliamentary Review was founded in 1978 to inform Canadian legislators about activities of the federal, provincial and territorial branches of the Canadian Region of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association and to promote the study of and interest in Canadian parliamentary institutions.
