Continuing in the fine (recent) tradition of physicians editing a newsletter that historically has mostly been about current affairs and politics, I am delighted to take the rein from Luke Pike (Newfoundland & St. John’s 2007) with this, my first issue of the CARS newsletter as editor. We have an all-new CARS Executive as well, and have spent the last half year getting to know each other and locating the bylaws in various basements and shoeboxes around the country (see our President’s letter for more details). My sincere thanks to Mark Schaan (Prairies and New 2002) for his leadership as President over these past few years and to Katie Sheehan (Prairies and Merton 2002) for her guidance in putting together this newsletter. You will note that Steve Aylward describes this process as ‘cat-herding’; as a proud born-and-raised Albertan I would prefer ‘cattle-herding’ or something to that effect, but the metaphor is ultimately the same.

Employees will have paid leave, allowing them to attend medical, counselling or other appointments, look for a new home or school for their children, and rebuild their lives. “Domestic and sexual violence are deeply traumatizing crimes,” said Tracy Porteous, Executive Director, Ending Violence Association of British Columbia. “Although the road ahead may be the most https://www.voiceonline.com/paid-leave-for-workers-facing-domestic-or-sexual-violence/ 1/3 3/3/2020 Paid leave for workers facing domestic or sexual violence | Indo-Canadian Voice difficult one that survivors will encounter, it can make a huge difference having informed and respectful people and processes in place that provide those harmed by these crimes the time to begin to heal.

  • Is Diatom Richness Responding to Catchment Glaciation? a Case Study from Canadian Headwater Streams
    J. Limnol., 2012; 71(1): 72-83 DOI: 10.4081/jlimnol.2012.e7 Is diatom richness responding to catchment glaciation? A case study from Canadian headwater streams Doris GESIERICH*, and Eugen ROTT Institute of Botany, University of Innsbruck, Sternwartestrasse 15, 6020 Innsbruck, Austria *Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT Due to global change affecting glaciers worldwide, glacial streams are seen as threatened environments deserving specific scientific interest. Glacial streams from the Coast Range and Rocky Mountains in British Columbia and at the border to Alberta were investigated. In particular glacial streams and downstream sites in the Joffré Lakes Provincial Park, a near by mountain river and two large glacial streams in the Rocky Mountains (Kootenay Range, Jasper National Park) were studied. Regardless of a high variability of catchment glaciation (1 to 99%) thin organic biofilms with firmly attached diatom frustules of the genera Achnanthidium, Psammothidium, En- cyonema, Gomphonema and fragilaroid taxa were found in all cases. In spite of fundamentally different geological conditions between the Coast Range sites and the Rocky Mountain sites, the pioneer taxon Achnanthidium minutissimum (with a slimy long ecomorph) was dominating quantitatively in most of the glacier stream samples together with the rheobiontic Hannaea arcus. Individual glacier stream samples were characterized by the dominance of Achnanthidium petersenii and Gomphonema calcifugum/Encyonema latens. The diatom community analysis (cluster analysis) revealed the expected separation of glacier stream sites and sites of the lower segments of the river continuum (e.g., dominance of Diatoma ehrenbergii in the mountain river). In the Joffré area, the total species richness of turbid glacial streams close to the glacier mouth was significantly lower than in the more distant sites.
