This report has been compiled from a collective effort over many years, by a committed group of faculty, staff, students, university administrators and colleagues, as well as community members, who have played pivotal roles in the founding of not only a new school of architecture, but one that challenges the way we think about architectural education in relation to our Northern Ontario context. Many people from the School and the University have contributed to this report. I would like to offer special gratitude to our Administrative Assistants, Victoria Dominico and Tina Cyr, for devoting their time to this effort. Our Founding Director, Dr. Terrance Galvin, has provided invaluable guidance and devoted significant energy into the accreditation process since the School’s inception, and this report is no exception.

Using the new Green Line Light Rail Transit (LRT) project in Calgary as a platform for new ideas, the call aims to rethink the present and future of transportation. As technology advances continue to transform mobility, considerations of sustainable, economic, inclusive and accessible options for urban living are something not to be considered lightly. Public infrastructure and the systems that we create to facilitate movement within the urban realm are a design responsibility of human concern. Which leads us to movement. What is the relationship between the animate and inanimate as we define how we move? Can our children move freely and we feel that they are safe? How can a person with cognitive challenge get to a transit stop on their own? How do we begin to understand the Indigenous pre- railway history of this landscape? How do we ensure that design reflects and advances an inclusive city? What physical barriers might we shed? This call seeks ideas that explore how we move today and how, as humans, we will move tomorrow. 3. introduction ment THE CALGARY CONTEXT Calgary’s first transit was introduced in 1909 with the opening of the city’s History: For thousands of years, people of the Blackfoot Confederacy, streetcar service.

The Waterfront Design Review Panel (WDRP) welcomes the participation of everyone working to revitalize Toronto’s waterfront. The Panel includes some of Canada’s most accomplished city-building professionals; together, they seek to engage designers, developers, and government agencies in a public dialogue about the future of our city. Everyone who participates in the design review process helps contribute to Toronto’s evolution as a centre of progressive urbanism, sustainability and design excellence. Land Acknowledgement The Waterfront Design Review Panel acknowledges that the land and water upon which we are all designing and building has been for thousands of years the traditional territory of many nations, including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples and is now home to diverse First Nations, Inuit and Metis people.

  • This Is the Format to Be Used For
    AGENDA ITEM NO: 8.1 UNIVERSITY COUNCIL PLANNING AND PRIORITIES COMMITTEE REQUEST FOR DECISION PRESENTED BY: Lisa Kalynchuk, Chair, Planning and Priorities Committee DATE OF MEETING: May 19, 2016 SUBJECT: Disestablishment of the three divisions in the College of Arts and Science DECISION REQUESTED: It is recommended: That Council approve the disestablishment of the Division of Humanities and Fine Arts, the Division of Social Sciences, and the Division of Science from within the College of Arts and Science, effective November 1, 2016, and that Council’s Bylaws be amended to reflect the disestablishment of the divisions and the divisional faculty councils. PURPOSE: The College of Arts and Science seeks to dissolve the Division of Humanities and Fine Arts, the Division of Social Sciences, and the Division of Science within the college. As these are academic units, Council approval is required. CONTEXT AND BACKGROUND: Before the implementation of a new administrative structure in the College of Arts and Science, effective July 1, 2015, the college’s senior administrative organization and the college’s collegial governance structure were in alignment. Divisional vice-deans for each of the Humanities and Fine Arts, the Social Sciences, and the Sciences were responsible for each division. When a new administrative structure comprising of a vice- dean, academic; vice-dean, research, scholarly and artistic works; and vice-dean, faculty affairs was implemented, the divisional focus by disciplinary area was lost. As a result the college sought to restructure its collegial governance to align with its administrative governance. CONSULTATION: Governance committee Although faculty councils approve their own faculty council bylaws, the governance committee actively encourages colleges to consult with it on any changes to faculty council bylaws.
