Responding to B.C.'S Illegal Drug Overdose Epidemic
Responding to B.C.’s Illegal Drug Overdose Epidemic Progress Update June/July 2018 BACKGROUND Despite escalated efforts across the province, B.C. continues to see record numbers of illegal drug overdose deaths. Data from the BC Coroners Service reports 1,451 people died from a preventable overdose death in 2017 and a further 878 people have died in 2018 between January 1 and July 31, 2018. Synthetic opioids, such as fentanyl, are increasingly being detected by drug checking services and in toxicology reports, demonstrating the issue of a contaminated, poisonous illegal drug supply. The overdose crisis reaches every corner of the province and has a disproportionate impact on males and First Nations people in British Columbia. Overdose Statistics in June and July 2018 In June 2018, 107 people died from an illegal drug overdose. Deaths in June represent a 15% decrease from June 2017 (123) and an 8% decrease from May 2018 (114). In July 2018, there were 134 illegal drug overdose deaths. This is a 12% increase from July 2017 (120) and a 25% increase from June 2018 (107) The majority (72%) of people who have died in 2018 were between the ages of 30 and 59; the vast majority (90%) of overdose deaths overall occurred among those aged 19 to 59. Males continued to be disproportionately represented, with 80% of all overdose deaths in 2018 occurring in men. The majority (88%) of overdose deaths in 2018 occurred indoors. This suggests the trend of people using drugs alone or in the presence of someone who is unwilling or unable to call 9-1-1 is continuing. -
The Evolving Muskoka Vacation Experience 1860-1945 by Geoffrey
The Evolving Muskoka Vacation Experience 1860-1945 by Geoffrey Shifflett A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geography Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2012 © Geoffrey Shifflett 2012 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This dissertation examines the development of tourism in Muskoka in the Canadian Shield region from 1860 to 1945. Three key themes are examined: the tourists, the resorts and projected image of the area. When taken together, they provide insight into the origin and evolution of the meanings attached to tourist destinations in the Canadian Shield. The Muskoka Lakes region provides the venue in which continuity and change in each of these elements of the tourism landscape are explored. This dissertation uses previously underutilized primary source materials ranging from hotel ledgers, financial reports, personal correspondence, period brochures, guidebooks, and contemporary newspaper articles to reconstruct the Muskoka tourist experience over an extended period of time. The volume of literature pertaining to American tourism history significantly outweighs similar work conducted on Canadian destinations. This dissertation, therefore, begins with an overview of key works related to the historical development of tourism in the United States followed by a survey of corresponding Canadian literature. The lack of an analytical structure in many tourist historical works is identified as a methodological gap in the literature. -

Selecting Women to Lead Provincial Parties in Government By Melanee Thomas Associate Professor Department of Political Science University of Calgary 2500 University Drive NW Calgary, AB T2N 1N4 Abstract: The majority of Canada’s women premiers were selected to that office while their parties held government. This is uncommon, both in the comparative literature and amongst premiers who are men. What explains this gendered selection pattern to Canada’s provincial premiers’ offices? This paper explores the most common explanation found in the comparative literature for women’s emergence as leaders of electorally competitive parties and as chief political executives: women are more likely to be selected when that party is in crisis or decline. Using the population of women provincial premiers in Canada as case studies, evidence suggests 3 of 8 women premiers were selected to lead parties in government that were in crisis or decline; a fourth was selected to lead a small, left-leaning party as predicted by the literature. -
2018 British Columbia Building Code Public Review of Proposed Changes
2018 British Columbia Building Code Public Review of Proposed Changes PROPOSED CHANGE: Radon CHANGE NUMBER: 2018-BCBC-11-Radon CODE REFERENCE(S): 2015 National Building Code - Division A - Subsection 1.1.3., Division B - Subsection 9.13.4. RELATED CODE REFERENCE(S): Division B / Table C-3 in Appendix C DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT: It is proposed to change the application of radon protection requirements to defer to the data established by the authority having jurisdiction and, in the absence of such data, to a revised table in the British Columbia Building Code (BCBC). PROBLEM/GENERAL BACKGROUND: The BCBC is based substantially on the model National Building Code of Canada (NBC). The NBC is updated about every five years and British Columbia adopts most of the NBC requirements into the next edition of the BCBC. However, the table of locations requiring radon rough-ins is unique to British Columbia. As such, the Province must update this table periodically. Health Canada guidelines for indoor radon concentration establish an annual average concentration of 200 Bq/m³. In locations where there is evidence of radon concentration in buildings exceeding the Health Canada guidelines, a means to address high radon concentrations in the future is required by the BCBC, should unacceptable indoor radon concentrations be found once the building is completed. 2018 PROPOSED BRITISH COLUMBIA CODE LANGUAGE (Deleted text / Added text): 1.1.3. CLIMATIC AND SEISMIC DESIGN DATA 1.1.3.1. Climatic and Seismic Values 1) <Except as required by Sentence 9.7.4.3.(2), the climatic and seismic values required for the design of buildings under this Code shall be in conformance with the values established by the authority having jurisdiction or, in the absence of such data, with Sentence (2) and the climatic and seismic values in Appendix C. -

2019 Election: Seat Clusters June to September Survey Results
2019 Election: Seat Clusters June to September Survey Results August 2019 2 Overview In Canada, we count seats, not vote. Just like in American Presidential elections, you can win the popular vote and lose the election. In fact, that happened to Justin Trudeau’s father in 1979. The general way analysts address that is to look at seats by region. However, seats in the same region can move differently. This release tries to get closer to reality in the seat-by-seat contest. Our analysis combines two projects: • An analysis of federal election districts (which we call “seats”) that groups them into 14 clusters based on which parties are most competitive in those seats. Given the shifting dynamics of Canada’s party system, we have relied on only the results of the past two elections. However, to assess where the parties stand in these 14 seat clusters, we need a lot of data. • A merge of the most recent three national surveys that include federal votes, creating a unweighted total of 7,555 respondents and a weighted total of 4,900. In each of our surveys, we collect postal codes. That allows us to create a riding variable for almost all our respondents and to group their responses by the riding they are in. The deck below shows the output from the analysis. The key finding is that, with the NDP in the doldrums, the Liberals are in a strong position coming into the race. Not only have they cemented their hold on last elections core seats, they may be able to gain seats to offsets the losses they will likely experience in the Toronto and Vancouver suburbs and Atlantic Canada. -
