The policy applies to all Amnesty activities, including meetings such as the AGM. What follows has been prepared as a summary for the benefit of those attending the AGM. The full text of the policy is available from the national office upon request.* *In the case of any discrepancy between this document and the harassment policy, the latter shall prevail. The AGM: A Harassment and Discrimination-free Zone Principle AICS(ES) is firmly committed to the principle that all employees, volunteers and members have the right to be treated with respect and dignity and have the responsibility to treat others in the same manner. It is the right and responsibility of all AICS(ES) employees, volunteers and members to enjoy and support an environment free from all forms of harassment. The AGM: A Harassment and Discrimination-free Zone What are harassment and discrimination? The Branch policy defines them as follows: "Discrimination is an act, behavior or practice which may be intentional or unintentional and that has the purpose or effect of imposing burdens, obligations, disadvantages, or preferences on a person, or class of persons which are not imposed on others." “Harassment is any improper behavior that is known to be, or ought reasonably to be known to be, offensive or unwelcome. Harassment comprises perceived objectionable conduct, comment or display made on either a one-time or continuous basis that demeans, belittles, or causes personal humiliation or embarrassment to an individual.” The AGM: A Harassment and Discrimination-free Zone Prevention: the best policy. There are situations where a little openness can be very helpful. If you are not sure whether something you are going to say may cause offense, ask first. If something that has been said has caused offense, say so rather than letting it pass. If you are witness to offensive behavior, you can help defuse the situation by stepping in, or, if this is not possible, by informing the superiors of the person who caused offense of what happened. And if you have said something that caused offense, don't hesitate to apologize: even if you meant no harm, if your remarks or behavior caused hurt, there is a problem. The AGM: A Harassment and Discrimination-free Zone Making a Complaint There will be a person appointed to deal with any situation which may arise at the AGM. You will be informed at the Opening Plenary who this will be. What happens when a formal complaint is made? Once a formal complaint (i.e. one outlining the details in writing) has been made, there are two possible forms of resolution: mediation and investigation. Mediation. A mediator agreed upon by both parties to resolve the complaint will be appointed. If successful, mediation will lead to a written agreement among the parties. Investigation. If the parties do not agree to mediation, or if mediation takes place and the complainant is not satisfied with the outcome, it then becomes a case for investigation. The AGM: A Harassment and Discrimination-free Zone What kind of outcome can be expected? After a formal investigation, a report of the findings will be given to a member of the Executive Committee (EC), or to Senior Management when the respondent is a staff member.

  • Patron Perceptions of a Downtown Halifax Library
    Volume 3 | Issue 1 More Then Just Shelves: Patron Perceptions of a Downtown Halifax Library Emily Macrae, Stephanie Van de Vooren, Siobhan Witherbee Dalhousie University, [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT his paper explores how patrons conceive of the Spring Garden Road Memorial Library (SGL) in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Built in 1951 to commemorate local residents who died in the world wars, the SGL will be replaced by the Halifax T Central Library by the end of 2014. Our study combines on-site observation and interviews with library patrons to determine how users’ behavior at the SGL relates to their opinions of the current building, and the future Halifax Central Library. Although policy documents highlight the shortcomings of the SGL building, many patrons value the SGL because of its connection to local history, as well as its place in their everyday lives. The contrast between physical conditions and individual perceptions demonstrates the interplay between tangible and intangible factors in shaping urban space. Keywords: Halifax, Library, Public Space, Social Construction, Social Production 1 The JUE Volume 3 Issue 1 2013 1 The Spring Garden Road Memorial Library (SGL) is the oldest and largest branch in the network of Halifax Public Libraries. Centrally located next to a popular public park, the library also occupies a prominent position in the city’s downtown core. Built as a living memorial to local residents who died in the world wars, the SGL is caught between its commemorative origins and the contemporary needs of its users. The SGL is of particular interest not only because it is a historically1 significant 2institution that serves a diverse population, but also because the Halifax Central Library, proposed for completion by the end of 2014, will replace the Spring Garden Road branch.

  • Needs Assessment and Master Facilities Plan
    Halifax Public Libraries Needs Assessment and Master Facilities Plan Final Report July 2004 Serving Atlantic Canada with offices in Bedford and Moncton. ENGINEERING PLANNING SURVEYING MANAGEMENT CONSULTING Executive Summary Introduction Halifax Public Libraries services are considered a valuable community resource. The Library is widely recognized as the key organization supporting literacy and life-long learning for the public. The Library manages 14 Branch facilities within its network, and offers an “e-branch,” Books by Mail, a Mobile Library, and related services. As part of their planning process, the Halifax Public Libraries’ Board of Directors wants to further enhance their understanding of trends that impact on operations and capital development. Factors include population growth in Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM), changing demographics, shifts in urban/rural development, and commuter patterns. In light of this need, the Board has initiated a Needs Assessment and Master Facilities Plan. Terrain Group Inc. of Bedford, Nova Scotia, has been engaged to complete this assignment. Study Objectives The objectives of the study are to present recommendations and establish priorities regarding capital development in the Library system for an approximate ten-year planning horizon. Additional considerations include building capacity in an environment of fiscal restraint, and establishing a Central Library while strengthening the Branch network. Context A number of issues faced by the Halifax Public Libraries have been identified to date and should be addressed in the course of the study. These include the absence of a Central Library, repair and maintenance issues at the Spring Garden Road Branch in Halifax that are becoming cost prohibitive, and space constraints at the Woodlawn Branch in Dartmouth.
