The information was placed at first on a bulletin board in the SPECTRUM Office. When SPECTRUM spun off from the Waterloo Region Rainbow Coalition in February 2013, SPECTRUM created its own website with the directory information online as part of the website. With time, the num- ber of categories in the online directory grew and the amount of information increased. In July 2014, SPECTRUM decided that it would be useful to publish a condensed ver- sion of the online directory – retaining every entry, but shortening each one to a managea- YOUR AD HERE! ble form.

  • Interpretation of Social Media Identity in the Era of Contemporary Globalization
    Interpretation of Social Media Identity in the Era of Contemporary Globalization By Laila Hyo-Sun Shin Rohani A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Management Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Laila Rohani, December, 2015 ABSTRACT INTERPRETATION OF SOCIAL MEDIA IDENTITY IN THE ERA OF CONTEMPORARY GLOBALIZATION Laila Rohani Advisor: University of Guelph, 2015 Dr. May Aung The new reality of contemporary globalization and its impact on consumers is an on-going interest to scholars from many disciplines. This study is positioned to take the understanding of this new reality to the context of social media consumers. The primary objective of this research is to explore how consumers create and portray their social media identities in the era of contemporary globalization by reflecting the global social media context as well as their own social and cultural backgrounds. In order to achieve the research objective, this study embraced the globalization conceptual background and the concept of self/others. Specifically, this research explores the social media consumption behaviour (the creation of self and others) of two groups of Facebook (FB) consumers, Canadian FB consumers and Korean FB consumers. Three sub-sets of FB consumption culture: personal identity building culture, social networking culture, and brand engagement culture relevant to Facebook consumption context are examined. This study involves three stages, starting with the preliminary examination of Facebook attributes using quantitative approach. The second stage involves participant observation and content analysis of 100 FB profile pages. The last stage involves in-depth interviews of Canadian and Korean FB users.

  • Baker District - Project Update - 2020-148
    Baker District - Project Update - 2020-148 General Correspondence – Revised Agenda *** We do not need yet another iteration of not funding a new library due to OTHER PRIORITIES. That rational has become a red herring to those who do not understand the proven countless benefits to all age cohorts in any community. Thank you for listening. Sharleen Cornelius Ward 5 *** This is to voice our displeasure at this proposal. We do not need a new library! It is quite obvious that the councillors in favour of this have not paid attention to the current pandemic and the costs associated with it. This discussion has been going on for years and each time the majority of the Guelph citizens have said NO! Councillors, take note and listen to the very people and their families that will have to pay for this. Why didn't we use the old post office when offered. It was going to be so reasonable to purchase and renovate? But no, these self righteous ones wanted brand new! Enough is enough! Wayne and Vivian Warren *** This library project should be cancelled. Its not feasible in the current climate. Jordan Vaughan-werner *** I am writing to express my compete support of the Baker Street development. The city desperately needs a new downtown library. The pandemic has highlighted to me even more strongly how out of date the current downtown library is. It is tight and cramped and doesn’t have the space necessary for ease of use and accessibility, even when we aren’t required to maintain 6 feet of distance from others.
