  • OECD/IMHE Project Self Evaluation Report: Atlantic Canada, Canada
    OECD/IMHE Project Supporting the Contribution of Higher Education Institutions to Regional Development Self Evaluation Report: Atlantic Canada, Canada Wade Locke (Memorial University), Elizabeth Beale (Atlantic Provinces Economic Council), Robert Greenwood (Harris Centre, Memorial University), Cyril Farrell (Atlantic Provinces Community College Consortium), Stephen Tomblin (Memorial University), Pierre-Marcel Dejardins (Université de Moncton), Frank Strain (Mount Allison University), and Godfrey Baldacchino (University of Prince Edward Island) December 2006 (Revised March 2007) ii Acknowledgements This self-evaluation report addresses the contribution of higher education institutions (HEIs) to the development of the Atlantic region of Canada. This study was undertaken following the decision of a broad group of partners in Atlantic Canada to join the OECD/IMHE project “Supporting the Contribution of Higher Education Institutions to Regional Development”. Atlantic Canada was one of the last regions, and the only North American region, to enter into this project. It is also one of the largest groups of partners to participate in this OECD project, with engagement from the federal government; four provincial governments, all with separate responsibility for higher education; 17 publicly funded universities; all colleges in the region; and a range of other partners in economic development. As such, it must be appreciated that this report represents a major undertaking in a very short period of time. A research process was put in place to facilitate the completion of this self-evaluation report. The process was multifaceted and consultative in nature, drawing on current data, direct input from HEIs and the perspectives of a broad array of stakeholders across the region. An extensive effort was undertaken to ensure that input was received from all key stakeholders, through surveys completed by HEIs, one-on-one interviews conducted with government officials and focus groups conducted in each province which included a high level of private sector participation.

  • NEWFOUNDLAND SPRING SEALING DISASTERS to 19141 Shannon
    NEWFOUNDLAND SPRING SEALING DISASTERS TO 19141 Shannon Ryan The Newfoundland spring seal fishery began in the 1790s, when fishermen in small boats and schooners first ventured among the ice floes to hunt during March and April. The pelts included a rich layer of fat which produced valuable oil for Britain's ongoing industrialization, urbanization and commerce. The industry peaked in the 1840s, stabilized for about two decades, and began to decline during the 1860s. This decay accelerated during the 1880s and by the beginning of the twentieth century exports of seal oil and skins comprised only about five percent of Newfound• land's total exports, compared with thirty to forty percent at the apex. The developments which added to the problems of the industry in general, and to the difficulties experienced by the men who went to the ice in particular, cannot be contained within a discussion devoted to marketing, investment and working conditions alone. Sealing was constrained because of the forces of nature and the environment in which it operated. It is thus necessary to examine the extent to which the spring seal fishery was subject to hazards above and beyond those normally associated with the sea. There is a strong suggestion in Newfoundland literature that sealing was not only physically difficult but also unusually hazardous to lives and shipping. In 1905, for example, Levi G. Chafe, a noted local historian and compiler of sealing statistics, wrote that "there can be no doubt that one reason why the seal fishery developed and expanded very slowly was because it was realized that the enterprise could not be engaged in without great difficulty and risk.
