The difference of a single word – welfare versus work – led through selected events in the history of social work where similar differences led to disputes about important matters. The themes of the dispute are embedded in the Western Tradition with the emergence of social work and its development at the focal point for addressing the consequences described as a ‘painful disorientation generated at the intersections where cultural values clash.’ In early 1966, the University of Calgary was selected as the site for Alberta’s graduate level social work program following a grant and volunteers from the Calgary Junior League.

Its purpose was to gather data, input, and suggestions to guide curriculum developers in the development of the new program. A needs assessment questionnaire was the primary tool for gathering qualitative and quantitative data from educational partners and stakeholders. During the needs assessment process, respondents submitted 1526 questionnaires, including feedback from Aboriginal and Francophone respondents. This report enumerates the results, summarizing the areas of concern surrounding the existing high school social studies program, as identified by questionnaire respondents and consultation participants. The report cites as areas of concern: program content; program rationale; curriculum overlap; quantity of curricular content; and skills and processes. It also provides general advice and input provided by questionnaire respondents, and consultation participants, regarding breadth of coverage, depth of coverage, program focus, program content, skill development, two course sequences, learning and teaching resources, and stakeholder participation.

  • Harry M. Sanders Truth and Reconciliation Notes for Ward 9
    HARRY M. SANDERS TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION NOTES FOR WARD 9 1. Introduction In 2015, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC) released its final report, titled Honouring the Truth, Reconciling for the Future. The commission and its report ​ ​ addressed the damaging legacy of the residential school system and the policy behind it, which the report described as “cultural genocide.” At that time, City Council directed the Calgary Aboriginal Urban Affairs Committee to craft a response, which was published in 2016 as White Goose Flying: A Report to Calgary City Council on the Indian Residential School ​ Truth and Reconciliation—Calls to Action. In this context, Ward 9 Councillor Gian-Carlo ​ Carra concluded that a local-level response from his ward office would also be appropriate. Notably, Ward 9 includes the former site of the Calgary Indian Industrial School, an Anglican residential school that operated between 1896 and 1907. One of its students was Jack White Goose Flying (ca. 1878–1899), a Peigan teenager who died at the school and was the only student to be buried on its campus. The White Goose Flying ​ report was named for him. Councillor Carra tasked the author with examining evidence and reporting on the known associations of indigenous peoples with the area that comprises Ward 9. Using archival and published sources, archaeological reports, original research in newspaper accounts, and consultation with archaeologist Brian Vivian (a senior partner with Lifeways of Canada), the author has identified some of those associations, which have been categorized as follows: ● Indigenous peoples’ occupation/use of the land before contact/settlement (addressed below through archaeological evidence) ● Associations, including those of Métis people, following non-indigenous settlement/development (addressed below through written historical evidence and published sources) ● Names applied to natural features, built structures, neighbourhoods, etc.
