See story, page 13. 2 The Nugget Thursday, April 7, 2011 NEWS&FEATURES Flower power fights cancer By ANNA ESTANISLAO April is officially Daffodil Month! To others, the daffodil is simply a flower; however, to the Canadian Cancer Society it is a sign of hope against cancer. These yellow, cheerful flowers are used to symbolize hope and instill faith that cancer can be defeated. Last Wednesday, March 30, the Canadian Cancer Soci- ety dropped by the NAIT South Lobby and sold these cheer- ful flowers for a good cause. This was part of the Daffodil Days campaign. Some NAIT students also volunteered to help sell the daffodils to help raise money in support of the fight against cancer. Most of the students thought this was a great idea. “The proceeds will not only go to cancer research and fund- ing but buying the plant will also save the ozone layer against global warming,” said Jameel Waniwan, a NAIT Business Administration student. As the ozone layers continue to deplete, harmful UV rays turn out to be more damaging to the skin, which can lead to increased rates of skin cancer. All the funds will go to the best cancer research available and to programs or services for those affected with cancer. Daffodil Days began in Toronto in the 1950s. A group of Canadian Cancer Society volunteers organized a fundraising tea and decided to decorate the tables with daffodils. This soon came to be known as Daffodil Teas. Different volunteers encouraged the idea of Daffodil Teas which garnered a great deal of support. The Canadian Cancer Society raised over a $1,000 the first year. This idea was embraced by other provinces across Canada as well as the American Cancer Society. There are many different ways to raise awareness about can- cer. One of the events that the Canadian Cancer Society estab- lished is the Relay for Life.

  • The Shopkeeper's Privilege and Canadian Tort Law 29
    THE SHOPKEEPER’S PRIVILEGE AND CANADIAN TORT LAW 29 THE SHOPKEEPER’S PRIVILEGE AND CANADIAN TORT LAW MITCHELL MCINNES* AND ADAM SIMPSON** Shoplifting is a major issue in Canada, with 87 percent of small and medium sized stores victimized each year. As a result, shopkeepers face a difficult decision between allowing this loss of product, or detaining the individual and facing tortious liability for an unlawful arrest. The legal debate regarding allowing a shopkeeper’s privilege to detain an individual, when they have reasonable suspicion of theft, attempts to balance competing values of personal liberty and the protection of property. Due to the changing context surrounding this issue, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice recently endorsed the shopkeeper’s privilege in Mann v. Canadian Tire Corporation Ltd. In Mann, Justice Akhtar drew on existing Canadian, American, and United Kingdom jurisprudence to articulate a new test for shopkeeper’s privilege in Canada. TABLE OF CONTENTS I.

  • Woodward's After Bankruptcy History
    Woodward's after Bankruptcy History Charles Woodward established the first Woodward store at the corner of Main and Georgia Streets in Vancouver in 1892. On September 12, 1902, Woodward Department Stores Ltd. was incorporated, and a new store was built in Vancouver on the corner of Hastings and Abbott Streets. In 1926, a store was opened in Edmonton, and by the late 1940s, the company began to open numerous stores in both provinces. Facing financial difficulties, Woodward's was sold to the Hudson's Bay Company in 1993. Woodward's was a central feature of the retail scene especially in southwestern British Columbia for much of the twentieth century. The chain was distinctive in that the stores included a large supermarket (the "Food Floor") as an adjunct or at some locations part of the department store. When Woodward's sold the Food Floor - long known for its quality and its line of unusual specialties - to Safeway, the flagship food floor became a reduced-size IGA store until the building closed as Safeway showed no interest in that location. Many older western Canadians remember fondly Woodward's famous "$1.49 Day" sales, held the first Tuesday of every month. These sales were advertised widely on radio and in newspapers, and offered everything from canvas-top running shoes to bath oil for the one price. Most Woodward's locations were converted to HBC's Bay or Zellers stores by the end of 1993. Other major retailers took over several stores, and the remaining locations were either closed or were divided into mall retail space.
