  • SKHS Annual Report 2006
    ACTING DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT The School of Physical and Health Education formally became the School of Kinesiology and Health Studies at Queen’s University through an act of Queen’s Senate on 24 May 2006. The new School of Kinesiology and Health Studies is pleased to provide the seventh annual report on its undertakings and the first report under its new name. This is also my first report as Acting Director of the School. The achievements of our faculty and students were numerous and impressive in 2006. The School’s academic programs consist of a revitalized program in Physical Education, an emerging program in Health Studies, and a new program in Kinesiology that will be launched in September 2007. These programs are positioned to address contemporary concerns, meet students’ needs, and help set research and policy agendas. Our programs reflect a breadth of teaching and research topics from the social sciences underpinning diversity, participation, equity and inclusion, to the epidemiological, biomechanical, and physiological study serving research in health, physical activity, obesity, and sport. Much of this teaching and research focus is distinctive for its critical engagement with the real world. The extensive listing of work in peer reviewed journals, practical reports, policy papers, and the popular press and the high student demand for our programs are evidence of the quality of the teaching and research that is conducted within the School. The research work carried out within the School continues to be supported by several external granting agencies including new grants obtained in 2006 from CIHR, NSERC, the Ontario Ministry of Research and Innovation (OMRI), and the International Development Research Center (IDRC).

Nearly 100 trees and bushes, including red maple, elm, ash, willow, poplar and serviceberry were placed in the western and northern sections of the park by an enthusiastic group, which shrugged off the occasional drizzle (which was perfect for the trees, however). The planting supervisors arrived at 8 a.m. to set up the registration and re- freshment tables, run through a practice planting and as- sign tasks for the day.

The mayor came to the Glebe in early January and, to our surprise, he brought with him his chief of staff, the manager for eco- nomic development and the direc- tor for planning and the environ- ment. We discussed three key sub- jects. First: What is the city's vi- sion for the downtown core? Is the Glebe part of the downtown core? Second: Why does the city contin- ue to favour areas managed by BIAs (Business Improvement Ar: eas). For the record, a BIA is an area where all businesses (like it or not) pay an additional tax levy to fund projects and pay for services (which used to be provided by the city).
