    2019-2020 City Hall School Report to Partners Students explore the East Village model at the East Village Experience Centre In partnership with: “I feel more connected to my city and more in the know. I definitely get the process a lot more as well as how the people within the government work and their effect on local citizens.” ~ Grade 5 student Students find hidden murals in Chinatown Exploring the city This year at City Hall School, students have explored downtown from St. Patrick’s Island on the east side to the Beltline murals on the west side. They have investigated community while looking at “Bridge” by Katie Green. Students visualized in the +15 Soundscape at Arts Commons. They have observed old buildings on Stephen Avenue, building construction of Platform Calgary, and how people used the upgraded underpasses. Each class came to City Hall School with a big idea that could be questions or thoughtful quotes. Two years ago, Journalling in the new Central Library there was a focus on public art and last year, classes were interested in sustainability and the natural world. This year, the main themes were being an active and responsible citizen as well as how to think in an innovative way. This year ended with an unexpected change. Due to the pandemic, all schools were closed in the middle of March. This led to many classes missing their chance to come to City Hall School. Fortunately, these classes are able to come during the 2020-2021 school year. How does City Hall School work? City Hall School is a five-day field study that is jointly run by The City of Calgary’s Calgary Neighbourhoods business unit and Campus Calgary/Open Minds.

  • Carolyn Bennett Minister, Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada
    Carolyn Bennett Minister, Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada AREVA Canada Inc.’s Proposed Kiggavik Uranium Mine Dear Ms. Bennett, In the coming weeks, your government will make a decision that will have major repercussions for the future of Nunavut. In May 2015, the Nunavut Impact Review Board (NIRB) released its final hearing report, recommending the Kiggavik uranium mine not be approved at this time. AREVA Resources Canada Inc. (AREVA) then wrote to your predecessor, requesting the Minister reject the NIRB recommendation. This was followed by a series of letters – from the Baker Lake Hunters and Trappers Organization (HTO), Kivalliq Wildlife Board, Aqiggiq HTO, Hamlet of Chesterfield Inlet, Beverly and Qamanirjuaq Caribou Management Board, and Mining Watch Canada – requesting the Minister uphold the NIRB recommendation and reject the Kiggavik proposal. I hope you will carefully consider the facts and arguments presented in the NIRB final hearing report and subsequent correspondence. Nunavummiut Makitagunarningit believes that the public record demonstrates that AREVA’s proposal should not be approved at this time, and that AREVA’s request to overturn the NIRB decision was unfounded and inappropriate. Nunavummiut Makitagunarningit also welcomed the statements made by the Hon. Hunter Tootoo during the election campaign. In an interview with Nunatsiaq News, Mr. Tootoo promised that, under the Liberal Party, it would be “the government that grants the licences, but the communities that grant permission.” The NIRB report and submissions to your predecessor clearly show that the most affected communities have not granted permission for this project to go ahead. Mr. Tootoo also told CBC News that the “Liberal party will go along with decisions made by a regulatory body without political interference.” Many Inuit from Nunavut heard these promises and elected Mr.

Trudeau Prime Minister of Canada Office of the Prime Minister 80 Wellington Street Ottawa, ON K1A 0A2 Dear Prime Minister, On behalf of the members of the Canadian Employee Relocation Council (CERC), I am writing to congratulate your government’s open approach to global trade, and particularly economic migration. CERC is a not for profit organization representing the interests of business in matters relating to the movement of employees for the purposes of employment, As you are aware, shortages of skilled workers are impacting economic growth and business expansion around the globe. The supply of highly skilled workers is not growing fast enough to meet the increasing demand and access to key talent is a priority for many companies. In fact, according to research conducted by PwC earlier this year, some 77 per cent of global CEOs worry that skills shortages could impair their company’s growth. At a time when many regions of the world are turning away from global trade, and public opposition to migration is building, we believe your government is taking the right approach in promoting the benefits of free trade and implementing more progressive immigration policies. The new Global Skills Strategy for example is one program that can help to attract the brightest and the best talent to Canada’s shores.

Conservatives share of vote is slightly higher than the Liberals, making major gains in key areas for the party • Bloc Quebecois (BQ) is a winner in this election, moving up to official party status which will give the party added resources as well as significance in the House of Commons • The NDP managed to win enough seats to potentially play an important role in the House of Commons, but the party took a big hit in Quebec — where they were only able to hold one of the Layton era “Orange Wave” seats • Maxime Bernier, who started the People’s Party of Canada after narrowly losing the Conservative leadership contest in 2017, lost the seat he has held onto since 2006 • The former Treasury Board president Dr. Jane Philpott, who ran as an independent following her departure from the liberal caucus, lost her seat in Markham Stouffville to former Liberal MPP and Ontario Minister of Health, Dr. Helena Jaczek.
