The Green Annual Report 2008-2009 THE GREEN ANNUAL REPORT 2008-2009 UPPER CANADA COLLEGE SUSTAINABILITY FELLOWS Premek Hamr, Mark Baxter and Max Perren Compiled and edited by Dr. P. Hamr, Senior Sustainability Fellow INTRODUCTION The Green team this year was composed of three Sustainability fellows: Dr. Premek Hamr, Senior Fellow (Upper School Science Dept.) as well as Mr. Mark Baxter and Mr Max Perren (Prep School), Junior fellows. The goal continued to be infusing sustainability into the curriculum and the general culture at the Upper and Prep Schools by recruiting teachers to act as ambassadors and having them actively engage in curriculum enrichment and lead collective initiatives. At the Upper School, the curriculum development concentrated largely on Science this year while at the preparatory school the focus remained more general. The following report documents the initiatives undertaken by the team in the school year 2008 – 2009. Monarch Butterfly at Norval Outdoor School. Photo B.Elgie SUMMARY OF INITIATIVES General shift in culture toward sustainability at the Upper School • Selected and aired monthly environmental music video “e-tunes” in assembly. This year included international artists such as Roger Waters, Marvin Gaye, Elvis, Crowded House, as well as Yannick Noah (French Language video). The videos continued to be well-received by students and faculty alike and contributed to a positive image for the Green School. • Kept up with sustainability in the news (magazines, newspapers, Internet) and updated the Green School bulletin board regularly. Informed faculty and students of important news and articles as well as of up coming Green Events in the Greater Toronto Area. The two major areas of education dealt with bottled water and petrochemicals/plastics. • UCC Biodiversity: Began compiling a list of animals seen or residing on the UCC Deer Park campus. To date, we have documented 8 species of mammals and 86 species of birds. (A list of trees on campus has previously been compiled and published.) Curriculum Development • Attended Heads of Department (APAC) meetings from September 2008 to May 2009 to provide sustainability input into academics. An example of input was the planned curriculum focus for Earth Week 2009 where each teacher prepared a lesson plan dealing with a given aspect of sustainability relevant to their course. • Toured Sandy Cunningham, Green representative from Nichols Middle School in Buffalo, to explain UCC sustainability initiatives (facilities and curriculum). Ms. Cunningham sat in on three science classes at the Upper School (on November 14th) and discussed the integration of sustainability into curriculum with Dr. Hamr and Ms. Burness. She will return in the spring to observe aquatic fieldwork at UCC’s Norval Outdoor Education Centre and has invited us to visit the Nichols School next spring. • Researched and suggested professional development opportunities for staff: Stratus winery (Niagara, Ontario – all organic products & LEED-certified facilities) and CBC documentary (see summary below): Green PD Video This documentary on CBC is a must-see, especially for educators in an all boys school. It is 43 minutes long, but I feel very strongly we should all be aware of these issues and try to minimize these effects in the boys’ lives. It may also be something our entire faculty should see and be aware of. http://www.cbc.ca/documentaries/doczone/2008/disappearingmale/infertility.html# • Organized alternative programme for Year 1 and Year 2 (Grades 8 & 9) during the World Affairs Conference at the Kortright Center. Students attended the following programs: Conserving Energy, Green Student and Living Sustainably. The program objectives included developing and understanding the sustainable use of our natural resources to help preserve our local environment. Students were shown that personal practices and choices in their daily routines can make a difference. The program addressed 4 major topic areas. These included: • Waste reduction and the three R’s • Renewable energy • Toxins in our homes and the environment • Water as a resource and its treatment The students were involved in hands-on activities and games that illustrated these topics, as well as participated in a “renewable energy scavenger hunt” at the Kortright energy cottage. At the conclusion of the program, students were challenged to apply what they learned to their home, school, and community environments. Year 1& 2 Aquatic Program Development and Implementation: Continued to facilitate development of the Y1/Y2 Aquatic program at Norval. Autumn 2008: Assisted and facilitated field and lab work in Y2 Science at Norval (part of the development of the freshwater water quality and aquatic biodiversity monitoring stream in Y1/Y2 and IB1/IB2). The freshwater crayfish monitoring will be switched from spring to fall as it is much more efficient and safe for the students because of low water levels. Spring 2009: Spent 5 days at Norval between April 29 and May 12. The final plan for the two-year program is to familiarize the Y1 student with the methods and equipment involved in the long-term crayfish study during the general spring Y1 Norval programme. The study itself will be conducted as a part of the Y2 curriculum (ecology/climate change units) in autumn of the following year. Students will be familiar with identification of the species monitored and the use of the relevant equipment (water chemistry and flow meters). The needed equipment was purchased by the science department this year while methodology and guide for the study was developed in 2007/08. Y1 Aquatic Program Norval, April - May 2009 Photos: P. Hamr Students conducting aquatic studies in the Credit River at Norval. Upper School Service trip to Peru : Two Upper School students (Karim Rahemtulla, IB1 & Spencer Sample, FY) and Mr. Breton (Science Dept) participated in the second annual Operation Wallacea (OPWAL) Peru expedition over March break. The 2-week trip involved extensive biodiversity monitoring of dolphins, monkeys, game birds, fish & Macaws in the Pacaya-Samiria reserve. The trip allowed the boys to practice biological monitoring methods, as well as to understand management problems within a large reserve while exposing them to the local culture and people. Another trip will run in March 2010 and FY (Grade 10) and IB 1 (Grade 11) UCC students will be encouraged to use the data collected for their IB 1 extended essays. Photo: K. Rahemtulla Rubicon Atlas Curriculum mapping: Attended Rubicon Atlas Curriculum mapping software workshop at Crescent School in October 2008 to become more familiar with the system in order to be able to enter and track Green Curriculum at the Upper School. Contacted Mary Gauthier to have the Environmental Systems and Societies course outline entered in the Atlas by Rubicon representatives. Entered data into curriculum map for the course in cooperation with Ms. Wendy Burness (Science Dept.) Tracked Sustainability/Environmental units in Rubicon to monitor the amount of green curriculum being covered in class content. A final summary of entries as of May 2009 dealing with environment and sustainability is summarized in the six charts below: “Environmental” Search Criteria: 75 entries. (up from 47 since November 08 = 60 % increase) “Sustainability” Search Criteria: 42 entries (up from 31 since November 08 = 36 % increase) Outdoor Classroom: Continued to participate in the design of the outdoor classroom at UCC. The executive planning committee for the outdoor classroom includes Michelle Lazar (landscape architect), Joe and Christina Manget (benefactors); Steve Thuringer and Lori Burnison (Facilities), Dyanne Ostrander (Advancement) and Dr. Premek Hamr (Green School). Under the leadership of Ms. Burnison, meetings were held throughout the year and a design charette was conducted in April 2009 to brainstorm ideas for the location and design of the classroom. The meeting included participation from faculty, staff, administration, advancement, donors, outside landscape architect and student body. As a result of the charette, an initial design (using suggestions from the participants) was put forth in May by Ms. Lazar (See figure below). This design is presently under review by the design committee and will be finalized in the very near future. Construction of the classroom is projected to begin in late summer 2009. Green Club Initiatives and Environmental Guest Speakers Making a Difference Speakers Series: Severn Cullis-Suzuki. January 17, 2009. Organized in conjunction with the Parents Organization (Vivian Cappe) and the Green School Club. Below is a summary of the event as reported by the UCC student newspaper: Green Club members J. Henderson, G. Clark, J. Park and Severn Cullis- Suzuki. Journalist and filmmaker Alexander Trudeau. April 2, 2009. Organized in conjunction with the Parents Organization (Vivian Cappe) and the Green School Club. His work as a videographer and reporter for the CBC has addressed important issues such as Canadian aboriginal rights, life in Iraq, Israel and the West bank and the lives of Yugoslavian youth. His speech highlighted his work and he shared his often controversial views with the UCC audience. Andrew Nobrega, (UCC Class of 2003) Director, Research & Design at Ecovert was our keynote speaker to open Earth Week Celebrations. His speech was captivating and was received very well by the audience in general assembly on April 20, 2009. With a strong background in ecology, social communities and environmental design, Andrew Nobrega brings a fresh set of

It’s said that “Toronto” is derived from a local aboriginal word for “plenty of people” or “meeting place”. And indeed the city today is one of the world’s most multicultural cities – home to more than seventy differ- ent nationalities speaking some one hundred languages. It is thus fitting that Toronto is this year’s “meeting place” for IBSC educators from so many nations – Ja- pan, China, Spain, the United Kingdom, South Africa, New Zealand, Australia, the United States and Can- ada. At its creation, the founders of the IBSC saw that it should be global in purpose and ambition, and we reap the benefits of this vision every time we meet. We hope that New Worlds for Boys will inspire you to envision dynamic ways to prepare boys for new worlds.

  • September 2019 Dear Upper School Parents and Guardians, This Letter
    September 2019 Dear Upper School Parents and Guardians, This letter is to provide you an overview of social events sanctioned by the school and those which are not, in an effort to support your decision-making within your family. All of the COSSOT schools (Coalition of Single-Sex Schools of Toronto) encourage students from the different schools to come together for both in-school and out-of-school activities. We support this interaction through curricular opportunities, such as the World Affairs Conference, drama, Model UN, GSA (Gay Straight Alliance), robotics competitions and so on, as well as the traditional school-hosted dances, social events and community efforts. Our student leaders organize many of these events, designed to build social connections between other single sex schools. This year we are excited to invite COSSOT schools to three dances, A-Day and Winterfest and a wonderful new event the Relay for Life which is a fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer society. Additionally, our students attend many COSSOT events hosted by other schools. Your son may be invited to a dance, may participate in COSSOT dodgeball or may perform at a coffee house hosted at another school, for example. These events are available for Y8s-12s. Y8 students attending dances at other COSSOT Middle Schools will have a UCC chaperone attend the event. This year, UCC is pleased to be hosting the following social events: ● Relay for Life @ UCC (Y8-12 select teams) - Thursday, October 10 ● Stewards Dance (Y11-12) @ UCC - Friday, October 18, 2019 ● The Battalion Ball (Y11-12) @ Palais Royale - Friday, April 17, 2020 ● Year 9 +10 Dance @ UCC - Friday, May 1, 2020 For each of these events, faculty and administration members are present, alongside the appropriate security personnel.

  • A Broken Ladder: Part I the Composition of Smith Commerce
    A Broken Ladder: Part I The Composition of Smith Commerce 1 Smith Transparency Project (www.smithtransparencyproject.com) Preface Objective This document aims to provide objective data and best estimates to inform discussion, inspire reflection, and catalyze change at the Smith School of Business and beyond. Smith School of Business Involvement The Smith Transparency Project approached the Smith School of Business in Fall 2019 and asked them to provide relevant and available data to aid this initiative. The initiative (and accompanying asks) were initially supported and encouraged by the school. However, this support was later withdrawn due to a lack of bandwidth. The Smith School of Business recommended that this project be completed on an independent basis. Methodology and Validity The data and analysis provided in this document represents solely publicly available social media, census, and geographic data and information disclosed through a voluntary survey delivered to the Class of 2021 official Facebook group. Additionally, this team is comprised of 4 Commerce students with a limited background in socioeconomic research. The team recognizes the above limitations and suggest that future users of this document acknowledge these limitations. Analyses of high school-level information includes both international and domestic students (i.e., tuition fees), whereas socioeconomic analyses applies solely to domestic students (i.e., average family income). Further, the team welcomes and encourages discussion and improvement to this analysis. Specifically, the team hopes for the Smith School of Business and other related organizations to publish similar and additional analyses or information pertaining to this topic. Contributors and Team This document is not affiliated with the organizations to which its contributors may belong.
