Background: Core Competency Candids is a student run, teacher supervised, inquiry project unfolding in Division 3 at Baker Drive Elementary School. The students, in grades 3,4 and 5, working in partnership with their teacher Kelsey Keller, have created the Core Competency Candids as a way to share their developing understanding of the Core Competencies. This inquiry was born out of a desire for students to be heard amidst a sea of adult voices. The students wanted a platform through which they could share their unique perspective in their own words. The Core Competency Candids are currently a collection of student ‘video diary’ entries in which the students respond to teacher generated questions on a Twitter platform. Combining revised curriculum with student inquiry, agency, and ownership of learning has the potential to be transformative for everyone involved. This year, the inquiry project has been expanded with the generous support of a SET-BC Synergy Project grant in the Communication stream. Attending the Board meeting on October 9th, 2018 will be Mrs. Kelsey Keller. She will be presenting on behalf of the students from the 2017/18 and 2018/19 classes of Division 3. The “Core competencies are sets of intellectual, personal, and social and emotional proficiencies that all students need to develop in order to engage in deep learning and life-long learning. Through provincial consultation, three core competencies were identified: Personal and Social Awareness and Responsibility, Thinking, and Communication. These competencies come into play when students are engaged in “doing” in any area of learning. This includes activities where students use thinking, collaboration, and communication to solve problems, address issues or make decisions. The ultimate goal is for learners to employ the core competencies every day in school and in life, and for the core competencies to be an integral part of the learning in all curriculum areas.”1 1 Ministry of Education https://curriculum.gov.bc.ca/competencies Page 4 of 61 2018‐10‐04 “Core Competency Candids” Twitter: @corecandids (Division 3 and Kelsey Keller) B.L.C Inquiry Question: What might happen if my students' voices are a larger part of systemic discussions about the Core Competencies? This inquiry grew out of a Student‐generated inquiry project… Page 5 of 61 1 2018‐10‐04 Where are the STUDENT voices? In 2017… I wanted to develop the core competencies as part of their inner voice. The result? In 2018...THEY wanted to use their core competencies to SHARE that developing voice.

  • From the Mill to the Hill: Race, Gender, and Nation in the Making of a French-Canadian Community in Maillardville, Bc, 1909-1939
    FROM THE MILL TO THE HILL: RACE, GENDER, AND NATION IN THE MAKING OF A FRENCH-CANADIAN COMMUNITY IN MAILLARDVILLE, BC, 1909-1939 by Genevieve Lapointe B.A., Universite Laval, 2002 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Sociology) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA May 2007 © Genevieve Lapointe, 2007 ABSTRACT This study looks at the making of a French-Canadian community in Maillardville, British Columbia, between 1909 and 1939. Drawing on oral history transcripts, as well as textual and visual documents, From the Mill to the Hill explores how complicated and contested relations of race, class, gender, and sexuality intertwined to constitute a French-Canadian identity and community in Maillardville prior to the Second World War. Using critical discourse analysis as methodology, this study examines the narratives of 23 men and women who were interviewed in the early 1970s and lived in Maillardville in the period preceding that war. Newspaper articles, city council minutes, company records, church records, as well as historical photographs culled from various archives and a local museum, also serve as primary documents. From the Mill to the Hill argues that a French-Canadian identity and community was constructed in Maillardville between 1909 and 1939 through the racialization of bodies and spaces. Narratives about the myth of the frontier, the opposite "other," and the racialization of the space in and around the company town of Fraser Mills illustrate how identity construction operated within a gendered and racialized framework. Secondly, this study excavates the fragile "whiteness" of French Canadians as both colonizers and colonized in British Columbia.

Hall Supervisor Associate Professor Elisa Campbell External Examiner Director, Regional and Strategic Planning, Metro Vancouver Date Defended/Approved: March 11, 2014 ii Partial Copyright Licence iii Ethics Statement iv Abstract Originating in Vancouver, the podium-tower building typology has become a popular development model that has spread around the world. The popularity of the podium-tower arose from the successful revitalization of Vancouver’s post-industrial waterfronts and became a symbol at the root of the term “Vancouverism”. The typology’s ability to achieve high density residential neighbourhoods while also maintaining and promoting vibrant and active streetscapes has made it popular with urban planners, while the high-rise residential towers have proven popular with developers for the marketable views. This research focuses on the Vancouver style of podium-tower development and its migration to the suburban community of Coquitlam. Coquitlam’s experience with the podium-tower typology illustrates the challenges of implementing podium-tower polices, and attracting development in both new and old neighbourhoods.

D2 | HOMES | THEPROVINCE.COM PROJECT PROFILE SUNDAY, AUGUST 22, 2010 Homes that rise above the rest TOWERS: Shaughnessy blazes trail in PoCo, while Oasis joins scene in Coquitlam he Onni Group of Companies is injecting residential highrises in TPort Coquitlam and Coquitlam, and it’s breaking ground in more ways than one. Each of the towers is a standout — lit- erally. The 26-storey Shaughnessy on Lions Park will be the first highrise in Port Coquitlam’s history, while Onni’s Oasis, at 37 storeys, will be the tallest highrise in Coquitlam. The organizer of the Shaughnessy sales and marketing campaign, Cam Good of TheKey. com, thinks that the suburban- urban divide is disappearing as down- towns, or town centres, develop in Low- er Mainland municipalities outside Van- couver. “The idea of where is ‘cool’ is shifting,” Good says. “The suburbs have centres with their own restaurants, shops and events.” The Shaughnessy homes, Good reports, are appealing to a wide range of buyers. About one-third of the homes have been sold, by an equal mix of first-time home- buyers, downsizers and would-be land- lords.
