Phi Kappa Pi is Canada’s Oldest and Only National Fraternity, with active Chapters in Halifax, Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver. I am also a long time Annex resident, and grew up in the neighbourhood. I have served as a Director on the Board of Directors of the Annex Resident’s Association while I was in planning school and while living at my Fraternity house during undergraduate studies. Now I practice as a Land Use Planner and I am a former Member and Chair of the Toronto and East York Committee of Adjustment. I still live in the Annex, and I can subjectively say and with great bias that it is the best neighbourhood in the world. Below I would like to respectfully submit to the Committee the following comments with regards to the above-referenced Item before the Licensing and Standards Committee on May 4, 2018: 1. Rooming Houses and Fraternity/Sorority Houses Materially Different: Rooming Houses In June 2015 the City issued a Request for Proposal for Rooming House Review Public consultations (Request for Proposal No.

  • Community Education and Development: Perspectives on Employment, Employability and Development of English-Speaking Black Minority of Quebec
    Special Issue 2019, Article 1 from Series of 5 (Editorial) Collaborative Unity and Existential Responsibility COMMUNITY EDUCATION AND DEVELOPMENT: PERSPECTIVES ON EMPLOYMENT, EMPLOYABILITY AND DEVELOPMENT OF ENGLISH-SPEAKING BLACK MINORITY OF QUEBEC Clarence S Bayne* Director of ICED , John Molson [email protected] School of Business, Concordia Uni- versity, President of BCRC * Corresponding author ABSTRACT Background On December 7, 2018, the Black Community Forum of Montreal held a conference on “Community Education and Development: perspectives on English-Speaking Blacks and Other Minorities”. The IJCDMS Journal has selected a number of the conference papers for publication in its Special Conference Series: “Collaborative Unity and Existential Responsi- bility.” This article serves as an overview to the conference; and provides a theoretical framework against which the reader can derive a better under- standing of those papers. It allows the reader to reflect meaningfully on the optimality of the decision search rules adopted by various cultural subgroups, by comparing them to the behaviors of successful agent types in the computer simulated studies discussed in this paper. The targeted cultural sub-populations are the English-Speaking Blacks in Montreal. method of lecturing to cater for the next generation of learners.

FILMS is a production company based in Barcelona, created in 2013 by Carlota Coloma and Adrià Lahuerta. They produce documentaries for cinema and other platforms, and for agencies and clients who want to explore the documentary genre in all its possibilities. Their productions have been selected and awarded in many festivals: MiradasDoc, Milano International Documentary Festival, HotDocs and DOCSMX among others. They have been selected to participate in several workshops and pitches such as: IDW Visions du Réel; Cross Video Days; Docs Barcelona. ABRA ENSEMBLE Hall I + Abra Ensemble (Performance Space Exhibition) ABRA Ensemble's works aspire to undermine existing power structures as they express themselves in the voice, language patterns and ways of speech. They seek rather communal, feminist strategies of composition, listening and creative-coexistence. Exposing the emergence of the music itself, ABRA Ensemble bridges the existing limits between contemporary virtuoso vocal art and the performative, transformative encounter with an audience. In the five years since its founding in 2013, the ensemble has performed at a diverse range of venues in Israel and Europe, released a debut album and gained considerable recognition both in the new-music and contemporary performance scene. YARON ABULAFIA Jury Member 2019 / PQ Ambassador Yaron Abulafia has designed over 200 theatre and dance performances, installations, concerts and television shows internationally. He has designed for the Netherlands Dans Theater, the English National Ballet, Rambert Dance Company, Staatsballett Berlin, Danza Contemporanea de Cuba and the Hungarian State Theatre of Cluj in Romania – to mention but a few.

Stuart, Ph.D. Curriculum vitae Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada (604) 628-9609 [email protected] Persagen.com Current Scientific Consultant j Owner: Persagen.com Jun 2009 - Present Position I have been self-employed since June 2009 as a Scientific Consultant, providing scientific expertise in molecular genetics, genomics, molecular biology, life sciences, bioinformatics and scientific review. Recent From 2009-2014 I was subcontracted to Battelle Memorial Institute (Chapel Hill, N.C.), pro- Work viding scientific expertise for the U.S. Army Research Office (ARO; Durham, N.C.) and the U.S. Army Center for Environmental Health Research (USACEHR; Washington, D.C.). That work primarily involved evaluation of molecular genetics and other life sciences research pro- posals for the ARO, and analyses of genomic expression data (Yersinia pestis-infected primate cells) for the USACEHR. That work, with my previous postdoctoral studies, reinforced my desire to pursue a career in bioinformatics. From 2015–present I have been immersed in a highly concentrated self-supported and -directed programme of study to acquire the tools in core domains (data management; programming languages; informatics; graphical models; data visualization; natural language processing; machine learning) needed to realize my Vision. Consequently, I possess a theoretical un- derstanding and appreciation of the underlying principles (modeling; loss functions; gradient descent; back propagation; tensors; linear algebraic approaches such as eigenvalues and semir- ings applied to data matrices; etc.) associated with leading-edge machine learning and natural language processing models. I am presently concentrating on the use of established, yet high performing approaches to re- lation extraction (e.g.
