  • Statement on Canadian Foreign Policy in the 1980S
    Group of 78: Statement on Canadian Foreign Policy in the 1980s Reprinted from the Bulletin of the United Nations Association, February 1982. During the last few months, a group of Canadians with a special concern for Canada's role in the global community consulted together and arrived at certain conclusions which are detailed in the statement below. The group, consisting of 78 Canadians, are known informally as the "Group of 78" - an idea borrowed from the Group of 77 original lesser developed countries which banded together at the UN to work toward common goals. The statement of the Group of 78 - for which the prime mover has been Andrew Brewin, former NDP MP for Toronto Greenwood - follows: The basic priorities of Canada's foreign policy should be threefold: 1. Removal of the threat of nuclear war, the greatest danger facing mankind today; 2. the strengthening of the United Nations and other global institutions designed to bring about a pacific settlement of disputes, foster international cooperation, promote the growth of world law and the protection of basic human rights; 3. the mobilization of world resources to achieve a more equitable international order and bring an end to the crushing poverty which is the common lot of the majority of the Third World These objectives require a new emphasis in our foreign policy based on the recognition that national security depends on an international effort to maintain an equitable and stable international order. Canada should incorporate in its foreign policy the principal objectives set forth in the Final Document of the 1978 UN Special Session on Disarmament, and take an active part in the preparation for the Second Special Session in 1982.

  • Female Police Bodies and the Disruption to the Image of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police
    Women in Red Serge: Female Police Bodies and the Disruption to the Image of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police by Bonnie Reilly Schmidt M.A. (History), Simon Fraser University, 2006 B.A., University of the Fraser Valley, 2004 Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Bonnie Reilly Schmidt 2013 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Fall 2013 Approval Name: Bonnie Reilly Schmidt Degree: Doctor of Philosophy (History) Title of Thesis: Women in Red Serge: Female Police Bodies and the Disruption to the Image of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Examining Committee: Chair: Jeremy Brown Assistant Professor of History Willeen Keough Senior Supervisor Associate Professor of History Mark Leier Supervisor Professor of History Elise Chenier Supervisor Associate Professor of History Lara Campbell Internal/External Examiner Associate Professor of Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies Jane Nicholas External Examiner Associate Professor Department of Women’s Studies Lakehead University Date Defended/Approved: October 28, 2013 ii Partial Copyright Licence iii Ethics Statement iv Abstract The arrival of women in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) in the mid-1970s disrupted the masculine image of a police force that was intimately connected to idealized Canadian manhood and the formation of the nation. Yet, women have been noticeably absent from the historical record of the RCMP, allowing the figure of the heroic male Mountie to continue his dominance in official, academic, and popular histories. Central to these discourses has been the male police body which has been positioned as the only body capable of enforcing the law in Canada.

  • Pathway Network for Canada's Capital Region 2006 Strategic Plan PLANI
    Pathway Network for Canada’s Capital Region 2006 Strategic Plan PLANI-CITÉ i June 2006 Pathway Network for Canada’s Capital Region 2006 Strategic Plan THE VISION The National Capital Commission (NCC) and its partners propose the following as a framework for the planning and development of the Capital Pathway network for the next 10 years: Multi-purpose use The Capital Pathway network covers Canada’s Capital Region in its entirety. It is a multi-purpose recreational and tourist network, which also supports non-motorized commuting vocations. Accessibility and safety The network extends to and links natural and built areas. Through its layout and design standards, the network encourages a quality user experience and accessibility, emphasizing the recognition of the “Green Capital”, and highlighting symbolic points of interest within the Capital. The network provides access to waterways, green spaces, cultural and heritage features while supporting the protection of natural areas and offering a wide range of easily accessible services. User education and awareness programs targeting pathway sharing in a respectful and tolerant manner result in a safe and pleasant experience. Connectivity The network, through its linkage with local cycling routes and regional/national trails, is connected to other non-motorized transportation networks within the region to encourage sustainable transportation and forms a key component of Canada’s Capital recreational and cycling experience. Recognition The network, as a result of its multi use vocation, its extensive and far reaching system of pathways and connection with regional, provincial and national trails and pathways within and outside Canada’s Capital Region as well as the quality of the experience is regarded as one of North America’s best.

RECOMMANDATIONS DU RAPPORT Que le Comité des Transports prenne connaissance de ce rapport. BACKGROUND The purpose of this study undertaken in partnership with the National Capital Commission (NCC) was to identify projects within the Transportation Master Plan (TMP) and other transportation projects that have emerged since the completion of the TMP that could have an impact on the environmental integrity of the federal Greenbelt lands. By examining the cumulative effects of the construction of this infrastructure on the Greenbelt lands, a framework now has been established to ensure that the associated Environmental Assessments (EAs) that require federal approval will move forward more expediently. 2 One of the NCC’s mandates is to protect the Greenbelt. Current practice has been that the NCC only comments or provides input on projects that are identified in its Greenbelt Master Plan (GBMP).

    8 8 BOOK REVIEWS thus far conceived its political and critical project in rather limited, and increasingly unproductive, terms. Reviewed by: William Straw Carlton University Foundations, Alan Plaunt and The Early Days of CBC Radio Michael Nolan CBC Enterprises, 1986 Toronto, Ontario This book is very aptly named, for it was Alan Plaunt, more than any other individual, who set the philosophical and organizational foundations of the CBC and its progenitor, the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission. Plaunt's pivotal role in the genesis of public broadcasting in Canada was initially set out by Michael Nolan as his doctoral study for the University of Western Ontario where today Nolan teaches at the Graduate School of Journalism. CBC Enterprises published Nolan's work along with several other books in the fall of 1986 in celebration of CBC1s 50 years of public broadcasting service. The 162 page narrative is enhanced by its thorough footnoting and seven pages of reference sources on Canadian broadcasting history. Nolan's study is particularly detailed with regard to Plauntls English-French family background, his education, (straight Cs at the University of Toronto and only third class honours at Oxford), his politics, his friends, the forces that shaped his beliefs, the several causes he gave his energies to, his contradictory personality, and his extraordinary organizational skills. During his two years at Oxford (1927-291, Plaunt was a keen observer of the BBC in its first decade under the dominating leadership BOOK REVIEWS 89 of John Reith. Plaunt became a believer in Reith's approach to state-owned development of radio with its underlying philosophy that broadcasting's public service potential was too great to permit it to become a commercially oriented mass medium.
