They landed the small Cessna on a tiny spit of sand along a jungle river. Their mission was to share the Word of God with a group of Auca natives. This committed group of men, focused on missions, were martyred on that sand strip. They willingly accepted the risk associated with the calling of God to be focused on missions to the Auca. We are all called to be missionaries. Most of us do not face the same risk as the Nate Saint group of missionaries. But we are all called to missions; whether our mission field is our next door neighbour, our soccer buddies or an indigenous tribe in the heart of a jungle. We need to remember that the duty of the John Verdone church is missions. I want to welcome each of you to MissionFest Toronto 2007! MissionFest Toronto It is our prayer that as you participate in the many events and visit all the exhibitors, your heart will be Board of Directors 2006-2007 stirred by catching a glimpse of what God is doing through so many of His people.

  • Assessing the Influence of First Nation Education Counsellors on First Nation Post-Secondary Students and Their Program Choices
    Assessing the Influence of First Nation Education Counsellors on First Nation Post-Secondary Students and their Program Choices by Pamela Williamson A dissertation submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Higher Education Graduate Department of Theory and Policy Studies in Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto © Copyright by Pamela Williamson (2011) Assessing the Influence of First Nation Education Counsellors on First Nation Post-Secondary Students and their Post-Secondary Program Choices Doctor of Higher Education 2011 Pamela Williamson Department of Theory and Policy Studies in Education University of Toronto Abstract The exploratory study focused on First Nation students and First Nation education counsellors within Ontario. Using an interpretative approach, the research sought to determine the relevance of the counsellors as a potentially influencing factor in the students‘ post-secondary program choices. The ability of First Nation education counsellors to be influential is a consequence of their role since they administer Post- Secondary Student Support Program (PSSSP) funding. A report evaluating the program completed by Indian and Northern Affairs Canada in 2005 found that many First Nation students would not have been able to achieve post-secondary educational levels without PSSSP support. Eight self-selected First Nation Education counsellors and twenty-nine First Nation post- secondary students participated in paper surveys, and five students and one counsellor agreed to complete a follow-up interview. The quantitative and qualitative results revealed differences in the perceptions of the two survey groups as to whether First Nation education counsellors influenced students‘ post-secondary program choices.

  • Hon. Ross Romano Minister of Colleges and Universities Ministry of Colleges and Universities 5Th Floor, 438 University Ave Toronto, on M7A 2A5 October 22, 2020
    Hon. Ross Romano Minister of Colleges and Universities Ministry of Colleges and Universities 5th Floor, 438 University Ave Toronto, ON M7A 2A5 October 22, 2020 Dear Minister Romano, I am contacting you on behalf of the Ontario Confederation of University Faculty Associations (OCUFA), which represents 17,000 faculty and academic librarians across the province. We are alarmed that your government is intending to discreetly pass legislation that would allow the Canada Christian College to call itself a “university” and award degrees. Broadly, we are concerned about emerging efforts to privatize postsecondary education in Ontario and to give private institutions degree-granting privileges that will undermine the quality and accessibility of postsecondary education in Ontario. This is especially evident in the case of Canada Christian College where Charles McVety, who runs the college, openly holds deeply rooted Islamophobic, transphobic, and homophobic views. McVety has been embroiled in several controversies resulting from his discriminatory beliefs. We will not repeat any of his bigotry in our letter; it is well documented. The Ontario government should not grant accreditation and degree-granting privileges to institutions that do not meet the anti-discriminatory and anti-hate speech principles outlined in the Ontario Human Rights Code. It is imperative that the government protect religious minorities, the queer community, and other marginalized groups. At the very least, the government should do no harm. Allowing the Canada Christian College to call itself a “university” and to award degrees in our province would most certainly harm these marginalized communities and allow hateful and discriminatory speech to persist. Your Ministry must change course on this urgent matter.

FINDING WORK: THE PASSIVE AND PRO-ACTIVE METHODS WHAT IS COUNSELLING? Almost everyone has a vague understanding of what counselling is, since it has become a popular term in today’s culture to describe two things: a) a process including a wide range of formal and informal activities, and b) the helping profession of counsellors. Formal counselling, which is the focus of this information package, can be defined as intervention by a trained counsellor, in the form of assessment, guidance, education, and support in order to assist clients in coping with various life situations.

  • Private Foundations and International Philanthropy
    www.globalphilanthropy.ca Which Canadian charities spent money on foreign activities and how much did they spend? By Mark Blumberg (December 11, 2012) We recently reviewed the T3010 information for 2011 relating to foreign activities. The database was prepared by the Charities Directorate of CRA in September 2012 and covers about 81,000 charities (94% of Canadian registered charities) and their 2011 T3010 returns. We reviewed the Canadian charities that identified they did foreign activities through funding projects abroad (approximately 5200 charities identified spending funds abroad and only about 3550 spent over $10,000. We also list which identified they received CIDA funding and how much was spent on those arrangements. Finally, we list the amount of gift in kinds that charities issued receipts for which they may or may not have shipped abroad. I will explain below why it is important to know how much receipted gift in kinds charities get. The total amount claimed in $2.94 billion. Keep in mind that additional funds are spent by Canadian charities for example when making gifts to “qualified donees” that are prescribed universities or UN agencies. Canadian registered charities are currently required to disclose on the T3010 on line C4 and Box 2100 “Did the charity carry on, fund, or provide any resources through employees, volunteers, agents, joint ventures, contractors, or any other individuals, intermediaries, entities, or means (other than qualified donees) for any activity/program/project outside Canada?

    Page 1 Volume 22 Issue 5 Published monthly by the Union of Ontario Indians - Anishinabek Nation Single Copy: $2.00 JUNE 2010 Point-of-sale tax exemption stays in place UOI OFFICES –The good news is that First Nations have won a hard- fought battle to retain their point-of-sale tax exemption in Ontario, says Anishinabek Nation Grand Council Chief Patrick Madahbee. "But our concern is that in this day and age we should be put in a situation where we are negotiating our treaty and inherent rights. We are allies of the Crown - not subjects. And we will continue to insist that Canada uphold their own court rulings that they must consult us and ac- commodate our interests in all matters that affect us and our traditional territories."

There are 38 Tribal Colleges and Universities in the United States and 26 Indigenous post-secondary institutions in Canada. Deploying a critical discourse analysis, the study examines IHEI websites to document Indigenous environmental sustainability education (ESE) program offerings. The comparative analysis of IHEI programming in each national context finds that 41 out of 62 IHEIs in Canada and the United States have Indigenous ESE programs. Findings also indicate that ESE programs are more prevalent among IHEIs in the United States than in Canada. Moreover, IHEIs in the United States also offered greater diversity of program types, from certificates to graduate studies. The findings highlight the importance of IHEI environmental and sustainability education program design for centering Received October 1, 2020; revised April 1, 2021; accepted June 17, 2021; electronically published August 2, 2021 91 Indigenous Knowledge in higher education through Indigenous-controlled institutions.
