Community Colleges, Smes, and Innovation in Manitoba
Collaborating for Innovation: Community colleges, SMEs, and innovation in Manitoba by Thomas Keith Edmunds A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Ph.D. in Rural Studies Guelph, Ontario, Canada © T. Keith Edmunds, 2015 ABSTRACT COLLABORATING FOR INNOVATION: COMMUNITY COLLEGES, SMES, AND INNOVATION IN MANITOBA Thomas Keith Edmunds Advisor: University of Guelph, 2015 Dr. Al Lauzon The importance of SMEs to the Canadian economy coupled with the significant role of innovation in ensuring the long-term viability of these businesses highlights the value of removing any barriers to innovation that may be experienced. Community colleges may provide a largely untapped resource for SMEs seeking to innovate. Focussing on Manitoba’s college system, this research was conducted utilizing interviews with key informants from three community colleges and surveys distributed widely throughout the province’s business community. A number of impressions were formed from this largely exploratory research project, including: (1) the conceptual model on which this research was largely based may not be ideally suited for all community college situations; (2) colleges and SMEs appear to have different operational definitions of “innovation”; (3) SMEs are largely unaware of the capacities of colleges to provide services regarding innovation; and (4) colleges have often developed bureaucratic roadblocks to the provision of services to SMEs. iii Acknowledgements This project could not have been completed without the support of many people. I gratefully acknowledge the following individuals: My advisor, Al Lauzon, who tolerated both long delays in activity and frantic barrages of emails asking for advice. -

THE WHIG INTERPRETATION OF THE HISTORY OF RED RIVER By BRIAN MARTIN GALLAGHER B.A., The University of British Columbia, 1980 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Department of History) We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA September, 1986 ® Brian Martin Gallagher, 1986 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study.

Department of The University of British Columbia 1956 Main Mall Vancouver, Canada V6T 1Y3 Date /0 Ot^^Ly E-6 (3/81) ii ABSTRACT The whig interpretation, which can be most simply defined as the idea that past events led in direct and progressive stages to the present, has long been recognized as a basic historiographic fallacy. The fullest expression of the whig interpretation of western Canadian history is to be found in the works of George F.G. Stanley and W.L. Morton. In presenting a narrative reconstruction of the events surrounding Canada's annexation of Red River, these authors primarily attempt to justify Canadian policy as the extension of British civilization. -
515 PORTAGE AVENUE – WESLEY COLLEGE (WESLEY HALL, UNIVERSITY of WINNIPEG) George Browne and S.F
515 PORTAGE AVENUE – WESLEY COLLEGE (WESLEY HALL, UNIVERSITY OF WINNIPEG) George Browne and S.F. Peters, 1894-95 The development of advanced education in Manitoba was spearheaded by church institutions. Earliest among them were St. Boniface College (Roman Catholic, 1818), St. John’s College (Anglican, 1866), and Manitoba College (Presbyterian, 1871). When the University of Manitoba was established in 1877, it became the provincial examining authority, but teaching remained the prerogative of the affiliated denominational colleges. The year 1877 also saw the incorporation of two new bodies, Wesley College (Wesleyan Methodist) and Trinity College (Methodist Episcopal). The Wesleyan Methodists had previously (1873-77) operated an educational institute to fill a void in Winnipeg’s public school system. That experience did not translate, however, into the immediate implementation of Wesley © City of Winnipeg 2001 College’s charter. Instead, it took about a decade before the college was in a position to offer post-secondary courses in theology and the liberal arts. During that time, the Wesleyan and Episcopal Methodists were united into one church, the college’s charter was revised, funds were raised to hire staff, affiliation with the University of Manitoba was approved, and Reverend J.W. Sparling of Kingston, Ontario, was appointed principal. The first classes opened in the fall of 1888 in Grace Church on Notre Dame Avenue. As enrolment expanded, the college moved to rented facilities on Albert Street, then in 1890 to a converted house at Broadway and Edmonton Street. Steps also were taken to assemble the land and money needed for a permanent building. The chosen site was in West Winnipeg on the Spence Estate near Manitoba College. -
Anglican Archives in Rupert's Land by WILMA MACDONALD
Anglican Archives in Rupert's Land by WILMA MACDONALD Until 1870 the vast area which is now northern Quebec and Ontario, the prairies, Northwest Territories, Yukon, and portions of British Columbia was known as Rupert's Land. Prince Rupert, with sixteen associates, who were incorporated by Letters Patent as the Honourable the Hudson's Bay Company, was granted this vast territory in 1670 by King Charles 11. The new trading company acquired a region extending over 2,700,000 square miles. To protect its lucrative and increasing fur trade, the company successfully resisted attempts to colonize the territory. No effort was made to minister to the few Christian people in the widely scattered forts of the Hudson's Bay Company or to evangelize the native peoples until the early nineteenth century. In 1820, some six years after the tenacious Orkney Islanders established an agricultural settlement on the banks of the Red River, guided there by the Earl of Selkirk, the company sent out an Anglican chaplain, the Reverend John West (1778-1846). Although West was appointed to minister to the company's officers and servants, he also looked after the needs of the small Scottish colony and took great interest in the Indians. He established a school in the Red River settlement on a lot of land set apart for church purposes by thecompany (on which the Cathedral Church of St. John now stands in Winnipeg). West's efforts laid the foundations for missionary work and also marked the beginning of formal education in Manitoba. The small school he began in 1820 was followed by the Red River Academy, founded by John Macallurn and revived by Bishop David Anderson. -
Training Deaconesses the Manitoba Way!
Training Deaconesses the Manitoba Way! Manitoba College’s Deaconess Training Program 1920 to 1939 Sherri McConnell June 1, 1998 Training Deaconesses the Manitoba Way! Manitoba College’s Deaconess Training Program 1920 to 1939 Toronto is considered the historical centre for Deaconess training within The United Church of Canada. Toronto was the site of two denominational training schools prior to Church Union; the Methodist National Training School established in 1893 and the Presbyterian Missionary and Deaconess Training Home (also known as Ewart Training Home) established in 1897.1 These two schools joined to create the United Church Training School Church after union in 1925, and the subsequent decisions of General Council of 1926 regarding the unified Deaconess Order and the future of the old training schools.2 Housed in the former Methodist School, the United Church Training College became the United Church School for Deaconess and Missionary Training.3 What is less commonly remembered is that this school was not the only school for Deaconess preparation at that time. Winnipeg, Manitoba was home to a Deaconess training school as well. This made-in-Manitoba program began in 1920 through the Presbyterian Theological School, Manitoba College. The Women’s Department continued on until 1939, the year that Wesley College and Manitoba College officially merged into United College. At this time the Women’s Department disappears from historical documentation. The purpose of this paper is to uncover the life and death of the Manitoba College Deaconess training program. My personal perspective and agenda is part of this purpose. I was a woman who moved to Toronto to attend the Centre for Christian Studies (formerly United Church Training College and then Covenant College) in 1987. -

Smyrna's Ashes
Smyrna’s Ashes Humanitarianism, Genocide, and the Birth of the Middle East Michelle Tusan Published in association with the University of California Press “Set against one of the most horrible atrocities of the early twentieth century, the ethnic cleansing of Western Anatolia and the burning of the city of Izmir, Smyrna’s Ashes is an important contribution to our understanding of how hu- manitarian thinking shaped British foreign and military policy in the Late Ottoman Eastern Mediterranean. Based on rigorous archival research and scholarship, well written, and compelling, it is a welcome addition to the growing literature on humanitarianism and the history of human rights.” kEitH dAvid wAtEnpAugh, University of California, Davis “Tusan shows vividly and compassionately how Britain’s attempt to build a ‘Near East’ in its own image upon the ruins of the Ottoman Empire served as a prelude to today’s Middle East of nation-states.” pAEtEr M ndlEr, University of Cambridge “Traces an important but neglected strand in the history of British humanitarianism, showing how its efforts to aid Ottoman Christians were inextricably enmeshed in impe- rial and cultural agendas and helped to contribute to the creation of the modern Middle East.” dAnE kEnnEdy, The George Washington University “An original and meticulously researched contribution to our understandings of British imperial, gender, and cultural history. Smyrna’s Ashes demonstrates the long-standing influence of Middle Eastern issues on British self-identification. Tusan’s conclusions will engage scholars in a variety of fields for years to come.” nAncy l.
