  • KPU Instructors Produce 'Ear Savers' for Local Hospital
    KPU Instructors produce ‘ear savers’ for local hospital The images are all over social media. Doctors and nurses wearing masks for prolonged periods of time during the COVID-19 pandemic, with one of the results being pain and discomfort around the ears. To help ease some of that pain, instructors at Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) have produced 1,000 “ear savers” for healthcare professionals at Vancouver General Hospital. “The idea with these straps is that the masks are just held around the head,” says Victor Martinez, a product design instructor at KPU’s Wilson School of Design. This relieves pressure on healthcare workers’ ears. Martinez and a group of KPU faculty and students are using 3D printers to produce the ear savers – adhering to proper physical distancing measures as they work. The printers are running about 15 hours a day. The ear savers attach the mask straps that would otherwise go around the ears to small notches on the plastic devices, which then wraps around the head easing the discomfort behind the ears. This small project is part of a wider global commitment to responding to issues and concerns about personal protective equipment (PPE) for workers on the front line of the pandemic. “Victor has been diligently and tirelessly working on possible PPE solutions since the initial need was first announced,” says Andhra Goundrey, dean of the Wilson School of Design. While balancing the transition to online teaching and finishing the spring semester remotely, Martinez worked with an existing design to create the straps. Given his background in design and 3D printing, he wanted to do something to help front line workers.

  • Washrooms for Customers Only”: Space, Dignity, and Sh*Tting in the City
    “Washrooms for Customers Only”: Space, Dignity, and Sh*tting in the City by Edith Wilson A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Sociology Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Edith Wilson, January, 2019 ABSTRACT “WASHROOMS FOR CUSTOMERS ONLY”: SPACE, DIGNITY, AND SH*TTING IN THE CITY Edith Wilson Advisor(s): University of Guelph, 2019 Dr. Mervyn Horgan This thesis examines the narratives that explain the existence of washrooms for customers only (W4CO) rules in the City of Toronto. Fifteen interviews were conducted with workers and managers at both chain and independent fast food and coffee shops along five strips in Toronto’s downtown core. In addition, a full listing of the public washrooms already available in the city was assembled, since no previous complete list existed. Descriptive statistics gathered show that 37.62% of the businesses in the research area have W4CO signs. Findings also show that although W4CO signs are much less frequent in independent shops, independent shops also have many fewer washroom uses per hour than chain shops. Findings from interviews show that the high prevalence of homelessness and the intersection of homelessness with mental health issues and drug addiction were concerns for workers. However, most interviewees were interested in polic y solutions and tried to separate their often difficult experiences with the washrooms in businesses from discourse that stigmatizes vulnerable populations. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First, many thanks to the anonymous heroes of this project. I will always be grateful to the interviewees that took time out of long and stressful workdays, even sometimes days off, to talk to me.

  • The Emergence of the Cannabis Act: a Case Study
    The emergence of the Cannabis Act: A case study by Ashley Braun B.A. (Hons.), University of the Fraser Valley, 2017 Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the School of Criminology Faculty of Arts and Sciences © Ashley Braun 2019 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Spring 2019 Copyright in this work rests with the author. Please ensure that any reproduction or re-use is done in accordance with the relevant national copyright legislation. Approval Name: Ashley Braun Degree: Master of Arts Title: The emergence of the Cannabis Act: A case study Examining Committee: Chair: Bryan Kinney Associate Professor Neil Boyd Senior Supervisor Professor Martin Bouchard Supervisor Professor M-J Milloy External Examiner Assistant Professor Department of Medicine University of British Columbia Date Defended/Approved: April 12, 2019 ii Abstract This case study identifies the key factors that preceded the introduction of the Cannabis Act, using newspaper articles from the Globe and Mail between January 1, 2000 and April 14, 2017. It develops a chronology of cannabis-related events that influenced the social, political, or legal nature of cannabis, and categorizes other stories into five major themes: judicial decisions, medical regulations, commercial industry, international developments, and public opinion. Analysis reveals three key findings that set the stage for legalization, including the government’s failure to create a constitutionally sound cannabis access program, Colorado and Washington’s legal precedent, and a ballooning commercial industry. Law reform benefits, such as product quality, accessibility, and tax revenue are discussed and contrasted with several limitations of the Act, including consumption-related risks, criminal penalties, and ongoing stigma.
