  • Field of Dreams: Strengthening Health Policy Scholarship in Canada
    Field of Dreams: Strengthening Health Policy Scholarship in Canada Symposium Summary Document June 2008 McMaster University Preface On November 2, 2007 CHEPA hosted an invitational symposium to reflect on the field of health policy in the Canadian context and to develop an action plan for strengthening it in the future. Thirty-five participants from across Canada attended the symposium, as well as two invited international speakers from the United States and the United Kingdom. The group comprised a mix of health policy educators and researchers, university Deans and graduate students, and current and former health policymakers. A background paper was circulated in advance of the meeting and is available from CHEPA upon request. Over the course of the one-day meeting, participants began a dialogue that covered the following topics: • Broad reflections on the evolution of the scholarly field of health policy in Canada and other jurisdictions; • Identification of major scholarly and applied contributions to health policy discourse; • Exploration of the field’s unrealized potential and areas requiring future attention; and • Specification of the basic building blocks for producing an action plan to strengthen Canada’s health policy research capacity and infrastructure. Several invited speakers catalysed discussion by offering reflections on international and Canadian health policy scholarship and practice. The morning plenary sessions informed small group discussions held in the afternoon to identify the supports required in the areas of research, education and community building and exchange to strengthen Canadian health policy scholarship. Each group was given a set of questions to address (Appendix 1) and reported back to the full symposium on their deliberations and concrete action items for carry forward following the symposium.

  • 2015 Annual Report
    streetohome.org A message from the Chair and CEO of Streetohome Foundation 2015 was a momentous year for the Streetohome Foundation. In all, Streetohome granted more than $12 million in funding - more than all previous years combined since our inception in 2008. Five new building projects provide supportive housing for adults and youth with mental health issues (The Kettle on Burrard); adults with mental health and addictions (Taylor Manor); Aboriginal adults and youth (Kwayasut); adults with more severe mental health and addictions challenges (111 Princess); and woman-led families and their children (The Budzey). In total, there will be 582 units of supportive housing that will provide homes for almost 650 vulnerable individuals. This impact would not have been possible without the generosity of our donors and the significant contributions from our partners, the City and the Province. When you add in the Vancouver Rent Bank (which provides short-term loans for those facing eviction or utility cut-off), Streetohome’s 2 Streetohome Annual Report impact is even greater this year having also prevented homelessness for 223 individuals, including 70 children. 2015 marked a shift for Streetohome, from what has essentially been a strong focus on leveraging supportive housing units in partnership with the Province and City, to Goal 2 in our 10-Year Plan for Vancouver. This involves developing a comprehensive approach to homelessness prevention that includes breaking the cycle of homelessness and helping individuals thrive. Work is underway to better understand the flow of individuals, from living on the street or residing in shelters, to living in supportive housing and ultimately moving on with their lives in terms of achieving their housing, employment and addiction recovery goals.

Borins, Departmental Members (School of Public Administration) Dr. Carol E. Harris, Outside Member (Educational Psychology and Leadership Studies) This study of public service reform examined how the Liberal BC government attempted to convince public servants to adopt private sector-type work values (referred to in this study as contemporary values). To accomplish this goal, government top advisers designed a change management program for senior managers known as Public Service Renewal. The research problem was framed as a special case of change management to investigate what until now have been unanswered questions on the adoption of new, contemporary work values in the public service.

Now she helps run the Houssian family's investment firm B.C.’S MOST INFLUENTIALmoney WOMEN on the To mark our fifth annual tribute to female leaders making a difference, we celebrate women in finance or Kai Li, a finance professor atUBC Sauder School of Business, it’s become a familiar sight. In a typical year, about 50 percent of the school’s commerce undergraduates are female. But as third- year specialization approaches, relatively few women choose finance. Li, who teaches a course that readies students for Fthe investment banking industry, thinks there’s both a supply and a demand problem. “People who I invite as guest speakers, there are very few female role models, unfortunately,” she says. At the same time, investment banking’s long hours may not appeal to women seeking work-life balance. Despite such challenges, this province is home to a remarkable group of women working in financial roles. For our fifth annual B.C.’s Most Influential Women fea- ture, we again sought the advice of an expert panel (see p.47)—three of whose five members are women mak- ing their mark in finance—to identify names worthy of recognition.
