  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
