    2017-18 ANNUAL REPORT His Honour, the Honourable W. Thomas Molloy, Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan May it Please Your Honour: I respectfully submit the Annual Report of the Government House Foundation for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2018. The Honourable Ken Cheveldayoff Minister Responsible The Foundation supports Government House by raising funds to invest into the for the Provincial preservation of this important Provincial Heritage Property and National Capital Commission Historic Site. The Honourable Ken Cheveldayoff Minister Responsible for the Provincial Capital Commission The Honourable Ken Cheveldayoff Minister of Central Services Minister Responsible for the Provincial Capital Commission Legislative Building Regina SK S4S 0B3 Dear Mr. Cheveldayoff: It is my privilege to submit the annual report of the Government House Foundation for the year ending March 31, 2018. During 2016-2017, the trustees had engaged a consulting firm to consider options for fundraising. The consultant’s report, submitted to the board in March 2017, advised against holding a capital campaign at this time. It recommended instead a number of measures to increase community awareness of Government House and the Foundation and to develop the Foundation’s organizational structure, before embarking on further fund-raising activities. Accordingly, in 2017-2018 the Foundation, with the help of a professional facilitator, reviewed its mandate, structure, goals and strategic priorities. A fund-raising committee of the board assessed the potential and the means for attracting donations towards the capital needs of Government House. The Foundation also initiated quarterly meetings with the other partners in Government House – the Government House Historical Society, the Office of the Lieutenant Governor, and the Provincial Capital Commission – to coordinate activities on behalf of the House and offer mutual support.

Kerry Vickar Business Law I Clinic (Vickar Clinic), its offerings and the experiential pedagogy connected to the Marcel A. Desautels Centre for Private Enterprise and the Law (Desautels Centre) at Robson Hall. The history of the Vickar Clinic at the University of Manitoba actually began decades ago. A local practitioner named Reeh Taylor, founding partner at Taylor McCaffrey LLP, supervised business law matters that Robson Hall students managed and generously provided pro bono legal advice under his license as a member of the Law Society of Manitoba.2 The Vickar Clinic is only part of my overall mandate here at our law school. Under the umbrella of the Desautels Centre, we deliver experiential offerings connected to research priorities. When I was hired, I had the opportunity to work with the dean and to speak directly with the donors about the Desautels Centre’s programs and objectives. These donors were Marcel A. Desautels, who donated 5 million dollars to establish the 1 John Pozios, JD, MBA, Director of both (i) the Marcel A. Desautels Centre for Private Enterprise and the Law, and (ii) the L.

  • Research Assistant Needed Professor Gerard Kennedy Is
    Research Assistant Needed Professor Gerard Kennedy is seeking to hire a Robson Hall student as a research assistant this summer, for up to 35 hours per week for 14 weeks at $16.00 per hour. The RA will assist Professor Kennedy in at least two projects: 1. The first is a partially normative and partially empirical analysis of the concept of “deference” in various aspects of law. It is posited that this is used to describe two phenomena that, though related, are conceptually distinct. One phenomenon is yielding as a matter of obligation. The second is respectful consideration. It is posited that this is recognized in many facets of law as well as common sense. But in the realm of administrative law, the conflation of these phenomena is posited to have led to unfortunate confusion in case law and practice. A research assistant will analyze case law and normative research from around the world to ensure that the research is comprehensive. This will be complemented by research conducted in case law to illustrate how the term “deference” (and related terms) has been used. 2. The second project is an analysis of intervention in civil procedure. A careful empirical analysis will be undertaken concerning the numbers of cases at various courts throughout Canada on both the frequency of intervention and the ability of intervention to affect a court’s decisions. This will require significant triaging and cases so that I can analyze them. This will be set against the backdrop of recent Federal Court of Appeal decisions critiquing excessive interventions. This work may be especially interesting to aspiring litigators and those with an interest in access to justice and administrative law.
