  • OECD/IMHE Project Self Evaluation Report: Atlantic Canada, Canada
    OECD/IMHE Project Supporting the Contribution of Higher Education Institutions to Regional Development Self Evaluation Report: Atlantic Canada, Canada Wade Locke (Memorial University), Elizabeth Beale (Atlantic Provinces Economic Council), Robert Greenwood (Harris Centre, Memorial University), Cyril Farrell (Atlantic Provinces Community College Consortium), Stephen Tomblin (Memorial University), Pierre-Marcel Dejardins (Université de Moncton), Frank Strain (Mount Allison University), and Godfrey Baldacchino (University of Prince Edward Island) December 2006 (Revised March 2007) ii Acknowledgements This self-evaluation report addresses the contribution of higher education institutions (HEIs) to the development of the Atlantic region of Canada. This study was undertaken following the decision of a broad group of partners in Atlantic Canada to join the OECD/IMHE project “Supporting the Contribution of Higher Education Institutions to Regional Development”. Atlantic Canada was one of the last regions, and the only North American region, to enter into this project. It is also one of the largest groups of partners to participate in this OECD project, with engagement from the federal government; four provincial governments, all with separate responsibility for higher education; 17 publicly funded universities; all colleges in the region; and a range of other partners in economic development. As such, it must be appreciated that this report represents a major undertaking in a very short period of time. A research process was put in place to facilitate the completion of this self-evaluation report. The process was multifaceted and consultative in nature, drawing on current data, direct input from HEIs and the perspectives of a broad array of stakeholders across the region. An extensive effort was undertaken to ensure that input was received from all key stakeholders, through surveys completed by HEIs, one-on-one interviews conducted with government officials and focus groups conducted in each province which included a high level of private sector participation.

  • Travelling in Time to Cape Breton Island in the 1920S: Protest Songs, Murals and Island Identity
    Travelling in Time to Cape Breton Island in the 1920s: Protest Songs, Murals and Island Identity Richard MacKinnon and Lachlan MacKinnon Abstract Islands are places that foster a unique sense of place-attachment and com- munity identity among their populations. Scholarship focusing on the dis- tinctive values, attitudes and perspectives of ‘island people’ from around the world reveals the layers of meaning that are attached to island life. Lowenthal writes: ‘Islands are fantasized as antitheses of the all-engrossing gargantuan mainstream-small, quiet, untroubled, remote from the busy, crowded, turbu- lent everyday scene. In reality, most of them are nothing like that. …’1 Islands, for many people, are ‘imagined places’ in our increasingly globalised world; the perceptions of island culture and reality often differ. Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, in eastern North America, a locale with a rich history of class struggle surrounding its former coal and steel industries, provides an excellent case study for the ways that local history, collective memory and cultural expression might combine to combat the ‘untroubled fantasy’ that Lowenthal describes. History and methodology Coal mining has been an essential part of Cape Breton Island’s landscape since the early-eighteenth century. A steel mill was constructed in Sydney, the island’s largest city, in 1899; this steel plant provided employment for many of the island’s inhabitants throughout the twentieth century. Grid-patterned streets, dotted with company-owned homes, formed around the industrial workplaces in many Cape Breton communities. It was in these communities, from the people employed in the coal mines and steel mill, that distinctive traditions of work and leisure began to emerge.

  • Narrative of the Emigration from Wales to New Brunswick, Describing in Detail Both the Voyage and the Emigrants
    BOOK REVIEWS 205 narrative of the emigration from Wales to New Brunswick, describing in detail both the voyage and the emigrants. Documents such as "Cin Sef" which describe events from the people's point of view are both rare and important. Despite their humble appearance, they deserve to be collected by the principal archives of all countries shaped by migration in recent centuries. Strangersfrom a Secret Land powerfully emphasizes the importance of history, and of the memories and documents which enable us to know the past. Thomas encountered reluctance among a few members of the Welsh community to share their knowledge with him; knowledge of the past is not easily obtained nor is it simply a piece of paper to be pinned on the wall. Historians have no monopoly on their subject so it is appropriate that a professor of literature, himself an emigrant, should in this book so effectively illustrate that history is our "inner territory, the soul of the tribe." Marianne McLean National Archives of Canada Cape Breton At 200: Historical Essays in Honour of the Island's Bicentennial. KENNETH DONOVAN, ed. Sydney, Nova Scotia: University College of Cape Breton Press, 1985. 261 p. ISBN 0-920336-34-5 This collection of ten essays on various aspects of Cape Breton's social and economic development commemorates the bicentennial of the creation of Cape Breton as a separate crown colony in 1785. The fourth collection of historical essays on Cape Breton to appear in the last two decades, this is by far the most ambitious. Unlike earlier collections, none of the essays have been published previously and only a few of the contributors have written elsewhere on similar topics.
