It was truly a night to remember. The board room was filled with great food, high spirits, and old memories. The approximately 40 members who attended spanned more than 5 decades of representation. Deserving of special recognition is our eldest member, Dr. Charles Godfrey, age 102. Dr. Charles, as he is affectionately known, served one term, 1975-1977. Not only can he party, but he continues to practice medicine as part of the medical staff at the Albany Clinic in Toronto. As usual, members from across party lines chatted and got caught up on each others’ activities. Guests snacked on a diverse, delicious array of appetizers. Deli meats, various salads, and an abundant supply of yummy desserts were accompanied by wine and beer. Indeed, this turned out to be a wonderful opportunity to renew acquaintances and spread cheer. We’d like to extend a special “Thank You” to Mobina Bhimani, Rosario Marchese, Judy Marsales along with other board members and Pat Warner for organizing such a lovely evening. If you missed our Holiday Social, stay tuned for upcoming events at Queen’s Park.

  • The Courage to Begin
    Chapter 8: Conclusions and Summary of Options 239 proCess for ConsulTaTIon and ImplemenTaTIon This is an ambitious agenda, but it is not beyond the realm of the possible. We believe that the essential steps could be taken within five years. On- tarians sometimes forget how quickly Ontario’s higher education system can change to meet critical needs. The number of publicly supported uni- versities in Ontario doubled in the period from 1960 to 1965. The college system was created in less than three years, from early 1965 to the fall of 1967. College enrolments were expanded by almost 40 percent in less than five years to meet the needs of displaced workers during the recession of the early 1980s and by another 30 percent during the recession of the early 1990s. The university system added room for 90,000 more undergradu- ate students between 2000 and 2005 to accommodate the double cohort. In every case, the government made decisions about what needed to be done and worked with higher education leaders to get on with the job. The starting point for addressing our proposed agenda should be a focused consultation process with universities and colleges and with as- sociations representing students, faculty, and staff. These consultations, which might require two to four months, should focus on whether there are better proposals for addressing the issues we have identified. Changes of the magnitude we recommend are bound to be contentious; however, our review of the policy papers published by higher education stake- holders over the past two years suggests that there is broad consensus (though not unanimity) on the problems Ontario faces and widespread recognition that the solutions must go beyond simply spending more of the government’s and students’ money.

  • Ontario's Greenbelt
    Ontario’s Greenbelt: Acres of Possibility Burkhard Mausberg Ontario’s Greenbelt turns 12 years old in 2017. At two million acres, it’s the world’s largest peri-urban protected area. The Greenbelt Act and Plan were passed with much fanfare in 2005, and while there was some loud opposition from certain affected landowners and municipalities, the plan received significant backing from conservationists and planning experts. Since its inception, the Greenbelt has enjoyed huge public approval: it is consistently the provincial government’s most popular environmental initiative, garnering more than 90% support. The Greenbelt addressed a growing frustration with land use planning in the Greater Toronto Area: Ontarians asked for better regional planning. They recognized the negative impacts of poor development and the loss of greenspace and farmland. But the Greenbelt’s roots go back longer than the last dozen years—to the mid-1970s, in fact, when Premier Bill Davis protected the Niagara Escarpment. Aside from creating Niagara Falls, the escarpment is known for its rich biodiversity, centuries-old cedar trees, and unique cliff ecology. Declared a UNESCO biosphere reserve, the Niagara Escarpment includes Great Lakes coastlines, woodlands, limestone alvar, oak savannahs, conifer swamps, and other signature features. Together these diverse habitats contain a premier level of species variety among Canadian biosphere reserves, including more than 300 bird species, 55 mammals, 36 reptiles and amphibians, and 90 fish varieties. In 2001, Ontario’s Premier Mike Harris declared the Oak Ridges Moraine protected from development. The premier understood that the moraine is an ecologically important landform, created by receding glaciers during the last ice age.

  • Harris Disorder’ and How Women Tried to Cure It
    Advocating for Advocacy: The ‘Harris Disorder’ and how women tried to cure it The following article was originally commissioned by Action Ontarienne contre la violence faite aux femmes as a context piece in training material for transitional support workers. While it outlines the roots of the provincial transitional housing and support program for women who experience violence, the context largely details the struggle to sustain women’s anti-violence advocacy in Ontario under the Harris regime and the impacts of that government’s policy on advocacy work to end violence against women. By Eileen Morrow Political and Economic Context The roots of the Transitional Housing and Support Program began over 15 years ago. At that time, political and economic shifts played an important role in determining how governments approached social programs, including supports for women experiencing violence. Shifts at both the federal and provincial levels affected women’s services and women’s lives. In 1994, the federal government began to consider social policy shifts reflecting neoliberal economic thinking that had been embraced by capitalist powers around the world. Neoliberal economic theory supports smaller government (including cuts to public services), balanced budgets and government debt reduction, tax cuts, less government regulation, privatization of public services, individual responsibility and unfettered business markets. Forces created by neoliberal economics—including the current worldwide economic crisis—still determine how government operates in Canada. A world economic shift may not at first seem connected to a small program for women in Ontario, but it affected the way the Transitional Housing and Support Program began. Federal government shifts By 1995, the Liberal government in Ottawa was ready to act on the neoliberal shift with policy decisions.
