Many concerns have been raised regarding this document. The Convention establishes: 1. a right to day care (Art 18) 2. a right to free primary education (Art 28) 3. a right to privacy (Art 16) 4. the right to freedom of association (Art 15) 5. freedom of thought, conscience and religion (Art 14) 6. freedom of expression including the right to receive and impart information and ideas of all kinds (Art 13) 7. the right to "family planning education and services" (Art 24) 8. the state shall ensure that the child has access to information and material from a diversity of national and internal sources: in particular through the mass media (Art 17) 9. shall protect the child from mental as well as physical violence and neglect while in the care of parents or guardians (Art 19) 10. However the freedom to manifest one's religion may be "limited" by the state as necessary to protect public safety, order, health or morals or the fundamental rights and Preedc^n of others (Art 14) There is only one mention of the child before birth - in the preamble, which is the part of the document of no legal affect. These phrases should cause warning bells to go off in your mind. Many precarious rights and responsibilities of parents and families will be undermined or even extinguished by implementation of these terms. The family's responsibility to be the primary educator of their children, to raise their children according to their religious beliefs, a parent's right to protect their children from information and ideas that would threaten their innocence, morality, faith or their senSe of security, would be threatened. Unlike Britain and United States, Canada has signed this document in principle and is waiting for it to be ratified by the provinces.

Dr. Lorne Taylor Minister of Innovation and Science Board appointed to oversee provinces new $500 million science and engineering research foundation EDMONTON Twelve Albertans representing science, business and industry have been appointed to serve as the founding board members of the Alberta Heritage Foundation for Science and Engineering Research (AHFSER). Minister of Innovation and Science Dr. Lorne Taylor announced the appointments of the individuals who will help establish the organization that will oversee and manage the $500 million endowment fund created by the Alberta government earlier this year. The board will be chaired by Alvin Libin of Calgary, who served as the Chairman of the Alberta Heritage Foundation for Medical Research (AHFMR) until earlier this year. "Since the model for the science and engineering fund is based on the highly successful medical research fund, I believe Al is the natural choice to help establish the new fund and ensure it is equally successful," said Taylor. The AHFSER board includes six individuals nominated by and respectively representing Albertas three research universities, the Council of Board Chairs of the Public Colleges and Technical Institutes of Alberta, the Association of Professional Engineers, Geologists and Geophysicists (APPEGGA), and the Alberta Institute of Agrologists.

Terry Royer gave a brief history of Mr. Paterson’s service to the University. The Paterson family has established an endowment fund in Gordon Paterson’s name. Patrick Machacek reported the fund has received $12,000 in donations, which is a reflection of the esteem that people felt for Gordon. Board members were encouraged to contact the Institutional Advancement office if they would like to make a donation to the fund. Terry Royer introduced and welcomed two new members to the Board, Guy McNab and Dustin Hines. Guy McNab has been appointed by the Lieutenant Governor in Council and Mr. Hines has been named by the graduate students to replace Michael Crowe who has resigned. Mr. Royer explained that joining the Board is not necessarily a perk, but is a lot of hard work and commitment and the new members will be asked to make a commitment of time, talent and, perhaps, treasure to the University.

  • The Art and Craft of University Coordination
    THE ART AND CRAFT OF UNIVERSITY COORDINATION by James Thomas Barmby A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in The College of Graduate Studies (Interdisciplinary Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Okanagan) December 2013 © James Thomas Barmby, 2013 ii Abstract The purpose of this study is to understand the apparent acquiescence of senior officials at Alberta‟s universities to legislation that might pose a threat to their institutions‟ autonomy. In 1975 the Alberta government under the leadership of Premier Peter Lougheed attempted to introduce a mechanism for coordinating university programs in the Adult Education Act by placing Alberta‟s four universities against their will within a system of provincial public post- secondary institutions. The 1975 Act failed to receive third reading due to successful lobbying efforts, yet in 2003 Lougheed's vision was finally realized with the passage of the Post- Secondary Learning Act (PSLA), which enlisted Alberta‟s four universities without resistance as members of a provincial system that coordinates post-secondary programming. A historical analysis, this study was framed within the dimensions of Wenger‟s Communities of Practice model to analyze the interaction and trust between and among senior university and government officials in their attempts to find agreement on matters concerning the coordination of university programming. The study found that, only where there was evidence of all three dimensions of the Communities

  • Class Struggle and Solidarity in Neo-Liberal Times: the 1986 Gainers Strike
    Class Struggle and Solidarity in Neo-Liberal Times: The 1986 Gainers Strike A Thesis Submitted to the Committee on Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences Trent University Peterborough, Ontario, Canada (c) Copyright by Andrea Samoil 2013 History MA Graduate Program January 2014 Abstract Class Struggle and Solidarity in Neo-Liberal Times: The 1986 Gainers Strike Andrea Samoil The lengthy and raucous 1986 Gainers meatpacking plant strike in Edmonton, Alberta was one of the most important events in recent Alberta labour history. In the midst of the economic crisis of the 1980s and the rise of neo-liberal ideas, the strike marked a backlash by both the labour movement and ordinary citizens against attacks on workers and unions. Characterized by widely covered picket line violence, repressive police and court actions, and government unresponsiveness, the strike generated massive solidarity within and beyond the labour movement. This solidarity originated in a rejection of the neo-liberal new reality of Alberta typified by high unemployment, anti-union laws and practices, and lack of government welfare support, and it generated a provincial change the law campaign, national boycott, and rising class consciousness. The working class mobilization during the Gainers strike was a watershed for the Alberta labour movement. Keywords: Gainers strike, working class, neo-liberalism, solidarity, Alberta Federation of Labour, Labour Legislation Review Committee, boycott, Alberta, Edmonton ii Acknowledgements To begin, thank you to Bryan Palmer, my supervisor, for his concise commentary and for his encouragement, which was especially welcome before my first paper presentation.
