RESOURCES Updated January 2011 Introduction The purpose of this manual is to build on the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to maximize the distribution of products to reduce harms associated with substance use; and to engage, educate, and advocate for individuals. The manual outlines and encourages the use of best practice to colleagues and peers within their specific agencies and organizations. It provides a reference to what support and treatment resources are available to which they can refer individuals. Specifically frontline staff will be able to use the manual as a guide and reference tool for: Individual engagement Encourage and support needle collection and return (at the individual and community levels) Inform individuals about reducing risks of blood borne pathogen transmission, and safer drug using and sexual practices Engage with individuals to provide effective education regarding harm reduction practices associated with routes of use, substances used, and social use practices. Respond to individuals who report a history of past or recent trauma, abuse or violence Refer individuals (e.g. social services, housing, addiction and mental health treatment) Advocate for individuals Respond to community pressures and concerns. Updated February 2010 4 1. Harm Reduction At the end of this section, you will be able to explain: Definition for harm reduction Everyday examples of harm reductions interventions. The guiding principles of harm reduction The history of harm reduction within Vancouver and globally It is important to acknowledge that harm reduction is not a new concept. Harm reduction principles have been applied for many decades in many areas outside the field of addiction. Day to day strategies such as using a seatbelt while driving a car, wearing sunglasses while outside, or using hand rails when walking down stairs are all examples of an intervention to help reduce harm. What are some examples of harm reduction strategies that you use in your everyday life? Definitions of Harm Reduction Harm reduction has a variety of meanings to different people, which has made developing one general definition very difficult. Regardless of the definition, harm reduction is a philosophy, approach, and a set of principles that combined help achieve certain social and political goals. As per the BC Harm Reduction Strategies and Services Policy and Guidelines: Harm reduction involves taking action through policy and programming to reduce the harmful effects of behaviour. It involves a range of non-judgmental approaches and strategies aimed at providing and enhancing the knowledge, skills resources and supports for individuals, their families and communities to make informed decisions to be safer and healthier.

  • Stó:Lō-State Relations and Indigenous Literacies in British Columbia, 1864–1874 Megan Harvey
    Document generated on 09/30/2021 3:31 a.m. Journal of the Canadian Historical Association Revue de la Société historique du Canada Story People: Stó:lō-State Relations and Indigenous Literacies in British Columbia, 1864–1874 Megan Harvey Volume 24, Number 1, 2013 Article abstract The Stó:lō are a group of approximately 28 different communities, which share URI: https://id.erudit.org/iderudit/1024997ar a common language and culture in what is now generally known as the Lower DOI: https://doi.org/10.7202/1024997ar Fraser Valley of southwestern British Columbia. Between 1864 and 1874, Stó:lō and neighbouring tribes presented four petitions to the colonial and (after See table of contents 1871) federal government. The survival of so many Indigenous texts from this era that speak directly to the state offers a rare interpretive opportunity. In a relatively brief period of time, colonial and then provincial authorities rapidly Publisher(s) obtained increased control over both lands and people in the emerging province. Simultaneously, Halkomelem-speaking peoples in the region swiftly The Canadian Historical Association / La Société historique du Canada developed new cultural literacies, among which was a facility with one of the central technologies of settler power: writing. As we will see in the following ISSN discussion, the earliest forms of Indigenous writing we have for this period are about land and Stó:lō peoples’ relationships with settler authorities. This series 0847-4478 (print) of petitions traces an important shift in settler-Indigenous relations, while also 1712-6274 (digital) revealing a great deal about Indigenous ideas around literacy and how settler appropriation of Stó:lō land was challenged from the very earliest days.

  • Reset: Reclaiming the Internet for Civil Society” by Ronald J
    IN TER NATIONAL JOUR NAL OF COM PUTER AU DIT ING Comments after listening to the 2020 Massey Lectures: “Reset: Reclaiming the Internet for Civil Society” by Ronald J. Deibert Hart will PhD, CPA, CMA University of Victoria, Professor Emeritus of Information Systems and Computer Auditing, Canada Inventor of ACL and Founder of ACL Services Ltd., Canada The Massey Lectures of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) were established in honour of the founder of Massey College at the University of Toronto, the former Governor General of Canada Vincent Massey [1]. Since 1961 CBC Radio has been broadcasting the CBC Massey Lectures, bringing Canadians and other listeners around the world some of the greatest minds of our times, exploring the ideas that make us who we are and asking the questions that make us better human beings [2]. In the 2020 Massey Lectures renowned tech expert Ronald J. Deibert explores the disturbing impact of social media. The lecture series titled “Reset: Reclaiming the Internet for Civil Society”. Drawing from his work as the director of Citizen Lab, which has made headlines for its cyber espionage research, Deibert talked about the personal, social, political, economic and ecological implications of social media [3]. After listening to Dr. Deibert’s lectures I wrote the following letter to Nahlah Ayed who is the host of the nightly CBC Radio program Ideas and the Massey Lectures. - Dr. Jack Huang felt that it amplified my earlier comments on big data and information systems in the previous issue of the JCA and wanted me to relate them also to our readers in this issue.
