REDEVELOP brings people together to work across disciplines, distance and cultures. Our collaborators from industry, government and Indigenous communities may have noticed that we rebranded last year, from a focus on the responsible development of low-permeability hydrocarbon resources to that of low-carbon energy resources; an adaptation to change. This week, you will hear from four innovative, multi-university teams of graduate students who will ask you to consider how this next generation of science, engineering and policy leaders will think about energy. Since 2017, we have trained 83 students at the graduate and undergraduate levels. -

Case Study of an Indigenous Teacher's Writing Instruction
i CASE STUDY OF AN INDIGENOUS TEACHER’S WRITING INSTRUCTION: TENSIONS AND NEGOTIATIONS AMONG WESTERN DISCOURSES OF WRITING AND 8 WAYS ABORIGINAL PRINCIPLES by Denise Hudspith Heppner A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Curriculum, Teaching and Learning Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Denise Hudspith Heppner, 2020 ii Case Study of an Indigenous Teacher’s Writing Instruction: Tensions and Negotiations Among Western Discourses of Writing and 8 Ways Aboriginal Principles Doctor of Philosophy 2020 Denise Hudspith Heppner Department of Curriculum, Teaching and Learning University of Toronto Abstract This research investigated an Indigenous teacher’s pedagogy in a rural First Nation school in order to gain insight into culturally responsive writing instruction. Pre-service and in-service educators have identified significant challenges in the teaching of writing, feeling unprepared and/or lacking confidence to teach this essential skill. Additionally, many teachers feel uncomfortable and/or ill-equipped to incorporate Indigenous content and perspectives into their classrooms. Resulting from generations of on-going colonial oppression, educational disparities in literacy development have been identified between Indigenous and non-Indigenous students. Along with a focus on traditional language and cultural revitalization, Indigenous families in Canada have advocated education for their children in the dominant literacy practices of schooling. With a growing Indigenous population, educators are seeking ways to respectfully and successfully integrate cultural perspectives, content, and traditional ways of knowing/learning into their classrooms. This study addressed the paucity of research on writing development in Canada conducted within rural areas and with Indigenous Peoples. -
CFWE-FM-4 Edmonton – New Transmitter in Janvier
Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2021-80 PDF version Reference: Part 1 application posted on 9 October 2020 Ottawa, 22 February 2021 Aboriginal Multi-Media Society of Alberta Edmonton and Janvier, Alberta Public record for this application: 2020-0648-6 CFWE-FM-4 Edmonton – New transmitter in Janvier 1. The Commission has the authority, pursuant to section 9(1) of the Broadcasting Act (the Act), to issue licences subject to such conditions related to the circumstances of the licensee as the Commission deems appropriate for the implementation of the broadcasting policy set out in section 3(1) of the Act and to amend those conditions on application of the licensee. 2. Pursuant to this authority, the Commission approves the application by Aboriginal Multi-Media Society of Alberta (AMMSA) to amend the broadcasting licence for the Indigenous (Type B Native)1 radio programming undertaking CFWE-FM-4 Edmonton, Alberta, to add a low-power FM rebroadcasting transmitter in Janvier, Alberta, to serve the Chipewyan Prairie First Nation. The Commission did not receive any interventions in regard to this application. 3. The new transmitter will operate at 89.9 MHz (channel 210LP) with an effective radiated power of 50 watts (non-directional antenna with an effective height of the antenna above average terrain of 44.9 metres). 4. AMMSA noted that the Chipewyan Prairie First Nation has no over-the-air access to a radio service targeted to Indigenous communities because of its remote location approximately 94 km southeast of Fort McMurray. The licensee has previously broadcast to this community, and it submitted that it has received many requests to restore the service. -
