I , Government Gouvernement of Canada du Canada National Commission nationale des Parole Board libérations conditionnelles DECEMBER 1984 \<(/ TO THE STAFF AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD A yearly source of amazement to me is how the warmth of the spirit of Christmas tends to invade one's sensibilities during the early parts of December. This is not caused by the crass commercialization which seems to begin almost before Grey Cup day, nor the decorations that tend to be found in the windows of commercial establishments (and even on office partitions), nor is it necessarily the music that one hears repetitively on the radio. This warmth tends to gradually seep in and evoke memories, some of them sad and some of them happy, of the past year. It also brings forward memories of fi Ili friends and associates, some of whom are still with us li iii and others who are not. But most significant, it make one realize how important to one's peace of mind are the people with whom one ii iii works, and how inter-dependent we are one with the El§ in other. ,111 Itï As a reflection of this warmth, may I simply pass on to you my kindest personal regards and best wishes for a warm Christmas with your loved ones, and to thank you for your continuing contribution to the work of the Board. LIBRARY MINISTRY OF THE SOLICITOR 15 1987 BIBLIOTHEQUE CanadU MINISTÈRE DU SOLLICIIEUR GÉNtRAL NPB Action CNLC II CRIMINAL IMMERSION (in Lavai) The 22nd Congress of la Société de criminologie du Québec was held October 24 - 26 at Laval with Deputy Solicitor General Jean Charron as guest of honour on opening day. This year, the general theme was "The criminal justice system: its raison d'être and evolution". Meetings and workshops were organized under three particular themes: foundations of the Canadian criminal justice system, new orientations in the system for minors, and for adults. Senior Board Member Jean Paul Gilbert, as president of la Société (since 1979) and Guy Petit-Clair, Regional Administrator/Case Supervision were members of the organizing committee. A special workshop on life sentences was held at the Federal Training Centre before an audience comprised of about thirty inmates of that institution (some serving life sentences), as well as participants of the Congress, criminologists, members from the committee for prisoners' rights, and so on. The panel, presided over by Professor Guy Lemire of the department of Criminology of the Université de Montréal, was composed of Board Member Roméo Beaupré, Judge Jacques Lessard of the Session Court, and Gilles Thibault, an inmate from the Federal Training Centre. ; 3 M. Beaupré presented statistics on life sentences and, in a brief talk, defined the mandate of the NPB and the criteria by which it makes its decisions, underlining that the Board takes into account the inmate's rights and needs. Afterwards M. Beaupré and Regional Manager/Case Preparation Michel Frappier answered questions from the floor, principally on life sentences, parole eligibility after 25 years, and programs of reintegration - judged insufficient by those serving long sentences. M. Beaupré indicated after the Congress that he considered it regrettable that the question of victims' rights was not addressed during the workshop. REO Serge Lavallée participated in a workshop on judicial decisions relative to correctional concerns. Renée Millette, lawyer for the office of Inmates Rights, stressed the excellent cooperation between the NPB and her organization, remarking that the Board was fully conversant with the rights of inmates and always available when problems arose. The participants in this workshop, CSC case managers and residential unit managers, expressed concern at the scope of inmates' rights in the area of access to information and procedural safeguards. On the closing day, M. Gilbert, as outgoing president, presented the "société' Beccaria prize to Micheline Baril, Doctor of Criminology at the Université de Montréal; the Archambault-Fauteux prize to the Law Reform Commission, accepted by its president, Mr. Justice Allen M. Linden; and the Denis Gagné prize to the Lakeshore YMCA for its crime prevention work with young people during the past year. WHAT'S IN A NAME? Many years ago (I could have said a long time ago but...) I was asked what my last name was by an interviewer. I replied "It's Long". Long pause... The interviewer (he seemed a bit short-tempered at this point) asked again "What's your last name?" And again I replied "It's Long". Red-faced at this point he said It I don't care how long it is, it will still fit in the space. Now what's your name?" What's in a name? Recently I read an article in the Winnipeg Free Press on Dave Rempel who was awarded the CSC's citation for meritorious service. The headline read "Parole godfather friend to inmates". For those of you who have been in the "system" for a good number of years, the human interest story on Rempel's outstanding career was well deserved. However, in the second paragraph the reporter referred to him as the "godfather of the local National Parole Board office". Rempel served admirably with the National Parole Service, which used to be part of the NPB until the late 70's when it became an arm of the CSC. 5 Often though media references to the National Parole Service (which no longer exists as a separate entity) and to parole officers (who are now affectionately known as CMOI's* or CMOC's* within CSC) are equated by the public with the NPB and staff of the Board, in the same way that "mandatory supervision" is often used interchangeably with "parole". What's in a name? In a recent letter to the Chairman of the NPB, a member of the public wrote: "It did not escape my notice that the National Parole Board's 6th floor, Ottawa District Office, 150 Kent St. is protected from the public by a shock resistant glass enclosure, with only a small speak hole through which one can communicate with the Parole Board staff. Of course a buzzer must be sounded to draw the staff's attention to the fact that a visitor is in the area. Surely the Parole Board staff is not being protected from the victims. Is it possible that the Board is unsure of the inmates' ability to cope with the stress of living free or is it their propènsity for violence?". To this, the Chairman replied: "The Ottawa District Office, 150 Kent Street, is an office of the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC), not the National Parole Board. Parole officers who supervise inmates on release in the community are staff of the CSC, not the Board...". * CMOC - Case Management Officer Community * CMOI - Case Management Officer Institution 6 Some recent headlines in the press: "Parole reform in works" - the article is devoted sol,ely to changes in the mandatory supervision system. "Cop Killer on Day Pass" - the report focuses on the release of an inmate held under a Lieutenant Governor's Warrant. "Readers want Tougher Parole Regulations" "Another killer has fled after being released from prison on a day pass. The parole system allows inmates in jail for life to walk our streets after serving only one-sixth of their time" - Where is the logic? What's in a name? To make a 1 long'story short (as Senior Member Roy Evans has often said) what can we do to change this situation? Sometimes nothing. Often it is simply a matter of dealing with the media using clear precise language, avoiding jargon. The media should not have to guess what the Board is saying, and use of clear, precise language will cut the guessing down to a minimum. 7 The Communications Division is currently working on a Media Guide for Board spokespersons, and for Board Members and staff who have contact with the media and the public. It contains many ideas and suggestions that should help in our public relations efforts, along with a number of other useful tidbits of information. This guide will be available in late March. Lemman Long For your information If you haven't already seen the October 30 issue of CSC's LET'S TALK, we recommend you pick up a copy. There's a special section on 'suicide'.

Yet, women have been noticeably absent from the historical record of the RCMP, allowing the figure of the heroic male Mountie to continue his dominance in official, academic, and popular histories. Central to these discourses has been the male police body which has been positioned as the only body capable of enforcing the law in Canada.

The Inuit Movement in Canada's Newest Territory Holly Ann Dobbins Syracuse University Follow this and additional works at: https://surface.syr.edu/etd Part of the Social and Behavioral Sciences Commons Recommended Citation Dobbins, Holly Ann, "Nunavut, A Creation Story. The Inuit Movement in Canada's Newest Territory" (2019).

It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract This is a qualitative study of the 30-year land claim negotiation process (1963-1993) through which the Inuit of Nunavut transformed themselves from being a marginalized population with few recognized rights in Canada to becoming the overwhelmingly dominant voice in a territorial government, with strong rights over their own lands and waters. In this study I view this negotiation process and all of the activities that supported it as part of a larger Inuit Movement and argue that it meets the criteria for a social movement. This study bridges several social sciences disciplines, including newly emerging areas of study in social movements, conflict resolution, and Indigenous studies, and offers important lessons about the conditions for a successful mobilization for Indigenous rights in other states. In this research I examine the extent to which Inuit values and worldviews directly informed movement emergence and continuity, leadership development and, to some extent, negotiation strategies.

This period witnessed a devolution of power from the federal government to the Yukon government that resulted in a shift of the day-to-day political tensions and disputes in Yukon moving from a federal-territorial orientation to a territorial-local one. Two key themes are consistently present in Yukon’s political and educational history.
