    PLANNING FOR THE HOUSING IMPACTS OF A HALLMARK EVENT: A CASE STUDY OF EXPO 86 By KRISTOPHER N.

Department of Canrnurrity and Regional Planning The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada na. April 26, 1988 DE-6 (2/88) i i ABSTRACT This study proposes a strategy which will assist governments, the sponsors of hallmark events, and community groups to identify and plan for the negative housing impacts of such events. Hallmark events are major one-time or recurring : events of limited duration, developed primarily to enhance the awareness, appeal and profitability of a tourist destination in the short and/or long term. World's Fairs and Olympic Games are two examples of hallmark events. The 1986 World's Fair (Expo 86) in Vancouver provided an opportunity to document the impacts of this hallmark event on the residents of a community which borders the fair site and on the planning practices of the local government.

  • So You Think Government Is Boring
    Lesson Plan Title So You Think Government is Boring... Audience Primarily intended for Social Studies 11, but can be modified for all grade levels. Overview We all love to listen to a good story. Government is often viewed as being "boring", but teachers can utilize the art of storytelling to act as a medium through which they can capture their students’ imaginations. Through narratives, concepts are placed within a more meaningful context, historical figures come to life, and otherwise seemingly mundane details can become memorable. Objectives • To engage students in the processes of government • To foster an appreciation for the history and traditions of government • To help students realize the impact one individual can make on government and society. So You Think Government is Boring... Page 1 Activities and Methods • Attached handouts. Teacher needs to pre-read the story he/she plans to use and pair it with the topic that best corresponds. • Teacher will read selected story at the beginning and choose from the topical pairing suggestions: Appendix A – Gracie's Finger (Electoral boundaries and size of electoral districts) Appendix B – The First “Families First” (1917) (Suffrage, minimum wage laws, first acting female Speaker of the Legislative Assembly, first female British Empire Cabinet Minister, Independent MLA, Cabinet Solidarity) Appendix C – The Agony & the Architect (History of the Parliament Buildings, impact of one individual on government and society.) Appendix D – Off With His Head! (Role of the Speaker, History of Parliament, Parliamentary traditions) Appendix E – Living Legend (Role of the Clerk of the Legislative Assembly, individual commitment to parliamentary democracy, civic engagement) Appendix F – More Than Meets the Eye (Parliamentary democracy, separating politics from government) Appendix G – En Garde! (Parliamentary tradition) Duration of Activity • Length will vary depending on how teacher chooses to incorporate individual stories into lesson plan.
