  • Data Analysis for Sector Recommendations
    DISTRICT OF SQUAMISH DATA ANALYSIS FOR SECTOR RECOMMENDATIONS PREPARED FOR: FOREWORD The modern-day economy of Squamish has significantly evolved from a century ago when it was a southern railway terminus. Squamish was built on its foundation of logging and tourism stimulated by transportation and railway improvements, proximity to natural resources and regional markets, and the establishment of largescale, industrial manufacturing as well as deep-water break-bulk facilities. Squamish is on the cusp of monumental change and is well positioned to share in British Columbia’s (BC’s) leading economic and job growth for Canada. Squamish is leveraging its favorable geography, multitude of recreational assets and its quality of life amenities as part of its economic diversification strategy. Several emerging sectors have experienced firm and employment growth, including hospitality and tourism; knowledge-based industries and education; clean energy; high tech; media production; and light manufacturing. To build upon its current momentum, it is paramount that Squamish prioritize areas for economic growth with a strategic approach and efficient planning. This report focuses on target industries suited for driving community wealth and is the precursor to a more comprehensive action plan. This in turn, will provide insight to maximize the positive impact derived from these targeted industries. Economic Development Office, District of Squamish EXECUTIVE SUMMARY From 2017 to present, British Columbia has experienced Canada's highest economic and employment growth and lowest inflation. Gross Domestic Product in the province rose by 3.9% in 2017, up from 3.6% in 2016. Though natural resources, transportation/warehousing, construction, professional services, education and manufacturing are some of the largest job providers in B.C., the province has emerged as a leader in subsectors, at the intersection of traditional sectors and new technologies.

Eugene Shephard, P.E. Principal Project Manager Associate Engineer US District Court – District of Maine Alternatives Evaluation Report Penobscot River Phase III Engineering Study EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In January 2016, the United States District Court for the District of Maine (the Court) selected Amec Foster Wheeler Environment & Infrastructure, Inc. (Amec Foster Wheeler) to conduct the Penobscot River Phase III Engineering Study (Phase III Engineering Study), to identify and evaluate feasible, effective and cost-effective measures to remediate mercury in the Penobscot River Estuary (the Estuary). The geographic area to be addressed within the Phase III Engineering Study is described by the Court as “the region from the site of the former Veazie Dam south to Upper Penobscot Bay, including Mendall Marsh and the Orland River." Beginning in 1967, a chlor-alkali facility located in Orrington, Maine released mercury into the Estuary. Releases of mercury at overall declining concentrations continued throughout facility operation and ceased with facility closure in 2000. In 2002, the Court ordered an independent scientific study, the Penobscot River Mercury Study, to assess the spatial distribution and impact of mercury discharge in the Penobscot River.

  • Inclusive Leadership Forum Event Summary and Resource Guide INTRODUCTION from VANCITY
    2020 Inclusive Leadership Forum Event Summary and Resource Guide INTRODUCTION FROM VANCITY In this year’s Face of Leadership™ Inclusive Leadership Forum, we heard from inspirational speakers how a diverse talent pool leads to greater innovation; the importance of having an intersectional approach to diversity, equity and inclusion; and that it’s vital to make space for diverse voices, including Indigenous, Black and people of colour. When COVID-19 hit, the people already vulnerable or disadvantaged were the first and hardest hit. The pandemic didn’t create inequality but revealed in significant ways the widespread and systemic inequities that exist within our communities. And in the early weeks of the pandemic, employment losses among women were over twice as high as among men. However, it’s equally important to remember that the pandemic also showed us what is possible when we come together in common purpose to meet a shared challenge. Minerva’s Face of Leadership™ Scorecard and Gender Diversity Pledge unites us to advance women in leadership and share best practices to create inclusive workplace cultures. Vancity is proud to be with like-minded peers willing to support and hold one another accountable to ensure gender equity, as well as broader diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace. Minerva BC is a charity that is dedicated to ABOUT advancing the leadership of women and girls. For two decades, we have helped women across British Columbia MINERVA expand their capacities through education, mentorship, and leadership training. We envision a world where all women and girls have the skills, opportunity, and confidence to lead.

  • Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls in Tiohtiá:Ke/Montreal: Towards a Meaningful Collaboration Between the SPVM and Indigenous Communities
    Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls in Tiohtiá:ke/Montreal: Towards a Meaningful Collaboration between the SPVM and Indigenous Communities by Dominique Bernier | Doris Farget | Mirja Trilsch Professors at the Département des sciences juridiques UQAM In collaboration with Quebec Native Women (QNW) Cover image As a visual representation of Looking Out For Each Other, we commissioned Wolastoq artist Susan Sacobie to create a piece of art to represent the project. She says: “This painting is for the missing and murdered Maliseet & Mi’kmaq women that were almost forgotten. The five women in this piece represent knowledge, faith, wisdom, justice and peace. They are wearing our traditional peaked hats decorated with the double curve motifs. The wampum belt on the bottom is our promise to each woman that their lives will be remembered, celebrated, honoured. The wampum belt is also a promise to each Native woman that we have to rebuild our matriarchal standing within each of our families & communities. We must humble ourselves and learn and teach one another about who we are, where we come from and to not be silent and share our individual stories so we can empower our sisters, stay connected and strong and in turn we keep our families and communities strong. Their connecting shields are protecting us and reminding each of us that it is an obligation and a privilege to guard one another because we are all connected. As mothers and daughters, the living as well as the women who crossed the rainbow bridge we have to tell ourselves and each other our lives matter, we are important and we have to love and respect each other unconditionally and stand together.” These words and the voices of Indigenous women will continue to guide the project.
