Vision To ensure a sustainable future and improve the quality of life in Greater Saint John. We are proud to be part of a national initiative through Community Foundations of Canada called VitalSigns®, by which we “take the pulse” of Greater Saint John, using agreed upon indicators of our quality of life. As a public foundation whose mission is to improve the local quality of life, we need to measure it, rate ourselves and take regular “soundings”. We should celebrate our successes and be open to challenges which demand our collective efforts. Taking a “snapshot” of our community helps us to understand where we have been, where we are and where we should be going. Whether you are a public servant, newcomer, educator, physician, volunteer, social worker, entrepreneur, elected official or interested citizen, it is a valuable tool for all sectors of our community. In 2006, we inaugurated this program with our precursor document “Taking Stock” and in 2007 and 2008 officially participated as a VitalSigns® community foundation. We are pleased to have been able to engage the Saint John Human Development Council to help research and prepare them. Recognizing that it is a subjective process, we expanded the “star” grading process to the broader community this year. We acknowledge the help of over three hundred community members for participating in the online survey. Others helped identify additional sources of data and information against which we can measure ourselves in the ten key indicator groupings and sub-groupings. We thank Community Foundations of Canada for their ongoing support. Through their vision, across Canada, 15 other communities are launching their own versions of VitalSigns® simultaneously. These communities include: Victoria, Metro Vancouver, Calgary, Medicine Hat, Red Deer, Ottawa, Toronto, Oakville, Guelph & Wellington, Waterloo Region, London & Middlesex, Greater Sudbury, Greater Montreal, Fredericton, and Greater Saint John. The VitalSigns® trademark is used with permission from the Toronto Community Foundation, whose original concept sparked interest in making this a national initiative. The Greater Saint John Community Foundation has committed to producing VitalSigns® for a decade. Our hope is that we can look back over ten years and see measurable improvements, as Greater Saint John’s VitalSigns® are evaluated.

Public sector union growth has often been thought to have differed fundamentally from the experience of private sector unions, on the grounds that union rights were extended to public sector workers without struggle. The history of CUPE New Brunswick, established in 1963, and its predecessor unions in the 1950s demonstrates the complex struggles of civil servants and public employees to acquire and then to apply collective bargaining rights in the province of New Brunswick. While the enactment of the Public Service Labour Relations Act (PSLRA) in 1968 provided a legal means for civil servants to join a union and bargain collectively, public sector workers continued to struggle for improved wages and working conditions throughout the 1970s and 1980s.

  • Stepping Stones": Women and Political Rights

    Stepping Stones": Women and Political Rights

    "Stepping Stones": Women and Political Rights n 1784 an Order-in-Council at the Court of St. James in I London created the province of New Brunswick by separating the newly defined territory from the province of Nova Scotia. An influx of Loyalist refugees a year earlier had so augmented the population of the region, already peopled with Micmacs, Maliseets and reestablished Acadians, and had so increased demands for land grants that the colonial government in Halifax found the region difficult to administer efficiently, especially at such a distance. Some of the newly arrived Loyalists, impatient with the slowness of the Halifax government and displeased with sharing Nova Scotia with peoples they considered less loyal than themselves to the British crown, began agitating for their own administration. England was convinced. A new government was in order. A new province.' Born not of revolution - either military or ideological - the administrative creation hardly signaled an attempt at building a wholly new society. Rather, it reaffirmed the continued presence of English legal and political tradition in the region. This tradition, distinguished like other European legal and political systems by values based on male dominance of family and state,2 was to shape the lives of women and men of diverse cultures now living in the new province.3 What did the creation of the province signify in political terms to the women of the province - to the original women, theMicmacs and the Maliseets; to the reestablished Acadian women; to the recently established Black women;4 and to the newly arrived and diverse Loyalist women? Although the question requires us to evaluate the situation of 18th century women with 20th century criteria, we can nevertheless affirm that for even the most elitely placed of these women, the establishment of a new political order in the region did not improve or even alter women's status.

Demographic shifts such as this led to metropolitan regions effectively encompassing multiple municipalities. This created challenges to the coordination of public administration across the city-region; an example of sociological change bringing pressure on political institutions. In Greater Saint John, fragmentation of the metropolitan region has been a longstanding issue. Upon the recommendations of the 1963 Goldenberg Report, which cited the “metropolitan problem” concerning a fragmented Greater Saint John, the City of Saint John was amalgamated with the City of Lancaster and a portion of the Parish of Simonds. However, continued suburbanization in the Kennebecasis Valley in subsequent decades has again brought the problems of fragmentation to the fore, with the “metropolitan problem” once again a key issue.
