  • MOUTHPIECE the Unofficial Voice of SHTC
    MOUTHPIECE The unofficial voice of SHTC Our own sweet gain... JACQUES O’SULLIVAN!! If the School of Hospitality, Tourism & Culture (SHTC) started collecting advertising fees, then Coke would be the FIRST Corporation to contribute - all thanks to Jacques O’Sullivan! If you are curious about the connection between ‘Jacques’ and ‘O’Sullivan’ (how often do you come across a French and an Irish name together), we’d like to solve the mystery, he was born in Montreal and so the French name ‘Jacques’. Jacques first started teaching at Centennial College in 1986 and became a Full-time Professor in 1988. Few people know that his broth- er Sean O’Sullivan was Canada’s youngest Member of Parliament (MP). The name O’Sullivan still carries tremendous weight after all these years. After Sean quit politics, many political parties approached Jacques to represent his constituency in Parliament. Centennial College gained big time (one of his favourite expressions) when Jacques chose a career in academics instead of politics. In addition to managing a full teaching load, Jacques has always dedicated his time and efforts towards student success and student satisfaction. In fact, he took this on so seriously early on in his teaching career that first thing every Monday morning, Jacques and fellow faculty Diarmuid O’Connor would meet with Gary Robinson (Ex-Chair) to discuss issues relating to life within and outside of the classroom. So much so, they became extremely dedicated to these meetings and started team teaching. Classes were split up into ‘dyads and triads’, and this technique of teaching was extremely successful.

  • Research Board Minutes
    Research Board Minutes Date: January 27, 2021 Time: 10:00 am – 12:00 pm Place: Google Meets Attendees: K. Atkinson, B. Chang, C. Davidson, A. Eamer, G. Edwards, S. Forrester, J. Freeman, L. Jacobs (Chair), M. Lemonde, S. Rahnamayan, L. Roy, V. Sharpe (secretary), A. Slane Guest(s): Regrets: 1. Approval of the agenda Approved by consensus. 2. Approval of previous meeting’s minutes Approved by consensus. 3. Report of the Vice President Research & Innovation Canada Research Chairs - L. Jacobs shared that both our CRC applications have been approved. He thanked Laura Rendl, Jenn Freeman and the Dean’s offices in FBIT and FEAS as well as individual faculty members for the immense work that went into the applications. There is currently an embargo on releasing the names of the CRCs but we are able to share internally that the FEAS Tier 1 is starting May 1 and the FBIT Tier 2 is starting on June 1. Many people have made significant moves to get them involved in the university research enterprise already. The Tier 1 is already integrated into a number of diverse initiatives including our partnership with the University of Miami. We have plans to get the Tier 2 involved in a number of projects such as project arrow and cybersecurity initiatives. It would be ideal to have them ready to hit the ground running when they start at the university. ACTION: If you have ideas about where they might fit in with your research or your faculty’s research reach out to L. Jacobs and he can connect you.

  • General Manager Subway Construction Date
    TORONTO TRANSIT COMMISSION REPORT NO. S7 Meeting Date June 4, 1968 From: General Manager Subway Construction Date: June 3, 1968 QUEEN STREET SUBWAY FOR STREETCAR OPERATION The Commission, at its meeting of February 8, 1966, approved advising the City of Toronto that it was prepared to co-operate in the study of a "transit facility in the downtown section of Queen Street" and approved advising the Metropolitan Council that the Commission proposes to undertake this study at a cost of $30,000.00, it being understood that the cost involved would form part of the capital cost of the project when approved. The General Secretary transmitted the above approval of the Commission to the City Clerk in a letter dated February 22, 1966, a copy of which is attached. In a letter dated November 2, 1966, a copy of which is attached, the Commission was advised by the Metropolitan Clerk that Metropolitan Council had adopted Clause No. 2 of Report No. 16 of the Transportation Committee, headed "Proposed Queen Street Subway", as amended. The recommendation of Clause No. 2 reads as follows, "It is recommended that the Metropolitan Council formally request the Toronto Transit Commission to complete their study of the physical aspects of the Queen Street tunnel as outlined in the Commission's letter of February 22, 1966, on the understanding that the required expenditure of $30,000.00 will form part of the capital cost of the project." The amendment to Clause No. 2 reads as follows, "The matter of the Queen Street tunnel being considered in relation to the question of the Queen-Greenwood Subway." In accordance with all the foregoing, plans were developed for a "transit facility in the downtown section on Queen Street", and in addition to this a preliminary examination was made of the downtown section in relation to it becoming part of the Queen-Greenwood Subway.

  • Rapid Transit in Toronto Levyrapidtransit.Ca TABLE of CONTENTS
    The Neptis Foundation has collaborated with Edward J. Levy to publish this history of rapid transit proposals for the City of Toronto. Given Neptis’s focus on regional issues, we have supported Levy’s work because it demon- strates clearly that regional rapid transit cannot function eff ectively without a well-designed network at the core of the region. Toronto does not yet have such a network, as you will discover through the maps and historical photographs in this interactive web-book. We hope the material will contribute to ongoing debates on the need to create such a network. This web-book would not been produced without the vital eff orts of Philippa Campsie and Brent Gilliard, who have worked with Mr. Levy over two years to organize, edit, and present the volumes of text and illustrations. 1 Rapid Transit in Toronto levyrapidtransit.ca TABLE OF CONTENTS 6 INTRODUCTION 7 About this Book 9 Edward J.
