  • 2010-2011 We Came Together As Educators, Staff and One
    WE ARE A COLLECTION OF DIFFERENCES BOUND TOGETHER BY A NEED TO NEVER BE THE SAME. WE ARE PAINTERS, PIONEERS AND JEWELLERS. CRAFTSMEN, ARTISANS AND DESIGNERS. VISIONARIES, THINKERS AND CREATORS. WE ARE FUELLED BY PASSION FOR CONCEPT AND COMMUNITY. WE ARE STRENGTH AND DESIRE. WE ARE CHALLENGE AND CHANGE. WE ARE WHAT WAS AND WHAT WILL BE. WE ARE STORIES, IDEAS AND PATHS CONNECTING. WE ARE HEART OVER HEAD, CREATIVITY ABOVE ALL. WE ARE INDIVIDUALS BOUND TOGETHER BY A COLLECTIVE NEED TO LOOK AT THE WORLD THROUGH DIFFERENT EYES. ALBERTA COLLEGE OF ART + DESIGN YEAR IN REVIEW TABLE OF CONTENTS / 1 COLLECTIVE EXCELLENCE YOU ARE WHAT YOU CREATE RIGHT BRAIN, MEET LEFT BRAIN YEAR IN Review 2010–2011 COLLECTIVE EXCELLENCE COLLECTIVE EXCELLENCE 2 / 3 COLLECTIVE EXCELLENCE The stories that defined our year. ACAD is a leading centre for education and research, and a catalyst for creative inquiry and cultural development. Each year, our faculty, staff, students and alumni create work, contribute new and creative research and redefine the boundaries of contemporary art and design practice in ways which change the world. As we are a collection of differences, so are we a collective with a common goal — to open the doors for our students, our community and our nation to the future of art and design. YEAR IN Review 2010–2011 COLLECTIVE EXCELLENCE MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT + CEO 4 / 5 MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENTPRESIDENT + CEOCEO INTRODUCTION This Annual Report does not tell the story of ACAD, it tells part of the story. The full story of our 2010–2011 academic year includes too many events, activities, awards and presentations given to count, and we find ourselves in the enviable position of having to limit this telling to the tip of a very rich and deep iceberg.

  • Report to Community
    2016 Report to Community Providing shelter, sanctuary & healing to Calgary’s most vulnerable families. Dear Supporters, I am honoured to have recently joined Inn from the Cold as the organization’s Executive Director. Abe Brown Although I am new to this organization, I have a long history of serving Calgary’s most vulnerable populations and I am passionate about supporting them with research-based and innovative best MBA, M.R.Ed/C, practices which lead to empowerment and sustainability. This is Inn from the Cold’s look back at 2016, and I personally wish to extend my thanks to Executive Director, each and every one of you for your support in helping us offer shelter, sanctuary and healing to homeless children and their families to help them achieve independence. 2016 was a Inn from the Cold challenging year for many in our city, and I am proud to be part of an organization that met those challenges head on. We served many families through our programs and services, and offered a continuum of care through our Emergency Family Shelter, Early Childhood Development program, Housing with Intensive Supports and Journey House, our long-term housing program for female headed families. From overwhelming research, we also know that mental health, physical health, and addictions are primary barriers that trap vulnerable populations in homelessness, and so we are excited about our medical clinics and programs, which provide sustainable care and support to the families we serve. We also had the honour of being named one of Canada’s Top 10 Impact Charities by Charity Intelligence and being awarded the Western Legacy Sustained Contribution Group Award.

After the Nicaraguan Government announced that it had asked two key human rights institutions to leave the country, the head of the United Nation Human Rights Ms Michelle Bachelet, said on Friday that she was extremely alarmed by a decision that means, in effect, there will be no functioning independent human rights bodies left in Nicaragua. According to High Commissioner Bachelet, the two non-profit human rights organisations were set up by the Inter-American Commission for Human Rights:IACHR, in full co-operation with the Government after the violence and unrest earlier this year. One of them is MESENI, a follow-up mechanism from IACHR, set up specifically for Nicaragua and the other is known as, the Interdisciplinary Group of Independent Experts:GIEI. “After the earlier cancellation of the registration and confiscation of properties of national NGOs working on human rights, the de facto expulsion of the two IACHR organisations means there are now virtually no functioning independent human rights bodies left in Nicaragua.” said Ms Bachelet. She added further that the Government has said it will no longer accept visits by the IACHR itself. 1 Since April, when student-led protests began in response to a decree, which raised taxes and ordered changes to social security, hundreds of people have been arrested.
