CREATING MORE SURVIVORS the Race to Save Lives Starts with RESEARCH 2014 REPORT TO DONORS THIS IS HOW YOU ARE CREATING MORE SURVIVORS The race to save lives starts WITH RESEARCH. You are the Heart and Stroke Foundation’s biggest asset and greatest ambassador. Your generosity is breathing life into innovative research that brings us closer to our vision of healthy lives free of heart disease and stroke. In 2014 alone, you helped to create 165,000 survivors. Each one has a story — a story of love, family and memories. A story that could have ended prematurely. Thanks to your investment in research that prevents disease, saves lives and promotes recovery, their stories will continue to unfold. Within these pages, you will meet some of these survivors and the researchers creating breakthroughs in their care. You’ll see how your support is fundamentally altering the narrative for survivors and the family and friends who love them. The work you fund today will have even more impact on generations to come, in countless stories that have yet to be told: • The 14-year-old who will never start smoking thanks to government policies that protect her from exposure to flavoured and menthol tobacco. • The husband who will recognize the signs of stroke in his wife and call an ambulance as a result of donor-funded awareness campaigns. • The grandmother who will get back to golf and swimming after a heart attack, thanks to a breakthrough therapy that uses her own cells to repair her heart. Healthy lives free of heart disease and stroke is a realistic vision. Together we will make it happen. Thank you, 165,000 times.

Please ensure that any reproduction or re-use is done in accordance with the relevant national copyright legislation. Approval Name: Karen Fiorini Degree: Doctor of Philosophy Title: Dehumanization in the workplace Examining Committee: Chair: Laurie Anderson Executive Director, SFU Vancouver Heesoon Bai Senior Supervisor Professor Allan MacKinnon Supervisor Associate Professor Avraham Cohen Supervisor Sessional Adler University Charles Scott Internal Examiner Adjunct Professor John Portelli External Examiner Professor Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto Date Defended/Approved: March 8, 2019 ii Abstract Workplace stress is often referred to as the epidemic of the century. It is so normalized within our society that it often goes unrecognized and unquestioned. This study describes and explores the phenomenon of workplace stress. This study looks at some of the key factors, such as overwork, being undervalued in the workplace, and emotional labour, that contributes to workplace stress. This study makes a case that workplace stress is a cloaked phenomenon for dehumanization. The research starts with theoretical overview of dehumanization through different theoretical constructs, such as instrumentalism and moral disengagement, and also through Haslam's and Montague's models of dehumanization. The theoretical explorations here consider how we have allowed ourselves to become dehumanized and how we have allowed others to be dehumanized.

Personal carbon trading is a scheme under which all individuals are allocated a number of free carbon allowances forming a personal carbon budget. Persons whose carbon emissions are lower than their carbon budgets can sell their surplus to persons who have exceeded theirs. As distributed allowances are reduced annually, consumers are encouraged to modify their behaviour and/or adopt technologies in order not to exceed their carbon budget.

  • Board Shareholder Confidence Index 2015
    Board Shareholder Confidence Index 2015 Developed in spring 2003, the Board Shareholder Confidence Index comprises factors often used by active shareholders to assess Boards of Directors*. While there are other variables not in our model that contribute to the effectiveness of Boards -- including elements that can only be observed from inside the boardroom -- we capture factors affecting shareholders’ confidence in the Boards’ abilities to fulfill their duties. These factors are different from the TSX Guidelines for effective corporate governance in that they take into account the shareholders’ perception of risk. Based on factors available to those outside the walls of the boardroom, we evaluate and rank Boards of Directors by their potential to act in an effective way and by their performance, as indicated by past practices. The score is developed using four linked steps. The result is a transparent, objective, and adaptable rating system that assigns companies listed on the S&P/TSX Composite Index a score out of 150. *Please see the BSCI 2015 Methodology for further details.

  • Yuxweluptun, Nicolson and Assu: Land, Environment and Activist Art in British Columbia
    Yuxweluptun, Nicolson and Assu: Land, Environment and Activist Art in British Columbia By Jasmine Inglis A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts In Art History Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2016, Jasmine Inglis Abstract Land rights and environmental issues have long been the cause of fiercely intense and heated disputes between the Canadian government and Aboriginal communities in British Columbia. As a province rich in natural resources and with much unceded Aboriginal territory, the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries have been times of intense discussion and debate as to how to address and resolve these issues. Contemporary Aboriginal Northwest Coast artists have become powerful voices for facing issues that affect their communities and Canadians at large. This thesis focuses on the representation of land loss and environmental concerns in British Columbia through the work of contemporary Cowichan Coast Salish and Okanagan artist Lawrence Paul Yuxweluptun and Kwakwaka’wakw artists Marianne Nicolson and Sonny Assu. The objective is to bring a fresh perspective to understanding the politicized artistic practice of these three artists by considering their work as a form of environmental activism. I examine the relationships between the three artists while contextualizing their work within twentieth- century developments in Northwest Coast art. This research is informed by in-person interviews with the artists conducted in January 2016, as well as the work of scholars Gerald Vizenor, Philip J. Deloria and James Clifford among others. ii Acknowledgements I would like to express my deepest gratitude to those who helped me throughout this project.
