Introduction Since Time Immemorial, Human Beings Have Used Narrative
Chapter 1 – Introduction Since time immemorial, human beings have used narrative to help us make sense of our experience of life. From the fireside to the theatre, from the television and silver screen to the more recent manifestations of the virtual world, we have used storytelling as a means of providing structure, order, and coherence to what can otherwise appear an overwhelming infinity of random, unrelated events. In ordering the perceived chaos of the world around us into a structure we can grasp, narrative provides insight and understanding not only of events themselves, but on a more fundamental level, of the very essence of what it means to live as a human being. As the primary means by which historical writing is organized, narrative has attracted a large body of historians and philosophers who have grappled with its impact on our understanding of the past. Underlying their work is the tension between historical writing as a reflection of what took place in the past, and the essence of narrative as a creative, imaginative act. The very structure of Aristotelian narrative, with its causal link between events, its clearly defined beginning, middle and end, its promise of catharsis, its theme or moral, reflects an act of imagination on the part of its author. While an effective narrative first and foremost strives to draw us into its world of story and keep us there until the ending, the primary goal of historical writing, in theory at least, is to increase our understanding about the past. While these two goals are not inherently incompatible, they do not always work in concert. -

MONEY (More Opportunities Not Experienced Yet) is a program intended to assist people in increasing their financial literacy, which was developed in 2010 by CSC though consultation with numerous other groups. The project is funded by the TD Financial Literacy Grants Fund which is founded by partners SEDI and TD Financial. The program is aimed at broadening the array and delivery methods of financial management information and services primarily to people who face economic disadvantages. Through collaboration with consumers, community groups, government and professionals, MONEY has identified existing services, gaps, barriers and successful practices relating to financial literacy in this province. Building on existing programs, MONEY hopes to aid in the uptake of financial information and services by training community-based trainers who will then offer information sessions and raise awareness among community groups, their clients and members of the public. -
Metrobus Market Assessment and Strategic Direc Ons Study
Metrobus Market Assessment and Strategic Direcons Study FINAL REPORT 2011 St. John’s Transportation Commission (Metrobus) 2011 Market Assessment and Strategic Directions Study – Executive Summary EXECUTIVE SUMMARY STUDY PROCESS Metrobus engaged Dillon Consulting Limited to provide a Market Assessment and Strategic Directions Study for the St. John’s transit system. The need for this study was precipitated by the decline in reported transit ridership since the major service changes in 2007. Both the accuracy of ridership reporting and the integrity of the revenue collection and handling systems were reviewed. As well, a major onboard passenger survey was conducted on March 23rd, 2010 to understand the characteristics of current transit users and to probe their reactions to the recent service changes. Additional surveys were conducted with post secondary students, local businesses and the general public (through the Metrobus web site). Individual stakeholder meetings and focus groups with system personnel and transit users also contributed valuable input to the study. The current services were reviewed by an experienced team of consultants and suggestions offered for system enhancements and productivity improvements. Future transit market opportunities were identified for their potential to generate ridership growth and assessed for the resulting implications on Metrobus. Finally, the material gathered and analyzed was used to assist Metrobus management staff in updating their existing Five Year Strategic Plan for the period 2011 to 2015. KEY FINDINGS Concerning the integrity of the revenue collection and handling systems, the review indicated that there is no cause for concern. Duties are clear and separated, secure processes are in place and revenue is protected. -
