  • Northern Greenhouses: an Alternative Local Food Provisioning Strategy for Nunavik
    Northern Greenhouses: An Alternative Local Food Provisioning Strategy for Nunavik Thèse Ellen Avard Doctorat en sciences géographiques Philosophiae doctor (Ph.D.) Québec, Canada © Ellen Avard, 2015 Résumé Les serres nordiques: Une approche alternative à la sécurité alimentaire au Nunavik Les communautés inuites font face à des changements socioculturels et environnementaux rapides ainsi qu’à plusieurs défis concernant la sécurité alimentaire. Récemment, plusieurs projets innovateurs ont pris forme pour pallier aux coûts élevés et la qualité discutable des aliments frais dans le Nord. Cette recherche s’est déroulée au Nunavik (la région inuite de la province de Québec, Canada) et a été élaborée en utilisant une approche de recherche participative. L’objectif de ce travail était de documenter et de participer au développement d’un projet pilote de serre dans le village de Kuujjuaq dans le but de développer un modèle de sécurité alimentaire alternative pour le Nord. Plusieurs personnes ont, de prime abord, remis en question la viabilité à long terme d’un projet de serre dans une communauté inuite. Pourtant, les résultats de cette recherche démontrent qu’il y a de l’intérêt et du soutien de tous les secteurs pour ce type d’initiative. Les résultats démontrent également qu’une stratégie d’approvisionnement local basée sur la serriculture est techniquement faisable et socialement acceptable. La conclusion générale de cette recherche est que les serres nordiques ont le potentiel de devenir des éléments clés dans une nouvelle stratégie alimentaire nordique, une stratégie qui sera plus résiliente que celle que nous connaissons aujourd'hui, et qui va contribuer de manière durable à l’essor de la capacité communautaire et au développement socioéconomique des villages nordiques.

    2020 Squaring the Circle Adopting UNDRIP in Canada Tom Flanagan 2020 • Fraser Institute Squaring the Circle Adopting UNDRIP in Canada by Tom Flanagan fraserinstitute.org Contents Executive Summary / i Introduction / 1 UNDRIP’s History / 3 Federal Bills / 6 British Columbia / 9 Discussion / 11 References / 15 About the Author / 20 Acknowledgments / 20 Publishing Information / 21 Supporting the Fraser Institute / 22 Purpose, Funding, and Independence / 22 About the Fraser Institute / 23 Editorial Advisory Board / 24 fraserinstitute.org Flanagan x Squaring the Circle x i Executive Summary The United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous People (UNDRIP) was approved by the United Nations General Assembly in 2007. Its most controversial fea- ture is a call for “free, prior, and informed consent” (FPIC) by Indigenous peoples before economic development projects can take place on lands they inhabit or to which they may have a claim. Because UNDRIP is neither a convention nor a treaty, it is not legally binding unless it is adopted in legislation. Canada opposed UNDRIP at the United Nations because FPIC and similar sweeping provisions in the document are not con- sistent with Canadian constitutional law. The government of Stephen Harper adopted it in 2010 with the proviso that it was a statement of aspirations but not legally binding. The same position was taken by the United States, Australia, and New Zealand. Since 2010, Indigenous advocates have made several attempts to enshrine UNDRIP in legislation, using ambiguous language about its legal impact. Support by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission was particularly important. NDP MP Roméo Saganash presented two private member’s bills that ultimately failed to receive passage in Parliament.

The Inuit Movement in Canada's Newest Territory Holly Ann Dobbins Syracuse University Follow this and additional works at: https://surface.syr.edu/etd Part of the Social and Behavioral Sciences Commons Recommended Citation Dobbins, Holly Ann, "Nunavut, A Creation Story. The Inuit Movement in Canada's Newest Territory" (2019).

It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract This is a qualitative study of the 30-year land claim negotiation process (1963-1993) through which the Inuit of Nunavut transformed themselves from being a marginalized population with few recognized rights in Canada to becoming the overwhelmingly dominant voice in a territorial government, with strong rights over their own lands and waters. In this study I view this negotiation process and all of the activities that supported it as part of a larger Inuit Movement and argue that it meets the criteria for a social movement. This study bridges several social sciences disciplines, including newly emerging areas of study in social movements, conflict resolution, and Indigenous studies, and offers important lessons about the conditions for a successful mobilization for Indigenous rights in other states. In this research I examine the extent to which Inuit values and worldviews directly informed movement emergence and continuity, leadership development and, to some extent, negotiation strategies.

INTRODUCTION The Petroglyph Project originated from the Municipality of Kangiqsujuaq who had for a number of years expressed some coucems about the preservation of the Qajartalik site (JhEv-2) (Figure 1). In recent years, increased visits at the site have had negative impacts on the petroglyphs. Thus, it was decided that a first expedition would be organized in 1996 to verify the state of preservation of the Qajartalik site, as well as implementing a preliminary survey of the area to determine its archaeological potential for a long-term research project.

  • COVID-19; Taqramiut Nipingat Inc
    COVID-19; Taqramiut Nipingat Inc. closes the Dorval office and implements measures at it’s Salluit office Dorval, QC, March 17, 2020 –Taqramiut Nipingat Inc. (TNI) has taken some measures in both its Dorval and Salluit offices to reduce the risks of contracting and/or spreading the COVID-19 virus. Effective March 16th 2020, until March 27th 2020 inclusively, the Dorval office is closed. Employees with the tools to work from home are asked to do so. All employees will continue to be paid during this quarantine period. Also, effective March 17th, the Salluit office will not be allowed any visitors under any circumstances and for this, we are asking for the population’s cooperation. This measure will be in effect for as long as necessary to prevent exposure and contamination of the office. “TNI Salluit is the radio production center where all broadcasts are recorded and aired, therefore making this one of the essential services to the Nunavik region. If we have any of our producers exposed to the COVID-19 virus, we will have no choice but to quarantine all of our staff and close our doors for 14 days, which would mean no radio services for 14 days. This is a situation we are working to avoid at all costs” says Julie Grenier, Director General of TNI. Employees with children attending daycares and schools affected by the closures are also being asked to stay home and self-isolate. Thus far, we have not been informed of any cases in Nunavik, however if the situation changes, we will take further measures to ensure the safety of our staff.

  • Brief to the Electoral Reform Committee
    Brief to the Electoral Reform Committee My name is Jennifer Ross and I’m most definitely writing this as an individual. I work full time in a public accounting office, and have for the last 27 years. I currently hold the position as Treasurer of Fair Vote Canada (FVC) and am a proud Liberal Party member, and serve on the board of the Kitchener Centre Federal Liberal Association. I’m also one of the leaders of FVC’s Liberals for Fair Voting Caucus. Oh, yes, and I’m also part of the Fair Vote Canada Waterloo Region Chapter. I’m not good at schmoozing or saying things with great tact. I don’t mean anything to be insulting, it is just how I see it. No sugar-coating with me. Summary I had been following along with the expert testimony meetings of the ERRE, and want to bring to your attention certain issues and items that I think need either greater attention, or clarification, or downright alternative evidence. These include; expert witness equality, best runners up, votes that count, mandatory voting, and the need to focus on citizen or human sensibilities. All Experts are not Created Equal On occasion I have been bothered by what seems to be an apparent decision to treat every expert witness and their testimony as equal to every other expert witness and testimony. All witnesses heard from at the ERRE deserve the respect and thanks of Canadians and ERRE committee members. But that doesn’t make them all equal in terms of expertise and reputation.
