- In 2018, random mandatory alcohol screening became a reality of the Canadian justice system. Before the law had even come into effect, it was being welcomed with open arms by some, and immediately castigated as unconstitutional by others. Compelling arguments for both sides have emerged in the wake of debate. Where Bill C-46 has enacted laws which have adversely affected the rights of drivers, an analysis of the new laws written within the Canadian Criminal Code, warrant an audit of their alignment with the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. This thesis challenges the constitutionality of section 320.27 (2) of the Canadian Criminal Code against sections 7 and 1 of the Canadian...

- In response to the vast overrepresentation of Indigenous peoples in Canadian corrections, the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) developed initiatives that are intended to provide Indigenous offenders with culturally appropriate services to address their unique needs and reduce the number of Indigenous offenders in corrections. There is strong statistical evidence that validate the notion that culturally specific healing programs can improve the recidivism rates of Indigenous offenders post-release. In turn, this suggests that Indigenous spiritual healing has the capacity to address risk factors and prevent high recidivism rates (Milward, 2011, p. 47). However, healing lodges lack the...

- This presentation provides an overview of two online toolkits created for the Alberta Open Educational Resources Initiative. The Champion's Toolkit provides strategies for promoting OER at educational institutions. The Starter Kit outlines considerations when adopting or creating OER such as intended audience, copyright, and accessibility and usability. The presentation was given at the OER In and Across Disciplines Conference at Mount Royal University, on Nov 9, 2016.

- Not sure if games are good or bad for us? Not sure how much of what you hear is hype and how much is real? Want to know what it is that has your students so pre-occupied? For many of today’s generation, digital games are replacing television as leisure activity and hype about games for learning in school settings is once again increasing. Digital games have become at least as much a part of our culture as television was to previous generations and so, it behoves us to become familiar with the medium, but where can a novice go to get some experience? Games are no longer trivial so how are we to know where to start?

- Librarians at an undergraduate university have embarked on a year-long project to map what is actually being taught in each of the over six hundred course-integrated information literacy (IL) classes taught each year. Data from the project is informing planning for IL programming as we develop a more strategic program-integrated curriculum that makes better use of librarians’ expertise. We are gaining insights on areas of duplication and opportunities to develop higher-level IL sessions to address more advanced use of information.

- In 1992, Doulas Wiens suggested a problem that considers the optimal design minimizing the variance of the estimator of the parameters of regression function when the fitted model is correct, subject to a bound on the bias term which occurs when the true model is different from the assumed one. The corresponding optimal designs can be called bounded bias optimal designs. Some general results for D-optimality was obtained and published (see Liu and Wiens, 1997). In this paper, we study mainly A-optimal designs. For some special cases of bounded functions, explicitly design measures are given.

- Over the past several decades, higher education in Canada has expanded dramatically. Postsecondary institutions (PSIs) have struggled to both respond to this competitive environment, while simultaneously generating value for its core stakeholders – students – which align with its mission and vision. Comprehending the underlying relational dynamics between a student and their PSI will aid in improving retention rates, satisfaction levels, shared values, advocacy, loyalty, and efficiency overall. The current project will investigate what variables contribute to the creation of relational value between students and a PSI. Relationship marketing (RM) is the theoretical foundation of this...

- The focus of this Honours thesis revolves around the over-representation of Canada’s Aboriginal population in the criminal justice system compared with the rest of the population. This Honours thesis will examine some attempts to deal with this over-representation undertaken by Corrections Services Canada, in particular, the Community Holistic Circle Healing (CHCH) program at Hollow Water, Manitoba. In addition to addressing some of the causes of violent and non-violent criminal behaviour among the population of Hollow Water, this Honours thesis will include an explanatory case study of the program implemented at Hollow Water from 1984 to the present in an effort to address crime. The...

- In Canada, the sale of sex for money was not illegal under the former legislative structure. Regardless, the laws making up that structure were challenged for constitutionality in two cases and were heard by the Supreme Court of Canada. Two vastly different decisions were delivered in the 1990 Prostitution Reference and Bedford decisions, with the latter case repealing the old sex work laws. The Canadian government drafted new laws in response to the repealed laws. Evidence suggests that the new model of sex work regulation is harmful and does little to address the constitutional defects identified in the Bedford decision. This legislative approach comes from the adoption of perspectives...
