How On Earth Can We Live Together? In Search Of The Common Sense, N.A.
How On Earth Can We Live Together? In Search Of The Common Sense, N.A.
Aboriginal Policy Research Consortium International (APRCi)
Beginning on June 26, 2008 the Tällberg Forum will gather leaders and thinkers from seventy nations for four days of conversations and workshops related to the opportunities and chal- lenges of global interdependence. Tällberg conversations have increasingly focused on the sys- tems problems emerging from the growing imbalance between nature and human activity. Can we design, govern and manage the sustainable interaction between natural systems and the systems of human activity? Can we negotiate among ourselves the resolution of the planetary crisis? Can we find better ways to integrate the work of governments and institutions with the actions of other …
Community & Political Participation Of Municipal Employees: An Analysis Of The Community And Political Participation Of Municipal Employees In The City Of London, Jennifer Harmer
MPA Major Research Papers
This paper examines the types of community and political participation municipal employees favour and the effect of political activity regulations on participation based on a survey administered to public service employees in the City of London. The findings reveal that many municipal employees consider themselves to have a high amount of discretion in their duties and the commitment to public service transcends the workplace and translates into exceptional levels of participation in the community, but many are reluctant to engage in overt forms of political participation.
Attitudes Toward Public Health Funding: Results Of A Survey That Explored Differences In Support By Ontario Municipal Elected Officials For Local Public Health Programs, Elaine Reddick
MPA Major Research Papers
This paper examines the reluctance of municipal officials towards public health funding in Ontario based on a survey that aimed to determine if there was a difference in attitudes towards the municipal funding of public health by type of program. The findings reveal that while the respondents exhibited strong overall support for government funding of both types of programs, municipal politicians in Ontario showed a significant preference for committing municipal funds to protection-type programs than for promotion-type programs.
Differences In Population Growth: A Case Study Of Two Eastern Ontario Rural Municipalities, Beverly Kerby
Differences In Population Growth: A Case Study Of Two Eastern Ontario Rural Municipalities, Beverly Kerby
MPA Major Research Papers
This paper examines the possible explanations for significant population growth in rural areas using case studies of two municipalities in Eastern Ontario: Centre Hastings, which has experienced substantial population growth, and Stirling-Rawdon, which has not. Population statistics for each municipality are analyzed and related to the physical landscape, local economy, and local governments. The findings reveal that possible reasons for why the population of Centre Hastings has increased significantly include the building ban in Stirling, the concentration of services in Centre Hastings as a result of amalgamation, lower tax rates and unemployment rates, and the benefits associated with the geographical …
Municipal Capital Works Projects: An Analysis Of Scheduling Delays And Cost Escalations, Doug Mackay
Municipal Capital Works Projects: An Analysis Of Scheduling Delays And Cost Escalations, Doug Mackay
MPA Major Research Papers
This paper examines the primary reasons for the delays and cost overruns in municipal capital works projects in Ontario. Interviews with experts in municipal infrastructure projects – including employees from the municipal sector, the Ministry of the Environment, a conservation authority, and the Ministry of Transportation – were conducted. The findings reveal that there are numerous factors that have resulted in municipal capital works projects becoming increasingly difficult to deliver, but the primary factor was the introduction of the Environmental Assessment Act, which resulted in a lengthened schedule and added costs.

Impacts Of The Greenbelt Plan On The Agricultural Industry, Case Study: Town Of Erin, Wellington County, Robert Dwayne Evans
MPA Major Research Papers
This paper examines the impact of the Greenbelt Plan on the agricultural industry in the Greater Golden Horseshoe Area. An analysis of agricultural data from the 2001 Census and interviews with farmers living both within and outside of the Greenbelt Area in the lower-tier municipality of Erin were conducted. The findings reveal that the Greenbelt Plan does not have a negative impact on the agricultural industry in the Greater Golden Horseshoe and many participants cited the positive effects of the legislation.

Rethinking Devolution: Challenges For Aboriginal Resource Management In The Yukon Territory, David C. Natcher, Susan Davis
Rethinking Devolution: Challenges For Aboriginal Resource Management In The Yukon Territory, David C. Natcher, Susan Davis
Aboriginal Policy Research Consortium International (APRCi)
After decades of state administration, indigenous peoples throughout the world are now succeeding, to varying degrees, in the reimplementation of self-governing institutions and administrative processes. This reorientation has been most observable in the context of natural resource management, where a major policy trend has been to devolve state authority and administrative responsibility directly to local levels. While the language of devolution and local control now permeates local–state interaction, in many cases the new institutions that have been created following devolution have little resemblance to indigenous forms of management. In this article, we present some of the institutional and ideological factors …

Aboriginal Policy Research Consortium International (APRCi)
Co-chaired by Dan Beavon of Indian and Northern Affairs Canada, Jerry White of the University of Western Ontario, and Peter Dinsdale of the National Association of Friendship Centres, the conference promoted interaction between researchers, policy-makers, and Aboriginal peoples. It expanded knowledge of the social, economic, and demographic determinants of Aboriginal well-being, and sought to identify and facilitate the means by which this knowledge may be translated into effective policies.
The chapters in Volume IV address the themes of health, governance, and housing and homelessness.
