Woman Who Mapped Labrador
The definitive Hubbard, combining her previously unpublished diary, a full biography, and new maps that break down her daring canoe trip day by day.
The Labradorians
Explorer Jacques Cartier dismissed it as the land God gave to Cain, but generations of people from widely differing cultures living in dense wilderness conditions have forged the people of Labrador into a thriving, vital culture of their own. Here are their stories in their own voices, written by the expert hand of a person whose heart's home is Labrador.
Heritage Language Programs in Canadian School Boards
The report, based on a survey of 120 schools boards across Canada, begins with an overview of provincial legislation, regulations, policy, and funding for heritage language instruction. A province-by-province look at local school board programs examines scheduling, teacher certification, professional development, community involvement, transportation, cultural components, and pupil, teacher and parent satisfaction with the programs. An outline of teacher training in heritage languages is included, as are sample policies and curriculum guidelines received from the boards polled.
How School Boards Give Recognition to Staff
In October 1987, the Canadian Education Association sent out 224 questionnaires to find out how school boards give recognition to staff and how they foster a climate which enhances human relations within the school system. A total of 103 school boards responded to the survey. This report is based on the 103 surveys received. It discusses recognizing long service and retiring employees, fostering a climate that enhances human relations and staff morale, and measures under consideration. It also contains a list of school boards participating in the survey.
Teacher Recruitment and Retention
This report describes the current state of school board recruiting and retention practices in a sample of school boards. It provides tips to help boards tackle the issue of finding and keeping good teachers now and in the near future.
The Story of Labrador
Newfoundland and Labrador are like two uneasy stepsisters, each with its own distinct identity, trying to share a common house. Using original research, including personal interviews, and drawing on his forty-year association with Labrador, Bill Rompkey explores this relationship in the context of the region's unique racial, geographical, political, and social history. Rompkey charts the rise of Labrador as a giant in Canada's near north. He looks at the impact of the region's vast natural resources, which includes the recently discovered nickel mine at Voisey's Bay, the largest in the world, and Ramah chert, a choice stone the Aboriginals traded thousands of years ago. The Story of Labrador is also the story of Innuit caribou hunters and people of the seal, French fishermen and Basque whalers, settlers, traders, and absentee governors. It is the story of great Canadian construction projects like the Quebec North Shore and Labrador Railway, the rich iron ore operations at Labrador City and Wabush, and Chuchill Fall, which was the largest hydro project in the world when it was created.
Songs of Labrador
The people of Labrador have always sung and invented songs to explain, overcome or laugh about life. For this collection, Tim Borlase has gathered more than 130 songs that reflect the history and the culture of the people who live in this remote peninsula between the Gulf of St. Lawrence and Ungava Bay. Singing and composing songs have been at the heart of human experience for hundreds of years. In the harsh Labrador environment, where mere survival is a constant preoccupation, the making of music has always been of crucial importance. This volume includes songs written in Inuktitut, Innu-Amin, English and French, offering an intimate glimpse into the life of the people of Labrador.
Student Transportation in Canada
This report results from a survey of student transportation in Canada, including criteria for bussing students, costs, grants, and certain safety aspects. The report begins with an overview of the student transportation policies and practices at Canadian school boards, examining topics covered in the survey questionnaire as well as other aspects of conveyance that are of concern today. Information is included on numbers of vehicles and students transported, types of vehicles used, and transportation administration. The report then reviews school transportation legislation and policies by province. The main section of the report provides transportation data and policy information for the school boards that responded to the survey.
Rural Voices
In this interdisciplinary volume, sociolinguists and sociologists explore the intersections of language, culture, and identity for rural populations around the world. Challenging stereotypical views of rural backwardness and urban progress, the contributors reveal how language is a key mechanism for constructing the meaning of places and the people who identify with them. With research that spans numerous countries and several continents, the chapters in this volume add broadly to knowledge about status and prestige, authenticity and belonging, rural-urban relations, and innovation and change among rural peoples and in rural communities across the globe.
Negotiating the Deal
This book provides the first systematic and comprehensive analysis of the factors that explain both completed and incomplete treaty negotiations between Aboriginal groups and the federal, provincial, and territorial governments of Canada. Since 1973, groups that have never signed treaties with the Crown have been invited to negotiate what the government calls “comprehensive land claims agreements,” otherwise known as modern treaties, which formally transfer jurisdiction, ownership, and title over selected lands to Aboriginal signatories. Despite their importance, not all groups have completed such agreements – a situation that is problematic not only for governments but for Aboriginal ...
