The Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) have awarded an Insight Grant to Dr. Sean Weibe, Professor of Education at the 秀色短视频. Dr. Wiebe鈥檚 project is titled 鈥淩econceptualizing Teachers鈥� Roles for Canada鈥檚 Creative Economy,鈥� and is the recipient of more than $275,000 from SSHRC.

Dr. Weibe鈥檚 previous research has demonstrated that education is mired in a language of skills-training that does not engage students鈥� creative and critical capacities. Rather than training students with obsolete skills for the boom and bust of economic shocks, Dr. Wiebe proposes that students be prepared for a new economy fuelled by creativity.

鈥淓conomists widely agree that human creativity drives innovation, and that process begins in schools,鈥� said Dr. Sean Wiebe. 鈥淚n some schools, there are teachers and students who contribute to the creative economy through blogs, YouTube channels, art installations, and so on. But these contributions are the exception.鈥�

Dr. Wiebe鈥檚 project intends to address this problem by supporting innovation within school communities. At test schools, teachers will be trained as artist/researchers and encouraged to experiment with pedagogical practices and design thinking.

鈥淒r. Weibe's approach to promoting creativity in education will help to prepare students and teachers for the economy of the future, said Dr. Robert Gilmour, Vice-President Academic and Research at 秀色短视频. 鈥淪tudents trained to think outside of traditional boundaries are more likely to appreciate and embrace the innovations of tomorrow and to generate innovations themselves.鈥�

The goal of the program from SSHRC is to build knowledge and understanding about people, societies, and the world by supporting research excellence in all subject areas eligible for funding from SSHRC.

The 秀色短视频 prides itself on people, excellence, and impact and is committed to assisting students reach their full potential in both the classroom and community. With roots stemming from two founding institutions鈥擯rince of Wales College and Saint Dunstan鈥檚 University鈥斝闵�短视频 has a reputation for academic excellence, research innovation, and creating positive impacts locally, nationally, and internationally. 秀色短视频 is the only degree granting institution in the province and is proud to be a key contributor to the growth and prosperity of Prince Edward Island.

Every week, 秀色短视频 Athletics and Recreation recognizes two student-athletes for their hard work and dedication to their respective sports. Congratulations to Jane McLaughlin (Women鈥檚 Basketball) and Marcus Power (Men鈥檚 Hockey), the 秀色短视频 Panther Subway Athletes of the week for November 14-20!

Jane McLaughlin is a third-year forward on the 秀色短视频 Women鈥檚 Basketball team. She is a Bachelor of Nursing Student from Fortune, PEI. She led the Panther鈥檚 offence this weekend over two games, averaging eleven points, six rebounds, and three assists. 鈥淛ane had an outstanding weekend,鈥� said coach Greg Gould. 鈥淪he led the offence and was equally outstanding defensively shutting down much taller and bigger post players.鈥�

Marcus Power is a third-year forward on the 秀色短视频 Men's Hockey team, and a Business student from St. John鈥檚 Newfoundland. The Panthers dropped two games over the weekend, but Power scored two goals. 鈥淢arcus battled some early injuries in the season,鈥� said coach Forbes MacPherson. 鈥淗e has been working more consistently and has been rewarded this week with a couple goals. For our team to have success, Marcus will have to have the same effort every night.鈥�

鈥淲e are looking forward to hosting both Mt. A and Dal and to finish strong on their final weekend of play for the first half of the season,鈥� said coach Bruce Donaldson. 鈥淲e have told our players each and every day, 鈥榙on't be confused over other team鈥檚 records. Both are two very good hockey teams that work exceptionally hard. If you don't come physically and mentally prepared to play, you will be disappointed in the outcome.鈥� Our players need to remember the goals that they established for the first term, we are within reach but have lots of work to do in getting ready for the weekend. We have worked too hard not to play our very best hockey.鈥�

Panther Basketball will hold its Shoot for the Cure fundraiser on Saturday evening. Both the men鈥檚 and women鈥檚 teams play Memorial University. The women鈥檚 game begins at 6 pm.

鈥淭he Panthers are looking to rebound from four road losses when they host the Memorial Sea Hawks this Saturday and Sunday,鈥� said women鈥檚 coach Greg Gould. 鈥淚t should be a great weekend of basketball. We鈥檙e especially looking forward to the annual Shoot for the Cure game on Saturday, when Kiera Rigby will be getting her hair cut to donate to the local branch of the Canadian Cancer Society.鈥�

鈥淢emorial is coming in at 5-1 and in first place overall in our league,鈥� said Tim Kendrick, coach of the 秀色短视频 Men鈥檚 Basketball team. 鈥淚t鈥檚 no secret that we have been struggling at both ends of the court. Our players understand that we need to improve if we want to beat such a good team. We will have to certainly play well and execute more efficiently if we hope to be successful!鈥�

Environmental Studies students from Dr. Carolyn Peach Brown鈥檚 Introduction to Environmental Studies class got a hands-on lesson this fall in restoring damaged ecosystems. In partnership with Parks Canada, the students planted 400 trees to help restore the Acadian forest on Robinson鈥檚 Island. The planting of native tree species鈥攕uch as sugar maple, yellow birch, eastern white pine, and hemlock鈥攊s part of Parks Canada鈥檚 efforts to restore the forest of PEI National Park to a more natural state. Environmental Studies students also joined Parks Canada staff in planting plugs of marram grass at Brackley Beach. These plantings help to restore the sand dunes, as the roots and rhizomes form a living net which will help hold the dunes in place.

Such experiential learning opportunities are important for students, as it helps to make connections from the classroom to real life. According to Dr. Peach Brown, 鈥渟ometimes when studying the environment, we can get discouraged by some of the negatives, and so it is great to get out there and do something positive to help the environment. Students can come back in future years to see how the trees they planted have grown or how the sand dunes have been protected. The students also benefit from the knowledge of Parks Canada staff who explained the history of the Park and the ecological aspects of the restoration efforts.鈥�

Parks Canada and 秀色短视频 became official partners in 2015. The tree- and marram grass-plantings are some of many projects 秀色短视频 students have been involved in.

Panther Basketball will hold its annual Shoot for the Cure fundraiser on Saturday evening when both the women鈥檚 and men鈥檚 teams play the Memorial University Sea-Hawks at the 秀色短视频 Chi-Wan Young Sports Centre.

The women鈥檚 game begins at 6 pm with a Shoot for the Cure ceremonial tip-off featuring breast cancer survivor Loretta Coady MacAulay.

鈥淭he 秀色短视频 Women鈥檚 Basketball team is honoured to have Loretta Coady MacAulay participate in the ceremonial tip-off,鈥� said team captain and Shoot for the Cure organizer Kiera Rigby. 鈥淪he is an inspiration to us all and embodies the meaning of 鈥榗ancer survivor鈥�.鈥�

MacAulay is currently undergoing chemotherapy treatment for stage 3a breast cancer after being diagnosed and undergoing a mastectomy in September. What makes the 48-year-old Charlottetown lawyer鈥檚 story remarkable is that she only went for a mammogram after her 85-year-old mother had been diagnosed with stage 4-breast cancer in April 2016. Sadly, Mrs. Coady passed away on October 31st as her breast cancer was very aggressive and more advanced, and because of other health issues, wasn鈥檛 a candidate for treatment. 

鈥淚 really feel that my mother saved my life, because, but for her unfortunate diagnosis, I wouldn't have gone for a routine mammogram before I was 50 because I had no symptoms or genetic family history,鈥� said MacAulay. 鈥淚 decided early on that I intend to be a survivor鈥擨'm not really giving myself any other option and have surrounded myself with a lot of positive people.鈥�

Shoot for the Cure fundraising activities during the game include a t-shirt and bake sale. Rigby will also be having her hair cut during the men鈥檚 game at halftime to donate to the Pantene Beautiful Lengths campaign that makes wigs for women who have lost their hair as a result of cancer treatment.

Due to the Charlottetown Christmas Parade on Saturday evening, fans attending the Women's Hockey game at 3 pm and Women's Basketball game at 6 pm are reminded to access campus from the Belvedere Avenue entrance.

Dr. Hugh Whitney, retired chief veterinary officer for Newfoundland and Labrador, was recently honoured by the Atlantic Veterinary College (AVC) with its 2015 Atlantic Award of Excellence in Veterinary Medicine and Animal Care.

Established in 2005, the award recognizes veterinarians for significant and outstanding contributions to veterinary medicine and animal care in Atlantic Canada. Dr. Greg Keefe, dean of AVC, presented Dr. Whitney with the award on November 5 at the Newfoundland and Labrador Veterinary Medical Association鈥檚 annual meeting and gala.

Dr. Whitney was nominated by Dr. Erin Ramsay (AVC Class of 2011), regional veterinarian in the Newfoundland and Labrador Animal Health Division, and Dr. Maggie Brown-Bury, president of the Newfoundland and Labrador Veterinary Medical Association.

Dr. Whitney served as CVO and director of the Animal Health Division for Newfoundland and Labrador from 1985 until he retired in 2015. As CVO, he greatly expanded the Animal Health Division and the role it plays in the community. He spearheaded projects that promote the importance of animal health and the veterinary profession in the eyes of the community. He was twice engaged in the eradication of terrestrial rabies from the Island of Newfoundland, most recently leading the successful eradication program that lasted from 2002-04.

A leading authority on animal health and related public health issues in Newfoundland and Labrador, he played an integral role in the development of progressive provincial legislation banning cosmetic surgeries, and regulation of non-veterinary antimicrobial sales, under the recently revised Animal Health and Protection Act for the province. And he spearheaded the creation of the province鈥檚 new Animal Hero Award, with colleague Lynn Cadigan, which recognizes the positive aspects, and importance, of the relationship between people and animals.

Dr. Whitney鈥檚 contributions go beyond his role as CVO. Over the years, he has been involved in the education of veterinary students, graduate students, and veterinarians in Atlantic Canada. An adjunct professor at MUN, he is well respected by his graduate students and faculty, as well as by people in government, his fellow veterinarians, and the community at large.

He has developed a special relationship with the people of Labrador, working with band leaders and town councils on many projects, and visiting schools to talk to children about rabies. He is contributing to a series of books, The Adventures of Uapikun, written for Labrador鈥檚 Innu school system. Uapikun Learns About Rabies has been published in English, French, and the Innu-aimun dialects of Sheshatshiu and Mushuau. It has also been adapted for the Inuit population of Labrador. He is currently working on a book about dog safety, Uapikun Has A Question, which will be published in English, French, and the two Innu-aimun dialects, and distributed across Canada.

He is dedicated to the advancement of the veterinary profession, serving on provincial Atlantic, and federal committees and task forces, and on professional organizations at the provincial and national levels.
 

Every week, 秀色短视频 Athletics and Recreation recognizes two student-athletes for their hard work and dedication to their respective sports. Congratulations to Emma Martin (Women鈥檚 Hockey) and Milorad Sedlarevic (Men鈥檚 Basketball), the 秀色短视频 Panther Subway Athletes of the week for November 21-27!

Emma Martin is a fourth-year Kinesiology student from Winsloe, PEI. Martin plays defence on the 秀色短视频 Women鈥檚 Hockey team and recorded three assists in two games over the weekend.

Milorad Sedlarevic is a third-year forward on the Men鈥檚 Basketball team and a Business student from Jesenice, Slovenia. The Panthers split a pair of games with Memorial University over the weekend. Over two games, Sedlarevic racked up 37 points, 17 rebounds, five blocks, and four assists. 鈥淢ilorad played up to his potential this weekend, especially in Sunday's win,鈥� said coach Tim Kendrick. 鈥淲e feel that he is only going to get better and better as he moves forward in his career here at 秀色短视频.鈥�

It鈥檚 bound to happen at least once every winter, and this year it鈥檚 already happened once this week, PEI gets walloped with a storm, leaving students, faculty, and staff wondering if they need to come to campus or not.

Given 秀色短视频鈥檚 size and scope, the decision to close is not made lightly. However, in weather situations where the potential risk to 秀色短视频鈥檚 students and employees, as well as property, are high, the University may 鈥渃lose*,鈥� meaning classes and exams are cancelled and services are reduced.

How will I know if 秀色短视频 is closed?

The University has a number of different channels to communicate storm closures. These include:

鈥� A message on the home page of upei.ca
鈥� An email to all students, faculty and staff to their upei.ca email account
鈥� Updates from the University鈥檚 Twitter account, @秀色短视频
鈥� Media outlets (radio, TV, news websites) are informed and encouraged to share our status
鈥� A message is placed on the 秀色短视频 Campus Closure and Alert Phone Line (902-894-2882)
鈥� A message is placed on the 秀色短视频 Campus Screen network (there are screens in several buildings across campus).

For more information, email communications@upei.ca.

Winter Parking Restrictions

Also, please note that from November 1 to April 30, winter restrictions on overnight campus parking will be enforced. Parking Lot "A" is the only lot where overnight parking is permitted for the winter season. Residents of Andrew Hall and Bernardine Hall may park overnight in the Andrew Hall lot provided that their vehicles are moved to Lot "A" during storm conditions and until the lots have been plowed after a storm.

If vehicles are left in any parking lot other than Lot "A" during snow storms or before snow removal is complete, the vehicle will be towed at the owner's expense. Facilities Management appreciates your co-operation to ensure parking lots are cleared safely. If you have any questions or concerns regarding winter parking please contact Mark Pharand, Manager, Security Services, at mpharand@upei.ca.

*Technically, 秀色短视频 is only truly closed in extreme circumstances, as there are essential personnel that need to work on campus and we have students living in residence. However, the University will use the word 鈥渃losed鈥� to communicate to the campus community that classes and most services are suspended.
 

AVC鈥檚 first annual Client Appreciation Reception, held earlier this month, was a resounding success! About 85 clients of the College鈥檚 Veterinary Teaching Hospital (VTH) attended as well as AVC faculty, staff, and students.

The reception was jointly organized by the 秀色短视频 Department of Development and Alumni Engagement and the AVC Dean鈥檚 Office, with support from the VTH and Donna Hassard, a long-time client and vice-chair of the veterinary medicine priority in 秀色短视频鈥檚 current INSPIRE! fundraising campaign.

The clients enjoyed 鈥渂ehind the scenes鈥� tours of the VTH provided by veterinary students, meeting each other, and chatting with clinicians, staff, and students.

Donna Hassard spoke about her experiences as a client at the VTH and supporter of AVC. Donna and her husband, Richard, became clients in 2004 when they moved to PEI with their two Cavalier King Charles spaniels, Ozzie and Zo毛. She thanked the VTH staff for the love, care, and compassion they gave to Ozzie and Zo毛 and now to their current dogs, Tully and Digby.

She stressed the important role that clients play in the education of veterinary students by allowing them to work with their animals. Donna and her dogs volunteer in the cardiology and communications sections of the students鈥� learning program and at AVC鈥檚 annual summer vet camp.

鈥淚 am very proud to be a small part of AVC and the Veterinary Teaching Hospital,鈥� said Donna, thanking those present for their support of the College. 鈥淵ou [clients] can be very proud of all you do to help this wonderful institution maintain its excellent reputation.鈥�

The evening also included a special presentation by Kirsten, Sophie, and Lexi Gallant, children of Chris and Dawn Gallant, of Mermaid, PEI. In lieu of birthday gifts this year, they collected over $300 in donations for AVC from their classmates at Glen Stewart Primary School and Stratford Elementary School in appreciation for the care their dogs, Molly and Macy, have received at the VTH over the past 13 years.

The event concluded with a ceremony to open the Donna and Richard Hassard Student Lounge, named in recognition of the long-standing commitment they have had to the College.
