AVC is embarking on an exciting project that will celebrate its long-standing relationship with the Canadian Wildlife Health Cooperative and recognize the remarkable career of renowned wildlife pathologist Dr. Pierre-Yves Daoust, Professor Emeritus, who retired from AVC in 2018.

We plan to have a fully articulated minke whale skeleton installed in The McCain Foundation Learning Commons. The installation will be complemented by artwork with an Indigenous theme, paying tribute to the deep cultural and spiritual connection between Canada鈥檚 Indigenous people and the animals that live in the marine environment.

Artists with an Indigenous background who are interested in submitting a proposal for the art installation should contact Janice MacWilliam, special events coordinator at AVC, at jmacwilliam@upei.ca or (902) 566-0589, by the end of September.

Our goal is to raise a minimum of $25,000 by December 31, 2018, to have the skeleton and the artwork completed and installed in The McCain Foundation Learning Commons. To support this project, please click . Your contribution is greatly appreciated.

The Atlantic Veterinary College鈥檚 2018 Animal Welfare in Practice conference shines a spotlight on the timely topic of whale stranding. The conference will take place at 秀色短视频 and AVC from September 14 to 15.

Keynote speaker Dr. Michael Moore, Director, Marine Mammal Center at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Cape Cod, will give a public lecture called 鈥淔ood for Thought: How we all kill whales鈥� on Friday, September 14, at 7 p.m., in the Alex H. MacKinnon Auditorium, Don and Marion McDougall Hall, 秀色短视频.

Human activity in the marine environment is increasingly having an impact on cetaceans鈥攚hales, dolphins, and porpoises鈥攕ometimes resulting in the unintentional entanglement and death of animals. Dr. Moore will discuss these pressing issues, which concern Canada and other nations that have substantial fishing and shipping industries in marine environments.

There is no charge to attend Dr. Moore鈥檚 lecture. All are welcome to attend.

All presentations on Saturday, September 15, will take place at AVC. Registration is required for these presentations, which are open to veterinarians, veterinary students, animal health technicians, and people involved in marine mammal rescue organizations.

On Saturday, Drs. Pierre-Yves Daoust and Art Ortenburger, Atlantic Veterinary College, will give a session about clinical management of live cetaceans on the beach. Tonya Wimmer, Marine Animal Response Society, will speak about the complexities and logistics of dealing with live cetaceans.

Dr. Moore will give two presentations on the Saturday, one on relatively new information on sedation of whales at sea to enhance disentanglement operations, and the other on trauma in cetaceans caused by human activity, and diagnosis of, and solutions to, this problem.

The conference wraps up with a staged stranded whale response workshop in the AVC Large Animal Hospital arena, using an inflatable whale. Blue tarps will be used to simulate the sea, while the sand in the arena will be the shore.

The Animal Welfare in Practice conference is co-hosted by the Sir James Dunn Animal Welfare Centre and the AVC Animal Welfare, Exotics, Lab Animal and Wildlife, and Aquatics Clubs, with support from the Animal Welfare Foundation of Canada.

秀色短视频鈥檚 Institute of Island Studies and the UNESCO Chair in Island Studies and Sustainability hosted a weekend of meetings with representatives and researchers from a dozen islands around the world. This unprecedented gathering of scholars in the field of Island Studies is made possible by a partnership development grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC). The project will build relationships between researchers and will fund up to twelve graduate students.

鈥淭he Institute of Island Studies and the UNESCO Chairs in Island Studies and Sustainability are to be commended for organizing this very important initiative, which will bring together representatives of small island states to develop strategies to address their unique issues regarding sustainability and sovereignty,鈥� said Dr. Robert Gilmour, 秀色短视频鈥檚 Vice-President Academic and Research.

Island jurisdictions are often viewed as vulnerable, poverty-stricken, and destitute, but research shows many of these islands are better described as innovative and entrepreneurial. This meeting brought together six representatives of small island states (Iceland, New Zealand, Mauritius, Palau, Cyprus, St. Lucia, and Grenada) and six representatives from non-sovereign, sub-national island jurisdictions (Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland, La R茅union, Lesbos, Guam, and Tobago). These groups will compare experiences, to see whether statehood is a boon or hindrance when implementing sustainable practices in social-political, cultural-artistic, economic, and environmental areas.

鈥淭ake an island鈥檚 ability to respond to a natural crisis, such as a hurricane,鈥� said Dr. James Randall, co-holder of the UNESCO Chair in Island Studies and Sustainability. 鈥淚f that island is a sub-national jurisdiction, is it a benefit to know the larger government will be there to help them respond, or will an independent island state be better equipped to determine what is needed and implement that plan.鈥�

The project will develop a set of measures of sustainability and sovereignty by undertaking household and focus group surveys using comparisons of six pairs of islands. The Institute of Island Studies and the UNESCO Chair in Island Studies and Sustainability will coordinate these activities, bringing together island researchers and solving issues using a local-to-global integrated approach.

The Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) is the federal research funding agency that promotes and supports postsecondary-based research and research training in the humanities and social sciences. By focusing on developing , generating  and forging  across campuses and communities, SSHRC strategically supports world-leading initiatives that reflect a commitment to ensuring a better future for Canada and the world.

Several members of 秀色短视频鈥檚 Department of English will be on hand to help celebrate Canadian poet, novelist, and essayist David Helwig. 鈥淎n Evening with David Helwig鈥� will be held Tuesday, September 25 at 7:30 pm in the Carriage House of Beaconsfield Historic House on the Charlottetown waterfront. The event is hosted by PEI鈥檚 Poet Laureate, Deirdre Kessler, and the Bookmark.

To date, David Helwig has published close to fifty books and edited numerous others. He has written for television and radio, worked at the CBC, taught at Queen鈥檚 University, been Poet Laureate of Prince Edward Island, and named to the Order of Canada. Yet, he remains little known.

David Helwig: Essays on His Works is the first book to gather new essays, an interview, and earlier material鈥攂y George Fetherling, Douglas Glover, D.G. Jones, Simon Lloyd, Tom Marshall, Rob McLennan, Shane Neilson, Ingrid Ruthig, Mark Sampson, and Lorraine M. York鈥攊n order to introduce and explore Helwig鈥檚 body of work while documenting the broad range of his literary talents and accomplishments.

The editor of this edition, Ingrid Ruthig, writer, poet, visual artist, said, 鈥淲ithin any literary community, there are those writers who simply go about the business of writing鈥攄iligent, dedicated, building a body of work without fanfare. They seem disinclined to court chatter and celebrity, to inflate image and ego, or to stake out a place centre-stage. David Helwig is one of those unassuming craftsmen. Since he first aspired to it more than six decades ago, he has been living the life of a writer.鈥�

秀色短视频鈥檚 Richard Lemm, Lee Ellen Pottie, and Deirdre Kessler, along with 20 Island poets and writers, will present an evening to celebrate David Helwig and his remarkable literary accomplishments. This event is free, and the public is encouraged to attend and meet a Prince Edward Island literary giant.
