Quesnel, BC's campus, built to LEED silver, opened on January 26, 2006. The campus named, "North Cariboo Community Campus" is shared by the University of Northern British Columbia and the College of New Caledonia. The report focuses much of its analysis on building operations, and with good reason. Although embodied energy, material selection, construction, and demolition are important in a life cycle approach to buildings, the largest environmental impacts are a result of the operation of buildings. Operations account for approximately 85 percent of the lifetime energy in commercial buildings, but are simultaneously affected by the one-time capital choices made during design and construction. SDTC understands the critical importance of a full lifecyde approach, and incorporates the ent...

While a variety of intersecting interests connected to create a common theme of disapproval for the Buy America policy being discussed by Prime Minister Harper and President Obama, the comments by [Stephen Cottle] (above) stood out for a number of reasons. I recently learned that the CanCon legislation, which came into force on January 18, 1971, requires that at least 25 percent of all music played on AM radio stations will be dedicated to Canadian content. The CanCon regulation stipulated that at least part of the required content be "written, produced, presented, or otherwise contributed to by persons from Canada." Prior to its introduction, the Canadian music industry "was regarded with indifference" by Canadian stations, thus it is safe to say that CanCon paved the way for an indust...

Many social inequality studies in modern societies take an individualistic approach. They analyse men and women as individuals and neglect marriage patterns and familial relationships. This often implies that men and women are all alike, that there are no important differences within households, and that employment chances and risks within the family are based on gender-free considerations. This article draws on the empirical results of several international comparative research projects to examine the impact of changes in union formation, the division of labour in couples and rising uncertainty in male breadwinner incomes on the development of social inequality between families in modern societies. The empirical findings support the view that such inequalities have grown significantly ...

Reduced to its essence, LEED is a building certification process. It defines what is "green" by providing a common framework or language, and verifies actual performance through benchmarking and measurement. It is tied to five key areas: human and environmental health; sustainable site development; water savings; energy efficiency; materials selection; and indoor environmental quality. The LEED rating system has been designed to provide the building industry with consistent, credible standards for what constitutes a green building. The first step to LEED certification is to register a building project. To earn certification, a building project must meet certain prerequisites and performance benchmarks (credits) within each category. Projects are awarded certified, silver, gold, or plati...

For each of the three data sets, measures of household-level economic activity are derived by aggregating the primary and secondary economic activities of individual household members. Household economic activity (E..f EnJ is measured in three separate ways in our analyses: 1) whether any member of the household is engaged in wage employment, or not; 2) whether any member operates a household-based business, or not; and, 3) whether individually or collectively, household members are engaged in multiple activities that span diverse economic sectors, or not. We categorize each resident household member's occupation (e.g., agricultural versus non-agricultural sector) and employment context (e.g., household sector, wage sector) and then aggregate these activities to arrive at a classificati...
