Incidence of flood has been on the increase in Ilorin for sometime; and this exemplifies the problem operating in most urban centres in Nigeria. Increase in runoff production in an urbanized catchment is a function, among other factors of to increase in percentage paved area brought about by deforestation activities and poor environmental attitude of the people. This study examines the relationship between runoff discharge and basin characteristics in Ilorin. Data used were collected directly from the field over a period of one calendar year. Rainfall data were collected in each basin using a standard rainguage of 20cm orifice while basin discharge was collected twice daily (8.00am and 6.30pm) using fabricated staff gauge graduated in centimeter. Basin morphometric attributes were compu...

The malaise of the taxi market in Winnipeg is a symptom of a much larger problem facing urban transportation in Canada. The Tennessee Transportation and Logistics Foundation (TTLF) report to the Manitoba Taxicab Board documents why the status quo is no longer acceptable. It presents some recommendations, but in terms of a comprehensive solution to the chronic complaints about taxi service in Winnipeg, the TTLF proposes only tinkering at the margins. The time has come for modernizing the regulation of urban transportation across Canada, and especially in Winnipeg. The TTLF report is very cautious for three reasons. First, it attempts to tweak a regulated taxi industry that has been found wanting. The artificial shortage of cabs inflates the value of the taxi licences and creates a season...
In order to understand Canada as a nation, one has to trace Britain's colonial history, the mapping of "Canada," and the making of it as a British nation, for as Jane M. Jacobs notes, space exists within the context of imperialism and is "formed out of the cohabitation of variously empowered people and the meanings they ascribed to localities and places" (Jacobs, 1996, p. 5). The Canadian nation has actively built a history that begins with discovery, as if it were a land of empty wilderness before British arrival. The colonial project was to create and solidify a "history of whiteness" in Canada in order to legitimize colonial rule. Nativist discourses were drawn on to create the idea of a native Anglo-Canadian people, and to "naturalize British ideas about law, the state and religion"...

THERE was another gang-related killing of a young aboriginal man in Winnipeg on Oct. 30. Elliot Flett of the Opaskwayak Cree Nation died a brutal death at the hands of rival gang members. He was stabbed 38 times, his throat was slit and a number was carved into his chest with a knife. This heinous crime shows the sheer brutality of Winnipeg's street gangs. Recently, the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs hired a consulting firm to study the problems affecting aboriginal people who have moved to the city. That the grand chief has to hire a consultant to understand the problems facing urban aboriginals is a huge problem, and it is time everyday native people vote for a grand chief who is knowledgeable about the problems they face and who will truly represent them. Currently, only the chiefs an...

I have examined more than 5,000 individual mature white, Norway and Colorado blue spruces in the last four years in the Winnipeg region. Until recently, not one of those trees revealed infestations of Ips bark beetles. Why is this worth mentioning now? Nearly all mature spruce trees -- hundreds of thousands of them in southern Manitoba -- are stressed. Ips bark beetles attack highly stressed mature spruce trees. The bark beetles I saw are spreading from tree to tree. They may spread very slowly or may not. This situation could be a concern for homeowners who have mature spruce trees. I intend to monitor the area of infestation. Apart from cutting down the infected trees and destroying the wood, there are no other feasible methods to control these beetles. That is my recommendation to th...

This interactive forum is about the root causes of addiction," said Jen Cressy, publicist for the theatre company. "So, basically we're using meth addictions as a starting point and a lens, if you will, through which to look at addiction in general. Through much research, Headlines has found that meth is currently a very serious problem. "It's reached into a lot of urban and rural areas very quickly," Cressy said." The best thing to do is to look at why people are predisposed to addiction and to really take aim and to be proactive about it. With this project, it's a look at how communities can actually have some kind of input to empower people and to look at the human dynamics that lead to addiction and create predispositions for addiction. So, this is really getting to the nitty grit...
People who come from Winnipeg say there's starting to be a racial divide," said Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa, who began the group 27 years ago in the Bronx. "It's ironic that (Winnipeg) brought the creator of zero-tolerance and quality of life initiatives that brought New York's crime rates down. But he's just the messenger. Now, you have to put some of these programs into effect," said Sliwa. "People in Winnipeg (said they) felt like they were having to suffer with a growing crime problem. "Obviously most of those injuries took place in deep urban areas of infested crime in the States, he said. "I don't anticipate facing anything of that nature in any of the urban centres in Canada, including Winnipeg."
