Soggie Michelle (delepine@uvic.ca) invites soggies:
Our beloved Juan de Fuca coast (from Sooke to Port Renfrew) is under attack. Shortsighted bylaws are threatening to turn much of the rural
landscape into unsustainable, suburban sprawl*. At the end of the month, members
of the Capital Regional District (CRD) will be voting on two
critical bylaws and we want to make sure they make the right choice.
Join us at the Centennial Square 3:00 on Sunday, November 15th to tell the CRD that
we want long-term, sustainable solutions. We've got an afternoon
filled with opportunities to share your vision for the future of our Wild Coast, and
voice your opinions to the CRD. But that's not all…
If you really want to make some waves, stay for the night! We're cooking up a huge
free dinner and then camping out on the CRD lawn to hand-deliver
everyone's messages the next morning.
Here are the details:
Sunday November 15th, at 3:00 pm (Sharp!)

You and all your friends are invited
Powerful, creative, student led action - the subject of a UVic film studies mini
documentary, and the opportunity to take action on a critical
local issue!
Not only do we want to see you there, but we're hoping you'll bring your tent, stay
for the night, and deliver messages with us the next morning
too. Without your help, some of the last natural areas on Vancouver Islands South
Coast will disappear. Come down and tell the CRD we won't
stand by and let them sacrifice our Wild Coast!

Mark and Brian were both UVic geography grad students some years ago:
Researchers study perceptions of saving coral reef ecosystems in Hawaii
University of Hawai i at M noa
Contact:
Charissa Minato, (808) 956-7479
Mark Needham, 541-737-1498
Posted: Nov. 5, 2009
An analysis done in Hawai‘i over several years by researchers from the University of
Hawai‘i at M noa and Oregon State University (OSU) found that most people visiting
the state’s coral reef ecosystems enjoy them and care deeply about them, and will
generally endorse whatever management is needed to protect them.
This is among the first studies to ever examine what tourists and recreationists
actually think about coral reef ecosystems in the islands. The survey suggests that
such coral reef ecosystems are so stunningly beautiful that almost everyone wants
them protected, making any potential controversies over human use versus
environmental conservation to be a rare exception. The core belief is often so
strong, in fact, that if it means visitors must be kept out to preserve them, so be it.
“It was really quite astonishing, almost shocking, how much people wanted this
resource protected for its own sake,” said Mark Needham, an assistant professor of
forest ecosystems and society at OSU and an adjunct professor of geography at UH
M noa. “Our surveys found overwhelmingly that people visiting coral reef areas did
not think that human use and access were the most important issues when it came
to these areas. And, if anything was to have a deleterious effect on reef ecosystems,
they would want it stopped.”
That attitude was also of interest, Needham said, because Hawai‘i’s coral reef
ecosystems-like at Hanauma Bay-are a major draw for the visitor industry.
Added Dr. Michael Hamnett, principal investigator with the Hawai‘i Coral Reef
Initiative, UH M noa Social Science Research Institute, “This excellent study
reinforces the conclusion of a previous study on the value of coral reef ecosystems.
There is widespread public concern about the future health of our coral reefs in
Hawai‘i, and there is public support for further protection by our resource
management agencies.”
The studies were supported by the Hawai‘i Coral Reef Initiative and State of Hawai‘i
Division of Aquatic Resources. Needham is now working with Brian Szuster, an
assistant professor of geography at UH M noa, to examine this topic in other areas of
the state and internationally.
The final reports from some of this research are available online at
http://www.hawaii.edu/ssri/hcri/research/needham.html.

---------------------Root Solutions Dialogue
Thursday, Nov. 12, 7PM
Michelle Pujol Room, SUB
Imagine the strategies of a movement that collaborates to overcome the root causes
of environmental destruction and social inequity. We call these root solutions.
Does it feel like the movement's solutions don't match the problems? Does it feel
like the movement's strategies are not changing social and political realities fast
enough to change the physical realities? With denialism on the one side and
doomerism on the other we need to break through to strategies that will cure the
disease instead of treating the symptoms, and we need to energize people for
practical and transformative changes.
This is the second part of Common Energy's Imagine Radical Innovation Dialogue
Series, and is co-hosted by the Sierra Club of BC.
This dialogue will include quick presentations to frame up the challenges and
opportunities from the following:
1. James Rowe, Environmental Studies Instructor - Solar economy
2. Colin Campbell, Scientist for the Sierra Club of BC - Disconnect between climate
science and solutions
3. Tria Donaldson, Project Manager for goBeyond - Environmental justice
4. Jamie Biggar, Co-Founder of Common Energy and Chair of the Sierra Club of BC's
Executive Committee - Political economy of climate change
The presentations will be follwed by a collaborative dialogue to explore the root
causes of environmental destruction and social inequity with a focus on begining to
develop strategies for action. We are committed to making this session empowering,
practical and results-focused.
Root Solutions Dialogue Thursday, Nov. 12, 7PM
Michelle Pujol Room, Student Union Building
We've set up a facebook group for the series to extend the dialogue outside of the
events http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/group.php?gid=185636188754

Find out about the science, policies, and politics surrounding the most important
global summit of the 21st century, the United Nations Conference on Climate Change
in Copenhagen from December 7 to 18, 2009.
Climate change is the #1 threat to our planet, killing our forests, acidifying our
oceans, intensifying storms, diminishing food supplies, threatening mass
extinctions, and becoming a driver of resource scarcity, massive dislocation of
populations, and wars.
Copenhagen presents the most crucial opportunity at a pivotal time in the planet’s
future to create a successor treaty to the Kyoto Accord to move the planet towards a
solution before runaway global warming takes effect.
YOUR participation at this event will help to ensure that the Canadian government is
forced to become a climate leader, not an international laggard and obstructionist.
Organized by the Green Climate Committee
If you are able to volunteer to make this event a success, please contact us. The
Green Climate Committee is a climate working group of the Green Party of Canada in
the Capital Regional District that is open to the participation of the wider
community and non-party members who support the campaign for strong targets
and want real climate leadership by the Canadian government. Currently volunteers
are needed to help postering, phoning supporters, giving out handbills, and helping
on the day of the event. Contact Ken Wu at greenclimatecommittee@gmail.com to
get involved.

GRAD STUDIES OPPORTUNITIES
PhD Research Opportunity in Human/Social Geography
Built Environments and Aging Canada’s Major Prairie Cities
An opportunity is available for PhD students to join our research team
investigating built environments and aging. Over the next 20-40 years,
Canada’s baby boomers will age and are expected to do so in suburban
environments. The purpose of this research programme is to engage
multi-sectoral and multi-disciplinary personnel in the geographies of
aging in the suburban areas of Canada’s major prairie cities. As some of
the least-dense and fastest-growing regions of the country, prairie cities
will be faced with the ‘wicked problem’ of low population density,
increasing service demands of older adults, and the challenges of long,
cold winters. Potential solutions to these challenges can only be met
through collaboration and integrated problem-solving across sectors and
disciplines, and by bridging the research-practice divide. We are looking
for active, independent and enthusiastic students interested in joining
our rapidly-growing research team.
Qualified students should:
·
hold a master’s degree with a first-class (A-) academic standing
in geography, gerontology, public health, or another relevant discipline
·
have experience working with communities and partner
organizations and collecting data at the community level (qualitative
and/or quantitative)
·
be an independent worker with excellent organizational and
communication skills
·
have a keen interest in engaging with older adults, community
partners and policymakers
