Letters From Mapoon: Colonising Aboriginal Gender, Regina Ganter Jan 1999

Letters From Mapoon: Colonising Aboriginal Gender, Regina Ganter

Aboriginal Policy Research Consortium International (APRCi)

Much information on traditional indigenous society in Australian historiography and anthropology stems from the vast store of eyewitness accounts left by missionaries, settlers and government officials. How cautious does one need to be in using such material? After all that it reveals about the moral and legal universe of its writers, can it speak reliably about traditional society? This article traces the production of knowledge about indigenous gender relations at Cape York Peninsula through a lineage of sources from the 1890s to the 1990s and concludes that unless the assumptions embedded in the primary sources are clearly identified, the discourse …

Functionally Dissociating Aspects Of Event Memory: The Effects Of Combined Perirhinal And Postrhinal Cortex Lesions On Object And Place Memory In The Rat., T J Bussey, J L Muir, J P Aggleton Jan 1999

Functionally Dissociating Aspects Of Event Memory: The Effects Of Combined Perirhinal And Postrhinal Cortex Lesions On Object And Place Memory In The Rat., T J Bussey, J L Muir, J P Aggleton

Brain and Mind Institute Researchers' Publications

Reciprocal interactions between the hippocampus and the perirhinal and parahippocampal cortices form core components of a proposed temporal lobe memory system. For this reason, the involvement of the hippocampus in event memory is thought to depend on its connections with these cortical areas. Contrary to these predictions, we found that NMDA-induced lesions of the putative rat homologs of these cortical areas (perirhinal plus postrhinal cortices) did not impair performance on two allocentric spatial tasks highly sensitive to hippocampal dysfunction. Remarkably, for one of the tasks there was evidence of a facilitation of performance. The same cortical lesions did, however, disrupt …

Intermunicipal Agreements: Case Studies In Durham And York Regions, Rebecca James Aug 1998

Intermunicipal Agreements: Case Studies In Durham And York Regions, Rebecca James

MPA Major Research Papers

This paper examines the extent and nature of intermunicipal partnerships in Durham Region and York Region based on an inventory of public partnerships in the two regions and case studies of five intermunicipal agreements. The findings reveal that if municipalities form public partnerships in certain service areas, cost savings can be achieved while still maintaining individual municipal control and accountability.


When Is Bigger Not Better?: The Management And Delivery Of Social Services On Manitoulin Island, Mary Nelder Aug 1998

When Is Bigger Not Better?: The Management And Delivery Of Social Services On Manitoulin Island, Mary Nelder

MPA Major Research Papers

This paper examines whether the Ontario government’s creation of District Social Services Administration Boards (DSSABs) has accomplished the stated objectives of simplifying access to services and better servicing clients, as well as improving cost-effectiveness, coordination, innovation, the sharing of resources, and achieving economies of scale. A case study of Manitoulin-Sudbury reveals that the DSSAB for the two combined districts has been unsatisfactory and none of the stated objectives of the policy have been achieved.


Why A Strategic Plan?: A Review Of Strategic Planning In Selected Ontario Municipalities, Moira Winch Aug 1998

Why A Strategic Plan?: A Review Of Strategic Planning In Selected Ontario Municipalities, Moira Winch

MPA Major Research Papers

This paper examines whether strategic planning processes successfully assist municipal councils and staff in Ontario based on case studies of 11 municipalities in Ottawa-Carleton and the City of Burlington. The findings reveal that in many instances, strategic planning is being used successfully and the most important factor that contributes to its success is the leadership and commitment of council to the initiation and implementation of the plan.

Development Of A Model For User Fees: A Model On Policy Development In Creating And Maintaining User Fees For Municipalities, Jim Mcqueen

MPA Major Research Papers

This paper examines the relevance and significance of user fees in Ontario based on case studies that assess user fee policies in four municipalities in the Halton Region – Burlington, Halton Hills, Milton, and Oakville. The findings reveal that user fees have become a more prominent revenue source and they are an important component of a municipality’s revenue base.


The Birth Of The Cape Breton Regional Municipality, Richard Ramsay Jun 1998

The Birth Of The Cape Breton Regional Municipality, Richard Ramsay

MPA Major Research Papers

This paper examines whether the causes of amalgamation in Cape Breton County are similar to the causes that have driven other amalgamations in the Maritime Provinces. Interviews with key stakeholders and an analysis of reports associated with the amalgamation were conducted. The findings reveal that Cape Breton County is a unique case and the Government of Nova Scotia decided to amalgamate because it recognized the dismal financial position of several of the municipal units.
