Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages
(Adapted from Introduction)

In 1867, English and French were declared the languages that could be used in any court of Canada established under the Constitution Act, and any court of Quebec as well as in debates held in the Parliament of Canada. The Official Languages Act of 1969, established the equal status of English and French throughout the federal administration. Its main purpose was to ensure that Canadian citizens had access to federal services in the official language of their choice. For example, in civil proceedings before federal courts other than the Supreme Court of Canada, a citizen has the right to be heard by a judge officiating without the assistance of an interpreter when deliberating in the official language chosen by the citizen.

– Builds on the networks and experience of older workers
– Allows organizations to remain competitive in a changing workforce
– Potentially increases productivity as older workers tend to have a strong work ethic and require minimal supervision

(Adapted Update)

Climate is a major influencing factor on forests, and forests in turn influence climate. The earth’s climate has been changing through natural cycles for all of its history. Five major ice ages have passed, each involving periods of glacial cooling and interglacial warming. As a result, forest composition has changed. Today, however, climate change is occurring at a far more rapid rate. This affects forests in wide-ranging and complex ways such as tree growth rates, disturbance patterns, and the ensuing redistribution of said patterns. Impacts are cumulative and interconnected. Insect damage, for example, directly increases the risk of wildfires, making them more vulnerable to disease and to further insect infestation. One negative outcome could be a significant decline in harvest. All outcomes will mean unfavorable changes for society.

First Nations and Inuit Health Update
(Adapted from report)

Mental health and well-being encompass both the mental and emotional aspects of being; namely, how one thinks and feels.
Some indicators of mental health are:
– Sense of identity and taking pride in oneself
– Enjoying life
– Ability to form and sustain meaningful relationships
– Coping with stress in a positive manner
– Self-actualization
– Self-awareness
– Self-control

Our findings show that thirty percent of First Nations people have felt depressed or sad for two weeks or more. Secondly, suicide and self-inflicted injuries are the leading cause of death for First nations youth up to the age of 44 years. Finally, First Nations youth commit suicide approximately five to six times more often that non-aboriginal youth.

Virtual, augmented and remote services will change the geography of services. In the foreseeable future, services conducted face-to-face will be increasingly performed online. Visits to a physician or a legal representative will probably start with a virtual, pre-screening interview. The visit itself may be virtual. In schools, each student may be assigned an Artificial Intelligence teacher who monitors their progress through the curriculum’s models with a human teacher playing a cursory role. AI devices could enable virtual tourists and travelers to explore or conduct business without leaving home. « Telepresensing » (the forum wherein a business can be in multiple locations at once) will allow viewers a world-wide choice of service providers rather than the premier one in their area.
