For the past 400 years Indigenous peoples in Canada have actively resisted colonial impositions on their way of life (Simpson, 2011). The impact of the relationship that non-Indigenous people have had with Indigenous people during these times of resistance has been both positive and negative. The...

Developing autonomy and self-regulation in learners through collaborative projects is essential if we want them to develop the necessary competencies to succeed in society. This mixed approach research (quantitative and qualitative) was done in a collaborative action research setting. Central to...

Threatened woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) have experienced large range recessions and population declines across much of Canada’s boreal forest in the last century and have become a major focus of conservation efforts in the region. Habitat management strategies for woodland caribou...

Fostering a Sense of Community among Middle-Years Students Through Song and Dance Practices
DownloadSpring 2016
The arts force us out of our comfort zones, they open our minds to discovery, and allow us to confront assumptions and prejudices. Alongside defined music, sound intertwines us with our surroundings, both consciously and unconsciously, serving as the soundtrack to our lives. But what happens when...

Gastropod diversity in the boreal mixedwood forest of northern Alberta - variation among forest types and response to partial harvesting
DownloadFall 2010
Terrestrial gastropods are important decomposers, herbivores, and prey items in forest systems and constitute a poorly understood element of forest biodiversity in Canada. I studied gastropod assemblages in relation to forest cover type and in response to variable retention harvesting in the...

Habitat Use in Undisturbed Forest and the Effect of Variable Retention Harvesting on Pollinator Assemblages (Apoidea, Syrphidae) in the Boreal Forest of Alberta
DownloadSpring 2019
While pollination in agricultural areas has been well studied, pollinators in forests have received much less attention, particularly in the boreal forest. Bees, especially native bees, and hoverflies are the two most important groups of pollinators providing crucial ecological and economical...

The western toad (Anaxyrus boreas, formerly Bufo boreas) is one of many amphibian species considered to be at risk of extinction (COSEWIC status is Special Concern). I examined habitat use patterns of the western toad using several methods to gain a better understanding of its habitat...

The worldwide biodiversity crisis has intensified the need to better understand how biodiversity and human disturbance are related. Yet this relationship lacks both consensus in theoretical expectations and consistency in observed empirical patterns. I present one of the largest extent studies...

This research compared the variability/diversity of spectral information captured with spectrometers at the airborne, field, and leaf level to tree species diversity. Airborne measurements were made over the North Saskatchewan River Valley while field and leaf measurements were done with...
