Carbon reduction could change the economy as well and create new jobs across the region.

If any bioregion is well-suited to streak towards a net-zero carbon emissions economy, it would seem to be Cascadia. British Columbia, Washington and Oregon set some of North America’s first mandates to reduce greenhouse gas emissions over a decade ago. Abundant hydropower provides an edge, and most voters in all three places say they want to transition away from fossil fuels.

Getting to zero of course would require heavy political lifting. Progress so far has come in fits and starts. But if the climate crisis is to be averted, greenhouse gas emissions must be dramatically reduced. And Dr. Jennie Moore, who directs British Columbia Institute of Technology’s Institute Sustainability, points out that would bring big changes to the world of work.

Hope is a vital ingredient in general well-being, as well as in career development, but you might be feeling like it’s in short supply these days. New restrictions in many parts of Canada amid surging COVID cases have left many feeling like there’s "no end in sight."

While we weather this latest storm together, we’ve pulled together together some words of wisdom from career professionals about hope. Many of the articles are geared toward supporting your work clients or students, but there are suggestions you can apply to your own life as well. If nothing else, we hope this provides a little reprieve from "doomscrolling" through the news.

Technology is part of the future of Indigenous education but conventional classes still needed, says educator.

A report about the impacts of remote learning on children includes a section specific to Indigenous youth, including perspectives from a Nipissing First Nation educator.

On Dec. 9, The Information and Communications Technology Council published 'Uncharted Waters: A World-class Canadian E-learning Paradigm.' The 56-page report explores virtual learning in Canada and the ways in which it may be useful beyond a COVID-19 context.

Career centres are generally viewed as a staple within standard student services at any post-secondary institution in North America, as it should be. If we ask many centres who their target market is, the most obvious and immediate response is: students, of course! However, while this is a true representation of the clientele who come through our (virtual) doors, ongoing research into post-secondary student career development is emerging with a consistent theme: students have a preference to seek career advice first from those they are in regular contact with, such as faculty members, academic advisors and volunteer program managers, before they even consider setting foot in a career centre – if they do at all.
