Inspired by Indigenous notions of relationality, accountability and holism, this paper examines an ecomuseum case study, l’Écomusée du patrimoine funéraire et commémoratif, to better understand its activist community forming claims. In particular, this pap er seeks to describe and analyze how this ecomuseums' relationships with the environment and community take form (i.e., projects, practices, objects, values, etc.), and discuss what this model of museum implies for its community, and as a possible model fo r other organizations to adopt. Implications regarding its holistic structure, values, and mission, and aims for public participation will be juxtaposed with the classic iteration of public museums. Although previous studies have studied aspects of ecomuse ums regarding their history, their connection to policy change, this article’s aim is to examine and compare this ecomuseum, with emphasis on the intimate relationship and communal claims regarding how it views, builds, organizes and understands its relati onships with its public and larger ecosystem.

The Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) have continuously struggled to address female inclusion and concerns surrounding inappropriate behaviour, sexual violence, and discrimination within its ranks. In recent years there have been different missions directed at understanding and responding to issues of sexual misconduct and toxic work culture within the CAF. Unfortunately, these programs have not adequately captured or mitigated these issues, and the current academic literature lacks lived experiences that could inform such policies and mitigations. As a corrective, this study sought to provide an account of lived experiences of these issues. This phenomenological case study utilized snowball sampling to recruit 55 female CAF veterans for one-on-one in-depth semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis followed three research questions that surrounded: 1) Leadership, 2) Segregation and Demeaning Treatment Towards Integration, and 3) Violence and Inappropriate Behaviour. This study should be of interest to Canadian and other national forces looking to enhance their understanding of the issues faced by female veterans.

Over the past decade, Canadian law on prostitution has shifted from liberalism to postmodernism. This article explores the legislative and jurisprudential path of this ideological evolution. This evolution culminated in the adoption, in 2014, of the Protection of Communities and Exploited Persons Act and the Supreme Court of Canada's refusal, in 2023, to hear the appeal lodged by the defendants in R. v. N.S., a decision of the Ontario Court of Appeal.
