Settlement Experiences in a Small City: Kamloops, British Columbia
No full textWhat is the settlement experience of immigrants coming through family reunion intake class in Kamloops, British Columbia? The importance of undertaking this study lies in the settlement challenges faced by smaller communities outside of the major metropolitan areas of Canada. It is imperative to better understand the settlement experience of family-class immigrants in a smaller city.
British Columbia is a large province and settlement experiences can be very different from one community to another. From 2002 to 2006 there were 4,111 new immigrants to the Thompson Okanagan Development Region (BC Multiculturalism and Immigration Branch, May 2007). All immigrant groups rely on health, education and other social services, and social workers play a key role
in the delivery of direct and essential services. This study will generate discussion and policy recommendations for government, practitioners, policy-makers and other stakeholders around issues such as needs and settlement experiences of immigrants, ethno-specific groups, credentials recognition and other labour market issues, and capacity issues for delivering key services in a smaller community.Peer reviewe

No full textA proverbial objective in nanomaterial science is to construct low-dimensional nanoparticle (NP) assemblies with fascinating properties, which have shown great promise in optical, electronic and biomedical applications. [1-4] Thereinto, organization of Au NPs into one-dimensional (1D) chainlike nanostructures has attracted a booming interest because of the unique plasmonic properties arising from the coupling effect of the Au NP's surface plasmon resonance (SPR). ? 2014 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

The culture of public fathers in the small city: Where does the culture of involved fathering reside in the public spaces of the small city?
No full textFather Involvement research often focuses on issues relating to the impacts of paternal engagement on child development and the broader benefits of Father Involvement for fathers and their families. This study arose from an initiative taken by a group of service providers from various children- and family-serving organizations in the Comox Valley which together constitute the Comox Valley Father Involvement Network. Their task was to identify an activity and event in which fathers were able to actively and publicly parent in this small city. Mapping spaces appropriate to the nurturing of Father Involvement was its first mission.Peer reviewe
