Indigenous Peoples Atlas of Canada launches in Toronto
TORONTO — A learning resource described as a comprehensive atlas on Indigenous lands, languages and culture in Canada was launched in Toronto on Wednesday after two years of input from the communities it covers.
The Indigenous Peoples Atlas of Canada, which includes a four-volume set of books, an online interactive atlas and other components, was touted as an important educational tool for future generations.
“Not only will (Indigenous) children see themselves and their people in such a respectful and meaningful way, but non-Indigenous children will be educated with resources that come from authentic Indigenous voices for the first time,” said Charlene Bearhead, the project’s education adviser.

Video: Inside Air Canada’s Digital Loyalty Strategy
While loyalty programs have proliferated across the airline sector, Air Canada has taken a different approach after spinning off its Aeroplan loyalty program in 2005. It continued to outsource its program to Aeroplan, and perhaps fell behind in its loyalty offerings compared to North American competitors.
The airline, though, has recently brought Aeroplan back into the fold after some drama as its loyalty ambitions have shifted in a digital and mobile-first world.
Air Canada’s vice president of loyalty and e-commerce Mark Nasr detailed the airline’s loyalty plans at the inaugural Skift Tech Forum in June, before the company announced plans to bring Aeroplan back in-house. He remarked upon the shift towards leveraging customer data in more experimental ways that have emerged industry-wide over the last decade.

While it’s difficult to quantify precisely the economic impact of any piece of legislation, the changes that have occurred in the province’s labour market during the series of minimum-wage increases might be surprising to critics.
