It also reflects the quality of the education we provide, in a location that is an attractive one to live and study.鈥�

The total number of students at 17吃瓜 is now 4,549, up from 4,433 from last year. 17吃瓜 did see an overall drop of 6.8 per cent in the graduate student population (though with registrations after official data collection, the numbers are now closer to being on par with 2016鈥�17).

Alysha Corrigan, a Bachelor of Business Administration student from Charlottetown, is a fourth-year fullback on the 17吃瓜 Women鈥檚 Rugby team. The Panthers beat Saint Mary鈥檚 University 57-14 over the weekend. 鈥淎lysha scored 22 points in the game with SMU to earn the Panthers a berth in the AUS semi-final,鈥� said coach John LaBoyne. 鈥淪he scored two tries and made six converts, while leading the team from the standoff position rather than her usual spot at fullback.

The Institute of Island Studies will host a public symposium to examine the idea of turning Prince Edward Island into Canada鈥檚 first carbon-neutral province. This public event will be Thursday, October 26 at 7 pm in the Alex H. MacKinnon Auditorium, room 242 of 17吃瓜鈥檚 Don and Marion McDougall Hall.

With so much in the news about monster hurricanes and other unusually severe weather events, people are becoming more concerned about the long-term impact of climate change. And so we ask ourselves what can be done about it; and also, how can we, on our own island, provide a model of positive action for elsewhere.

The title of this symposium is 鈥淢aking the Case for the Island as a Carbon-Neutral Province.鈥� The event is sponsored by 17吃瓜鈥檚 Institute of Island Studies, in conjunction with 17吃瓜 Research Services and the 17吃瓜 Climate Research Lab.

The principal speaker will be Dr. Catherine Potvin, a professor at McGill University and associate staff scientist at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute. In the wake of the 150^th anniversary of the Charlottetown Conference on Confederation, Dr. Potvin was selected as one of 23 women visionaries for the future of Canada. She leads the group Sustainable Canada Dialogues, a voluntary initiative that mobilizes over 80 researchers from every province, with sustainability being at the heart of their research programs. The objective of Sustainable Canada Dialogues is to identify actions designed to have large, viable impacts to help Canadian governments at all levels to make thoughtful and ambitious commitments to greenhouse-gas emission reductions. Though the scale of the global challenge is enormous, more individuals, communities, industries, and governments are stepping up to the task.

Dr. Potvin will be joined by Mr. Bob Ashley, Chief Administrative Officer for the City of Summerside. The city has implemented a number of initiatives, including generating its own electricity. His talk, 鈥淪ummerside鈥檚 Renewable Energy Quest,鈥� will illustrate the critical value of a community-owned electric utility as an instrument of public energy policy. Other initiatives include storage for intermittent generation, such as wind and solar, building a fleet of electric vehicles, implementing a 鈥渓iving lab鈥� program, and a 鈥渟marter homes鈥� initiative.

Dr. Jim Randall, the Chair of the Institute of Island Studies and UNESCO Co-chair in Island Studies and Sustainability, will speak about the experiences and challenges of other small islands of the world in their quest to achieve a version of carbon-neutrality. An economic and social geographer by training, Dr. Randall is a professor in Island Studies and co-ordinator of the Master of Arts in Island Studies program.

The Symposium will be chaired by Dr. Adam Fenech, director of the 17吃瓜 Climate Research Lab.

Members of the public are cordially invited to attend. Admission is free. Following the presentations, there will be ample time for discussion and questions from the floor.

For more information, contact Laurie at the Institute of Island Studies at 902-894-2881 or brinklow@upei.ca.

The Atlantic Veterinary College (AVC) has honoured the Jewell family and Jewell Jewell Dale Farm Inc., of Meadowbank, PEI, with the 2017 Honourable Eugene F. Whelan Green Hat Award for their contributions to the College and veterinary medicine.

17吃瓜 President and Vice-Chancellor Alaa Abd-El-Aziz and AVC Dean Greg Keefe presented Kevin Jewell, representing Jewel Dale Farm Inc., with the award during the University鈥檚 Founders Day Ceremony on September 22. Jolene Vermeulen, AVC Class of 2019, read the citation. Also present were members of the multi-generational Jewel family.

AVC established the Honourable Eugene F. Whelan Green Hat Award in 2000 to pay tribute to people who have had a significant and positive impact on the College and veterinary medicine in Atlantic Canada.

Citation:

Jewell Dale Farm is home to three generations of the Jewell family: Roy and Elaine, who started the farm in 1959; their son Kevin and his wife Cheryl; and their sons, Logan, Kyle, and Joel. The farm is managed collaboratively with each member taking on various responsibilities. Logan manages the herd of 115 Holsteins (along with a Jersey or two); Kyle looks after the crops; and Joel, who works at the local John Deere dealership, is their mechanic on call. Cheryl looks after the books for the farm; Kyle鈥檚 wife Jane, who grew up on a dairy farm in Nova Scotia, manages the young stock; and Logan鈥檚 wife Megan is a veterinarian and graduate student at AVC. It is truly a family affair!

The family鈥檚 passion and care for their animals is evident. When you walk into the barn at Jewell Dale Farm, you see a bright, airy space, where the dairy cows feed and scratch their backs on rotating brushes, walk around on rubber mats designed to reduce stress on their hooves, or rest on foam mattresses.

The Jewell鈥檚 commitment to the health and welfare of their herd has not gone unnoticed. Valacta, a regional dairy herd improvement organization, named Jewell Dale Farm the top herd in Prince Edward Island in its 2016 Herd Performance Index.
Jewell Dale Farm has been a client of the College鈥檚 Veterinary Teaching Hospital since it opened in 1988. But the Jewell family are more than clients. Their involvement with AVC runs much deeper. They have been a mainstay in the College鈥檚 teaching program, providing opportunities for thousands of veterinary students to learn about bovine medicine, herd production, and management.

They have participated in numerous dairy research projects and are strong supporters of other AVC activities such as its annual vet camp program for 200 young junior and senior high school aged youth and the student-run Bovine Club.
The family鈥檚 support of AVC extends beyond the farm. Currently, Cheryl is involved in the veterinary medicine priority of 17吃瓜鈥檚 鈥淚nspire Campaign.鈥�

Dr. Shawn McKenna, Service Chief of AVC Farm Service, nominated the Jewell family for this year鈥檚 Green Hat Award.

鈥淭he Jewell family exemplifies the teamwork that is essential to a good relationship between veterinarian and producer,鈥� he said. 鈥淭hey are so supportive of the work we do. It鈥檚 beneficial for both of us.鈥�

For their contributions to the education of future veterinarians and to the Atlantic Veterinary College, we are honored to award the 2017 Honourable Eugene F. Whelan Green Hat Award to the Jewell family and Jewell Dale Farm.

About the inductees

George Morrison (Coach)

First, he coached the 17吃瓜 Women鈥檚 Basketball team, and then went on to build the men鈥檚 program in the 1980s that had the Panthers consistently ranked as one of the top teams in the country, and as result Morrison became one of the most successful coaches in Canada. His 17-year coaching career at 17吃瓜 saw his Panthers men's team reach the now-Atlantic University Sport basketball conference playoffs 14 times and net three Atlantic titles. A three-time coach of the year in the Atlantic University Athletic Association (the AUS's predecessor)鈥攆irst with the 17吃瓜 Women鈥檚 Basketball team鈥擬orrison's accomplishments make him one of PEI's most successful coaches in any sport. The Morell native was also the first head coach of the inaugural and successful CCAA men鈥檚 program at Holland College. Morrison has coached at every level on PEI including numerous provincial and Canada Games teams in addition to being an outstanding organizer and administrator at the local and provincial level. He was inducted in the PEI Sports Hall of Fame in 2011.

Barb Mullaly, posthumously (Builder)
