SUMMARY:Stories Beyond Stories: True Crime and Investigative Journalism Podcasts

SUMMARY:Canada’s Game – violence\, misogyny and racism in hockey
DESCRIPTION:*Please note this event starts at 6:00 pm CST* \nHockey Canada has been embroiled in scandal and scrutiny for months over its history of grossly mishandling sexual assault allegations. \nSince 1989\, the sports organization has paid out $8.9 million to quietly settle sexual assault cases involving junior hockey players out of a slush fund comprised of registration fees paid by parents. It’s not an isolated incident. It isn’t one bad apple. Canada’s sports minister says there is a “systemic problem” of sexual violence and toxic masculinity in Canada’s hockey culture. \nJoin us at this online panel moderated by Tamara Taggart where we will address the Hockey Canada scandal as a jumping off point to interrogate the damaging culture at the heart of hockey in Canada.

SUMMARY:Rural & Remote Health: Community Engagement Towards a Fit-for-Purpose Rural Workforce
DESCRIPTION:This month the Division of Social Accountability directs its attention to rural and remote health. In April of 2022\, the DSA office spent time in consultation with community partners and heard that the lack of services in rural and remote areas continues to have an adverse impact on their services and on the lives of the people they serve.  \nIn our province\, where half of our population lives outside of large urban centre\, the impacts of these health inequities continues to grow. How do we train physicians that can contribute to policy decisions that advance health equity in our province? The DSA believes that it is through genuine engagement with community stakeholders and advocates\, and leveraging the concerns of faculty\, students\, and staff that we can respond to the complex challenges of being a socially accountable organization in a province with rapidly changing needs. \n Join us for our Health Equity Webinar Series on January 27th where we hear from Dr. Sarah Strasser\, Emeritus Professor of Rural Health University of Waikato\, New Zealand and Dr. Roger Strasser\, Emeritus Professor of Rural Health University of Waikato\, New Zealand and Founding Dean Emeritus Northern Ontario School of Medicine where they will share their extensive experience using community engagement to build a fit-for-purpose rural workforce.

SUMMARY:Worker Voice with a Gender Lens — New Opportunities to Increase Inclusion and Equity in Supply Chains
DESCRIPTION:*Please note this event will start at 9:00 am CST* \nJoin the International Center for Research on Women’s corporate advisory team for a timely discussion on leveraging gender-targeted data to help suppliers create inclusive programs\, improve their bottom-line performance\, and empower women workers. \nWorker voice tools are mechanisms that allow workers to share their needs and experiences in the workplace. They help to inform better policies\, practices\, and business decisions\, and they are becoming an increasingly powerful tool in the hands of employers. Yet\, many worker voice surveys deployed in global supply chains have a blind spot — they are almost always missing a specific gender dimension. \nThe session will introduce the Gender Equity Worker Voice tool and explore the following questions: Why do worker surveys need to be gender inclusive? What does it mean to develop women-centric questions and\, how should you go about doing it? Presenters will also share a few best practices to follow when co-creating inclusive questions and discuss how they leveraged participation from brands\, factories\, and\, principally\, women workers in developing the tool.
