Whale Watching

This video has nothing to do with public administration, though I guess it has to do with public policy. After the annual conference we went to St. Andrew's and went whale watching. On our 3.5 hour tour we saw 30 Right Whales. There are only 300-350 Right whales left in the world and we were lucky enough to see almost 10% of the population. Enjoy.

Vanier Medal 2008/ Médaille Vanier 2008

On April 20, 2009 at the Supreme Court of Canada, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court presented to Margaret Bloodworth the Vanier Medal. The award is handed out by the Institute of Public Administration of Canada to recognize an individual who has distinguished themselves throughout their career and contributed to public service in Canada. Margaret served as Deputy Minister in the Government of Canada. Here is a photo montage of the ceremony.
