Congress 2013 is a mammoth success
The Ring
From scholarly debate to daily entertainment, fabulous food and even a 40,000-year-old wooly-mammoth tusk—Congress 2013 of the Humanities and Social Sciences was a resounding success with something for everyone. The months and months of preparation and smooth implementation of detailed plans, plus timely response to queries as they arose, resulted in a Congress that will not be soon forgotten by the approximately 7,800 delegates, hundreds of volunteers and thousands of community members who attended events from June 1 to 8.

Atlas shows Southern V.I wellness
The Ring
The Southern Vancouver Island health services delivery area leads the province in overall wellness, according to the recently published BC Atlas of Wellness, co-authored by Drs. Les Foster (geography, child and youth care) and Peter Keller (geography). The atlas project compiled a broad range of 120 health and wellness indicators, presenting the data in more than 270 maps and supporting tables. Funded by the provincial government, the atlas is the first such initiative in Canada and will help government and community planners establish policies that further encourage healthy, active lifestyles. The atlas can be obtained through UBC Press and is available online at www.geog.uvic.ca/wellness.
