Podcasts about ccla

Welcome to Purposely SHORT, a weekly episode that features one of our friends or past guests sharing their expertise on a specific topic.This week's episode features Peter Hugh Smith, CEO, at CCLA. he discussion centers on CCLA's stance on Shein's potential London Stock Exchange listing, citing concerns over labor practices and raw material sourcing. Despite potential investment, CCLA decided not to invest due to ethical reasons. The conversation highlights CCLA's approach to aligning investments with client values, assessing sustainable impacts, and engaging with companies to drive change. A notable example is CCLA's corporate mental health benchmark, which rated UK companies post-pandemic, leading to HSBC improving its global mental health policies. CCLA also engages with governments to influence policy, complementing their company engagement efforts.

Peter Hugh Smith, CEO of CCLA Investment Management, recently joined Mark Longbottom on the Purposely Podcast to discuss the company's approach to investment and its responsibilities to its clients as well as society and the environment.Founded in 1958, CCLA Investment Management was established to manage the Church of England's investment fund more effectively. Since then, it has expanded its reach, now managing over £15 billion in funds for more than30,000 clients, including charities, local authorities, and faith organisations.Smith outlined CCLA's dual focus: delivering financial returns while ensuring investments align with responsible and sustainable principles. While operating in a competitive commercial environment, the firm takes a distinct approach, prioritising ethical considerations alongside performance.A dedicated sustainability team plays a key role in shaping investment decisions. Working closely with the investment team, they address major global issues such as climate change, mental health, and modern slavery. This commitment extends to active engagement with companies to drive better practices. One example is HSBC, which enhanced its global mental health policies following discussions with CCLA.CCLA's structure and client base provide the flexibility to challenge industry norms. Smith pointed to the firm's stance on Shein's potential listing on the London Stock Exchange, raising concerns about the company's labour practices. This ability to take strong positions reflects CCLA's broader approach to responsible investment.Reflecting on his time as CEO, Smith started at CCLA just prior to the Global Pandemic which, with the benefit of hindsight he says that was fortuitous because he had a chance to form bonds with his team that is keen to pay tribute to his team however he recalled one of his toughest moments: the decision to shift all staff to remote working at the start of the pandemic. The sudden transition underscored the importance of adaptability and collaboration within the organisation.Looking to the future, Smith emphasised the need for CCLA to stay competitive while navigating evolving regulatory standards. He also highlighted the ongoing challenge for charities in recruiting skilled trustees, an area where additional support is often needed.His discussion on the Purposely Podcast offered a clear perspective on CCLA's priorities: balancing financial performance with a commitment to ethical investment, while continuing to support the organisation sit serves.Smith was in New Zealand as a guest of Trust Management, sponsors of Purposely Podcast

Questions linger over the Umar Zameer first degree murder charge in the death of Toronto police Detective Constable Jeffrey Northrup and reaction to the trial of Mr. Zameer which came to an end last Sunday with a not guilty jury verdict, as well as the trial judge's "deepest apologies" expressed to Mr. Zameer. Toronto Police Chief Myron Demkiw's statement following the verdict that police "were hoping for a different outcome" has caused the Canadian Civil Liberties Association to engage and on Thursday the CCLA wanted to know what steps the Toronto Police Services Board will take to ensure the Chief and other police members will not "publicly malign bail decisions or criminal verdicts in the future." Toronto Police Service has responded, saying the chief "has stated numerous times that he supports the justice system and accepts the decision by the jury."  Comments made by Ontario premier Doug Ford, who described bail issued to Mr. Zameer as "completely unacceptable." Ford has since said his statement was based on "limited information" about the case. We speak to the head of the Toronto Police Association, representing rank and file officers. This after Umar Zameer advised "police should not commit perjury, or put up people prepared to commit perjury."   Guest: Jon Reid. President Toronto Police Association.

Why are university students in both Canada and the United States, as well as in Europe particularly engaging in "Jew hatred?" The clinical term is antisemitism, but really in the post secondary environments it is blatant Jew hatred which I for one never expected to experience at all in Canada, let alone at the level we're witnessing. We're going to speak with Jewish Canadians both today and tomorrow and one of our guests tomorrow was the specific target of vicious and intimidating Jew hatred.  Guest: Professor Eric Kam.

ONCE UPON A GENE - EPISODE 215 Beyond the Crossroads- Rebuilding and Reclaiming Identity After Sacrificing Careers for Caregiving with Emily Crawford Emily Crawford left her lifelong dream job of being a teacher to surrender to the demands of care-giving. She joins me to discuss identity loss and metamorphosis after becoming a parent to a medically complex child.  EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS Can you tell us about your family? I have four children— Chloe is my middle child. The first eight years of Chloe's life was seemingly normal and she hit all the expected milestones. At eight years old she started presenting unique symptoms and she was eventually diagnosed with a rare, life-threatening illness of her lymphatic system, called central conducting lymphatic anomaly (CCLA).  How has Chloe's diagnosis affected your career and how did the shift affect your sense of personal identity? I wanted to be a teacher my whole life. Right before Chloe was diagnosed, I was at the pinnacle of my career, being recognized as teacher of the year, presenting at teaching conferences and I loved living my passion. Immersed very quickly and suddenly into the medical parenting world, I had to give up my career teaching. It's a personal struggle not to be teaching and the shift has been difficult. The shift was dark and isolating and I felt like I didn't have anything to contribute to the conversations with teacher friends. I wasn't connected to anyone else around me and I also experienced jealousy in my marriage because my partner was still able to work.  How have you adapted to your new role? The biggest part of my journey has been to take part in mental health therapy, which has been really helpful for me. I get to the gym every day and I am part of the OUAG walk group. I look for pockets of time where I can do things for myself, like walking the parking lot when my daughter is in therapy sessions. I have leaned into my network of friends who have put in the time to learn about what I'm going through and I make time to have dinner or to see a movie with them. My children are my #1 priority, but I am Emily and I stay connected to myself the best I can.  Can you share about your recognition as a CPN Parent Champion? I found CPN when I was researching pediatric palliative care and I knew my teaching skills would lend well to the Parent Champion opportunity. That role has led me to my people. We're all doing big things, parenting, doing the hard stuff and we can relate well to each other.  LINKS AND RESOURCES MENTIONED Walking Club Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/onceuponagene.podcast/ Courageous Parents Network https://courageousparentsnetwork.org/ CONNECT WITH EFFIE PARKS Website https://effieparks.com/ Twitter https://twitter.com/OnceUponAGene Instagram https://www.instagram.com/onceuponagene.podcast/?hl=en Built Ford Tough Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/1877643259173346/

The Rodgers Brief is back after a summer hiatus. In this episode, I discuss some of the political developments from the federal and provincial cabinet shuffles, as well as my reflections on the Conservative Party national convention in Quebec City, a place that is truly a national treasure as a city.

On the more national scale, I review the first week of the Tamara Lich/Chris Barber 'trucker convoy' trial, and also the Canadian Civil Liberties Association lawsuit against the New Brunswick Department of Education regarding the changes to a policy that would require schools to obtain parents' consent before using the chosen name of a transgender/nonbinary student.

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains graphic content, including violence, suicide and death which may shock, offend or upset.In this episode, Mike discusses Tracking Injustice:  A Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice Data and Transparency Project and Carleton University's assertion of it being a "National Database of Deaths Caused by Police Use of Force." Is the data set limited, as the project's website claims, to "killings and deaths following intentional police use of force" such as"police shootings that resulted in death, and instances where a person died after being subjected to other types of weapons (e.g., tasers, batons) or physical interventions (e.g., punches, kicks, physical holds)"?  Does the data accurately represent only individuals that "did die as a direct result of the police use of force"?  Did the police kill 69 people in 2022 as the principal investigator on the project was quoted as saying in a CCLA press release and the media has since repeated? Or does this so called "National Database of Deaths Caused by Police Use of Force"  include  deaths that had little or nothing to do with police use of force?  You be the judge. Thanks for listening!

In November last year, the Superior Court of Quebec issued a landmark decision, finding that police roadside interceptions are often based on skin colour rather than on road safety objectives. Judge Michel Yergeau ruled that the law allowing for such arbitrary detention can no longer stand. The case was brought by Joseph-Christopher Luamba, a 22 year old black Montrealer, who told the court he prepares to pull over whenever he sees a police cruiser. We spoke last fall with Laura Berger, staff lawyer with the Canadian Civil Liberties association, an intervenor in the case.

Earlier this year, Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino introduced Bill C-26, new cyber-security legislation. The bill may address an issue that is widely regarded as essential, but once Canadian privacy and civil liberties had the opportunity to review the fine print in the bill, many came away concerned. Indeed, by September a coalition of groups and experts wrote to the Minister and party leaders, stating “Bill C-26 is deeply problematic and needs fixing”, warning that it risks undermining privacy rights. Brenda McPhail, the Director of the Privacy, Technology and Surveillance Program at the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, led the effort to place Bill C-26 in the spotlight. She joins the Law Bytes podcast to discuss the bill and the myriad of concerns that it raises.

Alan Carter talks with Abby Deshman, Director of the Criminal Justice Program at The Canadian Civil Liberties Association with reaction to vote in the house regarding the Emergencies Act.

As police clashed with protesters near Parliament this weekend, a different fight was playing out inside the House of Commons: a debate over the federal government's use of the Emergencies Act. The federal Liberals invoked the act last Monday, granting temporary powers to the government to handle ongoing blockades and protests against pandemic restrictions, including clearing protesters and freezing associated bank accounts. The Liberals say it was a necessary move to end illegal protests; some opponents, meanwhile, argue it was an overreach that sets a dangerous precedent for cracking down on future protests. The House of Commons is set for a vote that could strike down the emergency powers tonight. But the Canadian Civil Liberties Association is one of multiple groups taking the federal government to court over the act's use. Today, executive director and general counsel Noa Mendelsohn Aviv on what the CCLA fears the normalization of emergency powers could mean for Canadian democracy.

Catholic Charities Legal Assistance Department (CCLA) is a vital part of the wrap-around services that we offer to our clients.

In March of 2017, Sidewalk Labs, a sister company of Google, was chosen by Waterfront Toronto to develop Toronto's Port Lands. Waterfront Toronto is an organization administering projects along Toronto's Waterfront; it is made up of a partnership between 3 levels of government; The City of Toronto, The Province of Ontario and the Federal Government. The deal was meant to develop the eastern waterfront property known as Quayside, which is the largest area of undeveloped waterfront property in a major North American City. On April 16th 2019 CCLA along with co-applicant Lester Brown commenced proceedings against Waterfront Toronto; seeking a reset of the Quayside Project. CCLA argued that Waterfront Toronto never had the authority to turn a Toronto neighbourhood into a data surveillance testbed nor to make policy regarding the collection, ownership, management or control of residents data. The Quayside project would permit the commoditization of personal data and let Sidewalk Labs do non-consensual mass surveillance. This is a violation of Canadian's personal and collective privacy rights under the Charter of Rights and Freedom. CCLA argued The Quayside project was in violation of 3 sections of the Charter.In this episode of Justice Vs., we speak to Dr. Brenda McPhail, CCLA's Privacy, Surveillance and Technology Program Director,  Dr. Ben Green author of The Smart Enough City: Putting Technology in its Place to Reclaim Our Urban Future and Assistant Professor in the Gerald R.

A St. John's doctor claims he was defamed by the province's health minister, Mark Quinn has the details. We talk to the Canadian Civil Liberties Association about the curfew that was put in place this weekend in Quebec. It's aimed at curbing the spread of COVID-19, but the CCLA has concerns. Lindsay Bird joins us to talk about how a school on the south coast of Newfoundland has integrated daycare into the school system. CBC's Elyn Jones speaks with Cameron Eckert, a director with the Yukon Bird Club, on the sighting of a rare bird in the Yukon, and Tony Chubbs from Happy Valley-Goose Bay gives us an update on rare bird sightings in Labrador. The Covid-19 vaccine rollout continued yesterday in Labrador. We hear some reactions on that and hear from some people who got the shot. The weather has been strange this winter on the coast of Labrador, and Cartwright has been feeling the brunt of it. We talk with the mayor to get an update. We speak with the owner of Ralph the miniature Schnauzer, a dog from Labrador City getting famous for walking on two legs. It's been almost one week since the deadly attack on the United States Capitol. We check in with our political watcher Heather Scoffield of the Toronto Star to look at how the politics of that attack are spilling over into Canada.

Over half of inmates held in Canada's provincial and territorial prisons have not been determined guilty. In this episode of Justice Vs. we look at the use of bail in Canada's criminal justice system and how it perpetuates criminal identity among even those not yet convicted of crimes. We talk to Dr. Jane Sprott and James Fauvelle. Dr. Sprott is a professor in the Department of Criminology at Ryerson University. Her research interests include the operation of the youth and adult criminal justice systems, issues around pre-trial release, sentencing in Canada, and perceptions of crime and criminal justice policies. She is currently working on a SSHRC funded project which investigates bail conditions placed on youths. Fauvelle is a third-year student working towards his Bachelor's in Social Work at Ryerson University. He is an active member in the Canadian Addiction Counsellors Certification Federation and a registered social service worker in Ontario. He focuses on “integrating the principles, philosophies and theories of Social Service Work from an Anti-Oppressive and Social Justice framework.”  The Canadian Civil Liberties Association (CCLA) spoke with him a few years ago for the report Set Up to Fail: Bail and the Revolving Door of Pre-trial Detention. Warning to listeners: this episode mentions suicide. Further Reading:Want to learn more about bail and bail processes?
