Join the Faculty of Education for a free public lecture presented by Dr. Edward Melhuish. Much evidence has accumulated in recent decades that the child’s experience in the early years has profound consequences for later life. Recent evidence from large-scale studies in the UK indicate how differing patterns of experience in the early years, both in the home and outside the home can have long-term impact on children’s educational and socio-emotional development. In particular the home learning environment and pre-school experience in the early years continue to have an impact upon children’s development many years later.

On Tuesday, March 12, UPEI Environmental Studies will host an information session entitled "The Federal Government, the Environment, and You: The Enviromental Petitions Process." This information session will be led by David Willey from the Auditor General of Canada's office. The environmental petitions process was established by Parliament as a formal means for Canadians to bring their concerns about environmental issues to the attention of federal ministers and departments and to receive a response to their concerns. In addition to providing information to petitions, petitions have prompted such action by federal departments as follow-up on alleged violations, and changes or clarifications in policies and practices.
