U of T Sioux Lookout Program

Series relates to Dr. Baines’s involvement with the University of Toronto Sioux Lookout Program as the Faculty of Medicine’s Vice-Dean of Education and later as acting Program Director following the retirement of F. W. Baker in 1997. The Sioux Lookout Program was established in the 1960s through a collaboration with the Hospital for Sick Children and the Medical Services Branch of Health and Welfare Canada. The program aimed to improve the access and delivery of health care to Indigenous communities across the Sioux Lookout region in Northwestern Ontario. It operated out of the Sioux Lookout Zone Hospital and served over 18,000 individuals from 28 First Nations until the University of Toronto severed its ties with the program in 1998. The records span from 1996 – 1999 and document the activities of the Sioux Lookout Program and the series of events, decisions, and financial crises that led to the collapse of the program. Additionally, several of the records provide insight into the negative impacts that these events had on the Indigenous communities and Sioux Lookout Zone Hospital staff.

Materials predominantly consist of correspondence between various U of T faculty and administrators, Sioux Lookout Zone Hospital staff, and members or representatives of the Nishnawbe-Aski Nation, Sioux Lookout First Nations Health Authority, Northern Chiefs Tribal Council, Ad Hoc Chief’s Committee, Shibogama Tribal Council, Independent First Nations Alliance, Ontario Ministry of Health, and Medical Services Branch of Health and Welfare Canada, including: Arnold Aberman, Fred W. Baker, Donna Barnaby, Sheila Brown, Delores Cheena, Sheree Davis, Joe Dooley, Michelle Farlinger, Janet Gordon, Tom Hawke, Daisy Hoppe, Phil Jackson, Marjorie Y. Johnson, Mae Katt, David Keeling, Barb Lacalmita, Carol Maxwell, Dermot McLoughlin, Kim Meyers, Donny Morris, James Morris, Yvonne Murphy, Lynda Roberts, Walter W. Rosser, Nancy Roy, Adel Sedra, Grace Teskey, Debbie Toppozini, Peter Toth, Judith Wright, and Donna Barnaby. Other materials include activity reports, financial reports, budgets, recovery plan proposals, notes, notices, discussion papers, agendas, Doctors Services Working Group meeting minutes, Four Party meeting minutes, and news clippings.

Aboriginal Health Professions Program

Series consists of records created and collected by Dr. Baine’s throughout his participation in several committees that were instrumental in the creation and administration of the Aboriginal Health Professions Program (AHPP) and the Office of Aboriginal Student Services and Programs (OASSP) at the University of Toronto. These committees include the Faculty of Medicine Task Force on Native Canadian Students (ca. 1980s), the Professional Education of Native Students Committee (PENSC) (1983 – 1986), the Aboriginal Health Professions Program Advisory Committee (1986 – 1991), and the Management Committee for Aboriginal Programs and Services (MCAPS) (1991 – 1993).

The AHPP (originally named the Indian Health Careers Program) was established in 1986 to improve the admission, retention, and graduation rates of Indigenous students in health science programs by identifying and supporting their specific cultural, social, and academic needs. One of its primary goals was to increase the number of qualified healthcare professionals who held both traditional knowledge and understandings of Western medical practices in order to improve the provision of healthcare to urban and rural Indigenous communities. Records in this series document several of the programs and services provided by the AHPP, including the Health Sciences Access Program for pre-university preparation, the Science-Math Pilot Project for grades 9 to 13, the Health Experience Program, as well as a recruitment, admission advocacy, and career counselling programs. These programs laid the foundations for the establishment of the OASSP and First Nations House which continue to provide culturally relevant student services to Indigenous students University-wide.

Records document the history, structure, objectives, and activities of the AHPP, OASSP, and the aforementioned committees. Materials include correspondence, agendas, meeting minutes, reports, workshop materials, project and funding proposals, project summaries, budgets, news clippings, and reference materials.

Series is divided into three subseries:

  • Subseries 5.1 includes records related to the Faculty of Medicine Task Force on Native Canadian Students and PENSC, which preceded the creation of the AHPP.
  • Subseries 5.2 includes records related to the AHPP Advisory Committee.
  • Subseries 5.3 relates to MCAPS which was established after the creation of the AHPP.

Due to the closely related functions of the various committees, there may be some overlap between subseries.

Research and Publications

Teaching

Series primarily consists of records documenting the Stowe-Gullen Stream of the Vic One Program which was designed and co-taught by Dr. Baines between 2005 and 2018. The Vic One program at Victoria College was created to provide select first-year undergraduate students with a unique close-knit academic experience and mentorship opportunity within a designated academic stream. Each stream features small seminar classes of no more than 25 students in addition to weekly plenary sessions consisting of guest lectures from professionals and professors in a variety of fields. The Stowe-Gullen Stream designed by Dr. Baines consists of two year-long courses aimed at fostering an interdisciplinary perspective and foundation in critical thinking, research and writing skills in the life sciences. Topics include ethics, statistics, rhetoric, and the philosophy of science.

The series begins with a file consisting of materials that were removed from a binder titled “VIC 170 2011-12” followed by two files containing related lecture materials. The binder’s contents were kept in their original order. Materials include agendas, minutes, and plenary session schedules and notes related to the Vic One Program; a syllabus, class schedule, lecture notes and presentation slides, and reference materials for Dr. Baine’s course, VIC 170: An Introduction to Probability, Persuasion, and the Rhetorics of Science; and a syllabus for VIC 171: Methodology, Theory, and Practice in the Natural Sciences taught by Professor Brian Baigrie.

Teaching

Series consists of records documenting Morgan’s teaching activities within the Department of Philosophy and the Women’s Studies Programme at the U of T.

School of Graduate Studies (SGS) Gender Issues Committee

From 1989 to 1993, Morgan chaired the School of Graduate Studies (SGS) Gender Issues Committee which was tasked to advance gender equity at SGS and raise retention rates for women. Initially titled “Women’s Issues Committee”, Morgan argued that the committee needed to do empirical research including all graduate students in order to determine what might be attributable to gender with respect to equity considerations, and as a result the committee was renamed “Gender Issues Committee”. The committee undertook a large empirical research project, surveying all female graduate students at the U of T (approximately 4000) and 1000 male graduate students.

Committee members:

  • 1989-1990: Eleanor Cook, Ursula Franklin, Niall Byrne, James (Jim) Prentice, Jennifer Nedelsky, Lois Reimer, Angela Hofstra (graduate student), June Larkin (researcher)
  • 1990-1991: Catherine Grise, Ursula Franklin, James (Jim) Prentice, Alison Li (graduate student), Lois Reimer, Sam Minsky, June Larkin (external researcher), Sylvia Bashevkin, Rachel Webster (post-doc), Jennifer Nedelsky, Joe Carens

The Final Report was never tabled, but nevertheless several of the recommendations were implemented by SGS and the University.

Files include: background readings and reports of similar work being conducted at other universities and in other areas of the U of T in parallel; literature reviews; minutes, correspondence, and memos; draft recommendations and feedback by Rose Sheinin, Ursula Franklin, Bruce Kidd, David Rayside, Alison Prentice, Ann Saddlemyer, Frank Cunningham, Lorna Marsden; quantitative data and qualitative data categorized by sex and SGS division; conference presentations and reports to campus groups including the SGS Council of Deans.
