- A motherhood issue : discourses on mothering under duress
- abstract: This study examines how policy makers, the media and women view mothers who abuse substances, who have mental health problems and who experience domestic violence. It concludes that $(3z$(Bthe best interests of the child$(3y$(B render mothers rights as secondary; policies based on risk assessment are negative and often prevent positive, supportive actions; and the evidence brought to bear on decisions regarding mothering under duress is partial and usually overlooks evidence from mothers or long-term assessment. The study recommends a mothering framework that recognizes, respects and restores the motherchild unit and women's equality in discussions about mothering.

- A project to promote implementation of the National Building Code and a standardized building permit in Prince Edward Island
- abstract: This 21 page report outlines an educational campaign in Prince Edward Island designed to encourage P.E.I. home builders to construct housing in accordance with the National Building Code. Following the Code has a number of advantages. Homes built to code tend to require fewer repairs lowering occupancy costs over the operational life of the dwelling. In addition, a uniform permit application form for all of P.E.I. was favoured as a way to help lower costs to builders and in turn, lower housing costs in general.
