D/C Blocks Social and Environmental Sciences - All morning long with Benton today, where at some point Benton will take you down to the Tsolum for a river study. You'll look at some important characteristics of a river and do a review of local hydrographs. On the field study, you'll be measuring flow and volume, freshwater invertebrate identification as indicators of water quality, with a summative report to be completed.
The quantity of water passing by a point on the stream bank in a given interval of time is the stream’s discharge. A stream’s discharge may vary because of changes in precipitation or the melting of winter snow cover. In response to varying discharge and load, the channel continuously adjusts its shape (and location). Discharge (expressed in cubic meters per second m3/s ) is a factor of width, depth for a specific cross section of the channel and velocity (Q=WxDxV). A hydrograph helps to measure discharge. Here is the provisional hydrometric data graph for the Tsolum River (near Courtenay) from September 15th to 22nd, 2022 (08HB011) Compare that to the Fraser River at Hope (08MF005). Notice any differences? The rest of the morning will be work related to Discharge, flow and hydrographic data

B Block Legal Studies - Today I'll have you continue your Charter work by answering questions 1-4 of the Canada (Attorney General) v. JTI Macdonald Corp., (2007) on page 44 in the text. This deals with whether limits imposed on tobacco manufacturers’ freedom of expression by provisions of Tobacco Act and Tobacco Products Information Regulations are justified (referring to Charter sections section 2.b Freedom of Expression and section 1 Reasonable Limits).

A Block Criminology - You'll have time to work through and finish yesterday's criminal vs deviant (non-normative behaviour) activity. You had to come up with a list of things that are deviant but not criminal and a list of things that are criminal but not deviant. The activity part is to take one act from either list and explain why it should be criminalized or why it should be decriminalized. This should be based on an evaluation of harm...in other words how deviant or not is the action? If the action would cause great social harm then perhaps we should criminalize that behaviour. If the action causes minimal social harm then perhaps we should decriminalize that behaviour. Look at yesterday's blog for links to help...
After, I'd like you to choose 5 Violent, 5 Property and 5 Social crimes in Canada, from the lists below, and identify if you think they are increasing, decreasing or are steady (unchanging).
Violent violations include: homicide, attempted murder, sexual assault (levels 1-3), assault level 3 aggravated, assault level 2 weapon or bodily harm, assault level 1, assault peace officer, assaulting with a weapon or causing bodily harm to a peace officer, aggravated assault to a peace officer, robbery, criminal harassment, uttering threats, sexual violations against children, firearms (use of, discharge, pointing), forcible confinement or kidnapping, abduction, extortion, Indecent/Harassing communications, commodification of sexual activity,
Property violations include: B&E, theft of motor vehicle, theft over $5000, theft under $5000, mischief, possession of stolen property, trafficking in stolen property, fraud, identity theft, identity fraud, arson, altering, removing or destroying vehicle identification number (VIN).
Social violations include: disturbing the peace, impaired driving, child pornography (possession, production and distribution), drug offences (possession, production and distribution), weapons (possession, production and distribution), prostitution (purchasing sexual services or communicating with the intention of buying sex)
We'll see what you think about crime trends and then we'll look at the BC Crime trends from 2011 - 2020 and then we'll talk about the disparity (difference) between the public perception of violent crime and the actual rates of violent crime in Canada.
Violent violations include: homicide, attempted murder, sexual assault (levels 1-3), assault level 3 aggravated, assault level 2 weapon or bodily harm, assault level 1, assault peace officer, assaulting with a weapon or causing bodily harm to a peace officer, aggravated assault to a peace officer, robbery, criminal harassment, uttering threats, sexual violations against children, firearms (use of, discharge, pointing), forcible confinement or kidnapping, abduction, extortion, Indecent/Harassing communications, commodification of sexual activity,
