Evaluation Practice

With great honour, I offer a modest commentary on the articles in this special issue of the Canadian Journal of Program Evaluation, complemented by reflections on my decades of interactions with and memories of Lyn. My commentary underscores the enduring legacy of Lyn’s significant contributions to the field of evaluation. These contributions largely, though not exclusively, reside in three domains: collaborative approaches to evaluation, the field’s deep commitment to evaluation use, and the substance and contributions of meaningful standards for evaluation practice. My reflections honour Lyn’s kindness, practical scholarship, integrity, and joyful engagement with the full richness of life.C’est un grand honneur pour moi d’offrir un modeste commentaire sur les articles de ce numéro spécial de la Revue canadienne d’évaluation de programme, complété par une réflexion sur mes décennies d’interactions avec Lyn et mes souvenirs d’elle. Mon commentaire souligne l’héritage durable de ses importantes contributions au domaine de l’évaluation. Ces contributions sont largement liées, quoique non exclusivement, à trois domaines : les approches collaboratives à l’évaluation, l’engagement profond de la communauté d’évaluateurs pour favoriser l’utilisation de l’évaluation et l’élaboration de normes pour la pratique évaluative. Mes réflexions rendent hommage à la bonté de Lyn, à son experience, à son intégrité et à son engagement toujours enthousiaste.

This special issue of Canadian Journal of Sociology on ‘Contentious Mobilities’ showcases Canadian scholarship that investigates mobilities in the context of unequal power relations. Mobilities become contentious when they confront the systematic exclusion of others, advance unconventional mobile practices and defy or destabilize existing power relations. Increasingly, mobilities are contentious in relation to rapidly changing economies, societies and environments. This special issue stages an overdue encounter between the mobilities paradigm and research on sociopolitical contention. Simultaneously, this special issue addresses an empirical gap, featuring Canada as a prolific and influential site for leading-edge research. Five key themes emerge amongst the diverse papers in this issue: life and death, employment-related mobility, intersectionality/in(visibility), governance, and automobility. Further, we identify five potential topics for Canadian mobilities, including climate change, disaster, technology and travel, the good city and methods.

This issue of the Canadian Journal of Zoology exhaustively reviews most major aspects of protochordate biology by specialists in their fields. Protochordates are members of two deuterostome phyla that are exclusively marine. The Hemichordata, with solitary enteropneusts and colonial pterobranchs, share a ciliated larva with echinoderms and appear to be closely related, but they also have many chordate-like features. The invertebrate chordates are composed of the exclusively solitary cephalochordates and the tunicates with both solitary and colonial forms. The cephalochordates are all free-swimming, but the tunicates include both sessile and free-swimming forms. Here I explore the history of research on protochordates, show how views on their relationships have changed with time, and review some of their reproductive and structural traits not included in other contributions to this special issue.

Dedication: Dr. John F. Lewry (1939–1999; see Saskatchewan Geological Survey 1999) dedicated his career to investigations of the Saskatchewan–Manitoba segment of the Trans-Hudson Orogen (THO), one of the principal Paleoproterozoic orogens associated with the assembly of Laurentia. Indeed, one can make a strong case that Lithoprobe's Trans-Hudson Orogen Transect (THOT) was designed to test the tectonic models proposed by John Lewry. He delineated the distinct tectonic provinces in the western part of the THO, predicted the presence of an Archean craton trapped within the THO, and recognized and interpreted the significance of the Pelican Thrust between the juvenile Paleoproterozoic volcanic arc complex of the western Flin Flon Domain and the Archean craton, now called the Sask craton. The research published in Lewry and Stauffer (1990), and many of his ideas, provided the framework for the design of the THOT geophysical and geological studies. John Lewry was co-leader of the THOT until he passed away in 1999 after a battle with cancer. This Special Issue of the Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences is dedicated to him.
