Drastic spending reductions and ongoing restraint in social assistance, income supports, and the provision of affordable housing, combined with the offloading of social responsibilities onto municipalities, has contributed to the generalization of social issues once chiefly associated with Canada’s largest urban centres. As the investigations in this volume illustrate, while some communities responded to these issues with inclusionary and progressive actions others were more exclusionary and reactive—revealing forms of discrimination, exclusion, and “othering” in the implementation of practices and policies. Importantly, however their investigations reveal a broad range of responses to the social issues they face. No matter the process and results of the proposed solutions, what the contributors uncovered were distinctive attributes of the small city as it struggles to confront increasingly complex social issues. If local governments accept a social agenda as part of its responsibilities, the contributors to <em>Small Cities, Big Issues</em> believe that small cities can succeed in reconceiving community based on the ideals of acceptance, accommodation, and inclusion.Sociology, UrbanCanadaCanadaSocial conditionsCase studiesBCsocial issuesprostitutionmental healthnimbyismaccommodationneoliberalismBritish ColumbiahomelessnessIndigenous peoplesSociology, Urban307.760971Edited by Christopher Walmsley and Terry Kadingauth1348118Walmsley ChristopherKading TerryMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910346036503321Small cities, big issues3085180UNINA02772oam 2200457 a 450 991069673170332120080715160247.0(CKB)5470000002381557(OCoLC)232334870(EXLCZ)99547000000238155720080619d2008 ua 0engurmn|||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierPrivacy[electronic resource] agencies should ensure that designated senior officials have oversight of key functions : report to the Chairman, Subcommittee on Oversight of Government Management, the Federal Workforce, and the District of Columbia, Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, U.S. Senate /United States Government Accountability Office[Washington, D.C.] :U.S. Govt.

A number of additional laws have been enacted in recent years directing agency heads to designate senior officials as focal points with overall responsibility for privacy. GAO was asked to (1) describe laws and guidance that set requirements for senior privacy officials within federal agencies, and (2) describe the organizational structures used by agencies to address privacy requirements and assess whether senior officials have oversight over key functions. To achieve these objectives, GAO analyzed the laws and related guidance and analyzed policies and procedures relating to key privacy functions at 12 agencies.Privacy Data protectionGovernment policyUnited StatesDatabase securityGovernment policyUnited StatesGovernment executivesUnited StatesData protectionGovernment policyDatabase securityGovernment policyGovernment executivesUnited States.Congress.Senate.Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.Subcommittee on Oversight of Government Management, the Federal Workforce, and the District of Columbia.EJBEJBEJBGPOBOOK9910696731703321Privacy660876UNINA
