Sustainable Supply Chain Policy Framework for Social Enterprises

The project aims to develop a comprehensive public policy framework to bolster sustainable, local Canadian supply chains and establish the legal standing of social enterprises. The framework will focus on creating policies that protect natural resources, promote ethical business practices, and incentivize local production. Additionally, it will ensure that businesses with a social mission, like Your Sweet Spot Life, are recognized and supported by regulatory structures and government incentives. The project will involve researching existing policies, identifying gaps, and proposing new policies that align with sustainable and ethical business practices. Students will apply their knowledge of public policy, sustainability, and business ethics to create a framework that supports the growth and recognition of social enterprises in Canada.

Rural Resource Potential Analysis

Your Sweet Spot Life is seeking a comprehensive analysis of financially depressed rural communities in Canada that possess specific natural resources. The goal is to identify areas that are within 150–200 kilometers of a major city center and have access to affordable, clean power sources such as hydroelectric, geothermal, or wind energy. Additionally, these communities should be near a water source suitable for damming and have access to a natural, non-commercialized hot spring. The land must include both mineral and surface land rights. This project will allow learners to apply their knowledge of geography, economics, and resource management to identify potential areas for sustainable development and investment.

Comprehensive Policy Development for Your Sweet Spot Life

Your Sweet Spot Life (YSSL) is seeking to establish a robust framework that encompasses public relations, conflict resolution, and legal policies. The goal is to create a cohesive set of guidelines that will enhance YSSL's public image, streamline conflict resolution processes, and ensure legal compliance. This project will allow learners to apply their knowledge of communication strategies, conflict management, and legal principles to develop comprehensive policies. The team will conduct research on industry best practices, analyze YSSL's current operations, and propose tailored solutions that align with the company's values and objectives. By the end of the project, YSSL aims to have a clear, actionable policy document that can be easily implemented and understood by all stakeholders.

Victorian Era Historical Context Research for Novel

This project involves conducting in-depth research to provide historical context for a Victorian/Civil War era romance novel set in Corlears Hook East River New York and Tavistock, England. The goal is to gather detailed information on specific aspects of life during this period, including shipbuilding, iron ore mining, midwifery, and shipyard clerking in America, as well as fashion, aristocratic lifestyle, property, and general customs in England. The research will help ensure historical accuracy and enrich the narrative with authentic details. Learners will apply their skills in historical research, data collection, and analysis to compile a comprehensive report that can be used by the novel's author to create a vivid and believable setting.
