To whom it may concern,
I am displaying this brief portfolio to feature some
of my work from the past 20 years. These items show
a range of creative talent that I have used to design
brochures, illustrations, reports, books and their
covers, newsletters, and other material.
They all demonstrate the hallmark of my design
philosophy: to create a good, clean, classic look that
enables understanding and engages the reader.
I look forward to hearing from you very soon. If you
have any questions, feel free to contact me.
Thank you for your consideration.

I
n the spring of 2004, over 25,000
English- and French-speaking 13-
year-old and 16-year-old Canadian
students from 17 jurisdictions1
across
Canada participated in the SAIP Science III
Assessment. This pan-Canadian science
assessment was administered for the third
time using essentially the same criteria and
instruments as previously.
In this third iteration of the SAIP Science
Assessment, only the written portion of
the assessment was administered, unlike
the previous two, administered in 1996
and 1999, which included a hands-on
practical task component as well.
The assessment instruments were designed,
developed, and reviewed by representatives
of the jurisdictions, working together under
the leadership of the development team.
This assessment was also made possible by
the cooperation extended to the develop-
ment team by students, teachers, parents, and stakeholder representatives.
In spite of the diversity of student circumstances and educational experiences in the
jurisdictions, this challenging exercise produced a comprehensive assessment of student
science knowledge and skills, composed for a specific purpose in a specific context. In
addition, a snapshot of the context in which students learn science was taken, through a
survey of students, their teachers, and their schools.
What is SAIP?
The School Achievement Indicators Program
was conceived in 1989 by members of the Council
of Ministers of Education,Canada (CMEC) as a
program of pan-Canadian assessments of student
performance in core subjects.SAIP assessments are
administered on a cyclical basis to measure student
achievement over time in mathematics,reading
and writing,and science.
In addition,data are collected on the context in
which students learn,through questionnaires
completed by students,their teachers,and their
school principals.
The information collected through the SAIP
assessments is used by each jurisdiction to
orient educational priorities and plan program
improvements.

SAIP SCIENCE 2004
SAIP SCIENCE FRAMEWORK
Separate strands (or domains) were defined as organizers for the SAIP assessment of science.
Knowledge and Concepts of Science
• Chemistry
• Biology
• Physics
• Earth and Space Sciences
The Nature of Science
• Science, Technology, and the Environment
• Science, Technology, and Society
Sets of criteria (and separate assessment tools) were developed to assess both the knowledge and
the skill components within the strands.
Questions within these domains were designed to assess the students’
• conceptual knowledge and understanding
• procedural knowledge and skills
• ability to use science to solve problems
Student achievement is measured using a five-level curriculum framework that represents a
continuum of knowledge and skills acquired over the span of the students’ elementary and
secondary school experiences. The same assessment is administered to both 13-year-olds and
16-year-olds with the expectation that most 13-year-olds would perform at level 2 or better and
most 16-year-olds at level 3 or better.
Most students reached expected levels of achievement
Over 70% of 13-year-olds did reach level 2 or above, while 64% of 16-year-olds reached
level 3 or above. Notably, more than 40% of the younger students also reached level 3 or
above, while more than 20% of older students performed at levels 4 or 5.
To be assigned a level 3, the student can typically
• use chemical properties to compare and classify substances
• know that some life forms are unicellular and others are multicellular, and that life
forms are involved in the transfer of energy
• compare gravitational and electrical forces
• compare distances from Earth to the Moon, Sun, and other stars
• analyze experiments and judge their validity
• identify areas where science knowledge and technologies address societal problems
At this level, the student is beginning to integrate principles learned in a variety of earlier
science experiences and apply this understanding to a wide variety of real-world situations.
Public expectations met at most levels
In 2004, a pan-Canadian panel of representatives of various sectors of society determined
a set of expectations to help interpret the results actually achieved by the students.
The 13-year-old students met the expectations of the panel at levels 1, 2, and 3, while
significantly more students were expected to reach levels 4 and 5. Panellists were satisfied
with the performance of 16-year-old students at levels 2, 3, 4, and 5. At level 1, there was
a small but significant difference that indicates that expectations only slightly exceeded
performance.
SAIP results compare well with international assessments
There is consistency of SAIP science results for those jurisdictions where students com-
pleted both this SAIP Science III assessment in 2004 and the most recent Programme
for International Student Assessment (PISA) science in 2003. More specifically, when we
compare the proportion of 16-year-old students achieving at least level 3 in SAIP in each
jurisdiction with the overall mean in science for 15-year-olds in PISA, the pattern of rela-
tive stronger and weaker performance is very similar.
Also, the low performance of students in French-minority-language settings in SAIP,
as exemplified by the high proportion of students achieving level 1 or below, is very
consistent with the overall pattern noted in PISA 2003 science, where results from
French-minority-language students in French-language school systems were statistically
lower than results from students in English-language school systems.
Consistency over time
The following chart illustrates results over time, using the standards expected by the
design team of level 2 or above for most 13-year-olds and level 3 or above for most
16-year-olds. While the results for both age groups show relative consistency or improve-
ment over time, the results for 16-year-olds in 2004 show a decrease since 1999.

Jurisdictional results consistent with earlier assessments
The data provide a useful picture of Canada as a whole, as well as how students achieved in
each participating jurisdiction. While it is not the purpose of the public report to comment
on individual jurisdictional trends, it is worth noting that, in general, the achievement
trends among jurisdictions have remained consistent from one SAIP assessment to the next.
Individual jurisdictions may release reports describing and discussing more fully their own
results of this assessment.
Gender gap continues to close
Happily, the gender differences in achievement that had caused such understandable concern
in science education for many years have almost disappeared. The professional conferences
and curriculum reviews at the jurisdictional level that have been organized specifically to
address the issue seem to have had significant impact.
Results for this assessment show that there is no significant difference in achievement
between males and females at most levels. The overall message given by these data suggests
that the efforts to make science education more relevant to, and more inclusive of, young
women continue to have a positive influence on science achievement. Again, the same trend
is noted on an international level in the report of PISA 2003 Science.
Language differences cause some concerns
As has been observed in past SAIP assessments, while francophone students within
Quebec achieve very well when compared to pan-Canadian results, this is not generally
true for francophone students in minority populations. The difficulties encountered by
students studying and responding in a language different from that in which they live,
work, and play can also be seen in those jurisdictions with a high proportion of students
whose first language is neither English nor French.
Below level 1 achievement
The proportion of students not achieving level 1 is about 30% in several jurisdictions.
This is a serious concern that needs to be looked into further, as the results show that a
significant number of students may not possess a very basic level of science knowledge
and skills.
Context in which science is learned
SAIP has attempted to describe the context in which science is learned. Extensive data
from questionnaires completed by students, their teachers, and their school principals
allowed a picture to be developed of the environment in which students learn in all
17 jurisdictions.
While the qualitative descriptions of the learning context as provided by students, their
teachers, and their schools are indeed interesting, actual statistical correlations between
these factors and student achievement were more difficult to attain. The complex rela-
tionship between student achievement and the many variables that have an impact on
teaching and learning was considered by describing a few correlations between student
achievement and context that were found to be generally consistent across most jurisdic-
tions. Further analysis of these data needs to be undertaken to take full advantage of the
information gathered here.
Some interesting information gathered —
From students
• About 40% of 16-year-olds expect to work eventually in a science- or technology-
related field.
• More than 90% of students report access to a computer at home.
• Almost 50% of 13-year-olds and nearly 60% of 16-year-olds agree that science is
more difficult than other subjects.
• Nearly 60% of all students reported that they enjoy going to school.
From their teachers
• Most teachers agree that their students appreciate their work but are less confident
that society in general appreciates it.
• The average class size is about 25 in most jurisdictions.
• The median age of science teachers is relatively low, reflecting the retirement of many
teachers of long experience.
From their school principals
• Classes for 16-year-olds are more likely to be taught by specialized teachers.
• The range of student abilities is often cited as a limitation on the capacity to provide
instruction.
• More than 90% of schools report high staff morale.
In closing
In these early years of the 21st century, there are few who would question the impor-
tance of ensuring that students acquire a level of scientific literacy and understanding to
enable them to function with comfort and competence in the world in which they live,
work, and play. Once again, the SAIP Science Assessment has provided a valuable snap-
shot of the degree to which this has taken place in Canada and within its provinces and
territories. Jurisdictions will be able to use the information gathered from this assess-
ment and its predecessors to help them make decisions about curriculum and resources
that will provide the best opportunities possible for students to acquire this necessary
level of scientific knowledge and skills.
Further results are available in the public report:SAIPSCIENCEIII(2004).

In addition,detailed data analysis will be available in a technical report to be produced in 2005.

Fortune Magazine recently named
Mr. Barbour the most powerful lobbyist
in Washington, DC. He served two terms
as Chairman of the Republican National
Committee, was director of the White
House Office of Political Affairs under
Ronald Reagan, and chairs The Union for
Freedom and Democracy in the Americas.
On Thursday morning, our featured speaker
will be Geraldine A. Ferraro. Ms. Ferraro
was the first woman in US history to be
nominated as her party’s candidate for Vice
President. Ms. Ferraro, President of G&L
Strategies, is an active participant in US
foreign policy debates and is currently a
political analyst for FOX News. She will
provide her perspective on the new era of
bi-partisanship in Washington, and its
impact on Canada-US economic and
political relations.
Following Ms. Ferraro’s address will be a
series of presentations canvassing issues of
concern to Canadian executives involved in
cross-border transactions by touching on key
political, legal, financial, and energy issues.
At lunch on Thursday, our keynote speaker
is the Right Honourable Brian Mulroney.
Prime Minister Mulroney’s government
negotiated the Canada-US Free Trade
Agreement and the NAFTA. He has been
called the most influential Canadian with
the new Bush administration by Macleans
magazine. His friendships with former
President Bush, Vice President Cheney,
and Secretary of State Powell give him
unique insights into the new administration’s
approach to North American public policy.
The ties that
connect Canada and
the United States
are many and intricate.
As our economies become more and more
integrated, decision makers from each nation
must gain a better understanding of the actions
and sentiments of President George W. Bush’s
administration and the impact these will have
on this enduring and essential relationship.
The Canada-US Executive Summit has
assembled an outstanding group of leading
political, business, and public-sector officials.
The speakers will provide insights into the
Bush administration and perspectives on what
lies ahead in a bi-partisan Washington. More
importantly, they will give their views on what
effect the current state of affairs in Washington
will have on Canadian businesses and public
policy. The confirmed speakers are:
• The Right Honourable Brian Mulroney
• Haley Barbour
• Geraldine A. Ferraro
This summit is an exclusive, invitation-only
event for 100 senior Canadian executives and
policy decision makers. It will be held at the
Hotel Inter-Continental in Toronto from
6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, September 5 to
2:30 p.m. on Thursday, September 6.
On Wednesday evening, there will be a
reception for sponsors and attendees. Opening
remarks from Haley Barbour, Principal,
Barbour, Griffiths and Rogers will follow.

11. I
con’s track record of getting things under control quickly and seam-
lessly is impeccable. Warranty issues, accounts receivable, service
contracts, on-site staff such as cleaners and security, are all issues
and services that fall under the realm of Icon.
What Icon is not!
Unlike most other property managers, Icon is not a company simply
looking to acquire as many buildings as possible. While other property
management companies may boast 20, 30, or 40 plus buildings, it’s
what they don’t tell perspective clients that’s worrisome. They don’t go
into detail about how many clients they have lost due to inconsistent
personnel, rotating property managers, uncontrolled growth, and lack of
attention to smaller projects.
Experience the Icon difference
Controlled growth has always been a key factor in maintaining a consis-
tently high standard of service at every facility in Icon’s portfolio. Icon’s
growth is limited and structured not to exceed its capabilities.
Icon continues to retain its original building portfolio. This fact is a true
testament to Icon’s commitment to service excellence exhibited in over
12 years of business.
Customer service
Icon believes that experience is the key to customer service. They contin-
ue to train promising employees within the company in a well-monitored
and controlled environment. To fortify their commitment to customer
service they have recently appointed a V.P. of customer service.
Icon Property Management Ltd.
Property management at a higher level
Icon Property Management is a
company devoted to providing a
customized management service
to condominiums in the Toronto
area.
A condo building is “only as
good as its property man-
agement” ... Something I’ve
discovered after years of buying
and selling my apartments.
Icon Property Management
is one of the best I’ve ever
encountered. They are profes-
sional, well organized, quick
to respond and very capable
and caring, which is rare these
days. I recently made Queen’s
Harbour my home. I’ve been so
impressed with this building
I just bought another unit for
investment purposes.
Icon’s strong performance was a
major factor in my decision.

12. With time for self-reflection in
peaceful surroundings, addictions
are confronted and lost feelings of
hope are rediscovered.
How does the program work?
Street to Trail organizes hiking trips
of varying duration and levels of
difficulty tailored to the capabilities of
each group. These outings include
hiking, backpacking, camp building,
canoeing, cycling, and snowshoeing.
“I was having a rough time but when I
went on that trip with Paul, it put me
back into action mode.”
said after a Street to Trail canoe trip
Explore Magazine, March 2004
Street to Trail offers new friendships, helps participants to overall improvement in fitness,
and enhances mental and spiritual health. It encourages them to kick old drug and alcohol
problems, escape dysfunctional relationships, try to find work, and gain confidence to take
positive steps toward rehabilitation.
Paul Mackle has found that after a day or two close to nature, people who have felt
marginalized for years begin to feel again that they matter.
“See, I told you. I’m not drinking anymore,” said one hiker.
Toronto Sun, October 2004
How many trips and how many take part?
Nineteen year-round trips are planned for next year and over one hundred people are
expected to participate. More funding will enable more trips.
How can I learn more about the work of Street to Trail?
Visit the Street to Trail Web site (www.street-to-trail.org). Become a member of the asso-
ciation and participate in trips if you wish. The annual fee of $20 gives you regular updates
on activities, membership rights, and the opportunity to help people looking for a chance to
help themselves.

“Knowing there is a quiet
place where I can go in the
outdoors…it gives me a
sort of joy,” said a hiker.

What exactly does Street to Trail do?
• It helps people living on the streets to get away from the
city and join in wilderness trips.
• It restores hope and builds self-reliance.
