Between 1997 and 2010, we conducted a longitudinal project investigating the experiences of lesbian and gay military members and their partners. Little was known about their stories and experiences, and this research begins to fill this gap in the literature.

This study aims to explore what the Canadian Armed Forces is like today for LGBTQIA2S+ soldiers and their families. Do they face discrimination or prejudice in their day to day life? Twenty-five years have passed since CFAO 19-20 was revoked.

The purpose of our study was to examine the care from the perspective of the people receiving it. In this case, we interviewed elderly individuals living in rural New Brunswick. We talked to people from: Cap Pelé, Clair, Connors, Minto, Perth-Andover, Plaster Rock, and Stanley, to name a few.

Many believe that soon, we will face serious issues regarding health and care of an aging population (Brink, 2004). In the Canadian population, baby-boomers represent the largest cohort (Statistics Canada, 2007a) and life expectancy has increased.

Women constitute a small portion of all the firefighters (approximately 4.4%) in Canada. This is the case whether they are volunteer or career firefighters. Research documenting the unique perspective of this minority of Canadian firefighters is nearly absent in the literature.

The purpose of this research is to examine the experiences of informal caregivers in New Brunswick with a view to contributing to the scholarship in the critical social sciences, and to providing evidence-based recommendations for policy and practice in the province.

The histories and identities of Métis are not uniform across Canada (Green, 2011; Rivard, 2017; White & Dyck, 2013), and the histories of the western Métis have been better documented (Andersen, 2014; Friesen & Friesen, 2004; McLean, 1987; Osborne, 2002) than that of the eastern Métis.
