On older person/place transformations: Towards a more‐than‐representational geography of aging in rural Canada
The spatial variability of population aging in rural areas of Canada, and the demographic processes that underlie these areal patterns, are reasonably well understood. Research to date emphasizes processes of population redistribution (e.g., net out‐migration), regional economic change (e.g., resource‐based economic restructuring), and chronologically‐centred models of bodily decline as the major features of population aging in rural contexts. Th…

Cognitive Dissonance in Social Work
Cognitive dissonance is a state of tension occurring when a person holds two psychologically inconsistent cognitions. For this study, 21 social workers who facilitate transracial adoption plans for Aboriginal children in British Columbia were interviewed: 1) Do social workers who facilitate transracial adoption plans for Aboriginal children experience cognitive dissonance? If so, in what ways? 2) How does cognitive dissonance impact them? 3) In w…
Disablement as inveterate condition: Living with habitual ableism in Prince George, British Columbia
Key Messages Disablement is an inveterate condition of Prince George that has played a large role in the creation of a disabling environment. The most important factor in the construction of a disabling environment is ableism, as expressed through social attitudes, practices, and interactions. The lived experience of (dis)Ability in Prince George is reinforced by the ways in which local decision‐makers respond to conditions of resource‐dependence…
Place integration through efforts to support healthy aging in resource frontier communities: The role of voluntary sector leadership
Growing old in resource communities: Exploring the links among voluntarism, aging, and community development
This article addresses the implications of “resource frontier aging” with a particular emphasis on understanding the role of the voluntary sector in supporting older people living in resource hinterland regions, and in sustaining economic and social development in their communities. Informed by recent calls for greater attention to the diverse experiences of rural aging, individually and collectively, and drawing on previous research on voluntari…

Appropriate Engagement and Nutrition Education on Reserve: Lessons Learned from the Takla Lake First Nation in Northern BC
Concerns about living conditions on First Nations1 reserves are attracting a great deal of attention from public health practitioners and researchers looking to design and implement measures to improve and promote health. Issues related to geographic isolation, low socioeconomic status, and threats to traditional practices are known to contribute to poor health outcomes, especially amongst Aboriginal youth. Research and educational programs are n…

Providers’ perceptions of Aboriginal palliative care in British Columbia’s rural interior: Providers’ perceptions of Aboriginal palliative care
Aboriginal Canadians experience a disproportionate burden of ill-health and have endured a history of racism in accessing and using health care. Meanwhile, this population is rapidly growing, resulting in an urgent need to facilitate better quality of living and dying in many ways, including through enhancing (cultural) access to palliative care. In this article, we report the findings from a qualitative case study undertaken in rural British Col…
“It’s not necessarily the distance on the map…”: Using place as an analytic tool to elucidate geographic issues central to rural palliative care
Unfolding dialogues about gender, care and ‘the north’: An introduction
This paper introduces a special themed section which arose out of a successful symposium, Caring for the North: Gender, Care and Northern Places, held in 2006 at the University of Northern British Columbia, Canada. Considering feminist and geographical research on care, we argue (1) that feminist perspectives have provided key developments for thinking about care, and (2) that care research must take place seriously to allow for both specificity …

Offloading social care responsibilities: Recent experiences of local voluntary organisations in a remote urban centre in British Columbia, Canada
Services offered by voluntary organisations are an integral but often overlooked component of health and social care. Of late, there has been a renewed interest in voluntary welfare provision as a viable alternative to state and market. Recent developments in welfare provision in Canada appear to have brought greater social care roles for the voluntary sector at the same time as new and arguably more restrictive funding and accountability mechani…

Cross-district utilization of general hospital care in Nova Scotia: Policy and service delivery implications for rural districts
The greying of resource communities in northern British Columbia: Implications for health care delivery in already‐underserviced communities
The delivery of ‘rural’ health care services has long confronted the geographic problems of distance, low user densities, low‐order facilities and caregiver shortages. As a result, rural and remote communities across Canada have struggled with health care delivery. For rural and remote communities in resource hinterlands, population ageing driven by industrial restructuring presents a significant departure from past experience. Drawing on example…
Hospital restructuring in smaller urban Ontario settings: Unwritten rules and uncertain relations
Important changes are underway in the management and provision of welfare service activities in advanced capitalist societies as governments scale back their responsibilities and commitments to social security and health care. In order to understand the processes by which the reform imperatives of the central state are implemented at the local level, it is necessary to account for particular organizational and place‐based contingencies which infl…
