canada Canadian Blood Services research engineer applies network modelling techniques and mentorship skills to benefit Canada’s Lifeline By www.blood.ca Published On :: Tue, 22 Oct 2024 15:13:20 +0000 Canadian Blood Services research engineer applies network modelling techniques and mentorship skills to benefit Canada’s Lifeline Plasma Stem Cells Transfusion Blood Tuesday, October 22, 2024 Dr. Emily Freeman Dr. John Blake is a research engineer at Canadian Blood Services and a Professor in the Department of Industrial Engineering at Dalhousie University. Based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Dr. Blake and his trainees use engineering principles and various computer-based optimization techniques to inform large scale decisions at Canadian Blood Services. Applying network modelling to biologics To some, it may be surprising to learn that there is such opportunity to integrate engineering into the health-care focused setting of Canadian Blood Services. However, as Dr. Blake explains, the same engineering principles that apply to the development and quality assurance of other products also apply to biologics such as blood, stem cells and organs. One of these classic engineering approaches currently applied to improving operations at Canadian Blood Services is network modelling. Network modelling is a computer-based method that creates a virtual representation of objects and their relation to each other. The resulting models are particularly useful for maintaining adaptability in the collection of blood donations, as well as the distribution and inventory management strategies that allow Canadian Blood Services to remain a safe and reliable provider of life-saving products. Dr. Blake making friends while walking the Camino de Santiago in Spain Contributing to efficiency and sustainability in Canada’s Lifeline For Dr. Blake’s team, modelling is not about the data acquired but rather how they can turn existing data into real life change. Part of this approach is ensuring that Canadian Blood Services is asking the right questions when it comes to allocating resources. For example, Dr. Blake has worked on models to assess how changing stem cell donor recruitment will affect the number of matches for Canadian patients. By modelling things such as recruitment approaches, Dr. Blake’s work assists Canadian Blood Services to consistently identify ways to improve Canada’s Lifeline. Recently, Dr. Blake has also been applying this method to optimize the number and location of mobile and permanent donor facilities across the nation. This redesign of the donation facility network will address the growing demand for donations by bringing Canadian Blood Services’ facilities closer to the donors. “I have waited my entire career for a problem of this type – it is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity.” Dr. John Blake, Canadian Blood Services Research Engineer Securing the future of Canada’s Lifeline To sustain a safe and effective blood system in Canada for years to come, network modelling and optimization is a never-ending process. This is one of the reasons that Dr. Blake is committed to securing the future of transfusion and transplantation systems by training and mentoring the next generation of engineers. In fact, seeing his former students join Canadian Blood Services and dedicate their talents to improving the future of Canada’s Lifeline is one of Dr. Blake’s proudest achievements. One of Dr. Blake’s former students, Matt Nelson, is now an industrial engineer at Canadian Blood Services. “In my role, I use systematic thinking to build and run complex models; collect and analyze the required data; produce useful results; and explain these results to non-technical leaders on a regular basis,” Matt says. Recently, Matt contributed to the launch and expansion of pathogen-reduced platelets, a new product that was implemented across Canadian Blood Services production sites starting in 2022. The implementation of pathogen-reduced platelets has provided an additional layer of safety for recipients by reducing the risk of potential transfusion-transmitted pathogens without compromising the quality of the component. Matt credited Dr. Blake in helping him develop the necessary skills he now dedicates to safeguarding Canada’s Lifeline: “Dr. Blake was the professor who introduced me to the uses of simulation to understand complex non-linear systems. This type of system is very common in situations that have a lot of variability – like the blood system – and simulation allows for exploration of the response of the system to changes.” Matt Nelson, Canadian Blood Services Industrial Engineer Over the years, Dr. Blake’s ongoing modelling work and mentorship activities have also led to many recognitions and awards, but he is most proud of being recognized as Professor of the Year by Dalhousie Undergraduate students, and with awards for his contributions to the Canadian Operational Research Society. He has even the earned the distinction of being Dalhousie’s first engineer to be awarded grant funding from the tri-council agency, Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC). “I am proud to work on projects that have a measurable impact on people’s health and well-being,” Dr. Blake says. “I am forever grateful to Dr. Dana Devine for first giving me the opportunity to serve Canadians in this role at Canadian Blood Services.” Canadian Blood Services – Driving world-class innovation Through discovery, development and applied research, Canadian Blood Services drives world-class innovation in blood transfusion, cellular therapy and transplantation—bringing clarity and insight to an increasingly complex healthcare future. Our dedicated research team and extended network of partners engage in exploratory and applied research to create new knowledge, inform and enhance best practices, contribute to the development of new services and technologies, and build capacity through training and collaboration.

canada Filling The Labour Gaps The Key To A Thriving Tourism Industry In Canada By destinationsinternational.org Published On :: Wed, 30 Oct 2024 15:35:42 +0000 Filling The Labour Gaps The Key To A Thriving Tourism Industry In Canada jhammond@desti… Wed, 10/30/2024 - 15:35 Image Off At a time when Canadian youth, newcomers, and members of underrepresented communities face record levels of unemployment, our sector is presented with a unique opportunity. We have a chance to transform our workforce, improve the quality of life of every Canadian, and make a positive impact that goes beyond an economic contribution. We must promote the rewarding and long-term career paths the tourism sector provides to attract and retain the next generation of Canada’s talented workforce. Nik Mills 4 min read October 30, 2024 Tourism is, at its core, about people. It’s powered by the connections we make, the stories we share, and the experiences we create together. From the dedicated hospitality workers who welcome travellers with warmth, to the local artisans and guides who bring our culture to life, it’s the people behind the scenes who truly make tourism thrive. Every journey is enriched by the unique contributions of individuals who are passionate about showcasing their communities and welcoming visitors from around the world. Employment in the tourism sector remains lower than it was before the pandemic. According to the most recent annual data, employment levels for several advanced career positions in tourism and hospitality are dramatically lower than in 2019. Air traffic controllers are down 33 per cent, executive housekeepers and hospitality workers are down 31 per cent, and for conference and event planners, employment is down 19 per cent. At a time when Canadian youth, newcomers, and members of underrepresented communities face record levels of unemployment, our sector is presented with a unique opportunity. We have a chance to transform our workforce, improve the quality of life of every Canadian, and make a positive impact that goes beyond an economic contribution. We must promote the rewarding and long-term career paths the tourism sector provides to attract and retain the next generation of Canada’s talented workforce. As an industry, we must plug the gaps that hamper productivity and threaten to damage Canada’s reputation as a tourism destination. Strategic public investment is required to promote tourism as a vocation and enhance its labour force with talent. This is best achieved through meaningful partnerships—not only within our sector but with the federal government. These partnerships will be the cornerstone of our industry’s success. To this end, TIAC is working with Restaurants Canada, the Hotel Association of Canada, and Tourism HR Canada to call on the federal government to fund a national marketing campaign through a three-year, $5-million investment. This campaign promotes tourism as a career among young Canadians. It builds on the work that THRC has initiated with its Discover Tourism program, which provides valuable career planning, curriculum, and HR tools to job seekers, employers, and educators. The logic underpinning this program presupposes that today’s youth are unaware of the career possibilities the tourism industry presents and the satisfaction that comes from showcasing Canada to its visitors. Nascent workers, read about the Discover Tourism program and take advantage of the resources available to you. Careers in tourism are varied and fulfilling; your perusal of these programs could lead you to your dream job. While we build our future workforce, we must leverage existing industry supports and government programs such as THRC’s Ready to Work program, which helps businesses recruit job seekers and integrate newcomers into a career in tourism. Its internships—a composite of in-class education and workplace training—facilitate job-readiness and career planning. Over the years, it has provided under-represented communities with career options and growth opportunities in the tourism sector by providing them access to certification programs (e.g., WHMIS, CPR, responsible alcohol service) that will open up new pathways in their pursuit of employment. The Economic Mobility Pathways Pilot is an express-entry program that pairs employers with skilled newcomers, asylum seekers, and refugees to Canada. Such opportunities enable these individuals to flourish and ensure their new lives an auspicious start. It also makes available to employers qualified candidates whose background and education could provide unique skillsets and perspectives. Even without a firm job offer, talented refugees may nevertheless gain entry into Canada and begin their new life, with employment opportunities coming as they settle into the country. Tourism operators suffering from the labour gap are encouraged to take advantage of this program that is mutually beneficial for themselves and those skilled workers who hope to call Canada home. As global demand for tourism rises, Canada must remain a top-tier destination. To do so, the fundamental needs of the sector must be met for it to thrive in the years ahead. By investing in our people and forging strong and reliable partnerships, we can ensure that Canada’s tourism industry does not just survive, but truly flourishes. Together, we can build a future that benefits our economy, our communities, and everyone involved in this wonderful sector.
