TORONTO The magazine long known as the Ryerson Review of Journalism is temporarily removing Ryerson from its name. The biannual magazine published by the Ryerson School of Journalism will place brackets in front of its name, going by the 1/8 3/8 Review of Journalism, the Review, or the 1/8 3/8 RJ until the end of the winter semester. The move comes after the school of journalism announced in December it would review the names of its two student publications the Review and the Ryersonian given their namesake s legacy. Egerton Ryerson was an architect of Canada s residential school system, which sought to convert and assimilate Indigenous children into Canadian culture and saw them suffer widespread physical and sexual abuse.

As of next Monday, the Province of Saskatchewan will be discontinuing the practice of birth alerts.
Birth alerts are notifications that would be sent to a mother’s file prior to labour if the mother was deemed by case workers or hospital staff as unfit to care for her child. The child then could be seized by officials from the Ministry of Social Services.
The discontinuation of the practice aligns with recommendations from the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls Inquiry, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action and the federal Indigenous child welfare legislation, according to a statement by Janice Colquhoun, executive director Indigenous Services with Child and Family Programs at the ministry.
