Advocating for \u2018equality of opportunity\u2019 for Canada\u2019s indigenous peoples, they also lay out innovative ideas for how Canada and Canadians \u2013 indigenous and non-indigenous \u2013 can move together toward greater social, political and economic equality. They conclude by saying that sustainable reconciliation must rest on respect for indigenous cultures, political reform, and economic opportunity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio custom35\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Greg Poelzer and Ken S.

With this book, Lacroix and Maheu argue that research universities must find an equilibrium between state regulation and academic autonomy, which is itself located at the intersection between bold university leadership, imaginative government policies and support from private industry. The authors conclude that if Canada wants to remain competitive globally, it must foster a knowledge-based economy that effectively trains and retains PhD graduates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio custom35\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Robert Lacroix and Louis Maheu, &quot;Les Grandes Universit\u00e9s de Recherche&quot; - Donner Prize 2015 Shortlist\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7wBCQxmuMRM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:17px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image custom16\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"199\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/donnerbookprize.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/1248-199x300.jpg\" alt=\"BACK TO THE WELL: RETHINKING THE FUTURE OF WATER\" class=\"wp-image-2651\" srcset=\"https:\/\/donnerbookprize.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/1248-199x300.jpg 199w, https:\/\/donnerbookprize.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/1248-768x1159.jpg 768w, https:\/\/donnerbookprize.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/1248-679x1024.jpg 679w, https:\/\/donnerbookprize.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/1248.jpg 1839w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align:left\"> <strong>Back to the Well: Rethinking the Future of Water<\/strong><br><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"> Marq de Villiers<br>(Goose Lane Editions)<br><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:left\" class=\"custom7\"> <br>Drought, floods, and contaminated fresh water crises around the globe continue to bring the critical issue of water to the forefront of the public consciousness. In this refreshing and clear-eyed examination of the fate and future of water, de Villiers controversially suggests that there is no global water crisis. Instead, he proposes that water problems are fundamentally local and regional in nature, and are therefore most effectively addressed through local grassroots solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio custom35\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Marq de Villiers, &quot;Back to the Well&quot; - Donner Prize 2015 Shortlist\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jmli6vvMFFY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:34px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 style=\"text-align:center\" class=\"custom13 wp-block-heading\">2015 Donner Jury<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align:left\"> A.
