“Employee Wellbeing During the Pandemic”
For the past two and a half years, Linda has focused her attention on collecting real-time qualitative and quantitative panel data relating to changes in employee wellbeing during the different stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. This project will analyze this wealth of data with the goal of helping researchers, employees, and policy makers better understand changes in employee wellbeing over time and how to address issues associated with employee wellbeing post-pandemic.
Teaching Achievement Award
François Brouard, Professor, Accounting
“Notes and Cases to Prepare Future Professional Accountants in Taxation and Help Tax Literacy”
Students in BCom/MAcc programs, who are preparing to become Chartered Professional Accountants (CPA) and future citizens, face numerous challenges due to the complexity and constant changes of Canadian tax legislation. However, few published resources are available to summarize and simplify the tax rules. This project aims to offer integrated resources about knowledge (notes) and practical application with real life situations (cases). The notes may also contribute to the tax literacy effort for the community in accessing resources.
Contract Instructor Achievement Award

“As a dedicated part-time professor with a passion for knowledge and learning, I am delighted at the prospect of helping students develop valuable skills for their lives and future careers. I know it is my responsibility to ensure everything I do for my students has the highest degree of excellence. I extend this to my teaching and research to ensure that students understand the material in an engaging manner, not just to pass a test.”
