we announce the passing of Avrille Gosling on March 27
and spent the first seven years of her life moving around central and eastern Canada as her father’s career as a pilot dictated
before settling in Victoria in October 1948
graduated from Oak Bay High School and completed her undergraduate degree at the University of Victoria
she went to Squamish to explore a teaching career there
she ended up observing in the classroom of Bill Gosling
They ended up marrying each other in June of 1963
They had all three of their children in Squamish and moved in 1976 to Powell River
where they each continued their careers in education in various schools in the district
Avrille moved back to Victoria and worked in the Saanich school district for a few years
During her earlier life and after her retirement
Right out of high school and even after her mobility began to decline
exploring all four corners of the world on her own
as well as with Ben (her partner of 25 years)
Avrille will be remembered as a kind and giving woman
very independent and living life to its absolute fullest
she was the best conversationalist and listener
and would know (and remember) someone’s life story within 15 minutes of meeting them
Thank you to all the doctors and nurses in Royal Jubilee Hospital who took care of Avrille in her final hours. A celebration of Avrille’s life will be held at the Scottish Community Centre in Victoria on May 10, 2025, from 2 until 4 pm. If you can attend, please RSVP to [email protected] by April 28
In lieu of flowers, donations in Avrille’s memory may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada

Maier-Frawley has acted at the Gauteng Division of the High Court for the past three years
During that time she has had to deal with the Nero-esque figure of former South African Broadcasting Corporation’s (SABC) former chief executive
who was being paid R4.2-million a year while the SABC teetered on the verge of bankruptcy
IN SABC Soc Ltd v SABC Corporation Pension Fund and Others
informed the fund that it was investigating him for misconduct and requested that his pension fund pay-out be stopped
The fund agreed pending the outcome of an urgent application to interdict payment
The SABC sought relief in two parts: first
interim relief to restrain the fund from paying out the moneys described
to set aside an award to Motsoneng by the SABC’s Governance and Nominations Committee
This judgment dealt only with the interim relief sought
Maier-Frawley noted that “[c]ourts have always been inclined to adopt a pragmatic approach in dealing with technical objections” and that a common sense approach to the acceptance of affidavits was required with the true test being whether all the facts pertaining to the matter had been put before the court
She rejected the argument that the SABC had made out a new case in reply
and dismissed a striking out application by the respondents
Maier-Frawley also condoned the late filing of the SABC’s replying affidavit
taking into account that “the issues raised by the matter are of considerable importance
not only to the parties but also to members of the public at large
… That the case evokes the public interest in the light of the fight against corruption in our country permits of no doubt.”
Rejecting an argument that a report by the Public Protector
constituted impermissible hearsay evidence
Maier-Frawley then turned to consider whether the requirements for an interim interdict had been met
“The allegations made in the SABC’s affidavits appear to
point to the fact that Motsoeneng unlawfully received payment of a success fee in the amount of R11 508 549,12”
and that the evidence put forward by the SABC was “sufficient to prima facie point to Motsoeneng’s intentional misappropriation of public funds
The SABC’s allegations support the inference that Motsoeneng knowingly acted in his own self-interest in appropriating to himself
public funds entrusted to his care as public functionary
which caused the SABC to suffer loss,” she found in a coruscating judgment
As no serious challenge had been made to these allegations
She also ruled that the SABC risked suffering irreparable harm if the interdict was not granted and found that the balance of convenience was in favour of the granting of the interdict
Fifty-seven year-old Maier-Frawley holds a BA (1982) and an LLB (1984) from the University of Witwatersrand
In 2013 she obtained a Higher Diploma in Alternative Dispute Resolution (summa cum laude) from the University of Pretoria/Arbitration Foundation of South Africa
She worked for the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) as a prosecutor and senior public prosecutor before joining the Bar in 1990
Advocate Avrille Maier-Frawley is what is called a ‘senior-junior’ member of the Johannesburg Bar
She also has an experience as an attorney and a prosecutor
the Chief Justice asked her why she had not yet attained silk status
Adv Maier-Frawley sketched her challenging circumstances in which
she was first only limited to matrimonial law
and later balanced motherhood and the pressure (and costs) of sustaining an advocate’s practice
meant that her practice was not large or diverse enough for her to qualify for silk based on the current requirements for awarding of silk status
Transformation of the legal profession was a recurring theme throughout this round of interviews and Adv Maier-Frawley was not spared
She was asked about her contribution to transformation
She explained her challenging circumstances but added that
she was able to mentor and refer briefs to black (and women) junior advocates
even when she was out of practice as a full-time mother
Adv Maier-Frawley had dealt with a case of controversial fugitive Radovan Krjecir
Mr Krejcir thanked her for how she handled the case
She was asked about why she thought he did this
She explained that it was likely because she treated him with dignity
Advocate Maier-Frawley was recommended for appointment
Our commitment to bringing transparency to the judicial appointments process in South Africa comes with considerable costs

The 2020 Students’ Union Undergraduate Research Symposium (URS) welcomed 48 undergrad students to present their labour of love research projects
The opportunity to showcase their research came with the opportunity to win awards and cash for their hard work over the past year.
The 15th annual URS was held online due to COVID-19
but that made the symposium more accessible to a wider audience
Participants made five-minute video presentations on YouTube that could be shared with friends
A total of 17 different categories for prizes were available
with a total of $23,000 in cash prizes given to participants
Some of the categories included faculty awards
Office of the Vice-Provost (Libraries and Cultural Research),The Consent Awareness & Sexual Education Club Award
Office of the Vice-President (Research) and more
“The fossil assemblage from my study contained only small and/or young fish and reptiles,” she said
“The absence of adult organisms indicates a seasonal shallow pond and a space where baby fish could grow and develop away from large organisms
Results from my study support the dominant hypothesis that Bukwa was a seasonal pond ecosystem surrounded by forested terrestrial vegetation
This contradicts the image of tropical forests that you might think of when contemplating ancient Eastern Africa
This is important to consider in future research when interpreting the adaptive environments of ancient primates.”
Aiello was excited to be able to present her fascinating project at the URS
adding that the online nature of the URS was great to share her project with family and friends
as well as makes scientific research more accessible in general
“I feel very fortunate to have been able to participate in research safely during a global pandemic when so much has been put on hold or cancelled altogether,” she stated
for all her help and support during my Independent Study and for providing this research opportunity after all my summer research plans abroad were cancelled due to COVID-19.”
Emily Wang took home the Future Alumni Community Impact Award
for her project Advancing ii’taa’poh’to’p: A Quantitative Comparison of Post-Secondary Indigenous Studies Programs
This award is shaped around the Community Building pillar in Wherever Life Takes You
a progressive plan to engage UCalgary alumni.
Wang’s project looked at the core attributes and practices within the Indigenous Studies discipline
which she says she “hope[s] can inform program design at U of C and other institutions […] I was so grateful to have my presentation recognized
and for my experience working in the Indigenous Communities and Organizations lab.”
Roshanne Sihota was the winner of the Program in Undergraduate Research (PURE) Award, which is awarded to a student whose presentation demonstrates excellence in research conducted as a PURE project. Her video is available to watch here
“My research project was about the social implications of gene editing technologies such as CRISPR,” she explained
I was looking at how critical reflection is being used to address some of the social challenges that come with the advancements in gene editing.”
Sihota said that she thinks the URS is a great opportunity to exemplify and promote undergrad research
“This was my very first time presenting research so the process of putting together a presentation in kind of an ‘elevator pitch’ style was a valuable learning experience for me,” she said
“I didn’t really go into the URS with any expectations
I was more so just looking to gain some presentation experience
so I was honestly really surprised when I won an award
Mostly I was just happy because it made me feel like I got the ‘story’ of my research to resonate with somebody.”
Sihota added that she was “super impressed” by everyone’s presentations
saying “there’s some truly special undergraduate research here at U of C
huge props to the SU for being able to accommodate the URS virtually
Even though things looked a bit different this year it was still an amazing learning experience and I’m grateful to have been able to participate.”
The URS winners are listed on the SU’s website, and URS presentations are available on the SU’s YouTube channel to watch

Climate strikes have recently happened in several countries
made possible by the Young Leaders for Environmental Action Federation (YLEAF)
We were inspired by the person who started it all
Greta Thunberg – a young Swedish girl who started protests in her country until she influenced the youth around the world
students and teachers from STEFTI also took part in the event
They made placards and showed it on the streets
they also sent a letter to the Vice Mayor of Tacloban about the situation
we must be cautious about these dangerous things that cause pollution and climate change
Just because we are young doesn’t mean we can’t make a change
Why be part of the pollution if we can be part of the solution
These are the questions that we should ask ourselves
question that relate to the current situation of our planet nowadays
We must take action now because if not now
Filipinos are enduring the worst impacts of climate change
we brought open hearts—and what we learned from their quiet strength changed everything
Filipino communities welcome gov’ oral argument at ICJAO
On the day of national mourning for victims of Severe Tropical Storm Trami (local name Kristine)
Greenpeace reacted to oil and gas giant Shell’s recently reported $6.02bn in quarterly profits and called on President Marcos Jr to demand payment for loss and damages from the planet’s worst climate polluters
