The University of British Columbia (UBC) and the British Columbia Research Incorporated (BCRI) collaborated to design a fishing vessel suitable for use on the west coast of Canada. This vessel, called the UBC Series parent hull form, was designed to have a large aft deck area and a volumetric coefficient comparable to those of modern Canadian fishing vessels. The resistance characteristics of this hull were improved without compromising on functionality and usable space. A resistance algorithm developed from the results for a systematic series of low-L/B displacement-type vessels, the UBC Series, was previously published (Calisal&McGreer, 1993). However, during the design process, the seakeeping performance of the vessel was never addressed. This paper describes the seakeeping performance of the UBC series in head seas. An algorithm, developed from the results of the model tests, can be used to calculate the seakeeping response of similar low L/B vessels. To calibrate the seakeeping measurement procedure, tank instrumentation, and data collection system, the ITTC Standard Seakeeping hull form (the S-175 hull form) was tested and the results were compared against published results for this hull form. The same techniques used for the standard hull form were then used to measure the seakeeping performance of the UBC Series. Possible application of the algorithm for non-UBC Series forms is also discussed.

Phyllis Webb, OC is a Canadian poet, teacher, and broadcaster. She was born in Victoria, British Columbia and attended the University of British Columbia and McGill University. She is the author of numerous books of poetry, a selection of prose, and a collection of broadcast scripts, essays and reviews published as Talking (1982). Her first collection of poems was published alongside work by Eli Mandel and Gael Turnbull in Trio (1954). Webb’s first full-length collection, Even Your Right Eye (1956) was followed by The Sea is Also a Garden (1962). She began working at CBC Toronto in 1964 and acted as the producer of the ‘Ideas’ programme from 1967–1969. Her 1965 collection Naked Poems marked a point of departure with its compact forms and erotic evocation of lesbian desire. After returning to the West Coast, Webb did not publish another full-length collection until Wilson’s Bowl (1980). She won the Governor General’s Award for The Vision Tree (1982). Webb’s interest in the Persian ghazal form inspired Sunday Water: Thirteen Anti-Ghazals (1982) and Water and Light: Ghazals and Anti-Ghazals (1984). Her consistent concern with form manifests itself in her formal experimentation and her meticulous crafting of poems.

Purpose – Universities can provide a leadership role to develop and mobilize knowledge to meet societal needs. In fulfilling this mission, universities can also serve as agents of sustainable development on campus and in communities they serve. The purpose of this article is to describe the drivers that have advanced the University of British Columbia Okanagan campus' operational and academic sustainability objectives; the initiatives and partnerships developed on campus and in the community in response to these drivers; and the outcomes and lessons learned. Design/methodology/approach – This article summarizes the experience of the University of British Columbia Okanagan campus in leveraging key drivers to develop sustainability initiatives and partnerships for greater operational efficiencies, cost savings, environmental stewardship and applied research. The university's leadership commitment to sustainability, economic opportunities and provincial legislative requirements are among the drivers discussed. This paper also provides an innovative partnership framework to support sustainable community development. Findings – Drivers of sustainability in higher education can contribute to the development of sustainability initiatives and partnerships that benefit institutions and communities and achieve operational and academic sustainability mandates. Practical implications – This article provides information that can be applied by institutions of higher education to advance sustainability within the context of current economic conditions and societal needs. Originality/value – The experience of the campus and the partnership framework presented in this paper is original. The framework provides a mechanism to engage students, faculty and the community in sustainable community development research. Key insights from multiple perspectives and lessons learned are shared.
