This practicum examines the role of secondary dwelling units (secondary suites), as employed by the City of Edmonton, in the implementation of affordable housing policy. It seeks to understand the context in which the City‘s secondary dwelling unit program was developed, the various components of the program, and the impacts of the program. A review of the literature on this topic, a review of key City documents, a review of permit and grant allocation data, a key informant interview, as well as a survey of targeted neighbourhood residents were used to inform this study. Results from the study suggest that while that the program has made a significant contribution to the creation of affordable housing stock in the city and is generally supported by residents, details of the program may not be well understood by the public. Finally, possible future directions for the program and for research are suggested.

Cette thèse est consacrée à l'étude de certaines questions de convergence et de récurrence multiples en théorie ergodique. Nous distinguons les systèmes munis d'une transformation et ceux munis de plusieurs transformations qui commutent. Dans les premiers, le mécanisme de facteurs caractéristiques et les nilsystèmes jouent un rôle important dans l'étude de convergence et de récurrence multiples. À l'aide de ces outils, nous étendons les résultats sur la convergence de moyennes ergodiquesmultiples pondérées de Host et Kra pour le cas linéaire au cas polynômial. En conséquence, nous montrons que pour toute fonction $f$ mesurable bornée sur un système ergodique, la suite $(f(T^n x))$ est universellement bonne pour presque tout $x$. Quand il y a plusieurs transformations qui commutent, à l'aide de la machinerie des systèmes magiques introduite récemment par Host et développée dans cette thèse, nous étendons les résultats sur la convergence de moyennes ergodiques multiples sur les cubes de Host et Kra avec une transformation à plusieurs transformations qui commutent. Nous obtenons aussi un résultat de récurrence multiple quantitatif pour deux transformations qui commutent, similaire en faveur du cas d'une transformation établi par Bergelson, Host et Kra
