  • FORSAKEN – the REPORT of the Missing Women Commission of Inquiry
    A FINAL STATUS UPDATE REPORT IN RESPONSE TO: FORSAKEN – THE REPORT OF The Missing Women Commission of Inquiry December 2014 A FINAL STATUS UPDATE REPORT IN RESPONSE TO: FORSAKEN – The Report of The Missing Women Commission of Inquiry MESSAGE from the MINISTER Government’s response to the Missing Women Commission of Inquiry (MWCI) report has been both a top priority for the Ministry of Justice and one of my personal priorities as Minister. The recommendations in the report have been a catalyst for a collaborative effort between government and other organizations that work to protect vulnerable women and girls in this province. We recognize that the families of the victims continue to feel the loss experienced by this tragedy and this, along with wanting to prevent any similar kind of incidents in the future, has kept us moving forward to take action. It has also guided our response to the recommendations and it was the reason for compensating the children of the women who are named in the MWCI Report. We hope this compensation will be used to enhance their lives in the present and future. Overall, the Province has taken significant action on the recommendations, with work underway or complete on more than 75% of them. We have put urgency on those recommendations that support responsive actions, such as expanding services, enhancing policy and practice, and increasing knowledge of service providers. Already, the results of these actions are improving the lives of vulnerable women across the province. While this may be our final official update report, I want to be very clear that this work will continue and must not end.

  • Towards More Effective Police Oversight
    Towards More Effective Police Oversight Presented to the City of Vancouver Peace and Justice Committee September 2004 By David Eby, Jen Metcalfe, John Richardson and Deven Singhal “If the [Office of the Police Complaints Commissioner] is restricted to making decisions based solely on the investigation provided by the police, then in my view, the concept of civilian oversight is severely compromised.” Dirk Ryneveld, BC Police Complaints Commissioner “Policing is first and foremost a service to the public; the more it is at odds with the composition and values of the public, the less well it works.” Max Yalden, Chief Commissioner of the Canadian Human Rights Commission "The public is demanding accountability of the police. I do not think that the demands of the public are unreasonable...In any democratic society based on the rule of law and responsible government, it is fundamental that police independence be balanced with accountability." Justice Wally Oppal, Commissioner of Inquiry on Policing in BC Introduction Policing in Canada and in democracies around the world is in the midst of a transformation. Police departments are becoming modern service organizations that answer not only to elected officials such as mayors and MLAs, but also directly to the individual citizens they serve. The best police departments are proving that respectful treatment of all citizens is consistent with, and in fact complementary to, effective police tactics against crime. This report is an exploration of the current mechanisms used to ensure that Vancouver Police Department (VPD) officers act with integrity, professionalism and respect towards the communities they serve. Three areas are examined: a) Complaint investigation and resolution, b) Training and testing, and c) Governance.

While his impressive rise is a testament to Canada’s multicultural ethos, Jagmeet is controversial within India and has a testy relationship with its government. His activism around India’s 1984 anti- Sikh pogroms has exposed tensions between Punjabi and diaspora Sikhs, and within the Sikh diaspora itself. In his quest to become the Canadian prime minister, Jagmeet will have to contend with his country’s turbulent relationship with religious minorities, his party’s inconsistent electoral fortunes and certain violent elements of Sikh politics. perspectives 26 18 politics 18 Temple Run Will Karnataka’s real, devout Hindus please stand up? narayana a 50 satire 22 A Modest Proposal For preventing the children of poor people in religion India from being a burden to their parents or 50 Bearing The Cross the economy, and for making them beneficial Pakistan’s Christians struggle to keep the faith to the public sarah eleazar kushanava choudhury FEBRUARY 2018 3 the lede 8 communities 8 A Pack of Troubles 64 How Spiti is coping with its stray-dog problem bhanu sridharan agriculture 12 Barren Land A saffron farmer’s take on crop photo essay / environment failure in Kashmir 64 The Great qazi wasif Outdoors The picnicking subculture communities in eastern India 14 Shifting Impressions arko datto What the preservation of a Roma identity entails alexander hurst books 94 arts 78 Out of Focus What Raghubir Singh did not see ratik asokan 78 the bookshelf 92 showcase 94 NOTE TO READERS: THE “SPONSORED FEATURES” ON PAGES 48–49 AND 62–63 editor’s pick 98 ARE PAID ADVERTISING CONTENT.

The complaint outlined aspects of a Service or Policy complaint and was therefore forwarded to the Vancouver Police Board (the Board) on July 24, 2019. By way of letter dated July 29, 2019, the OPCC and Pivot were advised that the Vancouver Police Board would formally consider this complaint at their Service and Policy Complaint Committee meeting on October 17, 2019. This letter did not specify what, if any, decision the Board had made pursuant to section 171(1) of the Police Act. Section 171(1) of the Act states that upon receiving a copy of the complaint, the Board, having authority over the municipal police department to which the complaint relates, must promptly do one or more of the following: (a) Request that the chief constable of that municipal police department investigate and report on the complaint; (b) Initiate a study concerning the complaint; (c) Initiate an investigation into the complaint; (d) Dismiss the complaint with reasons; and/or (e) Take any other course of action the board considers necessary to respond adequately to the complaint. In a letter dated August 28, 2019, and authored by Stephanie Johanssen, Executive Director of the Vancouver Police Board, the relevant parties were advised that the complaint was “still under investigation” and would not be completed in time for the meeting scheduled for October 17, 2019.
