That the Board write a general letter in support of the need for childcare in Elkford. Elkford is a community within the boundaries of School District 5 (SD5), Southeast Kootenay. According to the 2016 StatsCan Census, Elkford is home to 255 children aged 0 – 9 years old. 60 of these households are identified as being single parent, with a median average of 2.4 occupants, or 1.4 children. Despite the obvious need for licensed childcare in Elkford, at present there are zero licensed facilities in operation.

As local MLA’s for the Thompson Regional Hospital District (TRHD) Board several questions have arisen, and we are looking for clarification to be able to provide accurate answers to our constituents. What is the expected operational date for the Cancer Care Centre? Has the planning for the new Cancer Care Centre started? What is the scope of Cancer treatment services that will be provided in the new Centre, and will said scope be inclusive of at least two linear accelerators? Where will the new Cancer Care Centre be located? Is the money for the planning being provided by Interior Health Authority (IHA) or the Ministry of Health? Who will be the lead agency in this project, Ministry of Health, IHA or BC Cancer? Given previous Cancer Centre’s have been a collaboration between the Province and BC Cancer, is this the intended model for the Kamloops Cancer Care Centre? Given previous Cancer Centre’s were not funded by local Hospital Boards, will the TRHD be expected to commit capital dollars or will the new Cancer Care Centre be funded by the Province and BC Cancer? If the intention is to seek capital dollars from the TRHD, what is the contribution expected to be? Will Hospital Foundations be expected to fundraise for the new Cancer Care Centre?

  • BC Veterinarians Need Your Help Combined
    Hello If you wish to help BC veterinarians address the shortage of veterinarians, you may wish to write your local MLA and ask them to support and increase to the number of BC students trained as veterinarians. Below is a sample email for you to send to your local MLA. You can also add to the email or replace it with your own. After the sample email, on page 2 and 3, is a list of all MLA email addresses to help you to find your MLA contact information. Should you wish to learn more about the shortage of veterinarians and the need for additional BC students to be trained as veterinarians, please scroll down to page 4 to read our summary document. Your help is greatly appreciated! Dear MLA, I wish to add my name to the list of British Columbians who find the shortage of veterinarians in BC unacceptable. We understand that BC can add an additional 20 BC student seats to BC’s regional veterinary college, but that the government declined to do so, citing costs. In the interest of animal health and welfare issues including relief from suffering and unnecessary death, public health, and biosecurity for BC, we ask you to ask the Minister of Advanced Education Anne Kang to fund an additional 20 BC seats at WCVM effective immediately. As a BC resident, I want my voice added as an individual who cares about the health and welfare of animals and who wishes the government to provide funding to help alleviate the shortage of veterinarians in BC.

    From: Rol Fieldwalker [<email address removed>] Sent: March 9, 2016 8:27 PM To: Pacific Northwest LNG / GNL Pacific Northwest (CEAA/ACEE) Subject: *****SPAM***** Re: Pacific Northwest LNG on Lelu Island As any grade 3 student will tell you, by now we all know all the reasons we have to stop using fossil fuel. Communities that are facing the possibility of the end of their way of life are not looking to negotiate a better deal~ whether in the form of local jobs,higher royalties, or better safety standards. More and more communities are simply saying"NO". no to the pipeline, no to fracking, no to the export terminal,no to Arctic drilling, no to the coal trains, no to the oil trains.... neither here nor anywhere else. In other words... no new carbon frontiers. The Lax Kw'alaams First Nation already voted 100% against this project in May, despite an offer of $1.4 billion from Petronas. The Lelu Island Declaration was signed by First Nations leaders from across the Skeena watershed, as well as Grand Chief Stewart Philip of the Union of BC Indian Chiefs, MLAs Jennifer Rice, Doug Donaldson, and Robin Austin, and MP Nathan Cullen, to protect the proposed site – and its salmon – from LNG development. Lelu Island has been occupied by Lax Kw'alaams members since August 2015, who have been working to prevent further work on the rejected project. Madii Lii territory, which the fracked gas pipeline would pass through on the way to Lelu, has been closed to pipeline development by Luutkudziiwus people since Aug.
