    From: s.22 Sent: Monday, February 6, 2017 10:56 AM To: OfficeofthePremier, Office PREM:EX Subject: We want you to win next election. Stories like this coming out is going to cost votes Premier. http://www.castanetnet/edition/news-story-188045-3-.htm#188045 From: s'22 Sent: Tuesday, February 7, 2017 6:18 AM To: OfficeofthePremier, Office PREM:EX; Minister, MCF MCF:EX Cc: [email protected] Subject: Alex Gervais death Hi: I am appalled by the lies and controversies your government created with Mary Ellen Turpel Lafond, when she presented the same concerns about your government actually doing very little to address the issues of children and youth in care of your so called ministry/government. To say that this report is balanced, is a slap in the face of the public that pays your wages with our taxes dollars. I follow the issues of youth and children in care and what you have done is wrong, cruel and borderline criminal. Throughout Gordon and your government we have had just lies, lies, and lies regarding this issue. On top of it you tried to make Mary Ellen Turpel Lafond look bad. We the public know better. You will be out of the premier's office and MS. Cadieux will be gone (thank God), however the next premier will have to deal with many permanent crisis created by your heartless decisions and narrow minded actions. As a member of this society I am short of words to express myself. Upon reading about this young man's death I could not help but cry.

  • Message from the President
    Message from the President Congratulations to the events committee for hosting the Women in Media panel discussion in February. It was both inspiring and insightful. Member Bridgitte Anderson did a fantastic job moderating and exploring the constantly changing roles women hold in journalism today. Like many of you, yet another virtual meeting at the end of a long day is sometimes the last thing I feel I need, but this session left me invigorated and thankful yet again for being a member of this community of incredible women. Virtual meetings offer us the ability to create sessions that are more accessible and frankly less consuming of our time as we search for ways to connect. I will be at the front of the line cheering when it is deemed safe to meet in person once again – and I hope the option of grabbing a glass of my favourite beverage, getting comfy and clicking a link to join powerful discussions will not disappear completely. That is the reason I jumped at the chance to sign up for IWF Global’s 2021 Virtual Cornerstone Conference, Change in the Face of Challenge, March 25th with Behind the Scenes (March 24) and Dine Arounds (March 18) all artfully scheduled to accommodate global time zones. Sessions will also be available following the conference for all those who register. IWF Global has opened up the events portal to highlight all the global forum activities that are open to members. Please check them out and register if you are interested in attending. Finally, further in this newsletter you will find a call out for volunteers to build out small group engagement sessions, based on members’ passions and interests.

  • Ujjal Dosanjh: B.C.'S Indian-Born Premier
    Contents Ujjal Dosanjh: B.C.'s Indian-Born Premier In an attempt to hang onto power and to stage a comeback in the court of public opinion after the resignation of Glen Clark, the beleaguered NDP government of British Columbia picks Ujjal Dosanjh as party leader and premier. The former attorney general of the province was selected following a process that itself was not without controversy. As a Canadian pioneer, Dosanjh becomes the first Indian-born head of government in Canada. A role model as well, the new premier has traveled far to a nation that early in the 1900s restricted Indian immigration by an order-in-council. Ironically, Dosanjh, no stranger to controversy and personal struggle, is the grandson of a revolutionary who was jailed by the British during India s fight for independence.

RECOMMENDATION / ACTION: [All Directors – Corporate Weighted] That the Regional District purchase an annual subscription (10 issues) of the Composite Public Affairs newsletter for an amount of $87 including GST. BACKGROUND/RATIONALE: I feel the newsletter is worthwhile for the Board’s reference. ATTACHMENTS: January 4, 2019 issue Dept. Head: CAO: Page 1 of 1 January 31, 2019 R-2 Composite Public Affairs Inc. January 4, 2019 Karen Goodings Peace River Regional District Box 810 Dawson Creek, BC V1G 4H8 Dear Karen, It is my pleasure to provide you with a complimentary issue of our new political newsletter, The Composite Advisor. British Columbia today is in the midst of an exciting political drama — one that may last for the next many months, or (as I believe) the next several years. At present, a New Democratic Party government led by Premier John Horgan and supported by Andrew Weaver's Green Party, holds a narrow advantage in the Legislative Assembly. And after 16 years in power, the long-governing BC Liberals now sit on the opposition benches with a relatively-new leader in Andrew Wilkinson. B.C.'s next general-election is scheduled for October 2021, almost three years from now, but as the old saying goes: 'The only thing certain, is uncertainty." (The best political quote in this regard may have been by British Prime Minister Harold MacMillan who, asked by a reporter what might transpire to change his government's course of action, replied: "Events, dear boy, events." New research suggests that MacMillan never said it — but it's still a great quote!) Composite Public Affairs Inc.

  • August 12, 2015 the Honourable Coralee Oakes Minister of Small
    August 12, 2015 The Honourable Coralee Oakes Minister of Small Business, Red-Tape Reduction, and Minister Responsible for the LDB Room 124, Parliament Buildings Victoria, BC V8V 1X4 VIA EMAIL: [email protected] Dear Minister Oakes, Congratulations on your recent appointment and new responsibilities. We are very much looking forward to working with you to help build a thriving and sustainable private liquor industry in British Columbia. On behalf of our respective associations, we would like to bring to your attention a BC Liquor Distribution Branch (BCLDB) pricing practice that is causing significant uncertainty and margin erosion to our industry. WHO WE ARE Together, our associations represent nearly $17 billion in economic activity and 340,000 hospitality jobs. We are: BC Import Vintners & Spirits Association (IVSA) Representing $1 billion in beverage sales and several thousand employees, Alliance of Beverage Licensees (ABLE BC) Representing $1.6 billion in liquor sales and 100,000 employees in BC’s pubs, bars, and private liquor stores, BC Hotel Association Representing BC’s $3.2 billion hotel industry that employs 60,000 people, BC Restaurants and Foodservices Association (BCRFA) and Restaurants Canada Who together represent an $11 billion industry with 178,000 employees. OUR CHALLENGE When purchasing beverage alcohol products for resale, BC’s hospitality industry is required to purchase products exclusively from BC Liquor Stores (BCLS) at BCLS retail prices. We are deeply concerned that BCLS retail mark-ups are not transparent, they can (and often do) change monthly without warning, and they are not consistent from one product to another.
