FNever before in BCIT's recent history have there been so many construction projects occurring simultaneously. Besides the major construction projects such as the Connector Building and seismic upgrading to the SWl, most staff are unclear on exactly what all the construction is all about. Some of it — like the installation of fibre optic cables — occurs underground and out of sight. Other projects are on roof tops or inside the walls like the ventilation work in the Inglis Building. For Walter Watkins, director of Physical Plant, the construction boom creates both an exciting time and a taxing time for all staff. "Any assistance staff and faculty can provide to help us get this job done would be appreciated," he said. The construction activity is an outcome of the Campus Master Plan developed three years ago. The plan provided for renovation of existing buildings, construction of new buildings, improvements to the infrastructure and a new system of signage and walkways. This fiscal year over $20 million in major construction and renovation projects are taking place and the Institute is expecting a similar level of construction over the next few years. "Although some of the activity can be disruptive, the final result will be an improved campus that benefits all staff Install wheelchair and students," said Clayton McKinley, ramps vice president of Finance and Administration. ) STONE UNTURNED >E1 Electrical Training Centre Disobied Access upgrade • SW9 lETE, Biotechnology • Willingdon and and Plastics Moscrop corner Re-roof, re-tiie floors, office Upgrade Igndscaping conversions, air-conditioning Family Campaign creates healthy BCIT this Week student endowment fund Tuesday.

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.

  • OOTD April 2018
    Orders of the Day The Publication of the Association of Former MLAs of British Columbia Volume 24, Number 3 April 2018 Social change advocate moves into Gov. House BCHappy has a new Lieutenant Governor Holidays, Janet Austin. Austin is a remarkable community leader and advocate for social change. She has been serving as the Chief Executive Officer of the Metro Vancouver YWCA, a position she has held since 2003. She follows Judith Guichon into Government House to take on what has been, until last year, a largely ceremonial five-year appointment. Guichon made headlines last June when she asked the NDP’s John Horgan to form government after no single party had won a majority. The announcement by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau came March 20 as Governor General Julie Payette paid her first official visit to British Columbia. She was welcomed to Government House by Guichon. It would be Her Honour’s final bow. Incoming Lieutenant Governor Janet Austin Payette signed the guest book at Government House, leaving a sticker of her new coat of arms, which features a white wing to symbolize exploration, liberty and safety. Payette, a former astronaut, was the second Canadian woman to go into space and the first Canadian on board the International Space Station. The Prime Minister and Premier John Horgan thanked the outgoing Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon for her numerous contributions and her work to engage communities, non-profit organizations, and businesses across the province since taking office in 2012. Premier John Horgan and retiring Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon greet continued on Page 4 Governor General Julie Payette on her first official visit to BC.

Speaker Darryl Plecas at the 2017 Association Annual Dinner. More than 100 former MLAs, their spouses and friends packed the dining hall at Government House Sept. 22nd to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Association of Former MLAs of BC. It was a special evening on many levels including touching opening remarks by Her Honour Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon who is at the end of her five-year vice-regal appointment; a short, but powerful message from BC Youth Parliament Premier Chris Coulson; and an impactful polling lesson from the country’s pre-eminent surveyor of public opinion Angus Reid. And, taking it all in from his seat in the audience, was the AFMLABC’s most senior of members, Gordon Gibson, a founding director of the association. BCYP Premier Coulson really nailed the commonality between the youth movement and the AFMLABC which financially supports the BCYP’s annual December sitting in the BC Legislature: “We teach our members that the nature of democracy is in service to our communities … In that vein, there is very much a passing of the torch here tonight." More stories and many more pictures from the Government House event are featured on pages 6 through 11. Under the Distinguished Patronage of Her Honour The Honourable Judith Guichon, OBC Thank You and Miscellany Lieutenant-Governor of British Columbia Orders of the Day is published regularly Dues, Subscriptions and Donations throughout the year, and is circulated to Association members, all MLAs now serving in Gordon Gibson, Vancouver Legislature, other interested individuals and Dave Hayer, Surrey organizations.

  • Agencies and Organizations
    Made In B.C. – Volume VI A History of Postsecondary Education in British Columbia Agencies and Organizations Bob Cowin Douglas College September 2012 Preface Is it really very important to understand how our postsecondary system acquired its current characteristics in order to foster consensus about the best way to move forward? I’m inclined to think it is, but not everyone agrees. In any event, we seem to be busier doing things in postsecondary education than in looking for patterns across those activities or in reflecting as a system on the long-term implications. A symptom of our malaise is the triumph of the public relations agenda. The documents I consult in preparing these historical reports used to be forthright in describing the organizations and, to varying extents, willing to describe some problems and challenges. Not so much anymore. Especially not for documents that are posted on the web for a year or two and then replaced by others with no apparent archiving that the public can access. There are, of course, numerous exceptions, but it seems to be increasingly difficult to find material that is “off message.” The irony is that in a period when accountability, transparency and open government have become buzzwords, I sometimes find it harder to track down recent information than for the bad old days before the information explosion. My tale, though, is not all sorrow and woe. I continue to be amazed at the power of the Internet to bring information to the corner of my desk in suburbia, and at the unexpected little gems that individuals have posted on the web.

  • 1997 ITAC Education and Advocacy Project Final Report Marcia
    Final Report on ITAC Education and Advocacy Project for Kootenay WITT, WETC and the Ministry of Women’s Equality, October 1997: My work began on the ITAC issue when, as a member of the Provincial Apprenticeship Board, representing equity advocacy issues, I spoke up at the initial report from the Minister’s Committee on Governance at the November Board meeting. Several members of the PAB sat on the Minister’s Committee. I said that I felt equity issues had not been well considered, and that the context to address equity issues was missing from their report. I was assured by then Deputy Minister George Ford that “of course it would be effectively dealt with and included.” It came up again and again at subsequent Board meetings, and each time, I was assured it would be included in the final report. When the semi-final report came out on February 11, Equity was not included. I asked that my deep concerns be clearly stated in the Minutes, and I said that I was now being forced to break ranks with the Board and deal with the issue in a political fashion. B I met privately in February with the Minister of Women’s Equality while she was in the Kootenays, and this was one of the issues under discussion, and I asked her for her active support on the ITAC issues. Also in February, I sent a very strong letter to the Ministers responsible, still as member of the PAB, calling the governments commitment to equity into question. As a result, when the Final Report on Governance came out, the “duty to consult with equity seeking groups” and “incorporate their issues into the ITAC agenda” was included.
