Monday, February 6, 2017 10:56 AM To: Officeofthepremier, Office PREM:EX Subject: We Want You to Win Next Election 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. I asked myself: How could a mother, like Chris Clark, not do something vital and proper to help children and youth in care? Why she allows people on disability just 900 dollars a month? How come welfare rates are so low? Why she didn't place money on affordable housing before the election campaign? Why BC has the highest child poverty among all the provinces? You both are just heartless people and your mandarins are too. I have no respect for a government and a bureaucracy that steps on the weakest of our communities. As a mother, grandmother and great grandmother I am ashamed for you all. How dare you follow the heartless advice of your bureaucrats and the board of trades?... A lawyer friend of mine saud that if all is done properly, the whole legal system has to be disbanded and lawyers would not allow that, as well as the lower economic class has no representation or lobby. s.22 PS: My mother has a say that God takes care of heartless people. Remember Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan? Creator is watching you like all of us.

Today the report of Bernard Richard came out on the death Gervais who was under the care of the MCFD at the time of his death. I am appalled at some of the facts that have come out of this report, of course the most important fact is that Alex Gervais was not receiving the care and attention that was due to him by the MCFD and the "caregiver" under who's care he was under. A second fact that concerns me greatly is the fact that his step-mother and an aunt both showed an interest in caring for him, as far as I can see, their show of interest was disregarded by the MCFD. A third fact and certainly not the last, but also one that makes me shake my head, is the amount of money the caregivers are provided to care for children who are under the MCFD's protection (and I am using the word "protection" very lightly in this case, as it certainly WAS NOT the case for Alex Gervais). Alex Gervais disclosed that he had not received enough money for food and clothes while under MCFD's care. Who determines how much money goes to a caregiver? Are there any kind of audits done by MCFD to determine how much money was used in the care of the child? Where did the money go that was provided to the caregiver of Alex Gervais? Why was there no communication by that caregiver and Alex Gervais? Why did the MCFD not know that Alex Gervais was in a hotel, severely depressed? Why was he not provided counselling for his depression? How can a child fall through the cracks when there are rules and regulations very clearly set out? He is not the first child that the MCFD failed. And her is certainly not the first and only child failed by the MCFD with Stephanie Cadieux in charge. Due to this VERY DAMNING report, I am calling for the resignation of Stephanie Cadieux as the Minister of the MCFD. Ms. Cadieux is clearly not the right person to be in charge of such a fragile group of people. Ms. Cadieux has not taken the many reports of Mary Ellen Turpel- Lafond to heart (or action for that matter) and I have my doubts that she will take the recommendations in the Bernard Richard report to heart either. These children deserve better. They need someone looking out for them who takes the job seriously and who lobbies for them. Ms. Cadieux and Ms. Clark are both responsible for these children. Ms. Clark has the power to appoint a Minister who understands that these children are vulnerable and that the Government owes them a higher standard of care than what they have been provided for the last 6 years. In those 6 years of Ms. Cadiuex as the Minister, Alex Gervais (and others) moved from home to home, depressed and uncared for. Page 3 of 62 OOP-2017-70699 The lack of action by this Government is appalling. Something must be done immediately and it must start with a new Minister of MCFD and an apology from Government to the families who are affected by this tragedy and the others that have occurred in the last few years must happen. This information is from the Government's own website. These numbers are too high: Statistics - Children Involved with the Ministry of Children & Family Development The ministry gathers statistics, analyzes them and produces reports on service trends and outcomes associated with services provided to children and families. This information is gathered from the ministry's electronic information system and is updated regularly. The following statistics show the number of fatalities of children in care, as well as those receiving other ministry services (since 2003). Active collection of these statistics have been occurring since 1996. Data collected from 1996-2004 is available upon request.

More needs to be done, this is not acceptable. More reports do not need to be written to provide recommendations. Spend the money on helping our youth, our future. This is your responsibility as ELECTED officials of our community and Province.

  • 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.

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.

We would also like to express our whole-hearted appreciation for the patience and understanding of our staff, student and parent communities who have felt the effects of an extremely challenging period in public education. We appreciate that the 6-year agreement will bring a considerable measure of stability to our public education system. What we further hope, and will continue to work towards locally, is that the years ahead will be used to improve understanding and collaboration to better support student learning and success. The Board has consistently and fully respected the democratic rights and processes that both parties have engaged in throughout this difficult situation. Moving forward, we believe a higher level of commitment to cooperative, open dialogue would be a valuable first step towards re-establishing relationships and confidence in our public education system. For the sake of all students, we expect no less. Respectfully, NORTH VANCOUVER BOARD OF EDUCATION Franci Stratton Chair …/2 -2- cc.

One day after being sworn into office with a massive majority, Premier Gordon Campbell announced a 25 percent personal income tax cut, potentially relinquishing one billion dollars in tax revenue. Seven weeks later, Campbell and his Finance Minister followed up with another billion dollars in business and corporate tax cuts.
