The Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary will be advanced one day, from 15 August to 14 August.] REQUESTING MASS INTENTIONS What does it mean to have a Mass “offered” for someone? The published intention (and announced on weekdays), and at the heart of the priest’s prayer, may be for the living, the deceased, in thanksgiving for grace received, and also for special occasions (anniversaries or birthdays). The parish office is stocked with Mass Cards for these intentions which may be sent to a surviving family or to the person for whom the Mass is offered. All parishioners may request Mass intentions, though we do try to keep a couple of openings each week on the calendar, in case there are requests for someone who is ill, heading for surgery, wedding anniversary, etc. If we have too many Masses we can support some of the smaller missions and parishes by forwarding Mass intentions to them for a more timely offering of the Mass. Please remember that no date is absolutely guaranteed. There may be a Funeral Mass, or the pastor may be away. Nearby dates will allow for a prompt re-scheduling. Also, Saturday 5 PM and Sunday 8:30 AM Masses are listed in consecutive bulletins, but are unannounced at Mass. There are plenty of open dates in the last half of 2020.

In other words, do all that we reasonably can even if there is no perfect protection from the virus. PREPARING TO ATTEND SUNDAY MASS, PLEASE OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING: 1. Registration is required for attendance at all of the Masses so that we can limit the congregation to a count of 50. The contact information, which you provide by phone, email, or on-line registration, is retained in our parish office for 30 days. Should there be an outbreak, the Interior Health Authority and the B.C. Ministry of Health need to be able to contact people who may have been infected. Bishop Gregory Bitmann has continued the dispensation from the obligation to attend SundayMass. What that means is that if you are not confident in the safety of environments outside of your home, you need not heroically venture out. There are three ways to register for one of the three Masses, with your name and telephone number: by on-line registration link (each person individually, include your name and telephone number in the box). From the parish office, you will receive an email with a new link each week, by Monday morning, for the following weekend Masses. by email, including your name and telephone number, to the parish office [email protected] by telephone, Monday to Friday 9:30 AM to 12 Noon (we will also check the voicemail) At the church, please confirm your registration with the usher in the church foyer to verify your attendance. It is helpful if people avoid arriving just a few minutes before Mass. The only entrance is through the main door (near the confessional). Ushers will be alert if the wheel-chair ramp is needed. Hand sanitizer is to be used when entering and exiting the church. 2. Wear a mask and wash and sanitize hands regularly. 3. Stay at home if you are not well, and stay at home if your health is compromised with other conditions and you feel vulnerable to germs. 4. Stay apart from each other by 2 meters. 5. At the door of the church the usher will greet you and direct you to the registration table. Verify your attendance. Disinfect your hands using the dispenser available. 6. Seating in the church will have two people in one pew (one at either end), followed by one person in the middle of the pew behind you, followed by another pew with two people, followed by a pew with one person in the middle of the pew. 7. When seated in the pew there should be a 10 cm piece of green masking tape in front of you. Observing this seating plan will ensure a comfortable maximum attendance in the church. 8. There are no holy water fonts in the church at this time. The vigil candles and electronic lights at the shrines are not available to reduce hand contact on surfaces. You may request the lighting of candles - details in the bulletin. 9. There will be no Sunday collection in the usual manner. You may place your offering in the basket as you enter the church before taking your seat. 10. Washrooms. Please use the facilities at home before leaving for Mass.

THE INFLUENCE OF POLITICAL LEADERS ON THE PROVINCIAL PERFORMANCE OF THE LIBERAL PARTY IN BRITISH COLUMBIA By Henrik J. von Winthus ABSTRACT This thesis examines the development of Liberalism In British Columbia from the aspect of leader influence. It intends to verify the hypothesis that in the formative period of provincial politics in British Columbia (1871-1941) the average voter was more leader- oriented than party-oriented. The method of inquiry is predominantly historical. In chronological sequence the body of the thesis describes British Columbia's political history from 1871, when the province entered Canadian confederation, to the resignation of premier Thomas Dufferin Pattullo, in 1941. The incision was made at this point, because the following eleven year coalition period would not yield data relevant to the hypothesis. Implicitly, the performance of political leaders has also been evaluated in the light of Aristotelian expectations of the 'zoon politikon'.

  • JOHN ROBSON and the BRITISH COLUMBIAN a Study of a Pioneer
    t JOHN ROBSON AND THE BRITISH COLUMBIAN A Study of a Pioneer Editor in British Columbia James Gordon Reid A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History at the University of British Columbia October 1950 Abstract John Robson, one of the most forceful and dynamic persona• lities of British Columbia's history, was editor and proprietor of the New Westminster British Columbian during the colonial period. This thesis is an attempt to appraise the importance of Robson in the development of the colony primarily from a study of his newspaper writings from 1861 to 1869. Such a stu• dy has distinct limitations: it is not possible to delineate accurately Robson's personality solely from what is revealed in his newspaper, and one cannot claim to arrive at specific conclusions without abandoning fundamental principles of his• torical research. Nevertheless it is hoped that some appreci• ation of Robson's importance can be gained from a close study of his newspaper over an eight-year period. Because of the veritable mine of information that is re• vealed in Robson's writings, it has been necessary to limit the topic considerably. No attempt has been made to embrace the multitude of subjects which Robson discussed in his jour• nal. Those selected for consideration are subjects which il• lustrate to advantage Robson's attitude toward the question of developing the colony's resources and his opinions on matters of economic, social, and political importance.- Since this work is concerned only with an appraisal of the editor's atti• tude to these subjects, and since some of them are but minor threads in the fabric of the region?s history, no attempt has been made to trace the history of each topic.

Playing politics with suicide rates is morally appalling, yet that’s precisely what our government, media outlets and anti- gun groups do when they claim statistics “prove” Canada’s “gun control” scheme saves lives. This column will set the record straight. Team CSSA E-News | January 11, 2019 https://cssa-cila.org/2019/01/team-cssa-e-news-january-11-2019/ VERNON MP HOSTING TOWN HALL ON FIREARMS Firearms have been in the spotlight since the federal government introduced Bill C-71, a multimillion-dollar plan to combat a rise in gun and gang violence in Canada. The Conservative opposition has introduced it's own measures which it considers more effective. By Sean Mott - January 11, 2019 https://infotel.ca/newsitem/vernon-mp-hosting-town-hall-on-firearms/it58793 POLICE IN CANADA CAN NOW DEMAND BREATH SAMPLES IN BARS, AT HOME It may sound unbelievable, but Canada’s revised laws on impaired driving could see police demand breath samples from people in bars, restaurants, or even at home. And if you say no, you could be arrested, face a criminal record, ordered to pay a fine, and subjected to a driving suspension. You could be in violation of the impaired driving laws even two hours after you’ve been driving. Now, the onus is on drivers to prove they weren’t impaired when they were on the road.

  • The Making of a Maritime Explorer: James Cook in Newfoundland, 1762-1767 Olaf Uwe Janzen
    The Making of a Maritime Explorer: James Cook in Newfoundland, 1762-1767 Olaf Uwe Janzen La cartographie de Terre-Neuve effectuée par James Cook de 1762 à 1767 a été indispensable à ses futures expéditions dans le Pacifique. Ses efforts lui ont valu la réputation de maître navigateur et arpenteur fort qualifié pour le commandement. Certains historiens ont examiné si le commandement de l’exploration du Pacifique aurait pu être confié à quelqu’un d’autre. Bien que cette conclusion soit acceptée par ceux qui ont méticuleusement étudié le capitaine Cook, il s’agit d’une conclusion qui est difficilement reconnue publiquement à l’extérieur du Canada atlantique. In introducing his book, Captain Cook’s War and Peace: The Royal Navy Years, 1755-1768, John Robson remarked that “Some writers have asked the question, ‘Why was James Cook chosen to lead the Endeavour expedition [into the Pacific in 1768]?’” Robson then suggested that, with a better understanding of Cook’s career between 1755 and 1768, the more reasonable questions to ask would be “‘Why would the Admiralty have chosen anyone else to lead the expedition?’ and ‘Who else could they have chosen?’”1 Robson’s point is that Cook’s career in the Pacific (which for much of the rest of the world is the only James Cook there is) cannot be understood without reference to his accomplishments during the years that he served in the Royal Navy in North America. Those years were absolutely critical to his training as a navigator, a hydrographer, and as a commander.2 Indeed, in his biography of Cook, Frank McLynn declares quite unambiguously that “Even 1 John Robson, Captain Cook’s War & Peace: The Royal Navy Years 1755-1768 (Annapolis, MD: Naval Institute Press; Barnsley, South Yorks.: Seaforth Publishing; Sydney: University of New South Wales Press, 2009), 4.
