His Honour the Lieutenant-Governor hopes to be enabled to declare, during the afternoon, his reasons for calling you together. His Honour was then pleased to retire. The Hon. G. B.

Earlier this year, on March 22nd, it was my duty to deliver the Speech from the Throne to the Members of the 31st Parliament of British Columbia. Since that time, the people of British Columbia have elected this new Parliament. It would seem appropriate at this time for me to offer my congratulations to the Members who now sit in this new Assembly. I would also like to thank those who served their Province in the 31st Parliament. The speech delivered on March 22nd, 1979, to the 31st Parliament refers to commitments, policy directions, and principles which my Government will ask this Parliament to carry forward. Therefore, the Members of this new Assembly may wish to refer to that speech—and my Government would ask the Speaker, in due course, to deliver it to Members for their consideration along with this new document. With respect to the Speech from the Throne delivered to the 31st Parliament, my Government would like Members to give particular attention to the following commitments, policy directions, and principles, which my Government offered then and reaffirms now: • Senior citizens continue to have a high priority in the programs my Govern- ment wishes to place before you. • My Government wishes to add to what many consider the best program of health care in North America through the introduction of a Denticare plan. • My Minister of Human Resources will have before you initiatives for the handicapped and other disadvantaged people in our society. • My Government intends to eliminate any discrimination based on age, sex, marital status, or geographical residence in the setting of car insurance rates in British Columbia.

April 26, 1988 DE-6 (2/88) i i ABSTRACT This study proposes a strategy which will assist governments, the sponsors of hallmark events, and community groups to identify and plan for the negative housing impacts of such events. Hallmark events are major one-time or recurring : events of limited duration, developed primarily to enhance the awareness, appeal and profitability of a tourist destination in the short and/or long term. World's Fairs and Olympic Games are two examples of hallmark events. The 1986 World's Fair (Expo 86) in Vancouver provided an opportunity to document the impacts of this hallmark event on the residents of a community which borders the fair site and on the planning practices of the local government.

  • So You Think Government Is Boring
    Lesson Plan Title So You Think Government is Boring... Audience Primarily intended for Social Studies 11, but can be modified for all grade levels. Overview We all love to listen to a good story. Government is often viewed as being "boring", but teachers can utilize the art of storytelling to act as a medium through which they can capture their students’ imaginations. Through narratives, concepts are placed within a more meaningful context, historical figures come to life, and otherwise seemingly mundane details can become memorable. Objectives • To engage students in the processes of government • To foster an appreciation for the history and traditions of government • To help students realize the impact one individual can make on government and society. So You Think Government is Boring... Page 1 Activities and Methods • Attached handouts. Teacher needs to pre-read the story he/she plans to use and pair it with the topic that best corresponds. • Teacher will read selected story at the beginning and choose from the topical pairing suggestions: Appendix A – Gracie's Finger (Electoral boundaries and size of electoral districts) Appendix B – The First “Families First” (1917) (Suffrage, minimum wage laws, first acting female Speaker of the Legislative Assembly, first female British Empire Cabinet Minister, Independent MLA, Cabinet Solidarity) Appendix C – The Agony & the Architect (History of the Parliament Buildings, impact of one individual on government and society.) Appendix D – Off With His Head! (Role of the Speaker, History of Parliament, Parliamentary traditions) Appendix E – Living Legend (Role of the Clerk of the Legislative Assembly, individual commitment to parliamentary democracy, civic engagement) Appendix F – More Than Meets the Eye (Parliamentary democracy, separating politics from government) Appendix G – En Garde! (Parliamentary tradition) Duration of Activity • Length will vary depending on how teacher chooses to incorporate individual stories into lesson plan.
