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.

Time to Jump-Start the B.C. Forest Service—Not Bury It
Time to jump-start the B.C. Forest Service—not bury it By Jim Stirling The British Columbia Forest Service is on a death watch. The organization charged with managing the publicly-owned forests in B.C. is months shy of its 100th birthday but the prognosis is poor for it reaching that milestone in any recognizable form. What happens next depends on Steve Thomson, B.C.’s minister responsible for forests and the rest of leader—and newly- minted premier—Christy Clark’s new Liberal government caucus. For years, successive provincial governments have turned to the forest service for easy budget cuts. At one point, it was likely some judicious personnel trimming within the organization was justified. But that was in the past and the habit has now become an obsession. In less than 10 years, the government has cut more than 25 per cent of the forest service’s work force and closed half of its district offices, the real presence and public representation at the landscape level. The telling blow to this death by a thousand cuts approach was delivered by Gordon Campbell, just days before he an- nounced his abdication as B.C.’s premier and leader of the provincial Liberal party last October. Campbell’s plan involves re-organization and alignment of five major ministries; forests; energy; environment; agriculture and aboriginal relations. Under this ill-conceived plan, the Ministry of Forests and Range is the Ministry of Forests, Mines and Lands and a new Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations was created, which Thomson now heads.

Directors'notice of New Business
R-2 DIRECTORS’ NOTICE OF NEW BUSINESS To: Chair and Directors Date: January 16, 2019 From: Director Goodings, Electoral Area ‘B’ Subject: Composite Political Newsletter PURPOSE / ISSUE: In the January 11, 2019 edition of the Directors’ Information package there was a complimentary issue of a political newsletter entitled “The Composite Advisor.” The monthly newsletter provides comprehensive news and strategic analysis regarding BC Politics and Policy. 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.

V6B 1L8 Tel: (604) 689-8474 Fax: (604)689-7511 Email: [email protected] March 26, 2004 Honorable Gordon Campbell, Premier Province of British Columbia PO Box 9041, STN PROV GOVT, Victoria, BC V8W 9E1 Dear Premier Campbell, Re: Changes to the B.C. Cremation, Interment and Funeral Services Act As a provincial organization that works to advance and protect the equality rights of British Columbians, we write to express our dismay and frustration with your government’s recent decision to erode the equality rights of same-sex couples in B.C. by repealing their right to control the remains of their loved ones. Section 51 (1) (b) (ii) of the B.C. Cremation, Internment and Funeral Services Act 1996, expressed a clear legislative intent; one that afforded the equal right and one that provided the equal benefit to same-sex couples as those afforded to their heterosexual counterparts during a most difficult time in their lives. By removing that intent from legislation, your government is signaling a huge shift, one that sets the equality rights of same-sex couples in this province back by eight years, and one that is greatly at odds with other progressive legislation being enacted and enshrined on similar issues across Canadian jurisdictions. Solicitor General Rich Coleman suggests his rationale in repealing this section of the Act was due to the ease in which changing societal attitudes can be better reflected through regulations that accompany legislation as opposed to dealing with those changes within the legislation itself.
