McNaughton of Smithers Community Services Association (SCSA), and ADULT J. LeClair, representing Mental Health, Northern Health Authority (NHA), made MENTAL a presentation regarding their joint proposal for an eight-bed adult mental health HEALTH stabilization unit and emergency shelter in Smithers. UNIT/ SHELTER R. McNaughton reported that the current emergency shelter consists of four beds at the Twin Valley Motor Inn and that people needing a shelter would be better in a group setting that offers support, rather than being alone in a motel room. He explained that the Smithers Action Group (SAG) has identified the following areas that need to be addressed: a) the establishment of a crisis stabilization unit and homeless shelter; b) long-term housing needs for people with disabilities; and c) the creation of a support centre/contact resource. J. LeClair explained that a crisis stabilization unit has been identified by the NHA as a priority in Smithers. Currently mental health patients and individuals with addictions are filling up hospital beds. A crisis response centre would provide 24-hour support, for up to five days, and then the patient would return home with medications and food. Council asked if SCSA and NHA have decided on a location for the stabilization unit and emergency shelter. J. LeClair advised that a location has not been chosen yet, as the project is in the preliminary stages. One of the next steps is to research existing models in other communities. R. McNaughton stated that Council would be updated as the project progresses. 5-2 M. Warmerdam, property owner of land adjacent to the Smithers Regional 05.0750 Airport, appeared before Council to ask that Council endorse his pursuit, with WARMERDAM Federal and Provincial governments, to obtain access to his property, PROPERTY preferably from the north side. He emphasized that he is entitled to access and ACCESS that the Town would have no responsibility for the infrastructure (i.e. roads). Mr. Warmerdam stated that he would like to reach a solution agreeable to all parties. Mayor Davidson indicated that Council has always maintained that this is not the Town’s problem and that it is a government problem. He indicated his willingness to help find a solution outside of the court system. Mr. Warmerdam added that he believed his neighbour, T. Huisman, would also be willing to work towards a solution. Howard/Adomeit THAT K. Zacharias, Airport Manager/Deputy Fire Chief, meet with T. Huisman to find a solution regarding property access. CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

    From: Rol Fieldwalker [<email address removed>] Sent: March 9, 2016 8:27 PM To: Pacific Northwest LNG / GNL Pacific Northwest (CEAA/ACEE) Subject: *****SPAM***** Re: Pacific Northwest LNG on Lelu Island As any grade 3 student will tell you, by now we all know all the reasons we have to stop using fossil fuel. Communities that are facing the possibility of the end of their way of life are not looking to negotiate a better deal~ whether in the form of local jobs,higher royalties, or better safety standards. More and more communities are simply saying"NO". no to the pipeline, no to fracking, no to the export terminal,no to Arctic drilling, no to the coal trains, no to the oil trains.... neither here nor anywhere else. In other words... no new carbon frontiers. The Lax Kw'alaams First Nation already voted 100% against this project in May, despite an offer of $1.4 billion from Petronas. The Lelu Island Declaration was signed by First Nations leaders from across the Skeena watershed, as well as Grand Chief Stewart Philip of the Union of BC Indian Chiefs, MLAs Jennifer Rice, Doug Donaldson, and Robin Austin, and MP Nathan Cullen, to protect the proposed site – and its salmon – from LNG development. Lelu Island has been occupied by Lax Kw'alaams members since August 2015, who have been working to prevent further work on the rejected project. Madii Lii territory, which the fracked gas pipeline would pass through on the way to Lelu, has been closed to pipeline development by Luutkudziiwus people since Aug.

  • News Release
    June 29, 2016 Standing Committee on International Trade 6th Floor 131 Queen Street House of Commons Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A6 via email: [email protected] Dear Committee Members: In recent months, there has been a great deal of debate about the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP) and what it means for Canada. The federal government has committed to a study of the agreement’s potential impacts on the Canadian economy; however, to date nothing has been made public, and we have been told no such study yet exists. How can the government possibly sign onto a massive international trade agreement without knowing the impacts it will have, or the potential consequences for the Canadian economy, the public and the environment? In fact, it would be irresponsible to proceed in this way. A genuine and independent economic impact analysis that considers all the implications of this agreement should be mandatory. Possibly one of the reasons for this failure to do an impact study is that the government knows full well that any benefits from the TPP will be marginal at best, while the damage done will be serious. A 2016 study from the C.D. Howe Institute predicts that the macroeconomic impact of the TPP on the Canadian economy would be a mere 0.068% growth in GDP by 2035. Perhaps even more interesting is that the study predicts only a 0.026% drop in GDP by 2035 if Canada does not ratify the TPP. This mirrors the recent US International Trade Commission’s study that showed that the TPP will increase the US trade deficit and will have almost no positive impact on the US economy.

    House of Commons Chambre des communes RECEIVED MAY O 4 2012 CITY MANAGE"'I OFl'ICE CITY OF PRINCE GEORGE April 30, 2012 Mayor Shari Green City of Prince George 1100 Patricia Boulevard Prince George, BC V2L3V9 Dear Mayor Green, It is with great sadness that we learned the tragic news of the explosion at the Lakeland Mills in Prince George this past Monday. We deeply regret to hear of the deaths of two workers from the mill. Our thoughts are with the entire community, particularly with the families of those who perished and the twenty two who were injured. At times filled with grief such as these, it is when we most rely on the strength and love of our community. As part of the greater British Columbian community we would like to offer our support. We are glad to hear that WorkSafeBC will be looking into this and will continue the call for action to prevent tragedies like this in the future. Bums Lake suffered a similar tragedy at Babine Forest Products early this year. The courage and commitment of that community to support the families most impacted is truly inspiring. We offered support in that tragedy and will continue to work with the mayor, the union and the company. Once again, we offer our deepest condolences to the families, friends, and co-workers at Lakeland Mills and to the entire community of Prince George. Sincerely, /~~ ~~ Jean Crowder, MP Alex Atamanenko, MP Don Davies, MP Nanaimo-Cowichan BC Southern Interior Vancouver-Kingsway ~\: (~\,~ }.;, hbv;i):w ;q Nathan Cullen, MP Libby Davies, MP Fin Donnelly, MP Skeena-Bulkley Valley Vancouver East New Westminster-Coquitlam and Port Moody I,_,{---: )-~- ~ v--­ lf,,.j~Q.~01'\ ll r~\L- ' Randall Garrison, MP Peter Julian, MP Esquimalt-Juan de Fuca Jasbir Sandhu, MP Burnaby-New Westminster Surrey North - ~ :J)n ~Ssi.
