REQUEST to AMEND BC REG. 213-99 Introduction
REQUEST TO AMEND BC REG. 213-99 Introduction The purpose of this document is to respectfully seek an amendment to the School Act and BC Reg. 213- 99 regarding electoral wards for the purpose of electing a Board of Regional Trustees for the Conseil scolaire francophone de la Colombie-Britannique (CSF). Like any Board of Education in British Columbia, the Conseil scolaire francophone de la Colombie- Britannique is governed by a Board of Trustees. Since the CSF is a provincial board of education, its Board is comprised of seven (7) Regional Trustees. Since its creation, the CSF has grown by 25%. Its data base accounts for over 10,000 members. It also provides educational services to more than 5,700 students, in 37 schools dispersed across the province. CSF trustee elections take place at the same time as municipal and other board of education elections. However, because trustees are elected from across the province and not just within a municipality, the CSF faces a number of challenges, which the School Act anticipated and responded to by providing the CSF with a legal framework and electoral boundaries as described in BC Reg. 213-99. The purpose of the proposed amendment is to provide the CSF and its members with the certainty of their own regional identity to allow them to vote in their assigned wards. As it stands, BC Reg. 213-99 situates the CSF within the boundaries of the Anglophone Board of Education. The CSF does not believe this practice meets the requirements of the current situation and is seeking an amendment to BC Reg. -
BURT FEINTUCH Folk Music Is a Social Phenomenon.1 It Exists Within the Contexts of Certain Patterns of Human Interaction
SOINTULA, BRITISH COLUMBIA: Aspects of a Folk Music Tradition as a Social Phenomenon BURT FEINTUCH Folk music is a social phenomenon.1 It exists within the contexts of certain patterns of human interaction. When we speak of a “tradition,” in the sense of “the folk music tradition,” we refer to a patterned social phenomenon in which utilization of a class of folkloric items occurs. A tradition is not composed of a repertoire, nor does it reside in individuals. Just as a traffic pattern is not dependent upon specific drivers, a folkloric tradition is social rather than individual.2 We have a large number of studies of the content of repertoires (item-oriented studies) and a number of studies which focus on the individual performer or repertoire-bearer (person-oriented studies), but we have little information concerning the social nature of a tradition. The following is an attempt to portray in a general sense a vital tradition of folk music in a small fishing community in British Columbia.3 Sointula, British Columbia, is a community of approximately five hundred people, about half of them first, second, or third generation Finnish-Canadians. The community is located on Malcolm Island, a small island about twelve miles long by an average of two miles wide, located in the Queen Charlotte Sound, between the northern portion of Vancouver Island and the mainland, about 185 air miles north of Vancouver. Although the earliest group to settle Malcolm Island was an English and Irish religious sect intending to establish a Christian utopian society, the first group to settle the island and remain for a significant length of time was a group of Finnish utopian socialists.4 The first substantial Finnish migration to British Columbia was com prised of laborers who arrived with construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway. -

Geoscience BC and Island Coastal Economic Trust Announce the Northern Vancouver Island Exploration Geoscience Project
Geoscience BC and Island Coastal Economic Trust Announce the Northern Vancouver Island Exploration Geoscience Project Geoscience BC and the Island Coastal Economic Trust (ICET) are pleased to announce the funding of the Northern Vancouver Island (NVI) Exploration Geoscience Project. Geoscience BC’s Board has approved $530,000 for project activities, which is being matched by $400,000 from ICET, for a total project budget of $930,000. In addition, the Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Innovation has provided generous support for stakeholder engagement in the project development phase, through the Campbell River Regional Economic Pilot initiative. “This project was a definite priority coming out of the recent Regional Economic Investment Pilot in Campbell River,” said Pat Bell, B.C. Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Innovation. “It’s easy to see why because mining presents tremendous opportunity for job creation in B.C. and for the north Vancouver Island. The data being collected is essential to moving forward and delivering on the potential for job creation in the region.” The NVI Exploration Geoscience Project will generate new geoscience data for northern Vancouver Island, near the communities of Campbell River, Port Hardy, Port McNeill, Alert Bay, Port Alice and Zeballos. This new regional information will help attract mineral exploration interest and investment, increase the understanding of the mineral potential, and provide local First Nations and communities with more information on the geology of the region. “On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Island Coastal Economic Trust, I am pleased to participate in the announcement for this project, which is the Trust's first opportunity in the mining sector,” said Camela Tang, ICET Vice Chair. -
