    MAYOR'S OFFICE: BRITISH FEe 0 9 2017 COLUMBIA VICTORIA;^ February 3, 2017 Her Worship Reference: 261394 Mayor Lisa Helps City of Victoria 1 Centennial Square Victoria BC V8W 1P6 Dear Mayor Helps: Re: Bike Right Provincial Youth Cycling Framework Thank you for sharing your letter of October 7, 2016, addressed to Premier Christy Clark, regarding the ministry's BikeBC program and your support for the Bike Right Provincial Youth Cycling Framework. The ministry is committed to encouraging active lifestyles, and I am pleased that the ministry's BikeBC funding is helping the City of Victoria to provide safer cycling opportunities for residents. BikeBC places a preference on funding high quality, separated facilities, as we have seen that these attract the most users. The new protected cycling corridors in Victoria will no doubt be a welcome addition to the cycling network. Investing in cycling infrastructure is a key priority in B.C. on the Move, our 10-year transportation plan. Last year, the Province announced that it would double BikeBC funding for three years to $18 million, and this year, we increased that amount by an additional $2 million. Through partnerships with local communities, this cost-sharing program will result in over $40 million in cycling infrastructure. Since 2001, over $160 million in BikeBC cost-shared funds have been provided for cycling infrastructure projects throughout the province, and we will continue to help municipalities expand their cycling networks through this program. B.C. on the Move also calls for: • the widening of shoulders and safety improvements on provincial highways in areas with high volumes of cyclists; • a doubling of the frequency of sweeping on main cycling corridors; and, • a Cycling Tourism Signage and Marketing Strategy to promote B.C.'s beautiful cycling routes.

Surrey-Tynehead MLA Amrik Virk, Surrey-Cloverdale MLA Stephanie Cadieux, Surrey-Fleetwood MLA Peter Fassbender, and Surrey-Panorama MLA Marvin Hunt announced this today on behalf of Education Minister Mike Bernier. Students are receiving the supports, skills, and experiences they need for the jobs of tomorrow from the help of shoulder tappers͸career co- ordinators and recruitment specialists. These mentors are connecting students with innovative workshops and on-the-job opportunities in skilled-trades and technology careers, encouraging them with positive input and advice, and cultivating their passions. All 33 districts that applied met the requirements and received the 2016/17 grant. Twelve districts receive funding for similar programs under the Northern Development Initiative Trust and a further eight receive funding from the ministry as part of the Northern Opportunities Partnership or the South Island Partnership. The Shoulder Tappers Program supports B.C.'s Skills for Jobs Blueprint, which is re-engineering the province͛s education and apprenticeship system so training dollars and programs are targeted to in-demand jobs. It also supports the #BCTECH Strategy͸a key component of the BC Jobs Plan to support the growth of B.C.͛s vibrant technology sector and strengthen British Columbia͛s diverse innovation economy. Quotes: Amrik Virk, MLA for Surrey-Tynehead ʹ ͞British Columbia is on the fast track to becoming a world leader in technology and we need a workforce who can maintain this momentum.

  • Letter to the Honourable Mike De Jong, Minister of Finance And
    June 12, 2014 The Honourable Mike de Jong Minister of Finance and Government House Leader P.O. Box 9048, STN Prov Govt Victoria BC V8W 9E2 Dear Minister De Jong, Subject: Capital Project and Seismic Funding At the May 27, 2014 Public Board Meeting, the Board of Education passed the following motion related to the Provincial Government’s change in capital project and seismic funding. that the Board of Education communicate to the Minister of Finance, the serious impact and concerns created by the policy requiring Boards to contribute up to 50% of the cost of the seismic or capital projects, and; that in the interest of the safety of students and staff, the Minister of Finance rescind this policy. This policy direction is a significant change from the provincial government’s commitment to fully fund seismic projects and is the source of serious concern for our School District and school districts across the province. The Provincial Government’s new seismic/capital funding policy creates an extreme disincentive to municipal governments, across the province, to support the disposition of surplus school district lands. Requiring financial contributions to seismic upgrades, rather than towards replacement buildings, impacts the lifespan and quality of school facilities and sites, as well as restricting the potential, future community amenities within a municipality. These factors will directly impact the effectiveness and viability of the Release of Assets for Economic Generation (REAG) program as municipal governments and community members become disinclined to support rezoning applications. The proceeds from the disposition of surplus school sites are identified by Boards of Education to address high priority issues, such as, full replacement projects, land assembly for new schools, or enhancements to seismic projects.
