  • BC Veterinarians Need Your Help Combined
    Hello If you wish to help BC veterinarians address the shortage of veterinarians, you may wish to write your local MLA and ask them to support and increase to the number of BC students trained as veterinarians. Below is a sample email for you to send to your local MLA. You can also add to the email or replace it with your own. After the sample email, on page 2 and 3, is a list of all MLA email addresses to help you to find your MLA contact information. Should you wish to learn more about the shortage of veterinarians and the need for additional BC students to be trained as veterinarians, please scroll down to page 4 to read our summary document. Your help is greatly appreciated! Dear MLA, I wish to add my name to the list of British Columbians who find the shortage of veterinarians in BC unacceptable. We understand that BC can add an additional 20 BC student seats to BC’s regional veterinary college, but that the government declined to do so, citing costs. In the interest of animal health and welfare issues including relief from suffering and unnecessary death, public health, and biosecurity for BC, we ask you to ask the Minister of Advanced Education Anne Kang to fund an additional 20 BC seats at WCVM effective immediately. As a BC resident, I want my voice added as an individual who cares about the health and welfare of animals and who wishes the government to provide funding to help alleviate the shortage of veterinarians in BC.

  • Okanagan at Risk of Extreme Flooding If Province Doesn't Update Lake Level Management
    March 2, 2021 NEWS RELEASE OKANAGAN AT RISK OF EXTREME FLOODING IF PROVINCE DOESN’T UPDATE LAKE LEVEL MANAGEMENT Kelowna, B.C. – The Okanagan Basin Water Board (OBWB) has sent a letter to the Province of B.C., requesting a review of how it manages Okanagan lake levels in an effort to address the worst effects of climate change. The correspondence is backed up by letters of support from municipal governments throughout the valley. “We’re very concerned about the current lake level management and the risks of extreme flooding in the future,” explains OBWB Executive Director Anna Warwick Sears. “This is a serious problem we are facing. This is not hype.” At issue is the current management plan which was designed in the 1970s and which doesn’t accommodate for climate change. The Okanagan has experienced severe flooding in recent years and recent flood mapping for the valley has signaled that the way the lake is managed needs to change. The lake level issue was raised by the District of Peachland a few months back and has since been echoed by other valley municipalities. That, paired with the results shown by the maps, prompted the OBWB letter. “There is an urgent need to have this review,” the letter states. “While preparing Okanagan mainstem lakeshore flood maps (published in 2020), Northwest Hydraulic Consultants found that the frequency of flooding would be unacceptably high if the Okanagan Dam at Penticton continued to be operated in the same manner, given the expected increase in flows due to climate change…. The technical report for this effort found that as a result of climate change, floods will ‘exceed the capacity of existing infrastructure if operational rules are not adjusted.’ “We are asking the Government of B.C.
