FOR OFFICE USE ONLY Scheduled Council or Committee Appearance Date: ^JlAll^ 9^?, f^-^>^C> Corporate Officer Approval (Signature): Additional information / instruction: Jl/l/y ^° , 3.0^0 Signature of Delegation appearing before Council Date Dear Village of Kaslo Mayor and Council Members, We gratefully acknowledge that the land on which our village stands is the unceded traditional territory of the K'tunaxa, the Syilx, and the Sinixt First Nations, and home now to Métis and many diverse Indigenous persons. We are grateful for their generations of care for this land and these waters, and for the opportunity to live and work in this territory. We, the Anti-Racism Collective of Kaslo and Area (ARCKA), would like to request that the Village of Kaslo Mayor and Council rethink their “anti-racism proclamation” passed at the regular meeting of Council on July 14th, 2020. We ask that you change its wording, and commit to self-education and action around the subject of systemic racism and racial discrimination in our community and in Canada. We ask that all future Council meetings begin with a land acknowledgment and that the Mayor and Council commit to learning about the meaning and purpose of land acknowledgments. We are concerned that the amendment which changed the wording of Council's proclamation is akin to changing the statement “Black lives matter” to “all lives matter”. While it is true that all lives matter, when one group of people faces systemic discrimination and injustice in our society we need to support and stand in solidarity with that particular group. If you are committing to do work around racism and discrimination in Kaslo you must recognize that these problems exist here and specifically name those groups that are affected and which you are committing to support. Below, please read the original motion brought to Council, the amended version, and our suggestion for how to improve this message to be more relevant, appropriate and inclusive. Original motion: The Village of Kaslo believes in an inclusive society where all people feel safe, respected and are treated equitably and with dignity. The Village recognizes this is a crucial time to listen and learn about discrimination and racism experienced by members of our community. Fighting discrimination and racism is difficult work, to be certain, but essential. We stand together and are committed to make positive changes for people of colour and indigenous people in Kaslo and each of us hereby support the #DifferentTogether Pledge initiated by the Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia. #DifferentTogether Pledge Our B.C. is inclusive and respects people of all ethnicities, cultures and faiths and their contributions to our collective well-being. Our B.C. holds diversity as a fundamental value at the heart of the success, strength and resilience of our communities, workplaces, schools, public and private institutions. I pledge to uphold and promote these values and I commit to speaking up to oppose racism and hate in all its forms. Amended version passed unanimously by Council: The Village of Kaslo believes in an inclusive society where all people feel safe, respected and are treated equitably and with dignity. The Village recognizes this is a crucial time to listen and learn about discrimination and racism experienced by members of our community. Fighting discrimination and racism is difficult work, to be certain, but essential. We stand together and are committed to make positive changes for people of all ethnicities, cultures, and faiths in Kaslo and each of us hereby support the #DifferentTogether Pledge initiated by the Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia. Suggested edit: The Village of Kaslo believes in an inclusive society where all people feel safe, respected and are treated equitably and with dignity. The Village recognizes this is a crucial time to listen and learn about discrimination and racism experienced by members of our community. Eliminating racism and discrimination in Kaslo is essential. We stand together and are committed to make positive changes for Black, Indigenous, and all people who experience racism in Kaslo and each of us hereby support the #DifferentTogether Pledge initiated by the Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia. We understand that Council took the amended wording of the motion from the #DifferentTogether Pledge. Although this pledge by our Lieutenant Governor and the movement to stand with this pledge may have positive impacts in B.C., we find it problematic. Please see the resource in our attached literature that includes a statement from Lieutenant Governor Janet Austin around the wording and possible need to change the pledge. We would also like to address two statements made in the same Council meeting: Referring to Black people as “coloured”, as was done by one Council Member in the discussion about the “anti-racism proclamation”, is inappropriate. The term “coloured”, although once widely used to refer to Black persons, is a racial pejorative. Please see the attached literature to understand why this term is not acceptable. If the Mayor or other Council Members understood at the time that this is an inappropriate term, why did you not take the opportunity to speak out? Another term used in the Council meeting, people of colour, seems to be misunderstood by some Council Members. People of colour does not refer solely to Black people, but rather to any person who is not considered white. When asked if Council believes that there is racism in Kaslo the response was “I'd like to believe that there isn't”. There was no other response to this question. We ask that the Mayor and Councilors explore this question further. If it is the belief of the Mayor and Council that racism does not exist in Kaslo, we implore you to listen to the voices of Black, Indigenous and all people who experience racism in our community when they share their lived experiences. Further, if you believe racism does not exist here, why are you making an anti-racism proclamation? We are not asking this question to be antagonistic but to encourage all of you to deeply understand your motive for speaking these words and say them in a heartfelt way. We are glad to see that our Mayor and Council are willing to address the issues of systemic racism and discrimination in our society. We would like to see the Mayor and Council take a strong stance on this issue, and we are asking how you are going to work for positive changes for racialized and marginalized citizens of Kaslo. Please see our attached information regarding why we are asking for changes to your “anti-racism proclamation”. Thank you very much for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Anti-Racism Collective of Kaslo and Area Angela Burton, Clyde Chamberlain, Susan Chamberlain, Sarah Evans, Maddox Hahne, Kevin John, Stephanie Judy, Renata Klassen, Julie Kucera, Carl Marsh, Janet Mayfield, Bobbi-Jo McGlynn, Delanie Smith, Margaret Smith, Sydney Smith-Brinkman, David Stwart, Margaret Ann Winn Kaslo Administration Subject: Anti racism proclamation From: Bree Hope Sent: July 21, 2020 8:07 AM To: Mayor; Ian Dunlop (CAO Kaslo); Knoll; RLang; Molly Leathwood; Councillor VanMill Subject: Anti racism proclamation I am very disappointed in this outcome, I ask you to return to the original introduction or to use the phrase "Black, Indigenous and other peoples who experience systemic racism" instead of the general "people of all ethnicities, cultures and faiths" in your “anti‐racism proclamation" I want to believe you meant well, but I am also very worried as you all voted for this change.

Both of these services are considered essential in urban areas and have been extremely successful here, exceeding all initial projections. Both operate at a fraction of the cost of their urban counterparts - yet both are slated to shut down at the end of March, 1999. Does the Ministry of Health consider that Needle Exchange and Client Services are less essential for people in rural areas who risk contracting, or are living with, HIV? ANKORS provides the only comprehensive HIV and AIDS education, prevention, care, treatment referral and support services for the West Kootenay - Boundary region. Such programs are available through a variety of agencies in urban areas and we would like your assurance that these vital services will be sustained in our rural communities as well. We urge your Ministry to recognize that HIV and AIDS are not only an urban concern. Provide funding for ANKORS to continue these two important programs. Rural health care matters! Thank you for your prompt attention to this urgent concern. Sincerely, Karen Newmoon Rhonda Schmidt Coordinator Chair Nelson & District Women's Centre West Kootenay Women's Association Cc: Ms.

    BC Today – Daily Report June 29, 2020 Quotation of the day “British Columbians simply don’t want to pay more than half a billion dollars for 10,000 lawyers and support staff to fight out car accident claims with ICBC in court.” Attorney General David Eby says the potential loss of thousands of legal support staff positions ​ ​ will be a small price to pay to shift B.C. to a no-fault vehicle insurance model. Today in B.C. On the schedule The house is adjourned until Monday, July 6, for the Canada Day constituency week. Committees this week Two committees are scheduled to meet virtually this week: the Legislative Assembly Management Committee on Thursday and the Select Standing Committee on Public Accounts on Friday. The agendas for both meetings remain TBD. Friday’s debates and proceedings Committee A completed its review of the estimates for the Ministry of Education and moved on to the estimates for the Ministry of Labour. Committee C spent the day debating the estimates for the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. Premier watch On Thursday, Premier John Horgan participated in a meeting with Canada’s first ministers. ​ ​ Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the ministers could not agree on a statement condemning ​ ​ ​ ​ systemic racism. A looser statement condemning “all forms of racism, discrimination, intolerance and bigotry” was issued instead. On Sunday, Horgan issued a statement of condolence on the death of former B.C. cabinet ​ ​ minister Ed Conroy, husband to Children and Family Development Minister Katrine Conroy. ​ ​ ​ ​ “I've known Ed for 30 years and had the honour of working with him during his time as an MLA and then as a minister,” Horgan said.

  • British Columbia Speech from the Throne
    Speech from the Throne Her Honour the Honourable Janet Austin, OBC Lieutenant Governor at the Opening of the Second Session, Forty-second Parliament of the Province of British Columbia April 12, 2021 Opening It is with great sadness that I acknowledge the passing of His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, at the age of 99, on April 9th, 2021. As the devoted husband and consort to Her Majesty The Queen, the marriage of Her Majesty and His Royal Highness formed a foundation of leadership of the United Kingdom and Commonwealth for nearly eight decades. On the occasion of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee in 2012, Her Majesty referred to His Royal Highness as her “constant strength and guide.” His Royal Highness will be remembered fondly by British Columbians for his devotion to Queen and country, his duties as Royal Patron, and his ever-keen interest in the lives and work of Canadians. On behalf of all British Columbians, I wish to once more extend my heartfelt condolences to Her Majesty The Queen, the entire Royal Family, and all citizens of the Commonwealth, on the loss of this steadfast companion and most loyal Prince. Moving forward We begin by acknowledging the Lekwungen peoples, the Songhees and Esquimalt First Nations, upon whose territories we are gathered today. For the last four years, your government has worked to go beyond these important land acknowledgements – and actively forge partnerships with Indigenous peoples. Working together, we have progressed in advancing meaningful reconciliation. Indigenous languages are being revitalized. Child welfare legislation has been improved, so more children rightfully remain with their families and communities.
