  • 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.

  • Lynn Canyon Pay Parking Pilot Project - Council Endorsement
    AGENDA INFORMATION D Regular Meeting Date:--------- □ Other: Date:--------- Dept. Manager The District of North Vancouver REPORT TO COUNCIL January 11,. 2021 File: 11.5210.00/000.000 AUTHOR: Banafsheh Rahmani, PEng, Transportation Engineering SUBJECT: Lynn Canyon Pay Parking Pilot Project - Council Endorsement RECOMMENDATION: THAT the plan for the Lynn Canyon Park Pay Parking Pilot be endorsed by Council for implementation. REASON FOR REPORT: To seek Council endorsement for implementation of the Lynn Canyon Park Pay Parking Pilot Project. SUMMARY: A report to Committee on Lynn Canyon Pay Parking Pilot Project was submitted to Committee of the Whole (CoW) on December 01, 2020. In a December 14, 2020 workshop, CoW recommended the project to be endorsed. The following addresses the Committee's comments received during the December 14, 2020 workshop. The December 01, 2020 Report to Committee is attached as an Appendix to this Report to Council for reference. BACKGROUND: Lynn Canyon Park attracts over a million visitor each year. With growing popularity, the park's parking demand reaches 2,500 vehicles per day during peak summer periods. This volume has resulted in considerable strain not only on park trails, stairs, boardwalks, and supporting amenities, but also on surrounding neighbourhoods from spill-over parking demand. During several recent Council Workshops, including the On-Street Parking Management Strategy Workshop (November 04, 2019), the Parking Policy Workshop (June 22, 2020) and the most recent Lynn Canyon Pay Parking Pilot Workshop (December 14, 2020), the use of pay parking as a DNV Park demand management tool has been discussed and recommended for endorsement by DNV Council.

BACKGROUND: The CWPP Update was prepared by BA Blackwell & Associates in consultation with multiple stakeholders and key staff in the Parks, Communications, Fire Services, Engineering, Environmental Sustainability and Planning departments. The plan contains an assessment of fuel types and assets exposed to wildfire hazard across the District, and a set of recommendations aimed at reducing wildfire risk to people, infrastructure and the environment, with the focus on areas along the wildland-urban interface (WUI) zone. The Wildfire Risk Management System (WRMS) was used to identify areas of high hazard fuels associated with values at risk within the District. A total of 52 strategic recommendations have been proposed and summarised in Table 1 within the Executive Summary/Summary of CWPP Recommendations section at the beginning of the plan. Approximately 164 hectares (ha) of high hazard fuel types have been identified and the areas detailed in Section 5.1.1 Proposed Treatment Units, page 63, Table 15 and Map 11 Proposed and Past Treatments page 69 for locations.
