WEST KOOTENAY WOMEN'S ASSOCIATION/ 420 MILL STREET. NELSON. B.C. VIL 4R9 (250)352-9916 • FAX* (250) 352-7100 March 3, 1999 The Honourable Penny Priddy Minister of Health Room 133, Parliament Buildings Victoria, British Columbia V8V 1X4 Fax:(250)387-3696 Dear Minister Priddy: We at the Nelson and District Women's Centre / West Kootenay Women's Association are very concerned about the pending termination of funding for ANKORS' Needle Exchange and Client Services programs. 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. -

January 4, 2019 Karen Goodings Peace River Regional District Box 810 Dawson Creek, BC V1G 4H8 Dear Karen, It is my pleasure to provide you with a complimentary issue of our new political newsletter, The Composite Advisor. British Columbia today is in the midst of an exciting political drama — one that may last for the next many months, or (as I believe) the next several years. At present, a New Democratic Party government led by Premier John Horgan and supported by Andrew Weaver's Green Party, holds a narrow advantage in the Legislative Assembly. And after 16 years in power, the long-governing BC Liberals now sit on the opposition benches with a relatively-new leader in Andrew Wilkinson. B.C.'s next general-election is scheduled for October 2021, almost three years from now, but as the old saying goes: 'The only thing certain, is uncertainty." (The best political quote in this regard may have been by British Prime Minister Harold MacMillan who, asked by a reporter what might transpire to change his government's course of action, replied: "Events, dear boy, events." New research suggests that MacMillan never said it — but it's still a great quote!) Composite Public Affairs Inc. -
