With a 6.8 per cent increase bolstering the board’s previous budget in their back pockets, the Nelson police board’s powers-that-be delivered their 2018 provisional budgetary wish list Monday in council chambers. — File photo A third time’s the charm as the city’s police board has again come to city council for its annual budgetary ask and requested another significant increase to its budget for the third year in a row. With a 6.8 per cent increase bolstering the board’s previous budget in their back pockets, the Nelson police board’s powers-that-be delivered their 2018 provisional budgetary wish list Monday in council chambers. And it did not deviate from the 2017 request, or the 2016 request, with a 3.2 per cent increased asked for, an overall net cost increase to the city of $102,221. Nelson police board members Liz Edwards, Am Naqvi and Hilda Taylor were joined by NPD chief constable Paul Burkart in delivering the 2018 provisional budget. The NPD’s provisional budget of $3,278,064 was up by $147,539 over the 2017 model, said Burkhart.

I am proud of the work that the iio team has accomplished in this past fiscal year. Many of our successes are outlined in this document. However, one of the most significant achievements is not easily quantified. It is more intangible—and yet, it is important to every person who works at the iio and it affects each person with whom we interact as a part of our day-to-day operations.

  • Prevention of Elder Abuse: a Nelson & Area Resource Manual
    Prevention of Elder Abuse: A Nelson & Area Resource Manual Nelson & District Seniors Friends of Nelson Elders Coordinating Society INTRODUCTION The Nelson & Area Elder Abuse Prevention Project We would like to first take this opportunity to thank the Nelson & District Seniors Coordinating Society Board for supporting the development of this Manual, and the Friends of Nelson Elders for providing the funding. The Steering Committee guiding the project is a collective of volunteers including seniors’ counsellors, seniors representing the Nelson & Area Seniors Coordinating Society, and recently retired elder health care professionals. It is the conviction of all involved that community development is the foundation for the prevention of elder abuse and that education, communication and advocacy are the building blocks. The manual is intended to list resources and contacts that seniors may feel the most comfortable approaching or sharing information or concerns with. Because of this, the actual number of identified resources is limited but hopefully meet the manual’s intention of being the most “user friendly”; the committee apologizes in advance if an organization or resource has been missed. It is hoped that a Nelson and area elder abuse prevention web page can be developed in the future and information for additions or edits are invited for consideration of inclusion at that time. Finally, I would like to thank the Elder Abuse Prevention Project working group for the hours of time, energy, debate and dedication put in to the development of the manual. Thank you to Mary Audia, Christie Heuston, Gail Russell, and Alex Wallach. Yvonne Shewfelt, Chairperson Nelson & Area Elder Abuse Prevention Project Steering Committee Note: The terms Elder abuse, Older adult abuse or Senior’s abuse are interchangeable in the manual and reflect the articles or literature referenced.
