  • Building Sector's Role in Economic Recovery Post-COVID-19
    URBAN DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE – PACIFIC REGION #1100 – 1050 West Pender Street Vancouver, British Columbia V6E 3S7 Canada T. 604.669.9585 F. 604.689.8691 April 30, 2020 May 1, 2020 Honourable Michelle Mungall Minister of Jobs, Economic Development and Competitiveness Room 301, Parliament Buildings Victoria, BC V8V 1X4 Dear Minister: Re: Building Sector’s Role in Economic Recovery Post-COVID-19 I would like to thank you for the discussion we had on May 20 regarding preparing the province for economic recovery when the pandemic subsides. As you know, the Urban Development Institute (UDI) and its members are well positioned to assist your government in this endeavor. However, we need the province and local governments to take substantive and immediate steps to enable our members to continue to employ British Columbians and build homes and office space. These steps include: • A one-year suspension of any new requirements, fees, charges, taxes and amenity contributions that add costs/delays to projects; • Applying the same property tax reductions and deadline extensions that were announced for commercial land owners to Class 1 residential building sites that are exempt from the Speculation and Vacancy Tax (SVT) and Purpose Built Rental (PBR) buildings; • Applying the SVT exemptions for sites under development and PBR to the Additional School Tax for the next year; • Remove development land and unsold inventory from the Empty Homes Tax for the next year; • Permanently extending the timelines set out in Policy Statements 5 and 6 issued by the Superintendent of Real Estate (pursuant to the Real Estate Development Marketing Act (REDMA)) to allow for an early marketing period of 12 months and a 15-month period to obtain a building permit and satisfactory financing commitment before buyers can unilaterally terminate their pre-sale contracts.

  • April 9, 2020 the Honourable John Horgan, Premier Government Of
    April 9, 2020 The Honourable John Horgan, Premier Government of British Columbia PO Box 9041, Stn Prov Govt Victoria BC V8W 9E1 Dear Premier Horgan, The Registered Massage Therapists’ Association of British Columbia (RMTBC) is concerned that the Provincial Government's response to the COVID 19 crisis is limited in its ability to address the devastating economic impact of this emergency on Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) in BC. There are over 5,000 RMTs in British Columbia, the overwhelming majority of whom are self-employed. The recent containment efforts announced by the Ministry of Health, the Provincial Medical Health Officer and the College of Massage Therapists of BC which the RMTBC supports as an essential step in ensuring public health, are also resulting in extreme financial hardship to our self-employed members, many of whom do not have access to Employment Insurance. Many of our members are ineligible for the initiatives announced by the Federal Government to support practitioners and clinic owners in BC. The RMTBC urges the government to consider initiatives that will assist RMTs and all self- employed individuals and small business owners in BC in their ability to provide for their families, pay their rent or mortgages and contribute to the tax base. British Columbia’s RMTs play a vital role in providing health services to British Columbians and deliver important services that assist in rehabilitation, improvement in the quality of life for the elderly and alleviate the physical symptoms of depression, stress and anxiety. RMTs help people relieve their musculoskeletal pain in order that they can remain at work longer and continue to enjoy the activities of daily living.

With great disappointment that is simply not the case for 2020. I'm sure it comes as no surprise that our show has been cancelled this year. The Government has placed a ban on any group gathering due to the current pandemic. I wanted to reach out and thank you for your years and in some cases decades of support as a sponsor to Kaslo Logger Sports. It takes the perfect triangle to put on a show of this size, level and grandeur . Sponsors, Competitors, and a working Committee.

  • British Columbia Chapter To: Mining Operations (Southwest Region)
    British Columbia Chapter 410-698 Seymour Street Vancouver, BC V6B 3K6 Coast Salish Territory Ph: (604) 685-7445 Fax: (604) 629-8532 [email protected] www.cpawsbc.org To: Mining Operations (Southwest Region) [email protected] CC: Premier John Horgan Hon. Michelle Mungall, Minister of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources Hon. Doug Donaldson, Minister of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development Hon. George Heyman, Minister of Environment and Climate Change Strategy Subject: Permit for Mineral Exploration of Giant Copper 0700195 Mine Number: 0700195 Property: Giant Copper On behalf of the BC Chapter of the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society and our 20,000 members, I am writing to register our opposition to the application from Imperial Metals to conduct exploratory mining in the Skagit Valley/Manning Park “Donut Hole” (Giant Copper 0700195). For the reasons outlined below, we urge the Ministry of Energy, Mines & Petroleum Resources and the Government of B.C. to deny the company’s application for a Multi-Year Area Based permit to conduct mineral exploration. 1. Lack of consultation with local First Nations The company has not completed their duty to consult or obtain free, prior and informed consent from the S’o lh Te me xw (Sto :lō) Nation, Syilx tmixʷ (Okanagan) Nation Alliance and Nłeʔkepmx Tmíxʷ (Nlaka’pamux) Nation Tribal Council. Imperial Metals’ application states that they have not “shared information or engaged with First Nations in the area of the proposed activity.” This must be immediately addressed before further consideration of the application. Given the BC government’s commitment to implementing the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, it is our expectation that the Ministry of Energy, Mines & Petroleum Resources will require this for any project application process.

  • The Honourable John Horgan Premier of British Columbia West Annex Parliament Buildings Victoria, BC V8V 1X4
    The Honourable John Horgan Premier of British Columbia West Annex Parliament Buildings Victoria, BC V8V 1X4 Dear Premier Horgan: As Canada begins implementing plans to reopen the economy, we believe it is paramount that, in coordination with the federal government, each province and territory take immediate steps to coordinate and facilitate the restart of Canada’s tourism and travel sector. This sector, which supports 1.8 million workers across the country including 300,000 jobs in British Columbia,1 has been devastated by the pandemic and urgent action must be taken to prevent long-lasting economic and job impacts, some of which will be permanent if the situation is not rectified. Without a coordinated restart plan there will unfortunately be serious and lasting damage. Hotels, airlines, airports, travel agencies, resorts and venues, restaurants and local retailers in each region of the country are part of the travel and tourism ecosystem and have been essentially shut down as a result of the pandemic, the border and travel restrictions, and quarantine arrangements. We are reaching out directly in our capacity as leaders in the tourism and travel sector experienced in hosting travellers safely in our respective industries. We have proven our ability to adapt to ever-changing security, public health and safety needs. Our success in helping to rebuild public confidence was never more evident than in the aftermath of 9/11 and post-SARS. When faced with adversity and challenge, the travel and tourism sector has stepped up to embrace change, be nimble, and work with government to find solutions. The challenge today is no different.

  • Hello All, on Behalf of Chief Yahey, Attached Please Find a Revised Draft
    NB-1 Received DC Office January 18, 2020 From: Bryan Evans Sent: Friday, January 17, 2020 11:51 AM To: Chief Marvin Yahey; Trevor Makadahay; Lori Ackerman; Rob Fraser; Chair Brad Sperling Cc: Chief Hunter; Dan Bernier; Shona Nelson; Merli de Guzman Subject: Updated TLE Letter attached - for review and signature Hello All, On behalf of Chief Yahey, attached please find a revised draft letter to the Province with respect to TLE lands. This version includes changes as discussed at the last Community Leaders Gathering on November 19 and updated timelines. We anticipated having the parties review and ideally sign this letter at the CLG meeting at Halfway River First Nation today. Given the postponement due to weather, we are hopeful that each of the Parties can review the letter and indicate your support by email. From discussion internally, Chief Yahey and Chief Makadahay have indicated that they are prepared to sign this letter on behalf of BRFN and DRFN. Our understanding is that while HRFN support resolution of TLE lands generally, they are not in a position to support this letter specifically, and will pursue their own opportunities to engage with BC to advance TLE to conclusion. We have therefore removed HRFN from the signature block. Could you please review the attached and indicate your support by providing either a digital signature or a scanned signature page. BRFN will offer to compile the signed version and forward to British Columbia on behalf of the parties, copying all of you. If further discussion is needed among the signatories, the matter can be postponed to the next CLG meeting.
