  • A New Era for British Columbia
    A Vision for Hope & Prosperity for the next decade and beyond. GORDON CAMPBELL AND THE www.bcliberals.com We can work Wonders I am excited about our future. I was born here and I know what we can accomplish when we unite behind a common purpose. In BC there is a special spirit. It’s the spirit that reaches beyond ourselves. It’s the spirit of enterprise, community and imagination. Imagine looking at our province 100 years ago and then look at it today.Think of the public legacy of our past – the roads, bridges, dams and power lines that brought us together.Think of all we have built: wonderful schools, universities and colleges to teach students of all ages; excellent hospitals to provide us all with care; and countless community services. This election provides a chance to embark on a New Era of enormous scope to build on that proud legacy.Together we can reverse the NDP’s decade of decline, incompetence, mismanagement and betrayal of trust.We can cut personal income taxes and unleash the power of a thriving free enterprise economy. We can restore the sense of hope and prosperity that defined BC’s past, to build a future in every community that is ripe with opportunity for our children and families. We can create a public education system that’s the envy of the world and develop a public health care system that meets the needs of all BC families, regardless of where they live.And we can bridge the “digital divide,”to ensure all British Columbians can participate in the new world of technology and communicate through high-speed Internet access.

  • NIDMAR AR2004.Pdf
    ABOUT THE INSTITUTE The National Institute of Disability Management and Research (NIDMAR), founded in 1994, is an internationally recognized organization committed to reducing the human, social, and economic costs of disability. As an education, training, and research organization, NIDMAR’s primary focus is the implementation of workplace-based reintegration programs which international research has proven is the most effective way of restoring and maintaining workers’ abilities, while reducing the cost of disability for workers, employers, government and insurance carriers. NIDMAR’s success is the result of collaborative initiatives undertaken by leaders in labour, business, government, education, insurance, and rehabilitation. NIDMAR is supported by a broad-based board of directors and an international council with senior representatives from Canada, Australia, Germany, Ireland, The Netherlands, and the United States. As a long-term labour-management and multi-party organization committed to disability management in the workplace, NIDMAR is supported by an endowment fund created through contributions from the federal and provincial governments, major private corporations, and public organizations. 03 Message from executive director 04 NIDMAR’s 10th anniversary 06 What NIDMAR 10th anniversary speakers had to say 07 NIDMAR’s progress 08 Union perspective 09 Profile of a worker 10 NIDMAR and Government 12 Profiles of online students 14 Profile of a CDMP 15 What CDMPs had to say 16 Profile of a CRTWC 17 What CRTWCs had to say 18 NIDMAR’s
