As always with my trips, I have planned the trip to be highly organized and planned in detail. I have done many trips each year for the last 17 years and Iam confident this one will go as planned. I have attached the itinerary and some other information that will be helpful to the board in making its decision on approval. Ifyou have any questions regarding the late timing of this request for approval please call KenYoung at FSJSS.

Ithink this activity is the same as rock climbing, zip lining, and the high ropes at Educo etc. With the right equipment and trained instructors these activities can be very good for students. 7) 2r Activity of interest to the board — Swimming in a guarded pool in Terrace — This is still being booked. The pool is closed when we want it so they are looking at opening just for us. Ifthey can’t open we will change this activity to bowling. 8) I have also attached the School district High risk forms for the climbing and the trips involving water form for the swimming 9) We have all the appropriate medical information, emergency contact information and consent forms on hand and will have them with us 10) Iwill have my cellphone with me and will leave the parents a contact for Sandspit and Masset.

Julie and I both have had several communications with Toby. Here is a link to a blog: http://www.gohaidagwaii.ca/blog/tree-clim bing-adventures Also — From Tree Climbers International — I did look up the organization and it looks like a legitimate certification and organization. Here is a video of the type of climbing we will be doing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekdsVdYM MUg The schools on Haida Gwaii have booked with and use this company as part of their outdoor ed program at both the high school and the elementary school. Idid call VickiIves (the principal) at the elementary school and she did confirm they do use the company and have their students climb. Having seen all this and comparing it to the activities groups do at Educo in 100 Mile House we should be all good for approval. These are the communications from Toby the instructor. The communications from Toby to Julie Julie, Here is a copy of my RTCcertificate. Idid the week long course in Oregon City, Oregon. I have been climbing actively since then. To date I have climbed with around 350 first time climbers in single and doubled rope. Ialso have an interest in local ecology and have attended courses in ethnobotany, anthropology and archaeology to compliment my work as a guide at the youth camp. I have lived on island for 14 years. Mike Hennigan, who has been instrumental in setting up our platform is a professional faller with a lifetime of tree and rigging experience. He has extensive spur climbing and rope experience. His company, Slarktooth Logging,set an example for sustainable logging practices in the industry for almost twenty years. Ifyou like Iwill contact him for his certs. I don’t know what they all are. He’s a long-time resident here. Jo hager has climbed with me for the last year and carries a certification with Wilderness Medical Associates. We have worked together at the Mount Moresby Adventure Camp for six years. She is also a kayak guide with her own outfit, operating for the last ten years out of Gwaii Haanas national park. She is an excellent educator, and experienced outdoors person, living here for at least the last ten years. We are currently running an outdoor education pilot project through our local school district for grade 5 students. There are three others who may be present to help on the ground. Moe Luksenberg isjust finishing his BAof science in ecology and carries a current WMA certification. Russ Fleming and Joel Lagasse are both teachers, Russ in the high school and Joel at the elementary level (also a third pillar in our outdoor ed program) Allhave climbed with us many times this year, and have assisted with building and rigging, and all attended a climb tutorial workshop with me in February/March. The tutorials were a series of sessions to understand gear use, proper maintenance and limitations, systems and variations, climb Page 43 of 152 technique and working with groups. It was a way to bring us together on climbing practices and safety procedures. Sorry about the delay, Igot sidetracked by a one and a half and a four year old for a while there. Thanks, toby. The Communications to and From Me to Toby: HiToby I have been asked to help Julie with this trip to Haida Gwaii in June. I need some more information to get this climbing activity passed by our school board. Ido have all your emails to Julie regarding certifications etc. I really need to know what needed to be done by your local teachers and school district and the group of grade 5’s you are working with. If Ican find out what the teachers did to convince your school board to allow the activity Ishould have no problem with ours. Thanks James Waddell James, Iwas not part of the process, but as far as I know the schools had to get permission forms to the parents outlining the activity and waivers because it is considered a high risk activity. Since we have done other adventure sports with the students like kayaking and surfing, the process was not a difficult one, and the schools’ own policy covered us. These programs were not run through my business, which currently depends on release of liabilityforms only. At the moment Iam in the process of negotiating insurance through a company called Oasis Insurance. It seems likelythat we will have $2 000 000 liability coverage by early May, in which case your process should involve only the release forms which Ican get to you any time. Ifyou like, you can call Vickilves. She is the principal of Sk’aadgaa Naay Elementary and will know exactly what their process was. The school’s number is 250 559-8889. Let me know ifyou need more info. Toby.

Our Valentine’s lollipop sales were wonderfully successful, and we are currently organizing a flower bulb sale and a car wash for this month’s activities. Please watch for order forms coming home in the next few days for bulbs, as your child will be asked to collect orders and money. We have had many parents express an interest in joining us on our trip. I have opened the invitation to all parents who are able to join us at Tyhee Lake, and K’San Village. If you are thinking ofjoining us for any or all of the trip, please consider the following: If you wish to camp at Tyhee Lake Provincial Park on the night of the th25 please book your campsite soon, at https:1/secure.camis.com/Discovercamping/ Campsites will apparently start to book up this week. Students and staff are staying in the group campsite, and will use the shelter and our own campstove for food preparation and serving. The K’San Village tour on June th25 will cost $4.00 each, and will take approximately 2 hours. Mrs. Arnold and Mrs. Allesandrini will be cooking dinner, breakfast and lunch for the students. If you are camping, you will need to provide your own food and cooking equipment. There will be a lifeguard on duty for the morning of the th26 for those who wish to swim in Tyhee Lake. We have arranged to have voyageur canoes during the morning as well, and guides to take us out in these lovely big boats. Please feel free to bring your own lifejacket or PFD. We will be using the NVSS activity bus to transport students and staff to K’San and Tyhee Lake. Sincerely, Patty Borek Ps. If you have any questions or concerns about the trip, please call me at (250) 567-5133, or at home in the evenings (250) 567-2289.

Supervisors will be Derek Broughton, Program Director, two ELBCcounselors, myself, Mr. Fabian Teegee (Sowchea Elem Support Worker), Jeffrey Kiezebrink (Lifeguard) and most likely several parents. Students will have planned activities, games, scavenger hunts, etc. There will be free time at the waterfront, including swimming within the square dock (‘crib’),waterslide, jumping from a platform onto ‘the blob’, and access to paddle boats, canoes, and sit-on kayaks. I have decided that lifejackets will be mandatory for all water activities at Echo Lake, and are provided by Echo Lake Bible Camp. These are activities that not all children have access to unless their parents pay for them to attend a week at summer camp. These activities develop gross motor skills, cooperation, team work, and self esteem. This is a fun and active way to end a school year, in which the students have worked very hard, and learned enormous amounts. Gail Hiebert, Teacher Grade 3 and 4 Sowchea Elem. Page 66 of 152 -Derek.

The Dalai Lama Center Pippa Rowcliffe Maria LeRose HELP Dalai lama Center Heart-Mind Index: Measuring children’s Heart-Mind development in the early years The Heart-Mind Index provides a population-level snapshot of social and emotional well-being of children in BritishColumbia communities, in their early years. “Heart-Mind”refers to qualities such as getting along with others, solving problems peacefully, being alert and engaged, and feeling secure and calm. The Heart- Mind Index was developed by the DalaiLama Center for Peace and Education in partnership with the Human EarlyLearning —j Partnership (HELP).It draws on the work HELPhas led for the last Maria LeRose 12 years with the EarlyDevelopment Instrument (EDI)— a population level developmental survey that is used with kindergarten children in BritishColumbia every year. Social development and literacy instruction needn’t be an either/or proposition. If we are to improve literacy.., we all have to embrace the belief that teaching reading to 5-year-olds can be a school experience that’s just as playful, imaginative, inquiry-driven, and developmentally appropriate as anything John Dewey or Jean Piaget might have dreamed up. We have to stop casting the skill-and-drill versus joyful learning through play. Explicit literacy instruction is a relatively brief portion of a kindergartner’s day.

A key priority for a BCNDP government will be improving learning conditions for our children, with an additional focus on special needs students, Aboriginal students and students with English as a second language. To do this, we will invest $100 million annually to hire new teachers, teaching assistants, librarians and counsellors. We understand the funding pressures faced by School Districts and will work with you to address this challenge. .‘; Today’sBCLiberals has a great education system, one that is well funded and B.c’swhere student achievement frequently ranks among the best in the world. Today’s BC Liberal government continues to provide record-level funding for public education. Since 2000/01, B.C.’s student population has dropped by over 8 per cent, yet we increased funding by 26 per cent. Next year, despite an estimated decrease of 6,200 students, we will maintain public education funding at billion. Our Learning Improvement Fund (LIF) is also investing $210 million over three years to help Boards of Education address complex classroom needs. At S6o million, the first installment produced positive results, with 500 new teachers, 400 new EAs,and 7400 EM received increased hours and smaller classes. • •...... 4...I..P...•......

Adrian Dixand the BCNDPwillcreate an EarlyYears Innovation Fund, using revenues from the BC liberals poorly conceived education savings contribution scheme, to develop programs that seek to improve early learning outcomes. We recognize that cooperation across ministries and from various stakeholders including Boards of Education is necessary to generate positive outcomes and will take steps to make this happen. We also believe that it is critical to address inequality and child poverty in our province, as we know that poverty has a negative impact on the abilityof children to he ready to learn. We will implement a province-wide legislated poverty reduction plan with measurable targets and timelines in partnership with communities, including boards of education. Today’sBCLiberals he Early Years Strategy is a key component of Today’s BC Liberals’ Tplatform. We know that when kids are involved in high-quality early learning programs, they receivelong-term academic and socialbenefits that help them succeed in school and life. We’recommitted to putting resources towards wise investments so that kids get the best start possible. For instance, Today’sBCLiberalsmade significant policy advancements by working with boards of education to implement Full-Day Kindergarten - with a comprehensive play-based curriculum as its learning fOCUS - and hundreds of StrongStart BC programs across the province. StrongStart BCprograms have been a huge success and we’veseen the expansion from 12 pilot projects to 326 funded programs in every region of the province. Supporting children through their early years is not just an educational matter. For example, our $34.8-million Success by 6 program supports early learning in conjunction with nutrition and familyservices and is active in more than 225 communities across B.C. Today’s BC Liberals are committed to supporting children through their early years, which is whywe will establish a Provincial Office for Early Years to make certain that coordination across ministries is effectiveand activities are well targeted. We want to ensure that all our efforts to support early learning provide kids with the resources they need to succeed. • I••e••••.•.••••. •••..•••••.•...... p..I....•..•....• •••.•.e.•••••••••.••.•••• Q Page 140 of 152 • What ..•s.•.•.•....

MacDonald, Editor Nanaimo Daily News 2575 McCullough Road Nanaimo, B.C. Dear Sirs: Re: Letter to the Editor I am writing with regard to the letter to the Editor from D. Olsen you printed in your March 27, 2013 edition of the Nanaimo Daily News. The letter was critical of Canadian aboriginal people and commented on their lack of invention from a very eurocentric point of view. I believe the sentiments and thoughts expressed in that letter were racist. The letter caused a considerable reaction in our community and was even mentioned in the House of Commons. Unfortunately, it also attracted commentary from an element in our community that is always eager to express their anger towards First Nations' people. Vancouver Island University President Ralph Nilson offered his good offices to facilitate a discussion of these matters and hosted a meeting on April 3, 2013 at the University. Speakers at that meeting expressed a desire to act quickly to ensure that, through dialogue, some healing and reconciliation might occur. Many attendees, myself included, volunteered to participate in that process. In our School District we have worked hard to provide improved learning conditions for aboriginal students. Those students and their families have not always been well served by public education. Also, the shameful history of the residential school experience has added to that mistrust. When your paper chooses to publish a letter that has such a negative focus on people who, in fact, have a rich cultural history, it only adds to their general mistrust of the dominant culture. While I acknowledge you apologized for the publication of the letter and described it as a human error, I think you need to take responsibility for encouraging a kind of attack journalism that does nothing to bring the varied parts of our community together. A positive media can be a force for good; an oppositional media can provide a forum for empty rants. Unfortunately, your paper too often chooses the rant. I hope you will participate in the community process to bring about some healing. Yours truly, Jamie Brennan, Chair Board of Education Nanaimo Ladysmith Public Schools Pc: Trustees D.
