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.

Today in B.C. On the schedule The house is adjourned until Monday, July 6, for the Canada Day constituency week. Committees this week Two committees are scheduled to meet virtually this week: the Legislative Assembly Management Committee on Thursday and the Select Standing Committee on Public Accounts on Friday. The agendas for both meetings remain TBD. Friday’s debates and proceedings Committee A completed its review of the estimates for the Ministry of Education and moved on to the estimates for the Ministry of Labour. Committee C spent the day debating the estimates for the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. Premier watch On Thursday, Premier John Horgan participated in a meeting with Canada’s first ministers. ​ ​ Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the ministers could not agree on a statement condemning ​ ​ ​ ​ systemic racism.

  • British Columbia Speech from the Throne
    Speech from the Throne Her Honour the Honourable Janet Austin, OBC Lieutenant Governor at the Opening of the Second Session, Forty-second Parliament of the Province of British Columbia April 12, 2021 Opening It is with great sadness that I acknowledge the passing of His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, at the age of 99, on April 9th, 2021. As the devoted husband and consort to Her Majesty The Queen, the marriage of Her Majesty and His Royal Highness formed a foundation of leadership of the United Kingdom and Commonwealth for nearly eight decades. On the occasion of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee in 2012, Her Majesty referred to His Royal Highness as her “constant strength and guide.” His Royal Highness will be remembered fondly by British Columbians for his devotion to Queen and country, his duties as Royal Patron, and his ever-keen interest in the lives and work of Canadians. On behalf of all British Columbians, I wish to once more extend my heartfelt condolences to Her Majesty The Queen, the entire Royal Family, and all citizens of the Commonwealth, on the loss of this steadfast companion and most loyal Prince. Moving forward We begin by acknowledging the Lekwungen peoples, the Songhees and Esquimalt First Nations, upon whose territories we are gathered today. For the last four years, your government has worked to go beyond these important land acknowledgements – and actively forge partnerships with Indigenous peoples. Working together, we have progressed in advancing meaningful reconciliation. Indigenous languages are being revitalized. Child welfare legislation has been improved, so more children rightfully remain with their families and communities.
