This is the 50th anniversary of CVSE and its forerunner organizations; it was back in 1958 that the provincial government created the Department of Commercial Transport, responsible for monitoring the safety of commercial vehicles on B.C. roads. In his speech, John Dyble reached back to British Columbia’s earliest days as a Crown colony saying, “Early on, road development was done in a patchwork fashion. If you were a farmer, you created a road and often allowed others to use it. There was no real effort to think about roads and how they should be planned or cared for.” “Today, we are responsible for the safety of over 600,000 commercial vehicles. Our people are vital to achieving our objectives, and CVSE has played a direct role in our success.” John Dyble noted that CVSE employees contribute to their communities and their province through personal activities as well as professional duties. In sporting events, industry competi- tions, local charity drives and through Deputy Minister John Dyble with Administrative Rob Richardson, Area Vehicle Inspector the Provincial Employees’ Community Supervisor Karen Brown from Nelson, with Deputy Minister Services Fund, CVSE staffers exemplify and Clerk Christine Loder.

In a general sense this thesis examines the centralizing forces of equality of opportunity promoted by the provincial government versus the forces of decentralization found in the principle of local autonomy. Specifically this thesis examines the reasons why the school districts in die central interior of British Columbia, around Prince George, were consolidated with little or no opposition in 1946 following the recommendations of the Cameron Report. This thesis is a case study of the region approximately in the center of the province that was to become School District No.

  • 2019 Moose Factsheet Final Oct 28 2019
    FACTSHEET October 2019 Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development Moose in B.C. Moose are an iconic animal in British Columbia and play a vital role in the well-being of many communities and individuals. First Nations rely on moose for social, ceremonial, and sustenance purposes. Moose also provide sustenance and recreational opportunities to resident and non- resident hunters. Hunting opportunities provide important social opportunities and economic benefits. Ministry staff and partners are continuing to undertake surveys, research, assess moose health and work closely with First Nations and stakeholders to better inform management decisions. In 2018/19, the ministry’s investments in moose projects totaled nearly $2.7 million, and over $3.3 million in moose projects were funded provincially. Projects for moose enhancement include population inventory, habitat designation, habitat enhancement and assessment of species interactions. The ministry’s moose research project started in 2013 and continues to provide important information for moose management. This fact sheet provides an update on implementing the 2015 Provincial Framework for Moose Management, and “A Strategy to Help Restore Moose Populations in British Columbia.” Highlights of the work conducted over the past year include: • Calf survival was confirmed to be an important factor in population trends. Initial findings from this new approach suggest early calf mortality occurs during their first summer and in late winter and early spring. This mortality appears to be the main contributing factor to the population declines. The ministry is investigating multiple factors influencing the high mortality rates and will use the results to better inform management decisions and project investments.

If prospective voters were not at home at the time of the enumerator’s first visit, a second visit was automatically made. At that time, if they were again not at home, application cards were left for completion and return to the Registrar of Voters. Postage-paid envelopes were included for the convenience of the applicants. Residential visits were made from 9:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m., Monday to Saturday, and on Sunday from 1:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. The revision of voters’ files was completed on July 28th.

First Nations rely on moose for social, ceremonial, and sustenance purposes. Moose also provide sustenance and recreational opportunities to resident and non- resident hunters.
