  • BC Veterinarians Need Your Help Combined
    Hello If you wish to help BC veterinarians address the shortage of veterinarians, you may wish to write your local MLA and ask them to support and increase to the number of BC students trained as veterinarians. Below is a sample email for you to send to your local MLA. You can also add to the email or replace it with your own. After the sample email, on page 2 and 3, is a list of all MLA email addresses to help you to find your MLA contact information. Should you wish to learn more about the shortage of veterinarians and the need for additional BC students to be trained as veterinarians, please scroll down to page 4 to read our summary document. Your help is greatly appreciated! Dear MLA, I wish to add my name to the list of British Columbians who find the shortage of veterinarians in BC unacceptable. We understand that BC can add an additional 20 BC student seats to BC’s regional veterinary college, but that the government declined to do so, citing costs. In the interest of animal health and welfare issues including relief from suffering and unnecessary death, public health, and biosecurity for BC, we ask you to ask the Minister of Advanced Education Anne Kang to fund an additional 20 BC seats at WCVM effective immediately. As a BC resident, I want my voice added as an individual who cares about the health and welfare of animals and who wishes the government to provide funding to help alleviate the shortage of veterinarians in BC.

  • March 3, 2014 Hon. Michael De Jong Minister of Finance Room 153
    March 3, 2014 Hon. Michael de Jong Minister of Finance Room 153, Parliament Buildings Victoria, BC V8V 1X4 Via Email Dear Minister de Jong: On behalf of the 18,000 businesses operating in the tourism industry, the Tourism Industry Association of BC urges government to fulfill its commitment to our rural resort owners to modernize the Tourism Accommodation (Assessment Relief) Act to reflect increased property values. It’s no secret that rural resort property taxes have increased so significantly over the past number of years that many of these operators have had to face closure. For those who have remained opened, the substantial tax burden has prevented them from being able to re-invest back in their business, impacting their ability to provide an exceptional experience for their guests. Our partner, the BC Lodging and Campgrounds Association has been communicating with government over the past decade about the declining viability of rural tourism accommodations. One major factor is the affect Class 6 property taxes is having on the survival of rural resorts, largely caused by increasing property assessment values and the shrink back of the general rural Class 6 business population in affected rural areas. At UBCM in 2012 a resolution was passed calling on the provincial government to address this issue and make changes. Following the passing of the resolution, the Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training and Minister Responsible for Labour responded: “The Province recognizes that high property assessments for rural tourism resorts have resulted in a tax burden for these businesses. In response to calls for Provincial Government assistance with this issue, the Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training will work with the Ministry of Finance, the BC Assessment Authority and the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development to look at options to amend the Tourist Accommodation (Assessment Relief) Act with the UBCM’s recommendations, and to support this sector.” Page 2 Page 2 Hon.

  • Fraser-Thompson-Steelhead-Release
    To the: Honourable Steve Thomson, Minister of Forest, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Honourable Mary Polak. Minister of Environment Honourable Norm Letnick, Minister of Agriculture March 14, 2017 Dear Honourable Ministers Thomson, Polak and Letnick, Re: Fraser River Late-Run Summer Steelhead Steelhead Stocks in Peril British Columbia’s lakes, streams, tidal waters and stocks of salmon, steelhead and trout attract anglers from BC and around the world each year. The catching (and release) of fish for sport or recreation in BC provides significant economic benefit to the province through spending on transportation, food and lodging, fishing supplies and services and tax revenues. Salmonid species, in both freshwater and tidal waters, comprise the primary species for the sector. In 2013, the value of BC’s freshwater recreational fishery alone, was 957 million dollars in indirect expenditures, 546 million dollars in direct expenditures and 144 million dollars contributed in provincial and federal tax revenues. Steelhead angling is a substantial portion of this value. The financial contributions of the tidal recreational fishery would be in addition to these values. The world has always valued BC steelhead. Steelhead of the Thompson River epitomize this high value and are considered iconic across the globe. Having long sustained First Nations people, steelhead are also central to this interior region’s world-class recreational fishery. Unfortunately Thompson River steelhead are in steep decline. The Spences Bridge fishery declined from 14,000 angler days in 1985 to 4,000 angler days in 2005, and more recently no fishing, representing a loss of between 1.4 - 2 million dollars in direct annual expenditures to the local economy.
