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.

Public health is at risk, animal rescue groups are limited in which animals they can rescue, equine owners have euthanized their horses for preventable maladies, companion animal owners face delays that contribute to their animals suffering and dying, and puppy and kitten owners face lengthy waits for preventative and urgent veterinary care. The fastest and most effective way to start to address this shortage of BC veterinarians is to train more BC students to become veterinarians. Each year there are around 140 qualified BC applicants but there is only space for 20 to be admitted. The Chapter has asked the Minister of Advanced Education Anne Kang to fund an additional 20 seats (for a total of 40) to begin to address the horrors caused by this shortage of veterinarians. The Ministry has said funding to train veterinarians is not a priority. The Society of BC Veterinarians Chapter desperately needs your help. If you believe that veterinary medicine is important to the health and welfare of animals, and that this dire shortage is affecting the welfare of animals, please write to your MLA asking them to fund more BC students at veterinary university and copy the email to [email protected] At the request of the Ministry, the Chapter completed a labour market study demonstrating that BC was short 100 veterinarians per year for each of the subsequent five years, culminating in a shortage of 500 veterinarians by 2024.

    NEWS RELEASE For Immediate Release Ministry of Advanced Education, Skills and Training 2018AEST0064-000800 May 2, 2018 Students, employers to benefit from more engineering spaces at VIU NANAIMO – An additional 40 engineering diploma and certificate seats at Vancouver Island University will give more students access to the technical skills needed for good-paying jobs in the booming tech industry. “There hasn’t been any significant investment in tech programming for more than a decade,” said Melanie Mark, Minister of Advanced Education, Skills and Training. “Adding more tech spaces at Vancouver Island University is part of our provincial tech-expansion plan that’s adding thousands more spaces to give students the skills to succeed, and ensuring that the tech sector is supported with homegrown talent.” Funding of $100,000 will allow Vancouver Island University to develop and implement additional student spaces in the university’s fundamentals of engineering certificate, and a new engineering design and practice diploma program. “B.C.’s tech sector is growing exponentially, and companies in every corner of the province need skilled workers,” said Bruce Ralston, Minister of Jobs, Trade and Technology. “These additional seats at Vancouver Island University’s engineering programs will help local companies find the talent they need to get their product to market and generate good-paying tech jobs.” “This funding will enable us to train more of our tech talent locally, while helping to support the growth of tech industries on Vancouver Island,” said Leonard Krog, MLA for Nanaimo. “Our government’s startup funding to expand tech programming will allow Vancouver Island University to add 40 additional student spaces in two enhanced engineering programs.” “To obtain good-paying, 21st-century jobs, people need access to affordable and relevant education,” said Doug Routley, MLA for Nanaimo-North Cowichan.

Doug Donaldson Minister of Indigenous Relations Min. of Forests, Lands & Natural Res. RM 323, Parliament Buildings RM 248, Parliament Buildings Victoria, BC V8V 1X4 Victoria, BC V8V 1X4 Dear Minister, Our local school district has come to us with a problem that I am sure we, together, can help with. The Cameron Lake Outdoor Education Centre has been identified as a possible TLE to be transferred to the West Moberly First Nations. School District 60 has used this crown land, under lease from the BC Government, for almost 30 years and over that time has put close to $1 million into this facility to develop a successful Outdoor Education Centre. By considering the transfer of this land to West Moberly First Nations, places a tremendous amount of stress and unnecessary burden on a school district that is always wrestling to find money to improve our students’ education. Since 1990, School District 60 was granted a lease for a small camp on Cameron Lake. Over the last 29 years the district has invested close to $1 million and The centre is located in the natural boreal forest on the shores of Cameron Lake, 25 km from Hudson’s Hope on Highway 29. The centre is not only used by students but also district staff and the general public where such uses are compatible with the goals of outdoor education and environmental awareness.

As local MLA’s for the Thompson Regional Hospital District (TRHD) Board several questions have arisen, and we are looking for clarification to be able to provide accurate answers to our constituents. What is the expected operational date for the Cancer Care Centre? Has the planning for the new Cancer Care Centre started? What is the scope of Cancer treatment services that will be provided in the new Centre, and will said scope be inclusive of at least two linear accelerators? Where will the new Cancer Care Centre be located? Is the money for the planning being provided by Interior Health Authority (IHA) or the Ministry of Health? Who will be the lead agency in this project, Ministry of Health, IHA or BC Cancer? Given previous Cancer Centre’s have been a collaboration between the Province and BC Cancer, is this the intended model for the Kamloops Cancer Care Centre? Given previous Cancer Centre’s were not funded by local Hospital Boards, will the TRHD be expected to commit capital dollars or will the new Cancer Care Centre be funded by the Province and BC Cancer? If the intention is to seek capital dollars from the TRHD, what is the contribution expected to be? Will Hospital Foundations be expected to fundraise for the new Cancer Care Centre?
