  • FBCA Newsletter Volume 15, Number 1
    1 FBCA Newsletter Volume 15, Number 1 Terry Reksten Memorial Fund Recipients 2015 The recipients of the 2015 grants from the Terry Reksten Memorial Fund have been selected! This year the Salt Spring Island Historical Society (SSIHS) and the Western Front Media Archive were chosen to receive this annual award. Each organization will receive $1000 to assist with their projects. The SSIHS, in recognition of the 75th anniversary of the Salt Spring Elementary School, will use the grant to preserve and document the early history of the school district #64 (Gulf Islands). They will create an oral history by interviewing former and current students and teachers. As well, photographs associated with SSI elementary school, staff, students and community members will be digitized. The results of the project will be added to their archives and be presented on their website: saltspringarchives.com. The Western Front Media Archives represents a small arts community active in Vancouver for over 40 years. They will use the grant to improve the organization and storage conditions of the textual records dating from the 1970s and 1980s. They will re-house artist files, posters and ephemera, which include key records like contracts, correspondence and publicity materials. A staff member will create an inventory list of the contents of the boxes while they are being re-housed. The Western Front Media Archives can be browsed at front.bc.ca - The 2015 Reksten Fund Committee: Don Reksten, Deidre Simmons, Ryan Gallagher (AABC). 1 Important Reminders from the FBCA Membership renewals are now due for September 2015 to August 2016 October 18th, 2015 at 2pm will be the FBCA’s annual general meeting.

  • 1 Honourable Katrine Conroy Minister of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource
    Honourable Katrine Conroy Minister of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development Parliament Buildings Victoria, British Columbia V8V 1X4 February 22, 2021 RE: Proposed transfer of Replaceable Forest License A17007 in the Fort Nelson Timber Supply Area from Canadian Forest Products Ltd. (Canfor) to Peak Fort Nelson Properties Ltd. Dear Minister Conroy, CC: Nathan Cullen, Minister of State for Lands and Natural Resource Operations; Roly Russell, Parliamentary Secretary for Rural Development; George Heyman, Minister of Environment and Climate Change Before we discuss the problems with the license transfer itself, we strongly urge you to extend the public comment period by a minimum of two months past the current deadline of February 26th, 2021. We are a group of concerned citizens in northern British Columbia, and this opportunity to voice our opinion has only become known to us in the last few days. A tenure transfer of this size is significant and will drastically change the way forests are managed in northeastern BC. The Minister’s office ought to seek meaningful public engagement on this issue, not hide the fact that this transfer is being considered. A decision to allow this transfer and pellet mill to go ahead would be in direct opposition to your Ministry's mandate to “lead the transition of our forestry sector from high-volume to high-value production”. Pellets are a very low-value use of forests; their production involves minimal processing of trees and produces very few jobs. The Peak Renewables pellet mill would require somewhere between 20,000 and 24,000 cubic metres of wood to sustain just one full-time job at its plant.

One day after being sworn into office with a massive majority, Premier Gordon Campbell announced a 25 percent personal income tax cut, potentially relinquishing one billion dollars in tax revenue. Seven weeks later, Campbell and his Finance Minister followed up with another billion dollars in business and corporate tax cuts.

  • B.C. Today – Daily Report July 18, 2019 “Being In
    B.C. Today – Daily Report July 18, 2019 Quotation of the day “Being in opposition sucks.” Liberal Forests critic John Rustad prefers government to opposition. ​ ​ Today in B.C. The House is adjourned for the summer recess. Two years of the NDP: Liberal MLAs on life in opposition Two years ago today, Premier John Horgan and the NDP cabinet were sworn in as B.C.’s ​ ​ government, more than two months after the 2017 election in which the B.C. Liberal Party won a plurality of votes and seats. Despite rampant speculation that the NDP alliance with the Green Party would fail within months, there is little indication the province will be heading back to the polls any time soon. To mark the second anniversary of the swearing in, BC Today interviewed three Liberal MLAs ​ ​ — two former cabinet ministers and one who is serving his first term in provincial office — to discuss the challenges of serving in opposition. “Talk about a whirlwind.” After nearly a decade as a city councillor, Liberal Agriculture critic Ian Paton was elected to ​ ​ represent Delta South in May 2017 and was thrilled to be heading to the legislature as a member of the governing party — or so he thought. “Winning the election was pretty cool,” Paton said. “We were setting up our offices in the east wing. Then, of course, everything sort of went sideways with the Greens teaming up with the NDP and … suddenly we were in opposition.” On June 29, the Liberal government fell in a confidence vote, forced by NDP and Green Party MLAs who together held 44 seats to the Liberals’ 42.
