Half of the employers had an increase in employee turnover in 2006. The degree of difficulty in attracting and retaining employees varies considerably by functional area and management level. Alberta and BC organizations experienced more challenge than other employers. Many Canadian employers are experiencing difficulty in attracting and retaining employees.

  • Communicative Regionalism and Metropolitan Growth Management Outcomes a Case Study of Three Employment Nodes in Burnaby – an Inner Suburb of Greater Vancouver
    COMMUNICATIVE REGIONALISM AND METROPOLITAN GROWTH MANAGEMENT OUTCOMES A CASE STUDY OF THREE EMPLOYMENT NODES IN BURNABY – AN INNER SUBURB OF GREATER VANCOUVER by LAURA ELLEN TATE B.A., McGill University, 1988 M.A. (Planning), The University of British Columbia, 1991 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Planning) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) September 2009 © Laura Ellen Tate, 2009 Abstract In North America, metropolitan growth management (MGM) has been significantly influenced by what I term communicative regionalism. The latter concept is rooted in communicative planning theory, and thus stresses dialogue and consensus in problem- solving. To explore the impact of communicative regionalism on actual growth management outcomes, this dissertation investigates a case study on the implementation of communicatively-informed regional plans in metropolitan or GreaterVancouver, Canada, as they have impacted three employment nodes in suburban Burnaby. The dissertation applied a three-part methodology, involving the collection of empirical data on outcomes, analysis of plan development against communicative planning criteria, and the critical application of an Actor Network Theory (ANT) lens to better examine the relationships and interactions of key government agencies during MGM plan development and implementation. The analysis suggested mixed results in terms of goal outcomes. Notably, it found that longstanding goals for attracting office employment to a designated Regional Town Centre had not been achieved to the desired degree. In explaining how this occurred, the analysis supplied empirical evidence of recent critiques made against communicative planning theory. Such results appear to support calls made by other theorists for the development of a post- communicative approach to theory and practice.

    Orders of the Day The Publication of the Association of Former MLAs of British Columbia Volume 23, Number 8 October 2017 A 30th anniversary celebration to remember Happy Holidays BCYP President Chris Coulson, guest speaker Angus Reid, Association President Penny Priddy, Her Honour Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon and Hon. Speaker Darryl Plecas at the 2017 Association Annual Dinner. More than 100 former MLAs, their spouses and friends packed the dining hall at Government House Sept. 22nd to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Association of Former MLAs of BC. It was a special evening on many levels including touching opening remarks by Her Honour Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon who is at the end of her five-year vice-regal appointment; a short, but powerful message from BC Youth Parliament Premier Chris Coulson; and an impactful polling lesson from the country’s pre-eminent surveyor of public opinion Angus Reid. And, taking it all in from his seat in the audience, was the AFMLABC’s most senior of members, Gordon Gibson, a founding director of the association. BCYP Premier Coulson really nailed the commonality between the youth movement and the AFMLABC which financially supports the BCYP’s annual December sitting in the BC Legislature: “We teach our members that the nature of democracy is in service to our communities … In that vein, there is very much a passing of the torch here tonight." More stories and many more pictures from the Government House event are featured on pages 6 through 11. Under the Distinguished Patronage of Her Honour The Honourable Judith Guichon, OBC Thank You and Miscellany Lieutenant-Governor of British Columbia Orders of the Day is published regularly Dues, Subscriptions and Donations throughout the year, and is circulated to Association members, all MLAs now serving in Gordon Gibson, Vancouver Legislature, other interested individuals and Dave Hayer, Surrey organizations.
