    Orders of the Day The Publication of the Association of Former MLAs of British Columbia Volume 24, Number 3 April 2018 Social change advocate moves into Gov. House BCHappy has a new Lieutenant Governor Holidays, Janet Austin. Austin is a remarkable community leader and advocate for social change. She has been serving as the Chief Executive Officer of the Metro Vancouver YWCA, a position she has held since 2003. She follows Judith Guichon into Government House to take on what has been, until last year, a largely ceremonial five-year appointment. Guichon made headlines last June when she asked the NDP’s John Horgan to form government after no single party had won a majority. The announcement by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau came March 20 as Governor General Julie Payette paid her first official visit to British Columbia. She was welcomed to Government House by Guichon. It would be Her Honour’s final bow. Incoming Lieutenant Governor Janet Austin Payette signed the guest book at Government House, leaving a sticker of her new coat of arms, which features a white wing to symbolize exploration, liberty and safety. Payette, a former astronaut, was the second Canadian woman to go into space and the first Canadian on board the International Space Station. The Prime Minister and Premier John Horgan thanked the outgoing Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon for her numerous contributions and her work to engage communities, non-profit organizations, and businesses across the province since taking office in 2012. Premier John Horgan and retiring Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon greet continued on Page 4 Governor General Julie Payette on her first official visit to BC.

  • BC Today Will Arrive in Your Inbox After the Canada Day Long Weekend on Wednesday, July 3
    B.C. Today – Daily Report June 28, 2019 Publisher’s note: The next edition of BC Today will arrive in your inbox after the Canada Day long weekend on Wednesday, July 3. Quotation of the day “I came here with considerable referee experience in my life and I didn’t have to use any of it.” Despite anticipating a contentious Western Premiers’ Conference, Manitoba Premier Brian ​ Pallister says B.C. Premier John Horgan and Alberta Premier Jason Kenney participated in ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ candid and “very effective” discussions during the interprovincial summit in Edmonton ​ ​ yesterday. Today in B.C. The House is adjourned for the summer recess. Fireworks fail to materialize at Western Premiers’ Conference, despite ongoing legal proceedings between B.C. and Alberta This year’s Western Premiers’ Conference in Edmonton was a surprisingly tame affair, despite much speculation that long-running tensions between B.C. and Alberta would ignite when premiers John Horgan and Jason Kenney met face-to-face for the first time. ​ ​ ​ ​ The leaders of Canada’s four western-most provinces and all three territories discussed mental ​ health and addictions issues, Arctic sovereignty, permafrost and forest fires, and labour mobility and inter-provincial trade. As a result of the annual meeting, the premiers committed to putting forward a signed communique recognizing professional credentials between the provinces and territories, and bringing it to the Council of the Federation next month. Horgan bowed out of the press conference that capped the meeting early in order to catch a flight back to Victoria but said he and Kenney had “robust discussions” about the interests of their respective provinces.

In honouring a candidate of eminence and excellence, we offer a public illustration and declaration of our values and we inspire our graduates and our community with an example of what may be achieved in a well-lived life.” Reading from the citation presented to the Aga Khan, UBC President and Vice-Chancellor Santa Ono noted “… I can think of no candidate who so deserves this unprecedented joint recognition than His Highness the Aga Khan.” Citing that there is no “better exemplar than His Highness the Aga Khan” President Ono applauded the Aga Khan’s leadership and spoke of the deep impact that the AKDN has had around the world investing close to $1 billion annually in non-profit development activities.

  • The Throne Speech
    THE THRONE SPEECH Each new session of the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia is formally opened with the reading of the Speech from the Throne. The throne speech is written by the government of the day to explain why the Legislative Assembly is being assembled and to outline the government’s broad goals for the coming legislative session. Canada’s parliamentary system of government is based on the United Kingdom’s Westminster system, where the monarch or a representative of the Crown has been opening Parliament since the early 16th century. This tradition is continued in our province today by the Lieutenant Governor, the provincial representative of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, who reads the Speech from the Throne to open parliament. The day of the Speech from the Throne is typically rich with ceremony and tradition. Cannons are brought into Victoria’s inner harbour for a 15 gun salute, which is fired as the Lieutenant Governor The Lieutenant Governor reading the Speech from the Throne inspects a Guard of Honour along the front on February 12, 2019 driveway of the Parliament Buildings. The Lieutenant Governor then enters the Parliament Buildings through the Ceremonial Entrance and proceeds to the Legislative Chamber where Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs), their invited guests, and members of the press have assembled to hear the speech. Once the Speech from the Throne has been read, the MLAs have six sitting days to debate the government’s goals for the year ahead. This debate is called the Address in Reply to the Speech from the Throne, and is started by a government motion supporting the Speech from the Throne.

CHARLES ~ Confirmed as next Head of Commonwealth. A gallant gentleman leads Meghan up the aisle to Harry. And his 70th birthday marked at Palace Party for 6000, with Harry’s tribute to “Pa” – six months in advance! WILLIAM & CATHERINE ~ Welcome their third child, Prince Louis of Cambridge. HARRY & MEGHAN ~ Hopefulness and joy sung and felt in wedding both personal and traditional, with a spry-looking Duke of Edinburgh walking and climbing stairs unaided.

In date order, The Queen , shaking off her 92 years, celebrated a bittersweet birthday, likely the last time she will be surrounded by leaders of the Commonwealth to which she has given such care and prestige throughout her reign. Yet the affir - mation of all she has striven for – and a rare, publicly-expressed wish granted – brought the sweet: the unanimous confirmation of her el - dest son and Heir, Charles, to succeed her as Head of the Common - wealth in the fullness of time.
