Some of these names may no longer be in use and may not be considered acceptable by communities but it is useful to include them in order to assist with the location of language resources which may have used these alternate names. 4 Only dialects spoken in B.C. are included here. These are estimates based on our current knowledge. There may be variation in the spelling of dialect names and in the number of dialects for each language. We encourage people who share dialects of the same language to collaborate on language reclamation, revitaliZation and maintenance. 5 This refers to the estimated number of dialects. 6 This lists the main communities where a language is spoken but all languages may be spoken in other towns and cities across the province. 7 The Algonquian family is part of the larger Algic language family. 8 The Athabaskan-Eyak-Tlingit or Na-Dene family is part of the larger Dené-Yeniseian language family.

Each community will collect specific information on injuries by distributing a form to help collect the necessary information, the form which asks the 5 W’s: Who (age and gender), What (what happened), Where (injury occurred), When (date & time of day), and Why. The information collected will then be entered into an electronic database to generate reports and find out what injuries are taking place throughout a period of time. Communities can then use this information to start prevention programs in their communities. In order for us to get the most accurate information possible, we would like to encourage that ALL injuries be reported, regard- less of severity. Boozhoo-Greetings.
