Video evidence leads to Undue Care and Attention charge TOWNSMAN STAFF

Kimberley RCMP report that dashcam evidence turned over to them led to charges of Undue Care and Attention under the Motor Vehicle Act. Cpl Chris Newel says that the complainant supplied the video after observing a vehicle pass four vehicles on Highway 95 near Wycliffe Park Road on January 21. “The offender passed two vehicles and then two more at which time he was in the opposite lane while going through the intersection,” Newel said. “Two vehicles coming from the other direction were forced onto the shoul-

der as they approached the intersection.” Police were able to track down the owner of the vehicle and then the driver who was issued a violation ticket. The charge carries a $368 fine and 6 demerit points, Newel says. Police are paying particular attention to Highway 95A between Kimberley and Cranbrook, he says. “Police have received a number of driving complaints along Highway 95A between Cranbrook and Kimberley, especially during peak periods. Targeted enforcement is being conducted and complaints are acted upon if there is sufficient evidence.”

Kimberley Celebrates Family Literacy Week! (January 25 - 30, 2016)

What is Family Literacy? When we celebrate Family Literacy week each January, some may wonder “what exactly does that mean”? Family Literacy refers to the way parents, children, and extended family members use literacy at home and in the community. It is something that occurs naturally during the routines of daily living, and helps children and adults get things done. Most of us spontaneously engage in meaningful and purposeful literacy all of the time, regardless of our socioeconomic, cultural or linguistic differences. Our children learn within this context. This year, we are celebrating Family Literacy with the theme “Let’s Play Together!” Play is vital in children’s lives. It is important for healthy physical, social, emotional and cognitive

development. It helps children make sense of the world around them. Children are active learners, when they play they are experimenting, observing, making mistakes and trying again, imitating, asking questions and listening carefully. This is how they learn. Play is a child’s ‘work’ and allows opportunities to investigate, explore, experiment, mimic - and learn! Parents, grandparents and caregivers have a special role. As children reach school age, they will only spend 900 hours a year in school compared to 7,800 hours outside of school. Clearly, this is important time to influence a child’s development. “Parents have the opportunity to enhance those enjoyable and invaluable learning moments that occur in daily life such as reading street signs, counting forks, and singing silly rhymes,” reflects Diana Card, CBAL literacy facilitator. “These simple

skill-building experiences provide the communication skills, excitement, and motivation to learn that is needed for life-long success.” When parents are more involved and more engaged, children tend to do better academically. Literacy Matters for Children and Youth

on children’s cognitive skills (including language, numeracy and literacy) they can also positively affect motivation, behaviour and self-confidence. Adult learners benefit also, from forming vital social and supportive networks to developing their own skills and further opportunities.

Family Literacy Programs

Kimberley is fortunate to have a number of Family Literacy programs provided through the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) and offered out of the Blarchmont Early Learning Centre. Community partners help make this a vital resource for local families – where they can learn to cook healthy meals with their children, find assistance with learning strategies and homework, or simply enjoy time with other new parents learning songs, rhymes and stories with their toddlers.

Family Literacy programs are designed for both parents / caregivers and children. While they have a significant impact

Learning is a family affair – help celebrate! See the community events listed on this page.

In BC, one in four children is ‘developmentally vulnerable’ when beginning kindergarten and one student in five is not completing high school in the expected time. Almost 4 in 10 youths aged 15 have insufficient reading skills. This has an impact both socially and economically – to an annual cost of $2500 on employment insurance and $4000 on social assistance annually for each high school drop out.

Celebrate Family Literacy Week events! BABY GOOSE Thursday Jan. 28, 10:30 - noon The Baby Goose literacy program will be held at Kimberley Public Library in children’s area. A discussion on Library services and literacy activities for your child will be shared. Snacks and door prizes will be provided. Come with your toddler (0 – 12 months) and celebrate Literacy week!

FAMILY LITERACY FUN Saturday Jan. 30, 10:00 – noon Everyone welcome! Get ready for a fun time with the family at the library – there will be games to play while guest readers will keep the younger children entertained, a visit from the SPCA and other fun events and guest presenters. Book draws will happen on the 1/2 hour with the final draw being at noon for a $75 gift certificate. Refreshments provided – don’t miss out! Organized and sponsored by the Friends of the Kimberley Public Library.

STRONGSTART Jan. 25 - 29 (Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri 9:00 - Noon; Wed 3:30 - 6:30 pm) Families with children under 6 are invited to join StrongStart at the Blarchmont Early Learning Center for fun filled activities to celebrate Family Literacy day. There will be lots of great activities – come join in!

MLA Bennett says Trudeau may regret his resource industry comments made in Davos C anadian Press

B.C.’s mines minister is taking aim at Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for distancing Canada from its natural-resource economy with remarks the leader made at a global economic forum in Switzerland. Bill Bennett says Trudeau

may come to regret saying in a speech that Canada amounts to not just the resources under Canadians’ feet but rather their resourcefulness and what lies between their ears. Bennett says it isn’t an either-or situation, adding that Canada’s resource sector is one

of the most technologically advanced in the world and that its workers are well trained and well educated. Trudeau made the comments last week during his keynote address at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

Bennett made his remarks to reporters at a provincial mineral-exploration conference in Vancouver. He acknowledges the flagging state of the natural-resources economy but insists the world still needs Canada’s resources.

New brewery set to open in Kimberley Townsman staff

Over Time Beer Works is a new brewery opening this summer in Kimberley. Brewery owner and Kimberley resident Kenneth Dodd says the company has been in the works for over a year, and is looking forward to making good pints in Canada’s highest city. “Kimberley deserves to have a good little brewery. It seemed like it was about time,” said Dodd. The brewery will focus on making well-crafted beer, and is looking to create both traditional timeless tastes as well as some more unconventional offerings. “We’re interested in working hard and getting the simple things right. And we’re also excited to take a crack at some more innovative ideas. Kimberley’s a good place for that kind of thing.” Over Time Beer Works anticipates their initial beer offerings will be available locally and regionally beginning in the summer. The brewery is currently under construction in the former Sprout Grocery location, and the Beer Works head brewer will begin operations in March.

Province offers help to struggling mining industry Tom Fle tcher Black Press

The B.C. government has released the first phase of its aerial survey of mineral deposits in a largely unexplored region of northwest B.C. GeoscienceBC, a non-profit established by the province a decade ago to stimulate mining activity in areas affected by the mountain pine beetle epidemic, released data from an area from Smithers south to Kitimat and east to Houston. Maps of geological formations are constructed from magnetic surveys done by helicopter. The results were released Tuesday at the Association for Mineral Exploration B.C. Roundup conference in Vancouver. Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett said the project is assembling the largest geoscience database in B.C. history, with much more precision than an earlier survey in the 1960s. The next phase will be be to the east, from Houston to the Vanderhoof area. The region has had little surface

There are huge zinc, silver, lead deposits out there. They’ve been found before in B.C.” With mining investment stalled by low commodity prices and some existing operations shut down, Premier Christy Clark opened the conference

by announcing a plan to let mining companies defer their BC Hydro bills to keep operating. The bills would have to be paid later with interest, when metal and coal prices recover. The association released its own study before the conference, detailing that more than half of the province is either off limits to mineral exploration or restricted. Some of that is from parks or protected areas, while other areas are subject to land use plans the association

described as “overlapping and sometimes ambiguous.” Bennett said he appreciates the reminder about land restrictions, which he described as difficult to change even when wildlife habitat or other circumstances have changed since restrictions were imposed. The industry also has to accept that public and First Nations expectations have changed greatly in recent years, and mining has to adapt to that reality, he said.

Trump vs. Sanders - vs. Bloomberg? The outcome of the US presidential primaries was supposed to be Hillary Clinton, the wife of an ex-president, vs. Jeb Bush, the son and brother of other ex-presidents: both worthy but somewhat boring candidates, and both definitely members of the “establishment”. Less than a week before the first primary, the Iowa caucuses, Bush is dead in the water and even Clinton is looking vulnerable. In Bush’s place as the Republican front-runner is Donald Trump, billionaire property developer, TV reality star and demagogue, who told a campaign rally last Saturday “I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters.” His arrogance is not misplaced: to the despair of the Republican Party’s hierarchy, he probably has the party’s presidential nomination locked up. Three months ago, Democrats thought this would virtually guarantee Hillary Clinton’s election, as a majority of Americans would refuse to vote for such a crude clown. That was probably correct, but it’s irrelevant if Clinton doesn’t get the Democratic nomination. Ominously, her “socialist” rival, Bernie Sanders, is neck-and-neck with her in Iowa and clearly ahead in the next primary, in New Hampshire. Sanders is also raising as much money from small voluntary donations as Clinton has raised from her rich friends and corporate donors. He can stay in the race right down to the finish, and the belief that he will fade when the more populous states vote in the later primaries is based on the shaky assumption that Americans will never vote for universal government-provided health care, free college tuition and soak-the-rich taxes. Sanders is not really a socialist — fifty

years ago he would have been an unremarkable figure on the left wing of the Democratic Party — but in any case “socialist” is no longer a curse-word in the United States. When pollster Frank Luntz asked “Would you be willing to vote for a socialist?” last June, nearly 60 percent of the Democrats surveyed said yes — and an astonishing 29 percent of the Republicans. Both the major parties are facing a mutiny among their traditional supporters this year. A presidential race between Donald Trump and Bernie Saunders (the Tea Party vs. Occupy Gwynne Wall Street) is entirely possible. But both Dyer Trump and Saunders are too radical for at least a third of American voters. That would leave the middle ground of American politics unoccupied. Enter Michael Bloomberg, another billionaire, who started out as a Democrat, became a Republican to run for mayor of New York City in 2001, and now calls himself an independent. He won’t run if Hillary Clinton still seems likely to win the Democratic nomination — but if Sanders is pulling ahead, he probably will. In a three-way race featuring Trump, Sanders and himself, Bloomberg would be the one “moderate” candidate, and he might even win. The probability that all this will come to pass is still well below 5050, but the fact that it exists at all shows just how far American politics has departed from the usual track. Why? The rise of Trump is mainly due to the fact that gerrymandering has turned 90 percent of the seats in the House of Representatives into safe seats for one party or the other: win the nomination, and the seat is guaranteed. So would-be Republi-

can candidates have to appeal to the party’s strongest supporters, white working-class people without a college education, not to voters in general. A lot of these Republican stalwarts are very, VERY angry. Their incomes are stagnant or falling, and as demography change gradually turns the United States into a country where the minorities are a majority, they feel that they are being marginalised and forgotten. They want their candidate to be angry too, and Donald Trump intuitively understands this and plays to it. Paradoxically, Sanders appeals to some of the same people, because he also represents a radical break with business as usual. Anecdotal evidence suggests that for many people whose first choice is Trump, their second choice is Sanders. But most of Sanders’s support comes from people who are not so much angry as despairing. In the new documentary “Dream On”, comedian John Fugelsang sums up what has driven them farther left than they ever imagined they would go. “America has become a reality show,” he said. “Food, Medicine, Rent: Pick two.” Median US household income in constant dollars is still $4,000 a year lower than it was in 2000, and the ‘American Dream’ is dying if not dead. So it’s a horse-race that anybody could win, unless Hillary Clinton gets the Democratic nomination, in which case she would be the odds-on favourite to win. She even promised last Sunday to “relieve” Michael Bloomberg of the obligation to run by winning the nomination herself. But if she does win, of course, nothing will really change, including an unreformed financial system that is setting us all up for a rerun of the 2008 crash.

Marchi continues phenomenal season as Nitros edge Thunder Cats Kimberley native scores twice, adds assist to build on franchise all-time scoring lead and boost team to victory Taylor Rocc a Sports Editor

Some things just get better with age. For the Kimberley Dynamiters, that something is Jared Marchi. Affectionately referred to as “Grandpa” by his coaches and teammates, Marchi continues to do heavy lifting with captain Jason Richter out of the lineup. The 20-year-old native of Kimberley did it all Tuesday night, scoring twice, setting up another and playing an effective role on the penalty kill as he led the Nitros to a 4-3 victory over the Creston Valley Thunder Cats in KIJHL action at the Kimberley Civic Centre. “Grandpa did a heck of a job,” said Jerry Bancks, head coach of the Kimberley Dynamiters, following Tuesday’s triumph. “He was a man amongst boys out there. He protected the puck, he drove the net a couple more times…He could’ve easily had more. He was definitely a great leader out there tonight, which you need when you’ve got Richter out of the lineup. Someone’s got to step up and he did a great job. “He’s a great kid on and off the ice. He’s as Kimberley as you can be. It means a lot for him to play well here, because he’s always got lots of friends and family [in the crowd]. He’s been a great role model. “It’s hard when you’ve been in the league as long as he has. Sometimes you have some lulls, but that’s to be expected. His lulls don’t last long. You just give him a gentle little reminder that he’s not working that hard and away he goes. He’s been phenomenal the whole time he’s been here. He’s what you want from the Dynamiters as a local guy. He’s a solid, solid person.” The 2015-16 campaign has been a remarkable one for the 5-foot-11 East Kootenay product. Tuesday’s output established new career highs in assists (33) and points (58) for Marchi, who also posted his 24th

and 25th goals of the season, tying the career high he set during the 2013-14 campaign. On top of establishing career marks in all major offensive categories, the locally-produced Marchi recently etched his name in the Kimberley Dynamiters record book, becoming the first player in Junior ‘B’ franchise history to surpass the 200-point plateau while taking a firm grip on the franchise scoring lead. After Tuesday night, Marchi is up to 206 points (94 goals, 112 assists) in 219 games spread across six seasons (2010-11 to 2015-16). Second in Junior ‘B’ franchise scoring is Richter, with 100 goals and 196 points through 177 games. “It’s huge. I grew up watching these guys every Friday, Saturday night,” Marchi said. “I idolized a lot of them growing up. To come here and beat the alltime record for scoring is really something special that I look forward to holding for a while, hopefully.” Marchi’s landmark 200th point came back on Jan. 8 in a 6-4 road win over the Golden Rockets. “I honestly didn’t even know until after the game,” Marchi said. “Buckley just gave me a nice dish down low and I walked out, pulled it to my backhand and it was an empty net so I slid it in there. Really, it’s a surreal moment after you realize that you’ve hit 200 points in the league.” Fast-forward to Tuesday night and Marchi continued to rack up the points, opening the scoring in the first period Tuesday against Creston. Taking a long lead pass from new linemate Brodie Buhler at centre ice, Marchi burned in alone on Thunder Cats goaltender Dawson Fennell before snapping a quick shot home for a 1-0 lead. In the second period, Keenan Haase sparked the man advantage by putting a power-play goal past Fennell. In on the act was Marchi, assisting on the play. “He’s a pretty old guy,

so his wisdom from all the years in this league definitely helps us out,” said the 19-year-old Haase, with a laugh, in regards to his pal on the top power-play unit. “He’s strong on the puck, he guards it really well and many guys can’t get him off the puck. I try to look at that and try to copy what he does.” After Liam Plunkett cut into the 2-0 Dynamiters lead, Marchi saw to restoring the two-goal advantage for the home team. Blazing down the right side, Marchi cut to the net before working his way cross crease, leaving Fennell down and out before roofing the puck to make it 3-1 heading into the second intermission. “I just kept my feet moving all night,” Marchi said. “I was trying to protect the puck as much as I could and take it to the net. Good things were happening for me. You throw a puck on net and it will hopefully find its way in.” Early in the third period Thunder Cats captain Jackson Bruce-Fuoco clawed his team back within one only 3:55 into the final period. At the other end, Fennell did everything in his power to give his squad a chance, including turning aside a grade-A scoring opportunity off a two-on-one that saw Jordan Busch feed Franco Colapaolo. The crosscrease feed looked to be a sure-fire goal for one of the newest Nitros, but the 18-year-old Fennell shot from the right post to his left to make a sparkling stop on Colapaolo and keep the game within reach. Shortly after, veteran Eric Buckley made it 4-2 with his 20th goal of the campaign and the insurance proved necessary as Plunkett registered his second of the night 4:46 later to make it a 4-3 contest. The final minutes of regulation, while nail-biting for the 446 in attendance at the Kimberley Civic Centre, produced nothing in terms of scoring for the visitors, despite Fennell making his way to the bench for the extra attacker.

Jared Marchi racked up two goals and an assist Tuesday night, padding his Kimberley Dynamiters franchise scoring lead and helping his squad to a 4-3 victory over the Creston Valley Thunder Cats. By the end of the night, the Thunder Cats rookie puck stopper turned aside 27 shots, while Mitch Traichevich was steady at the other end, making 16 saves on 19 shots. Both Nitros goaltenders saw ice time Tuesday night, as Tyson Brouwer entered the contest for a whopping 46 seconds in the first period as Traichevich experienced a minor “equipment malfunction,” according to Dynamiters president/ trainer Chad Koran. Brouwer was perfect in his one shift between the pipes, turning aside the lone shot sent his way. After going 0-for-7 on

the man advantage in Friday’s 4-2 win over the Columbia Valley Rockies, the Dynamiters’ third-ranked power-play unit (24.0 per cent) was back in regular form Tuesday, going 1-for-3. Also taking care of business was the Dynamiters’ second-ranked penalty kill (87.9 per cent) as the Thunder Cats went 0-for-5 on the power play Tuesday. Next up, the Dynamiters (34-5-0-4) head to Castlegar to face the Rebels (27-12-2-0) Saturday night.

HOROSCOPES by Jacqueline Bigar

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You’ll slow down by choice. A demanding boss might put the kibosh on a heartfelt project. Once you cool off some, you will put greater effort into a different, more meaningful venture. You refuse to let anyone push you in a certain direction. Tonight: Get some exercise. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Someone enjoys tossing you his or her problems, because he or she believes you have the creativity to sleuth right through them. Your ability to get past present thinking and break away from patterns allows you to see situations in a very different light. Tonight: Out on the town. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You are likely to express a clarity that is unique to you. You’ll recognize where you have created a problem for yourself in a domestic situation. The question remains: How do you fix this issue? A discussion with a partner will be the first step. Tonight: A

cozy night at home. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Don’t do nothing. If someone is disagreeable, make a point of initiating a talk with him or her. You are big on having conversations to clear up problems, but not everyone is responsive to this. Know that you might get nowhere with this person. Tonight: Out on the town. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) After a risk has backfired, you might choose to lie low for a while. Good idea! You might believe that an overly confident associate is probably wrong. How you convey this information to this person will make all the difference in its reception. Tonight: Count your change. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) The Force is with you! You might experience a momentary backfire, but you’ll manage to turn it around into a success story. Use your intuitive and creative senses, and you will come up with a very successful idea, project and/or interaction. Tonight: Be more spontaneous. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Tundra

The smart move is to acknowledge that you don’t feel up to snuff. Playing it low-key works. You have a lot to do involving a family member and a surprise, which you won’t want to disclose as of yet. No one will know unless you reveal it to them. Tonight: Be secretive. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You tend to express yourself in a fiery way. As a result, you could cause yourself a problem; people are not used to this type of behavior and self-expression from you. Once you get past a hurdle and focus on the bottom line, you will be a sure winner. Tonight: As you like it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might feel encumbered by a professional situation. Tap into your imaginative streak. Your resourcefulness is one of your assets, but you often don’t count it as one. You know how to successfully turn around a difficult situation. Tonight: A force to be dealt with. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You’ll ask yourself why you are holding back in a dynamic situ-

ation. You can transform others’ perceptions, yet you might refuse to. What do you gain by not helping others see the big picture? Open doors -- not only for you, but also for those around you. Tonight: Watch a movie. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) To your credit, you are discovering how easily you can relate on a one-on-one level. In fact, a discussion about how you view certain situations, specifically with a key person, is likely to open doors you didn’t even realize existed. Tonight: Celebrate this particular relationship. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might feel bombarded by several associates or loved ones. The cost of popularity is high! Be willing to respond as much as you can, yet still honor your priorities. How you say “no” or “I can’t” will be instrumental in your interactions. Tonight: Get on the phone and return calls.

Rhymes with Orange

By Hillary B. Price

ANNIE’S MAILBOX by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar Dear Annie: Several years ago, I had a much talked about affair with an older married man at my office. It lasted for several years. I was single at the time, and I met him at a very low period in my life. He told me I was smart, pretty and fun to be with. He showered me with flowers and gifts. He led me to believe his marriage was loveless and his only happiness was seeing me at work and talking to me on the phone. We did everything leading up to sex, but never actually completed intercourse due to religious reasons. After a few years, I met the man I am now married to. The older man became very angry and began harassing me, emotionally and verbally. I reported him to my supervisors several times, but it only made matters worse. He has finally retired, but I still feel him watching me. I can’t prove anything, and I can’t tell my husband because he has no idea how involved we were. Aside from warning other women to beware of married men bearing love and gifts, what can I do? -Learned My Lesson Dear Learned: If your affair did not include intercourse and it happened before you met your husband, he may be more understanding than you think. Everyone makes mistakes. Also, if the people in your office are aware of the relationship, your husband may find out about it anyway. A loving spouse can be a tremendous source of support, and your husband may be perfectly willing to forgive this lapse in judgment. Nonetheless, it will help you to talk to someone, and if your husband is not the right person, please consider discussing your fears with a counselor or clergyperson. The more serious problem is the possibility that the ex is stalking you. If you ever catch him watching your home, car or office, or following you anywhere, please notify the police immediately and, if necessary, get a restraining order. Dear Annie: I have read many letters in your column from mothers-in-law who don’t understand why they have a strained relationship with their daughters-in-law. May I add a perspective from the other side? We lived a couple of miles from my inlaws. We had a good relationship until our children were born. Then my MIL dropped in unannounced at least once a day. She refused to call in advance, despite numerous requests to do so. Her attitude was overbearing and critical. She had nothing positive to say, and criticized our house, child rearing and financial decisions. She loudly and repeatedly accused me of putting my kids in front of the TV all day, which was blatantly untrue. A new job across the country helped separate me from her venom. Her terrible behavior and her efforts to hang on to her son cost her a decent relationship with my husband and any connection to her grandchildren. Perhaps the letter writers need to honestly examine their own behavior to determine the cause of their family strife. It isn’t always the daughter-in-law. -- Been There, Survived Dear Been: How sad for everyone. We hope all estranged family members will make a genuine effort to consider whether their own actions need adjusting before placing the blame on the other person.

A Vancouver MP has sponsored a new e-petition, or electronic petition, asking the federal government to ban the import and sale of dog and cat fur in Canada, a move supported by the BC SPCA.

BEAN is a beautiful short haired torbie, she is 4 years old. Bean is a very affectionate loving girl, she is good with most other cats and has never lived with a dog. She would do best in a home that will allow her both indoors and outdoors as she is a good mouser.

Created by The Association for the Protection of Fur-Bearing Animals and sponsored by Vancouver Kingsway MP Don Davies, the petition, e-123, will be formally introduced in the House of Commons if it receives 100,000 signatures by May 17, 2016.

“Cat and dog fur can be used in many products that the general public may not be aware of,” says Geoff Urton, BC SPCA senior manager, stakeholder relations. “It is typically found on things like the trim of a jacket, or lining in a pair of boots or gloves, or the plush exterior of a ‘stufﬁe’ toy.”

LUMBERTON is a big 3 year old boy, he is all black with short hair. Lumberton loves being outdoors to do his hunting! He is friendly and loves being pet/brushed and cuddled. Lumberton is okay with some cats and is very good with dogs.

Sadly, that means domestic dogs and cats and raccoon dogs, who are a member of the canine family, are raised and kept in tiny cages and eventually, slaughtered for their meat and fur in many foreign countries, Urton notes. Dog and cat fur remains legal to import and sell in Canada, although the United States, the UK, Australia and the European Union have all prohibited the practice.

“The BC SPCA believes that all animals should enjoy, as a minimum, ﬁve essential freedoms, and (dogs and cats) living their entire lives in tiny cages only to be slaughtered does not align with those freedoms,” says Urton. “Many people might not know that the ‘faux’ fur trim on their coat actually contains real fur because there is no requirement for labelling. We support the ban and encourage all animal lovers to take the time to sign the e-petition.” Any Canadian resident can sign the petition, by clicking here: https://petitions.parl.gc.ca/en/Account/Register Once registered, sign in and navigate to petition e-123 or click here: https://petitions.parl.gc.ca/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-123 The British Columbia Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is a not-forproﬁt organization reliant on public donations.
