Canucks for Kids Fund Donates
$10k
to Archway Family Programs on Family Day Game
The Canucks for Kids Fund will present a $10,000 cheque to Archway Community Services during the Abbotsford Canucks game on Monday, February 17.
The donation will help the Archway Abby Dads and Family Centre programs support parents in Abbotsford.
"We’re incredibly grateful to the Abbotsford Canucks for their generous support," said Reg Unrau, supervisor of Archway’s Abby Dads program. "This donation will help us provide necessary services and support to families in Abbotsford."
The Abby Dads program supports local fathers in building healthier relationships with their families, while Archway’s Family Centre fosters the well-being of individuals and families through friendly and supportive meeting places where adults and children can share quality time together.
“This support comes at a perfect time as we celebrate Family Day in BC. We look
forward to a wonderful game and thank the Abbotsford Canucks for making this Family Day even more special," said Tania Rempel, supervisor of Archway’s Family Centre program.
“Hockey isn't just a sport – it's a tradition that brings families together, creating lasting memories on and off the ice,” said Jim Kozak, COO, Abbotsford Canucks & Abbotsford Centre. “On Family Day, there's no better way to celebrate the bonds that unite us than by supporting our local community. We look forward to gathering with the Abbotsford Canucks family on Monday and supporting these Archway programs for parents.”
The game starts at 2:00pm on Monday, February 17 at Abbotsford Centre, where the Abbotsford Canucks will play the Colorado Eagles.

B.C., First Nations Justice Council open 6 more Indigenous justice centres
The Province, in partnership with the BC First Nations Justice Council (BCFNJC), is opening six Indigenous justice centres, fulfilling a commitment to establish 15 Indigenous justice centres (IJCs) throughout B.C.
Niki Sharma, Attorney General, was joined by the BCFNJC in Kamloops to celebrate opening the six new centres in Kamloops, Williams Lake, Cranbrook, Port Hardy, Fort St. John and a shared location serving the communities of Burns Lake and Hazelton.
may vary based on the needs, strengths and services available in each community, but are initially focused on criminal defence and child protection matters.
“All Indigenous Peoples, regardless of whether they qualify for legal aid, can access free, culturally informed legal and outreach services at IJCs,” Sharma said. “I am grateful to all our partners in delivering services that help build resilient communities and improve our justice system.”
“It is incredible to reflect on what First Nations, the BC First Nations Justice Council and the Province have collaboratively achieved – a network of 15 Indigenous justice centres across B.C.,” said Kory Wilson, chair, BCFNJC. “IJCs provide Indigenous clients with optimum legal representation and access to wraparound services that extend beyond their legal needs. As those accessing our services often feel overwhelmed and disconnected from community, IJCs embrace them with care, honour their cultural identity and protect them from falling through the cracks.”
With the opening of these IJCs, the BCFNJC, the Province and Canada have completed Strategy 4 of the BC First Nations Justice Strategy. Strategy 4 is a key commitment that calls for establishing a network of 15 IJCs throughout B.C. These six new centres join the existing nine physical centres in Chilliwack, Kelowna, Merritt, Nanaimo, Prince George, Prince Rupert, Surrey, Vancouver and Victoria, along with the virtual centre serving the province remotely.
IJCs address systemic barriers faced by Indigenous Peoples in the justice system by offering culturally appropriate legal advice, representation and referrals to local support services directly to Indigenous people at the community level. The range of services and the focus in each location
The IJCs aim to help Indigenous people in the justice system address the root causes of their involvement and offer supports to help prevent future interactions with police and the justice system. Legal and outreach teams at the IJCs use their diverse community, cultural and professional expertise to support the healing and restorative-justice journeys of Indigenous clients. Through resource and support workers, clients may be referred to services such as housing, employment services, and mental-health and addictions treatment.
“Tkemlúps te Secwépemc is pleased to be the home of a brand-new Indigenous justice centre, where our communities can seek legal representation alongside wraparound services in an environment that feels culturally safe,” said Kúkpi7 (Chief) Rosanne Casimir, Tkemlúps te Secwépemc. “We extend our appreciation to the BC First Nations Justice Council and the Province for addressing and working toward better systems of justice for Indigenous Peoples. The relief, safety and support this centre brings will ripple through our community with positive effects.”
Indigenous justice centres are a key part of the Province's commitment to implement the BC First Nations Justice Strategy and advance reconciliation under the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act. They are also a key action in the Province’s Safer Communities Action Plan.
More sheriffs will safeguard court visitors
A graduating class of 24 B.C. sheriffs will soon begin their careers keeping people safe at courthouses throughout the province.
Niki Sharma, Attorney General, welcomed the graduates from the Justice Institute of British Columbia’s winter class at a ceremony on Wednesday, Feb. 5, 2025. They will be assigned to work in courthouses throughout the Province, including Victoria, Nanaimo, Penticton, Oliver, Quesnel, Dawson Creek, Terrace, Fort St. John and the Lower Mainland. Without sheriffs, court matters cannot proceed. Sheriffs maintain a safe environment for everyone delivering justice services in 90 court locations throughout B.C. They are highly trained peace officers who provide protective services for the Crown, judiciary, defence, court staff, the public and all participants in the justice system. Sheriffs also protect court
users, transport accused and convicted people to and from correctional institutions, and perform other duties.
The winter class will continue training until March 6, 2025. Their first day on duty will be March 7. The next sheriff-recruit training class will start in the spring.
The BC Sheriff Service (BCSS) is recognized as an international leader in providing protective and enforcement services for the justice system. The BCSS is the oldest-law enforcement agency in B.C.
The Province is collaborating with the BCSS to enhance recruitment, retention and training. The BCSS is focusing on deployment and growth opportunities, and implementing a more-competitive pay and benefits framework for sheriffs.
More than 200 supportive homes, shelter spaces on the way throughout B.C.
People will have more affordable housing options in their communities with more than 200 supportive homes, shelter spaces, culturally supportive homes and homes for seniors opening or starting construction.
“We’re building supportive homes and shelters to help people get on a better path to living full, healthy lives,” said Ravi Kahlon, Minister of Housing and Municipal Affairs. “We’re also investing in affordable, culturally appropriate housing so more Indigenous people and seniors have a place they can call home, in the community they love. We know more needs to be done, and by speeding up building approvals and construction timelines and working with our partners, we’re helping more people find a home that meets their needs.”
In December 2024, construction began on a supportive housing project in New Westminster, which will include 52 permanent supportive homes. In Kamloops, a new shelter called Pathways is open at 142 Tranquille Rd., which includes 44 new shelter spaces. In Prince George, 42 new indoor units are open at 397 3rd Ave. These permanent homes and temporary shelter spaces will further support people at risk or experiencing homelessness in the communities.
The Province and BC Housing are working with Indigenous non-profit housing providers, First Nations and other Indigenous organiza-
tions to create new affordable and culturally appropriate homes. In Victoria, a new culturally supportive home with 15 units is available for First Nations, Inuit and Métis people who are pregnant, or have recently given birth and are at risk of homelessness. Eight Snuneymuxw First Nations families have moved into new affordable homes located on reserve at 1968-1982 Warpath Rd.
More seniors will be able to age with dignity with the supports they need in affordable homes, where they feel safe and connected. In Peachland, construction has begun on Phase II of the Peachland Seniors’ Support Society’s affordable housing residences at 4444 5th St. The building will provide 73 affordable homes for seniors in the community.
The Province will continue to enhance the delivery of supportive and complex-care housing in a manner that keeps residents and others safe. These housing projects will deliver 234 permanent homes and temporary shelter spaces in six B.C. communities.
These projects are part of the B.C. government’s $19-billion investment in homes for people and actions to drive the construction of more homes people can afford. Since 2017, the Province has more than 90,000 homes delivered or underway, with actions underway to help deliver thousands more over the next 10 years.

Families will benefit from new child care spaces at Marysville Elementary school
More families in Kimberley will have access to affordable, quality child care with 148 new child care spaces opening soon at Marysville Elementary school.
“This new child care centre in Kimberley will benefit hard-working families and the whole community for years to come,” said Rohini Arora, B.C.’s parliamentary secretary for child care. “It is a great example of how we are working with community partners to build new child care centres where people need them most throughout B.C.”
Construction of a new child care centre on school grounds was made possible by more than $8.8 million from the ChildCareBC New Spaces Fund. This fund is jointly supported by provincial investments and federal funding under the 2021-22 to 2025-26 Canada-British Columbia Canada-wide Early Learning and Child Care Agreement.
“Everyone deserves access to affordable child care close to home. These new spots in Kimberley support our children’s well-being and help meet parents’ needs,” said Jenna Sudds, federal Minister of Families, Children and Social Development. “It's a significant investment in our children’s future and the strength of our communities.”
School districts throughout B.C. are partnering with the provincial govern-
ment to create new child care spaces to help address the child care needs of families within their communities. Child care on school grounds makes life easier for families by requiring only one dropoff and pickup location, streamlining their daily routines, reducing stress and creating a smoother transition for children.
“This project certainly represents an example of what can be accomplished through exemplary community collaboration,” said Aaron Callaghan, superintendent, Rocky Mountain School District. “Our heartfelt thanks go out to everyone involved in this undertaking, including the City of Kimberley and Columbia Basin Trust. We are especially grateful to our partner, Summit Community Services Society, whose expertise and dedication will now bring this facility to life, providing essential child care services for families in Kimberley.”
Since 2018, ChildCareBC’s accelerated space creation programs have helped fund the creation of more than 40,000 new licensed child care spaces in B.C., with more than 23,000 of these operational. Funding the creation of new child care spaces is part of the Province’s ChildCareBC plan to build access to affordable, quality, inclusive child care as a core service families can rely on.
New B.C. council will advocate for forestry workers
The Province has formed a new council to advance British Columbia’s interests in the long-standing softwood lumber dispute with the United States.
The council brings together leaders from the forestry sector and labour, alongside experts on U.S. relations and officials from the B.C. government.
The B.C. Softwood Lumber Advisory Council convened its first meeting on Jan. 30, 2025, and will meet regularly. It advises the Minister of Forests on the dispute, including the sixth administrative review, providing recommendations on steps B.C. can take to eliminate the 14.4% softwood lumber duties. The council will also help the Province advocate to the federal government as these duties continue to take their toll on B.C.’s forestry sector.
“The U.S. has imposed unjustified softwood lumber duties on Canada for years, and we anticipate that they will likely double before the end of this year,” said Ravi Parmar, Minister of Forests. “Bringing this team together, I am ready to throw the full weight of B.C. in the ring to fight these duties. We are going to defend the hardworking forestry workers of B.C. from these unfair duties.”
Parmar will chair the council with a focus on diplomatic and trade strategy and measures to fight for B.C.’s interests in the softwood lumber dispute with the U.S. Council members are:
Harry Bains, former minister of labour, Government of B.C.
Dan Battistella, former president, Interior Lumber Manufacturers’ Association
Linda Coady, former president and CEO, BC Council of Forest Industries
Geoff Dawe, national president, Public and Private Workers of Canada
Rick Doman, chairman, Boreal Carbon Corporation and former forestry executive
Scott Lunny, western director, United Steelworkers
Gavin McGarrigle, western regional director, Unifor
Ric Slaco, former vice-president and chief forester, Interfor
Dallas Smith, president and CEO, Nanwakolas Council
“The U.S. forest industry alleges that Canadian softwood lumber is subsidized and companies sell in the U.S. at below-market prices,” Parmar said. “This is wrong; these allegations couldn’t be farther from the truth. We’ve been very clear that we’re happy to come to the table, but that can’t happen if the U.S. industry isn’t willing to negotiate.”
Although this dispute with the U.S. goes back decades, this most recent iteration of the dispute follows the expiry of the Softwood Lumber Agreement in 2015. At the request of the U.S. lumber industry, the U.S. imposed duties on Canadian softwood lumber, starting in 2017. The B.C. government has worked with the Government of Canada to pursue claims through all available avenues, including under the North American Free Trade Agreement, the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement, the World Trade Organization and the U.S. Court of International Trade.
Past dispute settlement panels have consistently ruled in Canada’s favour in the ongoing softwood lumber dispute, determining that B.C.’s forest policies are compliant with international agreements.

Buying a new home? Here’s what
When looking for a new house, many of us focus on theinterior features of a property, like a stunning kitchen or exposed brick walls in the living room. But finding a place that will make you and your family happy for years to come is also about the community you’ll be living in.
Here are some features to look for in your new neighbourhood:
Pedestrian friendly. Pedestrian-only spaces and walkways foster safer environments for everyone by reducing traffic congestion and providing areas for children to play. A community designed with
pedestrians in mind also encourages a healthier, greener lifestyle that prioritizes walking over driving.
Front porch living. Homes with accessible front porches can let you spend more time outside and get to know your neighbours. This simple feature promotes a friendly, inviting atmosphere where people connect casually and build relationships over time.
Access to the core. Proximity to the city centre is another factor that may affect your daily life. Being close to downtown offers convenience, reduces commute times and provides easy access to work,
makes a good neighbourhood
entertainment and services.
Green spaces. Access to green spaces such as parks and trails is essential for your physical and mental well-being. These areas mean more space for outdoor activities, relaxation and community events.
Builders of new homes and thoughtfully planned developments like Alpine
3 surprising safety features to look for in a home
If you’re searching for your dream home and neighbourhood, safety is likely one of your top priorities. But while most buyers focus on security systems and local crime rates, the materials and design of a house each play an equally important role in keeping you and your family safe.
Here are three often overlooked safety features to consider when house hunting: Rear-facing garages. Homes with garages located at the back of the property help reduce traffic on front streets, making the area safer for pedestrians and kids playing outside. By routing cars to laneways, these designs create quieter, less congested
streets that can give parents peace of mind and create more walkable communities.
Front porches. Front porches do more than add curb appeal, they encourage social interaction among your neighbours and a more connected community. Knowing there are friendly faces sitting on their front porches helps build a sense of safety.
Fire-resistant siding. When it comes to building materials, stucco or Hardie plank siding both offer an added layer of safety. These durable materials are fire resistant, reducing the likelihood that your home will catch fire. In areas prone to wildfires or extreme heat, stucco or Hardie siding
can provide priceless protection, potentially saving lives and reducing property damage.
As you search for your perfect home, keep in mind how design can contribute to a safer investment. New, thoughtfully planned communities like Alpine Park, apply these and other safety features from the start, and are a great option for families.
How to decorate your front porch for all-season weather
A beautiful front porch welcomes you home, invites visitors in and can be a relaxing spot to spend time reading or people watching. But our unpredictable weather makes it hard to keep up a stylish look year-round. Here are some ideas you can try:
Durable furniture. Start with good-quality furniture designed for the outdoors—opt for weather-resistant materials like teak or wrought iron, which can withstand both snow and rain. Add cozy touches with outdoor cushions and throws made from water-resistant fabrics. Even better, an outdoor storage bench is the perfect
weatherproofing solution to protect upholstered cushions from the elements.
The right plants. In the summer, embrace the warmer temperatures and create a beautiful space with potted plants like hardy perennials, including hostas, peonies and coneflowers that thrive in Canadian climates. Hanging baskets can also brighten up a front porch, and your roof will offer some protection from hail, rain damage and direct sunlight.
Quality lighting. Add warmth to your porch with sustainable lighting, such as solar-powered lanterns or Edison
bulb string lights. Consider spending a little more to purchase resilient, weatherproof lights that are built to withstand outdoor conditions.
If you’re in the market for a new home this spring, a cozy front porch, like those featured in new community developments like Alpine Parkcan add curb appeal and make the place feel more like home, sooner.
Park can factor in these positive neighbourhood features from the start.
Tips to improve your credit score
What do renting an apartment, financing a vehicle and getting approved for a credit card all have in common? Your credit score plays an important role in all three.
Your credit score represents an assessment of your ability to repay borrowed money or fulfill financial obligations. The score itself — a three-digit number between 300 and 900 — is based on your credit history. Here are some tips to keep in mind:
Start by knowing your number. Learning your own credit score is called a “soft” check and doesn’t have any negative impact on the score itself.
If you have a credit card, pay it off monthly. Paying your bill in full and on time each month helps build your credit history in the long run. A good tip is to only use your credit card for purchases you know you can pay off to avoid going into debt.
Pay bills when they’re due. This applies to car payments, hydro or your cellphone, for example. It can help establish a track record of being a reliable borrower. If it is challenging to remember your due dates, consider setting up pre-authorized payments or creating calendar alerts to remind you.
Catch up on missed payments. If you do miss a payment, try to commit to
getting caught up as soon as possible.
Keep tabs on your overall debt load. Mortgage debt, personal loans and credit card balances can easily add up. Monitor your total debt to ensure it doesn’t become unmanageable for you.
Remember, it’s important to regularly check your credit score. To help make this easier, some banks like TD allow customers who use their app to check their credit scores for free.
5 tips for teaching your kids about money
Many parents today believe their children will face greater financial challenges in life than they did, especially when it comes to achieving major milestones like buying a home or retiring. One way to help set your kids up for success is by talking about money and teaching them good financial habits early.
“By fostering an open dialogue about finances, parents are not just teaching their kids about saving and budgeting, they’re helping them to build a more secure financial future,” explains Emily Ross, vice president of everyday advice at TD.
Here are some tips to get started:
Create age-specific finance goals. Tweens and teens can work towards a bigger purchase, like a new laptop or special activity. Younger kids can save birthday money for a toy or learn about saving money at the grocery store by comparing prices of items.
Provide an allowance. Consider starting with a small amount, and chat with parents who have kids of a similar age to see what they’re giving. You can consider connecting the allowance to completing chores like setting the table or vacuuming.
Take your child along on bank visits. If you’re looking to start your child’s saving journey or have a teen who’s
ready to take the next step towards their financial goals, you can speak with a personal banker at your branch.
Check out online resources. There are online resources and games that can help build financial literacy at home for kids as young as three years old up until the age of 18.
Develop a budget together. Look for money management tools. For example,TD has MySpend, which can help teenagers who have a
work towards their saving goals.
It’s tax season: Are you ready?
Tax season comes around every year, but it can still manage to catch many of us by surprise. In fact, according to a recent survey, less than a third of Canadians feel confident in knowing when to contribute to a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) versus a Tax-free savings account (TFSA). Fortunately, there are some steps you can take to feel more prepared.
“It’s no secret that people are feeling the impact of the current economic climate, and that’s why it’s more important than ever to seek trusted advice,” explains Pat Giles, vice president of saving and investing at TD. “Having the right financial support can make a significant difference when it comes to planning for both shortand long-term financial goals.”
also develop a plan suited to your financial goals and show you how to start making smart investments.
Speaking with a personal banker or financial advisor can help you understand the different savings options available, and their benefits come tax time. They can
This type of one-on-one guidance can assist those who believe they aren’t saving enough to reach their long-term financial goals, which is over half the country, according to a recent survey.
Remember, setting a financial plan doesn’t require a large amount to start; it’s about
cultivating a habit of investing and sticking to it. A personal banker can help you build it based on your unique needs and how much you want to contribute. No amount is too small to start saving or investing.

DRY EYE DISEASE COULD BE DRY OR WATERY EYES
It’s a fact! Most people with watery or burning eyes don’t suspect they may have dry eye disease, also called dry eye syndrome. After all, it feels like their eyes are too wet, not too dry! So how could watery, burning eyes be dry?
Healthy eyes produce comforting, lubricating tears all the time. Additionally, more watery tears might form sometimes to clear out debris or comfort a temporary irritation. But if the irritation persists, you may say it “feels like something in my eye”. Very irritating. Besides stinging, wet, burning eyes, other symptoms of dry eye include:
• Discomfort wearing contact lenses
• “Scratchy” eyes
• Mucus in or near eyes
• Irritation and excessive tearing
• Blurred vision / eye fatigue
• Sensitivity to light
• Redness
• Difficulty driving at night
Staring at our phones and screens has all of us blinking much less frequently, which can definitely get our eyes burning and may lead to permanent injury. At other times, dry eye can be caused by allergies, chemicals, or wind. Even using the wrong makeup can cause dry eye. In many cases, there are internal changes in the body that lead to dry eye.
People of all ages and stages of life can suffer from dry eye, including children. Here are other additional
factors:
• Over age 50 (tear production lessens with age)
• Had cataract or laser surgery
• A woman (lack of tears can occur during hormonal changes linked to pregnancy, birth control, or menopause)
• Eating a diet low in vitamin A (found in liver, carrots, broccoli) or low in omega-3 fatty acids
• Wearing contact lenses
• Taking certain medications or undergoing chemotherapy
These can all result in chronically dry, watering, irritated, and burning eyes.
The good news is that no matter which specific cause, dry eye can be successfully managed with
professional preservative-free products, such as BioDrop MD lubricating eye drops, eye supplements such as FitEyez Vegan Gummies and a good, heated eye mask, such as the OcuSci Hot/Cold compress (sometimes cold feels better). ALWAYS MAKE SURE YOU USE EYE DROPS WITH NO PRESERVATIVES! Look for the words “PRESERVATIVE-FREE” on the box and label.

Leveraging Technology for Development: Democratization of Technology
By Debnath Shaw
Technology is an important factor for global development. Development is a core issue for the Global South, many of whose members are being left behind in achieving their Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The key factors behind this unequal state of affairs are technology, finance and information. Thomas Friedman has argued, that the era of globalisation has been characterized by democratization of technology, finance and information (The World is Flat, 2004). However, with the pace of globalization slowing down, particularly since the Covid pandemic, democratization of technology too has taken a hit.
Democratization of technology refers to the process by which access to technology progressively become more easily available to more people at reasonable cost. Historically, the printing press is the earliest recorded instance of technology opening new frontiers of knowledge dissemination, leading to empowerment of a greater number of people. Since the mid-1990s, the internet has been the prime vehicle of universal democratization of knowledge and information.
The effects of democratization of technology have been dramatic, more so with digitization. New technologies and improved user experiences have empowered those outside of the technology industry to access and use technological products and services. In India, think - UPI, mobile banking WhatsApp, X, etc, - tools being used regularly by the country’s 900 million mobile phones users, mostly connected to the internet, including
a vast user base in rural areas. The ‘open source’ model allows users to participate directly in development of software. Upgrades in communication technology have made the globe more interconnected than ever.
Democratization of technology has helped ‘the last person in the queue’ to access public services with ease and reduced corruption, get timely access to relief when hit by natural disasters, and useful and reliable information allowing meaningful participation in the democratic process. It has made markets more broad-based and diversified and consumers are able to use complex technological products without the guidance of qualified professionals. Such job categories have taken a hit, a situation whose downward spiral is being perpetrated by developments in artificial intelligence and machine learning technology.
However, we should not lose sight of the challenges faced by democratization of technology, which is hampered by the slow pace of digitization and infrastructure gaps, particularly in developing countries. Gender and social inequities restricting access to and use of technology, and the data divide, too needs to be addressed. Cyber security and data privacy concerns are felt at all levels. What is comforting is that both governments and technology-driven companies are addressing these concerns, while moving ahead with their programmes to harness technology for the benefit of the masses.
In India, the democratization of technology is manifested in some remark-
able programmes which have changed the lives of millions. The prime example is the Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI), part of the ‘India Stack’, which operates digital identification, payments and data management. The Common Service Centres (CSC) are the access points for delivery of government to citizen (G2C) e-services, within reach of citizens by creating nation-wide physical service delivery ICT infrastructure. The Namo Drone Didi initiative has many goals, including addressing gender inequality issues, empowerment and pride among women, modernization of agricultural practices, and substantial income to the rural women folk. The two hundred thousand Aayushman Aarogya Mandirs in India’s villages directly connect health centres with the best hospitals and modern technology, bringing professional medical expertise and services, largely concentrated in urban areas, to rural India. The India AI Mission or ‘AI for All’ is aimed at the democratization of the benefits of AI across all strata of society.
A key issue, particularly for the Global South, which has been pursued vigourously by India, is the growing gap between developed and developing countries in the access and endogenous production and development of climate technologies. This has been a key constraint on collective progress in global efforts to achieve sustainable development and effective climate action under UNFCC and the Paris Agreement. Developing countries view technology transfer and capacity building as the key to reducing the
technology and wealth gap. Both climate mitigation and adaption require huge funding transfers from developed countries as per past commitments. Unfortunately, even at COP29 in Baku last year, the level of funding pledged was nowhere near the level required to achieve set goals. There have been repeated calls for enhanced international cooperation arrangements, through reform of existing WTO mandated trade rules, to permit developing countries to protect emerging green industries through tariffs, subsidies and public procurement.
The ray of hope in the horizon is that industries driven by frontier technologies like blockchain, drones, gene editing, nano technology, electric vehicles, solar and wind energy and green hydrogen could create a market of over $ 9.5 billion by 2030 (UNCTAD estimate). Some developing and emerging economies like India have made important policy changes to seize some of the opportunities in these sectors. It is hoped that with increasing democratization of technology and effective partnership between developed and developing countries, mankind’s development goals will be reached sooner than later.

New legislation will accelerate B.C. renewable energy projects
To ensure rapid permitting and robust regulation of renewable energy projects, the Province will introduce legislation in spring 2025 allowing the regulation of renewable energy projects, such as wind and solar, to move under the authority of the BC Energy Regulator (BCER). Adrian Dix, Minister of Energy and Climate Solutions, made the announcement in the presence of successful First Nations and clean-energy partners who gathered to celebrate the signing of their electricity purchase agreements (EPAs) with BC Hydro, which will generate between $5 billion and $6 billion in private capital spending throughout the province.
The legislation will also enable the BCER to be the primary regulatory authority for authorizations associated with the construction of the North Coast Transmission Line (NCTL) and other high-voltage electricity transmission projects. This will help accelerate the expansion of British Columbia’s electricity grid and meet the demand in growth arising from critical mineral and metal mining, port electrification, hydrogen and fuel processing, and shipping projects under consideration.
“Along with other natural resources projects, these critical projects have been identified by the Province as priorities that are ready to move forward, with the potential to generate significant employment to support our
economy in the face of potential tariffs by the U.S. government,” Dix said. “Now, with electricity purchase agreements signed by all of the wind and solar projects selected in the recent BC Hydro Call for Power and the BC Energy Regulator poised to be regulator for permitting these projects, British Columbia is on a clear trajectory to deliver the clean, affordable and reliable power people and industry need, and meaningfully grow and diversify our economy.”
This announcement builds on the Province's intent to exempt all future wind projects from the environmental assessment process, including the nine wind projects that are now under signed electricity purchase agreements with BC Hydro. It will create a single-window permitting process for renewable energy projects. The BC Energy Regulator will take a staged approach, focusing initially on the North Coast Transmission Line and other prescribed highvoltage transmission lines, and the wind and solar projects.
The new legislation, to be introduced by the Ministry of Energy and Climate Solutions, will extend the BC Energy Regulator’s existing legal authorities and responsibilities to the new development activities relevant to the different energy projects.
The BC Energy Regulator is an experienced organization that has demonstrated expertise at getting projects moving quickly, while providing robust regulatory oversight through the lifecycle of projects. This is a natural evolution of the BC Energy Regulator’s role, which initially focused on oil, gas and geothermal development, then expanded to include hydrogen, ammonia and methanol, and now to renewable energy. The BC Energy Regulator will bring its expertise and capacity to the province’s broader stewardship efforts for water, land and resources.
“The BC Energy Regulator is committed to permitting efficiency and robust regulatory oversight of B.C.’s oil, gas and other energy resources,” said Michelle Carr, commissioner and chief executive officer, BC Energy Regulator. “With our single-window approach to permitting through the full lifecycle of development, commitment to operational excellence and stewardship in the public interest, commitment to First Nation consultation and management of land-owner interests, the BC Energy Regulator is well positioned to apply that expertise to renewables and to support the province’s transition to low-carbon energy.”
The Province is committed to working in cooperation with First Nations partners, and is engaging with Nations across the province on the approach to the proposed legislation.
“Designating the BCER as the single regulator for renewables helps ensure B.C. can meet its growing electricity demand and bring renewable energy projects online sooner,” said Kwatuuma Cole Sayers, executive director, Clean Energy Association of British Columbia. “In the 2024 Call for Power, 11 CEBC members, including First Nations and industry leaders, were selected as successful proponents for both wind and solar projects, demonstrating how meaningful partnerships drive major projects and deliver sustainable energy solutions. An effective regulatory framework must foster investment in these collaborations, uphold Indigenous rights and title, and maintain B.C.’s world-class environmental standards. We look forward to working alongside government, First Nations and industry to shape a clean-energy future that benefits all British Columbians.”
The BC Energy Regulator has a team of more than 300 professionals in seven offices located throughout B.C. Subject-matter experts include biologists, engineers, hydrologists, agrologists, compliance and enforcement officers, First Nations liaison officers, heritage conservation officers and archeologists. The BC Energy Regulator will hire additional staff and subject-matter experts as authorities are added.

Any hectic activity that has just started to You are in a good position to make some final decisions on something you may have first considered late July to mid August. The position of somebody else may be clearer now, particularly if they decide to bring something to an end. If this does happen it can make it easier in some way when it comes to normal routines in life.
Someone else can be very straightforward as to what they either like or expect from you. Be careful you don’t read into this more than is being offered, particularly if there is an expectation for you to take on responsibilities or to put things in place. Make decisions up to late September that will keep you in control of your finances.
Whatever you had to rethink when it comes to putting things in place since mid August will now allow you to be clear of mind to late September when it comes to something that might have been first discussed late July to mid August. You can now make decisions that please you. Don’t be tempted to spend too much though.
You are in an excellent position to be able to make decisions to late September that will take your life forward. You can feel as though you have greater personal choice or some control at last. There might be a second stage to this from January to April next year and for this reason it could be wise to ensure there is some flexibility.
Whatever financial decisions you may have first considered from late July to mid August can now be looked at more thoroughly, especially in relation to the best actions to take to be able to move forward. You need to be able to satisfy your own priorities, which may not necessarily fit in with the expectations of somebody else.
You are in a good position to come to realisations regarding any situations where you might feel as though you are taking on more than is reasonable on a regular basis. This is more about making decisions to bring matters to an end where commitments attached will have an inhibiting effect on possible future accomplishments.
Focus on anything you are determined to develop more for your own independence in the future. You can realise that contemplation alone will not move things forward. From now to early September you need to look at the commitments that would need to be taken on. Doing this in stages will help you to get used to the changes.
You could come to the realisation, from now to late September, that it is better to scale down ideas you might have had late July to mid August to be able to take these things into the future successfully. Others might have bigger ambitions but you can be happier with small steps, allowing you to have a feeling of better control.
Having absolute confidence about how you stand on any matter will engender respect from others, even though they may not fully agree with you. This could result in clarity when it comes to commitment and support, which may have been an issue from late July to mid August and was left hanging. Be mindful of the obligations you take on.
Something you thought had become evident since mid August where someone else’s decision making is concerned could again become more unknown to late September. It could be that they need to withdraw to make final decisions. These could involve taking your priorities into account as well as generating some sort of pleasure in life.
You are in a position to late September to contemplate future plans and possibilities that you may have wanted from late July to mid August but could not finalise. You have the opportunity to engage with others and get a response. This could also have a lot to do with leaving the past behind up to 20th November so you can move on with a new life direction.
Something that wasn’t made perfectly clear or finalised by somebody else between late July and mid August can now return to late September where final decisions need to be made by them. It can be up to you to ensure they do not avoid responsibilities that could leave you with too much to get properly organised or put into place.

2025 Toyota Tacoma Hybrid Trailhunter – The Ultimate Tacoma pickup!
The Toyota Tacoma is Canada’s bestselling model in the midsize truck segment. And it is not hard to see why, as always offering an excellent combination of good looks, performance, reliability, and good resale. For 2025, the Toyota Tacoma Trailhunter Hybrid is a new addition to the line up. This is a more adventure themed version of the beloved truck and takes its cues and amplifies them from the awesome Toyota TRD Pro trim lineup. Do note, while the Base Tacoma HEV is priced at $63,390 – the Trailhunter version as tested adds a whopping $19,016 worth of options (Final price - $85,016 including freight and PDI).
First off is the lifted suspension – 51 mm (2.0 in) up front, 38 mm (1.5 in) in the back – and Goodyear Wrangler Territory all-terrain tires with exclusive- neat -looking bronze finished wheels. Also added are flared wheel arch fenders, pro- grade underbody rock sliders, heavy duty ARB steel bumpers and tow-points front and rear. The Trailhunter also has after market Rigid accessory and fog lights that can be alternated to clear and amber.
Emphasizing its adventure ready lifestyle chops, there is also an onboard air compressor to inflate tires or accessories. A high-mounted air intake along the passenger-side B-pillar adds to the no-nonsense macho looks substantially. It is one impressive looking truck for sure.
Review by Veeno Dwan.
In terms of powertrains, the previous turbo V6 is now replaced by a hybrid version of this powertrain, as standard on the Trailhunter. This new unit still pumps out 278 horsepower and combined with hybrid 48-hp electric motor makes up an impressive 326 horses. The nickel–metal hydride (NiMH) battery has a capacity of 1.87 kWh and is self charging. Torque is main thing here with a gobsmacking 200 lb-ft increase to 465 hp. The transmission is an eight-speed automatic transmission with a low-range transfer case and selectable four-wheel drive. the Trailhunter’s tow rating of 2,699 kg (5,950 lb). , Meanwhile, the Trailhunter’s payload is rated at 710 kg (1,565 lb) in the six-foot long pickup bed.
Inside, the cabin has such details as unique yellow seat piping and the Toyota branding. and a neat removable speaker integrated into the dash. Inside, there’s heated and ventilated seats, a heated steering wheel, and dual-zone climate control. The rear seat and pickup bed both have AC outlets. Major improvements in the cabin as far as I could tell was the better, more relaxed driving position and slightly bigger rear seats. Standard Interior features include Voice Activated Audio and Phone systems, Apple Carplay, Android, USB, and Bluetooth connectivity. Inside, there is a neat, simple designs, but the cabin does look very durable and well finished. Simple logical controls have glove friendly large dials for the climate controls.
Safety is high with the latest Toyota’s Safety Suite as standard equipment, For serious trail “hunters” there is the clever Proactive Driving Assist (PDA) system with the forward-facing camera and radar sensors and predictive braking and steering input for navigating off- road conditions.
One benefit of the new powertrain is the 2025 Tacoma Hybrid’s slightly better fuel ratings of 10.5 L/100 km in the city, 9.9 on the highway, and 10.3 combined. On the road, the first thing you notice is the tremendous torque surge thanks to the new hybrid powertrain engine. Low end power is quick to materialize in acceleration, despite a substantial weight penalty of 300 kg compared to the older model. The Tacoma is an easy to drive, satisfying truck. Yes there is some truck rumble and the harsher steering feedback, but that is too be expected really. In contrast the Tacoma excels on rough trails and gravel. Four-wheel drive and the multi-mode function adjusts for different terrain such as loose rocks, snow,
or mud. Steering only becomes chore in tight parking lots thanks to the sixfoot pickup bed. Complaints are few, but exist, there is no short bed option and radio tuning is a chore. Also, the noise from the front pillar noise might be annoying to some – but not the hard core off-roaders I am sure!
To sum up, the Tacoma Trailhunter is a whole lot of truck with the expensive options equipment as standard, but then again it has all the high-performance adventure and off- road toys , accessories, and add-ons you could want. But just as importantly it i all factory fitted and warranted by Toyota. The Trailhunter is great step up from the TRD Pro version of the Tacoma and will not disappoint. A great truck for serious work and more than serious play! BEST N CLASS.

Price as tested- $85,06: Including options plus freight and PDI.
