Premier’s Awards for Excellence in Education winners, finalists celebrated

In a ceremony at Government House, Premier John Horgan provided awards to winners of the Premier’s Awards for Excellence in Education, which recognize exceptional teachers, support staff and administrators throughout the province.

“The Premier’s Awards for Excellence in Education celebrate the incredible achievements of 34 educational leaders over the past two years,” said Premier Horgan. “Every day, you go above and

beyond to put students first. The Premier’s Awards are our chance to thank the teachers, staff and educational leaders who bring out the best in B.C. students and represent the best of our province.”

This year’s winners from the 10 categories were chosen from 34 finalists of 113 nominations. Award categories include community engagement, district leadership, extracurricular leaders, Indigenous education, outstanding new

teacher, outstanding support – school community, outstanding support –teaching assistant, outstanding team collaboration, school leadership, and social equity and diversity.

“Through the Premier’s Awards, we can share inspirational stories about the many professionals in our K-12 schools who mentor and make a difference in the lives of students,” said Jennifer Whiteside, Minister of Education and Child Care. “Whether it’s an outstanding new teacher, an administrator leading a school, a custodian or outreach worker who provides extra support or teachers and staff passionate about Indigenous education, social justice and equity, it’s an honour to bring the finalists together in person to celebrate their dedication to their students and school communities.”

Winners will receive a $3,000 taxable personal bursary for professional learning, and a $2,000 contribution to their school community for professional learning. Runners-up will receive a

$1,000 taxable personal bursary for professional learning, and a $1,000 contribution to their school community for professional learning.

“B.C. has extraordinary teachers, administrators and support staff which is evident through the nominations, finalists and winners of the Premier’s Awards for Excellence in Education,” said Lt. Gov. Janet Austin. “Their enthusiasm for supporting and mentoring students builds on their commitment to ensure learners of all ages achieve success in school and in life. I believe deeply in the importance of high quality and accessible education as a foundation to a prosperous society and is critical to enhancing the well-being of all citizens.”

Launched in 2018, the awards honour the outstanding achievements of public, independent and First Nations school-system teachers, principals, vice-principals, administrators and support staff in K-12 schools.

Public notified of scam calls about monkeypox

The BC Centre for Disease Control and regional health authorities are alerting the public about reports of scam automated calls about monkeypox test results or exposures.

After an individual has a positive test for a communicable disease, such as monkeypox, public health contacts individuals for follow up and/or to identify people who may have been exposed to the communicable disease. This is known as case and contact tracing.

The majority of case and contact tracing in B.C. is done by public health staff in the regional health authorities and not the Ministry of Health. Public health does not use automated messages to notify individuals of infections or possible exposures (i.e. case and contact tracing). You will never be asked to provide financial information during case and contact tracing.

Please be alert for cybercriminals sending fake phishing emails, texts and robo-

calls to steal your personal and financial details. Learn more about scams and fraud from the RCMP.

People who meet eligibility criteria for the monkeypox vaccine are encouraged to get vaccinated with their first and second doses. Vaccination appointments are available through your regional health authority. Learn more about monkeypox vaccination.

The BC Centre for Disease Control, a part of the Provincial Health Services Authority, provides public health leadership through surveillance, detection, treatment, prevention and consultation services. The Centre provides diagnostic and treatment services for people with diseases of public health importance, and analytical and policy support to all levels of government and health authorities. The BCCDC also provides health promotion and prevention services to reduce the burden of chronic disease, preventable injury and environmental health risks.

Make your space allergy-friendly and dust-free

(NC) For those who suffer from allergies, a dust-free home is the dream. But that sparkly shine can be tough to achieve. Fortunately, there are a few ways to keep you breathing easy and limit dust, pet hair and dander.

Take the time to de-clutter

Household clutter equals dust build-up: the more items, the more dust. Refresh your space by selling or donating what you don’t need.

Get into a routine

It can be easy to lose track of when you last dusted, changed the pillowcases or vacuumed. Set up a schedule to stay on top of chores before the cleaning pile gets out of hand.

Invest in smart appliances

We’ll take any help we can get to remove allergens that cling to clothing, like pollen and pet hair, and smart ap-

pliances can get the job done without extra time spent. For example, the LG WashTower, a single-unit laundry machine with built-in artificial intelligence, has an Allergiene cycle that uses steam power to gently remove more than 95 per cent of common household allergens and is certified by the Asthma Society of Canada.

For more information about how to find the right solutions to help reduce allergens, visit lg.ca/washtower.

People encouraged to prepare for potential flooding

The Government of B.C. is helping communities prepare for flooding and is ready to assist in response to floods where necessary.

When fall rains return after prolonged dry weather, or drought, the River Forecast Centre monitors conditions

of flood concern or potential flood concern throughout the province.

EMBC is prepared to deploy 10 kilometres of gabions, which are walllike structures filled with sand, and 32 kilometres of tiger dams, which are stackable orange tubes filled with water.

closely. Dry soils can increase runoff and river flows, but the ground quickly starts to absorb water again in response to typical fall storms each year. As a result, the transition to moderate rainfall patterns does not normally cause extensive flooding. However, people living near streams and rivers that have flooded in previous fall seasons are encouraged to monitor weather and river conditions in their area closely during this transition.

While atmospheric rivers are common during the fall and winter storm season, extreme weather similar to mid-November 2021 are rare. However, flooding is a common, naturally occurring event in B.C.

The Province is taking action to keep people and communities safe in the event of flooding:

Emergency Management BC (EMBC) is prepared to deploy four million sandbags to local governments to protect homes and public infrastructure.

EMBC is prepared to deploy or preposition sandbag machines to areas

This year, EMBC expanded its use of Alert Ready to issue broadcast intrusive alerts on behalf of communities to warn British Columbians of imminent threats due to flooding.

In 2020, EMBC launched a digital registration system for Emergency Support Services (ESS) to provide timely access to support. Earlier this year, ESS was expanded to include direct payment to evacuees through Interac e-Transfer.

EMBC is holding regular regional co-ordination calls with First Nations and communities to assist with preparedness.

The River Forecast Centre is monitoring weather patterns and river conditions, and remains vigilant for a potential rapid transition toward extreme wet weather that could contribute to increased flood hazard.

Emergency Management BC asks that residents in affected regions take precautions to ensure personal safety, including developing a household plan, putting together emergency kits, connecting with neighbours and learning about the local government emergency response plan for their area.

As well, British Columbians can take the following steps:

Protect your home: People are advised to prepare for possible flooding of low-lying areas by moving equipment and other assets from these areas to higher ground, where possible. Clear perimeter drains, eavestroughs and gutters. Sandbags also help and can be made available through your local government.

Create grab-and-go bags: Assemble an individual grab-and-go bag for each member of your household with the essentials they’ll need if you are asked to evacuate.

Recognize the danger signs:

If you live near a waterway, a change in water colour or rapid change in water level – especially a drop – could indicate a problem upstream. Call your local fire, police or public works department immediately if you suspect something is out of the ordinary.

If you face a threatening flood situation, park vehicles away from streams and waterways, move electrical appliances to upper floors and make sure to anchor fuel supplies.

Listen to local officials if you are asked to evacuate. In the event of flooding, here are some tips about what to avoid:

Steer clear of river shorelines:

Keep away from river edges and shorelines. During periods of high flow, river banks may be unstable and more prone to sudden collapse. Stay away, and keep young children and pets away from the banks of fastflowing streams and flooded areas or bridges.

Do not drive through flood water:

Never attempt to drive or walk in flood water. Six inches of fast-moving water can knock over an adult. Two feet of rushing water can carry away most vehicles, including SUVs and pickup trucks.

Patients the focus of new health legislation

Patient safety will be enhanced, oversight of health regulatory colleges strengthened and governance of health professionals improved with ground-breaking legislation.

“Our government is making the most significant changes to oversight of regulated health professions in British Columbia’s history,” said Adrian Dix, Minister of Health. “These changes will streamline the process to regulate new health professions, provide stronger oversight, provide more consistent discipline across the professions, act in the public interest and protect patient care in the province, while also laying the groundwork to further reduce the total number of regulatory colleges.”

The Health Professions and Occupations Act replaces its predecessor, the Health Professions Act. The act enables the creation of a new oversight body, an independent discipline tribunal and a reformed complaints

process that increases accountability and transparency, protects people in vulnerable circumstances, and creates a commitment to cultural safety and humility, and a new way to regulate lower-risk health occupations.

The legislation will simplify and streamline the process for regulating new professions. Government will begin regulating counsellors and then diagnostic and therapeutic professionals, and will continue finalizing the amalgamation of colleges from 15 to six. One amalgamation will combine the colleges for dietitians, occupational therapists, opticians, optometrists, physical therapists, psychologists, and speech and hearing professionals into one regulator. The other amalgamation will combine the colleges for chiropractors, massage therapists, naturopathic physicians, traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncturists.

The Ministry of Health has made progress ahead of the legislation by reducing the number of regulatory colleges. In October 2020, B.C.’s three nursing colleges were amalgamated into one; in September 2021, the nursing college was amalgamated with the College of Midwives, and the College of Physician and Surgeons was amalgamated with the College of Podiatrists. In September 2022, B.C.’s four oral-health colleges, which included dentists, dental assistants, dental therapists, denturists, dental hygienists and dental technicians, were amalgamated into one regulatory college.

There are 15 health colleges under the act providing a regulatory framework for 25 health professions.

The legislation is partly in response to concerns raised in a report published in 2019 by Harry Cayton, former chief executive of the United Kingdom’s Professional Standards Authority, who was appointed by the Minister of Health to review the

Health Professions Act and its regulations and to make recommendations.

The changes also reflect some of the key recommendations of the 2020 In Plain Sight Report: Addressing Indigenous-specific Racism and Discrimination in B.C. Health Care, and further implement the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Action Plan. As well, the amendments fulfil recommendations made by the multi-party Steering Committee on Modernization of Health Professional Regulation, which was co-chaired by Dix; Norm Letnick, MLA for Kelowna-Lake Country; and Sonia Furstenau, MLA for Cowichan Valley.

“I thank all of those who provided input on these changes, including people around B.C., health-care workers, my legislative colleagues Norm Letnick and Sonia Furstenau, and Indigenous leaders, who helped to create the priorities addressed in the legislation being brought to the house for consideration,” added Dix.

B.C. small business tax rate access

More businesses will be able to recover and grow through expanded access to the small business tax rate in British Columbia.

“The past two years have been challenging for small and medium-sized businesses as they deal with the continuing effects of the pandemic, climate change and inflation that is being fuelled by global uncertainty,” said Selina Robinson, Minister of Finance. “We are standing behind B.C. businesses by helping ensure access to the small business tax rate as they work through recovery, and innovate and grow.”

Previously, access to the small business tax rate was gradually reduced when the taxable capital of businesses was more than $10 million. Access to the small business tax rate ended when businesses had $15 million or more of taxable capital. With the change, access to the small business tax rate will be gradually reduced

when businesses have between $10 million and $50 million in taxable capital.

Growing B.C. businesses will be able to scale up by remaining eligible for the B.C. small business tax rate for longer, as the tax rate will not phase out until the $50-million taxable capital threshold ceiling. The change will benefit a wide range of businesses but will largely support those that are capital intensive.

This includes businesses that have taxable capital between $10 million and $15 million, where business owners may decide not to invest in their business to acquire new equipment in order to keep access to the small business tax rate. This may look like a company, such as a craft brewery, considering adding a production line to its operations, or a company needing to buy specialized equipment, such as a computer numerical control (CNC) machine.

“Small and medium-sized businesses play an important role in our province. They provide good jobs, develop innovative products for the market and are strong supporters of their communities,” said Ravi Kahlon, Minister of Jobs, Economic Recovery and Innovation. “We are moving forward with the StrongerBC Economic Plan and important tax improvements like this as we continue to bring further improvements businesses need to succeed.”

The new, higher taxable capital ceiling will apply to taxation years that begin on or after April 7, 2022, which aligns with the federal approach, once passed. Aligning with the federal government’s approach is one of many steps the Province is taking to support B.C. businesses through B.C.’s StrongerBC Economic Plan. The $1.5-bil-

lion plan provides targeted and broad supports for businesses to adapt and grow, including include tax measures, such as the PST rebates for incorporated businesses and the increased employment incentive program.

(NC) We know there are many myths out there about winter driving, and they might put you in a tricky situation when the weather turns cold. Here are some misconceptions it’s important to clear up:

I have all-season tires – I don’t need to waste my money on winter tires

If you frequently face snow, ice or the temperature is consistently near freezing, your tires need the extra grip of winter tires for turning, braking, and accelerating. This is true even if you have four-wheel or all-wheel drive. Winter tires have specific tread designs and are made from a specific rubber compound, which combine to provide better grip, traction and braking in extreme weather such as wet roads, snow, slush and ice.

I can just drive slower in the winter and be aware of my surroundings

It’s always good to slow down in winter and watch your surroundings, the weather, traffic patterns and road

5 myths about winter tires

conditions. However, this is not a substitute for winter tires. Tires make a difference if you need to brake or steer to avoid a collision because they’re the only part of your car in contact with the road.

Under-inflating your tires will result in better traction

You should never under-inflate your winter tires. Not only will this degrade grip and stability, it can also damage your tires. You should check your tire pressure before hitting the road this winter for optimal grip, longevity and mileage or battery range.

I don’t need winter tires if the road is clear

Some people think that winter tires are only needed when the road is covered with snow or ice but forget that winter tires are also needed when the

temperature is low and road surfaces are clear.

I only need two winter tires

“This is a terrible myth and one that shouldn’t be followed,” says Russell Shepherd, technical communications

director at Michelin. “For maximum control of your vehicle in cold weather conditions, having four tires of the same size, tread depth and design, and inflation pressure is critical to ensure a vehicle maintains its highest level of stability and control.”

Get your home winter-ready with a few handy tips

(NC) As Canadians, the routine of preparing ourselves for the winter months is one that is all too familiar. Well before the first snow fall, we make sure our fleeced jackets, gloves, and boots are ready to go. But when it comes to prepping the house for those cold and snowy months ahead – well that’s a different story. To help get your home winter-ready, we’ve rounded up some useful tips.

Cut the draft

Keeping the heat in and the cold out should be at the top of your list when winter-proofing your house. The best way to do this is by making sure your windows and doors are properly sealed. If you feel a draft around a door or window frame, you may want to replace the weather-stripping to ensure a tight seal.

Empty exterior pipes

To avoid having your water pipes freeze and burst, shut off the water supply to all outdoor taps and faucets until next spring. It’s also important to open the taps and drain them completely once you’ve turned them off.

Inspect gutters, roof, and exterior walls

Emptying gutters of clogged leaves, dirt and debris can help ensure proper drainage of any

rain or melting snow. You’ll also want to make sure your gutters are firmly attached.?While you’re up there, inspect your roof for any broken, loose, or missing shingles. Replacing damaged shingles will help avoid any leaks that could happen if the temperature drops with a pile of snow on the roof.

Have your furnace professionally serviced

It’s a good idea to schedule a maintenance check each year to ensure your furnace is in good working order. Doing this not only ensures you’ll stay warm inside, but regular maintenance can also help prevent major problems down the road, saving you more money in the long run.

As the old saying goes, it’s better to be safe than sorry. While these activities may seem tedious, prepping

your home for the winter should be a routine that becomes familiar with time. And while we may do our best to prevent damage to our homes, sometimes the inevitable happens. In the event the unexpected happens, it’s important to call your insurance provider right away. Some providers, like Belairdirect, offer 24/7 claims support so you can rest assured someone will always be there to support you in these instances.

Does the weather impact your arthritis?

(NC) Is there truth to the idea that weather affects your joints, or is it an old wives’ tale?

Scientists are not yet sure why, but studies do suggest that weather changes can increase pain.

While controlling the weather isn’t an option, there are things you can do to manage your pain. Start by tracking your symptoms. You can find a daily symptom tracker on the Arthritis Society’s website. Once you know what kind of weather affects you, follow these tips.

If your symptoms are worse in warm weather:

A cool shower or cold pack can help with pain and inflammation on hot days.

It’s important to stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water and try to avoid caffeine, alcohol and sugary drinks that can contribute to dehydration.

Try to avoid spending time in the sun during the hottest hours of the day.

You can try a cooling ointment or spray that produces an icy feeling where it’s applied.

If your symptoms are worse in colder weather:

Take a warm bath or shower to help relieve the pain.

Use a hot water bottle, warm pack or heating pad to soothe sore joints.

Dress in multiple layers and cover exposed skin when outdoors.

Try soaking your sore hands in warm water.

Simple steps to improve indoor air quality

(NC) Daily activities like cleaning and cooking, or even lighting candles, can result in indoor air pollution. Emissions from building and construction materials and furniture add to the mix. Throw in possible contaminants such as mould, viruses or allergens, and you can end up with quite the collection of pollutants in your home’s indoor air.

Exposure to pollutants commonly found in indoor air can cause irritation of the eyes, nose and throat, headaches, dizziness, fatigue and worsened asthma.

Improving ventilation in your home is a key component of maintaining and improving indoor air quality. Ventilation can help improve indoor air quality by removing pollutants and by bringing in fresh air from outside. This is especially important when renovating or when using chemical products in your home.

By following these steps to improve ventilation, you can improve the indoor air in your home.

Leave your interior doors open.

Use bathroom and kitchen fans.

Have a filtration system built into the duct work of your mechanical HVAC system. Replace or clean the filter as per the manufacturer's instructions.

Open windows and doors when outside conditions permit.

When there are high levels of outdoor air pollution, reduce air entering the home from outside by closing windows and setting your HVAC to recirculation mode.

Keep baseboard or heating vents clear of furniture.

Keep beds, bedding and furniture away from outside walls to allow air and heat to flow around furnishings.

Easy home updates to help you prepare for Winter

(NC) With the change in season, it’s time to tackle your home maintenance checklist. From safety precautions to appliance upkeep, here are tips to help you breeze into fall.

Clean your furnace filter. Dirty filters mean your furnace must work harder. Regularly changing the filters in your central air and heating system can significantly improve their efficiency

and longevity. Change filters monthly throughout the heating and cooling seasons, and have your furnace serviced annually by a professional to ensure it’s working properly.

Install home safety. The Canadian National Fire Information Database reports that 80 per cent of fire deaths occur in homes without working smoke alarms, often due to missing batteries or expired alarms. Proper smoke alarm placement, regular maintenance and alarm replacement are essential to keeping everybody protected, so be sure to install alarms on every level of your home, including the basement, and in every bedroom. Replace batteries at least every six months, or make maintenance easier with a 2-in-1 smoke and carbon monoxide alarm such as

the First Alert 10Year Battery Combination alarm, which also eliminates battery chirps and replacements for a decade.

Check your roof and clean your gutters. Rapidly changing temperatures and humidity can wreak havoc on roofs. Water damage can cause deterioration to insulation, wood and drywall, making electrical, plumbing and HVAC systems vulnerable to damage. Inspect for missing and loose shingles, replacing them as needed, or have a licensed, certified roofing professional check the condition of your roof. Clear your gutters of leaves and debris, flush them with water and make repairs if necessary. You may also consider replacing old

or damaged gutters with new ones that have built-in leaf guards.

Test for radon. Radon is an invisible, odourless gas that can seep from the soil through cracks in the foundation. After smoking, radon is the secondleading cause of lung cancer, according to Statistics Canada. A simple DIY test kit can be purchased from most hardware stores to determine if you have a safe radon level in your home.

New research, funding to support complex mental-health, substance-use challenges

British Columbians living with overlapping brain injury, mental-health and substance-use challenges will benefit from a new research project that will explore these areas and propose solutions to meet people’s needs. The Province is investing $345,000 in Constable Gerald Breese Centre for Traumatic Losses (CGB) to support ongoing research into brain injury, mental health and addictions, and propose evidence-based solutions and services that are integrated, accessible and culturally safe.

“People who survive an illicit drug poisoning are at higher risk of brain injury because of the increasingly toxic drug supply,” said Sheila Malcolmson, Minister of Mental Health and Addictions. “B.C. is funding this research to find the best ways to support people who have complex overlapping mental-health, substance-use challenges and brain injury.”

The research project includes provincial conferences – BC Consensus Building Days – and educational programs. The first BC Consensus Building Day, at the University of Victoria, will focus on overdose

survivors with brain injuries. The conference will gather perspectives and ideas from health-care providers, community stakeholders and people with lived experience, including Indigenous groups and marginalized communities.

“Individuals experiencing brain injury, mental health, addictions, homelessness and criminality, and their families, are struggling to navigate a system that is not fully integrated. This is leading to dire consequences for many,” said Janelle Breese Biagioni, clinical counsellor and CGB’s CEO and founder. “It’s critical we

take action now. Our intention is the B.C. consensus on brain injury, mental health, and addictions is an important step forward in determining priorities and solutions needed to bring about needed change to best serve people in British Columbia who are living with these experiences.”

This investment complements government’s work supporting people with overlapping mental health, substance use, trauma and acquired brain injuries, including the first-ofits-kind Red Fish Healing Centre, and groundbreaking approaches like complex-care housing.

Setting up your new business for success

(NC) A great business begins with a great idea. But that spark does not mean entrepreneurs magically understand all aspects of running a business. One of the most important parts, and one that can be tricky to grasp, is payroll.

To properly establish a payroll system there are several important steps, including:

1. Registering with the government

You’ll need a 15-digit business number that allows the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) to identify your business for tax matters. You may also have an obligation to establish additional provincial accounts for

workers’ compensation or employer health taxes, depending on where your business and your employees are located.

2. Managing your money While not a requirement, establishing a dedicated payroll bank account is recommended to keep funds for payroll costs separate from business expenses. This is important because the CRA specifically states that once an employer has withheld payroll source deductions from employees, these amounts are to be held in trust until remittance is due.

3. Creating a compensation model

While there is legislation detailing minimum wage based on hours worked, the method in which employees are paid is completely up to you as an employer. You’ll have to decide whether you want to pay workers a salary, hourly wage or commission.

“Understanding the basics of payroll in the early stages of your business will save you tremendous time and resources in the long run,” says Peter Tzanetakis, president of the National Payroll Institute. “Mastering these basics will enable you to protect your business in the event of audits and ultimately

support the health of your business long-term.”

To learn more about how payroll best practices can support your business’s health, you can download a full ebook at payroll.ca/payrollcheckup.
