Clean smarter for the holidays

(NC) The holiday season means a fresh list of to-dos: digging out your favourite warm sweaters, preparing festive meals and scheduling get-togethers with family and friends. Keeping on top of household tasks can seem challenging during this fes tive time. Below are a few tips to help streamline the cleaning process.

1. Work together – and make it festive

Assign each household member a task, whether that’s keeping your driveway free of snow, washing the holiday sweaters or making sure the kitchen is sparkly-clean for your holi day guests. Switch them up regularly, and make sure you have the holiday tunes playing to create a festive at mosphere.

2. Do double duty

With smart home technology you can start or check in on your household chores via your smartphone, which

means you can start the laundry re motely while you’re out shoveling the snow or doing your holiday shopping.

3. Work smarter, not harder

Try setting a timer and see how quick ly you can complete your chores. Look at tools like the LG WashTower with TurboWash 360° that make each washing stage quicker. LG's TurboWash Technology offers the industry's fastest cycle times, which saves you up to 30 minutes per load -- perfect for refreshing clothes or bedding before guests arrive.

NDP MLAs Alexis and D’Eith say tourism grants will help fund local events in Abbotsford and Mission

New Democrat MLAs Pam Alexis and Bob D’Eith say that local events in Abbotsford and Mission will ben efit from provincial tourism funding.

“Events like the Abbotsford Airshow and the Mission Folk Music Festival have been bringing people together for decades and it was so good to have them back this summer after the pandemic. Funding like this helps ensure locals and visitors can con

tinue to enjoy the community events we love,” said Pam Alexis, MLA for Abbotsford-Mission

The Province has provided funding to nearly 100 organizations through its Tourism Events Program (TEP) to build B.C.’s reputation as an events destination and increase visitation.

In Abbotsford and Mission, the fol lowing local events are recieving funding from the program: Abbotsford International Airshow$50,000

2023 Volleyball BC Indoor Provin cial Championships- $12,500

36th Annual Mission Folk Music Festival- $18,500

“The Mission Folk Music Festival is one of my favourite events of the year. I am glad to be part of a govern ment that understands how important arts and culture events like this are for bringing people together in the community and bringing visitors to great communities like Mission,” said Bob D’Eith, MLA for Maple Ridge-Mission.

The Province announced $4.8 million for the Tourism Events Program in April this year, marking the return of TEP after a two-year absence due to the global pandemic. TEP fund

ing supports a wide range of tourism ex periences, in cluding arts, cultural, or international ly recognized sporting com petitions, bol stering aware ness of the event, attract ing additional overnight visi tors and in creasing tour ism benefits to communities.

The Province has provided over $18 million in TEP funding since 2016, supporting 317 events.

TEP grant amounts are for eligible activities that amplify the event’s provincial, national, and international marketing reach.

Flood recovery, Sumas Dike repairs underway in Abbotsford Flood recovery, Sumas Dike repairs underway in Abbotsford

People in Abbotsford will be better protected from flooding with more recovery work underway, including permanent Sumas Dike repairs and sediment removal for sites in the Fraser Valley.

Emergency Management BC is pro viding more than $1.6 million for re pairs to the dike through the Disaster Financial Assistance program. The repairs are expected to be complete by the end of November 2022.

“We’re very pleased that the City of Abbotsford, with the support of the Semá:th First Nation, is moving forward with permanent repairs to the Sumas Dike,” said Mike Farnworth, Minister of Public Safety and Solici tor General. “We are encouraged by this collaborative work on solutions for flood mitigation in the Sumas Prairie, and we will continue to sup port this work as we move forward.”

Sediment removal

Extreme flooding from November 2021 caused substantial sediment movement and changes to B.C.’s river systems. The Province has re sponded with an extensive program

to remove debris and address these changes.

To address the effects of the atmo spheric river, more than $41 million has been approved to repair and restore sites on the Sumas River, Clayburn Creek, Kilgard Creek and Vedder Canal. The funding supports work to remove sediment, address erosion and help restore river chan nels.

Disaster Financial Assistance (DFA)

Through the DFA program, the Prov ince has dispersed more than $24 mil lion to help people repair and rebuild their homes and businesses after the 2021 flooding.

As of Nov. 10, 2022, 84% of DFA applications for the private sector (individuals, small businesses, farms and charitable organizations) have been processed.

Is my kid safe from COVID-19 if they’ve already had it?

(NC) As of early fall 2022, more than 400,000 children in Canada aged 11 and younger had gotten COVID-19. That’s 10 per cent of the total con firmed cases across the country.

If your child was one of them, it’s true that their body developed some im munity. However, protection can vary depending on the child’s past vaccina tion or infection history and whatever variants of the virus are circulating. That protection also decreases over time.

Ultimately, if your child was infected with COVID-19, this does not neces sarily mean they have strong immunity later on.

To help combat this factor, the National Advisory Committee on Immunization, known as NACI, recommends children aged five and older receive an initial COVID-19 vaccine series, and some should also receive a booster dose. Kids six months to four years of age may also receive an initial series.

Vaccinations offer stronger protection than a previous infection, and they can help prevent serious complications such hospitalization.

tide on

toxicity and overdose crisis

By Niki Sharma, Chair of the Select Standing Committee on Health and MLA for Vancouver-Hastings

The toxic drug crisis is an unprec edented public health emergency that has touched the lives of people around the world and right here in British Columbia. People are passing away every day, even as countless lives are saved by the heroic interventions of first responders, front-line workers, peers, friends and family.

In B.C., the illicit drug supply is more toxic and unpredictable than ever before, causing an urgent health emergency. For too long, people have struggled to get the mental health sup ports they need before small challenges become big ones. We also know that for too long, substance use was treated as a criminal justice issue instead of a public health matter, making this crisis even more destructive.

This fall, the all-party Select Standing Committee on Health released our re port on the drug toxicity and overdose crisis with 37 recommendations aimed at saving lives and moving British Co lumbia out of the current public health emergency.

Putting aside political differences, members of all elected parties in B.C. agreed on recommendations to ex pand access to a safer supply, imple ment decriminalization, and increase enforcement of organized crime that preys upon vulnerable people with an increasingly toxic supply.

It is our belief that moving out of this public health emergency will require not just policy-makers and key invest ments but all British Columbians to put aside any preconceived notions about this crisis and, fundamentally, to ad dress our society’s deeply held stigma towards people who use drugs.

It is important to understand who is most often impacted by toxic drugs. We heard that the populations that are most affected include men aged 19-39 (77% of deaths), and people working in trades, transportation, or as equip ment operators. Most deaths are also occurring when people are alone and in private residences. While the drug toxicity crisis can affect anyone, un derstanding these factors helps us to target solutions.

It was clear to all members that the toxic drug crisis is not – and should not – be a partisan issue and we need to work collectively to find and focus on solutions that will save lives and help people achieve wellness.

Over the course of its work, the com mittee received briefings from federal and provincial government ministries and agencies, health authorities and other experts. The committee also held public hearings and invited written input to ensure all British Columbians had the opportunity to participate. The committee heard from 118 presenters and received 881 written submissions.

It was a big step forward to see allparty support for 37 recommendations to fight the overdose crisis, including evidence-based policies like safer sup ply and decriminalization. Each com mittee member comes from different parts of B.C., has different political affiliations and lived experience. Yet we all came together to build consensus and meet at our places of agreement. Ultimately, the work of this committee was an act of solidarity with all British Columbians impacted by this crisis.

B.C. is taking a comprehensive ap proach to addressing the ongoing public health emergency, including acting on decriminalization, adding new treatment and recovery services, and investing in new harm reduction supports, like prescribed safe supply. After decades of neglect, we are build ing up treatment and recovery services in B.C. to make sure help is available when someone is ready to take that step toward wellness.

We know there is more to do, and we won’t stop working until we turn the tide on this crisis. It’s our hope to build upon the work the province has done already and fill the remaining gaps.

Punjabi Patrika Auto review:

2022 Land Rover Defender 90 P400 X Dynamic SE Review.

The 2022 all-new Land Rover Defend er is now available in both a short and long wheelbase model with retro styl ing cues and with legendary extreme off-road capability. The design still showcases that classic Defender trope; the upright, squared-off boxy shape, and contrasting roof colour. There are some hints of its military roots, with the exposed hex bolts in the doors. It looks expensive and premium focused.

We tested the short wheelbase two -door Defender. Powerplants include a base turbo 2.0L four-cylinder 296hp turbocharged engine and a 3.0-liter inline-six unit which utilizes an electric supercharger and 48-volt hybrid system that produces 395-hp. The transmission is an eight-speed ZF automatic and two-speed transfer case that provides a set of low-range ratios ideal for towing (3,720 kg) or off-roading when finesse is required. For 2022, a V8 model with a 518-hp Supercharged 5.0-liter V-8 is also available if you feel the need for even more power!

The new Defender has a unibody construction versus a body-on-frame setup, and now has fully independent coil suspension, but it can be upgraded with an optional air spring system that enables adjustable ride height. The Defender has 11.5 inches of ground clearance and the amazing ability to wade through 35 inches of water!

Standard equipment includes a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system that

By Veeno Dewan

runs the Land Rover interface called Pivi Pro; a larger 11.4-inch display is optional. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are both standard, as is an in-dash navigation system, a six-speaker stereo, and an onboard Wi-Fi hotspot. Both 10- and 14-speaker premium Meridian stereo systems are optional features along with a digital gauge cluster and a head-up display on upper trims.

Optional off -road equipment is excel lent and includes Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), Hill Launch Assist, Hill Descent Control (HDC), Low Trac tion Launch, Cornering Brake Control (CBC), Electronic Traction Control (ETC), Roll Stability Control (RSC), Electronic air suspension, and the afore mentioned Twin-Speed Transfer Box (High/Low Range).

We tested the Defender P400 X-Dy namic SE, a model that slots in between the Defender and the Defender X, arriv ing with a tougher, macho exterior and more extras. Base price for our tester was $79,800. However, the multitude of options worth $14,720 and a Desti nation fee of $1,950. boosted the final tester price to a heady $96,470. So, it isn’t cheap!

Interior wise, the quasi-military style means exposed rivets in the door panels and a cool magnesium beam that runs the full width of the dashboard that’s also a structural detail. Materials, fit, and finish are top notch, and interior room and comfort is exceptional.

On the road, the Defender 90’s 3.0L inline-six engine is inher ently smooth and urgent with a nice turn of speed, taking about six seconds to hit 100 km/h. Steer ing, ride, and handling will be familiar to those who own Land Rovers – a little body roll, but not too intrusive. This is a vehi cle that man ages itself with aplomb. whether on the highway, the urban jungle and of course in its element while off-roading or trail hopping – nothing can phase it. Traction is good and the various too many to mention 4x4 systems and off-road aids deliver exceptional per formance off road.

Land Rover have knocked one out the park with the Defender 90. It can end up very expensive when fully op tioned, but worth it for a true off-roader

wrapped up in luxury and class. Nice work Land Rover!

2022 Land Rover Defender 90. Pricing starts at $79,800.

Total Price as tested $96,470. Includ ing Options ($14,720.) and Destination $1,950.

Solving labour shortages in key sectors like health care, construction, and transportation: Workers from 16 new occupations now eligible for permanent residence

Immigration is not just good for our communities and our economy. It is essential. That is why the Government of Canada is working to welcome newcomers who bring the skills our economy needs to help address acute labour shortages across the country.

The Honourable Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizen ship, today announced the implemen tation of the National Occupational Classification (NOC) 2021 for immi gration programs managed under the Express Entry system. Using the new NOC categories will allow Canada to

bring in global talent in high-demand sectors like health care, construction, and transportation.

Nurse aides, long-term care aides, hos pital attendants, elementary and sec ondary school teacher assistants, and transport truck drivers are examples of some of the 16 occupations now included in Express Entry.

The NOC system is used to track and categorize all jobs in the Canadian labour market and is updated to reflect changes in the economy and in the na ture of work. The changes to the NOC system support the Minister’s commit

ment to expand pathways to perma nent resi dency for temporary workers and inter national students, as more jobs will become eligible for the programs managed under Express Entry. Through this update, 16 occupations that were

not previously eligible can now benefit from expanded pathways to permanent residency.

UFV Town & Gown celebrates community, raises over $210,000 for students

The University of the Fraser Valley welcomed community supporters to its Abbotsford campus on November 10 for the sixth annual Town & Gown, a celebration demonstrating the trans formational power of a UFV education.

The event was the first in-person Town & Gown since 2019 and raised $210,690 in support of students. This more than doubled the event goal of raising $100,000 to fund one hundred new scholarships.

UFV President Joanne MacLean wel comed guests and thanked them for

honoured for supporting UFV for 15 or more years, with tribute paid to Dr. Malwinder S. Dhami and family, Paul and Jackie Hogan, Dr. Sylvie Murray, Stacey Irwin, and RBC (represented by Nicky Kang). The Lifetime paddle, bestowed to donors contributing $100,000 or more, was presented to Dr. Malwinder S. Dhami and Jason Dhami, who received a standing ovation for their family’s longstanding support totalling $228,000.

Several new donations were announced during the evening.

Dr. James Chamberlain, who re ceived an honorary degree from UFV in 2021, established with husband Jean-Marie Russell the 2SLGBTQ+ Pride Endowment Leadership Award. This $25,000 endowment will provide a $1,000 scholarship each year to student leaders engaged in queer activism in the Fraser Valley.

Fellow honorary doctorate re cipient Dr. Malwinder S. Dhami delighted guests in attendance when he announced a new pledge of $26,500.

The final surprise gift of the eve ning was a donation of $40,000 from Karen and Warren Nelson in support of student emergency funding.

Douma is a registered nurse and a health care educator who served on the frontlines of the COVID pandemic and is also building a career as a re searcher and academic in the health sciences field. Once he completes his PhD, he hopes to teach full time at the university level at the University of Alberta.

Kara Chan, who gradu ated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 2013, re ceived the Young Distin guished Alumni award in recognition of her work in the energy sustain ability field.

Chan is an energy sector professional focused on climate resilience poli cies, currently working in management at Ausgrid, one of Australia’s largest electricity distributors.

supporting UFV. She remarked on the energy on campus as most classes and activities have now returned to inperson formats after the restrictions of the pandemic.

“We have missed connecting with people. These connections make us stronger as a society. They create the powerful energy and strength we draw from community -- a community that is beginning to become more diverse. Thank you for the strength you bring to our university and to the Valley.”

Guests were honoured by Stó:lō drum mer Xotwes Jonny Williams from the Cheam nation, who presented a meal song and then led guests in learning several Halq’eméylem words and phrases.

Anita Nielsen, Executive Director of Advancement, announced the re cipients of the UFV Ripple Makers paddles, presented annually to donors in recognition of their financial support to UFV. Loyalty paddle recipients were

Community guests mingled with UFV leadership and student am bassadors, who shared stories of how their university experience has impacted their lives and helped shape their communities.

This year’s student speaker was Bach elor of Business Administration stu dent and scholarship recipient Trisha Kumar, who praised UFV for taking a real-life approach to learning and giving students a chance to conduct meaningful applied research.

“These experiences are crucial,” Ku mar said. “They teach students how to ask questions, develop a point of view, recognize challenges, and create solutions. Students need these skills because we’re future leaders, entre preneurs, innovators, lawmakers, and agents of change.”

UFV honoured two alumni with Dis tinguished Alumni and Young Distin guished Alumni awards.

Matt Douma, who earned a Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 2006, was named Distinguished Alumni for his leadership in nursing education and health research.

Susan Mide Kiss, who re cently joined UFV as VicePresident, Community Engagement, presented the Betty Urquhart Commu nity Service award. Betty’s son Andrew attended the event and helped celebrate the award recipients.

Every year, UFV honours a community member or group who makes a differ ence through volunteer work within an organization or on a specific commu nity project. The Betty Urquhart Award reflects its namesake’s commitment to helping others and aligns with UFV’s commitment to building communities.

“Betty was one of the founding em ployees of the university and believed strongly in volunteering and giving back. While she passed away in 1995, UFV keeps her memory alive by hon ouring a person or group exemplifying her commitment to life-long learning and community,” said Mide Kiss. UFV recognized two community volunteers this year. Amber Price of Chilliwack was honoured for her ex tensive community development work and leadership on multiple grassroots initiatives. Anastasia Krapchatova was honoured for leading community initia tives to enhance quality of life for local seniors during the pandemic.

MP Vis Champions Punjabi Community’s Calls through Successful Renegotiation of the Canada-India Air Transport Agreement

Brad Vis, Member of Parliament for Mission—Matsqui—Fraser Canyon and Conservative Shadow Minister of Small Business Recovery and Growth, released a statement following the suc cessful renegotiation of the CanadaIndia Air Transport Agreement.

“Over 14,000 Canadians made their voices heard through my petition for direct flights from Canada to Amrit sar, India in the heart of the state of Punjab. Currently, no airline provides direct flights between Canada and Amritsar despite the tens of thousands of Canadians with direct ties to family, friends and businesses in the Punjab, said MP Vis”.

“Thanks to the hard work and sup port of the Fly Amritsar Initiative and everyone who signed the petition, our

push has suc ceeded, and airlines have been granted new rights including un limited flights between our two countries effective im mediately.

“I am thrilled our work has paid off and Governments listened to the call from our Canadian-Punjabi communities. This renegotiation rec ognizes the high market demand and strong economic advantage to both our nations. It will bolster tourism, trade, and empower families to stay connected, said MP Vis”.

Common winter road hazards and what you need to know

(NC) Driving in the winter comes with an increase in road hazards and poor driving conditions. While many of us know what to expect for the winter season ahead, there are many driving tips that could help you safely navigate the road and feel better behind the wheel in the face of such risks.

The dreaded ice and snow

Move with ease in snowy or icy weather. Do not accelerate or brake too quickly. This can cause your vehicle to lose traction with the road and create skidding, which can be extremely difficult to control. It is best to navigate the road slowly and use more time to get to your destination.

Lack of visibility

Winter can bring a number of sce narios that decrease your visibility on the road. There is the potential for heavy snowfall; the glare from the sun reflecting off the snow; or slush spraying from other vehicles onto your windshield. Before you

start your next trip, ensure you have a pair of sunglasses, your wind shield washer fluid is filled, your headlights are working, and your windshield wipers aren’t damaged from freezing.

Snowbanks

Although fun to play in, large snowbanks can create a major hazard while driving in the winter. They can result in blind spots and reduced visibility at intersections, which can put drivers at risk. After you come to a complete stop, it’s important to slowly approach the corner until your view of oncoming traffic is no longer blocked.

Low temperatures

Colder temperatures in the winter typically result in a decrease in your tire pressure. Low tire pressure can result in damage to your tire and make your vehicle more difficult to control. Be sure to check your tire pressure frequently. Additionally, low temperatures can also make the rub

ber in your tires more rigid or brittle. Equip your vehicle with a quality winter tire, such as Michelin X-Ice Snow tires, to ensure long-lasting performance in the winter. They’re designed for maximum mobility for seasons to come.

Snow on other cars

There’s nothing worse than clearing the snow and ice off your vehicle in -15-degree Celsius weather. How

ever, not properly clearing your windshield can result in reduced vis ibility for others while on the road. Snow blowing off of vehicles can be a distraction or could even cause dam age as it flies through the air at high speeds. Keep an eye out for snowcovered vehicles on the roadways and avoid them when possible.

UFV Distinguished Alumni: Matt Doumaa leading educator in health care field

Matt Douma is a shining example of an outstanding University of the Fra ser Valley alumnus now, but back in the mid-2000s he wasn’t your typical nursing student.

Douma, who earned a Bachelor of Sci ence in Nursing in 2006, is this year’s recipient of the UFV Distinguished Alumni award. He received the award at UFV’s recent Town and Gown cel ebration event.

During his student days he chafed against convention and questioned the rules. He had passions outside of the nursing degree program, including rowing, research, and volunteer work.

He was at risk of dropping out, was living in his car, and almost gave up on his dream of becoming a nurse. It was the support of his UFV rowing coach, Liz Chisholm, and of his research mentor, Dr. Adrienne Chan, that kept him going.

Chisholm helped Matt focus his energy and pursue athletic excellence. And Chan, then a professor of social work and human services, introduced him to university-level research opportunities.

“Two people were key to my academic and personal success: Liz Chisholm and Adrienne Chan,” Matt asserts. “They bolstered my wellness and helped me transition from a rebellious youth to a disciplined young adult. Adrienne was the first person to make me feel smart. She taught me that if I put in the time and effort into a project, I could be successful. Thanks to her, I am as much a research scientist as I am a registered nurse now.”

Douma persevered in his studies, and 16 years later has been recognized regionally and nationally for his work with others on trauma and life-saving practices related to aortic compression and hemorrhaging, practices he first learned about while doing UFV-spon sored research as a student in Vietnam.

His career since graduating, based in Edmonton, has been a mix of hands-on bedside nursing, clinical nursing teach ing, academic research, and training nurses and other health-care profes sionals in emergency life-saving skills.

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, he had been focused increasingly on teaching, but the urgent need for criti cal care nurses drew him back to the bedside providing direct care to CO VID-19 patients.

“Returning to the bedside as a critical care nurse was challenging and re warding,” he recalls. “It reinforced my determination to change and improve the way that care occurs.”

It was particularly frustrating for Dou ma, his colleagues, and nurses through out the world to have to keep patients isolated from their families during the pandemic, to watch them suffer and sometimes die without family present.

Based on this experience, Douma is an advocate for increased transparency for families of patients through methods such as continuous streaming.

“It may be passive communication, but it at least lets families see the patient.”

He was also part of an international team developing and writing curricu lum providing evidence-based critical

care knowledge for nurses involved in COVID-19 care and has led an international collaborative team aimed at training people to teach resuscitation methods to use when conventional methods fail with COVID-19 patients.

Douma left bedside nursing again recently to focus on his PhD studies through the University College of Dub lin, having earlier earned a master’s degree at the Uni versity of Toronto.

Now an adjunct professor of critical care nursing at the University of Al berta, where he continues to teach and mentor new health care researchers, he plans to be a fulltime tenure-track faculty member when he completes his PhD.

Douma has made significant contribu tions to emergency health, according to his mentor, UFV professor emeritus Adrienne Chan, who nominated him for the Distinguished Alumni award.

“Matt has an empathetic understanding of a broad set of issues. He sees prob lems differently and seeks to shift para digms of thinking about nursing and about health. His strong commitment to clinical education and emergency care, and a lifelong commitment to vul nerable and marginalized populations makes him a respectful and inclusive practitioner.“

Douma continues to be driven by curiosity and a relentless desire to improved understanding of complex medical issues and problems.

“Asking difficult questions and for mulating answers is essential to both the scientific method and the nursing process,” he says. “It’s also a key part of how we can improve the functioning of the health care system.”

He feels honoured to receive the Dis tinguished Alumni award for 2022, and despite his sometimes-precarious status during his student days, looks back on his UFV time with fondness.

“I am so proud of the university I came from,” he notes. “I especially came to appreciate UFV’s value after experi encing the massive scale at the Univer sity of Toronto. I could characterize my undergraduate experience as accessible and practical, with great opportunities for research and one-on-one mentor ing from my rowing coach Liz and my research mentor Adrienne Chan.”

When asked what advice he would have for the UFV community, his wish was a simple one: “Get first aid train ing. Everyone can learn to save a life.”

Listen carefully to what someone else might actually mean by what they are saying. They may not be straightforward and this will be to benefit them, not you. Looking back to the past and what has taken place with them could enlighten you in some way. The main thing is not to agree to anything just because it sounds good.

Open and easy interaction can take place with somebody else, even a friend that gives you a comfortable feeling. Then they could become secretive or shut off for no apparent reason. It would not be wise to establish priorities in your own life around relying on them. They could be guarded about what is important to them.

Any responsibilities you have avoided in the past could come back to haunt you now. This could generate a lot more work than would have originally have been the case. Interactions with others, including social activity can become busy from now into December. This could mean catching up with people from the past as well.

It could be worthwhile to look at doing something you have enjoyed in the past, mainly for relaxation. You could realise you have learnt a lot in between time and that making it part of your future again could be wise. You will need to focus on daily routines into December and apply some sort of order for effective handling.

You can come into contact with people that are unique in some way and where you feel as though you are on the same page as them. This could also be a friend or colleague you have not seen in a while. Social activity is likely to pick up from now into early December. Having got things in order of late will leave you free to enjoy.

It might be wise to start thinking and communicating over any plans you might want to make involving family between now and 10th December. It could be difficult to get definite answers to begin with, so it might take some persistence. What you will have to watch is ending up with the majority of the responsibilities to deal with.

A very busy time is about to begin that will go into early December. You might need to keep your wits about you because you can be pulled in many different directions making it easy to forget some things. The other thing you have to watch is ending up with more to handle than anybody else because of being too generous with your time.

The focus is beginning to turn away from you personally to your finances into early December. Anything involving another person and finances may not be as clear as you have presumed. It may now place you in a situation where you need to make other financial decisions on a personal level. It is not a time to risk anything.

Both Mercury, the planet of thought and Venus the planet of peace, balance and harmony move into your sign this week until 7th and 10th December. Life could at last become clearer and seem to be going your way. You should think about yourself in this time in relation to just being happy. Perhaps buy some new clothes too.

You will need to find some peaceful time to yourself into early December to perhaps collect your thoughts and focus on the most balanced way to move forward later. Whatever you need to deal with on a daily basis will continue to be busy and full of distractions. This is why a calm and withdrawing approach will be necessary.

A good time to catch up with friends or attend any sort of group activity will be from now into early December. Don’t feel guilty about altering your obligations or leaving them until later. A social event that didn’t take place in the past could come up again. This could involve a freer attitude on the part of other people in some way.

Challenges could start to become obvious in relation to any future directions you might have been considering lately. It will be easier now to recognise how this could get out of hand because when you get down to details, there is a lot more to the situation than was initially apparent. Be realistic about the commitment you can make.

Working

Every year on November 16th, Louis Riel Day is a time to learn about Métis history, values, and culture. This year, Métis Nation British Columbia (MNBC) and Fraser Health are reflecting on our joint efforts to support the health and wellness of Métis people in the Fraser Health region.

MNBC recently joined Fraser Health’s Aboriginal Health Steering Committee to further advocate for Métis people and Chartered Communities in the region.

“I’m excited to have Métis Nation British Colum bia represented in the Aboriginal Health Steering Committee,” says Willie Charlie, First Nations Health Council Rep.- Fraser Salish Region, Fraser Health Board Member and Co-Chair of the Aboriginal Health Steering Committee. “By strengthening our collaboration, we are ensuring that Indigenous Peoples have equal access to health services delivered in an environment free of racism and discrimination.”

To further the work of the Steering Committee and to better understand the history and distinct culture of the Métis people, both organizations came together on September 16, 2022 to participate in a unique learning workshop facilitated by Lisa Shepherd, a Métis knowledge carrier and artist. Lisa is famous across British Columbia for her iconic beadwork designs and continues to educate on topics such as Métis art, culture and language.

people

The experiential learning day, called Miyomah cihô which in Michif means: “the person in good health”, aligned with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Call to Action 23 that addresses cultural competency training for health care work ers. It also aligned with the Province’s commit ment to addressing systemic racism in the health care system, as documented in the In Plain Sight: Addressing Indigenous-specific Racism and Dis crimination in B.C. Health Care report.

“It was an honour to participate in Miyomahcihô and, in doing so, reaffirm Fraser Health’s com mitment to truth and reconciliation,” says Dr. Victoria Lee, Fraser Health president and CEO.

“By learning from the teachings that have been shared with us, we can create a health system that embeds cultural safety and humility in everything we do, each and every day.”

Miyomahcihô also built upon the foundation cre ated by the joint Letter of Understanding between Fraser Health and Métis Nation British Columbia in 2019. In the letter, the parties committed to

the common goals of equitable access to health services along with improved health and wellness outcomes for Métis people in the Fraser Salish region.

“In order for MNBC to be a self-governing nation moving forward, we need to work with the health authorities in British Columbia,” says Louis De Jaeger, MNBC Minister for Health and Director for Region 2.

“We have to be able to provide the health services our Métis citizens need no matter where they live in the province. We will continue to do the work necessary to build these relationships, to support Actions 4.20 through 4.26 of the Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous People Act Action Plan, and to see equity for our nation. The Miyomahcihô workshop is a good first step in addressing the lack of awareness regarding Métis culture, but it is the first step. With Louis Riel Day on November 16 this year, MNBC would ask all Health Authori ties in the province to take November 16 as an opportunity to learn and reflect on Métis history, values and culture,” De Jaeger says.

New Board of Education Sworn In For 2022-26 Term

It was a full house at the official inau guration of the newly elected Abbots ford Board of Education on Tuesday night, as seven trustees were sworn in and affirmed for the new term. Three new trustees - Rupi Kanda-Rajwan, Mike Rauch and Jared White - join incumbents Korky Neufeld, Stan Pe tersen, Preet Rai and Shirley Wilson. The Abbotsford Board of Education will serve from 2022 to 2026.

In addition to last night’s inaugura tion, a Chair and Vice-Chair were nominated by the group of seven. Korky Neufeld, a Trustee since 2018 and who has previously served on the Board of Education from 2005 to 2014, was voted in by acclamation as Board Chair. This will be his first term serving as Board Chair. Addi tionally, newly elected Trustee Mike Rauch was voted in by acclamation as Vice-Chair for the Abbotsford Board of Education.

“I’m energized by the new additions to our Board of Education, and we look forward to serving our commu

nity and school district. We are all very passionate about education and recognize the important role it plays for the future of the youth here in the city of Abbotsford,” said Neufeld. “We have a high-functioning school district – excellent teachers, support staff and leaders.

Mayor’s annual Christmas card contest is back again to bring the holiday spirit

The City of Abbotsford is once again inviting Abbotsford elementary stu dents in kindergarten through grade five to participate in a contest to design the Mayor’s annual Christmas card.

Every year Mayor and Council send out many electronic Christmas cards across the city and province. Adding children’s artwork to the card adds an extra element of cheer. Elementary students from across the city are en couraged to create and submit a fes tive Christmas drawing that could be selected for the cover of the Mayor’s official 2022 Christmas card.

“Children bring such joy to the holiday season and it is my hope that their fes tive spirit shines brightly in their art work for the Christmas card contest,” said Ross Siemens, Mayor of Abbots ford. “I look forward to seeing all the creative artwork and it is my privilege to share the winning art with family, friends and community members this holiday season.”

This is the third Mayor’s annual Christ mas card contest and the first for Mayor Ross Siemens. Last year, nearly 600 entries were submitted. Each entry was festive, cheerful and truly showcased our elementary school children’s com munity talent and spirit.

The student with the winning design will receive a Christmas prize package. Students wanting to participate in the contest must email their card design to mayorsoffice@abbotsford.ca no later than November 30th.
