Have Your Say On Secondary Suites

The City of Mission is asking residents to share their perspectives on secondary suites in an engagement that launched today on Engage Mission.

Secondary suites hold a significant role in providing a range of housing types in Mission by offering a relatively affordable housing option for renters and the potential for additional income for homeowners.

“Secondary suites are an important issue for the people of Mission,” said Mayor Paul Horn. “For many, they are a means to affordable home ownership, while others rely

on them as rental housing. But we also know that people have questions about parking, utilities, bylaw compliance and safety. It’s time to revise our policies, but we need the community’s input so that we get it right.”

Feedback from this engagement will inform how the City moves forward with a secondary suites policy and administrative program.

Survey participants are invited to enter into a draw for a gift certificate for the Leisure Centre.

2022 Nissan Frontier King Cab Pro-4X: All work, All play!

For 2022, Nissan has come out with a new version of its venerable Frontier pickup. The Frontier has been a solid performer for Nissan and now comes with some new engineering upgrades, cosmetics, and interior features. When it comes to the styling

The King Cab Pro-4X model (As tested.) ) has small, rear-hinged back doors and holds 4 occupants, while the Crew Cab has four full-sized doors and can seat 5 people. Note the King Cab has a much more compact cabin style, while the Crew Cab gives

of the 2022 Nissan Frontier, there is now a more edgy squared-off look to the design with an attractive defined look. Meanwhile front and rear LED exterior lighting is standard.

A choice of body configurations is available, with either a King Cab or Crew Cab, five-foot or six-foot bed. The King Cab (extended cabin) can be had with the long bed; and the crew cab is available with either bed depending on the trim. Added to the bed on all trims for 2022 is a smoother operating damped tailgate and the bed height has been increased by 2.6 cm. The 2022 Nissan Frontier price starts at $39,998 for the King Cab S and going up to $47,498 for the off- road equipped Pro-4X Crew Cab. The Canada only King Cab Pro-4X starts at $45,598.

In terms of load and towing ability, the Frontier can tow up to 6,490 lbs when properly equipped, and a trailer-sway control system is standard, which automatically activates the brakes if the trailer begins to waggle. Cargo capacity is up to 1,430 lbs. The motivation behind the Frontier is a 3.8-litre V6 engine paired with a nine-speed automatic gearbox. The new engine makes 49 horsepower more than the previous generation.

The base King Cab S is $39,998, while the Crew Cab begins in SV trim for $43,998. The Nissan Pro4X Crew, starts at $47,498. All trims include standard adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, lane departure warning, and emergency front and rear braking.

The interior, once a weak point of the previous Frontier is all new and is a big improvement over the last model with better driver ergonomics, design, and comfort. Comfortable seats front and rear are present, and the instrument cluster looks nice with a sporty design. An eight-inch centre touchscreen is standard; while a nine-inch screen is available, which is the biggest in this truck segment. A new centre console places the shift lever more conveniently closer to the driver. Interior storage is good with a four-litre storage compartment in the redesigned center console, 6.5 litres of storage can be found in the front doors, 5.7 litres in the rear doors, and there is handy extra storage under the rear seats.

Equipment levels are good. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, as are Type A and Type C ports, and two 12-volt outlets. A 360-de-

A fourwheel limited-slip system transfers power to the wheels that need it when traction is compromised. Hill-start and hill descent assists are standard. Even over potholes, and rougher than normal roads, the Frontier remains largely composed.

Shield 360 suite of driver aids is standard across all trims, and includes: forward collision warning, intelligent cruise control, lane-departure warning, rear cross traffic alert, and rear auto braking.

On the road, the Frontier offers decent enough handling with its rack and pinion steering and some off-road ability with its 2 Wheel and 4-wheel

The Frontier offers fuel economy numbers of 13.7L/10.6L/12.3L city/ hwy/combined. To sum up, the new improvements were long overdue and add a whole lot more to this tough, versatile truck. Also, note that you can spec this truck with a slew of option that make it even more luxurious. Overall, the Crew Cab is the one to get of you need to seat five, but if you need to occasionally seat four, the King cab is just fine. Highly recommended as an excellent truck for work or play.

2022 Nissan Frontier King Cab Pro priced from: $45,598 plus options, freight and PDE. Price as tested- $47,848.

MLA Bruce Banman named Shadow Minister for Emergency Management, Climate Readiness & Citizen Services

BC Liberal Leader Kevin Falcon has named Abbotsford South MLA Bruce Banman as the Official Opposition Shadow Minister for Emergency Management, Climate Readiness & Citizen Services. This comes as part of a broader announcement of new shadow minister roles, aimed at holding the NDP government to account and ensuring it addresses the critical issues facing British Columbians.

“I’m excited to serve as the Shadow Minister for Emergency Management, Climate Readiness & Citizen Services during such a critical time for ensuring that all British Columbians are well informed, prepared, and supported during emergencies and climate disasters,” said Banman. “B.C. is prone to flooding, wildfires, earthquakes and extreme weather events. Ensuring that the government

fulfils its commitments to those most at risk and most impacted will be my biggest priority.”

The critic roles announced today set the foundation for an experienced, passionate team ready to keep the NDP accountable.

“As the Official Opposition, we are responsible for ensuring that British Columbians are supported to get through the critical issues they face. It is also important to ensure that people can access information, services and resources in a timely, efficient and affordable manner,” said Banman.

“I'm proud to work with an extraordinary team of passionate MLAs under Kevin Falcon’s leadership who will use their diverse skills and experience to ask sound questions, raise critical matters, and work with dedication on behalf of their constituents.”

Provincial health officer's statement on influenza-related deaths in children, youth

Dr. Bonnie Henry, provincial health officer, has issued the following statement on influenza-associated deaths in children and youth:

"The BC Centre for Disease and Control is aware of six reports of influenza-associated deaths among children and youth in B.C. this season, with investigations ongoing. My thoughts are with families and communities impacted by the loss of a loved one.

"Early findings indicate some of the children experienced secondary bacterial infections contributing to severe illness, which can be a complication of influenza.

"It is important to know that death associated with influenza in previously healthy children continues to be rare. Public-health officials are monitoring the situation closely, and we urge everyone to do their part by taking steps to protect yourself,

your children and loved ones against the flu.

"The children who died included one who was younger than five years old, three who were between five and nine, and two adolescents who were between 15 and 19. Death associated with influenza in previously healthy children is a tragic, but rare event and is especially rare in school-age children and teens.

"This is an unusual season with unusual characteristics, including an early and intense surge in cases. With this unusual pattern, enhanced surveillance has been implemented that includes reporting of pediatric influenza-related deaths to publichealth officials. As the information is confirmed, updates on pediatric influenza-related deaths will be posted weekly as part of the respiratory surveillance summaries on the BCCDC website.

"You can take measures to prevent influenza and to treat those at higher risk of severe complications. Vaccination remains our best defence. Vaccination against influenza is available to all children six months and older in B.C. This is particularly important for children at highest individual risk of severe outcomes, including those with chronic medical conditions, those who need to take Aspirin or ASA for long periods of time, children who are very obese, infants and toddlers.

"While children typically have the highest respiratory-virus infection rates, most children with influenza and other respiratory viruses typically recover safely at home without the need for medical intervention. For children at high risk of severe complications, parents should consider talking to their care provider about early access to an anti-viral drug called oseltamivir (Tamiflu),

which is most effective against influenza if started within 12 hours, and ideally not later than 48 hours after illness onset.

"Parents of all children should seek care if your child experiences difficulty breathing, or if your child's fever goes away and comes back or persists longer than five days. This may indicate a possible bacterial infection.

"With multiple respiratory illnesses circulating and an early start to influenza season, everyone needs to take preventative measures. This means staying home if you're sick, frequently washing your hands and following proper respiratory etiquette, such as covering your coughs, properly disposing of tissues and wearing a mask when appropriate."

Heavy snow, freezing rain will affect Fraser Valley, Sea-to-Sky roads overnight

Drivers are advised that heavy snow, freezing rain and high winds overnight are expected to create poor driving conditions in many parts of the Fraser Valley and throughout coastal B.C.

As much as 25 centimetres of snow is forecast for the Sea-to-Sky (Whistler North) area over the next 24 hours, and provincial crews and highway maintenance contractors are out in full force prepping roads and preparing to manage snow.

Heavy rain mixed with snow is forecast for Metro Vancouver overnight; however, significant accumulation of snow is not anticipated. In the Fraser Valley, as much as 10 centimetres of snow is forecast at higher elevations with a strong possibility of freezing rain throughout the region.

Highway 1 through the Fraser Canyon Highway was closed at 8 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 9, 2022, due to high avalanche risk in the Jackass Mountain area. Local traffic will be able to travel from Hope to Boothroyd during the closure.

Drivers are asked to do their part by being well prepared and driving according to conditions.

Road conditions can change quickly, and highways may be closed with little or no notice.

Kevin Falcon announces Official Opposition Shadow Ministers

Following the announcement of David Eby’s new supersized cabinet and the creation of several new ministries, BC Liberal Leader Kevin Falcon released the following statement announcing new Official Opposition shadow ministers:

“While the NDP may have anointed a new Premier and grown the size of Cabinet, British Columbians still haven’t seen things improve after continued NDP inaction on the important issues facing people in every corner of our province.

“Our BC Liberal Caucus remains committed to holding them to account for that lack of action in areas like healthcare, affordability, and public safety, all while continuing to

push government for bold responses to the various crises we must collectively tackle.

“As the Official Opposition, we have a responsibility to make sure David Eby and the NDP are held accountable for their decisions in government and I'm excited to name new opposition shadow ministers today to do just that.

“I’m incredibly proud to work with such a talented team of dedicated MLAs who will use their diverse skills and experience to ask tough questions, raise important issues, and work hard on behalf of their constituents and all British Columbians.”

ICBC files for no increase to basic insurance rates for two more years

Government reforms to ICBC are paying off with affordable, steady rates and fiscal stability for people.

ICBC is filing an application with the British Columbia Utilities Commission (BCUC) for no increase to basic insurance rates for the next two years, which marks five years of no increases to basic insurance rates.

“Our government is committed to keeping costs down for all British Columbians,” said Premier David Eby. “Holding firm on ICBC’s basic insurance rate for two more years will help millions of drivers with their monthly bills amid global inflation.”

With the introduction of Enhanced Care in May 2021, auto insurance rates in British Columbia have gone from some of the most expensive in Canada to being among the most affordable. A Canadawide rate comparison report by Ernst & Young

looked at 30 different driver profiles and compared how much auto insurance would cost in nine provinces across Canada. The report found that British Columbians pay among the lowest auto insurance rates in Canada.

“A key priority with Enhanced Care was to make insurance rates more

affordable and to keep them that way, and this rate application continues to deliver on that,” said Mike Farnworth, Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General. “We are pleased that, during this time of rising inflation and the cost of everyday life increasing, ICBC is able to keep Basic insurance rates stable for British Columbians for another two years.”

If the BCUC approves the application, British Columbians will continue to benefit from stable and more affordable basic auto insurance rates for another two years.

“This filing means British Columbians will have seen no increase to basic insurance rates for five years. We’re very pleased to see Enhanced Care continues to deliver on one of its key principles: more affordable auto insurance for our customers,” said Nicolas Jimenez, president and CEO, ICBC.

In support of ICBC’s basic insurance rate application, government has provided direction to BCUC to ensure ICBC builds sufficient capital reserves, which paves the way for a two-year rate filing.

Along with more affordable and stable insurance rates, Enhanced

Care is providing British Columbians with some of the best care, recovery and income-replacement benefits available in Canada. Under Enhanced Care, British Columbians injured in crashes can have peace of mind knowing they will be supported with benefits when they need them for as long as they need them.

City of Mission Makes Significant Donation from the Forestry Reserve to Fund Remaining CT Scanner Campaign

Profits from the Forestry Reserve have been donated to the Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation to support their campaign to fund a CT scanner at Mission Memorial Hospital.

Council supported a one-time donation of $377,500 from the Forestry Reserve to support community efforts to secure better access to diagnostic imaging right here in Mission. Mayor Paul Horn made the announcement during the annual luncheon held by the Mission Regional Chamber of Commerce on Thursday, Dec. 8.

“With this contribution, the community has been able to reach the fundraising goal for the CT Scanner and other key resources,” said Mayor Paul Horn. “We want to see continued investment in local resources. By supporting groups like the Fraser Valley Healthcare Foundation and MATH, we are telling the Province and the region that we are serious about modernizing our healthcare capacity.”

The grant money will be used toward fulfilling Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation’s commitment of $1.3 million to fund a CT scanner in Mission, as well as the purchase of additional medical equipment.

“On behalf of the Board of Directors, staff, Mission All Together for Healthcare (MATH) society, and donors who have worked tirelessly to raise funds to bring a greatly needed CT scanner to Mission Memorial Hospital, I want to thank the City of Mission for a generous contribution to this campaign,” said Elizabeth Harris, Executive Director, Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation.

“The gift allows us to finalize our commitment of $1.3M and make the CT scanner a reality,” she said. “We are grateful to Mayor and Council for this early Christmas gift to the community of Mission giving them better access to highly effective diagnostic imaging that will help improve the services people count on, closer to home in the community they live in.”

Mission has managed the Tree Farm License #26 since 1958 and has regularly used profits from timber harvesting to fund local community projects. Recent projects include funding toward the Boswyk Seniors Centre, a portable mill for woodworking students at Mission Secondary School, and project costs for the Centennial Park tree lighting.

Dr. Ambedkar portrait formally gifted to the Center for India and South Asia Research (CISAR) at UBC

Vancouver - on the 66th death anniversary of Dr. Ambedkar, family of the late artist Shital Anmol, officially gifted a portrait of Dr. Ambedkar to the Centre for India and South Asia Research (CISAR) on December 6 at a ceremony hosted by Chetna Association of Canada in partnership with the CISAR and Ambedkarite International Coordination Society (AICS).

“This is a very emotional moment for us today”, said Mrs. Sushil Anmol with tears in her eyes.

Sushil Anmol, the late Anmol’s wife, said gifting of the painting will make Mr. Anmol happy and proud of his contributions.

Shital Anmol’s paintings of Dr. Ambedkar were previously gifted and are displayed with pride at the Indian Consulate office in Vancouver, City of Burnaby, and Guru Ravidass Community Center. The gifting ceremony and paying of tributes were arranged

by Chetna Association of Canada, in partnership with the CISAR and AICS.

Harmesh Chander, Vice President of Chetna, shared updates on the Ambedkar International Symposium being planned for April 22 and 23, 2023 and urged people to visit www. ase2023.ca for more information.

As December 6 also coincides with the Ecole Polytechnique Massacre in Montreal where 14 women were killed, a one-minute of silence was observed as a tribute to these and many other women who face violence because of their gender.

In Canada, December 6 is now observed as The National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. The program was concluded with a song by Pamma Sunner, and vote of thanks by Priti Narayan, director for the CISAR at UBC.

More people will train to be professional truck drivers

The Ministry of Social Development and Poverty Reduction’s Community and Employer Partnerships (CEP) project focuses on providing occupational training and work experience to immigrants.

ence with a combination of applied knowledge and on-the-job experience to give them a clear pathway to careers in the truck driving industry,” said Harry Bacchal, president, Big Rig Driving School Ltd.

As many as 30 eligible participants will receive training to prepare them for jobs as professional truck drivers in the Lower Mainland.

“This training will help people gain the necessary skills and education for employment as truck drivers, which is in high demand,” said Sheila Malcolmson, Minister of Social Development and Pov-

erty Reduction. “For newcomers and immigrants, this training is a pathway to rewarding employment and stability for their families.”

Big Rig Driving School is receiving more than $660,000 to prepare participants for employment as professional truck drivers in the Lower Mainland.

Participants will receive 10 weeks of employability and essential skills training, including communication and Mandatory Entry-Level Training (MELT), four weeks of on-the-job work experience with local employers, and one week of followup support to assist participants in their job search.

“This program will give the participants a great learning experi-

The first intake of full-time, groupbased learning begins Monday, Dec. 12, 2022. The second and third intakes begin March and July 2023, respectively. People interested in finding out more about this or other CEP projects can contact their local WorkBC centre.

This announcement is part of StrongerBC’s Future Ready plan. Future Ready is making education and training more accessible, affordable and relevant to help businesses grow and prepare British Columbians for the jobs of tomorrow.

New complex-care housing services will open in Chilliwack

People living in Chilliwack with complex mental-health and substance-use challenges will have access to enhanced services as the Province adds as many as 22 complex-care housing spaces.

Complex-care housing provides supports to people who are facing overlapping mental-health and substance-use challenges, or trauma or brain injuries. Through Budget 2022, government is investing $164 million over the next three years to provide complex-care housing to as many as 500 people throughout British Columbia.

“Every person in British Columbia deserves a home and somewhere they can feel safe and live with dignity,” said Jennifer Whiteside, Minister of Mental Health and Addictions. “Complex-care housing services in Chilliwack will connect people with the supports they need to access care, maintain or find new housing, and help clients break out of the cycle of homelessness.”

The complex-care housing spaces will be at 45857 Trethewey Ave., and the previously announced fourstorey building will have 49 units of supportive housing, with 22 spaces designated for complex-care housing. Additionally, 42 shelter beds will be available for people in the community. Construction for the multi-use housing project is expected to be complete in fall 2023.

The complex-care housing site in Chilliwack will be delivered by Fraser Health, in partnership with BC Housing and the Phoenix Drug and Alcohol Recovery and Education Centre, which will operate the building. Complex-care clients will have access to enhanced supports on site, including nurses, peer workers, social workers and other health-care professionals, along with access to treatment and other specialized services.

“We are learning more every day about the needs and vulnerability of the clients we serve,” said Jacklyn Mcmaster, community health

worker, Fraser Health. “Every day we feel a sense of pride because we are supporting clients to go through life-changing treatments, such as surgeries and any other needed health care, while sustaining their housing. We are strong advocates for the clients, and we are supporting them to get the help they need with dignity.”

Complex-care housing services are voluntary and will connect with people in their homes, helping them to stabilize and achieve their goals. People in complex-care housing will receive comprehensive, personcentred services to meet their needs. These services can include: medication management; psychosocial rehabilitation supports;

Indigenous-specific services; recreational and leisure activities; life-skills support and skill development;

peer-support workers; and addictions medicine.

“Phoenix Society welcomes the additional supports and services that complex-care housing will bring to residents,” said David MacIntyre, CEO, Phoenix Society. “Through complex-care housing, residents will receive the support they need to stabilize their housing and improve their health outcomes. Phoenix looks forward to helping residents on their journey and building better outcomes for both the individual and the community.”

The Province launched complexcare housing in January 2022, with services announced in Abbotsford, Bella Coola, Chilliwack, Kamloops, Kelowna, Langley, Maple Ridge, Nanaimo, Powell River, the Northern Health region, Sunshine Coast, Surrey, Vancouver and Victoria. Since the launch, the Province has announced services for 410 complex-care clients in communities throughout the province.

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.

Grants support students with school activities from kindergarten through Grade 12

Students throughout B.C. will benefit from extracurricular events, activities and equipment supported by Community Gaming Grants to more than 1,300 school parent advisory councils (PACs) and district parent advisory councils (DPACs).

“Learning, fun and growth also takes place outside the regular school curriculum, and parent advisory councils are key partners in keeping students and their families engaged and connected to those opportunities for enrichment,” said Anne Kang, Minister of Municipal Affairs. “Community Gaming Grants to PACs and DPACs help fund everything from robotics and photography clubs to playground equipment and chess competitions, strengthening students’ lives and building on their school experience.”

More than $11 million in Community Gaming Grants is helping PACs and DPACs during the 202223 school year. Each year, schools in the province receive funding through PACs for extracurricular activities that benefit students’ well-being and through DPACs for activities that foster parental involvement in schools.

“We would like to thank the Province for continuing to recognize and support the important work parents and guardians do for students and school communities,” said Sue Cleall, chair, parent advisory council, École Boundary Elementary. “The Community Gaming Grant is a welcome addi-

tion to our fundraising efforts and will go toward providing students with engaging activities and learning opportunities that complement the teaching and learning that takes place in the classroom.”

With assistance from Community Gaming Grants, PACs use funding to support a range of activities, such as field trips in B.C., performances, movie nights, school dances and conferences, as well as buying sports equipment. DPACs can use funding for the cost of informational and promotional materials for parents, meeting room rentals, presenter fees and travel for meetings.

“The importance of direct gaming funding to parent advisory councils and district parent advisory councils is well established,” said Caroline Miller, chair, BC Association for Charitable Gaming. “This reliable source of funding benefits K-12 students across B.C. by enhancing extracurricular opportunities, while at the same time promoting parent and community involvement. We are grateful for the continued support of this critical funding for youth and value the opportunity to present workshops for advisory councils.”

More than $11 million this year for PAC and DPAC grants is part of the $140 million distributed annually to approximately 5,000 not-for-profit organizations that deliver services and make life better for people throughout British Columbia.

Association of Legal Aid Lawyers ratify agreement under Shared Recovery Mandate

The Ministry of Attorney General, the Association of Legal Aid Lawyers and Legal Aid BC have ratified an agreement under the Shared Recovery Mandate.

Legal Aid BC is a non-profit organization created by the Legal Services Society Act in 1979 that provides legal information, advice and representation services. Legal Aid BC’s priority is to serve the interests of people with low incomes, but many of its services are available to all British Columbians. The Association of Legal Aid Lawyers is recognized by government as the exclusive bargaining agent for lawyers contracted to Legal Aid BC to provide tariffbased legal aid services.

Key priorities of the 2022 mandate include: protecting the services that people in British Columbia depend on; improving health care and preparing for future needs and challenges; and supporting a strong economic recovery that includes everyone in B.C.

These negotiations are focused on providing a fair and reasonable offer to public-sector workers that includes inflation protection, while ensuring government has the resources to continue to invest in building a stronger province for everyone.

The ratified agreement is consistent with the elements of the mandate:

three-year term – April 1, 2022, until March 31, 2025

general wage increases:

Year 1 – a flat increase of $0.25/ hour, which provides a greater percentage increase for lower-tier rates, plus 3.24%

Year 2 – 5.5% plus a potential cost-of-living adjustment to a maximum of 6.75%

Year 3 – 2% plus a potential costof-living adjustment to a maximum of 3%

a negotiable flexibility allocation for as much as 0.25% in years 1 and 2 to support mutually beneficial outcomes for both parties.

Other achievements in this round of negotiations include investments aimed at addressing legal aid lawyer recruitment and retention challenges, particularly in remote locations and in family law; professional development; and a new policy engagement agreement with the Association of Legal Aid Lawyers.

Currently, more than 230,000 public-sector employees are covered by tentative or ratified agreements reached under B.C.’s Shared Recovery Mandate.
