Digital imaging and robotics enhancing patient care at Burnaby Hospital

ABBOTSFORD DENTAL CENTRE

To provide the best surgical care for patients, Burnaby Hospital Foundation and Fraser Health partnered on a $2.3 million robotic-assisted surgical system for the Jim Pattison Surgery Centre at Burnaby Hospital. The Mako RoboticArm Assisted System allows surgical teams to perform hip and knee replacement surgery with greater precision and accuracy.

Since June 3, 2024, more than 50 patients have received full or partial robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery. “It’s going very well,” says Dr. Tim Kostamo, division head, Orthopedics, Burnaby Hospital, and Burnaby Hospital Foundation Board Member. “Patients are recovering well. We’ve had no complications, and our early review shows perfectly aligned and balanced knees.”

While the robotic arm is an impressive piece of technology, it couldn’t do what it does without the accompanying system that creates pre-operative plans using CT imaging and software. As part of the pre-planning process, every patient has a CT scan that produces an individualized 3D model of their joint, including details like deformities and degree of arthritis. Armed with the intricacies of

each patient’s joint, the surgeon then uses software that controls the robotics to plan precise cuts to the bone. “The robot can exactly match the CT scan,” says Dr. Kostamo, “making it possible for the implant to be completely dialed in to the patient’s anatomy.”

More precision in the surgical process is expected to result in quicker recovery times for patients, fewer complications, and less post-operative pain. A quality improvement review is underway, and the research will be presented at an Orthopedics conference in early 2025.

While the goal is improved patient care, the benefits extend beyond the patient. “Surgery is incredibly demanding — both in terms of stress and physical exertion,” says Dr. Kostamo. “This robotic arm aids the surgeon for a very physically demanding part of the operation. It helps them conserve energy and thus increase their ability to perform more procedures.”

Three surgeons are now trained on the Mako system. The target is 350 Mako cases annually, representing about half of all hip and knee replacement cases at Burnaby Hospital.

Holiday Magic Sprinkles the Atrium: Twelve Trees of Caring Bring Joy and Sparkle to Patients-in-Care

As the community buzzes with holiday cheer and preparations for Christmas fill the air, Abbotsford Regional Hospital invites you to witness a special transformation within our atrium. This year, we have illuminated our space with twelve beautifully decorated Christmas trees, each uniquely adorned to evoke warmth, wonder, and the true spirit of the season for our patients and their families who may be spending their holidays away from home.

The holiday season can be especially challenging for those in a hospital setting, when the festive sounds and sights of community celebrations feel tantalisingly out of reach. Recognising this, we wanted to create a comforting and uplifting environment to remind our patients-in-care that they are not alone during this time of year.

Each tree has been thoughtfully decorated, embodying its own sparkle, which casts a warm glow throughout the hospital’s corridors. From twinkling lights to delicate ornaments and heartfelt messages, our Trees of Caring symbolise the love and support that surrounds every patient-incare.

Albeit, not everyone celebrates Christmas, the magical atmosphere the trees create is designed to inspire feelings of comfort and solace, a welcome distraction during moments of healing.

This initiative would not have been possible without the generosity of our community, especially the donors that have sponsored the trees. A heartfelt thank you goes out to all the individuals and organisations who donated decorations, funds, and their time to bring the Trees of Caring to life.

As the pleasant aromas of Christmas cookies, Starbucks, and festive songs echo through our hospital, we invite anyone visiting Abbotsford Regional Hospital to take a moment to bask in the twinkling beauty of the Trees of Caring. Whether you are a patient-in-care, a loved one, or a member of our staff, we hope that these trees bring a little extra cheer and remind everyone that even in challenging times, there is beauty, hope, and compassion all around us.

Join us as we celebrate this magical season and spread joy to those who need it most. And if you would like a candy cane or a magical smile please pop by our office, we are always there (during office hours).

With caring hearts,

MISSISSAUGA, Ont. Designed to give adventurers off-road thrills and confident capability, Armada’s firstever PRO-4X version adds all-terrain tires, increased approach angle, underbody skid plates, electronic locking rear differential, and Adaptive Electronic Air Suspension2. Following the iconic appearance of other Nissan PRO-4X models, the 2025 Armada PRO-4X wears numerous Lava Red accents, including for the functional tow hooks, lettering on the wheel caps and an accent element on the D-pillar. Visual differentiation continues with LED fog lights, black fender flares, black-painted mirror covers and roof rails, a black-painted front grille and unique PRO-4X-themed interior accents. The 2025 Nissan Armada is offered in five well-equipped grades: SL, PRO-4X, Platinum, Platinum Reserve and Platinum Reserve Captain’s Chairs.

The 2025 Armada is powered by a new twin-turbo, direct-injected 3.5-liter V6 engine. Paired with a standard 9-speed automatic transmission, the engine supports an impressive standard towing capacity of 8,500 pounds3 with a Class IV tow hitch and 7-pin harness/ pre-wiring included on all grades.

In varying conditions, eight selectable drive modes (Standard, Eco, Sport, Tow, Snow, Sand, Rock, Mud/Rut)

adapt vehicle systems to suit different terrains. The Off-road Information Display includes an inclinometer, slip indicator, and a steering angle indicator. Visual enhancements for the Armada PRO-4X include Lava Red accents, LED fog lights, black fender flares, black-painted mirror covers and roof rails, a black-painted front grille, and unique PRO-4X-themed interior accents.

For added convenience, ProPILOT Assist 2.14 is standard on Platinum Reserve. Nissan’s advanced handsoff assistance technology for highway driving allows attentive drivers to take their hands off the steering wheel in single-lane highway operation, while the system manages cceleration, steering, and braking. For additional peace of mind, Nissan Safety Shield® 3605 is standard on every Armada grade.

On all 2025 Armada grades, wireless Apple CarPlay® and wireless Android Auto™ are standard. There are six USB Type-C ports throughout the cabin, plus a standard wireless device charger in the center console. To deliver rich and immersive sound that matches its bold and imposing capabilities, the Armada offers standard Klipsch® Premium Audio system. It features 12 speakers, including a DualPower® subwoofer, with 600 watts of power.

The 2025 Armada uses powerful camera technology to help drivers confidently navigate parking lots, urban areas and even off-road. They include a 3D version of Nissan’s Around View® Monitor, an Invisible Hood View and a Front Wide View for seeing past parked cars, buildings or other obstacles. The all-new Armada

offers three different levels of driver assistance technologies that can make road trips, or even just the daily commute, more convenient.

Standard on all grades is ProPILOT Assist 1.112, which combines Intelligent Cruise Control with steering assistance to help the driver stay in their lane and maintain a set speed and distance to the vehicle ahead. To elevate the driver assistance experience ProPILOT Assists 1.1 uses navigation information to proactively adjust ve-

hicle speed for curves, interchanges and other driving situations.

Standard on the Platinum Reserve Captain’s Chairs is ProPILOT Assist 2.1, which is Nissan’s most advanced driver assistance technology. It allows attentive drivers to take their hands off the steering wheel in single-lane highway operation, while the system handles acceleration, steering and braking. A map of roads on which ProPILOT Assist 2.1 is available can be found here.

The 2025 Armada also includes numerous safety technologies on all grades with standard Nissan Safety Shield® 36013, including Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, High Beam Assist, Blind Spot Warning, Lane Departure Warning, Rear Automatic Braking and Rear Cross Traffic Alert, plus Intelligent Forward Collision Warning, Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention and Intelligent Lane Intervention.

Eight selectable drive modes (Standard, Eco, Sport, Tow, Snow, Sand, Rock, Mud/Rut) on PRO-4X alter vehicle systems to optimize performance for the selected scenario, and Hill Descent Control helps manage speeds when going downhill. An Offroad Information Display features an inclinometer, slip indicator and a steering angle indicator.

Innovative camera technologies also improve visibility around PRO-4X: Invisible Hood View helps spot obstacles by providing a virtual view “through” the engine bay, Front Wide View provides a wide-angle vantage to the front and 3D Around View® Monitor8 allows the driver to “rotate” the viewing angle on the infotainment display to spot obstacles and hazards from nearly any angle.

Packaging the latest Nissan technologies with enhanced capability, the all-new 2025 Armada has a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) starting at CA$84,9981 and will be on sale in December.

MP Brad Vis Statement on President-

elect

Donald Trump’s Announcement

OTTAWA, ON - Brad Vis, Member of Parliament for Mission—Matsqui—Fraser Canyon and Conservative Shadow Minister for Small Business Recovery and Growth, issued the following statement on President-elect Donald Trump’s announcement on Canadian tariffs: “Yesterday, President-elect Donald Trump made an unjustified threat of a 25% tariff on Canada’s already weak and shrinking economy. 65% Canadian small businesses participate in international trade and trade with the United States accounts for 40% of our economy. 1 in 6 Canadian jobs are linked to trade with over $960.9 billion in total trade

to the United States annually. If these tariffs are implemented, they would have a devastating impact on our workers and businesses.

It’s time for the Liberals to start taking the Canadian economy seriously. If Trudeau gets this wrong our economy will collapse. Conservatives are pushing for an emergency debate in Parliament to address this matter immediately.”

$1.2 Million Needed to Meet Increased Needs at the Archway Food Bank

The Archway Food Bank of Abbotsford urgently needs to raise $1.2 million before the end of the year to keep up with the growing need for food in our community.

“The holiday season is when the majority of our donations usually come in and this generosity enables us to keep providing access to food to 5,000+ individuals a month throughout the year,” said Rebecca Thuro, Archway Food Security Manager.

“If we don’t meet our goal, we’re going to have to look at reducing the amount of food we can provide or the amount of people we can help.”

The Archway Food Bank relies on financial donations, grants, donated goods, and recovered food from grocery stores. However, with the increased number of people seeking support, the food bank also regularly needs to buy pallets of food.

“Despite stretching our resources as much as possible by buying essentials in bulk and with our dedicated volunteers, we’re still facing a shortfall,” shared Thuro. “We are often people’s last resort and can’t imagine turning anyone away.”

Adding to the fundraising pressure is the ongoing Canada Post strike which has indefinitely delayed an annual city-wide mailout that has been essential to bringing in holiday donations.

“We are extremely concerned. The timing couldn’t be worse for charities like us,” said Cindy Walker, Archway Philanthropy Manag-

er. “We can’t reach as many people and although we accept donations online, in person or by phone, the majority of our funds usually come through the mail.”

During the festive season, the Archway Food Bank runs the Christmas Bureau program that also gives out the ingredients to a traditional Christmas meal, helping families to celebrate with a special holidayinspired breakfast and dinner. In addition, they collect and distribute thousands of toys for kids who might otherwise not have a gift to open.

The Archway Food Bank helps over 5,000 individuals each month which has gone up from an average of 3,500 people a month in 2022.

Food Banks across Canada are facing similar issues. The HungerCount 2024 report by Food Banks Canada recorded over 2 million visits to Canadian food banks in March 2024. This is the highest number in history and represents

a 90% increase compared to 2019.

At the Archway Food Bank, 38% of the people accessing food are children, 10% are seniors and 12% have a disability.

“Seniors on fixed incomes, working parents, newcomers and those with disabilities can’t keep up with the rising costs of groceries and housing,” said Thuro. “We need better support systems for people but in the meantime, we’ll be here doing what we can to fill in the gaps.”

Those interested in making a donation can visit AbbotsfordFoodBank.com/Donate to donate online or see alternative donation methods. Organizations who would like to set up a fundraiser or food drive can email donate@ archway.ca for more details.

There are hundreds of pigeon fanciers across Canada from Punjabi descent that raise pigeons. But they primarily raise “Indian high fliers”. A breed meant for endurance and flying long hours. The concept of their competition like back home in India is to find out which pigeon fanciers pigeon flys the longest. The last one to sit wins the competition.

In contrast, you can count the number of pigeon fanciers in Canada from Punjabi descent that raise, fly, and race racing pigeons on one hand. One of the most famous fanciers in Canada happens to be Punjabi. Bob Duhra from Calgary, Alberta is my “ustaad”, mentor, and coach. He is a long time fancier and has won everything there is to win in pigeon racing. Similarly, Hardeep Sahota from Victoria, B.C. is another long time pigeon fancier and a champion himself with the Capital City Racing Pigeon Club based out of Victoria. I am fortunate to join them with the title of club champion.

For the first time in the club’s history since it started in the 1920’s a Punjabi has won the title of Overall Club Champion. This is a proud moment for the community and I am hoping other Punjabi’s become interested in racing pigeons where the competitions are more fair, organized, and structured. Punjabi’s are naturally attached to animals whether it be horses, dogs, or pigeons. I am hoping this is just the start of representation from our community. In 2025 I will be participating in national and international pigeon races by sending teams of birds to fly against hundreds of fanciers and against thousands of birds. If any existing pigeon fancier or a newcomer wishes to join and enjoy this great backyard sport I am more than willing to share my time and knowledge in getting someone started.

Post Office Strike Impacts AHGSS During Critical Holiday Giving Season

A nationwide postal strike has left charities in Abbotsford, including the Abbotsford A-List Favorite Non-Profit Abbotsford Hospice and Grief Support Society, struggling as critical holiday donations are delayed.

The holiday season is traditionally a time when organizations rely on community generosity to fund programs for the coming year. However, the postal disruption has brought a wave of uncertainty to charities dependent on mailed donations.

“We rely on these donations each year to support our programs for the next fiscal year, and without those cheques in the mail, it could

severely impact our services and programs in 2025,” says Andrea Critchley, Executive Director at Abbotsford Hospice and Grief Support Society.

The strike’s timing has been particularly devastating, occurring during the peak of holiday giving, a period that accounts for a significant portion of annual funding for AHGSS.

Local charities are urging donors to consider alternative ways to contribute, such as online donations or in-person drop-offs, to ensure their support reaches those in need.

AHGSS is hosting their Annual Giving Tuesday event at Blackwood Building Supplies (33050 South Fraser Way) Tues Dec 3rd from 11-3pm where donations will be triple matched by AHGSS legacy donors. A BBQ hot dog lunch and refreshments will be available by donation.

AHGSS’ “Pop-Up Post Office” will take place on December 10th and 11th from 4-6pm at the beautiful Holmberg House, where guests can make their annual cheque donation in person and receive a beautiful 2024 ornament (while quantities last).

The Abbotsford Hospice and Grief Support Society provides essential services for individuals and families navigating end-of-life, and grief and loss, and are asking the community to rally together during this challenging time.

New case of chronic wasting disease discovered in deer in Southeast B.C.

Today, the Province of B.C. announced the confirmation of another case of chronic wasting disease (CWD) in the Kootenays. CWD is a fatal infection that affects the deer family, including mule and white-tailed deer, elk, moose and caribou. In January, CWD was detected for the first time in B.C. in two deer in the East Kootenays. Deer with CWD often appear healthy until very late stages of the disease where they are unsteady, stumbling and are often very thin. The disease is difficult to manage and nearly impossible to eradicate. While no cases of the disease have been documented

in people, it is not known if the disease can be transmitted to humans. SFU assistant professor Kaylee Byers is the regional deputy director of the B.C. node of the Canadian Wildlife Health Cooperative and collaborates with the Wildlife Health Program in the B.C. Ministry of Water, Land and Resource Stewardship, which leads CWD surveillance in the province. Byers can speak about the implications of CWD’s appearance in B.C., the importance hunter participation in surveillance and the difficulties managing and eradicating the disease.

Update on the protest encampment at City Hall

We know that many people have questions about the encampment at City Hall and what actions the City is taking following the court decision we received in October, which is why we are providing this interim update.

Many of you are aware that, on Oct. 17, the Supreme Court of BC issued a 74-page decision on an injunction application made by the Matsqui Abbotsford Impact Society (on behalf of the Drug War Survivors), who were seeking to prevent the City from removing a homelessness encampment at City Hall. Although the Court denied the injunction, it ordered several conditions for the City in proceeding with the removal of the encampment.

The conditions imposed by the Court include a list of services that the City is required to provide to the people living in the encampment. However, many of these services are outside of our control and/or jurisdiction, like providing housing options, harm reduction services, mental health assessments, and addiction and overdose prevention services. All of these services are provided in BC by the provincial government through agencies like Fraser Health and BC Housing (not by municipal staff), and the residents of Abbotsford pay taxes to the provincial and federal governments (not to the City) for the provision of these services.

As the City does not have the mandate, authority or funding to provide these services, the City of Abbotsford has filed an appeal to the Court to have these conditions removed. In the meantime, the City of Abbotsford continues to be in contact with BC Housing and community outreach partners to ensure they continue their work in addressing the housing, health care and harm reduction needs of the people in

the encampment. Unfortunately, we understand that many individuals have chosen not to accept the services they

asIN jfxdy hF ik bhuq sfry lokF dy istI hfl ivKy kYNp bfry svfl hn aqy akqUbr ivwc sfnUM pRfpq hoey adflqI PYsly qoN bfad

have offered.

The City is also taking steps to ensure that the encampment located at City Hall does not expand, which is also a condition contained within the court decision. In ensuring this court ordered condition is met, the City recently provided notice of removal to 10 individuals who arrived at the encampment after the Court issued its decision. On Nov. 19, these individuals were removed from the encampment, and several media outlets covered this action by the City.

All of us on Abbotsford City Council agree that homelessness is one of the most challenging issues we face as a community and around the Council table. As community leaders, we absolutely understand and fully support ensuring that appropriate social services are made available for vulnerable members of our community. However, as a City Council we also have a duty to ensure that our residents are not unfairly paying to provide services that are the responsibility of other levels of government, and for which they have already paid taxes to those senior levels of government to receive.

Final update on human avian influenza case in B.C.

An extensive, multi-agency public-health investigation into an avian influenza case involving a B.C. teenager has identified no additional cases nor evidence of human-tohuman transmission.

The goals of the investigation were to identify any contacts who may have had exposure to the teenager, determine the source of exposure, and ensure that there was no risk of new infections from either the teenager or animal sources. The investigation also included testing of household pets, birds and other animals from nearby premises, and environmental (soil, water) testing.

To date, all tests on humans, animals and environmental samples related to this investigation have been negative for influenza H5. While it is reassuring that no further cases have been identified, officials have also not been able to definitively identify the source of the young person’s infection.

The investigation has determined the teenager was infected with the same strain of influenza H5N1 currently circulating in wild birds and poultry in B.C. (Clade 2.3.4.4b, Genotype D1.1). Advanced testing at the BC Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC) Public Health Laboratory determined the whole genome sequence of the virus most closely matches that of wild birds found in the Fraser Valley area in October and was not directly related to outbreaks at poultry farms in B.C.

“Our thoughts continue to be with this young person as they remain in critical condition, and their family,” said Dr. Bonnie Henry, B.C.’s provincial health officer. “I am confident in the extensive public health investigation that was led by the Fraser Health team in partnership with the BCCDC Public Health Laboratory, our partners at BC Children’s Hospital and the chief veterinary officer. Though we have not been able to determine definitively the source of exposure, we were able to rule out many potential risks and ensure there are no further cases related to this young person.”

While this was the first case of H5N1 in a person in B.C. and the first acquired in Canada, there have been a small number of human cases in the U.S. this year, including one reported in a child in California last week.

Health, animal and environmental partners across B.C. have also been working together and with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and other national and U.S. partners to respond to the increased detections of H5N1 avian influenza in poultry farms and wild birds in the province since early October.

Prevention measures

To protect yourself against avian influenza, the following prevention measures are recommended:

Stay up to date on all immunizations, especially the seasonal flu vaccine.

Do not touch sick or dead animals or their droppings and do not bring sick wild animals into your home.

Keep your pets away from sick or dead animals and their feces.

Report dead or sick birds or animals.

For poultry or livestock, contact the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) Animal Health office: https://inspection.canada.ca/en/ about-cfia/contact-cfia-office-telephone

For pets, contact your veterinarian or call the BC Animal Health Centre at 1 800 661-9903

For wild birds, contact the BC Wild Bird Mortality Line: 1 866 431-2473

For wild mammals, contact the BC Wildlife Health Program: 1 250 751-7246

If you have been exposed to sick or dead birds or animals or work on farm where avian influenza has been detected, watch for symptoms of influenza-like illness. If you get symptoms within 10 days after exposure to sick or dead animals, tell your health-care provider that you have been in contact with sick animals and are concerned about avian influenza. This will help them give you appropriate advice on testing and treatment. Stay home and away from others while you have symptoms. About avian influenza

Avian influenza viruses occur naturally among wild aquatic birds and spread easily from bird to bird. Since 2022, there has been unprecedented global spread of avian influenza caused by the H5N1 virus. While it mostly affects birds, it can affect other animals too. In addition to cases reported in wild birds and poultry farms in North America, the virus has infected mammals including dairy cattle, foxes, skunks, marine mammals and more. There have also been isolated reports of H5N1 detections in goats and in a pig in the United States. There have also been reports of cases in humans, notably following exposure to infected animals.

In B.C., H5N1 has been detected in wild birds, on poultry farms and among small wild mammals, including skunks and foxes. Most cases have been reported during migration season when wild birds carrying the virus are in high numbers in B.C. Since the beginning of October 2024, at least 54 infected poultry premises have been identified in B.C., along with numerous wild birds testing positive.

In B.C. and Canada, there have been no cases reported in dairy cattle and no evidence of avian influenza in samples of milk.

Influenza viruses are adaptable and can change when strains from humans or different animal species mix and exchange genetic information. Avian influenza could become more serious if the virus develops the ability to transmit from person to person, with potential for human-tohuman transmission.

Be cautious about what you bring to an end or the way in which you go about winding something up, especially if you think it will open up more choices. The situation will have to be revisited mid April next year. Other things would have changed by then. It might be wiser to let things take their own course right now.

Something that started off as a small thing when it comes to helping out somebody else that seems to keep on growing would be best dealt with now, especially if it is turning into a habit or interfering with your regular routines. It has probably taught you to take more notice of what is important to you, rather than getting distracted..

New directions involving other people can be smooth running if things are done their way. While there might be a lot in common, their determination might clash with yours. If you have been attempting to come to an agreement, this might need to be left for now and revisited mid April as things will likely have changed by then.

Something is winding up on a personal level perhaps in ways you were not expecting that is generating thought of all sorts of possibilities in the long term. Someone can play a powerful role here. However it is to eventually settle will not become evident until January to April next year. Meanwhile just go with the flow.

You can have success in getting something out of the way that has been on your mind for a while but the energy just hasn’t been there. Not that you will feel overly energised just yet. It is more a realisation that time is running out. You know you will feel a lot better once this is done, especially if others have a good view of it.

Something needs to be put into place once and for all so that you know what needs to be spent rather than other things coming up all the time. Whatever you do now can create changes that may not be fully implemented until next year, between January and April. You need to be straightforward and practical with any discussions.

There can be a willingness to let something go that has been a personal priority but doesn’t fit well with someone else. It will be more important to establish underlying stability in situations involving others. This can be temporary as other opportunities to focus on your wishes will arise next year from January to April. Patience can pay off.

The New Moon this week occurs in your sign providing you with the opportunity to generate changed directions on a personal level. Anything that has not been heading in the direction you had hoped might be better let go right now. Becoming more practical can appeal to you, especially when it comes to stability with finances.

There can be new directions building up in the background that will provide the opportunity to put a stable foundation in place. This is likely tied into the decisions of somebody else and something may need to wind up so they can take the next step. There could be more than one stage of development attached to this as well.

It might be time to develop a new attitude when it comes to commitments or obligations in your life, especially if they affect your finances. If you have accepted things without thinking, you could recognise this has to stop. This can only happen when you take the time to analyse what you can realistically manage and follow through.

Changes in somebody else’s life may make you realise things are moving on and it will not be the same for you. This is encouraging you to think about what is important to you. It can actually be freeing you up to do so. This is a first stage. New people can come into your life, especially from January to April next year.

New possibilities in the long term can begin to feel more probable or realistic. This could leave behind a level of personal doubt or insecurity. This can be tied to you becoming more aware of what has been important for a long time but needs to be modified in some way for the future. The second stage can occur January to April next year.

Regain control of your finances this year

When people struggle to pay off their debt, it can add a lot of stress to their lives. Financial stress can even lead to health problems, including everything from insomnia to more serious issues like high blood pressure and depression. If paying down your debt is becoming a challenge, small actions can make a difference.

Assess your debt load and set a timeframe for all your debts

Start by making a list of all your debts. Then, set goals for paying down your debts and track your debt-repayment progress. Prioritize paying down high-interest debts

first. That way, you’ll pay less interest over the term of your loan. If you have multiple high-interest debts, consider consolidating them into a single loan with a lower interest rate. Consolidating your debts means you’ll only have to make one monthly payment rather than pay each one individually.

Review your budget

Review your budget carefully to see where you can cut costs to rebalance your spending to debt-repayment ratio. If you don’t have a budget, take some time to make one. Having a budget that lays out

your income and expenses is an effective way to manage your day-to-day finances. To help you get started, try the Financial Consumer Agency’s online budget planner tool. It will help you identify areas where you can cut expenses to put more money towards paying down your debt.

Seek advice

If you’re struggling to keep up with payments, be proactive and contact your bank or creditor immediately. There could be options available to you. Banks are expected to help individuals who are struggling to pay their mortgages due to exceptional

circumstances such as high household debt, increased cost of living and rapid increases in interest rates. For example, they could offer you a lower interest rate on your debt, extend your payments over a longer period and reduce your minimum monthly payment amount.

You may also consider consulting a financial advisor or credit counsellor for guidance. If you are considering that option, make sure that the agency is in good standing with a provincial or national association. And remember that no reputable credit counselling agency will charge you for the first meeting.

Permit granted for Cariboo Gold Mine

A provincial statutory decision-maker has granted Barkerville Gold Mines, owned by Osisko Development Corporation, an operating permit under the Mines Act for its Cariboo Gold Mine in Wells, in eastcentral B.C.

The permitting process for the project was completed in 13 months, following a rigorous technical review conducted by a qualified team of technical experts in collaboration with First Nations.

Cariboo Gold is an underground mine that will employ approximately 634 people during construction and see an initial investment of $137 million and another $918 million over the life of the mine. The project will have the capacity to process approximately 1.1 million tonnes per year of gold-bearing ore. It will include underground mining over 16 years, ore milling at the Quesnel River mine, approximately 58 kilometres southeast of Quesnel, storage of waste rock at the Bonanza Ledge Mine near Barkerville, and a transmission line from the Quesnel area to the mine.

A permit under the Environmental Management Act (EMA) for the Cariboo

Gold project is under consideration with a statutory decision-maker in the Ministry of Environment and Parks. A decision is expected in the coming weeks. An EMA permit would provide authority for the company to introduce wastes into the environment while protecting public health and the environment. The EMA regulates industrial and municipal waste discharge, pollution, hazardous waste and contaminated site remediation. This is the first project entirely assessed under the new 2018 Environmental Assessment Act that has been granted a Mines Act permit. The Environmental Assessment Office completed its assessment of the mine project with extensive consultation from experts, First Nations, including the Lhtako Dené, Xatśūll, and Williams Lake First Nations, government agencies and the public.

The Environmental Assessment Act was modernized to enhance public confidence, transparency and meaningful participation, to advance reconciliation with First Nations, and to deliver stronger environmental protections, while supporting sustainable economic development.

Delegation heads to California to promote, grow B.C.’s film, TV industry

A delegation from British Columbia is arriving in Los Angeles to highlight the advantages of partnering with the film and TV industry on Canada’s West Coast and to explore the benefits of staging productions in B.C.

“We want to bring the biggest productions we can to B.C. so the talented and hard-working people in the industry can continue to find good work with a good paycheque,” said Spencer Chandra Herbert, Minister of Tourism, Arts, Culture and Sport. “When productions choose to film in our province, they bring opportuni-

ties for skilled workers and businesses that strengthen our economy.”

The mission, led by Screen BC, will include Chandra Herbert, Nina Krieger, Parliamentary Secretary for Arts and Film, and Brenda Bailey, Minister of Finance. This is an opportunity to highlight B.C.’s commitment to working with the motionpicture sector and position the province as a top location for film and television production.

“B.C.’s film industry is essential to our economy and our communities,” Bailey said. “We are getting to work right away to ensure the film industry continues to

choose B.C. as a leading destination for filmmakers worldwide.”

The timing of this visit is crucial as it provides studio decision-makers with the critical information about the value of filming in B.C. they need for their production planning. The Province will continue to look for ways to enhance B.C.’s competitiveness, such as through available tax incentives.

With the province’s highly skilled crews, extensive infrastructure and natural scenery, B.C. wants to maintain competitiveness in attracting high-profile productions, such as The Last of Us Season 2 and

Shōgun Season 1, which were filmed in dozens of locations throughout B.C., creating economic benefits for workers and local economies.

British Columbia is one of North America’s largest motion-picture hubs. According to studies commissioned by the sector, the industry is supporting more than 47,500 jobs and contributed $3.3 billion to B.C.’s total GDP in 2022. With approximately 80% of production activity in B.C. being foreign service work, strong international relationships are vital to sustaining and growing the film and TV industry.

How to plan a winter holiday for less

Are you already starting to feel the winter blues? Then you may be in need of a winter getaway. But, if you’re worried about being able to afford a holiday right now, here are four tips from Air Canada Vacations that can help you plan an affordable holiday.

Book early

Booking as early as possible has two key advantages. For one, you’ll have the best selection of destinations and travel options before the prime spots get booked up. Plus, the further in advance that you book your holiday, the better the deals you’ll likely find. Now, for example, is a great time to find deals for a European holiday in winter, spring and even beyond. Once your travel and accommodations are confirmed, look into pre-booking tickets for any bucket-list excursions to avoid disappointment.

Consider different options

It’s peak season for beach resorts and ski hills so unless you already have an early bird deal or get lucky with a last-minute booking, you may be priced out of those destinations. But that doesn’t mean you can’t get out of town for a bit. Consider more affordable temperate locations where you can shed your winter clothes

while exploring the local cuisine, culture and attractions.

Comparison shop

Think about the type of consumer you are: do you like to choose things a la carte, or do you prefer package deals? You can play around with different flight times, the calibre of accommodations, and the excursions and attractions you’re interested in to find an itinerary that fits your budget. Or you can search through various curated self-guided or guided tour packages that take care of the planning for you. Pre-set packages often build in volume discounts so you can see and do more for less.

Use your points

Most of us have a variety of rewards cards or apps that we use for different purchases. With some, you can use the points to book everything from flights and hotels, to complete resort stays, including travel.

Tips on how to help save for your winter getaway

With snow and frosty temperatures in the weather forecast, many Canadians are dreaming about a warm-weather winter escape. However, the rising cost of living and higher interest rates make it challenging to budget for vacations. Here are some tips to help you plan and save for your next adventure:

Create a travel fund

Budgeting for a vacation can be difficult, but having a savings goal helps. Start by listing all your expenses and income to identify areas where you may be able to cut back and save. Try using a money management tool, such as TD’s MySpend, that can help you keep track of your spending. For example, if your anticipated trip will cost $4,000 and you have a year to save, the amount that you should consider setting aside is about $330 per month. Consider opening a dedicated savings account for your vacation and use a preauthorized transfer service to automate your savings. Continue saving even after booking to help cover last-minute changes or spontaneous activities.

Search for deals and be flexible

Being flexible with your travel dates and destinations can help save you money. The Christmas holiday and school spring break periods are the priciest times to book. Research the more affordable periods of the season for your desired destination. If your top choice is too expensive, consider other destinations that may better fit your budget. Think about all-inclusive pack-

ages that cover food, drinks and lodging. If travelling with family or friends, try to determine which costs can be shared with them.

Leverage travel points

If you are a travel credit card holder, you could redeem your travel points you earned for flights, hotels and other travelrelated expenses, which could help reduce your vacation costs. Remember to be cautious of vacation scams and only book through trustworthy sites.

Factor in all costs

Consider all potential costs, including activities, souvenirs and other expenses like service tips, visas and pet sitters if you need. If you’re planning an all-inclusive vacation, remember to account for incidentals, such as excursions and souvenirs. Don’t forget travel and medical insurance, and seriously consider including trip cancellation coverage.

Planning a winter getaway can be costly and stressful but with careful budgeting and the right tools, your dream vacation can become a reality.
