The Salvation Army launches the Iconic Red Kettle Christmas Campaign $150,000 Goal Set for Abbotsford/Mission

The Salvation Army –Abbotsford/ Mission will officially launch its 2024 Christmas Kettle Campaign on Friday, November 29th, its largest fundraising drive of the year. With a goal for Abbotsford/Mission of $150,000, the Christmas Kettle Campaign will enable our local Salvation Army unit to provide practical assistance to individuals and families who have met with hard times. All of the funds raised will support the programs and services offered at the Centre of Hope on Gladys Avenue.

“We are excited to invite the communities of Abbotsford and Mission to participate in this year’s campaign in a fun and meaningful way, comments Kim Hissink, Fundraising Coordinator. Ring the bells for a day with your friends, family, co-workers, church groups, sport teams, etc. Everyone and all ages are welcome. By issuing a challenge to others – we are hopeful that we will fill the remaining 200+ shifts available November 29th December 24th. Sign up is easy, simply put the link in your browser and choose a location and shifts - https://www.signupgenius.com/ tabs/33772db01a7cae9c53-kettle#/ We are so grateful to all that have signed up to date as well as all of our community partners, we could not do this without you!

One of our long-time annual supporters states, “The Salvation Army is often the first line of support in our community for disaster response and is always present to help the less fortunate in Abbotsford.

The Abbotsford-Sumas Rotary Club is proud to help man the Christmas kettles to support the great work done by the Salvation Army. “

There are 15 kettle locations this year - 12 in Abbotsford and 3 in Mission, hosted by wonderful kettle hosts. The Angel Tree will

once again be in Sevenoaks Shopping Centre from November 29th December

15th allowing the community to choose tags and shop for the wish lists of local children. Tip Tap technology is back, making it convenient to donate by debit or credit card and at the kettle.

The demand for food and practical assistance is increasing. The Salvation Army in Abbotsford/Mission has provided over 600 hampers to date by partnering with the Abbotsford School District over the summer months and providing daily hampers for families and individuals through the Emergency Pantry at the Centre of Hope.

“The Salvation Army has been serving the community of Abbotsford for over 38 years” say Majors Ruth & Ian Gillingham. “This year is unlike any other as we have worked alongside our community partners to care for and meet the needs of so many. This Christmas season, The Salvation Army will continue to be mobilized to share hope wherever there is hardship due to the generosity of our donors and volunteers.”

Abbotsford Regional Hospital Receives Generous Donation Enhancing Respiratory

We are delighted to announce that TB Vets has funded the acquisition of a crucial cough assist machine for the respiratory department at Abbotsford Regional Hospital (ARH). This vital equipment will significantly improve the quality of care for patients who are unable to cough and effectively clear secretions due to neuro-

muscular disorders, spinal cord injuries, or severe fatigue associated with lung disease.

The cough assist is a game-changing tool, designed to help patients who struggle with natural coughing, ensuring that secretions are cleared effectively and reducing the risk of respiratory complications.

Care

Quote. “This donation is a transformative addition to our respiratory care capabilities,” said ??? . “It will enhance the wellbeing of our patients, providing them with the support they need to manage their conditions more effectively”.

The hospital Foundation extends its heartfelt gratitude to TB Vets for their

immense generosity and commitment to improving patient care. This donation not only represents a significant advancement in our respiratory care but also exemplifies the power of community support and philanthropy.

New funding supports Indigenous food sovereignty, security

Indigenous farmers, communities and governments can access new funding to help strengthen food security and sovereignty, and increase Indigenous participation in B.C.’s agriculture and food sectors.

“The new Indigenous Food Pathways program will help ensure that Indigenous Peoples, entrepreneurs and communities in British Columbia have the resources they need to succeed and grow in the sector,” said Lawrence MacAulay, federal Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food. “Our government is so pleased to partner with the Government of British Columbia, through our Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership agreement, to deliver this important program.”

The new Indigenous Food Pathways program is supporting new projects, enhancing existing programs and improving Indigenous-led operations in the agriculture and food sector. Projects can receive as much as $200,000 from the governments of Canada and British Columbia.

“Supporting Indigenous communities as they work toward food security, food sovereignty and economic development goals is important, and we will continue to work together to get the support and tools they require to be successful,” said Lana Popham, B.C. Minister of Agriculture and Food. “This program will help build more resilient food systems in Indigenous communities and

support growing Indigenous entrepreneurs, businesses and economies around B.C.”

The program could support food and agriculture through projects such as microgrants to Indigenous applicants interested in developing food and agriculture businesses, expanding successful Indigenous-led training programs and other initiatives to address gaps affecting Indigenous participation in the food and agriculture sectors.

The Province is also launching a free service to support Indigenous farmers, communities and governments in finding information and resources to start or expand work toward food security, food sovereignty and participation in the food and agriculture sectors.

The B.C. Indigenous Pathfinder Service will connect people to existing programs, services and funding opportunities to help Indigenous-led businesses and projects meet their goals for success with food sovereignty and food security.

Funding for the Indigenous Food Pathways program and B.C. Indigenous Pathfinder Service is provided through the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership, a five-year (April 1, 2023, until March 31, 2028), $3.5-billion investment by federal, provincial and territorial governments to strengthen the competitiveness, innovation and resilience of the agriculture, agri-food and agriculture‐based products sector.

2025 Fiat 500e Review: “Fabulously Chic” Italian EV Shines!

The new 2025 Fiat 500e is an all-new (To North America) electric -only version of Fiat’s iconic Cinquecento. a tiny four-seater that has been around since the 1950s. Fiat and its parent company Stellantis say the cute lovable retro- styled two-door car is “born to deliver mobility, joy, and style in a BEV” (Battery Electric Vehicle.)

And that is a pretty accurate statement. Exterior wise, there are the same adorable Cinquecento 500 curves and rounded shape that has been redesigned to look more refined and up tp date. The key elements ae still there. The unique side profile, cheeky grill, high curved greenhouse, and the truncated rump along with new front and rear LED lighting, and modern e-latch aero door handles.

The Fiat 500e powered by a 42-kWh lithium-ion battery system paired with single electric motor producing 117 hp and 162 lb-ft of torque, enabling a not too shabby accelerating time of 0- 100 km/h in 8.7 seconds. In addition, there are three selectable drive modes.

As for electric driving range, Stellantis says the all - electric 500e can drive do up to 227 kilometres on a full charge. Not a lot by current EV standards, but enough for daily commuting. In terms of charging, the Fiat 500e features 85 kW of fast-charge capability with 50 kilometres available after five minutes of charging; and 80-per-cent battery capacity in a quick 35 minutes. With a Level 2 (11-kW) charger, Stellantis

claims a charge time of six hours (from zero to 100 per cent).

The e500 versions for sale in Canada now include the cool, as tested (RED) Edition, a collaboration between with (RED), an organization founded by rock music legend U2’s Bono and activist Bobby Shriver in 2006, to fight AIDS. The (RED) Edition, comes with red-painted exterior mirrors, LED headlamps, body colored grille details. The care sits on snazzy 17-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels. Interior details included the beautiful red dashboard, 500e details and dark contrast seats. Available later in the year, there will be an upmarket 2025 La Prima Edition with more premium interior and exterior equipment, plus advanced Level 2 Active driving features.

In terms of pricing, the 500e (RED) has an MRSP of $39,995, plus $2,095 destination. Pricing for the 2025 500e La Prima will start at $47,190 The 500e qualifies for the $5,000 federal rebate as well as provincial EV rebates in participating provinces.

The tiny 500e cabin is thing of beauty and inspirational design, the iconic retro dashboard insert, rounded cluster and two-spoke steering wheel are classic touches. These details are nicely offset with modern tech features such as the 10.25-inch centre screen with Uconnect 5 services combined with a seven-inch digital cluster. Creature comforts abound such as electric windows, power steering and in- car con-

nectivity. The materials look premium and well - finished and there is feeling of quality throughout the cabin. I love the simple door release buttons and wish every car had them.

Front occupant comfort is good with firm supporting seats. The rear seats however are tiny. More suitable for kids – I would not like to be an adult cramped back there for long rides! Storage is tight, although improved from previous models with a few more cubbyholes and door storage.

On the road, the 500e is quite enjoyable with great reflexes and handling. The steering is well modulated and

Sherpa mode, meanwhile, amps up energy efficiency to maximum for low battery level levels. Sherpa mode also reduces maximum speed to 80 km/h and limits power to 57 kW from 87 kW to conserve electric charge and driving range.

Ther are a few downsides. The 500e is small with a limited back seat and cargo room, although it is a great city car. The range is also restricted – by the need to have smaller battery. The car can be expensive, but it is an iconic premium vehicle in its sector. The positives outweigh all, however. I think its great!

provides good feedback. The 500e is porky at just over 1,361 kilograms with the battery pack at 295 kg alone. But this does not affect performance which proved to be crisp and athletic. Its satisfyingly fast off the line too.

In addition, there are three drive modes. Normal mode, Range mode and the intriguingly named “Sherpa” mode, Range operates the one-pedaldrive function, optimizing regenerative braking energy off the accelerator.

With its short wheelbase, and sporty demeanour the 500e is a composed fun to drive car. A unique extremely cool alternative to those looking for a commuter EV car, which is both stylish, unique, and premium. You also get that distinct Italian styling and heritage included. Highly Recommended.

2024 Fiat 500Ee. Priced from: $39,995, plus $2,095 destination.

City of Abbotsford launching curbside glass collection in 2025

The City of Abbotsford is pleased to announce glass collection will be added to the curbside waste program starting in mid-2025. The new initiative will make it easier for households to recycle glass, by allowing empty glass jars and bottles to be placed curbside in a separate bin, alongside other recyclables.

Introducing glass recycling as a separate stream of the curbside program will help to reduce contamination in blue carts and make collection safer for those handling the materials. Glass collection will also contribute to sustainable waste management efforts and bring the City of Abbotsford closer to our waste diversion goals.

Well Pump Installation and Service

• Irrigation Installation

• Post Pounding

• Drip and Sprinkler Systems

• Ditch Digging and Cleaning

• Farm Drains

• waste water treatment

Households who currently receive City waste collection services will receive a new container specifically designed for glass collection, along with detailed program information in the spring. Glass will be collected every two weeks, on the same schedule as regular recycling. Glass bottles and jars will also continue to be accepted at the recycling depot.

More information on the collection start date, container delivery schedule, and additional guidelines will be provided to Abbotsford households in the coming months and will be available at www. abbotsford.ca/waste.

BC Conservatives demand that BC Ferries reinstate community advisory committees

British Columbia’s official opposition is demanding that BC Ferries Corporation reinstate the 13 volunteer coastal citizen advisory committees that it fired last week over a conference call. “BC Ferries is playing Grinch this Christmas – firing 13 volunteer panels with 30 years of service,” said Harman Bhangu, MLA for LangleyAbbotsford and BC Conservative Transportation critic. In a letter to BC Ferries board chair Joy MacPhail and CEO Nicholas Jimenez, Bhangu demanded that they meet with MLAs representing the coastal communities silenced and ignored by the corporation’s high-handed move. “I ask you to meet with us to outline your plan for the immediate reinstatement of these volunteers,” Bhangu wrote “as well as your plan to involve coastal communities more robustly in discussions relating to changes forthcoming to the services BC Ferries provides them.” “To fire the volunteers tasked with providing you feedback and information from coastal communities, while scaremongering about 30 per cent fare increases, is a slap in the face to the people on the coast who depend on you,”

Bhangu wrote. “Jeremy Valeriote and Rob Botterell and the Greens have been asleep at the switch on this issue,” said Anna Kindy, MLA for North Island. “From Bowen to Salt Spring to Saanich, the silence is deafening. Maybe their unelected leader is afraid of offending the unelected board chair of BC Ferries.” Brennan Day, MLA for Courtenay-Comox called attention to the silence of NDP MLAs on the issue. He called on them to stand up for coastal communities. “We have heard nothing from Dana Lajeunesse, Debra Toporowski, Josie Osborne, Sheila Malcolmson, Randene Neill, or Tamara Davidson,” said Day. “These so-called representatives are taking their marching orders from Joy MacPhail in the corner office in Victoria.” If you live on an island community or a coastal community, in Chemanius, on Penelakut, on Thetis, on Denman or Hornby, on Gabriola, Gambier, Keats, or Texada, in Prince Rupert, Lemtu, Bella Coola, Ocean Falls, or on Haida Gwaii, the only MLAs who will stand up to BC Ferries and fight for you are the BC Conservative MLAs.”

Prospera Credit Union's Youth Angel Tree Project Brightens

Christmas for Local Youth

The 13th annual Prospera Credit Union Youth Angel Tree Project is once again collecting Christmas gifts to brighten the holiday season for local youth facing challenging times. This heartwarming initiative is run in collaboration with the Archway Youth Resource Centre, which offers support services, street outreach, and crisis interventions for youth and families.

"Prospera's generosity through the Angel Tree Project has been truly amazing every Christmas! Their support has made a significant impact on our youth and families over the past 13 years," said Brandy Sundstrom, a youth worker at Archway. Barb Slack, the Abbotsford Branch Manager at Prospera, shared that the staff and members eagerly anticipate the Angel Tree Program each year.

“Every year, we are honoured to support local kids who are facing tough times. This initiative is a wonderful chance for the community to share the love and make Christmas special for these youth,” said Slack.

Sundstrom highlighted the difficulties faced by the youth during the holiday season. “Some of our youth receiving gifts are unhoused or couch-surfing, others are struggling with day-today survival and don’t have family networks to rely on for emotional support.” Community members can choose from about 70 tags at Prospera’s two Abbotsford branches, each tag containing personalized gift sug-

gestions for local youth. The gift ideas range from shoes, socks, and clothes to grocery store gift cards, household items, and books.

“Many of our youth are very alone and miss out on Christmas dinners, family gatherings, or presents under a tree. They are deeply touched that a complete stranger has gone out of their way to get them a personalized gift. We are showing them that the community cares about them and that they have not been forgotten,” said Sundstrom.

Once the new gifts are brought back, Prospera staff assemble and wrap

them, and Archway Youth Workers deliver the gifts to the recipients.

"It never gets old seeing the youth light up with excitement when our team delivers their gifts," said Sundstrom. "We want to extend a huge THANK YOU to Prospera and everyone spreading joy this Christmas season! These youth often feel alone but this initiative provides more than just gifts; it brings joy, comfort, and a sense of belonging to the community."

Community members wishing to participate can pick up a tag at one of the two Prospera branches in Abbotsford –34630 DeLair Rd., and the West Oaks branch at 32700 South Fraser Way. Gifts must be returned to Prospera by December 13th. local banking means more and is committed to investing in local good. Visit prospera.ca to learn more.

Remote First Nations transitioning from diesel to clean energy

Seven remote First Nations in B.C. are getting support from the Province to launch clean-energy projects focused on lowering emissions, helping to save energy costs and protecting the environment.

“We are committed to our goal of reducing diesel consumption in remote off-grid communities by supporting capacity building and forming strategic partnerships,” said Adrian Dix, Minister of Energy and Climate Solutions. “First Nations are leaders in this transition as we work together to build cleaner and healthier communities for people living in B.C.’s most remote places.”

The Province’s Community Energy Diesel Reduction (CEDR) program is providing $7.7 million, administered by the New Relationship Trust, to seven remote First Nations in B.C. to support them in building capacity to reduce reliance on diesel fuel for electricity generation and leading the development of renewable energy projects.

“This flexible-funding program continues to transform energy systems in remote and First Nation communities in B.C.,” said Walter Schneider, CEO, New Relationship Trust. “We are proud to partner in the successful development of decarbonization projects that advance each community’s distinct needs and goals.”

The clean-energy projects vary in size and scope, and include hydro, solar, biomass and hydrogen.

The Gitga’at First Nation is receiving $2 million to develop a small storage, run-of-lake 948-kilowatt hydroelectric generation facility that is expected to displace 95% of diesel usage. The funding will support the community through the pre-construction and construction phases of the hydro project.

The Ulkatcho First Nation will receive $1 million to support the creation of a 3.8-megawatt solar farm that is expected to reduce its community’s diesel usage by as much as 64%.

“Ulkatcho Energy Corporation’s solar farm project marks a new path for Ulkatcho, displacing a significant amount of diesel use in the community, while creating lasting economic and environmental benefits,” said Stephen James, CEO, Ulkatcho Group of Companies. “New Relationship Trust has been a valued partner for this initiative since early planning stages supporting engineering and design, BC Hydro studies, project management, market engagement, pre-construction activities and more.”

The Uchucklesaht Tribe Government is receiving approximately $2.8 million to develop a battery energystorage system that is essential for the construction of a 750-kilowatt solarpower system and a 250-kilowatt runof river hydro-power system to remove more than 90% of future demand for diesel in its village.

Other funding highlights include:

The Dease River First Nation will benefit from displacing the majority of its diesel usage with approximately

$930,000 in support of a 550-kilowatt run-of-river hydro project in Good Hope Lake.

Heiltsuk First Nation is receiving $200,000 for a pre-feasibility study on the viability of producing hydrogen through electrolysis to reduce its community’s reliance on diesel.

Old Masset village council will receive $600,000 to install a biomass heating system for its local hospital and health centre.

The Tahltan Nation will use $200,000 to complete a pilot project to install a small-scale solar-power system and create opportunities for learning, skills development and community empowerment.

The CEDR program, which is a part of the Province’s CleanBC Remote Community Energy Strategy, also supports Demand Side Management and Community Energy Planning projects. The funding intake for those streams closed on Nov. 29. 2024. Successful projects will be announced in spring 2025.

Province celebrates innovation, excellence in the public service

Premier David Eby is celebrating employees in the public service who have made distinguished contributions to strengthen communities and improve people’s lives throughout British Columbia.

“The people and teams receiving the Premier’s Awards are doing extraordinary work,” said Premier Eby. “It is my honour to work with people in the public service who are helping us rise to significant challenges like extreme-weather events and climate change, the ongoing need to strengthen our health-care system, to open new opportunities for people and keep our economy moving. At the end of the day, this is about delivering on the priorities of British Columbians.”

Earlier this week, the Premier’s Awards were presented in nine categories: Partnership, Evidence-Based Design, Emerging Leader, Innovation, Leadership, Organizational Excellence, Regional Impact, Legacy and the BC Public Service Hall of Excellence award.

“All of the nominees and award winners demonstrate the drive and courage to innovate and strengthen provincial services and improve opportunities and outcomes for the people of B.C.,” said Brenda Bailey, Minister of Finance. “I want to thank them for choosing to serve this province and for the exceptional value they bring to the work.”

This year’s award winners are:

Canada’s first cervical cancer self-screening program, Ministry of Health

Through several partnerships co-ordinated by multiple health organizations, including the Ministry of Health, B.C. has introduced an at-home cervical cancer screening test. Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women globally and the ability to discreetly self-screen from home has given patients clear results and immediate access to a primary-care provider, if needed.

Evidence-Based Design:

Provincial Court Family Rules, Ministry of Attorney General

The Ministry of Attorney General’s new approach to Provincial Court Family Rules has streamlined and improved court procedures that help families through separation and divorce. As a result of a partnership project with the Provincial Court, family cases now take approximately one-third of the time they took previously.

Emerging Leader:

Kaylee Tower, Ministry of Transportation and Transit (formerly Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure)

Emerging Leader award finalist Kaylee Tower is recognized for her impactful work in emergency management. Her innovative projects, such as post-earthquake damage assessment tools and her leadership in the emergency operations centre, highlight her dedication to improving lives during disasters. Tower’s cultural agility and commitment to wellness make her a standout leader and an ally to Indigenous communities.

Innovation:

Nurses respond to B.C.’s toxic-drug crisis, Ministry of Health (formerly Ministry of Mental Health and Addictions)

In 2020, nurses began prescribing for the treatment of opioid-use disorder following a public health order made in response to B.C.’s toxic-drug crisis. The Ministry of Mental Health and Addictions, Ministry of Health, BC College of Nurses and Midwives, BC Centre on Substance Use, health authorities, nurse leaders and many others came together to support the new approach, which is now a regulated, permanent practice for nurses in B.C. This is a first in Canada that is providing better, equitable access to life-saving medications and treatment and comprehensive care.

Leadership:

Cliff Chapman, Ministry of Forests

Cliff Chapman’s career has spanned more than 20 years, beginning as a junior firefighter in 2001. Chapman has worked his way through almost all levels of operations within the BC Wildfire Service to his current position as director of provincial operations. Chapman‘s dedication to the

people of B.C. and his staff is felt across the province in many facets of his work, including prevention and preparedness, predictive services, advanced planning, cross-jurisdictional integration, staff mental and physical well-being and safety, public safety updates and media availability.

Organizational Excellence:

Natural Resource Ministry Permitting Transformation, Ministry of Water, Land and Resource Stewardship

The Ministry of Water, Land and Resource Stewardship's Natural Resource Ministry Permitting project, has led cross-ministry efforts to simplify and transform the process of natural resource permitting. Using an agile approach to policy that empowered teams to make big changes, they have collaborated to prioritize housing and connectivity files to find solutions to a complex bureaucratic system that was weighed down with significant backlogs.

Regional Impact:

Remote Community Energy Strategy, Ministry of Energy and Climate Solutions (formerly Ministry of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation)

Some of the most beautiful places in British Columbia receive their electricity from large generators that consume 20 million litres of diesel per year, which is bad for the local environment and for climate change. First Nations and BC Hydro are working together to replace diesel generators in remote communities with renewable alternatives, such as solar, wind and small hydro facilities. The historical development of the Province’s electricity grid has favoured the needs of industry and settler communities. The Remote Community Energy Strategy is about helping remote First Nations develop their own sources of renewable energy so that they enjoy the same clean power as someone in Vancouver or Victoria.

Legacy:

Richard Rogers, Ministry of Housing

Richard Rogers, legacy award recipient, has been a leader in transformation of

administrative justice in B.C. through his time with various public bodies, including the Civil Resolution Tribunal and the Residential Tenancy Branch.

Rodney Chapman, Ministry of Transportation and Transit (formerly Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure)

Rodney Chapman has established himself as a knowledge-holder and irreplaceable mentor, lending his expertise to colleagues and major roadway projects throughout B.C. In his 50-year career, he has revolutionized the industry by mitigating risks, guiding internal and external teams, and improving the quality and productivity of services. Chapman has grown from an engineer-in-training to the director of construction and maintenance. He has created a legacy of integrity and compassion in the pursuit of excellence.

BC Public Service Hall of Excellence: Nancy Carter, KC, Ministry of Attorney General

BC Public Service Hall of Excellence inductee Nancy Carter’s leadership and innovation have brought meaningful changes to the legal landscape of British Columbia. Her work has resulted in a number of civil reforms, perhaps most importantly in the area of family justice. As a direct result of Carter’s dedication and passion, B.C. families have the benefit of what is a model of excellence for family justice, both nationally and internationally. Her legacy continues in the imprint she has had on members of the public service who continue to do this work, bringing disciplined policy development, collaboration and engagement.

Susan Kelly, Ministry of Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation

Susan Kelly's 34-year career in the BC Public Service has been dedicated to helping others, leading the way for staff and making each person feel welcomed by taking a community-focused approach to her work. She has always strived to promote positive change for First Nation communities.

The NDP will support small grocers, foster grocery competition and lower food prices with new plan

OTTAWA – On Wednesday, NDP Food Price Inflation critic Alistair MacGregor tabled a bill in parliament to create a National Cooperative Food Strategy, which would give support to small and mediumsized grocers, ramp-up competition, and lower food prices.

“Everyday families are cutting back on the foods they buy and on the activities their kids love, just to get by,” said MacGregor.

“At the same time, grocery chains have been jacking up costs so their CEOs can pad their pockets. For years, the Liberals have watched this happen, letting Canadi-

ans down with their inaction. This needs to change, and we need more options for where people go to get groceries.”

MacGregor’s bill follows the recommendations of the Competition Bureau to create a National Cooperative Food Strategy to establish more food cooperatives in Canada. This would provide for more affordable grocery options and small and medium-sized grocery stores, lowering costs, and increasing the incentive for big-chain CEOs to stop gouging people.

Farm implements driven on roadways must be properly illuminated, marked and visible to 150 metres.

Whistleblower legislation expands to research universities, WorkSafe BC

Employees will benefit from new protections when bringing forward concerns about serious wrongdoing as the scope of the Public Interest Disclosure Act (PIDA) expands to research universities and WorkSafeBC.

“By bringing employees from research universities and WorkSafeBC under the protections of PIDA, we are making sure that employees in the public sector feel safe and are protected should they need to report serious wrongdoing,” said Niki Sharma, Attorney General. “Over the past five years, we have expanded PIDA to ensure that institutions have the framework in place to preserve and uphold integrity and accountability in the public sector.”

PIDA has been implemented using a phased approach since it came into force in December 2019. This marks the final scheduled phase of implementation of the act in the broader public sector. Approximately 320,000 employees across 197 organizations are now covered by the act.

The act protects employees and promotes accountability and transparency by providing a system for employees to report serious wrongdoing to designated officers within their organization or to the Office of the Ombudsperson.

Disclosers and those who participate in PIDA investigations are protected from reprisal. This includes demotion, termination of employment

or other measures that negatively affect their work conditions. The act also ensures that investigations are conducted fairly and promotes transparency by requiring organizations and the ombudsperson to annually report disclosures received and the results of any investigations.

“I have every confidence in the staff at WorkSafeBC, and I admire the work they do to help injured workers,” said Jennifer Whiteside, Minister of Labour. “They deserve to feel safe knowing if they speak up about problems in their workplace they will also be protected, as they should be.”

The Province passed PIDA in 2018 in response to the ombudsperson’s 2017 report, Misfire: The 2012 Ministry of Health Employment Terminations and Related Matters. The report made 41 recommendations that the Province has fully implemented.

The act has been progressively implemented across the public sector since it came into force on Dec. 1, 2019. It applies to individuals in government ministries; independent offices of the legislature; tribunals; Crown corporations; provincial health authorities, Providence Health Care; BC Emergency Health Services (BCEHS); public K-12 schools; some public post-secondary educational institutions (including colleges); and select agencies, boards, and commissions. As of Dec. 1, 2024, it also applies to research universities and WorkSafeBC.

Postal Strike Impacts Direct Mail for local Hospitals

As we enter this magical holiday season, we want to reach out to you about animportant update regarding our fundraising efforts at Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation.

Due to the ongoing postal strike, we have had to suspend our direct mail campaig this year, which typically generates approximately $140,000 in donations during the Christmas season. This revenue is crucial in helping us purchase much needed medical equipment for our hospitals, ensuring we can continue to provide high- quality care to our community.

While we are unable to conduct our direct mail program, there are still several ways to support our hospital foundation and make a difference in the lives of our patients-in-care in the Fraser Valley. You can donate in-person, online through our secure website, or over the phone by calling: 604. 851. 4890.

Every contribution, no matter the amount, will help us continue our mission to enhance healthcare services in your lo-

Cigarette smoke contains over 7,000 chemicals, and smoking can cause serious health problems including cancer, and heart and respiratory diseases. While quitting smoking is hard, it is possible, and help is available. Here are three tips to help you achieve your goal.

Have a plan: Start by creating a quit plan. A plan should include the reasons you want to quit, any concerns you may have, a list of things that could trigger a craving, which tools and techniques you’ll use to cope with cravings and, perhaps most importantly, the date you’re going to quit.

cal community. We understand that this holiday season brings unique challenges, and we deeply appreciate your continued support during this time. Together, we can overcome the impact of the postal strike and ensure our hospitals in the Fraser Valley have the resources they need to serve our community effectively.

Thank you for considering a donation this season. Your generosity truly makes a difference to patients-in-care. Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful holiday season. The Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation Team

Post-election, BC small business confidence below historic average, second lowest in Canada

British Columbia’s small business confidence remains alarmingly low following the recent provincial election, according to the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB)’s latest Business Barometer®. Long-term confidence in the economy is 12% below its historic average, and BC has the second-lowest long-term confidence index in the country.

Adding to the uncertainty, BC has lost 42,000 jobs since April, while many economic forecasts predict the province will experience one of the slowest growth rates in Canada. These factors, combined with recent strikes and the looming threat of US tariffs on Canadian goods, have left small businesses in BC grappling with unprecedented uncertainty. According to CFIB’s Business Barometer®, taxes and regulatory costs are the top cost constraint for 72% of small businesses in the prov-

3 tips to help you quit smoking

When you are struggling to resist a craving, refer to your plan to remind yourself of why you’re quitting and things you can do to help. No two people will have the exact same plan. What worked for someone else may not necessarily be what will work for you. Health Canada has a free online quit plan tool that only takes about 10 minutes to complete.

Use replacement tools: After your last cigarette, you’ll start to feel uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms like feeling restless, difficulty concentrating or sleeping. This is your body responding to low levels of

nicotine, which can all lead back to cravings. But there are tools you can use to help deal with these cravings and effects. There is a wide variety of nicotine replacement therapy options, including nicotine gums, patches, lozenges and inhalers. Other quit aids include the plant-based natural health product called cytisine, and prescription medications like bupropion or varenicline. Research has shown combining certain quit aids, such as a nicotine gum along with a nicotine patch, can nearly triple your chances of quitting.

ince. Meanwhile, lower consumption is the leading limitation on sales growth for half of B.C.’s small businesses, highlighting how high interest rates are suppressing consumer spending and economic activity in a province that already ranks as one of the most indebted in the country.

BC’s small businesses are resilient, but they can’t do it alone,” added Boston. “With so much uncertainty from strikes and the threat of U.S. tariffs on the horizon, we need to do everything we can to keep BC’s economy strong. That starts with policies that make it easier for small businesses to create jobs, invest, and grow.” CFIB is calling on all levels of government to implement measures that reduce taxes, cut red tape, and ease the cost of doing business to restore confidence and strengthen the province’s economic foundations.

Seek out support: While you’re the only one who can make the decision to quit and follow through with it, getting support from those around you can help you succeed. Their support can be as simple as joining you on a walk until your craving passes or, if they smoke, refraining from smoking when they’re with you. You can also seek support from an expert, like a pharmacist or counsellor.

New Farm-to-Table Restaurant Set to Open in Heritage Park

Residents and visitors alike will have a new option for dining at Fraser River Heritage Park as the Sunflower Lodge makes its home in Mission. This change in operation comes as the owners of the treasured Blackberry Kitchen closed their doors late November for a much-deserved retirement. Sunflower Lodge plans to maintain the high standards established by the Blackberry Kitchen while implementing strategic enhancements to their offerings. They plan to introduce produce sourced directly from their certified or-

ganic farm to support a sustainable farmto-table concept.

The operators of the Sunflower Lodge run a successful seasonal dining experience on their farm in Maple Ridge known as the Sunflower Café. Both the Sunflower Café and the Sunflower Lodge are run by the Yellow House Farm Society, a society dedicated to community engagement and healthy eating initiatives. “Mission has come to expect a high standard at the Blackberry Kitchen so we are thrilled that

the new operators will be continuing the tradition of exceptional cuisine and local ingredients with the Sunflower Cafe,” said Mayor Horn on behalf of Council. “We want to encourage our community to visit and help ensure their success.” The Sunflower Lodge will also operate the canteen space for visitors looking for a fresh treat or to-go option for a picnic in the park.

“Sunflower Lodge is honoured to continue the legacy of the beloved local institution, Blackberry Kitchen, and their amazing team,” said Rayne Beveridge, founder

of the Yellow House Farm Society and Sunflower Lodge Director. “At the heart of our concept is the involvement of our certified organic regenerative farm, which will supply premium, locally-sourced produce. This farm-to-table approach not only ensures the highest quality ingredients but also reinforces our commitment to sustainability and the community.

The restaurant will open to the public on Dec. 13.

Dos and don'ts when sharing festive treats with your dog

The holiday season is quickly approaching. Bring on the list-making, gift-giving, party-going time of year. But what would the holidays be without delicious dishes to keep everyone feeling merry and bright? And by everyone, that includes our canine companions, of course.

Check out this list of pup and pet-parentapproved festive foods, as well as those to avoid:

Enjoy pumpkin: Can you even call it a holiday feast without pumpkin? Good news for pups – pumpkin is not off the table for them to enjoy. In fact, pumpkins are a superfood and are full of nutrients. Feeding dogs cooked or plain canned pumpkin can also be beneficial for their digestion

because pumpkin contains fibre – just be sure to serve it free of sugar and spices.

Avoid chocolate: There’s no way to sugarcoat it – chocolate is a no-go for dogs. The presence of both caffeine and a chemical called theobromine make chocolate toxic to dogs because they aren’t able to metabolize them the way that humans can. If ingested, chocolate can lead to a spike in heart rate and blood pressure, as well as vomiting, diarrhea, agitation, seizures and more. Pet parents should then monitor their pup closely and check with a veterinarian.

Enjoy fresh meats: When cooked, fresh meat such as chicken, turkey, pork or beef, can satisfy cravings while also offering pups a nutritious meal that is easy to di-

gest. Pet parents can also choose a kibble made with fresh meats as a convenient option that supports dogs’ overall wellness, such as Now Fresh Good Gravy, which is also enriched with a bone broth coating.

Avoid table scraps: For many reasons, it’s best to skip the table scraps. Not only could an allergen or toxin be present that pet parents may not be aware of, there are several other health risks associated with feeding dogs table scraps, such as digestive issues like vomiting and diarrhea, and even more serious problems like pancreatitis. Plus, giving dogs caloric-dense food can contribute to obesity.

Just like their pet parents, pups deserve to indulge a little over the holidays. But it’s important to ensure that what they eat

leaves them feeling great. Learn more about pet nutrition at nowfresh.com, and always check with a veterinarian about any concerns, especially when introducing new foods.

Top tech gifts for the techie in your life

With technology rapidly evolving, finding the perfect gift for the tech enthusiast in your life is a daunting task – but not impossible. Whether they’re into smart home gadgets, wearable technology or cutting-edge computing, these five tech gift ideas will impress any techie.

AI-powered laptops

For the techie who needs a powerful computing device, an AI-powered laptop is a game-changer. AI PCs, such as those from Intel, use artificial intelligence to make your computer smarter and more efficient, learning from your usage patterns to provide a more personalized experience. With advanced processing power and extended battery life, these computers’ AI capabilities can optimize performance, enhance

security and even assist with creative tasks like photo and video editing.

Smart home devices

Smart home devices are revolutionizing the way we interact with our living spaces. From smart thermostats that learn your heating preferences to smart lights that can be controlled via voice commands, these gadgets offer convenience and energy efficiency. Consider gifting a smart speaker that can act as a central hub for controlling various smart home devices, or a smart security camera that provides peace of mind with real-time monitoring.

Wearable technology

Wearable technology has come a long way from simple fitness trackers. Today’s wear-

ables can monitor a wide range of health metrics, from heart rate to sleep patterns, and even offer features like GPS tracking and mobile payments. A smartwatch is a versatile gift that combines functionality with style, making it perfect for both fitness enthusiasts and busy professionals.

Portable power banks

In our always-connected world, running out of power can be a major inconvenience. Portable power banks are a practical gift that ensures your techie friend’s devices stay charged on-the-go. Look for power banks with high capacity and fast charging capabilities to keep smartphones, tablets and other gadgets powered up throughout the day.

Wireless headphones

Wireless headphones are a must-have for anyone who loves music, podcasts or simply wants to enjoy hands-free calls. With advancements in Bluetooth technology, wireless headphones offer excellent sound quality, long battery life and noisecancelling features. Whether your techie friend prefers over-ear headphones for immersive sound or compact earbuds for portability, there’s a wide range of options to choose from.

Ready to find the perfect gift for the techie in your life? Learn more about the latest advancements in AI-powered laptops and other cutting-edge technologies at intel. com/aipc.

4 things your family and friends won’t want to regift

Regifting holiday presents or other gifts happens more often than people admit, but it can still sting to think your gift wasn’t truly appreciated. With these thoughtful strategies, you can be sure your gifts are cherished and won’t be given away. The perfectly practical

With the rising cost of living, practical gifts can be a real blessing. Instead of guessing what your loved ones need, ask them directly and give them something useful that fits their lifestyle. Whether it’s a gas card for the commuter, warm cozy socks for someone who works outdoors, or a gift card to their favourite cafe for

the coffee or tea lover, practical gifts are always appreciated.

The enticing experience

For the minimalist or adventure-seeker, an experience is the ultimate non-regiftable present. Plus, it’s fun and you can spend some quality time together. Consider tickets to a concert, a day of rock climbing or a fun cooking class. If you’re on a budget, create your own experience, like hosting a movie night with their favourite films or planning a homemade meal featuring their favourite dishes.

The personalized touch

Nothing says “I care” like a personalized gift. Whether it’s a monogrammed item, a custom-made piece of art or a photo book filled with shared memories, a personalized gift is unique to the recipient and unlikely to be passed on.

The kind cause

Donating to a worthy cause, such as one that benefits children through better nutrition, on behalf of someone else is always a meaningful gift, and it won’t be re-gifted. Through World Vision Canada, for example, giving a goat that lives up to 12 years and produces milk daily ensures nourishment for children and offers a sus-

tainable income for their family by selling the surplus, uplifting the entire community. Goats change lives and harvest hope.

Any hectic activity that has just started to You are in a good position to make some final decisions on something you may have first considered late July to mid August. The position of somebody else may be clearer now, particularly if they decide to bring something to an end. If this does happen it can make it easier in some way when it comes to normal routines in life.

Someone else can be very straightforward as to what they either like or expect from you. Be careful you don’t read into this more than is being offered, particularly if there is an expectation for you to take on responsibilities or to put things in place. Make decisions up to late September that will keep you in control of your finances.

604-504-2359 Eqy 604-751-0220

Whatever you had to rethink when it comes to putting things in place since mid August will now allow you to be clear of mind to late September when it comes to something that might have been first discussed late July to mid August. You can now make decisions that please you. Don’t be tempted to spend too much though.

You are in an excellent position to be able to make decisions to late September that will take your life forward. You can feel as though you have greater personal choice or some control at last. There might be a second stage to this from January to April next year and for this reason it could be wise to ensure there is some flexibility.

Whatever financial decisions you may have first considered from late July to mid August can now be looked at more thoroughly, especially in relation to the best actions to take to be able to move forward. You need to be able to satisfy your own priorities, which may not necessarily fit in with the expectations of somebody else.

You are in a good position to come to realisations regarding any situations where you might feel as though you are taking on more than is reasonable on a regular basis. This is more about making decisions to bring matters to an end where commitments attached will have an inhibiting effect on possible future accomplishments.

Focus on anything you are determined to develop more for your own independence in the future. You can realise that contemplation alone will not move things forward. From now to early September you need to look at the commitments that would need to be taken on. Doing this in stages will help you to get used to the changes.

You could come to the realisation, from now to late September, that it is better to scale down ideas you might have had late July to mid August to be able to take these things into the future successfully. Others might have bigger ambitions but you can be happier with small steps, allowing you to have a feeling of better control.

Having absolute confidence about how you stand on any matter will engender respect from others, even though they may not fully agree with you. This could result in clarity when it comes to commitment and support, which may have been an issue from late July to mid August and was left hanging. Be mindful of the obligations you take on.

Something you thought had become evident since mid August where someone else’s decision making is concerned could again become more unknown to late September. It could be that they need to withdraw to make final decisions. These could involve taking your priorities into account as well as generating some sort of pleasure in life.

You are in a position to late September to contemplate future plans and possibilities that you may have wanted from late July to mid August but could not finalise. You have the opportunity to engage with others and get a response. This could also have a lot to do with leaving the past behind up to 20th November so you can move on with a new life direction.

Something that wasn’t made perfectly clear or finalised by somebody else between late July and mid August can now return to late September where final decisions need to be made by them. It can be up to you to ensure they do not avoid responsibilities that could leave you with too much to get properly organised or put into place.
