“For the Liberals, it’s about power, not about people” CONTINUED FROM 1 economic benefits of what is among the most prosperous, well-endowed provinces in the confederation. Our resources are unparalleled, our intellectual capacity with our postsecondary institutions is among the best in the country if not North America and we have a diverse population that allows us to be a trading province with almost every corner of the globe.” He added: “With all of those assets, I don’t want to disrespect my opponents too much, but the economy runs itself and governments oftentimes take too much credit when things are good and take too much criticism when things are bad. I believe in markets. I have been a student of economic policy. I’ve worked in economic development and mostly in resource industries most of my life either in government or outside of government and I believe that if you speak honestly to people about the economy and how we want it to grow as New Democrats and Liberals and Conservatives alike we all want to see prosperity in our communities – I think if we just speak honestly to people about our vision for a strong British Columbia, we will be successful.” Horgan bluntly pointed out:

“And I think where we failed last time was we didn’t highlight the shortcomings of their economic agenda and how it was focussed on benefiting the wealthy and the well-connected and not spreading the economic benefits of what is among the most prosperous, wellendowed provinces in the confederation.” “We didn’t make that case last time. We talked about everything and nothing at the same time. Our campaign was about a platform that was six inches thick that people never even cracked open. So we need to be better in the messaging of what we want to do and we need to make sure those messages resonate with people in their homes.” He said the issue of “affordability” was “critical.” He added: “Hydro rates are going up. ICBC rates are going up. Everything that the government touches is going up, except the Liberals will say ‘well we kept taxes low.’ You kept taxes low, but you’ve increased fees. That’s the argument they make; I have to able to counteract that.” Horgan noted: “We’ve won three elections in 80 years – not the best record!” And then he added with a laugh: “And we usually fire the coach after the election. We’ll see how it goes this time.”

HORGAN told me at The VOICE office: “This is my fourth election. I was elected in 2005 for the first time and I have been increasing my votes in my constituency every election and it’s not because my constituents have all become social democrats. It’s because they have the con-

fidence in me that I will be fair and balanced in how I approach issues.” He added: “I think that that is also something that’s missing from our political process in British Columbia. It’s always a clash of ideologies – so that’s how it’s characterized.” He didn’t think that

ideologies were an issue in British Columbia anymore – or in the world. He pointed out: “When the Berlin Wall came down, that kind of ended the Cold War. We have now clashes among countries, but usually that’s based on nationalism, not on ideology.” Horgan said:”So I think that what people want from their government is costeffective delivery of programs and we are not seeing that.” He pointed out the irony of Surrey having 7,000 kids in portable classrooms, while at the same time the government is telling the Vancouver School Board to

close schools. Horgan added: “So how did we get to the point where the two largest cities in British Columbia are basically the Tale of Two Cities – one rapidly growing with families coming and another where families are leaving because they can’t afford to live there, and

that’s having an impact on education, it’s having an impact on health care.” He also lambasted the Liberals for “moving around MLAs as if they were pawns on a chess board and when Marvin Hunt is not going to run in his existing constituency, he’s going to move over somewhere else

3 where it’s safer, and then someone else is going to move over there, and everybody is moving around.” Horgan said: “I was elected in the community that I live in and have lived in for a quarter of a century. I grew up on Vancouver Island. I know my neighbourhood very, very well. And that speaks to my constituents, whether they are right wing or left wing, they feel comfortable that I know what I am talking about when I talk about my community.” He added: “And for the Liberals, it’s about power, not about people. They are moving people around to the best interests of the Liberal Party, not the best interests of Surrey, and I think that is a symbol of how out of touch they’ve become that’s it all about

holding power under any circumstances rather than exercising power in the public interest.” Horgan pointed out how Canadians are giving Prime Minister Justin Trudeau “tremendous latitude” and added: “But that speaks to the generosity of Canadians. We did not like what we had. That was absolutely clear. [Former Prime Minister] Mr. [Stephen] Harper, like him or hate him, was suffering from what the Canadian public said was a government that didn’t reflect their values. Off he went! Mr. Trudeau arrived and has been given so much room to move.” Horgan said: “I think that that’s what British Columbians are yearning for as well and I am hopeful that I can manifest that

down. I want to defeat her government because I think it’s a bad government.” (Incidentally, Horgan, who is of Irish origin, is a big fan of both cricket and field hockey, two sports that are highly popular with South Asians.)

IN BRIEF

Anil Arora appointed Chief Statistician of Canada PRIME Minister Justin Trudeau on Friday announced the appointment of Anil Arora, currently Assistant Deputy Minister, Health Products and Food Branch, Health Canada, as Chief Statistician of Canada, effective Monday, September 19. Trudeau thanked Wayne Smith, Chief Statistician of Canada, for his service to Canadians over the last 35 years. Arora, who earned his Bachelor of Science from the University of Alberta, was Assistant Deputy Minister, Science and Policy Integration, Natural Resources Canada, from 2013 to 2014; Assistant Deputy Minister, Minerals and Metals Sector, Natural Resources Canada, from 2010 to 2013; Assistant Chief Statistician, Social Institutions and Labour Statistics, Statistics Canada, from 2008 to 2010; and Director General, Census Program, Statistics Canada, from 2004 to 2008; Director, Census Management, Statistics Canada, from 2000 to

desire for change in a way that’s not frightening and I don’t mean that as in like they called Adrian “Risky Dix” or he’s “scary” and all this other stuff. Those images are not about policies, not about delivering services; they are about tearing people down. I don’t want to tear Christy Clark

SARBJIT SINGH MATHARU

AMIT GOYAL

Truck driver Sarbjit Singh Matharu, 35, of Winnipeg, has now been charged with four counts of criminal negligence causing death, and one count of negligence causing bodily harm in a fiery 12-vehicle crash on Highway 400 on June 24 in which four people were killed. Ontario Provincial Piolice Sgt. Kerry Schmidt said the crash was “absolutely preventable.” The Toronto Star reported that the crash claimed the lives of three generations of women from the same family: 5year-old Isabela Kuci; her mother, Valbona Vokshi, 35, and grandmother Xhemile, who were headed back home after spending the day at Canada’s Wonderland.

RCMP Constable Amit Goyal of the Osoyoos detachment, who has been on a paid suspension for more than three years now, has had his disciplinary hearing postponed because new evidence in the case apparently would prove to be an embarrassment for the RCMP if it proceeded, the Province newspaper reported. This is the fifth adjournment. Goyal has been accused of misconduct in a 2012 incident in which two vehicles were reported stolen from his Okanagan home and were later found burnt. Goyal was not criminally charged though criminal charges were recommended by investigators. The commanding officer of the RCMP in B.C. is reviewing the file.

BRITISH Columbians are invited to nominate places of historic significance to South Asian Canadians for recognition. Minister of Technology, Innovation and Citizens’ Services Amrik Virk made the announcement on Friday with representatives from the Royal BC Museum, and Centre for Indo Canadian Studies at the University of the Fraser Valley. South Asian Canadians have ancestral connections to India, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal, Pakistan, the Maldives and Sri Lanka. Nominated historic places will be evaluated by a team that includes community and academic expertise. Historic places of the highest significance will be considered for official recognition by the Government of British Columbia and if recognized, will be placed on the BC Register of Historic Places and the Canadian Register of Historic Places: www.historicplaces.ca Final decisions will be made in early 2017. As part of nomination phase, a heritage values

workshop is scheduled for September 27 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Strawberry Hill Library in Surrey. Workshop participants will be asked to share knowledge, stories and what they value about historic places associated with the South Asian Canadian community and Canadians of South Asian ancestry in B.C. More information on this workshop is available online at: http://www.heritagebc.ca In January, the Province formally recognized 21 historic places of significance to Chinese Canadians. Nominations for historic places of significance to Japanese Canadians are being accepted until November 20. Nominations can be made and more information can be made online at: http://www.heritagebc.ca Nominations will be open until November 6. Heritage BC, a not-for-profit, charitable organization, is contracted to administer the nomination process. Its mandate is to support heritage conservation through advocacy, training and skills development, capacity building in heritage planning and funding through the Heritage Legacy Fund. Minister Responsible for Multiculturalism Teresa Wat said: “This announcement is another step in recognizing the cultural diversity and history of British Columbians and their contribution to the social and cultural development of the province.” Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Steve Thomson`added: “By nominating South Asian historic places, all British Columbians can better appreciate the many different cultures that make B.C. what it is today.” Virk said: “South Asian historic places that are nominated will encompass a wide range of cultures which include communities with heritage connected to roots in India, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal, Pakistan, The Maldives and Sri Lanka.” Royal BC Museum, Chief Operating Officer and Deputy CEO, Angela Williams noted: “Being a partner in this project, of identifying places of historic significance for South Asian communities, is just the latest way the Royal BC Museum is helping preserve, explore and share our province’s multicultural heritage.” Chair of the advisory committee and evaluation team for the South Asian Canadian Historic Places Project, Dr. Balbur Gurm added: “Punjabi Canadians have contributed to making B.C. the wonderful province it is today. We are thankful that the government has recognized South Asians as a significant fabric of the Canadian society and the importance of including our history in B.C. This is a wonderful opportunity for the community to recognize historical places of significance from the South Asian perspective.” Quick Facts: * One-quarter of people in B.C. are selfidentified visible minorities, and 7.2% identify as South Asian Canadians. * B.C. is the most ethnically diverse province in Canada and welcomes nearly 40,000 new immigrants as permanent residents every year. * The BC Register of Historic Places lists more than 3,400 historic places that have been formally recognized or protected by the province or a local government. * To nominate a historic place: http://www.heritagebc.ca * Check out B.C.

Surrey RCMP Superintendent Shawn Gill eight-week interactive learning series aims to better foster understanding between Surrey citizens and the RCMP and give the participants a glimpse at the world of policing. In addition, the Surrey RCMP will be continuing a number of youth engagement initiatives in local schools this fall including the WRAP program, Code Blue after school fitness program, “high fives” at elementary schools, and End-Gang Life presentations with CFSEU-BC. These early intervention activities gives kids a chance to talk to police officers in a positive environment and are key to preventing them from being lured into a criminal lifestyle with negative, and potentially fatal, consequences. In October, the Surrey RCMP will also be hosting a large Community Safety Forum that will provide parents with online safety information to keep their children safe on the internet. More information and details will be released on this forum in the coming weeks. “The Surrey RCMP is committed to providing a multifaceted approach to addressing public safety concerns,” says Surrey RCMP Superintendent Shawn Gill, Community Services Officer. “A key component of our strategy is working together with the community on a number of enforcement, prevention, and intervention efforts aimed at supporting children, youth, and families.” This past summer, the Surrey RCMP was involved in a number of community engagement initiatives. Their new Community Engagement Teams attended approximately 50 events and engaged with over 14,000 people at various locations around the city. The teams are part of the detachment’s effort to increase positive connections with young people and families. The Surrey RCMP’s Parent Help Line(604-599-7800) also received 38 calls over the summer from parents with concerns about their children’s involvement in illegal activities. The newly expanded Surrey RCMP Diversity Unit delivered over 40 presentations to over 2,000 residents, many who were refugees or newcomers to Canada. The presentations focused on dispelling any misinformation or misunderstanding about police that may have been acquired from their homeland or peer groups and has led to additional forums being planned in multiple languages. The Surrey RCMP’s Bike Unit was also busy this summer making over 100 arrests for a variety of property and nuisance offences as well as taking those in custody with multiple outstanding warrants. The unit also provided a visual police presence throughout the city and attended a number of community events.

Amrik Virk will run again as BC Liberal candidate for Surrey-Guildford

AMRIK Virk is the official 2017 candidate for the BC Liberals in the redrawn riding of Surrey-Guildford. “I’m thrilled to have another opportunity to represent the residents of Surrey-Guildford,” Virk said on Saturday. “Surrey is a city on the rise. Representing B.C.’s fastest growing urban community in the legislature gives me the opportunity to bring our unique community priorities to light.” Virk serves as Minister of Technology, Innovation and Citizens’ Services. He noted that in his role as minister, he championed the very first BC Tech Summit, which attracted thousands of local and international technology professionals to the province. He has also served as Minister for Advanced Education, spearheading the push for free e-textbooks in university classrooms. Virk says he will continue to advocate for strong economic growth, well-paying jobs, improved transit, and developing strategies for housing affordability. “Together we have accomplished a lot, but we still have more work to do,” he said. “Surrey is not just home to my constituency, but also to my family. I want them to be proud of their community and all it has to offer. I look forward in the coming months to working with our residents on their priorities as I prepare to fight again for the interests of Surrey in Victoria,” Amrik Virk is the official 2017 candidate for Today’s BC Liberals in the redrawn riding of Surrey-Guildford. “I’m thrilled to have another opportunity to represent the residents of Surrey-Guildford,” Virk said. “Surrey is a city on the rise.

Pimm was re-elected to represent the riding of Peace River North in 2013, and served as Minister of Agriculture from June 2013 until April 2014. He quit the B.C. Liberal caucus last August to sit as an independent while the assault case was before the courts. He allegedly assaulted his wife Jody Cooper. Pimm has been charged with one count of assault, which is alleged to have occurred on August 13 in Dawson Creek. His first appearance on this charge is scheduled for Tuesday (September 13). Klein was appointed as a special prosecutor on August 16. At that time, the CJB had not received a Report to Crown Counsel (RTCC) relating to Pimm. Accordingly, the special prosecutor’s mandate was limited to addressing issues that might arise in respect of police-initiated release documents, as well as providing legal advice to the R.C.M.P. as may be required. Since, then, a RTCC was submitted to the Criminal Justice Branch for charge assessment and the special prosecutor’s man-

Free Oral Cancer Screening Clinic by Rotary Club of Surrey-Newton and Pacific Oral Heath Society (POHS) a huge success THE Rotary Club of Surrey-Newton in collaboration with Pacific Oral Heath Society (POHS) offered a free Oral Cancer Screening Clinic on Sunday, September 11 at the new Pacific Oral Health Centre building located at 15850 24th Avenue in Surrey. This free clinic was open to the public and also to patients who pre-registered for a free screening appointment. The goal of the clinic was to help reduce the barriers to oral cancer screening and support the prevention and early detection of oral cancer and

pre-cancer. This event was a great success as over 260 people pre-registered for the clinic and more than 200 patients were examined by the dental team. The data collected by the Pacific Oral Health Society indicated that 20 people were found to be at a high risk of having oral cancer and five cases showed positive signs for oral cancer. This clinic could not have been possible without the generous commitment of the

POHS dental team as they volunteered over S50,000 of their time and services for this clinic to be offered free of charge to the community. The Rotary Club of Surrey-Newton sad they are grateful to the media for the news coverage and possibly saving the lives of 25 individuals who were not aware of being at risk for oral cancer.

More progress in battle to end religious discrimination against Sikhs THE U.S. Army has granted another observant Sikh American soldier a long-term religious accommodation, permitting him to serve with his articles of faith intact. Two other Sikh American soldiers also recently completed basic combat training, further demonstrating that the Sikh articles of faith do not conflict with military service. These victories mark another win from the nation’s largest employer, the Department of Defense. However, the Sikh Coalition organization continues to advocate for the goal of a permanent policy change for all Sikh soldiers, as no one should have to choose between their religion and service to our nation. “The DOD’s case-by-case accommodation process is arbitrary and burdensome, and it must lift its discriminatory ban,” said the Sikh Coalition’s Legal Director Harsimran Kaur on Tuesday. The Sikh Coalition and McDermott Will and Emery sought and received a religious accommodation for Specialist Gurpreet Singh Cheema from the U.S. Army on August 12. He now joins Captain Simratpal Singh, Specialist Harpal Singh, Specialist Kanwar Bir Singh, Private Arjan Singh Ghotra, and Cadet Jaspreet Singh Gill, as the sixth Sikh soldier in 2016 to be granted a religious accommodation to serve in the U.S. Army. Most recently, Specialist Kanwar Bir Singh completed Basic Combat Training at Fort Jackson (SC) on August 11, and Private Arjan Singh Ghotra completed One Station Unit Training at Fort Benning (GA) on September 9. “I am pleased that Specialist Cheema, a native of Bothell in my

Arjan Singh Ghotra congressional district, has been granted a religious accommodation and will be allowed to serve our nation. Sikhs should be able to serve in the military and retain their religious freedoms. I hope the Department of Defense will end its burdensome, case-by-case accommodation process and issue a new policy that treats religious minorities as equals,” said Congresswoman Suzan DelBene, who represents Washington State’s 1st Congressional District.

Chilliwack RCMP arrest South Asian as they shut down alleged dial-adope ring DIPENDRA Varma Bundhoo, 27, of Delta and Chelsea Tara Hagen, 23, of Port Moody face charges after being arrested for drug offences by the RCMP in late August. Chilliwack RCMP announced on Thursday that Bundhoo faces charges for three counts of trafficking in a controlled substance and three counts of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking. He remains in custody pending a court date in late September. Hagen faces charges for two counts of trafficking in a controlled substance and three counts of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking. Hagen was released from custody pending a court appearance in early October. The charges stem from an RCMP dial-adope investigation that was initiated on July 8 after a Chilliwack RCMP Crime Reduction Unit (CRU) officer observed a suspicious transaction occur between Bundhoo and another person behind a building in the 8100-block of Young Road. “Dial-a-dope is a criminal operation where the seller and their customer communicate by phone to arrange a predetermined location to meet for the exchange of illegal drugs,” said Cpl. Mike Rail, RCMP spokeperson. As police in Chilliwack conducted their investigation, they were supported on August 17 by officers from the RCMP E Division Support Services. Over the following 12 days, undercover officers met Bundhoo and Hagen on three occasions in commercial parking lots located around the city where the suspects sold crack cocaine to police. The two suspects were taken into custody by police on August 29 at the site of the third transaction. During the arrest, drugs that police believe to be approximately eight grams of crack cocaine, five grams of methamphetamine, 1.6 grams of heroin containing trace amounts of fentanyl, as well as, cash, a vehicle and evidence linking the suspects to the alleged dial-a-dope operation were seized by RCMP investigators.

British Columbia’s minimum wage increases by 40 cents; critic says such small increases perpetuate working poverty AS had been announced on May 4, the British Columbia government increased the minimum wage on September 15 in the first stage to better reflect the province’s overall economic growth and ensure all workers benefit from B.C.’s thriving job market. The first increase – effective September 15 – was 40 cents and brought the general minimum wage up to $10.85 per hour and the liquor server minimum wage to $9.60. These new rates include the 10 cents scheduled for the 2015 Consumer Price Index (CPI), plus an additional 30 cents. The second increase – effective September 15,

2017 – will be 30 cents plus an amount based on the 2016 CPI (currently estimated to be 10 cents) and will bring the general minimum wage rate to at least $11.25 and the liquor server minimum wage to $10. The 2016 CPI will be available from Statistics Canada by March 2017. The daily rate for live-in home support workers and live-in camp leaders, as well as the monthly rates for resident caretakers and farm worker piece rates (for harvesters of certain fruits and vegetables) will also increase proportionate to the general minimum hourly wage increases on the same dates.

Iglika Ivanova, Senior Economist at the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives – BC Office, said that while it’s better than nothing, this 40-cent minimum wage increase to $10.85 per hour fails to meet the needs of BC’s low-wage workers. She noted: “The majority of low-wage workers work full time, and nearly a third have been in the same job for over three years. We’re not talking about teenagers or casual workers—these are adults struggling to make ends meet with poverty-level wages in one of the most expensive provinces in Canada. “Small minimum wage increases— like the one

we’re seeing today—only perpetuate working poverty. BC should join Alberta and the growing number of US cities and states in raising the minimum wage to $15. Anything less is unacceptable for a supposedly ‘prosperous’ province.” The Province said that a number of factsheets for workers and employers have been updated to reflect the minimum wage increases, and are available on the Employment Standards Branch website, including: * A Minimum Wage Factsheet available in six languages * Minimum Wage – Liquor Server * Commission Sales * Farm Labour Contractors (in 10 languages) * Farm Workers (in 10 languages) * Live-in Support Workers (in English and Filipino) * Guidelines for Motel and Campground Managers and Caretakers * Quick Reference Guide for Employers * Resident Caretakers * Restaurant Employees * Talent Agencies * Domestics Brochure * Guide to Employment Standards * Working in B.C. poster The “Top 10 Things Employers Should Know” video, and the Interpretation Guidelines Manual were also updated on September 15.

Rollerblading robbery suspect arrested SURREY RCMP announced on Thursday that a male suspect has been arrested and charged after he allegedly robbed businesses while wearing rollerblades. Between August 20 and September 4, three robberies occurred where the suspect made his getaway using rollerblades. Surrey RCMP Robbery Unit led the investigation and was able to identify a possible suspect. Follow-up investigation eventually resulted in an arrest and charges being laid. Charged with three counts of Robbery is D a v i d Yasinsky, 30, of Surrey, who was remanded in custody. “Sharp eyed witnesses provided details that helped officers quickly locate a suspect,” said Cpl. Scotty Schumann. “Thanks to those witnesses, the investigation advanced rapidly and serves as good example of cooperation between police and the community.” Two robberies had been reported by Surrey RCMP on September 1: On August 20 at approximately 4:50 p.m., there was a robbery at a bakery in the 15500-block of Fraser Highway. The male suspect who was on rollerblades threatened staff with a knife before robbing the bakery. On August 21 at approximately 8:55 p.m., there was a robbery at a gas station in the 15700-block of Fraser Highway. The suspect threatened the female attendant with a large knife before robbing the store and fleeing the scene northbound on 157th Street on rollerblades.

Jewelry heist at Richmond shopping centre SHORTLY after 4 p.m. on Tuesday (September 13), Richmond RCMP responded to a shopping centre in the 4100-block of Hazelbridge Way for a robbery in progress. A trio of suspects welding hammers entered a jewelry store located on the second floor of the mall and smashed several display cases. The suspects were observed wearing dark clothing and surgical masks. They appeared to be dressed as construction workers. The suspects reportedly fled in a gray GMC Sierra pickup truck. One of the patrol officers located the abandoned vehicle in the 9300-block of Capstan Way. It was on file as being stolen from Surrey. The suspects are still outstanding along with an unspecified amount of jewelry. No injuries were reported but the store staff appeared visibly shaken. Officers with the assistance of the Lower Mainland Air Services helicopter, Air One, scoured the area, but drew a blank. Several of the security personnel from the mall were able to engage the suspects. One of the security personnel managed to disarm a hammer from one of them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Original reports had suggested that shots were fired in the robbery. This was not the case. It is likely that the sound of jewelry cases being smashed were mistaken for gunshots,â&#x20AC;? said Cpl. Dennis Hwang. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Officers from our General Investigative Services Unit have been fully engaged and are following up on several leads. They are currently analyzing surveillance footage in hopes of identifying the suspects. Specialists from the Lower Mainland Integrated Forensic Services Unit have processed the crime scene and are completing their examination on the pickup truck which is being held at Richmond Detachment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The security personnel from the mall were instrumental in challenging the suspects and providing accurate information to us. One in particular exhibited an unprecedented level of experience and calm in light of this high risk situation.â&#x20AC;?

MSP premium increase cancelled, assistance program enhanced THE B.C. government is cancelling the planned four-per-cent increase to MSP premiums, and those eligible for Regular Premium Assistance will see a four-per-cent reduction of their premium beyond what was announced with Budget 2016, Finance Minister Mike de Jong said on Thursday. The changes are possible because the government is in a stronger fiscal position than forecast in Budget 2016, with the First Quarterly Report showing strong economic performance compared to other provinces and stronger than forecast revenues across the three-year fiscal plan. Cancelling the January 2017 premium increase will save adults up to $36 per year. The enhancements announced with Budget 2016 will continue to be implemented as planned Jan. 1, 2017. This includes exempting children and expanding the range of incomes at which British Columbians can qualify for Regular Premium Assistance. With today’s changes and the changes announced in the Budget 2016, a single parent with two children will only be charged the single

adult rate, rather than the three-person rate they pay today – saving this family $900 per year. As a result of the changes made in Budget 2016 and announced today, by January 2017 approximately 40% of B.C. families will pay reduced premiums or no premiums at all. Once the changes

have been implemented, an estimated two million British Columbians will pay no premiums. Cancelling the January 2017 premium rate increase also means businesses that fund part or all of MSP premiums for their employees will not require a payroll adjustment.

MSP premiums account for only about 13% of the overall health-care budget and other taxes like corporate income tax, sales tax, natural resource and other government revenues are all required to help fund the cost of health care. In 2016-17, total health-care spending is forecast to be more than $19 billion, or 42% of all government spending.

Mike de Jong De Jong said: “B.C.’s strong economic growth and better-than-forecast revenues are paying dividends for British Columbians. The changes we’ve made to MSP, both in Budget 2016 and today, mean that more people will see their premiums reduced or eliminated, and no premiums will increase in 2017. Cancelling the planned rate increase and reducing the amount that people on premium assistance pay is yet another step toward fairer and progressive funding for health care.” Quick Facts: In 2017, as a result of eliminating children from premiums and enhancing premium assistance: * A single parent with two children can save up to $1,248 per year. * A single parent with one child can save up to $1,080 per year. * A couple with two children can save up to $696 per year. * A senior couple can save $528 per year. * A couple can save $528 per year. * A single senior can save $348 per year. * A single adult can save $348 per year. As a result of the enhancements to premium assistance announced with Budget 2016: * A single adult earning up to $42,000 may qualify for reduced premiums. * A single parent with one child earning up to $45,000 may qualify for reduced premiums. * A couple earning up to $45,000 may qualify for reduced premiums. * A single senior earning up to $45,000 may qualify for reduced premiums. * A single parent with two children earning up to $48,000 may qualify for reduced premiums. * A couple with two children earning up to $51,000 may qualify for reduced premiums. * A senior couple earning up to $51,000 may qualify for reduced premiums.

Mayors’ Council moves forward with phase one of the 10-Year Vision for Metro Vancouver Transit and Transportation METRO Vancouver mayors have released a plan for $2 billion in transit and road improvements to be implemented as phase one of the 10-Year Vision for Metro Vancouver Transit and Transportation, taking an important step toward improving the region’s transit and transportation system. Phase one of the 10-Year Vision, funded through regional funding sources to match investments by the provincial and federal governments, will: * Increase bus service by 10% across the region, starting in early 2017, including five new B-Line express routes; * Purchase 50 new SkyTrain cars for the Expo, Millennium, Evergreen and Canada Lines, plus five new West Coast Express cars and a new SeaBus; * Increase SkyTrain service in early 2017, by providing more service during midday and early evening hours; * Improve the region’s major road net-

work; * Improve and expand walking and cycling infrastructure across the region; * Improve access to transit stations and stops; * Continue planning and design work for the Broadway subway and Surrey light rail; and * Continue investing in system maintenance and performance. “Moving forward with phase one of the Mayors’ Council’s 10-Year Vision will kick start immediate and urgently needed improvements to Metro Vancouver’s transit and transportation network, and deliver long-overdue transit service to keep people moving across the region,” said Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson, Chair of the Mayors’ Council. “Phase one of the 10-Year Vision will see Metro Vancouver’s biggest transit expansion since 2009, and lays the groundwork for partnership with the provincial and fed-

eral governments on significant long-

term projects like the Broadway Subway and Surrey LRT.” The phase one plan includes regional funding sources so that TransLink can begin rolling out new services and projects identified in the vision starting in January 2017 – with the goal of reducing traffic and making transit commutes faster and more comfortable in communities across the region. The phase one plan will bring the first expansion of the region’s transit service since 2009 – a period during which 250,000 new residents have moved to Metro Vancouver. Details of the plan are available at tenyearvision.translink.ca. Metro Vancouver residents will have an opportunity to provide input in a public consultation beginning October 11. The Mayors also called on the provincial government to intensify its work with the region to implement the next phases of the vision, improve TransLink’s governance, and make the long term funding commitment necessary to match the federal government’s offer to fund up to 50% of major infrastructure projects. With the phase one plan, Metro Vancouver mayors said they are taking a fair and balanced approach to funding the region’s share, including reallocating existing TransLink resources through the sale of surplus property, a modest property tax increase of about $3 per year, raising transit fares by an average of 2% to 3% per year for three years to keep pace with inflation, and a fee on new developments. “The federal government has offered Metro Vancouver a once-in-a-generation opportunity with billions in federal funding available to fund up to 50% of projects in our transit system. We will need the Government of British Columbia to work with us and commit the long-term provincial funding we will need to move forward with Surrey Light Rail, the Broadway Subway, additional improvements to SkyTrain, Canada Line and West Coast Express, and the replacement of the Pattullo Bridge identified in future phases of the 10-Year Vision,” said Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner, Vice-Chair of the Mayors’ Council.

Clark said: “The provincial government’s contribution of more than $246 million is ready immediately.” She added: “Expanding transit in Metro Vancouver has never been more important. These investments will help meet rising demand, ease congestion, lower our carbon footprint and further enhance quality of life in what is already one of the world’s most livable cities.

Because we have our house in order, we can focus on investing in the services people depend on, such as transit. “As more people move here to pursue their dreams, we need to continue expanding and improving transit services, because it plays a pivotal role in creating liveable, affordable, and connected communities. “I look forward to working with our federal and municipal partners on Phase 2.”

B.C. benefits from increased revenues, reduced debt in budget update CONTINUED economic growth and stronger-than-budgeted revenues are providing government the flexibility to plan new investments in programs that benefit housing affordability and supply, set money aside to reduce provincial debt, and save money for the future through the B.C. Prosperity Fund, Finance Minister Mike de Jong announced on Thursday. Revenues are forecast to improve by almost $2.5 billion in 2016-17, compared to Budget 2016. A robust economy, more people working and earning incomes, higher corporate income tax revenues and property transfer tax revenues are leading to a forecast surplus of $1.9 billion for 2016-17. “Better revenues primarily reflect our province’s strong economy, with more people working and a robust housing market. With these revenues, we can make important investments to help families with the cost of housing,” de Jong said. “About half the value of the increased rev-

enue from the Property Transfer Tax ($500 million) will be invested in new programs to benefit housing affordability and $400 million will be invested in the B.C. Prosperity Fund as a legacy for future generations. We are also setting aside some of this year’s higher-than-forecast revenue to eliminate the government’s direct operating debt one year earlier than projected in Budget 2016.” Higher revenues also mean the B.C. government is cancelling the planned 4% increase to MSP premiums, and those eligible for Regular Premium Assistance will see a 4% reduction of their premium beyond what was announced with Budget 2016. Cancelling the January 2017 premium increase and keeping regular MSP premiums at 2016 levels will save adults up to $36 per year. The enhancements announced with Budget 2016 will continue to be implemented as planned Jan. 1, 2017. With steady economic growth and stronger-than-budgeted revenues, the

Province continues to forecast balanced budgets throughout the fiscal plan, with projected surpluses of $896 million in 2017-18 and $941 million in 2018-19. Government’s continued spending discipline is reflected in further improvements in the Province’s debt affordability. Taxpayer-supported debt for 2016-17 is projected to be $1.3 billion lower than forecast at Budget 2016, and the direct operating debt – money borrowed in the past to fund programs and services – is forecast to be $1.4 billion lower than budget. As government continues to successfully manage taxpayer-supported debt, the direct operating debt is now on track to be fully eliminated by 2019-20. B.C.’s real GDP is forecast to grow by 2.7% in 2016, up 0.3 percentage points from Budget 2016, followed by growth of 2.2% in 2017 and 2.3% in the medium term. Year-to-date data show strong domestic activity when compared to 2015 and private sector forecasters expect B.C. to rank first in provincial economic growth in 2016. When compared to Budget 2016, exports are lower than expected, while employment, retail sales and housing starts are performing better than expected. De Jong also released the Budget 2017 Consultation Paper and intends to meet with the Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services on September 19. Quick Facts: * Revenue improvements are allowing government to invest $500 million in new housing initiatives. * Improvements to revenues and the commitment to allocate $1 billion of the surplus-to-debt reduction will result in the direct operating debt being paid off in 2019-20, one year ahead of what was anticipated in Budget 2016. * Employment activity in B.C. has been relatively strong during the first eight months of 2016, as year-to-date data shows a 3.3% increase, which translates into about 74,600 more jobs. * Year-to-date to June 2016, B.C. retail sales rose 6.7%, compared to the first half of 2015, with consumer spending being supported by low interest rates, strong employment growth, interprovincial migration, and increased tourism.

Fastest-growing city - Surrey - gets more classroom space in time for back to school WITH three elementary school expansion projects now complete and construction underway on a new secondary school in the Clayton North area, 380 new seats are ready for Surrey students and 1,500 more are on the way. MLA for Surrey-Cloverdale, Stephanie Cadieux, and MLA for Surrey-Tynehead, Amrik Virk, were joined by the Surrey board of education, Surrey school district (SD 36) staff, teachers, parents and students at Adams Road Elementary to make the announcement on Monday on behalf of Education Minister Mike Bernier. Sixteen classrooms were added through the expansion projects at Adams Road, Morgan, and Rosemary Heights elementary schools to address the need for more student space due to growing enrolment. The $5.6-million Adams Road Elementary project includes a new two-storey building with 10 classrooms that can accommodate 40 additional kindergarten and 200 elementary students. The addition has a central open space on each floor for collaborative learning and lots of natural light. As a result of this project, 285 students have been moved from the onsite portables and into the new classrooms. The $2.3-million Morgan Elementary project includes four new classrooms that can accommodate 100 elementary students. The $1.5-million Rosemary Heights Elementary project includes two classrooms that can accommodate 40 kindergarten students. In addition, work is underway on the new Salish Secondary school in the Clayton North area, formerly called Clayton North Secondary. The new school will feature state-of-the-art learning spaces to support B.C.’s new curriculum. The new secondary will hold 1,500 grade 8-12 students, which will help alleviate enrolment pressures − particularly at Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary. The new school is expected to be open and ready for students in fall 2018. The total budget for the four school projects is $64.6 million, including $55.2 million for the Salish secondary and $9.4 million for the three additions. The Province contributed $45.6 million toward the projects and the Surrey school district contributed $19 million.

spaces have been opened or approved in Surrey. * Since 2001, the Surrey school district has seen an 18% increase in student enrolment, from 58,648 students to an estimated 69,446 in 201516. * Since 2001, government has invested more than $337 million for 55 capital and seismic projects, and 12 site acquisitions in Surrey. * This announcement builds on the recent investment of nearly $100 million to fund six priority projects in Surrey. * In 2014, government completed Goldstone Park and Katzie Elementary schools, and additions to Fraser Heights and Panorama Ridge Secondary. These projects totalled $44.2 million and created 1,160 spaces for elementary and 500 secondary spaces in Surrey. * Budget 2016 provides $1.7 billion over three years to replace aging facilities, build more student spaces in growing communities, and improve seismic safety.

Civil forfeiture program’s 10th anniversary: crushing gun, gang and drug crime; $10,000 more for anti-gang presentations in schools AFTER 10 years, B.C.’s civil forfeiture program continues to combat gun and gang activity on two fronts, by taking away criminals’ ill-gotten gains and investing in outreach, intervention and awareness programs that steer youth away from gangs and crime. To mark the program’s anniversary, Mike Morris, Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General, joined law enforcement representatives to crush a bullet-riddled 2003 BMW X5 that was involved in a local shooting in 2013. The SUV is among hundreds of vehicles, properties and other assets forfeited to date, most of which have had links to alleged drug production or distribution, possession or transport of illegal weapons, assaults and other organized crime and violent activities. As well, the Province announced a $10,000 grant from civil forfeiture proceeds to the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of British Columbia (CFSEUBC). This funding will help sustain an ongoing series of anti-gang presentations by CFSEU-BC and a former gang member into the new school year. The grant builds on the nearly $2 million awarded to more than 60 youth anti-gang and crime prevention projects across B.C. in March, as part of the largest ever one-time grants investment in community crime prevention in B.C.

ized crime. It detracts from their ability and motivation to pursue drug manufacturing and distribution, as well as related violence that threatens innocent bystanders. But its value to law enforcement and public safety is also in its legacy, as millions of dollars in grants each year support grassroots efforts to keep kids out of gangs, as well as other vio-

Facts and figures spanning the life of B.C.’s civil forfeiture program, operational since April 2006, include: * More than 4,000 cases referred to the office, resulting in more than 2,600 forfeitures – nearly 2,000 of them uncontested – plus a further 202 cases now before the courts. * Forfeiture proceeds totalling $65.8 million. * Among the more unusual items forfeited, two helicopters allegedly involved in cross-border drug transportation, a warehouse used to store precursor chemicals for illegal drug manufacture, a house on the U.S. border employed in trafficking illegal immigrants, a gangster’s bulletproof SUV, and a ski chalet linked to an alleged drug importation scheme. * $26.1 million in grants to support anti-gang outreach to youth, prevention of violence against vulnerable

women and other crime prevention projects. * $1.5 million in compensation to victims of crime, including fraud. * Five vehicles that B.C. police agencies now use in anti-gang and youth crime outreach. In March 2005, the Province announced it was “hitting back at organized crime” and related profits with new legislation targeting the tools and proceeds of unlawful activity. In turn, the self-funding Civil Forfeiture Office (CFO) – the second provincial program of its kind in Canada – would liquidate recovered assets like vehicles and real estate, then share proceeds with communities in support of crime prevention programs and victim services and compensation. Morris said: “Civil forfeiture continues to have a direct impact on gangs and organ-

lence prevention priorities.” Chief Constable Les Sylven, President, B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police, said: “Civil forfeiture is an important tool for police and the public. While the focus of any criminal investigation is a conviction, civil forfeiture provides another legitimate way to combat organized crime at all levels. For police agencies, a straightforward

case referral process has encouraged the use of the CFO to target vehicles, property, cash and equipment that are used to import, manufacture and distribute illegal drugs, as well as removing assets that are linked to other serious crimes. Police in B.C. look forward to further collaboration with government using this proven tool.”

Rick Hart, Surrey’s 2016 Good Citizen of the Year and former president of the Fleetwood Community Association, is remembered for his 25 years of community service and leadership at a special ceremony held on Saturday at the 2016 Fleetwood Festival where special guests and speakers included (L-R) City of Surrey Councillors Mike Starchuk, Bruce Hayne, Mary Martin and Vera LeFranc; former MP, MLA, and City Councillor Penny Priddy; Fleetwood Community Association’s Deb Hughes; City of Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner; and Surrey-Fleetwood MLA Peter Fassbender, Minister of Community, Sport, Cultural Development.

Richmond RCMP seek witnesses in weekend road rage altercation RICHMOND RCMP are trying to track down a woman wanted in a road rage incident that took place last Saturday. Around 9:15 a.m. on September 10, a 58year old motorist was driving her gray Toyota pickup southbound along No. 2 Road, turning eastbound onto Steveston Highway. She honked when another motorist allegedly veered into her lane. She managed to avoid a collision. When she stopped at the intersection of Steveston Highway and No. 3 Road, the other driver exited from a gray four-door sedan. It is alleged that this driver shouted several expletives, and then dragged the woman from her truck and physically assaulted her. Several Good Samaritans intervened.

The victim contacted police some hours later from her home. “We are attempting to understand this incident fully. It appears that this level of behaviour far exceeds what is acceptable or lawful. We are thankful for the decency of the Good Samaritans who chose to stop and intervene,” said Cpl. Dennis Hwang. “It would be extremely helpful in our investigation if the Good Samaritans or any other persons with knowledge of this incident make contact with us immediately. Likewise, if drivers equipped with dash cameras could review their footage for us, we would be grateful.” Police are looking for a woman, around

5’ 5” tall (165 cm), with a slim build, olive skin, and medium length black hair. She was wearing a light long sleeved sweater and blue jeans. She apparently had a round face and was wearing large round sunglasses. Anyone with information on this inci-

Horgan commits to break transportation funding gridlock, creating thousands of jobs A New Democrat government will get Metro Vancouver commuters moving again by increasing the provincial share of capital funding for public transportation improvements to 40 percent, clearing the way to shorter commutes and thousands of new construction jobs over the next 10 years. “We’re stepping up while the B.C. Liberal government continues to stall. Because [Premier] Christy Clark hasn’t done her work, the people of Metro Vancouver can’t get to work. I say let’s get moving on building transit and creating new jobs,” NDP Leader John Horgan said.

“A New Democrat government will increase the province’s capital share from 33 per cent to 40 per cent to get moving on the transportation planning framework developed by Metro Vancouver mayors. “Our plan delivers clear benefits for commuters, the environment and our economy. We’ll put people to work building infrastructure, generating more than 4,300 jobs a year for British Columbians over 10 years. That’s almost $3 billion in wages over the coming years, and a contribution of almost $4.5 billion to the B.C. economy.

way. The premier forced an expensive, made-to-fail referendum on voters, she picked fights with Lower Mainland mayors over funding, and she has stalled and dithered and blocked the way forward for years now. “The mayors have made it clear they need provincial support to get people and goods moving smoothly across Metro. We can’t afford to wait any longer for Christy Clark to do her job. Her inaction is holding back people and holding back our economy. “I’m ready to take the lead and work with the mayors to get this done.”

“The Metro mayors have worked hard to develop a 10-year transportation plan, and New Democrats support their vision. We’re going to work together to break the gridlock on our roads, fight climate change, and create thousands of good jobs as we move ahead.” Horgan said the mayors’ plan provides 1.5 million more people with reliable public transit service, cuts congested commutes by up to half an hour every day, and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. He added: “Instead of leading the way, Christy Clark has continually stood in the

Finance Minister says he’s concerned about allegations some not paying their share of taxes FINANCE Minister Mike de Jong on Saturday that the changes B.C. made this summer are intended to address a number of the issues raised in today’s story on real estate by the Globe and Mail [“Out of the shadows” that “reveals how loopholes and lax oversight are making it easy for a network of local and foreign speculators to play the system, and, in the process, fuel the steep rise in Vancouver home prices.”] De Jong said in a statement: “Offshore buyers—whether individuals or corporations—that are named on the property title would be subject to the 15% additional PTT, and the general avoidance rules that support the tax will help ensure the tax cannot be avoided. Further, property transfer tax forms now require Social Insurance Numbers as evidence of Canadian citizenship or formal permanent residency, which will help CRA enforcement efforts. “Canada’s finance ministers discussed concerns about tax auditing and potential money laundering in real estate at their June meeting in Vancouver. Provincial officials have also discussed B.C.’s ongoing concerns through the federal provincial municipal working group on housing affordability. “British Columbia’s real estate and financial regulators are also interested in the allegations raised in the story. “The Canada Revenue Agency is the primary body responsible for auditing compliance with the income tax act. We understand the CRA has been taking further steps to identify and pursue cases of tax evasion. We support these efforts, and we share information under the agreement we have in place with the federal government. “Like all taxpayers, I am concerned about allegations that some are not paying their share of taxes. For Canadians to have confidence in the tax system, the CRA must diligently enforce the law. I have and will continue to communicate this expectation to Finance Minister [Bill] Morneau and the federal government.”

Two-thirds think Real Estate Foreign Buyer Tax will not make it easier to own a home WHILE most British Columbians support the recently implemented 15-per-cent foreign buyer tax, its actual effect in leading to affordability in the domestic housing market is questioned by a large proportion of residents, a new Insights West poll has found. In the online survey of a representative provincial sample, 76% of residents support the 15-per-cent foreign buyer tax that will apply to all residential real estate deals in Metro Vancouver, while 17% oppose it and 7% are undecided. Support for the 15-per-cent foreign buyer tax is high among residents who voted for the BC New Democratic Party (NDP) (81%), the BC Green

Party (79%) and the governing BC Liberals (74%) in the 2013 provincial election. Upon the introduction of the tax, Premier Christy Clark said the new tax was about ensuring “that British Columbians get first crack and best crack at buying new homes and existing homes when they come on the market.” Across the province, 59% of residents believe the new tax will be unsuccessful in this regard—including 56% of BC Liberal voters in 2013. In addition, two-thirds of British Columbians (68%) think the new tax will be unsuccessful in “making it easier for British Columbians to afford a home”—a proportion that includes 67% of BC

Liberal voters in the last provincial ballot. When asked about the provincial government’s pledge to reinvest the revenue from the 15-percent foreign buyer tax into affordable housing projects, almost three-in-four British Columbians (73%) express little or no confidence—including 67% of BC Liberal voters. “While British Columbians of all political stripes are in favour of the foreign buyer tax, they are also united in doubting its efficacy,” says Mario Canseco, Vice President, Public Affairs, at Insights West. “The promise of revenue going into a special housing fund to be spent on affordability projects is currently unconvincing, even

for the government’s supporters.” All three levels of government fare better in dealing with housing issues, when compared to a similar Insights West poll conducted in June. The highest level of dissatisfaction continues to be observed for the provincial government (61%, down 15 points), followed by the federal government (53%, down 17 points) and municipal governments (also 53%, down 12 points). Results are based on an online study conducted from August 19 to 23 among a representative sample of 827 adults in British Columbia. The margin of error is +/- 3.5 percentage points.

Vancouver Mayor says city on track to implement proposed tax by 2017 VANCOUVER is on track to implement a tax on empty and underutilized homes before the end of the year, City Council will hear next week. The proposed tax targets Vancouver’s known 10,800 empty homes, incentivizing owners to rent out their secondary and investment properties as the city’s rental vacancy rate continues to hover near zero. ”Vancouver’s dangerously low vacancy rate is putting our renters in crisis. Our proposed empty homes tax is first and foremost about bringing rental homes back into the market,” said Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson on Wednesday. “We need to ensure the best use of all our housing. Empty and underutilized investment properties are holding back badly needed homes for thousands of renters who are struggling to find a secure and accessible place to live in a tight rental market.” The proposed tax targets residential properties left empty or underutilized and used as a business holding that could be returned to the rental market, and will be administered using self-declaration, audit and complaint response: * Principal residences – either by owner, licensee (such as a family member), or tenanted– generally will not be subject to the tax. Owners will be required to declare their principal residence (or tenancy), similar to declaring the Home Owner Grant. * If audited, owners will have to prove that the home was a principal residence for the owner, a tenant or a licensee, via a BC Driver’s licence or BCID, a completed Home Owner Grant, a tenancy agreement or similar documentation. * If the owner is unable to prove the home was a principal residence for a minimum number of days in the previous year (to be determined by staff through consultation this fall), the tax will apply. * If a declaration is not made, legislation allows for owners to automatically be charged the empty homes tax. Some homes will be subject to exemptions under the new tax, which will be determined this fall through public consultation. The proposed empty homes tax rate (earlier proposed by staff between 0.5% and 2% of assessed property value per year) will be determined over the coming weeks through further public consultation. Staff conservatively estimate the proposed empty homes tax, if collected on 5% of the known 10,800 empty homes, could raise approximately $2 million in annual revenue, which will be re-invested into the city’s affordable housing initiatives. Staff will report back to City Council in November with the final proposed tax bylaw, in time for implementation in 2017. Since 2011, Vancouver has enabled over 12,000 affordable homes. The proposed empty homes tax is part of a suite of steps City Council is pursuing to relieve pressure on Vancouver’s housing market, including: * Directing staff to bring forward steps to regulate short-term rentals, like Airbnb, this fall;

* Pursuing modular housing on city-owned sites for temporary affordable housing; * Offering 20 sites of city-owned land worth $250 million to senior governments to use for afford-

able housing; * Calling for both a speculation tax and a luxury sales tax to create a more level playing field in the housing market;

* Increasing family home requirements in new housing projects to 35%; and * Providing four city-owned sites to enable Vancouver’s first Community Land Trust.

Project Valley Sweep: Nine per cent reduction in theft of auto, theft from auto, and break and enters POLICE in the Fraser Valley are crediting Project Valley Sweep for a decline in property crime over the summer. This joint effort involved seven dedicated officers from Abbotsford Police Department, Chilliwack and Mission RCMP. The project, conducted from May 1 to July 30, resulted in police making contact with 582 individuals. These contacts were made during street, vehicle, and curfew compliance checks, which led to 94 arrests and 54 individuals facing a total of 91 criminal and drug-related charges ranging from the breach of court ordered con-

ditions to possession of narcotics for the purpose of trafficking. On one occasion an offender was caught breaching a court ordered curfew, when the person left their residence after a curfew check, not realizing officers would return to complete a second check. Project Valley Sweep was created by the Abbotsford Police Department, Chilliwack and Mission RCMP in response to an increase in property crime throughout the region. The three-month project aimed to reduce theft of autos, theft from autos and break and enters by

focusing enforcement actions on repeat and chronic offenders. Recognizing that drug and alcohol addictions often lead individuals to commit property crimes, included in the Project Valley Sweep was a mandate to offer those wanting help access to resources that would assist them in addressing addiction issues. There were 33 offers of outreach programs to those caught up in the sweep. The Abbotsford Police Department, Chilliwack RCMP and Mission RCMP report that the project has led to a two percent reduction in overall

property crime and a nine percent reduction in the targeted crimes of interest - theft of auto, theft from auto, and break and enters â&#x20AC;&#x201C; between April 5 and June 24. Police agencies from the three communities are currently analyzing all of the information gathered during the Project Valley Sweep and looking at the feasibility of further combined enforcement initiatives.

The state of B.C.'s wallets for National Payroll Week BY DERMOD TRAVIS Executive Director IntegrityBC IT'S National Payroll Week. Regrettably, celebrations do not include an extra paycheque. British Columbians may even be wondering what there is to celebrate at all. According to the Canadian Payroll Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s survey of employed Canadians released in advance of this week's festivities, 53 per cent of British Columbians reported that â&#x20AC;&#x153;it would be difficult to meet their financial obligations if their pay cheque was delayed by even a single week.â&#x20AC;? Alec Milne of research firm Framework Partners noted that â&#x20AC;&#x153;the data suggests that household income growth has stalled and real incomes have actually declined when inflation is taken into account.â&#x20AC;? In 2014, according to the latest numbers from Statistics Canada, the median income for an individual in B.C. was $31,610, compared to the national median of $32,790. The percentage of British Columbians earning below $25,000 was 41.6 per cent or 1.469 million individuals. Add in those earning up to $49,999 and 69.2 per cent earned below $50,000. B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Seniors Advocate, Isobel Mackenzie, raised the alarm this July over the fact that senior families saw their annual median income fall 5.7 per

cent and single seniors by 6.3 per cent (over 2013). Then there's the side of the ledger that hasn't stalled: living expenses. In April 2010, the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation reported that the average rent for a one bedroom apartment in B.C. was $876 and $983 for a two bedroom. In 2015, the respective rents were $973 and $1,136, an increase of 11 and 15.6 per cent respectively. The cumulative increase in the consumer price index (CPI) was nine per cent. Now try finding one. The vacancy rate over the same period fell from 3.1 to 1.8 per cent, despite an increase of 4,229 units across B.C.

In the â&#x20AC;&#x153;we really didn't say that, did we department,â&#x20AC;? RBC Economics reported in 2010 that increases in its Housing Affordability Index for B.C., â&#x20AC;&#x153;(signalled) that home ownership is really testing the limits of B.C. householdsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; budgets. Very poor affordability is likely to restrain demand in the period ahead.â&#x20AC;? Back then the average price for a standard condominium in the Vancouver area was $388,800 and $688,600 for a single-family detached bungalow . In June RBC reported that the average condo price had risen by 26.82 per cent to $493,100 and the bungalow by more than 100 per cent to $1.38 million. In 2011, B.C.'s Provincial Health Services Authority reported that the cost of a standard â&#x20AC;&#x153;nutritious food basket for a family of four (was) $869 per month.â&#x20AC;? By 2015, it had risen 12.1 per cent to $974 per month (cumulative CPI 6.1 per cent). Then there are those â&#x20AC;&#x153;just a few dollars a month moreâ&#x20AC;? regressive tax hikes the B.C. government likes so much. They add up. MSP premiums are up 31.6 per cent (2010 to 2016) to $900 for an individual and $1,800 for a family (cumulative CPI 10.4). For an average B.C.

A one-way passenger fare on B.C. Ferries between Tsawwassen and Swartz Bay has risen by 25.5 per cent since 2010 to $17.20. On the Horseshoe Bay to Langdale route, the return fare has gone up by 28.2 per cent to $16.15 (cumulative CPI 10.4). Back to one last stat from the Payroll Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s survey: 27 per cent of employees in B.C. said â&#x20AC;&#x153;they probably couldn't come up with $2,000 if an emergency arose within the next month,â&#x20AC;? making them among â&#x20AC;&#x153;the most cashstrapped in the nation.â&#x20AC;? The government may like touting the fact that B.C. is on track to have the highest provincial job growth rate in the land this year, but it would do well to remember that the growth is in some of Canada's lowest paying jobs and in some of the country's priciest communities. As one person posted on social media in response to the last B.C. Hydro rate increase application: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The last thing people NEED is an increase in utilities!

Two-in-three Canadians approve of Prime Minister Trudeau, though confidence in the economy lags AS Prime Minister Justin Trudeau rounds the bases on the first anniversary of the election that gave him and his Liberal caucus a majority mandate, public opinion data analyzed by the Angus Reid Institute finds his approval at a new high, with nearly two-in-three Canadians saying they approve of Trudeau’s performance. These majority approval numbers for Trudeau are accompanied by a small but notable lessening of economic anxieties, with a growing number of Canadians more likely to say their standard of living has improved over the last 12 months than at any point in the last four years. That said, they’re still twice as likely to say their standard of living has worsened in the last year as to say it has improved, and significant regional differences exist, particularly in parts of the country dependent on the oil and energy economies.

Tragically Hip’s final show. This was followed by an equally high-profile state visit to China at the beginning of September, where he was bestowed with the nickname “Little Potato”, which is, according to media reports, a term of endearment, and a name his father had received (minus the “Little”) in previous visits. While critics have questioned whether that trip achieved any substantial economic or diplomatic success, the summer months appear to have left a favourable view of Trudeau. As previously mentioned, some two-thirds (65%) approve of him, more than twice as many as those who disagree (30%). For comparison, Trudeau’s predecessor Stephen Harper never enjoyed the approval of more than two-fifths of Canadians at any point in his majority mandate. His peak approval rating – 42 per cent – came in December 2014.

Key Findings: The Opposition * Justin Trudeau’s approval rating is the highest it has been in this survey since he took office last November, rising to 65 per cent, more than double the number who disapprove (30%) * Canadians report increasing satisfaction with a number of aspects of life in their country today, including their health care system, relations between the federal and provincial governments, and foreign policy * The economy is still the top issue for Canadians, and on this front the outlook remains gloomy, especially in Alberta and Newfoundland and Labrador, where flagging oil and gas sectors dominate the provincial economies Two-in-three approve of Trudeau Trudeau spent his summer nabbing human interest headlines at home and abroad. He became the first sitting Prime Minister to march in pride parades in Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal, he set social media abuzz when photographed shirtless on vacation in Tofino, and embraced Gord Downie backstage before the

Rona Ambrose and the CPC: The return of MPs for the fall sitting of the House of Commons may be something of a dispiriting time for the leaders of the Conservative Party of Canada and the New Democrats. CPC interim leader Rona Ambrose earns the approval of about one-in-three Canadians (32%) – fewer than half of those who approve of Trudeau. They are mostly in Alberta (52%) and mostly are those who voted for the party in October 2015 (67% among CPC voters). But unless Ambrose herself decides to enter the race for permanent leader – something she has maintained she will not do – her own approval ratings are less relevant than sometimes fractious debate between declared candidates over issues such as a so-called “values test” for immigrants, the elimination of the supply-management system or the monitoring of Canadian charities for terror-related activities.

Then there’s Tom Mulcair: booted from his own party’s leadership position in the spring at a convention in Edmonton, he vows he’ll stay on as leader through next year despite calls for his departure from inside and outside the NDP caucus – casting himself as a “steady hand at the tiller” while the party waits for its first official leadership candidate to come forward. Against this backdrop – two-in-five (40%) Canadians approve of his job performance – slightly fewer than who disapprove (45%). Satisfaction with government improving

The Prime Minister’s high levels of approval are reflective of another trend – a growing satisfaction with many areas of governance since the 2015 election. Indeed, on stakeholder relations and dealing with the provincial governments, a 17 point post-election jump has been sustained over the past year, while management of safety and security has risen steadily in each quarter since October. On security, this rise in satisfaction comes despite unpopular decisions to pull CF-18’s from ISIS bombing missions and to stand by the previous governments Saudi Arms deal, as well as a public opinion split over the government’s refugee resettlement plans. The government has also begun a national security review of the controversial anti terror law, Bill C-51, which many saw as an overreach of policing and surveillance powers. The government has also reached majority sup-

port for its foreign policy (54% satisfied). Trudeau’s message of multilateralism has garnered attention worldwide, and appears to also be resonating with most Canadians. Economic anxiety and household debt While Canadian satisfaction with many elements of the federal government is improving, the same can also be said of the economy, but in a more limited way: it still ranks lowest compared to other files. The ratio of Canadians saying their standard of living is worse off now than it was a year ago (31%) over those saying their situation has improved (16%) continues to hold at approximately two-to-one. Many Canadians may say that they are stuck in an economic rut, and this would mirror the situation of the country as a whole. Household debt levels, which reached record highs in 2015 at 165.4%, have been reported at near identical rates for 2016 (165.3%). Against this backdrop, and in a reality where job growth has been hard to come by for many, one-quarter of Canadians expect a drop in their standard of living over the next year, though it is worth noting that this percentage has declined slightly for a second consecutive quarter. And while nationally overall satisfaction with the Canadian economy today appears to be on the rise, there is apprehension about how it will perform in the year ahead, depending on where respondents live.

UBC to welcome royal couple at its Okanagan campus; Prince George and Princess Charlotte will be joining their parents STUDENTS, faculty and staff at UBC’s Okanagan campus are preparing to welcome the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to Kelowna later this month. On September 27, as part of their Canadian tour, Prince William and Kate Middleton will visit UBC’s campus in the British Columbia Interior to dedicate a new Aboriginal art installation and take in an exhibition match of the campus’ nationally ranked women’s volleyball team. “It will be an honour to welcome the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to the University of British Columbia and introduce them to the exceptional academic community at UBC’s Okanagan campus,” says Deborah Buszard, UBC Deputy Vice Chancellor and Principal. “I look forward to offering the Duke and Duchess a glimpse of the 21st century approaches to learning and research that make UBC Okanagan one of the fastest growing university campuses in Canada.” Kelowna is one of several cities the royal couple will be visiting. Other locations include Victoria, Bella Bella, and Haida Gwaii in British Columbia and Whitehorse and Carcross in Yukon. Premier Christy Clark said on Monday: “This tour presents a unique opportunity the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to learn more about our province’s diverse urban, rural and remote wilderness regions. “The Duke and Duchess will also be meeting British Columbians making positive changes such as conserving the Great Bear Rainforest, innovating approaches to addressing mental illness, and welcoming new Canadians.” The official royal visit itinerary includes various events that are open to the public, as listed below: Saturday, September 24: Official welcome to Canada - Parliament Buildings, Victoria. Sunday, September 25: Arrival in Vancouver, Jack Poole Plaza. Tuesday, September 27: Arrival at UBC Okanagan, Kelowna. Saturday, October 1: Official departure from Canada, Inner Harbour, Victoria.

ACCORDING to a statement on the Royal Family’s website on Monday, Prince George and Princess Charlotte will be joining their parents, Prince William and Kate, on the visit. The family will travel to Victoria with the Royal Canadian Air Force and will be greeted at Victoria Airport on Saturday, September 24 before moving to Government House - where they will be based throughout the tour – for a very brief stop. The Duke and Duchess will then make their way to British Columbia's Parliament Buildings. Here they will officially open their tour by paying respects at Victoria's Cenotaph and will unveil a new plaque paying tribute to the veterans of Canada's involvement in the Afghanistan conflict. The official welcome to Canada will then get underway, featuring an honour guard and speeches. This official welcome will be open to the public. Following this event, the royal couple will return to Government House where they will have meetings with senior Canadian leaders. The next morning they will travel from Victoria to Vancouver by float plane. They will land in the harbour where they will receive a civic welcome in Jack Poole Plaza located by the Vancouver Trade and Convention Centre. From here, the royal couple will travel to the Downtown East Side of Vancouver to meet the team at Sheway, a charity that has achieved remarkable things for vulnerable mothers who are battling addiction and other issues. They will then visit the Immigration Services Society of British Columbia. Here they will meet the staff and volunteers who support over 25,000 recent migrants to Canada each year. They will explore issues including housing, education,

watching an exhibition match with the campus' nationally ranked women's volleyball team. They will then take part in the BC Government's 'Taste of British Columbia' festival at Mission Hill Winery. They will also meet with local young people who are learning about potential careers in food and agriculture. The royal couple will then fly to Whitehorse, Yukon. They will also visit Carcross, a small town of less than 300 people 70 kilometres from Whitehorse on the Klondike Highway. They will then travel a short distance to the beautiful Montana Mountain. The royal couple will fly back to Victoria on Wednesday, September 28. On Thursday, September 29, the royal couple will attend a children's party in the grounds of Government House. A group of military families have been invited. The rest of the day will provide the royal couple some private time with their children. On Friday, September 30, they will visit Haida Gwaii, the archipelago on the northern coast of British Columbia that is home to the Haida Nation. On Saturday, October 1, the royal couple will visit the Cridge Centre for the Family – one of Victoria's most well-known charitable institutions. The Centre provides a range of services, including childcare, youth outreach, and support for women who have experienced domestic violence. They will then visit a local café where they will meet with families that have been supported by the Kelty Mental Health Resource Centre, one of British Columbia's leading mental health charities. Then they will board a tall-ship operated by the Sail and Life Training Society, a charity that uses the power of sailing to give young people skills and direction in their lives. Later that afternoon, the royal couple will end their tour by taking part in a public official departure ceremony at Victoria Harbour Airport. They will then board a float plane and will have a brief tour of the southern tip of Vancouver Island before departing Canada with the Royal Canadian Air Force.

employment, language, and mental health and will have an opportunity to engage directly with Syrian refugees. The royal couple will then attend an event celebrating young leaders in Canadian arts, music, sport, charity, business, and film. They will then visit the Kitsilano Coastguard Station in Vanier Park and then depart the area by the Coast Guard's hovercraft before flying back to Victoria for the evening. On Monday, September 26, the royal couple will travel to the Great Bear Rainforest – the world's largest temperate rainforest, located on the beautiful Central Coast of British Columbia. Premier Christy Clark announced on Monday, September 12 that Great Bear Rainforest has been named as Canada's commitment to the Queen's Commonwealth Canopy that is a unique network of forest conversation initiatives, which involves all 53 countries of the Commonwealth. Immediately on arrival at Bella Bella airport, the royal couple will transfer to a float plane where they will be given an aerial tour of a section of the vast rainforest. They will then land on the water at Bella Bella's main jetty where they will be ceremoniously welcomed by the Heiltsuk First Nations community. From there they will be guided by young people through Bella Bella to the community centre where a youth performance will take place. There will also be an opportunity for speeches on the significance of the QCC at a separate event following this performance. The party will then travel to nearby Mcloughlin Bay where the rainforest will be officially committed to The Queen's Commonwealth Canopy during a brief ceremony. The party will have an opportunity to see one of the new walking trails being constructed in the area before departing by boat and returning to Victoria. That evening in Victoria, the royal couple will attend a reception hosted by the province at Government House. On Tuesday, September 27, the royal couple will fly to Kelowna. Their first stop will be the Okanagan campus of the University of British Columbia where they will have a chance to meet with students and the wider community before
