TIGERS Awarded Queen's Diamond JubileeCelebrating Community Con t r ibu t ions and Achievements

On behalf of the Gov-ernor General, His Excellency the Right Honourable David Johnston, Lisa Raitt presented The Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal to local resi-dents Tiger Jeet Singh and his son Tiger Ali Singh.The Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal is a tangible way for Canada to honour Her Majesty for her service to this country, while at the same time, celebrate the significant contributions and achievements by Canadians, said Lisa Raitt, Member of Parliament for Halton. From their immense accomplish-ments in sport to their vast philanthropic activities, the Tigers embody the charac-teristics that the spirit of this medal is designed to reward.The presentation was made at a school assembly in front of one thousand students from grades JK to grade 8 hosted by Tiger Jeet Singh Public School, an elementary school

in Milton that was named af-ter the famous wrestler upon opening in 2009.Standing in a school of your namesake, in front of a room of children accepting the Queens Diamond Jubilee Medal was such an over-whelming experience, said Tiger Jeet Singh. It is my hope that we inspire these children and help them realize they can do anything they set out to achieve.The Queens Diamond Jubilee Medal was commissioned by the Canadian Government as a way to mark the 2012 celebrations of the 60th anni-versary of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth IIs accession to the Throne as Queen of Canada and to acknowledge notewor-

thy citizens for their service. The Tigers are the only father and son pairing in Canada to be honoured with this award.Our work is our way of giving back to a community that has given us so much, said Tiger Ali Singh. Being able to contribute is reward enough, but, of course, we are truly humbled to be hon-oured to be recognized in this fashion.For more information about the Tiger Jeet Singh Founda-tion's community initiatives, including their 4th edition of TigerFest taking place at Brampton's Canada Day Celebrations on July 1st, visit their web site www.tigerjeets-inghfoundation.com

CITY OF ABBOTSFORD HONOURS NATIONAL HOSPICE PALLIATIVE CARE WEEK WITH

CANUCK PLACE CHILDRENS HOSPICE AND ABBOTSFORD HOSPICE SOCIETY

Ma y o r o f A b -botsford Bruce B a n m a n a n d Abbotsford City Council raised flags for Canuck Place Childrens Hospice and Abbotsford Hospice Society in honour of Na-tional Hospice Palliative Care Week (May 6 to 12, 2012).

We thank the Mayor, the Council and the City of Abbotsford for recog-nizing the importance of hospice palliative care in our province as well as the programs and services of the Dave Lede Campus of Care, where the second Canuck Place Childrens Hospice and Abbotsford Hospice Society will be housed, says Gord Huston, Board member, Canuck Place Childrens Hospice. It is our hope that the raising of these flags will build further awareness of palliative care, and the vital role it plays for the many chil-dren, families and adults in BC who are facing life-threatening illnesses.

We are grateful to Mayor Banman, the council and the City of Abbotsford who embrace the pro-grams and services that both Abbotsford Hospice Society and Canuck Place Childrens Hospice offer, says Debbie Lehmann, Executive Director, Ab-botsford Hospice Society. Hospice palliative care involves an integrated approach and emphasizes quality of life for those who are living with or dying from advanced ill-ness. In history, flags have represented rallying sym-bols for beliefs, principles and causes. In honour of national hospice palliative care week the flags will be a focus point repre-senting the compassion of the community of Ab-botsford.

We are very fortunate to have Canuck Place Chil-drens Hospice and Ab-botsford Hospice Society serving the community of Abbotsford, said Mayor Bruce Banman. Today we are raising these two

flags in recognition of the many people they have helped over the years, and to the dedicated services these two organizations continue to provide to families in Abbotsford.

Recent studies indicate that Canuck Place Chil-drens Hospice is only reaching a fraction of the current needs for pediatric palliative care in Brit-ish Columbia. Forty six percent of families cur-rently served by Canuck Place Childrens Hospice reside in the Fraser Health Region.

Canuck Place Childrens Hospice is building a sec-ond facility housed within the Dave Lede Campus of Care, located on a two-acre property located in Abbotsford. With 10 beds and 5 family suites, the new 30,000 square foot hospice will double the current capacity of Canuck Place Childrens Hospice to better meet the growing need for pediatric palliative care services across the province.

Cycling4Diversity Countdown

As the countdown begins before the Cycling4Diversity team hits the roadway to spread the message of diversity and inclusion on May 22-25th, preparations are very close to being com-plete. The team will be cycling through nine communities and making just over forty stops at schools, organizations and public venues. The 2nd annual ride has doubled in size from last year's with the amount of stops and support. The team will generously be presented with eight proclamations along the ride and one from the province of British Columbia naming May 20-26th as Cycling4Diversity Week throughout BC. Part of the Cycling4Diversity Mission Statement proclaims: To encourage more intercultural activities, friendships and dia-logue with each other and to bring aware-ness of our multicultural communities. The Cycling4Diversity team encourages British Columbians during "Cycling4Di-versity Week" to reach out and develop intercultural relationships in their neigh-bourhoods, work place and schools. When I've spoken with community leaders over the last year regarding some of the isolation issues that have been occurring, they are surprised to learn about this. Obvi-ously, as a columnist, I hear this response consistently on a regular basis and how divisions and isolations are effecting how we live with one another. Last year, after hearing these discussions and feedback I decided to create the Cy-cling4Diversity initiative which consisted of a small group of cyclists who would travel from city to city to raise awareness in celebrating our diversity. One way to accomplish this is to foster honest com-munication and friendships. Lets not fool ourselves, racism unfortunately comes in many forms.My original goal was to do this initiative once, but with the support and encourage-ment from Executive Coordinator Sarina Di Martino Derksen and the public, I de-cided to hit the pavement again to Victoria in 2012.

This 2nd annual ride has a very special story to it, one which touches my heart. The road bike that I travelled on last year, which was raffled off last September is being reunited with me on May 22nd. I'm extremely excited and honoured to have the privilege of riding this bike again. Our communications director Dwayne De Souza, owner of Kapish Media described the return of the bike as a beautiful that needed to be shared. It began when the winner of the raffle decided that she didn't want the bike, but rather wanted to sell it. It was at this moment that Di Martino Derksen came forward and expressed that she would like to purchase the bike from the winner and loan it to the C4D rides for future years. The bike is currently be pol-ished and serviced and will be handed over to me during Cycling4Diversity Week.Some of this year's team members include (and the list is still growing) Abbotsford Deputy Police Chief Rick Lucy, Abbots-ford Coun. Bill MacGregor, Abbotsford Coun. Dave Loewen, Television Talk Show Host Harpreet Singh , Sukhi Dhami and Raj Patara. For those who wish to celebrate our journey, meet the cyclists and hear our message are free to attend our celebra-tions at the Matsqui Recreation Centre (MRC) on Clearbrook road from 4:30-6pm on May 22nd.

B.C. named host province for FIFA Womens World Cup 2015

British Columbians have reason to cel-ebrate after todays announcement that the FIFA Womens World Cup Canada 2015 is coming to Vancouver, announced Ida Chong, Minister of Com-munity, Sport and Cultural Development.

The Canadian Soccer As-sociation, the sports gov-erning body in Canada, announced this morning that Vancouver, Edmon-ton, Montreal, Moncton, Ottawa and Winnipeg will all be host cities for the tournament, which is the largest womens sporting event in the world.

Matches will be held at BC Place stadium in 2015. Dates for the tournament have yet to be determined.

The FIFA Womens World Cup is expected to bring substantial economic ben-efits to the province, sur-passing the impact of the FIFA Mens U-20 World Cup Canada 2007, which held matches in both Burn-aby and Victoria. That tournament saw host cities realize economic benefits

of $5 million to $10 mil-lion each.

In support of the 2015 Womens World Cup, the Province is committing $2 million. The federal gov-ernment is contributing $12 million countrywide.

Quotes:Minister of Community, Sport and Culture Ida Chong:This is really exciting news for Vancouver and the entire province, espe-cially considering soccer is such a popular and inclusive sport in B.C.It will bring the best female athletes in soccer to Vancouver as well as many thousands of visi-tors to our province, con-tinuing our Olympic and Paralympic legacy. Our government is proud to support the FIFA Womens World Cup.

Quick Facts: The Canadian Soccer Association won the right to host the FIFA Womens World Cup 2015 in March 2011.

The FIFA Womens World Cup 2015 is the largest single-sport wom-ens championship and will host 24 teams from six federations. The Province also sup-ported the recent Womens Olympic Soccer Quali-fier in January 2012 with $250,000 in funding. That tournament saw Canada secure a place at the 2012 Olympic Games in Lon-don, England this summer and broke attendance re-cords for womens CON-CACAF tournaments. The Canadian womens national soccer team won a gold medal at the 2011 Pan Am Games in Guada-lajara, Mexico. The Canadian wom-ens national soccer team will head to the Olympic Games this summer with teams from Japan, Sweden and South Africa in their pool. According to participa-tion rates, soccer is the most popular and widely played sport in British Columbia.

Government action gives B.C. families and seniors a break

First-time home buy-ers can receive a cheque for up to $10,000 to help with the cost of buying a newly built home, and seniors who need permanent home renovations, to help them stay in their homes longer, will be assisted with the cost of those renovations through legislation intro-duced today by Finance Minister Kevin Falcon.Bill 45, the Income Tax Amendment Act, 2012, introduces legislation for the B.C. First-Time New Home Buyers Bonus and the B.C. Seniors Home

Renovation Tax Credit an-nounced in Budget 2012.First-time buyers of newly built homes may be eligible to receive the B.C. First-Time New Home Buyers Bonus of up to $10,000 giving families a break, while supporting the new-home construction sector. Individuals must apply for the bonus through the B.C. government. Bonus payments will be sent out as cheques in the mail.A new B.C. Seniors Home Renovation Tax Credit of up to $1,000 annually will be available to help with the cost of permanent home

renovations that provide British Columbians aged 65 and over with increased independence, allowing them the flexibility to re-main in their own homes longer. It will be available to individuals who incur eligible expenditures on or after April 1, 2012.The credit can be claimed by seniors, whether they own their home or rent, and by individuals who share a home with a senior, when individuals file their per-sonal income tax returns for 2012, and future years.

SURREY MLA RECOMMENDS BEING READY SHOULD A MAJOR DISASTER OCCUR

Surrey-Tynehead MLA Dave S. Hayer is raising awareness of the need to be prepared should a major emergency occur by reminding everyone that across the nation, May 6-12 has been declared Emergency Prepared-ness Week.We all know that British Columbia, and particularly the Lower Mainland and coastal regions of the province, are due for a significant earthquake, reminded Hayer.

Science tells us that a major earthquake will occur, and significant damage, pos-sible injuries and loss of lives will occur. Additionally, power and water supplies, hospitals, transportation routes, bridges and airports may be significantly damaged or even inoperable, noted Hayer.When disaster strikes explained Hayer, emergency workers may not reach every-one immediately, or even for several days. Families should be prepared to take care of themselves for a minimum of 72 hours. The impacts of any emergency or disaster can be lessened by knowing what to do before, during and after an emergency and by identifying the risks, having a plan and a kit prepared.Emergency Preparedness Week is a na-tional awareness campaign coordinated

by Public Safety Canada, in close col-laboration with the provinces, territories and municipal partners. Since 1996, the campaign has served to educate Canadians about the value of emergency planning and preparedness for emergencies and disasters of all kinds. British Columbia faces many hazards, most stemming from natural disasters. While the Province works closely with other levels of government to help ensure public-safety response and emergency management, safety begins at home with individual and family preparedness. During Emergency Preparedness Week, British Columbians are encouraged to take three simple steps to become better prepared to face a range of emergencies: Know the risks specific to your com-munity. Develop a family emergency plan and practice it. Prepare emergency kits for your home and your vehicle. To learn more about how you can be pre-pared for a disaster, visit the Emergency Management B.C. website at: www.pep.bc.ca and the Public Safety Canada website at: www.getprepared.gc.ca

Powerful job search tool a B.C. firstA new, powerful job-search tool is now available to make it easier for British Columbians to find jobs, making the Work-BC website an even more valu-able resource for those search-ing for work in our province, announced Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Innovation Pat Bell while touring a WorkBC Employment Services Centre in Victoria.

B.C. is a leader in using new job-search capabilities that provide job seekers with a

single portal to access job post-ings that are available within the provincial public service, posted directly to WorkBC by employers, and those ex-ternally imported from other job boards like Workopolis, Monster and company sites.

In addition, jobs that are also posted to the Service Canada Job Bank are available from this new site. This makes searching for jobs that much easier for job seekers, who can now access all postings

through one central search tool.

WorkBC is a one-stop web-site that empowers users to do more than find jobs it features interactive tools for users, they can explore careers and industry profiles, research labour and economic trends, access programs and benefits, and learn more about skills, training and funding available. It is a key customer-service de-liverable under Canada Starts Here: The BC Jobs Plan.

The WorkBC web project was funded through the Canada British Columbia Labour Mar-ket Development Agreement.

Quick Facts:

Through the new Employ-ment Program of B.C., unem-ployed British Columbians are receiving the services and supports they need to find and keep a job. Eighty-five WorkBC Employment Ser-vices Centres throughout the province offer a full suite of employment programs, while

ensuring quick and easy access through a single door. Over the next decade, British Columbia is projected to have over one million job openings. The BC Jobs Plan will ensure the over $500 million provided annually for labour market and training programs is targeted to meeting regional and industry labour market needs.o As part of this annual ex-penditure, B.C. invests ap-proximately $66 million a year between 2008 and 2014 in programs and services that

help people get the skills they need to fill job opportunities in regions where they live and study. These programs and services are funded through the Canada B.C. Labour Market Agreement (LMA).

o In 2012-13, the Ministry of Social Development will invest $343.5 million in em-ployment programs and ap-prenticeship training, of which nearly $280 million will come from the Canada B.C. Labour Market Development Agree-ment (LMDA).

This call for proposals un-der the New Horizons for Seniors Program (NHSP) was launched today by the Honourable Diane Finley, Minister of Human Re-sources and Skills Devel-opment, and the Honour-able Alice Wong, Minister of State (Seniors).

Our government is proud to support organizations that are dedicated to im-proving the lives of se-niors, said Minister Fin-ley. Through initiatives such as the NHSP, we help seniors stay active and encourage them to continue to participate in the social and economic life of Canada.

The New Horizons for Seniors Program helps seniors put their experi-ence to use through volun-teerism and mentorship, added Minister of State Wong. By investing in

these community projects, our government is improv-ing both the quality of life for Canadian seniors and their neighbourhoods.

NHSP community-based project funding enables se-niors to share their knowl-edge, skills and experienc-es with others and helps communities increase their capacity to address local issues. Eligible recipients can receive up to $25,000 in grant funding per year.

In 2011, the Government of Canada strengthened direct support to seniors by increasing the annual NHSP budget to $45 mil-lion. Through Economic Action Plan 2012, the Government is taking the necessary steps to ensure that Canadas social pro-grams remain sustainable now and into the future.

Government of Canada Launches Call for Proposals for Projects

Led and Inspired by SeniorsThe Government of Cana-da is seeking applications for projects to help seniors lead and participate in so-cial activities and contrib-ute to their communities.

Our Government is committed to keeping our streets and commu-nities safe. All too often, victims have told us they feel the criminals have all the rights. Weve lis-tened. And since taking office our Government has been working hard to restore balance to our criminal justice system, said Minister Toews.

Minister Toews an-nounced five new mea-sures relating to increas-ing offender account-ability, including:

a.. Increases to the amount inmates are charged for their room and board;

b.. Eliminating incen-tive pay for inmates working in CORCAN facilities;

c.. Streamlining and standardizing the pur-chase of inmate goods from outside suppliers;

d.. Transferring ac-countability for all in-stitutional canteens to Inmate Committees; and

e.. Ensuring adminis-trative costs associated with managing the in-mate telephone system are charged to the in-mate population. You use it you pay for it.

These measures are tangible steps forward

to hold criminals to account and will save taxpayers over $10 mil-lion each year going forward, said Minister Toews.

Minister Toews also expressed support for Roxanne James Private Members Bill C-293 An Act to amend the Corrections and Condi-tional Release Act (vex-atious complainants). The goal of the bill is to reduce vexatious com-plainants by preventing offenders from flooding Correctional Service of Canadas fair complaint system with meritless grievances.

Harper Government Takes Further Actions to Restore Balance in the Criminal Justice System

The Minister of Public Safety, the Honourable Vic Toews, announced

increased offender ac-countability measures to ensure the safety and security of victims and

law-abiding Canadians come first, while crimi-nals are held account-able for their actions.

City of Abbotsford Prepared for Spring Freshet

The City of Abbotsford is preparing for the spring freshet and rising river levels.

The snow pack is larger than usual, an-nounced Mayor Bruce Banman. We are expecting higher than usual water levels in all local rivers beginning late May and possibly lasting until mid-July. Our flood plan is in place and our staff are making preparations now.

The Citys Emergency Flood Planning Committee is holding weekly meetings to review flood response plans, emer-gency routes and resource coordination. Engineering is providing the lead role on flood operations and is working with Police, Fire Rescue Service, City depart-ments and outside agencies as required.

The City of Abbotsford has an extensive dyking network to protect the community from floods on the Fraser and Sumas River systems. The City inspects and maintains the dykes and related infra-structure on a routine basis to keep the system functioning as designed. Work was completed in 2007 on the Matsqui

Dyke, the Vedder Dyke and the dyking system at the JAMES Wastewater Plant.

All dykes are raised to the maximum pro-jected flood level advised by the Fraser Basin Council.

City staff are closely monitoring snow pack and runoff forecasts provided by the Ministry of Environment and the readings on the Mission Gauge, which is the main indicator of the rising water level of the Fraser River.

Detailed flood information is available on the Citys website at www.abbotsford.ca. This section of the website provides flood information for the Fraser River, including emergency planning and re-sponse, runoff conditions and informa-tion for residents living in the floodplain. Residents in the floodplain are advised to familiarize themselves with the flood preparedness information. The Citys flood plain map is also posted on the website.

A Flood Information Phone line is available at 604-864-5688 and will be updated as river conditions change.

Canadian housing starts unexpectedly surged in April

a.. Housing starts in-creased by 14.0% to an annualized pace of 244.9K in April

b.. The strong increase in overall housing starts was primarily the result of a 27.4% surge in urban mul-tiple starts, to 158.5K. Ur-ban singles starts remained essentially flat, rising 0.6%

to 67.7K. Rural starts fell by 19.0% to 18.7K.

c.. Regionally, the larg-est increases in urban starts were seen in Que-bec (+56.5%) and Ontario (+12.2%), although all re-gions posted increases. At-lantic Canada saw a 2.6% gain, while the Prairies and British Columbia each saw increases of 6.3%.

d.. Todays report showed that, following a robust first quarter, Canadian housing starts strength-ened even further in April. Factors such as the per-sistence of low mortgage rates may be contributing to the rapid pace of new building. While todays re-port presents some upside

Provincial regulations crack down on metal theft

New regulations will soon come into ef-fect to help reduce thefts of copper wire and other high-value metals, announced Shirley Bond, Minister of Justice and Attorney General.

The regulations follow the B.C. governments approval of Canadas first provincial metal theft law in November 2011.

Under the new regulations that will come into effect July 23, British Columbi-ans trying to sell metals of-ten targeted by thieves will need to present identifica-tion to the scrap purchaser, who will in turn share purchase details daily with police.

As well, purchasers who fail to register with the Province and fulfil record-

keeping and sharing re-quirements under the new law will risk fines of up to $100,000, as well as up to six months imprisonment.

The new regulations are the result of extensive consultations with utili-ties, municipalities and scrap metal dealers. They are designed to respond to the significant number of thefts that continue to incur tens of thousands of dollars worth of damage to utility and municipal assets across B.C., includ-ing copper telephone wire, manhole covers and sign posts. The Province has also worked with munici-palities to ensure the law and regulations comple-ment existing bylaws in a dozen B.C. communities.

The July 23 implementa-tion date will allow time

to educate metal dealers, recyclers and their custom-ers, and to ensure those who must register have time to do so. An estimated 60 to 70 dealers and recy-clers will be affected.

The law aims to greatly limit the resale market for stolen assets, through a strong regulatory regime backed by significant fines for non-compliance, and to ensure metal thieves are identified and prosecuted, through mandatory, strate-gic collaboration between regulated metal dealers and police.

The Province has also worked with the recycling industry to minimize as-sociated regulatory costs and protect the personal information of those who sell metal to scrap dealers.

Changes to Coastal Ferry Act set new course for ferries

In response to the independent BC Ferry Commis-sioners review, today government introduced amend-ments to the Coastal Ferry Act.

The governments vision is to connect coastal com-munities in an affordable, efficient and sustainable manner. Amendments to the act give the commis-sioner more flexibility to determine the amount of revenue needed to sustain operations and support ongoing investment. The commissioner will also be given additional responsi-bility to oversee the costs of providing the ferry ser-vice. These changes will

help reduce the pressure on fares.

Government agrees with the ferry commissioner that the interests of all parties must be reasonably balanced. Taxpayers, users and the ferry operator need to contribute to solutions that link coastal commu-nities affordably and ef-ficiently.

While these are tough eco-nomic times and fiscal dis-cipline must be maintained, government is committed to providing additional dollars to keep the system affordable. In addition to the legislative changes:

The government will increase its financial con-tribution to BC Ferries by

$79.5 million to reduce the pressure for higher fares.

BC Ferries will need to find efficiencies to reduce operating costs.

There will be signifi-cant adjustments to service levels, and discussions with communities about trade-offs among service adjustments, fare increases and potential community contributions.

In addition, government will seek public input to develop strategies to sup-port a vision for connecting coastal communities.

Coastal ferries are integral to the way of life for many British Columbians. For 52 years, British Colum-

bias ferries have moved people and goods along the coast. However, travel patterns, demographics and coastal communities have changed, affecting how the ferry system is used. Like ferry systems around the world, it faces challenges of maintaining ridership amid rising operating costs, and changing customer preferences. Some routes in the current ferry system

operate at less than 30 per cent of capacity, and some routes are losing millions of dollars despite annual government contributions. Without changes, the sys-tem is at considerable risk.

To ensure British Colum-bians have safe and reliable coastal transportation for future generations, long-term strategies will be de-veloped and implemented.

Future investments will look at providing greater interoperability of ferries between routes, reducing operating costs by imple-menting new technologies, such as LNG-fuelled and cable ferries, and allowing for alternative methods to connect coastal communi-ties, such as passenger-on-ly ferries and other service improvements.
