People are frustrated after years

Our government will take concrete action to give people relief from excessive fees and rising costs to help make life better and make sure people have the opportunities they need to succeed.” The throne speech announced the start of the largest investment in affordable housing in this province’s history, including social housing, student housing, seniors housing, Indigenous housing and affordable

Students to benefit from funding to support teacher hiring

o make sure students are getting the support they need in the classroom, government is taking action to assist school districts with recruitment and retention challenges. “School districts have successfully hired thousands of teachers to meet the needs of our students, and we need to ensure they can continue on that path,” said Education Minister Rob Fleming. “We are investing to train more than 100 new specialist teachers in the highest-demand fields, so students can continue to thrive and benefit from quality teaching.” The actions are in response to recommendations made by an expert task force appointed by the Minister of Education to identify immediate actions that can be taken to help address teacher workforce challenges facing school districts, while long-term solutions are sought. Immediate actions government is taking include: Creating more than 100 additional spaces in teacher education programs over the next two years. These spaces will produce qualified special education, French language, secondary math and physics teachers, and help meet some of the highest demand for teachers.

the focus on increasing Indigenous teachers and specialist teachers is very welcome. The BCTF will continue to work with the government to implement more of the task force’s recommendations.” “The BCSSA is immensely proud of the work done by school districts in managing the addition of more than 3,500 teachers across the province,” said Chris van der Mark, superintendent, Bulkley Valley School District and task force member. “The BCSSA appreciates government’s support, complementing the expertise and leadership provided by BCPSEA to ensure districts can continue to develop and maintain effective recruitment and retention practices beneficial to public education.” While hiring efforts have been largely successful, they have exacerbated existing teacher recruitment and retention challenges facing some school districts. The task force received the findings of a recent survey, where 54 school districts identified some difficulties

finding and retaining learning assistance teachers, teacher librarians, counsellors, senior science and math teachers, and French teachers. Some districts also have reported challenges finding substitute teachers, due to depleted Teachers Teaching on Call (TTOC) lists and the increasing number of TTOC’s not accepting assignments. Recruitment and retention challenges can be greater for rural school districts, but the MOA amplified the challenges for all districts. To address these long-term recruitment and retention challenges, government is supporting a comprehensive review of the labour market challenges, to be conducted by BCPSEA. The project is funded through the Canada British Columbia Labour Market Development Agreement as a Sector Labour Market Partnerships project. The study will specifically look at the long-term labour market outlook for specialty positions, rural and remote teachers and teachers on call. The findings will inform strategies to provide solutions to these challenges.

Clark, first met Barrett when he was nineteen helping with his campaign on Vancouver East in 1976. Barrett, left an impressionable mark with the young Clark, who would a decade later enter the political arena himself to represent the same riding and the two would remain close friends for decades. Clark recalls, when he stepped down as premier it was Barrett, who came out and helped and phoned Jimmy Pattison, where he currently serves as the President of The Jim Pattison Group. Former local MLA Dennis Streifel and Barrett, were also good friends and had good working relationships.

Kids still living at home? Help them take the next step. (NC) Between a competitive economy and an expensive housing market, today’s young people are staying in the nest longer than ever before.While this trend can offer certain benefits to parents and kids living under the same roof, there are positive ways you can encourage your children to take the next step in their lives and careers. Here are some ideas for parents of kids in post-secondary and beyond.

Set clear house rules. You want to be your children’s parent, not their roommate. Set boundaries and responsibilities that help them understand exactly what goes into running a household, which will prepare them for when they do leave the nest. Decide who will purchase the groceries each week, and establish what they need to do to contribute to certain expenses. Beyond doing their own laundry, make sure your kids are contributing to chores that benefit everyone in the household, Create a realistic plan. Work together like preparing dinner, shoveling snow to set key goals and milestones that are or making repairs. achievable. For example, if their goal is to find a job, strategize on how to Encourage a working holiday or internget the ball rolling. Career counselling ship.

As I walked through the convention centre prior to the evening officially getting underway, it was safe to say that most everyone was confident how the evening would begin, but not at all confident how it would end.

With the elimination of Sullivan and de Jong, this is where the evening began to shift. It was anticipated early-on that the final race would come down to Dianne Watts and one of the other three remaining nominees – but who would actually make it in Most everyone in the room anticito the top two? pated that Sam Sullivan would be the first person out of the contest.

Finally, Andrew Wilkinson, whose In the same way most everyone in political history included serving as the room anticipated Sullivan would President of the BC Liberal Party bebe out first, a similar consensus exfore getting elected as an MLA, was isted that Mike de Jong would be out said to have a strong base of support second.

On the one hand – believing we are defined by the company we keep – and having a great many reservations about Mike de Jong I, like former BC Liberal Cabinet Minister Bill Bennett, was disappointed that Wilkinson chose to make an ‘arrangement’ with de Jong regarding first and second ballots. On the other hand, I was encouraged when, in his victory speech, Wilkinson talked about building on the narratives established by Mike Lee and Todd Stone; both of whom campaigned on the importance of redefining the BC Liberal Party.

Perhaps it’s generational, perhaps it’s because the topic of leadership has grown in to a scholarly topic, or perhaps it’s a little bit of both, but the reality is that the notion of leadership and engagement has changed and organizations (and their leaders) must adapt their approach to accommodate and make the most of these changes.

These examples, interesting enough, perfectly illustrate the notions of ‘old guard’ versus ‘new guard’ that served as an underlying theme throughout the leadership contest. The question therefore becomes: when it’s time to turn words in to actions, how will Wilkinson lead? Granted, only As for Wilkinson himself, though I time will tell, but suffice it to say the remain somewhat unsettled because following can be said about how he of what feels like a push-and-pull ought to lead. battle between the past and the future, First and foremost – as I have writ- I will say that since becoming leader ten about before – it is imperative he has already taken some positive that the essence of the BC Liberal and encouraging steps that leave me party changes.

You will move out of the realm, which has affected you for the last 3 years, where it has been difficult to know the level of appreciation others really have for your efforts or to know where you stand. You will certainly get more attention in the next 3 years but need to be mindful of just how much responsibility you take on.

Greater attention to detail will be required of you over the next 3 years, which could inhibit your natural skill to take things as they come or deal with them at the time. If you embrace this you can develop the ability to speed up processes through greater efficiency. Praise can be lacking so you need to be content with yourself.

The greater your focus has been in the last 3 years on getting a good foundation in place with any set of circumstances in your life, including family, the more you can enjoy the rewards in the next 3 years. With this can come a greater sense of peace or the ability to relax. Responsibilities involving young people can be important.

Things you have learnt, which can include study or information you have gathered over the last 3 years now take you to the next stage of committing yourself during the next 3 years. You now have to get serious about what you are putting in place because it will form a foundation for a long period of time. It can include family.

There has been a need to apply sense and caution to your personal finances during the last 3 years. What you have learned from this can now open up your mind to all sorts of ideas and possibilities during the next 3 years. To your birthday 2018, you need to keep any sense of impulse under control to make the most of future growth

Saturn moves on from your sign where it has been for the last 3 years putting you under pressure to be serious and responsible and perhaps bringing restrictions into your life. This will now be the case with your finances during the next 3 years. You can do extremely well here as long as you are not wasteful. Fall back on your newfound maturity that should have developed in the last 3 years.

Saturn, your ruling planet, moves into your sign where it will remain for the next 3 years. This will provide plenty of opportunity for you to be successful with any situation you are prepared to commit yourself to. You have natural tendencies towards serious commitment and this can pay hansom dividends, though you might need to teach others to be more responsible, rather than you doing it for them.

Life has directed you to focus in a serious way on priorities that need to be most important in your life during the last 3 years. You have likely changed your view on these as well. During the next 3 years you will need a lot of patience as progress might seem held back as you will need to withdraw a lot for deep considerations.

Commitments and responsibilities have put you under a lot of pressure during the last 3 years. At times it probably felt like overload. As a result, this will now take you to the stage of becoming more acutely aware of what should take priority, based on what you wish to get out of life. These decisions need to come from you.

You should review what you have learned about commitments involving others in the last 3 years and the pressure you might have experienced as a result.

From Balwant Sanghera’s Desk

t is always a pleasure to visit place of our birth. This time it was no exception. My wife Baldev had an opportunity to and I along with some family friends were happy to iland in New Delhi on February3 after a visit Shaheed Bhagat long flight from Vancouver via Beijing. The immigration and Customs clearance was quick. Singh Memorial in Thus, we were on our way to Punjab in the early hours. I noticed that there are more Dhabas his native village and resorts along National Highway One also known as G.T.Road than before .So our first stop of Khatkar Kalan for breakfast was at a dhaba named Jhilmil couple of hours drive out of New Delhi.The mooli couple of kilometers and alloo paranthas with makhni were delicious. The accompanying spicey tea was very timely f r o m B a n g a o n and enjoyable. We arrived in my ancestral village Pharwala in early afternoon. Prior to that we t h e P h a g w a r a t o Nawanshahr road. It is a very fitting tribute to the respected revolutionary who sacrificed his life for the freedom of India. We were informed by the museum caretakers that a much bigger facility to replace the current premises is almost ready. That will be a very fitting tribute to the memory of all of Shaheed Bhagat Singh's Home the freedom fighters who gave up their lives for India’s freedom. Since our arrival here the weather has been very good. It is a bit cooler in

the morning and evening but very pleasant during the day. Some of the major stories in the news include jockeying for political alliances for the 2019 national elections. Both the ruling BJP and Opposition Congress are trying to out manoeuvre each other in this process. Provincially, farmers’ loan waiver is a big news. For example, The Tribune newspaper in its February 5 edition devoted one full page to this issue headlined: When death is the only escape. It is very sad saga of farmers young and old taking their lives as the only way out of debt. The provincial government’s debt waiver scheme may be a bit too late and too little for some of them. However, for the public as a whole life goes on despite a number of problems like this. More vehicles on the road are adding to traffic congestion and pollution. Most of the Punjabis don’t seem to be too concerned about these issues.

One-third of baby-boomers helping millennials buy real estate

O ne-third of Canadian b ab yboom ers – and more in Metro Vancouver – plan to give ‘living inheritances’ to their adult children specifically to help them b uy real estate, a new survey has found. Sotheby’ s International Realty Canada’s latest Generational Trends Report analyz es a Mustel Group survey of more than 2,0 Canadians aged 52 to 71 carried out in O ctob er 2 0 17 , and says that this group – which makes up more than 3 0 per cent of the population – is highly influential on the real estate market.

influencers through their financial support of next generation home buye rs. Anecdotally, we have known that funds from the ‘Bank of Mom and Dad’ have been flowing into the market – this new report sheds light onto some of the critical details.”

It found that one-third of b oomers plan to transfer wealth – within their own lifetimes – to their beneficiaries (mostly their adult children) with the specific purpose of helping them b uy real estate. This proportion increases to 36 per cent in the Vancouver region. The median age of recipients of these “living inheritances” is 30 to 34 at Brad Henderson, president and the time of receiving the gift. CE O of Sotheb y’s International Realty Canada, said, “Bab y In addition, a similar proportion boomers affect the Canadian of b oomers plan to b equeath real estate market on multiple money for real estate purchases levels: as direct consumers in their wills – meaning the who drive housing demand and adult children of two-thirds of product mix, as arb iters of mar- b ab y-b oomers can expect to reket confidence, and as indirect ceive a lump sum at some point.

The median amount gifted for real estate purchases is b etween $2 5,0 0 0 to $4 9 ,9 9 9 in the Vancouver, Calgary and Toronto metropolitan areas. Broken down b y b oomers’ household incomes, the median amount given b y those with incomes under $100,0 is around $25,00, with 72 per cent of gifts coming in under $50,0, whereas only 53 per cent of gifts from those with incomes over $100,0 were for less $50 ,0 0 0 . A surprising 2 0 per cent of those high-earners gave b etween $10 0 ,0 0 0 and $500,0. The Sotheby’ s report said that that “this transfer of wealth is opening doors to homes and b orrowing options otherwise unavailab le to many recipients. ” Across Canada, 4 4 per cent of boom ers who have

given, or intend to give, a living inheritance said they b elieve that their recipients would not have be en, or will not be , abl e to b uy a home without that gift. Sotheb y’s also asked b oomers ab out the performance of their real estate assets compared with other investments. Unsurprisingly, 61 per cent of respondents – and 72 per cent of Vancouver-area respondents – said that their real estate assets had outperformed other investments. Three-quarters of Canadian boom ers said they recommend that the next generation of prospective home b uyers purchase real estate in their city. Interestingly, this drops to a still-high 6 per cent among Vancouver respondents, perhaps due to
