Fraser Health enhances HPV immunization campaign to protect students from future cancers
Fraser Health has enhanced its Human Papillomavirus (HPV) immunization campaign to offer the vaccine to all eligible students in Grades 6 through 12, providing additional opportunities for students who may have missed earlier vaccinations to get immunized. This enhanced initiative aligns with B.C.’s provincial cancer action plan and is aimed at providing crucial protection against HPV, a common infection linked to several types of cancer.
“HPV vaccination is highly effective, offering over 95 percent protection when administered at a young age,” says Dr. Maulik Baxi, Fraser Health medical health officer. “Vaccinating students before exposure to the virus provides maximum protection and helps reduce the long-term risk of cancers, including cervical cancer, which is largely caused by HPV. Early vaccination is key to ensuring a healthier future for our communities.”
The HPV vaccine is routinely offered to students in Grade 6 in B.C., and this year Fraser Health is enhancing its in-school immunization clinics to provide a catchup opportunity for students in Grades 7 to 12 who may have missed the vaccine. If students in these grades miss their inschool immunization clinic, they can still get immunized at their local public health unit, community pharmacies, or through some primary care providers. Students in Grades 7 to 12 who haven’t been immunized for HPV will receive a letter from Fraser Health with information about the immunization process.
HPV is a common infection. It is spread through the mouth and through skin-toskin contact during sexual activity and can affect anyone, regardless of sex, gender or sexual orientation.
The HPV vaccine is available at no cost to youth ages 9 to 18 in B.C. Some people over 18 may also be eligible for the free vaccine. In addition to in-school clinics, immunization is available at community pharmacies, public health units, and some primary care providers. For adults not eligible for a free vaccine, the vaccine is available for purchase at most pharmacies and travel clinics.

Ford Mustang RTR and Mustang GTD Spirit of America Previews
ABBOTSFORD DENTAL CENTRE
Detroit 2025 – Ford recently previewed the second new Mustang performance model in two years ahead of the 2025 Detroit Auto Show with a dynamic demonstration of the new Mustang RTR. Driven by Mustang Icon, two-time drift champion, and RTR Vehicles President and Founder, Vaughn Gittin, Jr., the new Mustang RTR is the most exciting enthusiast focused turbocharged Mustang ever.
In addition to the various motorsport projects and demonstrator vehicles Ford and RTR have collaborated on, RTR previously helped develop Mustang’s class-exclusive available drift brake on current seventh-generation Mustang Performance Packages, which brings even more track-based performance to Mustang with options for every level of driver who wants to smoke some tires and practice their reverse entry cornering on the racetrack.
Drawing on the RTR team’s experience winning multiple Formula Drift championships and sharing performance parts with Mustang Dark Horse – and on the 18-year partnership between Vaughn Gittin Jr., and Ford – Mustang RTR gives customers another thrilling option alongside Mustang GT Performance Package, Mustang Dark Horse, and Mustang GTD. It brings new style and dynamic driving capabilities to Mustang EcoBoost, as hinted at by the demonstration car’s Hyper Lime Brembo brake calipers and Dark Carbonized Gray pedestal spoiler.
Mustang RTR also represents only the second time in Mustang’s history that Ford has sold a performance model co-created with an outside partner and offered from the factory.
The production electronic drift brake fuses the rear-wheel-drive drifting capability of Mustang with the visual appeal and functionality of a traditional, mechanical hand brake.
“If it involves driving fast or having fun, Ford is giving Mustang customers the tools to do it,” said Mustang Brand Manager Joe Bellino. “From Drift Brake to Line Lock to Mustang Unleashed and the new features coming to Mustang RTR, Ford won’t stop innovating with Mustang.”
In 1962, a small team set out to turn a compact sedan into a sporty car called “Mustang.” It beat Europe’s best in its first race and hasn’t looked back, becoming the first car
from an American automaker to lap Germany’s famed Nürburgring in less than 7 minutes. To celebrate these accomplishments and more, Ford recently debuted the Mustang GTD Spirit of America at the .
To bring Mustang GTD Spirit of America to life, Ford Design has created a Performance White body with twin racing stripes in Race Red and Lightning Blue, mimicking the iconic red, white, and blue Mustang tribar that debuted in 1964. The stripes run the length of the Mustang GTD Spirit of America’s body. The design also matches the overalls that Craig Breedlove wore when he broke both the 500- and 600-mile-per-hour barriers in the 1960s.
Exposed carbon fiber is a primary element on the Mustang GTD Spirit of America’s aerodynamic elements, including the front splitter, as well as on the rear diffuser and spoiler. That spoiler includes Race Red end plates and a “MUSTANG” wordmark on the underside, leaving no doubt for trailing cars about what just passed them. Owners have a
choice of Race Red or exposed carbon-fiber mirror caps, while Race Red calipers are standard. Additionally, the Mustang GTD Performance Package is standard.
Mustang GTD Spirit of America features a package-specific seat option to present a unique take on the focused, all-glass cockpit. The seats are leather trimmed with Dinamica inserts. Black Onyx features prominently, with a Race Red gradient stripe down the middle and Re-Entry White trimmings on the exterior, while Victory Blue contrast stitching provides a subtle pop of color. Victory Blue also appears as a contrast element throughout the cabin. The paddle shifters, shift ring, and IP badge are available in 3D-printed titanium, as well.
The all-new 2025 Mustang GTD, including Mustang GTD Spirit of America, is the apex of any Mustang ever engineered by Ford. It sets a new performance bar with 815 horsepower, 664 pound-feet of torque and a top speed of 202 miles per hour, the most of any streetlegal Mustang ever.

Provincial Grant Secures Critical Flood Protection Infrastructure for Merritt
The City of Merritt has secured $4.85 million in provincial funding to construct the Voght Street Overland Water Pumping Station, a key component of its Flood Mitigation Plan (2022). The funding, provided through the Community Emergency Preparedness Fund (CEPF) – Disaster Risk Reduction grant, marks a significant step forward in safeguarding the community from future flooding events.

The Voght Street Pump Station is a crucial piece of infrastructure that will help manage stormwater during extreme weather events. While dikes prevent river water from flooding into the city, they also create a barrier, preventing rain and stormwater from draining back into the river. This new pump station will ensure efficient water flow, reducing the risk of localized flooding.
“This funding is a critical step forward for Merritt as we continue to strengthen our community’s resilience to disasters and adapt to a changing climate,” says City of Merritt Mayor Michael Goetz. “The grant will allow us to invest in vital infrastructure, including the Voght Street Overland Water Pumping Station, which will safeguard residents, businesses, and a vital provincial transportation corridor. We are deeply grateful to the Province of British Columbia for supporting our efforts to create a safer, more sustainable future for our city.”
The City of Merritt’s Flood Mitigation Plan outlines a multi-phase approach to protecting the community from future disasters. However, many components remain unfunded. The approval of this grant represents a major
milestone, as the Voght Street Pump Station previously had no secured funding source. Similar pump stations have been successfully integrated into flood mitigation systems in other communities, such as Grand Forks, demonstrating their effectiveness in protecting urban areas.
This City of Merritt pump station project will proceed once dike alignments are confirmed, and engineering work can begin. As a 100% provincially funded initiative, the CEPF grant will cover all costs, with 50% of the funding advanced upfront and the remainder paid as work progresses.
While this funding is a significant win, the City of Merritt’s flood mitigation system remains incomplete. The city continues to seek additional funding sources, including the federal Disaster Mitigation and Adaptation Fund (DMAF), to advance its broader flood protection efforts. The City of Merritt’s #MerrittSafe e-petition E-5135 campaign has rallied the community to advocate for federal funding. A key component of the campaign is an e-petition urging the federal government to address the funding gap and ensure the safety and resilience of the entire community. The community successfully procured over 661 signatures, enabling MP Dan Albas to present Merritt’s plight to the House of Commons.

Small businesses spend over 250 hours or 32 business days a year wrapped up in red tape
In 2024, small businesses spent a whopping 735 hours complying with regulation, finds a new report by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) released today in partnership with Intuit QuickBooks as part of the Red Tape Awareness WeekTM. Over a third of that (256 hours or about 32 business days) is spent on red tape that could be eliminated without compromising public health and safety.
The time spent on red tape specifically has increased by 35% since 2020, from 189 hours in 2020 to 256 in 2024.
“Business owners lose an entire month’s worth of productivity to filling out lengthy or redundant forms, navigating mazes of government websites, and deciphering government jargon. That is crucial time that could be better spent on activities like training staff, planning business expansions, serving customers or even spending time with family,” said Emily Boston, Senior Policy Analyst. “As governments at all levels look for solutions to Canada’s productivity problem, eliminating regulatory barriers and giving small business owners their time back needs to be a top priority.”
In addition to lost time, regulatory compliance also comes with a big price tag.
In 2024, Canadian businesses faced compliance costs totaling approximately $51.5 billion, a significant increase of 13.5% or $5 billion from CFIB's 2020 estimate ($45.4 billion). Business owners attribute a substantial portion—35%, or $17.9 billion—of these costs to red tape, up from $12.7 billion in 2020. Higher wages and professional fees, along with an increase in time spent on compliance, are driving the rise in costs.
Small businesses also face a higher regulatory burden than their larger counterparts, paying over five times more per employee. In 2024, businesses with fewer than five
employees spent $10,208 per employee on regulatory compliance, while businesses with 100 or more employees spent $1,374.
Smaller firms also spent 198 hours per employee on compliance, compared to just eight hours for those with over 100 employees.
Business owners indicated that savings from regulatory reductions could be used to expand operations, hire more employees, increase wages, and improve worklife balance, all of which could contribute to greater productivity and economic growth.
“Small business owners don’t get into business to be government compliance experts. Red tape discourages entrepreneurship, stagnates economic growth and overall, is a lose-lose situation for businesses and consumers alike. Eliminating unnecessary regulatory compliance would free up over 200 million hours across the economy for more productive activities,” said Ryan Mitton, Director of Legislative Affairs. “Imagine what an entrepreneur could do if they got just over a month back. If Canada wants to improve its productivity and economic competitiveness, it must put a renewed focus on cutting red tape.”
Actionable steps to reduce red tape
An overwhelming majority (87%) of small business owners said that excessive government regulations significantly reduce their business’s productivity and ability to grow. With a looming threat from the U.S. tariffs, our governments need to focus on boosting Canada’s productivity and competitiveness.
CFIB put together a 10-point plan with practical ways for governments to reduce red tape, which includes measuring the regulatory burden, staying accountable to the public, prioritizing plain and simple language, and making regulatory accountability a political priority.

In contemporary times, with an increasingly fast-paced lifestyle and a modern approach to healing tactics, we unknowingly keep accumulating micro assaults on our immune system without allowing our body to address them. Here’s how the ancient albeit simple practices of yoga can be utilised to boost our immunity and lead a healthier life.
The human body to a great extent is a self-regulating, preserving, repairing and maintaining entity. Nature has designed this wonderful machinery with an inherent capability to heal; provided the natural laws of healing are allowed to operate, our health is in its entirety, a natural outcome of all the encounters we have in life. This healing capacity that we are endowed with is called vitality or immunity. Our body has a self-reliant system of protecting its tissues against assaults by bacteria, viruses, harmful proteins and oxidative stress through an interplay of nervous, endocrine and immune systems.
In today’s world, these systems are constantly challenged due to our fast-paced lifestyle, stress, unhealthy eating habits and a lot of exposure to pathogens. Yoga asanas and pranayama can reduce stress and improve the body’s immune response to fight infections and allergies. Yogic practices have been known to improve human body’s immunity.
Yoga and immunity
Yoga can help to modulate this immune response in an appropriate way. Yoga as a mind-body intervention has been used globally to combat these lifestyle-related diseases where stress is believed to play a role. Yoga helps calm down the mind, bring stability and balance the vital energies. Studies have shown yoga to improve immunity in the population during influenza epidemics. Yoga is a system of holistic living, having its roots in Indian traditions and culture. It is a discipline to develop one’s inherent power in a balanced manner. Now it is being practiced as a part of healthy lifestyle. Yoga is popular globally because of its spiritual values, therapeutic credentials, its role in the prevention of diseases, promotion of health and management of lifestyle-related disorders.
Immunity The Natural Way
Dr Raghavendra Rao
One of the most useful and popular mode of yogic exercises which provides the benefits of Asanas, Pranayama and Mudras altogether is the Surya Namaskar. It consists of a series of twelve postures which are performed early in the morning facing the rising Sun. Each step of Surya Namaskar is accompanied by regulation of breath. Its regular practice energises all systems of the body and ensures perfect harmony between them. It makes the body flexible and improves immunity. Our body has its own set of immuno-responses, amongst them, inflammation is the most common. A natural counter which is often helpful when it comes to healing injuries and infections, inflammation often becomes chronic under constant psychological and physical stress, thereby weakening our immune system. Most asanas involve systematic stretching that alleviates inflammation and increases flexibility. The immunity-boosting capabilities of even basic yogic practices also find mention in a new research published in the Journal of Behavioural Medicine. Today, even Western researchers vouch for yoga’s benefits. The Harvard Medical School Guide to Yoga: 8 Weeks to Strength, Awareness, and Flexibility, says that regular practice of yoga can lead to greater muscle and bone strength, improved sleep, better stress management and resilience, strengthened immune system and enriched brain health.
Nadi Shodhana Pranayama (Alternate Nostril Breathing):
The main characteristic feature of Nadi Shodhana Pranayama is alternate breathing through the left and right nostrils without or with retention of breath (kumbhaka). Sit in a comfortable posture. Keep the spine and head straight with eyes closed. Relax the body with a few deep breaths. Keep the left palm on the left knee in Jnana mudra and the right palm should be in Nasagra mudra. Place the ring and small fingers on the left nostril and fold the middle and index finger. Place the right thumb on the right nostril. Open the left nostril, breathe in from the left nostril, close the left nostril with the small and ring fingers and release the thumb from the right nostril; exhale through the right
nostril. Next, inhale through the right nostril. At the end of inhalation, close the right nostril, open the left nostril and exhale through it. This completes one round of the Nadi Shodhana Pranayama (Alternate Nostril Breathing). Repeat for another 4 rounds. The duration of inhalation and exhalation should be equal for beginners. Breathing should be slow, steady and controlled and not be forced or restricted.
Benefits of Pranayama
The main goal of Pranayama is to nourish the body as a whole by cleansing the main channels that distribute energy throughout it. In addition to boosting vitality and lowering stress and anxiety levels, this technique promotes calmness and improves focus. Pranayama can also help with coughing, mental calmness, and concentration. Its advantages go beyond boosting immunity, making it a comprehensive strategy for general health.
Cleansing with krias
Cleansing techniques called kriyas also help in removing excess mucous and restore mucosal immunity. Shatkriyas are yogic cleansing techniques used to purge the internal organs and systems of the body. These are a part of the process of detoxification. These techniques are classified into six divisions as under: Neti (nasal washing); Dhauti (stomach washing); Basti (colon washing); Kapalbhati (purificatory yogic breathing); Nauli (isolation of abdominal recti muscles) and Trataka (yogic visual gaze).
These kriyas cleanse, activate and revitalise organs and develop deep internal awareness. The practice of Surya Namaskara, deep breathing exercises, pranayama, meditation and deep relaxation is also highly beneficial. Pranayama is the fourth constituent of Ashtanga yoga, which deals with the regulation of Prana and energy, grossly translated as breath. It is a practice which helps to regulate vital energies through the regulation of breathing. The main purpose of Pranayama is to gain control over the autonomous nervous system and through it to influence the mental functions. Regular practice of Pranayama makes the mind calm.
Understanding immunity
Though exposure to pathogens help build adaptive immunity, surviving such an exposure
may sometimes become fatal. Research has shown that there is a heterogeneity in susceptibility to infections during a flu epidemic. Psychologic stress, fitness and physical activity, nutrition, sleep, comorbid conditions and lifestyle play a vital role in shaping this immune response. A growing body of evidence identifies stress as a co-factor in infectious disease susceptibility and outcomes. It has been suggested that the effects of stress on the immune system may mediate the relationship between stress and infectious disease. Stress increases stress hormones that dampen immune response and also reduce the ability of the cells to repair the damage caused due to infections.
Meditate on wellness
The process of keeping one’s attention focussed with sustained concentration on an object is commonly known as meditation. It is an integral part of all yogic practices and is beneficial for psychological and spiritual growth. Over the years, the stress relieving benefits of regular meditation have been known to achieve a sense of calm which has a positive impact on an individual’s health and promotes a healthy lifestyle. It has been known to be beneficial when it comes to overcoming addictions of tranquilizers, reducing hypertension, insomnia, migraines, depression, anxiety, and other psychosomatic illnesses. It stabilises the mind, increases awareness, concentration and will power while simultaneously improving memory and alertness. It is an effective tool for rejuvenation of the mind, body and soul, and even helps in coping with the stressful situations of everyday life.

Premier announces immediate response, vows to defend B.C.
Premier David Eby is announcing immediate counter-measures to stand up for B.C.’s workers and businesses after the United States announced incoming 25% tariffs on Canadian goods and 10% tariffs on energy.
“President Trump’s 25% tariffs are a complete betrayal of the historic bond between our countries and a declaration of economic war against a trusted ally,” said Premier Eby. “As British Columbians, and as Canadians, we will stand strong and united in the face of this unprecedented attack.”
As a first step in response to the tariffs, Premier Eby announced immediate measures, including:
directing the BC Liquor Distribution Branch to immediately stop buying American liquor from “red states”, and remove the top-selling “red-state” brands from the shelves of public liquor stores; and directing the B.C. government and Crown corporations to buy Canadian goods and services first.
The Province is assessing private-sector projects worth $20 billion with the goal of getting them approved as quickly as possible, and issuing their permits faster. These are expected to create 6,000 jobs in remote and rural communities. In addition, the Province has vowed to support and help implement the actions being taken by the federal government.
Premier Eby added that additional measures are under consideration by B.C. and could be introduced in the coming days and weeks.
“We won’t back down or be bullied into becoming another state,” said Premier Eby. “Our province is unified and resolute. We'll never stop standing up for B.C. and Canada.”
In January 2025, B.C. released its preliminary assessment of 25% tariffs. That analysis showed that B.C. could see a cumulative loss of $69 billion in economic activity between 2025 and 2028, along with the loss of more than 120,000 jobs. Estimates also indicated 25% tariffs on
Canadian mineral exports alone will cost American companies over US$11 billion and have a profound effect on the U.S. defense industry, energy production, and manufacturing.
The B.C. government has a three-point approach to fight back against the tariffs and protect British Columbians:
respond to U.S. tariffs with tough counter-actions and outreach to American decision-makers;
strengthen B.C.’s economy by expediting projects and supporting industry and workers; and
diversify trade markets for products so British Columbia is less reliant on U.S. markets and customers.
To support B.C.’s strong tariff response and ensure actions are swift, responsive and co-ordinated, Premier Eby has estab-
lished a trade and economic security task force to bring together business, labour and Indigenous leadership. The task force is co-chaired by Tamara Vrooman from the Vancouver International Airport, Jonathan Price from Teck, Bridgitte Anderson from the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade, and includes B.C.’s largest business organizations.
A new cabinet committee will act as a day-to-day war room, co-ordinating the whole-of-government approach the Province is taking to protect B.C.’s workers, businesses and economy.
BC Wildfire Service crews welcomed home from California
BC Wildfire Service (BCWS) crews have returned to B.C. after two weeks supporting the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) with wildfire fighting efforts in Los Angeles.
“In times of need, we will always be there for our friends; that’s who we are as British Columbians and as Canadians,” said Ravi Parmar, Minister of Forests. “Firefighters don’t ask questions, they run into fires. I want to express my deepest gratitude to each of the crew members who made the trip south.”
On Jan. 11, 2025, the BCWS deployed a senior management team of 13 technical specialists to support CAL FIRE’s efforts to control the fast-moving Palisades wildfire. Working directly alongside the
American incident management team, B.C.’s team supported in planning, logistics, operations, aviation, fire weather and information roles.
“BCWS members integrated into the team, supporting various incident command system positions,” said David Scheurich, staff chief, CAL FIRE. “This collaboration highlighted differences in processes, paving the way for greater future integration between the agencies. As wildfires grow larger and more destructive worldwide, partnerships like these are essential, and we are grateful to our B.C. partners and all the other states and countries that lent their support.”
In addition, 22 front-line personnel and one agency represen -
tative from the BCWS arrived on Jan. 16, 2025, to provide a variety of wildland firefighting support roles. This crew participated in fire-readiness activities, rehabilitation work and front-line wildfire suppression on the Eaton and Hughes wildfires.
The top priority for the BCWS in California was to support CAL FIRE with expertise and personnel. They also gained valuable experience managing large fires in the wildland urban interface, which is the area where wilderness meets communities.
Working alongside American firefighters, B.C. crews were able to integrate with their operations and build familiarity with the terrain and processes by conducting response scenarios. This included dispatching, mapping, building a fire line with a variety of hand tools and fire-suppression techniques without the availability of water. By working together and co-ordinating proc

The Province welcomes new Lieutenant Governor
Premier David Eby offered his congratulations to Wendy Cocchia, CM, OBC, LLD (Hon), on being sworn in on Thursday, Jan. 30, 2025, as British Columbia’s 31st Lieutenant Governor.
“It is my honour to welcome Wendy Cocchia as the new Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia,” Premier David Eby said. “Her lifelong leadership and exemplary dedication to community service are examples for us all. I wish her the greatest success in fulfilling her important role as vice-regal representative.”
Her Honour swore the Oath of Allegiance and the Oaths of Office at an installation ceremony at the Parliament Buildings. The oaths were administered by Chief Jus-
tice Leonard Marchand before an audience including family, friends, First Nations leaders, dignitaries and members of the legislative assembly.
The lieutenant governor’s standard was raised atop the flagpole at the Parliament Buildings as part of a venerable tradition.
One of the Lieutenant Governor’s first acts was to inspect a 50-person Guard of Honour provided by Maritime Forces Pacific and Canadian Forces Base Esquimalt. Her Honour was accompanied by Lt.-Cmdr Marjorie Gaulin-Riffou.
The Naden Band of the Royal Canadian Navy played The Vice-Regal Salute, which consists of the six opening bars of God Save the King, followed by the four opening and four closing bars of O Canada.
A 15gun salute was fired by troopers of the 5th (British Columbia) Field Regiment, Royal Canadian Artillery.
The lieutenant governor is appointed by the governor general on the advice of the prime minister,
usually serving a term of at least five years.
Her Honour succeeds Janet Austin, OBC, who was sworn in on April 24, 2018, as the monarch’s representative in British Columbia.

As the APF celebrates its 20th Anniversary, these new board members will help support and expand its mission. The generosity and expertise of passionate volunteers like them are key to the success of this growing not-forprofit organization.
In 2024, the Abbotsford Police Foundation hosted the annual signature fundraiser Crime is Toast – Breakfast with the Chief in October and supported the AbbyPD Movie Night in the Park during the summer. In December the AbbyPD City Basketball Tournament and the Trees of Hope at Sevenoaks Shopping Centre
were also part of the Foundation’s communityfocused initiatives.
Established in 2005 the Abbotsford Police Foundation supports AbbyPD initiatives that enhance public safety and foster positive relationships in the community. The Foundation funds programs and initiatives not covered by the annual AbbyPD operating budget, hosting signature events to bring the community together and raise support for its mission. The APF relies solely on donations from individuals and businesses to sustain its work.

Amid global uncertainty, minister meets with economic forecast council
The impacts of potential U.S. tariffs are adding uncertainty to the global and domestic outlook, but privatesector forecasters indicate British Columbia is well positioned to take on whatever comes next.
At their annual meeting with the finance minister on Friday, Jan. 31, 2025, the 13 independent private sector forecasters from across Canada that make up B.C.’s Economic Forecast Council (EFC) noted that, like all provinces, B.C.’s economic outlook is affected by global and domestic forces, including federal immigration targets. Forecasters reaffirmed that in the absence of tariffs, they had expected steady economic growth for B.C.
Members said a diverse export network and a resource-rich environment give B.C. an advantage over other provinces, while some were encouraged by B.C.’s work to date to address housing supply, skills training and affordability challenges.
“We are in times of significant global uncertainty, and we can expect this instability to continue through the next four years,” said Brenda Bailey, Minister of Finance. “Our approach is to stand up for British Columbians by strengthening our economy, and continuing to diversify our trading network, while supporting the people that need it most. Our Economic Forecast Council has
noted that while the uncertainty of threats from the south can make the planning and budgeting process more challenging than typical, with a diverse economy, B.C. remains well-positioned to attract new investment, skilled workers, and development opportunities. While there are challenges ahead, we have everything we need here to thrive.”
The Economic Forecast Council estimates that real GDP in B.C. grew by 1.2% in 2024, higher than the Province’s projection in the Fall 2024 Economic and Fiscal Update. In early January, the council forecast B.C. real GDP growth of 1.9% in 2025, in line with the ministry’s outlook, and steady economic

Mission, BC—After first signing the historic Í:xel Sq'eq'ó agreement in July 2021, the province has returned title of the lands located immediately to the east of Fraser River Heritage Park to the LMS Society. The LMS Society is comprised of Leq’á:mel, Matsqui and Sumas First Nations.
growth of 2.0% annually on average through 2029. These projections do not fully include the impact of potential U.S. tariffs.
Economic Forecast Council members will have an opportunity to revise their forecasts before the budget.
B.C.’s finance minister meets each year with the Economic Forecast Council, whose forecasts and feedback help inform the Province as it prepares the next provincial budget. The budget will be released on March 4, 2025.
Paddle) Agreement
"It is fantastic to see that the vision for these lands has reached a new milestone,” said Mayor Paul Horn on behalf of Council. “These lands will provide new housing and economic opportunity for people in the traditional territories of the Leq’á:mel, Matsqui and Sumas people, but they also represent something much greater. The people of Mission have demonstrated a strong commitment to Reconcili-

ation and to partnering with First Nations to create wellness and equity for all. This work shows that we have learned from the past and that we have a shared vision of a better future for the next seven generations."
As part of the agreement, the lands have been subdivided to create a park parcel of approximately 50 hectares, which will be leased to the City of Mission to co-manage with the LMS Society for public use as a community park, and two 5-hectre
development parcels, to be developed by the LMS Development Corporation to support housing in the area and increase economic and social opportunities.
The City of Mission looks forward to working with the LMS Society to collaboratively develop a park management plan in the near future.
Í:xel Sq'eq'ó is a Hul’qumi’num phrase, which translates to English as “Together We Paddle.”

Be cautious about what you bring to an end or the way in which you go about winding something up, especially if you think it will open up more choices. The situation will have to be revisited mid April next year. Other things would have changed by then. It might be wiser to let things take their own course right now.
Something that started off as a small thing when it comes to helping out somebody else that seems to keep on growing would be best dealt with now, especially if it is turning into a habit or interfering with your regular routines. It has probably taught you to take more notice of what is important to you, rather than getting distracted..

New directions involving other people can be smooth running if things are done their way. While there might be a lot in common, their determination might clash with yours. If you have been attempting to come to an agreement, this might need to be left for now and revisited mid April as things will likely have changed by then.
Something is winding up on a personal level perhaps in ways you were not expecting that is generating thought of all sorts of possibilities in the long term. Someone can play a powerful role here. However it is to eventually settle will not become evident until January to April next year. Meanwhile just go with the flow.
You can have success in getting something out of the way that has been on your mind for a while but the energy just hasn’t been there. Not that you will feel overly energised just yet. It is more a realisation that time is running out. You know you will feel a lot better once this is done, especially if others have a good view of it.
Something needs to be put into place once and for all so that you know what needs to be spent rather than other things coming up all the time. Whatever you do now can create changes that may not be fully implemented until next year, between January and April. You need to be straightforward and practical with any discussions.
There can be a willingness to let something go that has been a personal priority but doesn’t fit well with someone else. It will be more important to establish underlying stability in situations involving others. This can be temporary as other opportunities to focus on your wishes will arise next year from January to April. Patience can pay off.
The New Moon this week occurs in your sign providing you with the opportunity to generate changed directions on a personal level. Anything that has not been heading in the direction you had hoped might be better let go right now. Becoming more practical can appeal to you, especially when it comes to stability with finances.
There can be new directions building up in the background that will provide the opportunity to put a stable foundation in place. This is likely tied into the decisions of somebody else and something may need to wind up so they can take the next step. There could be more than one stage of development attached to this as well.
It might be time to develop a new attitude when it comes to commitments or obligations in your life, especially if they affect your finances. If you have accepted things without thinking, you could recognise this has to stop. This can only happen when you take the time to analyse what you can realistically manage and follow through.
Changes in somebody else’s life may make you realise things are moving on and it will not be the same for you. This is encouraging you to think about what is important to you. It can actually be freeing you up to do so. This is a first stage. New people can come into your life, especially from January to April next year.
New possibilities in the long term can begin to feel more probable or realistic. This could leave behind a level of personal doubt or insecurity. This can be tied to you becoming more aware of what has been important for a long time but needs to be modified in some way for the future. The second stage can occur January to April next year.

New elementary school open for Surrey students
The new Ta’talu Elementary has created more than 500 student seats in Surrey.
“Ta’talu Elementary is part of our government’s commitment to meeting the needs of growing communities like Surrey,” said Lisa Beare, Minister of Education and Child Care. “Providing hundreds of new seats, Ta’talu Elementary ensures more students and families in Surrey have modern spaces to learn, grow and play.”
Ta’talu Elementary is the seventh new school to open in Surrey since 2017. The three-storey school has space for 655 students, in addition to child care space. Building the new Ta’talu Elementary school was funded with more than $39 million provided by the Province and $5 million from the Surrey School District.
“More families are settling down in Surrey and we need to make sure there are safe and comfortable schools to support their kids as they grow and learn,” said Bowinn Ma, Minister of Infrastructure. “That’s why we’re making record investments in schools, housing and health-care facilities so that families can get the services they need in their communities.”
This school is part of the government’s ongoing work over the past seven years to deliver new and expanded schools in Surrey. In the past few months, an 800-seat addition was announced for Fleetwood Park Secondary, as well as prefabricated additions for Old Yale Road Elementary, Latimer Road Elementary, William Watson Elementary and Martha Currie Elementary.
Construction is also underway for the new Snokomish Elementary, and additions at Semiahmoo Trail Elementary and South Meridian Elementary. These projects will create 3,500 new student seats in Surrey.
“Ta’talu is the perfect example of the kind of learning environment every single Surrey student deserves – a beautiful building with a gym, library, music room and dedicated space for students with diverse learning needs,” said Gary Tymoschuk, chair of the Surrey Board of Education. “This is exactly the type of investment our growing communities need so that students in Surrey can thrive and succeed."
The school’s name was gifted to Surrey school district by Chief Harley Chappell of the Semiahmoo First Nation. Derived from the
SENĆOŦEN language, it translates to “little arms.” It pays homage to the school's location near Campbell River and its tributaries, often referred to as the little arms of the river.
Ta’talu Elementary is part of an investment of nearly $1 billion in schools in the area. To further support the growing population in Surrey, the Province is also building a new hospital and cancer centre, and expanding Surrey Memorial Hospital to include a new renal hemodialysis facility and new interventional cardiology and radiology suites. In addition, the Simon Fraser University Surrey campus is set to open Western Canada’s first medical school in 55 years in 2026.

BC Coroners Service shares 2024 data into unregulated drug
Reporting from the BC Coroners Service shows the continued impact of unregulated drug toxicity in communities throughout the province in 2024, with 2,253 lives lost last year.
The cumulative number of unregulated drug deaths represents a 13% decrease from the number of deaths in 2023 and is less than the annual figure from any of the previous three years. The rate of death in 2024 was 40 per 100,000 people, compared with 47 per 100,000 in 2023, 45 per 100,000 in 2022 and 44 per 100,000 in 2021.
“This doesn’t mitigate the fact that 2,253 members of our communities died in 2024, leaving behind grieving loved ones, friends, colleagues and teammates. Our thoughts are with all of those many, many people who have been touched by this crisis.”
In 2024, about seven in every 10 decedents were between the ages of 30 and 59, and nearly three-
“The information collected by our coroners during their investigations into unregulated drug toxicity deaths, indicates a decline in fatalities over the last several months of 2024. This is consistent with reporting from other jurisdictions in Canada and internationally,” said Dr. Jatinder Baidwan, chief coroner.
quarters were male. The rate of death among females in 2024 is 20 per 100,000. This is an increase of 65% from 2020 (13 per 100,000) and a slight reduction from 2023 (21 per 100,000).
As in years prior, the drug-toxicity crisis affected cities of all sizes in 2024. By Local Health Area, the highest rates of death per 100,000 were in Vancouver-Centre North (422), Lillooet (116), Greater Campbell River (109), Terrace (109) and Prince George (103).
Since the public health emergency was first declared in April 2016, the lives of at least 16,047 people in B.C. have been lost to unregulated drug toxicity.
Fentanyl and its analogues continue to be the primary driver of unregulated drug toxicity deaths in B.C., detected in 78% of expedited toxicological testing in 2024. Cocaine (52%), fluorofentanyl (46%), methamphetamine (43%) and bromazolam (41%) were the other most common substances detected in expected toxicology. It’s important to note that the data from the report is preliminary and subject to change as additional toxicology results are received and investigations are concluded.
New prefabricated classrooms open in B.C., more on the way
Prefabricated classrooms have opened in four schools over the past month, with more underway, adding more than 1,000 new student spaces in growing communities throughout B.C.
“We are committed to providing students with the best possible learning environments,” said Lisa Beare, Minister of Education and Child Care. “These prefabricated additions will provide students with the spaces they need to succeed, and will benefit these communities for years to come.”
The use of prefabricated construction means students will be learning in modern classrooms that are just like regular classrooms. With sustainable and energy-efficient designs, the additions also align with the Province’s CleanBC targets and meet B.C.’s enhanced energy requirements. Due to their unique
build, prefabricated classrooms are more cost effective and can be built twice as fast as traditional schools. Since 2017, the Province has approved more than 42,000 new student spaces, with more than 2,400 open in just the past month.
“These rapidly built additions are one way we are quickly getting new classroom spaces ready for students now, and we know the solution is working,” said Bowinn Ma, Minister of Infrastructure. “These additions get students into new classrooms faster, while still providing the same lifespan and comforts of a traditional school environment.”
Newly opened prefabricated additions:
a 10-classroom, two-storey addition to Scott Creek Middle school in Coquitlam, adding 250 new student seats;
an eight-classroom addition at Lena Shaw Elementary school in Surrey, adding 200 new student seats;
a five-classroom addition at North Glenmore Elementary in Kelowna, adding 120 new student seats; and
a new five-room school and gymnasium at École La Grande-ourse in Smithers, which replaced the leased facility that École La Grande-ourse has been operating in since 2019; adding 70 new student seats.
Prefabricated additions starting construction soon:
Dr. Charles Best Secondary in Coquitlam will get a 12-classroom addition, adding 300 new seats.
R.C. Talmey Elementary in Richmond will get a six-classroom addition, adding 150 new seats.
The new Ministry of Infrastructure is mandated to reduce costs and expedite construction of projects such as schools and health-care facilities.
