From Balwant Sanghera’s Desk For more than 25 years members of Punjabi Language Education Association (PLEA) have been working hard in promoting Punjabi language in Canada at every level. In order to do so PLEA has been holding a number of functions and activities. One of such activities is the annual celebration of International Mother Language Day (IMLD) for the last 20 years. IMLD attracts a lot of attention in the community including youth, parents, scholars and well-wishers of Punjabi. PLEA invites students, parents, scholars and other professionals to share their stories related to Punjabi. In co-operation with Deepak Binning Foundation, PLEA provides certificates, cash awards and recognition to our young participants.

In addition to that, PLEA recognizes prominent members of the community who have made a valuable contribution to promoting Punjabi. Furthermore, whenever possible PLEA, in co-operation with teachers of Punjabi, holds poetry and essay competitions for students.

In addition to promoting Punjabi in schools, colleges, universities and the community, PLEA has been encouraging government, non-government and private organizations and businesses to provide their services in Punjabi and place appropriate signage in Punjabi.

Consequently, a large number of public and private enterprises have signage in Punjabi on their premises. Not only that, they offer their services in Punjabi as well. Organizations like Vancouver International Airport (YVR), Vancouver General Hospital, Surrey Hospital, Richmond Hospital, Insurance Corporation of BC, banks, credit unions, City Halls etc. proudly display signs like: We Speak Punjabi. As a matter of fact, in certain areas Punjabi has now become the language of employment. This is a great incentive for both Punjabis and non-Punjabis to learn the language. In addition to regular Punjabi speaking immigrants, the recent influx of international Punjabi speaking students has given added significance to Punjabi in Canada.

Speakers of Punjabi are spread out all around the globe. This has made Punjabi as a popular language in many countries. In order to discuss issues related to Punjabi, conferences are held in India and in many other countries on a regular basis. Canada is no exception. Various international Punjabi conferences have taken place in different cities of Canada from time to time. One such conference was held in the Metro Vancouver area in 2003 with PLEA’s co-operation. As PLEA’s representative it was an honour for me to chair this very successful conference organized with my friends late Dr. Darshan Gill and Kulwant (Nadeem) Parmar. We managed to attract top notch Punjabi scholars not only from India but also from many other countries like U.K., U.S.A, and Europe etc. This conference received glowing reviews from participants, media and well-wishers of Punjabi.

truly a multicultural and multilingual country. Here, every culture, custom and language is respected. This is reflected in the census that is conducted every five years. The last census conducted in 2016 placed Punjabi at the fifth place with nearly 600, 000 speakers of Punjabi. However, during the past five years, number of Punjabi speakers has gone up considerably. As such, the next census scheduled for May 2021 should give a boost. For this, every speaker of Punjabi should ensure that he/she is counted .Incidentally; the benefits of learning Punjabi are many.

In addition to connecting with ones heritage, it enables the learner to have better employment opportunities, widens his/her horizon and enhances cognitive abilities. Consequently, PLEA would like to see every well-wisher of Punjabi to do his/her part in promoting our mother tongue.

Canada is home to people around the globe representing more than 200 communities and more than 200 languages from every corner of the world. It is

“BRIDGING COMMUNITIES”

Friday, January 29th, 2021

New school, child care spaces coming for Abbotsford families Good news is on the way for students and families in Abbotsford, as construction has begun on a new elementary school that will also provide child care spaces for the community.

“Families deserve to have schools and child care close to home, so children can spend their days in environments that are designed for modern learning,” said Jennifer Whiteside, Minister of Education. “Our government is making forward-thinking investments to provide new schools that benefit families in growing communities like Abbotsford, and I’m excited to know that shovels are in the ground to build

this facility for local families.”

The Government of B.C. is providing $24.7 million for the new, 460-seat Eagle Mountain Elementary school.

The Abbotsford School District is contributing an additional $2.5 million.

With construction underway, the school is set to open its doors to students in September 2022. This will reduce enrolment pressure at nearby schools as more families move to the area and will eliminate the need for nearly 20 portables in the district.

funding from the Province’s Childcare BC New Spaces Fund, there will be nearly 100 child care spaces opening at the new school.

The new Eagle Mountain Elementary school will be an inclusive community amenity, providing child care for infant-toddlers, preschool and schoolaged children in the community.

“Investing in early care and learning is not simply good for families – especially mothers – it’s vital to building strong communities and supporting B.C.’s economy,” said Katrina Chen, Minister of State for Child Care. “Eagle Mountain’s new child care spaces will offer parents convenience and peace of mind knowing their kids are receiving quality care in one place for the day, while also supporting children with a smooth transition into the K-12 system.”

In addition to the new school, the Province is also providing $18.9 million for seismic upgrades at Abbotsford Traditional school. The upgrades are also expected to be complete in September 2022 and give 750 students a safer place to go to school.

“We are very pleased to have a new school coming to the Abbotsford School District in 2022,” said Stan Petersen, chair, Abbotsford Board of Education. “Abbotsford has experienced exceptional growth over the last decade, and this new school will alleviate high capacity and projected future enrolment in the Eagle Mountain neighbourhood. We look forward to providing students and families with a modern and innovative learning space and accessible child care spaces.”

“People in our community can’t wait for a new school to open on Eagle Mountain, so more students can spend their days in better learning environments that help them thrive,” said Pam Alexis, MLA for Abbotsford-Mission.

“Our government is taking action to make sure we are supporting students These investments are part of governand families by investing in local ment’s work to build new and improved schools throughout the province, with schools that benefit communities.” more than $2.2 billion announced in The new school will also include a new less than four years for school conneighbourhood learning centre. The struction or land purchases for future centre will provide dedicated space schools. This includes 39 new or exfor before- and after-school care, along panded schools that are adding 13,280 with a large, centrally located multipur- new student seats to fast-growing B.C. pose space for community use.

Fortunate to get projects that had strong female protagonists : Rani Mukerji

On the occasion of National Girl Child Day on Sunday, Rani Mukerji opened up on the power of cinema to drive changes that could benefit women. The actress, who has

been around in Bollywood for 24 years now, feels fortunate that she has, by and large, worked in films that offered her strong protagonists."By projecting girls well, cinema definitely tries to contribute towards showing how girls can be so much more than what society wanted them to be," she said."Cinema has the power to impact societal change and actors do have the power to talk to people and seed the thought of positive change through their choice of films. I have been fortunate as an artiste to get

projects that had strong female protagonists and, to be honest, I have also consciously tried to seek out such projects," she added.The actress reveals that she always has a specific plan in mind while choosing roles and films."I want my body of work to loudly tell the world what my intent was, with my brand of cinema and my roles, and today, I'm happy that I chose well. I say this because I wanted to do my bit towards shifting society's stereotyped gaze towards women," she added.

Can I Make an ICBC Claim if I was Partially at Fault for the Accident?

On the other hand, if you were only partially at fault for the accident, you can pursue a personal injury claim (also known as a “tort” claim) in addition to a Part 7 claim. A personal injury claim gives you access to coverage under the other driver’s third party liability insurance policy and opens the door for you to claim different types or “heads of damage including damages for pain and suffering. For those reasons, a personal injury tort claim will generally attract How fault factors into the claims and a higher settlement or court award. damages you can pursue How fault factors into the calculation If you were the sole cause of a motor of damages vehicle accident, in most cases you are entitled to bring a claim for ICBC If you are partially at fault, you are Part 7 accident benefits (also known still entitled to claim compensation as a “no-fault” benefits claim). Part 7 which—depending on the severity of benefits pay for specific medical and your injuries and the extent of your rehabilitation expenses, wage loss, losses—may be substantial. In your and homemaking benefits, up to cer- personal injury claim, there will be tain coverage limits. If you have been an allocation of liability according to seriously injured—a brain injury or degrees of fault for the accident (e.g., spinal cord injury, for example—Part 25% to you, 75% to the other driver).

7 policy limits may not be enough Recovery will then be reduced in to cover your wage losses and care proportion to your share of liability.

Using the example provided, if your costs. degree of fault for the accident is 25% njured motorists, motorcyclists, cyclists, and pedestrians can pursue a personal injury claim even if partially at fault for the accident.

The apportionment of even a small degree of fault or negligence on the part of another allows you to claim for personal injury compensation following a collision. Here is how it works and why it matters, particularly if you have suffered serious impairment or catastrophic injury.

then your final compensation will be 75% of your claim’s value. As noted, personal injury tort claims attract higher value settlements and court awards. Damages for pain and suffering, loss of earning capacity, and the costs of future care are often substantial, worth hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars—even after reduction for partial fault—for those who have sustained serious injuries or long-term impairment.

Where and When to Find Legal Advice You are entitled to pursue a personal injury claim even if you were partially at fault for the accident.

The determination of fault after an accident can be complex. Don’t rely on what the police, ICBC or anyone else says about who is liable for your accident, or to what degree—always consult a personal injury lawyer. Call Simpson, Thomas & Associates on

Online estimator tool shows ICBC savings ahead ICBC has improved its online tool to provide customers an estimate of how much they will save when they renew their vehicle insurance under Enhanced Care and how much they will get in a refund from ICBC. The insurance estimator will help personal customers understand what the upcoming premium savings will mean to them. When Enhanced Care comes into effect May 1, 2021, customers who purchase basic and optional insurance from ICBC will save 20% on average. Most customers will also be eligible for a one-time, pro-rated refund.

The tool will compare what they paid last time and approximately how much they will save under Enhanced Care. If a customer is within 45 days of their renewal date, they can save the information to review it with an Autoplan broker when it is time to renew and pay.

For eligible customers, the tool will display a refund amount of the difference between their current Autoplan coverage and the new, lower-cost Enhanced Care coverage. The refund amount depends on the customer’s “Our government is set to deliver renewal date and how much of their much more affordable ICBC premi- current policy extends beyond May ums, and now drivers can see how 1, 2021. much they’re going to save and how “Today’s announcement brings us much of a refund they can expect one step closer to the promise of after May 1,” said Mike Farnworth, more affordable auto insurance rates Minister of Public Safety and Solici- for British Columbians,” said Nicolas tor General. “In just minutes, drivers Jimenez, president and CEO, ICBC. will be able to get an estimate of how “Our online estimator tool will help much less they’ll be paying for auto to make clear the extent of Enhanced insurance going forward.”

than 40 stakeholders, including the Ministry of Health, health authorities, the BC Centre of Disease Control, seniors’ associations, care home operators, providers, frontline staff and the Hospital Employees’ Union. The objective was to seek input about the progress, so far, in keeping residents of long-term care safe, and where and how any further improvements in progress could be made, both in the shorter and longer term. There was also a commitment to share the final report with the sector and take action on the high-level recommendations.

In late spring 2020, the ministry commissioned a progress review of the response, efforts made, and actions taken by the ministry and health authorities in the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic to protect residents of long-term care. The ministry would normally undertake this assessment, but due to ongoing work on the pandemic, Ernst & Young, a pre-qualified supplier, was asked to assist to conduct interviews, review background material and make highlevel recommendations on areas for potential improvement suggested by The report arrived in late October 2020 for the ministry’s consideration the long-term care sector. and the contents of the progress reSpecifically, the ministry sought the view were immediately acted upon. perspectives of a range of sector Some recommended actions were stakeholders on progress made in the already underway, while others initial COVID-19 response, and on pointed to areas where progress could challenges with the current funding be furthered, broadened or expanded and contract model.

Life is beginning to change gear from where it has sat since late June. Focus on your finances to early March and don’t be tempted to do any impulsive spending right now. It could be difficult to clearly define what your priorities need to be. This won’t become clear before mid March. There will still be restrictions to deal with.

Mars has just moved into your sign where it will remain until 4th March. This will end a long period of frustration from late June.

Your energy level will lift and so will your self-confidence – you can begin to feel a new person. There can be different responsibilities to consider but don’t attempt to bed them down until mid March.

Your focus will naturally turn to the future and what is important in the long term. To be able to get there it will be essential to let things go or clear away the unnecessary, otherwise, it will be a source of limitation. You probably realise that. If you work on this to early March you will be in a decisive position by mid March.

New directions associated with other people, even new people coming into your life has much more to it than is evident on the surface.

You could feel it is a welcome change with a degree of excitement attached. They can be far more determined than you suspect.

Don’t modify your priorities to accommodate their wishes.

You can be under a lot of pressure to early March, some of which will come up suddenly and will not be evident right now. Something about daily routines needs to take a new direction so that you can be more efficient and effective. You can enjoy making these changes to early February. Take care of your health as well.

You can feel freed up from the expectations of others that may have weighed heavily since late June. There is the opportunity to look at future possibilities from a perspective you had never imagined. This could be at odds with daily routines or obligations. You need to be honest about what is too much from now to mid March.

Optimistic plans, particularly if they are connected to leisure or pleasure could run into unexpected difficulty because it doesn’t please somebody else. This might make you realise that the time has come to put plans into place in a new way – one that suits what you want and bypass their pressure. Let them take it or leave it.

Relationships with others will be interesting to early March. There will be a degree of unpredictability or rebelliousness on their part.

It can be a new normal that you will need to deal with that can alter the structure of your life. Much can be based on new ideas. By being open to them you could establish some stimulating interaction.

There will be a lot to think about, communicate about or find information on from now to mid March. Get to work on getting good routines in place up to early March. This can also include health and exercise. You can be easily distracted and while this may not cause too much of a problem now, you will regret any time wasting.

The New Moon falls into your sign with Pluto, generating a powerful undertone to any new beginnings on a personal level that will have a strong transformative effect. Venus is in your sign until the 2nd February encouraging you to pursue whatever you feel will bring peace, balance and harmony even if you need to rebel in some way.

You could have a sense of urgency about moving forward towards getting a solid underlying plan in place. There are still some unknown factors that will unfold over the next month. This can alter the way you are thinking about things right now and up to early March.

It will be mid March before final solutions become obvious.

New directions can take shape either with friends or a group of people that you are involved with. This could equally relate to joining a new group in which sharing of ideas or learning something new could be the theme. Be mindful of only taking on as much as you can easily manage, otherwise you could feel restricted later.
