Top 5 things to know about the ICBC minor injury definition

BC’s minor injury legislation will capture many car accident claims and has the potential to significantly impact entitlement to personal injury compensation. Here are the top five things to know about the ICBC minor injury definition.

1.The ICBC minor injury definition is broad. The definition of a minor injury in BC’s Insurance (Vehicle) Act includes abrasions, contusions, lacerations, sprains and strains. But the regulations also include types of injuries that are—or have the potential to be—much more serious, such as chronic pain syndrome, TMJ disorder, certain whiplash associated disorders, concussions, and psychological or psychiatric conditions.

2.If the ICBC minor injury definition applies, your general damages are “capped.” If your injury is minor, compensation for the pain and suffering portion of your claim is limited to a certain amount. If the motor vehicle accident that caused your injuries happened between April 1, 2019 and March 31, 2020, the cap is $5,500.

From April 1, 2020 to March 31, 2021, the limit for pain and suffering is $5,627. The minor injury cap does not apply to other types of damages you may be entitled to, such as past and future income loss and future care costs.

3.You can challenge a determination that the ICBC minor injury definition applies to your claim.. You may want to obtain legal advice first. It may be possible to argue that the cap on general damages should not apply because your injuries resulted in “permanent serious disfigurement” or “serious impairment” (meaning an impairment that has not resolved within 12 months of the accident and which causes substantial inability to perform essential tasks at work, school, or home).

New fund helps local governments deliver on housing priorities

A

new program supporting local governments to improve their development approvals process builds on the Province’s commitment to help people and communities get the homes they need built faster.

“The ongoing pandemic has created unprecedented challenges for local governments and has heightened the need to further increase the supply of new, affordable homes for people Adam Ueland Lawyer Simpson, Thomas & Associates

definition deems certain injuries as minor. Additionally, even if your injury is not of a type that fits into the defined categories, it can still be deemed minor if ICBC alleges that you failed to follow a “diagnostic and treatment protocol.” Once the injury is deemed minor, the burden of proving otherwise falls to the person who says it is not—in other words, you.

5.The ICBC minor injury definition may cease to apply if your injuries persist or worsen. An ICBC claim should not be settled before the full extent of injuries is known and maximum recovery has been reached.

This is especially true when it comes to minor injury claims, as an injury that does not resolve within a certain period may no longer be considered minor—and thus not subject to the cap on general damages. If your injury causes physical or mental impairment that causes substantial inability at work, school or in your activities of daily living that last for more than 12 months (or in the case of a concussion or mental health conditions, an incapacity that lasts beyond 16 weeks), it is no longer a minor injury.

If you or a loved one has been hurt in a motor vehicle accident, it’s advisable to consult with an experienced personal injury lawyer who can help navigate the complex legislation 4.You must prove that your injury is around ICBC minor injury claims. not minor.

in their communities,” said Josie Osborne, Minister of Municipal Affairs.

“Housing providers, the development sector and local governments all have a role to play in improving current development approvals, and this Development Approvals Program complements what local governments are already doing to get people the right housing for their communities quickly and efficiently.”

The $15-million Local Government Development Approvals Program is part of the Province’s ongoing work to give local governments the tools necessary to meet housing needs in their communities. It helps local governments look at best practices and innovative ways to support non-profit housing organizations, developers and other stakeholders to deliver essential and diverse types of housing to people around the province.

requirements and speed up the process; and conducting internal reviews of current development approvals processes to identify opportunities for improvement.

Municipalities, regional districts and the Islands Trust will be eligible for up to $500,000 for projects that improve their development approvals process. Applications for projects

that exceed that amount may be considered if applicants can demonstrate rationale and if funding is available.

The Union of British Columbia Municipalities is administering the program on behalf of the Province and will accept applications until May 7, 2021. Approvals are expected 90 days after the intake closes.

“UBCM members have long supported improving the development approval process in B.C.,” said Brian Frenkel, UBCM president. “This new program will provide assistance to local governments seeking to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of their processes. UBCM also looks forward to working with the ministry as it develops additional initiatives captured under the 2019 Development Approvals Process Review Report.”

Examples of projects that will qualify Local governments are encouraged for funding include: to submit applications through the UBCM website: https://www.ubcm. upgrades to a digital or online develca/EN/main/funding/lgps.html opment application process to make it easier for applicants to apply; The Local Government Development Approvals Program is equally funded developing a pre-application workby the Province and the Government shop or seminar to help developers of Canada, and is part of the Safe better understand the application Restart Agreement.

ACAT Raises Awareness About Sexual Exploitation of Youth The Abbotsford Community Action Team (ACAT) is raising awareness in Abbotsford middle and high schools about sexual exploitation through posters, stickers and online information.

The posters feature four of the possible warning signs of sexual exploitation which include an age difference between the youth and the exploiter, lifestyle changes, gifts and becoming isolated. A QR code allows students to anonymously report if they are feeling unsafe through the ERASE – Expect Respect and a Safe Education initiative of the BC Ministry of Education.

The ACAT usually organizes an annual rally to raise public awareness but due to COVID-19 restrictions, they’ve re-imagined how to Bev Olfert, an ACAT member and the educate youth, their families and the Executive Director of the Abbotsford Youth Commission shares that, “the general public during a pandemic. sexual exploitation of youth in Abbots“With less work opportunities and op- ford is not a new issue.

“Sexual exploitation can happen anywhere, including online. A lot of youth don’t realize that they are being exploited and feel that they have chosen to exchange sexual acts for resources. Not recognizing abuse can happen because the perpetrators are often in a position of trust, an authority, a friend, or someone the young person depends on.”

Deepak Purewal-Panis, a youth worker in the South Asian Community Resource Office said, “the South Asian Community has done tremendous work in recent years to recognize sexual exploitation and has been more open to receiving support from organizations.

Education in Punjabi has increased awareness in the community. While there has been improvement we as a community need to continue to raise “It is important to talk to the young awareness to support our youth and people in your life about the signs of families”. sexual exploitation to help them understand and recognize when they may Parents, teachers and friends are be at risk.

For actors, cinema halls are nothing short of a shrine : Varun Sharma importantly, it took an emotional toll on us. Today after One year I visited the Theatre and I feel so much Gratitude in my Heart." He also shared his journey as an actor and how he became a movie buff while growing up. "I grew up in a middle class family in Jalandhar. I knew no one in showbiz. Despite all that, I wanted to be an actor for the only time I was utterly and truly happy was when I would be before the big screen living the magic and absorbing the larger-than-life charm of Hindi films. Soon, first day first shows Actor Varun Sharma says going became a way of life and before I knew it, I inside a theatre after a year was a special was seduced into the world of movies. When moment for him. Varun entered a theatre my first film 'Fukrey' released in 2013 and I for promotional activity around his upcoming took my family to the theatres to watch it on film "Roohi", along with the film's team in the big screen, it was rather overwhelming. the Capital . The actor posted a picture on When my Mother saw me on the screen, Instagram where he is seen bowing down she broke down. It was an in the theatre as a mark of respect. In a emotional moment for the long post with the image, he wrote: "For us, entire family. Back in Actors, cinema halls and multiplexes are Jalandhar, people were nothing short of a shrine. A year back, when proud of me because the on-going pandemic hit us hard and they saw me on the theatres had to stay shut, the entire cinema silver screen," he industry incurred massive losses. But more wrote.

My mother doesn't miss even one episode of my shows : Anjali Tatrari

Actor Anjali Tatrari, who is currently seen on the show Sargam Ki Sadhe Satii, says that her mother is the biggest fan of her show and also her biggest critic."My mother is my biggest critic. She makes sure to never miss any of my episodes. And after each one of them, she tells me about what she has loved and where she thinks I could have been better. I love discussing my

performances with her. It's fun because her feedback is so genuine," says Anjali. She adds that her current show is also all about family and also talks about how family members don't have to always be bound by blood."While shooting one of the episodes of Sargam Ki Sadhe Satii, I was reminded of the fact that family is not only by blood, but people with whom you laugh and cry also become your family," she says. Off the screen, she finds such support from her family, she says. "My family is always there with me during my ups and downs and loves me no matter what. I am always grateful to have a family that is so supportive and encouraging. I believe when it comes to the care and health of the family, it is above everything else. I am ready to go to every length possible to ensure everyone in my family is safe and healthy," s h e says.

Ready to play alien, Juliet, or sofa as long as it challenges me : Shefali Shah Shefali Shah will soon share screen space with Alia Bhatt in the mother-daughter relationship film, "Darlings". She says she is up for any role that "surprises" the audience and helps her explore her acting abilities."I don't want to limit myself by asking or wishing for certain kind of roles. I'm greedy as an actor. And any role that excites me, hits me hard in my gut, surprises and challenges me. Whether it's an alien, Juliet or sofa," she said. Shefali courted international spotlight starring in the International Emmy-winner show "Delhi Crime", and has also been seen in Bollywood films such as "Dil Dhadakne Do", "Brothers", "15 Park Avenue" and "Waqt: The Race Against Time". Besides "Darlings", Shefali also has the web series "Humans" and "Delhi Crime 2" coming up. "I am super excited and thrilled for all the

work I'm doing this year. It's the kind of work I've waited for so long.

'Humans', 'Darlings', 'Delhi Crime 2' - and some more -- all being fantastic scripts and roles and incredible makers and talent to work with. It's a feast!" she says. "Darlings" is produced by Alia Bhatt's brand new banner Eternal Sunshine Productions along with Shah Rukh Khans Red Chillies Entertainment.

Have never tried something that is devoid of glamour : Shamita Shetty

Actress Shamita Shetty wants to try roles that are more realistic. She says she has never never tried something that is devoid of glamour. Shamita had a roaring start in Bollywood with the multistarrer blockbuster "Mohabbatein" in 2000. She was then seen in films such as "Cash", "Zeher", "Fareb" and "Bewafaa" among others. Two decades later, she was seen in the web series "Black Widows", which was released

in 2020. "I am yearning for characters I have not done before. Characters that give me an opportunity to do something… I have to actually work on it. To become that character. I like stuff that are different from my personality. So, that makes it a little more challenging," she said She says there is a lot in terms of acting she wants to try her luck in. "There is so much more to do out there. I have never tried something that is a little devoid of glamour. I would like to do something a little more realistic. There is so much I want to try out."

I was a big star once but things didn`t work out : Bobby Deol He was dubbed the Italian Stallion when he entered Bollywood, long mane adding to his dashing loverboy charm. Although his debut film Barsaat fared way below expectation in 1995, he had a few top hits in the early decade of his career, notably Gupt, Soldier, Baadal and Bichhoo. Yet, what followed didn't make for a happy picture. Dharmendra's younger son and Sunny Deol's younger brother Bobby suddenly witnessed a drop in his career graph in the new millennium. Films stopped doing well, the offers started slowing down. The actor says that it took him some time to accept the fact that he would have to settle for roles lesser than the lead. "I used to be a big star once upon a time but things didn't work out. My market value went down. I went through a phase where I couldn't understand why this happened and I started giving up," Bobby said . The actor adds that it was when his kids wondered

why he was at home, did he realise that it was time to get back to work. "When I saw my kids noticing me sitting at home, it dawned on me that I am an actor and my job is to perform and play characters, and not just the main lead. As an actor, I realised that I needed to prove myself and that's how I started looking at things," he said. "This is why I am getting so much work now. People have appreciated my hard work and have seen that I have the capability of doing different roles," said the actor. He seems to have made a good-enough comeback. His role as the vile Baba Nirala in Prakash Jha's web series last year Aashram has been appreciated, and he is set to return next year. He has lately been seeing a regular flow of releases, too.

Bobby has projects such as Love Hostel and Aashram season 2, besides Bollywood deals such as Apne 2 and Animal coming up. Talking about the love that he has been receiving from fans, especially for Ashram, he says: "I don't know what to feel. It is the love of my fans plus the new fans that I have made who helped me receive this award. They appreciated my work and the web series was watched by so many people. Their appreciation has helped me get this award and I am so grateful for that."

There should be plenty to occupy you but this could easily distract you from matters going on behind the scenes. It would not be wise to presume you know what can be expected from somebody else, especially if money is involved. Making your priorities clear does not necessarily mean they are accepted.

You must follow up.

What you would like to do and what you feel you can do without stirring up too much controversy can be two different things.

This could unwittingly bring you to a point where you need to be realistic. There will be commitments attached and while you are capable of handling them you may need to ensure there are boundaries.

Before you enthusiastically rush into something take a good look at the responsibilities attached, as they may not be as easy as they are portrayed. This you could discover from Mid May. Keep your longer-term goals in focus with the view of maintaining your independence when it comes to any future choices.

Get as much rest as possible as your energy level will not be high. Finding some quiet time to yourself will give you the opportunity to contemplate the way a matter can be tackled that should be moving forward but is unclear.

Knowing the true desires or expectations of somebody else can be difficult to tap into right now.

Expect a busy and active time involving other people. It might be difficult to work out exactly what they are looking for or expecting from you. You should avoid taking on commitments for this reason, especially if they cannot be changed. Focus on your own priorities and any actions necessary to put things into motion.

Someone else can be charming yet mysterious. You cannot afford to take them on face value, especially when it comes to what they believe will be future development.

Employing your natural analytical skills will enable you to realise where things don’t add up. You should not waver from whatever you want to establish for yourself.

The days may seem to drift by without accomplishing what you intended. You may wonder where the time went. Distractions can come from unexpected expectations of others. This will be difficult to curb if you feel guilty about not responding to them. You can certainly make things more enjoyable but you must be determined.

What starts out as fun involving somebody else can turn out to be more for their benefit than yours. This could make you realise that you cannot afford to put any more time into it. Your focus needs to be on matters you want to put into place that will bring underlying security and benefit. This could include home and family.

You are in a good position to put your ideas forward. There is likely to be something about this that will not follow normal protocol.

Even so, some sort of traditional aspect can be maintained. Be sure you have all angles covered because anybody you might need to challenge will be prepared to fight for their position.

Attempting to make final decisions on any matter can be difficult. You might be trying to push something too quickly. More time and energy probably needs to be put into the details, especially if it needs to satisfy somebody else. An unexpected opportunity can arise either connected to something you want to buy or work.

You should be full of optimism because the opportunity to pursue something important to you can present itself. This could come about in an unusual way or it could mean you need to go after it in your own way. The only thing you have to watch is spending money on impulse and taking things on face value.

Investigate.

There can be much to enjoy on a personal level this week. It may be hard to feel motivated when it comes to general routine but it won’t hurt to be lazy for once. You need some time to think and contemplate so that you can take advantage of the active cycle you have until 23rd April to start putting things in place for solid results later.

While we focus on protecting Canadians from the dangers of COVID-19, other threats to public safety must not be ignored. Gang activity does not rest, which is why I was proud to support Bill C-238 putting tougher sentences on criminals smuggling illegal firearms across our border. I am pushing the Government to provide more funding for anti-gang initiatives and was pleased the Abbotsford Police Department received federal funding to hire an Anti-Gang Coordinator and four additional officers.

In the moment of crisis, my office helped successfully repatriate loved ones back to MMFC from around the world, ensured businesses, charities,

I will continue to support federal funding applications from our community for infrastructure dollars, housing projects, community initiatives and environmental work including those working to implement strong safeguards to protect wild salmon and promote Fraser River conservation.

Four years after the decision was made to allow for individuals to grow cannabis for personal, medical use, responsibility for the enforcement and administration of these regulations remains muddled and resources lacking. Municipalities have been placed in a difficult position by the Federal Government’s Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (AC-

MPR) which limit municipal authority and ability to inspect properties. I have sponsored a petition created by residents to address this issue and am working with local mayors to further identify gaps in the ACMPR. Canadians should never be forced to choose between their mental health and their job after a family member dies.

Currently Compassion Care Leave ends when a loved one passes away, leaving their caretaker no time to grieve their loss before they have to return to work. This is unacceptable. I jointly seconded Bill C-220, An Act to amend the Canada Labour Code (compassionate care leave) to ensure Compassion Care Leave Benefits are extended.

As Shadow Minister for Housing, I will highlight workable housing policy solutions to the federal government and lobby for their implementation to improve the National Housing Strategy and Indigenous housing programs.

More must be done to ensure there are affordable housing options both for renters and homeowners, especially in areas of inflated prices like Vancouver and Toronto, where young people can no longer afford to live in the communities they grew-up in. The federal government must be held to account for failing to address money laundering in the Canadian real estate sector and I will continue to push for real action.

How would you describe PM Justin Trudeau’s efforts to curb the economic impacts of COVID-19? Where did the government go wrong, and what could have the government done better? What role did your party have in putting together the relief benefits?

Amidst all the uncertainty one thing is clear, the Trudeau Liberals do not have a plan to help the millions of Canadians who are looking for work or the tens of thousands of businesses who have been hard hit by the pandemic.

Despite two World Wars and the Great Depression, never has the Canadian Government failed to present a Budget until last year. There are now 1.1 million Canadians directly affected by the COVID-19 economic effects – including 636,000 unemployed workers and 433,000 people who are working less than half their usual hours. Canadians want their lives back – not an increase in taxes as the Liberals announced last week.

we have been successful in advocating for changes including an increase to the Canada Child Tax Benefit, changes to the commercial rent relief program, expansion of the wage subsidy program, and enhanced maternity leave benefits.

However, the Liberal government has been successful in creating ethical scandals, shutting down committee work and proroguing Parliament; effectively putting themselves first and delaying help to Canadians.

How satisfied were you with the government’s actions to curb the pandemic (border shutdowns, lockdowns, social restrictions, etc.)?

Failed communications played a significant role in the government’s decisions to address the pandemic. History will show just how deep failed communications impacted our ability to prevent the arrival and spread of COVID-19 in Canada.

Mission-Matsqui-Fraser Canyon is home to four federal institutions and experienced the largest single outbreak in Canada at Mission Institution. 120 inmates and a dozen staff tested positive for COVID-19 and one inmate died of the virus. Pandemic protocols were not sufficiently communicated throughout the Institution or community, lack of staffing and PPE were blamed as major factors for this outbreak.

Additionally, the government failed to coordinate with the provinces to align public health orders where jurisdictions intersect. This left employers at a loss on how to comply with ever changing workplace and housing regulations.

And served to shake Canadians’ confidence when told by Canadian health officials that masks are inconsequential to preventing the spread of COVID-19, while Provinces encouraged them.

Talk about your office’s role in supporting the Farmer’s crisis in Punjab.

I have heard from dozens of families that farmers in India are being prevented from peacefully protesting legislative changes that will greatly impact their livelihoods. While we respect the legislative independence of sovereign nations, Canada must always stand to protect fundamental freedoms, such as the freedom of thought and expression, around the world. I was pleased Every step of the way Conservatives to sponsor the very first petition on have scrutinized the bills brought for- this matter in the House of Commons. ward to provide emergency relief and Without farmers, there is no food!

As your Member of Parliament I take democratic rights seriously, especially the right to peaceful protest. That is why I am proud to have been one of the first MPs in Canada to speak publicly on the reports of violence against peacefully protesting farmers in India. Together we have brought forward more petitions to the House of Commons and I have spoken more on this issue than any other M.P. in Canada. I will always stand for the protection of fundamental freedoms, both at home and around the world.
