Fire up your home safety plans (NC) In the busyness of daily life, it’s easy to overlook the importance of practising home fire safety. Consider making the following tips routine to help ensure your home and family are prepared in the event of a fire or carbon monoxide (CO) emergency.

Test and maintain alarms. Maintaining your smoke and CO alarms is an important part of helping keep your home and family safe. However, of the Canadian residents who experienced a residential fire from 2015 to 2021, just one in three had a working smoke alarm in their home, according to Statistics Canada. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends that alarms be installed on every level of your home, including the basement, and in every bedroom. Remember to test your alarms regularly, and if you’re using battery-powered models, change the batteries at least every six months.

Upgrade to long-term alarms. To make maintaining your smoke and CO alarms easier, you can use combination 10-year sealed-battery devices, such as the First Alert 10-year battery smoke and carbon monoxide alarm. These two-in-one alarms eliminate late-night battery chirps as well as the need for battery replacements. They are easy to install and come equipped with a mounting bracket and installation kit.

bWicE ! sLnIvfr, 11 meI nMU mF leI hYigMg tokrI bxfE 5$ iewk tokrI dy

Equip yourself with fire extinguishers. According to the NFPA, fire extinguishers should not only be placed on every level of your home, but also in easily accessible locations, such as under the kitchen sink. In the event of a fire emergency, assess the situation before reaching for your fire extinguisher. If the fire is small enough for you to handle, use the PASS technique to put the fire out: Pull the pin, Aim low, Squeeze the handle and Sweep from side to side. If the fire is too big or begins to spread, evacuate your home immediately and call 911.

Have a plan in place. Create and practise an emergency escape plan with every member of your household to help ensure everyone is prepared in the event of a fire. Identify two exits from each room, choose a designated meeting spot a safe distance away from your home, and practise at least twice a year so your safety plan remains top-of-mind.

I am writing to provide an update on the activities and progress of National Council. However, I would be remiss if I did not note that passing of the Rt. Hon. Brian Mulroney, Prime Minister of Canada from 1984 to 1993. We had opportunity as a Party and as a Country to say goodbye on March 23, 2024.

National Council held its first quarterly meeting of 2024 on April 13. A great deal of activity preceded this meeting, as both National Policy Committee and National Constitution Committee were elected with the results declared on March 2. National Council received a presentation of the Party Budget for 2024 as well in early February.

Shattar,

At its quarterly meeting, Council received reports from the Conservative Fund, the Executive Director, and from our Conservative Party Caucus liaison to Council. We also heard reports from each of the National Council sub-committees, and I am pleased to share with you that each of these sub-committees have been active and working hard to meet their mandates.

We finished off the first quarter with a nationwide door-knocking canvass on April 6th, following closely after a phenomenal series of Axe the Tax/ Spike the Hike rallies with incredible turnout to see our Leader and next prime minister, Hon. Pierre Poilievre!

Seven Fraser Valley elementary schools set to receive free cycling education in schools Ascent Guides, in partnership with HUB Cycling, is excited to announce the expansion of cycling education to all grades 4 and 5 students in participating Fraser Valley public elementary schools.

Next week, HUB Cycling’s Everyone Rides Grade 4-5 bike safety education course will become available to participating grades 4 and 5 students in seven public schools. The fully-funded program will be delivered to approximately 700 students this Spring. The Learn2Ride course includes two lessons that teach students cycling safety theory and on-bike skills via school ground training.

"Getting kids on bikes and teaching them how to be safe benefits everyone. Cycling is not only the most efficient form of active transportation but also very fun! This program will help kids learn the skills and develop the confidence to cycle independently. Training the cyclists of tomorrow will help promote the Province's active transportation goals and lead BC toward a healthier, sustainable future." says Meghan Jackson, Coordinator of Ascent Guides.

To ensure all students can participate, HUB Cycling supplies bicycles for those who cannot bring a bike to school - including adaptive bicycles – and helmets.

This program was made possible by the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure as part of the Move. Commute. Connect. Active Transportation Strategy. This will allow HUB Cycling’s bike education programs to reach all public elementary school students in the target grades every two years.

Spaces in the program are filling up quickly for the Spring; however, there is still availability for the 2024/25 school year. Schools interested in booking can email bikes@ascentfv.com.

For additional cycling resources, please check out Go By Bike BC’s resources for schools at gobybikebc.ca.

Supporting vulnerable clients with psychiatric care in the community

2024 Spring Freshet Update Each spring the City of Abbotsford monitors the levels of the Fraser River during the annual snowmelt season, known as freshet, to assess the flooding risk along the Matsqui Dikes. As of April 1, 2024, the snow basin index in the Fraser River at Hope is below normal at 61 per cent.

BC United Leader Kevin Falcon tabled legislation today that would prevent those Seasonal weather during the snowmelt season is a critical factor in determining the size of freshet, and whether or not flooding will occur. Intense or prolonged rainfall convicted of dangerous offenses from legally changing their names. and extreme temperatures are important factors that can lead to larger freshets.

“British Columbians were horrified to learn last week that convicted child-killer, The Matsqui Dikes are designed to prevent water in the Fraser River from entering Allan Schoenborn, was allowed to change his name. The NDP government had into Matsqui Prairie; however, residents living in areas along the Matsqui Dikes every opportunity to prevent this monster’s application for a name change with may experience pooling of water or seepage, due to the pressure difference created provincial powers under the Name Act, but they didn’t do anything,” said Falcon. by the high-water level.

“Since British Columbians cannot rely on David Eby and the NDP to exercise their Seepage pooling is quite common during freshet. To minimize the seepage pooling authority to protect our communities from dangerous criminals like Schoenborn, and/or a boil on your property, please avoid the following activities from May to the legislation I’ve tabled today will force government to reject them by default.” September near the dikes: Currently, Vital Statistics under the Ministry of Health has complete authority to deny any change of name application that is “sought for an improper purpose or is on any other ground objectionable” but the NDP failed to use that to prevent Schoenborn’s name change. BC United’s Name Amendment Act, 2024 would automatically prevent those who have been designated as a dangerous or long-term offender under the Canadian Criminal Code from filing applications to change their name, instead of relying on government discretion.

“It is completely unacceptable that Eby’s government is complicit in helping someone who brutally murdered his three children in cold blood from being able to hide his identity. If the NDP won’t classify that as ‘objectional’ enough to deny a name change, then BC United will. Our simple bill will force this NDP government’s hands to never again allow dangerous criminals to legally change their identity in British Columbia,” concluded Falcon.

• the removal of trees or stumps; • deep cultivation of fields; and • digging holes with machines.

Further information is available from the following sources: • View the areas where seepage pools were found during previous freshet seasons, or make an in- person appointment at the Engineering Department at City Hall for a hardcopy.

• The BC Government website shares the latest Snow Survey and Water Supply bulletins and current levels at the Mission Bridge (Station 08MH024).

• Report water pooling on your property or to get information on the freshet season, contact the City of Abbotsford Diking, Drainage and Irrigation Division at 604-853-5485.

Supporting vulnerable clients with psychiatric care in the community When you think of a psychiatrist’s office, a mobile van is probably not the first thing that comes to mind. However, that is where Dr. Ijaz Hussain often provides psychiatric assessments virtually to clients of the Integrated Homelessness Action Response Team (IHART.) The IHART team conducts client intake in advance, gathering the pertinent information a psychiatrist would normally ask during their first visit. With formalities out of the way, the psychiatric assessment occurs in the IHART team’s mobile van or wherever the client is comfortable connecting virtually.

“IHART does a tremendous job gaining the trust of clients, providing initial care, and connecting them to the services they need,” says Dr. Hussain. “This allows me to focus solely on the client and let them tell me their story.”

Dr. Hussain recalls the case of a man who had been living under a bridge for five years. He presented to the emergency department on several occasions.

His parents also called the police, seeking help for their son. “A nurse flagged that this was a mental health issue,” says Dr. Hussain. The Tri Cities/New Westminster IHART team found the man in his encampment under a bridge and arranged for him to meet with Dr. Hussain via telephone. “They held up the iPhone, and we had our psychiatric assessment under the bridge. The client was very sick and agreed to a hospital admission. We then connected him to ongoing care in the community. “

Federal incentives are helping businesses buy a vehicle – here’s what you need to know

As for the man who was living under the bridge, “I’m pleased to say that his condition was stabilized and he was reunited with his family,” says Dr. Hussain. “He was quite successful before his mental health deteriorated, (NC) Trucks, cargo vans and other large vehicles are sometimes the most and I’m hopeful he will be successful in the future as well.” practical vehicles for businesses. But their size and weight mean they burn through a lot of gas or diesel. An electric truck eliminates those fuel costs, but the higher upfront cost of electric vehicles (EVs) can make it hard for many to make the switch.

The Incentives for Medium- and Heavy-Duty Zero-Emission Vehicles program offers businesses and organizations substantial rebates on the cost of buying or leasing electric commercial vehicles. The rebate applies to qualifying vans, trucks, coach buses, semi-trucks and other types of commercial vehicles.

If your company operates a fleet of vehicles, the business may be eligible for up to 10 of these incentives per calendar year, up to a maximum combined rebate of $1 million.

The rebate is applied at the point of sale by the dealer, and it can be combined with any other provincial or territorial electric vehicle rebates available where the business is located.

The Government of Canada has a list of hundreds of qualifying vehicles on the program’s website.

Canada to introduce new rules around off-campus work hours for international students International students enrich Canada’s social, cultural and economic fabric. That is why, in recent months, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada has introduced reforms to the International Students Program, to ensure system integrity while protecting students from fraud and financial vulnerability.

The Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, announced today that the temporary policy allowing students to work more than 20 hours per week off campus will come to an end on April 30, 2024, and it will not be extended. This fall, we intend to change the number of hours students may work off campus per week to 24 hours.

Students who come to Canada must be here to study. As such, allowing students to work up to 24 hours per week will ensure they focus primarily on their studies, while having the option to work, if necessary.

As we head into the summer session, students who have a scheduled academic break can continue working unlimited hours.

In developing this change, we looked at the needs of students, policies in other countries, as well as research that has shown that academic outcomes suffer the more a student works while studying. It also strikes the appropriate balance so students have the option to work without compromising academic outcomes. More details will be shared in due course.

– The Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship

Most countries that welcome international students set limits on the number of hours they may work while they study. Australia recently changed its policy to allow a student to work 48 hours every 2 weeks. In the US, students must meet additional criteria before being permitted to work off campus at all.

In December 2023, the Government of Canada raised the cost-of-living threshold that students must meet to be approved for a study permit so they are financially prepared for life in Canada and are not as dependent on working.

International students who begin a college program delivered through a publicprivate curriculum licensing arrangement on or after May 15, 2024, will not be eligible for a post-graduation work permit when they graduate. Those who already started this type of program prior to May 15, 2024, will still be able to access a post-graduation work permit, provided they meet all other criteria.

The new letter of acceptance (LOA) verification process has been a success. Since its launch on December 1, 2023, through April 1, 2024, IRCC has received almost 162,000 LOAs for verification confirmed nearly 142,000 LOAs as valid directly with designated learning institutions (DLIs) identified almost 9,000 LOAs that didn’t match any LOA issued by a DLI or that the DLI had already cancelled before the foreign national applied for a study permit.

Quick facts: Recent studies conducted in the US and Canada have shown that there is a considerable decline in academic performance for students working more than 28 hours per week, and that working more than 24 hours per week increases the chances that a student will drop out of their program.

We also continue to develop the new Recognized Institutions Framework to reward post­secondary institutions that set high standards for selecting, supporting and retaining international students. We will continue to support and protect international students from financial vulnerability and keep protecting the integrity of the International Student Program.

Quote: “Working off campus helps international students gain work experience and offset some of their expenses. As international students arrive in Canada, we want them to be prepared for life here and have the support they need to succeed.

However, first and foremost, people coming to Canada as students must be here to study, not work. We will continue working to protect the integrity of our student program.”

Growing Steps: Walk around Mill Lake to Show Support for Maternity, Infant, Child and Youth Program at Abbotsford Regional Hospital

Rick Hansens Dry Grad

Abbotsford Regional Hospital (ARH) has made a massive difference in the lives of many individuals. And that difference not only applies to patients, but also staff members who have devoted their careers to care work. The compassion and steadfast dedication to their work is what propelled Heather Rivett-Peixoto, registered nurse, from Maternal, Infant, Child and Youth Program (MICY) to initiate the idea of a walk/run that helps to raise money for a unit that serves a vulnerable population.

Rivett-Peixoto with the help of colleagues such as, Susie Clark (child life specialist) and the team at Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation have organised the event to take place on Sunday, June 2nd 2024 at 1pm. The 5km walk/run will start from the staff parking lot at Abbotsford Regional Hospital and head towards Mill Lake.

According to Rivett-Peixoto, “the region is growing which means our pediatric population is also growing. This means the MICY units at ARH are busier then ever” and the demands for specialised equipment is ever more pressing.

How does it work? If you are motivated to join in the efforts there is a simple way you can participate. Sign up with the QR code on the poster or register at fvhcf.ca/events.

Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation is proud to support the hospital care team’s fundraising initiative as it is an event that allows for a combination of sport and solidarity to come together. If you would like to donate or learn more about other meaningful initiatives please get in touch with Dr. Jassal, donor relations, directly: Lakhbir.Jassal@fraserhealth.ca

Hours: Monday to Friday 9am to 5 pm

The City of Mission is updating its Official Community Plan and community members are invited to get involved by sharing their priorities in a survey that launched on Engage Mission. Mission’s Official Community Plan (OCP) is a roadmap for responsible growth and development. The OCP sets a vision for the future, and helps provide guidance for Council, residents, and those who help build our city, ensuring that future planning decisions align with resident and Council priorities.

“It’s clear that our entire region is changing rapidly and that we must be prepared to address the opportunities and challenges that change will bring,” said Mayor Paul Horn. “To do that well, we need to hear from the people of this community to set out our new Official Community Plan.”Our plan will tell us what important challenges and opportunities the City is facing, becoming a key tool that will shape our communities for the future.

Public input is important to help us update the Official Community Plan, so please tell us what your Mission is. “There is no more proactive way to play a role in determining our future than to participate in this process,” said Horn. “Help us understand what needs to be preserved, enhanced, and changed here. It’s your home. Have your say!”

ing regulations within new customer categories in an ongoing effort to conserve water and ensure a reliable water supply during peak summer demands.

By taking a more proactive and preventative approach to water conservation, the updated water-use regulations will help to reduce demand and mitigate challenging drought conditions that have become more frequent in the region.

The staged water restrictions have been separated into three customer categories: residential; industrial and commercial; and, institutional (government, schools and parks). The new categories prioritize reductions in discretionary outdoor uses, such as lawn watering, and minimize impacts on businesses that rely on water to higher stages.

Under the updated Stage 1 restrictions, all lawn watering is limited to once per week; either Saturday or Sunday mornings for residences, or Monday or Tuesday mornings for non-residences, as determined by their address. Watering of plants, trees and decorative gardens is permitted daily, before 9 a.m., for all customers.

Edible plants are exempt from restrictions under Stages 1 through 3.

The AMWSC strongly encourages all customers to let their lawns go dormant to help further reduce demand, and reminds residents to follow simple year-round water conservation tips such as taking shorter showers and turning off the tap while mYN Aus qoN vfadf ilaf qy Aus dI iËMdgI ibhqr bxfAux leI hr qrHF dy sihXog dI brushing teeth or washing dishes.

AMWSC staff continually monitor water supplies and lake levels, as well as the provincial drought updates, to determine when further restrictions, and moving to higher stages of restrictions are necessary. Water restrictions in all stages apply to the use of the potable drinking water supply and not to harvested rain water, gray water, or other types of recycled water.

MLA Teresa Wat celebrates BC United statement on Bill 22 the upcoming proclamation Michael Lee, BC United's Shadow Minister for Attorney General and Indigenous Relations & Reconciliation, alongside Elenore Sturko, Shadow of Buddhist Culture Day Minister for Mental Health, Addiction, Recovery, and Education, today Teresa Wat, MLA for Richmond North Centre and BC United Shadow Minister for Multiculturalism, Anti-Racism Initiatives, Arts, and Culture welcomes the upcoming Buddhist Culture Day on May 5, 2024, with the following statement:

criticized the NDP’s decision to reject key amendments to Bill 22, the Safe Access to Schools Act. The proposed amendments were designed to strengthen the legislation by ensuring immediate and comprehensive protections for our children. In light of the rejection of these amendments, BC United will not be supportive of this legislation:

“The NDP’s refusal to adopt our common-sense amendments to Bill 22 is deeply disappointing and directly undermines the long-term safety of our children. The BC United Caucus firmly believes that children’s safety must be an immediate priority, not subject to compromise, which is why we find it inexcusable that the NDP rejected these measures, crucial for providing “Buddhist Culture Day recognizes and celebrates the profound contributions comprehensive protections. of the Buddhist community to British Columbia’s rich cultural tapestry.

May we all continue utilities and transportation networks. to embrace and promote the principles of understanding and mutual respect “The NDP’s short-sighted approach to Bill 22 reveals a troubling lack of across all cultures.” commitment to real and immediate safety measures. A BC United government will fix this legislation to ensure that B.C.’s schools and community spaces are secure and inclusive for everyone.”

“Following our successful advocacy last year for the first official proclamation of Buddhist Culture Day in B.C., I am thrilled to be marking the second year of this auspicious occasion alongside thousands of British Columbians next week.

Visiting India and Pakistan

After spending a few days in Lahore and visiting some of the Sikh Gurdwaras in the area it was time to move out to Islamabad and its neighboring city Rawalpindi. After having breakfast, we set out from Lahore to visit both of these cities and other historical places in the area. The motorway (highway) to both cities is excellent. That made our five-hour journey to be quite pleasant and comfortable.

Along the way, we saw a lot of large gardens laden with fruit. Also, it was great to see rest areas along the way. These rest areas had not only good washrooms but also decent shopping facilities and restaurants. At one of the rest areas we were pleased to see a tea stall selling almost twenty different varieties of tea. As we got closer to Islamabad, hills and mountains came into sight. The scenery along the entire route was also very pleasing. Finally, after couple of stops along the way and five hours drive, we arrived at our hotel in Rawalpindi.

After enjoying Èihr kihMdy sn. a delicious dinner, we retired into our rooms for the night. Next morning, after having breakfast, we left quite early for Hasn Abdal, home of the Panja Sahib Gurdwara. The motorway from Islamabad to Hasan Abdal and on to Peshawar is also in very good shape. Between Islamabad and Peshawar lies the historic Indus Valley. This is the area. that reminds one of various foreign invaders who came through to loot and massacre innocent people of Punjab in particular and India in general. Names like Alexander the Great, Mahmood Gaznavi, Mohammad Gauri and Babur etc. jump out. This area is also the cradle of ancient civilizations like Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa. This area was also home to one of India’s ancient and prominent universities , Taxila. Also, this was the area ruled by Maharaja Ranjit Singh.

Gurdwara management and volunteers gave us a very warm welcome and showed us around. The water coming from the spring on the hillside was very tasty. The Gurdwara has been kept in a very good shape by the management. All of us were very pleased to fit our hands (panjas) into the Panja carved in stone at this Gurdwara. Aimnabad and Peshawar are close by. Aimnabad is the same town where Guru Nanak ji was staying after his trip to the Middle East. It was the same time when Mughal ruler Babar had commenced his invasion of India and happened to be in Aimnabad. There was lot of bloodshed on the streets of Aimnabad. It was here that Guru ji called Babar, a jabar (Butcher) . After paying our obeisance at this Gurdwara and having langar we headed back to Taxila.

To its credit, the Archeological Survey of India has been doing an excellent job in restoring Nalanda university to its original form. However, in Taxila’s case, the government has collected all of the relevant artifacts, historical documents and other paraphernalia and placed it in a very impressive museum in Taxila. We were pleased to visit this museum on our way back to Rawalpindi. The chief curator of the museum was very kind to welcome us and share with us the history and other information about the Taxila university, the Archeological Museum, and Ancient Buddhist Monuments of Taxila, the Indus Velley civilization, and a lot more. It made our trip very productive. Balwant Sanghera (Balwant Sanghera is a retired School Psychologist and Community Activist. He has just returned from a trip to India and Pakistan.)
