After more than a decade of being out of service, the Welcome Wagon has restarted in the South Cariboo. The Welcome Wagon program supports families by providing a gift basket full of community information, handy items and gift certificates to new parents or new residents. Local Welcome Wagon representative Jan Simpson says she has been working hard since last fall to set up the program, finding sponsors to provide the gifts, and preparing other family supports. “We provide a welcoming service to fami-

lies during lifestyle changes, such as moving to a new community or having a baby,” she explains. This often includes home visits and assisting newcomers and new parents with questions about the community and its services, she explains. “Anybody can call. If someone is far out of town, I can maybe meet them at a coffee shop somewhere.” The first two families Simpson gave out her baskets to have new babies. Therefore, many of the gifts were tailored toward infant items. The balance included certificates that virtually any family could use, from automotive to electronics and from coffee shops to 100

Mile House Free Press subscriptions. So far, a total of 34 businesses are sponsoring the community baskets, she notes. “Welcome Wagon has had great support from our local businesses.” The Community Basket currently has a value of more than $350, while the Baby Welcome Basket is worth more than $175. Sponsors can also gain something back from their support, as promotional items and local business information are among the helpful items, Simpson adds. Folks can find Welcome Wagon on Facebook, in 100 Mile House Free Press advertising, or by calling Simpson at 250395-1380, 250-706-9744, or e-mailing her at simpson.jan@shaw.ca.

Public medical pot meetings later this month The Cariboo Regional District is hosting a series of three public hearings that will be held in three South Cariboo communities later this month. The meetings are being held to solicit important public feedback on some proposed text amendments regarding medical marijuana grow operations in the regional disrtrict. The amendments propose to allow legal medical marijuana grow operations as a use in Heavy Industrial zoned areas only. The amendments would also exclude cultivating medical marijuana under the definition of Agricultural Operation in the regional district bylaws. All three of these local public hearings will each commence at 7 p.m. They will be held in the Lone Butte Community Hall on April 23; the Forest Grove Community Hall on April 28; and the 108 Mile Community Centre on April 29.

B.C. boosts gas industry

To stimulate job creation and industry growth in the oil and gas sector, the B.C. Liberal government will make $120 million in royalties available for new road and pipeline projects under the Infrastructure Royalty Credit Program (IRCP). New investments in infrastructure projects

will increase industry’s access to promising resource areas, and support year-round work in exploration and production, providing well-paying jobs and business opportunities in northeast British Columbia. Since 2004, the province has awarded more than $830 million in

royalties to eligible oil and gas companies through IRCP, resulting in more than 200 new or upgraded all-season roads and pipeline projects in B.C. during the past decade. These projects represent a total capital investment of more than $1.9 billion, without direct cost to

government. The program requires oil and gas companies to fund the entire cost of an approved infrastructure project, such as a road. Once completed, the companies are then eligible to recover up to 50 per cent of the project’s costs. This approach stimulates year-round activity and

Help for small business, residents Bill Bennett, Minister of Energy and Mines and Minister Responsible for Core Review, recently announced that LiveSmart BC is working with BC Hydro and FortisBC to jointly develop funded energy conservation programs to continue to help homeowners and small businesses make energy efficiency improvements. With the conclusion of the LiveSmart BC: Small Business program on March 31, the Business Energy Advisor (BEA) service transitioned to BC Hydro, which now oversees five BEA positions, with co-funding from FortisBC. They will continue to offer free energy assessments and provide recommendations to small businesses on energy efficiency upgrades. They continue to offer energy-efficient product incentives, which the BEAs will help eligible businesses apply for. BC Hydro will issue the request for proposals for five BEAs this spring and LiveSmart BC will remain involved in the BEA program. To help residential customers reduce their water and space heating costs, BC Hydro and FortisBC will be expanding the incentives available to residential customers, beyond those currently offered under the LiveSmart BC program. To help customers reduce their bills by using less electricity, BC Hydro is investing $1.6 billion in Power Smart programs dur-

ing the government’s 10 Year Plan. This includes funding to provide energy efficiency kits free of charge

to eligible low-income British Columbians, and funding for the Energy Conservation Assistance Program for

free energy assessments, refrigerator replacements and insulation upgrades to low-income households.

generates additional royalty revenue to the province. Oil and gas companies can apply for the latest instalment of IRCP until April 16, 2014. Applications will be ranked according to their potential benefits with approval going to the projects that demonstrate the highest economic benefits to B.C.

B.C. not ready for big earthquake

By Tom Fletcher Black Press

Seventeen years ago, British Columbia’s Auditor General warned B.C. wasn’t prepared for an earthquake, and recently the same warning was repeated. Auditor General Russ Jones released a report that noted his surprise at the lack of progress since his predecessor George Morfitt came to a similar conclusion. “Progress has been made in some areas over this intervening period, but the province is still at a significant risk if a catastrophic earthquake were to occur today,” Jones wrote. Attorney General Suzanne Anton said she accepts the report’s recommendations. She added she agrees with the auditor’s conclusion that Emergency Management B.C. is too busy dealing with 6,000 floods, fires and other incidents to develop a broader plan for B.C. Asked about the auditor’s conclusion that a succession of provincial governments hasn’t made preparations a priority, Anton replied: “I’m making it a priority.” A new assistant deputy minister has been hired to work on the project, having done similar disaster preparedness work with the Canadian Armed Forces, she said.

On March 11, the government announced a public consultation on earthquake preparedness that will tour the province and report by the end of the year. The announcement was overshadowed when Premier Christy Clark stepped in to cancel the appointment of former Chilliwack MLA John Les as chair. Henry Renteria,

former director of California’s Office of Emergency Services, was promoted from vice-chair. NDP public safety critic Kathy Corrigan called the auditor’s assessment “a stunning indictment of the lack of preparedness in British Columbia,” and pointed to the lack of investment in B.C. Liberal budgets.

B.C. economy rebound forecasted

Cariboo Connector Friday, April 11, 2014

By Tom Fletcher Black Press

A lower Canadian dollar and a slow recovery in the United States and around the world bode well for the British Columbia economy in the next two years, according to a new report from the Business Council of B.C. (BCBC). “The U.S. economy is gaining ground, the Eurozone is out of recession, and Asia, particularly China, continues to expand at a robust clip,” said executive vice-president Jock Finlayson when he released the BCBC eco-

nomic outlook report recently. “The weakening of the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar will help lift B.C.’s export of goods and services to the U.S., prompt more U.S. travellers to come to B.C., and serve as a headwind to cross-border shopping.” The report forecasts improvement in United States demand for lumber and other building materials, wood pulp and natural gas, which has fallen to historic lows with a surge of shale gas production around North America. “I’ve got a desk covered with resumes of

people who work in the oil patch,” said Don Banasky, operations manager at CopCan Contracting Ltd. and FallTech Logging in Nanaimo and TLA vicepresident. Banasky said there are openings for road building, driller-blaster, grader and excavator operators in his operations and some employees at remote oil and gas developments are anxious to work closer to home. The BCBC report holds out hope for a B.C. Liberal government that has seen its much-advertised jobs plan fizzle in the past

Low-income seniors and people with a terminal illness can get a legal hand with making a will, through programs offered by Access Pro Bono.
