Port eyes quick coal terminal decision Jeff Nagel Black Press
Stung by public opposition to coal exports, Port Metro Vancouver officials are pledging more consultation and open houses next month over a contentious plan to build a new coal terminal at Fraser Surrey Docks.
But a decision could then be made swiftly, according to Duncan Wilson, the port’s vice-president of corporate social responsibility.
“If things go relatively well and we’re confident issues within our purview are adequately addressed, then I think we could probably see a decision before the end of June,” he said.
The two open houses on May 23 and 25 will respond to public concerns raised to date, present measures to address impacts and gather more feedback.
Councils in Vancouver and New Westminster have opposed the new coal terminal, while Delta, Surrey and White Rock councils have expressed concerns and sought more information.
Metro Vancouver directors have also registered concerns about air quality impacts.

Howay parents upset at losing ‘fantastic’ administratorGrant Grangerggranger@newwestnewsleader.com
Three principal openings have caused a major reshuffling of New Westminster school administrators and not everybody is happy about it.
Some parents at F.W. Howay elementary are upset principal Ken Millard is being transferred
to Lord Kelvin elementary, one of the most challenging schools in the district to run. He will be replaced at Howay by current Queen Elizabeth elementary principal Jamie Sadler.
Howay parent advisory council (PAC) co-chair Marian Baseden would not comment because the executive hasn’t had a chance to meet to discuss the move that came down Tuesday. However, she did say before Millard’s arrival
in September 2010 there had been some upheaval at the school because
the year before the principal Barb Keating had retired in the middle of the school year and was replaced by an interim administrator.
“[Millard] is a fantastic principal. He’s really brought the community together,” said Baseden. “Everyone’s
sad. Ken was a great principal, and no one wants to see him leave.”
Superintendent John Woudzia,
who made the changes, said the district prefers to leave principals in place for four years or more and then look at a rotation, but when there are a lot of openings it’s not unusual to have someone change places after only three.
He said his decisions are made in consultation with his senior management team, the principals and vice-principals association, and the candidates themselves, a process that took nearly three weeks.
Principal changes affect several schools

“We try to accommodate people’s preferences and we certainly don’t want people going somewhere where they don’t want to be going,” said Woudzia, who noted the three openings are essentially 25 per cent of the schools in the district.
District director of instruction Sandra Pace has been running Kelvin since the departure of principal Daljeet Rama, who left to take a job in Surrey.
Phil Cookson, currently the district’s director of human resources, will be taking over as principal of New Westminster secondary to replace retiring principal Mary Bushman.
Cookson has only been in his current position for this school year. In 2011-12 he made $114,000 for being in charge of community education while Bushman earned $124,000. Before getting that position he was principal of Glenbrook middle school for seven years.
“I had a look at it and felt it was a good fit with the complexity of the school and its needs,” said Woudzia.
He said the district will be looking for a new director of human resources to replace Cookson.
Glenbrook middle school vice-principal Suzanne Cameron will move up the street to become principal of Herbert Spencer elementary replacing Tracy Fulton who is retiring. Cameron will be replaced at Glenbrook by Lisa Nasato, currently a vice-principal at Lord Tweedsmuir elementary.
While Millard had also been responsible for Hume Park elementary, Allan Saugstad will become that school’s vice-principal while also administering the district’s home learners program out of the school.
Sadler will be replaced at Queen Elizabeth by NWSS vice-principal Rhonda Anderson. Lord Tweedsmuir’s new vice-principal will be Hillary Devries.

Fraser Health pulls funding for team that works with homelessGrant Grangerggranger@newwestnewsleader.com
Fraser Health’s decision not to fund Cliff Block’s outreach services in New Westminster will mean a regression in the progress the city has made dealing with homelessness.
That’s the opinion of not only the Lookout Society, which received the funding, but city council as well.
Fraser Health recently reviewed its contract with Lookout to run the Cliff Block, which houses 23 people with mental health or addiction issues in Downtown New Westminster, and determined the outreach services being provided by Lookout actually fall under BC Housing’s mandate and not that of the regional health authority.
The change has forced Lookout to lay off an outreach worker, as well as cut back on janitorial and other staff services affecting three other employees.
“We’re quite concerned,” said Lookout executive director Karen O’Shannacery. “To me it’s profoundly frustrating, but it’s really a massive concern. It means we’re not going to be able to meet the needs of a lot of the local residents of New West.”
According to Fraser Health spokeswoman Tasleen Juma, Lookout receives $99,000 a year to support Cliff Block’s tenants, and $184,000 for outreach work. It is funding the health authority has been providing since 2003. But in February, Fraser Health realized it had been funding a service that five years ago became the responsibility of BC Housing. The outreach team helps homeless people find places to live, and also points them in the right direction to getting the help they need. Those services, according to Fraser Health, are not clinical.
Juma said the authority is willing to increase its tenant support to ensure someone is on duty at Cliff Block all the time, and is currently negotiating with Lookout on how much
that will cost.“Our priority is the client
support,” said Juma. “We want to reassure them the service is still there, and will continue to be there. We don’t want to cause any stress for our clients (at Cliff Block).”
Juma said Fraser Health gave Lookout 90 days notice of the decision, instead of the 30 it was obligated to provide, so it can get the necessary support from BC Housing—which she said she has been assured they would provide.
O’Shannacery said she received a different response.
“BC Housing is saying they have no money to do this. My comment to Fraser Health is that homelessness is a determinant of health, and I very strongly believe Fraser Health has an important role in the provision of these health services,” said O’Shannacery.
She said there were bones of contention between Lookout and Fraser Health over the control of data as well as the tenant selection process that led the authority to look at the contract and decide to reduce
services.O’Shannacery said it’s
better to have outreach workers on the street forming relationships and providing services when needed than to call in the police every time there’s a problem. According to her, Fraser Health’s position that a clinical team of doctors, nurses and staff it established in February to provide services on a case management basis won’t be as effective as an outreach team.
Fraser Health’s decision upset city councillors when they got the news.
“This is quite shocking because New Westminster has done such a good job of outreach and putting people into shelters and getting them off the streets, and anything like this is certainly a step backwards,” said Coun. Lorrie Williams during Monday’s council meeting.
Coun. Chuck Puchmayr said losing the outreach funding will be costly to the city because it will put more of a burden on the police.

New Westminster council wants to let residents know it is taking action against Fraser Surrey Docks’ (FSD) plans for a coal transfer facility.
“We need to let the community know what we’re doing,” said Coun. Betty McIntosh at council’s Monday meeting. “The local papers haven’t been covering what the city has done. By doing that they have implied we have done nothing.”
McIntosh said many residents are under the impression council has done nothing. On the contrary, she said, the city expressed concerns about coal dust coming across the river to New Westminster and about Port Metro Vancouver’s (PMV) approval process as soon as they heard about it.
McIntosh recommended the city’s website outline what the city has done on the issue.
Council approved having city staff develop a strategy with PMV on an acceptable public consultation process.
PMV announced earlier this week it would hold two open houses in May on the issue with representatives from FSD and Burlington Northern Santa Fe railway answering questions.
“There’s no real public consultation,” said Coun. Bill Harper of the port authority’s announcement.
New Westminster-Burnaby MP Peter Julian is calling on the federal government to put a halt to an application for a coal-transfer facility by Fraser Surrey Docks pending an in-depth
review. In a letter to Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities Denis Lebel, Julian asks the ministry to review the health effects the expansion would have on the surrounding area, including New Westminster.
FSD has applied to Port Metro Vancouver to build a facility to accommodate the transfer of
up to four million tonnes of coal annually from trains originating in Wyoming to barges that shuttle the coal to freighters at Texada Island for shipment overseas.
Julian said he has received many complaints from his constituents about the possibility of adverse health effects on the community.
“While Port Metro Vancouver has conducted evaluations regarding health and air quality, none of them address the issue of coal dust, which is a growing concern,” wrote Julien.
“There is documented evidence of an increase in coal dust pollution, which is seriously affecting the health and safety of families residing by the Port Metro Vancouver area. My office has been receiving a steady flow of complaints from constituents.”
Since PMV is accountable to Lebel’s ministry, Julian asked him for the review and to pressure the port authority to do full public hearings.
“Residents have the right to be heard. They also have the right to a thorough transparent assessment of the health and safety consequences of the expansion of the Fraser Surrey Docks,” wrote Julian, who in another letter to PMV asked it to hold public hearings.
We are doing something about coal plan: council

Business as unusual: The corner of Sixth and Columbia streets has become a decent little hub, with shops like Karmavore and Lofty Living, and Drink Urban Lounge and Starbucks. But when Urban Gypsy furniture shop shut around Christmas at 611 Columbia, it was replaced a few weeks later by a new “Internet marketing” business that favoured black curtains in the windows, and was closed to the general public.
Suffice to say, it raised a stir, prompting many calls to City Hall. The groups of young men hanging out on the sidewalk smoking, spitting and swearing also didn’t help.
The city’s manager of business licences, Keith Coueffin, said once the folks behind the curtains finally applied for a licence they were denied, in part due to insufficient detail of what the web wizards were up to.
A couple weeks ago I happened to be outside 611 as they were moving out. Young men toted dozens of hard drives and monitors to the waiting trucks, and I noticed a chalkboard announcing the night shifts for
the female employees. A lot of names with ‘i’ at the end. What was going on there, one can only guess.
Angry about something?: In the editor’s chair, you come across plenty of people with a beef to vent. These folks are vital to the community conversation. At this paper we have many thoughtful, well-spoken contributors, but if there’s one thing lamentable in some letters to the editor, it’s a lack of tact.
They make important points, and raise important issues, but leap to the attack too fast, get defensive or simply use WAY TOO MANY CAPITALS AND EXCLAMATION POINTS!!! (which I edit out, incidentally, and you’d be surprised how quickly the person sounds sane.)
Another tendency that makes my head want to explode because
it’s the worst thing ever in the entire history of the world is exaggeration.
A good argument can stand well enough on its own, hopefully bolstered by some confirmed facts. If you blow it out of proportion with hyperbole people will just say, c’mon.
A little tact doesn’t just apply to letters to the editor of course, it goes a long way anytime you’re making an inportant argument.
People don’t like being pushed, or told what to think. Oh, for sure there’s a time to scream and yell, but nine times out of 10, whether the goal is to convince the readers of this paper, a spouse or a boss, the game is more often won if you make a sound argument and seem fair-minded.
Now I am forty-two: Forgive the indulgence, but a few thoughts upon reaching the age of 42...
For the first time, I can see the horizon with the naked eye, and that’s something that’s taking a little getting used to.
At 42, I’ve noticed, hair comes, hair goes. Enough said.
As a 40-something man, I’ve
learned, I can take my young sons to a restaurant, and a pretty young waitress will walk up, furrow her brow, then call out, “Does anyone know where the parents of these little boys are?”
Invisibility is not limited to men my age, of course.
My hearing, incidentally, is better than ever. Restaurants seem louder, anyway.
Coffee? None after 3 p.m. thanks. Beer? Nothing carbonated.
And when someone says something like, “Want to go waterskiing—know how?” I must remind myself—truthfully—how long it’s been since I was 14 on Lake Skaha. In the fifth decade of life you train for these activities. Go to the gym.
At 42, I see young folks as suddenly needing my advice (They don’t). But if a young man were to ask for some, I’d tell him this: Given a choice between the prettier girl or the fun girl, always choose the latter. If you can find someone who is both, as I did, ask her to marry you as soon as possible.
Aww. Did I mention you get sentimental with age?
Risky business, and the art of tact
We weren’t standing in the line of fire. We weren’t hit by shards of shrapnel. We didn’t smell the acrid smoke or feel the percussive thrust, but we were all hurt deeply by the horrific explosions at the Boston Marathon.
The aftermath of the bombings had most of us glued to the news, hoping to learn why.
The answer may never come, or if it does, it may not make sense. It’s difficult to make sense of the senseless.
Terrorist acts like these bombings are meant to hurt us all. Some of us physically, brutally, even more of us at an emotional level.
Fear is a weapon easily wielded, a disease that too quickly spreads.
Whether or not you’re a runner, you likely felt that fear, that vulnerability. You may have shed tears for people you’ve never met. Perhaps you said a prayer or hugged your loved ones a little closer.
Fred Rogers was often quoted in the wake of the bombings. The U.S. children’s TV host, Mister Rogers said: “When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’”
After the bombings, many stories focused on the survivors and those who came to their rescue. Selfless bystanders who rendered aid, those who staunched the flow of blood with bare hands, carried the wounded to safety.
Here, far from the scene of the carnage, we showed our support and solidarity with those personally affected by the blasts.
Our community came together to remember those affected by the Boston bombings; runners wore ribbons, vigils were held.
We may continue to feel the emotional impact of the blasts, but we must remember, we can’t run from fear. Rather, we should run despite it.

COMMENTRe: Union-driven agenda harming public education (Letters, NewsLeader, April 10)
Mr. Townsend misses the point when he says that class size doesn’t matter. With a class of 30+ students, some of which have significant behaviour and learning challenges, teachers are hard pressed to give as frequent feedback as they’d like. They’re also less able to collect and use assessment information to guide their instruction as well as they’d like, and to devote the kind of one-on-one time each individual student needs.
I am lucky! I have a classroom of 20 students, and I think I manage well, but I could certainly do more. My peers with classes of 30+ are envious, because they’d all love to be able to give their students the same level of attention.
I am at work near 7 a.m. and usually leave around 4 p.m. I work some hours during weekends, as well as during evenings to do marking, plan ahead and to administer my classroom. Sometimes I have no time for lunch or do not take a break at recess because students need support. I am not alone, as many of my peers do much the same thing. I know many teachers with high standards and expectations, and I have a high level of respect for them. In fact, I would be hard pressed to live up to the expectations of some of these educators.
Mr. Townsend, are you a father? How much quality time would you have with your children if you had 5, 10, 30
kids in your family? The more students, the less time teachers have to address what needs addressing—that’s the bottom line.
Yves LaforestNew Westminster

Class size does matter. Any person who works or
volunteers in a school can tell you this. However, as Mr. Townsend pointed out, if you Google “Class size doesn’t matter,” you will find a number of articles claiming to disprove the positive correlation between smaller classes and student achievement.
The article Mr. Townsend references was published by Forbes magazine. According to the Forbes article, student achievement is positively correlated with teacher feedback, use of data to guide instruction, high-dosage tutoring, increased instructional time and high expectations.
All of these things are found more readily when classes are smaller. When classes are smaller, teachers are able to provide a higher quality and quantity of feedback to students. Instructional time is increased as teachers are able to spend more time “teaching” and less time managing students. Teachers are able to spend more time analyzing data, as there is less data to analyze, and can spend more time using the data to guide their instruction.
If you Google “class size does matter,” you will also find
a number of articles that show the link between smaller class size and student academic achievement.
One such article, published on The Johns Hopkins University School of Education website, shows the positive correlation between small class size (15-20 students per class) and academic achievement.
Academic gains were shown most strongly in the primary grades. The positive effects were shown to have a lasting positive impact well in to the students’ academic life.
The BC Teachers’ Federation fights for smaller class sizes because it does matter. It determines the academic success each student experiences.

Great care at rcHAs to your recent Question
of the Week, “Do you feel confident in the level of care provided at Royal Columbian Hospital?”
Six years ago I would have given you a resounding NO, but when I broke my elbow in January 2011, I had excellent ER treatment and diagnosis, surgery on the day specified and wonderful follow-up physiotherapy so I’d say YES, the level of care at RCH is definitely improving.

VICTORIA – Child care policies offer a clear choice between the B.C. Liberals and the NDP in the May 14 provincial election.
Premier Christy Clark wants to take a provincially funded savings account set up for each child born since 2007, and hand out $1,200 to parents who open a Registered Education Savings Plan to begin saving for post-secondary training. Former premier Gordon Campbell established the fund when the B.C. government was enjoying budget surpluses, before the 2008 downturn in the world economy.
That’s added to the B.C. Liberal “early years strategy” that includes full-day kindergarten, $142 million for child care subsidies, $34 million for “Success by Six” programs in 225 communities, and an additional $32 million promised over three years to help create new licensed child care spaces.
NDP leader Adrian Dix has promised to cancel the RESP and other new spending, and redirect it to a “Family Bonus Program,” a direct subsidy of up to $70 per month, per child for low-income families starting in 2014.
The NDP plan would pay the full amount to families with annual income of $25,000 or less, with payments decreasing on a sliding scale to families with income under $66,000. Applying to all children under 18, the bonus program is projected to cost $210 million a year.
Platform highlights:
• The B.C. Conservative pre-election platform offers no specific programs for child care or early childhood education. Its September 2012 policy document supports “the principle that parents are the child’s first and most important teachers.”
B.C. Conservatives also support a school voucher system, “ensuring that taxpayers’ dollars follow the student to provincially approved educational options,” and the principle that social services be “delivered by community-based organizations rather than directly by government.”
• The B.C. Green platform promises to create “local child care trusts” monitored by the province. Promised services include “child care, in-home support, emergency and crisis services, a guaranteed livable income and safe and adequate housing.”
The B.C. Green platform offers no costing estimate for any of its programs.
• The B.C. Liberals would require school districts to promote use of school property by licensed child care providers from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays, and create a province-wide child care registry.
• The B.C. NDP would immediately double earnings exemption for employable income assistance recipients, and allow a further

An NDP government would appoint an expert panel to examine the option of selling BC Place stadium to a private operator.
“Skills training, health care, education and managing our land base are all fundamental priorities for the government,” NDP leader Dix said in Vancouver Wednesday. “Retractable roofs and stadium management, in my view, are not.”
B.C. Liberal leader Christy Clark, campaigning in Sicamous Wednesday, dismissed Dix’s announcement as “a stunt,” presented without evidence that there is any possible buyer. Clark said the proposal is designed to deflect attention from the NDP’s plans to increase government spending.
The stadium and Vancouver convention centre are operated by PavCo, a Crown corporation that supervised a
$531 million renovation and retractable roof for the stadium.
The project was initially budgeted at $365 million,
characterized by the NDP as a cost overrun. B.C.
Liberals have insisted the extra costs were
added for a refit of the stadium as well as the new roof.
The budget for the grass-roofed convention centre budget rose from the original $495 million to a total cost of
$883 million, in a rush to get it finished in time to serve as international media centre for the 2010 Olympics. Problems with piledriving and other aspects of the waterfront complex ran up costs and construction time.
PavCo’s latest financial statements report a debt of $1.25 billion, and forecast BC Place operating losses of $87.3 million for the five years ending in spring 2016. In the same period, the convention centre
expects an operating loss of $11.6 million.
Dix said if the NDP forms a government after the May 14 election, independent experts will be given 90 days to review the operation of both facilities.
B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins has pledged to end subsidies to PavCo operations and sell the naming rights to BC Place.
A proposed 20-year deal to sell the naming rights to Telus fell through early last year.

OUTST NDING
New Westminster Secondary School recently participated in the CANstruction event in Vancouver. This event matches architects, engineers and students from all over the region to design and build sculptures entirely made out of cans. All the cans were donated to the food bank. New West’s team built Optimus Prime as a robot and a truck, and the jet version of Starscream, donating about 5,500 cans of tuna. The school was presented with the Can-Do Award.
John Affleck’s family remembered him earlier this month week by buying a Heart Tile for the Cardiac Wall and donating to Cardiac Services at Royal Columbian Hospital. Even though Affleck succumbed to infection following open-heart surgery in December, his family wrote a letter of gratitude to the RCH cardiac team, saying, “Even though this is not a letter celebrating a miracle of recovery, it is with our humble gratitude that we applaud and thank each of you for going above and beyond to care for John during the last days of his life.”
Students enrolled in the Justice Institute of B.C.’s Primary Care Paramedic Certificate and Law Enforcement Studies Diploma programs now have access to an additional source of funding to cover the cost of their tuition. Canadian Western Bank has invested $25,000 in a new award that will be distributed in five annual awards of $1,000 each, over the next five years. Pictured are (L-R) Greg Sprung of Canadian Western Bank (CWB), Marg Vandenberg of JIBC, Mario Furlan of CWB and Dr. Michel Tarko, president of JIBC.
Mila Djuras is going to have to renovate her trophy case to make it bigger. Expect it to look stylish.
That’s because the owner and designer of Intermind Designs will be adding three Ovation awards she received from the Greater Vancouver Home Builders Association at a gala ceremony on Saturday.
Intermind, which Djuras runs out of her Queen’s Park home, was recognized with a Grand Ovation award as the small volume RenoMark renovator of the year as well as Ovation awards for the best accessible renovation and the best renovation under $250,000.
The accolades are just the latest for Intermind, which has also won Georgies and previous Ovation awards for various renovation projects around Metro Vancouver.
“I try to have a timeless look while at the same time be edgy,” Djuras told the NewsLeader last year.
“We’ve established ourselves as a company that can do eclectic work.”

Is Your Child Safe when Grandpa Can't Hear?
Finally! Your long-awaited romantic weekend getaway with your spouse is near. Reservations confirmed? Check. Dancing shoes packed? Check. Babysitter lined up? Check.
Grandma and Grandpa, who better?
Better recheck that babysitter before you head out the door. Before you hire a stranger, you are going to investigate them pretty carefully, aren't you? But your folks usually get a pass, even if they don't hear so well. After all, they love your kids and whose hearing isn't going downhill?
The current statistics from the Better Hearing Institute are that one in six baby boomers have hearing loss and 3 in 10 of people over 65 have hearing loss; seniors in their 80's have greater than a 50% incidence of hearing loss. However, keep in mind that these statistics don't tell the whole story. Almost everyone knows at least one person who has a hearing loss that is affecting communications but resolutely refuses to acknowledge or do anything about it.
If your child's babysitter is one of the 24 million people who need hearing aids and don't have them, there could be serious problems. Effective caregivers need to be environmentally vigilant to assure the safety of your child; the ability to hear is a key component in assuring the safety of your child. The risks of not hearing a smoke or carbon monoxide detector, an intruder, or a child crying in the backyard could be fatal or result in an injury. Spending too much time speech reading while driving can cause a crash, as can failing to hear a siren. Older children have been known to take advantage of an adult's hearing loss to get “permission” to do something the adult wouldn't agree to if they understood what the child said.
Before heading out for that weekend, consider this:
General Child CareA 66-year-old man was aggravated that his wife dragged him in to a hearing evaluation, and decided that he did not need the amplification the audiologist recommended. (His wife just didn't talk right.) 18 months later he was back. While watching his three-year-old grandson, the child had opened the screen door of the living room while his grandfather was there and wandered down the street. A neighbour found and returned him, and the family forced him to get his hearing checked and get amplification if he was ever again to sit with his beloved grandson. After reluctantly getting his hearing aids, he returned two days later, laughing and shaking his head. “What a fool I have been. This is not bad at all.”
If you or a loved one has difficulty hearing, please call Beltone for a complimentary hearing evaluation. Our practitioners have many years of experience helping people hear better. We can even arrange to do the evaluation and the hearing aid fitting in the comfort and convenience of your home.

I f you like your art with a healthy dose of activism, Bert Monterona has something you can sink your teeth into. Struggle, the latest exhibit at the Amelia
Douglas Gallery at Douglas College, is a collection of Monterona’s murals, paintings and tapestries, all of which draw attention to concerns around the environment, human migration, global warming, peace and more.
“I am a political activist and a person who has a deep concern for the social and environmental issues that affect the lives of humans, animals and all living things,” Monterona says. “My
concern is with the planet where I live and the future of it for all humanity.”
His art is social realism: art as it relates to social consciousness and awareness of political issues. Thus, Peace Talk depicts a circle of wild animals whose habitat is threatened by industry and urban creep, while Global Warming II shows animals on the move and birds in flight, the path below strewn with skulls.
“Symptoms of full destruction are happening in different parts of the world,” Monterona says, “and artists should do something about it. It is time to act now. Creating this work is a move to save the earth.”
Struggle runs to June 7 at the Amelia Douglas Gallery, Douglas College.

Tom FletcherBlack Press
Parties in the May 14 B.C. election have highlighted their commitments to improve post-secondary skills training. The province faces a wave of baby boomer retirements, shortages in trades and industrial jobs, an increase in temporary foreign workers and under-employment of some university graduates.
Trades and apprenticeship training is a major point of dispute. The B.C. Liberal-created Industry Trade Authority has increased apprentices from 16,000 in 2001 to 34,000, but the NDP counters that percentage completion rates have declined.
Independent Contractors and Businesses Association president Phil Hochstein argues that with many more young people in the apprenticeship system, the number of graduates is at a record level.
Platform highlights:
• The B.C. NDP’s biggest commitment is $100 million for a post-secondary student grant program, to be funded by a capital tax on large financial institutions. NDP leader Adrian Dix also promises $40 million new investment for skills training, to “increase apprenticeship training spaces, shorten completion times and improve completion rates.”
The NDP notes that while the B.C. Liberal government touts its jobs plan in ads, its February budget projects a $42 million cut to the advanced education ministry over three years.
• The B.C. Liberals highlight a $75 million commitment for upgrading training facilities and equipment, on top of the $500 million annual skills training budget.
The B.C. Liberals emphasize plans to expand vocational
training in high schools, and encourage partnerships between high schools and employers. Their platform also promises to develop “relevant training programs” for B.C. residents to work in the LNG industry.
• The B.C. Conservatives promise to “increase training
and apprenticeships in the trades and technical
sector,” but don’t specify how. They also
promise to increase on-line learning capabilities in colleges and
technical institutes, and give qualified B.C. students priority for admission to the province’s post-secondary institutions.
• The B.C. Green Party promises to eliminate interest on student debt over five years, “immediately” cut tuition by 20 per cent, create a grant program for low-income students, increase core funding for colleges and universities by $200 million and provide training for laid-off workers.
Black Press FilesSkilled trades are in short supply for many industrial employers, while many university graduates are under-employed.
