Algonquins say mining company pact vital for community's future
Author: Curtis, Christopher
Publication info: Montreal Gazette ; Montreal, Que. [Montreal, Que]03 May 2017: A.3.
Abstract: Workers came and went, companies plundered gold from the earth and, in the very worst cases, dumped their waste into the rivers that had sustained life on the territory for millennia.Despite the history of distrust between his community and the mining industry, Kistabish announced an agreement Tuesday with RNC Minerals (formerly called Royal Nickel Corporation).In the midst of those negotiations, in 2014, the Supreme Court issued a ruling that made it essential for companies to consult with and accommodate First Nations who might be affected by their projects.The court decision ruled against the government of British Columbia for failing to consult with the Tsilhqot'in First Nation before granting a logging licence on their traditional hunting grounds.The biggest employer in town is the band council, followed by the forestry co-op and a service station, the chief says.

"It's merely reproducing the same issue, and it reinforces the notion that [the university] is operating outside the bounds of transparency," said Charles Menzies, an anthropology professor who is also a representative for residents on the UBC endowment lands.

Author: Skelton, Chad

Abstract:
Over the past few weeks, The Sun has invited all candidates for mayor and council in Metro Vancouver to complete a detailed online survey that asks candidates for their views on everything from taxes to supervised injection sites. Simon Fraser University political scientist Kennedy Stewart said The Sun's survey site provides a valuable service to voters because people often don't know as much about local candidates' views as those running for federal or provincial office.

Schools caught in advocate crossfire
Author: Christianson, Lauren
Publication info: Vancouver Courier ; Vancouver, B.C. [Vancouver, B.C]13 June 2008: 11.
Abstract:
Why do our schools need to have, as Dr. [Charles Menzies] says, "politically active parents, who have wealth and internal connections?" Is it not the responsibility of our government and the school board to ensure that a public education system has a plan in place for all schools equally? What does this teach our children? Does where a child lives determine their educational opportunities?

Author: Menzies, Charles
Publication info: Vancouver Courier ; Vancouver, B.C. [Vancouver, B.C]20 Feb 2008: 11.
Abstract:
In the educational facilities review discussion ongoing in Vancouver, it's a shame that the discussion is being turned from educational needs of our children to focus on UBC's role as developer. UBC is cast as in someway being negligent by creating much needed and relatively affordable places for people to live. In other parts of the city such actions are lauded. But not west of Blanca.

Vision sets sights on trustee candidates; UBC prof, parent activist considers political run: [Final Edition]
Author: O'Connor, Naoibh
Publication info: Vancouver Courier ; Vancouver, B.C. [Vancouver, B.C]11 Jan 2008: 16.
Abstract:
"I just felt the organization that Vision had seems to be more effective and more capable of actually putting in place a progressive majority," he said. "We need to have a progressive majority on the school board. [Progressive] means that people who believe strongly in public education, who as a primary goal don't want to see the privatization of education in any way shape or form."
"The [education] issues are so complex and so difficult and there are so many countervailing factors. It's more like steering a boat through a storm. You need to know where you're going, but you also have to follow the direction of the storm and you kind of have to work with it," he said. "I guess what I'm concerned about is the people with their hands on the steering wheel are really not going in the right direction."
"There's a lot of concern that there's not enough resources in the public school system in Vancouver right now. That's a concern for the people that are joining our committee and they're very focused on doing advocacy and whatever they can to increase those resources."

Students put North Coast life under the microscope: [Final Edition]
Author: Fox, Sarah
Publication info: Daily News ; Prince Rupert, B.C. [Prince Rupert, B.C]06 July 2006: 2.
Abstract:
Oralia Gomez, a masters student with the UBC department of anthropology produced an overview of services available for Aboriginal women in Prince Rupert. She did this by first studying what services were available in general and then studying whether Aboriginal women make use of those services.
Through her research, she came to the conclusion that, "there are services in Prince Rupert that have Kitkatla in their catchment area however there's a feeling of estrangement and a feeling of Kitkatla not being included, even though Kitkatla is included in funding initiatives."
Photo: Sarah Fox, The Daily News / Six UBC students carried out research studies during the month of June in Prince Rupert and Kitkatla. The students are from UBC's Enthnography Field School and currently studying to earn their Ph.D. or masters degrees in Anthropology. They worked with local service providers and the Kitkatla First Nation to complete the research studies.

City one for four in PAC vote: Membership in Save Our Schools cited by losing candidate: [Final Edition]
Author: O'Connor, Naoibh
Publication info: Vancouver Courier ; Vancouver, B.C. [Vancouver, B.C]07 May 2003: 14.
Abstract:
Elyn Dobbs, a West End resident and mother of five, landed a director's spot on the B.C. Confederation of Parent Advisory Councils. Three other local hopefuls, Debbie Desroches-Fulton, Charles Menzies and Andy Miller, lost their bids for office.
Although Dobbs, who mounted an unsuccessful campaign for a school board seat during the civic election, sat as a BCCPAC director during the 2001/02 school year, this year marked the first time in recent memory that Vancouver parent groups have fielded so many candidates.
All but two BCCPAC executive positions went to incumbents, with Terri Watson sliding into the president's chair, replacing controversial Reggi Balabanov. Dobbs tried for a vice-president position, but had to settle for a director's slot.

Balabanov to resign as leader of parent advisory councils: [Final Edition]
Author: Steffenhagen, Janet
Publication info: The Vancouver Sun ; Vancouver, B.C. [Vancouver, B.C]02 May 2003: A2.
Abstract:
Although her stance has alienated some parents, it has also guaranteed [Reggi Balabanov] exceptional access to the minister. During her time in office, [Christy Clark] has consulted with the confederation as much or more than any stakeholder group and has acted on recommendations from the group.
For example, the confederation has been calling on government to make education an essential service for 10 years. "People said 'thank you very much' and paternalistically patted us on the head," Balabanov said. The Liberals introduced essential services legislation shortly after being elected.

City parents run for provincial PAC: Vancouver needs voice, say candidates: [Final Edition]
Author: O'Connor, Naoibh
Publication info: Vancouver Courier ; Vancouver, B.C. [Vancouver, B.C]06 Apr 2003: 13.
Abstract:
Elyn Dobbs, who's running for a seat on the confederation board, maintains the only way for Vancouver parents to have a say on BCCPAC policy is to become involved in the organization. "I have a strong interest in the Vancouver voice being there," she said. "I won't go in and say, 'I won't vote for this because it's not good for Vancouver,' but I bring an urban perspective."
Dobbs, who served as a BCCPAC director for the 2001/2002 school year, said there have been times when only four or five Vancouver PACS were members, compared to roughly 70 this time round.
[Andy Miller] is currently in the United States and couldn't be reached by the Courier's deadline, but is hoping to become the organization's secretary or hold a director position. He has a six- year-old daughter and has been executive member of her school's PAC, as well as chair of the science committee. Miller has also acted as a DPAC and BCCPAC representative.

Parent advisory group splinters: Education lobby group 'in pocket' of Liberals, critics charge: [Final Edition]
Author: Steffenhagen, Janet
Publication info: The Vancouver Sun ; Vancouver, B.C. [Vancouver, B.C]15 Apr 2002: B1 / FRONT.
Abstract:
Liz Fendley, speaking for the Kitsilano parent advisory council, said Sunday she's been asked to raise these concerns at the confederation's annual general meeting next month.
It amounts to good news for the BCTF, which has been angry with the confederation's position on issues recently and pledged at its annual meeting in March to get more BCTF sympathizers on parent advisory councils and school boards.
Parent advisory councils from some 1,100 schools are members of the confederation, [Reggi Balabanov] said, and about 400 are not. While law provides for parent advisory councils in every school, not all have such councils.

McLaughlin's mom mad enough to boot in TV: [FINAL Edition]
Publication info: The Vancouver Sun ; Vancouver, B.C. [Vancouver, B.C]15 Sep 1993: A4.
Abstract:
NDP leader Audrey McLaughlin campaigned Tuesday in Regina, the hometown of her 78-year-old mother, Margaret Brown.
Candidate signs are signs of election time. But not for one party in Burnaby-Kingsway riding, where the National party says it won't be placing traditional lawn signs.
National candidate Daniel Fontaine says such non-recyclable lawn signs go against the party's environmental protection principles, which include: no export of Canadian water, strict enforcement of environmental laws, reforestation policies and encouragement of recycling.
