B.C. unveils new pension option

New legislation introduced by the B.C. government will create an important option for people to save for retirement and provide an ad-ditional financial safety net for the ap-proximately two-thirds of B.C. workers who do not have access to group pension plans, Finance Minister Michael de Jong said today.

Following on the heels of similar legisla-tion enacted by the federal government in December, de Jong introduced the Pooled Registered Pension Plans Act, which will make all workers in B.C. eligible to enrol in defined-contribution pension plans.

The bill is part of a national effort to make well-regulated, low-cost pension plans available to millions of Canadians who do not have occupational pension plans.

Pooled Registered Pension Plans (PRPPs) will be managed by licensed financial institutions, reducing administrative burdens for employers and providing tax advantages to employers that are not available under alternative models such as group RRSPs.

Based on consultations with stakeholder groups, including the Vancouver Board of Trade, the B.C. Chamber of Com-merce and the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, B.C. has elected to make employer enrolment in these plans optional. If an employer chooses to offer a PRPP to its employees, they will be automatically enrolled and have the right to opt out.

Employers will not be obligated to make matching contributions. Workers whose employers do not set up a PRPP will be able to deal directly with a PRPP admin-istrator to open an account similar to opening an RRSP.

The Office of the Superintendent of Fi-nancial Institutions, a federal regulatory agency, has established a framework for licensing and regulating financial insti-tutions that are interested in becoming PRPP administrators.

Quebec, Alberta and Saskatchewan have signalled their intention to pass similar PRPP legislation. B.C. has been working closely with the federal government to ensure this additional savings instrument is available to British Columbians as quickly as possible.

John van Dongen, MLA Abbotsford-South is ques-tioning the recent nomina-tion of Marvin Hunt as the BC Liberal Candidate for Surrey-Panorama. In a media inter-view with the Surrey Leader, Marvin Hunt identified himself as a proponent of building a waste-to-energy incinerator in North Surrey.

In the interview Hunt is re-ported as saying, The critics need to see what has been accomplished in other areas of the world. Most of them

cannot comprehend what has been done in Paris, they can-not comprehend it being right in the downtown. At this point in time, my proposal would be we put it in industrial areas that surround the downtown, pos-sibly just off the South Fraser Perimeter Road.

It is unbelievable to me that the Premier is supporting the nomination of a BC Liberal candidate who is encouraging the building of an incinerator in the Lower Mainland, said van Dongen. Why would they nominate a candidate who is an advocate for a waste-to-energy incinerator which would di-rectly impact our airshed and which is so strongly opposed by the citizens of the Fraser Valley?

Earlier this week, van Don-gen rose in Question Period to grill Environment Minister Terry Lake regarding Metro Vancouvers lack of real and meaningful consultation with

the Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD) as he had previously promised.

Van Dongen reminded the Leg-islature that in July 2011 the minister made a controversial decision when he approved a solid waste management plan that opened the door for a large garbage-burning incinerator in the Lower Mainland expected to have a serious impact on the Fraser Valley airshed.

I worked hard with the com-munity and other leaders to shut down SE2 and I will continue to fight the incinera-tor project, said van Dongen. My question is, given the total lack of consultation by Metro Vancouver with the FVRD, is the BC Liberal government prepared to draw a line in the sand and stop any plans to build a large incinerator in the Lower Mainland? Citizens living in the Fraser Valley deserve to know where the BC Liberals truly stand on this issue.

VAN DONGEN DISMAYED BY PREMIERS DECISION TO NOMINATE PROPONENT OF WASTE-TO-ENERGY INCINERATOR AS BC LIBERAL CANDIDATE

Super Visa is Super PopularOver 15,000 Parent and

Grandparent Super Visas Issued More than 1,000 Super Visas Issued each Month

More than 15,000 Parent and Grandparent Super Visas have been issued since the programs launch in December 2011, Citizenship, Immigration and Multi-culturalism Minister Jason Kenney announced today.

The Parent and Grandparent Super Visa provides families with flex-ibility, and it is clearly growing in popularity, said Minister Kenney. Our government is committed to family reunification. I am pleased to see that more and more parents and grandparents are getting the opportu-nity to spend longer periods of time with their loved ones in Canada.

With over 1,000 Super Visas issued monthly, approval rates remain high at 86 percent. The Super Visaa

multiple entry visa valid for up to 10 yearsallows parents and grand-parents to visit Canada for up to two years at a time. This Super Visa gives visiting parents and grandparents the freedom to travel back and forth be-tween Canada and their home country without long waits.

The process for getting a Parent and Grandparent Super Visa is simple and straightforward. Applicants for the Super Visa must provide proof that the host child or grandchild meets a minimum income level, demonstrate that they have purchased compre-hensive Canadian medical insurance and undergo the immigration medical examination. Almost 99 percent of Super Visa applicants who met these requirements also went on to meet all other standard admissibility criteria.

Generalized Anxiety Disor-der, unlike other anxieties or phobias, could be de-scribed as the fear of noth-ing or the fear of anything. People who suffer from it are often crippled by the worry and agitation and often experience physical symptoms as well: racing heart, upset stomach, muscle tension. Fast-acting remedies are available, but the best results come from cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and antidepressants.

Relaxation exercises can contribute to a better sense of wellbeing. While some are more involved, some mini exercises can be pulled out in just about any situation. Deep breathing is a relaxation classic especially when combined with slowly counting down from 10. Deep breathing can also be used with progressive body relaxation if time allows. Repeat as needed!

Mental health issues are rarely dis-cussed, but the fact is that they repre-sent a burden to the health care system that is more than 1.5 times greater

than cancer and 7 times greater than infectious diseases! Yet, these issues receive much less attention than other conditions. In the report coming out of Ontario was hope that shedding light on the burden will help direct more spending where it is sadly needed.

Have the dark days of winter been getting you down? Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is real and results in clinical depression for about 2% of the population. It is thought to be related to the lower levels of daylight in the winter and the main treatment is light! Just 30 minutes of daily exposure to special lightboxes, which produce intense light of about 10,000 lux, usually do the trick.

Medical grade lightboxes are available without a prescription. Talk to our pharmacists to find out if this therapy may be appropriate for you.

Theres an app for that: privacy, security and your smartphone

While the clunky mobile devices and car phones of the 90s may have disap-peared, the advances of smartphone technology in the 21st century have created new challenges when it comes to protecting personal information.

To mark March as Fraud Prevention Month a month-long national initiative that helps Canadians recognize, prevent and report fraudulent activities the Ministry of Justice, Consumer Protection BC, and the Office of the Informa-tion and Privacy Commissioner for B.C. have teamed up to share important information about privacy and security for smartphones.

YOU ARE A TARGET FOR SMARTPHONE FRAUD IF......your smartphone is your other half.Tips to lessen the risk: Limit the personal information you store on your mobile device to what is absolutely necessary, as mobile phones and tablets are prone to loss or theft. Dont send personal data over public wireless networks as they may or may not be secure. Make yourself aware of privacy controls available through your service pro-vider, online account settings or mobile applications.

...you use your birthday as your password.Tips to lessen the risk: Weak passwords are easy to crack. Secure your smartphone with a hard-to-guess password use a combination of letters, numbers and special characters to keep would-be fraudsters out.

B.C. launches elder abuse prevention strategy

British Columbia today launched a strategy outlining short- and long-term mea-sures to prevent, recognize and respond to elder abuse in British Columbia.

Protecting seniors from all forms of abuse is a priority for myself and for our government, said Minister of State for Se-niors Ralph Sultan, With this collaborative strategy, we hope to bring about a positive change where all British Columbians are involved in protecting seniors from abuse and creating a culture where older adults are respected in every way.

Elder abuse may be physi-cal or sexual, psychologi-cal or emotional, or finan-cial. It can be at the hands of a spouse, an adult child or other family member, a caregiver, a service pro-vider, or other person in a position of trust or situa-tion of dependency. Abuse can take place in a seniors home, a care facility and in the community.

Actions outlined in the strategy entitled Together to Reduce Elder Abuse B.C.s Strategy include:

o Expanding the Seniors Abuse and Information Line. Longer hours will make it easier for people to get information, advice, emotional support and assistance with respect to elder abuse by calling 604 437-1940 or toll free 1 866-437-1940.

o Providing information kits to help community groups, front-line service providers and individuals recognize elder abuse and encourage individuals to have the confidence to speak out or to ask for as-sistance.

o Establishing a multi-sector Council to Reduce Elder Abuse, responsible

for galvanizing society to commit to taking action to prevent elder abuse.

o The council will be supported by an office, located within the Seniors Directorate in the Min-istry of Health that will also be responsible for co-ordinating implementa-tion of the strategy across government.

o Reviewing processes and staff training for in-formed consent to care, including moving into a residential care facility and use of restraints, to ensure that the rights of vulner-able adults are protected.

o Supporting training and awareness-building initia-tives for health profession-als and others to improve their ability to recognize abuse and to take appropri-ate action.

Areas for work on longer term actions are identified in the strategy and will be prioritized as the initial phases of the strategy are evaluated and renewed.

Elder abuse is, unfor-tunately, happening all across Canada, said Mar-tha Jane Lewis, executive director, BC Centre for Elder Advocacy and Sup-port. Together to Reduce Elder Abuse B.C.s Strat-egy will provide extra sup-ports for those who need help and create a culture change to help make elder abuse a thing of the past.

The total cost committed to specifically supporting the strategy is just under $1 million. This funding includes $850,000 funded through the Provincial Health Services Author-ity to support the Seniors Abuse and Information Line, $100,000 for infor-mation kits and $37,500 to the National Initiative for the Care of the Elderly to support an elder abuse prevalence study.

The B.C. government last year provided $1.4 mil-lion to the BC Association of Community Response Networks. This investment provided extra support for prevention and education activities, in collaboration with local stakeholders, to reduce elder abuse and neglect in B.C. There is currently Community Re-sponse Network activity in over 70 communities around the province and the number is growing.

This collaborative strat-egy supports grassroots efforts to help educate, prevent and ultimately end elder abuse, said Sherry Baker, executive director of the BC Association of Community Response Networks. The BC Com-munity Response Network applauds the provincial governments commit-ment to make B.C. com-munities safer for their most vulnerable.

Developing a strategy to prevent, identify and re-spond to elder abuse is a commitment in Improv-ing Care for BC Seniors: An Action Plan and also supports B.C.s 10-year mental health and sub-stance use plan, Healthy Minds, Healthy People. It was also part of B.C.s Family Agenda and was emphasized in the 2013 throne speech.

Protecting vulnerable se-niors from elder abuse is a key component of B.C.s Family Agenda for British Columbia. To learn more, visit: www.familiesfirstbc.ca

$1.6 M for LiveSmart BC Small Business program

The $1.6-million LiveSmart BC: Small Business program will be extended another year, until March 31, 2014 announced Rich Cole-man, Minster of Energy, Mines and Natu-ral Gas and Naomi Yamamoto, Minister of State for Small Business.

This successful program, launched in January 2011, will continue to help British Columbia small businesses save energy and money by making energy efficient improvements such as replac-ing incandescent bulbs with LED bulbs.

The program has served over 10,000 British Columbia businesses, helping them save 150 gigawatt-hours of elec-tricity or enough to power 13,500 homes for one year. It has also saved over 1,620 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions, the equivalent of taking 306 vehicles off of the road.

Small businesses who are interested in making energy efficient improvements

can contact a business energy advi-sor near them. There are currently 15 LiveSmart BC business energy advisors throughout the province, working out of organizations like local chambers of commerce. Energy advisors guide small business owners through the process of energy efficiency upgrades. They deliver free energy assessments to determine what upgrades are needed and help small business owners understand and find available product incentives and cash re-bates. They also help co-ordinate energy efficient product installation.

A request for proposals for organizations to host business energy advisors will be posted on the BC Bid site until March 13, 2013

Funding will be provided to organiza-tions, like chambers of commerce, in-dustry associations or local governments, to hire, manage and support these energy advisors.

King Road Industrial FireOn Monday, MARCH 4, 2013, the Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service (AFRS) responded to a report of a smoke and fire showing from a warehouse unit at 33733 King Rd.

On arrival, AFRS crews found a large industrial complex with smoke and fire coming from one of the units. Fire crews on arrival made an aggressive attack from the exterior allowing them to gain access and contain the fire to the single unit.

Nine units were dispatched to the incident and 34 firefighters attend-

ed the incident. BC Hydro, Fortis Gas, Abbotsford Police (APD) and BCAS all attended the scene.

Currently the fire is under investi-gation. Members from AFRS and APD are still on scene. Cause for the fire is unknown.

The total fire loss was estimated at more than $30,000.00, but could climb once the owners are able to enter and assess the damages. The warehouse unit contained art supplies.

Abbotsford students win wrestling medals, title at BC Championships

Abbotsford wrestlers medal and WJ Mouat wins title at BC Provincial wrestling championships

It was a successful weekend on the mats at the BC High School Wrestling Championships for athletes represent-ing five schools in the Abbotsford School District. WJ Mouat Hawks won their first Provincial Boys title - the third consecutive year an Abbotsford school has taken the boys provincial title.

Hawks wrestlers won four individual medals, while wrestlers represent-ing Rick Hansen Secondary and Yale Secondary won two medals each and an Abbotsford Traditional Secondary wrestler medaled. One of the more remarkable results was Eugene Re-imer Middle Schools grade 8 student Navdeep Toor, competing at the high school level and facing competitors from grades 10, 11 and 12, winning gold in the 41 kg category. Six other boys and one girl from Abbotsford schools achieved top six finishes in the

provincial competition, held in Duncan last weekend (March 1-3.)

Three Abbotsford schools finished in the top ten in the boys competition: in addition to Mouats top placing, Rick Hansen was 5th and Yale finished 9th. No Abbotsford girls teams finished in top 10.

Individual results:

W J Mouat Secondary Amrit Benning 60 Kg Gold Nishan Randhawa 78 Kg Gold Austin Batra 84 Kg Silver Pavan Sangha 45 Kg Bronze

Rick Hansen Secondary Joban Phulka 84kg Gold Justin Gill 70kg Gold

Bank of Canada says rates to stay low for a period of time but eventual withdrawal of stimulus still in the cards - RBC Economics

a.. Bank of Canada left the overnight rate unchanged at 1.00% as expected

b.. Tweaks forward-looking guidance again: rates to stay low for a pe-riod of time then some modest withdrawal of stimulus likely to be required

c.. Todays statement supports our view that the Bank will maintain the overnight rate at 1.0% in 2013.

Implications

The Bank of Canada left the overnight rate unchanged at 1.00% at todays meeting and al-though altered the lan-guage in the forward-looking statement main-tained the directive that policy stimulus will be

withdrawn in time. The statement now reads that the considerable mon-etary policy stimulus currently in place will likely remain appropri-ate for a period of time, after which some modest withdrawal will likely be required. This follows Januarys statement that any removal of monetary policy stimulus had be-come less imminent.

The tone in todays state-ment was similar to the January outlook and statement. In January the Bank presented the be-low-trend increase in real GDP in the third quarter as likely to be short-term with the economy ex-pected to pick up pace in 2013. These views were reiterated in this morn-ings statement with the Bank characterizing the

economys slow fourth quarter headline growth rate, which was released last week, as masking solid growth across most domestic sectors and due to the pullback in inventories. Once again the Bank states that the economys growth rate is expected to pick up through 2013.

On inflation, the Bank gave a nod to the weaker than expected core rate and attributed the weak-ness to material excess capacity and forecasted that the rate will increase to the 2% target over the projection horizon which hints that in the April forecast update, the Bank will revise its forecast to show that the inflation rates at 2% somewhat later than the third quarter of 2014 that

was assumed in Januarys forecast.

The Bank made small tweaks to the global outlook maintaining the main themes that the US economy is growing at a gradual pace, Chinas economy has improved and Europes recession is continuing.

The economys disap-pointing performance in the fourth quarter pro-vided a poor hand-off to 2013 especially given the deep declines recorded in the manufacturing and retail sectors in Decem-ber. Early January data showed auto sales re-bounding though housing starts sank and employ-ment fell. Likely some of this weakening reflected concerns about what was happening in the US re-

garding the fiscal outlook with some speculating that the tax increases and spending cuts risked a severe growth slowdown. After incorporating the tax increases and spend-ing cuts, our forecast is for the US economy to expand by 2.0% this year. Given the U.S. hous-ing recovery underway and increased demand for motor vehicles, even this half-hearted pace of growth should be enough to raise demand for Ca-nadian exports. Canadas domestic economy is benefitting from very easy financial conditions which we expect will keep both households and businesses spend-ing. Todays statement indicates that the BOC agrees with our view that the economy will pick

up pace over the course of the year emphasizing that the weakness in Q4 largely emanated from inventories. Still, given the unexpected widen-ing in the output gap and lower than expected inflation, the pressure, at least in the near term, is for the Bank to main-tain policy support, not remove it. Additionally, the persistent slowing in the pace of housing sales and credit growth are lessening the pressure on the Bank to raise interest rates. Todays statement underpins our view that the Bank will maintain the overnight rate at 1.0% this year.
