Dear
Ma~ ~t.k..
Thank you for your letter of May 20, 2014, outlining your support for increased utilization and
enforcement of the Westray, Criminal Code amendments. I am also responding on behalf of the
Honourable Shirley Bond, Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training and Minister
Responsible for Labour. I appreciate the serious nature of the issues you have raised.
The Crown Counsel who manage workplace fatality and serious injury matters that are submitted
to the Criminal Justice Branch for charge assessment are very familiar with the relevant sections
of the Criminal Code, including the amendments that were introduced pursuant to the
"Westray Bill". Moreover, the Criminal Justice Branch has senior prosecutors with expertise in
Occupational Health and Safety matters.
Mr. John Dyble, Deputy Minister to the Premier, released a report on the Babine mill explosion
on February 6, 2014. Included in this report was the recommendation that WorkSafeBC
(WSBC) develop Memorandums of Understanding (MOU) with both the Criminal Justice
Branch and Police Services to improve interactions between investigating and prosecuting
agencies.
As you may be aware, police and WSBC have recently signed an MOU that outlines an
agreement to provide cross-training on duties, responsibility and current legislation.
The Criminal Justice Branch and WSBC have worked together to develop an MOU based on the
specific issues of disclosure and preparation of a Report to Crown Counsel (RTCC), similar to
the MOU that has already been developed and is in place between the branch and police agencies
across the province. The MOU is now with senior executives of WSBC for their final review
and sign off.

2014 Canadian Lacrosse FIELD National Championships-Team BC Field Lacrosse
The BC Lacrosse Association is in preparation for the 2014 Canadian Lacrosse National Championships
for the 2014 UI9 and U16 Team BC Field Lacrosse programs that are being held August 29-31, 2014 in
Edmonton, Alberta.
Tavin Grant, a Burnaby resident, is a talented lacrosse player who is participating in both Team BC Box
and Field Lacrosse (UI6) Programs.
In September 0[2013, Tavin began a series of tryouts for the U16 Team BC (Field Lacrosse), for which
there were about 120 players attending. These tryouts continued throughout the fall and a tentative team
was announced in December 2013.
In May 2014, a final tryout for the U16 Team BC (Field Lacrosse) was held and Tavin was the only
Burnaby field lacrosse player to eam one of the 22 spots on the U16 Team BC (Field Lacrosse).
While the BC Lacrosse Association does offset a small amount of the expenses, most of the burden of
financial responsibility of the expenses (i.e., equipment, accommodations, meals, ground transportation,
etc.) fall onto the parents whose children are participating in these programs. This year, we anticipate the
direct cost per player to be approximately $1,800 per player.
It would be greatly appreciated if you would consider providing a grant to Tavin Grant, who will be
representing Burnaby and the Province of BC in August.

PSS is hosting the 6 Annual Grandparents Raising Grandchildren Summer Picnic on Saturday,
111
August 9 , 2014 'rom 10am-2pm at Queen's Park, New Westminster. According to the previous
picnics, we anticipate the attendance of at least 80 grandparents and grandchildren from across
the Lower Mainland.
Our picnic provides an opportunity tor GRGs (grandparents or other relatives that raise a family
member's child full-time) and their children to bond with one another and to connect with other
families within the community. They also have the opportunity to learn about PSS and the
resources and services we provide. Each year, our goal is to create a fun, care-free, and relaxing
afternoon tor GRGs and their children.
PSS is a non-profit. volunteer-based society and registered charity founded in 1974. For the past
40 years, our organization has been dedicated to protecting the safety and welt-being of children
and promoting healthy families through needs-based supports, education, advocacy, research
and resources. In BC, there are more than 11,000 children being raised full time by their
grandparents (or other relatives) and many of these families face complex challenges including
loss, isolation, exhaustion. and too often poverty. Our work with grandparent-led families has
grown significantly over the past decade and encompasses a wide range of community based
services.

Dear Derek:
Re: Temple Tour Grant
I Sponsorship
In our age of globalization, it is perhaps more crucial than ever that we have an
understanding and appreciation of cultures other than our own. Our cities are
becoming increasingly multi-cultural, and as a result, we have the wonderful
opportunity to explore a great diversity of cultures without leaving home.
Unfortunately, ignorance, misunderstandings and prejudice towards other cultural
and religious groups continue to fuel stereotypes, racism, bullying, intolerance, and
even hate crimes.
Multi-Cultural Ministries is a non-profit organization with the aim of providing
resource and outreach to all communities in the Lower Mainland. Although our work
encompasses Canadians of all ages and backgrounds, we make a point of building
bridges with diverse multi-cultural communities. We help understand and adjust to
the diversity that we, as Canadians, often take for granted.
Multi-Cultural Ministries is committed to embracing the opportunity to explore the
rich diversity in our communities and to foster a deep understanding of the
practices and values of the various cultural groups in our cities. Our Temple Tour
allows participants to engage with vanous religious cultures first-hand as they
explore a Skh temple, a Hindu temple, a Muslim mosque, a Buddhist temple, a
Jewish synagogue and a Christian church. The tour encourages a culture of
inclusivity across all cultural and socio-economic backgrounds. In the interest of
this inclusivity, we offer the tour at a nominal charge, and include an ethnic lunch.
The expected outcomes include, but are not limited to:
•
•
•
•
•
Creating diversity awareness in the Lower Mainland communities
Appreciating and celebrating diverse multi-cultural communities
Beating racism with education and increased cultural tolerance
Enhancing cross-cultural communication skills
Providing ongoing outreach/resources to help create healthy communities
We are writing to ask your organization to support our Temple Tour project. We are
sponsored primarily by our own fundraising efforts, but hope to receive some
support toward programs such as the tour. It is our hope that your business may
be able to assist us with support in the form of a tax-deductible grant or donation.
Our budget is small and we will provide oversight to ensure this money will be
spent thoughtfully and conservatively.
I would like to thank you in advance for your support. I hope I can count on you.
A committee representative will contact you next week to confirm your support. In
the meanwhile, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 604
897 4224.
Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.

controls on militarY- assault weapons: NO WAY!
June 26, 2014
Dear Gloria,
On June 4th, three police officers were shot and killed and two were injured in Moncton, New
Brunswick, by an angry man with a grudge, a fascination with guns and a virulent opposition to gun control.
The assailant used long guns, tragically reminding us how dangerous any gun is when in the wrong hands.
In spite of the attention on crimes committed with handguns, we know that rifles and shotguns
remain the guns most often used to kill police officers in the line of duty. In fact, since 1995, 68% of the 25
R.Q)keJllf.k:ers killed by guns were killed with rifles or-ID~.
And the tragedy also reminds us of the gun lobby's commitment to using every tool to pursue their
agenda ... While the RCMP was still searching for the gunman, the National Firearms Association (NFA) issued a
public statement. Here is an excerpt:
"Incidents like these demonstrate the validity of the mounting evidence that none of Canada's
firearms control efforts over the past 50 years have had any effect on preventing violence, or
otherwise stopping bad people from carrying out their evil deeds. It is clear that Canada's excessive
firearms control system has failed again. The excessive rules in place do not In any way increase public
safety, but merely contribute to an expensive and unnecessary regime which harms only those of
lawful intent."
Police are on the front lines and have been consistent in their support of strong gun control measures,
but it increasingly seems that their concems about public and officer safety have fallen on deaf ears.
In spite of the police's pleas to be reasonable, the federal govemment has not only abolished the long
gun registry but has destroyed the records on 5.6 million rifles and shotguns. Remember, two men were
identified and convicted as accessories to the Mayerthorpe, Alberta murder of four RCMP officers, in part
because a registered rifle was left at the scene of the crime.
The Conservatives have recently attacked the RCMP for attempting to enforce the prohibition on
mIlitary weapons. In a statement titled "Unacceptable" the Public Safety Minister wrote:
"Conservatives have always stood up for law·abidlng gun owners. That's why I was troubled to
learn of a decision made by unelected bureaucrats to prohibit a number of rifles imported from
Please see over...
14BB Queen Street West, P.o. Box 90062 Toronto, ON M6K 1LO I 416.604.0209 www.guncontrol.ca
1301 Shemroake Street East, Montreal, ac H2L 1M3 I 514.52B.2360 I [email protected]
"..
Switzerland (oo.) The actions of these bureaucrats are absolutely unacceptable and I will be
announcing concrete measures in the coming days. Our Conservative Government is on your side and we will always stand up for the rights of law-abiding firearms owners."
What is unacceptable is allowing military-style weapons in the hands of civilians. The RCMP reclassified
the CZ8S8 and the Swiss Arms Classic Green rifles and its variants as prohibited firearms because it was
determined that they can be easily converted to fully automatic military assault rifles. The police were doing
their job. Moreover, Minister Blaney speaks of the "rights" of law abiding gun owners. The Supreme Court has
made clear on several occasions that in Canada, unlike in the United States, there is no "right" to bear arms.
Shortly after, in response to pleas by the gun lobby, the government introduced a two-year amnesty
allowing individuals to keep these dangerous prohibited weapons.
Documents obtained through Access to Information have revealed that police organizations and the
RCMP have repeatedly written to the current and past ministers for public safety over their concerns about
military weapons in the hands of private citizens and of the need to update classification criteria. While specific
makes and models were banned in '995, the criteria have not been updated since, and gun manufacturers
have made minor cosmetic modifications and introduced new models in order to skirt the law.
Please help ensure the Coalition has the resources to continue to fight and remind politicians that
military assault weapons have no place in the hands of civilians. By sending a generous gIft of $200, $100 or
even $50, you can help us continue to work on all fronts, pressuring the government to update the list of
military assault weapons, developing concrete campaigns, and supporting important research.
We have an important announcement: we have just learned that the Supreme Court has granted our
to intervene in the constitutional challenge flied by the Quebec government to Illil.5JillYe the regis.tr'y
and the data in that province!
~quest
Supported by front-line police officers and police unions, Quebec has argued that registry data is useful,
that the province contributed to collecting it, and that it is in the interests of public safety to maintain it. This has
so far prevented the federal government from shutting down access to the gun registry in the province. It will be
a tough fight but it is a reminder that Quebec was the only provincial government that dared stand up to the gun
lobby and defend the registry. The NFA has also been granted the right to intervene.
Your generosIty wIll further allow us to continue investing in legal challenges to oppose turning back
the clock on our gun control laws. Please take a moment to send as generous a donation as you can.
The Coalition for Gun Control remains the most listened to and effective citizen-funded voice on the
issue of stopping gun violence and maintaining sensible gun control measures to protect Canadians. Our
strength comes from our members and supporters. Thank you so much for your wonderful support!
Yours truly,
Wendy Cukier, President

Dear Mayor Corrigan and Executive Committee of Council,
My daughter, Caroline Kiddie has been accepted for a second year in a row into the
Canadian National Dance Team and is representing Canada at the International Dance
Organization World Championships in Ballet and Modern in Poland, December, 7-17,
2014, along with about 40 of Canada's best dancers. The IDO World Championships is
the Olympics of dance, where the best dancers in the world from over 90 nations vie for
a spot on the world podium and is the only official Dance Championships under the
umbrella of the World Dance Council.
Because dance is not recognized as a sport in Canada and therefore does not receive
government funding or national sponsorship, Team Canada dancers must come up with
these funds themselves; see the attached sponsorship letter from Bonnie Dyer, the
National Director of Team Canada. This amazing trip will cost $3,600 for Caroline's
airfare, hotel/w breakfast and lunch, ground transportation, choreographer and starter
fees and entry fees. This does not include costumes, choreography fees, dinner,
spending money or other hidden costs.
Caroline is selling Team Canada buttons for a donation of $1 each, is planning a Dancea-thon and a bottle drive and is seeking sponsorships from the business community to
raise her funds. The Team Canada Gala and Silent Auction on 29 November at Massey
Theatre in New Westminster will help raise funds for the whole team, one week before
the team leaves for Poland.
Caroline is a Bumaby resident. She is a French Immersion, Grade 10 Moscrop
Secondary School Honours Roll student. She also learns flute at Shadbolt Centre for
the Arts. Because of this trip, Caroline has the opportunity to train with the best 40
dancers in the country and famous choreographers, such as Danielle Gardner, of So
You Think You Can Dance and Caitlin Griffin in Junior Large Ballet and Junior Small
Ballet and Small Modem groups. This year, she has the honor and privilege of
representing Canada in Junior Ballet Solo. As a member of Team Canada, Caroline will
compete against 24 other countries for gold in the hopes of standing on the podium with
the Canadian flag raised and her voice raised to the Canadian National anthem.
Although we have been working very hard to fundraise money to get Caroline to the
Worlds, these funds will not cover this expensive and prestigious trip. We would be very
grateful if the Executive Committee of Council would seriously consider Caroline for a
community grant so that this trip is financially viable.
We look forward to hearing from you .
Sincerely,
Susan Kiddie.

Dear Mr. Corrigan,
I'm Bill Xu, currently a grade II student at Moscrop Secondary. A week ago, I just came back from a Me to We
volunteer trip to build a school in the rural village of Asemkow, Ghana. Over the course of my 3 week trip, I've
realized just how privilaged we North American children are to have clean water and a good education. Within
3 weeks, the 23 of us in our group has really grown close to the people in the community, especially the kids,
we were really amazed at how happy the kids are even though they live in such terrible conditions, we realized
that this simple kind of happiness is the most real and pure happiness! We were deeply struck by the fact that
the kids have to walk for nearly 2 hours everyday barefoot, alone through the forests just go get to the next town
to go to school. We've decided that we want to help continue Free the Children's work in the community, by
raising $10000 for materials to build another school in Asemkow. After returning from the trip, I have decided
to establish a Me to We club in the Burnaby school district, to raise awareness and money throughout the year
along with up to 30 passionate youths and 5 teachers to go on another trip next summer to Asemkow, to build
the school that my Ghana group has raised money for! I was wondering if you can support our cause by
donating

It would be even better if you would like to join us on our trip next year! It is truely a life changing experience
that I hope every child in Burnaby can experience, so that they too will realize the importance of education. I
hope that the 30 people that will join my club, after they experience the trip, will work to impact more in te
community, so that in the near future, more and more youth in Burnaby will realize that they too, can change
the world! Thanks a bunch!!

from Burnaby play on the team. They play at the U161evel and this season Mountain United FC are the Provincial
Champions. They therefore earned a right to represent British Columbia at the upcoming Canadian Soccer
Association Club Nationals in Mount Pearl, Newfoundland from October 6 -13, 2014. As you can imagine the girls
are very excited around their accomplishment, but travel to Newfoundland has significant costs. I understand that
Burnaby provides some funds to individual girls who live in Burnaby. I am asking on behalf of the Burnaby girls to
consider providing the girls with a travel grant. Here are the girls and their addresses:
Lauren Rea, 6175 6th St, Burnaby BC VSE 352
Reesa Wright, 6171 Brantford St, Burnaby BC VSE 2R8
lenna Gurnlak, 4637 Highlawn Dr. Burnaby BC VSC 359
Stefanla Rizzo, 5440 Heathdale Court, Burnaby BC VSB 2H7
Anlsha Sangha, 4036 Spruce St, Burnaby BCVSG 1Y4
Thank you for your time and consideration for this matter.
Sincerely
Giuseppe Rea

Re : 2014 Community Grant Request
Dear Pietro Calendino and Members of the Executive Committee,
I am writing on behalf of Burnaby Meals on Wheels to request a $9,000
community grant. Your continued support is very important to us and the many
people we serve.
In 2013, Burnaby Meals on Wheels celebrated 45 years of service to the
community of Burnaby. The support of the City of Burnaby has been essential to
both our success and longevity. We are very grateful for your community and
financial support.
Burnaby Meals on Wheels promotes health and independence by providing
nutritious, local and affordable food to people who-for physical, mental·health,
social or economic reasons-are unable to meet their dietary needs. Our clients
include seniors, cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, the chronically ill,
and disabled.
We provide much more than meals - our volunteers provide social contact with
our often isolated clients. Many clients report that the volunteer visit is the
highlight of their day. Our volunteers also check on the security and health of
clients and act quickly in the event of an emergency.
No other meal delivery service provides people with affordable meals delivered
by caring volunteers. The fact our volunteers delivered 14,629 meals in 2013 (a
24% increase over last year) is' a testament to the community need for our
service.
