The Prime Minister of Canada and the Premier of Quebec announce a new

infrastructure agreement

The Prime Minister of Cana-da, Justin Trudeau, and the Premier of Quebec, Philippe Couillard, today confirmed the ratification of the Canada-Quebec Agreement on the Public Transit Infrastructure Fund and the Clean Water and Wastewater Fund.

This agreementwith funding provided by the Government of Canada, the Province of Quebec, and municipalitieswill support public transit projects, as well as projects that will provide improved water and wastewater systems, in order that Quebec families may benefit from modernized infra-structure.

Both governments are committed to investing in local infrastructure to make sure that families have access to reliable and high-quality services. Investing in infrastructure is vital for creating middle class jobs today, and

sustained economic growth for years to come.

The agreement will allow Quebec municipalities and public transit or-ganizations to access more than $1.2 billion in federal funding over the next three years to implement projects in all

regions of Quebec. Combined with funding from the province and municipalities, more than $2.5 billion will be invested in infrastructure projects.

In practical terms, nearly $924 million in federal funding will go to public transit projects, while $364 million will be earmarked for projects related to clean water and wastewater treatment.

These investments throughout our regions will ensure that all Quebecers have access to modern infrastructure that will enable them to, among other things, save time on their commute and optimize their work-life balance, while encouraging job creation, particularly among the middle class.

The surprising person helping your child develop positive relationships

(NC) Every parent wants the best for their child. This means giving them every tool to succeed in life, school and relationships. And while we usually think of teachers as helping kids in the school and book-learning departments, did you know that educators also play a key role in sup-porting childrens internal capacity to self-regulate their behaviour and engage in positive interactions with other children and adults?

Developing caring and nurturing relationships that support childrens learning is one of the core competen-cies that early childhood educators bring to early learning programs in Ontario. The College of Early Child-hood Educators, which regulates Ontarios early childhood educators, recently released a guideline to help its members support positive interac-tions with children.

The colleges new practice guide-line highlights ways registered early childhood educators (RECEs) can better support positive interactions with children, through techniques like forming positive perspectives and nurturing responsive relation-ships, says Melanie Dixon, direc-tor of professional practice at the college. Being responsive means working with children to reduce their stress and anticipate moments in their day that might lead to chal-lenging behaviour.

The college requires RECEs to remain knowledgeable about cur-rent evidence-based research and to

transfer that knowledge into practice, and the new guideline directs them to research on brain development and self-regulation. It also teaches new ways of dealing with any challenging behaviours requiring more attention.

We used to use the term behav-iour management to describe how educators would address challenging behaviours, but now we know that just trying to manage and direct a childs behaviour isnt effective and isnt enough, Dixon reveals.

Another important part of creating positive interactions is the role REC-Es play in helping children develop the skills to self-regulate, and the guideline talks about helping them become aware of their emotions, and how to offer them strategies for coping, Dixon adds.

We can look forward to further improvements in the care our chil-dren receive from early childhood educators this September, when the College implements a mandatory on-going learning program for RECEs to upgrade their skills.

Additional information on the role early childhood educators play in your childs growth and develop-ment is available at college-ece.ca.

Vancouver tech company teams up with Google to counteract challenges

Online virtual tour part of strat-egy highlighting opportunities for international tech talentVancouver, BC Struggling to meet its hiring demand amidst a period of rapid growth, local tech company Canada Drives is introducing an online virtual office tour powered by Google street view technology to support an aggres-sive recruitment campaign.

As documented in a press release last week, the company, along with Van-couvers entire tech community, is having great difficulty attracting and retaining international and local tech professionals due to the high cost of living in the city.

Already occupying an entire floor in downtown Vancouvers famed Two Bentall Centre, and scheduled to take over another floor within the next week, Canada Drives is using this on-line walkthrough as a way to stand out from other tech companies, according to company founder Cody Green.

We are facing significant recruit-ment challenges due to all the local, national and even international news coverage about Vancouvers housing market, explains Green. Because we are conducting a lot of international Skype interviews, Google street view gives us a powerful visual tool to use in our conversations with candidates who are often located on the other side of the globe.

Metro Vancouver is quickly emerging as Canadas premier tech hub, with hundreds of thriving start-ups and ma-jor players like Amazon and Microsoft setting up shop in the past year.

However, companies looking to meet their HR needs are being faced with an exodus of young tech workers from the city, and the inability to compete with other international tech centres with a lower cost of living, particularly when it comes to housing.

Tech entities currently occupy nearly 40 per cent of downtown Vancouvers commercial real estate, and across BC, the tech sector employs 86,800 people, which is more than forestry, mining and oil and gas combined. Vancouver is driving BCs tech boom, with about 250 new tech companies emerging every year. Yet in comparison to cit-ies like Seattle, which is considered to have one of the most mature tech sec-tors in the world, tech talent is harder to come by. This gap is being widened by Vancouvers out of control housing prices, which have risen by 30 per cent over the past 12 months.

The partnership with Google offers context and information that just isnt possible through verbal descriptions or still images. With competition for tech talent taking place not only with international locales, but also local companies looking to fill similar voids, every aspect that differentiates Canada Drives is meaningful, adds Green.

We have a young dynamic work force, a beautiful open concept office with a fully catered kitchen, and are located in a stunning part of the city near the water, says Green. It is im-portant that we highlight every advan-tage we have as a company and a city in such a competitive marketplace.

4 surprising reasons for eating locally-grown produce (NC) Canadians are wisely increas-ingly on the lookout for food that is grown or produced close to home or at the very least, in the same country. And as soon as the warm weather hits, anticipation grows for the first fresh-picked berries, asparagus and corn. But while fruit stands and farm-ers markets often come to mind this time of year, did you know the widest variety of local produce can be found at the grocery store?

At Loblaw, we have a Canadian-first buying policy, which means that dur-ing our peak growing season, close to half the produce you find in our stores is grown right here at home, says Frank Pagliaro, vice president, pro-duce at Loblaw Companies Limited. When you think about it and take out the exotic fruit or citrus things we cant grow here we buy pretty much everything we can locally during this time.

In case you needed yet an-other reason to become a local-food shopper, check out top benefits of eating produce that is grown near you.

1. It reduces the carbon footprint. Greenhouse gas emissions are cut down sig-nificantly since food does not have to be flown in. Also, transport trucks travel a shorter distance and spend less time on the

road when delivering products to producers and grocery retailers.

2. You support local farmers. Buying local produce helps ensure the livelihood of local farmers who rely on their business to support their families. This also helps keep viable farmland and green land from

being used for less environmentally-friendly purposes.

3. You get off-the-farm fresh quality. You might be getting produce that was only picked a day before it landed in your shopping cart, versus having been picked a week or two earlier. This allows for produce to be ripened for a longer period of time. Visit your local grocery store and look out for products that were grown near you to get that fresh and juicy flavour.

4. You enjoy great nutrients. Fresh pro-duce is full of es-sential nutrients that provide your body with the vitamins and minerals needed for a healthy diet. Including more pro-duce in your meal routine will provide you with the energy you need to make the most of the long summer days ahead.

Conservatives Condemn Bloody Attacks in Saudi Arabia and Iraq at Close of

Ramadan Conservative Party Foreign Affairs critic, Tony Clement, strongly con-demns the recent terror attacks in Saudi Arabia and Iraq at the close of the holy month of Ramadan and in the lead-up to the celebration of Eid.

On Monday, suicide bombers launched attacks in Medina, Qatif and Jeddah killing multiple people. The violence erupted as Saudis prepared to break their Ramadan fast at the end of the holy month. The attack in Medina took place outside the Prophet`s tomb, one of the most holy sites in the region. One day earlier, 175 people were killed by bombs set off in the Karada neighbourhood of Baghdad by Islamic State terrorists.

Clement issued the following state-ment on behalf of the Conservative caucus:

These attacks mark the most deadly in the region in some time, and we join with the government in condemning

them and those responsible for this senseless act of terrorism and loss of innocent lives. It is a reminder that we must remain vigilant against those who want to destroy our way of life and have no respect for freedom of religion. We continue to urge the gov-ernment to stand with our allies, and step up our efforts to combat ISIS.

Rower Roman off to Rio: First Cascades alum to be selected for Olympics

When Lisa Roman stepped into the boat at her very first University of the Fraser Valley rowing team practice in the fall of 2007, she had no inkling that the sport would carry her all the way to the Olympic Games.

And yet, thats the heady posi-tion she finds herself in as of Tuesday, when she was one of 26 athletes nominated by Rowing Canada to represent Canada at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The rowing events will take place at Lagoa Stadium, Aug. 6-14, and Roman will be part of the Canadian entry in the womens eight.

Its been an incredible ascent in the sport for the 26-year-old Langley product. Shed never tried rowing prior to joining Cascades head coach Liz Chisholms learn-to-row program as an 18-year-old

UFV freshman. Now, shes poised to become the first-ever Cascades alum across all sports to compete in the Olympics.

Its awesome, but it hasnt really set in yet, I dont think, Roman said with a chuckle. Weve been training so hard lately that we havent been able to take it all in yet. But its pretty amazing. I cant wait to get there and represent Canada.

Romans Olympic selection is a thrill for Chisholm, who be-lieves that her former pupils competitive spirit is what sets her apart as an athlete.

Its just so exciting to see all her hard work and time pay off, Chisholm marveled. Its been her dream to compete at the Olympics.

For me as a coach, to have somebody like Lisa end up at this pinnacle of sport, its

exciting to see a young person realize their dream. You work with so many athletes, and you dont know which ones will embrace it and be willing to work that hard.

She isnt the biggest woman on the Canadian team shes worked for all the strength and boat movement she has.

Roman may have lacked row-ing experience when she ar-rived at UFV, but athleticism wasnt an issue she had 14 years of competitive figure skating under her belt, along with eight years of dance. The biggest challenge was build-ing her upper-body strength she already had plenty of power in her legs thanks to figure skating.

Within a year, Roman was the Cascades top female rower, and during her sopho-more season, she tried out for and made Team B.C. for the Canada Summer Games

in Charlottetown, PEI. After winning three medals (gold in womens pairs and fours, silver in the eight), she began seeking out scholarship op-portunities south of the border and ended up at Washington State University.

Roman fashioned a highly decorated career with the Cougars, highlighted by sec-ond team All-America hon-ours as a senior; last month, she was named to the Pac-12 conferences all-century team.

In 2011, Roman landed a spot on Canadas womens eight for the U23 World Rowing Championships, and helped the team set a world age-class record. After graduating from Washington State in 2012, she was invited to join Rowing Canadas national training centre in London, Ont.

Each year, the national team is re-selected from the pool of athletes at the training

centre, and Roman has been chosen to represent Canada in international competition for four straight years. Her accolades include 11 interna-tional medals in the womens eight, including three from the World Rowing Champion-ships (bronze in 2013, silver in 2014, bronze in 2015).

Everyones striving for gold, so thats our biggest goal right now, she acknowledged. Getting a medal for Canada would be amazing. Weve just got to get on the right track and tidy up all the work weve put in these last four years, and keep moving in that direction.

Team Canadas rowers have already visited Rio multiple times and are familiar with the rowing venue, but the Olympic veterans on the team have told Roman that nothing compares to the atmosphere that awaits.

Plan to come up to Manning Provincial Park this July 16th, 2016 to celebrate the 75th An-niversary of the Park.

The date was chosen to mark 75 years of EC Manning Provincial Park, and is also Canadas Parks Day there is never a better time to get outside and enjoy the beautiful parks around us!

The majority of the festivities begin at Lightning Lake Day Use Area in Man-ning Park, from 11am-3pm, where a number of community booths will be up with displays, interactive games and crafts to interest kids and adults alike.

Some of the fun includes Hope Mountain Centre and the Freshwater Fisheries Society with fishing gear for kids to try. BC Hydro is attending with their Electric Vehicle and energy conservation fun tips.

A number of hiking, naturalist, and outdoors groups will be on hand with displays and info about their group.

Manning Park is thrilled to have Murray Phillips, renowned Artist for

Conservation artist, attend for an op-portunity to Meet the Artist.

Mr. Phillips has created a painting showcasing the iconic Three Broth-ers mountain range viewed from the Alpine Meadows, and is donating it to Manning Park to commemorate the 75th anniversary of EC Manning Park.

Manning Park Resort has teamed up with BC Parks to support a poster re-production of his painting. Mr. Phillips will be there to sign the posters.

Under the main tent, Princetons own Hi-way #40 will grace our ears with some family-friendly rock and roll music.

We will also have kids crafts, face painting and even some visits from BC Parks Jerry the Moose. The BBQ will be on from 11:30-2pm.

A ceremony will begin at 1pm, with special guests, to say a few words recognizing the history, the dedicated people and the continued conservation of our beautiful EC Manning Provin-cial Park.

Please join us to celebrate this special day!

Destination China export market opens up for fresh B.C. blueberries

British Columbias fresh blueberries are known as small wonders and now they are being welcomed in a big market.

This is the first full season that B.C. blueberries are being shipped to China. Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick visited Blueridge Produce in Langley today as workers are busy packaging fresh blueberries for the journey to China.

Last summer, a small amount of fresh blueberries were sent to the country to ensure that the packing-and-shipping process met all the requirements in the agreement between the governments of Canada and China. The test run was a success. Now British Columbia will increase the amount of fresh blueberry shipments to China this season and B.C. blueberry growers could be look-ing at the potential of up to $65 million

in exports a year, once the agreement is fully implemented.

British Columbia is one of the largest highbush blueberry-growing regions in the world, producing about 96% of the Canadian production of cultivated blueberries. In 2015, B.C. farmers harvested about 70,000 tonnes of blue-berries, an increase of 7%. Exports of B.C.s blueberries accounted for $218 million, up more than 29% from 2014.

The British Columbia government is focused on increasing agrifoods exports to other countries and build-ing the overall B.C. agrifoods sector to a $15-billion-a-year industry by 2020. Building markets is one of the key priorities in the BC Agrifood and Seafood Strategic Growth Plan. The effort is being supported by a network of 13 international trade offices, B.C. trade missions and the development of direct-cargo flights out of YVR.

Local foods support local farmers, local jobs and local communities

Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick visited the White Rock Farmers market with local resident, Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg, to get a taste of the fresh local flavours that were available for the day and meet with some of B.C.s farmers and producers.

Farmers markets are bringing residents and visitors out to community events to showcase the wonderful and delicious array of locally grown and produced

goods made right in British Columbia. Summer fruits and vegetables have arrived at most markets and community events are connecting producers and consumers together for the opportunity to learn more about where food comes from and how its produced.

Besides being fresh and nutritious, buying locally benefits the economy, creates jobs for British Columbians and helps ensure hard earned dollars stay in the community, supporting those farmers who are dedicated to the agrifoods industry. The B.C. agrifoods sector continues to thrive, providing jobs for over 55,000 hardworking individuals in the province.

The provincial government is helping local companies expand their presence through funding, giving them the opportunity to launch or expand their own buy local mar-keting campaigns. Since 2012, $8 million has been distributed to local businesses throughout B.C., leading to continual suc-cess for farmers, ranchers and food proces-sors.

Statement on Trudeau preparing to lift Romanian and Bulgarian visas

Disturbing trend toward abandoning evidence

OTTAWA Today, Hon. M i c h e l l e R e m p e l , Critic for Im-m i g r a t i o n , R e f u g e e s , and Citizen-ship issued a statement on the repor ts

that the Liberal government plans to lift the visa on Romanian and Bulgar-ian nationals:

Last week the Liberals chose to lift the visa restriction on Mexico and turn a blind eye to concerns raised by department officials regarding national security and the integrity of our immi-gration system. Today, the Liberals are once again choosing to treat visa-free entry into our country as a bargaining chip to be used in a deal, said Rempel.

The Prime Minister seems deter-mined to depart from the objective,

evidenced-based system that evaluates security and immigration indicators to determine whether a visa should be in place or not.

Now that the Liberals said they would lift the visa requirement for Mexico, based exclusively on a political deci-sion, other countries that dont meet the criteria are lining up for the same special treatment.

The United States has visas on sev-eral EU member states, and they are unlikely to lift them. In fact, their cri-teria for visa exemption are set in law.

Trade is an integral part of our economy, but the stability of our im-migration system also needs to be pro-tected. The government can do both by working through the long established, formal review process.

Conservatives call on the Liberal Government to uphold the integrity of our immigration system, and make its visa decisions based on evidence and sound planning.

Reckless Liberal spending means higher taxes: Carrie and Raitt

TORONTO, ONTARIO Official Opposition Health Critic Colin Carrie and Official Opposition Finance Critic Lisa Raitt are warning middle-class families that the Liberal governments out-of-control spending will result in more tax hikes or cuts to health care.

Last Tuesday the Parliamentary Bud-get Officer (PBO) issued a report that said public finances in Canada have become unsustainable due to perma-nent increases in federal spending and ongoing provincial shortfalls. The PBO pointed to health care as the greatest challenge facing future government budgets.

The Liberal governments reckless spending shows a complete disregard for the fact that the costs of health care keep rising, said Carrie. The PBOs findings confirm that the Liberals out-of-control spending is causing public debt to grow uncontrollably, and he is sounding the alarm about how govern-ments will pay for essential health care services in the future.

The PBO report comes as the Liberal government plans to run deficits worth more than $100 billion over the next four years.

Provinces and territories will eventu-ally need more money for health care, but at this rate the Liberal government wont have anything left to give them. That means theyll either have to raise taxes on Canadians or cut their health care services, added Raitt.

The PBO estimates that in order to meet health care costs and keep public debt under control, governments will need to collectively hike taxes or cut spending by $11 billion per year.

One way or another, Canadians are going to foot the bill for Liberal mismanagement, concluded Carrie. In just six months, the Liberals have already raised taxes on middle-class families, students and small business owners.

When I heard of the passing of Pritam Uncle Ji this past Sunday, I was struck with sadness, but also immense pride in the legacy that he has left behind him for all Canadians to follow. We are so honoured and privileged at the Centre for Indo Canadian Studies to have known this amazing man, and to have been able to preserve his life and history.

Each time I visited Pritam in his home to interview him for his auto-biography, I was always struck by his immense presence, his kindness and his intellect. He lived an amaz-ing and full life. He lived a life full of honour, service to his country, service to his family, and service to his fellow people. He had no regrets. He was awarded with 14 medals for his service in the Army (both British and Indian), he had met the Queen of England, he was awarded the British Columbia Achievement Awarded and more recently the Queens Dia-mond Jubilee Medal in 2012. These

are just a small example of the many other achievements and accomplish-ments in Pritams life. Even when he was much older, while living in Canada, Pritam continued to fight a number of struggles for Indian War Veterans; including assisting Indian Military Pensioners to receive den-tal benefits. This is because Pritam Singh was not one to sit down idly when he saw that someone needed his help-he was a true fighter and a true soldier at heart.

Throughout his early life, his mili-tary life, and his life in Canada, Pri-tam continued to imbibe a spirit of positivity, kindness and intellect. He had no regrets and only hoped that his life could serve as an example to others as well to serve for their com-munities, their faith, and their rights.

In 1993, while Pritam was embroiled in his struggle to wear his pagh in the Newton Legion branch, he had the majority of support from the media, community members and politicians.

But as I read and reviewed Uncles materials, I realized that there was an undertone of ignorance. Some were clearly racist and violent in nature, and others less so. I came to realize that many did not understand the meaning of the pagh and that its entire being, the material, the process of tying and placing it on ones head is so intrinsic to Sikhi-that the two could not be separated. It seemed that these same people failed to under-stand that Sikhs were just a much a part of Canadian identity as any other group, religion, ethnicity, etc. In fact, that is what Canadian Identity entailed-there was no monotype of what this identity included. Certainly for so long the pagh had remained a mystery-many didnt understand the religious significance for the turban, why it was worn and how it was worn.

What Pritam was able to do by chal-lenging the Newton Branch of the Veterans Legion was challenge the concept of what a Canadian iden-

tity meant. In fact, the turban is just as much a part of this identity as is anything else.

Let us all remember Pritam Uncle Ji and his fight against social injustice. Let us all have the same strength, valour, courage and intellect to chal-lenge social injustices that we may see around us.

Abbotsford, BC - Travel from the depths of space back to historic Ab-botsford and explore some famous artists in between with our summer art Camps at The Reach Gallery Museum Abbotsford, 32388 Veterans Way.

In these camps kids will enjoy ex-ploring various mediums inspired by contemporary art, heritage, and First Nations culture. Children will hands-on engage and hone their skills

in painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, and collage while having a blast along the way! The will have fun creating their very own paper mache creatures such as: out-of-this world aliens, ferocious monsters, and quirky gnomes!
