Public invited to Indigenous Day events – 100 Mile House Free Press

Public invited to Indigenous Day events - 100 Mile House Free Press

Events are being planned at Canim Lake and Clinton for National Indigenous Peoples Day on June 21.

The Canim Lake Band (Tsq’escenemc) will be hosting a National Indigenous Day at Eliza Archie Memorial School, starting at dawn with separate men’s and women’s sweathouses, followed by opening remarks and prayers at 10 a.m. and a series of events that include games, Elder storytelling, a mini-fishing derby, scavenger hunt and movie night. The event will wrap up at 9 p.m.

Joseph Archie, the band’s cultural enrichment coordinator, said they would like to make it an annual event.

“We should hold it every year and make it open to the public and non-Indigenous people to help them understand the culture, or something new they might not know about the Shuswap people,” he said.

In Clinton, the High Bar First Nation will also hold its first-ever Aboriginal Day.

Set for 10 a.m.-2 p.m. at Reg Conn Park, the event will include former Canim Lake Band chief Mike Archie and his family, who will do a couple of dance demonstrations as well we lead the celebration in prayer and song, said Trina Hawkins, service coordinator for the HBFN.

“They’re going to lead us in the cultural part,” she said.

The day will also feature music by the Melawmen Collective – described as contemporary Indigenous alternative fusion – as well as by local Clinton resident Arlen Park. Information displays on the Big Bar slide, the High Bar’s archaeological department and the band’s heritage will on site.

A bannock competition will also be held at the event, along with a by-donation concession, with proceeds to be split between different causes such as National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls and Two-Spirit People and Orange Shirt Day. Interested vendors should contact Hawkins at 250-459-2117.

Hawkins said this is the first time they have held an aboriginal day because they haven’t previously had the staff to organize it.

Although they have 220 members, many of them are spread out as far as Vancouver and the U.S.

National Indigenous Peoples Day is a day for all Canadians to recognize and celebrate the unique heritage, diverse cultures and outstanding contributions of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. The Canadian Constitution recognizes these three groups as Aboriginal peoples, also known as Indigenous peoples.

Although these groups share many similarities, they each have their own distinct heritage, language, cultural practices and spiritual beliefs.

In cooperation with Indigenous organizations, the Government of Canada chose June 21, the summer solstice, for National Aboriginal Day, now known as National Indigenous Peoples Day. For generations, many Indigenous peoples and communities have celebrated their culture and heritage on or near this day due to the significance of the summer solstice as the longest day of the year.

Amid worker shortages, endless opportunities at Black Press Media’s career fair in Langley – Surrey Now-Leader

Amid worker shortages, endless opportunities at Black Press Media’s career fair in Langley - Surrey Now-Leader

With industries across B.C. struggling to find enough employees, workers have much more choice than usual in what they decide to pursue.

The province’s latest labour market outlook estimates there will be more than one million job openings in the next decade and 83,000 will go unfilled.

The biggest issue causing the labour shortage, according to experts, is Canada’s aging population. Now, more than ever, a greater number of people are leaving the workforce than are entering it, the Business Development Bank of Canada says.

The COVID-19 pandemic only exacerbated the problem.

The number of people immigrating to Canada or entering for seasonal work was greatly reduced, while people already working here faced mass layoffs, uniquely difficult working conditions and increased costs of living.

In the next 10 years, B.C. predicts other sectors with the greatest need will be health care, social assistance and education. Science and technology jobs will also be in high demand, as will openings in skilled trades such as cooks, mechanics and hairstylists, according to B.C.’s labour market outlook.

As those in the Lower Mainland look to re-enter the workforce, or make changes in their career path, the Langley Career and Post-Secondary Event will be a hiring fair they don’t want to miss.

Taking place at the Langley Events Centre in the field house from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on June 23, there will be over 75 exhibitors collectively offering over 500 opportunities for employment and 1,000’s of post secondary options to choose from.

Employers include those in the industries of: retail, transport, warehouse, office admin, trades, financial, social services, government, hospitality, and more.

For more details, visit events.blackpress.ca/langley, email events@blackpress.ca or call 1-855-678-7833.

DOERKSON: Welcoming spring and the return of community events – 100 Mile House Free Press

DOERKSON: Welcoming spring and the return of community events - 100 Mile House Free Press

The arrival of spring couldn’t come soon enough this year.

After a long winter, and the stress of the last few years, it has been so encouraging to see our community come alive again. Not just in the literal sense of flowers blooming and snow melting, but also with the return of community events – the things that really make our region such a wonderful place to live.

Over the last number of weeks, we have seen festivities like the Shriners’ fundraiser in 100 Mile House return as a packed success. I also had the opportunity to attend the Forest Grove Legion Ladies Auxiliary fundraiser for Ukraine. They sold a delicious spaghetti dinner and put the proceeds towards the Ukrainian Red Cross.

We also saw the creation of the Easter “Whats Hoppening“ event. Hundreds of people attended the various festivities hosted around 100 Mile House, including Easter chocolate for the kids. It brought a smile to my face to see so many of my constituents in one place, enjoying our community and engaging with one another. I could see just how much people were excited to get out and about and feel some sort of return to normalcy.

It has made me look toward the future in anticipation, and I can’t wait for the many other wonderful events that we have on the horizon. I am grateful to all those who are eagerly planning them. One of those events is the BC Trappers convention, coming up May 5-8 with a full schedule of public demonstrations.

The South Cariboo Chamber of Commerce is also accepting applications for its 2021 Citizen of the Year. People are encouraged to nominate community members they think are deserving of the title by May 16, and it will be awarded at the Chamber’s Community Appreciation Event on June 4. In addition to awarding Citizen of the Year, the event will include a parade for our fire departments, paramedics, police, Search and Rescue, and Emergency Social Services. I am sure it will be a wonderful time to honour those who have made invaluable contributions to our region.

From farmers’ markets to fundraisers, car shows, the Harvest Fair, auctions, and other community events, we have so much to look forward to this spring. We have learned we cannot take these moments for granted, and after a challenging few years, I am so excited to meet you in person around our community.

See you soon, Cariboo-Chilcotin!

Trudeau’s Facebook page must be bilingual for live events: language commissioner

Trudeau’s Facebook page must be bilingual for live events: language commissioner

Official Languages Commissioner Raymond Theberge responds to a question during a news conference in Ottawa in 2019.Adrian Wyld/The Canadian Press

The official languages commissioner says events broadcast live on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Facebook page must be accessible in both English and French.

More than a dozen people complained to the commissioner’s office about the lack of simultaneous translation on Trudeau’s Facebook page during a July 6 press conference announcing the nomination of Mary Simon as governor general.

In a preliminary report tabled last month and obtained by The Canadian Press, commissioner Raymond Theberge found that the Privy Council Office, which provided organizational support for the press conference, failed to meet its obligations under the Official Languages Act.

The investigation acknowledged that no simultaneous interpretation or subtitle service is currently available on Facebook Live, but Theberge suggested a link could be included in the caption of the video directing viewers to another website where the broadcast could be watched in both official languages.

The Privy Council Office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Canadian Press.

The nomination of Simon, an Inuk leader and former Canadian diplomat who does not speak French, led to hundreds of complaints to the language commissioner’s office.
