Well Christie Clark is using some words we should all be pouncing on: putting family first and reducing poverty. Away with that terrible $6.00 starting wage rate and up with minimum wage! Will BC really act to reduce child poverty and end our shame in the face of the nation? It will be up to you to hold her to that. It is going to be an interesting time to watch the near future unfold. Your voice can make a difference.
Very busy here this week at Parent Support Services Society with an excellent consultation meeting Monday at MCFD Victoria with managers, policy staff and grandparents. More about that next week. Tomorrow we have 2 days of staff inservice and that means our Coordinators from across the province can all gather and learn together.
Friday is the big Forum on Child Protection Advocacy best Practice. It should be quite a day and we are very hopeful that it will be productive and take us a giant step towards a Best Practice Model advocates will find helpful and useful to apply.
You won't likely hear from me again until next week.
