Eight years. 14,000 lives. Do B.C. politicians take this seriously?This is VANCOLOUR host Mo Amir chats with The Tyee's Jen St. Denis and Crackdown Podcast's Garth Mullins to discuss whether British Columbia's longest-lasting and still ongoing public health emergency - the toxic drug supply crisis - is being addressed seriously by the provincial government.Recorded: March 18, 2024

Jen St. Denis is a Vancouver-based journalist for The Tyee, covering housing and city issues with a focus on Vancouver's Downtown Eastside.

Vancouver's SROs are home to some of the most vulnerable people in the province, and some of the most challenging housing to run. So when Atira Women's Resource Society stepped up to run several buildings, concerns that the CEO was in a relationship with the CEO of BC Housing, the provincial corporation in charge of that housing, were dismissed. In the years that followed, there was growing concern about the conditions of the SROs, and why Atira's portfolio kept growing.Recently an explosive report released by third party investigators Ernst and Young revealed the truth. This week's episode by Cherise Seucharan looks at how a problem ignored for over a decade, came to light.Featured in this episode: Jen St Denis, reporter at The Tyee; Frances Bula, reporter, The Globe and Mail.Host: Jesse BrownCredits: Cherise Seucharan (Reporter), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Annette Ejiofor (Managing Editor)Further reading:Public housing in Vancouver called ‘crack shacks and brothels', CBC, 2012The Housing Is Owned by the Province.

Dříve amatérismus, dnes profesionální komunální politika, tak je podle poslance a kandidáta na pražského primátora Patrika Nachera interpretována kolabující doprava v metropoli. Kde si současné vedení Prahy usmyslí, vznikají bez ohledu na skutečné potřeby a bezpečnost účastníků silničního provozu nové cyklopruhy. Ideologický aktivismus je vizitkou vládnoucí koalice, která proti sobě staví jednotlivé skupiny obyvatel. „Z řidičů dělá nepřátele města, omezuje parkovací místa, počty pruhů, uměle vytváří špunty a vznikají zácpy nikoliv pouze tím, že je větší množství aut, ale že ze dvou pruhů je jeden, nebo že je rozšířená tramvajová zastávka. Výsledkem toho je kolona a odpovědí na to: ‚Když nechcete stát v koloně, jeďte MHD, nebo na kole‘,“ odmítá takovou revoluci.

Curious about the artist behind the new murals in the ferry terminal? Meet Cynthia Lait when her new exhibit opens at the Bainbridge Island Library on Friday Evening, April 5th. Ever since Cynthia Lait can remember, she's been creating art. From drawing horses as a child, to rising early as a young mother to get some studio time before getting her kids off to school and herself to work to her current situation of having her studio set up the way she likes it, Cynthia likes to be creative. She took the occasional art class in high school, but when it came time for college she chose to become a chemical engineer, a degree that informs her creativity process more than one would think. With her children now grown she now has time for a more serious studio practice. She's inspired by nature; memories of a walk in the woods, playing at the beach. She's inspired by movement; the changes in color and shape as an object moves. And she's inspired by patterns; the evident and not-so-evident, the beginnings, middles and endings. For her collage work she paints Japanese papers with vibrant colors then cuts, arranges and re-arranges these pieces of paper until it resonates. She likes the definition of the clean edges so that the work takes on more graphical style. Come meet Cynthia at the Bainbridge Library when her show opens Friday, April 5, from 5:30 to 7 pm. For more of her work, visit http://www.cynthialait.com. Credits: BCB Host: John Fossett; BCB audio editor and publisher: Diane Walker; social media: Jen St. Louis.

Listen here as poet and organizer Sue Hylen explains how she managed to coordinate plans for the library and for the Bainbridge Island Photo Club, and tells what to expect for opening night, Friday, March 1, from 5 - 7 pm.

Over 40 defibrillators have been installed around our island since Islander Jack Sutherland's cardiac arrest at a Rotary meeting. Listen here as BIFD Fire Chief Hank Teran, Rotary president Robin Goldston, and Jack Sutherland describe this remarkable project: a heartwarming story for American Heart Month. Chief Teran was attending a rotary meeting when Rotarian Jack Sutherland suddenly collapsed in full cardiac arrest. Chief Teran assessed the situation, immediately began CPR with the help of Rotarian Sean Marcella, and called for a defibrillator. Aid cars arrived carrying the vital equipment, and three shocks and a helicopter transport to Harborview later, Jack was able to survive with no repercussions. But survival wasn't enough for Jack. Realizing that without the quick actions of Teran, Marcella, and the defibrillator he would not be here today, Jack spearheaded a Rotary project to spend $25,000 of auction moneys installing AEDs -- Automated External Defibrillators -- in police cars, at Parks District locations, and throughout the island, to ensure that these life-saving devices would be more readily available to anyone in need. Jack, who negotiated the sale of the units, installs them himself with the help of Rotarians Tom Lindsley and Tom McCloskey. He also trains people at each installation on how to use the units, and photographs the units for BIFD to add to the PulsePoint app so they're easier to locate. Curious about AED's and CPR? BIFD offers monthly hands-on training classes in both. To sign up, visit the BIFD website at https://www.bifd.org/classes-and-registration. And to get instant access to AED locations on the island, be sure to install the PulsePoint app on your mobile device. Credits: BCB  host and editor: Diane Walker; social media: Jen St. Louis.

Curious about our upcoming EMS levy? In this podcast BCB host Diane Walker invites Fire Chief Hank Teran, BIFD Finance Manager Ed Kaufman and Fire Commissioner Tim Carey to explain why the levy is needed, why it's set to be permanent, and what will happen if the levy fails. The levy, which is set to replace a previous levy that expires in December of this year, will fund not only EMS staff but also medical supplies, equipment, community risk reduction work, and training for our increasingly busy EMS squad. Partly because island population is aging, and partly because BIFD is the only organization on the Island that provides 24 hour emergency services, total BIFD call volume has increased 35% since 2012. 70% of those calls are for EMS and rescue services, and 30% of those calls are concurrent, so any reduction in staff could seriously impact the current response times. BIFD already has a permanent fire levy, but ours is the last district in Kitsap county to institute a permanent EMS levy. Though the department is legally allowed to collect at 50¢ per $1,000 property value, they are only asking for 40¢, based on the BIFD strategic plan and current financial projections. For more information and to view copies of the BIFD strategic plan, financial reports, community offerings and more, visit the Fire Department's website at BIFD.org.  Credits: BCB  host and editor: Diane Walker; social media: Jen St. Louis.

The population of older adults is growing at an unprecedented pace here on Bainbridge Island. Approximately 1/4 of the people living on Bainbridge Island are 65 or older. Recognizing this, it was decided that the next five years are crucial for the development of the Senior Center at Waterfront Park.  The Board of Directors therefore embarked on a strategic planning effort to address current and emerging needs and to build organizational capacity to support and sustain the Center's growth and success. Based on the input from a series of five community listening sessions, the plan was completed and approved by the Board at its annual meeting on January 8, 2019. In this podcast Reed Price, Executive Director of the Senior Center; Nancy Lewars, a long time board member; Ann Lovejoy, a new board member; and guest host John McKenzie, a volunteer and supporter of the strategic planning effort, talk about why a 5 year strategic plan is necessary for the Senior Center, how it was created, what has already been accomplished as a result of the plan, and what is expected from it in the future. For more about the Senior Center, its many and varied program offerings, and the new strategic plan, visit https://biseniorcenter.org/.

This free 12-week program lets you meet police officers and see their work first-hand; listen here to learn more.
