Increase the Number of Residency Positions in B.C.
District of Elkford council Nov. 14 appointed Mayor Dean McKerracher or an alternate to be part of the working group being established by Dr. Moira Stillwell, MLA Vancouver-Langara to develop an approach to bring home the B.C. medical students studying to become doctors in other countries. More than 500 B.C. residents are studying to be physicians in many English speaking countries. They face the challenge of finding the B.C. residency positions when they graduate. Dr. Stillwell’s goal is to increase the number of training residency positions across B.C.
B.C. Community Living Action Group
The district endorsed the resolution put forward by City of Vancouver council to urge the provincial government to end funding cuts for adults with developmental disabilities, resulting in the closure of group homes and mounting waiting lists for services.
Development Variance Permit, 3 Dalton Place
Council defeated the motion to issue a Development Variance Permit for 3 Dalton Place, for the placement of a mobile home. The structure does not meet the setback requirements of the Zoning Bylaw. Staff will provide information to the property owners to provide them with options available to them.
Development Variance Permit, 3A Intata Road
Council postponed authorizing the issuance of the Development Variance Permit for 3A Intata Road. The owner requested a height variance for the industrial building from 12 metres to 19.20 m. Objection was received regarding the variance, due to the concern that the height increase could disrupt internet service. Council will give further consideration to this item at the next council meeting, after more information is gathered on the subject.
