Book Description
Northern British Columbia has always played an important role in Canada’s economy, but for many Canadians it also existed as an almost forgotten place: a vast territory where only a few roads, some railroad tracks, and a ferry system connected small cities, towns, and villages to the outside world. Now, as the global appetite for oil, gas, hydroelectricity, wood, and minerals intensifies, this resource-rich and geographically important region is being pulled onto the national and international economic stages. As debates around pipelines, mines, and hydroelectric projects intensify in local coffee shops, distant boardrooms, and the halls of Parliament, this timely volume examines the connections and tensions between resource communities and global market forces, illuminating how governments, Aboriginal peoples, organized labour, NGOs, and the private sector are adapting to, resisting, and embracing change.

Pages : 61
Book Description
Health care cuts affect Williams Lake hospital, 2004. Community Health Councils and their replacement with a limited number of Health Authorities. Changes in Residential Care (RC), Assisted Living (AL) and Acute Care (AC) Beds by Region, 2001-2004. "When rural hospitals close, and access to maternity care and other services is lost, lost, it sets in motion a domino effect. Rural communities will find it more difficult to recruit and retain physicians (who rightly want to practice the full spectrum of care, which requires hospital support). And patients have even more limited alternatives in terms of access to care.", pg 36 of report.
Governing Ourselves?
Author: Mary Louise McAllisterPublisher: UBC Press
ISBN: 0774840749
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
Given the pressures of integration and assimilation, how are people within communities able to make decisions about their own environment, whether individually or collectively? Governing Ourselves? explores issues of influence and power within local institutions and decision-making processes using numerous illustrations from municipalities across Canada. It shows how communities large and small, from Toronto to Iqaluit, have distinctive political cultures and therefore respond differently to changing global and domestic environments. Case studies illuminate historical and contemporary challenges to local governance. This book covers topics including government structures and institutions and intergovernmental relations and reaches more broadly into geography, urban planning, environmental studies, public administration, and sociology.
