Four pages discussing the fires in BC, the evacuation of 25K people from the Jasper wildfire, but no mention of the 10K impacted by the wildfire in Labrador City. CBC News (2024, July 20) Canadian Red Cross (n.d.)

Adding some insight to my earlier comments; This documentary Elemental was screened last week at the 49th Natural Hazards Workshop in Bloomfield CO. This is a timely topic for our volunteers and ERU response. Ralph offers a wildfire survivors’ program and is developing a grade school education...

I love the tight, comfy design, charm and feel of Jasper. Despite that, how can the province be blamed for so much of this? As I mentioned above, when North America's best trained, highest budgeted FD (LA county) says they can't stop urban wildfires, and the millions spent on "forrest...

Attending last week’s 49th Natural Hazards Workshop in Colorado, several sessions discussed the urban interface with wildfires and various topics aligned with preparedness and mitigation for the risks from wildfires. Repeatedly, the message is clear, 90% of a successful effort is accomplished...

I have no jump experience. The highlighted part sounds similar to hitting the emergency brakes when you really wanted to reach for the break pedal?

Correct. Collecting CPP does not change your IRB, because CPP is an offset dollar for dollar. You need to communicate your intentions of when you begin to collect CPP, if you choose to delay, or draw early, because VAC will assume age 65.

Under the current Canadian disaster response plan, NGO volunteers are expected to deploy between 7 to 21 days, for a single event. In 2023, the East coast saw three major events requiring both civilization and CAF deployments. So achieving a 30 day cumulative criteria is currently possible and...

If a civilian version of FEMA could earn a medal for 30 cumulative days in a calendar year, a CAF medal with similar criteria makes sense.

You did read that off of moral patch, right? :LOL:

It was an optional recommended reading for an Advanced Research Methods - Thesis preparation. course. One of the article writers was the course professor and one was a guest speaker for the course.

Thread locked. 🔒 Usual caveats apply if there is anything pertinent to add to the discussion. Navy.ca staff

The average person did not receive a 23.27% salary increase in Nova Scotia. The market will reach a point nobody can afford the asking price because the banks won't approve their mortgage application.

For my research study, I have had to take this issue into consideration as well. The difficult part is that a large portion of volunteers with these NGOs are also employed in first responder roles. The challenge is how to attract more Canadians who are not already volunteering.

Yes, That was my second reference. :LOL:

No. To save money, federal and provincial governments will rely on the cheaper option of NGOs and volunteers. Reference: Public safety volunteers. (2024). Government of British Columbia. Public safety volunteers Thurton, D. (2024, May 11). Ottawa turns to civilian first responders as...

I will miss his sharp whit and rhetoric. Debating with him would be an experience. Condolences to his family.

DEC can be reviewed and removed if a veteran's status has changed substantially. The bar measuring the removal of DEC is higher than the bar for being deemed incapacitated. So earning a degree on it's own does not always trigger a review. The Education Training Benefit (ETB) is available for any...

Unless we declare martial law, unorganised events will occur for this event. No State, Province or community in the path of the solar eclipse requested the privilege of hosting this event. All they can do is plan for it as best as possible, to mitigate the worst effects.
