MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR
I’m not a very big movie or music buff but I do watch films and listen to tunes when I need a break from the stress of daily life. A few years back, I watched The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel where in one scene, the main character tells an angry guest “all’s well that ends well, and if it’s not well, it’s not the end.”
I’ve used that quote often over the years, especially during the last 18 months as our industry tackles one challenge after another. I suspect that as our members and stakeholders desperately try to endure a series of crises, many are hoping and praying that all will turn out to be well in the end.
Similarly, Lady Gaga’s song, Million Reasons features a lyric that says “I’ve got a hundred million reasons to walk away, but baby, I just need one good one to stay.” I’ve played this song at leadership retreats and staff meetings as a source of inspiration recognizing that during extremely difficult times, it’s easy to give up but sometimes all we need is one good reason to show up. In fact, that’s how I view people in our industry who have again proven to be among the strongest and most resilient professionals of any sector…doing everything possible to keep the lights on one more day.
Speaking of doing what it takes…one of our individual and collective obligations is to continue advocating for government measures that the tourism industry needs to recover and rebuild…and that includes engaging in the federal election campaign and ultimately casting a vote on September 20th.
Some of the major parties have unveiled their respective platforms which include help for tourism and hospitality. We highlighted promises made by both the Liberals and Conservatives in our newsletter earlier this week. Some of those commitments align with what TIABC and our national, provincial and territorial counterparts have been asking for. Nonetheless, it behoves all of us to educate ourselves on party platforms, speak with candidates of all parties, and ask the tough questions to ensure our industry’s voice is heard and prioritized by the next government.
Within today’s C-19 Bulletin, you’ll find TIABC’s Election Guide to help you engage in this campaign and to provide you with guidance on issues and ‘asks’ of your local MP hopefuls.
With one month of summer left, I hang on to the hope that all’s well that ends well on all fronts for the sake of our industry and for our country. At the same time, I'm mindful that we have a long long way to go, especially after further setbacks with wildfires and rising COVID cases today.
Vivek Sharma
Chair, TIABC Board of Directors

More BC Communities Benefit from
Emergency Preparedness Funding
Another 38 communities throughout BC have been awarded funding for flood planning through a program that has provided more than $75 million to First Nations and local governments for projects to better prepare for, mitigate and respond to emergencies.
The $77-million Community Emergency Preparedness Fund (CEPF), administered through the Union of BC Municipalities, is a suite of programs designed to enhance the resiliency of First Nations communities, local governments and residents. The successful applicants for the latest round of funding have been provided $5.1 million to prevent, eliminate or reduce potential hazards through flood planning.

Business Associations Lobby for
Proof of Vaccination Plan for BC
Several business associations, including TIABC, joined forces to submit a letter to Premier Horgan to call for a government led Proof of Vaccination Program for the province.
The letter states that while BC’s vaccination success to date is applauded, there is concern that the recent surge in daily case counts and hospitalizations risks derailing BC’s Restart Plan, which is scheduled to enter its final step in less than a month. There is also growing concern about the number of people who, for medical reasons or through personal choice, will not be vaccinated and, by default, may be conduits for transmission, potentially putting vaccinated populations and recovery efforts at risk.
The letter explains the need to return certainty and predictability to the business environment by leveraging all the tools available to to keep employees, customers and patrons safe and businesses operating. Businesses and their employees need more support, especially those that would be forced to close if there was an outbreak or public health restrictions are reinstated.
For that reason, there is a request to government to introduce a “Proof of Vaccination” program for situations that attract large groups with prolonged exposure where physical distancing is difficult to maintain (e.g. at concerts and sporting events), to help mitigate transmission, rebuild consumer confidence and drive economic recovery.
The letter concludes by saying the concerned organizations are keen to help and would be pleased to offer their collective insights on developing such a program so that it is set up to succeed and will be supported by business.
Click here to read the letter to Premier Horgan in its entirety.
Led by the BC Chamber of Commerce, the other organizations working together on this initiative include; TIABC, the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade, BC Craft Brewers Guild, Business Council of BC, ABLE BC, Surrey Board of Trade, BC Hotel Association, BC Restaurants and Food Services Association, and the Retail Council of Canada.

The province of British Columbia is facing an unprecedented season of wildfires this year. The Government of BC has recorded over 935 new wildfire starts since July 1st for a total of 1,327 wildfires and over half a million hectares burned or currently active.
“Our thoughts are with the people of British Columbia who have been tragically impacted by the fires,” says Andrew Westlund, CEO of the Westlund Group and SKY Helicopters Inc. “Our team at SKY is fully committed to supporting the firefighting efforts in our province.”
“SKY Helicopters aircraft and crews have been assisting the BC Wildfire Service since July.” says Clayton Reid, Chief Pilot and Operations Manager, SKY Helicopters. “Our pilots and helicopters are always on standby and ready to deploy at a moment’s notice.”
The Westlund Group, of which SKY Helicopters is a member, will be donating to the Red Cross British Columbia Fires Appeal Fund. All eligible donations to the Red Cross British Columbia Fires appeal will be matched by the Government of Canada (until August 10) and the Province of British Columbia (until December 31).

Have Your Say on BC's Permanent Sick Leave Proposal
British Columbians are invited to provide input into the development of made-in-BC permanent paid sick leave to support workers and protect workplaces.
In addition to outreach to key stakeholders and Indigenous partners, a public consultation process is now open and can be accessed through government’s engagement site.
There will be two phases of consultation:
Phase 1 (Aug. 5 to Sept. 14) – surveys will gather information from employers and workers on the kinds of paid illness and injury leaves currently provided, and how they are meeting workers’ needs; and
Phase 2 (Sept. 20 to Oct. 25) – informed by the surveys, options will be prepared for various paid sick leave models, including the numbers of paid days and other supports, and will be posted for public feedback and input.
In May 2021, amendments to the Employment Standards Act laid the groundwork for establishing minimum standards for a permanent paid sick leave entitlement. Following the public engagement process, paid sick leave will be established through a regulation, and come into effect on January 1st, 2022.
