Integrated courts. The difference between safety and ongoing harm.

In this article, Pat Shannon, our Staff Lawyer, explains how survivors of domestic abuse face the risk of retraumatization and even conflicting judgments due to the lack of an integrated court system in BC. https://t.co/9iXejoyBBV via @torontostar

The BC Review Board has granted a conditional discharge for a man convicted in the brutal slayings of his 3 children.

Boudreau’s written disposition says Schoenborn must also report any intimate relationships, he must be on good behaviour, and not possess or use any weapons or drugs.

Azaroff told reporters Tuesday from the back steps of city hall that he wants an answer from both parties by 11:30 a.m. Friday on whether they will participate in a contest.

Pete Fry: It would have been nice for OneCity to have opened with more of a good faith negotiation rather than sort of an ultimatum - that does not bode well for how we communicate moving forward. #VanPoli

Stewart Prest, a lecturer in political science at the University of British Columbia, called the code of conduct process flawed.

“I think you can’t help but come away with a sense of conflict, and conflict of interest of another sort when you see the mayor and his majority on council voting to put aside recommendations that referred to the problems with the mayor’s own behavior and choices,” he said.

Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim will not be sanctioned for breaching the municipal code of conduct by misusing his office to harass and personally attack a newly elected opposition councillor last year.

"When I reported my rape, I never imagined not having a day in court. I've received no justice. The man who did this to me is still out there."

This note was given to me at Queen's Park last week by a sexual assault survivor who didn't want to be identified. #onpoli #LydiasLaw

@KootenaySDMF Perpetrators are everywhere. In our homes, families, neighborhoods, workplaces, churches, government, police, everywhere.

The suspect will face two counts each of sexual assault with a weapon, sexual assault, sexual exploitation and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose. He will also face a charge possessing and accessing child sexual abuse and exploitation material.

An independent mediator has found online retail giant Amazon responsible for the breakdown of first-contract bargaining at YVR2, its only unionized fulfilment centre in British Columbia.

The union says a report that was filed by the mediator with the B.C. Labour Relations Board found Amazon demanded the union permanently waive any right to challenge how hard and fast workers are required to work and told the mediator it would “never” move from that position.

It says the company also withheld wage proposals until April, despite the mediator asking it to table one.

“The mediator found both failures were unreasonable and that Amazon’s conduct materially caused the bargaining impasse,” Unifor said in a news release.

“I didn’t want it to define me,” McGrath says. “I went public on Facebook, taking a big chance because not everybody talks about getting a beating.”

More then a decade after that last assault — and even amidst all the love and support from her family, in her new home on Newfoundland’s Burin Peninsula — terrifying memories still creep in.

“I actually still sleep with the window open at my house,” she said. “Because I can still feel his hands around my neck sometimes.”
