The next step in the study is to host a series of community focus groups to present the preliminary results, generate feedback and discuss future steps to strengthen the cultural sector.

LOCATION: SLRD Board Room, 1350 Aster St., Pemberton
REGISTRATION: Online at www.seatoskycorridor.ca or by phone at 1-866-680-3926 (ext.307)
Meetings are open to artists, arts organizations, community stakeholders and residents who are generally interested in seeing the arts flourish in their communities.
BUSINESS NEWS
From the desk of Rick Thorpe, BC Minister of Small Business and Revenue
British Columbia has launched Straightforward BC; Regulation, Clear and Simple, a progress report on our government's drive to reduce red tape, and a commitment to a zero net increase in government regulations through 2012.
We commit to holding the line on red tape, with our goal to ensuring any new regulations are clear and easy to understand. For every new regulation introduced over the next four years, one or more unnecessary regulations will be cut.
The benefits of regulatory reform are not limited to small business owners; every citizen benefits when government forms and processes are streamlined and simplified.
The combination of the provinces' regulatory reform model and significant personal and all business tax reductions has helped transform British Columbia into Canada's most business friendly province and indeed, the best place on earth.
