Subject: [BCMA MBEN] Cuts to Youth Employment Programs? CAP Cuts Impact?
Hello Members & Subscribers;
The dominos continue to fall as a result of the federal funding cuts =
September 26...and BCMA is trying to keep the consequences front and =
centre before our MP's...
BCMA has been compiling data on the impact of cuts to youth employment =
programs in terms of real numbers, as we believe these to be far more =
grave and wider reaching, especially for small museums, than the =
cutbacks to MAP--which funded 30 BC institutions in 2003-04 and only 21 =
in 2004-05, (2005-06 figures not posted yet by Canadian Heritage).
"Due to the Privacy Act", as cited by the department of Human Resources =
and Social Development Canada, BCMA cannot obtain a central list of all =
BC museums and art galleries that sponsored Summer Career Placement =
students over spring and summer 2006.
Instead, we have to obtain individual riding-by-riding lists of program =
clients from BC MP's (now in progress), because MP's are required to =
sign-off on all federal-client agreements.
Therefore, we are asking BC museums and art galleries to quickly respond =
to BCMA-L or MBEN ("members only" dedicated listeserv) with the =
following information ASAP:
1. Did your institution receive student placements this spring and/or =
summer? (Institution Name?) yes-summer Greenwood Heritage Society =
(Museum)
2. How many? Job Title(s)? For how long (number of weeks)? 1-student; =
Title-Museum Attendant/Visitor Counsellor; No. of weeks - 14
3. Did you receive all positions you applied for? (ie. 3 of 4, etc) No - =
we applied for 2 positions
4. Under what federal program? (ie. Summer Career Placement, Young =
Canada Works? Other-please identify?) Program - Summer Career Placement
5. What was the $$$-value of your 2006 youth employment agreement? The =
value of the agreement - $5, 056
6. Please list in point form how NOT having access to these, or similar =
youth employment programs, will have an impact on your institution:
-hours for our Museum/Visitor Centre will have to be cut
-loss of revenue
-loss of tourism to the City=3Dloss of revenue for our City businesses
-the only industry we have is TOURISM! We are a single industry city and =
our museum is the major attraction. If we have to cut our hours it =
could have devastating results for all of us.
ALSO: This week, CBC Radio 1 carried stories concerning cutbacks to the =
Community Access Program (CAP) that assisted with the provision of =
internet access and regional servers to enable public internet access, =
including through such public institutions as public libraries, but may =
also affect remote access via internet, in more rural areas.=20
Details are still surfacing, but BCMA wants to know if your institution =
has been or may be affected (ie. regional servers) in the future by the =
loss or severe restriction of such service?
BCMA has added a discussion about federal program cuts to our Annual =
General Meeting agenda for Saturday, October 21st and having the latest =
information and examples of the impacts (it's plural) is important to =
this discussion.
Meanwhile, please keep your direct letters to your MP, Minister Oda, PM =
Harper coming. Please copy BCMA, (thanks to all of you who have), but =
also your MLA and mayor and council.
Thank you! See You at Conference 2006 next week!
--Jim
