At the end of the morning, a Mass of thanksgiving was celebrated for the completion of the work. Many people took part through symbols and sharing in the prayers of the faithful. Brother Jean-Pierre Destombes, Superior of the community, outlined in his homily the significance of the celebration. The central act of the afternoon began with a welcome from Brother Jean-Pierre. He referred to the beautiful architectural setting they were gathered in, the courtyard of St Joseph, giving access to the different parts of the complex, full of light and symbols. Brother Maurice Berquet, Provincial of the Province of the Hermitage, thanked all the persons involved in the work of renovation. Among the present, he made particular mention of Brothers Seán Sammon and Luis García Sobrado, Superior General and Vicar when the project was launched, "received by the provincials with enthusiasm but also with questions". Brother Maurice
could affirm that "no one among the members of the Provincial council of the time could have suspected the breadth of support we received". Thanks then followed to the international community which welcomes pilgrims to the Hermitage, "sign of a fraternity without frontiers". Without them, "the walls would be nothing". To the architect Joan Puig-Pey and his team he showed his admiration and gratitude for having known how "to emphasize the historical aspect
Marist News
of the building while at the same time adapting it to the needs of the modern world". He was grateful to the volunteers who had collaborated in the running of the house and the Association of the Friends of N.D de l'Hermitage who supported the management of the surrounds. Gratitude was also extended to the provincials of Europe, the brothers and persons coming from different countries who "made manifest the family and international character of this house". He concluded by addressing the Bishop of Saint-Etienne, Dominique Lebrun, whom he thanked for his part in the blessing of the new Hermitage, the sanctuary where reposed the remains of a saint of the diocese, drawing in pilgrimage "Brothers and laity from all corners of the world". His concluding words were: "I am very happy to welcome all to the renovated house of Marcellin Champagnat". M. Rochebloine, a representative of the former students of the Brothers manifested his satisfaction at being able to take part and remarked that he "remained profoundly marked by the teaching of the 'blue brothers', as they were known in the region". M. Philippe Kizirian, Mayor of Saint Chamond, emphasised the importance the Hermitage occupied "in the cultural and spiritual diffusion in our
Year III - Number 120
city". He congratulated the architect who "has fulfilled the expectations of the Marist community in translating its wishes through the colour, distribution and arrangement of the spaces favourable to spiritual reflection, and those dedicated to communal living and encounter, open to all who wanted to reflect personally or in a group". He was also grateful that he had known how to "preserve the river Gier, symbol of our city". He extended his thanks to the whole Institute because "persons all around the world know Saint-Chamond thanks to you". And he finished by wishing that "this beautiful facility be a place of spirituality, community, concord, at the same time as a polyvalent and practical place for carrying out cultural exchanges of international importance". Those gathered were then able to take part in a guided tour of the different parts of the house, during which the historical aspect of the places where events had occurred was highlighted. The tour over, Bishop Lebrun blessed the house. It was the moment when he observed that this international house was the sanctuary of the only canonically recognised saint in his diocese. For this reason, the house was seen in the diocese as a centre for the renewal of hearts. All the congregation walked in procession around the outside of the house to the chapel where repose the remains of Saint Marcellin Champagnat. Here was read out the message of Brother Emili Turú, Superior General. In his message for the inauguration, he emphasised that "just like the construction of the Hermitage by Father Champagnat, the renovated Hermitage we have before our eyes is an act
of faith in the future… full of hope". And he said that for the Institute, the renovated Hermitage was an icon of a Church-communion, with a Marial face, an icon of Marist apostolic spirituality and an icon of the work of renewal going on in the Institute. He concluded with the hope that "the renovated Hermitage may continue being faithful to the spirit of universalism, daring and creativity that animated Father Champagnat". In the courtyard of St Joseph is a painting, with Arab inscription, made by the Muslim painters involved in the works of the house, manifesting the gratitude and admiration of these workers for the treatment they experienced during their period of activity. The text of an Arab proverb reads: « We cannot veil the rays of the sun nor blow out the light of truth ». Other plaques record the names of all involved in the construction, in alphabetical order, without giving special attention to the architects, engineers, or supervisors of the work. A beautiful sign of the community of work accompanied by the Marist charism which shows the Marial face of the community of brothers. Thus closes a chapter of preparation for the future. The work achieved is not a museum, although it has references to the past, but a work of the present, which brings life, open to the future with great faith and a firm hope to confront the challenges of new times. The Hermitage moves towards the future with the security that Mary continues to do everything for us.

Course Manziana 2010 Spanish and Portuguese course for brothers of the 3rd age
urprise. This is the term which best suits this course: Manziana 2010. Present here are 26 brothers, including a Marianist priest and a brother, togther with the three responsable for the organization and direction of the course, called "AMANECER" (Dawn) for those who have already reached the "third age". It is already a surprise to have reached the age near or recently passed of 70 years. We are already on these heights, the epoch of jubilation (of "jubilee"), of leaving tasks we have performed all our life, to discover ways in a MISSION that never ends. It is a group with ability that on reaching and looking from this point, cannot refrain from exclaiming "Thanks to the life which has given me so much" (V. Parra).
gation, pushing towards community in MISSION and in Marist SPIRITUALITY.
It was no less a surprise to receive at home (in this house) already in the first days Br. Emili Turú, Superior General, bringing us the reflection from our last General Chapter, with its call to "journey in haste" in a religious life of authentic newness, so to give response to a world which demands fullness from the disciples of JESÚS. Connected to this call, we also reflected with Br. Ernesto Sánchez, Councillor General on the "Marist community" which we ought to be, animated by the MARIAN SPIRITUALITY (Br. Giovanni Bigotto) so as to continue living the demands of the MARIST MISSION in the face of a mass of challenges. Mission has not finished, and today requires of us sanctity and offers us ways of renewal. We also received from Br. Giovanni much information about our saints and the present state of their causes: Br. François, Br. Basilio, our martyrs in the different parts of Marist geography. Another reflection which is acquiring maturity, we received from "Chema", naturally about the presence of the laity in our Church and in the Congre-
So from surprise to surprise, we go discovering an actuality which is also ours, when the time comes to spend 10 days in the Marist places: L'Hermitage, La Valla, Le Rosey. New surprises. In those places of the cradle of the Institute we could exclaim "In the beginning" (Gen. 1,1), thus it all began. In the modesty and humility, in the poverty and the sharing of La Valla, as it is still manifest, or in the Hemitage, renovated without losing its originality. We discovered the beginnings of a grace which has come down to us, challenging to a renewed response of Marist life with the same creativity of the Spirit it had in its origins. From the modesty and poverty came the response which God asked for, to a world questioning and anxious for instruction and Christian education. Rosey, La Valla, L'Hermitage, cradle evocative of our Marist origins. Le Puy, Fourvière, places which show society through the ages the need for God, open to Him from their often basic needs, such as health, hunger, and education. They were the sources of our Marist and other ecclesial Con-
gregations and Societies which reveal to us today the ways of the past and question us about the challenges of the future. One further aspect, and not the least, to emphasize is the presence at the Hermitage of the Marist community formed by Brothers from different provinces, but also lay people, including a married couple, who give a brotherly welcome, and the joyful witness and inspiration of a shared Marist life, at the service of love for our sources and at the same time of the continuing relevance of the Marist charism, without geographical boundaries or the differences of states of life. So from surprise to surprise our "Amanecer" course of the "third age" has seen itself developing in this first month. We have yet another in which, surely, we will continue being surprised by the Spirit. He hopes of us, as a religious congregation and as religious, an openness to living so many surprising stages under the maternal protection of Mary, living always "under your protection, Holy Mother of God".

Champagnat Movement of the Marist Family 2nd European Assembly of the MChFM
he 2nd European Assembly of the MCHFM (Champagnat Movement of the Marist Family) was held in Guardamar, Spain, from the 4th to the 8th of August; the motto was: "On the road to a new land!" The basic objective of the gathering was to encourage the "new life" that God is asking today of the Marist fraternities of Europe. The participants came from Germany, Belgium, Spain, France, Greece, Italy, Portugal and Lebanon. There were three distinct, but related, stages: in the first, the reality of the MCHFM in Europe was presented, as well as the challenges the European Council has been able to identify over these past four years of its existence. Then, there was a sharing of "new realities" that the fraternities in each of the provinces have lived during the past four years. In the second stage, we had a wonderful reflection by De La Salle Br. Antonio Botana on the charismatic families that have developed in the Church-communion: that new concept of the Church that arose after Vatican II and the implications it has among us who share the same charism. Along with this, we were familiarized with two ecclesial realities that incarnate in different styles this Church-communion: the Chemin Neuf movement and the congregation of the Pious Schools (Escolapians). In the third stage, we discerned the most important calls the European fraternities have at this time. These came to the surface very clearly and with a large consensus of the whole assembly: 1. Design and encourage processes of joint formation. 2. Live the mission, putting our gifts
at the service of others. 3. Strengthen communion among the fraternities. We also reflected, by province, on action steps that need to be taken to respond to these calls, conscious that we have to work at the local and provincial levels in order to make real all that we saw, had insights into and discerned as a group. Bringing the meeting to a close, the assembly voted on some proposals that the European Council of the Movement had presented. The following motions were approved unanimously: a. The continuation of the European Council of the MCHFM. b. The implementation of a European delegate assembly every 4 years. c. To request the European Brothers Provincial for a brother to accompany the Council. d. To begin reflecting of the Life Project of the MCHFM and to set up a calendar for dates to consider this and other common themes. e. To petition the European Council to initiate a reflection that might assist in moving towards greater autonomy of the Movement.
All of the work was very interesting and needed, but what everyone remarked on the enjoyed most was the familiar and affectionate atmosphere that prevailed from the beginning of the meeting: the unity we had among ourselves and a great joy of profound sharing at the different stages: the prayers, the times of recreation, the small groups, the plenary sessions, the fiesta… A sense of great confidence and vision pervaded the entire meeting, allowing us to truly build a family that shared, dialogued, confronted and enjoyed such life that we sensed in each one of us and in our realities. Perhaps because of this, the final symbol of the assembly was a sponge, one of which everyone received as a reminder of what we had lived and what we are sent to be from now on. We recognize in a particular way the support of the Brother Provincials of Europe in bringing this assembly about and we thank God and one another for the gift we have received and which causes us to look to the future with much hope and a desire to set out on the road to a new land.

By narrowing the scope of this research to the dynamics generated traditionally by means of those contrasting phrases, he additionally seeks to figure out what precisely lies on the center of theology's probably so much valuable item: the presentation past any illustration, the meant actual nucleus of all revelation and what lies in the back of any look for a 'theology of immanence' today.

He probes the philosophical and theological roots of satisfaction in reading its transformation in Western tradition.

The clandestine release program is likely to spark protests among Republicans in Congress, who vocally opposed the release of the Guantanamo detainees.
According to the Post, the fighters who are released would not be able to go through the traditional legal system for military detainees.
The prisoners are not required to disavow the Taliban — which is a requirement in a formal reconciliation effort in Afghanistan — and in some cases the detainees are used for peace efforts as well.
The detainees are required to promise to give up violence, the Post reported, although officials would not say whether anyone released had returned to the fight.
"Everyone agrees they are guilty of what they have done and should remain in detention. Everyone agrees that these are bad guys. But the benefits outweigh the risks," one unnamed U.S. official told the Post.
Reconciliation with the Taliban is one tenet of the U.S. plan to draw down in Afghanistan and hand control to the Afghan security forces in 2014, but officials said this release program is not part of a deal with the Taliban.
Officials would not say how many fighters have been released under the strategic review program, which does not require congressional approval, but characterized it as a relatively rare occurrence.

Breakdown of BCS bowl games
An in-depth look at the five BCS bowl games.
Rose Bowl
Jan. 1
Pasadena, Calif.
TCU vs. Wisconsin
There but for the grace of a few gags, this could've been for the national championship.
Had Oregon and Auburn both lost on Saturday, TCU would've been a near-lock to play in the BCS Championship Game, while Wisconsin might have found a way to slip into the title game as, theoretically, the best of the BCS conference champions. But it didn't happen, and now the Badgers and Horned Frogs will play an interesting and historic Rose Bowl.
The Rose had to take the highest-ranked, eligible, non-automatic qualifying team the first time it lost a Big Ten or Pac-10 school to the BCS Championship Game, and while Boise State appeared to be destined here a few weeks ago, now it should be a terrific slugfest with TCU looking to show it belongs among the big boys with a move to the Big East in 2012. The Horned Frogs completed their second straight perfect season, but the respect isn't quite there, and the national title talk certainly wasn't there, compared with Boise State. The best BCS win came against Oregon State in a ho-hum, 30-21 opener, and while the blowout over Utah was nice, it lost its luster after the Utah got blasted by Notre Dame.
TCU is No. 1 in the nation in total defense, scoring defense, pass defense and pass efficiency defense, allowing seven points or fewer in seven games and allowing more than 20 in just three of the wins. Can the aggressive, talented defense handle the hottest offense in college football?
Wisconsin closed out the year red hot, hanging 83 on Indiana and 70 on Northwestern as part of a breathtaking run of offensive efficiency and power. The Badgers scored 31 or more in each of the final seven games after the loss at Michigan State, and they improved and got sharper as the year went on. With the first trip to Pasadena since winning the 1999 and 2000 Rose Bowls, Wisconsin finally gets to shed its tag of being the best program to not be in a BCS game over the past 10 years.
Fiesta Bowl
Glendale, Ariz.
Oklahoma vs. Connecticut
You'll have to forgive the Fiesta Bowl if it's a little bit grouchy about getting stuck with the Aunt Edna of the BCS season.
It's not as if TCU vs. Boise State wasn't a good matchup last year — both teams were undefeated — but it was the kiddie table compared with some of the other great-looking showdowns, and the game turned out to be a dog. This year, it's Oklahoma, who's a Fiesta Bowl regular, making this the third trip in the past five years, against a plucky but punchless Connecticut team that's finishing up with its "Little Engine That Could," rags-to-riches story.
The Huskies didn't become an FBS team until 2000 and didn't join the Big East until 2004, but they quickly became a regular on the bowl circuit and are 3-1 in postseason games since beating Toledo in the 2004 Motor City Bowl. Jordan Todman is among the nation's best running backs, the defense is tough and nasty and the team's games are almost always thrilling, with the three key Big East wins against South Florida, Pitt and West Virginia coming by a grand total of eight points. The offense can't throw a lick, and it'll be Food Network time if the Sooners get up by 10 early, but OU has gagged in the desert before. It was the far better team than Boise State in the 2007 game and West Virginia in the 2008 game, and both ended up being major upsets.
In fact, Oklahoma, for its fantastic resume under Bob Stoops and for all the big things the program has done since the BCS was formed, is 0-5 in BCS games since whacking Washington State in the 2003 Rose Bowl. This year's team isn't the best of the Stoops Big 12 champions, but it's explosive and has the firepower to make this a laugher if it's well-motivated.
Orange Bowl
Jan. 3
Virginia Tech vs. Stanford
The hope for the Orange Bowl is that Hokies fans fill the stadium, because while Stanford might be among the most attractive teams, the small fan base isn't going to travel in droves. But, on the field, this should still be a phenomenal game. There's a chance it could be the best matchup of the lot.
This is Stanford's first BCS appearance since Ty Willingham took the Cardinal to the 2000 Rose Bowl, a 17-9 loss to Wisconsin. Led by Andrew Luck, the possible first pick in the NFL draft when he's ready to come out, the Cardinal attack is ultra-efficient, tough and very physical. However, the team needs a signature win. The BCS computers loved Stanford, but the only real win of note was a blowout of Notre Dame. Mostly, Stanford's claim to fame is playing well for a half against Oregon in the team's lone loss of the season.
The ACC doesn't get much respect on a national scale, but Virginia Tech has earned the honor of being the league's signature team. With a third trip to the Orange Bowl in the past four years, the Hokies have owned the ACC, even if all anyone wants to remember are the tough losses like the gaffe to James Madison and the opener against Boise State. The Hokies came up with a win over Cincinnati in the 2009 Orange Bowl, but that was Cincinnati. Beating the No. 4-ranked team in the BCS would do wonders for the ACC, and it would only further Virginia Tech's reputation as the superpower it is.
Sugar Bowl
Jan. 4
New Orleans
Arkansas vs. Ohio State
Does Ohio State ever need this.
The Buckeyes shed the "Can't Win the Big One" tag with last year's Rose Bowl win over Oregon, and now they can peel away at the "Can't Beat the SEC" tag.
The Big Ten has done better than it might seem against the SEC over the years in the bowls, but the Buckeyes haven't been part of the fun, going 0-9 in bowls, including losses in the 2008 BCS Championship Game to LSU and the embarrassment of the 2007 BCS Championship Game to Florida. Forget that this has been the most consistently great BCS program in college football over the past 10 years and forget that this is an amazing sixth straight trip to a BCS game and eighth in the past nine years; the respect will never come from certain parts of the college football world until Ohio State can finally get over the SEC hump.
Speaking of brain cramps, Arkansas is 0-for-its-past-3 against the Big Ten in bowl games, and while a win over Ohio State would be nice to break that streak, it would be even more important to officially announce that the program is among the SEC elite under Bobby Petrino. The Hogs lost just two games, with a heartbreaker against Alabama that came down to the end and a shootout to Auburn when star quarterback Ryan Mallett got knocked out early. Since then, they've won six in a row, including a blowout of South Carolina and a win over LSU to get to the program's first BCS game and BCS-level bowl since the 1987 Orange Bowl against Oklahoma (a 42-8 loss).
Ohio State has gone 17-1 since inexplicably losing to Purdue last year, and the lone loss this season was a battle at Wisconsin. Outside of the loss in Madison, the Buckeyes have allowed more than 20 points twice – one time was a 73-20 win over Eastern Michigan – and have allowed a total of 51 points in the past five games. Arkansas scored 58 on UTEP three weeks ago and has averaged 42.5 points over the past seven weeks.
BCS Championship Game
Jan. 10
Glendale, Ariz.
Auburn vs. Oregon
TCU fans might have a little bit of a beef, but the BCS had it easy this season with just two unbeaten BCS teams left standing to make it all cut and dried. Auburn won the 1957 AP national championship despite beating no one of note and was the odd team out in 2004 when USC and Oklahoma played for the national title, and now the program can get a real, live, undisputed national championship of its own just a year after Alabama won it all. Auburn is keeping up with the Sabans.
Oregon has hovered around the national championship chase a few times, but the closest it has been was 2001, when Joey Harrington's team got passed over for Nebraska to play Miami in the Rose Bowl. The Ducks went on to blast Colorado in the Fiesta and finished second, but with a win over Auburn, it can bring the school its first championship, can win the Pac 10's second national title by someone other than USC since Washington's 1991 season and it can break the death grip the SEC currently has on the national championship.
The SEC has won the past four BCS championships and five of the past seven national titles, and Auburn has the running game, the defensive front and the signature superstar in Cam Newton to be the next in line to come home with the crystal egg. But if Oregon wins, counting the Reggie Bush-led 2004 USC team, this would be the Pac-10's second undisputed consensus national title since 1967 USC. To take this a step further, since the AP started naming national champions in 1937, this would be the first undisputed consensus national championship by a team currently in the Pac-10 ever.
It's a simple analysis: Who'll do a better job of stopping the run? Oregon is fourth in the nation in rushing and first in scoring, averaging 49 points, while the run defense is 16th in the nation. Auburn is sixth in the nation in rushing, averaged 43 points, and is 11th in the nation against the run.
And now we get five weeks to break it all down.

Getting Creative With Opportunities Advice
Avoid These Mistakes When Deciding for a Career Path
The career that you are going to choose will influence your satisfaction in life. Also, this will determine your earning potential now and also in the future. When you can change the career, then the process is quite time-consuming and may at times destabilize your life. In order to avoid such, it is very important that you get on the right career path from the start. In order to help you out, here are the mistakes that you must avoid making when it comes to selecting your career.
Make sure that you avoid paying attention to the opinions of others. It may be a great idea to seek for an advice, you must not base your decision just on what you hear from the other individuals. Your friends, family members and also your spouse have their opinion on what they want you to become but no other knows better than yourself. The people around you may select a career for you but they are not the ones who are going to work. The career that you select will not have that great impact on others but this can surely impact you in a great way. You should remember that you will be working 40 hours per week and there is nothing as bad as being in a location or field where you are not happy. You must listen to what other people say but you should keep in mind that you must make the final decision.
You should not just follow the footsteps of other people too. Probably, you have seen those families that have the same career. You can find a lot of doctors, lawyers as well as other professionals. There is nothing wrong with such but the studies have shown that a lot of individuals who have such families do this to please the family members and because of this reason, they are not happy with their lives. Because you are in a point in your life where you are choosing your career, then this means that you are no longer a child. As an adult, there is no point to live such unsatisfying life in order to please your parents. You have to let them know that you love them but your career should be your decision to make.
When you choose the right career, then you can get the satisfaction that you want in life and because of this, you will be successful in various areas that would include your family life. Also, there are studies which show that so many people are going for a particular career because of the money which they make. You should remember that money may give you the kind of comfort that you want but this cannot buy satisfaction.

Summer Safety Tips and Heatwave Awareness
Whether you're working or playing outside this summer, it's important to keep summer safety in mind as we approach the hottest period of the summer.
When outside, keep the following in mind:
- Wear appropriate clothing, including a wide-brimmed hat
- Take frequent water breaks
- Apply sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15
- Never leave kids or pets unattended in a vehicle
Learn more at The National Safety Council.
In recent years, excessive heat has caused more deaths than all other weather events, including floods. A heat wave is a prolonged period of excessive heat, generally 10 degrees or more above average. During the summer months, you can prepare in many ways:
- Listen to local weather forecasts and stay aware of upcoming temperature changes.
- Be aware of both the temperature and the heat index. The heat index is the temperature the body feels when the effects of heat and humidity are combined. Exposure to direct sunlight can increase the heat index by as much as 15° F.
- Discuss heat safety precautions with members of your household. Have a plan for wherever you spend time— home, work and school—and prepare for the possibility of power outages.
- Check the contents of your emergency disaster kit (bug out bag) in case a power outage occurs.
- Know those in your neighborhood who are elderly, young, sick or overweight. They are more likely to become victims of excessive heat and may need help.
- If you do not have air conditioning, choose places you could go to for relief from the heat during the warmest part of the day (schools, libraries, theaters, malls).
- Be aware that people living in urban areas may be at greater risk from the effects of a prolonged heat wave than are people living in rural areas.
- Get trained in First Aid to learn how to treat heat-related emergencies.
- Ensure that your animals' needs for water and shade are met.
During a heatwave you can respond with the following actions:
- Listen to a NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) Weather Radio for critical updates from the National Weather Service (NWS).
- Never leave children or pets alone in enclosed vehicles.
- Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids even if you do not feel thirsty. Avoid drinks with caffeine or alcohol.
- Eat small meals and eat more often.
- Avoid extreme temperature changes.
- Wear loose-fitting, lightweight, light-colored clothing. Avoid dark colors because they absorb the sun's rays.
- Slow down, stay indoors and avoid strenuous exercise during the hottest part of the day.
- Postpone outdoor games and activities.
- Use a buddy system when working in excessive heat.
- Take frequent breaks if you must work outdoors.
- Check on family, friends and neighbors who do not have air conditioning, who spend much of their time alone or who are more likely to be affected by the heat.
- Check on your animals frequently to ensure that they are not suffering from the heat.

As of 2010, Canada had between 150,000 and 300,000 visible homeless, between 450,000 and 900,000 hidden homeless, 1.3 million households residing in substandard housing in need of major repairs, and 3.1 million households residing in unaffordable housing (requiring greater than a 30% share of income).
Help Elizabeth push the government to take immediate steps to ease the crisis of homelessness and housing affordability by creating a National Affordable Housing Program, and by reforming the tax system to provide tax benefits to rental investors for the construction, maintenance and upgrading of affordable rental housing.
Sign below or download this petition, have as many people as possible to sign it, and mail it – postage free – to either her Ottawa or Sidney offices. With as few as 25 signatures, Elizabeth can present your petition to the government in the House of Commons.
1709 people have signed this petition. Add your voice to the growing number of Canadians speaking out about this issue.
We call on the Government of Canada to, in accordance with the Plan on Housing and Homelessness created by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, take immediate steps to ease the crisis of homelessness and housing affordability by creating a National Affordable Housing Program, and by reforming the tax system to provide tax benefits to rental investors for the construction, maintenance and upgrading of affordable rental housing; and to consider all measures that would maximize the affordability of market rental housing.
It's scandalous that Canadian society has allowed so many people to become homeless. We need to care for the less able and fortunate; it is in our own best interests to do so. Affordable housing need not cost a fortune and stable housing has been shown to reduce crime, reduce the burden on healthcare and manage mental health issues.
there are ways to build low cost housing so inexpensively but without government intervention, I can, especially for seniors, please ask me how as we are building our prototype in Oshawa
I think it's great to come up with a solution to homelessness but I do believe that it's unfair that they create low income housing in areas where it can devalue surround properties/areas. Vancouver is a very desirable location to reside (prime real estate) and a lot of people work very hard in order to live there. I don't think it's fair that the government build new low income housing in Vancouver. We already have enough locations for that within Vancouver. I think they should start building low income housing further out (Mission/Chilliwack etc.) As more people are being pushed to live further away from Vancouver due to housing prices it doesn't make sense that low income/homeless citizens get a piece of prime real estate while other non low income/non-homeless citizens are forced to move further out.
So only rich people are good enough for Greater Vancouver? Maybe you should be checking out the Conservatives web site instead…
PS Working single parents, seniors, people with disabilities and mental health disorders make up much of the low income rental market. And none of those types should even be able to walk the streets of precious Kerrisdale or Point Grey, now should they?
And on another note, while your Lower Mainland is mecca right now, if and when peak oil/peak resources/food shortages/sea level rises happen, it's going to be one of the last places on earth you're going to want to be. Don't believe me? Do some research. You'll see.
Property values, particularly low density properties, are largely a reflection of what the optimal size of building which can be constructed on the site, given government intervention through zoning, development charges, property taxes and land transfer taxes. The more profitable it is to build upward rather than outward through changes to government intervention, the higher the property values.
You pompous ass… how the hell do you think the prices got so high.. Off the backs of those so called homeless people thats how.. They once had houses just like you only they might have lost their jobs or gotten sick or had some bad luck and lost it. People like you should be banned from commenting on things you know nothing about unless you start having some compassion for those that have nothing. Even the homeless has to work so why the hell do you want them way out in Chilliwack if they get a job in downtown Vancouver.. So they can take the bus and you get to walk? How pathetic you are..
Charlene: You sound like one of the greedy…they have to devalue the properties because the inflation is otherwise manipulated to a too-high level due to the demand of the already wealthy who are greedy for more. The 'supply & demand' economy created also by the rich as they could foresee and forecast the future through it, leaving the rest of us middle and low income'ers behind eating their dust is the result, to the extent that even with jobs that are underpaid in this inflated society, homelessness is the outcome. Those who were homeless due to illness prior to this are even worse off now if you can imagine it. Government is here to serve and care for the people and not just live handsomely off of them.
If you are low income how do you get around for work etc. if you are sent away? No access to transit etc. Are you a CON troll?
Thank you for making these Petitions available to sign online. It helps those of us who cannot get out to make our voices heard. Good on you, Elizabeth, keep your head straight and you'll make it to the top!
I hope that something can be done for the Homelessness.More affordable Housing is needed. And better training to obtain more jobs. But then again, we need the jobs when we are finished with our education and training. I am on Disability Pension, and I have subsidized housing so I am fortunate. I went on Disability Pension, in 1992, I started doing volunteer work in 1993. I am still volunteering in 2012. I hope that some answers come about for more jobs and affordable housing. Thank-You Elizabeth May.
I sure hope they can find a solution for this very horrible problem. No one should be without shelter EVER!
done !!!
Stopping the mixed message about homelessness should be on the list too. Most people in homes figure homelesness is created out of shere lazyness and lack motivation. 2/3 of homeless people are there because the system failed them. When I lived in Calgaryfrom 2000/2005 there was a family living in a tent by the Bow river and the reason the did this was to rent out there house while they camped out for the summer months because both parents anual income would not support there home and family and the problem has only gotten worse for this family 8 years later I am sure. Cost of living increase without wage increase has put many families on the street. Another big portion of the homeless are the mentaly incapable part of our society that are homeless since they closed down the mental intitutions nationally years ago and these people ended up either in jail or homeless on the streets while a very small portion ended up capable to live on there own. Our politicians and the leaders in charge let this happen because greedy bankers can't profit way into the future off of people whom not are in debt. So I believe someones successes in this country have put a few people on the streets too, that is why people were protesting at occupy. Our leaders created 2/3 of homelessness out of there shere love of profit and money which is way more important then human lives to them until, there ass is on the line, then there will be change! Taxes are paid to cover this and where is my tax dollars going if it is not to cover the social aspects of our society, but in the end is paid to some fat rats pension that can afford it, because homelessness put a roof over there heads!!!
Dear Jon Lutjen, My father earned a high income for about 1/3 of his working life. He died at age 53 penniless in a small apt. because the multinational corporation he worked for didn't need him anymore and dumped him with no pension or termination paycheque despite the millions he made for them -so he sued them. His bank-accounts were immediately frozen as security to cover any court losses -which money no one ever saw again. He filed 19 lawsuits in all and did not live to see the end of them. During his wealthy years he paid phenomenally high taxes because he was honest and naïve. He got nothing for his efforts. This was in Quebec btw…need I say more? His yearly taxes could have fed hundreds of people but instead it went to a greedy well pensioned government that wound up not even having to pay-out his CPP – not even to heirs since it is not inheritable.
Mind you, the greedy shaft each-other too if that's any consolation. PMO Harper is a good example of that. What a smarmy way to govern a country.
I've been rent all my adult life . I'm 50 now and still can't afford to get the down payment but gee i've been paying on rent now for 35 years. I would like to see more rent to own be made more avable.
I live in one of the richest cities in Canada and we have so many working homeless that it's disgusting. Children go to school with empty lunch bags only to come home to a homeless shelter or community group living on abandoned buses. It's shameful how we treat those in our community. Everyone deserves a roof over their head and anyone who is willing to work should not be punished because they aren't a millionaire We need to take care of each other. I want my taxes put back into my community.
long overdue, this country needs to develop a conscience and a heart. thankyou greens for suggesting this excellent idea.
Its time for the Government to held accountable for the hardships of people living below the poverty line.
Homelessness is a consequence of the untaxed greed of a few.
Homelessness and affordable housing are largely a municipal, and to a lesser extent, provincial responsibility, due to the extent to which governments intervene in land use, through height and minimum setback restrictions, segregation of residential and commercial use of land, minimum automobile parking requirements, development charges being too low for low density and too high for infill, basing property taxes on the value of land and building rather than land alone, apartment property taxes being higher than residential property taxes and land transfer taxes, which cumulatively make it more profitable for build outward rather than upward. Danny Handelman
I am getting older and can no longer maintain my home but have no place to go. So either I pay rent or am homeless.. How can I live on very little money compared to the cost of living . I can't even find a job at my age of 58.
Measures to address myths about the causes of homelessness would go a long way in shifting public opinion, and in turn political will. We've gone too long allowing ourselves to believe that poverty is caused by laziness or that it's somehow deserved.
This is so long overdue!
It benefits all of society to eliminate homelessness. It is something that can and should be done. Unfortunately, we seem to be coming,more and more, a society that just doesn't care about those that don't fit in well or find life a bit of a struggle. I hope this works.
I've lived in a co-op for over 23 years…..what a blessing that I wish was an option for anyone who needs it.
Now that all the government funding for co-ops has been discontinued, many, perhaps most, of the co-ops will have to revert to using "market" rates for occupancy because they will need to apply to regular commercial banks for loans for upkeep and maintenance which subsidized co-op rental rates would not be enough for. So, once again the neo-cons in this government (and those neo-cons in opposition – Libs and NDPers – who are wanting to form the next government) are destroying (with their ridiculous "balanced budget" nonsense) one of the very few viable options for those living on the edge.
There are so many layers of society that need affordable housing. As a senior on a fixed income, just above the poverty line, the horrendous rent increases for 500 sq ft and the continuous rise in the cost of living will soon squeeze me out of my community in which I have lived for so long and go where? The SAFER program has not increased their ceiling of $700/mo since 2005! Good luck trying to find a safe and decent place to live for $700/mo anywhere. When you apply to "Affordable Housing" rest assured you might not live long enough to get a place! So this means that within the next four months I must move far, far out of Vancouver where I am totally isolated from the support of family, friends and community?
Dear Desperate:
I am in your situation financially and feel for you. I purchased a tiny detached house in 1992 for $27,000. in a good neighborhood of Winnipeg, believing I was securing my future, giving myself a place to live, starting out as cheaply as possible with a fixer-upper and have been happily fixing ever since. Now it is worth about $135,000 -150,000 which is on the low end so that ALL proceeds of a sale would have to go to another home – in a tough neighborhood or I would have to live 2 hours away in some small town. There would be no surplus to have as a safety net. Due to soaring utility costs, property tax costs, insurance costs, food costs etc…I am living hand to mouth and see my future as being the same as your own – pushed out of my house because of the greedy politicians, Real-estate Boards and the uncaring rich developers. What we need to do is find a way to start up a commune of seniors, or together purchase older motels with kitchenettes by pooling resources. You have International Communes in Vancouver. Google them and see if they would offer you anything to look forward to. There is one outside of Winnipeg where the occasional hovel (but cute) comes up for sale at about $2500.00 (that's 25 hundred ). I am going to check into it more – like how close is the nearest hospital? Keep your chin up. You will find others in your situation wherever you have to go.
There will be a lot more people put on this list when the seniors mostly single) who are living in an apt. that is the best deal in Guelph have to move out because it is no longer affordable. These particular seniors are still well enough to live on their own but cannot afford to live in a condo, which is all that is being built these days. These people will need to move into a Senior Apt. Bldg. which is geared to income. These types of apts. are very scarce and the ones that exist are filled to capacity with very long waiting lists. It seems that these types of Seniors Apts. have not been built since 1968 at least not very many that I know of. Something has to be done about this
before it is too late for us, as I wouold be one of these seniors.
The seniors buildings that are new in the last 10 years in Winnipeg are charging upwards of $1000 per month rent. Older seniors apts are around $600 but with a 5 year waiting list with wheelchair applicants being first served. Who will build at the present-day cost of living? no one. The Real Estate Boards in the different provinces have to stop pushing the values up. They are manipulating to ensure higher incomes for agents and sellers. There are many new infill homes being built in established areas on narrow, cheap lots by the already rich, then sold at a whopping $300,000 price tag. I have considered selling my small house but there would not be enough money for me to live elsewhere.
I love Elizabeth May– keep leading– keep sharing– keep asking for our support because we are there for you girl!
THIS IS URGENT, ELIZABETH, AND YOU & YOUR TEAM SEEM TO BE THE ONLY ONES IN GOV'T WHO WANT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. There are many peoplemy age who have to live on very little money, mostly senior women. They did work all their lives at the only jobs they could get because we couldn't afford
to go to University. They did not get a pension, nor a severance when they had
to retire at 65 years of age. They barely got a thank you. Now there aren't enough Senior Citizen Apts. based on income to accommodate all these people.
Why did the gov't quit building these facilities? The last ones, to my understanding. were built in 1968. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THIS TYPE OF HOUSING BEGIN AGAIN. THESE PEOPLE CANNOT EVEN AFFORD CONDOS THAT ARE BASED ON INCOME. Please give these seniors and others experiencing hard times due tojob loss, injury or illness a means to live with
dignity. Then the next topic I want to talk about is how so masny people need to be allowed to die with dignity and not live year after year not even being able to feed
themselves, What's the point in living like this????
Affordable Housing is one of the Maslow hierarchy of needs. As Canadians, aren't we suppose to help provide for the fundamental needs of people? Doesn't secured housing, and employment, provide eventual benefits to a person's health? Looks like you have the formula right there. Act on it.
I live in a very affluent area of Vancouver Island. Rents are high. To buy anything, apartment, TH, mobile even, is unattainable. What is left is coops and low rental housing but the wait list is long. This scenario breaks up families.
I don't know about homelessness but having to pay more than 80 percent of your full time job pay to have a one bedroom apartment that is not even maintained properly is very hard to understand. Especially if you are a one person household or a single mother. I believe that there should be some law where the landlords are given credit if they have the rent geared towards their tenant's salaries and help people stay out of the streets.
I'm all for this, while we are at it we need to prevent landlords from increasing rent on apartments where they don't supply proper maintenance or support.
Thanks to the Green Party for highlighting this issue. Giving people adequate and affordable housing is an essential part of any civil society, but this has been eroded through decades of rising prices combined with almost non-stop job cuts. This is especially true in higher-paying jobs such as the professions, many of which have essentially collapsed. Getting an education or training is no longer even remotely a guarantee of being more than a paycheque or two away from being on the street. Affordable housing in every neighbourhood across Canada would provide at least some security for people who are struggling to survive.
Technology is now available for anyone to have a Affordable, Super Insulated, Passive, Net Zero Energy Home, what are we waiting for??
A lot of people on the streets are also due to mental health issues that are not addressed. The current laws work against getting them help as the bar is so high that abhorrent behavior or being a danger to themselves or others (even though not imminent) does not qualify. Family members get no assistance when trying to advocate on those with issues's behalf. Bloody shell game going on!
To the people who claim to be able to fix this homeless situation…why do we not know about you? and why aren't you fixing it then?
I have been on the Low Housing Victoria waitlist for 4 long years. I needed it when I left an abusive relationship with my son and $73.00. I pay rent that is 3/4 of my Disability income. Now my son has reached 19yrs so we are out of the running for housing. I did not choose to be disabled and not work. Yet I am treated like a non person. There is no non-profit organization that can help us. Next year by July 1, 2015 my son will no longer be a student. This means my income decreases by 1/2. I will no longer be able to pay the rent here. Moving costs money I also do not have. The ongoing stress of knowing that I have less than a year of living underneath a safe, clean roof, has caused my already existing health issues to become exacerbated to the point that my health is now in crisis. There is no one who cares or is willing to fight for me. I am desperate for affordable housing. Yes, I would LOVE to move out of expensive Victoria. But again, its money needed to do this. All my money goes to basic survival. I would be better off is I was a criminal. I would then be housed, fed 3 whole times a day (wow), have dental and medical coverage and even access to a Lawyer so I could fight my ex for what he owes us. These are the choices I am facing and do not any longer know what to do. This is the face of poverty due to no fault of my own.
Take Me As I Am
Find me. Here in the back alley
Where I've managed my way slovenly.
Where the rainfall, like a crude oil spill,
Has made the pavement a reflection
Of what the world has quartered here:
All those unsightly imperfections.
Where, like some worn out over-coat,
Pipes and wires have thread up the walls,
Multi-coloured like a patchwork
Of different types of materials.
Where waste bins inhale for comfort
Yesterday's news freely surrendered
By those suspicious souls hustling
Through sunken doors not named or numbered.
Where the vents will exhale and hum
Their smell of cheap perfume-like breath. Yet
No one will ever dance with them
(At least not here). As though against it.
Where the stairs keep their legs curled up
From being grasped at violently:
Though free from rust, it belongs here
As the main star of the back alley
Above me. While I wait for you
Among others that wait for rescue.
I worked with Toronto homeless for many years. They do NOT want to be on the streets. It is a national shame how we treat the homeless. I started the Seaton House Annex program and we found that it was very easy to get men off the streets, just treat them like they matter. Non-judgemental and caring works wonders.
I am on disability. I have chronic PTSD. I am dealing with a very difficult situation at the moment that is tied to family and I will not turn to them for assistance. Because of them I just found out my housing situation is ending soon. I am afraid. Am I staring homelessness in the face now? Is this it? I could make $500/month rent work for me and my wonderful dog with a part time job, but god help me if my health changes and I can't work for a few weeks. I would apply for COOP housing but I can't wait 3 years to get in. Would I qualify for a housing subsidy? Will I find a clean quiet home that allows a big dog who btw IS my family? The last time I looked for rentals in Victoria I accessed 2% of the market due to my pet family. Most of the homes I looked at I would not let my dog live in, and the ones we did get I had to move out because of bugs/rats, mold, noise and security issues. I moved 5 times in a year and a half. For example, in one place I came home after work to find my dog lying on her bed in the middle of a lake in my bedroom, scared, water streaming from the ceiling. After finding a rat in my toilette and tired of the silver fish that fell on me from the upper level – we moved, again! South Vancouver Island rentals are the worst and Vancouver is unreachable for me now. I am going to have to fight very hard again to find a good home, and I am not going to have the luxury of time. Find a home, then a job, or find a job then a home? Either way I am scared. I worked since I was 11 years old, and I worked very hard! I never thought my life would end up like this.
I have faith in you Elizabeth May and your time is now…
I've been a targeted individual since 1980 when montreal police sold and entrapped me with blank false baptism certificates to begin a criminal career at 19 or 20 yrs. of age , and monitor the false names , also used for global underworld false identities for every crime in the book …. Been tracked and monitored like an animal all my life.In 2006 I inherited $42,531.19 cents from my father ManuLife insurance and tried leaving montreal to settle in Hawkesbury,the montreal corrupt police followed and through their mob and political connections were given support by the Ontario Provincial Police(O.P.P.) to remove me any way they could and have me returned to montreal…. they first arranged a meeting with me at their local bar with the presence of the corrupt montreal police,and ordered me to leave and return to where I came from,and I refused.Within 3 months I was in jail on false charges and while behind bars all my belongings,including my newly purchased van were slolen.
I returned to montreal where I became homeless for many years off and on and relocated to Gatineau a time later.
I began speaking of what these corrupt police have been doing to me in Montreal and later in Gatineau,then again they set me up by sending antagonists to harass me and provoking me ,only once I retaliated after two of their controlled delinquents had screamed next to me while I worked on my computer making my music and a fight broke out.Then the corrupt homeless shelter along with their corrupt health institution had asked for a civil judge in a secret hearing with false allegations and testimony to have me psychologically examined by warrant…… of course the policeman from montreal who was part of the corrupt police-mob who sold the blank baptism certificates 35 yrs ago was THERE!
My story demonstrates how being homeless facilitates the work of corruption by mafia and their corrupt police as in the case of montreal-Commission Charbonneau!
The high cost of housing is just another Symptom of a market economy gone mad; it doesn't even make any sense to regulate business. Whether it is real estate or oil and gas or tobacco – industry and business just has so much influence in politics – they really do OWN politicians once they donate money to them and once they are allowed to have preferential access to politicians, lobbying and on committees – and they just get politicians to remove (or emasculate by underfunding) all the regulations which would hold them in check and make them accountable because business does not want to be accountable and does not want any checks on its ability to make more and more money. The only way I can see to stop this is to completely remove essentials like housing and food and water and air and healthcare from the market economy altogether. Let the market deal with the non-essentials, maybe for things like baubles and make-up and jewellry maybe but all non-essentials have to be removed from the realm of profit in order to have any chance of making these essentials accessible and affordable for all.
I believe people have a right to live in communities and be safe. There should be a government office to apply your character to an advisor to set you up with a home or shared home to your needs. Money is nothing, dreams and community build empires that never crumble. No or little rent is needed, the rent collected goes according to scale for hydro etc. the rest all goes to upgrading the home. The longer and the more "rent" applied the more upgrades. Example pay rent for a year at 500$ a month. Get 6000$ towards house supplies upgrades to the home warranted and applied for at the same office. This system for every first person with a place to live can make it unique and left for someone else to live in to keep dreaming. No one needs to own life or living. Life lives and living is the experience. With technology and high robot performance, servitude hours will be reduced phenomenally.
I have a vision of Vancouver Island BC being its own government and borders by belief in life and sharing of resources with out the cost of 40+ years of full time servitude.
Too many people do not get enough income to pay for even the available substandard housing that is available. Further rent assistance and really, new housing is needed. It would put our skilled trades back to work and would be a great teaching site for limited numbers of good labourers who need a skilled trade to get them into a higher wage bracket. We need affordable housing that is good and sooner than now (rather than sooner than later). Giving federal monies to provinces must come with evidence of proactive movement. Giving money without strings attached isn't working. Can we make "green" housing funding available directly to builders without letting it disappear into the general fund of the provinces? We need proof the money is getting where we want it to go.
I am 65 and yeah I know that sounds to a lot of people like some old gizer… But the problem is I am still working all the time and will be for at least another 1/2 dozen years. One problem is all the years I worked in the forest industry IWA ripped off my pension $ so I would only get $800 month from CPP. Be nice if I could live on that…
I could go on about a dozen other things…

An eye for an eye: Iranian court orders man to lose an eye and an ear after acid attack on student, 22, outside college
30th December 2010
A court in Iran has ordered a man to lose an eye and an ear as punishment for blinding another man and burning his ear in an acid attack.
The accused, identified only as Hamid, was also ordered to pay blood money after he was found guilty of the attack five years ago.
Hamid claimed he had mistaken his victim – identified only as Davoud – for a former classmate who had bullied him at college, reports Iran's semi-official Fars news agency.
'In college, some of the classmates bullied me so much that we had to move from the city I was living in to another one. This was carved in my mind and I couldn't get over it,' he said, according to Fars.
'I bought acid and went back to my former college and waited for some of the classmates to come out. When he [Davoud] came out, I followed him and threw acid on him and I also injured my own legs by doing so.'
Victim Davoud was 22 at the time of the attack and denied ever meeting Hamid - and he claimed that the two-year age gap between them meant they could never have been in the same class.
In Iran citizens are supposed to obey Sharia law, a penal code that hands out what are perceived to be harsh punishments by Western culture for crimes, transgressions, curtailing civil rights, and violating human rights.
The eye-for-an-eye, or tooth-for-a-tooth, punishment is legal under the Sharia code of gisas, which allow retribution for violent crimes – hence why there are a number of public hangings for alleged murderers.
In November 2008 Majid Movahedi was sentenced to lose both eyes in a similar case, having been found guilty of throwing acid at Ameneh Bahramia, a woman who refused to marry him.
It is unclear whether the sentence has yet been carried out.
In October, however, Iranian authorities chopped off the hand of a convicted thief at a prison in the central city of Yazd.
In recent weeks Iran has been criticised for sentencing Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, 43, to be stoned to death for adultery.
She has so far escaped the sentence because of the international outcry surrounding her case.
Iran has executed at least 200 people in the past 10 months, according the human rights website rahana.org

The Mall Cowl
This pattern is available as a free Ravelry download
While my Mom and I were holiday shopping at a local upscale mall, we stumbled across this fabulous shaped cowl. My mother grabbed it right up, then dropped it like a hot coal after seeing the price tag – over $150!
I went right home and found a warm looking stitch to use in making my own version of that cowl we saw. The garment is fitted to the neck, then pools out over the shoulders to keep you warm and snug under a winter coat.
This cowl is knit in the round, inside out, using combinations of purl stitches.
Also, I am in the process of test knitting a matching HAT - I will also offer this as a free download!
