The British Columbia Legislative Internship Program was established in January 1976, patterned after the Parliamentary Internship Program introduced in the Canadian House of Commons in 1969.

The program continues to be advised by the University of British Columbia, Simon Fraser University, the University of Victoria and the University of Northern British Columbia.

The program is open to B.C. residents who have a recent Bachelor's Degree from a Canadian University.

I'd like to express my appreciation for you people who are taking the time to post in this thread.

Eight years ago, the industry I was working in went belly-up and I can tell you that when it comes to trying to find a new livelihood, every source of leads is both valuable and appreciated.

Between ex (as opposed to retired) military types and various civilians who may peruse this site, you never know who might benefit from the information posted here. Especially considering the hammering that the oil patch is taking right now.

I know first-hand how much it sucks having to pull up stakes and start over again at the bottom. It sucks even worse to have nowhere to go, so thanks again and please do keep it up.

A volunteer position but good training and contacts:

North Shore Rescue is looking for some new blood to join the team. The volunteer group is accepting applications for potential new members until Friday, Jan. 8.

“Just through attrition, we’re starting to see a bit of turnover now so we’re really looking for a new injection of keen volunteers. To put it really simply: people who are willing to crash around in the bush and be ground-pounders. That’s what we need,” said Mike Danks, North Shore Rescue team leader. “There’s a lot of camaraderie on the team. It kind of becomes a way of life when you’ve been on the team for five years-plus,” he said. No bones about it, committing to the team requires a lot of time and flexibility in order to be present for training and rescue calls, which have a habit of coming in at the most inopportune times and lasting for hours or days, Danks said. But saving lives has a way of being addictive, Danks added. “When I first started, I was just so incredibly keen and excited when the pager went off in those days. It’s like the hunt is on, trying to find the person in need,” he said. The ideal new member is someone who not just knows the trails but is also a model hiker – someone who carries a first-aid kit and extra equipment to be able to help another hiker in need. You still get to recreate in the North Shore Mountains, Danks said, you’re just more likely to be helping carry someone on your way back out. Applications can be made through northshorerescue.com. - See more at: http://www.nsnews.com/news/north-shore-rescue-seeks-new-volunteers-1.2144044#sthash.T8pj4nE7.26G2vfkO.dpuf

MISSISSAUGA, Ontario, Feb. 10, 2016 /CNW/ -- Signarama Canada is excited to announce the launch of Opportunities for Veterans, a program that offers an established turnkey business opportunity that truly recognizes military personnel for their years of service.

In addition, for every veteran who opens a Signarama franchise, the company plans to donate $5,000 towards military initiatives, and is actively reviewing opportunities within the military community to make a difference.

"We're doing this for many reasons," Al Aroud says. "The main reason, quite honestly, is that Canada has been extremely supportive of our cause in Syria. We're from Syria (originally), and we feel like it's a way of showing veterans that we care for what they have done, and here's a way for us to help and give back if we can."

Benefits of owning a Signarama Franchise include no evenings or weekends, low staffing requirements, 70% of business is serving local businesses in your community, no experience in the sign business required, great margins, mentorship for up to one year with an experienced owner and you get to be part of a proven business that has been operating for 28 years!

The application deadline is June 1, 2016. To participate you must be or be qualified to be an honourably discharged Canadian Military Veteran, and you must submit a short (500 words or less) profile, outlining your experience and service within the Canadian Forces.
