Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
3rd Session
42nd Parliament
A
Member
for
vancouver
kendington.
Thank
you
very
much
honourable
speaker.
Nidis.
The
personal
planning
resource
center
and
registry
was
established
in
1995
to
be
a
resource
for
information
and
assistance
with
representation
agreements
which
are
a
unique
legal
document
for
personal
planning
and
with
the
kovid
19
pandemic.
This
is
something
that's
really
become.
A
top
of
mind
for
british
columbians
and
personal
planning
is
something
that
we
can
undertake
during
our
lifetime.
While
we're
alive.
A
Many
of
us
will
be
familiar
with
estate
planning,
which
happens
after
we
die,
but
personal
planning
and
particularly
representation
agreements,
have
to
do
with
dealing
with
questions.
A
If
we're
hospitalized
who's
going
to
pay
our
bills
who's
going
to
make
those
decisions
and
who
has
the
legal
authority
and
so
representation
agreements,
are
a
legal
document
in
bc
for
appointing
someone
to
make
those
types
of
decisions
and
nidus
is
the
only
community
based
organization
in
canada,
devoted
to
personal
planning
and
supporting
our
aging
population
and
also
people
with
disabilities,
and
it
covers
areas
of
health
care,
personal
care,
legal
affairs
and
financial
affairs
nidus
as
well
has
a
very
unique
e-registry
where
folks
can
register
their
documents,
and
particularly
during
these
challenges
of
climate
change
and
fires
and
emergencies.
A
It's
really
an
incredible
resource.
Nidis
is
was
founded
by
the
alzheimer's
society
of
bc,
the
bc
association
for
community
living
bc,
coalition
of
peoples
with
disabilities,
the
council
of
senior
citizens,
organizations
of
bc,
and
they
inspired
as
well
article
12
of
the
united
nations
convention
on
the
rights
of
persons
with
disabilities.
A
I'd
like
to
recognize
the
board,
the
president
arlene
shouted
the
vice
president
don
hemingway,
the
treasurer
shelley
le
cerf
members
at
large
ron,
usher
sandy,
tonica,
susan
talley,
valerie,
john
guerrero,
robin
humphries,
and
also
ask
everyone
to.
Please
join
me
to
thank
nidus
for
their
dedication
for
upholding
the
rights
for
self-determination
for
all
british
columbians,
and
I
know
they
would
urge
all
of
us
here
in
the
house
and
all
british
columbians
to
take
the
time
to
fill
out
a
a
representation
agreement
for
all
of
us.
