We are thankful for occupiers insurance that covers people for liability when renting a meeting room.

The following are some of the criteria used to determine whether or not the appropriate standard of care was applied:

Key PointKey Point
Keeping your premises safe and free from hazards by carefully inspecting and maintaining them is one of the best ways to prevent losses.
  • Whether the danger was foreseeable.
  • Whether the occupier’s conduct was in accordance with acceptable standards of practice.
  • Whether there was an adequate system of inspection (considering the risks involved) in place and carried out.
  • Whether the danger was allowed to exist for an unreasonable amount of time.
  • The ease with which the danger could have been prevented. ( source the Insurance Bureau of Canada website)

Here also is a list of hazards you should also keep records and all necessary supply to accommodate them.( and a first aid kit):

Aids virus officially

encouragement or social engineering

recognized.

There are a few young women about here that have these wholesome multiple child carriages with large wheels. Often seen running with one or more riders and a dog on a tow an obvious good example in a zero population growth economy.Can”t argue their value in the macro scene ,micro scene choice remains in part due to discrimination laws. We wish them luck in their aspirations and to any one else that has life goals and ideals that are different and still fall in the realm of:

( social norms) and those that push that envelope with out public endangerment.

Medals for cadets.


This young man is a proud member of the Rocky Mountain Rangers 950 Merritt Cadet corps it has 23 young people of this community of 7080 souls including five Sargents as he is, The cadet is 17 years of age. When I was one the range was 13 before Jan 1 of the enrollment year to 18. I doubt if its changed. When I spoke to him he was agreeable that the goal was to make better citizens of people not soldiers. When I said I had two honorable release certificates form the primary reserves he agreed that they were different roles for cadets than from the sponsoring regiments.
The real public interest in this interview is the three medals he wears all for excellence and service including one remembering Lord Strathcona, the said driver of the last spike making the country whole from sea to sea, as our motto goes.That by a promised rail link to British Columbia. The medal maybe a little much for a 13-year-old,and perhaps not for a 17-year-old however its hard to argue the sentiment.
If a person said that it is too much for an infant ( a person under majority age) would he be also saying that being assertive in the economy is only for tokens as well. Would it limit those who dream of a better life by economy to wait for it to come from the top down and not pursue free associations and free markets to thrive. The easy answer is probably the one that those that would cook this want. Tell him he’s to young and then he will resent you and be more dependant on them. It always comes around again.
Lots of third year apprentices out there that never make journymen and no simple answers in life.

They are a feature of the legacy square in downtown Merritt I wonder if the feudal Chinese had problems with graphitte, I think not. There is little as a maned both close to the square is occupied by people well thought of ,however it must not completely carry through the night as this felt marker wielder must believe.
