Report from the Chairman and President

. The Justice Institute of British

The following quote~ from the report reflect well
on the.work and dedication of our faculty, staff, administration, Board a1Jii client groups. They emphasize the
quality, flexibility and cost-effectiveness ofthe
Justice Institute's programs and services.

Columbia entered the 1990.:.91 fiscal year.
with a new five-year Strategic Plan, an eagerness
to relocate to a new purpose-built facility, and a

• The JIBC has a unique, cost effective and efficient
· teach_ing model. : .

continued commitment to quality, flexibility, and

• The JIBC has been lauded nationally and
interationally for its high
professional standards.

cost effectiveness.·
During th~ year, JI staff
developed and delivered approximately 900 courses, workshops,
and conferences for over 30,000
registered students. All activities supported our mandate to
assist in "improving the quality
of justice and public safety by
developing and delivering
training programs and offering
educational services to professionals and the public."

•

-------·------~~-

• JIBC training is innovative, flexible and state-ofthe-art, which is necessary
for the technical, specialized
and often confidential
nature of programs.
• Since all instructors at
the JIBC are seconded or
contracted, training programs
can be adjusted quickly
to meet market demands.

· · The first year of our FiveYear Strategic Plan was
completed with 74 actions
addressed. At year end, the JI
Executive Committee reported
to the Board on our accomplishments and updated the Strategic
Plan. Goals and action plans for
year two are now in place.

• The integration of justice
and public safety training
has not only reduced cost ...
(it has) enhanced the effectiveness of program delivery.

The Board and staff actively pursued plans for a
new site and facility. In support of the Institute's.
initiative, the Ministry of Advanced Education,
Training and Technology undertook a study for ·
Cabinet "to review and confirm the role and training
·model of the Justice Institute." A report based on the
study accompanied a funding request for $33.7
million to relocate the JIBC. The report and funding
request were discussed and approved by cabinet in
December 1990.
·

• The JIBC has solicited
thousands of hours of volunteer "goodwill" at no cost to government. While this
is often overlooked, it has substantially helped to
reduce training costs.
• The JIBC has demonstrated that it is a leader
among post secondary institutions in becoming more
entrepreneurial and actively marketing its programs
and products.
The demands for our programs and services often
· exceed the resources and funds available to meet them,
but we will continue to.explore ways of expanding our
se.rvices and maximizing all of our existing resources.

Lawrence E. Goble
President

WJ:ile developing new recruits is important,
keeping exiMing paramedics updated is equally so. •
This year, as part of the Academy's continuing .
medical education program, paramedics helped
validate over 3000 questio~s for a new questio~ ·
bank. They also received a new emergency driving
program and a program of exefcises to help protect
them from b~ck injuries.

Othe; highlights for the 1990-91 fiscal year include:
• The Infant Transport
Team - paramedics who
transport sick and injured
children to B.C. Chil~ren',s Hospital - received
a new set of g~aduates in
1990-91. The program is
a model of co-operation ·
among the B.C. A~bu. ·''

'P -

The A.cademy's technical prog;ams prepare
paramedics to treat patients. This year, we began
to revise these ~ours~s in light of changes in the ·
field of paramedicine:' In September, we will
launch a f~ised Emergency Medic~f Assistant

Program celebrated its
first anniversary. Two
important events capped
the first year's success: the announcement that '- . _,
· · First Responders will be recognized under the
Health Emergencies ACt; and notification that the .
Worker's Compensation Board has granted the
program equivalency to the Board's Survival,
First Aid.
·· ·
This
year's
achievements were possible ..
.

because, of the enthusiasm and support shown for
training, not only by our major client, but by
