Victims
awarded
funds

A TOTAL of 154 Criminal! Injury
Compensation Act (CICA)
awards, including two for North
Shore related incidents, were an-
nounced in September.

Twenty-nine CICA applications
were disallowed.

A 35-year-old North Vancouver
man was attacked and punched
twice in the face by a male
assailant in a bar. He suffered
dental damage and facial contu-
sions. He was awarded $1,363.

A $2,806 award was given to the
brother of a fatally injured crime
victim for funeral and burial ex-
penises incurred as a result of his
sister’s death.

The 27-year-old female victim
was discovered in a shallow grave
on Mount Seymour.

Under CICA, anyene who is a
victim of a crime in B.C. may app-
ly. for and receive compensation,
bring an action against a person or
persons or do both.

Application forms are available
at any office of the Workers’
Compensation Board, which ad-
ministers the act.

The money to pay criminal inju-
ry compensation comes from the
consolidated revenue fund of B.C.
through the Ministry of the At-
torney General.

When the victim decides not to
bring an action then, upon pay-
ment of compensation, the board
is entitled to sue the party or par-
ties responsible for the victim’s in-

jury.

The CICA gives the board
authority to pay compensation in
cases where there has been no
criminal conviction or prosecution,
although the claimant is obliged to
report the incident to the police as
soon as possible.

Flood piain
proposals
unveiled

A NEW set of policies to guide
development in flood-prone areas
across British Columbia was an-
nounced recently by Environment
and Parks Minister Bruce
Strachan. -

“Under this system, flood pro-
ofing will kecume an integral part
of ti municipal planning and
business decision processes at the
community level,’’ Strachan said.
“The intent of these policies is to
provide a reasonable process for
ensuring that British Columbians
are aware of flood hazards, and
for minimizing loss of life, proper-
ty damage and disruption from
floods.”

The policies set standards for
building construction on flood
plains, with the strictest require-
ments applying to residential
buildings and areas without dyke
protection.

Municipalities in most areas will
also be able to develop flood plain
management plans which permit
modifications to flood-proofing
levels, subject to certain limits and
approval by the minister.

Once a plan has been approved,
local authorities will assume re-
sponsibility for subdivision ap-
provals in the flood-plain area,
and the plan will be the means
whereby the public is notified that
a flood hazard exists.
