JOHN, B.C. ANY RESEMBLANCE TO, OR DEPICTION OF ACTUAL EVENTS IS UNINTENTIONAL. NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED IN THE MAKING OF THIS SIMULATION, THOUGH THE MALAT CLASS OF 2010 MAY HAVE LEARNED A LOT OF THEORY.

// Allison: Attention everyone. Good afternoon! My name is Bertha Strong, and I am the city manager here in Fort St. John. On behalf of the city of Fort St. John, I would like to welcome everyone to the Emergency Health-Care Planning Conference hosted by the city of Fort St. John. We are all here to address the need for pandemic preparation, and to that end, we welcome the Provincial Working Group. They are here today to work with us, the municipalities of Northeast British Columbia. We understand that all of you are pressed for time, due to the nature of your jobs. And so we commit to finishing this presentation on time in an effort to address the urgency of a possible future pandemic. A few housekeeping points prior to our opening statements: // // · The bathrooms are located to the right of the stairs. // // · The Wine and Cheese has been moved up to 4pm to accommodate those who have hotel rooms some distance away. //

// I would now like to call upon the mayor of Fort St. John, Bruce Lance, to deliver the opening remarks. //

// Jeff (MAYOR): Good afternoon everyone, and welcome to our beautiful city. Today we are faced with the need to address the growing concerns pertaining to new and emerging epidemics. If you take a look at our agenda for this afternoon, it outlines what we would like to accomplish in regards to the creation of a course to deal with pandemic preparation. //

// But before we begin to dig into the theories behind course design, I’d like to take a few minutes to take a look at our specific background in this beautiful city… //

Allison: And that ends our first afternoon of work. A big thank you to everyone for their participation. Our findings here will be forwarded to Canada's Public Health Agency as we continue to work with the province of British Columbia and the government of Canada in an effort to make our disaster and pandemic preparation as translucent as possible. To that end, we would like to quickly take an opportunity to present a certificate of honourary pandemic preparedeness to two special people here with us today. I'd like to call on Bill Muirhead and Judith Blanchette to accept these certificates, presented by the mayor of Fort St. John.

The wine and cheese will be starting in about ten minutes in the downstairs meeting hall. Please mingle and enjoy yourself, but keep in mind that we are public officials. So, pictures cannot wind up on Facebook or YouTube. I think we all remember what happened to Mayor Sanders of Tumbler Ridge after the Tumbler Ridge Christmas Party last year. He is reported to be enjoying his new life in Mexico, but it was a little embarassing, I think we all can agree.
