R.D.B. et al. 2018 BCPC 65 Date: 20180308 File No: 16037 Registry: Kamloops IN THE PROVINCIAL COURT OF BRITISH COLUMBIA IN THE MATTER OF THE FAMILY LAW ACT , S.B.C. 2011 c. 25 BETWEEN: E.V. and M.V. APPLICANTS AND: R.D.B., R.K.T., J.V. and T.A.J. RESPONDENTS REASONS FOR JUDGMENT OF THE HONOURABLE JUDGE S.D. FRAME Counsel for the Applicants: C. Caldwell Counsel for the Respondents, R.D.B. and R.K.T. J. de Whytell Place of Hearing: Kamloops , B.C. Date of Hearing: February 2, 2018 Date of Judgment: March 8, 2018

[ 1 ] These are competing applications by the grandparents of C.V., born [omitted for publication] to be appointed guardians with primary residence and parental responsibilities of the child. The application before me is an interim application complicated by the manner in which proceedings have been brought in two separate files. This matter is set for a five day trial on both files in July 2018 to determine the final issues before the court.

This interim application would have been entirely unnecessary if the guardians were communicating properly with each other and attending to C.V.’s considerable medical needs. Indeed, this application would be rendered entirely moot by the timing of it and the timing of the trial but for this lack of communication and the medical concerns arising. [ 2 ] E.V. and M.V. filed their application on November 13, 2015, naming R.D.B., R.K.T., J.V. and T.A.J. as Respondents.

T.A.J. is C.V.’s biological mother and J.V. is C.V.’s biological father. [ 3 ] R.D.B. and R.K.T. started their own proceeding against the biological parents only in August 2015 seeking guardianship of C.V. M.V. did not file a reply until July 2017, at which time he sought guardianship and parenting responsibilities. T.A.J. filed her reply in June 2017, ostensibly seeking to vary the guardianship agreement because she was able to resume full care. This is no longer the case. [ 4 ] R.D.B. and R.K.T. filed their own application on November 1, 2017, but did not name the V. grandparents as parties.

As a result, when the two files were consolidated, the matter proceeded under the one commenced by the V. [ 5 ] It does not appear that the parents filed a reply to R.D.B. and R.K.T.’s application. [ 6 ] An interim order was made on September 2, 2015 in the absence of the V. which appointed R.D.B. and R.K.T. interim guardians pending a proper filing of their Form 34 affidavit.

No further orders were made on that file. [ 7 ] On December 1, 2015, in the proceedings with all parties named, the V. grandparents were granted reasonable telephone, Skype or Facetime contact with C.V.; contact time with C.V. up to one week in Kamloops or Chase, as agreed between the parties; specified parenting time in Edmonton, Alberta in February 2016; specified contact time for J.V.; and setting the matter for a family case conference. It is unclear why J.V. was given contact time as opposed to parenting time.

There does not appear to be anything that removes him as a guardian. [ 8 ] The only other order in this proceeding was made November 1, 2017. The averments in that order confirm that T.A.J. and J.V. are the guardians of C.V.; that R.D.B. and R.K.T. have an ex-parte interim guardianship order; that contact time that had been ordered following a pre-trial conference in December 9, 2015; and that a subsequent agreement was made on March 23, 2016 with the parties agreeing to share guardianship and provide for contact time to the respective grandparents on a one-month rotation.

This agreement was not made an order. [ 9 ] Since that agreement, the respective grandparents have observed a one-month rotation of parenting time with C.V. [ 10 ] Matters came to a head in September 2017 when R.D.B. and R.K.T. enrolled C.V. in Kindergarten in British Columbia.

As a result, they did not arrange for C.V. to attend his one-month rotation with his paternal grandparents in Alberta. [ 11 ] Flowing from this action, the court ordered specific parenting time to the V., which took the grandparents to the hearing before me in February 2018. [ 12 ] R.D.B. filed a Form 34 affidavit specifying she was unaware of any incidents of family violence that affect the child, confirming she has not been involved in court proceedings concerning children under her care, and attaching the requisite security checks. The record check results for child protection produced no records.

The Protection Order Registry search produced no records. The Chase RCMP Detachment police information check was also negative for any records. [ 13 ] R.K.T. has not filed a Form 34 affidavit. This is a necessary prerequisite to him obtaining guardianship. Both he and R.D.B. have completed Parenting After Separation. T.A.J. has also completed Parenting After Separation. [ 14 ] Both of the V. grandparents have filed their Parenting After Separation Certificates and Form 34 affidavits.

E.V.’s Form 34 affidavit also confirms there are no incidents of family violence that affect the child; that she has not been involved in court proceedings concerning children under her care; and attaching the requisite record checks all of which show no hits under her name. [ 15 ] M.V.’s Form 34 affidavit also confirms he is not aware of any incidents of family violence; that he has not been involved in proceedings concerning children under his care; and attaching his requisite record checks which also show no responses of concern. [ 16 ] A number of affidavits were filed in these proceedings, including the affidavit of Wayne Christian who is the Chief of the band to which C.V. belongs.

In addition, he has played the role of an uncle to C.V. as honoured by Secwepmec law. He has known C.V. since 2014. C.V. has been involved in his culture since birth, participating in sun dances, sweat lodges, Yuwipii ceremonies, hunting, fishing, berry picking, medicine gathering, drumming and singing, family gatherings and celebrations. C.V. knows the Secwepmectsin language and culture. [ 17 ] Chief Christian spoke of how the Secwepmec culture is passed from generation to generation and the role that individuals play within the community as a result.

He also spoke of the impact on Secwepmec people he has witnessed after they have been dislocated from their traditional laws and spiritual teachings. He spoke of certain rights that C.V. is entitled to - which may be the case but are not determinative of the appropriate guardianship arrangement for C.V. on an interim basis. He also speaks of the need to protect the unique and distinct culture of the Secwepmec people. A child’s aboriginal heritage is an important factor to take into consideration when determining what is in his best interests. That must, however, be an issue to be left for the trial judge.

It is not an issue a judge should determine on an interim basis.

[ 18 ] There are also two affidavits of Marija Grasa sworn and filed on the same date but attaching different records of the same doctor. It is unclear why there are separate affidavits attaching the same records. With respect to the affidavit faxed at 3:05 p.m. on January 31, 2018 and marked by the Registry as Document #37, the first several pages are largely unintelligible medical records handwritten by - presumably - Dr. Galante. There is very little in those pages that is decipherable beyond the date, the occasional weight and height entry, and the occasional word.

These records have no evidentiary value other than confirming that the child may have been seen on these specific dates. If a party intends to rely upon medical records, they must either be legible or they must be attached to an affidavit of the doctor deciphering those records. [ 19 ] In any event, there are also some lab results attached to that affidavit. C.V. suffers from congenital athyrotic hypothyroidism and has to take synthroid daily to balance his thyroid levels. Records of his TSH, free T3 and free T4 tests were taken to show when he was and was not in range.

The purpose of attaching these records was to show that there is medication compliance while C.V. is with his V. grandparents in Alberta and not when he is with his maternal grandparents in British Columbia. This is the urgency claimed that results in this interim application. [ 20 ] The second affidavit faxed at 2:58 p.m. on January 31, 2018 and marked as Document #38 by our Registry also attaches blood records. Most alarmingly, C.V.’s TSH levels were quite high on arrival back in Alberta in December 2017 but well back in range by December 29, 2017. This affidavit also attaches a note from Dr.

Galante in any event which opines that there is poor compliance while C.V. is in British Columbia which may have long term consequences for optimal growth and development. This correspondence appears to have been sent to Dr. Van Leeve who evidently has C.V.’s care when he is in British Columbia. [ 21 ] Apart from the collateral affidavits, there are also affidavits received from the parties. In her affidavit filed March 1, 2016, E.V. deposed that she resides with her husband near their son, J.V. She said she and M.V. have been married for 30 years.

M.V. is a Class 1 truck driver and has been employed as one for over 20 years. E.V. has worked in various capacities since 2008 at the [omitted for publication] as a unit clerk and has had a part time position at [omitted for publication] for 19 years. [ 22 ] Upon learning that T.A.J. was pregnant with J.V.’s child, E.V. began taking T.A.J. to all of her prenatal doctor appointments. Both she and her husband were present for C.V.’s birth. [ 23 ] From birth until October 2014, C.V. resided with his parents in Edmonton.

However, C.V. would be placed in the V. grandparent care at the request of the parents throughout that time. When he was not in their care, E.V. saw C.V. two to three times a week and was very involved in his life. She and her husband helped out C.V.’s parents in many capacities. [ 24 ] When C.V. was five months old, he suffered a spiral fracture to his humerus. Because it was unclear how the injury occurred, C.V. was placed by Children Services in E.V.’s care pending investigation.

While he was in her care, E.V. insured that C.V. was brought into the city every evening so that his parents could spend time with him. Following a finding by the Children Services that the injury was an accident, he was permitted to return to his parents. [ 25 ] Shortly after that, T.A.J. was admitted to the hospital. Because J.V. was working full time, C.V. was again placed in E.V.’s care. She took C.V. to the hospital to visit with his parents every other day.

When J.V. was not present at the hospital, she would also take C.V. to the apartment to see his father. [ 26 ] R.D.B. similarly describes frequent engagement in C.V.’s life after he was born. She and her husband saw C.V. as much as possible, visiting when he was born and bringing fruit and canned goods when he broke his arm. Once they determined that there was trouble between the parents, they began to spend longer periods visiting.

Neither set of grandparents described any sort of interaction between them where they might have consulted to assist each other in supporting their respective children and their grandchild. In any event, R.D.B. became concerned about T.A.J.’s health, M.V.’s method of force-feeding the child, and both parents’ drug issues. They described keeping C.V. a couple of weeks at a time at the request of T.A.J. [ 27 ] She discusses C.V.’s diagnosis of hypothyroidism at one week old.

She describes his medication regime and how strict it is both with respect to the manner in which the medication is taken and the need for regular blood tests. She testified that the blood tests are done at least once a month. R.K.T. also described C.V.’s condition and necessary regimen. [ 28 ] E.V.’s concern about medication compliance when C.V. is in British Columbia with his maternal grandparents dates back to May 2014. Evidently, C.V. visited his grandparents for a month. His blood work was done on his return to Alberta.

E.V. took C.V. to a follow-up doctor’s appointment because his parents were in the process of a move and so he was back in his grandmother’s care. The doctor advised her at that time that C.V.’s TSH levels were the highest they had ever been, as if he had not been receiving his medication. She also testified that she had been informed (though not by whom) that R.D.B. uses natural remedies for healing and so she was fearful that R.D.B. may not believe in giving prescription medication. [ 29 ] In October 2014, R.D.B. and R.K.T. came to Alberta and took C.V. back to British Columbia with them.

E.V. was not informed by C.V.’s parents of this move or how long he would be gone for. When she asked, she received only very vague answers or T.A.J. would change the subject. [ 30 ] R.D.B. said that she was aware of C.V.’s thyroid problem and took him to the doctor immediately upon bringing him to British Columbia. She described how the doctor was monitoring C.V.’s condition for them and providing them direction whenever his levels were out. She also described the direction that she had been given for how to administer his medication appropriately.

She said that the regimen was set by the doctor and they were told it could be very serious if it was not observed. [ 31 ] It appears that C.V. was slated to return to his parents in December 2014 for Christmas to remain for good. However, J.V. was laid off from work and he and T.A.J. began to fight “quite a bit”. According to what J.V. has told E.V., R.D.B. returned to Alberta only briefly with C.V. She felt that T.A.J. and J.V. were not fit to parent C.V. so she took C.V. back to British Columbia.

E.V. said that she and her husband were not given the opportunity to see C.V. at all during this time despite his being back in Edmonton. [ 32 ] In January and February of 2015, E.V. attempted to speak to T.A.J. about when C.V. was going to be coming home because her

son did not seem to not know either. She did not have any contact information for R.D.B. and T.A.J. never seemed present when E.V. visited. She also did not return E.V.’s phone calls or texts. [ 33 ] In March 2015, E.V. finally received a number for R.D.B. She contacted R.D.B. asking what was going on. R.D.B. was rude to E.V. and said that C.V. would be staying with them. E.V. asked her to consider having C.V. stay with Mr. and Mrs. V. because both of the parents lived near them and they would be able to see him on a regular basis.

R.D.B. evidently laughed at E.V. and said that C.V. would be staying with her. [ 34 ] T.A.J. texted E.V. throughout April, May, June and July asking if J.V. was with her. In July 2015, T.A.J. texted E.V. to set a date to pick up her son. She then heard nothing further from T.A.J. until October 2015 when T.A.J. called E.V. to ask if they would be coming to court in British Columbia. [ 35 ] In August 2015, the V. went to Chase with J.V. They attended a police station first to inform them that they were planning to take C.V. home.

Upon arrival at R.D.B. and R.K.T.’s cabin, R.D.B. was not present but did arrive shortly after. E.V. described a happy reunion with C.V. where he was excited to see them and spent most of his time climbing all over J.V. [ 36 ] R.D.B. told E.V. that J.V. had signed documents allowing C.V. to stay with them. She did not produce this document and J.V. maintained that he only allowed C.V. to stay with his maternal grandparents on a temporary basis. She also said that J.V. never sent money or called to talk to C.V. J.V. informed R.D.B., though, that he was the one who gave T.A.J. the money she was sending them.

He also claimed that when T.A.J. called to speak to C.V., he was also present and spoke to C.V. R.D.B. refused to allow J.V. and his parents to take C.V. home. [ 37 ] Shortly after, J.V. was served with an ex-parte application granting interim guardianship to the maternal grandparents. It is unclear what steps he made to set aside that ex-parte order. It is equally unclear why this application was made ex-parte when the V. had just been in town and could have attended that hearing, even on short notice.

Presumably a transcript has been ordered by the parties so that this may be addressed at the trial. [ 38 ] It is E.V.’s view that R.D.B. and R.K.T. have done everything in their power to keep C.V. from his paternal grandparents. She is concerned that if they are granted guardianship, the V. will never see their grandson and J.V. will never see his son.

Until 2015, C.V. had lived his entire life in Alberta with either his parents or his paternal grandparents. [ 39 ] E.V. acknowledges that J.V. is not in a position to take full guardianship of C.V. by himself, but it is very important to him that he able to see his son on a regular basis. [ 40 ] E.V. has spoken to C.V.’s prior pediatrician, Dr. Galante. Dr. Galante has agreed to continue as C.V.’s pediatrician if he returns to Alberta. E.V. has also obtained contact information for the Preschool Speech and Language Program that Dr.

Galante had recommended C.V. attend if speech and language therapy is still necessary for him. There is some indication that he may have had such needs. [ 41 ] E.V. only works part time so C.V. would primarily be in her care. However, she has also contacted the [omitted for publication] Centre in Spruce Grove where C.V. would attend when E.V. is at work. It should be noted that C.V. is in Kindergarten in British Columbia.

It appears that Kindergarten may not be mandatory in Alberta but it is certainly imperative that C.V. continue in school now that he has begun. [ 42 ] E.V. has confirmed that C.V. would attend [omitted for publication] School in Spruce Grove, which also offers assistance through Alberta Health Services should there be a need for speech and language therapy. E.V. also outlined some of the daytime activities she would take C.V. to in order to socialize him appropriately.

As I have said, however, he will be in school regardless of where he lives and so these activities may not be necessary. [ 43 ] E.V. outlined a plan for maintaining family contacts which included J.V. staying with the V. on weekends. During the holidays, most of the V. family comes to visit in Spruce Grove where C.V. would have the opportunity to spend holidays with his aunts and uncles as well as his great grandmother. They also visit frequently throughout the year in Alberta so C.V. would have additional opportunities to spend with his cousins and extended family.

They do not address how they plan to maintain these important relationships with the maternal side of the family, another key factor for the trial judge to assess. [ 44 ] In October 2017, R.D.B. and R.K.T. refused to bring C.V. for the V.’s rotation. This was because he had been registered in Kindergarten. E.V. claimed that this registration was done without discussing the decision with the V. [ 45 ] R.D.B. said that they did discuss registration in Kindergarten but E.V. was dismissive of the importance of it.

E.V. said that it was not required for him to attend Kindergarten and therefore they should continue the rotation. [ 46 ] E.V. conceded she had intended that the rotation continue until C.V. entered Grade 1. This was based on advice from her counsel that Kindergarten was not mandatory. It was not, as suggested by R.D.B., because E.V. believed Kindergarten was unnecessary. It is really a distinction without a difference. If C.V. has speech and language issues as suspected, then Kindergarten would have been beneficial, even if it had not been mandatory.

This issue is now moot since C.V. has been attending Kindergarten and will continue to do so regardless of where he resides on an interim basis. Whether this issue has bearing on the final decision must be left for the trial judge. [ 47 ] On the issue of the delayed speech, E.V. testified that she was advised of this delay from his daycare provider at [omitted for publication] Centre. C.V. had been enrolled in a pre-Kindergarten class as an introduction to Kindergarten. The centre had suggested C.V. enter into the pre-Kindergarten program at Broxton.

This would have evidently allowed him to catch up in his speech, while participating in similar activities to that of Kindergarten. There is no indication in this evidence what qualifications the centre has for determining speech delays or whether any assessment was done. When a party is alleging that there is a developmental delay of some form or another, it is imperative that they be properly assessed and before the court to determine. This was not necessary for this interim application, but will be for the trial judge.

In any event, it appears that R.D.B. did take C.V. to the speech therapist but his language has

caught up and gone beyond his expected level. She described C.V. as a “smart little guy”. The speech therapist indicated that he did not require those services any longer. This will also be an issue for the trial judge to determine, in any event. [ 48 ] E.V. felt registering C.V. in school in British Columbia was very disruptive to the programming he was attending at the centre in Alberta. He had made friends, taken field trips, and was very enthusiastic. He was well liked and popular among his classmates.

R.D.B. reported a very similar acceptance and belonging with the school C.V. is attending in British Columbia. He is described as very social and has charisma. [ 49 ] E.V. acknowledged that C.V. is half-aboriginal and that she and her husband want him to know and learn his heritage. However, she feels it is extremely important that her side of the family be highly involved in his upbringing. It should be noted that E.V. is also part aboriginal but has not embraced her heritage in that regard. [ 50 ] R.D.B. identified how they have integrated C.V. into his heritage on that side of the family.

He harvests medicine, goes hunting, attends pow wows, picks berries and drums. R.D.B. described this as “who we are” not simply events they attend. This will be an important factor for the trial judge to determine when considering what will be in the best interests of C.V. going forward. It is not a matter the interim judge should try to determine. [ 51 ] E.V.’s affidavit outlines concerns about T.A.J.’s capability of being a guardian of C.V. She identified a number of warrants outstanding in Alberta for T.A.J.’s arrest. However, T.A.J. has not replied to this proceeding and has not appeared on the hearing.

The issue before me is only where C.V. should reside on an interim basis. [ 52 ] E.V. described C.V.’s behaviours as they changed during the course of his contact time with the V. On arrival, he is moody and emotional. E.V. correlates this with his thyroid levels being out of regulation. By the end of the first week, C.V. is back in routine and looking forward to the day’s events. [ 53 ] R.D.B. described that C.V. sees Dr. Van Leeve every six months every six months unless something goes wrong. Otherwise, they attend a doctor in Chase.

However, R.D.B. did not provide any blood results or medical reports that would indicate confirmed compliance with C.V.’s medication while in British Columbia. This is a critical piece of objective evidence to determine whether or not they are compliant with his medications. [ 54 ] I do not say this to mean that R.D.B. and R.K.T. do not understand the nature of C.V.’s illness, only that there does not appear to be compliance when he is in their care. Again, my determination does not bind the trial judge. R.D.B. and R.K.T. may well amass the necessary evidence to show that they are entirely compliant.

If that is the case, someone is going to need medical evidence to explain why the levels are out of regulation each time C.V. arrives in Alberta. [ 55 ] E.V. has observed C.V. show an outburst of temper when he becomes frustrated. On one occasion, during a Facetime visit, he had one of these outbursts. R.D.B. laughed. She also has a difference of opinion about how R.D.B. corrects C.V.’s behaviour when he misbehaves during his Facetime visits.

E.V. believes the behaviour is related to his TSH levels, rather than being uncomfortable or unhappy talking to his V. grandparents. [ 56 ] E.V. also described that C.V. comes to them on their rotation in poor hygiene and health. She described having to put him in the tub and trim his finger and toenails. She is concerned they do not properly monitor his thyroid condition either through blood work or his medication regime. She described an occasion when C.V. arrived in flip flops without any other alternative shoes. His feet were filthy and he was wearing only shorts.

E.V. opined that this was an inappropriate way to be dressed to be out camping. [ 57 ] R.D.B. denied that there is any effort to alienate the other grandparents. She described telling C.V. that he is lucky to have two homes and they keep the matters positive when it is time for him to leave for Alberta. She concedes that in the beginning she would tell C.V. that he was visiting the V.’s because she wanted him to be assured that he would be coming home. He refers to their place as home and they do not disabuse him of this.

She said they are trying to be fair. [ 58 ] E.V. also noticed that C.V. had bug bite sores on both of his legs, which stung. She discovered more sores throughout his body when she bathed him. When she took C.V. to see Dr. Galante, the “bites” were diagnosed as impetigo. This was the second time he has contracted impetigo. When she informed R.D.B. about the impetigo, R.D.B. informed E.V. that she thought it was mosquito bites. [ 59 ] E.V. also described an occasion where C.V. had a hoarse voice for almost three months in the prior winter. When E.V. asked R.D.B. about it, R.D.B. said it was his thyroid.

E.V. took C.V. to Dr. Galante, who gave him antibiotics for a throat infection. It cleared quickly. [ 60 ] E.V. identified a concern that the B. and T. home is heated by wood in the winter. She is concerned that C.V.’s body is not dealing with or fighting off the effects of it very well. He comes to the V.’s congested with a runny nose. On one occasion, he arrived smelling so strongly that the smell “almost knocked me over”. [ 61 ] R.D.B. said that the strong smell of smoke came from a tanned moose hide that was travelling with them.

She has also raised concerns about what she believes to be comments being raised by the V. because C.V. referred to their house as being a “pig house” that could be blown away really easily. He has also made reference to dirty Indians on a few occasions. [ 62 ] E.V. said that if C.V. were to go to Kindergarten in Spruce Grove, a bus would pick him up and bring him back to the house. He would learn French as a second language in a French immersion school.

As I have said, C.V. is well integrated in his [omitted for publication] School and is doing very well in that language. [ 63 ] As I have identified, this is an interim application. The urgency in the application is the concern the V. have about C.V.’s medication compliance while in the care of his grandparents in British Columbia. By R.D.B.’s evidence, it appears that the grandparents at least understand the regime and are doing their best to comply with it. However, despite communications with Dr.

Van Leeve and R.D.B.’s assertions that C.V. has been getting medical care as appropriate, there is no objective evidence before the court to confirm that

he is in fact in compliance with his medication in British Columbia. [ 64 ] There are a number of significant and important issues raised at this hearing that were not appropriate or necessary for me to determine on an interim basis, that the trial judge will have to determine when deciding what is in the best interests of C.V. [ 65 ] This will include how the grandparents communicate with each other, how each cares for C.V. on all levels, whether the child should attend Secwepmecstin or French Immersion, who is going to do the most to preserve each half of C.V.’s heritage, and who will attend to C.V.’s medical needs most appropriately, among the myriad other considerations the trial judge will have to assess. [ 66 ] The role of a judge on an interim application is to do the best justice that can be achieved with limited evidence to cover the period of time until trial. [ 67 ] In this case, the most troubling aspect is C.V.’s health.

The objective blood test results show that there are compliance issues until he is in the care of the V’s.

It is therefore appropriate that the V. be granted interim guardianship under Rule 18.1 and have the primary residence of C.V. until a trial of this matter in July 2018. [ 68 ] E.V. shall enrol C.V. in Kindergarten and ensure that he attends daily unless otherwise excused by medical reason. [ 69 ] R.D.B., R.K.T. and T.A.J. shall have Facetime not less than one time per week with C.V. at a time and on a date to be agreed between the parties. [ 70 ] The V. shall communicate with R.D.B., R.K.T. and T.A.J. with respect to all medical appointments booked for C.V. as soon as those appointments are booked, and provide copies of all medical reports and tests obtained. [ 71 ] The V. shall provide reasonable and generous contact time to R.D.B. and R.K.T. whenever they are in Alberta. [ 72 ] The V. shall bring C.V. with them to the trial dates in Kamloops in July and shall arrange for reasonable and generous contact time for C.V. with R.D.B. and R.K.T. while he is in Kamloops. [ 73 ] R.D.B. and R.K.T. shall have such further and other contact time as may be agreed between the parties. [ 74 ] This order takes effect not later than March 17, 2018.

The exchange shall be at the B. and T. home in British Columbia. R.D.B. and R.K.T. shall provide to the V. copies of all blood tests and medical reports obtained to date for C.V., which the V. shall provide to Dr. Galante. [ 75 ] This matter is adjourned to the pre-trial conference on May 30, 2018 at 1:30 p.m. in Courtroom 3A in Kamloops, British Columbia. _______________________________ S.D. Frame Provincial Court Judge
