The ballots for the referendum on the special resolutions to replace the BCMA bylaws related to governance were counted in May, and neither of the two special resolutions was accepted by enough members to change the bylaws. There were 2418 ballots cast; the results are as follows:
• 59.9% voted in favor of Schedule A, the special resolution to adopt the Appleton-Mackie proposed new bylaws, endorsed by the BCMA Board.
• 11.8% voted in favor of Schedule B, the special resolution to adopt the Slater-Chartrand proposed new bylaws.
The Office of the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles (OSMV), in partnership with the BCMA, is revising the BC Guide for Physicians in Determining Fitness to Drive a Motor Vehicle (the Guide) to ensure that it reflects changes in the case law and the best evidence available regarding medical conditions and fitness to drive.

The BCMA is delighted to introduce long-term care insurance (LTCI) to members through a special alliance between MD Financial, Sun Life Financial, and the BCMA.
LTCI has been offered in the United States for over 40 years, but is relatively new to Canada. Sun Life Financial introduced LTCI in Canada in 1999.
Long-term care insurance is not just the latest industry buzzword or flavor-of-the-week. It is an important health insurance product designed to meet a growing need in this country.
7 June 2008, University of Northern British Columbia, Prince George
On this cloudy and windy day, attendees scurried into the Canfor Theatre of the University of Northern British Columbia, still with fond lingering memories of the fabulous barbecue hosted by BCMA’s Prince George member Dr Jan Burg at his ranch the evening before.
