Wednesday night was a late one after judging and sending out Exposed!

Below are a few photos – thanks to Cynthia at PhotoBuddies for the first two photos:

The judges debating:

A slightly wobbly P&S portrait (taken by me) with some camera club members:

Also some bureaucratic good news… in theory. I got an e-mail from Corporations Canada:

” The Paperwork Burden Reduction Initiative (PBRI) involves measuring the costs and
impact of regulatory compliance on business, including small businesses, and pursuing
opportunities to reduce, rationalize and simplify regulatory requirements across federal departments and agencies. It was launched in February 2005 in response to the
Government of Canada’s 2004 Budget commitment to measure the impact of regulatory compliance on businesses and make measurable reductions in paperwork burden.”

Fulfilling federal and provincial obligations like paperwork is a very large task for a small company like mine. I have spent many hours filing, phoning and visiting gov’t offices trying to comply with their policies – it IS a burden! Sometimes there is unfortunate bungling that costs significant time. The Corp Can e-mail was fresh air that seems to be moving at a rather glacial speed – at least it’s moving!
