One of the more curious commitments included in last September's Speech from the Throne concerned the establishment of a Pacific Centre for Social Innovation. According to that speech, the centre focus on finding ways of improving voter participation, air and water quality and the quality of life for today's families. And who's going to be raising the tent for this three ring circus? Come on down, Partnership British Columbia corporate affairs vice-president Suromitra Sanatani. Ms Sanatani has been seconded to the ministry of advanced education from September 25 to April 27, where she will be responsible from developing that centre. Her background includes being the Canadian Federation of Independent Business's British Columbia and Yukon vice-president and chair of the Coalition of British Columbia Businesses.
