Mayor Ranns stated that the Fire services Exemplary Service Medal, created on August 29, 1985, honours members of a recognized Canadian fire service who have completed 20 years of service, ten years of which have been served in the performance of duties involving potential risks, and were employed on or after the date of creation of the Medal. Recognized fire services include Canadian fire departments, fire marshals’ offices, fire commissioners’ offices and the Canadian Forces fire services. Exemplary service is characterized by good conduct, industry and efficiency. a) Scott Henning, Fire Service Exemplary Service Medal Mayor Ranns gave a brief overview of Scott Henning’s background as a firefighter, starting in 1998 with North Cowichan, promoted to Lieutenant after three years. He has been an officer for 16 years, and Fire Chief for the last three years. Scott has been heavily involved in Fire Investigations and is a competitive member of the North Cowichan extrication team for over ten years. Scott is also a member of their Swift Water Rescue Team and brings a great wealth of knowledge and experience in driving, pump operations, scene management and has a passion for District of Metchosin - 2 - December 10, 2018 Council Meeting Minutes the fire service. Scott came to Metchosin in January 2018 and was promoted to Lieutenant after his probationary period. Mayor Ranns stated that Metchosin is fortunate to have him as an active and dedicated member of the Metchosin Volunteer Fire Department and congratulated him on his Fire Services Exemplary Service Medal. b) Stephanie Dunlop, Fire Service Exemplary Service Medal Mayor Ranns stated that Stephanie Dunlop came to Metchosin from Peachland, worked her way up the Metchosin Volunteer Fire Department to become the Fire Chief, and has done a remarkable job as Chief. Stephanie has recommended and implemented many programs, including mutual aid agreements with neighbouring communities. Stephanie works to consistently improve life for Metchosin residents with her ability to operate effectively and economically. Stephanie introduced the tender shuttle that has saved residents on their insurance costs, hiring the District’s Public Works crew from the Fire Department to helping us have a full engine crew during the day that helps with our mutual aid as well. Stephanie has also worked very hard with our Emergency Operation Centre getting it to a remarkable state of efficiency. Mayor Ranns congratulated Stephanie on her many accomplishments over the years and congratulated her on the Fire Services Exemplary Service Medal. 3. Public Participation Gaert Linnaea, resident, stated her full support for the LaBonne Residents Association and expressed concerns about the areas lands and waterways of Wildwood Creek which feeds into Matheson Lake. Ms. Linnaea has noticed increase in tandem traffic over the last two years and asked what Council what they can do to have some control over the soil deposits. Mark Atherton, resident, restated that a workshop put on by the Ombudsperson’s Office would be a very good idea and quoted some parts of the Best Practices booklet put out by the Ombudsperson’s Office, including court proceedings and bylaw enforcement. Mr. Atherton commented on an alternative process to going to court, The Bylaw Notice Enforcement Act, which is less structured and less cost. Mr. Atherton offered to volunteer to help with a Bylaw Enforcement Workshop. Robert Patterson, resident, stated his support for the LaBonne Residents Association, adding that this issue has been going on for a long time and there is lots to be concerned about. Mr. Patterson commented that it is unsettling to know the length of time some of the soil deposits are taking and policing them all should not be just up to Municipal, there should be a Regional level involved. Bonnie Farris, resident, wanted to add onto Mark Atherton’s comments and stated the workshops put on by the Ombudsperson’s Office would be for staff and Council only, not the public. Ms. Farris went on to quote from the Best Practices Guide put out by the Office of the Ombudsperson, regarding enforcement. Ms. Farris commended Council for planning a workshop and asked that it happen fairly soon. Nicole Shukin, resident, thanked everyone that came out to support the LaBonne Residents Group and commented on bylaw violations and voluntary compliance unfolding in Metchosin, including boulders that were brought on the property in question to line a pond or erecting a screen. Over the weekend boulders being moved around the property were heard. Ms. Shukin questioned whether voluntary compliance means screening over or cleaning up a problem. Ms. Shukin also commented on the image of Parry Bay Sheep Farm on the District of Metchosin website and what happens behind the rural green image lays scenes of careless remation and the broken hearts of residents. With renewed will for serious bylaw reform, Metchosin can live up to the image it projects. Ms. Shukin supports a bylaw workshop. District of Metchosin - 3 - December 10, 2018 Council Meeting Minutes Dominique Daniel Moscow, resident, supports the residents speaking on a more effective approach to bylaw enforcement and having a workshop on bylaw enforcement. Ms. Moscow commented on the amount of fine revenue collected and stated collecting essential fines for serious offenses would help fund bylaw services. Ms. Moscow stated voluntary compliance may work in some instances but certain criteria should be applied before this being the default approach, like past history, effect on environment and/or neighbours. Karyn Woodland, resident, stated the bylaw enforcement and complaint process is flawed and supports the LaBonne Road residents and Mark Atherton’s comments about a Best Practices Workshop. Ms. Woodland gave a brief history of Metchosin and its residents, who many volunteer tirelessly to enhance environmental stewardship, but not all residents value Metchosin. Ms. Woodland stated Metchosin is known for its lax bylaws and minimal environmental standard. Ken Merkley, resident, supports the LaBonne Road residents, has recently seen the site from the Ash Mt. lookout and was appalled at the degradation since the LaBonne extension went in. Mr. Merkely felt motivated to come speak on it, and volunteer his time, with a background in policy work, to help with a bylaw workshop. Paige Jervis, resident, supports and sympathizes with all those regarding the Ash Mt. dumpsite and would like to point out there is continued dumping on parts of Section 38, Goldstream District, access off Sooke Road. Many dump trucks are entering this property regularly containing questionable materials and have reported to the District some time ago and it is still happening. Ms. Jervis asked Council to act on these illegal activities and expressed concern over the damage that these activities are doing to the water quality of these connecting creeks. Gail Dalzell, property owner, stated that a workshop would explain to residents how bylaw enforcement operates; from the time a complaint is received and up until it is rectified. Holding a workshop to find ways of fining people will not be helpful. Metchosin has always been unique and handles things in different ways. Ms. Dalzell stated that there have been many times, that residents don’t know of that Council has enforced bylaws by getting compliance and have done it quietly. Ms. Dalzell also stated that it says on the agenda why Council goes In Camera. Ms. Dalzell commended Council for all the times they have reached compliance, quietly and not by intimidation. Ken Farquharson, resident, speaking on behalf of Monique Antsy, commented that Council stopped the fill on the wetlands adjacent to her property, the owner was to have a grass field, if you go down there today there is nothing growing on there at all. If you stop a fill, is it not in your power to require some form of remediation? It is not a good situation down there. Jennifer Burgis, resident, complimented those who gave formal presentations on bylaw enforcement, stating it is important for Council to listen. Ms. Burgis wished a great holiday season to everyone and wanted to remind Council of the year 2017 where incredible things were done, purchased the school and the boundary adjustment, both significant for Metchosin and she is looking forward to 2019. Ms. Burgis noted that residents are showing they want to work more closely and positively with Council than perhaps in the past.

It is most fortunate therefore, that we are able to accurately document the precise circumstances under which the Peachland Methodist Church, forerunner of Peachland United Church, came into existence. As you will see from the following document, a meeting of unattached, like-minded Methodists was held in the Orange Hall on August 19 th , 1907 to discuss the future of Methodism in Peachland. While we celebrate the first service in our church on November 5 th , 1911 as day 1 of our 100 year history, this document clearly shows that our church, at that time without a permanent home, is actually 104 years old this year. Two points of interest. This two page photocopied document was among a large box of papers donated to the church after two long-time Peachland United Church members Jeff and Jean Todd had both passed away. It is taken from a Minute Book, pages 2 and 3, that was obviously intended to be the official record of the new Methodist church.

  • West Kelowna Transmission Project
    Welcome to the BC Hydro open house West Kelowna Transmission Project We’re planning for a new, secondary transmission line delivering clean, reliable power to the communities of West Kelowna and Peachland. The new transmission line will strengthen and reinforce the existing transmission network. We’re here to share the most recent project information and to gather your comments on what we know so far. We hope you’ll share your local knowledge of the project study area with us. WEST KELOWNA TRANSMISSION PROJECT OPEN HOUSE BCH18-305 Why it’s important Approximately 22,000 customers are served by the Westbank Substation and a single 138 kilovolt transmission line. We’ve prioritized the West Kelowna area as needing a redundant supply of power because of: ○ The large number of customers served by a single transmission line. ○ The challenge of restoring power on the existing transmission line resulting from its 80 kilometre length, remote location and rough terrain. ○ The risk of destructive forces like forest fires and landslides. In the meantime, we’ll continue to monitor and manage any risks to the existing transmission line. What’s redundant supply? Redundant supply means there is more than one source (for example, a transmission Iine) providing power to the community or “back-up” power. That way, if one source is taken out of service, the other can still supply the community with electricity. WEST KELOWNA TRANSMISSION PROJECT OPEN HOUSE BCH18-305 Our electricity system Generation Transmission Substations Distribution Electricity is generated Electricity is Voltage is reduced at Low voltage by BC Hydro and moved from where substations to provide electricity is provided independent power it’s produced to power suitable for use in to neighbourhoods producers.

  • Fortis Operating Agreements – New Operating Fees
    To Regular Council October 6, 2014 MEMO April 2, 2014 TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL FILE: 5500-03 FROM: C.D. COATES, CAO DATE: SEPTEMBER 30, 2014 SUBJECT: FORTIS OPERATING AGREEMENTS – NEW OPERATING FEES BACKGROUND For the past 4 years, the Association of Vancouver Island Coastal Communities has been engaged in a joint process with FORTIS BC to correct the historic situation whereby municipal taxpayers within AVICC were denied the opportunity to recover the costs of gas distribution lines placed within municipal streets. This inequity occurred over 25 years ago, when the government of the day unilaterally imposed a prohibition under the Vancouver Island Gas Pipeline Act to assist in project construction financing to bring natural gas to Vancouver Island. Municipal taxpayers were not consulted about this decision, but were required to forgo literally tens of millions of dollars in fees and to subsidize gas provision in a manner not required of other taxpayers outside of METRO Vancouver. In 2011, AVICC and its member municipalities, in cooperation with FORTIS, embarked upon a three-phase strategy to reinstate the ability to recoup annual operating fees. The strategy involved: 1. Reaching agreement on a new “Made in AVICC” model operating agreement with Fortis BC. 2. Fortis BC bringing in a new “postage rate” structure for gas rates: resulting in significant reductions for gas customers within AVICC, which has now been approved by the BC Utilities Commission. 3. The Province adopting new legislation removing the legislative prohibition on operating fees within AVICC. After extensive work, two of these conditions precedent have now been achieved.

    2021 Quarter 2 Update April 1 - June 30, 2021 Council Strategic Plan 2019-2022 INTRODUCTION Quarter 2 Update: April 1 - June 30, 2021 The second quarter of 2021 saw further expansion of certain activities that had been impacted in previous quarters due to the pandemic. After suspending all outdoor aquatics services in 2020, plans and staffing were put in place to re-open our outdoor aquatic venues (Fuller Lake Park and Crofton Outdoor Pool) for the summer of 2021. Similarly, the Cowichan Aquatic Centre was able to reduce restrictions on programs and services in line with provincial and public health authorities and in conjunction with similar facilities. As well, after a 15-month hiatus, we began to accept applications for special events, and the resumption of summer outdoor events at the Chemainus Bandshell have been confirmed with the Cowichan Valley Cultural Arts Society. A number of public engagement initiatives were also advanced in the second quarter. Engagement on the Master Transportation Plan launched starting with an online public survey seeking information on existing conditions and community needs/gaps, and letters were sent to six First Nations requesting input and their preferred methods of consultation into the transportation plan. Community engagement on growth management, as part of the Official Community Plan (OCP) update, took place and included a background report, survey and webinar, with the results and analysis to be presented to both the OCP Advisory Committee and Council in July. The Public Engagement Committee also met in June to review the draft Public Engagement Policy and discuss next steps, including pausing the completion of the Policy until major engagement projects have been concluded.
