To: Powell River City Council

RE: REGIONAL SOCIAL PLANNING AND SINO BRIGHT

I am writing Council to follow-up on my question at the Council meeting of March 15, 2018, regarding whether an in depth study has been done on the impact of the proposed large influx of Sino Bright students on the city of Powell River, apart from the economic impact.

• The mayor noted that he was not aware of one and would not call for one. The Globe and Mail reported in April, 2016 “Powell River is a first for this kind of venture in Canada.” Therefore, while Powell River is a diverse cultural community that prides itself on being open and responsive to difference, there is a lot to consider in this venture. It is unprecedented in size and scope for a community of our size. There are no templates or guidebooks. We must make a thoughtful decision based on our values as a community. “Projections that consider only population or only land use, or only the economy, or only demographics face the risk that some of the key linkages and interrelationships between these factors will be missed.” (VANNSTRUTH, PRRD REGIONAL GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT ANALYSIS)

• The city has paid for a report called the Powell River Regional Social Planning Program, which is on the city’s website. This report was received at a 3C meeting (Powell River, Powell River Regional District and Tla’amin) on October 16th, 2017. According to the city’s Action List, the report is under review by the three CAOs. This is excellent as the report stresses the importance of a socially connected community: “Comprehensive and coordinated social planning is our best bet to building even greater vibrancy in our communities, ensuring health and well-being for all.” The R.D. unanimously passed a motion to be part of social planning at a local level on January 25th 2018. (1)

• Student Population. Presently there are 80 – 100 high school age Sino Bright students in Powell River. That number could rise. In addition, it was announced at the March 15th Council meeting that there is now an elementary school planned for Sino Bright which will accommodate over 400 students. These students, according to the mayor, will come with at least one parent. Only Councillor Hathaway noted a concern about the possible influx of hundreds of kids in relation to the number of students which as of September 2017 was 2064. How will this affect the present school situation? If the Sino Bright children are in their own school, by what means do they integrate with others? Is the community aware of this new component of an elementary school? Has it been discussed openly? Economically, there will be a gain re funding from the Ministry of Education; hopefully, there will be a cultural gain for all concerned. But without solid futuristic planning, how do we know?

Page 11 of 47 • Housing. The Regional Social Planning Program report noted that the availability of housing in Powell River is at a critical level; homelessness is now visible. There is no social planning study to determine what the effect of a large influx in population might have on the cost of homes or on the availability of housing itself. While the city has a housing round table that meets every 3 months and a steering committee that meets every month, the topic of housing for a large new group of people (assuming the children and the parents involved in the elementary school program will need housing) has never been brought up. Should this housing committee be considering this as part of the Social Planning Program along with the Sustainability Committee to help ensure that work is future directed in many ways and not done in silos? The Tyee has sponsored a series of reports by Christopher Cheung regarding the huge issues around runaway costs of housing and the resultant lack of any kind of available housing let alone affordable housing in Vancouver. (2)

• Social Services. Do we know what the impact of a large influx of people will have on health services, emergency services, immigrant services, education support services as well as other services in Powell River? They are all strained now. Is there a plan?

• Economic Progress vs Economic Growth. The P.R. Regional Social Planning Program report states that economic progress and economic growth are not the same, as the latter often results in a growing gap between rich and poor. This can increase the feeling of alienation which, according to the report, many people in Tla’amin already acknowledge feeling. Further: “Research has recognized a smaller income gap as an indicator of how well a community is doing. Rather than increasing revenues, economic progress is more effectively pursued and maintained by focussing on reducing wealth and income disparities”. There is the understanding that it is affluent children and families moving here as Sino Bright is not an inexpensive program. (Average total spending per student for those living in the dormitory is $33,500 per year – Economic Impact Assessment of Proposed Sino Bright School Campus in Powell River, June 2015). Presently, the child poverty rate in Powell River is almost 25%. Perhaps these two extremes can co-exist easily, but do we know that? The Social Planning Program report suggests otherwise. If the intent is to lower the poverty rate by bringing in new money and businesses, where is the study that outlines how this will be done and what the suggested outcomes will be? The Vannstruth Sino Bright Economic Impact Assessment talks about an estimated increase of 107 local jobs and makes generalized statements such as “the establishment of the Sino Bright School campus will make a significant contribution toward the continued diversification of the local economy toward new, high-value activities”. What those are and how they may affect our community is unknown. Vannstruth’s own acknowledgement in their PRRD Regional Growth and Development Analysis is that “projections about the future are inherently uncertain”. (Page 1)

• School District Responsibility vs City Responsibility. The mayor has noted that the negotiations in regard to Sino Bright are between the School District and the proponents of Sino Bright. But would the influx of many more students and parents not involve the community as a whole and in many ways? Social planning by the city is essential for the benefit of all. The mayor has accompanied the S.D. personnel to China on several occasions for economic reasons as he has

Page 12 of 47 outlined at Council meetings so the city is certainly involved. Although the Chinese are paying for the trips, other districts have stopped this practice because of real or perceived conflict of interest.

• Plans, Policies and Reports. There are several documents that speak to the benefits of transparent comprehensive planning in Powell River that goes beyond just looking at the immediacy of the economic situation.

a. Powell River’s Integrated Community Sustainability Plan states: Working comprehensively to address the social, economic, and environmental issues through Strategy Areas facilitates integrated solutions that are long lasting and will avoid unforeseen problems in other areas. b. The Social Planning report points out that the elements for successful social planning at a municipal level include: clear vision, holding regular community consultations, identifying existing high level priorities in the region and building emergent action teams. This reflects the ICSP c. Communications Policy 231 gives as its purpose: to ensure a consistent, coordinated proactive transparent and responsive approach in communications with the public. The addendum of this policy gives the spectrum of consultation. Is the city just informing us of what is happening or employing true collaboration and empowerment?

I urge the city and the 3C Committee to act in a timely proactive way to consider the social implications of the Sino Bright project on all concerned and to ensure that the citizens are included in the discussions and the decisions in a transparent way. Economics without environmental, social and cultural considerations is an abdication of our generational responsibility.

Respectfully

Trish Cocksedge

Page 13 of 47 “commodification of homes”. Having experienced the difficulty of acquiring even an affordable room, let alone an apartment or house, they write: “Instead of a place to live and raise families, homes are seen as commodities and stocks to build, park and hide wealth, often unvetted, from all over the world. Predatory local speculators and real estate professionals are enabling this.” It should concern all of us that without transparent social planning and open discussions about the kinds and numbers of homes we need, Powell River could go the way of Vancouver.

In another article, Cheung raises the questions about the role of government when cultures they are unfamiliar with make a home on Canadian soil. Author Willow Lung-Amam offers this advice: “planners and policy makers must create spaces in which the voices of different communities can be heard and can affect the shape of the landscapes they occupy.”

Dear Mayor and Council

I am writing you in support of PowTown Crossfit. I have been an member of the facility since the business opened in January of this year. I can say without any reservation that Mr. Charlton, Eddie, has done an outstanding job of operating a well equipped, well executed facility. It is in my opinion, the most exciting and rewarding fitness program 1n Powell River.

I would ask that you Keep in mind that this is Powell River's only certified and purpose built CrossFit Facility. As with all businesses that come to town, this Council now carries a debt of gratitude to Eddie. He has made a significant personal investment and he and his family have absorbed tremendous risk to bring this internationally recognized fitness program to Powell River.

Additionally, Eddie has done an outstanding job in a very short period of building a dedicated community from a broad cross section of Powell River's youth, professionals, tradesmen and self employed business people. Male/female, young and old, Eddie has hit upon a formula that works for all. ( I would note that his membership represents a significant and influential voting bloc.)

Recently, I was made aware of a letter sent to Powtown CrossFit on April 3, 2018 from the City Halt. I want to assure the City that since that letter arrived Eddie has been working to comply with its demands. In my opinion, it is clear Eddie is very aware that the threats contained within the letter would undoubtably cause his family significant financial harm.

He has adjusted the music we listen to, he has provided clear direction to the members on how to conduct ourselves in and around his facility. He is in short trying to find a way to operate his facility in accordance with his industrial zoning.

But, Eddie can only go so far trying to navigate the vagaries of the municipal bylaws on his own. He chose this site for its general industrial zoning because within this zoning he could provide an exhilarating experience that included music and running and fresh air. In my opinion, the City needs to find the time meet with and work with Eddie to establish reasonable goals for his facility and the General Industrial Zoning. (I note that to date, nobody from staff has met with Eddie at his facility) f

The current noise bylaw is anything but prescriptive. As such, the way forward is to find mutually agreed upon measurable targets that recognize his industrial zoning, allow for a true CrossFit experience and provide reasonable objective protection for his neighbours.

It is my opinion that all members of this facility want to see it succeed. I personally look to this council and your staff to mediate this situation and ensure Eddie's investment and Powell River's only CrossFit facility can continue to flourish.

Warm Regards,

Chris Roddan ")~\ r^rsil^fniiF^lt'wi? ,^f\ R-a nv\ ffrpsa l i r.^\n i

Subject: Sunshine Self Storage Facility, Restricted Access Cfr':^" POW^LL RIVER

Dear Mayor and Council,

As you may know, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) is a non-profit, non- partisan business association. With 110,000 members across Canada, including 10,000 in British Columbia (and 50 in Powell River), we are the largest organization exclusively representing the interests of small and medium-slzed independent businesses to all levels of government.

We write you today on behalf Mr. Stephen Koleszar, owner of Sunshine Self Storage, located at 4504 Fernwood Avenue. Sunshine Self Storage has been providing safe, secure and professional storage services to the community for over 17 years. The issue at hand is not related to Mr. Koleszar's ability to run a successful business, but rather, the City of Powell River's interference to his point of access, due to one disgruntled neighbour's complamts.

Our member tells us that originally, the lot that his business sits on was purchased and zoned as Ml general industrial property, where he built his self storage facility. His company paid for a portion of extending Cook St. through to Main Industrial Corridor St. as part of their development permit. Their access to Cook came with restrictions as per development permit #183, instigated by one adjacent neighbour to their property, who did not welcome commercial activities. A storage facility is the most passive use of commercial property imaginable, however, he was told that the neighbour didn't like the extra traffic. Despite this, his permit was approved by the City, and a valid business license issued and maintamed over the years.

The rear building fronting Cook St. was previously boat storage but was converted to contractor storage and a gym. This is when the complaints started, as per city letters. We are told that Mr. Koleszar has never been informed of violating any noise bylaws, as per their zoning approval, and

Page 16 of 47 the City has not conducted any kind of investigation as to the validity of the complaints. Additionally, our member believes that parking complaints have not been adequately investigated, in terms of who parked cars actually belong to. Rather, our member believes that City-staff have chosen what they believe to be the path of least resistance and are instead penalizing Sunshine Self Storage in order to try to "resolve" the issue.

In regards to noise complaints: our member has conducted his own investigation and found that several police officers are gym members. In their opinion, the music is at acceptable levels and does not warrant a complaint, nor an investigation and interference from the City. Despite this, our member has asked the gym to lower the volume (they have acquiesced), plus he has set aside and instructed gym members to park in designated parking areas only. Lastly, after discussions with City staff, our member has discerned that the complainant is well known to the City for frequent grievances, often of an unfounded nature. In this case, silencing the squeaky wheel by appeasing their claims, and penalizing not one, but two businesses is unfair and carries the potential for significant loss to those businesses.

It is with these points in mind that we respectfully ask that the City reconsider blocking access to Cook St. Additionally, given the apparent pre-disposition to complaint of Mr. Koleszar's neighbour, we ask that the City outline certain parameters that are agreeable to both parties, in order to satisfy the neighbour, but allow for operations to proceed for both Sunshine Self Storage and the gym. We believe that a proper investigation and consultation of both parties can result in a decrease in complaints (and therefore a decrease in an administrative headache for the City) as well as a suitable resolution for Mr. Koleszar.

Thank you for your consideration. We would be happy to meet with you to discuss the issues being raised by our member at any time. Please don't hesitate to contact us at 604.684.5325.

The Prawn fishing season is set to open on May 10 - This fishery provides significant revenue to the entire region - especially the City of Powell River as it is one of the most active commercial fisheries on the Westview Harbour docks -- with landings daily during the season - trucks from all over the coast arrive to secure fresh live product and local plants also gather and process for shipping around the world.

Major economic benefits extend from this fishery including employment on the decks of boats and the docks, transportation of product to local and world wide processors and markets, purchase and investment broadens to chandlery, trucks, real estate, and even vessel construction, maintenance, purchase and updating.

Thanks for your consideration to add this to the existing agenda: a mention during tonight's Regular Council meeting of this important economic driver for Powell River.

Regards -- Roger Whittaker

File: 7670-01

DATE: May 15, 2018

TO: Mayor and Council

FROM: Neil Pukesh, Manager of Recreation

SUBJECT: Resilient Streets Grant

In June 2017, the City of Powell River was successful in obtaining a $20,000 grant through the BC Healthy Community Society – Plan H program, to help citizens within Powell River to organize initiatives that build stronger relationships, improve local economies and increase self- reliance within their communities. Powell River was one of only four communities within British Columbia to obtain this grant along with Sechelt, Whistler, and Richmond.

The Resilient Streets grant was designed by BC Healthy Communities Society in an attempt to create more resilient communities in British Columbia by making efforts to meet, nurture, and strengthen the connections and relationships between neighbors. A resilient street or neighborhood is one in which people have more social events to get to know one another better, share tools, be more available to help each other with errands or during emergencies, or to work on different issues or projects together. Its about creating community connections.

In October 2017 and again in February 2018 a series of community partners table discussions took place with representatives from several community groups including Success by 6, School District 47, RCMP, Powell River Fire Department, Powell River Inclusion, and various City Councillors, to start the dialogue on creating resilient streets in our community. These groups worked together to create action plans for launching the program and are now preparing to launch the program.

The official kick off workshop for Resilient Streets has been scheduled for June 6, 2018. Here workshop participants will learn about the Resilient Street grant program and how it can be implemented within their own neighborhoods. Staff have already created a community resource form as well as a tool kit to help residents plan their ideas. From small $50 micro planning grants, to the $200 event and project grants, residents will now have available resources to pull their neighbors together to create a stronger community. To further compliment this initiative and through this grant, the City is also in the process of purchasing a Community Event Trailer that will be fully loaded and specifically designed to provide all the necessities to make the community event a success. All information will also be available to the public through the Resilient Streets section on the Parks, Recreation & Culture website.

Each neighborhood is unique and faces its own unique challenges therefore the program remains open to participants to decide upon what needs they need to address. Some examples of community projects may include:  Community pot lucks  Park beautification projects

Page 28 of 47  Gardening parties  Backyard BBQ’s  Emergency preparedness events  Blockwatch implementation

All program activities associated with this program must be completed by November 30, 2018. It is the departments intent to ensure that the information about these programs is released to the community in a timely manner and that residents take advantage of the opportunity for building a stronger and healthier neighborhood.

Respectfully submitted,

Neil Pukesh Manager of Recreation
