4.2 DELEGATION - RESORT MUNICIPALITY OF WHISTLER – WHISTLER COMMUNITY FOREST
Bill Barratt, Resort Municipality of Whistler, gave a presentation on Whistler’s proposal to develop a community forest plan. Don MacLaurin advised that he had observed forest parks in New Zealand, which were a successful model for community forests in BC. Cur- rently, he believes the forest is not being managed in an integrated manner with regard to forestry, recreation, parks, and other users. Staffing at Ministry of Forests has been cut in recent years, preventing intensive management. Resort Municipality of Whistler is con- cerned that BC Assets and Lands is operating in isolation from other stakeholders.
Discussion was held regarding the annual allowable cut (AAC) in the Soo Timber Supply Area. Whistler stated the AAC will increase slightly once the old licenses are complete. As well, initial growth rate estimates were low and more recent estimates will increase the AAC.
It was noted that the Soo Coalition for Sustainable Forests supports the Whistler Com- munity Forests, with some reservations. District of Squamish also supported, provided certain criteria were met, the most notable being that current stakeholders must not be negatively affected.
It was moved by Director Lonsdale and seconded by Director Fellowes:
THAT the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District supports the Whistler Community Forest proposal, subject to the following:
¨ No job losses in the forest industry that would impact on the SLRD; ¨ No reduction of Annual Allowable Cut in the Soo Timber Supply Area (or on the proposed Community forest land base), that would affect the existing forest license tenure holders and the Small Business Forest Enterprise Program; ¨ No loss of harvesting contracts held by independent contractors with the Forest Li- cense Holders; ¨ No loss of employment for the employees of the contractors.
