To: Revelstoke City Council June 21, 2013
Crown Land Tenure renewal for the Westside Road gravel pit.
Preamble:-
It is my understanding that the Licence of Occupation for crown land issued by ILMB to 1 Interoute on the Westside Road Gravel Pit is due to expire on July 28 h, 2013. I am submitting this letter to request that the City review and consider the below issues and concerns as to why the City should not give it's approval oflnteroute's application to renew their tenure:
On May 15th. 2008 the City Planning department sent a letter to ILMB stating that the City gives its approval and support for the expansion of the Interoutes Westside Road gravel pit, on the recommendation of this letter ILMB consequently granted Interoute a 5- year tenure. This was done without bringing the matter to the attention of council and stated the application can be supported without soliciting public input. One of the conditions was that the land tenure was not to exceed 5 years. This term has now Expired.
ILMB stated that they would not have granted crown land tenure if the City of Revelstoke had objected. So consequently it was the City's ultimate responsibility and due diligence to consider the health implications of Crystalline Silica dust. This should have been done prior to giving approval, and has led to a large gravel pit being located 300 meters from private residents. The City of Revelstoke planning department far exceeded its responsibilities in granting approval and support to ILMB. The 5-year term should not be renewed. The health risks that we are exposed to from this gravel pit are directly due to the City's lack of public health concerns. What we are faced with is solely the responsibility ofthe City's Planning Department's negligence. We were told by the Planning Department that the noise and the Crystalline Silica dust would not be a problem. But, once the gravel pit was operational and the noise and dust became a serious issue the planning department John J Guenther stated that noise and dust was to be expected. If it was to be expected why did he omit to state that in his staffletter to council? He was made aware ofthe health risks associated with Crystalline Silica dust and he refused to include that in his staff letter to council.
The intent of this letter is to protect those who are already suffering with the effects of C.S. dust and to protect others from suffering from cancers associated with Crystalline Silica dust. Please Google www.carexcanada.ca/en/silica !ARC's classification in
Letter from NCES Re: Interoute Page 15 of 83 Construction tenure for the AgendaItem#7a.
1997 of crystalline silica as a Group 1 carcinogen (carcinogenic to humans) is specifically for quartz and cristobalite silica inhaled ±rom occupational sources.ill A recent IARC review of Class 1 carcinogens reaffirmed this classification.illl Epidemiological studies have shown a relationship between occupational exposure to crystalline silica and increased risk of lung cancer. Silicosis, a non-reversible fibrotic lung disease, is caused by the inhalation of crystalline silica particles.w Silicosis is typically categorized as chronic(> 10 years exposure), accelerated (hi~ concentrations over 5-10 years) or acute (short term exposure at high concentrations). 5 Besides silicosis and lung cancer, occupational silica exposure has also been linked to pulmonary tuberculosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and autoimmune disease (rheumatoid arthritis ).IL.l!l
The Land tenure should not be renewed due to the fact that the gravel pit operator's inability to be able to comply with the Mine permits conditions.
Mine permit# G-4-188 page 8 section 24 states that Dust originating from the mine site shall be controlled at the source. Dust shall not be allowed to impact adjacent private properties.
The condition that no dust to impact adjacent private properties has not been adhered to or enforced. Dust monitoring has not been active for over 2 yrs the only dust monitoring performed was in Nov. 2010 to March 2011. This was during the winter months when there was snow on the ground. I had these results reviewed by a Registered Professional Biologist whose specialty field is in mine reclamation and is a consultant for the Ministry of Mines. The RPB did not give the dust sample results any credibility, the only thing it did was to show a base line for future results, unfortunately Interoute did not continue dust testing.
When Greg Baytalan, B.Sc., C.P.H.I.(C), E.H.O.Air Quality Specialist Interior Health Visited the site and spoke to the pit operator in October 2012 he stated that it was impossible to operate a gravel pit with no dust!
It is the opinion of those that have been most adversely affected by the Crystalline Silica dust that the City of Revelstoke has failed both morally and ethically in all matters concerning this gravel pit. Ref. the Public Health Act Division 6 - Local Governments Role of local government 83 (1) A local government must do all of the following: (a) if the local government becomes aware of a health hazard or health impediment within its jurisdiction, take an action required by a regulation made under section 120 report the health hazard or health impediment to a health officer, This has not been upheld
The Community Charter has also not been upheld to protect our health. Community Charter [SBC 2003] CHAPTER 26 Part 2- Municipal Purposes and Powers Division 1 - Purposes and Fundamental Powers Municipalities and their councils Fundamental powers 8 (3) A council may, by bylaw, regulate, prohibit and impose requirements in relation to the following: (g) the health, safety or protection of persons or property in relation to matters referred to in section 63 {protection ofpersons

and property]; (i) public health; The authority of a council under section 8 (3) (h) [spheres of authority- nuisances disturbances and other objectionable situations] may be exercised in relation to the following: (a) nuisances; (b) noise, vibration, odour, dust, illumination or any other matter that is liable to disturb the quiet, peace, rest, enjoyment, comfort or convenience of individuals or the public; (c) the emission of smoke, dust, gas, sparks, ash, soot, cinders, fumes or other effluvia that is liable to foul or contaminate the atmosphere;
The health of many of the residents of the Columbia Park that live adjacent to the gravel pit has been compromised from inhalation of the Crystalline Silica Dust that they are exposed to from this gravel pit. There are cases of children suffering with severe asthma, elderly residents suffering from acute COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, Long-term exposure to lung irritants such as air pollution, chemical fumes, or dust contribute to COPD. Rheumatoid arthritis, and many other medical problems all of which are linked to the inhalation of crystalline silica. Silicosis Respirable crystalline silica (quartz) can cause silicosis, a fibrosis (scarring) of the lungs. Silicosis may be progressive; it may lead to disability and death. Lung Cancer Crystalline silica (quartz) inhaled from occupational sources is classified as carcinogenic to humans. Tuberculosis Silicosis increases the risk of tuberculosis. Autoimmune and Chronic Kidney Diseases Some studies show excess numbers of cases of scleroderma, connective tissue disorders, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic kidney diseases when exposed to respirable crystalline silica. It is a long-term low-level exposure that is the most harmful. Google Silicosis or Crystalline Silica health effects
I have many pictures of the silica dust blowing off the Westside road gravel pit most of which are heading in a southerly direction over the Columbia Park sub division and school. I would be glad to show them. Note I say silica dust and not Crystalline Silica dust as the Crystalline Silica, which is the most harmful, is unperceivable to the human eye without magnification. I have received and sent 1163 emails and had many phone calls regarding this gravel pit. I have received 12 FOI documents some taking 2 years to obtain containing hundreds of pages, and have done many hours of research which I will share this information with anyone from the City.
A question to ask yourself is:- Would you give this mine approval if it was asbestos being mined. ???? Yet the Ministry of Mines still permit asbestos to be mined! I can only hope that the people making the decisions regarding this gravel pit do not have to suffer the depilating effects of Crystalline Silica.

MEDIA ADVISORY- DRAFT
Habitat Pilot Project Moves Past Approvals
June 13, 2013
The project plans for the Habitat for Humanity- Revelstoke Community Housing Society pilot project to renovate A Home for the Hunts has been approved by the partners and now moves into the construction phase.
"We are absolutely thrilled to have met the requirements of both Habitat for Humanity Kelowna and the Community Housing Society and to get on with the excitement of building in July," states Cindy Pearce from the project team. "A huge thank you to our project team, to everyone who made financial donations, to all the businesses who have committed trades and materials and to all the volunteers who have signed up to help out- you've made this happen."
Through a memorandum of understanding with the Revelstoke Community Housing Society, the Kelowna affiliate of Habitat for Humanity will help with a renovation of Pauline and Simon Hunt's home to create an accessible, supportive space for their family, which includes two young daughters, as they all learn to live with Pauline's diagnosis of ALS/Lou Gehrig's disease. Lou Gehrig's disease is a debilitating illness that eventually requires wheelchair accessibility and costly patient care in the later stages. Patients with ALS become progressively paralyzed due to degeneration ofthe upper and lower motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord.
A team of co-workers and friends have come together to make this happen for the family and the community. They have raised all but about $12,000 of the $200,000 goal in just six months- and are hoping to receive an elevator through a supplier's 'Giving Back' program. The family is making a significant contribution to the project through $60,000 that was raised from family and friends, through repayment of a substantial no-interest loan that will create a legacy fund for future projects in Revelstoke and by putting in 'sweat equity' during the project.
"Habitat for Humanity Kelowna is proud to be part of this community effort," said Ed Mclean, Chair of the Board. "Revelstoke can take real pride in the impressive progress that the Home for the Hunts team has achieved so far. They have clearly contracted what is known as 'Habitatitis' and I expect they will soon be infecting many others in the community."
Habitat Canada's motto is 'A hand up- not a hand out', and Habitat Kelowna's mission is to achieve an Okanagan Valley where everyone has a decent place to live. Both of these aims will be supported through successful completion of this project. As well, Habitat volunteers from Kelowna and Vernon hope to contribute to the construction, along with volunteers from Revelstoke, and materials will be made available via the newly opened Habitat ReStore in West Kelowna.

Recommendation from the Page 21 of 83 Revelstoke Community Housing AgendaItem#9a.
The Housing Society is sponsoring this pilot to showcase Habitat's programs to the community and measure the interest in and fit ofthese programs in Revelstoke.
"The Housing Society knows the community will embrace Habitat for Humanity and support this pilot project," states Mark McKee, Chairman of the Revelstoke Community Housing Society Board. "We look forward to working with the project team, Habitat for Humanity Kelowna and many community supporters to make this a successful project".
Through volunteer labour, efficient management and tax-deductible donations of money and materials, Habitat for Humanity builds and rehabilitates simple, decent houses with the help of homeowner (partner) families. Habitat projects are financed with affordable, no-interest mortgages. Mortgage payments go into a revolving fund, which is used to build more homes for more families in need. Through Habitat for Humanity's ReNewlt program, existing homes can be renovated to make them safe, accessible and energy efficient, through interest-free loans to people who qualify.
A community celebration of the start of construction is planned- watch community notices for the date and time.
Revelstoke citizens can still help create a community legacy for future Habitat projects and give this family a hand up:
• Volunteer during construction- Fill out the volunteer form at http://www.homeforthehunts.com/volunteer.html, send a note to the Volunteer Coordinator at [email protected] or talk to Team members- Dean Prunkle, Geoff Battersby, Pam Doyle, Bill Shuttleworth, Joel Olsen, Bob Fournier, Dana Prunkle, Tuulikki Tennant, Cindy Pearce

City of Revelstoke Council Report
Date: May 31, 2013 To: Mayor and Council From: Alan Mason, Director of Community Economic Development Subject: Recommendations from the Enhancement Committee
1. ISSUE The Enhancement Committee is making the following recommendations to City Council. 2. RECOMMENDATIONS: THAT City Council direct staff to prepare a policy related to the installation of bike racks on public property in the City.
THAT City Council give consideration to the installation of digital (electronic) signs on the Trans-Canada Highway both east and west of the City.
3. CAO COMMENTS Reviewed. Bike Racks: Council may want to refer this to the Parks, Recreation and Culture committee for further discussion prior to further policy development. Electronic Signs: This initiative would contravene the work on signage issues to date. Significant work, including public input, has recently been put into the creation of clarifying language signage informational literature. Consideration of electronic signs will result in delays for providing this needed clarity on sign issues in the community and thus is discouraged. TP 4. BACKGROUND 4.1. Bike Racks. The Committee would like to see the same type of bike racks installed throughout the City on public property, and are recommending that the City develop a policy to ensure that this happens. 4.2. Electronic Signage. The Committee supports the installation of electronic signage on the Trans-Canada to promote events and attractions in Revelstoke. The Committee is recommending that Council gives consideration to this idea.
Recommendations from the Page 31 of 83 Enhancement Committee AgendaItem#9c.
5. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS 5.1. Bike Racks. There would be a cost for the staff time related to developing a policy on this matter ($2,000 est.). 5.2. If Council approve the installation of electronic signage on the highway, there would be significant financial implications related to the purchase, installation, operation and maintenance of the signage. Depending on the quality of the sign, each unit could cost over $50,000 to purchase and install. The funds for this could possibly come from the hotel tax and Resort Municipality Initiative programs.
6. DISCUSSION
6.1. Bike Racks. Staff believes it would be positive to have a policy that identifies the location and type of bike rack that is installed on public property in the City. This policy would also clarify that any business wishing to purchase a bike rack would purchase the rack from the city and pay an annual fee to maintain the bike rack. 6.2. Electronic Signage. Planning Department staff has advised that, while it an electronic sign contravenes the existing Sign By-law, local government may be exempt from this regulation.

City of Revelstoke Council Report
Date: June 13, 2013 To: Mayor and Council From: Mike Thomas, Director of Engineering and Public Works Subject: Request for Reallocation of Funds - Hiob Road Construction
1. ISSUE The Hiob Road Construction project has been scaled down and staff are requesting approval to reallocate the remainder of funds, $94,000.00 to paving upgrades for Victoria Road.
2. RECOMMENDATION THAT staff reallocate $94,000 from the Hiob Road Construction capital budget towards paving upgrades for Victoria Road.
3. CAO COMMENTS Agree with recommendation. TP 4. BACKGROUND 4.1. The Hiob Road reconstruction was priced to include sanitary pipe, curb, and gutter for a total budgeted cost of $233,000. 4.2.

Staff would like to reallocate the remainder $94,000 towards upgrades for Victoria Road. 5. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS 5.1. No financial implications as funds have already been budgeted for. 6. DISCUSSION
6.1. At present the City of Revelstoke Pavement Condition Report (attached) is showing that Victoria Road falls within the category Now Rehabilitate in the next 1-5 years. 6.2. Over the next 1-5 years repairs for Victoria Road would mostly consist of mill and fill which is considered minor repairs. 6.3. Should the City wait past the five year recommendation the costs to repair Victoria Road will increase considerably.

City of Revelstoke Council Report Date: June 13, 2013 To: Mayor and Council From: Mike Thomas, Director of Engineering and Public Works Subject: Request for Reallocation of Funds from the Paving Lagoon Entrance budget item 1. ISSUE Recent studies have shown that a dissolved oxygen sensor is required at the sewage treatment plant, and paving upgrades are recommended on Victoria Road. Staff is requesting to reallocate funds from the budget item paving lagoon entrance of $72,000.00 to these essential matters. $20,000.00 reallocated for the purchase of a new D.O. (Dissolved Oxygen) Sensor. $52,000.00 reallocated to paving upgrades for Victoria Road. 2. RECOMMENDATION THAT the reallocation of $20,000 from the paving lagoon entrance capital budget to the purchase of a new dissolved oxygen sensor be approved. AND THAT the reallocation of $52,000 from the paving lagoon entrance capital budget to paving upgrades for Victoria Road be approved. 3. CAO COMMENTS Agree with recommendation. TP 4. BACKGROUND Purchase of New D.O. Sensor 4.1. A consultation with OPUS Dayton and Knight has revealed that currently the dissolved oxygen level readings in cell one of the Sewage Treatment Plant are difficult to manage. 4.2. Opus Dayton and Knight have recommended that with the installation of a D.O. Sensor in Cell two more accurate readings will be provided. Paving Upgrades Victoria Road 4.3. An increase in traffic on Victoria road due to the early development of Revelstoke Mountain Resort and increased traffic from Downie Timber has caused substantial wear to Victoria Road. Page 1 of 2 Request for Reallocation of Funds Page 37 of 83 from the Paving Lagoon Entrance AgendaItem#9e. 4.4. This increased wear has moved Victoria Road into a category where upgrades are required. 5. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS 5.1. No financial implication as funds have already been budgeted for. 6. DISCUSSION Purchase of New D.O. Sensor 6.1. If cell two continues with no D.O. Sensor the City will continue to struggle with providing accurate readings in either cell. 6.2. With the installation of a new D.O. Sensor it will increase the efficiency of the blowers, as run times will shorten, therefore power consumption will be reduced. Currently the system (blowers) are on manual and run 80-100% of the time. The new D.O. Sensor would only activate blowers as needed. 6.3. The installation of a D.O. Sensor in cell #2 would also help to mitigate future odour issues from the lagoon. Paving Upgrades Victoria Road 6.4. At present the City of Revelstoke Pavement Condition Report is showing that Victoria Road falls within the category now rehabilitate in the next 1-5 years. 6.5. Over the next 1-5 years repairs for Victoria road would mostly consist of mill and fill, should the City wait past the five year recommendation the costs to repair will increase considerably. 7.

City of Revelstoke Council Report Date: June 25th, 2013 To: Mayor and Council From: Mike Thomas, Interim Director of Planning Subject: Development Variance Permit Application / Blue Loon Holdings Ltd. / 311 Campbell Avenue 1. ISSUE: The City of Revelstoke has received a Development Variance Permit (DVP) application for the property located at 311 Campbell Avenue. The DVP application is requesting to vary the minimum required off-street parking of the applicable Central Business District (C-1) zoning from 12 parking spaces to 5 parking spaces for the proposed re-use of the existing building as a hostel. 2. RECOMMENDATION: THAT the Development Variance Permit request for 311 Campbell Avenue, to vary the minimum required off-street parking from 12 spaces to 5 spaces, be approved for the proposed use as a Hostel. 3. CAO COMMENTS: Agree with recommendation. TP 4. BACKGROUND: 4.1 The proposed property is zoned Central Business District (C-1) and as per Section 12 of the Zoning Bylaw No. 1264, 2 parking stalls are required for each boarding house plus 1 for each 2 sleeping units. The residential boarding house parking requirement was chosen by staff as the closest match to the proposed use as a Hostel as there is not parking requirements listed for Hostels. Based on these off-street parking requirements the hostel requires a total of 12 spaces. The applicant is requesting to reduce the required parking to 5 spaces. 4.2 The property is located on Campbell Avenue which is Revelstoke’s main connection to the Community Centre, Centennial Park, the Illecillewaet Greenbelt and the Columbia River. Campbell Avenues’ central boulevard contains angled parking on both sides with a total of 28 extra parking spaces along the 300 block of Campbell Avenue, and curb side parallel parking is permitted on most of the block. 4.3 The frontage of the hostel lot will be modified to create a new driveway letdown near the north property line. The existing letdown will not be used, providing an additional two curb side parallel parking spaces in front of the lot. Page 1 of 3 Development Variance Permit Page 39 of 83 Application - Blue Loon Holdings AgendaItem#9f. 4.4 The site previously provided five stalls in a “strip-mall” style at the entrance of the building, which will no longer be used, enhancing the street appeal of the building. 5. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: 5.1 Section 12.5 of the Zoning Bylaw provides, at the option of Council, for money to be paid to a Municipal Reserve Fund in lieu of providing on-site parking, however for this site, due to the considerations outlined in sections four and six of this memo, staff are not recommending that council exercise this option. 5.2 There are no other known financial implications arising from the recommendation. 6. DISCUSSION: 1. Rational for the Proposed Variance: a. It will ensure the Hostel’s interface with the street is more pedestrian oriented by removing the strip mall style parking directly in front of the building and adding landscaping to soften the feel of the streetscape which is a key element to providing a safe multi-modal street with a sense of place. These changes are in line with the Official Community Plan’s Policy to “heighten its street character [Campbell Ave.], with more positive building and lot interfaces…”, and the following Development Permit Area B – Downtown Revitalization Development Permit Area policies: Buildings should engage the street with a positive pedestrian presence, reducing or eliminating car, delivery or parking dominated elements; and consistent with the urban fabric already prevalent on Mackenzie Avenue. Parking areas should not be located at the front of buildings. Underground parking and parking / service areas at the rear of buildings are strongly encouraged. Parking should be managed off-site through a transportation demand management system that encourages public parking. b. The angled parking along the central boulevard provides a large number of extra parking spaces in comparison to any other street in Revelstoke. c. It is likely that the Hostel will require significantly less parking than a boarding house, with many clients coming by bus, carshare, or in groups sharing a vehicle. d. The addition of the Hostel to the street will bring more activity and value to Campbell Avenue. e. If the two additional on-street parking spaces are counted, the variance is only reducing the number of parking spaces by five. 6.2. Potential issues with the Proposed Variance: a. The Hostel’s guests may use up street parking that could otherwise be used for tourist shopping downtown. Page 2 of 3 Development Variance Permit Page 40 of 83 Application - Blue Loon Holdings AgendaItem#9f. b. The overnight use of the street parking could make snow removal more difficult; however this has been managed in the past with regards to parking by Powder Springs’ guests and is not considered to be a problem in the near future. 6.3. Two questions that should be asked when making the decision regarding Development Variance Permit requests are: Is the requested variance reasonable and does it maintain the intent of the Zoning Bylaw? It is staff's opinion that the requested variance is reasonable and maintains the intent of the Zoning Bylaw. 7. RELEVANT LEGISLATION: 7.1 Zoning Bylaw No. 1264; and 7.2 Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 1950 8. RECOMMENDATION AND OPTIONS: 2. Recommendation: THAT the Development Variance Permit request for 311 Campbell Avenue, to vary the minimum required off-street parking from 12 spaces to 5 spaces, be approved for the proposed use as a Hostel. 8.2. Option 1: Council may consider approving or modifying the requested variance.

Council Report 5 Date: June 21 \ 2013 To: Mayor & Council From: Laurie Donato, Director of Parks, Recreation & Culture Subject: DOKK Park /1400 First Street West 1. ISSUE The City of Revelstoke has been notified by Interior Health that the Farwell Wading Pool does not meet current day requirements of filtration and automatic disinfection. 2. RECOMMENDATION THAT the DOKK Park wading pool be closed until staff investigate and budget for implementation of an automated sanitization system. 3. CAO COMMENTS Agree with recommendation. TP 4. BACKGROUND 4.1. Pool safety regulations for wading pools were amended late in 2012. 4.2. Wading pools are considered equivalent to regular pools in the new BC Pool Regulations. Operational and physical requirements are expected to reflect those of other public and commercial pools (automatic sanitization system is required). 4.3. Interior Health is willing to accept operational controls to reduce risk for the time being, until more long term solutions can be researched and implemented. 4.4. A written agreement under section 38 of the Public Health Act with the City of Revelstoke, as the owner of the wading pool is required to ensure that these exceptions are met. 5. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS 5.1. To operate the wading pool in accordance with the amended pool regulations would cost the City of Revelstoke approximately$ 140.00 I day. The cost to operate the pool for the season will be approximately $ 10,000. This does not include the cost of chemicals to treat the water. Chemical costs are currently borne by DOKK's. With the new regulations in place, these costs will be approximately $ 250 - $ 300. 6. DISCUSSION Page 1 of 2 DOKK Park - 1400 First Street Page 43 of 83 West AgendaItem#9g. 6.1. The City has an agreement in place with the Dramatic Order of the Knights of Khorrasan to operale Lhe park. The park caretaker is responsible for the operation of the pool. 6.2. Prior to opening the wading pool for public use this year, the Public Health Inspector conducted a site visit and noted that the current operation of the wading pool no longer meets the current day requirements outlined in the BC Pool Regulations. 6.3. While some requirements can be addressed. Of particular concern are the current requirements that must be met while the pool is in operation. In particular the following: • Wading pool must be filled with potable water each day of use, drained before dark and left empty overnight. 6.4. Concerns with the above noted practice are: • The amount of potable water that would be used daily is approximately 60 cubic metres. This represents 1% of the daily flow of potable water available to the City of Revelstoke. This would be a cost of $52 I day to the City of Revelstoke. • 60 cubic metres of water is then drained in to the sanitary system. This represents 2 % of the daily flows into the waste water treatment plant at a cost of$ .601cubic metre. For an overall cost of$ 88 I day to the City of Revelstoke 6.5. The option for not draining is only possible for a wading pool in which the entire volume of the pool is re-circulated in an approved filter in 2 hours or less. This condition cannot be met by the wading pool in its current state. 7. RELEVANT LEGISLATION BC Pool Regulations 8. RECOMMENDATION AND OPTIONS 8.1. Recommendation: THAT the DOKK park wading pool be closed until staff investigate and budget for the implementation of an automated sanitizatic;m system. 8.2. Option 1: Council could direct staff to operate the pool in accordance to the new regulations. Page 2 of 2 DOKK Park - 1400 First Street Page 44 of 83 West AgendaItem#10a.

TAP WATER ALLIANCE Caring for, Monitoring, and Protecting British Columbia’s Community Water Supply Sources P.O. Box #39154, 3695 West 10th Ave., Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. V6R-1G0 Email – [email protected] Website – www.bctwa.org June 4, 2013 Mayor and Council, Revelstoke City Re: Watershed Reserve Tenure Status of Greeley Creek Dear Mayor and Council, In recent concerns raised with the provincial government on the protection status of BC’s drinking watershed sources in southwest BC, (http://www.bctwa.org/PrRel-Mar21-2013- DemotingReserves.pdf ) we subsequently began conducting a background check on all of BC’s drinking watersheds. We thereby discovered that the Watershed Reserve tenure status that protected Greeley Creek, by way of a Section 16 Map Reserve under the Land Act, is no longer status registered as such with the Ministry of Lands in its data system (Front Counter, Cranbrook Region). Without such a registered reserve tenure status, Greeley Creek is unprotected, and is therefore vulnerable to inadvertent dispositions, such as the current “adventure tourism” tenure application within portions of the lower Greeley community watershed (Application File No. 4405329). We are familiar with the general protection history file of Greeley Creek. A contextualized narrative on this history is about to be published in our upcoming report on the history of the Big Eddy Waterworks District. (http://www.bctwa.org/BigEddyPreview-WatershSent.pdf ) The following is an outline of the protection history of Greeley Creek: Following entreaties by the Revelstoke Board of Trade and the City in 1909-1910, the federal government protected Greeley Creek with a statutory Departmental Reserve in 1917 from logging, access and commercial uses, fourteen years before Greeley was tapped as a water source. That Reserve was created when Revelstoke City was situated in the Railway Belt lands, also referred to as the Forty Mile Limit. In 1930, when the Railway Belt lands were reverted to the provincial government, the status of Greeley Creek remained as a protected Reserve. In 1946, when a Timber Sale proposal was forwarded to the BC Forest Service, and after letters of referral about the proposal were sent by the Kamloops District Forest Manager to both the City and the City’s Health Officer for consideration and comment, the Forest Service rejected the said Timber Sale because of Greeley Creek’s status as a Watershed Reserve. 1 Department of Lands, Forests, Page 57 of 83 and Water Resources Re: AgendaItem#10d. In 1969, when the City of Revelstoke was confronted with a tenure proposal for “horse riding trails” in the Greeley drainage, the City asked the Department of Lands, Forests and Water Resources to help protect the watershed. The City stated that it could not locate its files on the protection tenure history of Greeley Creek. According to government records, the Greeley Creek Reserve file had somehow been misplaced, and another Reserve, a Section 16 Map Reserve, was re-established over Greeley Creek on August 25, 1969, which protected the watershed from the said recreation tenure application. (See attached Files) When the provincial Task Force on community watersheds (1972-1980) created and re- created Watershed Reserves for BC’s water purveyors from 1973 following, Greeley Creek was on a June 1973 list of 63 Watershed Reserves that were established over the West Kootenays. According to the Greeley Creek Reserve file (No. 0291521), the Reserve was recognized in a memo as the one re-established as such in 1969. In a recent inspection of a provincial list of Watershed Reserves forwarded to the B.C. Tap Water Alliance in late 1997, both Greeley Creek and Dolan Creek (Big Eddy) were not included. Similarly, in a May 2013 list of provincial Watershed Reserves, Greeley and Dolan were also absent. We would advise the City of Revelstoke to make immediate inquiries with both the Ministry of Lands and the Ministry of Environment about the Reserve status history of Greeley Creek, and to immediately request the government to reinstate or re-register Greeley Creek as either a Section 16 Map Reserve, or as a Section 15 Order-in-Council Reserve, over its hydrographic boundaries in order to protect your vital interests. Sincerely, Will Koop, Coordinator. 2 Department of Lands, Forests, Page 58 of 83 and Water Resources Re: AgendaItem#10d.

It was a while coming, but we were finally able to relocate to our new location. We were informed on December 6, 2012 that we had to be out of our current location on Dec 21, 2102. Since, we had little time to find another location; we moved the whole depot and the medical equipment back to Kelowna. The School District did end up finding us a new location to move into in Revelstoke and that occurred on March 20, 2013. We are now set up and operational in our new facility at 1401 West 1st Street (former Farwell School). It is a wonderful space, lots of room and we have found new volunteers that are providing assistance to clients in Revelstoke on Men, Wed and Fridays from 1Oam -2pm. Your donation of $2000.00 was very much appreciated for this move our total costs were close to $6000.00. r~:) l! ·JIIL'If-~),· r1 ,:~I_? ~~:! ~11t '),J-~ f '(;;~ e :j.l- .., [ -1 •.-l·J!
