JOHN’S UNITED CHURCH O229 -)2 Sunshine Coast PISTRICTOF SFCHETT April 12, 2015 Mayor Bruce Mime District of Sechelt P. 0. Box 129 Sechelt, BC VON 3AO Dear Mr. Mayor, On April 26, St. John’s United Church in Sechelt will be celebrating the pay off of the mortgage on our building! This huge accomplishment has been the result of a lot of hard work and significant donations by our members over the past decade. Their generosity has allowed us to not only continue worshiping in a beautiful, multi-functional space, but also to provide a place for a wide variety of other Sunshine Coast organizations to meet and accomplish their goals on a routine basis. Groups that benefit from use of space at St. John’s include the La Leche League for Young Mothers, the Vancouver Coastal Health Acquired Brain Injury Support Group, a Prostate Cancer Support Group, the Tetrahedron Outdoor Club, Weight Watchers, Sappho Circle, the Canadian Federation of University Women, and others. We will be celebrating this important milestone in our history on April 26 at 10:00 a.m. followed by a barbeque lunch and other festivities. We invite you to join us on this joyous occasion as we celebrate the far reaching effects of this achievement, not only for St. John’s congregation, but also for the community at large. Blessings & peace, Ct’ 2(,n__— Cheryl Palm Chair of Council St. John’s United Church — Sunshine Coast 5085 Dais Bay Read, Sechelt, B.C.DistrictVON 3A2 of SecheltTel: 604-885-9822 Fec 604-885-5011 Council Correspondence April 17-23, 2015 Page 2 From: MI Nixon [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, April 17, 2015 9:19 AM To: Council; Information Request; Fin Anthony Cc: John Gleeson; [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: A good meeting... well done. Dear Mayor and Council, We were pleased at the way, through proper questioning by Council at the regular meeting on April 15th, it was established that the following is now evident to all; 1.There is no contract ensuring the purchase of reclaimed water from our Wastewater Treatment Facility. 2. There is no contract guaranteeing financial contribution to, or participation in the cost of a pipeline in which to carry reclaimed water from our treatment facility. 3. There are no complete accurate estimates for the costs of the land development and recommended features involving the "old" sewage treatment plant and its adjacent property. This question should be considered; If Sechelt is to pay for "experimental research" to find the the "best practice" solution to the problems the world has in the treatment of sewage from treatment facilities everywhere, should we not first discover what research is being done, what research has been done by any other jurisdiction, research company, University, accredited scientist, etc. without bias?

The tourism industry in the Vancouver Island Region is a vast and interwoven network of tourism businesses, industry organizations, and government agencies all working together to grow and sustain a dynamic industry. Tourism is everyone’s business and everyone needs to play their part by applying knowledge, expertise and resources to achieve the best outcomes for a flourishing industry and visitor economy.

  • Lillooet Between Sechelt and Shuswap Jan P. Van Eijk First
    Lillooet between Sechelt and Shuswap Jan P. van Eijk First Nations University of Canada Although most details of the grammatical and lexical structure of Lillooet put this language firmly within the Interior branch of the Salish language family, Lillooet also shares some features with the Coast or Central branch. In this paper we describe some of the similarities between Lillooet and one of its closest Interior relatives, viz., Shuswap, and we also note some similarities be­ tween Lillooet and Sechelt, one of Lillooet' s western neighbours but belonging to the Coast branch. Particular attention is paid to some obvious loans between Lillooet and Sechelt. 1 Introduction Lillooet belongs with Shuswap to the Interior branch of the Salish language family, while Sechelt belongs to the Coast or Central branch. In what follows we describe the similarities and differences between Lillooet and both Shuswap and Sechelt, under the following headings: Phonology (section 2), Morphology (3), Lexicon (4), and Lillooet-Sechelt borrowings (5). Conclusions are given in 6. I omit a comparison between the syntactic patterns of these three languages, since my information on Sechelt syntax is limited to a brief text (Timmers 1974), and Beaumont 1985 is currently unavailable to me. Although borrowings between Lillooet and Shuswap have obviously taken place, many of these will be impossible to trace due to the close over-all resemblance between these two languages. Shuswap data are mainly drawn from the western dialects, as described in Kuipers 1974 and 1975. (For a description of the eastern dialects I refer to Kuipers 1989.) Lillooet data are from Van Eijk 1997, while Sechelt data are from Timmers 1973, 1974, 1977.

  • Vancouver Island and Sunshine Coast Region Air Transportation Outlook I
    Vancouver Island and Sunshine Coast Region Air Transportation Outlook Final Report strategic transportation & tourism solutions Prepared by InterVISTAS Consulting Inc. June 17, 2008 June 17, 2008 Confidential Vancouver Island and Sunshine Coast Region Air Transportation Outlook i Executive Summary InterVISTAS Consulting Inc. was retained by the Vancouver Island Economic Developers Association (VIEDA) to develop a Vancouver Island and Sunshine Coast Region Air Transportation Outlook. Most airports in Canada and all but one of the airports in the study area are managed by independent authorities or by municipal councils of the communities they serve. These airports are free to participate in any market sector in which they see opportunity: as defined and sanctioned by their Board’s mission, vision and strategic plan for their community’s airport. Key factors that govern and shape decisions around market participation are: ■ Market opportunities in terms of underserved regions, low levels of service and the airport’s competitive positioning in that sector based on market analysis ■ The operational capability of the airport to participate in target markets ■ A business case that supports the investment to enter target markets The InterVISTAS’ approach and methodology for this study was shaped by these considerations. The report assesses levels of service by defined regions and market sectors, identifies current levels of service, assesses airports’ capabilities in the region and recommends development subject to detailed business case analysis. Section 2 of the report presents an overview of the socio-economic and demographic characteristics of the seven major Regional Districts contained in the study area. The data shows significant forecast population growth for the Central Island Regional Districts of Nanaimo, Comox/Strathacona and the Cowichan Valley as well as the Sunshine Coast Regional District (Gibsons/Sechelt).

The primary purpose of this study was to provide a scientific basis for establishing guidelines on the use and placement of creosote treated wood in sensitive marine aquatic habitats under ‘worst case’ conditions. The study focused on the chemical and biological effects from newly installed six- piling dolphins constructed with used pilings treated by conventional methods and pilings freshly treated with techniques designed to produce a cleaner and more environmentally sensitive product by placing them in a natural undisturbed location, free from outside sources of contamination.

  • The Sechelt Indian Band: an Analysis of a New Form of Native Self Government
    THE SECHELT INDIAN BAND: AN ANALYSIS OF A NEW FORM OF NATIVE SELF GOVERNMENT CAROL E. ETKIN Faculty Of Environmental Studies, Yo r k U n i ve r s i t y Downsview, Ontario, Canada, M3J 1P3. ABSTRACT/RESUME In 1984 the Sechelt Indian Band of British Columbia became the first indigenous Band in Canada to develop its own consti- tution and to withdraw the lands of the reserve from the Indian Act. This article studies the process which leads to Native Self Government, and the structure of the new government. En 1984, la bande Sechelt de la Colombie britannique devint la première bande autochtone du Canada à développer sa propre constitution et à retirer les terres de la réserve de l'Acte Indien. Cet article étudie le processus qui mène à l'autonomie, et la structure du nouveau gouvernement. 74 Carol E. Etkin Introduction The Sechelt Band in British Columbia has recently regained self- government through special federal and provincial enabling legisla- tion. This paper will examine this unique legislative solution to one Band's search for self-determination. The paper will look at various concepts of self-government and aboriginal rights to set the context for the following discussion. Varying concepts of land tenure and land holding will be viewed. The paper will look at the Sechelt Band, who they are and how they came to create this new level of government in Canada. The legal framework which enabled this third level of government to come into existence will be examined in light of the powers, responsibilities, and duties that were redistributed among the Fed- eral Government, Province and Band.

PURPOSE To provide Council with background information and recommendations regarding the feasibility of a business licensing program for Bowen Island. DIRECTION FROM COUNCIL This report responds to Council Resolution #16-249 (July 25, 2016): That Council direct the Economic Development Committee to include in its 2017 work plan the feasibility of implementing municipal business licensing and report back to Council with those recommendations by April 2017. The April 2017 due date was revised, given turnover in the membership of the Economic Development Committee and a delay in establishing the Business Licensing Task Force. BACKGROUND The Community Charter gives a municipal council the ability to adopt a bylaw that requires business licensing within its jurisdiction. Business licensing programs are generally intended to • help ensure public health and safety • help ensure businesses are accountable for their actions • increase knowledge and understanding of the economy and businesses in a community • help provide adequate data for planning purposes, and • enable business networking and promotion According to 2016 statistics from the then Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development, there are 162 municipalities in British Columbia and almost all require business licences.
