  • Staff Report
    STAFF REPORT DATE: September 3, 2021 FILE: 0540-04 EASC TO: Chair and Directors, Electoral Area Services Committee FROM: Dave Leitch Chief Administrative Officer RE: COMMUNITY RESILIENCY INVESTMENT - GRANT OPPORTUNITY PURPOSE To consider an application to the Community Resiliency Investment grant program of the Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM) to further the Regional District’s efforts to reduce wildfire risks. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Community Resiliency Investment (CRI) grant is a provincial program intended to reduce the risk and impact of wildfires on communities in BC. The general goal of FireSmart is to encourage communities and citizens to adopt and conduct FireSmart practices to mitigate the negative impacts of wildfire to public and private property assets. The program can contribute up to 100% of the cost of eligible activities provided the application has a Council or Board resolution indicating support for the proposed activities and a willingness to provide overall grant management. Regional Districts may submit a single application for eligible, collaborative projects that include multiple electoral areas. The maximum base funding for fuel management is $50,000 plus up to $50,000 for FireSmart activities for each electoral area. All local governments (municipalities and regional districts) and First Nations (bands and Treaty First Nations) in BC are eligible to apply. Eligible applicants may submit one application per intake. The deadline for the next intake of applications is October 8, 2021. It is proposed that an application be submitted by the Regional District to undertake a number of FireSmart activities in each electoral area as outlined below in detail. If approved, it is anticipated that 100% of the total costs of the FireSmart activities would be covered by the grant award.

  • Baseline Inventory – Village of Cumberland Forest Lands
    PREPARED FOR THE VILLAGE OF CUMBERLAND by Tim Ennis Latitude Conservation Solutions Company BASELINE INVENTORY – VILLAGE OF CUMBERLAND FOREST LANDS August 2019 Baseline Inventory - Village of Cumberland Forest Lands Executive Summary The Corporation of the Village of Cumberland (the Village) owns 229.5 hectares (567.1 acres) of land in seven parcels within the municipal boundaries of the Village of Cumberland which it manages for the storage and conveyance of drinking water (the Lands). The Lands include the Stevens Lake Reservoir, Hamilton Lake Reservoir, #2 Reservoir and Henderson Lake. Each of these are connected sequentially by Cumberland Creek, a tributary of Perseverance Creek. The Lands also include the Allen Lake Reservoir which drains directly into Perseverance Creek. Approximately 65 hectares (160 acres) of the Lands (28%) are outside of the Cumberland Creek and Allen Lake drainages, and therefore do not contribute to the Village’s drinking water supply watersheds. These areas primarily drain through an unnamed creek (locally known as Lookout Creek) and thence into Perseverance Creek downstream of the Village’s water supply infrastructure. The Lands are located at the northern tip of the Beaufort Range in the Comox Valley, extending from roughly 650 meters above sea-level (masl) in the vicinity of Steven’s Lake to 300 masl at the downstream end of Cumberland Creek and in the vicinity of Allen Lake are approximately 250 masl. The topography is varied, and includes depressions and the toe of slopes, deeply incised canyons, and rolling hills. The Lands occur within the Coastal Western Hemlock biogeoclimatic zone and span three subzones/variants.
