Committee-of-the-Whole - 16 May 2017 Page 3 of 158 Music in the Landing TOWN OF GIBSONS – MUSIC IN THE LANDING

History of Music in the Landing:

Many towns have summer ʻmusic in the parksʼ programs. In Gibsons, we have Music in the Landing. The programme started in 2003 after a local resident, Don Chapman approached the Town of Gibsons with the idea of providing live music in outdoor locations for the community to enjoy. He donated $5,000.00 towards paying the performers. TOG decided to match the fund to pay coordinators for the program. The organizers of the program reach out to the local business to pay for advertising in local papers for the program.

The purpose of the program is to present live musical outdoor performances around the Landing during summer weekends from the end of June until early September with the last weekend Saturday evening show collaborating with the Sunshine Coast Film Society for Starlight Film Night. In a fun and festive way, it brings people together and adds to the experience of being in a creative, friendly community. It adds to the economy of businesses operating in the Landing as it draws people to linger, shop, visit a gallery or enjoy a restaurant. It provides support to the local musical community by providing venues for performances, and to raise the profile of the excellence of Sunshine Coast performing artists.

Music in the Landing provides a chance to connect with and get to know new friends and neighbours, and to celebrate ‘the best town in the world!’ For tourists it makes Gibsons a special and memorable place - not just beautiful in it’s setting, but with it’s own friendly, artistic culture and personality. It has become a Town of Gibsons programme the community, businesses and local musicians look forward too each summer.

Organizer: Since the first year in 2003, Linda Williams and Graham Walker shared the co-ordinator duties. In 2016 Graham Walker no longer was involved and the program was ran by Linda Williams who hired PA/tech/tent assistants from her salary. She continued the established a well organized format that ensured all details are well looked after. With hundreds of performers to contact and schedule, advertising, equipment, signage, posters, finances, and other duties, each weekend requires much follow through to ensure all goes smoothly. The co-ordinator’s goal is to make sure the program is ‘professional’ in every way, and to keep everyone happy; the audience, the performers, and local businesses.

Process and Details:

(1) Financial Administration & Budget: Honorariums are provided to musicians. Bookkeeping - receipts are given and signed for each payment to musicians with records kept of all expenses and payments. A donation basket is used at each performance with the money going directly to the performers. The audience is very generous and adds to the financial value to the performers. It proves to be a real-time response to the audience appreciation for the artist.

Page 4 of 158 Committee of the Whole Meeting Agenda (2) Promotion and Advertising the Program : With no advertising budget, promotion includes: postering, signboards, articles in local newspapers, sponsored advertising by local businesses, social media and e-Newsletters.

(3) Equipment and Stage Management : A large part of the job is to make sure there is proper equipment for each concert. This ranges from a small portable P.A. system, signs, and a shade umbrella for street buskers, to setting up a tent-stage and a major P.A. system for larger concerts, often provided by the organizers. There is a great deal of hauling equipment back and forth, up and down the dock, in and out of vans, setting up and taking down, sometimes in drizzle and after dark. The street signs have to be moved around the Landing to the various venues. PA is now provided by organizers or musicians as the Town of Gibsons PA is inadequate for most gigs.

(4) Select Venues and schedules for performances :

(5) Select and Hire Musicians : The goal of the co-ordinator is to present musicians of high quality, covering a wide variety of styles, of broad interest, to as many people as possible. It has become a job requiring much diplomacy, as the desire from musicians to participate grows. Performing in Music in the Landing has become important to many musicians and groups as a sign of ‘Official Recognition’, and an acknowledgment of quality. It also means having a good audience in a beautiful public venue, and seeing your name in advertisements and posters. The demand to be part of the summer’s schedule now means that the program is booked early in the season and not all musicians are able to be accommodated. Dealing with aspirations and disappointments as to who does or doesn’t perform has become part of the co-ordinator’s job that takes tact to handle.

The program tries to balance this demand by providing at least one concert for each of the main styles of music, including folk, jazz, concert bands, world music, a youth showcase, a teen showcase, and even some LOUD rock and roll. As much as possible, musicians are selected for their overall appeal to a wide audience, to be enjoyable to the ‘general public’.

Advertising and Promotion:

Coast Reporter and columnists Sponsored Ads in Coast Reporter & the Local Visitors Map Guide Purple Banner Guide The Medicine Shoppe Other newsletter publications Sunshine Coast Tourism CCA Arts and Culture Calendar Sandwich Boards Facebook, Instagram & other social media coverage TOG website many other website calendars Cable 11 TV Visitors Information Centre Weekly email newsletter posters throughout community

Media : An established good relationship with local media and providing them with lots of photos and advance notices; helps ensure we receive excellent coverage in the events and ‘what’s on’ columns. E- Newsletters go out to 1400+ contacts each week before the show to visitor centres, B&B’s, any tourism outlets and an extended list of requests. Note : in 2012 we started posting images of EVERY show on facebook in yearly albums which has created an excellent archive of performers and performances in the many stunning locations in the Landing. http://www.facebook.com/Music.Landing

Page 5 of 158 Committee of the Whole Meeting Agenda Posters: The attractive ‘permanent’ poster, using local artist Sa Boothroyd’s delightful art, is posted all summer long and gave a colourful and exciting look to the program. We continued placing our ‘weekly’ posters and sandwich boards for information on the upcoming weekend. We thank Gaia’s Fair Trade Shop, and the Info Centre for their daily care of the sandwich boards.

Newspaper Ads: It is always a challenge to get local sponsors this year for the newspaper ads therefore they were much smaller. The past two years we have been sharing a co-op ad with the Sechelt Summer Music Series. With the developed relationship with the local papers, the columnists and free events listings added to the press.

EQUIPMENT

P. A. System: The Town’s P.A. is rarely used. In 2016 techs with their own PA were hired for the organizer's salary to set up the tents and provide and run the PA.

Tents: The 10 x 15 tent is in poor shape but still suitable for most performances on the small ʻupperʼ stage area in Winegarden Park. This is the most useable area for audiences, as it is relatively flat, with good sight lines and visible from the Bus Stop for pedestrians walking by. The TOG 10 x 10 tent was perfect for use at the Sunday Market area and Pioneer Square. The co-ordinator provided large umbrellas for shade and stools for seating.

Winegarden Park Rotary Canopy: The canopy is rarely used except in the case of a larger orchestra.

VENUES - Schedule:

Friday Afternoon 1:30 - 3:30pm: Dougall Park - Solo artists/ Buskers.

Friday Evenings 7:00 – 8:00pm: Music in the Gazebo on the Dock - Classical, Jazz, Dance, Folk. A more beautiful stage would be hard to find! The co-ordinators bring in many folding stools to accommodate some seating.

Saturdays 11a.m. - 1:00pm: Pioneer Square - Lightly amplified rock, jazz, and folk groups.

Saturday Evening Concert 7:00 – 8:30pm: Winegarden Park - Featuring outstanding and professional local musicians, from Jazz to Bluegrass to Global music. Double bills are often held as well as a special BC Day performance.

Sundays 11:00 a.m. to 1:00pm: The ʻSundial Stageʼ at the Sunday Market - Duos, trios, and groups, lightly amplified to project over the traffic noise, and into the market and add to the street ambience and enjoyment of shoppers and merchants.

Budget in 2016: $ 15,000.00 ($6,750 to Linda Williams) ($8,250 to musicians)

Town of Gibsons 474 South Fletcher Road Gibsons BC, V0N 1V0 re: 22nd Annual Gibsons Landing Jazz Festival June 16-17-18, 2017

The Gibsons Landing Jazz Festival being held June 16-18 this year has become an established major festival on the Sunshine Coast and is now preparing for its twenty second season. The festival is produced by volunteers of the non-profit Sunshine Coast Jazz & Entertainment Society.

We bring national and international musicians of the highest quality to our festival and include our established local groups and musicians. Opening night will be held at St Bart's Church. The professional stage for the Saturday ’Street Festival' on Gower Point Road has raised the profile of the event (and last year kept the musicians dry) and the 2nd stage and street performers are a huge success. We will have a full afternoon of music including new local musician Daniel Brubeck on the main stage and include the local Chat/Elphi Jazz Band on the 2nd stage. There will be community, craft and food vendors to compliment local businesses. There will also be a kids area and again collaborate with the Sea Cavalcade to provide a beer tent, complete with festival hot dogs. Festival tents for the audience are provided to adapt to any weather.

The weekend will also include a Saturday night dance at the Gibsons Legion, an evening dinner jazz show collaborating with the Voyagers Paddle group at the Gibsons Public Market, the well loved Sunday Jazz Brunch, a free afternoon Sunday Festival in Winegarden Park and Jazz Vespers at St. Bart’s Church. We continue to have live entertainment at local venues during ‘Jazz Week’ proceeding the festival weekend. This is very popular and an opportunity to showcase more of our local musicians selling out local restaurant venues during the week.

The Society sponsors a series of music concerts and dances during the course of the year to support and raise awareness of the performing arts and to fundraise for the festival.

We want to thank the Town of Gibsons for their support of the annual Gibsons Landing Jazz Festival in the past and look forward to your continued support in the coming year(s). We have expanded our marketing both off and on the Coast, raising the profile of Gibsons as a great place to live, work and visit.

If you would like more information about the festival, please contact us, and visit our website at www.coastjazz.com.

Yours sincerely,

Linda Williams, director Sunshine Coast Jazz and Entertainment Society

Page 18 of 158 Committee of the Whole Meeting Agenda Describe how the project will benefit the Town of Gibsons: The project benefits presenters, residents, businesses and the entire community as a marketing tool by including all the events and workshops presented within the Town of Gibsons. Calendars are delivered to the Visitor Centres, Gibsons Public Library and Community Recreation Centre, to the ferry ambassadors and to over 30 other outlets within Gibsons, and throughout the Sunshine Coast and the Lower Mainland. The Calendar is easily accessible for tourists and community members.

PROJECT TITLE 2. The Sunshine Coast Art Crawl Request: $900

Project Description: an annual free self-directed three-day art studio and gallery tour held in October. The Art Crawl includes a free full-colour printed brochure with maps. We provide extensive road directional signage to the individual venues. Our social media expert provides Facebook, lnstagram, Twitter and YouTube coverage before, during and after the Crawl. Each year, the number of followers increases. The Art Crawl has grown from 75 venues, 6,000 studio visits and $30,000 in sales in 2010 to 130 venues, more than 35,000 studio visits and over $268,000 in recorded sales in 2016. The 130 venues featured over 305 individual local artists. The follow up sales, commissions and workshop bookings are very significant (over $30,000 reported in 2016) and are not included in this total.

Purpose of the Project: a) to provide and coordinate an event for our member artists and artisans where they can present and sell their product without leaving their homes and business studios b) to introduce the local community and tourists to our vibrant and high-quality artistic community and to give them an opportunity to meet and to purchase directly from the artist c) to contribute spin-off sales to local businesses and accommodation providers d) to enable participants to discover the many hidden studios, businesses and opportunities on the Sunshine Coast

People who will be carrying out the project: Linda Williams, Carol Stewart, Shelley Harrison Rae, Lee Turnbull, Verna Chan, Carol Doyle, Elaine Seepish, Ruth Rodgers, plus many other volunteers.

Dates and Location of the Project: October 20, 21, & 22 2017 from Langdale to Earle's Cove.

Describe how the project will benefit the Town of Gibsons: In the 2016 Art Crawl, 26 of the 130 venues were located in the Town of Gibsons; another 24 were immediately adjacent to the Town. Local galleries and businesses are enthusiastic participants. Many tourists come directly to Gibsons from the ferry as their first stop on the Crawl; Gibsons venues are very well visited. The weekend contributes to the economic well-being of Gibsons by boosting sales in local restaurants and shops and increasing accommodation bookings. Local artist realize significant sales and commissions.

In 2017, we plan to increase our off-coast advertising in order to attract new visitors. These crawlers contribute to the local economy, frequenting shops and restaurants and staying in local accommodation.

The Art Crawl creates an awareness of the vibrancy and quality of the arts on the Sunshine Coast; this enhances our cultural tourism throughout the year. The Crawl provides a direct connection between the public and artists and reinforces the sense of and appreciation for our community. Engagement with the artists educates the public about how, where and why artists do what they do and can inspire others to think creatively. The Crawl helps the public to identify with their community and develop a sense of pride not only in the community itself but in their place within it.

The Sunshine Coast Art Crawl, organized by Coast Cultural Alliance, continues to grow. Studio and gallery participation included 130 venues representing more than 350 individual artists spread along the Sunshine Coast from Langdale to Earls Cove. This year there were 41 new venues including many more group shows which kept the interest high for returning Crawlers. The addition of Powell River artists showing in Roberts Creek was so popular last year they came back this year with even more artists and rented the additional space at Masonic Hall with 1,660 total attendance recorded. Venues hosted more than 35,000 venue visits over 3 days, up from 27,000 in 2015, a 30% increase, resulting in more than $268,000 in sales up from $218,000 in 2015, an increase of23%. In addition there were more than $30,000 in commissions plus many after sales and people signing up for future arts workshops.

The Travel Ambassadors volunteered for 2 sailings each on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning and distributed brochures and information to more than 350 passengers specifically interested in the Art Crawl. Certified Folder racked the Art Crawl brochure in 3 BC Ferries routes during the month of October. This year 8,000 brochures were printed, up from last year's 7,500 and all were distributed.

Artists reported a large increase in the number of off-Coast visitors attending, specifically visiting to attend the Crawl. They also noticed many new Sunshine Coast residents who have purchased homes here taking advantage of a great way to get to know their new community ... and make purchases for their new homes. Guests were identified from the Vancouver area, communities across the Lower Mainland, , Sea to Sky, all across Canada, Seattle, Bellingham, Oregon area and many international visits. (A complete list attached) It was again stated there was a large number of people who did not sign in. Participation in the passport prize campaign was still very high and increased over last year.

Describe your organization, its mandate, program and membership:

Officially incorporated on January 2ih, 2016, the Coast Rogue Arts Society (CRAS) is a registered non­ profit that is focused on true community building. By utilizing broad-based platforms that encompass a wide range of mediums and involves engagement with a diversity of residents representing a wide range of demographics, we work to bridge social and economic gaps that have left people on the outside of cultural experiences on the Sunshine Coast.

CRAS has a clear mission: to increase the well-being of the Sunshine Coast through the arts. By providing multi-medium based arts oriented forums, such as a festival, we aim to inspire creativity and increase involvement in the arts; by offering a broader definition of the arts, we aim to foster social inclusion; by working with and promoting collaboration between individuals, groups, non-profits, organizations, business and government, we aim to promote a collaborative spirit; and by searching out alternative practices, we aim to advocate for environmental sustainability within the arts.

Our immediate goals as an organization are to:

• Cultivate relationships with other Sunshine Coast based non-profit, social, environmental and arts organizations and individuals for cross-pollination of ideas and collaboration • Establish a network of funders and supporters • Implement a community based arts festival that has positive and measurable social and economic effects on The Sunshine Coast

Our long term goals as an organization are to:

• Create a sustainable destination festival with significant economic and social implications • Initiate and develop additional community-engaged arts programming on The Sunshine Coast such as a winter concert and arts series • Become an exemplary arts organization, using self-designed services as the primary revenue source

The Coast Rogue Arts Society consists of an all-female, 6-member Board of Directors:

Marika Albert- Board President- Executive Director for the Community Social Planning Council of Greater Victoria, musician, stage manager, and volunteer theatre teacher for children on the aut ism spectrum

Describe the project or program that you are applying for assistance for:

Rogue Arts Festival

Project Description:

The Rogue Arts Festival is a 3-day, outdoor, multidisciplinary arts festival taking place from August 25- 27 in 2017. Happening on The Clarke Farms in Wilson Creek, BC, Rogue Fest provides a platform for a wide variety of people from different demographics who may not have had the opportunity before, to come together in an inclusive and creative space to foster connection and community. The festival offers programming that appeals to a wide range of people, allowing many to enjoy and participate with the event on whatever 1evel they are comfortable doing so.

In addition to on-site artisan, food, and beverage vendors, the festival programming will include:

• The Workshop Series: A series of workshops led by local and BC based groups on a range of topics (i.e. local conservation, soap felting, Make your own Bat House) • MainStage Music: Professional music presented on the Rogue Fest Main Stage including Collective Sets • The Creation Series: Workshops and demos for all ages taught by local and BC based individuals • Rogue Art Gallery: A curated on-site gallery highlighting local professional visual artists • work • Creation Station: A semi-programmed art zone with easy to follow Make-It-Yourself projects (with trained volunteers to assist) targeted towards people 8+ years

COAST fl f. ARTS SOCIETY 1510 PARK ROAD, ROBERTS CREEK, BC VoN 2W2 /l EFEST.CA

Page 28 of 158 Committee of the Whole Meeting Agenda • Human Foosball: A life sized interactive foosball installation where people are the game. • LIVE! On Site!: Sing-a-longs, yoga in the morning, shadow puppet multi-media shows, professional-grade telescopes for star gazing (with volunteers who know what to look for)

Other programs at the festival will include our:

Environmental Awareness Program

The Rogue Arts Festival takes our potential environmental impact seriously. One of our mandates as both a non-profit society as well as a festival is \\To advocate for environmentally sustainable practices and alternatives within the arts." The festival will concentrate its efforts on providing alternative transportation methods for festival goers, minimizing the use of disposable items, and educating festival-goers on our on-site recycling and composting systems.

Community Outreach Ticket Program

Social inclusion is central to our work. Although The Rogue Arts Festival will have very accessible ticket prices, we recognize that there are members of our community who do not have the resources to attend no matter what the price. In recognition of this, we developed our Community Outreach Ticket Program.

The Rogue Arts Festival will be offering a selection of social service based organizations throughout the Sunshine Coast complimentary tickets so they can help facilitate members coming and enjoying the festival who wouldn't be able to otherwise.

The Clarke Farm is a large working farm that is situated in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR). The Rogue Arts Festival has worked with the Clarke family to secure permission to have the festival on the farm, and to develop health, safety and emergency plans that meet the requirements of local governments, and the ALC. The ALC has granted CRAS a 3-year non-farm use permit for one large event annually on the Clarke Farm. As Wilson Creek is located within in the District of Sechelt, CRAS also had to obtain permission from the District to legally produce a large event, with on-site camping. In addition to obtaining use permits from the District, the festival has reached out to all the neighbouring properties and has the support of the local Fire Departments and First Responders.

Purpose of Project:

The Coast Rogue Arts Society (CRAS) was formed to foster social inclusion, promote multi-disciplinary interactive art, and support community economic development activities on the Sunshine Coast. Formed in January 2016, the talented (all female) CRAS Board of Directors and Festival Coordinators have years of experience producing successful large-scale multidisciplinary arts events.

Art is defined as, \\the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination". So, who does that include? We believe it can include everyone. And one of the best ways to facilitate the co-creation

COAST fl f. ARTS SOCIETY 1510 PARK ROAD, ROBERTS CREEK, BC VoN 2W2 R UlFEST.CA

Page 29 of 158 Committee of the Whole Meeting Agenda of art that is inclusive and geared towards social change is to provide the platform for a larger community gathering space to bring together Sunshine Coast residents to encourage a cross pollination of arts, ideas and community building. The annual Rogue Arts Festival provides this community space. Multi-disciplinary arts activities, with strong interactive components appeal to multi­ generational groups -which is exactly what the Rogue Festival is all about.

CRAS and the Rogue Arts Festival are committed to social inclusion and environmental sustainability, and believe that bringing people together in an engaging and fun environment is the best way to build community and create change, while also providing economic stimulation to the local economy. The festival involves local artisans, musicians, food trucks, and small bustnesses, who benefit as much as the festival goers. The society and the festival also rely on the participation of many volunteers. Their dedication to the vision of the Rogue Festival, and their hard work in co-creating this community event, is at the core of CRAS 1s purpose and goals.

Festival initiatives such as the Community Outreach Ticket Program are also an integral component of the overall mission of CRAS and the Rogue Arts Festival. To facilitate community inclusion, we work with our community partners to provide free tickets to people who may not otherwise be able to afford to attend the festival. Additionally, we are conscious of keeping our ticket prices low and facilitating group rates to ensure all community members are able to participate.

The Environmental Awareness Program and the Zero Waste Initiative puts into action the Festival 1s goals of utilizing sustainable practices and advocating for environmentally progressive alternatives. Alongside the zero waste policy guidelines, the Workshop Series includes local experts focused on alternative energy sources and how consumers can lower their environmental impact. Additionally, we encourage rideshares, shuttle rides and ensure our site is bike-friendly and accessible via public transit to facilitate transportation alternatives for festival patrons.

One of the outcomes we are working toward is the creation of an inclusive, zero waste festival alongside opportunities to participate in interactive multi-disciplinary arts activities.

The Clarke Farm has been booked for Friday August 25-27 2017 and festival organization is well underway. While the festival is an all-ages event, there will be an application for an all-site liquor license. Our Artistic Director, Production Manager, and Beer Garden Coordinator are very experienced in applying and a proven track record of successfully facilitating these types of festival liquor licenses.

By moving sites in 2017, the Rogue Arts Festival has secured on-site camping. This allows for expanded programming and revenue streams, while providing more accommodation options for festival goers.

As well as the many in-kind donations the festival has already secured, we are exploring all possible avenues of funding available. The festival has moved from a completely volunteer run event in 2016 to supplying some small honourariums in 2017. We are proud to start being able to make headway in creating job opportunities.

Page 31 of 158 Committee of the Whole Meeting Agenda Describe how the project will benefit the Town of Gibsons:

In addition to the Environmental Awareness Program, the Community Outreach Ticket Program and sharing of local knowledge through the Workshop Series, the Rogue Arts Festival benefits the Town of Gibsons by promoting the idea of healthy communities by building opportunities for residents of Gibsons to be involved in community involvement and creative expression, while facilitating strong social ties among community members. This is done through creating an inter-generational social event, which includes educational opportunities and supports the idea that everyone can participate in making art. It is also important for communities to support small businesses and local artisans to support a vibrant local economy.

CRAS is working to build strong partnerships with Coastal environmental and other groups (i.e. Sunshine Coast Conservation Association, Arrowhead Clubhouse, the Maker Group, One Straw Society), while creating economic opportunities for local people. As the Sunshine Coast shifts from being a resource-based economy, creating annual events that also support our local tourist industry is key to the Coast's economic sustainability.

Festivals have the opportunity to showcase the area in which they take place. The Sunshine Coast has been a developing area for a number of years, with a diverse range of people coming both to visit and to live. The arts make this area interesting and puts our Coastal community on the map. The Rogue Arts Festival is creating an opportunity to showcase all that our area has to offer, with an annual destination event.

CRAS and the Rogue Festival could not operate without its core group of volunteers. In addition to the volunteer Board of Directors, volunteers oversee many aspects of the festival. Local professional artists, and members of the \Maker' community will also be collaborating with CRAS to provide interactive programming for the festival. Skilled volunteers share their abilities with people to create a comfortable community environment for all ages, especially for the residents of West Howe Sound+ Islands. It is also important to emphasize the intergenerational nature of the Rogue Festival. One of the benefits of creating a community space that is geared to be family friendly, are the overlap of activities for all age groups. Sharing experiences at community events, such as the Rogue Festival, builds bridges and creates communication pathways that also carry over outside of the Festival-for the people who'll interact at the festival are the same neighbours and community school members that we see day-to-day.

RE: Gibsons 2017 Community Program Grant Application

Metro Vancouver Crime Stoppers {"Crime Stoppers") would appreciate your financial supp continue to provide services for your residents and police.

Metro Vancouver Crime Stoppers is a non-profit society that receives anonymous tip information about criminal activity and provides it to police and government agencies in communities from Powell River through to Boston Bar.

Many communities served by Crime Stoppers share in the expenses to operate the program. The funding assessment is based on each jurisdiction's population. Generally, the financial support requested from communities is based on $.12 per person and is part of our partner contribution fundraising. Additional fundraising activities are also aggressively pursued to maintain annual funding for the service.

Crime Stoppers services are currently provided to the RCMP on the Sunshine Coast. The RCMP make extensive use of Crime Stoppers services and your continued support is needed in 2017 so that services can be maintained at the levels required for investigators. An effective anonymous tip can reduce investigation time and expenses incurred from additional investigative resources. Crime Stoppers has significantly increased its infrastructure to keep up with the ever increasing policing and community demands.

Crime Stoppers services provide the public with the opportunity to leave anonymous tips, 24 hours a day/7 days a week, about suspected criminal activity. Often people have information that would be of assistance to investigators but are reluctant to come forward; Crime Stoppers provides them with the opportunity to leave this information anonymously.

Furthermore, Crime Stoppers works with the police to help with unsolved crimes in the community. When investigators need help in acquiring leads in a case, they can contact Crime Stoppers. Crime Stoppers assists by bringing attention to the case through media exposure and public education.

Page 35 of 158 Committee of the Whole Meeting Agenda RE: 2017 Metro Vancouver Crime Stoppers Services for Gibsons, BC Page 2 of 2

Crime Stoppers offers several different ways to leave an anonymous tip:

• Telephone: 1-800-222-TIPS {8477) • Online: www.solvecrime.ca • Text: "BCTIP" and your message to CRIMES (274637) • App: Download the app at iTunes or on Android

Crime Stoppers extensively uses social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube to communicate its message.

Multilingual Translation Services

Metro Vancouver Crime Stoppers provides multilingual translation services. Tips can be taken in as many as 115 different languages.

Thank you for considering our request. If you require any other information, please do not hesitate to contact me at [email protected] or by telephone at 604-717-3372.

Grants of Assistance 1

Page 38 of 158 Committee of the Whole Meeting Agenda Often people don't want to get involved with police directly out of concern that they may have to go to court or if they reveal their identity, they may expose themselves or their families to acts of retaliation. For those reasons and many more, people will not come forward with information that law enforcement officials need.

Crime Stoppers can be extremely beneficial as we are the middle relationship to ensure anonymity while at the same time passing tip information forward. Our program provides an effective opportunity for anyone to help law enforcement solve crime without worry of reprisal. The Crime Stoppers program serves as a chance for anyone to relay criminal information to police and absolutely remain anonymous.

Anonymous tips can be made in a variety of ways including: calling 1-800-222-8477, visiting our web site www.solvecrime.ca, or texting a message to CRIMES (27 4637). Crime Stoppers accepts tips in 115 different languages.

Since the inception of Metro Vancouver Crime Stoppers just over 30 years ago, more than 7800 arrests have been made and half a billion dollars' worth of property and drugs have been recovered because of tips the program has received.

Membership:

Membership includes a board of directors as well as people interested in supporting the mission statement of our non-profit organization.

Describe the project or program that you are applying for assistance for:

Project Title: Crime Stoppers Community Awareness

Project Description:

The funds raised for the Gibson's Community Grant will assist us in our mission to prevent and solve crime, which is ongoing. Any funding received from the town of Gibsons will be used to support our activities only within the Gibsons, Langdale and surrounding area. The proceeds will help to fund the costs we incur to receive anonymous tip information about criminal activity that we provide to investigators in our communities. Tip information is provided to a wide variety of provincial, federal and international investigative agencies.

Crime Stoppers programs are extremely beneficial as our organization is on the front line between law enforcement and the public wanting to ensure their anonymity while passing along tips on crime. Our program provides an effective opportunity to solve crime without worry of reprisal. They serve as a chance for private citizens to relay criminal information to police and remain absolutely anonymous.

Tipsters are guaranteed that they will not have to give their name, be identified or testify in court. Tipsters could be eligible to receive cash rewards of up to $2,000 upon an arrest and charge on a tip that they have provided.

Crime Stoppers partners with local media who provide weekly features on "the crime of the week", "most wanted individuals" and messaging to encourage the general public to leave tips.

Metro Vancouver Crime Stoppers operates the British Columbia Anti-Gang Crime Tip and Reward program in partnership with the Province of British Columbia Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General.

**Probable Gang-Crime Tips - Crime Stoppers tipsters report criminal events and the tipster is rarely aware of the source, gang or otherwise, of the crime that they are reporting. Metro Vancouver Crime Stoppers tracks the "type of crime11 reported. In consultation with police and as a matter of experience, Crime Stoppers can extrapolate from these reports to make a reasoned estimate of crimes that are associated with criminal gangs. These "Probable Gang Crime Tips 11 include reported criminal activities such as; abduction, murder and attempted murder, drug labs, marijuana grow operations, drug trafficking, prostitution, gun and weapons offenses as well as a portion of outstanding warrants (50%} and fraud (50%}.

To Whom It May Concern:

This letter is in support of the Metro Vancouver Crime Stoppers Association's ("MVCS's") request for the Sechelt Community lnvestment Program Grant application. In addition, I also support MVCS with any community grant application requests for funding within the Sunshine Coast area in the future.

I have been a resident of Roberts Creek, BC located on the Sunshine Coast for over 3 years_. As a resident of the area, I hear of the activity of the crimes committed in the area and read the posts in our local paper. As this is a small community where much is known about our neighbours and local events, it is essential that we provide a program where tipsters can remain anonymous to report crime without being exposed on their identity. Crime Stoppers receives anonymous tips on criminal activity, distributes this information to the appropriate investigators, monitors the progress of the information and follows up with tipsters to provide financial rewards upon an arrest

11 and charge. Tips received for the Sunshine Coast wilt be forwarded to the RCMP OIC, ((Office in Charge • We are fortunate that the RCMP detachment is located in the heart of Sechelt so the presence of the RCMP and their hard work to protet;t our community is well recognized.

My background is also as a former member of the Delta Police Department and I have seen first hand the aspects of crime and how it affects the surrounding communities and families. My position was assigned to the Economic and Technical Crime Unit within the Delta Police Department which involved: the community based fraud and economic crime prevention outreach program, elder fraud and abuse investigation and support services, among other areas within the force. I am currently employed with large chartered accounting firm as a Manager in the Investigative and Forensics Services Department, heading the computer forensics and eDiscovery practise in Western Canada.

I will be involved in heading up the soon to be launched, Sunshine Coast Chapter of Crime Stoppers, a division of Metro Vancouver Crime Stoppers. Crime Stoppers provides police investigators with information that it would not otherwise be able to access. Tips from Crime Stoppers provide valuable information that help to reduce hours of investigative time and saves the police department thousands of dollars in resources that can then be used for other pressing public safety issues.

Crime Stoppers is an important institution in maintain our community's public safety. I wholeheartedly support their application so that they can continue to provide their services to our community.

Thank you for your consideration.

I am writing to you in support of the Metro Vancouver Crime Stoppers Association's ("MVCS's") request for the Sechelt Community Investment Program Grant application, along with any other Sunshine Coast community grant requests. As the Line Officer for the Sunshine Coast RCMP detachment, I see first-hand the impact of criminal activity and how that can negatively impact a community.

This program would be a tremendous investment for the entire community as it will contribute to the safety and well-being of Sechelt citizens. Tips from Crime Stoppers provide valuable information that help to reduce hours of investigative time, saving the RCMP thousands of dollars in resources that can then be used for other pressing public safety issues.

The program also provides an important avenue for those in our community who are uncomfortable about coming forward to police. If they do not want to contact the RCMP directly, they can contact Crime Stoppers anonymously. Importantly, Crime Stoppers provides our investigators with information that it would not otherwise be able to access.

Crime Stoppers is an important organization that contributes to a safe and sustainable community. I wholeheartedly support their application so that they can continue to provide their services to our community.

Thank you for your support

Sincerely,

Inspector Aaron Paradis Aaron.paradis@rcmp:grc.gcc<:1 778-290-4 771 14200 Green Timbers Way Surrey, B.C. V3T 6P3 Lower Mainland District Mail Stop #506

Describe your organization, its mandate, program and membership:

Deer Crossing The Art Farm is a registered non-profit organization of creative community builders. We believe that creative engagement outside traditional art spaces-on farms or in forests, in hospitals and homes-and across traditional boundaries-between one discipline and another, between audience and artist, between arts and the environment-fosters a strong sense of belonging for all involved. The more people feel they belong, the more they invest in their community. This is what we mean by creative community building. We build community creatively by building creative communities. We do this, in part, through our mandate to advance the public appreciation of the arts by exhibiting, presenting and promoting innovative integrated art works inspired by and/or in collaboration with the natural world and to advance the education of children, youth and adults by exploring, sharing, teaching and disseminating innovative integrated art works, skills, and ideas through initiatives, workshops, collaborations, productions, partnerships, festivals, residencies and tours.

The Art Farm was officially founded on March 11 2008 (#S53389) and spent its first year developing relationships with local artists, innovators and community organizations - and exploring integrated art and nature-based collaborations through a series of workshops and open houses. In the eight years since then the Art Farm has developed an annual festival attracting over 3000 people to its Rainforest Circus, children's tent, Art Farm market and more, launched FUSE Community Work Hub (a co-working space for creative and social entrepreneurs), facilitated the Smart Farm Project (www.smartfarmproject.org), provided ongoing education programming with SD46, Waldorf and SPIDER, and collaborated with over 100 local organizations, businesses and government on various community-building initiatives.

The art farm's short-term goals over the next three years include: • Cultivate a diverse and active membership of over 500. • Nurture and expand their network of donors and philanthropists. • Reinforce their reputation for innovation, reliability and productivity with government funders, public and private foundations. • Increase the number of local collaborative partners and projects. • Develop innovative community-engaged arts programming with a measurable positive impact across the Sunshine Coast, Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island. • Plan, develop and initiate one or more social enterprises that falls with-in the mandate of the organization.

The art farm's long-term goals over the next ten years include: • Become a model organization using social enterprise as a major revenue source for programming. • Own/lease and operate real estate that serves the programmatic needs of the organization and others. • Develop innovative community engaged arts programming with a measurable positive impact on communities across BC and Canada.

Project Title: Resurgence

Project Description:

Resurgence is a youth-led multi-disciplinary exploration of cultural re-awakening in the context of the relationship between indigenous and non-indigenous peoples on the Sunshine Coast BC.

Driven by a team of indigenous and non-indigenous artists (both emerging and established), and in collaboration with an indigenous youth empowerment organization, the project will include a series of facilitated workshops for youth and the artist team, a youth-led summer arts camp, a creation week for the emerging and established artist team, a public presentation of the installations and media art created, and film/photo documentation of the process and outcomes.

The project will engage approximately 6 core youth leaders (ages 18 -25), between 20 - 30 youth participants (ages15-19) and over 40 children (ages 8-14).

Our goals for this project are to: 1. Honour and celebrate the cultural legacies of local indigenous and non-indigenous residents on the Sunshine Coast with-out ignoring difficult or challenging subject matter, 2. Empower emerging indigenous artists to lead the creative process, 3. Foster a stronger sense of belonging by bringing indigenous and non-indigenous artists together in a shared creative exercise, and 4. Produce a short 5-minute teaser film and a series of installations that acts as a catalyst for a. Formal dialogues between indigenous and non-indigenous groups, and b. Future indigenous/non-indigenous artistic collaborations here on the Sunshine Coast.

Mayor and Council, Town of Gibsons, 474 Fletcher Road, P.O. Box 340, Gibsons, BC VON 1VO

Dear Mayor Rowe and Council:

Town of Gibsons Application: Short Term Assistance - Category A Please find attached two applications to the town of Gibsons for short term project assistance for 2017.

The Gallery has two special projects planned for 2017 that will be of significant interest to the Town of Gibsons.

The first is 'The Sunshine Coast Pavilion', an Expo '86 inspired exhibition in partnership with local community organizations (including the Squamish & Sechelt Nations, Sunshine Coast Museum & Archives, Sunshine Coast Community Services and the Sunshine Coast Community Foundation). This will be a month long community exhibition designed to showcase the cultural past, present and future of Gibsons and the Sunshine Coast.

The second project, in conjunction with an application to Heritage BC, is for a permanent installation of l:,quamish Nation public arHo be displayed at the centre of Town, around the exterior of the Gallery.

As the Town grows, it is the Gallery's goal to be a vibrant economic contributor to the local economy. We exhibited over 140 artists in 2016, through 20 exhibitions, with many others presented in our thriving local artist gift shop. In 2016 alone our Gallery generated over $38,000 revenue to local artists, and recorded 15,000 visits. We continue in 2017 with our mandate to provide the community with a first class arts and cultural venue, engaging displays of local creativity and, as an added bonus, free parking. Thank you for your continued assistance as your limited financing allows. The Gibsons Public Art Gallery greatly appreciates the Town's support!

We hope that you will favourably consider these two project applications.

Page 76 of 158 Committee of the Whole Meeting Agenda Attachment 'A': Gibsons Public Art Gallery The Gibsons Public Art Gallery is a volunteer-run non-profit arts and culture exhibition and event space, founded in 2003 with the mandate of providing the lower Sunshine Coast with a public venue for art exhibition and education. Since its inception, the Gallery has become a local cultural institution, fulfilling our community's need for an accessible professional arts & culture exhibition space, recognized as the best of its kind in our region. It is now one of the top visitor destinations on the Sunshine Coast. The Gallery has established a fourteen year archive of successful art installations, including a year round exhibition calendar of art in all mediums, community performances, classes and cultural events of all kinds.

The Gallery vision is to foster and promote artistic creativity and learning, while serving as a cultural centre that unites art and community. Our values: welcoming, supportive, inclusive, educative, encouraging, pro-partnership, enabling, public, accessible to everyone.

Attachment 'B' Project Description: 'The ©riginal People' Installation

To introduce a permanent feature display of public art in Gibsons.

The waters and forests surrounding Gibsons, BC are considered to be the birthplace of the Squamish Nation. Yet there are no signs that an indigenous culture once thrived on the shores around the modern townsite. This project aims to change that, by placing a prominent display of Squamish Nation public art at the centre of our community.

The Gibsons Public Art Gallery is located at the heart of Gibsons landing BC. In 2012 the Gallery took over the bank building (built in 1962) that was left vacated in the middle of the town's historic tourist area, and transformed the space into a professional exhibition venue for promoting public access to art. The Gallery has since become the cultural hub of Gibsons. The plain exterior facade of the Gallery still remains as it was when the building seNed as the town's bank. This project creates a new installation of Squamish art at the heart of Gibsons, with a reimagining of the exterior facade of the town's public art gallery through the vision and creativity of contemporary Squamish Nation artists.

Due to the unusual configuration of the streets of lower Gibsons, the Gibsons Public Art Gallery building is visible from multiple approaches into the town centre. Art installed on the outside of the building will be centrally located and visible to the public 24/7, 365 days a year. All residents and visitors to Gibsons will have access to this ongoing presentation of art.

This project is essentially a proposal to enhance Gibsons Landing, and is not a GPAG project in the usual sense. It is GPAG's wish to act as advocates in generating a Sense of Place that has real impact and that will benefit the entire Landing area.

Page 77 of 158 Committee of the Whole Meeting Agenda Attachment 'C' Project Purpose: 'The Original People' Installation

The colonial history of our region, and the geography of Howe Sound, has isolated the Squamish population from their traditional territory in Gibsons. As a result, there are no Squamish Nation artists living and working on the Sunshine Coast. This project invites the artists of the Squamish Nation to return to the shores of the Sunshine Coast - even if only temporarily - to lead the creation and installation of an important new statement of public art.

The Gibsons Public Art Gallery has an excellent working relationship with the Squamish Nation and has played a central role in building a modern friendship between the citizens of the Sunshine Coast and the . The Gallery held its first exhibition of Squamish Nation art in the summer of 2007, with a delegation from the Squamish Nation arriving by and welcomed by the town's mayor. In 2012, Squamish Nation artist chiaxten (Wes Nahanee) helped lead the opening ceremony of our new Gallery space. In the summer of 2016 the Gallery held a four week celebration of Squamish Nation art and culture, which included a display of paintings, carvings and weavings, artist demonstrations, and a reconciliation ceremony that began inside the Gallery and concluded on the beach of Chekwelp (the Squamish reserve located at the edge of the modern Gibsons townsite). The celebration included representatives from the Squamish Nation (including hereditary Chief Ian Campbell, elders, councillors, and artists), the Town of Gibsons, the Sunshine Coast Regional District, and members of the community. The Gallery is well positioned for developing this project in a partnership with Squamish Nation artists.

Both levels of local government support reconciliation with First Nations and have been supportive of the Gallery's efforts to reintroduce Squamish culture to the community. Cultural attitudes on the coast have changed since the time of first contact. Gibsons has become an open, welcoming community that prides itself on hospitality. There is a growing interest and desire to support aboriginal reconciliation and evocative cultural development.

We anticipate that the prospect of a significant display of Squamish Nation art in an ongoing public setting in Gibsons will be received by the community with enthusiasm. Based on our successful completion of past projects, we hope to receive some funding for this from local government (the Town of Gibsons and Sunshine Coast Regional District), business sponsors, gifts-in-kind, and donations from community members. Local artists have indicated their desire to assist the project as volunteers. We anticipate the Heritage BC will give serious consideration to this project as part of their Canada 150 Legacy funding, and it is subject to finances being in place.

Page 78 of 158 Committee of the Whole Meeting Agenda Attachment 'D' Project Personnel: 'The Original People' Installation

This project will be administered by the Gibsons Public Art Gallery. The Gallery will commission a team of Squamish Nation artists to work with the Gallery to design and install the project, using paint applied to existing Gallery exterior wall surfaces, in combination with attachable wood and metal panels featuring traditional and contemporary Coast Salish designs. The Gallery invites the Town to be a part of the design approval process. Budgeted items include building surface preparations, materials, exterior lighting, artist fees and travel.

Planning for the project will happen throughout the spring of 2017, with installation of the art taking place throughout the summer and early fall of 2017. In July 2017, in the inside of the building, the Gallery is hosting 'The Sunshine Coast Pavilion' - an Expo'86 inspired cultural pavilion created in partnership between the Gallery, the Squamish Nation, the Sechelt Nation, the Sunshine Coast Museum and Archives, the Town of Gibsons, the Sunshine Coast Regional District and other community groups. Our intent is to introduce the creation of this new permanent installation of Squamish art as a featured part of this community cultural pavilion exhibit.

Attachment 'E' Project Benefits: 'The Original People' Installation

This project focuses on improving visibility and access to indigenous culture in our community, while creating a lasting aesthetic benefit to the community. A feature of Squamish art at the centre of Gibsons will interject a much needed reminder that this place is where Squamish culture began. A prominent and permanent public installation of Squamish Nation art in Gibsons is a way of communicating to the Squamish people that we honour, value and respect their culture.

The project will give an opportunity for experienced Squamish Nation artists to mentor young Squamish artists with the commissioning of the artists to perform the design and installation,. The project also provides an opportunity for artists to build a sustainable connection to their traditional territory.

Today, a Squamish Nation child visiting our town will see no presence of their ancestral culture. After this public art project, and others that can then follow its lead, a future visitor to our community will see that indigenous culture not only survives here, but can thrive.

The legacy of this project is a fabulous installation of contemporary Squamish Nation art that can be enjoyed by all residents and visitors to Gibsons. The Gibsons Public Art Gallery, already an attraction, will receive a welcome boost of attention and will help promote the Gallery's mandate for providing an accessible arts and culture venue for the community. With this project, the renovation that transformed the building's interior

3

Page 79 of 158 Committee of the Whole Meeting Agenda to an acclaimed exhibition space will be matched with a Coast Salish art display on the exterior that will be timeless and perpetually relevant.

Art can act as a positive agent for change. A permanent display of Squamish culture at the centre of Gibsons is a productive step that our community can take in the long process of establishing meaningful reconciliation with the First People. The ultimate lasting legacy for all of this is the time proven creative strength and endurance of indigenous culture.

This project continues the development of a positive relationship between Gibsons arid the Squamish Nation. Welcoming the return of Squamish Nation culture will extend this spirit of friendship to the Squamish people and articulate and reinforce a shared connection between our two communities.

Page 90 of 158 Committee of the Whole Meeting Agenda Attachment 'A': Gibsons Public Art Gallery The Gibsons Public Art Gallery is a volunteer-run non-profit arts and culture exhibition and event space, founded in 2003 with the mandate of providing the lower Sunshine Coast with a public venue for art exhibition and education. Since its inception, the Gallery has become a local cultural institution, fulfilling our community's need for an accessible professional arts & culture exhibition space, recognized as the best of its kind in our region. It is now one of the top visitor destinations on the Sunshine Coast. The Gallery has established a fourteen year archive of successful art installations, including a year round exhibition calendar of art in all mediums, community performances, classes and cultural events of all kinds.

The Gallery vision is to foster and promote artistic creativity and learning, while serving as a cultural centre that unites art and community. Our values: welcoming, supportive, inclusive, educative, encouraging, pro-partnership, enabling, public, accessible to everyone.

Attachment 'B': Project Description - The Sunshine Coast Pavilion This project will turn the Gibsons Public Art Gallery into a month long world expo inspired 'Sunshine Coast Pavilion', a celebratory feature display of the Sunshine Coast's contribution to Canada and the rest of the world. ' An exposition is an event that aims to educate & entertain the public, share innovation, promote progress and foster cooperation. In world expositions, it's a host country that invites other countries, companies, organizations, the private sector and the general public to participate.

This is a design for a local expo, with the Gallery acting as the host, with local organizations, community partners and businesses taking part in the creation of a display that will showcase all that the Sunshine Coast offers to Canada and the world. The exhibit will direct visitors through a display beginning with the First Nations (information on territory, culture and people/past, present, future) modern coast history (pioneers, boaters, loggers, hippies, Beachcombers, urban refugees from across Canada and the world), community giving (a tribute wall to local volunteers and community donors), modern ecology/conservation efforts, and local creative innovators and future community building potential.

The opening celebration will be a community wide Open House and reception on July 1 that will incorporate GPAG's traditional Canada Day Bag of Books Sale.

Attachment 'C': Project Purpose - The Sunshine Coast Pavilion Gibsons and the Sunshine Coast have developed into modern multi-cultural communities, connected to Canada and the world in countless ways. This project celebrates our region's connection to Canada and Canadian culture.

From the first peoples of the Coast, to the gateway of pioneers, loggers, hippies, Beachcombers, artists, cottagers and commuters that followed. The outcome is a project that ... - builds on our ability to be an open and welcoming community, connecting with our common Canadian values. This exhibition will highlight the role of the natural beauty of our region, the attractiveness of the Coast as a place to live, work and play, and draw attention to the value of this iconic Canadian environment.

February 2017 GPAG At A Glance

GPAG's mandate is to ensure an exhibition space for both established and emerging Coast artists, to foster educational/outreach programs including classes and lectures, and to nurture the collection and exhibition of a public collection of art.

What we do. GPAG is a special art space with different goals than a commercial art gallery. With an annual budget of about $200,000, our main purpose is the exhibition of art as well as education. w·e presented 20 exhibitions in 2016, featuring artists from Vancouver and the Coast. We have a main gallery space of about 1200 square feet, and an area where we showcase smaller works. We receive over 50 submissions from artists, and an independent jury ranks them for a final scheduling by the Board. GPAG is a Registered non­ profit Society managed by a volunteer working Board, with Federal charitable status. We are an integral part of the community and are able to do things that a commercial gallery cannot do. GPAG has become the hub of Gibsons Landing, where people meet and network. Our move to an accessible space was due to a generous gift from Eve Smart, and our smaller gallery bears her name.

Volunteers. Over 50 volunteers give over 3200 hours of their time each year.

Membership has increased to over 300 persons.

Visitors. We welcomed over 15,000 visitors in 2016. In the 5 years leading up to the opening of the new accessible gallery, the average attendance was 5,200.

Students. Three times each year we organize children's art classes, reaching about 60 students. In addition our annual 'Shout Out' event is publicized throughout SD46, and showcases 120 students who each exhibit two works in the Gallery. This in turn draws family and friends to GPAG, and the event is also widely publicized in the media. GPAG regularly applies for a summer student grant to have a student work at the Gallery.

Artists. Our 20 exhibitions in 2016 featured well over 100 individual artists. They included painters, sculptors, photographers, glass artists, fibre artists, woodworkers, ceramicists and video artists.

Local merchants. We involve the business community as sponsors and donors. We hosted the annual "Lights in the Landing" event, a Driftwood Players Halloween night. GPAG shops locally whenever possible. Goods from Landing restaurants, bakeries and cafes are featured in our GPAG receptions.

Fundraisers. We raise money for other groups ranging from Food banks to Habitat for Humanity, from the Stephen Lewis Foundation to WaterCan.

Partnerships. We partner with other organizations. In 2017 we anticipate a huge collaboration in July to draw attention to the place of the Sunshine Coast in Canada's sesquicentennial ..

Events. Our new space lends itselfto book launches, music, concerts, artist receptions, Gibsons Poetry Society, and Gibsons Jazz Festival.

Outreach. Every year GPAG is involved with the community at large: Canada Day Bag of Books, Paint Out plein air.

Page 99 of 158 Committee of the Whole Meeting Agenda Organization: Huckleberry Coast Childcare Society

Project Title: Little Hands: parent & child drop-in community art class

Purpose: Early years arts education develops a child's small motor control (writing preparedness), pride in workmanship, knowledge of materials and appreciation for process-based inquiry as well as introducing elements of story-telling and early literacy communication through drawing. Compared to the play-centred Strong-Start and Rec Centre Toddler programs, Little Hands focuses on creative, social development-enhancing art activities that allow both children and parents an opportunity to connect socially while learning. Natural and recycled materials, permission to "get messy" and a warm atmosphere contribute to an experience that honours the investigative nature of childhood while maintaining our unique Coast vibe of arts, culture and outdoor living.

Benefit: Gibsons benefits as a growing community when its young families feel included and supported in their new home via programs and networking opportunities such as Little Hands. Little Hands families pay $5/child and enjoy 1.5 hours of creative expression, independent art exploration, imaginative play and story time. It is a well-attended program, sometimes welcoming over 20 participating children plus babes-in-arms and parents eager for social connection. This program is more then arts and crafts projects; it is community building at work, bringing parents and caregivers together via children's programming to offer supportive conversations and knowledge-sharing for all ages.

In order to continue offering Little Hands, Huckleberry needs the drop-in to cover its own expenses. The $5/child fee helps address basic materials (paint, glue, paper) but does not cover an honorarium for the facilitator, more specialized materials (printmaking rollers, new paint brushes) or provision of a free snack such as Strong-Start offers (rice crackers, cream cheese, veggies & fruit). By helping fund this valuable community art class for families, the Town can be confident that it is contributing to a resilient, connected social fabric that supports young children in their formative development. $750 from the Town will be augmented by a $1000 grant from the SC credit Union; together these monies will provide for the cost of Little Hands to continue operating.

Parent-Tot Summer Fun Program

Project Description: Parent-Tot Drop-In Is a universal free program for parents/caregivers and children from birth to age 6. Over 23 years running, Drop-In has provided support for thousands of Sunshine Coast families, including famllles who are at risk: teen and young parents, new Immigrants, and those with financial challenges, limited parenting skills or family and social supports.

Our Drop-In staff consists of trained and experienced Family Resource Workers and Early Childhood Educators that provide a wide variety of age-appropriate play and learning activities for children (Including crafts, small and gross motor activities, music and. dance circle, nutritious snack) as well as support to parents and caregivers around child development and parenting concerns through one-on-one discussion, encouraging the use of the parenting and child development library and referral to other community services when appropriate. It is a warm, welcoming and non-judgemental environment where parents can enjoy a cup of coffee or tea, socialize and share parenting stories with other parents, play with their children and discuss concerns with staff.

Parent-Tot Drop-In provides a safe, accessible location for families to become connected to others and get information about other agency programs, as well as Sunshine Coast Community Services' other family support, prevention and Intervention programs. These include family counselling, counselling for children who have witnessed abuse, women's counselling, transition house, food bank, programs for children and youth with special needs and pre and post natal nutrition. This practical support to families Is a strong part of our mission.

Parent-Tot Drop-In's regular funding enables us to run the program from mid-September through mid-May. There is a long gap In service throughout the late spring and summer. Through our annual evaluations, parents have expressed their need for activities for their infants, toddlers and pre-schoolers during the summer months as well as opportunities for social connections and parenting support. There are no other programs In these communities that meet these needs.

Our proposed "Parent-Tot Summer Fun" will be offered twice a week at Gibsons and Area Community Centre children's playroom and outside play area, likely Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:30-11:30 a.m. from July 25 to August 3l5t. Sunshine Coast Community Services Society has a partnership with Sunshine Coast Regional District Recreation Department who provides a permanent space for us within the Glbsons and Area Community Centre for reduced rent.

Parent-Tot Drop-In Is a popular well-attended program that, during the winter months, attracts between 20 - 30 children on any given day. Last summer, an average of 20 families and 29 children attended each day of the program

Page 123 of 158 Committee of the Whole Meeting Agenda 6048855699 CCRR 02:38:12p.m. 03-15-2017 8 /29

Our Project, Parent-Tot Summer Fun will help us meet the expressed needs of families who find It difficult in the summer months to provide suitable and affordable activities for their children under six. Many of our families have economic challenges and the option of summer camp for their young ones is out of the question. Summer Fun will not charge a fee. However, there Is a donation jar so families are able to contribute as they can afford, usually around $2.00. As well, we have trained Family Resource Workers who have well-developed relationships ·with the families who attend our September to May Parent-Tot Drop-In program, offered five mornings a week in Gibsons. Many of these are the same parents and children who will attend Summer Fun. It is this continued relationship between staff and families that helps to support vulnerable famllies In developing and sustaining healthy parent-child interactions.

Mayor Rowe and Council, 474 South Fletcher Road, Box 340, Gibsons, BC VON 1VO

Dear Mayor Rowe and Council,

Please accept this application for funds under your 2017-18 Grants of Assistance Program. As we have described in our application, the Sunshine Coast Hospice Society is proud to be celebrating 30 years of dedicated service to the Sunshine Coast community. Some very exciting activities are planned which not only will celebrate the achievement and vision of some very dedicated people and raise the profile of our organization, but they will also provide opportunities for community dialogue about difficult but important issues.

We hope that you will all be able to participate in some of these events.

We would also like to acknowledge and thank you for the support you have given the SCHS in the past. As a participant in the Gentle Touch program at Christensen Village, which you helped to fund in 2015, I know first hand the benefits that residents of care facilities can receive from volunteers such as we have at Hospice.

We are looking forward to hearing from you soon.

resident, Sunshine Coast Hospice Society

Page 132 of 158 Committee of the Whole Meeting Agenda Describe your organization, its mandate, program(s) and membership:

In 1987, we began companioning one client, dying at home. 30 years later, Sunshine Coast Hospice (SCHS) continues to provide compassionate palliative care for those at end of life whether at home, in hospital, a care facility (such as Christensen Village) or one of our 2 dedicated hospice beds at Shomcliffe Intermediate Care Facility. Trained volunteers (currently 68 active) provide the necessary physical, emotional and spiritual support required to maintain the dignity and self-worth of our clients throughout the dying process. We are involved with over 50% of the palliative deaths on the Sunshine Coast serving more than 100 people annually. Volunteers offer further support to bereaved family and friends through a range of bereavement services, which include both drop in and registered programs some of which are specific, such as those serving young adults and those grieving the loss of a child. Others are groups of a more general nature. One on one companionship and support is also available. In 2016 SCHS added Advance Care Planning to its suite of services, again delivered by trained volunteers. The SCHS is an inclusive organization with a mandate to serve residents of the Sunshine Coast (Langdale to Egmont) whatever their circumstances or personal choices. SCHS also focuses on community engagement and public education about end-of-life issues in order to help people normalize the conversation about death and dying and to prepare themselves and their families. Finally, monitoring palliative care service gaps in the community and advocating to appropriate agencies to have those gaps filled is important work of the Board of Directors. To work effectively in the community, the society depends on its partnerships. One of the most important is the partnership with Vancouver Coastal Health which owns and operates Shomcliffe and whose staff make referrals. We also have a partnership with Christensen Village where our volunteers provide end of life support as well as a gentle touch program for residents in complex care. The Advance Care Planning program benefits from a partnership with both the Gibsons and Sechelt Public Libraries which provide venues and publicity. The Hospice Society is a member of the Seniors Planning Table and has agreed to participate in proposed community engagement about the future of seniors' care on the Sunshine Coast. Current membership is 84. There are 13 members on the Board of Directors.

Describe the project or program that you are applying for assistance for:

Project Description:

2017 marks the 30th anniversary of Sunshine Coast Hospice. Exciting activities spanning several months will both celebrate this milestone and engage the community. The project has 5 parts:

"A Legacy of Love," a web-based history of Sunshine Coast Hospice, celebrates the origins of the organization and its progress and successes over the years. This new page on our website, including video stories of personal experiences with hospice, will be a key focus for 30th anniversary celebrations. It is a powerful creative story, an emotional

Page 133 of 158 Committee of the Whole Meeting Agenda touchstone for the Sunshine Coast community and beyond - much more than just a literal timeline of events. Reaching both hearts and minds, it will be a lasting record reinforcing the values of caring, compassion, and respect and the qualities of vision, initiative, drive, and perseverance that birthed SCH and keep it thriving. This record will be a valuable tool for community engagement and outreach.

In June, an evening discussion entitled "A Second Look at Death and Dying" will help the community normalize conversations about end of life by looking at death as a cultural construct. Alternative points of view from both First Nations and non-First Nations speakers will be presented, opening dialogue within these different aspects of our community. A Coast Salish elder will share spiritual practices performed both with the person who is dying and the loved ones following death. Doris Barwich, the Executive Director of the BC Palliative and Hospice Care Association, will be the noll'-·aboriginal presenter.

In September, we will host an interactive weekend including family based workshops in art therapy and storytelling and such topics as Medical Assistance in Dying, Advance Care Planning and Pain Management. A gala fundraising concert features readings by author Kara Stanley, music by local singer/songwriter Simon Paradis and a thought­ provoking performance by spoken word artist Shane Koyczan. Finally, in November, a tea honouring and celebrating founders, volunteers and supporters also provides a venue to share the completed Legacy of Love project with the community.

Purpose of the Project:

On the one hand, this project is intended to celebrate 30 years of important community service and to honour the organization's founders and hard-working volunteers. But it goes far beyond that. A key feature of the strategic plan of SCHS is broadening our community engagement. By sponsoring a variety of events targeting a wide audience and different demographics, we will bring about a greater awareness of hospice services and programs to the community. Our goals also include deepening the conversation about death and dying and working to counteract the taboos often associated with this topic. By increasing public awareness of the Hospice Society we will attract new volunteers to enrich our services and ensure that more people in every community on the Sunshine Coast will have access to them. Another of our goals is to foster relations with the First Nations community. The opening event is dedicated to this end and will also attract an audience we may not have reached before.

Page 141 of 158 Committee of the Whole Meeting Agenda Sunday in the Park with Pride Society application: LGBTQ2 monthly drop-in youth

Describe your organization, its mandate, program(s) and membership:

Sunday in the Park with Pride Society (SPPS) is a non-profit society dedicated to improving the lives of LGBTQ2 (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, two-spirit) youth on the Sunshine Coast. Through our activities, the Society aims to increase visibility; provide queer youth with the means and opportunity to create community both with their peers and the wider LGBTQ2 community; foster connections and understanding among these communities as well as the wider Coast community; and celebrate LGBTQ2 culture on the Coast, making theSunshine Coast a truly safe and welcoming place where queer youth can thrive. The Society pursues this goal by producing Sunday in the Park with Pride (an annual outdoor picnic in celebration of LGBTQ2 Pride) and the Little Pride Parade, Read Out Loud (an all-ages literary event), and other all-ages and youth events and programs throughout the year, including three monthly drop-in groups: an LGBTQ2 youth group, an all-ages LGBTQ2 "drop-in community centre," and an all-ages Transgender Mentorship & Support Network. These programs provide tools and support for queer youth, in accordance with their needs and requests. In addition to this programming, SPPS publishes Pride Guide, an annual magazine showcasing LGBTQ2 people, arts and culture on the Sunshine Coast. All profits from the magazine (ad revenue) support SPPS programming. The Society currently has three board directors. There are no members at this time. Describe the project or program that you are applying for assistance for:

Project Title: LGBTQ2 monthly drop-in youth group

Project Description: This LGBTQ2 monthly drop-in youth group provides a safe space off­ campus for LGBTQ2 youth socialize and share their experiences with their peers and adult volunteers. The drop-in takes place at locations alternating between Gibsons and Sechelt, and provides snacks and beverages, as well as activities such as games or karaoke, for example. In addition, the youth group occasionally hosts guest speakers, special activities such as kayaking, or field trips to locations such as Qmunity, the LGBTQ2 community centre in Vancouver's West End. Including the leader coordinator, three LGBTQ2 adult leaders attend the SPPS monthly drop-in, providing a link to the wider community and knowledge and experience as LGBTQ2 individuals. Some youth in attendance, for example, ask for guidance on coming out and navigating hostile/homophobic spaces, and the adult volunteers are able to share their personal experience with these challenging aspects of LGBTQ2 life.

Sunshine Coast Mental Health and Addictions has hosted a monthly LGBTQ2 youth drop-in, but does not have the resources to continue past this spring, 2017. SPPS currently hosts every other month and as of June be hosting all of these monthly gatherings.

Purpose of Project: Gay-Straight Alliances, which were established in SD46 high schools a few years ago, provide casual and relaxed gathering spaces on campus that enable students to identify and create their queer peer community. But while these groups are lead kindly and capably by non-queer identified adults, they lack a connection to the queer community at large, resulting in a persistent sense of isolation among the youth. When Laurie Lesk, the founder of

Page 142 of 158 Committee of the Whole Meeting Agenda Sunday in the Park with Pride Society application: LGBTQ2 monthly drop-in youth

SPPS, first spoke at the GSA meetings in 2016, this was summed up by one rather surprised young woman who commented, "I didn't know there were any gay old people on the Coast!" There is no formal access to the kind of support that comes from shared experience, and knowledge of queer culture, its history and particular struggles.

In addition, although the GSAs welcome both straight and LGBTQ2 students, anyone attending the group is regarded by peers as LGBTQ2. As a result, only students comfortable with being "out" to some degree attend the on-campus meetings. A monthly off-campus group is of vital importance to those students who are questioning or not yet comfortable being out at school.

Despite increased acknowledgement and inclusion of the LGBTQ2 community in our modern mainstream society, many challenges and even dangers remain for queer youth. Homophobia and transphobia, still alive and well, means it is not always safe for queer youth to come out to peers and family. In statistics published by Egale Canada Human Rights Trust (http://egale.ca/ backgrounder-lgbtg-youth-suicide/) :

•Queer youth are 4 times more likely to attempt suicide than their heterosexual peers •33% of queer youth have attempted suicide in comparison to 7% of youth in general ·Adolescent youth who have been rejected by their families for being queer are over 8 times more likely to attempt suicide than their heterosexual peers • The names of the people who will be carrying out the project:

Laurie Lesk, Lead Coordinator

Andrea Routley, Volunteer Leader and administrator

Craig Cochrane, Volunteer Leader

Monthly drop-ins occasionally present a guest speaker or guest activity leader at the request of the youth involved.

Dates and location of the project: Monthly, typically Friday evening 6-9 p.m., alternating between Sechelt and Gibsons locations. The most recent monthly drop-in took place after hours at Wheatberries in Gibsons.

Describe how the project will benefit the Town of Gibsons: The project is of direct benefit to LGBTQ2 youth living in Gibsons. While half the monthly drop-ins are located in Sechelt, the program benefits Gibsons youth regardless as it connects them with a wider peer group, expanding their community and reducing the sense of isolation that is so prevalent among LGBTQ2 youth.
