Waddington Box 729, 2044 McNeill Road, Port McNeill, BC VON 2R0 Your flle Votre référence Attention: Chief Administrative Officer Ourflle Nolre rêlérence RDTMS # 1519337s April29,2019 Greetings - As you are aware, Transport Canada is the lead agency for several important initiatives under the Governtnent of Canada's Oceans Protection Plan, a suite of 57 initiatives being irnplemented across the country. Arnongst the regional and national activities that constitute the Oceans Protection Plan, is the Places of Refuge initiative (POR), which seeks to establish marine areas where ships in need of assistance can take action to enable them to stabilize their conclition and reduce the hazards to navigation, and to protect human life ancl the environment. At this time, Transport Canada has identifred a need to concentrate on identifying suitable Places of Refuge in the area of Queen Charlotte Strait. We woulcl like to invite you, as a coastal community, to participate in the collaborative process of identifying potential Places of Refuge in the Queen Charlotte Strait. Coastal communities have local knowledge that would be essential to consider in an incident that reqr.rires a Place of Refuge. Your input will contribute to the developrnent of an Annex to the Pacifrc Regional POR Contingency Plan. Transport Canada has engaged Nuka Research and Planning Group to help with the Places of Refuge planning process. Nuka Research led the effort to develop the POR Annex for the Haida Gwaii region (2015 -2017) and they have considerable experience in developing Places of Refuge plans in Alaska. Nuka Research will be facilitating the workshops to solicit input on the Queen Charlotte Strait POR Annex development. The Governrnent of Canada intends to engage with several cornrnunities and groups, including regional and local governments, First Nations and others in a manner that best reflects their interests. V/e are reaching out to you, to hear from you on how we can best engage you. Background Marine vessel accidents/incidents occur infrequently in Canadian waters, but can have signifìcant consequences. Ships in neeclof assistance may anchor at a Place of Refuge for repairs to await a tow or receive other resources that would enable the voyage to resurne. Each incident is unique and decisions regarding Places of Refuge are only made at the time of the incident based on the circumstances at that time. Planning for a marine incident before it occurs is essential, so that the decision-makers at the tirne will have the best infonnation available to make the infonned choices that protect the environtnent and stabilize the ship's condition. Places of Refuge Plans are already in place in other coastal states, nationally across Canada's regions, and in the Canadä 2 -2- Pacific region since 2009. These plans create a f'ramework fbr a collaborative plarrning and risk assessment to support marine incident response. En gagernerrt Strategl¡ Transport Canada and Nuka Research intend to invite all interested parties to attend one or more workshops in North Vancouver Island communities in the spring of 2019 to: l. Review the Place of Refuge planning and decision-rnaking framework 2. Gather input on potential locations where a ship could be safbly anchored in the QCS area 3. Just as irnportantly, gather input on locations where a ship should not be directecl 4. Gather input on area logistical resources and services 5. Gather input on area cultural and environmental areas of concern After the information gathering workshops, Transport Canada will draft and circulate a draft Queen Charlotte Strait Annex for the Places of Refuge Contingency Plan for review and comment before being finalized. As a frrst step, we ask that you identify indicate if your organization intends on participating; if you wish to proceed, we ask that you please identify a point of contact on behalf of your organization, Once we have identifred all interested parties, we will begin scheduling. Funding is available to support participation of coastal communities through Transport Canada's Comrnunity Participation Funding Prograrn (CPFP). Please note this application should be sent at least 20 business days prior to the event to allow time for processing. I look forward to hearing from you, and working with your community on this important initiative. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me at TC.OPPPOR-PPOLDR.TCleDtc.gc.ca. We hope to hear from you by May 24,2019 in order to schedule our workshop this spring. 3 -3- Regards, Captain David Kyle, Places of Refuge Initiative Lead, Oceans Protection Plan cc: Cecilia Lei, Director of Engagement, Transport Canada 4 -4- y¿itgilî" l*l #¡ii;sir* lrZ lr N¿vR¿úio.l CúÐt¡:.r¿r' c¡ Oceons Protection Plon Ploces of Refuge lnitiotive Bockground A pl¡cc ol rcft¡c l¡ o sttc when ¡ ûlp ln nc¡d ol r¡¡bt¡rrr c¡n -raF¡)tÊs- t¡kc ¡slbn to ¡t¡blll¡c hcr condltion to pro{cct hum¡n lfc and lhê ênvüoomont.

The survey will use helicopters equipped with instruments that measure the properties of bedrock to help identify potential mineral deposits across an area including Port McNeill and Sayward in the north and Zeballos, Tahsis and Gold River to the south. A draft map of the proposed research area is on the reverse if this sheet. The Vancouver Island North project will: • produce new research that will lead to an improved understanding of regional geology; • identify regional geological and structural mineral exploration targets; • provide economic stimulation; and • engage communities and share information or explore any training needs. As with all Geoscience BC projects, the results of the research will be made public. Similar public geoscience projects have been proven to bring new investment, with the data used by the mineral exploration sector, government, communities and Indigenous groups to inform mineral exploration and development decisions. The project is still in the planning stages, and we are interested in hearing any feedback about the area or timing for the survey. We expect: • to begin a Request for Proposals process for project contractors in May, 2019; • to confirm project details and holding a project open house in June 2019; and • to publish data from the project in early 2020. This latest research follows on from a similar survey conducted further north and west in 2012. Data from that project was release in 2013 and information can be found at: www.geosciencebc.com/major-projects/northern- vancouver-island About Geoscience BC Geoscience BC is an independent, not for profit organization that generates and distributes public earth science research about British Columbia’s minerals, energy and water resources that advances knowledge, informs responsible development, encourages investment and stimulates innovation.

  • Sayward, Sayward Valley and Kelsey Bay the Strathcona Community Health Network Is Pleased to Share These Community Health Profiles
    Social Determinants of Health Fact Sheet: Sayward, Sayward Valley and Kelsey Bay The Strathcona Community Health Network is pleased to share these community health profiles. We have developed a community health profile for each of the eight communities within our region. Community health profiles were developed for two purposes: 1) to support the ongoing work of the Strathcona Community Health Network, and 2) to build capacity within the Strathcona region. 1. The Strathcona Community Health Network (SCHN) has articulated our approach to work, which includes a commitment to being evidence-informed by balancing the best available data with local knowledge in collaborative decisions. These community health profiles, then, have created an opportunity to define and collect or generate local data to support decision making and future action by the SCHN. 2. Perhaps more importantly, the SCHN’s approach also involves community capacity building. Per our Strategic Plan, we “encourage a capacity building approach so the community is strengthened and partners grow and improve their knowledge, skills and infrastructure through engaging with the network.” Community health profiles can be used to build community capacity in many ways, including the following: • Use the information within to support planning and decision-making processes. • Utilize this report as evidence when applying for grant funding and/or providing evaluation information to funders. • Employ the information within when advocating for policy changes at all levels of government. • Connect with the individuals, organizations, and coalitions within your community that are working towards greater outcomes. If you’d like more information about these groups, please contact us. • Initiate conversations with your neighbours, family, friends, and colleagues about the information that stood out to you.

  • Northern Vancouver Island Exploration Geoscience Project
    NORTHERN VANCOUVER ISLAND EXPLORATION GEOSCIENCE PROJECT In July 2012, Geoscience BC, together with the Island Coastal Economic Trust (ICET), committed to spend up to $930,000 on the Northern Vancouver Island (NVI) Exploration Geoscience Project. The project area includes the communities of Port Hardy, Port McNeill, Alert Bay, Port Alice, Sayward, Zeballos and Camp- bell River. The goal of the project is to attract mineral exploration interest and investment to Northern Vancouver Island through a better understanding of the area’s geology and mineral potential. The project is also working with partners to deliver information on geoscience, mineral exploration and mining to local First Nations and communities through interactive workshops and information sessions. To achieve the goals of attracting investment and creating new employment opportunities on the island, the project is generating new geoscience data for the area, including an airborne magnetic geophysical survey and a regional stream sediment geochemical sampling and reanalysis program. The airborne survey was fl own in the summer of 2012, and the data were re- leased in January 2013 at the Mineral Exploration Roundup conference in Van- couver. The data reveal magnetic variations in the earth’s surface and help ge- ologists better understand the geology of the area. The results also help the mineral exploration industry identify targets for further investigation. The regional geochemical program consists of two parts: 1) the reanalysis of over 400 till samples collected by the BC Geological Survey in the early to mid- Stream Sediment Sampling, North Vancou- ver Island. 1990s, and; 2) collection of over 700 new stream sediment and moss mat sam- Photo courtesy of Wayne Jackaman ples in fall 2012.

  • Formation of Royal Colwood Golf Club
    Formation of Royal Colwood Golf Club The land on which the golf course stands was originally Esquimalt Farm, one of four established between 1850 and 1853 by the Hudson’s Bay Company for the population of Victoria. In 1851 Captain Edward E. Langford became the first manager and named his property, on what is now Goldstream Road, “Colwood” after his family estate in Sussex, England. Subsequently the original farm was divided into smaller parcels. One of these surrounded Langford’s old home and became known as Colwood Farm. Early settlers on the farm included Arthur Henry Peatt and William Wale, who leased the Colwood farm in 1892 for $400 per year. Roads in the area now carry their names. In the last few years of the 19th century the Hunt Club was formed and a racecourse was built where the 5th and 6th fairways are now located. Steeplechase events were held on the property. The first steps towards the creation of the golf course occurred in 1912. Joseph Sayward. James Dunsmuir, Senator Frank Barnard and A. C. Flumerfelt, all members of the Victoria Golf Club which they feared might not survive the burden of the growing population and increasing property taxes in Victoria, began preparations for another golf course. The following year A.V. Macan, along with his colleague Captain W. Chambers, a Scot, was engaged by Mr. Sayward to design the Colwood golf course. Mr. Macan, who had emigrated from Ireland and established himself as a lawyer in Victoria, won the British Columbia Amateur championship and the Victoria Club championship in 1912 and 1913 and the Pacific Northwest Amateur championship in 1913.
