MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT made this day of , 2021

BETWEEN The Wuikinuxv Nation, P.O. Box 3500 Port Hardy V0N 2P0 in the Province of British Columbia (hereinafter referred to as “Wuikinuxv”) OF THE FIRST PART

AND The Regional District of Mount Waddington, Box 729, Port McNeill in the Province of British Columbia (hereinafter referred to as “RDMW”) OF THE SECOND PART

WHEREAS the Wuikinuxv Nation is acting as an agent to the community of Oweekeno and this community is seeking an area to regularly dispose of their solid waste;

AND WHEREAS the parties have hereto agreed that the RDMW will provide Regional Solid Waste Landfill services for the Wuikinuxv;

NOW THEREFORE THIS AGREEMENT WITNESSETH that in consideration of the covenants and agreements herein contained, the Regional District of Mount Waddington and the Wuikinuxv Nation hereby agree as follows:

1. The Regional District and Wuikinuxv agree that the term of this Agreement will be for five years, commencing January 1, 2022 and ending December 31, 2026 with the option for renewal on January 1st, 2027 for a further five years thereafter;

a) Each party must provide written notice of their intention to renew the agreement not less than three months before the expiry date and indicate any proposed revised terms in that agreement;

2. The RDMW will provide a Regional Solid Waste Recycling & Landfill service for Wuikinuxv which provides for: a) Disposal of “General Refuse” collected from households and businesses located in the community of Oweekeno; b) Processing of eligible industry stewardship sponsored recyclable materials collected located in the community of Oweekeno; c) Environmental protection measures and monitoring for the 7 Mile Landfill facility.

3. Wuikinuxv will abide by regulations as set by the most current Seven Mile Solid Waste Disposal bylaw and attached as Schedule A.

a) Wuikinuxv will pay, by separate invoice, for all other materials that are identified within the current version of the Seven Mile solid waste disposal bylaw as requiring processing separate from that of “General Refuse”. Such materials will not be considered as “General Refuse” and shall be subjected to separate approval processes and thus will not be subjected to the limitations noted in 4 c.

4. The Regional District will be entitled to collect by invoice,

a) A Base Annual Fee determined on the service area per capita value generated from the share property taxes/RDMW First Nations fees allocated to funding the RDMW regional solid waste program and the population of the community of Oweekeno based on the most recent available Canada Census or the British Columbia Assembly of First Nations or another mutually agreed upon data source, and shown in “Schedule B”. b) The Base Annual Fee will act as a credit which will be drawn down on a per tonne basis for “General Refuse” delivered to 7 Mile Landfill for landfilling and charged the Central Coast Tipping Fee of $165/tonne, with the exception of other materials that are identified within the most current version of the Seven Mile solid waste disposal bylaw as requiring processing separate from that of “General Refuse”. c) Should the cumulative “General Refuse” cost delivered for landfilling exceed the Base Annual Fee, such tonnage will be assessed a tipping fee of $165/tonne up until said cumulative tonnage exceeds

June 11, 2021 DRAFT 2022-2026 Solid Waste Agreement between the 1 Regional District of Mt. Waddington and the Wuikinuxv Nation 3

22 tonnes at which point the per tonnage charge will increase to the Central Coast Premium Tipping Fee of $190/tonne thereafter. d) Other materials pre-approved for delivery to 7 Mile Landfill will be assessed tipping fees based on Schedule A of the most current Seven Mile solid waste disposal bylaw (example attached below) and/or current practices. The cost will be separately invoiced. e) The Central Coast Tipping Fee and the Central Coast Premium Tipping Fee for landfilled “General Refuse” delivered to 7 Mile Landfill is subject to adjustment tied to the same proportional change as occurs to the “General Refuse” rate as documented in changes to the most current RDMW tipping fee bylaws. f) The current moratorium on gypsum being classified as “Controlled Waste” will apply to Wuikinuxv for extent it is applied to communities located within the RDMW.

5. This Agreement may be terminated by either party without cause by giving ninety (90) days’ written notice to the other party. If the agreement is terminated after September 31st, no adjustments will be made to previously invoiced fees for service for that year.

a) Either party may terminate this Contract for breach of one or more terms of this Contract, provided that the first party provides written notice of such breach to the defaulting party, and if such breach is not corrected within thirty (30) calendar days, or such longer period as both parties may agree, the Contract becomes null and void.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF the Wuikinuxv Nation has authorized this agreement attested by the hands of its duly authorized officers and the RDMW has hereto affixed its seal attested by the hands of its duly authorized officers the day, month and year first above written.

The Corporate Seal of the Regional District of Mount Waddington Wuikinuxv Nation hereto affixed in the presence of: signed by:

Schedule B

Draft Base Annual Fee Calculation

For the purpose of this example, the following assumptions will be used, based on the projected 2022 RDMW Solid Waste Budget and population estimates provided by Oweekeno:

• The property tax/1st Nations requisition for the regional solid waste program is $664,000 • The population of RDMW residents served by the 7-mile landfill is 11,000 • The population of Oweekeno is 54

To calculate the per capita value, divide the solid waste property tax requisition ($664,000) by the Regional District’s served resident population (11,700 people).

Per Capita Value = $664,000 / 11,000 People = $60.36 /Person

Base Annual Fee for Oweekeno = Population x Per Capita Value = 54 People x $60.36/Person = $3,260 Annual Tonnage covered by Oweekeno Base Annual Fee = $3,260/$165*= 20 tonnes For the calendar year 2021, any General Refuse between 20 tonnes and 22 tonnes will be charged at Central Coast Tipping Fee* of $165 per tonne; anything in excess of 22 tonnes will be charged at the Central Coast Premium Tipping of $190 per tonne Cumulative Tonnage Threshold= 22

The base annual fee will be payable upon invoice at the start of each calendar year. Other charges and any amount of general refuse in excess of the base annual tonnage will be payable upon invoice.

*The Central Coast Tipping Fee is 132% and the Central Coast Premium Tipping Fee is set as 152% of the fee specified for “General Refuse” of current tipping fees, as set by bylaw.

The calculation of the Base Annual Fee, population data will be drawn from the most recent Canada Census or the British Columbia Assembly of First Nations or mutually agreed upon equivalent standard data for the communities. The RDMW property tax/ 1st Nations requisition value is based on anticipated operating and capital expenditures less revenues from general tipping fees and recycling sales. Funds from Oweekeno, Klemtu & Bella Bella will be used to pay for any direct increase in operating costs related to the landfill operating costs with any residual being applied to a) retire capital debt and b) to reserves to reduce future capital debt requirements.

REPORT

TO: BOARD

FROM: Greg Fletcher, Administrator

SUBJECT: July, 2021 Administration Report

DATE: July 14, 2021 ______

Transit – A Regional Transportation Committee meeting was held on June 23rd. At the meeting, BC Transit announced that they would be eliminating fares for youth 12 and under and will compensate Mount Waddington Transit for $233.37 per month in lieu of fares provided the Regional District provides its permission:

That the 2021-22 Annual Operating agreement with BC Transit be amended to reduce the fare schedule to zero for children aged 12 or under and that BC Transit will compensate the Regional District for $233.37 per month in lieu of fares.

To support BC Transit’s plans for a realtime arrival phone app, we are georeferencing all the bus stops within the MWT System. This will also be useful information for our GIS system and the Port Hardy and Port McNeill community plans. In June, the ridership finally recovered to 2019 pre COVID levels. On an annual basis both ridership and revenues are projected to be down 13% although this may improve if the current strong recovery continues.

Emergency Planning – With the lifting of the Provincial State of Emergency and the start of Step 3 of the BC Restart Recovery Plan some semblance of normalcy has returned to daily life. With this in mind, the last of the weekly COVID Regional Emergency Operations Center meetings, number 92, was held on July 8th. After discussing that the post COVID world is still very much dependent on continued vigilance and vaccinations, the discussion shifted to new challenges that we are facing from power outages and wildfire vulnerability. The next day a wildfire near Woss was started by a powerline incident that knocked out power for the entire North Island for about 14 hours. Fortunately, both events were contained relatively quickly such that we can build on the lessons learned. Many residents in Woss were very concerned about this event which was the main focus of conversation at the Woss Residents Association AGM meeting attended by 33 people on July 12th..

Parks – Parks bookings for sites have already matched last years year end results with almost two months left in the camping season. However, there is limited capacity remaining with waterfront sites, particularly at Bere Point. The Quatse Campground agreement is due for renewal next month and representatives from NIVISEA have been invited to next months Board meeting to make a presentation.

Office Expansion Grant Application – Unfortunately, our application to the BC Canada Infrastructure program for a grant to expand the office/boardroom was turned down, as the program was ‘oversubscribed’. We will be on the lookout for the next grant intake.

Sointula Fire (Bylaw 986) AAP Process- The Alternative approval has started and electoral response forms can be submitted by Sointula Fire Service residents opposed to the tax increase proposed in Bylaw 986, up to August 9th.

Respectfully Submitted,

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT

MONTHLY REPORT

TO: Board of Directors FILE: 315.03 DATE: July 12, 2021

FROM: Pat English, Manager of Economic Development

SUBJECT: Monthly Economic Development Department Report

During the past month, I have undertaken the following economic development activities:

• I have been working with Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure to draft a plan for the redevelopment of the Winter Harbour boardwalk with a notional cost of approximately $750,000, to be jointly funded by the Canada Community Revitalization Fund ($491,000), MOTI ($241,000) and the Regional District ($18,300 – in kind). In support of the funding application, I am seeking adoption of the following resolution:

That the Regional District of Mount Waddington supports the submission of an application to the Canada Community Revitalization Fund for a grant to undertake the redevelopment of the Winter Harbour boardwalk subject to an agreement with MOTI for the balance of the required funding.

• The VINTAS Executive Committee has completed interviews with a short list of three applicants for the position of Rural Resident Attraction Program Coordinator and has directed me to submit the following recommendation:

That the Regional District of Mount Waddington enter into a contract with Serena Klaver for an amount not exceeding $90,000 to manage and coordinate the delivery of programs identified in the Rural Resident Attraction Program funding agreement with the Province of BC

• I am working with consultants from the District of Port Hardy to develop a framework to coordinate shared economic development priorities and initiatives throughout the region. We expect to convene a meeting in the fall of economic development practitioners from Port Alice, Port McNeill, Alert Bay as well as from the Quatsino, ‘Namgis, Kwakiutl and Gwa’sala-‘Nakwaxda’xw First Nations to share project priorities and identify opportunities to collaborate on initiatives

• I received a report summarizing market research from the consulting firm working on developing a home-based knowledge worker attraction strategy. The common top motivating factors for HBKWs in and outside of the RDMW region and among knowledge workers (not home-based) were consistently a) Reliable internet/bandwidth access, b) Outdoor recreational activities, and (c) Short commute times. These themes will be incorporated into messages in our campaign.

Respectfully submitted,

MONTHLY REPORT

TO: Board of Directors FILE: 315.04 DATE: July 13, 2021

FROM: Patrick Donaghy, Manager of Operations

SUBJECT: July 2021 Operations Report

On July 9, 2021 in the late afternoon, a wildfire was started south of Woss in conjunction with a power outage for the North Island. The Woss Volunteer Fire Department (VFD) responded with available members and requested mutual aid support from the Port McNeill and Hyde Creek VFDs. Port McNeill responded with a pumper and a water tender plus 6 members while Hyde Creek provided 3 members to assist in controlling the wildfire. Addional support was organized by the Regional District Emergency Coordinator who initiated support from the Port McNeill ESS program should an evacuation be required and the Manager of Operations dispatched a backup generator from Coal Harbour to allow for the operation of the back well. BC Wildfire also supplied suppression resources which was critical in the emergency response. By mid evening, the wildfire had been suppressed so that Woss was no longer considered threatened and mutual aid support was able to return to their base communities. At the Woss Resident Association annual general meeting on July 12, residents communicated dissatisfaction in the dependency on using the Coal Harbour emergency mobile generator and the Manager of Operations was requested to report back to the community on the cost and other considerations for having a permanent back generator installed to power pump station(s) servicing the water service. In addition, the Manager of Operations will work with Woss VFD to identifiy and maximize the use of nearby surface water sites to enhance wildfire suppression resources.

At the time of this report’s writing, the first prototype of the battery backup power supply for RDMW liftstation infrastructure has been completed and wired into place. The backup power will be supplied using lithium batteries with sufficient capacity to run a liftstation in Coal Harbour for 24 hours. The use of lithium batteries is preferred over conventional generators due to expectations for greater reliability, un-interupted power supply and lower maintenance costs. Should the power outage last longer than 24 hours, the batteries can be charged up with a portable generator. The expectation is that subsequent units will have lower cost due to opportunities being identified during the construction of the prototype. The installation completion will allow the prototype to be tested during the planned outage on July 15.

The grant application to the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program – Environmental Quality (EQ) Program for the purchase of an industrial wood grinder has been unsuccessful. This news is disappointing as the wood grinder had been recognized by local governments both within and outside of the RDMW as being an invaluable asset in the diversion of organic waste from landfills hence reducing the production of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas. Subsequent to the application being submitted, other opportunities were recognized as being benefited by the grinder but this information could not be added to augment the application. The Manager of Operations is currently exploring other funding opportunities in hopes of rescuing this initiative.

Finally, a delegation from the Wuikinuxv Nation will be attending the Board meeting to sign an agreement to bring their solid waste to 7 Mile Landfill. It is hoped that the relationship with the Wuikinuxv will be further strengthened the current relationship and cementing their view that the North

MONTHLY REPORT

TO: Board of Directors FILE: 315.05 DATE: July 14, 2021

FROM: Jeff Long, Manager of Planning & Development Services

SUBJECT: June 2021 Planning & Development Services Department Report

1. Projects: a) Information Technology / RDMW Computer Network: Staff replaced or added four monitors at the Chilton Arena office and worked on resolving day-to-day computer issues. b) Fibre Optic Connection to RDMW Facilities in Coal Harbour (2021-PROJ-08): Staff has been working with TELUS staff to make arrangements for the establishment of fiber optic cable service at several locations related to Regional District services, as part of the project to distribute the fiber optic service throughout the community of Coal Harbour. These include the Coal Harbour Volunteer Fire Department Hall, the sewage treatment plant, the water treatment plant and at five lift stations. In doing so, staff also had to assign civic addresses to the lift stations to satisfy TELUS protocols. c) Lot 7 at Alice Lake (2021-PROJ-04): Staff continue to work with legal counsel for the RDMW and the seller with respect to the acquisition of Lot 7 at the Alice Lake subdivision by the RDMW. This is not a typical property purchase due to the need to subdivide to accommodate a lot line adjustment, and to implement a covenant as part of the arrangement, both of which have complicated the transaction. d) 7 Mile Landfill Tenure Expansion: Staff continue working with Provincial staff on processing matters associated with the Crown Land Tenure Application that was prepared and submitted to the Province for the purpose of amalgamating the two existing Licence of Occupations and the inclusion of the 22 hectare expansion area, into one Crown land tenure for the 7 Mile Landfill Facility. The Province has undertaken a referrals to other Provincial agencies, as well as the Town of Port McNeill, and is initiating consultation with First Nations. The Manager of Operations has already been consulting extensively with First Nations on this project which will streamline the Province’s efforts in this regard. e) Quatsino FN Reserve Expansion (2020-PROJ-07): A news release has been issued in relation to an arrangement between the Quatsino First Nation and Western Forest Products Inc. with respect to the sale of a 172 hectare (425 acre) property in Coal Harbour on the east side of Stephens Bay, that extends from Coal Harbour Road in the north, to Holberg Inlet to the south. These lands are proposed to be converted into a reserve and would be utilized for community housing and a big house. Staff will work with the QFN as part of the process and will ensure to keep the Coal Harbour Local Community Commission and RDMW Board of Directors apprised of matters and seek their input as required. f) Planning & Operations Assistant Position: After posting and receiving 13 applications for the position, staff interviewed two candidates and concluded that another round of advertising be undertaken to try and garner additional interest in the position. The application deadline is July 30th at which time, staff will undertake a review of the applicants and conduct a shortlist and interview process. g) Provincial Lidar and Orthoimagery Project (2018-PROJ-06): Staff has now completed downloading the large volume of high-quality imagery data from the Province and in turn, has provided it to the CVRD for integration into the RDMW’s iMap geographic information system. As it turns out, special software is needed to convert the data into a format that would allow this to be undertaken. The data is expected to be available in iMap for use by all five of our local governments by the end of August. Additional high-quality imagery data was also acquired for Mount Cain which will be useful for projects associated with the ski hill operation.

h) Malcolm Island Advisory Commission (2021-PROJ-09): Potential changes to the Malcolm Island zoning bylaw to allow roosters as well as detached accessory dwellings in the smaller lot, built up area of Sointula have been topics of discussion. Staff is in the midst of preparing information and a draft bylaw for consideration by the MIAC that would have the effect of implementing such changes. i) Marine Plan Partnership (MaPP) Meeting: Staff attended a meeting of the North Vancouver Island Marine Plan Advisory Committee on June 17th. The purpose of the meeting was to review the status of various projects being undertaken by the Marine Plan Partnership in relation to implementation of the North Vancouver Island Marine Plan (NVIMP) which was completed in 2015. There are over twenty ongoing projects which deal with a range of matters including things like eco-based monitoring programs, climate change assessment, pollution clean-up, archaeological and heritage initiatives, establishment of an amendment process in relation to the North Vancouver Island Marine Plan, etc. Several minor amendments are also being proposed to the original NVIMP and these were reviewed by the Committee. The amendments are designed to address interpretation issues, eliminate redundant requirements, and improve consistency among the tables included in the document. The recommended changes also propose to enhance the ability of Provincial decision makers to interpret NVIMP recommendations in association with the review of Crown land tenure applications, as well as to assist applicants in holding discussions with First Nations and relevant existing tenure holders to minimize conflicts.

2. Crown Land Tenures: a) Mamalilikulla Economic Development Corporation (2021001): Referral of Crown Land Tenure Application with respect to two marine sites with a total area of 2.8 hectares in Canoe Passage near Knight Inlet in Electoral Area ‘A’, for log dump, booming and storage purposes in association with upland forestry operations. In its response to the Province, the RDMW indicated it had no objection to the application subject to compliance with the recommendations by the professionals in association with any assessments / reports that have been (e.g. Marine Assessment conducted by Pacificus Biological Services Inc. dated April, 2020) or are required to be conducted / prepared with respect to this proposal, as well as relevant provincial and federal government policies and regulations, and an effort by the proponent to support the local (RDMW) economy in accordance with RDMW policies, by utilizing local employment and goods and services as part of its operations, wherever possible. b) Tlowitsis First Nation (2021003): Referral from Province of a Pacific Marine Finfish Aquaculture New Site Application with respect to a 85.6 hectare area marine site located adjacent to the mainland on the west side of Chatham Channel to the east of Minstrel Island in Electoral Area ‘A’. The purpose of the application is to obtain a Crown land tenure and a marine finfish aquaculture licence to establish and operate a finfish (Atlantic salmon) aquaculture facility at this location. This site is not zoned for aquaculture purposes and a Development Application has been submitted to the RDMW to request a change in the zoning to allow it (see section 3.a) in this report). The RDMW has responded to the Province that the subject site is not zoned for finfish aquaculture purposes and the RDMW is currently processing an application to consider a change in the zoning to allow it. c) Regional District of Mount Waddington (2021002): The Leash Road day park in Coal Harbour is located on Crown land at the foot of Leash Road under Licence No. 113149, and consists of a 0.4 hectare combined upland and marine area. This Licence has expired and Provincial staff were somehow under the impression that this tenure was to be cancelled, but staff advised that this was not the case and provided updated information on the use of the tenure. Provincial staff advised that it would proceed to undertake the process necessary to renew this Licence of Occupation.

3. Zoning Bylaw Amendments: a) Tlowitsis Nation (2021-ZBA-01): The RDMW is in receipt of a Development Application submission on behalf of the Tlowitsis Nation, by its consultant and agent, Bernie Taekema. The purpose of the application is to request a change in the zone classification for the subject property, which is an 85.6 hectare area of Crown land, being land covered by water, located adjacent to the mainland on the west side of Chatham Channel to the east of Minstrel Island in Electoral Area ‘A’. The proposed change in the zoning classification for the subject property is from the existing Marine Zone (MAR-1) to a proposed new Marine Aquaculture Zone (MAQ-1). In addition to the submission of the Development Application to the RDMW with respect to the requested zone change, the Tlowitsis Nation has applied to the Province to request a Crown land tenure for this marine site for aquaculture purposes. Its partner, Grieg Seafood BC Ltd., has applied for a Marine Finfish Aquaculture Licence under the Federal Fisheries Act in order to establish and operate a finfish aquaculture facility at this location.

4. Liquor - Cannabis Licensing: a) Food Primary Liquor Licence No. 308752 – Roxy’s Diner, Alder Bay (RDMW File 2021-LIQ-01): Due to pandemic concerns, the Province provided opportunities available to amend existing liquor licenses to include additional outdoor patio space for up to sixty persons to accommodate distancing and related pandemic restrictions. As such, Alder Bay Holdings Ltd. applied to create patio space as part of its Roxy’s Diner facility and the RDMW reviewed the proposal and provided written confirmation of zoning compliance to the Province and the Province has approved the temporary expanded service area authorization which expires on October 31, 2021.

5. Bylaw Enforcement: a) Use of Recreation Vehicles as Dwellings in Woss: Staff previously advised regarding five incidents of zoning bylaw infractions related to the use of recreational vehicles as dwellings on residentially zoned properties in Woss. Staff had written to the property owners and dealt with them on an ongoing basis to rectify these situations. Staff is now able to report that all five situations have been resolved on a voluntary basis without the need for the use of enforcement by issuing tickets.
