From: To: SiteC Review / Examen SiteC [CEAA] Cc: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Please deny the Site C mega-dam Date: April 3, 2013 8:35:06 PM Linda Jones Panel Manager Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency 22nd Floor, 160 Elgin Street Ottawa Ontario K1A 0H3 [email protected] Dear Ms. Jones, Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) submitted by B.C. Hydro with regard to the proposed Site C dam on the Peace River. The Peace River valley is a significant historical, cultural and natural feature in northern B.C. This significance is recognized by the B.C. government’s designation of the Peace as a Heritage River. The river is heavily used by local residents for boating, swimming, rafting and fishing. The Peace River has significant cultural and historic values associated with First Nations settlement. The upper reaches of river have already been developed for hydro power. The WAC Bennett and Peace Canyon hydro-electric dams produce 31 per cent of British Columbia's hydro-electric power. A third dam, called Site C, is now proposed for the Peace River downstream from the confluence with the Moberly River, near the city of Fort St. John. B.C. Hydro is seeking federal and provincial approval to construct Site C and create a third reservoir on the river. This would destroy virtually all of the historic Peace River that remains within B.C. The purpose of the EIS is to assess the significance of the impacts of the Site C dam and determine whether or not they can be mitigated or offset.

I was glad to read about the Vancouver Board of Education’s goal to make it safer and more enjoyable for children to get to school using active forms of transportation. As you know, this goal aligns with the provincial government’s new active transportation strategy—Move. Commute. Connect. The Province wants to make active transportation safer and more convenient for everyone, with the goal of doubling the percentage of active transportation trips by 2030. As part of our strategy, we will help fund the planning of safe and active routes to school. Ministry staff are currently working with colleagues across government and at TransLink on this initiative. We are also funding the Everyone Rides Grade 4 to 5 pilot project to provide bike skills courses in Metro Vancouver, Greater Victoria and Kelowna this spring.

B.C. Today – Daily Report June 17, 2019 “We Need John Horgan and His Government to Step up and Take Action — Any Action T
B.C. Today – Daily Report June 17, 2019 Quotation of the day “We need John Horgan and his government to step up and take action — any action — to help our small, forest-dependent towns get through this challenging time.” Liberal MLA Dan Davies (Peace River North) says the NDP government has not done enough to support forestry-dependent communities, as mills around the province continue to close and curtail production. Today in B.C. The House is adjourned for the summer recess. Committees this week The Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services is conducting public consultations on Budget 2020 this week, starting with a session in Prince Rupert at the Highliner Plaza Hotel and Conference Centre at 2 p.m. today. Committee members will also visit Kitimat, Prince George, Fort St. John and Quesnel before heading back to the Lower Mainland for a consultation in Abbotsford on Thursday. The consultation period ends on June 28. Mill closures and curtailments lead to political jousting As announcements of mill closures and curtailments pile up, the opposition B.C. Liberals are calling on the NDP government to slash stumpage rates and reduce the carbon tax for the province’s forestry sector. “To date, the John Horgan government has thrown up its hands and told forest-dependent communities there is nothing it can do to help them,” Liberal Leader Andrew Wilkinson said in a statement, released in tandem with a letter addressed to the premier last week. “This is failed leadership on the part of John Horgan — plain and simple. Hard-working B.C.

Provincial Species at Risk Legislation
To: The Hon. George Heyman, Minister of Environment and Climate Change Strategy cc. The Hon. John Horgan, Premier; The Hon. Doug Donaldson, Minister of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development; and the Hon. Scott Fraser, Minister of Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation Dear Minister Heyman, Thank you for inviting input on provincial species at risk legislation. The undersigned environmental and animal welfare organizations have worked together closely to submit joint principles that would inform a meaningful law to safeguard the web of life as we know it in British Columbia, and give our species at risk a path to recovery. Science-based, expedited protection for species and ecosystems was never more urgent than it is today, in light of ongoing habitat destruction and the accelerating impacts of global warming. While much of the existing ecological damage can be attributed to the failure of previous governments to take steps to protect our threatened biodiversity, it is now your government’s responsibility to expedite new conservation steps before the loss of our biodiversity becomes unmanageable. BC’s new species at risk legislation must protect and recover at-risk species and rare plant communities first by protecting functional habitat and the ecological processes upon which the relevant species rely, and second by restoring habitat that has been degraded so that the necessary ecological processes can be recovered. Further details about what is needed in BC’s new law are set out in the attached document. Species at risk legislation alone will not, however, be enough to protect BC’s species and ecosystems in the long-term.

Furthermore, by compromising the ability of the Trust to protect forest ecosystems and green carbon sinks throughout the Trust Area, the current PMFL Act is also compromising the Trust’s Reconciliation Action Plan and efforts to mitigate and adapt to climate change in the Trust Area. On June 17, 2020, the Islands Trust Council passed the following resolution: Trust Council requested the Chair write to the Honourable Doug Donaldson, Minister of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development (FLNRORD), and the Honourable Selina Robinson, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing (MAH), and the Honourable Scott Fraser, Minister of Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation (MIRR), requesting amendments to the Private Managed Forest Land Act that would enable local trust committees to regulate, but not prohibit, forest activities on land within the Islands Trust Area.

The Safety of All Road Users Is a Ministry Priority and We Remain
Cariboo Regional District File No. 14 , ao a BRITISH OCT 3 0 2019 COLUMBIA Referred To G.62.is9ti OCT 3 0 2019 Margo A. Wagner, Chair Reference: 288982 Cariboo Regional District Your File: 400- 20 180 N Third Avenue, Suite D Williams Lake BC V2G 2A4 Dear Chair Wagner, Re: Maple Drive Thank you for your letter requesting the ministry install streetlights on Maple Drive in Quesnel. Due to the re-opening of the Maple Drive School and the increased industrial traffic on Maple Drive due to the Johnson Bridge closure you mention, the ministry conducted traffic counts along the route in June, and regional traffic engineers assessed the route from a pedestrian perspective. The engineers recommended installing larger pedestrian advisory signs, adding new warning signs and repainting the existing crosswalks. These works were completed this past summer, and a third crosswalk with signs was also added across Maple Drive. To support compliance with the posted speeds, staffinstalled temporary speed reader boards near the school zones and will continue to monitor traffic operations in the area. I understand the ministry' s local District Manager, Todd Hubner, met with Cariboo Regional District Area A Director Mary Sjostrom this past spring to discuss street lights. As Mr. Hubner indicated at that meeting, local governments are responsible for funding, installing and maintaining street lights on side roads such as Maple Drive. The safety ofall road users is a ministry priority and we remain committed to continuing to work closely with regional district representatives to ensure the local transportation network functions safely and efficiently for all road users.
