While it seems to be pretty straightforward, I am hoping you can tell me if there is anything I should be concerned about. We had the information meeting and 2 people showed up from the townhouse strata. They were concerned about their back fences. We said we would reorganize their back fences if necessary at no cost to them and that seemed to satisfy them. Since we are replacing 43 townhouses with 15 single family lots and a duplex we think everyone should be happy. Thanks John Kenneth W.

We thank everyone who took the time out of their busy UBCM schedule to attend. Now we’d like to take the opportunity to remind you about the TLA’s key messages for BC’s coastal communities: First, Know Where We Are The TLA has 435 members. How many TLA member companies operate in your community? Lots! Find out exactly how many here. Second, Know Who We Are TLA members operate small to medium sized businesses in your communities. All TLA members are local business people who want to see their coastal communities flourish. Third, Know How You Can Support Us 1. Remember that forestry isn’t an external force. The forest industry is within your community, creating jobs and supporting the local economy. Talk to us when you have a forestry question. 2. Remember that forests are a renewable resource. We’re not harvesting to make room for a new subdivision or strip mall. New trees will be planted and the industry is legally required to grow a healthy new forest to replace the harvested one. The Sunshine Coast can grow a forest is 60 years! We’ve been harvesting trees on this coast for two centuries and we will continue to—long into the future. 3. We handed out an Op Ed about successful harvesting that took place this past spring on Maurelle Island, part of the Discovery Islands, at UBCM. You can now read the whole story published in the fall issue of Truck LoggerBC: “Three Different Islands, Three Different Tales: Trying to Log on BC’s South Coast.” If you have a forestry issue in your community that you’d like feedback on, please get it touch. If we can’t answer your question, we’ll find someone who can. Best regards, Brenda Brenda Martin Director of Communications The Truck Loggers Association T: 604.684.4291 ext. 2 C: 604.339.7554 E: [email protected] 5 6 Ubcm 2014 app To: Mayor and Council, District of Sechelt From: Sue Jackel, #404, 5631 Inlet Ave., Sechelt Date: October 19, 2014 Subject: Application to UBCM for Age-Friendly Planning Grant—Letter of Support Dear Mayor and Council, UBCM administers an annual grant to communities for up to $20,000 to create age-friendly planning and projects. The funding comes from the provincial ministry of health, which has responsibility for seniors. Applicants must be municipal bodies, not community organizations, and must agree to administer the funding for the planning exercise or project. Information on the grant can be found at the UBCM website, and the Ministry of Health Seniors website. This year’s granting program was announced on September 23 and the deadline is October 31. Sechelt has applied and been awarded in the past, for a seniors survey, guidelines for accessible buildings, and a directory of resources on the Sunshine Coast for seniors. We have also been recognized by this ongoing program as an age-friendly community: see the plaque in the hallway outside the council meeting room. On behalf of an ad hoc community planning group, I wish to request a letter of support for an application for $20,000 to go towards a contract position for a seniors planning coordinator for the entire Coast. This position would be advertised and administered by the Community Resource Center, in collaboration with the Sunshine Coast Community Services Society, and will cover approximately 8 months wages of a part-time position. Funding to continue the position will come from other grants and funding sources. Time is of the essence, as the deadline is imminent. I will be working with Amy Lang in Development Services to complete the application and the Director of Development Services will need a couple of days to review and sign off. I hope this request for a letter of support can be attended to at this week’s Council meeting, or by circulation of this email to all Council members. Thank you for consideration of this request.

  • Lillooet Between Sechelt and Shuswap Jan P. Van Eijk First
    Lillooet between Sechelt and Shuswap Jan P. van Eijk First Nations University of Canada Although most details of the grammatical and lexical structure of Lillooet put this language firmly within the Interior branch of the Salish language family, Lillooet also shares some features with the Coast or Central branch. In this paper we describe some of the similarities between Lillooet and one of its closest Interior relatives, viz., Shuswap, and we also note some similarities be­ tween Lillooet and Sechelt, one of Lillooet' s western neighbours but belonging to the Coast branch. Particular attention is paid to some obvious loans between Lillooet and Sechelt. 1 Introduction Lillooet belongs with Shuswap to the Interior branch of the Salish language family, while Sechelt belongs to the Coast or Central branch. In what follows we describe the similarities and differences between Lillooet and both Shuswap and Sechelt, under the following headings: Phonology (section 2), Morphology (3), Lexicon (4), and Lillooet-Sechelt borrowings (5). Conclusions are given in 6. I omit a comparison between the syntactic patterns of these three languages, since my information on Sechelt syntax is limited to a brief text (Timmers 1974), and Beaumont 1985 is currently unavailable to me. Although borrowings between Lillooet and Shuswap have obviously taken place, many of these will be impossible to trace due to the close over-all resemblance between these two languages. Shuswap data are mainly drawn from the western dialects, as described in Kuipers 1974 and 1975. (For a description of the eastern dialects I refer to Kuipers 1989.) Lillooet data are from Van Eijk 1997, while Sechelt data are from Timmers 1973, 1974, 1977.

  • Vancouver Island and Sunshine Coast Region Air Transportation Outlook I
    Vancouver Island and Sunshine Coast Region Air Transportation Outlook Final Report strategic transportation & tourism solutions Prepared by InterVISTAS Consulting Inc. June 17, 2008 June 17, 2008 Confidential Vancouver Island and Sunshine Coast Region Air Transportation Outlook i Executive Summary InterVISTAS Consulting Inc. was retained by the Vancouver Island Economic Developers Association (VIEDA) to develop a Vancouver Island and Sunshine Coast Region Air Transportation Outlook. Most airports in Canada and all but one of the airports in the study area are managed by independent authorities or by municipal councils of the communities they serve. These airports are free to participate in any market sector in which they see opportunity: as defined and sanctioned by their Board’s mission, vision and strategic plan for their community’s airport. Key factors that govern and shape decisions around market participation are: ■ Market opportunities in terms of underserved regions, low levels of service and the airport’s competitive positioning in that sector based on market analysis ■ The operational capability of the airport to participate in target markets ■ A business case that supports the investment to enter target markets The InterVISTAS’ approach and methodology for this study was shaped by these considerations. The report assesses levels of service by defined regions and market sectors, identifies current levels of service, assesses airports’ capabilities in the region and recommends development subject to detailed business case analysis. Section 2 of the report presents an overview of the socio-economic and demographic characteristics of the seven major Regional Districts contained in the study area. The data shows significant forecast population growth for the Central Island Regional Districts of Nanaimo, Comox/Strathacona and the Cowichan Valley as well as the Sunshine Coast Regional District (Gibsons/Sechelt).

The primary purpose of this study was to provide a scientific basis for establishing guidelines on the use and placement of creosote treated wood in sensitive marine aquatic habitats under ‘worst case’ conditions. The study focused on the chemical and biological effects from newly installed six- piling dolphins constructed with used pilings treated by conventional methods and pilings freshly treated with techniques designed to produce a cleaner and more environmentally sensitive product by placing them in a natural undisturbed location, free from outside sources of contamination.

  • The Sechelt Indian Band: an Analysis of a New Form of Native Self Government
    THE SECHELT INDIAN BAND: AN ANALYSIS OF A NEW FORM OF NATIVE SELF GOVERNMENT CAROL E. ETKIN Faculty Of Environmental Studies, Yo r k U n i ve r s i t y Downsview, Ontario, Canada, M3J 1P3. ABSTRACT/RESUME In 1984 the Sechelt Indian Band of British Columbia became the first indigenous Band in Canada to develop its own consti- tution and to withdraw the lands of the reserve from the Indian Act. This article studies the process which leads to Native Self Government, and the structure of the new government. En 1984, la bande Sechelt de la Colombie britannique devint la première bande autochtone du Canada à développer sa propre constitution et à retirer les terres de la réserve de l'Acte Indien. Cet article étudie le processus qui mène à l'autonomie, et la structure du nouveau gouvernement. 74 Carol E. Etkin Introduction The Sechelt Band in British Columbia has recently regained self- government through special federal and provincial enabling legisla- tion. This paper will examine this unique legislative solution to one Band's search for self-determination. The paper will look at various concepts of self-government and aboriginal rights to set the context for the following discussion. Varying concepts of land tenure and land holding will be viewed. The paper will look at the Sechelt Band, who they are and how they came to create this new level of government in Canada. The legal framework which enabled this third level of government to come into existence will be examined in light of the powers, responsibilities, and duties that were redistributed among the Fed- eral Government, Province and Band.

DIRECTION FROM COUNCIL This report responds to Council Resolution #16-249 (July 25, 2016): That Council direct the Economic Development Committee to include in its 2017 work plan the feasibility of implementing municipal business licensing and report back to Council with those recommendations by April 2017.

BACKGROUND The Community Charter gives a municipal council the ability to adopt a bylaw that requires business licensing within its jurisdiction. Business licensing programs are generally intended to • help ensure public health and safety • help ensure businesses are accountable for their actions • increase knowledge and understanding of the economy and businesses in a community • help provide adequate data for planning purposes, and • enable business networking and promotion According to 2016 statistics from the then Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development, there are 162 municipalities in British Columbia and almost all require business licences.
