We are informed that flow management is included in Metro Vancouver's Solid Waste Management Plan and that their regional district has met the Ministry's public consultation requirements prior to submitting the bylaw for your approval. Our Board understands that waste flow management is an important regulatory tool to support the implementation of local governments' solid waste management plans and regulate the flow of municipal waste and recyclable materials as provided for in the Environmental Management Act. Waste flow management is becoming an important issue for many regional districts in British Columbia. The CRD may review waste flow management and regulatory approaches as part of the development of its new Integrated Solid Waste and Resource Management Plan. We support the principle that, where the authority has been granted through an approved Solid Waste Management Plan, a regional district may require that municipal solid waste, recyclable and organic materials generated within that jurisdiction be received at designated facilities. We appreciate Metro Vancouver's work on this emerging issue and support the authority of local government to decide upon this matter. We will follow this important solid waste issue and your decision with interest.

Newell, Chief Administrative Officer DATE: March 20. 2014 OKANAGAN· SIHII.KAHEEN RE: Support for Flow Control Provisions in SoHd Waste Management Plans Administrative Recommendation: THAT the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen provide a letter for Metro Vancouver supporting the principal that, where the power has been granted through an approved Solid Waste Management Plan, a Regional District may require that municipal solid waste, recycling and organic matter generated within that Regional District be received at a facility licensed by that Regional District. Reference: Letter February 12, 2014 from Greg Moore, Metro Vancouver Chair, "Metro Vancouver Waste Flow Management and the Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District Recyclable Material Regulatory Bylaw No. 280" Metro Vancouver Website "Metro Vancouver Waste Flow Management• History: The Province of BC approved Metro Vancouver's Mlntegrated Solid Waste and Resource Management Plan" in 2011 . The Plan calls for the potential use of 'flow control' to ensure waste generated within the Metro Vancouver Regional District is disposed of at a facility licensed by Metro Vancouver. The Plan recognized the financial and environmental risk of waste being brought to unlicensed facilities. Licensed facilities, including private and local government owned, require enough tipping fees to ensure their financial viability. Flow control is also a tool to ensure that all waste is handled in a manner to increase recyclable and organic diversion as envisioned by the Plan. Due to certain haulers removing waste from Metro Vancouver to an unlicensed facility, Metro Vancouver has submitted to the Province the QGreater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage Recyclable Material Regulatory Bylaw No. 280". The BC Minister of Environment has informed Metro Vancouver that she is concerned with effects of flow control on private businesses that may choose to take waste, recycling or organics to unlicensed facilities. Metro Vancouver is requesting that Regional Districts across the Province provide letters of support for the flow control restrictions in Metro Vancouver Bylaw No. 280. The Province requires that all Regional Districts develop a Solid Waste Management Plan. The development of these Plans are overseen and ultimately approved by the Province and require extensive public and commercial consultation. If approved by the Province, any power granted to the Regional District within the plan would not require the further assent of electors to establish bylaws. The RDOS went through a comprehensive multi-year revision of its Solid Waste Management Plan adopted in 2012. The creation of our Solid Waste Management Plan involved the creation of three parallel committees, extensive public and commercial consultation and a nearly yearlong review by the Province before being adopted. The issue of flow control was discussed but not included within the revised RDOS Solid Waste Management Plan. L:\Board Staff Reports\2014\2014·03-20\Boardreports\Approved\Metro_Vaneouver_Request_For_Support.Docx File No. Page 1 of 2 Analysis: Metro Vancouver is aspiring to divert 80% of waste by 2020 and develop expensive waste to energy facilities. Their current tipping fee for municipal solid waste varies around $108 per tonne at licensed facilities and may potentially increase with further diversion of waste or the development of waste to energy technologies. There is a financial incentive for companies to find other cheaper methods of disposing of waste. One method being employed now is transferring waste to Abbotsford and then shipping it to a massive landfill along the border of Washington and Oregon state. Waste transferred in this manner may not meet requirements for recycling and organic removal required for licensed facilities in Metro Vancouver. It also removes tipping fees from licensed facilities complying with Metro Vancouver bylaws. There are several reasons to support the principal that flow control powers granted by the Province to Regional Districts be respected: • The Province has overseen the public consultation process and approved the language of the Solid Waste Management Plan. Reversing the approval of a section of the Plan has the potential to undermine other related segments of the Plan. • The intent of the Solid Waste Management Planning process is to allow for thorough consultation. Private interests that feel their business may be impacted have opportunity to voice their concerns during this process. Before approving a Plan, Regional District Boards and the Province are required to assess these concerns as part of the planning process and assess them in terms of the greater good of the Regional District. Not allowing a power within the approved Plan to be utilized, due to special interests, has the potential to undermine the consultation component of the Solid Waste Management Planning process. • The implementation of flow control provides a level playing field for all waste haulers to compete on efficiency and service. Allowing for haulers to divert waste to avoid regulations on recycling and composting undermines the Solid Waste Management process and places licensed facilities and the haulers using these facilities at a financial disadvantage. • The RDOS has 7 different waste receiving facilities. There are several other waste receiving facilities in neighbouring

  • Desperately Seeking Representation: an Investigation Into Visible Minority Electability Under Vancouver’S At-Large Electoral System
    Desperately Seeking Representation: An Investigation into Visible Minority Electability under Vancouver’s At-large Electoral System by Matthew G. Smith A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master’s of Arts in Human Geography Graduate Department of Geography University of Toronto © 2011 Desperately Seeking Representation: An Investigation into Visible Minority Electability under Vancouver’s At-large Electoral System Matthew G. Smith Master’s of Arts Degree in Human Geography Department of Geography University of Toronto 2011 Abstract The results of Vancouver’s 2008 municipal election led to critiques that South Asian candidates, and possibly all visible minority candidates, face reduced electability under Vancouver’s at-large electoral system than they would under a different municipal electoral system. This thesis employs numerous quantitative research methods to assess whether visible minority candidates do face reduced electability under the at-large system compared to a ward system proposed for Vancouver in 2004. The extent that Vancouver’s 2008 election results fulfil three U.S. Supreme Court conditions for establishing minority vote dilution is also assessed as part of this thesis research. ii Acknowledgments Profound thanks to my wife, Heather Fussell, who supported me through my doubts and confusion and without whom the completion of this thesis would not have been possible. I am also indebted to my supervisor, Dr. Alan Walks, whose guidance and input was invaluable in helping me plan and execute my research and write this thesis. I would also like to thank my sister, Annabel Smith, who helped with editing and pep talks and my “coach”, Laurel Jebamani, whose skills and feedback assisted me in successfully applying to the University of Toronto.

  • April 17, 2014 Hon. Christy Clark Premier of British Columbia PO
    April 17, 2014 Hon. Christy Clark Premier of British Columbia PO BOX 9041 STN PROV GOVT Victoria BC V8W 9E1 Dear Premier: Re: De‐regulating Shale Gas Development We wish to convey our deepest concerns regarding the Order in Council, approved by Lt. Governor Guichon on April 11, 2014 and deposited by Minister Mary Polak on April 14, 2014, which amends the reviewable projects regulations exempting “sweet gas plants” from the BC environmental assessment process. Although Minister Rustad was in Fort Nelson on April 13, 2014 he did not attend the BC First Nations Shale Gas‐LNG Summit convened April 14 – 16, 2014. Instead, the First Nations Chiefs and Leaders were addressed by Ministers Rustad and Coleman on April 15, 2014 through a video presentation. There was not any mention of the BC Government’s decision reflected in the Order in Council. The Chiefs and Leaders were deeply insulted and offended. The credibility and trust of the BC government Ministers were seriously questioned by the Chiefs and Leaders. We have the April 16, 2014 Declaration (attached) from the Fort Nelson First Nation and we completely support it. We also support the call by Chief Sharleen Gale and the Fort Nelson First Nation Council calling on a “Chief to Chief” meeting directly with you. We are aware of Minister Polak stating the Order in Council will be rescinded. This should be done at the earliest possible date. As well, it is absolutely important that your government not re‐introduce this de‐ regulation initiative in any form. Thank you for your attention to this important matter and we look forward to an early response.
