Once again, I am looking forward to meeting with all of our members from the Island, Sunshine Coast and the Central Coast. REPRESENTING AVICC ON THE UBCM BOARD Both Past President Barry Janyk and I have had the honor of continuing to serve on the UBCM Executive. Mayor Janyk is now serving his third term of office with UBCM after being re-elected Director at Large last September in Whistler. As AVICC President, I continue to serve in the capacity of the AVICC representative on the Board. It has been a rewarding and valuable experience. Mayor Janyk continues to participate on the First Nations Relations and Community Economic Development Committees and I will be participating on the Convention and Resolutions Committees. MEETINGS OF THE AVICC EXECUTIVE The Executive will have met in person five times this year (April 10, June 14, October 29, 2010 and January 14 and April 7, 2011) and via teleconference twice (April 23 and September 10, 2010) at which time a wide range of issues have been raised and discussed. Some of the key issues under discussion and actions taken in the current year have included: Derelict Vessels – At the 2010 AVICC Convention, four resolutions on derelict vessels were endorsed with a further resolution to AVICC to draft, in consultation with the respective sponsors, a single resolution incorporating all of the salient points of the four original resolutions. Mayor Darren Inkster, Sechelt chaired a sub-committee composed of Councillor John Rogers, View Royal; Councillor Adam Olsen, Central Saanich and Director Sheila Malcolmson with assistance from policy analyst, Clare Frater, Islands Trust to draft the resolution. The original sponsors of the four resolutions reviewed and approved the revised resolution. It was then endorsed by AVICC Executive at its June meeting, forwarded to UBCM by the June 30 deadline and was subsequently endorsed by the 2010 UBCM Convention. In follow-up to the sub-committeeʼs recommendation, a “Finding Solutions to the Management of Derelict Vessels” workshop was also planned as part of the 2010 UBCM Convention. It was held on Thursday, September 30 from 2-4 pm with approximately 90 delegates in attendance. Presenters included: Sheila Malcolmson, Chair, Island Trust Council; Melissa Ferris, Program Manager, Derelict Vessel Removal Program, Washington State Department of Natural Resources; Bob Gowe, Manager, Navigable Waters Protection, Transport Canada; and Duncan Williams, Executive Director, Regional Operations, Crown Land Operations & Acquaculture, Province of BC. The workshop was well received by those in attendance. In late November the Province initiated the establishment of a Joint Working Group for Removal of Derelict Vessels in BC consisting of policy staff from the three levels of government. Brenda Gibson, UBCM and Clare Frater, Islands Trust will be representing local government. Bob Gowe represents the federal government and Duncan Williams and Melinda Nagy-Surdu represent the Province. The first meeting of the committee took place January 13, 2011 in Victoria. During its January meeting, Brenda Gibson provided a brief update to Executive and in exchange received requested feedback on a number of key points. BC Ferries Fares and Service – Resolution LR2 - BC Ferries Fare Increases endorsed by AVICC last April was referred directly to the UBCM Executive without need of debate at the 2010 UBCM Convention. Mr. Tony Law, Chair of the Ferry Advisory Chairs Committee was invited to attend the October Executive meeting to provide an overview of the role of the ferry advisory committees and outline the process to be undertaken leading up to the renewal of the Coastal Ferry Services contract. In follow-up, a letter was written to Minister Shirley Bond highlighting the issues of ferry fares increases and service level reductions and the effects these have made on the island and coastal communities as it related to the renewal of the Coastal Ferry 2011 AVICC ANNUAL REPORT AND RESOLUTIONS 1 Contract and requesting the extension of BC Ferries Commissioner Martin Crilly to allow completion of the work in preparation for setting the price caps for Performance Term 3. Assistant Deputy Minister, Kevin Richter responded on January 4, 2011 indicating that Commissioner Crillyʼs contract had been extended to May 1 to allow a smooth transition to the new Commissioner, Gordon Macatee. At the November 19, 2010 UBCM Board meeting, an ad hoc committee composed of Mayor Causton, Mayor Janyk, Tony Law, Chair of the Ferry Advisory Chairs Committee and supported by UBCM staff Gary MacIsaac and Marie Crawford was established to respond to the resolution. The first meeting was held January 19, 2011. Gas Franchise Fees Agreements Expiring December 31, 2011 – At its June meeting, Executive noted that it would again be necessary to meet with the new Minister of Community and Rural Development to provide the background on the file and bring attention to the issue. At the October meeting, Executive established a sub- committee composed of Mayor Causton, Chair Stanhope, Mayor Ruttan and CAO Doug Holmes of City of Nanaimo, and CAO Tim Woods from Central Saanich.

  • B.C. Today – Daily Report July 18, 2019 “Being In
    B.C. Today – Daily Report July 18, 2019 Quotation of the day “Being in opposition sucks.” Liberal Forests critic John Rustad prefers government to opposition. ​ ​ Today in B.C. The House is adjourned for the summer recess. Two years of the NDP: Liberal MLAs on life in opposition Two years ago today, Premier John Horgan and the NDP cabinet were sworn in as B.C.’s ​ ​ government, more than two months after the 2017 election in which the B.C. Liberal Party won a plurality of votes and seats. Despite rampant speculation that the NDP alliance with the Green Party would fail within months, there is little indication the province will be heading back to the polls any time soon. To mark the second anniversary of the swearing in, BC Today interviewed three Liberal MLAs ​ ​ — two former cabinet ministers and one who is serving his first term in provincial office — to discuss the challenges of serving in opposition. “Talk about a whirlwind.” After nearly a decade as a city councillor, Liberal Agriculture critic Ian Paton was elected to ​ ​ represent Delta South in May 2017 and was thrilled to be heading to the legislature as a member of the governing party — or so he thought. “Winning the election was pretty cool,” Paton said. “We were setting up our offices in the east wing. Then, of course, everything sort of went sideways with the Greens teaming up with the NDP and … suddenly we were in opposition.” On June 29, the Liberal government fell in a confidence vote, forced by NDP and Green Party MLAs who together held 44 seats to the Liberals’ 42.

  • Woodfibre LNG Donations to BC Liberals
    Hope Dallas From: Mona Helcermanas-Benge <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, March 15, 2017 3:45 PM To: Mayor Council Subject: UPDATE: Boycott of Woodfibre LNG's Environmental Assessment Attachments: MS2S - Documenting EA boycott 2017-03-11 - FINAL.pdf Importance: High Note: Please distribute to Mayor Skeels and Municipality of Bowen Island Council Members Dear Mayor Skeels and Municipality of Bowen Island Council members: We are very concerned to learn of the illegal donations that Woodfibre LNG and their staff and lobbyists have donated to the BC Liberal party. Following these revelations, we initiated our own research to determine the extent of the donations that Woodfibre LNG and their staff have donated to the BC Liberal party. To date, Woodfibre LNG and their staff have donated at least $166,934 to the BC Liberal Party since 2013, while the project was undergoing its environmental assessment. This calls into question the integrity of BC's environmental assessment process. We have asked that the Provincial and Federal Environmental Assessment Certificates issued for the Woodfibre LNG be suspended until an independent legal review is conducted to determine whether there is a reasonable apprehension of bias by the BC Environmental Assessment Agency, Minister Rich Coleman, and Minister Mary Polak. Please see the attached documents detailing our boycott of the recent public comment period for the Woodfibre LNG amendment to the environmental assessment certificate. More than 1,455 people participated in a little over four days. Best
