The topic on which the delegation wishes to speak; Update on the activities of the Community Energy Manager, including Step Code adoption, retrofits (Kootenay Clean Energy Transition) and organics. 2. An executive summary or outline of the presentation to be made; Recognizing that local and regional governments have necessarily focused their efforts around emergency operations in response to Covid‐19 in recent months, policy adoption and implementation has been delayed. However, with the transition to recovery, there is opportunity to influence how our industries and communities establish long‐term resilience. The CEM has continue to develop opportunities in new construction, existing homes, organics and electric mobility. This presentation will focus on the opportunity now to establish regional step code timelines to support transition to Step Code (recommendation that all remaining communities aim for Step 2 by Jan 1, 2021). Workplan updates on the Kootenay Clean Energy Transition (with a focus on retrofits) and current status on the organics infrastructure project will be provided. 3. The name of the designated speaker(s); Megan Lohmann 4. The specific action which is being requested of the Board or Committee; and No specific action – receive information and consider opportunities for Step Code adoption as presented. 5. Whether or not you will require use of audio / visual equipment. (Note: for more on the audio/visual equipment we have available, please refer to the link called “Audio / Visual Aids”). Hoping to “attend” via zoom, or whatever mechanism is appropriate. I will have slides to speak to.

  • CLIMBS in the FRESHFIELD and OTHER GROUPS of the CANADIAN ROCKIES, 1930. by J. Monroe Thorington
    Climbs in Freshfield and other Groups of Canadian Rockies. 75 CLIMBS IN THE FRESHF_IELD AN D OTHER GROUPS OF THE CANADIAN RocKIES, 1930. BY J. MONROE THORINGTON. HE success of a previous season together resulted in a renewal of a partnership between Mr. 0. E. Cromwell and the writer for a climbing trip in the Canadian Rockies during the summer of 1930. Cromwell brought out Peter Kaufmann, of Grindelwald, a guide whose father and uncles were known to Canadian climbers twenty years ago. Kaufmann was loaned to me for the time preceding Cromwell's arrival, and we met in Y oho Valley on June 18. As our programme included climbs in the groups along the North Saskatchewan river, I planned to take Peter to Bow Lake by way of the Waputik snowfield and make ascents from that base while awaiting our companions. The season began exceptionally late, and great avalanches from Mt. Wapta so filled the valley with drifts that tunnels had to be cut before the camp could be reached by motor. We proceeded to Twin Falls cabin on June 19, finding the last mile of trail so obstructed by snow and fallen timber that a horse could go no further, and we were obliged to carry our loads from this point. On June 20 we went uptrail and through snow-filled woods to a huge rock near the Habel Glacier. The weather became unfavourable and we cached our baggage, returning to Twin Falls and finally, in pouring rain, to Takakkaw camp. Two days later the intermittent storms were not yet over, snow had softened and we were forced to bring our packs down.

  • The North Wing of the Columbia Group
    290 THE NORTH WING OF THE COLUMBIA GROUP • THE NORTH WING OF THE COLUMBIA • GROUP CANADIAN RocKY MouNTAINS BY J. MONROE THORINGTON MOST striking topographical feature of the central Canadian Rocky Mountains, that portion of the main range between the Canadian Pacific and the Canadian National· Railways, is the tendency of the n1ain watershed to deviate from its general northerly course and make sharp bends towards the W. These deviations occur at three points : Howse Peak, the Snow Dome, and Fortress Lake Pass, leaving as a result, in the mountain groups in which they are found, huge N. wings or wedges of peaks projecting from the watershed into the river forks of the Alberta slope. Thus, at the Howse Peak deviation, one finds a mountain mass extending into the angle between Mistaya and Howse rivers, terminating in Mt. Sarbach. From the Snow Dome, on the Columbia icefield, there stretches the gigantic sector of peaks on Habel and Lynx creeks, filling in the Athabaska-Sunwapta angle. North of the bend at Fortress Lake lies the group of peaks between the Athabaska and the Whirlpool, culminating in M t. F ryatt. Even no'v these wedges are little kno,vn and but incompletely mapped. The present paper is devoted to the central of these sectors, the mountains of the Athabaska-Sunwapta angle, the N. wing of the Columbia Group. When one is on the Columbia icefield it is quite evident that this area forms a distinct compact unit. From the vicinity of the Snow Dome, the hydrographic apex of the icefield's tri-oceanic watershed, the troughs of the Athabaska and the Columbia Glaciers descend in opposite directions from the same neve, their drainage swinging northward into the gorges of the Sunwapta and Athabaska rivers, whose valleys then converge and unite at the northern apex of the wedge.

  • Alpine Notes 133
    • ALPINE NOTES 133 ALPINE NOTES • (Compiled by D. F. 0. Dangar) PERSONAL. We congratulate Major-General J. M. L. Gavin on being appointed a Companion of the Order of the Bath. We also congratulate Mr. lain Ogilvie on receiving the M.B.E. and the Bronze Medal of the Royal Humane Society and Dr. T. W. Patey on receiving the Queen's Commendation for Gallantry for their services in connection with the rescue operations following the accident in the Scottish mountains in April, 1966, in which C. B. C. Handley lost his life. We congratulate Lieut.-Col. J. 0. M. Roberts on being made an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society. Dr. G. 0. Dyhrenfurth has been elected an Honorary Member of the Alpine Club. A leading authority on the Himalaya, Dr. Dyhrenfurth led expeditions to Kangchenjunga in 1930 and to the Baltoro region in 1934; four 7ooo-ers were climbed for the first time in the course of these expeditions. Author of several books, some of which have been translated into English, he has also written numerous articles in mountaineering journals and his invaluable 'Chronique Himalayenne' is well-known to readers of Les Alpes. M.C.S.A. We offer our belated but nonetheless hearty congratula­ tions and good wishes to the Mountain Club of South Africa on having celebrated last year the seventy-fifth anniversary of its foundation in 1891. ANoTHER CASUALTY. It is a far cry from the day in 1864 when Leslie Stephen and his companions played cricket in the 'high street' of Zinal with a rail for a bat and a granite boulder for a ball while awaiting fine weather before making the first ascent of the Zinal Rothorn.
