Village of Valemount Mayor and Council P. O. Box 168 Valemount, BC VOE2Z0
Your Worship and Members of Council,
Recently, a beautiful forest on a 65 and ‘/2acre parcel of property at 202 Ash Street was completely logged out. As this is private property, there was no formal requirement for public consultation or notification on such a massive deforestation project in the heart of Valemount.
This forest was used by generations of Valemount residents as a peaceful place for walks, bike rides, and for children to play in. Itwas home to much wildlifeand plant life. A brief stroll through this unique forest would have shown a number of children's forts, and even a horse corral. It was a special place that fostered many fond memories.
in addition to the aesthetic, cultural, and recreational aspects of this forest, the 65 & ‘/2 acres of trees contained on the 202 Ash Street property provided significant benefits to all the residents of Valemount, including:
lowering energy consumption through shading and wind control; reducing greenhouse gas emissions; improving air quality; reducing storm water runoff; and increasing soil and dust retention.
At the August 11, 2015 Council meeting, 9"‘Avenue resident, Paul Johnson, reported that he had already noticed an increase in the wind at his residence.
According to American Forests, a U.S. conservation organization, every acre of forest removes or “scrubs” 186 metric tons of carbon dioxide from our air annually. From a 65 & ‘/2acre forest, this equates to over 12,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide cleaned from our air each year. This is equivalent to the annual greenhouse gas emissions produced by:*
2,564 passenger vehicles, - or —
29 million miles driven by an average passenger vehicle, - or —
624 garbage trucks full of waste recycled instead of land?lled, - or — the amount of annual carbon dioxide emissions from 1,111 homes
‘ Source: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
These are the bene?ts that this 65 & ‘/2acre forest within Valemount limits provide provided to Valemount residents.
Page 16 of 96 To say then, that a property owner can do whatever they like with tree removal on their property without community discussion, is to dismiss out of hand all of the aesthetic, cultural, recreational, and environmental concerns I have outlined on the previous page.
I am aware that the Village, in the absence of a tree protection bylaw, had little option but to allow this project to proceed. However, at very least, I believe that there should have been community discussion and notification from the both the property owners and the Village of Valemount on a project of this magnitude, particularly with the dangers associated with this work, and with the environmental impacts the removing of such a large forest from our community willhave on its residents.
To provide the Village with legislation so that it has some control over these matters in the future, I would like to formally request that the Village of Valemount draft and adopt a Tree Protection Bylaw, so that in the future, the interests of Valemount residents and the environment are protected. This does not mean that I, or other concerned citizens are “anti-development". It simply means that we are concerned that projects such as this proceed with a well-considered plan for the future of Valemount and all of its residents. We are all stewards of the environment in which we live. We must have the power to act to protect our futures.
For reference, I have located a PDF document entitled, “Stewardship Bylaws: A Guide for Local Governments”, produced by the Government of Canada and the Province of BC. This document outlines Tree Protection Bylaws, among other stewardship bylaws. I shall fonivard the PDF to the Corporate Officer and Planner for your review.
Thank you for your time. I look fonivard to seeing this important matter on an upcoming Council agenda.
Sincerely, ?“L,j]I).I%W

Re: Lot 1, Block 7, Plan 9689
I am writing to express my concern and disapproval of the January 12, 2017 Utility Billing. I understand and agree to a small percent increase but the increase this year is rather a leap. Contrary to the “Important Messages” correction posted January 17, 2017 on the Village website, my increase is 10.669172%, not 9.5% as stated approved by council.
That Council approved a lesser percentage charge for vacant lot owners I strongly disapprove of and strongly feel is unfair to the citizens of Valemount. I am told that there are 154 vacant lots billed for utilities of which 103 are out-of-town owners. Why is Council catering to out-of-town owners when they are contributing minimal or nothing to the Village? How many of these vacant lots are owned by developers? What do they contribute? As for vacant lots owned by locals, how many are grassed, seeded or gardened? Obviously they are using, if nothing, else the water service.
There are other concerns that I find unfair with the Village billing system as it now stands. I am a single person homeowner. My usage and drain on the services is much less than a family or, owners that cater to tourist accommodation. Then there are some properties that are much bigger than a standard lot. If nothing else the water services would be more than my usage and drain.
I understand Council is contemplating the meter system. The cost of the system weighed against profit will not eliminate the unfairness of the system as it now
Page 18 of 96 stands. An overhaul to the billing implementation needs to be addressed and would be a start.
Having worked for close to 30 years for a municipality I find it unbelievable that BC municipalities, as stated in the “Utility Rate Discussions” posted on the Village website, did not prioritize infrastructure. It is a very necessary and prudent accounting practice if only for the very reason Council is facing now...no money!!
The same presentation also said and I quote: “residential class as a whole is paying more than cost of service and commercial class as a whole is paying less than cost of service”. What is the reasoning for this? Why is residential expected to carry the cost?
If the billing structure and increase trend continues I will not be able to afford to live here. My pension cost of living increase in no way compares to the increases Council proposes.
Another concern I have is regarding how home businesses and tourist accommodations are taxed. Having lived here for close to 7 years now I have noticed that there are businesses run within homes, houses rented out as tourist accommodation while some homeowners cater to tourists within their home. I assume all these home run businesses and tourist accommodations have business licences. Does Council request the BC Assessors to assess the dwellings as commercial or the portion thereof deemed to be commercial as commercial? It would add to revenues and be fairer and less a burden for the rest of the homeowners of this Village.
In the January 14, 2017 Goat issue under “2016 – Year In Review” it was reported that Council decided mayor and staff’s travel claims would no longer be public. I assume Councillors are included. Again, having worked in finance for a municipality I fail to see the reasoning behind this. Are the expenses not open to the public anyways? In BC does the public not have the right to look over the accounts payable cheque list and query a payment if they wish? Also, Council remuneration is stated in the financial report so why not just report all expenses? Not making them public rises the query what is Council hiding?
On the Village’s website under “Meet the Council” it states that “the Mayor’s role is to represent the best interests of the citizens of this Village”. As an elected official I trust that this is the true and real role of each member of Council.
Sincerely,
Grace Schmitke

Overdose Prevention Fentanyl is a synthetic opiate narcotic, a prescription drug used primarily for cancer patients in severe pain. Fentanyl is extremely toxic and is roughly 50 to 100 times more toxic than morphine. Fentanyl is a contaminant you can’t see, smell or taste. It can be found in pills sold as fake oxys and other club drugs. Although fentanyl is sometimes used in the management of complex pain, it must be prescribed by a physician and the dose should be carefully monitored. Naloxone saves lives from overdose.

January 23, 2017
Honourable Mike Bernier Minister of Education PO Box 9045 Stn. Prov. Govt. Victoria, BC V8W9E2
To the Honourable Mike Bernier,
Application for Trustee Variation on the School District 57 Board
The District of Mackenzie is writing to request a variation in the order of which School District 57 Trustees are to be elected under subsection 3, section 30 of the School Act. We are requesting a ward system in which one trustee is elected in the Mackenzie area, one trustee elected in the Robson Valley (McBride, Dunster and Valemount) and the remaining five Trustees be elected in Prince George.
In 2014, at an all-Candidates debate in Mackenzie, School District Trustee Candidates showed support for regional representation in School District 57. On July 22, 2015 the District of Mackenzie sent a letter to the School District 57 board requesting reconfirmation of their support of establishing a mechanism for the election of School Trustees from rural municipalities.
School District No. 57 has 31 elementary schools, eight secondary schools and one Centre for Learning Alternatives. These schools are located in Mackenzie, McBride, Valemount, Giscome, Nukko Lake, Buckhorn, Hixon, Dunster and Prince George. Enrollment fi gures from 2013 to 2014 for School District No.57 show there are more than 1000 students attending schools outside the municipal boundary of the City of Prince George. In Mackenzie, there are 571 students, in Valemount there are 192 students as well as 192 students in McBride. In electoral areas, there are a further 167 students enrolled in elementary schools in Nukko Lake, Buckhorn, Giscome and Hixon.
There are 60 school districts in the province of BC. A recent search suggests that of the 60 school districts, 28 have provisions for geographic representation on their Board of Trustees. Many ofthe 28 school districts cover large land masses and/or populations spread over a large area. Of the 60 school districts in BC, 32 do not have regional representation, and 14 of these school districts without regional representation are located within a single community.
If Mackenzie had regional representation on the School District 57 Board of Trustees, it would allow for concerns regarding the school systems in our remote location to be better addressed. The District of Mackenzie, the Robson Valley and the City of Prince George are all very different communities.

Differing economic conditions, demographics, population sizes and locations mean that the schools in these areas all face unique challenges. The variation of School Board Trustees for School District 57 to allow for a Trustee to represent Mackenzie and the Robson Valley would allow these unique challenges to be better addressed.
The Regional District of Fraser-Fort George, the Village ofValemount and the Village of McBride have shown strong support for this request. The District of Mackenzie hosted an open house on June 22"d 2016 requesting public opinion on the application for representation on the School District 57 Board of Trustees. The Di strict of Mackenzie surveyed our community and received 404 signatures on the attached petition. The District also presented to the School District Board of Trustees on several occasions and received overwhelming media and community supp01t in Mackenzie, the Robson Valley and Prince George.
Sincerely,
Pat Crook Mayor of Mackenzie

Dear Mayor Jeannette Townsend,
We are writing to encourage your local government to access ?nancial assistance from the B.C. Government Francophone Affairs Program (FAP), to support the delivery of French programs and services in your jurisdiction.
There are 70,000 Francophones and 300,000 Francophiles across British Columbia. One of the mandates of FAP is to deliver the Canada-British Columbia of?cial Languages Agreement on French-Language Services. By partnering with FAP, local governments can access funding through the Of?cial Languages Agreement for projects either with a French component or entirely in French.
Eligible projects must support service development, planning and delivery in one or more of the ?ve priority areas identi?ed in the Agreement: Health and Social Services, Economic Development, Arts and Culture, Justice and Communications. The B.C. Government has already successfully partnered with many local governments on multiple projects, such as:
City of Nelson — Regional Visitor Gateway / Bilingual Signage
City of Prince George — 2015 Canada Games / Civic Plaza Enhancement Project
Township of Esquimalt — Centennial Walkway / Historical Pavers Bricks
City of Vancouver — Public Library / Purchase of French Material
District of To?no — Recreation Program / Early Childhood French Activities
City of Coquitlam — Arts and Culture / Art in Public Places
We invite you to share this funding opportunity with your senior staff and to invite them to contact Chantal Brodeur, the Manager of the Program, to discuss ideas, program guidelines and explore partnerships. Chantal Brodeur can be reached at (250) 387-2028 or chantalbrodeur ov.bc.ca. You can also access more information about the Program and .1 the funding guidelines by consulting the FAP website at: (l ,,\, f I Hz www.gov.bc.ca/francophoneaffairs. /J51’ Page 26 of 96 .../2
Many SLlCC6SSfUlprojects start with a conversation and grow to bene?t the entire community. We look forward to seeing more partnerships between FAP and local governments to increase access to French servicesto British Columbians.
Sincerely,
Norm Letnick Peter Fassbender Minister of Agriculture, Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development Responsible for Francophone Affairs Program

Dear Mayor Townsend:
I attended the regular council meeting on January 24, 2017 and wanted to take the time to thank you and your council, and the Village staff, for their hard work and dedication to economic development in your community.
I was excited to see so many items related to economic development on your council agenda, and rewarding to observe the Village actively involved and supporting economic and community development in so many ways.
You have three committees of council (economic development, geothermal, and housing) doing very important work, and it was terri?c to witness the Village’s support for the proposed craft beer and music festival this summer. Festivals are an important tool in the economic development toolbox and I am looking forward to working with the Village and the proponents to make the most of this new opportunity.

From: Valemount Secondary School Senior Girls Basketball Team
Re: Community Grant in Aid Team Travel to Senior Girls Provincial Basketball Championship Tournament
Currently the Valemount Senior Girls BasketbaU Team is ranked #2 in their zone and are ranked # 10 in the province.
The Senior Girls Basketball Team is anticipating (hoping) that they will secure one of 3 provincial berths available to our North Central Zone and will be one of16 teams in BC to compete at the Single 'A' Girls Basketball Provincial Championship Tournament • March 8-11 • in Duncan BC (2000 km round trip) • Leaving V alemount March 6 and returning March 12 • 12 athletes plus 2 coaches plus 2 drivers
QualifiCation for a Provincial Berth will be determined at the Zone Championship Tournament which will be hosted in Prince George by Cedars Christi3n School on February 22- 25, 2017
Conditional upon successfully securing one of three provincial berths, the Valemount Senior Girls Basketball Team is asking the Village ofValemount to consider providing assistance for the tournament expense via a Community Grant in Aid
Projected Expenses for the provincial Tournament are as follows: Gas $ 700.00 Motel (5 rooms X 6 nights) $3600.00 Entry Fee $ 500.00 Banquet $ 320.00 Team Food and Mise $1200.00 Ferry X 2 trips $ 720.00 Toto/. projected expense $7040.00
This season the Senior Girls Basketball Team has traveled in excess of 5000 km in order to compete in major tournament competitions. All expenses for traveling have been paid for through on-going fundraising and athlete participation fees. The team has also hosted 4 major tournaments in Valemount.
The Senior Girls Basketball Team is continuing to fundraise in anticipation of qualifying for a trip to the Provincial Championship Tournament
As always, the Village of V alemount can b assured that the Senior Girls Basketball Team represents their school and their community proudly as they travel to competitions

Memo to: Mayor and Council
From: Gord Simmons, Interim CAO
Subject: Valemount Airport
Background: With the imminent approval and construction of the Valemount Glacier Destination Resort, the importance of the Valemount Airport is growing.
Presently the airport is a paved runway, 23 meters wide an d 1200 meters long. The runway strip is partially fenced. There is a small terminal building, runway lighting, and a small fuel facility.
The airport is currently classed as a Code 2B non-instrument runway (non-instrument means aircraft must break out of the cloud at least 500 feet above the airport before final approach). The current length ofthe runway would permit Citations, Beech craft 1900's and Twin Otters to land.
Based on the two studies the Village commissioned in 1990 and 2006, the direction is to work toward a classification of a Code 3C non-precision instrument runway (non-precision instrument means aircraft must break out of the cloud at least 250 feet above the airport before final approach).
This would involve relocating the existing fence on the north/south/west sides of the runway, clearing and grubbing additional land to the north and south of the existing runway, clearing trees in the approach area, and ultimately widening and lengthening the runway to 1800 meters by 30 meters.
Comment: Both the Public Works Committee and the Economic Development Committee have been discussing the Airport. The Public Works Committee has been considering the practical aspects of an airport upgrade, while the Economic Development Committee has been considering the operations side.
Airport expansion and improvements can take considerable time and money. By adopting a long term plan, Council can set the stage for budgeting and grant applications.
Page 43 of 96 Attached as an Appendix to this report is a suggested Valemount Airport Development Plan. This Plan should be reviewed by the committees and Regional District staff, and is presented here for Council' s information, prior to review.
Based on an approved plan, staff can research grant availability and provide budgets to Council for approval. Depending on availability of funds, more than one project could be ongoing at the same time.
It is noted that the attached Development Plan only gets the airside of the Airport to a Code 3C level. The Plan does not address increased passenger facilities, helicopter use, and commercial interests.
Options/Recommendation:
1. THAT Recommendation 8.7 from the Tuesday January 24, 2017 Regular Council meeting be lifted from the table.
2. THAT the following Recommendation from the January 24, 2017 meeting be DEFEATED
"THAT council considers giving approval for the following: 1. Hiring a volunteer for part time airport coordinator. 2. Securing funds for a safety assessment study (safety audit)"
3. THAT Council refer the draft Valemount Airport Development Plan to the Public Works Committee, the Economic Development Committee, and the Regional District of Fraser-Fort George for comment.

Valemount Airport Development Plan
2017
Page 45 of 96 Appendix 'A'
Valemount Airport Development Plan 2017
This Plan is divided into two parts, one being the physical, on-the-ground issues, and the other, more the operation of the Airport.
The Valemount Airport is located outside the boundaries of the Municipality of Valemount within the Regional District of Fraser-Fort George. The Corporation ofthe Village of Valemount owns and manages the current airport.
The intent of this Plan is to upgrade the Airport from a Code 2B Non-instrument runway to a Code 3C Non-precision instrument runway, based on the interest shown by local pilots and the expected increase in use from the Valemount Glacier Destination Resort.
A. PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE On the Physical infrastructure side of the upgrade, the following projects are identified, and have been separated so the hope is that the Village will be able to pay their share of a grant funded project.
1. Do an engineering level survey of the existing facility.
2. Apply to the Ministry responsible for Crown Lands for some minimal expansion room to the north and south of the current runway, particularly for the expansion ofthe runway strip area. (This may also involve an application for non-farm use through the Regional District to the Agricultural Land Commission)
3. Relocate the existing fencing on the west side of and on the north and south ends of the runway to meet the requirements of Code 3C for a runway strip (A runway strip is the total area within the fence in this case.)
4. Clear and grub the runway strip
5. Clear trees from north and south of the existing thresholds plus 300 meters (this would take into account the future runway extensions) that would intersect with a line rising at 2.5% from the future end of the runway.
6. Open a new access road from the present cul-de-sac east of the terminal building to the hangar area, install a gate, and construct a driveway along the fence behind the hangar sites.
7. Extend the runway by 300 meters at each end and widen the existing runway from 23 meters to 30 meters.
Page 46 of 96 8. Add needed runway and taxiway lighting.
9. Construct new and parallel taxiway (long-term)
B. OPERATIONS On the operational side of the airport the following projects and issues may be considered.
1. Create an Airport Operations Manual. This is a federal requirement leading to airport certification for commercial use. A good example is the AOM for the Anahim Lake Airport within the Cariboo Regional District.
2. Commission an acceptable firm to do a safety audit of the existing airport. This would identify any issues which should be dealt with immediately, in the short term, or with an expanded operation in the long-term.
3. Designate an Airport Commission or some such specific Airport governing body. This group would not necessarily have any elected Councillors as members, but would be responsible to the Village as owners of the Airport.
4. The Commission could employ a paid or volunteer Airport Manager/ Care taker to oversee day to day operation of the airport in conjunction with the Village Public Works Department.
5. Develop an appropriate hangar location and lease policy to clarify for owners and prospective owners where they stand on hangar usage.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
Agenda Date: February 14, 2017 Date: January 26, 2017 Memo to: Mayor and Council From: Gord Simmons, Interim CAO Request from Economic Development Committee to consider a Subject: Downtown Parking Plan
Background: Council, At their regular meeting on January 24, 2017, tabled a recommendation from the Economic Development Committee (EDC) respecting downtown parking. Further information is required before Council can determine direction in this matter.
Comment: Parking is always a controversial topic. Is there enough parking? Is it in the right place? Within a commercial area do the business employees park in the choice spots? Is there enough handicapped parking and in the right place? In their request to Council, the EDC Committee did not elaborate on their reasons for asking Council to consider a downtown parking plan.
The Official Community Plan establishes a number of policies for parking, and the current zoning bylaw has a number of requirements for on-site and off-site parking, and loading zones.
Options/Recommendation:
1. THAT Recommendation 8.6 from Tuesday January 24, 2017 Regular Council meeting be lifted from the table.
2. THAT the following Recommendation from the January 24, 2017 meeting be DEFEATED
“THAT as part of the Official Community Plan Review, the Village considers developing a downtown plan including parking and secures funding for future parking areas.”
3. THAT this matter of downtown parking be returned to the Economic Development Committee for further information and background to the request.

Background: Recent complaints and staff observations have noted the parking lot at the Post Office is quite treacherous this winter. There is a build up of ice leading to pot holes. With the entire Village using this facility, it would seem reasonable to ensure the safety of users.
It is not known if this particular situation is unique to this winter, or whether treacherous conditions exist every winter.
It would be reasonable for Council to send a letter to Canada Post with a copy to the owner of the property asking them to ensure safe parking and passage for their customers.
Page 49 of 96
Options/Recommendation:
THAT Council write a letter to Canada Post with a copy to the owner expressing concern about the safety of users parking and accessing the Valemount Post Office.

Page 53 of 96 In Donna’s own words: “The sharing of stories can bring comfort by relieving a sense of isolation. Elected officials often deal with difficult situations and crises; it’s helpful to know these experiences are shared with many others and can be survived! Or the stories can reassure – things could be a lot worse! Others’ stories can also provide new perspectives and tools, new learnings about how to do the job, and new insights on the need for beneficial systemic changes (e.g., greater civility in our politics).”

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT
Agenda Date: February 14, 2017 Date: January 25, 2017 Memo to: Mayor and Council From: Gord Simmons, Interim CAO Subject: Membership on Public Works Committee
Background: The Public Works Committee at their January 13, 2017 meeting discussed the make-up of their committee.
The Public Works Committee is a standing Committee of Council under Section 141 of the Community Charter. The Charter states that at least half of the members of a standing committee must be council members. At present, two councillors make up the committee.
One staff person attends the meetings in a secretarial role, but is not a member of the committee.
Comment: The Public Works Committee may well be the most important Council committee in the committee inventory. Public Works deals with the physical makeup of the Village – the sewer, water, drainage, roads, curb and gutters, sidewalks, line painting, signage – and a host of other matters which are expected as part of living in a municipality. The importance of this committee and the Public Works Department cannot be understated.
The Committee has formalized its meeting dates which are appropriately advertised. It is further felt that Council should augment the committee with another two members, preferably not councillors, and having some knowledge of topics the Public Works Committee must consider. Individuals with engineering experience or road construction experience may be beneficial. Land developers may have experience that would help the committee, although these individuals may have to excuse themselves from a meeting if one of their projects were being discussed.
Adding to Membership: In order to add two members to this committee, Council may wish to advertise for interested parties to submit their names and experience. If more than two individuals apply, the two with the most relevant experience could be invited to sit on the committee.
Page 59 of 96 Conversely, Council may consider that relevant experience is not necessary for one or both positions. This would open the matter up for a variety of applicants, and some method of evaluation would have to be determined.
It is noted that the committee and members would have to be reappointed in the fall of 2018 following elections.
Options/Recommendation:
1. THAT the Public Works Standing Committee be augmented with the addition of two members from the general public.
2. THAT volunteers be solicited through public advertisement and the two applicants with the most relevant experience be invited to sit on the Public Works Standing Committee for an approximately 2 year term.

EDO Report
Agenda Date: February 14, 2017 Memo to: Mayor and Council From: EDO Subject: EDC Committee Recommendation: Electric Vehicle Charging Station
Purpose/Issue: To give permission to EDC committee to apply for a CBT Community Initiatives Grant for building an electric vehicle charging station on 4th Avenue.
Background: At their meeting of January 12, 2017, the EDC committee members carried a motion to consider building a supporting structure for an Electric Vehicle Charging Wall Connector with a 24’ cable. The Electric Vehicle Charging Wall Connector with a 24’ cable will be donated by a Kamloops Electric Vehicle users’ club. EDC committee members also indentified an ideal location for the charging station—on the south side of 4th Avenue between the Cemetery and Centennial Park (see attachments). This location is close to a Villages electricity source and close to the downtown area. It takes up to three hours to fully charge the batteries of an electric vehicle and the total cost of a full charge up to $7. Visitors who use this station would be able to walk to the downtown area for shopping, coffee, etc.
Comments: The project will be implemented if funding is secured. The Village issued a RFP for concepts, materials and costs.
Budget: To be determined.
Options/Recommendation: 1. THAT Council gives permission to staff to apply for a CBT CIP grant and other funding options. 2. THAT Council approves the location for an Electric Vehicle Charging station which is proposed to be on the south side of 4th Avenue between the Cemetery and Centennial Park.

Memo to: Mayor and Council
From: Carleena Shepherd, CSC
Subject: Village of Valemount Coat of Arms
Purpose/Issue: To request that Council considers the process of applying for a grant of armorial bearing for the Village of Valemount.
Background: A coat of arms is a symbol granted by the Canadian Crown. Each coat of arms is a grant of honor from the Crown, given in recognition of the importance of a community or institution to Canada.
All Canadian citizens or corporate bodies may petition to receive a grant of armorial bearing. There are three categories of armorial bearings: coats of arms, flags an d badges. A Municipality wishing to be granted armorial bearings must send a letter from Council to the Chief Herald of Canada stating their wish with a resolution "to receive armorial bearings from the Canadian Crown under the powers exercised by the Governor General." The resolution must accompany background information of the municipality. Once a grant of armorial bearings is authorized, the herald begins work with the municipality on the coat of arms design. The complete process of design, letters patent and registration takes an average of 12-14 months. Detailed information regarding the process is attached to this report.
Budget, Policy, Staffing: The minimum cost of a grant of a coat of arms is approximately $2400.00. The need for additional preliminary artwork or the inclusion of a flag, badge, or decorative elements will result in additional costs.
Staff time will be required to submit required documents to the proper authorities and update Cou neil on the progress of the project via staff reports. Council may, if it wishes, appoint a committee to oversee the project and provide input to the heralds.
Strategic Alignment: None.
Page 64 of 96 Options/Recommendation:
Recommendation #1 THAT Council receives the report for information purposes.
Recommendation #2 THAT Council directs staff to begin the process of applying for a grant of armorial bearing for the Village of Valemount.

Who may apply for a Grant of armorial bearings?
All Canadian citizens or corporate bodies (municipalities, societies, associations, institutions, etc.) may petition to receive a grant of armorial bearings.
What are the different types of armorial bearings?
Three categories of armorial bearings can be requested: coats of arms, ?ags and badges. A coat of arms is centred on a shield and may be displayed with a helmet, mantling, a crest and a motto (see Annex 1). A grant of supporters is limited to corporate bodies and to some individuals in specific categories.
What is the meaning of a Grant of Arms?
Grants of armorial bearings are honours from the Canadian Crown. They provide recognition for Canadian individuals and corporate bodies and the contributions they make both in Canada and elsewhere.
How does one apply for Arms?
Canadian citizens or corporate bodies desiring to be granted armorial bearings by lawful authority must send to the Chief Herald of Canada a letter stating the wish ”ta receive armorial bearingsfrom the Canadian Crown under the powers exercised by the Governor General. " Grants of armorial bearings, as an honour, recognize the contribution made to the community by the petitioner (either individual or corporate). The background information is therefore an important tool for the Chief Herald of Canada to assess the eligibility of the request.
What background information should individuals forward?
Individuals should forward: (1) proof of Canadian citizenship; (2) a current biographical sketch that includes educational and employment background, as well as details of voluntary and community service. They will also be asked to complete a personal information form protected under the Privacy Act, and may be asked for names of persons to be contacted as confidential references.
What background information should corporate bodies forward?
Corporate bodies should forward: (1) a brief history and the details of their incorporation in Canada; (2) a current annual report and ?nancial statement; (3) a copy of the resolution from their governing body requesting the grant.
What are the steps in the grant procedure? Page 66 of 96 On the recommendation of the Chief Herald of Canada, the Herald Chancellor (the Secretary to the Governor General) or the Deputy Herald Chancellor (the Deputy Secretary, Chancellery) signs a warrant authorizing a grant of armorial bearings to be made. An invoice for processing fees is then sent to the petitioner. Once the processing fees have been paid, the herald, a specialist in the ?eld of symbolism, begins work with the petitioner to determine the elements of a possible design, which must follow the rules of heraldry. Occasionally, the Chief Herald of Canada assigns one of the Authority's heraldic consultants to work on the ?rst stage of the grant process, following the same procedures mentioned above. After the written description of the armorial bearings has been approved by the Chief Herald of Canada, it is sent to the petitioner for acceptance.
After the written description has been approved, a contract is signed between the petitioner and one of the Authority's artists, who then prepares preliminary artwork. This illustrates the symbols, proportions and colours of the armorial bearings. This preliminary design is reviewed by Fraser Herald, the Authority's principal artist, approved by the Chief Herald of Canada, and sent to the petitioner for approval. The third stage involves the preparation of the grant document. The petitioner decides what format of letters patent will be produced. The letters patent are bilingual and the petitioner indicates which official language (English or French) is to be displayed on the left side. There are separate contracts for the ?nal artwork and for the calligraphy of the document.
Called letters patent, this official document includes the ?nal artistic illustration of the armorial bearings accompanied by a legal text. It is signed by the appropriate of?cials, and the seal of the Canadian Heraldic Authority is applied to it. The grant is entered in the Public Register of Arms, Flags and Badges of Canada, and the official notice of the grant is published in Part I of the Canada Gazette under the title ‘Government House.’ It is also possible to have the design published in the Trade Marks Journal through the Authority's of?ce procedures, upon payment of the fee required by the Registrar of Trade-marks.
How long does it take?
The average time required to complete a grant is 12 to 14 months after the warrant has been signed. The process can last longer if there are protracted discussions or if the volume of petitions received exceeds available staff resources. It is important to remember that grants of armorial bearings are made by the Crown to be valid forever. As a result, a sufficient amount of time is required to complete each grant.
How much does it cost?
The Government of Canada requires that the petitioner cover all direct costs related to the grant of armorial bearings. These costs are in two parts: (a) a ?xed processing fee; (b) variable costs of artwork, research and letters patent preparation.
(a) The processing fee for all petitioners is ?xed at $435 (plus HST) by Ministerial Order. An invoice for this fee is sent at the time the warrant authorizing the grant is signed. Please note that cheques forwardedbeforethe invoice is sent will be returned. In most cases, the processing fee is suf?cient to cover the cost of the research required for the grant. In cases requiring additional research, the petitioner will receive an estimate and will pay a supplementaryfee to the researcher.
(b) The cost of one preliminary design ranges from $325 to $1,200 depending on the complexity of the design and the number of components. The cost increases if the petitioner wishes to make changes that require the creation of revised artwork. The cost of the letters patent depends on the option chosen by the petitioner, the complexity of the design, the number of components in the grant, and the inclusion of additional decoration. Two options are available for the letters patent.
In summary, the minimum cost of a grant of a coat of arms (shield, crest, helmet, mantling, and motto) is likely to be around $2,400, including the processing fee, one preliminary design and the letters patent (OPTION II). The choice of OPTION 1,the need for additional preliminary artwork, or the inclusion of a ?ag, badge, shields Page 67 of 96 for children, or decorative elements will result in additional costs. All artwork costs are paid by the petitioner directly to the Authority's artist assigned to the ?le. The maximum cost of the artwork is establishedbefore each stage of the process, and the petitioner indicates agreement by signing contracts. Artwork is forwarded to the petitioner by the Authority, together with the artist's invoice, payable within 30 days of receipt. What are Option I and Option II documents?
Option I — one sheet (see Annex 2for some examples)
dimensions: approximately 56 cm (22“) high and 76 cm (30") wide; heading: hand painted; granting text: inscribed in calligraphy; coat of arms, flag and badge hand painted, with 24k gold where applicable; costs: approximately $2,225 to $3,500 for art and calligraphy.
Option II - two sheets (see Annex 3for some examples)
dimensions: each sheet is 56 cm (22“) high and 38 cm (l5") wide; heading: printed in colour; sheet 1: text produced by computer; sheet 2: coat of arms, ?ag, and badge hand painted, with 24k gold where applicable, with identifying text in calligraphy; - costs for the two sheets: approximately $875 to $2,000 for art and calligraphy.
Are there any other considerations to note?
The proposed armorial bearings must satisfy both the petitioner and the Chief Herald of Canada, who is responsible for following acceptable heraldic practice and for maintaining high aesthetic standards. To do this, the heralds aim to create meaningful and powerful designs using a limited number of symbols and colours, often in dramatic contrast. By determining what elements are most essential for inclusion and by taking advantage of the Authority's expertise, a petitioner can ensure the creation of a beautiful and lasting design.
The Sovereign of Canada, on the recommendation of the Governor General, must personally approve each use of the Royal Crown in Canadian armorial bearings.

Arms of the Canadian Heraldic Authority
The shield features the maple leaf of Canada charged with a smaller shield, which indicates the heraldic responsibilities of the Authority.
The crest consists of the crowned lion resting its paw on a shield, symbolizing the fact that the Governor General is the Head of the Authority and that heraldic emblems are honours ?owing from the Canadian Crown.
The supporters are special heraldic beasts, half raven and half polar bear. Many First Nations in Canada regard the raven as a creator or transformer, while the polar bear is known for its strength and endurance. These supporters represent the responsibility of Canada's heralds to create symbols for a wide range of Canadian institutions and individuals. The supporters rest on an outcrop of the Canadian Shield, representing the solid foundations on which the Authority has been established.
The Latin motto can be translated as: Let those who honour their country be honoured.
