The preparation of this Master Plan has relied heavily on the input and participation of many individuals and organizations, residing in the City and in the surrounding Cariboo Regional District. Additionally, the background studies – particularly the concurrent work on the City’s Offi cial Community Plan – Creating Our Future – offered important factual data that were of signifi cant help in forming a number of conclusions that are discussed in the Master Plan. The assessment of the City and the Region’s park, trail and outdoor recreation inventory determined that the community has an outstanding recreation base in both its natural and built environments. A challenge to this resource base was how to enhance its availability and usage for both residents and visitors to the community. To that end, this report concentrates on the opportunities offered by partnerships, the development of core connections within the community including connections to: the main activity centres, the river valley, the western sectors of the City, to safe highway crossings and to the waterfront. It also notes the opportunities to develop the bike trails system, improve conservation management and provide for specifi c needs identifi ed by the community e.g. off leash dog parks, a cemetery site, etc. In addition to explicit site recommendations, this report also proposes development guidelines for the park, trail and outdoor recreation system including: the Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) standards, as well as wayfi nding, signage and design standards for the trails and parks. A guideline and hierarchical classifi cation system for both existing and future parks also forms an important part of this Plan. A signifi cant component of the Master plan is the Vision and Guiding Principles that were developed via the public consultation exercise. These have formed the backbone for the recommendations of the Plan. The Guiding Principles that were relevant in framing the specifi c recommendations are identifi ed in the fi nal chapter – Section 8, Priorities and Strategies. In setting these priorities, and subsequent strategies for adapting the recommendations, the infl uence of the community – the stakeholders, the municipal staff and the public at large – showed thoughtfulness, ingenuity, and a true appreciation for the parks trails and open spaces of their community. INTRODUCTION SECTION ONE 1.1 PURPOSE OF THE PLAN Imagine Our Parks 2020 is the Parks, Trails, Outdoor Recreation Master Plan. The purpose of this Plan is to provide overall direction and guidance for managing parks, public use of facilities and infrastructure (parks, trails, outdoor recreation) and investment in the community. Imagine Our Parks 2020 is intended to have a 10 year horizon. Its direction has been gained through public consultation and the input of many stakeholders. The Plan is also infl uenced by other key City planning documents such as the concurrent Integrated Community Sustainability Planning framework and the Offi cial Community Plan. The Master Plan includes an inventory and an assessment of the City’s outdoor recreation opportunities and recommends a best practice model for the delivery of these assets and outdoor recreation opportunities to the residents of Williams Lake. This best practice model includes a vision for the development of a future parks, trails and outdoor recreation system, and recommendations for the improvement of the existing parks, trails and open spaces, as well as the role of all public lands within the City’s boundary and immediate area. In addition to reviewing the recreational components of the City, the Plan examines the role of the existing outdoor recreation facilities, parks and trails in the immediate sub-regional area, the potential integration of those subregional assets and their effect on the needs of the William’s Lake community. The Plan also offers a fi nancial strategy that refl ects long term capital expenditure considerations, the acquisition and disposal of lands, a phased operational strategy and the fi nancial impacts of all Master Plan recommendations. 1 1.2 PLANNING PROCESS OVERVIEW The Parks, Trails, and Outdoor Recreation Master Plan (Imagine our Parks 2020) process is based on a strategic approach to engage Williams Lake residents and relevant stakeholders. The approach also includes working closely with the Williams Lake Project Steering Committee (Project Team) and City staff. Its primary intention is to collaboratively prepare a Master Plan that represents the values and ideals of the community and to refl ect the community’s ownership of the work that will take place over the next ten year period. Imagine Our Parks 2020 is separate yet complementary to the community engagement process of the Williams Lake: Imagine Our Future initiative. This process involved extensive consultation with hundreds of community members, and identifi ed a vision and goal statements for ten strategic priority areas to move the City toward a sustainable future. The Vision and Guiding Principles for this Master Plan are compatible with these strategies. The Master Plan is intended to be a living planning document allowing adjustments to be made to it to refl ect specifi c needs and responses required. As an example, the Plan may be updated, to meet the most current trends in recreation and active transportation. Performance of the plan will also need to be reviewed in light of proven benefi ts of recommendations implemented and how they best fi t with operational strategies. In fi ve years, the plan should be reviewed to capture changes to local demographics and to evolve with the growing benefi ts of sustainable networks locally, regionally and inter-regionally. The steps in the preparation of this Master Plan are set out more fully below and depicted in Figure 1.0 – Project Process. Phase 1, or the Foundation Phase focuses on compiling background information, carrying out fi eld investigations, base mapping, interviews and generally developing an understanding of the Williams Lake community. In addition to reviewing the City’s relevant studies and reports, as well as those of the Cariboo Regional District, the Phase also takes note of ongoing work being carried out on the municipality’s Offi ce Community Plan (OCP) and Integrated Community Sustainability Plan (ICSP). This latter study has particular relevance to the Master Recreation Plan, in that is acts as the overriding directive for the growth of the municipality. The Master Plan forms one of the components of the ICPS document. Figure 1.1 – Plan Relationships: Williams Lake illustrates this relationship. Phase 2: Analyzing the data demographics, existing recreational inventory, etc. and subsequently developing a Preliminary Master Plan are the principal goals of Phase 2. A model for best practices, and draft fi nancial and operational strategies are other important elements of this phase. This segment of the planning process also begins

    Agricultural Land Use Planning in Northern British Columbia Case Study of Cariboo Regional District FINAL REPORT Dr. David J. Connell Associate Professor School of Environmental Planning University of Northern British Columbia Phone: (250) 960-5835 Email: [email protected] Katie Eistetter MA Student Natural Resource and Environmental Studies University of Northern British Columbia May, 2015 Agricultural Land Use Planning in Northern BC FINAL REPORT: CARIBOO REGIONAL DISTRICT Executive Summary In this report we present the results of a study of agricultural land use planning for the Cariboo Regional District (CRD), a large geographic area located in the central interior of British Columbia. The CRD includes the three urban areas the City of Quesnel, City of Williams Lake, and 100 Mile House, many small towns, and reserve lands of several First Nations. The rural areas and the economy are based on forestry and agriculture. Agriculture is primarily ranching and forage with some opportunities for other forms of food production. To assess the region as a whole, we examined the breadth and quality of four local legislative frameworks that govern agricultural land use planning, including policies, legislation, and governance. To gain further insights, we examined the local legislative framework of 150 Mile House Area as a case study site. For the case study, we assessed the strength of the local framework for agricultural land use planning using four principles as criteria: maximise stability, integrate public priorities across jurisdictions, minimise uncertainty, and accommodate flexibility. The case study also involved an assessment of the political context within which agricultural land use planning takes place and decisions are made.

I am so glad to see that he has given you, for publication, an account of his long and varied experiences in British Columbia, experiences which have been of great value to the province." In these generous terms of apprecia- tion of Mr. Walter Moberly's services to this province, the Hon. Edgar Dewdney wrote me two months ago, at the time that the veteran explorer's reminiscences were appearing Sunday by Sunday. Mr. Dewdney, who has himself rendered great services, not only to this province, but to the Dominion at large, as trail-maker, explorer and administrator, knew Mr. Moberly intimately as a comrade in the early, strenuous days of which this story treats. Appreciation from such a source is, therefore, of much value.

The Stein Valley Nlaka’pamux Heritage Park, located in south-central Interior British Columbia, is one such example. An unlogged, undammed watershed, the Stein Valley became the site and subject of protests over proposed logging between the 1970s and 1990s. It lies within the territories of the Nlaka’pamux Nation and, since its park designation in 1995, has been jointly managed by the Lytton First Nation and the Provincial Government through a Cooperative Management Agreement.
