MEMORANDUM TO: Chief Administrative Officer September 28, 2007 FROM: Director of Development Services SUBJECT: Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 2189 Rezoning Application No. RZ-O-69 Agricultural Land Commission Application No. ALR-0-44 LS 5, Section 29, Township 24, Range 13, W6M, KDYD except Plans 35129,37595 and KAP62223 Sinmax Creek Road, Squaam Bay, east of Barriere, BC (Anderson) INTRODUCTION: The applicants are proposing a lot line adjustment within the Agricultvral Land Reserve (ALR) that would consolidate Part of LS 5 with Part of the NE Y. of LS 4, all of Section 29, Township 24, Range 13, W6M, KDYD and to rezone the same from the RL-1 (Rural) to LR-1 (Lakeshore Residential Single Family) Zone. BACKGROUND: • Location Sinmax Creek Road, Sqvaam Bay East of Barriere, BC • Present zoning I use RL-1 (Rural) / forested area with driveway and septic disposal field • Proposed zoning I use LR-1 (Lakeshore Residential Single Family) / to consolidate 2.25 ha of the rezoned area with the NE Y. of LS 4 (4,000 square metre minimum parcel size) • Parcel area 2.25 ha • Planning study I designation Lakeshore Development Guidelines - General Use and Special Case Lake due to Native Cultural Sites • Application date February 7, 2007 Page 29 of 178 Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 2189 (1st Reading) Rezoning Appl... September 28, 2007 Page 2 Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 2189 (RZ-O-69I ALR-0-44) DISCUSSION: The subject property is currently zoned RL-1; however, the applicant's intention is to amend the zoning on a portion of LS 5 as shown on the accompanying application mapping to the LR-1 Zone and to subsequently consolidate it with the adjacent parcel to permit future subdivision in accordance with the LR-1 zone. Agricultural Land Commission Application No. ALR-0-44 was made pursuant to Section 21 (2) of the Agricultural Land Commission Act for subdivision in the ALR. The Agricultural Land Commission has approved the application for subdivision triggered by this rezoning application under Resolution No. 420/2007. Adams Lake is classified as General Use and Special Case (Native Cultural Sites) in the Lakeshore Development Guidelines in recognition of its potential to accommodate additional development of this scale. Three First Nation bands have been consulted; however, the bands have exercised their right to refuse comment until the applicant has paid the applicable band referral evaluation fees which range from $300 to $1,300 depending on the band involved. Application referrals were also sent to the provincial Ministry of Transportation (MOT) and federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO). While MOT has indicated it has no objection to the proposed zoning amendment opting instead to focus its attention on the subsequent subdivision application process, DFO has advised the applicant of the necessity of undertaking and complying with the Riparian Areas Regulation (RAR). The Ministry of Environment advises that the applicant has filed a RAR Assessment Report. The applicant acknowledges the requirement to adequately address riparian area and wildfire protection. In this regard, the applicant must complete all technical reports and provide satisfactory undertakings following favourable consideration by the Agricultural Land Commission and prior to the Public Hearing. No other technical concerns were raised during the initial application review process. Page 30 of 178 Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 2189 (1st Reading) Rezoning Appl... September 28, 2007 Page 3 Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 2189 (RZ-O-69/ ALR-0-44) Planning Services supports this application to rezone the property, as it will allow for a beneficial adjustment of a lot line between two existing parcels. RECOMMENDATION: That Bylaw No. 2189 be read a first time by title only and be taken to a Public Hearing in conjunction with a regular Board of Directors meeting.

October 3, 2007 Page 2 Cle.arwater Official Community Plan Amendment Bylaw No. 2190 (OP-C-A-45) Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 2191 (RZ-A-96) • Application date March 19, 2007 DISCUSSION: The subject property is a relatively flat parcel of land on Clearwater Valley Road, near the intersection with the Yellowhead Highway, in Clearwater, BC. The applicants are seeking: • A zoning amendment from the CR-1 (Country Residential) to the R-3 (Residential Multi-Family) Zone; • A textual amendment to the R-3 Zone to add 'parks and playgrounds' as a permitted use; and • Permit a site specific amendment to the R-3 Zone to allow for the creation of strata lots. The applicant has also offered to register a covenant on the property restricting the number of dwelling units to 32 (16 two-family strata dwellings). This application will also require an amendment to the Clearwater Official Community Plan (OCP). The OCP designates the subject property as Rural Residential, which allows residential parcel sizes between 0.8 to 2.0 hectares. The applicant wishes to amend the OCP designation to Urban Residential, to permit densities of five units per hectare or greater subject to servicing with community water and community sewer The Clearwater OCP states that in order to provide a greater density of housing choice, the development of a broad range of housing types within the urban core will be encouraged. This development proposal will broaden the range of housing types available in the community of Clearwater. The Local Government Act requires the Board of Directors to consider early and on- going public consultation regarding the proposed OCP amendment. On July 13, 2007, Planning Services mailed notice of this proposed OCP amendment to property owners Page 38 of 178 Clearwater Official Community Plan Amendment Bylaw No. 2190 ...

The Regional District has not received any responses to this notice nor to the Notice of Development sign posted on the subject property. Building Inspection Services has stated that its interests are unaffected by the amendment applications and the Advisory Planning Commission has recommended approval of the proposed amendments. The Clearwater Improvement District (CID) has stated that the applicants must connect to the community water system and the community sewer system and pay applicable capital expenditure charges at the time of subdivision, in accordance with CID servicing bylaws. The Interior Health Authority (IHA) has stated that their interests are unaffected, as the development will be connected to community water and community sewer services. The Ministry of Transportation (MOT) has advised that while it has no objection to the proposed rezoning of the subject property, it does have road reserve covenant No. KAP63438 that dissects the proposed development site. MOT advises that this covenant can be modified at the time of subdivision should this property be successfully rezoned. The subject property is located within 1,000 m of Dutch Lake, which is designated a Critical and Special Cases lake in the TNRD Lakeshore Development Guidelines. All proposed development must conform to these guidelines. The proposed development site is impacted by the Clearwater Centre Plan, is located near a major community gateway and principal access to Wells Gray Park, and is adjacent to a proposed linear trail way. The applicant will be encouraged to incorporate suitable beautification and complimentary design characteristics into the site development as conditions of zoning approval. Development Services supports the requested OCP and zoning bylaw amendments, as they will provide a greater range of housing options in the community.

MEMORANDUM TO: Chief Administrative Officer October 3, 2007 FROM: Director of Development Services SUBJECT: Request for Relieffrom Minimum 10% Lot Perimeter Road Frontage Requirement - Subdivision Application No. SD-L-192 Proposed Subdivision of: • Lot 1, Section 10, Township 18, Range 17, W6M, KDYD, Plan KAP54542; • Lot 5, Section 3, Township 18, Range 17, W6M, KDYD, Plan KAP54542; and • The NE '/.i of Section 4, Township 18, Range 17, W6M, KDYD Princeton - Kamloops Highway, 25 km. south of Kamloops, BC Peter Walker / James Keats (Urban Systems, Ltd.) We have received the attached letter from the agent for the property owners, dated August 9, 2007, requesting the Board of Directors' consideration of a request for relief from the minimum 10% lot perimeter road frontage requirement. The applicant is proposing to adjust existing parcel boundaries on each of the three subject properties in order to improve land use, abandon hooked lots across easements and improve road frontage on one new parcel. Although proposed Lots 1 and 3 will maintain adequate parcel perimeter road frontage, proposed Lot 2 which will be accessed by easement will remain with no parcel perimeter road frontage. The Regional Growth Strategy considers large lot residential development where no community servicing is available. The subject properties which will be serviced with individual water sources and sewage disposal fields are zoned AF-1 (Agricultural/ Forestry) and each of the proposed lots meets or exceeds the 8 ha minimum parcel size. The Ministry of Transportation (MOT) granted the applicant Preliminary Layout Approval for the proposed subdivision and has stated that it is prepared to support the access easement to proposed Lot 2.

A cheque in the amount of $100.00 for the variance fee for Proposed Lot 2 has been paid. We are requesting a variance for Proposed Lot 2 for the reason of "no road frontage" as outlined in item 4 of your letter of May 22, 2007. Currently this property does not meet the road frontage requirements, and the re-allocation of lands that we are proposing will not meet the requirements. However, the proposed changes will improve frontage along the existing access. This existing access is in the form of easements and rights-of-ways along the Old Stagecoach Road which has been utilized for access through the area since the 1800's. This roadway fonms part of the historic Brigade Trail. Please keep in mind that we are not creating any new parcels. This application is intended to improve existing conditions by removing isolated parcels of land and amalgamating them with their appropriate neighbouring parcel, which in turn creates improved access for all properties involved. Pleasecontact the undersigned should you require further information. Yours truly, URBAN SYSTEMSLTD.

The subject property is the old Tolko sawmill site in Louis Creek that was destroyed in the McLure Wildfire of 2003. It is zoned 1-3(General Industrial) and is designated as Industrial in the Barriere Official Community Plan. The Ministry of Transportation owns the property and is subdividing it to develop new industrial lots for community recovery/economic development purposes. As shown on the attached map, the applicant is proposing to subdivide the property into thirteen parcels in accordance with direction from the North Thompson Economic Development Society. The applicant intends to build and dedicate road to connect the new section of Agate Bay Road with the existing Louis Creek Road, and to build a cul- de-sac to provide access into proposed Lot 2. Development Services supports this application, as the applicant has worked with the North Thompson Economic Development Society and the community to find an optimum lot layout for the redevelopment of the Louis Creek industrial land.

[email protected] September 11, 2007 Re: KamloODS DisDatch Centre Dear Mayor and Council: In April I raised in the House concerns that the Kamloops Ambulance Dispatch Centre's current location inadequately ensures the continual, uninterrupted operations of an emergency service that covers 75% of the province. At that time, we saw a sewage problem put the dispatch workers, and as a result, the general population in the precariously dangerous situation of no one answering when they dialled 911. This week new allegations have surfaced surrounding the shutdown of the Dispatch Centre. Monthly safety committee notes released under freedom of information reveal that government officials were informed of structural damage to the Centre a year before the building was forced to shutdown. These notes date back 16 months before the Centre evacuated and point to items such as strong sewage odour, a lack of heat, mould and extensive water damage due to flooding. I have sent a letter to Minister Abbott requesting he act immediately on the necessary repairs at the Kamloops Dispatch Centre, to ensure the safety of the staff and the safety of three quarters of the province who rely on this service.

"Minister Abbott has shown complete inactiqn since this whole mess began," said Wyse, MLA for Cariboo South. "New documents released under fteedom of information reveal that the Campbell govermnent was informed of the Centre's structural inadequacies back in January of 2006. It is completely inexcusable that they ignored these early calls for assistance." New allegations surrounding the shutdown of the Dispatch Centre surfaced after monthly safety committee notes, dating back 16 months before the Centre was forced to evacuate, point to a strong sewage odour, a lack of heat, visible mould and extensive water damage due to floqding. "I'd like the Health Minister to explain how the Kamloops Ambulance Dispatch Centre got to a state where staff had to be evacuated and the emergency needs of British Columbians severely compromised when he was privy to this information well in advance, n said Wyse. "Someone needs to be held accountable for the slow deterioration of this Centre, which serves the 911 needs of more than three quarters of the province covering Northern B.C., the Cariboo, the Okanagan and the Kootenays.

Calgary, Alberta TIP 4Z4 \ \ Dear Mr. Berthot: It has been brought to the attention of Chase Village Council that your company proposes to double track the rail line through the community of Chase. Though we recognize the economic and corporate approach to this project we have a considerable amount of concern relating to publiC safety, quality of life to our citizens and our own economic prosperity. We on Chase Village Council do not support the double tracking of the rail line through our community and question the logic behind the decision to select our community as the proposed location based upon the absence of extensive consultation With our elected officials. In the interest of efficiency and profit we feel that compromising public safety, access to protective and medical services, transportation congestion and compromising quality of life is not a valid basis for this proposed project. There are two crossingS that will be profoundly impacted by this proposed project, the Pine Street and AYlmer Road crossings are major collectors within the Chase transportation infrastructure and the community is divided by the rail line. Congestion at these crossings during peak traffic periods is significant, the introduction of a second track and the facilitation of a switching point to accommodate trains to a length of 10,000 feet will only exacerbate traffic congestion and present significant logistical problems in terms of providing ambulatory, fire and policing services to the residents on the north side of the rail line. In addition, Pine Street serves as the main collector road to the communities of Adams Lake Indian Band and Neskonlith Indian Band . .2/ BofD PageAgende 82 of -178~\-\\lo1 Village of Chase dated September 12, 2007 Re: Canadian Pac... "\ ,,-9D Sep.13. 2007 12:04PM Village of No. 2879 P. 3/3 September 12, 2007 Letter, Mr. Jerry Berthot Page 2 Traffic patterns to roads that gain access to areas north of Chase, including the resort town of Sun Peaks, have steadily increased. From a commercial perspective, forestry and lumber companies rely upon Pine Street as a collector from their commercial operations north of Chase as they transport lumber through the Pine Street crossing as they make a connection with the Trans Canada Highway as a vital means of transporting their product. Our transportation infrastructure at these two croSSings can sustain and accommodate the present train traffic at a rate of 37 trains per day, however, we do not believe that this infrastructure can support the proposed double tracking and anticipated delays at the crossings for prolonged periods of time throughout the day. As the railway company considers this proposed project it is imperative that the interests of our community be considered In terms of the impact this development would have on the community as a whole and the long term implications on our ability to serve the community. We would promote consultation and cooperation with our local government on this proposed development taking into consideration the operations and services of the rail way and most importantly the interests of the local government. Circumstances and conditions to which a railway company operates have changed considerably largely attributable to increased urbanization around trackage and this in Itself would serve notice that local governments have rights and are entitled to protect its interests. As owners of the local roadways to which crossings have a relationship our concerns are earnest and there is a certain expectation that local governments be compensated for the developments that impact the community. Chase Village Council is looking forward to meeting with representatives of your company to further review and discuss your proposal to doUble track the rail line in Chase.

Though we support the principles behind the new regulations, we do not support the province's hands off approach to helping the industry cope with such drastic changes. Local producers cannot afford the ]UJlIlanageable capital costs associated with adapting to the new regulations. Without your support local producers are losing work to larger companies. They cannot compete when they have to pay more to travel hundreds of extra kilometers to the nearest slaughter facility or butcher shop. The end resuJt is that organic farmers suffer and the consumer has reduced choice when it comes to where they get their food. Producing and buying local clearly becomes more difficult if you go ahead with the regulations without offering assistance . .. ./2 BofD Agenda·PageDc-\. 85 \.\of {o-r178 Charlie Wyse, MLA dated September 20, 2007 Re: Meat Inspec... \h~"" -2- We are demanding that you increase the level of funding made available through the Meat Transition Assistance Program and meet with local stakeholders to hear how best we can work together to ensure the vitality of local slaughter facilities in BC and in the Cariboo region.

MEMORANDUM TO: Chief Administrative Officer September 28, 2007 FROM: Director of Environmental Services SUBJECT: Lower Nicola Landfill Phase 2 Expansion Earthworks Project Contract Backaround: The Phase 1 area of the Lower Nicola Landfill has reached the maximum design elevation and capacity and an additional disposal cell is required to handle the rapidly growing volume of solid waste coming to the site from the area. It is proposed to develop a large disposal cell in the east-central portion of the landfill that is expected to provide an additional 150,000 m3 of landfill space. The current consumption rate at the landfill (2006) is between 25,000 to 30,000 m3/year, therefore the new cell should have a useable life in the order of 5 to 6 years. It is proposed to continue the development of the Phase 2 area in 2008 to develop a large demolition and construction waste cell in the lower southeast comer of the landfill. This will allow separation of the municipal and demolition areas of the landfill, so the new cell may last even longer than 5 years. The work is in accordance with the design, operation and closure plan for the landfill and with the TNRD Regional Solid Waste Management Plan that foresees use of the Lower Nicola Landfill for at least another 10 years. The project was tendered and twenty four contractors attended a mandatory site meeting at the Lower Nicola Landfill on September 11, 2007. The tender period closed on September 21, 2007 and nineteen tenders were received, of which fourteen qualified as tenders (were complete as per the tender instructions). Of the qualifying tenders the lowest cost qualified tender was submitted by Glen Labby Contracting Ltd from Kamloops. The list of tenders received is listed below.

Lower Nicola Landfill Phase 2 Expansion Earthworks Project Contract Discussion: References for Glen Labby Construction (GLC) were checked and all were positive. GLC completed a very similar job at the Sicamous Landfill for the CSRD in 2006 and received a very good reference for this work. GLC has a good reputation in the industry and are known for their ability to perform well on large earthworks projects. GLC equipment is relatively new and well maintained. It is expected that they will be able to perform the required work as per the tender documents and complete the work in accordance with a contract if approved by the TNRD Board of Directors. Recommendation: It is recommended that the Thompson-Nicola Regional District Board of Directors accept Glen Labby Contracting Ltd as the preferred bidder for the Lower Nicola Landfill Phase 2 Expansion Earthworks tender and approve a contract between the Thompson-Nicola Regional District and Glen Labby Contracting Ltd for $5,000.00 mobilization costs and a unit rate for earthworks of $2.30 per m3 up to an expected maximum of $371,000.00, plus oversize rock separation and stockpiling at $10.00 per m3 as per the tender submitted with all work to be completed within the 2007 budget limit approved by the TNRD Board of Directors.

MEMORANDUM TO: Chief Administrative Officer October 3, 2007 FROM: Director of Development Services SUBJECT: Indian and Northern Affairs Canada Referral File No. 5673-3-07173 Proposed Conversion of Lands to Indian Reserve Status All That part of the SE 1/4, Section 17, shown on Plan M325, Township 21, Range 16, W6M, Kamloops Division Yale District except Plan 43518 Mount Lolo - adjacent to Kamloops Indian Reserve No.1 The Regional District has received the attached letter from Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) dated July 11,2007, requesting the Board of Directors' consideration of the proposed Addition to Reserve of all that part of the SE 1/4, Section 17, shown on Plan M325, Township 21, Range 16, W6M, Kamloops Division Yale District except Plan 43518. The subject property is located within Electoral Area "P" of the Thompson-Nicola Regional District on Mount Lolo, and is approximately 55 hectares in size. The property was historically used by the Department of National Defense, Public Works and Government Services Canada, and INAC. The Kamloops Indian Band has requested that INAC add the subject lands to the adjacent Kamloops Indian Reserve No.1 being part of the Band's Douglas Land Claim. The Kamloops North Official Community Plan (OCP) designates the subject property Institutional and is zoned P-2 (Institutional), reflecting its historic military use. If the land is added to Kamloops Indian Reserve No.1, the Regional District OCP designation and zoning will no longer apply to this land. The subject property is affected by the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR). INAC has forwarded a separate referral to the Agricultural Land Commission for their comments. Planning Services is not opposed to the proposed addition of the subject property to the Kamloops Indian Reserve No.1; however, public access to lands beyond must not be adversely impacted by the proposed addition.

I have enclosed a map which shows the general location of the proposed addition to reserve lands. The Kamloops Indian Band has asked that the lands, known as Mt Lolo, which are adjacent to Kamloops Indian Reserve No.1 be granted reserve status. These lands are held by Her Majesty the Queen in right of Canada as represented by the Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development. A Dominion Grant was issued in 1914 to Charles Lee and various individuals held the land after Mr. Lee up until 1956. Her Majesty the Queen in right of Canada acquired title to the parcel in 1956 and, since then, it has been administered by three federal departments. These departments are the Department of National Defence, Public Works and Government Services Canada and INAC. Please provide us with any comments or concerns you may have regarding this proposed addition of the lands to Kamloops Indian Reserve No.1 by October 9,2007.

MEMORANDUM TO: Chief Administrative Officer DATE: September 21, 2007 FROM: Clerk/Director of Community Services SUBJECT: Federal Gas Tax Funding - Electoral Area "J" (Copper Desert Country) Furnace and air conditioner replacement and humidifier installation at Savona Museum Background: The Savona Historical Society, through the fundraising efforts of its volunteer members, operates the Savona Museum. The Museum is located in the double wide trailer that used to house the Savona Library. Trailer ownership was transferred from the TNRD to the Savona Community Association in March 2006. The Historical Society falls under the Savona Community Association umbrella. Museum artifacts, and especially the written word, require consistent heat and humidity for preservation and longevity. The existing electric furnace and window air conditioning units are in need of replacement. Proposed is the replacement of the furnace and air conditioner with heat pump units, and installation of a humidifier. Total cost is estimated at $7197.40. The Historical Society has applied for and received a $1,500 grant frorn Spectra Energy. It is proposed the remaining $5,697.40 be funded from Federal Gas Tax Funds, as a green initiative. This project will fall under the Community Energy Systems category which lists the following as an eligible project: "Retrofit local government buildings and infrastructure (e.g. water pumps, street lights, etc.) An amendment to the Gas Tax Agreement, signed on January 25,2007, allows for the funds to be applied to buildings and infrastructure owned by non-government organizations. The TNRD is required to enter into a contract with the non government organization (ngo) that obligates the ngo to abide by all the terms and conditions of the Federal Gas Tax agreement. •. .12 Page 107 of 178 Federal Gas Tax Funding-Electoral Area "J" (Copper Desert Co...

MEMORANDUM TO: Chief Administrative Officer October 4, 2007 FROM: Director of Environmental Services SUBJECT: Amendment to Cache Creek Landfill Operational Certificate Backaround: The Cache Creek Landfill is authorized to accept 500,000 tonnes of waste annually and typically receives approximately 40,000 tonnes per month, the majority from the Metro Vancouver area. The on-going labour dispute in the City of Vancouver and subsequent shut down of the Vancouver Landfill has resulted in an increase in the tonnage of municipal solid waste being transported to the Cache Creek Landfill. It is estimated that 80,000 tonnes per month have been placed in the landfill during the months of July, August and September and it is anticipated that maximum of 500,000 tonnes will be exceeded by the end of October if the labour dispute continues much longer. As such, Wastech Services Ltd. and the Village of Cache Creek have applied to the Ministry of Environment for an amendment to the Operational Certificate increasing the annual tonnage by 100,000 tonnes from the approved level of 500,000 tonnes to 600,000 tonnes for 2007 only. Notification of this intent was provided to the TNRD in a letter dated September 27, 2007 (copy attached) . Public Consultation: The current TNRD Solid Waste Management Plan (1995) requires a public consultation process with the communities in the near vicinity to the landfill if significant increases in the rate of deposition of waste imported from outside the TNRD to existing landfills is contemplated. To fulfil this requirement Wastech initiated a public consultation process that included issuing a press release, a mail-out of notices to all residents in the area and a public meeting. A copy of the public consultation report prepared by Wastech is attached. TNRD staff attended the public meeting held on October 3, 2007 in Cache Creek that was well attended by approximately 60 members of the public who unanimously supported the proposed tonnage increase. Page 109 of 178 Amendment to Cache Creek Landfill Operational Certificate Amendment to Cache Creek Landfill Operational Certificate Recommendation: TNRD staff have reviewed the public consultation report and find that the process fulfils the requirements of the Solid Waste Management Plan. It is recommended that the Thompson-Nicola Regional District Board of Directors support the application by Wastech Services Ltd. and the Village of Cache Creek to amend the Operational Certificate for the Cache Creek Landfill to increase the allowable tonnage by 100,000 tonnes from 500,000 tonnes to 600,000 tonnes for the year 2007 only.

V2C 2A9 Attention: Peter HUl!hes. P.Enl!. Dear Sir: RE: AMENDMENT TO CACHE CREEK LANDFILL OPERATIONS CERTIFICATE TO RECEIVE ADDITIONAL REFUSE IN 2007 Please accept this letter as notification that Wastech Services Ltd. and the Village of Cache Creek are applying to the Ministry of Environment for an amendment to Operations Certificate MR7577 for the Cache Creek Landfill. This amendment is required as an administrative step to adjust the annual volume permitted to be received at the Cache Creek Landfill in 2007. The amendment is required to accommodate the additional waste transported to our facility as a result of the Vancouver Landfill shut down. The request is to increase the annual tonnage by 100,000 Tonnes, from the approved level of 500,000 Tonnes to 600,000 Tonnes for 2007 only. However, the actual tonnage shipped to Cache Creek is dependent on the duration of Vancouver Landfill closure. If the landfill closure ends soon we will only take enough refuse to sustain our landfill operation for the remainder of 2007. Under the Thompson-Nicola Regional District (TNRD) Solid Waste Management Plan (1995), Section 5.9.1, the TNRD Board provided for increased waste importation to the Cache Creek Landfill from both inside and outside the TNRD. Section 5.9.3 also indicates that if a significant rate increase is to occur from out$ide the TNRD a public involvement process with the affected communities is required. The Ministry of Environment has confirmed the need to submit a public consultation report with the request to amend the Operations Certificate. To that end, Wastech and the Village of Cache Creek have notified the local community, both by door-ta-door flyer delivery and in the local media, of a public meeting to be held at 7:30 pm October 3 2007, at the Cache Creek Community Centre. The purpose of the public meeting is to provide information to the public and to receive comments and questions about the impacts of this amendment. WASTECH SERVICES LTD. 1200 United Boulevard.

BACKGROUND: Wastech Services Ltd. and the Village of Cache Creek are named co-holders of OperatioDS Certificate MR-7577 issued by the Ministry of Environment (MoE) for the Cache Creek t.Q1ldfiIl, located in Cache Creek, British Columbia.

The Cache Creek Landfill has been in operation since 1988 and is permitted to accept up to 500,000 toones of municipal solid waste (MSW) from the GVRD (now Metro Vancouver), the TNRD, and other regional districts including the Fraser Valley Regional District, Cowicban Valley Regional District, and the Powell River Regional District On July 20 2007, the City of Vancouver Landfill was closed as a result of a labour dispute between the City of Vancouver and its labour union. As a result of this closure Metro Vancouver (MV) directed Wastech Service to take all MSW delivered to the Transfer StatiODSin the Lower MAinl"f1(!to Cache Creek T.••nilfil1 As a result of the additional MSW received ftom the closure of the Vancouver lAndfill, and the diversion of waste that Wastech would normally hanl to Vancouver T JjnrIfill, the lUUount of waste hanled to the Cache Creek I.andfilJ has doubled. As the Vancouver Landfill remained closed it beclUD.eappaieut that the Cache Creek Landfill annual approved limit would be exceeded. The MoE recommended that Wastech pursue an IUD.endment to the OperatiODS Certificate (OC) as an adminhl1zative step to ensure compliance with the annual capacity identified in the OC was maintained. DISCUSSION: WastecI1 began making ammgements fur a public meeting by hiring FaUfurce Communication to develop materials and advertising for such a session. Due to the tight time fuunes to meet the MoE deadline a public meeting was arranged and advertised at theYillage of Cache Creek fur the evening of October 32007.

CONCLUSIONS: The Open House and presentation on October 3,2007 provided a furum fur the public to hear the reason Wastech and the Village of Cache Creek are requesting an amendment to the Operational Cerli:fi.cate. OVerall, those attending this session provided support for the RmP.l1dmentand were concerned about any delays in the process that might see the Cache Creek IJllJdfill operation shut down, even tempoonily while the amendment process was underway. Concern was raised over the risk in not ethonnqg the amendment at all. This would result in the landfill being shutdown for the last two months of the year, forcing landfill and complimentary industries to shut down, creating significant hardship on employee$ and the community in general. Those at the session gave overwhelming support to proceed with, and obtain. the amendment as quickly as possible to ensure continnity of the industry in the community. !

Will granting this amendment fill up the landfill faster? A. Not necessarily, because we may have an opportunity to balance out the increased tate of refuse recently received over the next couple of years Q. What is going to happen afterwards to maintain the lautlfill CllPacity? A. Wastech will be pursuing an Annex to the west side of the CU11'eI1tlandfill. Q. If the public does not agree to support this amendment what happens to the employees and COIIItIlunity? A. Wastech will try to maintain the operation but without an amendment we will be forced to shut down WJ:1enannual CllPacityis reached. Q. If Metro Vancouver cannot find another site where will the refuse in Metro Vancouver go? A. This is a topic for another meeting. For this session we need to focus on the 100,000 Tonne amendment for 2007. Q. We understand that the Ministry ofEnviromneo.t advertises for 14 days after the receipt of an amendment application. Is this to seek other input ftom the public on this application? A. Yes, this is a legislated requirement. Q. Would saying no to this application provide pressure on the powers that be to get a replacement landfill going? A. The long-term CllJlacityand replacement J""tlfil1 is going through a process with Metro Vancouver and the Province. Saying no could open the door to taking waste to the United States. I Q. Has the truck traffic doubled since July? I A. The truck traffic 1:1asdoubled and to date there have been no complaints ftom the COIIItIlunitiesin the Fraser Canyon. Q. Is the 100,000 tonne request enough? What happens if the amendment does not happen? A. Timing is very tight to get the amendment. If the VLF Closure goes to the end of the year 100,000 to~ will not be enough. At this point we are making our best guess on what might happen. There is a possibility we may have to go back for another Amendment. Q. W1:1y did this issue not come to light sooner? This issue should have been addressed earlier. A. From the infuunation we were receiving the thought was that the VLF Closure would end earlier and that would have allowed more time for the amendment application. In the end, we would still have had to go through the amendment process, but we would not have been as rushed and we would have had a better idea ofwhat the total number for the amendment would have been. Q. Are the TNRD and Ministry ofEnviromnent the only ones that have to make the decision on the amendment? What will be the timeftame to get this through their process? A. The public consultation report needs to get to the TNRD Board as soon as possible. TNRD stafIwill asaess the report and the adequacy of the consultation and will make a recommendation to the Board as soon as they can. Next meetings are October 11 and October 25.

I am concemed about how we can get the Province to make a decision in a timely mRi'lnP.l'. A. Regional office has been very responsive to our requests in the p8$t and we expect the same in this situation. Q. Can the Province start the evaluation and notification process in advance of the TNRD providing their approval? A. The Ministry of Environment can start the review process in advance of receiving TNRD approval, but needs to have confirmation ofTNRD acceptance before granting an amendment. The Ministry responds to and follows the TNRD process as outlined in their Solid Waste Management Plan. Q. What about Ashcroft and Cache Creek's agreement with respect to the new l~ndfi11?Development of the Annex would hurt Ashcroft in the long run. A. This is not the subject oftoday's meeting and should be discussed between the Villages. Q. If the new landfill goes to Ashcroft Ranch will the Cache Creek Landfill be operated at the same time? A. Unlikely that both would operate at the same time. Q. The employees directly employed in the industry would like to see the industry stay QpCILIn all honesty, how do you see this happening, and what COntiJlgency does Wastech have for supporting those employees if this does not happen? A. W8$techbelieves that we will be successful in obtaini1\gthe "",,,,,dment. At this point there is no contingeJ1cyifwe are unsuccessful. Q. Discussionis drifting awayfioIn the approval of the 100,000 tonne amendment. I believe we should be moving furward with approval of this amP.ndm""t. The other issues around expansion can be discussed in future. Q. Would employees be eligible for Employment InsUrance if the landfill was shut down for the last two months of the year? A. (ftotn the floor) Likely not as they would have eamed too much already during the year to qualify. Q. Is there a benefit/incentive to the employees directly involved for handl;ng this additional waste? How does this affect the employees in the long teen? A. There is no incentive program III! we always professionally manage what comes at US, and we are here to try to get the amP.ndm""tto reduce any hard$hip in the . long-tenn. Q. I see the landfill now growing very fast, but operating extremely well A bit more litter and a bit more odour is present. I live at the Sand & Sage and there has not been a significant impact. When there was strong odours it was fioIn the ttaiIers waiting to be dum.ped,not ftom the Jlt"dfill, Once the refuse has been dumped at the landfill the odour is gone. Q. What can we do here tonight to send a message to the decision makers that we want the amendment to proceed? A. A show of support by saying yeah if you agree this should proceed.

Team Power Smart will promote energy conservation throughout British Columbia by having each leader demonstrate tips to conserve electricity and show how simple lifestyle changes can make a difference. "Team Power Smart will lead British Columbia by example by taking a few small actions in our everyday behaviours that will make a huge difference in meeting the future energy needs of our growing province," said Premier and general manager of Team Power Smart Gordon Campbell. Campbell and BC Hydro president and CEO as well as Team Power Smart head coach Bob Elton drafted 20 well-known British Columbians to lead the province in energy conservation. Steve Nash, two·time MVP of the Phoenix Suns was named team captain of Team Power Smart. "Conservation is our first and best choice to fill RCo's electricity gap," said Elton. "Since 2001, BC Hydro has been importing electricity to meet the growing demand in the province. Saving electricity is something each British Columbian can do. We've asked these dynamic leaders to show how easy it is to make a difference." "By being more aware and taking personal action, each of us can make a difference in conserving more and reducing our impact on the environment," said Nash. For instance, if every household in B.C. changed their five most-used incandescent light bulbs to compact florescent lights would save enough electricity to light 235,000 households for a year. Everyone in British Columbia can join Team Power Smart at www.bchvdro.com/teamuowersmart. Team members who sign up on the website will be able to start their own individual conservation game plan, access tips and information ITom a personal energy coach and win prizes. "As conservation ambassadors, team leader's personal stories of individual action will inspire British Columbians to build on our leadership in conservation," Elton said. "And it's I10tabout being perfect. It's about doing the little things that make sense for each person." Team Power Smart is key to achieving two goals of the RC. Energy Plan - making B.C. electricity self-sufficient by 2016 and meeting half of our province's future electricity needs through conservation by 2020. -more- 80fD Page 147 of 178 BC News Release dated September 20, 2007 Re: BC Hydro draf...

COLUMBIA Q - ..----.- The &est Plact on Earth powersmart BACKGROUNDER 20070TP013I-00ll57 Office of the Premier Sept. 20, 2007 BC Hydro TEAM POWER SMART • BC Hydro's long-term forecast shows that in two decades, our province will require as much as 45 per cent more electricity in the next 20 years. • The first and best choice to fill this "electricity gap" and to lessen our impact on the environment is conservation. In doing so, we can achieve the B.C. Energy Plan objectives of becoming electricity self-sufficient by 2016 and meeting half of our province's future electricity needs through conservation by 2020. • With Team Power Smart, BC Hydro is taking the lead to encouraging all British Columbians to conserve more, by calling upon well-known British Columbians to become leaders in energy efficiency and conservation. Each ofthem lives or has roots in B.C., and has a passion for energy efficiency. • This diverse group of individuals will be profiled throughout their conservation journey, sharing their experiences, challenges and successes as they become personal leaders in energy efficiency and conservation. To support them, BC Hydro's Power Smart team will help identity, investigate and implement an individual energy efficiency and conservation game plan. Power Smart Team Leaders will: • With the help of a personal energy coach, make changes to reduce their energy footprint • Conduct a personal baseline of current energy use; • Prepare a personal energy "Game Plan" based on their lifestyle and what changes they can and are willing to make.; • Participate in initiatives such as an in-home audit, opportunity identification and sampling energy conservation innovation technologies; and • Share their conservation success stories and challenges with British Columbians. BC Hydro invites British Columbians to set a conservation goal and join Team Power Smart. You can join by visiting www.bchvdro.com/teamDowersmart. Page 149 of 178 BC News Release dated September 20, 2007 Re: BC Hydro draf... - 2 - Ten Power Smart "plays" to help you make your conservation goal A little teamwork goes a long way: Following a few simple tips to reduce consumption and improve energy efficiency can make a huge difference in achieving energy conservation and reducing our impact on the environment: I. Turn off all the lights when you leave a room. If every household in B.C. turned off one light bulb for four hours a day for one year, it would save enough electricity to power all the homes in Mission for an entire year. 2. Turn off your TV, DVD player and stereo when you are not using them. If every household in B.C. turned off their televisions, DVD players and stereos for two hours per day, it would save $23.5 million. The energy savings could provide electricity to all the homes in Kamloops for an entire year. 3. Turn off your computer and printer, when not in use. If all the families in B.C. that usually leave their computer and monitor running 24 hours a day, turned them off when they are not in use, energy saved each year could power every arena in the NHL for 62 seasons. 4. Unplug cell phone, camera, and other battery chargers when charging is complete. Many electronic devices continue to use power even when you are not operating them. The amount of energy consumed by electronics in a year when they were not in use could power Whistler Blackcomb resort for 43 years. 5. Install compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs). If every household in B.C. changed their five most-used incandescent light bulbs to CFLs, the amount of electricity saved would be enough to light 235,000 households for an entire year. 6. Turn down your thermostat 1°C or consider installing a programmable thermostat. If every household in B.C. with electric space heating turned down their heat by I°C for eight hours a day, it would save enough electricity to power Science World for over 75 years. 7. Wash your clothes with cold water. If all the families in B.C. switched to cold water washing, the province would save $87 million. That's enough electricity to wash over 130 million loads of clothes in a &ont loading clothes washer. 8. Turn off your car when idling for more than 10 seconds. By avoiding idling for five minutes a day, motorists of Vancouver could, each day, collectively avoid wasting 26,000 litres offue!- enough to make 81 trips in a hybrid vehicle along the entire length of the TransCanada Highway, &om Victoria, B.C. to St. John's, Newfoundland. Page 150 of 178 BC News Release dated September 20, 2007 Re: BC Hydro draf... -3- 9. Buy ENERGY STAR® symbol when choosing electronic appliances. Electronics that are ENERGY STAR® labeled use as much as 50 per cent less energy as comparable models, while providing the same performance. If all families in B.C. were to use a 10 per cent more efficient reffigemtor, it would save enough electricity each year to microwave over 2 billion bags of popcorn. 10. Turn off the water when brushing your teeth. If every person in B.C. reduced the time they let the tap running while brushing their teeth, shaving, or washing their face by three minutes per day, they would save enough water to fill 23,000 Olympic sized swimming pools. -30- Media Mike Morton Gillian Robinson contact: Press Secretary Media Relations Office of the Premier BC Hydro 250213-8218 604 623-4022 For more information on government services or to subscribe to the Province's news feeds using RSS, visit the Province's website at www.lI:ov.bc.ca.

Y) Interior Health QC~l{ITlfJiA The Best Place on Earth MEDIA RELEASE For Immediate Release COMMUNICATIONS, #220-1815 Kirschner Road, Kelowna, BC, VIY 4N7 www.inreriorhealrh.ca September 20, 2007 Nurse Practitioner Will Improve Access to Patient Care in Logan Lake Logan Lake - The hiring of a new nurse practitioner will ensure access to quality health care for residents of Logan Lake starting September 25. "The nurse practitioner will supplement the excellent work already being done by other health service providers in Logan Lake," said Health Minister George Abbott. "Nurse practitioners are relatively new to B.C. and are highly skilled nurses who can help diagnose and treat common illnesses, order investigations and prescribe medications." Nurse practitioners are masters-educated nurses who are helping meet the province's growing need for primary health care by providing neW care options for patients, particularly in situations where patients do not have a family doctor. They are independent practitioners who work with doctors as part of the primary health-care team, providing comprehensive and continuous care for patients. British Columbia's first-ever class of nurse practitioners graduated in 2005. They can help alleviate gaps in service and waiting times in the system, including rural and remote communities. Nurse practitioners have practiced within Interior Health since August 2005. Working collaboratively with family physicians, therapists, nutritionists, social workers and pharmacists, nurse practitioners can meet many patients' everyday health care needs. They also focus on educating patients and the public about healthy living and illness prevention. In addition to this new position, Interior Health is actively recruiting another doctor for a permanent position in Logan Lake. Several doctors have already expressed interest in moving to the community and Mayor Ella Brown said the nurse practitioner is an important addition while another full-time doctor is sought. "People come to Logan Lake for a high quality of life in a quiet, beautiful setting. This new position helps ensure residents can enjoy life here with a greater sense of security that their health needs will be met," Brown said. BofD Page 153 of 178 Interior Health Media Release dated September 20, 2007 Re: ... Attac:h - Page 2 While recruitment efforts continue for a second full-time doctor for the Logan Lake Health Centre, Interior Health has brought short-term locum doctors into the community to assist the full4ime physician. "Interior Health appreciates the support of the community and will continue to work with Logan Lake to address challenges around recruitment," said Linda Basran, IH community administrator for the Thompson region. Since 2001, the province has invested $174 million - including $28 million in May 2007 - into B.C.'s Nursing Strategy to help educate, retain and recruit the best qualified nurses in British Columbia. B.C.'s Nursing Strategy applies to registered nurses, registered psychiatric nurses, licensed practical nurses and nurse practitioners.

But the same technology that helped people mellow out in the past will boost care for psychiatric patients at Hillside Centre through the new Snoezelen room. "Thanks to a generous donation from the Evening Auxiliary to Royal Inland Hospital, patients at Hillside will receive the benefits of a therapy which has proven to calm, stimulate and empower people with disabilities," said Hillside geriatric psychiatrist Dr. Carol Ward. The $30,000-donation from the Auxiliary allowed Hillside to purchase the multi-sensory equipment required for the Snoezelen room. "They'Ve done a super job of this. We felt that this was a special project because it provides direct patient comfort," said Auxiliary president Jenny Strudwick. The therapy calms patients who are agitated or upset, improves social interaction and increases skill acquisition through an environment featuring glowing bubble tubes, coloured light sprays, mild aromatherapy, soft music, tactile beads and other tools that stimulate sight, smell, hearing and touch. "Individuals who are often isolative and keep to themselves will start interacting and talking to other patients around the Snoezelen equipment," said Kathryn Fields, Hillside Centre occupational therapist. "Others we thought wouldn't be interested in the equipment surprise us, laughing and chatting about how wonderful it is and how it is reducing their stress. The purpose of the Snoezelen room is pure enjoyment and it focuses on improving quality of life and well-being." Dr. Ward knew about Snoezelen from her work with long-term care dementia patients in Ontario and said goals of the therapy include reducing behavioural symptoms, stimulating the senses and enhancing relaxation. PageBofD 155 of 178 Interior Health Media Release dated September 20, 2007 Re: ... Attach. Dc\ \\ /07 Page 2 "It's a wonderful opportunity for our patients to have this in an acute tertiary mental health hospital. It allows our patients to relax and have fun in an almost magical type of setting," Dr. Ward said. Snoezelen doesn't just benefit individual patients who use the therapy - it improves the relationship between patients and staff and amongst the patients themselves. Nursing staff report not just a noticeable positive difference in individual's moods after the sessions, but an overall calm and relaxed mood on the unit. Since April, Hillside patients have benefited from a portable Snoezelen cart which allows staff to bring the therapy directly to patients and set up group sessions in various units at the centre. Now that the fully-equipped room is also complete, Hillside Centre will be introducing uses for Snoezelen therapy to staff through educational sessions and mentoring. Dr. Ward said the long-term goal is to add to research already done on Snoezelen for patients with dementia, and potentially to assess its impact on other patient groups including those with head injuries and other neuropsychiatric conditions. "Hopefully, we will be able to act as a resource for other facilities, including those offering long- term care, that may be interested in developing a Snoezelen experience," said Dr. Ward.

New beds mean new jobs. "Creating more educational opportunities at Thompson Rivers University supports the anticipated demand for more residential care aides at Coquihalla Gillis House" said Kamloops MLA Claude Richmond. "Up to 10 new residential care aides are expected to be needed to support the $6.2-million expansion of the facility by the time it is completed in June 2008," said Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Kevin Krueger. People looking to join the exciting and rewarding field of health care can get training right in Merritt and in just 24 weeks through the Home SupporUResidential Care Attendant certificate program from Thompson Rivers University. Interior Health is partnering with TRU to encourage enrollment in this program, which begins Nov. 26, 2007, at the NVIT campus. "The fact TRU is holding classes in Merritt this November is a great benefit to us. We'll have residential care attendants graduating right when our new jobs become available," said Linda Lillie, Interior Health's Manager of Health Services for Merritt. "We encourage people searching for a new career path to consider opportunities like the one this TRU program provides."

COMMUNITIES COMMIT TO CARBON NEUTRALITY BY 2012 VANCOUVER - Local governments from across B.C. signed a Climate Action Charter with the Province and the Union ofBC Municipalities today, committing to a goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2012. "Our government is committed to taking action on climate change and, by working in partnership with local governments, we will be more effective in reducing our greenhouse gas emissions," Premier Gordon Campbell said today, as he joined with UBCM president Brenda Binnie to sign a memorandum of understanding with the goal of local governments becoming carbon neutral over the next five years. "By signing the BC Climate Action Charter today, we are taking a key step toward improving the quality of life for our residents and communities tomorrow." Sixty-two communities signed the Charter during Wednesday's UBCM session in VancouVer. In addition to a goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2012, local governments pledged to measure and report on their community's greenhouse gas emissions profile and work to create compact, more energy efficient communities. Regional district boards and municipal councils across the province have been considering adoption of the agreement's goals over the two weeks leading up to convention and it is expected more communities will sign on in the coming weeks. "Local governments have provided a fast, positive response to the Premier's invitation to sign on to the BC Climate Action Charter," said Binnie. "The challenges posed by climate change tequire intergovernmental partnerships at all levels, so we anticipate many more signatories in the near future." Carbon neutrality involves measuring the greenhouse gas emissions that come from government operations such as buildings and fleet vehicles and then reducing those emissions to net zero. Governments achieve carbon neutrality by reducing emissions where possible, by purchasing carbon offsets to compensate for its greenhouse gas emissions or by developing projects to offset emissions. Such projects may include converting to energy efficient buildings and replacing old fleet vehicles and buses with hybrids. UBCM and the provincial government will establish a Joint Provincial-UBCM Green Communities committee and Green Communities Working Groups to define a range of actions that can affect climate change, build local government capacity to plan and implement climate change initiatives, support local governments in taking actions to make their own operations carbon neutral by 2012, and share information to support climate change activities. -more- 801D AttachPage -160() ofc\ 178U/07 BBC News Release dated September 26, 2007 Re: BC Communiti... - 2 - To view a copy of the BC Climate Action Charter, visit www.cserv.gov.bc.ca/ministrv/docs/climate action charter.pdf online. -30- 1 backgrounder(s) attached.

BRITISH COLUMBIA The Ikn Place on i;:anh NEWS RELEASE For Immediate Release Office of the Premier 20070TPO I41-00 I209 Sept. 28, 2007 PREMIER OUTLINES NEW STEPS TO TACKLE CLIMATE CHANGE VANCOUVER - The Province will introduce new legislative measures this fall that will mandate greenhouse gas reduction targets and provide legal tools to implement government's strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 33 per cent below current levels by 2020, Premier Gordon Campbell announced today at the Union of British Columbia Municipalities convention. "As we said in the throne speech, our target for 2020 is very aggressive and it will challenge us all to meet it," said Campbell. "In this coming fall session, we intend to legislate the 2020 target, as well as a target for 2050. The bill will also require us to establish legally binding emissions reduction targets for 2012 and 2016." A Climate Action Team will also be /IIlhounced next month, consisting of a "blue ribbon" team of leaders from environmental organizations, private enterprise, the scientific community, First Nations and academia. The Climate Action Team will determine the most credible, aggressive and economically viable sector targets possible for 2012 and 2016. That work will be completed by July 31, 2008. The targets identified for 2012 and 2016 must be scientifically supported with viable emission reduction strategies that are economically and fiscally achievable. Those targets will be put out for public review, either accepted or amended, and legally mandated through regulation by the end of2008. Legislation will also be introduced next spring to allow for the creation of market mechanisms and make B.C. the first province in Canada to legally require "hard caps" on GHG emissions. Those caps will be used as part of a "cap and trade system" that is scheduled to be developed by next August through the Western Climate Initiative. Sectoral symposiums will take place to discuss GHG emission reduction strategies with forestry (Prince George), mining (Terrace) energy (Fort St. John) waste and landfills (Nanaimo) and agriculture (Kamloops). Further legislation will be introduced this fall to require all Province of British Columbia entities, including Crown agencies, to be carbon neutral by 2010. All public sector organizations, including school boards and health authorities, will be required by law to produce annual public reports on their progress. All government travel will be required to be carbon neutral starting this year. Emissions !Tom government travel will be tracked, calculated, peer reviewed and audited. Measures to reduce unnecessary travel, such as video-conferencing capabilities, will be extended. Starting this fiscal year, for every tonne of GHGs associated with official government travel, the Province will invest $25 in a new BC Carbon Trust. The trust will be launched early next year and will ensure tax Qollars are invested in valid offset projects in B.C. It will also be open to individuals, companies and other levels of government to help them become carbon neutral and help reduce emissions by supporting a rnade-in-B.C. offset project. Projects funded by the trust may include enhanced energy efficiency, produce clean, renewable energy or sequester carbon through incremental afforestation measures. -more- 80fD AttaChPage• 164Oc--..!\ of 178~l1m BC News Release dated September 28, 2007 Re: Premier Outli... -2- "In the long run, this has the potential to save agencies money.

Other actions outlined by Premier Campbell: • Greenhouse gas emissions reduction strategies and targets will be legally required in all official community plans and regional growth strategies. • Municipalities will be given the power to waive development cost charges as a way to encourage green developments, small unit housing and small lot subdivisions. • All new government buildings or facilities shall be built to a minimum LEED Gold or equivalent certification. • Legislation will be introduced next spring to require the adoption of California tailpipe emission standards to be phased in ITom 2009 to 20 I6. • B.C. will be the first province in Canada to legally adopt California's low carbon fuel content standards, a requirement that will reduce carbon intensiry of all passenger vehicles by a further 10 per cent by 2020. • B.C. will implement a five per cent average renewable fuel standard for diesel by 2010 and support the federal government's plan to increase the ethanol content of gasoline to five per cent by 2010. • The Province will provide an additional $50 million this year for BC Transit to purchase new, clean buses and expand public transit service across B.C. • In the coming weeks, government will layout a vision for transit. It will be on a scale and scope aimed at making B.C. a global leader in public transit. "Later this fall, we will be releasing phase one of our climate action plan that will detail strategies we've identified so far which have the potential to reduce our GHG emissions by 24 to 33 million tonnes. That's enough to get us anywhere ITom 60 to 82 per centtowardS our target ofa 33 per cent reduction," said Campbell. To date, the Cabinet Committee on Climate Action has had 177 presentations from scientists, public servants, environmental organizations, academics and industry sectors. The committee has identified strategies to reduce sectoral emissions by an estimated seven to nine million tonnes ITom electricity, two million tonnes ITom buildings, seven to 10 million tonnes ITom industry, six to nine million tonnes ITom transportation and two to three million tonnes ITom waste. There will be independent verification of these reductions through a peer review panel. Those numbers will change as new strategies are identified and the government hears more ITom each sector about what it thinks is possible. -30- Media Mike Morton contact: Press Secretary Office of the Premier 250387-1715 (office) 250213-8218 (cell) For more information on government services or to subscribe to the Province's news feeds using RSS, visit the Province's website at www.gov.bc.ca.

PROVIDES ADDITIONAL TOOLS FOR ENERGY CONSERVATION VANCOUVER - The government will introduce legislation this spring requiring 50 per cent of all new incremental power needs to be offset through conservation by 2020 and will begin the process to seriously consider Site C, Premier Gordon Campbell announced today at the Union of British Columbia Municipalities convention. "Hydro has just put out a 'clean' power call that will be followed by a bio-energy power caU early next year," said Campbell. "But the fact remains we still need some new large-scale power production, and our options for clean, large-scale power are very limited. We are going to begin the process to seriously consider Site C." The process will include extensive consultations with First Nations, the Province of Alberta and the public. Campbell said that if Site C does move forward it will be a public asset and a new heritage asset of BC Hydro. Campbell also announced that BC Hydro will be required to implement new technology and develop a process where both commercial and residential customers can seUback surplus power. The first step towards such a system will be for Hydro to help customers install "smart meters" and then develop a "smart electricity grid" that can precisely track and manage power demand. The 1.7 million residential and commercial meters, currently read manuaUy, will be replaced with meters that Canbe read automatically. That new technology will allow for "net metering" whereby industrial power producers and residential customers can sell back surplus power. A "green power pricing" process will be established to reward customers for reducing and shifting power consumption to off- peak periods. Smart meters will be mandatory under the BC Building Code in all new buildings and every residential unit. The new green building code will implement the highest energy efficiency standards in Canada, which will result in homes in B.C. costing less to heat and reduce impacts on the environment. "California and Washington states have had these codes in place for 25 years," said Campbell. "If we had a green building code in 1986, we would be able to power 250,000 additional homes today." The Province will also introduce legislation to support the new energy plan such as requiring all new electricity produced to have net zero greenhouse gas emissions and aUexisting power generation will be required to have net zero GHG emissions by 2016. In addition, no coal-fired electricity projects will be permitted without 100 per cent carbon sequestration. -more- BofD PageAttach 166- of ill178 ~\/o?

BRITISH •••••L'COLUMBIA The /k.,q PJI\tt on Earth INFORMATION BULLETIN For Immediate Release Ministry of Health 2007HEAL THO II 0-00 1205 Sept. 28, 2007 PROVINCE HELPS MEAT PROCESSORS SHIFT TO NEW RULES VICTORIA - The provincial government is enhancing food safety in British Columbia with a new meat inspection regulation that takes effect on Sept. 30, 2007, and will also provide support to processors to complete facility upgrades with a temporary transitional licence. The new Meat Inspection Regulation under the BC Food Safety Act (2004) will strengthen the province's meat surveillance and inspection system. The act supports the rapid identification, tracking and elimination at source offood-borne risks to public health and promotes public confidence in the province's $22-billion a year agricultural-food industry. The ministries of Health, Agriculture and Lands, and Environment continue to work closely with small producers and processors in rural and remote areas to support the viability oflocal food production. The regulatory system will remain flexible to accommodate small plant operations while ensuring that B.C.' s food safety standards are now consistent across the province and are in line with other jurisdictions in Canada. As part of a commitment to help small producers make the transition, the Province will allow temporary transitional licenses that will expire after six months to processors whose facility upgrades to the new standards are already in progress. This is in addition to a one-year extension of the original 2006 deadline and a $5-million Meat TranSition Assistance Program. Where the BC Centre for Disease Control has already approved a construction plan under Section 8 ofthe Meat Inspection Regulations, the Province is prepared to offer operators 'Class C' trailsitionallicenses. Undet Class C, the processor's meat would be labelled as uninspected and restricted to direct farm gate sales only - not for resale to retailers or restaurants. Information on B.C.'s new Meat Inspection Regulation is available at www.health.gov.bc.ca/protectlmeatinspection.html. -30- Media Sarah Plank contact: Manager of Media Relations Ministry of Health 250952-1887 (media line) 250480-6678 (cell) For more information on government services or to subscribe to the Province's news feeds using RSS, visit the Province's Website at www.gov.bc.ca.

BRITISH COLUMBIA 1he Ikst Place on Earth NEWS RELEASE For Immediate Release Ministry of Economic Development 2007ECD0039-00 1195 Sept. 26, 2007 NEW PNP MEASURES TO ATTRACT MORE STRATEGIC INVESTMENT VANCOUVER - Chl\llges in the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) to lower the investment threshold I\IId fast-track the process will make it easier for business immigrl\llts to start up new business ventures, and will give B.C. an edge in the global competition for entrepreneurial talent I\IId investment, announced Economic Development Minister Colin Hl\llsen. "By making these changes, we expect to attract more entrepreneurs I\IId investment into the kinds of innovative and higher value-added sectors that contribute most to sustainable economic development I\IId stronger regional economies," said Hl\llsen. Recognizing that most business immigrl\llts create small, start-up ventures, new minimum investment requirements have been set for the PNP's three business categories. The new minimum investment is $400,000 for Business Skills, $200,000 for Regional Business I\IId $500,000 for Strategic Projects. Applicl\llts will still be required to create a minimum number of new jobs for Cl\lladil\lls - three in a Business Skills enterprise, one in a Regional Business enterprise and three for each nominee applicl\llt involved in a Strategic Projects venture. To encourage more inwstment outside of the province's fastest growing I\IId most developed region, eligibility in the Regional Business category will now be limited to immigrl\llts who locate their business outside ofthe VI\IIcouver I\IId Abbotsford metropolitl\ll areas. The business ventures eligible for the lower investment thresholds are: • Increasing destination tourism • Increasing R&D and technology commercialization • Increasing value-added ml\llufacturing/processing and exporting • Developing innovative and creative approaches to traditional businesses • Transferring technology, skills and specialized know-how to the province • Servicing underserved local or regional markets Special consideration will be given to business proposals that contribute to: • Expanding business with the Asia-Pacific region • Utilizing wood infected by the mountain pine beetle • DiversifYing the economies of communities affected by the mountain pine beetle • Creating business partnerships with the province's First Nations • Developing the province's emerging technology industries: clean technologies, information technology, new media, I\IId life sciences -more- BofD Attach.Page 177Oc.\ ofII 178(of BC News Release dated September 26, 2007 Re: New PNP Measu... -2- Finally, the program will now offer a fast-track option for entrepreneurs who post a $125,000 performance deposit in return for immediate nomination so that they can move quickly to make their investment and set up their business in British Columbia. This option is available to Business Skills and Regional Business applicants, and the $125,000 performance bond is in addition to the minimum investment for these categories. Since the PNP was established in March 2001, over 3,394 skilled and business immigrants plus their dependents have made this province their home through the program. Last year alone, the province attracted over 1,300 skilled workers and entrepreneurs - 3,700 new immigrants ifPNP includes their family members. From the time the business category was introduced in 2002, the PNP has approved 330 nominee candidates who have committed to invest over $450 million and create almost 1,700 new jobs. -30- Media Rena Kendall-Craden contact: Communications Director 250952-0152 For more information on government services or to subscribe to the Province's news feeds using RSS, visit the Province's website at www.gov.bc.ca.
