Hello All, on Behalf of Chief Yahey, Attached Please Find a Revised Draft NB-1 Received DC Office January 18, 2020 From: Bryan Evans Sent: Friday, January 17, 2020 11:51 AM To: Chief Marvin Yahey; Trevor Makadahay; Lori Ackerman; Rob Fraser; Chair Brad Sperling Cc: Chief Hunter; Dan Bernier; Shona Nelson; Merli de Guzman Subject: Updated TLE Letter attached - for review and signature Hello All, On behalf of Chief Yahey, attached please find a revised draft letter to the Province with respect to TLE lands. This version includes changes as discussed at the last Community Leaders Gathering on November 19 and updated timelines. We anticipated having the parties review and ideally sign this letter at the CLG meeting at Halfway River First Nation today. Given the postponement due to weather, we are hopeful that each of the Parties can review the letter and indicate your support by email. From discussion internally, Chief Yahey and Chief Makadahay have indicated that they are prepared to sign this letter on behalf of BRFN and DRFN. Our understanding is that while HRFN support resolution of TLE lands generally, they are not in a position to support this letter specifically, and will pursue their own opportunities to engage with BC to advance TLE to conclusion. We have therefore removed HRFN from the signature block. Could you please review the attached and indicate your support by providing either a digital signature or a scanned signature page. BRFN will offer to compile the signed version and forward to British Columbia on behalf of the parties, copying all of you. If further discussion is needed among the signatories, the matter can be postponed to the next CLG meeting. Best regards, Bryan Bryan Evans Principal, Dovetail Consulting Group PO Box 1867 Garibaldi Highlands, BC, V0N 1T0 604-356-1950 [email protected] www.dovetailconsulting.com January 23, 2020 NB-1 Friday, January 17th, 2020 Via e-mail The Honourable John Horgan, M.L.A.

Minister of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources Parliament Buildings Victoria, BC V8V I X4 Re: Community Leaders Group Support for Timely Resolution of TLE Claims We, the undersigned participants in the Community Leaders Group, have recently held meetings to discuss issues of mutual concern and to identify common interests within the Fort St. John region and Peace Treaty 8 territory. We view the Community Leaders Group as having the potential to become an important forum for sharing interests and creating dialogue regarding the amendments to the Fort St John Land and Resource Management Plan (LRMP) and other matters affecting our communities. Page 1 of 3 January 23, 2020 NB-1 At the recent meeting in Fort St. John on October 25, we collectively identified a priority need for the Province to take all necessary steps and move expediently to settle outstanding Treaty Land Entitlement (TLE) claims prior to engaging in another British Columbia imposed process such as the Fort St. John LRMP update. The TLE claims involve historical entitlements to land that was promised, but not provided under Treaty 8 and has been an outstanding and unfulfilled treaty obligation since 1900. Canada, British Columbia and Treaty 8 First Nations have been in TLE claim negotiations for fifteen years. Canada provided a settlement Agreement in 2016 and since then, the First Nations have been forced to deal with unnecessary administrative and political delays by the Province of British Columbia which has caused them significant financial hardship and unnecessary administrative burdens. This failure by British Columbia has impeded much needed economic investment into the local northeast economy which all residents and stakeholders would benefit from. The First Nations in the TLE process need certainty on their respective land selections and all of our communities need resolution of this issue to move forward collectively in a process of recognition and reconciliation. Timely settlement of the TLE claims would also align with the Province's stated commitments to reconciliation and the principles of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of indigenous People (UNDRIP), as well as with this Provincial government’s recent introduction of Bill 41 in the Legislature, which is aimed at the meaningful implementation of UNDRIP. To this end we call upon the Province to make TLE settlement an urgent and top priority and to commit all necessary human and financial resources to the resolution of these claims as soon as possible. This includes: 1. Active oversight and direction by the most senior levels of the Provincial government to ensure TLE matters are resolved as an urgent priority; 2. Providing additional financial resources to the Treaty 8 First Nations to complete the First Nations/BC/Canada TLE Land Agreements due to the drawn out TLE process; 3. Resolving interim and long-term protection measures for TLE parcels by February 29 2020 for all First Nations concerned; 4. Conclusion of ongoing stakeholder engagement processes by February 14, 2020; and 5. Conclusion of any other internal Provincial land review processes on an immediate basis. We, the undersigned Community Leaders, are committed to doing everything within our power to resolve the TLE claims. We call upon the Province to do the same. Settling the Treaty Land Entitlements is in all of our interests. In addition to delivering justice to the claimant First Nations, settlement of these claims would result in important benefits for the entire Peace region. Page 2 of 3 January 23, 2020 NB-1 Lastly, the TLE settlements would create significant economic benefits, enhance the certainty of future land use for all of our communities, and finally set the stage for us to embark on a collective effort to update the Fort St. John Land and Resource Management Plan.

Hydro with regard to the proposed Site C dam on the Peace River. The Peace River valley is a significant historical, cultural and natural feature in northern B.C. This significance is recognized by the B.C. government’s designation of the Peace as a Heritage River. The river is heavily used by local residents for boating, swimming, rafting and fishing. The Peace River has significant cultural and historic values associated with First Nations settlement. The upper reaches of river have already been developed for hydro power. The WAC Bennett and Peace Canyon hydro-electric dams produce 31 per cent of British Columbia's hydro-electric power. A third dam, called Site C, is now proposed for the Peace River downstream from the confluence with the Moberly River, near the city of Fort St. John. B.C. Hydro is seeking federal and provincial approval to construct Site C and create a third reservoir on the river. This would destroy virtually all of the historic Peace River that remains within B.C. The purpose of the EIS is to assess the significance of the impacts of the Site C dam and determine whether or not they can be mitigated or offset.

    B.C. Today – Daily Report June 17, 2019 Quotation of the day “We need John Horgan and his government to step up and take action — any action — to help our small, forest-dependent towns get through this challenging time.” Liberal MLA Dan Davies (Peace River North) says the NDP government has not done enough ​ ​ to support forestry-dependent communities, as mills around the province continue to close and curtail production. Today in B.C. The House is adjourned for the summer recess. Committees this week The Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services is conducting public ​ consultations on Budget 2020 this week, starting with a session in Prince Rupert at the Highliner ​ Plaza Hotel and Conference Centre at 2 p.m. today. Committee members will also visit Kitimat, Prince George, Fort St. John and Quesnel before heading back to the Lower Mainland for a consultation in Abbotsford on Thursday. The consultation period ends on June 28. Mill closures and curtailments lead to political jousting As announcements of mill closures and curtailments pile up, the opposition B.C. Liberals are calling on the NDP government to slash stumpage rates and reduce the carbon tax for the province’s forestry sector. “To date, the John Horgan government has thrown up its hands and told forest-dependent ​ ​ communities there is nothing it can do to help them,” Liberal Leader Andrew Wilkinson said in ​ ​ a statement, released in tandem with a letter addressed to the premier last week. “This is failed leadership on the part of John Horgan — plain and simple.

As you know, the Urban Development Institute (UDI) and its members are well positioned to assist your government in this endeavor. However, we need the province and local governments to take substantive and immediate steps to enable our members to continue to employ British Columbians and build homes and office space. These steps include: • A one-year suspension of any new requirements, fees, charges, taxes and amenity contributions that add costs/delays to projects; • Applying the same property tax reductions and deadline extensions that were announced for commercial land owners to Class 1 residential building sites that are exempt from the Speculation and Vacancy Tax (SVT) and Purpose Built Rental (PBR) buildings; • Applying the SVT exemptions for sites under development and PBR to the Additional School Tax for the next year; • Remove development land and unsold inventory from the Empty Homes Tax for the next year; • Permanently extending the timelines set out in Policy Statements 5 and 6 issued by the Superintendent of Real Estate (pursuant to the Real Estate Development Marketing Act (REDMA)) to allow for an early marketing period of 12 months and a 15-month period to obtain a building permit and satisfactory financing commitment before buyers can unilaterally terminate their pre-sale contracts.

  • Provincial Species at Risk Legislation
    To: The Hon. George Heyman, Minister of Environment and Climate Change Strategy cc. The Hon. John Horgan, Premier; The Hon. Doug Donaldson, Minister of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development; and the Hon. Scott Fraser, Minister of Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation Dear Minister Heyman, Thank you for inviting input on provincial species at risk legislation. The undersigned environmental and animal welfare organizations have worked together closely to submit joint principles that would inform a meaningful law to safeguard the web of life as we know it in British Columbia, and give our species at risk a path to recovery. Science-based, expedited protection for species and ecosystems was never more urgent than it is today, in light of ongoing habitat destruction and the accelerating impacts of global warming. While much of the existing ecological damage can be attributed to the failure of previous governments to take steps to protect our threatened biodiversity, it is now your government’s responsibility to expedite new conservation steps before the loss of our biodiversity becomes unmanageable. BC’s new species at risk legislation must protect and recover at-risk species and rare plant communities first by protecting functional habitat and the ecological processes upon which the relevant species rely, and second by restoring habitat that has been degraded so that the necessary ecological processes can be recovered. Further details about what is needed in BC’s new law are set out in the attached document. Species at risk legislation alone will not, however, be enough to protect BC’s species and ecosystems in the long-term.

  • April 9, 2020 the Honourable John Horgan, Premier Government Of
    April 9, 2020 The Honourable John Horgan, Premier Government of British Columbia PO Box 9041, Stn Prov Govt Victoria BC V8W 9E1 Dear Premier Horgan, The Registered Massage Therapists’ Association of British Columbia (RMTBC) is concerned that the Provincial Government's response to the COVID 19 crisis is limited in its ability to address the devastating economic impact of this emergency on Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) in BC. There are over 5,000 RMTs in British Columbia, the overwhelming majority of whom are self-employed. The recent containment efforts announced by the Ministry of Health, the Provincial Medical Health Officer and the College of Massage Therapists of BC which the RMTBC supports as an essential step in ensuring public health, are also resulting in extreme financial hardship to our self-employed members, many of whom do not have access to Employment Insurance. Many of our members are ineligible for the initiatives announced by the Federal Government to support practitioners and clinic owners in BC. The RMTBC urges the government to consider initiatives that will assist RMTs and all self- employed individuals and small business owners in BC in their ability to provide for their families, pay their rent or mortgages and contribute to the tax base. British Columbia’s RMTs play a vital role in providing health services to British Columbians and deliver important services that assist in rehabilitation, improvement in the quality of life for the elderly and alleviate the physical symptoms of depression, stress and anxiety. RMTs help people relieve their musculoskeletal pain in order that they can remain at work longer and continue to enjoy the activities of daily living.
