The Musqueam people have lived in our present location for thousands of years. Our traditional territory once occupied much of what is now Vancouver and surrounding areas. The name Musqueam relates back to the flowering plant, məθkʷəy,̓ which grows in the Fraser River estuary. There is a story that has been passed on from generation to generation that explains how we became known as the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) – People of the məθkʷəy ̓ plant. Although a metropolitan city has developed in the heart of Musqueam territory, our community maintains strong cultural and traditional beliefs. Today our population flourishes and we are a strong community of over 1,300 members. To learn more about Musqueam, please visit www.musqueam.bc.ca.

MUSQUEAM ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP DEPARTMENT

YVR SEEKS INPUT ON ENVIRONMENTAL PLAN

On April 8th, the YVR and Musqueam Environment teams hosted a community session to gather input for the airport’s next 5-year Environmental Management Plan, which will start in 2020. The evening started with welcome remarks by Morgan Guerin, the Musqueam representative on the Airport’s Environmental Advisory Committee. YVR then outlined programs and initiatives which help to protect the environment and reduce the impact of the airport operations. Some examples of these initiatives include:

 installing charging stations to support electric vehicles;  construction of a geoexchange system to heat and cool the terminal and reduce emissions;  a Waste Wars competition to encourage restaurants to compost and recycle in an effort to divert waste from landfill;  the introduction of an artificial intelligence (AI) waste bin called ‘Oscar’ that helps passengers sort their waste;  retrofits of washroom fixtures to save water;  protecting salmon by monitoring water quality and including green infrastructure in the new long-term value parking lot, where bioswales are used between parking stall isles as natural run-off water filtration.  Working with tenants across Sea Island to help them reduce their environmental impact.

Musqueam community members provided input and ideas that YVR should consider for their new Environmental Management Plan to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, save potable water, reduce waste and protect ecosystem health. Ideas from the session included:

 better public transit links to the airport  using alternative energy sources for buildings  encouraging or giving incentives to tenants to meet the same environmental goals as YVR  managing storm water with green or low impact development  reducing packaging, Styrofoam and coffee cups and educating passengers as they move through the airport

Do you have other ideas? YVR would love to hear them! Community members are welcome to provide additional input by e-mailing [email protected] or calling (604) 276-6656 by June 30, 2019. More information on YVR’s environmental programs can be found at yvr.ca/environment

Safe Drinking Water Monitoring Program Charlene Campbell-Wood

10 Life-Changing Reasons to Drink More Water Becca Borawski Jenkins, University of Southern California, Managing Editor

Has it occurred to you today that you are thirsty? That thirst is your body calling for re-hydration. Nearly all of our systems do not function as well without the proper water intake. So, really, what does this mean? Why should we drink more water? 1. If you don’t drink water, you will die 2. Prevent cancer 3. Be less cranky. 4. Perform better 5. Lose weight 6. Have less joint pain 7. Flush out waste and bacteria 8. Prevent headaches 9. Make your skin glow 10. Feeds your body

Quick rules of thumb for drinking water: • Drink half your bodyweight in ounces of water • Carry a bottle everywhere with you as a reminder to keep drinking. • Eat raw fruits and vegetables – they are dense in water. • Drink water and other fluids until you urinate frequently and with light color.
