    NEWS RELEASE For Immediate Release Ministry of Citizens' Services 2021CITZ0046-001542 Aug. 5, 2021 Faster internet for Denman and Hornby islands VICTORIA ʹFaster, more reliable internet is coming to people on Denman and Hornby islands as the Connecting British Columbia program continues its work to bring world-class connectivity to rural communities on the coast. ͞We are moving toward a future where people in communities up and down the coast have the same level of internet services being offered in urban centres like Vancouver and Victoria,͟said Lisa Beare, Minister of Citizens͛Services. ͞Upgrading the networks on Hornby and Denman will boost the performance of internet access this year and prepare the islands to be connected to the high-performance Connected Coast network.͟ People on Denman and Hornby islands will soon be able to enjoy improved internet performance thanks to two projects supported by the Connecting British Columbia program. CityWest will receive up to $3.26 million from the program to upgrade services on Denman Island and up to $2.38 million for its work on Hornby Island, helping to ensure people in these communities have the internet access they need well into the future. ͞While in-person connections are at the heart of our home support, outreach and family support services, we rely on the internet to make this work possible,͟said Lori Nawrot, executive director, Hornby and Denman Community Health Care Society. ͞Our staff often work in isolation in empty or marginal pockets of internet and cellular reception. Improved service will make our jobs safer and expand our options for online training and certification, crucial for the recruitment of new staff.͟ More than 1,350 households will begin to see improvements through these projects, with reliable, high-speed internet coming with the Connected Coast project.

The Coastal Invasive Plant Committee (CIPC) was formed in 2005 to service Vancouver Island and surrounding coastal communities. The committee consists of public and private sector groups, First Nations, industry, utilities, and conservation groups that share a common interest in promoting coordination and cooperation to manage invasive plants in the region. The CIPC area covers approximately 60,000 km 2 including Vancouver Island, mainland coast and Gulf Islands; and consists of eight regional districts, 34 municipalities, 15 Gulf Islands, and 57 First Nations.

  • Community Climate Action Plan
    Our Kelowna as We Take Action Kelowna’s Community Climate Action Plan June 2018 kelowna.ca/imaginenext CITY OF KELOWNA Our Kelowna as We Take Action Letter from the Future May, 2040 I’m writing this to you as I watch the spring rains that have been pouring out of the sky for the last three days. This is pretty normal for this time of year, but I find myself thinking about how, 22 years ago when I was a kid, this kind of weather seemed so unusual. I remember waking up one May day in 2017 to find our house surrounded by water while my parents were trying to keep it out of our basement. The news that night said the flooding was a “once in a 200-year event.” These days, though, it seems like we’re getting these kinds of major weather events every few years. Our winters are shorter with less snow, and followed by incredibly wet springs with hotter, drier summers and more wildfires and pest problems than before. But thankfully, a lot of improvements have been made over the last 20 years and we’re better able to cope with them. One of the noticeable shifts is how we use our land. Much of Kelowna’s growth over the last 20 years has been concentrated in our five urban centres. This has created compact neighbourhoods with great mixes of residential, commercial and recreation space. People don’t have to travel long distances to go between the places where they live, work, shop and play so it’s a lot easier to get around by walking, biking or transit than it was when I was a kid.

  • Funding Guide RENEWABLE ENERGY for REMOTE COMMUNITIES PROGRAM Delivered in Remote Communities in British Columbia Under the Cleanbc Initiative
    Funding Guide RENEWABLE ENERGY FOR REMOTE COMMUNITIES PROGRAM Delivered in remote communities in British Columbia under the CleanBC initiative INTRODUCTION The purpose of this document is to provide funding guidelines for the Renewable Energy for Remote Communities program (RERC) as required by the Ministry of Energy, Mines, and Petroleum Resources (MEMPR) for delivery by the Fraser Basin Council (FBC) in remote communities in B.C, situated outside the Great Bear Rainforest and Haida Gwaii. PROGRAM OVERVIEW The Renewable Energy for Remote Communities program is a key part of the CleanBC Remote Community Energy Strategy (RCES), announced in the Province of Britsh Columbia’s (“B.C.”) CleanBC plan. CleanBC contains actions to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and to build the local and regional economies. By 2030, the strategy aims to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions from diesel electricity generation in remote communities by 80%. Fraser Basin Council is one of two delivery organizations that will coordinate and invest RERC funds with remote communities for the Province. Coast Funds is responsible for RERC funds investment in 11 First Nations communities within the Great Bear Rainforest and Haida Gwaii regions. The funds administered by Coast Funds were fully allocated in the first intake for RERC in 2019-20. There are no further Coast Funds intakes at this time. FBC is responsible for investing the RERC funds in renewable energy projects within 34 eligible remote communities. The funds administered by FBC were not fully allocated during the first intake in 2019-20. This Funding Guide is for the second FBC intake. PROGRAM GOALS The goal of the program is to facilitate the displacement of diesel electricity generation by: ▪ Constructing renewable electricity generation projects that decarbonize remote energy systems; and ▪ Enhancing social and economic resilience in remote communities that are diesel-dependent.
