Adjournment '(^nruiE.i^ II; I \\ MAR 0 1 2019 !1 U3\^^'U~ VILLAGE OF KASLO GUIDELINES FOR DELEGATIONS APPEARING BEFORE COUNCIL Council, as an elected body, welcomes citizens who wish to appear before them to speak to issues of interest or concern. As a delegation, there are a few simple rules. If you wish to appear as a delegation before Council, you must notify Village Council in writing, stating your purpose and providing all written material, before noon on Wednesday prior to the monthly Committee of the Whole (COTW) meeting. COTW meetings are held on tlie first Tuesday of each month, Your request will be considered by the Chief Administrative Officer and referred to a subsequent regular or Special meeting, whichever the CAO considers most appropriate. A maximum of three delegations will be heard at any one meetmg. Please be patient. Staff will advise you of the meeting you will attend to make your presentation. Delegaticuis are given 10 minutes to make their presentation, The purpose of a delegation is to provide Council with additional information. From Council's perspective, you are appearing to provide factual information on a subject. Council will restrict dialogue with you to the form of questions designed to elicit information. Council will not often decide on an issue at thejime you make your presentation. Council will take the time to collect all mfomiation on the subject and make a decision based on a complete understanding of the issue. Council appreciates the time and effort that citizens take to prepare for ttieir delegate's presentation. In order to maximize tlie results of your delegation, it is helpful if you present both the problem and your suggested solution(s). Remember, Council makes the best decision it can, based on the in&t-mation before it at the time. Arriving as a delegation to simply state opposition to a bylaw, idea or proposal is not informative. \Vhereas, stating opposition and offering a proposed solution demonstrates to Council a willingness to work cooperatively and provides new informatiofl, both of which may assist your case. /]^&ffib^ &>teuAMy \\(^ <Q\ , zoi y Signature of Delegation appearing before Council Date Priut Name H, ATTH & (A) •t^ 2.0 (.'JS^Subi ect matter ^n^'.A^LL -T^.LD U/3 61 <£ <^O^S Ao o^>7.^' --/ To Whom it may concern, Kaslo Baseball Association would like to request the opportunity to appear as a delegation before the Village of Kaslo Council at the soonest possible availability (March 12). We would like to inform the council about our non profit organization, as well as discuss upgrades we would like to facilitate at the Vimy Park Baseball Field and its facilities. Jo Davies and Matthew Brown would be in attendance to represent KBA, as well as KBA board members who are able to attend. Admin KBA Delegation Request Hello, I would like to submit this document as an addendum to my Delegation request. I apologize that we can not provide specific financial numbers at this time but I hope that if we do not have any budgetary requests at the moment in terms of matched funds for grants, etc... that presenting as a delegation would give the village an opportunity to earmark funds for the regular upkeep of the Vimy Park Baseball Field.

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.

    The 5th Annual West Kootenay Glacier Challenge Scotiabank MS Bike Tour Courtesy of: Nelson & District Chamber of Commerce 91 Baker Street Nelson B.C. Ph. 250 352 3433 [email protected] discovernelson.com Scotiabank MS Bike Tour August 20-21, 2016 The tour starts in New Denver… Slocan Valley… New Denver- Founded upon the discovery of silver in the mountains adjacent to Slocan Lake in 1891, prospectors from the United States came flooding up to the New Denver region in 1892 to stake their claims, and gather their riches. New Denver quickly grew to a population of 500 people with 50 buildings. In 1895 this growing community built government offices and supply houses for the Silvery Slocan Mines. “A Simple Curve” was filmed in and around the Slocan Valley and was debuted in 2005. The story is of a young man born to war resister parents. War Resisters- In 1976 as many as 14,000 Americans came to the Slocan Valley in an attempt to avoid the Vietnam War. About half of those who made the move were self-proclaimed war resisters, many of whom settled in the Kootenay Region. Nikkei Internment Memorial Centre This exclusive interpretive centre features the Japanese-Canadian internment history of New Denver during the Second World War. The camp is said to have held close to 1500 internees during the war. The memorial centre opened in 1994, which showcases several buildings including the community hall and three restored tar paper shacks with Japanese gardens.

  • 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.

  • Geofile 1997-02 Slocan Mining Camp and Area (082K03, 082F14)
    GeoFile 1997-02 Slocan Mining Camp and Area (082K03, 082F14) By: B.N. Church (P.Eng.) and L.D. Jones (P.Geo.), 1997 Originally created as a web article in 1997, this document was re-released, with slight modifications, as a GeoFile in 2019. Abstract The Slocan map area of southeastern British Columbia contains 271 documented mineral occurrences, including 125 in the Slocan City area and 123 in the Slocan Camp area. The area is within the Selkirk Mountains and includes the communities of New Denver, Silverton, and Slocan City on the shores of Slocan Lake (Figure 1). Figure 1: Mineral Occurrences of the Slocan Camp and Area (082K03, 082F14) BC Geological Survey Mining History The Slocan area is one of the oldest mining camps in the province which flourished after the turn of the century and has continued to produce intermittently ever since. The history in the West Kootenays dates back to the 1820s when the Bluebell deposit (082FNE043), near Riondel on Kootenay Lake was discovered. Active exploration began around 1865. In 1883, Thomas Hammil located the Lulu and Spring claims (082FNE148) at Ainsworth. In the late 1880’s, Jim Brennan, a prospector working west of Ainsworth, collected some high grade silver samples which sparked considerable interest in this new and virtually unexplored area. After initial interest at Sandon, prospectors extended their range of exploration to the south and west, discovering several deposits containing appreciable gold on Memphis Creek and locating the Dayton claim (082FNW173) in 1893 near Slocan City. During this period, the sustained mining activity throughout the Slocan area provided the incentive for the Canadian Pacific Railway to extend their line south and east from Nakusp to Kaslo and Cody in 1895, and connect Slocan City with the Nelson line in 1897.
