<Redrew@Shaw.Ca> To: From: "Ralph Drew" <[email protected]> To: "Deb Walters" <[email protected]> Cc: "COUNCIL (Inc Mayor & CAO)" <COUNCIL.Inc.Mayor&[email protected]> Subject: Admiralty Point Federal Lands -- Belcarra Regional Park Mayor Walters & Pitt Meadows Council, I write seeking the assistance of Pitt Meadows Council regarding conveyance of the Admiralty Point Federal Lands to Metro Vancouver such that this key component of Belcarra Regional Park is preserved for the on-going use and enjoyment by the citizens of both the North East Sector and Metro Vancouver. Belcarra Council passed a resolution on March 11th and has sent a letter to Environment Canada Minister Peter Kent (Minister responsible for Parks Canada) --- see attached letter --- and has written to all of the MV Councils requesting their support on transfer of the Admiralty Point Federal Lands to MV for park-use by future generations of Metro Vancouver’s citizens --- letter also attached. We have thus far received media coverage by both the Tri-City News and the Vancouver Sun --- see attached newspaper articles. To assist you in addressing this subject, I have prepared the following briefing points for you regarding the 185-acre (75-ha) Admiralty Point Federal Lands: 1. The Admiralty Point Military Reserve was established in 1860 by Colonel R.C. Moody, RE, and today is located within the City of Port Moody’s boundaries; 2. For the past 100 years these federal lands have been used for park purposes by the citizens of Metro Vancouver (MV); 3. In 1972 the 99-year federal lease was assigned to the Greater Vancouver Regional District, and for the last 41 years the Admiralty Point Federal Lands have been under the stewardship of the GVRD (MV) as part of Belcarra Regional Park; 4. The 99-year lease for the Admiralty Point Federal Lands expired in April 2011, and the lease to MV has been renewed on a year-to-year basis for the past two years; 5. MV staff prepared a report (attached) regarding the importance of the Admiralty Point lands to the Northeast Sector’s Belcarra Regional Park, and that report went before the MV Environment & Parks Committee on Thursday, April 12th, and will go before the MV Board of Directors on Friday, April 26th; 6. It is exceedingly important that other MV Councils also pass the resolution and write to the Federal Government (Minister Peter Kent, Environment Canada) to underscore the importance of preserving the Admiralty Point Federal Lands for park-use by future generations of Metro Vancouver’s citizens; 7. The wording of Belcarra’s resolution is: - 50 - “WHEREAS the 99-year lease for the Admiralty Point Federal Lands expired in 2011, and these lands are surplus to the needs of Parks Canada; AND WHEREAS the Admiralty Point Federal Lands comprise a key component of Belcarra Regional Park which is the ‘Stanley Park’ of Metro Vancouver’s Northeast Sector; THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Federal Government be requested to transfer the Admiralty Point Federal Lands in fee simple to Metro Vancouver, or lease the lands in perpetuity, to ensure the preservation of these lands for park-use by future generations of Metro Vancouver’s citizens.” Regards, Ralph Ralph Drew, Mayor Village of Belcarra 4084 Bedwell Bay Road Belcarra, BC V3H 4P8 Website: www.belcarra.ca<http://www.belcarra.ca/> Email: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Home: (604) 937-0143 Office: (604) 937-4100 Cell: (778) 868-5378 Please consider the environment before printing this email.

The Honourable Peter Kent Minister of the Environment Les Terrasses de la Chaudière 10 Wellington Street, 28th Floor Gatineau, Quebec, K1A 0H3 Dear Minister Kent: Re: Admiralty Point Federal Lands — Preservation For Future Generations I write to bring to your attention a matter of great importance to the citizens of Metro Vancouver. The Admiralty Point Military Reserve was established in 1860 by Colonel R.C. Moody, RE, and for the past 100 years these federal lands have been used for park purposes by the citizens of this region. In 1969 the 99-year federal lease was assigned to the Greater Vancouver Regional District (Metro Vancouver), and for the last 44 years the Admiralty Point Federal Lands have been under the stewardship of Metro Vancouver as part of Belcarra Regional Park. The 99-year lease has now expired, and Belcarra Council is concerned about the preservation of the Admiralty Point Federal Lands for park-use by future generations of Metro Vancouver’s citizens. Accordingly, the following resolution was passed by Belcarra Council at its regularly scheduled meeting on March 11th, 2013: WHEREAS the 99-year lease for the Admiralty Point Federal Lands expired in 2011, and these lands are surplus to the needs of Parks Canada; AND WHEREAS the Admiralty Point Federal Lands comprise a key component of Belcarra Regional Park which is the “Stanley Park” of Metro Vancouver’s Northeast Sector; THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Federal Government be requested to transfer the Admiralty Point Federal Lands in fee simple to Metro Vancouver, or lease the lands in perpetuity, to ensure the preservation of these lands for park-use by future generations of Metro Vancouver’s citizens. Your attention to this important matter would be greatly appreciated by both Belcarra Council and the citizens of Metro Vancouver. Sincerely, Ralph Drew, Mayor Village of Belcarra cc: Hon.

The federal government, which owns the land, has dubbed the 75-hectare parcel at the junction of Indian Arm, Port Moody Arm and Burrard Inlet as “surplus park lands” after its lease with Metro Vancouver expired in 2011.

  • A Bowen Island Case Study
    DWELLING, TOURISM AND SUSTAINABILITY ON THE RURAL- URBAN FRINGE: A BOWEN ISLAND CASE STUDY by Donna Nona Pettipas BFA, University of Victoria, 1981 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF Master of Arts in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Resource Management and Environmental Studies) The University of British Columbia (Vancouver) January, 2010 © Donna Nona Pettipas, 2010 ABSTRACT The thesis examines the question of why people live in rural communities, what draws them to these communities and the significance of social sustainability. The focus is on the view of individual perspectives that could be obtained through the process of completed questionnaires and interviews. Results of the combined questionnaire and interviews were referenced to earlier studies and to government statistics. The community of Bowen Island served as the case study, a rural community with a historical and evolving relationship to Metro Vancouver, British Columbia. The research activity was designed to be one of information and knowledge gathering, rather than an issue-oriented approach. The approach taken is one of discovering patterns of shared values and the adaptive practices of islanders in their homes and community environs. Transcribed interview responses were grouped by enquiry type to facilitate comparison between participants across BI neighbourhoods, resulting in qualitatively rich personal narratives about home, habitat and community engagement. The community is physically engaged in a beautiful mountainous and marine environment, which is also a tourist destination. Fun is a quality of BI‘s community celebrations along with spirituality and a connection to nature, the backdrop to a privileged life-style; some with ‗plenty of dough‘ most somewhere in-between ranging to bohemian artists, sharing in the community dynamic.

  • Sergeant John Percy Hampton Bole
    Sergeant John Percy H. Bole – WW1 Veteran: Vimy Ridge, Lens, 2nd Passchendaele By Catherine Elson, Belcarra South, BC, November 17th, 2017. Shortly after I submitted an article for the April 2017 issue of the ‘Belcarra Barnacle’ on the ‘Battle of Vimy Ridge’, I received Percy Bole’s “full/complete” CEF (overseas) military file. Wading through this information and the official War Diaries of the ‘54th Battalion’, as well as, doing quite a bit of digging and fact checking, I decided to update my original article… April 9th, 2017, marked the 100th Anniversary of the ‘Battle of Vimy Ridge’, and it is worth noting that a long-time Belcarra resident was one of the 97,000 Canadians who fought in this pivotal battle of World War 1 (WW1). John “Percy” Hampton Bole, the son of Judge Wm. Norman Bole who named ‘Belcarra’, was well-known in his own right as the patriarch of the “Bole Estate”, a 143-acre property that stretched south along the shoreline from the Belcarra picnic grounds to the ‘Admiralty Point Military Reserve’ and across to Bedwell Bay. He was also one of 620,000 Canadian soldiers who served in WW1. Percy “joined-up” in January 1916 (before conscription) and spent almost three years overseas. In 1917, he spent 10 months on the front lines, in France and Belgium, and fought in three major battles that took place that year: the ‘Battle of Vimy Ridge’ (April), the ‘Battle of Lens’ (August), and the ‘2nd Battle of Passchendaele’ (November). J.P.H. Bole, 1925 (CVA Port P185) ‘Witley Camp’, Surrey, England, October 17th, 1916.
