As a reminder, members must follow the same tax rules as any other resident in Canada, unless all or part of their income is eligible for the tax exemption under section 87 of the Indian Act. Members also have access to the same benefits and credits as other Canadians as long as they file a tax return. If individuals don't file a tax return, they will not get certain benefits and credits. Besides providing information for those with income exempt under the Indian Act, the webpage also includes answers to specific COVID-19-related tax questions about exempt income. Sections of the page include: Getting benefits and credits Get help doing your tax return If your circumstances change If you receive a letter from the CRA Documents to confirm your details If you received COVID-19-related benefits (CERB, CRB, CRSB, CRCB or CESB) Personal Income Tax Service - Elders & Members on Income Assistance The Nation is continuing to work with PwC to assist Elders and members on Income Assistance to complete income tax returns.

The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date IB * zooi DE-6 (2/88) Abstract The Mount Meager volcanic complex hosts deposits from the youngest known explosive volcanic eruption in Canada (2360 yr. BP). These deposits reflect the consequences of erupting dacite magmas into a region of extreme topographic relief. Regions of this kind represent one of the most hazardous and, potentially, high risk natural environments on the planet. Mapping of the Pebble Creek Formation deposits has elucidated a unique distribution of hazardous events of varying intensity, timing, and frequency associated with the 2360 yr.

  • Garibaldi Provincial Park 2010 Olympic Venue
    1 Garibaldi Provincial Park 2010 Olympic Venue Garibaldi Provincial Park, located in the traditional territory of the Squamish people, forms much of the backdrop to Whistler/ Blackcomb, site of the downhill events of the 2010 Winter Games. Sitting in the heart of the Coast Mountains, the park takes its name from the towering 2,678 metre peak, Mount Garibaldi. Garibaldi Park is known for its pristine beauty and spectacular natural features. Just 70 km north of Vancouver, the park offers over 90 km of established hiking trails, and is a favourite year-round destination for outdoor enthusiasts. Interesting Garibaldi Park Facts • The southern portion of Garibaldi Park is home to the Garibaldi Volcano, part of the Garibaldi Volcanic Belt and made up of Mount Garibaldi, Atwell Peak, and Dalton Dome. This stratavolcano, so named because of its conelike layers of hardened lava, rock and volcanic ash, last erupted 10,000 to 13,000 years ago under glacial ice. It is this event that is responsible for forming some of the fascinating geological features in the park, such as Opal Cone, the Table and Black Tusk. • The “Barrier” is a natural rock formation created by the volcanic explosion of Mount Price thousands of years ago; the lava created a natural dam for the melt streams from nearby glaciers. As a result Garibaldi Lake formed. The lake reaches depths of up to 300 metres in places and is rich in silt (or ‘rock flour’), which gives the lake its characteristic milky blue colour. www.bcparks.ca 2 Garibaldi Provincial Park 2010 Olympic Venue History In 1860, while surveying Howe Sound on board the Royal Navy ship H.M.S.

  • Community Risk Assessment
    COMMUNITY RISK ASSESSMENT Squamish-Lillooet Regional District Abstract This Community Risk Assessment is a component of the SLRD Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan. A Community Risk Assessment is the foundation for any local authority emergency management program. It informs risk reduction strategies, emergency response and recovery plans, and other elements of the SLRD emergency program. Evaluating risks is a requirement mandated by the Local Authority Emergency Management Regulation. Section 2(1) of this regulation requires local authorities to prepare emergency plans that reflects their assessment of the relative risk of occurrence, and the potential impact, of emergencies or disasters on people and property. SLRD Emergency Program [email protected] Version: 1.0 Published: January, 2021 SLRD Community Risk Assessment SLRD Emergency Management Program Executive Summary This Community Risk Assessment (CRA) is a component of the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District (SLRD) Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan and presents a survey and analysis of known hazards, risks and related community vulnerabilities in the SLRD. The purpose of a CRA is to: • Consider all known hazards that may trigger a risk event and impact communities of the SLRD; • Identify what would trigger a risk event to occur; and • Determine what the potential impact would be if the risk event did occur. The results of the CRA inform risk reduction strategies, emergency response and recovery plans, and other elements of the SLRD emergency program. Evaluating risks is a requirement mandated by the Local Authority Emergency Management Regulation. Section 2(1) of this regulation requires local authorities to prepare emergency plans that reflect their assessment of the relative risk of occurrence, and the potential impact, of emergencies or disasters on people and property.

Winding trails lead up from either campground and pass through lush alpine meadows full of wildflowers on route to the steep, barren ascent of the prominent ridgeline. Once on top, the views of Garibaldi Lake are sweep- ing, and the water takes on a rich turquoise hue in the brilliant summer sun.
