From: Cathy Peters
Importance: High
Dear Mayor Robin Smith and City Councillors, I am alerting every City Council in British Columbia about these 2 timely articles that came out in the news last Friday regarding sexual assault cases and missing persons cases. Human trafficking can be an integral part of sexual assault and sex crimes. A City Council is the “eyes and ears” of what is happening in communities. This is a very serious issue/crime that is growing fast, and there are simple things we can do to stop it. Prevention is my strategy and “Education is our greatest weapon”- (quote from Joy Smith of the Joy Smith Foundationto stop human traf?cking/sexual exploitation in Canada).
1. Robyn Doolittle did another thorough investigation piece. Please note it is Calgary Police and Ontario Police departments that are being proactive in addressing and re-addressingsexual assault cases called “Unfounded”. https://wwwtheglobeandmail.com/news/investigations/unfounded-3 7272—sexual-assault-cases—being-reviewed- 402-unfounded—cases-reopened-so-far/a11icle37245525/
2. Toronto Chief of Police admits to 4000 missing persons cases received a year. I believe that this is a strong indicationof human traf?cking/sexual exploitation that is being missed. We need to start “connecting the dots” with this “growth crime” of human sex trafficking. http2//www.cp24.com/mobile/news/saunders-orders—investigation—into-how—tps- missing-persons-reports-lhandles- 3713395
Please investigate suicide statistics. Human traf?cking can actually be the cause for the suicide.
The “Metoo” hashtag movement is huge and viral. Sexual assault and sexual crimes are on the increase (in contrast to other crimes).
Prominent politicians, movie stars, celebrities are now being charged for sexual assault; this is a tsunami building.
My concern in British Columbia is that human trafficking/sexual exploitation, youth and child exploitation is not being addressed or seen as a priority as it is in the rest of the country. Buyers of sex, traffickers, facilitators are acting with impunity here. Hence my work, advocacy to raise awareness with every City Council, MLA, MP and police agency in BC.
I am working with medical professionals, and they are seeing exploitation on shifts in the ER room (if they know human traf?cking indicators). Police are not making the connections and are not recognizing human trafficking when they bring individuals to the hospital (police need basic training on this issue).
Page 9 of 31 6.(a)
The more I speak, the more I leam. I believe this issue is of the most urgent nature since the last taboo, our children are now being targeted by a very hungry and growing sex industry.
I have included the 2 (informative) handouts given to ER doctors at a recent hospital presentation. Please share them with your RCMP, city police agencies, stakeholders staff/team/of?cers.
ASK: Please share this information email with your local police, educators, health practitioners, stakeholders. Encourage all stakeholdersto get training on this issue. Please give me feedback on what your Council is doing proactively to address this crime, including how many buyers of sex, traf?ckers, facilitators have been charged in your communities. Please write a letter of recommendationthat I present at your next LGA and then the UBCM (Whistler). 1can speak alone or bring in a panel of experts.
Sincerely, Mrs. Cathy Peters BC’s anti-humantraf?cking educator, speaker, advocate #302-150 W. 15"‘St., North Vancouver, BC V7M 0C4
Mission statement: A Modern Equal Society does not buy and sell women and children. My goal: to traf?ck-proof every community in BC and insure there is not another Robert Pickton situation.

Thank you for your letter dated November 22, 2017, from the Council of the District of Logan Lake, outlining the Council’s concerns regarding the broadband access service available to the residents of the District of Logan Lake and the area.
Access to broadband Internet access service is a shared responsibility that will only be achieved with the assistance of all stakeholders, including the private sector and the public sector. For its part, the Commission issued Telecom Regulatory Policy 2016-496 last December in which it determined that broadband Internet access service is now considered a basic telecommunications service for all Canadians. New ambitious targets were established by the Commission and, in support of those targets, the Commission announced a new broadband fund to assist the implementation of broadband lnternet access service in underserved regions of Canada.
Fixed broadband Internet access service, as noted in the decision, is expected to be available to 90% of Canadian businesses and households by the end of 2021, and the remaining 10% in the next 10 to 15 years.

The Commission issued Telecom Notice of Consultation 2017-112, to initiate the planning and implementation of the new broadband fund regime. The opportunity for new parties to provide comment in this proceeding has closed, but it is expected that the broadband fund, once operational, willassist Canadians in underserved regions of Canada in accessing broadband Internet access service.
Sincerely, //» Ian Scott

Thompson Watershed Flood and Debris Flow Disaster Mitigation Project Project Summary as at December 6, 2017
Project description The project willundertake a watershed-wide risk assessment of ?ood and land/debris ?ows covering the entire Thompson River watershed. The risk assessment will identify flood hazards; potential impacts; and community and infrastructure vulnerabilities as well as the overall ?ood risk pro?le for the area. The project willcompile existing information on any risk assessments undertaken in the past 15 years, and complete any missing information to have a consistent approach across the entire watershed of regional scale. Itwill also identify where more advanced flood mapping or mitigation planning is completed or undenrvay.
This project will bring together representatives of large cities, small municipalities as well as rural areas and First Nations, identifying common risks and opportunities to work together across an entire watershed. Itwillraise awareness of all risks in the watershed, enabling mitigation planning and action to address issues and hopefully prevent the magnitude of future emergencies.
This project is part of the greater National Disaster Mitigation Program which has four streams: Stream 1 Risk Assessment (this project); Stream 2 Flood Mapping; Stream 3 Mitigation Planning; Stream 4 Investments in Non-structural and Small Scale Structural Mitigation Projects.
Project Location — the entire Thompson watershed, inclusive of the North Thompson and South Thompson, to the confluence with the Fraser at Lytton. The project is administered out of Kamloops.
Who is Invited to be Involved —- Local governments (municipalities, regional districts) and First Nations within the entire Thompson River Watershed, from 100 MileHouse, Canim Lake and Clearwater in the north, to Enderby, Lumby and Splatsin in the south, Sicamous in the east, and west to Clinton, Spence’s Bridge, Lytton and Nlaka'pamux territory, as well as provincial and federal government agencies. Fraser Basin Council is the project lead and facilitator.
Proposed Process (draft, in brief) — communicate with all local governments and First Nations, convene a forum to initiate the project, strike a Thompson Watershed Disaster Mitigation Steering Committee, develop a terms of reference, identify existing information on risk assessments and flood mapping, issue a request for proposals, hire a qualified professional that reports back to the committee. Prepare and submit annual funding applications, to apply for the next stage of work in different geographic areas.
Project budget - $600 000
Project duration — 1 year, 4 months; completion March 2019

Re: Development Variance Permit 1-18 LotA, Plan 21811 DL1666, KDYD(1 Opal Drive)
BACKGROUND:
The District of Logan Lake has submitted a Development Variance Permit (DVP) to vary Zoning Bylaw 675,
— 2010, Section 25, P3 Zone Public and Cultural Facilities, sub-section 25.3.2 — MinimumSetback of Building and Structure from rear parcel line, from 0.81 metres to 0.59 metres.
The 3246m2subject property is located at 1 Opal Drive (Attachment ‘A’).The applicant is retro?tting the old ?rehall portion of the Municipal building to accommodate the relocation of the Wellness, Health, and Youth agency. In conjunction with the retro?t, the applicant proposes construction of an addition to the northern portion of the existing structure that willencroach into the allowable setback (Attachment ‘B’).
The current Zoning Bylaw setback is 3 metres. A Board of Variance setback variance from 3 metres to 0.81 metres was issued to the Districtin 1988, allowing for the extension of the ?rehall (Attachment ‘C’). DISCUSSION:
Zoning Bylaws typically regulate setbacks for a variety of reasons, including:
ensuring adequate separation between buildings for safety reasons; providing separation between buildings for outdoor use purposes; allowing access between buildings; or providing adequate space for circulation of air and allowingfor sun penetration;
The Districtof Logan Lake BuildingBylaw speci?es that where a building or structure is located greater than 30 cm from a minimum setback then a legal survey is not required. In this case, given the Districtproposes an addition very close to the property line, a legal survey was commissioned to determine the location of the proposed addition relative to the property line. As a result of the survey, it was determined the existing building was not constructed in the location according to the original 1988 Board of Variance setback relaxation of 81 cm (Attachment ‘D’),but was built 59 cm from the property line (Attachment ‘E’).As the Districtproposes extending the setback encroachment with the addition, the Districtis seeking a Development Variance Permit to legitimize the setback associated with the existing building and the new construction.
Administration supports this proposal based on the following:
o the proposed addition will be constructed with non—combustiblematerials and there will be no openings directlyfacing the adjacent property; 0 there is adequate space on the property as a whole to allowfor outdoor use, to allow for access to all sides of the building,and to provide for circulation of air and for sun penetration.
Additionally, it is common for development in a town core to be built to property line to density and take advantage of the land value. The building scale and appearance will not be out of character with the neighbourhood.
Page 25 of 31 (a)
Accordingly, Administration recommends circulating Notice of Intent to consider approving the Development Variance Permit request.
OPTIONS:
1. Proceed with the DVP public noti?cation and approval process. 2. Deny the requested variance and not proceed with the DVP public noti?cation and approval process.
RECOMMENDATION:
THAT Council authorize distribution of a Notice of Intent to consider issuance of a DVP for Lot A, Plan 21811 DL 1666, KDYD(1 Opal Drive); ANDTHAT subject to a hearing, consider issuance of a Development Variance Permit for Lot A, Plan 21811 DL 1666, KDYD(1 Opal Drive), to vary Zoning Bylaw 675, 2110, Section 25, P3
— Zone Publicand Cultural Facilities, sub-section 25.3.2 — Minimum Setback of Buildingand Structure from rear parcel line, from 0.81 metres to 0.59 metres, in accordance with Attachment ‘B’.
