EXECUTIVE SUMMARY/ SUMMARY OF CWPP RECOMMENDATIONS The Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) process was created in British Columbia (BC) as a response to the devastating 2003 wildfire in Kelowna. As an integral part of the Strategic Wildfire Prevention Initiative (SWPI), managed and funded through the Strategic Wildfire Prevention Working Group, CWPPs aim to develop strategic recommendations to assist in improving safety and to reduce the risk of damage to property from wildfires. This CWPP Update will provide the District of North Vancouver (DNV) with a framework that can be used to review and assess areas of identified moderate and high fire risk within the DNV. Additionally, the information contained in this report should help to guide the development of emergency plans, emergency response, evacuation plans, communication and education programs (including FireSmart), bylaw development in areas of fire risk, and the management of potentially hazardous forest lands adjacent to the community. Since the development of the last CWPP in 2007, the District of North Vancouver has implemented all the recommendations from the CWPP, with the exception of one (Recommendation 25). The most notable actions include implementation of the following1: • Establishment of a Wildfire Development Permit Area, that requires new buildings to comply with FireSmart, National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and District-developed standards for non- flammable building envelope materials (Recommendations 10 and 11); • Prescription development for approximately 72.4 ha and fuel treatment on approximately 57 ha of land surrounding the community (Recommendations 27-29); • Provision of specialized training to local fire department and DNV staff for Interface Fire Response (Recommendation 26); and • Development of a forest health strategy to address issues associated with dwarf mistletoe infected western hemlock (Recommendation 32). Wildfire management requires a multi-faceted approach for greatest efficacy and risk reduction outcomes. A total of 52 strategic recommendations are summarized in Table 1 below. In addition, these recommendations are included and more thoroughly discussed in their appropriate sections within the document. Ultimately, the recommendations within this plan should be considered a toolbox of options to help reduce the wildfire threat to the community. There is not one course of action or combination of actions that provides the answer to the challenge of wildfire risk in communities; the DNV must further prioritize based on resources, strengths, constraints, and availability of funding, regularly updating priorities and its course of action, as variables and circumstances change through time. 1 A full enumeration of recommendations from the 2007 CWPP can be found in Appendix L – Summary of 2007 Community Wildfire Protection Plan Recommendations.

    The University of Kansas Kansas Fire & Rescue Training Institute September 2005 Fire Chief Certification Exam Site Host Department Dear Chief, Thank you for hosting the certification test scheduled at your fire department in the near future. The Kansas Fire & Rescue Training Institute has to depend on the local fire department’s support for equipment and facilities in order to conduct National Certification Exams in communities throughout Kansas. By conducting these exams in local communities we avoid extensive travel being required of the fire fighters in order to participate. The trade-off of that process is that we have to rely on the local fire departments to provide the fire fighting equipment normally used in these exams. The core equipment required is the same equipment available on any apparatus meeting the NPFA 1901 Standard for Fire Service Pumping Apparatus. There are a few items that are not typically “on hand” at local fire departments. We ask that local fire departments make tentative arrangements for these items so that the items can be acquired with only a couple of days notice. This process is required in order to maintain confidentiality as required of us by accreditation criteria. A couple of working days prior to the test, you or your designated representative will be contacted by our office and notified of any unique equipment that will be needed for the exam. The Institute will be responsible for reasonable costs associated with these items as authorized by the Institute’s Certification Manager. Each test site will require a classroom with appropriate seating and tables to support the number of applicants taking the examination.

The instruction is certified for interagency use and is known as: Receiving and Distribution Manager, J-253 Certified at Level I This product is part of an established NWCG curriculum. It meets the COURSE DEVELOPMENT AND FORMAT STANDARDS- Fifth Edition, 2001 and has received a technical review and a professional edit. Description of the Performance Based System The NWCG Wildland and Prescribed Fire Qualifications System is a "performance-based" qualifica­ tions system. Inthis system, tbe primary criterion for qualification is individual perfonnartce as observed by an evaluator using approved standards. This system differs from previous wildland fire qualifications systems which have been "training based." Training based systems use tbe completionoftraining co'Urses or a passing score on an examinationas a primary criteria for qualification. A performance-based system has two advantages over a training based system: Qualification is based upon real performance, as measured on tbe job, versus perceived performance, as measured by an examination or classroom activities. Personnel who have learned skills from sources outside wildland fire suppression, such as agency specific training programs or training andwork in prescribed fire, structural fire, law enforcement, search and rescue, etc., may not be required to complete specific courses in order to qualifYin a wildfire position. 1.

  • Lynn Canyon Pay Parking Pilot Project - Council Endorsement
    AGENDA INFORMATION D Regular Meeting Date:--------- □ Other: Date:--------- Dept. Manager The District of North Vancouver REPORT TO COUNCIL January 11,. 2021 File: 11.5210.00/000.000 AUTHOR: Banafsheh Rahmani, PEng, Transportation Engineering SUBJECT: Lynn Canyon Pay Parking Pilot Project - Council Endorsement RECOMMENDATION: THAT the plan for the Lynn Canyon Park Pay Parking Pilot be endorsed by Council for implementation. REASON FOR REPORT: To seek Council endorsement for implementation of the Lynn Canyon Park Pay Parking Pilot Project. SUMMARY: A report to Committee on Lynn Canyon Pay Parking Pilot Project was submitted to Committee of the Whole (CoW) on December 01, 2020. In a December 14, 2020 workshop, CoW recommended the project to be endorsed. The following addresses the Committee's comments received during the December 14, 2020 workshop. The December 01, 2020 Report to Committee is attached as an Appendix to this Report to Council for reference. BACKGROUND: Lynn Canyon Park attracts over a million visitor each year. With growing popularity, the park's parking demand reaches 2,500 vehicles per day during peak summer periods. This volume has resulted in considerable strain not only on park trails, stairs, boardwalks, and supporting amenities, but also on surrounding neighbourhoods from spill-over parking demand. During several recent Council Workshops, including the On-Street Parking Management Strategy Workshop (November 04, 2019), the Parking Policy Workshop (June 22, 2020) and the most recent Lynn Canyon Pay Parking Pilot Workshop (December 14, 2020), the use of pay parking as a DNV Park demand management tool has been discussed and recommended for endorsement by DNV Council.
