CITY OF WILLIAMS LAKE COUNCIL REPORT
DATE OF REPORT: August 10, 2016 DATE & TYPE OF MEETING: August 16, 2016 Regular Council Meeting AUTHOR: William Wallace, Chief Financial Officer SUBJECT: TAX EXEMPTION – CARIBOO COMMUNITY CHURCH FILE: 2-24-6
SECTION 1: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this report is to recommend that Council grant a permissive tax exemption to the Cariboo Community Church commencing with the 2017 tax year. 2016 municipal taxes for the property at 35 Oliver Street were $5,808. The same type of exemption has been granted by the City of Williams Lake to similar parties in the same circumstances. Schedule D of the Williams Lake Permissive Tax Exemption Bylaw No 2238, 2015 would need to be amended by October 2016 to add this property.
SECTION 2: BACKGROUND The purpose of the Williams Lake Permissive Tax Exemption Bylaw No 2238, 2015 is to provide for taxation relief of certain properties owned or held by a not-for-profit organization including public worship bodies. Those properties are used principally for public purposes and are not operated for gain or profit. Under section 224 of the Community Charter, Council may exempt by Bylaw from municipal taxation, land, improvements or both.
SECTION 3: DISCUSSION The Cariboo Community Church holds the property by way of a ten year lease commencing January 1, 2016 and has an option to renew for a further 5 years. The property is owned by 1057582 B.C. Ltd. The Church is a not-for-profit organization, registered under the BC Societies Act and also as a charity with the Canada Revenue Agency, and is a public worship body. The property is being used solely for public purposes and is not being operated for gain or profit. Council’s policy is to exempt land and improvements in such circumstances.
Three similar exemptions already exist under the Bylaw in accordance with section 224(2)(g) of the Community Charter. Those involve properties held by the Gendun Drubpa Buddhist Centre, the Salvation Army and the Voice of Pentecost Church.
SECTION 4: DETAILED ANALYSIS a. Financial Considerations – Cost and Resource Allocations: N/A
b. Legislative Considerations (Applicable Policies and/or Bylaws): N/A
c. This project most closely supports the following ICSP Priority Areas: N/A

d. This project potentially conflicts with the following ICSP Priority Areas (also list mitigation measures) N/A

f. Social Considerations: N/A
g. Economic Considerations: N/A
SECTION 5: RECOMMENDATION That Council support the Cariboo Community Church’s request for a permissive tax exemption for the property located at 35 Oliver Street, legally described as Lot 1, District Lot 71, Cariboo District, Plan PGP42291, and Staff be directed to prepare an amendment to Williams Lake Permissive Tax Exemption Bylaw No 2238, 2015 to include this property’s land and improvements under Schedule D effective for 2017.
Respectfully submitted,

SECTION 1: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this report is to ratify the poll of Council conducted on August 3rd and 4th, 2016 to approve an encroachment agreement with Thomas and Ulrike Wittal permitting use of City property for a new roof canopy at the multi-tenant commercial building located at 28 Broadway Avenue North. The works are subject to a companion Development Permit No. 01-2016, approved by Council at its July 19th Regular Council Meeting.
SECTION 2: BACKGROUND At time of considering the Development Permit application, Council directed “staff to prepare an encroachment agreement for the replacement of canopy overhang and front façade encroachment on City road right of way, for consideration of approval.”
The applicant has prepared the attached agreement with terms in accord with Council policies:
• Requirement that the owner hold insurance on the canopy extension, in the amount of $5 million; • Registration of the agreement on title of the benefitting properties (Lot 7) so that future owners are familiar with the terms of the agreement.
A poll of Council was conducted on August 3rd and 4th, 2016, as the documents were not ready for the consideration of approval originally scheduled for the July 19th Regular Council Meeting, and the results are as follows:
Mayor Cobb Yes Councillor Bonnell Yes Councillor Nelson Yes Councillor Ryll Yes Councillor Smith Yes Councillor Walters Yes Councillor Zacharias Yes
SECTION 3: DISCUSSION The roof has been designed to permit pedestrian access and snow removal under the canopy. With the design as shown in the Development Permit, City staff expressed no reservations about the encroachment of city sidewalk, to extent of the proposed canopy.

SECTION 4: DETAILED ANALYSIS a. Financial Considerations – Cost and Resource Allocations: N/A
b. Legislative Considerations (Applicable Policies and/or Bylaws): Council is empowered to permit an encroachment on city property by Section 35 (11) of the Community Charter.
The City has a standard encroachment agreement that is to be registered on title by the proponent. The agreement, pursuant to Section 218 of the Land Title Act includes requirements to protect the City’s interests in terms of right to access and limitation on liability. Insurance is to be held by the proponent that includes the City as an additional insured party.
c. This project most closely supports the following ICSP Priority Areas: N/A
d. This project potentially conflicts with the following ICSP Priority Areas (also list mitigation measures) N/A
e. Environmental Considerations: N/A
f. Social Considerations: N/A
g. Economic Considerations: Nominal.

Peggy was born and raised in Vancouver, where she married Harry Buchanan in 1949. In 1957 they moved to Williams Lake with their 4 children where they greatly contributed to building the community where they would live their lives. Throughout the years Peggy volunteered on many, many committees and boards - the Williams Lake Public Library, the United Church, Boy Scouts, Figure Skating Club and Minor Hockey, to name just a few. She started 'Crackpots' ceramics with her dear friend Elsie Sharun, and for many years held classes in her basement, where it was more about friendships than about clay. In recent years Peggy enjoyed volunteering at the Senior's Activity Centre. She spent much of her time taking care of family and friends - her joy in life was caring for others.
Harry was active in all sports, but lacrosse was his passion. “Wee ‘arry” played professional lacrosse from 1944-55 and was instrumental in two Mann Cup Canadian championship victories by the Vancouver Burrards. In 1949, Harry received the Maitland trophy as the league’s most valuable player. Harry was inducted into the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame (www.lacrosse.ca) in 1976 and was further honoured by the Burrards in 1996 as they retired his #14 jersey. His sons carried on this tradition and wore #14 throughout their hockey careers. Harry married Peggy May in April 1949 and they had four children. His work with BC Equipment saw the family transfer to Williams Lake in 1957. It was an adjustment for everyone moving from the big city to a village complete with dirt roads and wooden sidewalks. During the first years in Williams Lake he became active in the men’s soccer league and in later years coached minor soccer. With his sons, Harry also became a member of the Williams Lake Golf Club at what is now Boitanio Park. He assisted in promoting the junior golf program and he himself enjoyed all the holes — one to 19. Harry and his friends Dick Brookbank and Al Montford came together and started the Williams Lake Minor Hockey Association in 1958-59. He went on to coach all levels of minor hockey and in 1988 he received an honourary lifetime membership to WLMHA.

Page 49 of 74 b) Street Naming Application - "Buchanan" Harry Buchanan (Williams Lake Tribune, Sunday, 16 Mar 2003) Harry Allen Buchanan was born the 12th of 14 children in Vancouver November 21, 1926 and passed away March 16, 2003 in Williams Lake with his family by his side. During his youth Harry was active in all sports, but lacrosse was his passion. Harry played professional lacrosse from 1944-55 and was instrumental in two Mann Cup Canadian championship victories by the Vancouver Burrards. In 1949, Harry received the Maitland trophy as the league’s most valuable player.

Harry and his friends Dick Brookbank and Al Montford came together and started the Williams Lake Minor Hockey Association in 1958-59. He went on to coach all levels of minor hockey and in 1988 he received an honourary lifetime membership to WLMHA. In 1968 the Buchanans built their cottage at Big Lake which became a summer retreat for his children and grandchildren. When Harry became Grampa, he did it with full force. On any given summer evening, Gramps could be seen strolling down the hill with his lawnchair to catch a soccer game. He kept his winters busy at the arena, no longer coaching, but being his grandson’s biggest fan. Having family in Vancouver was no deterrent for such a devoted Grampa. Harry and Peggy made numerous trips a year to the Coast in the old Cadillac, always being there when needed by his children and grandchildren. Recently one of the greatest joys in Harry’s life was becoming a great-grandfather. It always managed to put a grin on his face and chuckle in his heart. Goodbye Gramps, we love you. Harry is survived by his wife Peggy, sons Doug and Don, daughters Gail (Don) Stanchfield and Jill Buchanan; five grandchildren, Regan (Kevin) Ernst, Ben Stanchfield, Eric (Megan) Simmons, Wade Simmons, and Jody Buchanan (Bill Logan); three great-grandchildren Emma, Brendan, and Allanah. He is also survived by his brother Elmer (Jean), sister Della, and father-in- law Ernie May. A memorial tea will be held at the Seniors Centre at 3 p.m. on Friday, March 28. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Williams Lake Minor Hockey Association or a charity of your choice.

Local governments host martial arts performances
Williams Lake, B.C. – Local governments in the Central Interior region of B.C. are hosting a series of Chinese martial arts performances between Aug. 18 and Aug. 22, 2016, in partnership with the Cultural Department of Henan Province, People’s Republic of China.
The performing group is comprised of 18 elite martial arts practitioners from the Shaolin Epo Martial Arts School of Dengfeng City, Henan Province, People’s Republic of China. The communities of 100 Mile House, Williams Lake and Prince George are hosting evening cultural performances. Barkerville Historic Town & Park is hosting an afternoon performance which coincides with their Mid-Autumn Moon Festival, a traditional Chinese celebration honouring Barkerville’s Chinese heritage.
During the performances, these high calibre performers will demonstrate various Shaolin Wushu martial arts techniques including pictographic animal boxing, knife and whip group boxing, variations of hard qigong (involving pikes and steel nails) and use of the 18 weapons developed by Shaolin monks over many decades.
The Cariboo Regional District (CRD); Cultural Department of Henan Province, People’s Republic of China; District of 100 Mile House; City of Williams Lake; District of Wells; City of Prince George; Regional District of Fraser-Fort George and Barkerville Historic Town and Park are sponsoring the performance series with the support of the Central Interior Regional Arts Council.
“The CRD is proud to be partnering with our municipal members in the Cariboo and our friends in the Regional District of Fraser-Fort George and the City of Prince George to host the Shaolin Martial Arts School performers from China. This upcoming martial arts performance series will be a great cultural opportunity for the Central Interior and further strengthen our relations with China by facilitating cross-cultural learning and exchange,” says Al Richmond, CRD Chair and Area G Director.
The CRD and its member municipalities have been taking an active role in recent years to build new partnerships and strengthen relationships with China. In June, the CRD hosted a group of business delegates from China in partnership with member municipalities. The Chinese delegation travelled the Cariboo region to learn about the local culture and heritage and explore potential business and investment opportunities.
This event series is also part of the ‘2015 – 2016 China-Canada Year of People-to-People and Cultural Exchanges’ initiative the Government of Canada and the People’s Republic of China launched in 2015.

Canadians an opportunity to enjoy outstanding artworks reflecting modern China’s artistry and cultural development without leaving home.
The Shaolin Epo Martial Arts School is world renowned for skillful and exciting performances and has won numerous national and international awards. The teachers and students from this school have toured more than 80 countries and delivered over 3,000 performances.
Shaolin Wushu, also known as Shaolin Kung Fu (or Shaolin Quan), refers to the style of martial arts first adopted more than 1,500 years ago by Zen Buddhist monks at the temple of Shaolin at Songshan (or Majestic Song Mountain) in Henan Province, central China. Shaolin Wushu was born from necessity as a way for the monks to protect their monastery and its extensive grounds from marauders at that time. It has now become the dominant school of kung fu, with an extensive repertoire of both barehanded and weapon styles of engagement.
Students at the Shaolin Epo Martial Arts School still practice a monastic life which involves a rigorous regime combining several hours a day of martial arts practice ("quan") with regular periods of religious study ("chan"), as well as the routine domestic and administrative chores of communal life.
