Crossroads Ballpark has been open for a few weeks now with Minor Ball practicing twice a week. Adult Slo-pitch is awaiting the green light for the resumption of adult sports. Tie Lake and Elk Valley Regional parks opened on May 1st. Larry Poch and Janette Auchterlonie have returned to Elk Valley Park for another season of maintenance. A student will maintain Tie Lake Park (and all other parks in Electoral Areas B, C and E). INVASIVE PLANT PROGRAM Invasive plant management plans (as required/requested in letters sent in April) have been trickling in and follow up warning letters for non-compliant sites (sites that have not responded with management plans) have been issued. Neighbourhood Invasive Plant Program applications have been received and the Weed Control Officer has started site visits/inspections.

The mosquito control Pesticide Use Notice has been received from the province as renewed for another five years and will be added to the RDEK’s Pesticide Management Plan. SOLID WASTE Koocanusa seasonal bins were placed on Friday, May 21st. Page 6 of 99 Page 2 of 2 Department Report File No: Ehh 650 053 Subject Protective Services Monthly Board Report Month June 2021 Columbia Valley Fire There has been an increase in Motor Vehicle Incidents within Kootenay National Park, some very serious. The incidents are resulting in traffic being backed up through Hwy 93/95. New recruit training is nearing completion, with good results from the candidates. We have three more requests from individuals in Fairmont showing interest in joining the department. Elk Valley South Country Fire Training remains mainly face to face, with some virtual training when it is suitable. Jaffray Fire Department has responded to a number of set fires at the Tie Lake Transfer Station. These fires are concerning due to the potential for injury to the public, injury to a firefighter, or the fire progressing into uncontrolled wildfire. Generally, incident numbers for our area continue to be low due to a variety of contributing factors: COVID-19 protocols, good travel conditions, limited back country recreation, and less than ideal burning conditions. Jaffray has one new recruit firefighter to report. Staffing levels remain a concern.

A major rain event on May 24 resulted in the accumulation of debris in the creek systems, prompting an Evacuation Alert for 229 addresses. The Alert remains in effect due to the reduced capacity in the debris traps. Freshet Current snowpack levels are slightly below normal, but could change depending on weather between now and early July. Sandbag supplies are staged and available across the region, with sandbag stations set up for preparedness purposes. COVID-19 Cases are declining across BC and over 65% of adults in BC have received their first dose of the vaccine. Anyone aged 12 and older may now register to receive a vaccine. BC has issued a new 4 Step Restart Plan - currently in Step 1 – and we are starting to see some of the restrictions being relaxed. Emergency Support Services (ESS) Program Delivery As we progress through the transition, existing ESS volunteers continue to sign on with the Canadian Red Cross (CRC) renewing their commitment to the ESS program. Additionally, we have a number new recruits registering to be ESS volunteers with the CRC. Recruitment drives are planned for the Fall. Emergency Management Training The EKEMP hosted an EMBC Finance and Claims Process review session on May 20, 2021 that was virtually attended by CFOs and finance staff from across the region. Evacuation Route Planning A project partners meeting was held on May 20, 2021 to discuss scope and deliverables for the Evacuation Route Planning project. The Request for Proposals will be issued at the end of May. FireSmart The RDEK Fire Smart program is led by the temporary Wildfire Resiliency Supervisor position. Staff have awarded two service contracts for Local Fire Smart Representative services and are actively re-engaging with communities.

  • Forbes / Lyells Climbing History and Information for the Icefall Brook GMC, 2004
    Forbes / Lyells Climbing History and Information for the Icefall Brook GMC, 2004 Note – all information is based on having a camp E of the headwaters of Icefall Brook at an elevation of 7100’ and with an UTM of 963476. Estimates of the mountain elevations vary according to different guidebooks. We will get accurate information at the GMC. Elevations I have used are estimates according to the data now present. Names given to the peaks are a combination of “real” names as per the Canadian National Geographic Names Board, given and traditional names used in guidebooks and journal articles. The Major Glaciers of the Area The cluster of peaks surrounding Mt Forbes, the highest point in Banff National Park and 7th highest mountain in the Canadian Rockies, is dominated by two significant glacier systems. The Mons Glacier is bounded on the W by the Continental Divide. This system drains entirely into the Glacier River after being joined by the W and N Forbes glaciers. The Lyell Icefield is 50 sq km in extent and on the W side drains into the tributaries of the Bush River system, including Icefall Brook. On the E side this system drains into the Glacier River system. A campsite below the toe of the SE Lyell glacier is the traditional and favored spot for climbing Mt Forbes or the Lyells. There are also smaller glacier systems to the S and E of Mt Forbes. Peaks to the East of the Icefall Brook GMC Ø Mt Forbes – (3612m/11,852’) UTM – 047452 FA – SW Ridge - 1902 (J Outram, JN Collie, HEM Stutfield, GM Weed, H Wooley, C Kaufman, H Kaufman) A long and demanding climb not often repeated.
