REPORT

1.0 INTRODUCTION

Burnaby's Environmental Sustainability Stra tegy (ESS) and Community Energy and Emi ssions Plan (CEEP) were approved by Counc il on 20 16 November 7th Wi th that report, Counci l also authorized staff to develop an implementation plan, which would " identify timelines, prioriti es, lead responsibility, recommended processes and/or approaches, and resources required". This re port responds to that commitment by outlining an approach to implementati on, pri oritizing among "Big Move" strategies, and identify ing three highest- pri ority poli cy areas for initial work to support these strategies. Further detail ed implementati on work pla nning to address each of the three pri ori ty areas and future poli cies will be advanced for Council ' s consideration in subsequent reports.

1.1 Background

The ESS is a plan fo r Burnaby's "green" future. It will help to de fin e how the city can evolve and bu il d on its strengths to become an even more vibrant, resili ent and sustainable community, integrated with healthy ecosystems. The CEEP was developed in support of the ES S, and is a plan with targets to reduce the community'S overall energy use and greenhouse gas (GHG) emi ssions, in order to address climate change, improve local air quality, save money, and improve livability and

-24- 4.A) To: Sustainable City AdvisOIY Commilfee From: Director Planning and Building Re: ESS and CEEP fmp/ementation Approach and Phase / Priorities 20/7 August 9 ...... Page 2 health. Together with the previously approved Economic and Social Sustainability Strategies, the ESS and CEEP define an integrated approach to achieve a healthy and sustainable city.

The overall vi sion gu iding the ESS and CEEP is for Burnaby to be "a global leader ill protectillg alld regelleratillg ecosystems, sllpportillg a healthy ami prosperous cOllllllullity ." This vision is supported by the ESS and CEEP goals and strategies.

The City has already made progress and demonstrated leadership in many aspects of sustainability contained in the ESS and CEEP, and thi s work will continue as a part of ongoing programs and initiatives.

In terms of focused ne w acti on, the ESS identifies 16 strategies as " Big Moves," defin ed as key strategies necessary to achieve one or more of the ten ESS goals. Twenty-five "Quick Starts" are also identified, which are acti ons designed to initiate progress toward the Big Moves, build momentum and demonstrate commitment to action. The CEEP also includes Big Moves and Quick Starts that are shared with the ESS. This ini tial level of prioritizati on provides the foundation for more detailed work planning as outlined in this report.

The CEEP also includes targets for reducing community greenhouse gases (GHGs): a City-Only target of 5% below 2010 levels by 2041 , and a City-Plus-Others target of 30% below 2010 levels by 204/1 . These ta rgets will be included in the updated City's Official Communi ty Plan, as req uired by the provincial Green Co mmunities Act.

1.2 Climate Action Charter

The City of Burnaby recently became a signatory of the provincial Climate Action Charter (CAC), a vo luntary agreement that commits the City to make "progress toward carbon neutrality" by reducing its corporate GHG emi ssions, measuring and reporting on corporate and community emi ss ions, and creating complete, compact and energy-efficient communities. This commitment further supports the ESS and CEEP direction fo r corporate leadership, one of the hi gh-priority Bi g Move strategies identified in Sectioll 2, and makes the City eli gibl e for funding to support reduci ng community and corporate emissions as described in Sectioll 3.5.2. The City's actions in 20 16 and 20 17 for reducing corporate and community emi ssions, in the areas outli ned in the CAC, are described in the Council Report dated 2017-06-12.

1.3 Purpose oflmplementation Approach

The ESS and CEEP are intended to set clear directi on as well as to provide flexibility to respond to changi ng circumstances and pri orities. The ESS and CEEP have both broad and long-term scope and elements, and will require significant coll aboration across departments and with external partners. Accordingly, implementation will be carried out th ro ugh an iterative, adaptive management

I These dual targets recogni ze the li mits of jurisdiction, and commit the City to the City-Only target (5% below 20 10 levels) in areas over whi ch it has direct control or significant influence, while also illustrating the potential reduction in GHGs that could be achieved with th e support of oth ers (City Plus Others target). It should be noted that the City Only target entai ls a substantial (- 20%) reduction in GHGs in year 204 1 compared to a scenario where no specific action is taken.

-25- 4.A) To: Sustainable City AdvisOlY Committee From: Director Planning and Building Re: ESS and CEEP Implementation Approach and Phase I Priorities 2017 August 9 ...... Page 3 approach, as outlined in Section 7 of the ESS Report. This report outlines a preliminary approach including initial priorities and proposed Phase I areas of policy development in support of these priorities. Future specific new initiatives, resource requirements and proposed work programs, will be advanced for Council consideration as they are developed.

2.0 IMPLEMENTATION APPROACH

This section outl ines the general approach proposed fo r implementation of the ESS and CEEP. It includes initial prioritization of "Big Moves", a summary of recent and ongoing policy initiatives, methods for evaluation and improvement, and general approaches for coll aboration.

2. t Prioritization of ESS Strategies and Actions

As outlined in Section 1.1 , the ESS and CEEP identify Big Moves and Quick Starts which serve as an initial level of prioritization. In order to focus efforts, additional prioritization is needed. The approach developed for this process emphasizes multiple benefits and synergies, including among the various ESS goals, between the ESS and CEEP, and with the Social Sustainability Strategy and Economic Development Strategy. This is consistent with Council's direction for integrated sustainabil ity and with the ESS Guiding Principles, as outlined in Section 5 of the ESS Report (see also Appendix A). As noted in Appelldix B, the City has also made progress in some areas already.

The prioritization matrix for the Big Moves and their respective Quick Stalts is shown in Appendix C. Accordingly, the following Big Moves were identified as the highest priority. See Appelldix D for the full text of the strategies and supporting actions.

I) Reduce community greenhouse gas (GHG) emIssIon rates, including 111 the areas of transportation, buildings, district energy and waste. Breathe ESS 3.1. o E.g. Implement the strategies and actions ofthe CEEP.

2) Improve resi li ence to climate change effects by assessing risks and seeking and acting on opportunities to protect the community and ecosystems from anticipated impacts. Breathe ESS3.2. o E.g. Develop a climate adaptation strategy.

3) Transiti on to more efficient (including zero-emission) ve hicles and more efficient use of vehicles. Move ESS 5.6. / CEEP C2.5 o E.g. Develop policy in support of electric vehicles / EV charging.

4) Meet updated energy performance bui lding code requirements for new buildings. Build ESS 6.1. / CEEP C3. t o E.g. Review of development applications for BC Building Code compliance in energy by a certified energy professional. (Note, th is may be combined with 6.2/C3.2.)

5) Improve building design construction to meet higher standards of environmental performance. Build ESS 6.2. / CEEP C3.2 o E.g. Develop policy for green and energy effiCient bUildings.

-26- 4.A) To: Sustainable City AdvisOlY Commiltee Prom: Direc/or Planning and Building Re: ESS and CEEP Imp/em en/a/ion Approach and Phase / Priori/ies 20/7 August 9 ...... Page 4

6) Demonstrate leadership in sustainability through City facility and operations management by reducing energy and G1-1G emissions, conserving water, red ucing and diverting waste and enhancing ecosystems. Manage ESS 10.3 / CEEP CS.1 o E.g. Develop corporate sustainability policy and programs.

Action in five of the priorities can be initiated in Phase I. The Strategy " Improve resilience to climate change effects by assessing ri sks and seeking and acting on opportunities to protect the community and ecosystems from anticipated impacts" is one that requires fu rther consideration. Although the City is already undertaking a number of actions that support climate change adaptation, in order to fully achieve the Strategy, additi onal work is necessary beyond what is achievable in Phase I.

2.2 Recent and Ongoing Initiatives

The ESS and CEEP were developed in recoglllllOn that the City has already taken acti on and leadership in a number of areas, and wi ll continue to do so as a part of ongoing programs and complementary initiatives. Some examples of past successes in environmental sustainability across the City are provided in the discussion paper produced at the start of the ESS process in 20 13, titled 2 Burnaby's Environmental Achievements • Additional recent initiatives are summarized in the Council Report dated 2016-06-1 2 regarding the Climate Action Charter. Furthermore, some progress has already been made on several Quick Starts since the ESS and CEEP were approved, as reported in Appelldix B. The City will continue to take action across the goals of the ESS and CEEP as opportunities ari se, and progress will be reported as outlined in thi s report.

2.3 Evaluation and Improvement

2.3.i ESSICEEP indicators

The ESS is committed to evaluation and improvement (Guid ing Principles # 17 to 19 / Appelldix A ). Indicators, as described in Section 7 of the approved ESS, support these principles and are commonly used for sustainability plan ning, because they prov ide feed back, all ow tracking of progress towa rd a goal, reporting on progress to staff, stakeholders and the publ ic, and provide a basis for making changes to policies or programs if needed. Indicators may entai l different levels of detai l and rigor. For the purpose of the ESS and CEEP, a simple and pragmatic approach is envisioned, for indicators that are relevant, representative, and based on readily available data, am ong other attributes. Further investigation into the use of indicators, as well as other options or opportuniti es for evaluating progress on the ESS and CEEP, will be undertaken as work on implementation progresses.

2.3.2 Reporting on implementation

In addition to reporting on indicators, ESS and CEEP implementation will track progress on specific actions and strategies. Overall results wi ll be communicated to Council and be made avai lable online to the public, in a reader-friendly and accessible format.

Avai lab le at: www.burnaby.ca/ess-input

-27- 4.A) To: Sustainable City AdvisOlY Commillee From: Director Planning and Building Re: ESS and CEEP Implementation Approach and Phase I Priorities 201 7 August 9 ...... Page 5

A simple annual report is proposed, in the form of a report to the Sustainable City Advisory Committee and Council, and would include an update on specific actions taken and progress made, as well as engagement and communication activities. These results would also be communicated to the public. Opportunities will be investigated to coordinate reporting on general ESS/CEEP implementation with repolting required for the Climate Action Charter as outlined in Section 1.2.

The opportunity to develop more comprehensive reports would also be explored, which may include more attention to graphic design for public interest, and would include more information about initiatives undertaken by community partners and citizens toward shared goals.

2.4 Collaboration, Engagement and Communication

The ESS and CEEP challenge all of us to take action - the City, our partner agencies, other levels of government, businesses, community organizations and individual citizens. The ESS Guiding Principles 13 through 16, under the headings of Collaboration and Engagement, commit to working together both internally and with external partners, and engaging the community (see Appendix A).

The ESS and CEEP both include strategies under the Manage goal (ESS 10.6 / CEEP C5.3) to develop and nurture community partnerships. Stakeholder engagement is envisioned as a means to continue to foster connections made during the ESS and CEEP development. Opportunities for stakeholder collaboration, engagement and communication during implementation are anticipated to include the following approaches:

• Existing regional committees coordinated by Metro Vancouver with City staff representation, focusing on topics including engineering, planning, environment and transportation; • Existing inter-agency committees with City staff representation, focusing on topics such as watershed management, storm water and invasive species; • Ongoing partnership with the Burnaby Board of Trade, such as workshops with their Environmental Sustainability Committee; • Presentations and workshops with students in relevant areas of study at Simon Fraser University and BC Institute of Technology, as well as exploring opportunities to support students engaged in relevant research and applied programs, as resources allow; • Dialogue and collaboration with community groups, such as Streamkeepers; and • Targeted communication to other key stakeholders focusing on specific areas and opportunities for partnership (e.g. Health Authority, BC Hydro, Fortis, Province, and the Urban Development Institute).

Public engagement is also an important factor for successful implementation of the ESS and CEEP, and one of the Big Move strategies under the Manage goal (ESS 10.2) commits to "explore innovative ways to engage the public on environmental issues". To begin, public engagement and communication wi ll take place through existing events. For example, during Environment Week 2017 citizens were invited to take the Green Pledge in support of ESS goals, as described in the Council report dated 2017 June 2. Other opportunities for public engagement will also be considered as new programs and policies are developed. This may include re-focusing current initiatives to better support and align with implementation of the ESS and CEEP and to take advantage of social media and other tools for effective public engagement and efficient use of City resources.

Co ll aboration, engagement and communication with Council and committees will be ongoing, with the Sustainable City Advisory Committee being a key committee in th is regard.

3.0 PHASE 1 POLICY DEVELOPMENT

This section provides more details on the three proposed areas of policy work in Phase I implementation of the ESS and CEEP. Five Big Moves are proposed to be addressed in three main areas of policy work. These proposed policy areas are:

• Green building policy for new development (addressing Bui ld ESS 6.1 / CEEP C3.1 , Build ESS 6.2 / CEEP C3 .2; and Breathe ESS 3. 1); • Electric vehicle policy (addressing Move ESS 5.6 / CEEP C2.5, and Breathe ESS 3. 1); • Corporate sustainability (addressing Manage ESS 10.3 / CEEP C5 .1 ).

3.1 Green Building Policy

Im proving the energy efficiency of buildings is an important objective since it can significantly affect the function, operating costs, health and comfort of buildings for many decades to come. Furthermore, just under half of Burnaby's greenhouse gas emissions come from buildings, representing an imp0l1ant area of focus to meet the City's climate targets in the CEEP, whi le sustainable building design can also respond to multiple goals of the ESS (e.g. water conservation, waste reduction), the SSS (e.g. health, comfort and affordabi li ty) and EDS (e.g. supporting growth of the green technology sector). The viability of energy efficient buildings has been we ll tested in Burnaby, with many individual examples and the pioneering work at the neighbourhood scale at UniverCity.

Recently the provincial government introduced the Energy Step Code (ESC), representing a framework that local governments can adopt to support building energy performance exceeding the minimum levels specified in the Building Code. It is intended to improve consistency across local governments and a "roadmap" for future Bui lding Code updates, toward a goal of net zero energy ready buildings by 2032. The ESC was developed with input from various stakeholders, including local government, uti liti es and the development industry, and its implementation is being supported by the Province and BC Hydro through resources and funding. An approach for implementation of the ESC will be further evaluated in support of green building policy for the City, as noted in the CEEP (Build C3. 1 and C3.2). Other aspects of green buildings, such as water conservation, ecosystem regeneration and waste reduction, would also be addressed in the policy.

Concurrent with the development of green bui lding poli cy applicable to private development, po li cy directi on will also be articulated for the City' S own buildings, as a means to demonstrate leadership, explore the business case for hi ghl y efficient buildings and support industry transformation. Such po li cy would subsequently be included within broader corporate sustainabi li ty policy that will address a range of opportunities, as described below and as shown conceptuall y in Figure J.

3.2 ElectJ'ic Vehicle Policy

The interest in and demand for electric vehicles is rapid ly increasing as technology costs are fa lling and vehicle range is improving. In addition to meeting consumer demand, supporting EV deployment

-29- 4.A) To: Sustainable City AdvisOlY Comm illee From: Director Planning and Building Re: ESS and CEEP Imp/ementalion Approach and Phase / Priorities 20/7 Al/gus/ 9 ...... Page 7 represents a signifi cant opportunity to reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emiss ions from vehicles. Emi ss ions from tra nsportati on account fo r 50% of Burnaby's total community GHG emissions today, and of that, 82% is from personal automobiles. The lack of charging infrastructu re is currently a key constraint to wider adoption of EVs, and local governments have a potentiall y important role to play in ensuring adequate supply of charging, such as within new developments and City fac ilit ies. Due to the strong relationshi p between EVs and buildings, with new development being the ideal time to install charging infrastructure, the proposed EV policy is proposed to be incorporated in the Green Buil ding Policy.

Providing charging at publi cly accessible City fac ilities would also support the broader EV network, therefore the EV poli cy would also prov ide guidance fo r provision of EV chargi ng at existing and future fac ilities fo r public and staff, and opportunities fo r inclusion of EVs in City fl eets. Such poli cy woul d fo rm part of broader corporate sustainability policy, as shown conceptuall y in Fig ure 1.

3.3 Corporate Sustainability Policy

Poli cy fo r Ci ty of Burnaby corporate sustainabi lity, i.e. focusing on the City's own operations, will address a range of objectives, including (as per the Big Move strategy ESS Manage 10.3) "reducing energy and GHG emissions, conserving water, reducing and diverting waste and enhancing ecosystems." The approach would build upon the City's existing programs and leadership in energy management, fac ilities development, and Green Team initiatives, to strengthen and develop strategic directi on that also supports the GHG comm itments of the Climate Action Charter as descri bed in Sectioll 1.2. As described in Sectiolls 3.1 and 3.2 above, poli cy for green buildings and EVs would be incorporated within the broader corporate policy, as shown conceptua ll y in Figure 1 below, whi ch will also address other key components of the City's assets, infrastructure and operations, to be further outlined in a subsequent Council Re port.

3.4 Process for Policy Development

Each of the three proposed Phase I policy areas will be the subj ect of a future repOli to Council that includes detai ls such as background, scope, process and timelines, and will identi fy needed resources and funding oppoltuni ties. The foll owing principles will help to guide development of these policies:

-30- 4.A) To: Sustainable Cify AdllisOlY Commillee From: Director Planning and BUilding Re: ESS and CEEP Implementation Approach and Phase I Priorities 2017 August 9 ...... Page 8

• Social Sustainability - e.g. addresses considerations such as affordability, accessibility, health and wellness. • Economic Sustainability - e.g. supports existing and future business and industry; supports business leadership in sustainability; addresses lifecycle costs and benefits. • Grounded in local context - considers issues such as local climate, existing po li cy framework, types of development, community assets and demographics. • Flexibility - allows for creativity and innovation; reduces barriers to innovation where fea sible; emphasizes performance-based rather than prescriptive approaches. • Deliver re,1I environmental benefits - incorporates fea sibl e and verifiable approaches. • Simple to administer and enforce - minimizes resources required to implement.

3.5 Funding Opportunities

Other levels of government and other organizations engaged in po licy and programs to support the environment have created programs and funding opportunities for local governments. Some general opportunities for external funding that may support these areas of work and related initiatives include those described below. Additi onal opportunities would continue to be sought as work progresses.

3.5.1 Utilities

Utilities such as BC Hydro and Fortis currently offer programs to assist municipalities with community and corporate energy management. The City of Burnaby has an existing partnership with BC Hydro, in the fonn of co-funding of a corporate energy manager position, a successful program that has assisted the City in making substantial improvements to building energy use and reducing costs of energy. BC Hydro offers similar types of funding of staff resources on the community energy management side (i.e. CEEP implementation) through their Sustainable Communities 3 Program , including funding for staff resources and.specific projects such as development of building energy policy.

3.5.2 Provincial Government

The provincial Climate Action Revenue Incentive Program (CARJP)4 provides grants to municipalities that have signed the Cl imate Action Charter, eq ual to 100% of the carbon tax paid, in support of efforts to reduce their community and corporate emissions.

This source, and/or other provincial contributi ons that may be identified in future, could be directed to support resources required for general CEEP implementation, for policy work as outlined in this report, and/or for specific capital projects to reduce the City's GHG emissions.

3.5.3 Federal Government I Federation o/Canadian Municipalities

The Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM)'s Climate Innovation ProgramS offers fund in g for a variety of initiatives including plans and studies for reducing emissions and adapting to climate

change, capital projects, planning and staff support. This funding could support all three of the policy areas described in this report, for example, approaches for "greening" of the City's vehicle fleet, feasibility ofleading energy efficiency approaches for a new City facility, and installation of publicly accessible EV charging at City facilities. Other examples are provided in Appendix E.

These opportunities will be further considered to support current and future initiatives for ESS and CEEP implementation, and staff will monitor other federal programs and funding opportunities that mayanse.

4.0 CONCLUSION

Council's recent approval of the ESS and CEEP establishes the foundation for taking action toward the ESS vision of Burnaby becoming "a global leader in protecting and regenerating ecosystems, supporting a healthy and prosperous community." These policies recognize the close relationship between environmental, social and economic sustainability and the multiple benefits that can be addressed in an integrated approach.

This vision for integrated sustainability is carried forward in the implementation approach proposed in this report. Strategies identified in the ESS and CEEP are prioritized according to their ability to support multiple ESS/CEEP goals, the Economic (EDS) and Social Sustainability Strategies (SSS), and address policy gaps, among other criteria.

In support of five high-priority Big Move Strategies, three key areas of policy development are proposed for Phase I: Green Buildings, Electric Vehicles and Corporate Sustainability. Details and work planning for each of these proposed policy areas will be advanced for Council's consideration in subsequent reports. Meanwhile, the City will continue to seek opportunities for action in SUppOlt of other goals, strategies and suggested actions of the ESS and CEEP through ongoing programs and initiatives. ~~r£f~ ~~~~~NG AND BUILDING

REPORT

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The Burnaby Healthier Community Partnership (HCP) is a partnership of the City of Burnaby, Burnaby School District 41 , Fraser Health and the Burnaby Division of Family Practice. It aims to promote a healthier community through co llaboration amongst those who shape the places where people li ve, work, learn and play. In accordance with the Partnership's Terms of Reference, this repOlt prov ides an update on the activities of the HCP over the last year (June 20 I 6-September 20 17).

2.0 HEALTHY COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS

The HCP initiative is rooted in the global healthy community movement which recogni zes that health is "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merel y the absence of disease or infirmity (World Health Organizati on, 20 I 0). It is recognized that many activities/initiatives that contribute to health are generated outside the formal health care system. Local governments and community agencies, through their service provision and community planning and development functions can play an important role in the promotion of population health and prevention of chronic disease.

-45- 4.B) To: Sustainable City Advis01Y Commillee From: Director Planning and Building Re: Update on the Burnaby Hea/thier Community Partnership/or 2016-/ 7 2017 August 25 ...... Page 2

Fraser Health is currently working to establish HCPs with each of the municipalities with in its service area. It initiall y approached the City of Burnaby in 20 II June to request the development of a Burnaby HCP. At the time, Council · recommended the City's potentia l in volvement in the partnership be explored through the Phase I implementation and workpl an process of the Burnaby Social Susta inability Strategy.

Since adoption of the Phase I implementation plan, representatives from the City worked with Fraser Health and the Burnaby School District to develop Term s of Reference for a Burnaby HCP. In 201 6, the Terms of Re fe rence were amended to include the Burnaby Division of Fa mil y Practice.

3.0 BURNABY HCP 2016-17

The HCP Steering Committee is responsible fo r the overall direction and activities of the HCP. The Steeri ng Committee is comprised of representati ves from the City o f Burnaby (Councillor Calendino), the Burnaby Board of Education (Trustee Balj inder Narang) and Fraser Health (Dr. Lisa l Mu , Med ical Health Officer fo r Burnaby and Sheila Finamore, Executive Di rector for Bu rn aby Hospital), and Dr. David icus Wong from the Burnaby Di vision of Family Practice, as we ll as support staff from each organizati on. The Steering Committee met fi ve times between June 20 16 to September 201 7 while ad hoc committees of the Partnership met on an as needed basis to plan and implement activiti es throughout the year.

The Burnaby HCP has continued to focus on two prioriti es: I) menta l health and wellness and 2) physical acti vity and li teracy. Over the last year the HCP focused on the fo ll owing ini tiati ves and acti vities in support of these priorities:

Information Sharing and Collaboration

A key initiati ve of the HCP is informati on sharing and collaborati on. During the year the HCP received presenta ti ons and collaborated on the fo ll owing topics:

Overdose Crisis

In April 201 6, the Province declared overdoses a pu bli c health emergency. The HCP received presentati ons on the crisis including in fo rmation on overdose related deaths and response. Fraser Health shared information on their p ublic awareness campaign and mUlti-pronged response including naloxone2 training and a suboxone treatment pilot project at Burnaby Hospital. In May, the School Di stri ct presented a Fentanyl Awareness forum at the request of the Di stri ct Parent Advisory Committee. I-ICP members helped to organi ze and promote the event and participated in it. In addition to drug awareness, the event focused on the protective factors of emotional well-being and supportive relati onships as well as stories of li ved experience. Over 60 people attended the event.

I In 2017 June, Dr. Aamir Bhannal replaced Dr. Mu as the new Medical Health Officer for Bum.by. 2Naloxone is a med icati on that can reverse the effects of an overdose fro m opioids (e.g. heroin , methadone, fe ntanyl, mo rphine). J Suboxone is a replacement drug for peopl e who use substances. It suppresses the deb ilitatin g symptoms of crav in gs and withdrawal, better enab ling a pe rson to engage in therapy, counse lling and support.

Local Actioll Team - Cltild 01/(1 Youtlt Melltal Healtlt alld Substallce Use Collabol'lltive

In October 2015, the Burnaby HCP wrote to the Burnaby Di vision of Family Practi ce to encourage th e Di vision to sponsor a Local Action Team (LA T) for the Provincially-sponsored Child and You/h Men/al Heal/h and Subs/ance Use Callabora/ive. The Coll aborati ve is a joint initiati ve of the Doctors of BC and the BC Ministry of Health that aims to increase the number of children, youth, and their families re ceiving timely access to integrated mental health and substance use services and supports.

A Burnaby Local Action Team of the Coll aborati ve was launched in November 201 5. The LAT membership includes representati ves from 26 mental health, substance use and social service agencies, youth and families with li ved experi ence, and famil y phys icians. The HCP was instrumental in helping to recruit agencies to the LAT. In 20 16-1 7, the HCP received regular updates on the LAT. HCP members also helped to organize and pro mote LAT in itiati ves includi ng "capacity cafe" events where pa rents and community members li sten to youth with li ved experi ence with mental health and substance use chall enges. The LAT is currently developing referral resources geared to youth, parents and service providers as well as a workshop for physicians on the topic of Eating Di so rders.

Demelltia-Frielldly Commullity Actioll Plall

Earl y in 201 6, the City received a $20,000 grant from the Union of BC Municipaliti es to develop a dementia-fri endly community action plan. As defin ed by the Alzheimer Society o f B.C., a dementia fri endly community is one that focuses on the inclusion of people living with dementia and on stigma reducti on. Dementia-friendly community initi ati ves can include educati on, awareness and training about dementia; social and recreati onal programming that is inclusive of peopl e li ving with dementia and their caregivers; and age- and dementia-friendly features in the community (e.g. such as clear signage and landmarks that help peopl e with cognitive impairment get around safely). HCP members participated on the working group established to help develop the plan and the Steering Comm ittee reviewed a draft version of it.

The draft plan will be presented to the Sustainable City Advisory Committee and forwarded to Council fo r endorsement in September 201 7.

Hep Initiatives and Activities

Movefor Healtlt Day

In 201 6, the Burnaby HCP recei ved a Fraser Health Healthy Community grant of $5 ,000 to implement health promotion activities. Funds fro m the grant were used to support three Move for Health Day (May 10,2017) activities focused on different segments of the populati on:

• Move for Health Day Walk, Workshops and Health Fair at Moscrop Secondary - Wellness was the focus of a day-l ong event at Moscrop Secondary on May 10. Students started their day with a walk in the neighbourhood. Students then partici pated in workshops focused on student mental and phys ical well-being and a Health Fair. Twelve community

and social service agencies participated in the Health Fair. The School District is considering replicating the event next yea r.

• Community Wellness Fair at Confederation Seniors Centre -About 60 participants attended a Move for Health community we ll ness fair at Confederation Seniors Centre. A wide range of organizations were represented at the Fair including various Fraser Health programs (e.g. Home Health, Healthy Heart Program, Community Outpatient Clinic), Voices of Burnaby Seniors, Alzheimer Society of B.C. Burnaby Parks, Recreation and Cu ltural Services and Burnaby Public Library. Participants valued the range of informati on avai lab le and representatives from organ izations appreciated the 0ppOitunity to network. The HCP intends to build on the Well ness Fair in the future.

• Talk and Walk with Your Doc - Confederation Seniors Centre - In the evening of May 10, community members were invited to attend an inspirational presentation on the mental and physical benefits of physical activity by Dr. Davidicus Wong. After the presentation, attendees participated in a "Walk with Your Doc" around Confederation track. Eleven local physicians attended the wa lk. The HCP intends to continue to promote the province-wide wa lk in future.

Commullicatiolls Strategy

In 2016-17, a subcommittee of the HCP was involved in developing a communications strategy. Funds received from the Burnaby Hospital Foundation were used to facilitate the strategy development process. The completed strategy provides direction for the HCP to:

• raise awareness of ways the people who live, work, learn and play in Burnaby can improve their physical and mental hea lth ; • raise awareness of community resources that support healthy livin g; and • encourage participation in healthy living activities, namely walking.

The HCr intends to use the strategy in its upcoming walking challenge, as di scussed be low.

4.0 THE YEAR AHEAD

The Burnaby HCP will continue to focus on the health prlontles of mental health and physical activity and literacy in 2017-18. In the year ahead, the HCP will focus on the following activities:

4.1 Walking Challenge

In 2017 March, Fraser Health announced an Active Communities grant opportunity to support increased physical activity in individuals and fam ilies. Guidelines for the grant noted that communities that work together to promote community health would be e li gib le for larger grants. As such , the Burnaby and New Westminster HCPs decided to make a joint application to build on successful walking initiatives underway in both cities and be eligible for a larger grant. Both cities recogni ze act ive transportation, including walking, as an affordable, healthy and environmentally-

The Wa lking Chall enge in each community will have three components:

• Community Component

Community members will be challenged to walk more for an eight-week period in the spring 2018. A different theme is proposed for each week. Walking will be encouraged both as a means of physical activitylieisu re, and transportation. Participants will track their steps each week. The walking challenge wi ll overlap with walking events in both c ities (e.g. Jane's Walk, Walk with Your Doc, Move for Health Day). The eight-week duration will allow for possible longer-term behaviour change as research indicates that new behaviours take approximately one month to become habits. As part of the challenge, participants will be encouraged to map and photograph favourite walking routes. This information cou ld be used to inform the City's initiative to develop walking maps aimed at engaging and supporting citizens in the pursuit of healthier, more active lifestyles.

• Schools Component

The schools component will be an eight-week school-based walking challenge and mapping exercise. Resources to increase teacher capacity to link the challenge to various areas of the curriculum wi ll be developed jointly by School Districts 40 and 4 1. The schools component wi ll coincide with the community challenge.

• Walking Festival (wrap-up event)

The festival wi ll be a celebration of the wa lking challenge and a kick-off for sustained walking in both cities. Participants wi ll be able to present their wa lking maps, hear featured speakers, learn about resources to support healthier lifestyles and connect with other community members interested in forming new walking groups.

The Active Communities grant wi ll be used to support the development of educational and promotional materi als for both the school and community components of the walking challenge and for resources and supplies for the Walking Festival (the communications strategy noted above will assist with these activities). A portion of the funds will be used to retain supporting resources to assist staff.

The timing of the wa lking chall enge will coincide with the work be ing done to update Burnaby's Transportation Plan. The goals of the walking challenge ali gn well with the draft themes gu iding the 4 Plan Update • As such, opportunities may arise for both initiatives to share education and awareness messaging around the benefits of active transportation.

'The draft th emes of the Burnaby Transportation Plan Update include Accessible - Access and Choice; Safe - Safe and Secure Mobility; Healthy - Active People in Livable Communities; Green - a Protected and Enhanced Environment; and Prosperous - a Thriving Sustainable Economy.

4.2 Five Year Strategic Action Plan

In 20 14, the HCP developed the fo llowing vision:

Burnaby embraces health and weI/ness. All Burnaby residents and communities will be supported lVith knowledge and opportunities that empower Ihem to improve their health and well-being.

To work towards this vision and set directions over the next five years, the HCP Steering Committee will engage in a strategic action planning exercise in the early fall 20 17. The strategic action plan will fac ilitate the work of the HCP and will support any grant applications the HCP pursues to achieve its goals.

5.0 CONCLUSION

Over the last year, representatives from the City, Fraser Health, Burnaby School District and the Burnaby Division of Family Practice have worked together on initiatives to promote mental and physical health in the community through its Healthier Community Partnership. In the year ahead, the Burnaby HCP wi ll continue to focus on the mutual benefits and linkages between good mental and physical health. A main acti vity of the Partnership will be to develop a community and school based wa lking challenge in the spring of20 18.

It is recommended that this report be received for the information of the Committee and Council.

REPORT

1.0 BACKGROUND

At its meeting of 2015 November 9, Council authorized staff to submit an application to the Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM) 20 16 Age-Friendly Community Planning and Project Grants Program to develop a Dementia-Friendly Community Action Pl an. In 2015 December, the City was advised that it received a grant of $20,000 to develop the plan. Over the course of 2016, the City engaged in a community consultation process to develop the community action

2.0 DEMENTIA AND DEMENTIA-FRIENDLY COMMUNITIES

Dementia is a term that refers to a number of conditions affecting the brain. Many di seases can cause dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia (due to strokes) and Lewy Body disease. As our population ages, the number of people affected by dementia wi ll continue to grow. In Canada, about 25 ,000 new cases of dementia are diagnosed each year. In 2016, the Alzheimer Society of Canada estimated there were 564,000 Canadians living with dementia. By 203 1, thi s number is projected to grow to 937,000 I.

In Burnaby, approximately 2,800 people are li ving with dementia. Most people with dementia (60 percent) li ve at home in the commlmity and want to remain engaged and cOlmected for as long as possible. In this regard, the development of a community-based dementia-friendly action plan is identified as an important initiative to reduce the stigma of dementia and assist those living with dementia and their caregivers to remain cOlmected to the community. Dementia-friendly community initiatives can include:

• dementia education, awareness and training to reduce stigma and assist City staff and community members in understanding dementia and how to respond and provide appropriate support to someone with dementia; • social and recreational programming that is inclusive of people with dementia and their caregivers; this type of programming helps those affected by dementia remain connected to the community, reducing the risk of social isolation; and • age - and dementia-friendly features in the built environment such as clear signage and landmarks that help people with cognitive impairment get around safely.

Development of a dementia-friendly action plan is consistent with the community inclusion, liveability and resi lience goals of the Bumaby Social Sustainability Strategy and ongoing age friendly actions. The project also contributes to the health and well-being objectives of the Burnaby Healthier Community Partnership.2 The Voices of Burnaby Seniors (VOBS) Community Planning Table has also identified dementia as a health concern of Burnaby seniors and has indicated its support for community-based ini tiatives to address dementia.

3.0 CONSULTATION PROCESS

A working group was established early in the process to develop the dementia-friendly community action plan. Members included:

2 The City, Burnaby School DistricI, Fraser Health and the Burnaby Division of Family Practice have established the Burnaby Hea lihier Community Partnership to coordinate aC lions on key issues affecling community health with Ihe goal of promoting health and wellbeing. The partnership is focu sing on the health priorities of mental wellness and physical activity and literacy.

-53- 4.C) To: Sustainable City AdvisOI), Commillee From: Director Planning and Building Re: Dementia-Friendly Community Action Plan 2017 IIlIglIsI25...... Page 3

• Burnaby seniors, including members of the Voices of Burnaby Seniors (VOBS) and an advocate for the Alzheimer Society of B.C. who is li ving with dementia; • City staff, including representatives from the Planning Department (social planning), Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services, Citizen Support Services, and the Burnaby Public Library - Home Library Services; • The Al zheimer Society of B.C. Provincial Coordinators; and • Fraser Health staff.

The working group reviewed research, helped plan and promote consultation aCllvltles, and identified possible initiatives for Burnaby. The working group developed the following timeline and activities for the consultation process:

2016 MARCH to APR. MAY to JUNE JULY to AUG. SEPT. to OCT. NOV. to DEC. Working Group Community Forum Planning Staff Focus Presentation of Focus Groups Group results to Social Activity Planning Walking (8) Planning and Promotion Interview Community Committee Forum Draft Action Plan

COllllllullity Foclls Groups - In June 2016, eight focus groups were held to engage people with dementia or caring for someone with dementia to share experiences and ideas for a dementia friendly Burnaby. Two sessions were held in each quadrant of the city. Forty-two people took part in the focus groups. Most were caregivers-spouses, friends and neighbours-seeking in formation and resources. Key recommendations from participants were to increase access to information about dementia, resources and services; increase opportuniti es and support for people with dementia to remain connected and active as long as possible; and increase support for caregivers.

Walkillg Illterview - In July 20 16, a working group member who is li ving with dementia led a group of Planning and Engineering staff on a walk from Bonsor Centre for 55+ to the intersection of Rumble Street and Royal Oak Avenue. The goal was to share his experiences and perspective about getting around in hi s neighbourhood. During the walk, participants considered two questions: What is already in place that works? What is needed or could be improved? Key learnings included greater understanding of the importance of clear signage at di fferent hei ghts and locations, and the ro le of public art and public realm features in creating navigational landmarks. Staff had a fo ll ow-up meeting to integrate learnings into design considerations for Burnaby's public realm street standards in Town Centres. Such consi derations include placement and design of way finding information (e.g. use of recognizable symbols and large text size, fon t and colour contrast in signage; installation of area maps showing locations and walking distances; inclusion of street location signage on bus shelters; options to stamp street names in sidewalk paving) and ways to retain connection to fan1i liar landmarks in new development.

-54- 4.C) To: Sustainable City Advisory Commillee From: Director Planning and Building Re: Dementia-Friendly Community Action Plan 201 7 August 25 ...... Page 4

City Staff Focus Groups - In September 2016, a focus group was held with front li ne City staff (Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services, Tax Department, Burnaby Public Library, Citizen Support Services, Burnaby Fire Department), Fraser Health staff, and a Burnaby RCMP member to share experiences and interactions with people with dementia. Recommendations included training about dementia, developing clear policies for serving people with dementia effectively, and providing support for staff who respond to people in difficult situations. Participants also suggested additional opportunities for periodic focus groups to maintain cross-departmental connections and support.

COllllllullity ForulII - The fina l project activity was a community forum held at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts in October 2016. Close to sixty people attended. The Alzheimer Society of B.C. shared information about their resources and programs and Fraser Health representatives explained dementia referral and care processes. A presentation of the results of the focus groups and walking interview was followed by faci litated round table discussions, and sharing and prioritization of ideas to include in the action plan. Participants valued the opportunity to build on what is already working in the City, recognizing that dementia-friendly community features can benefit people of all ages and abi liti es.

4.0 COMMUNITY ACTION PLAN

The draft community action plan, prepared for Council's endorsement, is attached to this report.

The following vision was developed for the community action plan:

The City of Burnaby is working lowards becoming a more demenlia-ji-iendly community where people living wilh dementia, their families and caregivers are included, connected and supported.

In developing the plan, it was recognized that the becoming a dementia-friendly community is an ongoing process that requires a partnership approach. The plan is organized around four key themes that emerged over the course of the project: People, Kllowledge al/{I Awarelless; Thillgs to Do; Your Surroulldillgs; and A dvocacy. Each theme contains recommendations and actions to address the recommendations. The plan also identifi es partners (e.g. Fraser Health, the Alzheimer Society of BC, community organizations, Voices of Burnaby Seniors) and their roles for each action.

Most recommendations include actions that can bui ld on initiatives already taking place. Ke y actions within each theme include the following:

People, Kllowledge alld Awarelless - as identified by participants in the process, a top priority is to increase awareness and understanding of dementia, resources and suppolls. Actions include sharing information about dementia and resources throughout the commllllity; providing training for staff on how to provide support and/or service to people with dementia and their caregivers; and promoting awareness of Burnaby as a dementia-friendly conununity.

-55- 4.C) To: Sustainable City AdvisOlY Committee From: Director Planning and Bllilding Re: Dementia-Friendly Community Action Plan 2017 Allgllst25 ...... Page 5

Thillgs 10 Do - participants identified the importance of continued parti cipation in community life fo r people with dementia and their caregivers. Actions include adapting and promoting activities that are inclusive of people with dementia and their caregivers; recognizing and addressing sti gma and issues related to dementia that may limit participation; and encouraging and supporting participation and engagement in community programs, processes and events by people with dementia and their caregivers.

YOUI' Surroulldillgs - the physical envi ronment impacts what people do, where they go, and the support they may need to go out in the community. Actions include providing clear signage and di spl ays fo r ori entation, navigation and acti vity; retaining or adding landmarks in the public realm to maintain or create di stinctive environments; providing quiet spaces in the publi c realm where people can sit and take a break from hi gh levels of activity; and continuing to make accessibility improvements to enhance physical and cognitive accessibility.

Advocacy - Participants shared many ideas fo r dementia-friendl y improvements in places and processes that are outside of City roles and responsibilities, particularly relating to healthcare and caregiver supports. Actions include advocating fo r home health care for people with dementia and respite services for caregivers and inspiring and encouraging businesses to adopt dementia fri endly features and practices.

5.0 IMPLEMENTATION

Whi le endorsed by the City, the pl an acknowledges that the City and community partners all have a ro le to play in becoming a more dementi a-fri endly community. Wi th regard to the City's role, implementation of the actions will need to al ign with the work program, priorities and resources of each department involved. It is anticipated that the implementati on of the acti ons will take place over a three year peri od. However, it is al so recognized that the action plan may evolve over time as our dementi a awareness grows and new opportunities arise.

If endorsed by Council, the next steps in implementing the plan would incl ude:

• engaging and accessing the resources, training and services of the Alzheimer Society of B.C. and Fraser Health to support development and implementation of recommendations; • convening the Dementia-Friendly working group on a regular basis to inform and report back on the development and implementati on of recommendations; • continued work on enhancing our street design standards and install ing features as part of standard City business and development processes; and • reporting to Council on the progress of the plan.

6.0 CONCLUSION

In 201 5 December the City received a Uni on of BC Municipalities 20 16 Age-Friendly Community Planning and Projects Grant to develop a dementi a-friendl y commuruty action plan. The grant was used to facilitate a public consultati on process to develop a Burnaby-specific

INTRODUCTION

The City of Burnaby is working towards becoming a more dementia- friendly community where people living with dementia, their families and caregivers are included, connected and supported. The word dementia is an umbrella term that refers to a number of diseases affecting the brain. Types of dementia include Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia (due to strokes) and Lewy body disease. People can also have mixed dementia, which is when they have more than one kind of dementia at a time (e.g. Alzheimer’s disease with Lewy body disease). Different dementias cause different physical changes in the brain which can result in changes in behaviour, personality and judgement. Symptoms of dementia may include memory loss, disorientation of time and place, and difficulties with abstract thinking and problem solving. Dementia is not a normal part of aging and is a progressive disease, which means the symptoms will gradually worsen as the disease progresses. Approximately 2,800 people in Burnaby are living with dementia. Over the next 20 years, this number is expected to double. About 60% of people living with dementia live well in the community for quite a long time. Many people living with dementia want to remain engaged and connected for as long as possible. However, the progression of the disease and the stigma associated with it can make participating in activities and staying involved more difficult for people with dementia and their caregivers. Cognitive impairment and dementia are consistently rated among the top three health concerns for older adults.

WHAT IS A DEMENTIA-FRIENDLY COMMUNITY? As defined by the Alzheimer Society of B.C., a dementia-friendly community is one that focuses on the inclusion of people living with dementia and on stigma reduction. Ideally, each community member is educated about dementia and recognizes that people living with City Departments dementia may experience the world differently. Community members that have the most foster understanding about dementia and encourage people living opportunity to reach community with dementia to sustain participation and connection within their members include: communities (see Appendix 1). • Parks, Recreation and Culture A dementia-friendly community action plan can help City staff and community members work toward a common vision on initiatives • Library to assist people affected by dementia. The intent is to incorporate • Citizen Support Services dementia-friendly actions into existing work programs and policies. • Emergency Dementia-friendly community initiatives can include: responders • Education and training to reduce stigma and assist City staff and • City hall front line staff community members in understanding how to respond and provide appropriate support to someone living with dementia. • Social and recreational programming that helps people sustain relationships and continue participating in activities, reducing risk of isolation. • Age- and dementia-friendly features in the community such as clear signage and landmarks that help people with cognitive impairment get around safely. The broader community also benefits from dementia-friendly initiatives, for example: • Enhanced physical accessibility features benefit young families who use strollers and people with limited mobility. • Clear, legible signage supports people who speak different languages and people with visual impairments.

• Social and recreational programming that addresses a range of needs is more inclusive, responsive and inviting. • Welcoming public spaces and parks can encourage greater participation in community activities and events.

DEMENTIA-FRIENDLY INITIATIVES IN OTHER COMMUNITIES Dementia-friendly community initiatives are being developed around the world. Japan set the stage for this work in response to their aging population. From there, it was embraced by the United Kingdom through the creation of the Dementia Friends program. Dementia- friendly community development then expanded in other parts of Europe, such as Belgium and the Netherlands before reaching Australia, the United States and Canada. Canada champions Dementia Friends and Dementia-Friendly Communities initiatives at the national and provincial level. In November, 2016, the Senate released their report, “Dementia in Canada: A National Strategy for Dementia-friendly Communities.” They made twenty-nine recommendations in eight categories identified as needing more effort and coordination, including: research; public awareness; training and education; diagnosis; caregiver support; health services integration; home and community care; and affordable housing. In B.C. the Alzheimer Society of B.C. has developed the Dementia- Friendly Communities initiative to support municipalities, the professional sector, community groups and the general public to become dementia-friendly through tools, education and partnership. Burnaby is one of the first communities to develop a dementia-friendly community action plan.

WHY IS BURNABY CREATING THIS PLAN? Early in 2016, the City received funding from Seniors’ Housing and Support Initiative of the UBCM Age-Friendly Community Planning and Project Grants to develop a Dementia-Friendly Community Action Plan. Development of a dementia-friendly action plan is consistent with the community inclusion goal of the Burnaby Social Sustainability Strategy and ongoing age-friendly actions. The project also contributes to the health and well-being objectives of the Burnaby Healthier Community Partnership. In addition, the Voices of Burnaby Seniors (VOBS) Community Planning table has identified dementia as a health concern of Burnaby seniors and indicated its support for community-based initiatives to address dementia. The UBCM age-friendly grant was used to engage with the community in identifying actions for the City and community partners to undertake towards becoming a more dementia-friendly community. The plan development process included research, which included focus groups with community members and frontline City VOICES OF BURNABY staff, and broad stakeholder engagement.

CREATING THE PLAN

PEOPLE AND PROCESSES The process to gather community input into the development of the community action plan took place over ten months. The first step was to establish a Working Group to guide the development and implementation of community engagement activities (see Appendix 2). The Working Group included: • Burnaby seniors, including members of Voices of Burnaby Seniors (VOBS) and an advocate for the Alzheimer Society of B.C. who is living with dementia • City staff, including a Social Planner as well as representatives from Parks, Recreation and Culture, Citizen Support Services, and Burnaby Public Library - Home Library and Accessible Services • The Alzheimer Society of B.C. Provincial Coordinators • Fraser Health Community Health Specialist and an Environmental Health Officer (Healthy Built Environments) The Working Group developed the following activities and timeline for the project.

Facilitation and coordination of the Working Group’s activities was provided by a consulting gerontologist. The working group met monthly. Members reviewed research, helped plan and promote activities and identified possible initiatives for Burnaby. They also provided skilled support during focus groups and the community forum. Community Focus Groups In June 2016, eight focus groups were held to engage people living with dementia and caregivers. These focus groups allowed participants to share their experiences and contribute ideas for a dementia-friendly Burnaby. Forty-two people took part. Most were caregivers—spouses, friends and neighbours—seeking information and resources to help someone who is living with dementia. Key recommendations from focus group participants were to: • Increase access to information about dementia, resources and services. • Increase opportunities and support for people living with dementia to remain connected and active as long as possible. • Increase support for caregivers. Focus group highlights included: • Hearing about the importance of community programs for maintaining connections with friends, receiving support and finding resources (e.g. the lunch program at Confederation Senior Centre). • Understanding the importance of support for caregivers (e.g. access to and awareness of available resources; opportunities to share with others experiencing similar situations).

Walking Interview In July 2016, a working group member living with dementia led a group of City Planning and Engineering staff on a walk from Bonsor Centre for 55+ to the intersection of Rumble Street and Royal Oak Avenue. The goal was to share his experiences and perspective about getting around in his neighbourhood. During the walk, participants considered two questions: What is already in place that works? What is needed or could be improved? Key learnings and highlights included: • Recognition that activity and social engagement supports cognitive and physical health throughout the disease progression. • Pedestrian infrastructure and recreational opportunities are important for well-being. • “Universal accessibility” is an evolving concept and design features that support some people might not work well for people with different challenges. • Understanding that cognitive changes, as well as changes in depth perception and gait can impact a person living with dementia’s ability to navigate familiar environments, reinforcing the importance of clear, simple signage at different heights and locations. • Public art and public realm features such as mailboxes and benches can also serve as navigational cues. • Extremely creative approaches to bench design can result in confusion instead of providing a comfortable place to rest. City staff had a follow-up meeting to be able to integrate learnings into design considerations for Burnaby’s public realm street standards in Town Centres.

-71- 4.C)

City Staff Focus Group In September 2016, a focus group was held with frontline City staff (Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services, Tax Department, Burnaby Public Library, Citizen Support Services) and representatives from Fraser Health Community and Home Health, the Burnaby RCMP, and the Burnaby Fire Department. Staff shared their experiences and interactions with people living with dementia. It was found that interactions with community members differ greatly for staff from different departments yet most prioritized the need for information and resources as basic as knowing where to refer people for help. Recommendations included: • Providing staff training about dementia. • Developing clear policies for serving people living with dementia effectively. • Providing support for staff who respond to people in difficult situations. Participants would also welcome additional opportunities for periodic focus groups to maintain cross-departmental connections and support.

Community Forum The final project activity was a community forum held at Shadbolt Centre for the Arts in October 2016. Close to sixty people attended, with a wide range of ages and community representation. The Alzheimer Society of B.C. shared information about their resources and programs and Fraser Health representatives explained dementia referral and care processes. A presentation about the results of the focus groups and walking interview was followed by

BURNABY DEMENTIA-FRIENDLY COMMUNITY ACTION PLAN DRAFT SEPTEMBER 2017 11

-72- 4.C)

facilitated round table discussions and sharing and prioritization of ideas to include in the action plan. Forum highlights included: • Learning how one person has approached living with dementia by increasing involvement within his community and the importance of sustaining activity. • Understanding the value of building on what is already working in the City. For example, dementia-friendly community features can benefit people of all ages and abilities. • Opportunities to share experiences and ideas. One participant remarked “thank you for not just talking at us.”

WHAT WE LEARNED: KEY RECOMMENDATIONS Recommendations for creating a dementia-friendly Burnaby fall into four key themes that emerged over the course of the project: People, Knowledge and Awareness; Things to Do; Your Surroundings; and Advocacy. Participants were clear and consistent about their priorities and recognized that becoming a more dementia-friendly community is an ongoing process. They also acknowledged the challenges of working with limited funding, facility space, and staff and volunteer capacity. Most recommendations include actions that can build on the many things the City is already doing to support people with dementia and those who care for them. For example: • Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services staff support people in finding programs that are a good fit for their interests and abilities, provide training and resources for staff and volunteer program leaders to be inclusive, offer community workshops about topics related to aging, and host support groups facilitated by the Alzheimer Society of B.C. They also provide information

12 BURNABY DEMENTIA-FRIENDLY COMMUNITY ACTION PLAN DRAFT SEPTEMBER 2017

-73- 4.C)

brochures about community supports and resources. • Burnaby Public Library’s Home Library and Accessible Services provide a range of reading and listening materials to people who cannot get to the library, selecting items based on requests and interests. • Citizen Support Services provides a range of programs that are used by people with dementia and their caregivers, such as Shop by Phone, Shopping Buddies, Lunch Program, Volunteer Visitor, Phone Buddy, Gadabouts, and Better at Home services. They also offer dementia workshops for staff and volunteers to learn about available resources and programs. • Planning and Engineering work together to improve age-friendly and accessibility features throughout the City, engage community members in assessment walk-abouts, and develop policies to create safe routes for pedestrians and people who use mobility aids.

A PARTNERSHIP APPROACH The creation of a more dementia-friendly community requires a partnership approach. Burnaby will become more dementia-friendly through the actions of the City and community partners (e.g. community groups such as the Voices of Burnaby Seniors, Fraser Health, businesses and the general public) working together to create a more inclusive and dementia aware community. While the action plan is primarily focused on City actions, it should be recognized that all levels of government, community organizations, and the public have key roles to play.

COMMUNITY ACTION PLAN

The Action Plan is based on the input received during the community consultation process. As noted above, we all have a role to play in becoming a more dementia-friendly community. With regard to the City’s role, implementation of the actions will need to align with the work program and priorities of the departments identified. Implementation of the plan and its actions will take place over a three year period. It is also recognized that the action plan may evolve as our dementia awareness grows and new opportunities arise.

VISION The City of Burnaby is working towards becoming a more dementia-friendly community where people living with dementia, their families and caregivers are included, connected and supported.

1. PEOPLE, KNOWLEDGE AND AWARENESS

All project participants—from community members to City staff—said the top priority for building a dementia-friendly community is to increase awareness and understanding of dementia, resources, and supports. People of all ages want to learn more about what dementia is, why it is an issue, and what they can do to help themselves and others. They want to learn how to recognize when someone is experiencing difficulty, either as a person living with dementia or as a caregiver, and how to respond in an appropriate and helpful way. They also want to understand signs and symptoms of dementia to proactively manage their own health.

Staying active and connected with the community can help people living with dementia and their caregivers sustain physical well-being, reduce stress and risk of depression. However, cognitive loss can contribute to withdrawal from familiar people, places and activities due to concerns about how others may respond to confusion or forgetfulness, fear of getting lost or being unsafe, and reduction in the ability to participate at a certain level—whether it is sweating it out in a fitness class or singing in a choir.

Participants encouraged the City to be creative in developing ways to support participation in familiar and new recreational and exercise programs as well as attending cultural performances and community events such as Canada Day celebrations, Symphony in the Park, the Burnaby Blues + Roots Festival, or the Burnaby Heights Hats Off Day.

3. YOUR SURROUNDINGS

Our physical environment, which includes everything from parks and shopping areas to streets, sidewalks and recreation centres, impacts what people do, where they go, and the support they may need to go out in the community. Perceptual and physical challenges noted above can also contribute to how people experience their environment.

• Loss of familiar landmarks can contribute to getting lost.

• Signage that is difficult to see or read due to the location of the sign, lack of colour contrast, or complex wording can make it hard to navigate. For example, participants recommended transit stations replace words such as “concourse” and “platform” with “street level” and “train level”.

• Areas that are poorly lit or noisy can feel unsafe.

• Perceptual changes that impact depth perception and physical changes that contribute to looking downwards when walking instead of looking forward can increase risk of falls.

IMPLEMENTATION

The Burnaby Dementia-Friendly Community Action Plan provides a foundation for the City and the community to 1) increase understanding of dementia, 2) build on existing programs and activities, and 3) explore new ways to become more dementia-friendly. As the Alzheimer Society of B.C. notes, “becoming a dementia-friendly community is a journey as opposed to a destination”. The actions in the plan will help Burnaby become a more dementia-friendly community over the years. Many of the actions do not involve new programs or initiatives but rather an expansion in our thinking to be more inclusive of people living with dementia and other cognitive impairments, and their caregivers. The learnings along the way will inform our plans, programs and policies and will support our overall social sustainability goals of community inclusion, liveability and resilience. Recommended next steps include: • Engaging and accessing the resources, training and services of the Alzheimer Society of B.C. and Fraser Health to support development and implementation of recommendations. • Convening the Dementia-Friendly working group on a regular basis to inform and report back on the development and implementation of recommendations. • Continuing to work on enhancing our public realm standards and features as part of standard City processes. • Reporting to Council on a regular basis on the progress of the plan.

4.0 GENERAL DISCUSSION 4.1 On 2003, May 05, Council adopted a number of recommendations regarding processing procedures and criteria for assessing different types of liquor licence applications, including approving guidelines for assessing applications for new and amended liquor primary licences. The adopted guidelines are utilized as a general guide to assess this proposal. Consideration of theseguidelines is outlined below:

a) Observance ofa sufficient distancefrom orphysical separationfrom:

• existing liquor primary establishments • residential uses • schools • carefiicilities • other uses such as gaming fiicilities, cyber centres, amusement arcades, and billiard halls

The subject liquor primary establishment is not located proximate to potentially conflicting uses. Other than the existing liquor primary licence for the casino and the Atlas Restaurant/Lounge, located within the casino/hotel development, the closest liquor primary facility is Habitat Pub, located more than 250 m away at the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT). Residential uses and BCIT are also located approximately 250 m away. Moscrop Secondary is approximately 1.5 km to the south. The subject establishment is also not proximate to any care facilities, with the Carleton Gardens seniors residential facility located more than 250 m to the west, Bumaby General Hospital approximately 800 m to the southwest, and the nearest licenced child care facilities approximately 400 m to the west. It is also noted that there are no cyber centres, amusement arcades, or billiard halls in the area.

b) Nature of proposed establishment (e.g. entertainment, outdoor patio, hours and person capacity)

The subject liquor primary establishment is a part of a casino facility which includes a gaming area, a variety of food and beverage facilities, and patios areas. The establishment operates 24 hours a day and is part of a larger complex that contains the Delta Hotel and Convention Centre. It is located in an industrial/business centre area, adjacent to Highway 1and Willingdon Avenue; the adjacent hotel, which is contractually operated for the casino is the only nearby site with overnight occupancy. The nearest residential property is approximately 250 m away.

Given that there is no adjacent residential development, the nature of the casino, the ambient Highway #1 noise, the small size of most patios, and the larger Personas patio

-93- 5.3. To: City Manager From: Director Planning andBuilding Re: Liquor Licence Application #77-01 Grand Villa Casino Liquor Primary Liquor Licence 2017September 6 Page 6

being remote from the hotel, Plamiing staff support the request for music to play at background levels to 1:00 am on all patios, subject to compliance with the Bumaby Noise or Sound Abatement Bylaw. It is sJso expected that any noise related to the use of the outdoor patio areas would be self-monitored by the owner/operators of the casino-hotel complex and adjusted in response to complaints or instructions. In addition, hotel guests would be aware that the facility is part ofthe casino.

Staff support the new liquor primary licence with a Family Food Service Term & Condition for Personas restaurant/lounge, given the following measures will be taken to ensure minors are unable to access the casino from Personas:

• at the entrance to the casino from Personas, there will be signs posted that state "No Minors Permitted Beyond This Point"; • there will be a Gaming Security Officer stationed at the casino entrance during Personas' business hours; • an "Accompanied Minors Permitted Until 10:00 pm" sign will be posted at the public exterior entrance to Personas; and • an accessible exterior entrance will be required so that persons ofall ages and levels ofability may access Personas.

BCLC has also provided six examples of locations where family friendly restaurants associated with gaming facilities are permitted within BC^.

Hours of liquor service are not proposed to change and are considered acceptable. In addition, staff support the proposed separated person capacity as there is no overall change in the maximum number currently permitted, wiA current maximum licenced person capacity of 4,817 proposed to be separated into 281 for Personas and 4,536 (i.e. 4,817-281) for the remaining liquor primary service area,

c) Satisfaction ofallparking requirements on site

The subject site satisfactorily meets the off-street parking requirements required under the Zoning Bylaw.

d) Safe and convenient accessfor vehicular traffic to the site, as well as safe accessfor pedestrians to the liquor licence establishment

The site has safe and convenient access for vehicular traffic, as well as safe access for pedestrians. Provisions include a traffic signal at Sumner Avenue and Canada Way,

5 The six examples include: Starlight Casino in New Westminster, Cascades Casino in Langley, Cascades Casino in Kamloops, Cascades Casino in Penticton, Lake City Casino in Vemon, and Chances in Squamish.

-94- 5.3. To: City Manager From: Director Planning andBuilding Re: Liquor Licence Application #/7-01 Grand Villa Casino Liquor Primary Liquor Licence 2017 September 6 Page 7

sidewalks and boulevards adjacent to the site, a pedestrian connection to Willingdon Avenue from the Dominion Street cul-de-sac, and an above grade pedestrian overpass across Dominion Street connecting the casino/hotel complex and the facility's parking structure.

e) Goodproximity (within 250 metres) ofpublic transit

Bus service is available within less than a 500 m walk at the intersection of Willingdon Avenue and Canada Way and the intersection ofGilmore Avenue and Canada Way.

4.2 The LCLB, as part oftheir assessmentprocess ofapplications for amendmentsto existing liquor primary licences, requests that local government provide comments on the additional following criteria:

(a) The impact ofnoise on nearby residents

Giventhere is no proposedincrease in the total licencedperson capacity for Personasand the casino, the casino's relatively isolated location approximately 250 m away from residential uses, and ambient traffic noise to the north and east, it is not anticipated that the requested background music on licenced patios would have any significant impact on area residents. It is expected that any noise would also be self-regulated by casino/hotel management. The Bumaby Noise or Sound Abatement Bylaw also applies.

(b) The impact on the communityifthe application is approved

Given there is no proposed increase in the total licenced person capacity for Personas and the casino, and its relatively isolated location from potentially conflicting uses, including residential uses, it is not anticipated that the liquor primary liquor licence application or the requestto play background musicon all patios wouldhave a significant impacton the community.

4.3 The RCMP and Social Planning staff have commented that they have no concerns regarding the requested liquor primary licence or amendments to the existing liquor primary licence, given the nature ofthe establishment and the existence of good security measures. The casino has extensive responsible liquor service policies and it is not anticipated that the casino would be a draw to patrons of other liquor primary establishments.

4.4 Records in the Engineering Department, Environmental Services Division indicate there in one previous noise complaint related to existing casino operations, which has since been resolved, on record from a resident in the 4100 block of Dominion Street. The complaint was related to live music with speakers on a patio. The Engineering Department, Environmental Services Division would not be in support of allowing the

-95- 5.3. To: City Manager From: Director Planning andBuilding Re: Liquor Licence Application #77-01 Grand Villa Casino Liquor Primary Liquor Licence 2017 September 6 Page 8

applicant to play live music outdoors, however, background music would not raise an issue.

4.5 Given the single complaint on record, the casino's isolated location and proximity to the Highway, the self-regulated nature of the establishment with their own hotel guests staying on premises, and the applicant's commitment regarding background music as previously defined above. Planning staff consider it is feasible to permit background music (no live music) to be played on all patios until 1:00 am v^thout adverse effect. The operation would also be subject to the requirements of the Bumaby Noise or Sound Abatement Bylaw.

4.6 LCLB regulations state that if the proposed licence may affect nearby residents, local goverrmient must gather the view ofthe residents. It is therefore recommended that staff gather public input from property ovmers and residents, similar to a Public Hearing notification process. The gathering ofpublic input would include: letters being sent to all property owners and occupants within 30 metres ofthe site, inviting written corrmients be sent to the Planning Department; notification in two consecutive issues of the local newspaper; and the placement ofa sign at the site.

4.7 In summary, the request to create a separate liquor primary licence vsdth a Family Food Service Term & Condition for Personas restaurant/lounge is supported by this Department. As a result of a new liquor primary licence for Personas, the existing maximum licenced person capacity of4,817 for the casino would remain but be separated into two licenced areas - 281 for Personas and 4,536 (i.e. 4,817-281) for the revised liquor primary service area. The latter includes anincrease of456 m^ (4908.34 sq.ft.) to the existing liquor primary service area on the second floor ofthe casino. Planning also supports permitting background music only (no live music), not to exceed the Bumaby Noise or Sound Abatement Bylaw levels, on all seven patios (including Personas, patio) until 1:00 am.

If Council supports the proposed liquor licence, it is recommended that the existing Section 219 Covenant registered on the property be removed and replaced with a new Section 219 Covenant within 45 days of Council approval of the application. This new Covenant would establish the revised licenced liquor primary service areas with updated maximum licenced person capacity for each area and to permit background music (no live music) on the patios (not to exceed the Bumaby Noise or Soimd Abatement Bylaw levels). Other terms and conditions of the existing Section 219 Covenants relating to overall licenced person capacity in the licenced liquor primary licence service area, the prohibition ofoff-site sales ofliquor, and the hours ofoperation would be included in the new Section 219 Covenant.

5.0 CONCLUSION Based on the information presented above, staff recommend that Council support the new liquor primary licence at the subject establishment, as discussed in Section 3.0 ofthis report, subject to staff gathering public input. Once this input has been gathered from the public, staff vdll submit a subsequent report to Council responding to the comments of nearby residents. Staff also recommend that a copy ofthis report be forwarded to the General Manager, Liquor Control and Licensing Branch, P.O. Box 9292, Stn.
