The Cammi ttee of the Whole meeting commenced at 12:00 p.m. 1. CITY OF TERRACE/COAST MOUNTAIN COLLEGE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING DISCUSSION Chair Leclerc called the meeting to order and explained that the purpose of the meeting was to discuss the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City and Coast Mountain College (CMTN). Chair Leclerc acknowledged that the meeting was being held on the traditional unceded homelands and territory of the Tsimshian First Nation. She also noted that due to the latest public health orders prohibiting the public from attending Council meetings in person and that public participation could be had by joining the virtual Microsoft Teams meeting through a computer, mobile device, or regular telephone call. The information on how to take part in the question portion of the meeting could be found at terrace.ca/participate. C/W, April 14, 2021 Page 2 The City of Terrace and CMTN (formerly Northwest Community College) created and signed an MOU in 2016 in which the City donated 50% of CMTN's building permit fees back to the Coast Mountain College Foundation. The Jack Talstra Memorial bursary was also created on behalf of the City. Since 2016 CMTN has improved access to the campus, rebuilt a storage shed, installed a yurt, and significantly renovated the trades building. CMTN is constructing a new student residence building, to be completed in September 2 02 1 and opened in October 2021. It will be able to house a maximum of 104 students; however, they plan on only housing 60 students in September 2021 due to the pandemic. If they are successful in get ting funding for phase two, an additional residence building will be constructed and will be able to accommodate 104 students also. They also plan to build a new Library and classroom building in 2022. They will have completed approx imately $54 million in upgrades from 2016 - 2022. Mr. Kohlman thanked the City of Terrace for its past support. Under the terms of the MOU, the City donated 50% of CMTN's building permit fees back to the Coast Mountain College Foundation. The City has donated just under $110,000 over the past five years. Mr. Kohlman asked the Committee to consider renewing the MOU for another five years. CMTN is planning further upgrades at the campus. They would like to build more housing, and have begun planning for a new Freda Diesing School of Northwest Coast Art building that will cost approximately $15 million, which will result in building permit fees of approximately $140,000. The Freda Diesing program is a flagship program for CMTN C/W, April 14, 2021 Page 3 and they would like to e xpand its offerings. The new building will be placed immediately east of the current Freda Diesing building. In 2020 some programs seen lower registration numbers than others due to the pandemic; however, registration numbers are projected to rise for the upcoming semester. The MOU was initially tied to the Campus Renewal Plan. The MOU terminates on June 22, 2021. The current Spruce Building Project may not meet the conditions and be eligible without an ex tension or renewal of the MOU. The Spruce Building Project will be completed in August 2022. Mr. Kohlman indicted proximity is a factor when reviewing contracts for work at CMTN. Local businesses get more weighting. All routine maintenance contractors are local ex cept for when there are no businesses with the required expertise in the region. CMTN has just under 500 staff and faculty. It was noted that a key benefit of the MOU is that it makes it easier for CMTN to improve their campus amenities which aligns with the City's strategic plan. The MOU also aids in creating a vibrant post-secondary institution for individuals and families looking at Terrace as a potential place to live. To establish the Jack Talstra Memorial bursary $5,000 was used. This award was to be given out as five $1,000 awards. $2,500 has been dispersed since 2018- 2019, leaving $2,500 to be awarded in future years. The award is advertised on the CMTN website. CMTN was unsure if the $5,000 to establish the Jack Tals tra Memorial bursary was part of the C/W, April 14, 2021 Page 4 approximately $110,000 that was donated back to CMTN by the City. The MOU and the Jack Talstra Memorial bursary were created at the same time and formed part of the same agreement. The $5,000 is not endowed. Every year the $5,000 is reduced by the amount awarded to students until it is exhausted. The uptake of the Jack Talstra Memorial bursary hasn't been great over the past five years. This may be because the award wasn't established until the 2017-2018 academic year. CMTN can provide an annual update regarding the students who have received the award. The Chair asked if anyone from the public had questions. There were no members of the public virtually present. It was recommended that the Memorandum of Understanding between Coast Mountain College and the City of Terrace be referred to staff to review and report back to Council. The April 14, 2021 Committee of the Whole meeting adjourned at 12:25 p.m. CERTIFIED CORRECT Chair Cl.erk .

It symbolizes the unity felt by the Wet’suwet’en, Gitxsan, Haisla, Talhtan, Nisga’a, Tsimshian, and Haida when it comes to meeting the educational needs of their people.

  • Institutional Accountability Report and Plan
    Institutional Accountability Report 2018and-19 to 2021Plan-22 July 2019 Coast Mountain College Accountability Statement July 3, 2019 Honourable Melanie Mark Ministry of Advanced Education, Skills and Training Parliament Buildings PO Box 9080 Stn Prov Govt Victoria, BC V8W 9E2 Dear Minister Mark; On behalf of the Board of Governors and the employees of Coast Mountain College, we are pleased to provide you with the 2018/19 Institutional Accountability report. This report reflects upon our success over the past year as we move towards the direction laid out for the next several years under the Coast Mountain College strategic plan. With the senior leadership in place, the organization has been working with community partners on several key initiatives: Effective June 18, 2018 Northwest Community College officially became Coast Mountain College (CMTN). The name change comes after two and a half years of research, community engagement and a strategic planning process that involved staff, faculty, students, alumni and community members. During the last year, the college rolled out its new name with a new brand image. The name Coast Mountain College and the brand chosen was chosen both link the importance of the people, places, geography and culture that are only found in this part of the country. This new visual identity also reflects the connection to community that we know is so dearly valued by our alumni, staff, students and other stakeholders in the community. The colour is a nod to the glaciers and rivers that define the area. The logo includes C-shaped forms referring to the coastal areas of the region and an M shape that represents the mountains.

    For Immediate Release 18-016 June 18, 2018 BC FERRIES AND THE FIRST PEOPLES’ CULTURAL COUNCIL ANNOUNCE INDIGENOUS ARTISTS FOR THE NORTHERN SEA WOLF VICTORIA – BC Ferries, in partnership with the First Peoples’ Cultural Council (FPCC), has commissioned two Indigenous artists to design artwork that will adorn the Northern Sea Wolf. The two artists selected to design artwork for the Northern Sea Wolf are Richard Hunt of the Kwakwaka'wakw Nation in T’sakis (Fort Rupert, B.C.) and Danika Naccarella of the Nuxalk Nation in Bella Coola, B.C. The Northern Sea Wolf was named in honour of a First Nations legend in which the Sea Wolf is a manifestation of the Orca. The Sea Wolf symbolizes family, loyalty and the protection of those travelling their waters. FPCC issued a call for artists last December and invited artists to submit their portfolios for consideration. In February, a jury of Indigenous artists respected in their fields, joined by representatives from BC Ferries, shortlisted the submissions. The adjudication committee based their decision on artistic excellence, artistic style, ability to reflect the character and life of the waters the vessel will traverse, ability to provide materials suitable for fabrication and ability to meet the project timeline. FPCC then commissioned the shortlisted artists to develop design concepts. This April, they selected Danika Naccarella and Richard Hunt’s designs. Danika and Richard are working with BC Ferries to prepare their designs for final refinement and application. The designs will be revealed to the public once they are completed. The Northern Sea Wolf will provide direct summer service between Port Hardy and Bella Coola, with a connector service once a week between Bella Coola, Bella Bella, Shearwater and Ocean Falls.

    For Immediate Release 18-041 November 23, 2018 BC FERRIES AND FIRST PEOPLES’ CULTURAL COUNCIL REVEAL INDIGENOUS ARTWORK FOR NORTHERN SEA WOLF VESSEL VICTORIA – BC Ferries and the First Peoples’ Cultural Council revealed today the Indigenous artistic designs for the Northern Sea Wolf. Kwakiutl First Nation’s Richard Hunt and Nuxalk Nation’s Danika Naccarella designed the artwork that will adorn the Northern Sea Wolf. The artwork will be displayed on the interior and exterior of the vessel for customers to view, along with profiles of the artists. BC Ferries and community stakeholders named the Northern Sea Wolf in honour of a First Nations’ legend in which the Sea Wolf is a manifestation of the Orca. The designs depict the beauty of the majestic animal, with The Sea Wolf the symbol of family, loyalty and the protector of those travelling their waters. In December 2017, the First Peoples’ Cultural Council issued a call for artists from the Central Coast to submit their portfolios for consideration. A jury of artist peers and BC Ferries representatives identified a shortlist of artists who were invited to submit specific design concepts for the Northern Sea Wolf. The jury reviewed the design concepts with attention to artistic excellence, Indigenous style and the ability to express the vessel name through artwork, selecting and commissioning the designs of Richard Hunt and Danika Naccarella. Direct seasonal service between Port Hardy and Bella Coola commenced this September with the Northern Adventure. Starting in spring 2019, the Northern Sea Wolf will provide direct summer service between Port Hardy and Bella Coola, with a connector service once a week between Bella Coola, Bella Bella, Shearwater and Ocean Falls.
