Page 5 of 47 Thompson-Nicola Regional District Film Commission Minutes Regular Meeting - Thursday, April 7, 2016 Page 4 of 5 (b) Filming on Crown Lands in the Thompson-Nicola Regional District The Film Commissioner discussed the filming disincentive of a 140-day (4 ½ months) waiting period for production companies to acquire a Film Permit to film on Crown Lands in situations where land may be disturbed temporarily. The Film Commissioner advised that staff, in collaboration with Creative BC, will investigate possible best practices, solutions and scenarios that may lessen the waiting period and satisfy the needs of stakeholders. The Film commissioner requested that the TNRD Board of Directors meet with the BC Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training at the 2016 Union of BC Municipalities Conference in September to make the Minister aware of our concerns and the negative impact the 140-day waiting period has on filming in the TNRD. Moved by Director Murray Seconded by Director Lange RECOMMEND THAT the TNRD Board submit a request for a meeting at the 2016 Union of BC Municipalities Convention with the BC Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training to discuss creating a less time consuming and streamlined Film Permitting process where Crown Lands may temporarily be disturbed by filmmaking activities, and restored. CARRIED (c) Current Activities The Film Commissioner presented 2016 Looking Back and Looking Forward in PowerPoint highlighting TNFC activities and projects. So far the US feature film franchise Power Rangers will film in early April for approximately 10 days in Kamloops and TNRD, a BMW commercial will film later in April for 2 days region, and a Canadian feature film Juggernaut will start production in May in Kamloops, Merritt, Ashcroft and Cache Creek and surrounding areas.
