Re: Funding for 2019 Operational Expenses

On behalf of the Pemberton Meadows Fire Association, I would like to extend our sincerest thanks for your continued support of our operation. Your support has enabled us to acquire the necessary vehicles, equipment and training needed to become a legitimate entity with many dedicated volunteers.

We continue to work hard to meet the requirements under FUS (Fire Underwriters Survey) and began fund raising in August for a newer fire truck. We have raised $5,000 to date from three events and have more planned in the future. We are hopeful to continue this run as getting a newer truck will fulfill our FUS requirements to get semi-protected status (which is our main objective), along with providing a necessary service for residents of the Meadows.

We have also applied to the CRA for our Incorporated Society to become a Charitable Organization, which will enable us to apply for more funding and grants toward capital purchases. We should hear the outcome of our application in March 2020.

We greatly appreciate your continued support and look forward to our ongoing collaboration.

Sincerely,

Jessica~ Dunbar Director I Treasurer

Request for Decision Anderson Lake Dock Maintenance Funding

Date of Meetings: November 13/27, 2019

Recommendation:

THAT up to $3,000 from Electoral Area C Amenity funds be allocated to fund maintenance of the Anderson Lake Dock located at D’Arcy for 2020.

Attachment: None.

Key Information: The construction and maintenance of the Anderson Lake dock located at D’Arcy has been funded from Area C Gas Tax Community Works Funds and Area C Amenity Funds. Separate community parks services are in the process of being established for each individual electoral area as, currently, there is only a jointly funded service for Electoral Areas A, B, C and D via Cost Centre 3000, Electoral Area Community Parks. Once these cost centres have been separately established, the funds for repair and construction of this dock can be made from the Area C Parks cost centre.

Staff estimate that $3,000 per year is required to fund basic maintenance, based on previous years’ expenses, and recommend that a grant be provided from Area C Amenity Funds for 2020 in this amount.

Options: 1. Fund operations and maintenance of the dock via Electoral Area C Amenity Funds. 2. Fund operations and maintenance of the dock from Area C Select Funds. 3. Other, as determined by the Board.

Preferred Option: Providing a grant to fund the dock will provide staff with the ability to move ahead with dock operations and maintenance on a timely basis.

Follow-Up Action & Communications Plan: Inspection and maintenance will proceed as usual.

Date of Meetings: November 13/27, 2019

Recommendations:

Attachment: • 2019 Seton Fire Service Survey Results

Background:

The Squamish-Lillooet Regional District Seton Portage/Shalalth Fire Protection Financial Contribution Service Establishing Bylaw No. 480, 1992, Amendment Bylaw No. 1641-2019 was adopted in September 2019. The amended bylaw allowed for an increase in the tax requisition for fire services to $20,000 and clarified the third-party nature of fire services delivery in this service area. The Seton Valley Volunteer Fire Department (“SVVFD”) is currently “stood down” to allow for the following: • Additional time for the Seton Valley Volunteer Firefighters Society (“Society”) to consider its’ position in relation to bringing the SVVFD up to the minimum legislative and regulatory requirements of running a compliant volunteer fire service. • Time for the Society to recruit a designated Chief Officer. • Time for the Seton Valley community to consider the available options for future provision of fire services, via the September 29th community meeting (see below), and via the formal survey after the community meeting date to gather feedback on the preferred option moving forward. • As well, the allocation of $30,000 in Area B PILT funding (see resolution from July 24/25, 2019 below) to purchase essential personal protective equipment and turnout gear has not yet been released to the Society due to the current lack of clarity about roles and responsibilities and a person in charge and as the equipment is not required until the points above have been determined. THAT funding of up to $30,000 be granted to the Seton Valley Volunteer Fire Department from Area B Northern Area BC Hydro Payment In Lieu of Taxes (PILT) Funds towards the cost of replacing 8 sets of:

• self-contained breathing apparatuses; and

• turn out gear for firefighters’ safety.

To ensure continuity of fire protection services during this time, the SLRD has entered into a temporary service agreement with Tsal’alh, through their volunteer fire department (Seton Lake Volunteer Fire Department – “SLVFD”), to wholly take over fire service response (vs. assisting the SVVFD) in the Seton Valley on a temporary basis to December 31, 2019. An additional consideration in standing down the SVVFD at this time and placing response wholly with the Tsal’alh VFD has been the stated position of the Society that they plan to respond to a fire with no incident command structure in place. Tsal’alh has expressed concern that if the SLVFD responded to a fire on or off-reserve with assistance from the SVVFD and there were no incident command system in place, their members may be placed at risk.

Analysis:

A well-attended SLRD community meeting took place in Seton Portage on September 29, 2019 to update the community about the changes to the fire service, to solicit feedback on options for the future provision of fire services, and to answer questions from the community about this matter. Further to the September 29, 2019 community meeting held to outline the current state and future direction of fire services in Seton Portage, an online survey was published with a closing date of October 21st, seeking community feedback on their preferred options for fire service provision. There were 31 respondents to the survey, but only 25 from the Seton fire area, and 18 completed the survey. Thus, the results should be treated with caution, and considered as one piece of information in the overall decision-making process. Survey respondents were provided with the opportunity to review the detailed PowerPoint presentation that was central to the September community meeting (available for review and download at: https://www.slrd.bc.ca/inside-slrd/current-projects-initiatives/squamish-lillooet- regional-district-slrd-electoral-area-b-fire-protection-seton-valley-volunteer). This presentation includes detailed financial breakdowns for each option and the corresponding tax requisition per $100,000 of property value required for each option. Survey respondents were asked to rank five options for future fire services from most preferred to least preferred. Option A (status quo brigade or other third party delivered fire protection service to brigade standard – Society or other model) was voted first or second most preferred option by 83.34% of respondents. Option D (explore either amalgamation of the SVVFD with the Tsal'alh SLVFD, or for Tsal'alh to become the service provider for fire protection services in the Seton Portage/Shalalth Fire Protection Area) was voted first or second most preferred option by 66.67% (two thirds) of respondents. Option E (cease operations and no fire service) was the least preferred option.

The survey results are consistent with what we have heard from members of the Seton community, i.e., that the most preferred option is for a Society based model to continue to provide fire protection services, but that if this was not feasible, then an arrangement with Tsal’alh was preferred to no fire service or to a large tax hike to cover a more comprehensive volunteer fire service. This result is also consistent with the results of a similar survey of the community in 2016, where status quo was also the most voted option.

At this time, the Society is faced with a considerable challenge in re-establishing a fire service that meets the minimum standards for a volunteer fire brigade under the requirements set out by the BC Office of the Fire Commissioner. The small population size is a significant factor in terms of a small number of people taking on a considerable workload. The 2016 Statistics Canada Census recorded just 46 full time residents in Seton Portage/Shalalth (excluding Tsal’alh community residents), and 20 of these are recorded as being aged 65 and older.

Request for Decision Seton Valley Fire Services Future Direction

Since the resignation of the former SVVFD fire chief in August 2019 after a brief tenure of a few months, there has been no fire chief. Staff understand from discussions with the current Seton Valley Volunteer Firefighters Society Treasurer that there is currently no one identified within the community or externally who is a prospective candidate to fill the role of fire chief. Staff further understand from these discussions that considerable effort is being made to get the financial and other records of the Society back in good order, including filing past years’ tax returns with the Canadian Revenue Agency. Progress is reportedly being made towards re-establishing WorkSafeBC compliant processes and training. The SVVFD currently has four year-round members. Re-establishing and maintaining a minimum number of volunteer members with appropriate training and current certification will be a significant challenge with the low population size and older demographic. Seasonal residents, who comprise the majority of Society and SVVFD members, have already left or will soon leave for their residences outside the community, highlighting the challenge for this volunteer fire service to both re-establish a legislative and regulatory compliant fire service, and to maintain such a service consistently in a small rural community with a significant seasonal population.

Tsal’alh has their own established volunteer fire department and a larger full-time population. Tsal’alh have indicated that they are open to discussing a proposal around amalgamation or an extended service agreement to provide third party fire protection services such as they are currently under the temporary service agreement. Under the provisions of the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District Seton Portage/Shalalth Fire Protection Financial Contribution Service Establishing Bylaw No. 480, 1992, Amendment Bylaw No. 1641-2019, the SLRD may enter into such third-party contracts for fire protection.

Time is of the essence in progressing an agreement because the current temporary service agreement between the SLRD and Tsal’alh expires on December 31, 2019.

Conclusion:

Although the Society is taking steps towards re-establishing a functioning fire service, given the very small population of Seton Portage and the requirements for a legislative and regulatory compliant volunteer fire brigade, it is expected that the SVVFD will continue to face considerable challenges in achieving and maintaining a functioning service. Amalgamation would allow for a stronger combined service with more overall funding options. Amalgamation would also provide the opportunity for existing SVVFD members to continue to participate as volunteer firefighters, and make use of the existing fire hall (owned by the SLRD) and equipment as a secondary hall to the Tsal’alh fire hall. Further, this option likely also addresses the sentiment expressed in the survey that the least preferred option was cessation of fire service operations in the Seton Portage community. However, if agreement cannot be reached to amalgamate, then third party delivery of fire services through a long-term agreement with Tsal’alh may be the most viable option for continuity of service at a brigade level.

Desired Outcome(s):

A resolution that directs staff to determine, with Tsal’alh, the parameters of amalgamating the two volunteer fire departments, and/or the terms of a longer-term agreement to provide fire services in the Seton Portage/Shalalth Fire Protection Area. With or without amalgamation, a third-party service agreement would be required as the Tsal’alh fire service would be the Authority Having Jurisdiction in either scenario. As time is of the essence with the current temporary service agreement expiring on December 31, 2019, it is recommended to advance discussions with Tsal’alh about both options in tandem. If Tsal’alh is agreeable, the current temporary service agreement may be extended on the same or similar terms while a longer-term agreement is negotiated. 3

Response Options:

• Pass a resolution that directs staff to explore with Tsal’alh First Nation (Tsal’alh) the parameters of an amalgamation of the Seton Valley Volunteer Fire Department (SVVFD) with the Tsal’alh Seton Lake Volunteer Fire Department (SLVFD), and the parameters of a service agreement with Tsal’alh for long-term third-party delivery of fire protection services in the Seton Portage / Shalalth Fire Protection Service area.

• Pass a resolution as above with conditions.

• Pass a part of the resolutions noted above, with or without conditions.

• Other responses as defined by the Board.

Preferred Strategy:

Response option 1 is the preferred strategy, as it allows for the development of a more comprehensive strategy moving forward.

Implications of Recommendation

General:

The recommended resolution would allow staff to have a more comprehensive discussion with Tsal’alh to determine the parameters, timing and logistics of amalgamating both volunteer fire services and/or the possible terms for a longer-term service agreement.

Organizational:

There are short-term implications to the workload for staff in the Emergency Program, CAO and Legislative Services departments. However, once a course of action has been determined, time spent on fire service administration will be reduced across the SLRD.

Financial:

No financial impacts at this time.

Follow Up Action:

Based on the Board’s decision.

Communication:

Public information sharing within impacted the fire service area is recommended once the preferred way forward is determined.

The November 28, 2018 staff report can be found here: 181128_Campground_Bylaw_RB1568_wCoverUpdated.pdf

With respect to the sani-dump issued referred to in the November 28, 2018 Board resolution, this change was made to the bylaw brought to the Board that November. Staff have now completed community engagement with Electoral Area C and Birken residents, having held three separate meetings (2 meetings in Birken and 1 meeting at the Pemberton Community Centre over the course of 5 months).

As noted in past reports on this matter, the SLRD does not have any regulations or policies to deal with campgrounds in detail apart from very basic and general regulations in zoning bylaws where a campground may be a permitted land use in a zone. As campgrounds can be an intensive and potentially disruptive use, it was deemed necessary to have specific regulations to address the use separate from a zoning bylaw. In the past, there have been several campgrounds in the SLRD that have been sources of disruptive noise, bylaw infractions, and poor design and construction. A key element to consider is that people require potable water and produce waste while they are camping and recreating. These issues need to be adequately addressed in a proposed campground, as there are many problems that can arise from a completely unserviced campground.

The bylaw would apply to all new private campgrounds proposed in the SLRD - it does not change any zoning regulations in any Electoral Area. It ensures that where a campground is a permitted use by default, there is a campground permit required so that key safety, servicing, and access issues can be adequately addressed. It would also require existing campgrounds that are looking to expand to get a permit from the SLRD. This would allow existing campgrounds to be brought up to the same standards over time.

The proposed revised campground bylaw would ensure that prospective campground developers would, depending on the scale of the proposal, need to prove out and submit information on:

• Water and Sewerage Systems • Site Plans, Landscape Plans, Number and Specifications of Tent/RV Campsites and other campground facilities • Geotechnical Hazard Assessment

2 Page 27 of 105 Request for Decision - SLRD Campground Bylaw No. 1568-2018 Request for Decision SLRD Campground Bylaw No. 1568-2018

• Riparian Assessment • Fire Protection, Safety Plan and Emergency Management Plan • Traffic Management Plan

The bylaw includes requirements and minimum standards regarding: • Campground Layout • Dimensions of Tent Campsites • Dimensions of RV Campsites • Onsite Caretaker • Accessory Buildings, Services and Utilities, Amenities • Placement of Camping Units, Service and Accessory Buildings • Landscaping, Buffering, Fencing and Storage • Lighting and Signage • Parking, and Roads • Pedestrian Circulation and Trails • Operation and maintenance of campsites, services, roads, parking, and amenities

Summary of the Public Engagement meetings:

The summary of the public engagement meeting notes from February 13, June 20 and June 25, 2019 is attached to this report as Appendix 3. At the first meeting in February, there were many suggestions made in order to improve the bylaw. Staff then made significant changes to the bylaw, the layout of the bylaw and the various provisions in order to simplify the bylaw and address community concerns regarding the complexity of the bylaw and certain provisions that were considered onerous.

As a result of community input, the bylaw was revised and re-formatted in order to make it simpler, more user friendly and to revise certain requirements. The format has been changed since the previous version of the bylaw to make it easier to review; highlighted sections show where non-housekeeping changes were made.

A summary of key changes is noted below.

Bylaw Changes since the public engagement meetings (i.e. since the Board last saw the bylaws in November, 2018):

• New provisions have been included in order to differentiate smaller and more rustic campgrounds based on public input. For campgrounds having fewer than 10 camping units, there are lesser requirements, as noted in the following chart:

3 Page 28 of 105 Request for Decision - SLRD Campground Bylaw No. 1568-2018 Request for Decision SLRD Campground Bylaw No. 1568-2018

PROVISION UNDER 10 CAMPING UNITS 11 OR MORE CAMPING UNITS • Potable water required for health Water purposes • Map showing location of water

supply • Confirmation from Health Authority of Permit to Operate a Water Supply System • Report stating how sewage Sewage treatment meets Health Authority Requirements • Confirmation from Health

Authority of sewerage filing Fire Protection, safety and Emergency Required Required Management Plan Geotechnical Hazard Required Required Assessment Onsite Required Required Manager/Caretaker Wildlife Attractant Required Required Provisions Site Plan None Required Required Amenities None Required Required Electricity None Required Required Storm water None Required Required management Traffic Management None Required Required Plan Referrals to Agencies None Required Required Lighting None Required None Required

The above-noted changes were supported by the residents at the public meetings, who in fact provided support to making the regulations even stronger than the ones being recommended by staff, particularly with respect to requiring an on-site manager, fire protection and wildlife attractants.

4 Page 29 of 105 Request for Decision - SLRD Campground Bylaw No. 1568-2018 Request for Decision SLRD Campground Bylaw No. 1568-2018

In addition, the following key changes were made to the bylaw:

• 3.3.2 was added to make it clear that existing campgrounds are not compelled to upgrade, but that upgrading does require compliance. • A maximum $500 penalty was added for violation of bylaw provisions. • A new 4.1 Authorization section was added. • Some of the provisions that were in the previous section 4.1, which spoke to generally layout standards were removed as they were zoning-related or too prescriptive in nature or considered to be addressed in others sections. • The definitions of “campground facility” and “parcel coverage” were removed as these are not noted in the bylaw and the definition of campground suffices. • A maximum of 90 days per calendar year was added to the definition of campground to ensure that campgrounds are not used as mobile home parks. • The definition of recreational vehicle as amended to set a maximum 14 m for a motorhome and 12.5 m for a towed recreational vehicle. • Details of procedures for obtaining a campground permit have been included in section 4.12. • Section 5, General Provisions, was added. • A general section on campground layout requirements, section 6.1.1, was added. • Washroom requirements were standardized for all campgrounds and a separate section for RV washrooms was removed. Overall washroom requirements were reduced based on public input. The need for gender-specific washrooms was removed. • For campgrounds having more than 10 campsites, laundry facility requirements were revised to address the need for washing machines and the need for dryer facilities was added. The potential to waive the need for laundry facilities was removed as there are no rural laundromats. • Requirements for pedestrian routes were removed based on feedback from the public meetings. • The fees bylaw was changed to reflect the information in the campground bylaw.

Options:

(1) (Preferred Option) Give Bylaw No. 1568-2018 2nd reading as amended and Bylaw No. 1584-2018 2nd reading. Give both bylaws 3rd reading, and adopt both bylaws.

(2) Refer back to staff for more information prior to giving the bylaws second reading.

(2) Do not create/adopt a campground bylaw.

Preferred Option: Option 1 is the preferred options as the proposed campground bylaw will provide necessary regulation to ensure good campground design and construction with revised regulations to consider alternative approaches for servicing and infrastructure as well as accommodating smaller and more rustic campgrounds.

Regional Considerations: The proposed bylaw applies to the four Electoral Areas of the SLRD.

Notes from an Electoral Area C Public Information Meeting of the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District held at the Blackwater Creek Elementary School, D’Arcy BC, on February 13, 2019 at 7 PM.

In attendance: Staff: K. Needham, Director of Planning and Development Services; A. Koterniak, SLRD Planning and GIS Technician Others: R. Mack, SLRD Electoral Area C Director; 16 members of the public

Kim Needham discussed the bylaw and went through some frequently asked questions.

Questions and Issues Discussed:

Can you use the Baumann Report to justify site specific safety? - No, the report was too general and completed a long time ago, thus site specific conditions are likely to have changed.

How long is a Geotech Report valid for? i.e. if I had a report done for my house two years ago, can the same report be used to apply for a Campground Permit? - to be confirmed with the Building Department.

Is it possible to reduce some requirements around the number of reports?

If there will be a sani-dump constructed at Mt. Currie, by the main road, should the 15 km requirement still be in place?

Will the existing campground at Whispering Falls be grandfathered and what are the requirements around that?

Are events permitted on existing/future campgrounds and what will be the limitations around that? At what point will an event permit be required? What qualifies as an event?

Staff noted that it will be recommended to the Board that electrical services be above ground and for campgrounds with no road access to be exempt from the bylaw.

Discussion as to what makes a rustic campground. Susie, in agreement with some others present, defined a rustic campground as one that will have:

- gravel driveway/dirt road access - water/washing station. does VCHA require weekly testing for potable? - garbage disposal system - toilets (i.e. outhouse or composting) and no showers - huge expense - fire pits and a fire plan - fire safety and wildlife safety signage - on-site caretaker

Page 52 of 105 Request for Decision - SLRD Campground Bylaw No. 1568-2018

- no electricity - not regulating the number of fruit trees on the property - fewer professional reports The requirement for a play structure after 10 camping spaces was deemed not necessary - kids should be playing in nature if they have come out to the backcountry; kids are more likely to get hurt on a play structure than playing ball in the field.

Public recommendation to create separate categories for a “rustic” vs commercial scale campground, with lesser requirements for a rustic campground. Interest is primarily in only having an opportunity for a rustic campground operation; no interest in commercial scale.

Ability to have a rustic campground may improve economic development in the corridor.

There was discussion about the need to update the Area C OCP.

Notes from an Electoral Area C Public Information Meeting of the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District held at the Blackwater Creek Elementary School, D’Arcy BC, on Thursday June 20, 2019 at 5:30 PM.

In attendance: Staff: K. Needham, Director of Planning and Development Services; A. MacKay, SLRD Planner Others: R. Mack, SLRD Electoral Area C Director; 12 members of the public

Campground Bylaw Public Information Meeting

Following the presentation on short-term rentals/bed & breakfast use, SLRD staff gave an update on the development of a campground bylaw for Area C. At this stage, two attendees left the meeting.

In general, attendees were supportive of the proposed direction for the campground bylaw and the updates to the proposed bylaw that had been made following the meeting in February 2019. This includes making the process less onerous for those who are applying for small campgrounds (less than 10 sites).

It was requested that SLRD staff clarify the types of water provisions that will meet Health Authority standards, and whether or not water can be brought in from off site (e.g. a cistern). SLRD staff indicated that the applicants will have to make their case to the Health Authority and secure sign off.

Meeting attendees indicated that a Fire Protection, Safety, and Emergency Management Plan should be required for campgrounds of all sizes. They also indicated that an Onsite Manager/Caretaker should be on site for campgrounds of all sizes, similar to what is expected for those running a B&B.

At the close of the meeting, SLRD staff indicated that this was the final Public Information Meeting that would be held for the topic of the campground bylaw in Area C.

Meeting concluded at 7:15pm.

From: Vivian Birch-Jones Sent: October 22, 2019 3:53 PM To: Russell Mack Cc: Lynda Flynn Subject: November EAD

For the EAD meeting in November I would like to set aside up to $2,000 from Area B Select funds towards the solar panel project at the Lillooet REC Centre.

This money to be used for initial investigative and consultative fees as necessary to investigate the idea and develop a proposal. Local electrician Mark Watson with Direct Electric has agreed to start the process and will be bringing in a solar panel expert from Squamish. This will lead to a proposal for installing the panels with costs and so forth. I understand we will need an agreement with the District of Lillooet and this has to be discussed with them, if the idea is determined to be feasible.

Thank you, Vivian

Could this information and the written request from the Pavilion group be put on the EAD agenda for consideration? Thank you, V

From: Lynda Flynn Sent: Tuesday, October 15, 2019 1:29 PM To: Vivian Birch-Jones Subject: RE: Radio /TV for Pavilion Lake residents Thanks, Vivian. The weekend was great - hope yours was too!

Regarding this service, Suzanne did some digging. The last thing that she or I remember was in 2015, Mickey gave $5,000 in Select Funds to the TV Society to again try to get the signal to the Area B residents (see attached email).

Also, due to issues with Pavilion residents not receiving the full service, there has been differing opinions in the past as to whether the radio signal is received. I have attached a copy of a report that was done in 2014 regarding this. Essentially, the TV & Radio Broadcasting service fails to reach all of the constituents in the service area. At Mickey's request, and as agreed to by the District of Lillooet, this bylaw divides the 2014 requisition amount by a specified dollar amount for both District of Lillooet and Area B, to account for the discrepancy in the service area boundary. I have put the numbers in red that would have requisitioned if not for this bylaw change. This bylaw changed the amount on a year by year basis for 2012-2014, when Lillooet felt that it was no longer fair - thus, it reverted back to the tax assessment based requisition.

"Notwithstanding Section 5, the requisition for the Year 2014 shall be $37,759.00 and shall be apportioned as follows:

(a) $35,459 ($30,820) for the District of Lillooet, and;

(b) $2,300 ($6,939) for the defined portion of the service area in Electoral Area B."

Attention: Vivian Birch Jones,

Dear Paul,

I am writing on behalf of the Pavilion Lake Residents and Property Owners Association regarding Lillooet Camelsfoot T.V. and Radio Association. We have been dealing with Camelsfoot T.V. Society since the 1970’s when the original permanent residents were trying to obtain t.v. service. While the CRTC was willing to give us a licence, we were instructed to join with Camelsfoot.

Most residents beginning in the 1980’s went to big dish satellite t.v. as the t.v. reception was often sporadic and unreliable, especially in the winter months. The Pavilion residents and Camelsfoot have both worked improve the t.v. service however there has been no usable TV service for at least 7 or 8 years yet we continued to have money taken off of our taxes.

By the time Camelsfoot T.V. and Lillooet Radio joined, residents here had given up on receiving t.v. and were looking forward to having radio reception at the lake. We have received updates and been patient knowing the LCTVRA has been trying to improve our radio quality. However we still have no usable service at the lake for over 15 years and are receiving no value for the tax dollars paid over the years.

96.9 and 93.9 on the Fm dial has extremely weak reception from vehicle radios on some areas of the Lake but not clear and certainly not reliable. We cannot receive it in our residences or in our yards. One of our residents was able to receive a Chinese station and 610 AM from Kamloops and we are aware you did travel in Area B and know of the reception problems.

As we have not been able to receive radio reception from Lillooet, we are questioning why we have paid tax dollars over the years and why we are continuing to pay for a service that we do not receive. Since this has been an ongoing issue for many many years, we are asking for an accounting of our tax dollars and that be deleted from our tax assessments and a reconciliation of our tax dollars over the years.

Thank you for listening to our concerns and we look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely

Gord Petroski President, Pavilion Lake Property Owners Association

REQUEST FOR DECISION

Bylaw 1320-2014, Lillooet Camelsfoot TV & Radio Service Amendment Bylaw

Date: February 24, 2014

Recommendation:

1. THAT the Lillooet Camelsfoot Television and Radio Rebroadcasting Contribution Service Bylaw No. 1214-2011, Amendment Bylaw No. 1320-2014, be introduced and read a first, second and third time; and

2. THAT approval of the electors regarding Lillooet Camelsfoot Television and Radio Rebroadcasting Contribution Service Bylaw No. 1214-2011, Amendment Bylaw No. 1320- 2014 be requested and obtained from the Electoral Area B Director and the District of Lillooet; and

3. THAT the Lillooet Camelsfoot Television and Radio Rebroadcasting Contribution Service Bylaw No. 1214-2011, Amendment Bylaw No. 1320-2014, be forwarded to the Inspector of Municipalities for approval.

Attachments: Bylaw 1320-2014 & Bylaw consent forms Report/Document: Attached _X_

Key Issues/Concepts Defined:

The TV & Radio Broadcasting service fails to reach all of the constituents in the service area. This bylaw divides the 2014 requisition amount by a specified dollar amount for both District of Lillooet and Area B, to account for the discrepancy in the service area boundary.

The 2014 requisition amount as presented in the bylaw has been discussed and approved by both the Electoral Area B Director and the Director of Finance from the District of Lillooet.

Consent on behalf of the electors can be provided by the Electoral Area B Director and the District of Lillooet Council pursuant to sections 802(2) and 801.4 & 801.5 of the Local Government Act. However, amendment of the service establishment bylaw requires approval by the Inspector of Municipalities before the Board can adopt it as, while the change in the amount to be requisitioned is within the maximum amount permitted under the conversion and establishment bylaw, the amendment bylaw changes the apportionment of that requisition.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

OPTIONS: (1) That the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District amendment bylaw No.1320-2014 to allocate the requisition amount of the Lillooet Camelsfoot Television and Radio Rebroadcasting Contribution Service be given three readings and that participating area and Inspector approval be requested.

(2) Do not adopt the recommendations provided herein.

Staff recommends Option 1.

Page 60 of 105 Camelsfoot Radio and Television Service (Director Birch-Jones)

Follow Up Actions:

 The bylaw and bylaw consent form be forwarded to the District of Lillooet to be presented to council to receive their consent.  The bylaw consent form be signed by the Electoral Area B Director.  The bylaw and consent forms be sent to the Ministry for inspector approval.  The bylaw be adopted by the board.

DIRECTORS REPORT EAD MEETING, NOVEMBER 2019

Tony Rainbow Director: Area D

CIV/X

CIV/X is an initiative of the Lower Mainland L.G.A. and the Directors from the SLRD have always been directly involved in the organization and management of the event.

CIV/X is held in the Wosk Centre for Dialogue in Vancouver, an excellent location for this kind of forum as the layout makes it relatively simple for all people present to participate in the discussions and questions.

Within the SLRD, municipalities cover the costs of any councillors and staff who wish to attend. Area Directors who wish to attend are required to seek Board approval each year for the costs of registration and travel.

DISCUSSION

At the moment, if an Area Director wishes to attend UBCM, LMLGA or SILGA, there is no need to ask for a Board resolution. I am suggesting that we include CIV/X in this group of development activities.

COSTS: The fee for CIV/X is currently $199 (x4 = $800). Travel costs if all four Area Directors attended would be approximately $900. Hotel and meals for those traveling from Area A and B would be approximately $1200. Total costs if all four Directors attend = approximately $3000.

MOTION

That the EAD Committee recommend to the Board that CIV/X be considered in the same way as UBCM, SILGA and LMLGA and that Area Directors may attend without seeking approval from the Board each year.

Director’s report - request for EAD agenda, November 2019

Dear Chair Russell Mack,

The Lillooet Naturalists along with many other back-country enthusiasts appreciate the Forest Service Roads (FSRs) that we have in Area B. However, many of them are in a state of disrepair. Concerns have been relayed to the Ministry of Forests about this.

I will copy some comments from the Ministry about the state of one of the FSRs here as background.

“This road is not capitalized, so it falls under a different funding policy for forest service roads (FSRs). So we inspect the road and items such as the active slide paths and bridges are the ones that get the funding spent on them. Items such as road surface quality and brushing do not. I have made requests for other funding sources, but have never received and monies for any of our non- capitalized FSRs.”

These comments are from Brian Moore, Engineering Officer, Cascades Natural Resource District MOF, in response to a recent inquiry about the Downton FSR.

My question is are some of the Gas tax funds appropriate for funding work on Forest Service Roads in Area B? And if so, what is the best way to action this?

Thank you for considering this as an addition to our EAD agenda,

Each year I host a Golf Scholarship FUNraising Event at the Pemberton Meadows to raise funds to sustain the Scholarship Awards Program. However, the program did not run last year because I went on an 18 month maternity (parental) leave. Thus the program and the funds raised were not carried out. This year I am reaching out to the organizations and entities to sustain the program for our lifelong learners as I continue to do my research and work to identify long term partnerships for the Awards Program.

We are also looking at provide secondary Awards for Grade 12 Graduates pursuing Higher education. I am still in the process of developing an application form for Secondary Students.

Please see the attached Scholarship Guideline and Application Form along with our funds raised from the Golf Scholarship Program.

St’át’imc Lifelong Learning Scholarship Application Guideline Dear Student,

A scholarship is a non-repayable grant for students who demonstrate financial need and or academic per- formance. The scholarship program funds are limited and are not intended to fund a student’s full deficit. Students who lack resources to cover living and other education-related costs during their study period should also consider applying for bursary assistance. The goal of the scholarship program is to fund students with financial need. St’át’imc Government Ser- vices understands the struggles and challenges students encounter while going to school, whether it be in high school, leaving your community to attend a post-secondary institution or deciding that you want to further your education after graduation. Lifelong learning and skill development in post-secondary education, opens many doors and opportunities. We the St’át’imc recognize that “education and training” is one of the most important priorities for all St’át’imc people today. We recognize that education not only contributes to better jobs and higher pay, but is also associated with social benefits and economic growth. According the St’át’imc Vero research of 2012, statistics tells us there are 6,492 St’át’imc members. The St’át’imc members are younger than other British Columbians in the St’át’imc Territory. Therefore, the St’át’imc workforce population is estimated to grow in population by more than 40% by 2017. Which is almost double the rate of the overall working age population.

We believe the improved education outcomes for St’át’imc people can improve economic growth in the territory, mitigate the skills labor shortage, and reduce St’át’imc social costs. The St’át’imc Lifelong Learning Scholarship Awards Program objective is to alleviate the financial stress that students experience provide scholarships to lifelong learners of the St’át’imc learning community.

All St’át’imc resident, individual community members who are either First Nation and non-First Nations of Aboriginal descent, Inuit, Metis and enrolled full time in a post-secondary, St’át’imc Language & Cul- ture Program, Graduate Studies, Health Careers or focusing on Professional Development training are eligible to apply.

Sincerely,

Laura Grizzlypaws St’át’imc Education & Training Manager

We wanted to thank the SLRD for their donation for the 2019 Winterfest event. Please find attached our Sponsorship Request letter for this year's New Year's Eve winter celebration.

RE: 2020 Winterfest Sponsorship Request

Dear Mr. Russell Mack, Area C Director:

The Spirit of BC, Pemberton Committee is once again planning and preparing for the community's Winterfest Celebrations. December 31, 2019 will mark Pemberton's 15th year of Winterfest!

Based on the high attendance and success of last year’s event, we’ve decided to once again host a New Year’s Winterfest Celebration to celebrate the end of 2019 and kick-off 2020.

As in previous years, the goal is to entertain our community members and visitors to the Pemberton area by offering a variety of recreational activities to people of all ages. The event remains free – there is no charge to participate in any of the activities. Since switching to a New Year’s Eve family celebration, we have seen over 250 participants throughout the course of the event. This year, we are hoping to further increase attendance with the line-up of events we have planned.

To off-set the costs involved and to ensure the success of Winterfest 2020, the Spirit Committee requests financial assistance from SLRD Area C. As the SLRD has generously matched the amount provided by the Village of Pemberton in past years, we would like to once again request $4,500.00 to match the grant received from the Village of Pemberton as part of the Community Initiative & Opportunity Fund.

In exchange for your sponsorship, the SLRD name and logo will appear on all our print material and on our website including a link to the SLRD site. We will also offer prominent banner placement at the event sites (banner to be provided).

Thank you for your consideration in helping make this year’s Winterfest a great success. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at [email protected].

Sincerely,

Carlee Cindric Winterfest Chair

From: Laura Grizzlypaws Sent: Monday, October 28, 2019 4:06 PM To: SLRD Info ; Nathalie Klein Subject: New Years Celebrations Powwow

The traditional powwow is a coming together of many nations and families. It's where our people can freely express what is in our hearts as Indigenous people and also support each other and our communities.... The meeting of old friends, being introduced to new ones. For the kids, we believe powwows provide the visual stimulation they need to relate to the stories and teachings we tell them at home. They are one in several ways we expose them to their culture. To hear the heartbeat of the drum, hear the high notes of the singers and hear the feet and jingles of the dancers are all triggers for their sensory experience.... The objectives community members will:

• will identify at least three ways in which all festivals and gatherings are similar in purpose and celebration content; • will recognize the important role of traditions and customs in families, communities, and will identify one of special importance to his/her own family; • will demonstrate that they are familiar with and can explain several cultural activities; • will celebrate through traditions over a traditional feast and gain a greater understanding and appreciation of St’át’imc Culture. • will gain a greater understanding of tobacco stories and discussing how tobacco traditions were corrupted by the commercial tobacco industry and through cultural events learn how to restore traditional tobacco ways that can help undo the harms of the tobacco industry and improve health of Indigenous communities and the public.

As a community we are fundraising and gathering donations to host such an event. Along with the event the community is also provided traditional feasts open to all drummers singers, dancers and spectators. These are the costs associated with hosting an event. We hope the Squamish- Lillooet Regional District will provide a contribution to our event.

Squamish’s Frontcountry Recreation Plan (Trails Portion)

Organizational Overview

The Squamish Off-Road Cycling Association (SORCA) was established in 1992. We are the primary trail advocacy group in town with more than 2100 members who voluntarily sign up every year in support of our trails. Annually SORCA enlists more than 100 businesses to contribute to the well being of the Squamish’s trails, both through weekly events that drive our membership, and through financial partnerships and donations.

Through our paid trail crew and cast of dedicated volunteers and in collaboration with community partners, SORCA contributes more than 6000 hours of trail work annually to expand and maintain the trail network.

Background

From ‘the Outdoor Recreation Capital of Canada’ to ‘Hardwired for Adventure’, Squamish has staked its brand and reputation on its outdoor recreation assets. People and businesses move here, and stay here, because they value outdoor recreation. It’s embedded in the local culture. We’ve become an incredible success story as a transition from a resource to a recreation-based economy.

Land use planning has not kept up with the changing values in the Squamish frontcountry. The Stawamus Chief Provincial Park and Smoke Bluffs Municipal Parks were created in 1997 and 2007 respectively but provide protection for a miniscule percentage of Squamish’s recreational assets. Current approaches to resource extraction and developments only give recreation secondary consideration in planning their operations.

Our world renowned trail network was primarily built by volunteers and will continue to be so in the future. This uncoordinated approach has worked well in creating a unique mix of trail experiences but does not lend itself to connecting arterial trail infrastructure, or developing the parking and trail heads that are needed to sustain the existing network.

Purpose

SORCA is proposing to develop a Front Country Recreation Master Plan (Trails Portion) in partnership with the District of Squamish, SLRD, Recreation Sites and Trails BC and the Squamish Nation. A clear plan for Squamish’s frontcountry will help to give all stakeholders certainty in planning their future operations. Squamish’s frontcountry lies entirely within the

Page 102 of 105 Request for Funding - Squamish Off-Road Cycling Association (SORCA) - Sq...

traditional territory of the Squamish Nation:their will and self determination on their lands must be regarded as of the utmost importance.

Project Outline

Task Cost

Establish a coordinating committee to manage the $10,500 development of the plan. The committee will focus the scope and determine the area limits of the plan. 1. Within the coordinating committee be sure to recognize the importance of the territorial rights and title of the Squamish Nation, and work with them to integrate their concerns into the plan. 2. Discussions, consultation and communication with the public and user groups not represented on the coordinating committee

Mapping and information gathering: $11,500 1. Delineate high value trail areas (current, preservation, expansion, ).and the experiences that they provide (trail difficulty, proximity to town, forest age, unique characteristics) 2. Examine risk factors, and constraints on future development (grade, wildlife management areas, riparian areas, timber harvesting). 3. Identify gaps in infrastructure supporting the trail network (connector trails, parking, trailheads)

Outcomes, Reporting and Communication to Stakeholders: $16,750 1. Reference other plans for pertinent information: Sea to Sky LRMP, Squamish Mountain Bike Management Plan (2005) DOS Trails Master Plan (2009), Squamish OCP 2018, Relevant Neighbourhood Plans 2. Understand Governance Issues, within the District, outside the District, crown lands, private lands

Total $38,750 .

Costs and Resources

SORCA has engaged Cascade Environmental to aid in the scoping of the plan. Cascade has a wealth of experience in recreational planning in the Sea to Sky corridor including the creation of the 2005 Mountain Bike Management Plan and the 2009 DOS Trails Master plan. Their knowledgeable staff and experience in the Squamish area makes them incredible assets in the planning process.

After the scope of the plan is finalized, a consultant can either work at a fixed cost or an hourly basis as needed with the support of SORCA and other entities.

Squamish’s frontcountry lies at the intersection of the jurisdiction of the SLRD and the DOS. Recreation on crown land throughout the province is managed by Recreation Sites and Trails BC. Funding for the project needs to come from all three of these entities. SORCA is also prepared to contribute significant financial and volunteer resources to the completion of the plan.

The most recent Pemberton Valley Trails Master plan was completed for $42,000 with contributions coming from the PVTA ($5,000), RSTBC ($15,000) and the balance ($22,000) from the Pemberton Valley Recreational Trails Service, which is one of several shared services of the Village of Pemberton and SLRD Electoral Area C overseen by the Pemberton Valley Utilities Service (PVUS).

If we use Pemberton as an example the breakdown of costs for Squamish would be as follows: Entity Budget Responsibility

SORCA $2500

Tourism Squamish $2500

Rec Sites and Trails BC $15,000

DOS $9375

SLRD $9375

Alignment with District of Squamish Council Priorities

The Planet and Our Environment:

Page 104 of 105 Request for Funding - Squamish Off-Road Cycling Association (SORCA) - Sq...

Protecting our local environment is an important first step, in doing our part to protect the planet. This plan will identify important areas that need to be protected from forestry and development, address wildlife concerns, andensure outline the proper supporting infrastructure to ensure our activities don’t have unnecessary impact on the landscape.

Neighbourhood Connectivity and Public Spaces Our trailheads, trails and forests serve both to connect neighbourhoods and as public spaces in their own regard. Creating a plan for their management and enhancement will advance this strategic priority.

The Economy and Local Jobs: Squamish’s economy is stimulated by recreation-driven tourism, and companies from other sectors are moving to Squamish because of the outdoor recreation lifestyle available here. Our frontcountry is the area where the highest levels of tourism and recreation occur. Creating a plan for infrastructure and the sustainability of Squamish’s most important asset will support the long-term viability of our local economy.

How this Plan will be used

■ Prioritize trail, infrastructure and conservation initiatives for the DOS, SLRD, SORCA and other entities to undertake through CAC contributions, taxation and other revenue sources. ■ Provide ongoing input from a recreation perspective into the future Squamish Community Forest harvesting plans ■ Give provincial land managers information off of which to base land use decisions in the area.

We’d like to thank you for your consideration of this process. It will go a long way to maintaining Squamish as a world class destination and a wonderful place to live.

Regards

Jeff Norman On Behalf of the SORCA Executive
