Request for Decision Resolution Required Pursuant to Ministerial Order No. M192

Key Information

Due to the COVID-19 global pandemic, physical distancing is a measure required to limit or slow the spread of the novel coronavirus. The requirement of physical distancing applies to meetings of local governments, which restricts or limits the ability of local governments to hold meetings that are open to the public. To resolve this issue on a temporary basis, the Province issued Ministerial Order No. M139 (“M139”) relieving local governments of certain legislative requirements (such as holding meetings that are open to the public). As a result of M139, the SLRD Board was permitted in April and May to conduct its meetings virtually, and by electronic means, for the limited period of time that the provincial state of emergency is in effect.

On June 17, 2020, the Province issued Ministerial Order No. M192 (“M192”) which continues to authorize local governments to hold electronic meetings and public hearings, while encouraging the transition back to normal operations. The Order replaces M139 that previously authorized local governments to hold meetings and hearings by electronic means and imposes further obligations on local governments to encourage in-person open meetings when possible.

Therefore, as of June 17, 2020, the SLRD may only exclude public attendance at an open meeting if, despite using best efforts, the SLRD is unable to accommodate public attendance in a manner consistent with public health orders and recommendations. If a local government body does not allow public attendance, the body must pass a resolution stating the basis for not allowing public attendance and the means by which the Board is ensuring openness, transparency, accessibility and accountability in respect of the meeting.

On August 12, 2020, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing published a circular (the “Circular”) that provides much needed clarity regarding M192. In the Circular, the Province recognizes “that the capacity, technology and space available to local governments to conduct meetings in-person and/or electronically differs across the province and have therefore intended that Order M192 provide flexibility to local governments to decide what will work best for their community as they continue to reopen under Phase 3 of the BC Restart Plan”.

According to the Circular, there are several factors to consider when preparing to hold in- person meetings, including:

• the HVAC system or fresh air exchange (e.g. open windows/doors);

• posting the COVID-19 safety plan at the venue;

2 Page 7 of 188 Request for Decision - Resolution Required Pursuant to Ministerial Order...

Request for Decision Resolution Required Pursuant to Ministerial Order No. M192

• establishing a process for collecting and safely retaining the first and last names and telephone number, or email address of every person who attends an open meeting in person;

• the wearing of face masks by elected officials, staff and members of the public when physical distancing is not practical;

• having a greeter at the entrance informing the public about established safety protocols, including hand washing or sanitization, physical distancing and using a face mask where physical distancing is not practical or if they are concerned for their personal well-being;

• posting occupancy limits (no more than 50 persons) based on the PHO Order requirements and WorkSafeBC recommendation and guidelines;

• implementing separate entrances and exit points to control the flow of people through the venue; and

• ensuring washrooms are supplied with soap, water and drying materials so visitors can wash their hands. Limit the number of people at a time in public washrooms and establish how often cleaning and disinfection will take place.

The SLRD is working towards a return to in person meetings in a measured and cautious manner, and the Circular has provided helpful guidance in this regard. Engineering controls (specifically plexiglass at the reception counter and at an adjacent staff work station) have now been installed. Work continues in respect of determining occupancy limits (which at this time are estimated to be 4 members of the public in the Boardroom gallery as currently configured), updating the safety plan, developing the process for collecting contact information, and considerations around a pre-registration system for those wishing to attend in public. At this time, the SLRD is not yet able to accommodate in person public attendance at Board and Committee meetings.

Alignment with SLRD Reopening Plan:

At the June 24, 2020 Board meeting, the Board approved Policy No. 24-2020 (Policy to Approve the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District Reopening Plan). Pursuant to this Policy, the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) determines the date that Stage 2 commences (i.e. upon the engineering controls and other health and safety measures, as required, being put in place).

On September 11, 2020, the SLRD moved into a phased approach of Stage 2 of the SLRD COVID-19 Reopening Plan. Whereas Stage 2 consists of (1) limited public access to the Office and (2) in-person attendance by members of the public at Board meetings, the CAO has 3 Page 8 of 188 Request for Decision - Resolution Required Pursuant to Ministerial Order...

Request for Decision Resolution Required Pursuant to Ministerial Order No. M192

determined it is only possible at this time to provide (1) limited public access to the Office. Thus, a phased approach to Stage 2 has been adopted – this is being called Stage 2A.

Stage 2A of the SLRD Reopening Plan is characterized as follows:

Start Date Public Access In-Person Public Employees to Office Attendance at Board Meetings Stage 1 March 19, None None Small core team 2020 until remaining in Office, September with remainder of 10, 2020 employees working from home.

Stage 2A September Partial, None Same as Stage 1 11, 2020 restricted above. until further reception/front notice counter (in progress) services (with engineering controls and other measures as required)

Stage 2 To be Partial, Yes, as per Ministerial Same as Stage 1 determined restricted Order No. M192 above reception/front counter (if possible) services (with engineering controls and other measures as required)

Stage 3 To be determined

Stage 4 Expected to be aligned with Phase 4 of the BC Restart Plan

The scope of Stage 2A Operations is characterized by a partial and restricted re-opening of the Office, as follows:

• To allow for restricted reception/front counter services (in accordance with applicable WorkSafe guidelines), from Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. with an hour 4 Page 9 of 188 Request for Decision - Resolution Required Pursuant to Ministerial Order...

Request for Decision Resolution Required Pursuant to Ministerial Order No. M192

lunch closure. (For clarity, the preferred method for document delivery remains to be by electronic transmission, regular mail or Canada Post courier);

• In all other respects, SLRD operations continue in accordance with Stage 1 Operations described in the above table.

Options

(1) Approve the Recommendation as set out above (Preferred Option)

(2) Make revisions to the proposed resolution.

(3) Other, as per Committee direction.

Follow-Up Action

If the Recommendation is approved, staff will continue to work towards in person public attendance at Board and Committee meetings if possible.

Dear Vivian Birch-Jones, Carol Camille and the Women's Leadership Council,

Thank you so much for your contributions to running the Lillooet Owl Bus between Whistler and Kamloops, with stops and hop on/off options along Highway 99 (Sea to Sky North). We re-started this service on Aug. 2, 2020 and will continue, as long as COVID-19 permits. Right now buses are allowed to run but are not required to do so. Owl Bus is running its full service. The new-to-me bus will replace the Blazer during October and the website will be on line as soon as possible. Lillooet Ride Share is the web site till then.

One example of how the service works is that a young woman is learning about her ancestors by going to stay with her elders weekly, travelling from Mt. Currie to Lillooet and points north. People in the Sea to Sky corridor are choosing the hop on/off option as well. Some people have also reunited with their families via Kamloops, which they were not able to do during the spring and summer. Every customer has a story.

Thank you very much for your previous support of Owl Bus. I hope to continue this service for some time and I look forward to working with you ongoing.

All best,

Jill Stainsby

Hon. George Heyman Minister Responsible for BC Parks Via: email [email protected]

Re: Marble Canyon Park’s Outdated Management Plan (1996) and Management Direction Statement (2003)

We the undersigned are growingly concerned about the lack of attention given by the Provincial government with respect to the unique features of the Marble Canyon Provincial Park. As public use of the park increases, especially this summer as British Columbians are stay-cationing, the lake is undergoing increasing human pressure.

The lack of public washrooms, safe parking along HWY 99, invasive species control, and control of wave damage from high speed boats and watercraft are a few examples of concern.

Michael Blackstock submitted a draft set of proposed operational principles (attached) to Peter Weilandt, Park Regional Planner in 2011, to inform an update to draft management plan which has been put on hold for the past nine years. Recent communication from Mr. Weilandt states:

“Unfortunately there has been no progress on Marble Canyon. It still stands at about 3rd in line as a priority.”

We the undersigned are a property owner, divers, and scientists who all greatly respect Pavilion lake, which is a Canadian and global treasure. We thus find it unacceptable that the management of the park has slipped to unacceptable standards, for a world class ecological park.

Pavilion Lake, and Kelly Lake as well, both host unique freshwater microbialites that have been providing new scientific insights since 1997. These microbialites are calcium carbonate rock structures with complex morphologies that have been developed since the last glaciation 10 to 12 thousand years ago. These structures have been the focus of scientific studies by researchers from across the globe. At last check, more than 25 scientific research papers have been published describing research results generated from the study of the microbialites, including a paper in the leading scientific journal “Nature” in 2000. Many of these papers have been cited by other researchers more than 20 times, demonstrating the scientific impact of this research. This research has spanned insights into the mechanisms of microbialite formation, which can inform interpretation of the geologic record of life on

Earth, to the physical and chemical requirements for the growth of these structures, and to identification of new species of microbes now being observed elsewhere.

The microbialites of Pavilion (and Kelly) lakes represent a unique natural resource seen in only a few locations on the Earth. And the depths and morphology of which are unique. They represent a unique scientific resource, and also a unique opportunity for public enjoyment via scuba diving, that should be protected and managed.

We the undersigned request the Province urgently update the Marble Canyon Management Plan (1996) and Pavilion Lake Management Direction Statement (2003) as the highest priority, and appropriate funding be put in place to implement the new plan. We encourage meaningful consultation with local First Nations, Squamish-Lillooet Regional District and residents, when developing these new plans.

Marble Canyon Park & Pavilion Lake Marine Park

Suggested Park Management Values, Objectives and Operation Management Principles, in order of priority

Values • Stakeholder groups value the Park and its resources for a variety of reasons. The Park will be managed to protect and maintain these values. o Water values o Conservation and Scientific Values; o Indigenous Cultural Values; o Historical Values; Tourism and Recreational Values; o Economic Values; and o Educational Values.

Objectives

1 Water • The ecological and hydrological condition of water catchments is maintained and, where desirable and feasible, improved, to ensure a continuing high quality and availability. With respect to the microbialite, water quality would seem a top priority. Contamination, including phosphorus addition due to ineffective sewage treatment, could have large impacts on the productivity/clarity and thus the microbialites. Develop an effective water management policy and monitoring program which addresses lake water withdrawals by water license holders which can significantly effect Pavilion Lake’s water levels. • Develop a dangerous goods spill emergency plan for trucks travelling along Hwy 99, including onsite storage of containment booms • Develop a Milfoil and zebra mussel prevention plan which addressed in particular the number of fishing derbies. • Inform fishers of the potential damage caused by downriggers. • Conduct water education workshops with the residents, to encourage sustainable use of water.

3 | Page

Page 50 of 188 Open Letter to Minister Heyman - Marble Canyon Park’s Outdated Managemen...

2 Education and research • The microbalites in Pavilion Lake are of international significance, and the scientific study of them is a high priority for the park. • Opportunities are provided for the community to acquire knowledge of, and to understand and enjoy Marble Canyon Park’s natural and cultural heritage, and to actively participate in protecting the values of the park. • To promote education, nature appreciation and scientific research on the marine, biological, geophysical and cultural values of the Pavilion Lake Marine Park and Marble Canyon Park. • A plan to demarcate boundaries clearly for the public is a high priority. • Explore possibility of the park to be affiliated with the National Park system

3 Natural Heritage: protecting landscapes, ecological systems and biodiversity • The biodiversity and geodiversity (ie: Karst) of Marble Canyon Park is conserved. • Ecosystems are managed so that they can continue to function and evolve naturally, and the integrity of landscapes and scenery is maintained.

4 Cultural heritage • Cultural heritage within Marble Canyon Park is identified, conserved, and where appropriate interpreted and promoted to retain and foster community associations and an appreciation of the past. LAN OF MANAGEMENT 2010

5 Fire and Forest Health • Fire management strategies integrate fire protection, water supply and conservation objectives and, to provide guidance for management, are supported by an effective research and monitoring program. • Fire management strategies create a mosaic of areas across the park with differing fire histories and a consequent diversity of vegetation age-classes and fuel loads. • Forest health treatment strategy for chemical applications on park and private holdings within park boundaries

6 Recreation • Post boat speed signs on shore at the narrows of the lake, as soon as possible to ensure swimmer safety.

4 | Page

Page 51 of 188 Open Letter to Minister Heyman - Marble Canyon Park’s Outdated Managemen...

• Marble Canyon Park provides a variety of sustainable recreation opportunities that are consistent with the protection of the park’s natural and cultural heritage values and water supply catchments. • An electric motor only gradual phase in plan developed for Pavilion Lake in consultation with residents and local fishers. For example, in year one, non-residents could not use two cycle gas powered motors. In years 2-5 residents could only use 4 cycle and electric motors. In years six and beyond only electric boat motors could be used on the lake. • Build a hiking trail to the Chimney Rock. • Build safe lake viewpoints along Hwy 99 by relocating HWY 99. 7 Community partnerships • Partnerships and collaborative programs are fostered to effectively involve park residents, First Nations and the community in a range of park management activities. • Draft a commercial tourism development plan for private land within the park boundaries that is consistent with the Park objectives, values and operating principles • Draft a sewage management plan for private land within the park boundaries that is consistent with the Park objectives, values and operating principles.

Operational management Principles

Systems for operational management are developed to follow the principles, which are consistent with the values and objectives, are outline below: The management objectives, policies and actions contained in this management plan incorporate the following principles, which provide a guide to managers in changing circumstances and as new issues arise:

• Water-first principle: As the health of the park is directly linked to the health of the water within the park, planning and management decisions should first evaluate whether they will be positive, neutral or negative impacts on microbialites, water quality and quantity. • Precautionary principle: Planning and management decisions need to be made in line with the precautionary approach. In other words, where there are threats of serious or irreversible environmental damage, lack of full

5 | Page

Page 52 of 188 Open Letter to Minister Heyman - Marble Canyon Park’s Outdated Managemen...

scientific certainty should not be used as a reason for postponing measures to prevent environmental degradation. In addition, any resource development in the immediate vicinity of the Park would warrant and impel Park staff to participate in environmental assessments, that my in particular effect water inside the park. • Indigenous collaboration: Decisions are made in cooperation with Indigenous peoples to respect the intent of the United Nations Declaration for the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). • Inter-generational and intra-generational equity: The present generation should ensure that the health, diversity and productivity of the environment is maintained or enhanced for the benefit of future generations. Decisions affecting current generations should be socially equitable. • Environmental stewardship: This is the recognition and acceptance that responsibility for protecting the values of the park extends beyond the managing agency to include public and private agencies with responsibilities in the park, visitors, neighbours and the general community. • Limits of acceptable disturbance: This is the acknowledgement that all human activities and uses of the park result in some degree of impact, and of the need to manage such disturbances within physical and social impact thresholds (though these may be difficult to determine). It is important to separate inconsequential or trivial impacts from those that are serious, irreversible or cumulative, and where necessary devise means to assist such determination e.g. by monitoring. • Adaptive/experimental management: Research, monitoring, new knowledge and the outcomes of performance evaluation should continually inform management, with policies adjusted accordingly. • Environmentally Green Park Infrastructure. Buildings, signage, lighting and park building materials would be sourced from environmentally sustainable providers. Recycling and reusing practices would be in place. • Best practice: Knowledge, skills and management practices are continually improved by keeping up-to-date with new technology and ideas. • Community participation: This is the recognition that the public has a right to participate in the decision-making processes concerning the park and partnerships and collaborative programs that support the management plan should be fostered.

6 | Page

Page 53 of 188 Open Letter to Minister Heyman - Marble Canyon Park’s Outdated Managemen...

• Education: This is the recognition that education is essential to promote an understanding and appreciation of the park’s values and encourages individuals to take personal responsibility for protecting those values. Interpretation is an important component of education. • Levels of significance: This is the understanding that park values have varying levels of significance and this will also vary throughout the park. This will need to be taken into account when making decisions. • Transparency and accountability: This is the recognition that decision- making processes, and the environmental and organisational performance of land managers and other authorities are open to public scrutiny.

15. The risk of substantial damage due to vandalism shall be a risk borne by the donor. If there are sufficient funds remaining on account of maintenance for the balance of the Term such that the Commemorative Object may be repaired, then the Committee may elect to approve the repair subject to the donor replenishing the maintenance account to the extent required. If the Commemorative Object requires replacement due to such damage, the donor shall have the option of paying all associated costs to do so, or may elect to relinquish the donation site to the SLRD and cease any continuation of the donation.

16.

Land Use Contract Discharge Bylaw No. 1687-2020

Date of Meeting: October 14, 2020/October 28, 2020

Recommendations:

THAT Bylaw No. 1687-2020, cited as “Squamish-Lillooet Regional District Land Use Contract Authorization Bylaw No. 143, 1978, Discharge Bylaw No. 1687-2020” be read a first and second time;

Relevant Policies:

Land Use Contract Authorization Bylaw No. 143, 1978 (the “LUC Bylaw” also known as the Marmot Land Use Contract); Squamish-Lillooet Regional District Zoning Bylaw No. 670, 1999 (the “Zoning Bylaw”); Upper Bridge River Valley Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 608, 1996 (the “OCP Bylaw”).

Key Information:

Land Use Contract Authorization Bylaw No. 143, 1978 governs permitted uses and established regulations for 69 properties located in Bralorne, in Electoral Area A of the SLRD. Land use contracts were allowed in B.C. between 1971 and 1978 as a site specific, contractual arrangement between local governments and landowners. The intent was to allow more flexibility than traditional zoning, however some property owners under the LUC Bylaw have expressed concerns that in regards to limitations to economic development.

In 2014, the Local Government Act was amended to establish an automatic termination of all land use contracts by June 30, 2024, giving local governments time to ensure that zoning and other bylaws are in place when the land use contracts terminate. The primary underlying zoning that applies to the properties under LUC Bylaw No. 143 is Rural Resource 2 (8 ha), with several properties zoned Residential 1 and Commercial. These zones permit many of the same uses outlined in the LUC Bylaw but with fewer restrictions regarding certain uses, as well as much more detailed descriptions in reference to what each use entails. For instance, Home Industry is a permitted use on properties of 8 ha or larger that are under the Rural Resource 2 (8 ha) zone, which includes businesses that manufacture, process, or repair goods and materials. Bed and Breakfast is another use which is excluded from the LUC Bylaw, but permitted in the underlying Rural Resource 2 (8 ha) and Residential 1 zoning on properties of any size. The Bed and Breakfast use allows nightly accommodations for up to 4 bedrooms within a single- family dwelling. The LUC Bylaw also includes outdated and unnecessary provisions in regards

Page 64 of 188 Request for Decision - Marmot Land Use Contract Discharge Bylaw No. 1687... Request for Decision Land Use Contract Discharge Bylaw No. 1687-2020, Area A

to agriculture and pet ownership, prohibiting animal husbandry or ownership of more than one cat and one dog per parcel.

The legislation also authorizes local governments to enact bylaws terminating land use contracts. There are two primary ways to discharge a land use contract – 1. by agreement between the local government and the owner of any parcel under a land use contract, resulting in immediate discharge upon adoption of bylaw; 2. blanket discharge of any given land use contract from all affected properties, without owner consent, resulting in underlying zoning taking effect 1 year after adoption. In order to avoid the 1 year waiting period associated with the blanket discharge of a land use contract, the SLRD is proposing to discharge the Marmot LUC from parcels where owner consent is obtained.

As per section 546 of the Local Government Act, a land use contract may only be discharged with the agreement of the owner of any property that is described in the bylaw as being covered by the amendment. On June 24, 2020, the SLRD sent out an information letter to owners of 69 lots that are currently under the LUC bylaw, which also included a consent form. Property owners were instructed to send back a completed consent form to indicate interest in removing the LUC Bylaw in favour of the underlying zoning. Overall, the SLRD received consent to discharge the LUC Bylaw from 22 of 69 lots. The remaining 47 lots will continue to be subject to the LUC Bylaw until June 30, 2024 when all land use contracts will be automatically terminated as per section 548 of the Local Government Act.

The proposed Squamish-Lillooet Regional District Land Use Contract Authorization Bylaw No. 143, 1978, Discharge Bylaw No. 1687-2020 (the “Proposed Bylaw”), as attached, proposes to discharge the LUC Bylaw from title of 22 lots, and, once discharged from the LUC, these 22 lots will be subject to the Zoning Bylaw.

The Proposed Bylaw does not need to be referred to any agencies, and can be given first and second reading at this time. As the OCP Bylaw encourages discharging Bylaw 143, 1978 to ensure future planning and development is carried out in a logical and efficient manner, staff recommends that the public hearing be waived and that the waiver be advertised as per s.464(2) Local Government Act. After the Board gives third reading of the Proposed Bylaw, the Proposed bylaw will be sent to the Ministry of Transportation & Infrastructure (MOTI) for their approval as per Section 52 of the BC Transportation Act.

Options:

(1) Give first and second readings to the Proposed Bylaw, and waive the public hearing. Advertise the waiver of the public hearing as required by the Local Government Act.

(2) Do not give first and second readings to the Proposed Bylaw and/or do not waive the public hearing, and refer back to staff for more information.

(3) Other, as determined by the Board.

Preferred Option: Option 1 is the preferred option as it reflects the wishes of the owners of 22 strata lots to replace the LUC Bylaw with the Zoning Bylaw. As the Proposed Bylaw aligns with the OCP Bylaw, the public hearing can be waived.

LAND USE CONTRACT DISCHARGE BYLAW NUMBER 1687-2020 Page 2 Page 68 of 188 Information Report - Ponderosa Estates Land Use Contract Bylaw No. 117, ...

INFORMATION REPORT Ponderosa Estates Land Use Contract Bylaw No. 117, 1977 and McGillivray Fall Land Use Contract Bylaw No. 87, 1976: Termination and SLRD Zoning Amendments

Meeting date: October 14, 2020 /October 28, 2020

To: SLRD Electoral Area Directors / SLRD Board of Directors

PURPOSE: The purpose of this staff report is to inform the EAD/Board of the provincial requirements associated with land use contract termination and the proposed zoning approach for Ponderosa Estates and McGillivray Falls.

RELEVANT POLICIES: Land Use Contract Bylaw No. 117, 1977 Land Use Contract Bylaw No. 87, 1976 Squamish-Lillooet Regional District Zoning Bylaw No. 765, 2002

KEY ISSUES/CONCEPTS: In 2014, the provincial government amended the Local Government Act to terminate all land use contracts as of June 30, 2024. Local governments are required to have zoning bylaws in place by June 30, 2022 that will apply to the land once the land use contracts are terminated. Once land use contracts are terminated, only the zoning will apply. This will result in non-conforming uses, as the underlying zoning for Ponderosa Estates and McGillivray Falls is Rural 1 (RR1) - which does not allow for the level of development currently on the property. Under this non-conforming situation, if a fire were to occur there would be no opportunity to rebuild.

To address the provincial requirements and non-conforming situation of the current underlying zoning, SLRD staff are proposing zoning amendments for Ponderosa Estates and McGillivray Falls. The proposed zoning amendments build on previous work completed by SLRD staff.

DISCUSSION: In 2016, the SLRD worked on new zoning for Ponderosa Estates and McGillivray Falls. Please see Appendix A and B for this DRAFT zoning. A contract planner named Ian Cooper was working on the zoning, but due to complications with the larger Area C Zoning project, the SLRD had to put the zoning amendments on hold. The proposed staff-initiated zoning amendment processes would begin fall 2020.

Scope of Projects The key purpose of the zoning amendments is to address the provincial requirements for land use contract termination and the non-conforming situation of the current underlying zoning. The zoning amendments will replace the underlying Rural 1 zone with a zone that reflects the development on the property. For clarity, no changes to what is currently provided for under LUC

Page 69 of 188 Information Report - Ponderosa Estates Land Use Contract Bylaw No. 117, ... INFORMATION REPORT Ponderosa Estates Land Use Contract Bylaw No. 117, 1977 and McGillivray Fall Land Use Contract Bylaw No. 87, 1976: Termination and SLRD Zoning Amendments

117 or LUC 87 will be contemplated under these staff-initiated projects. Additionally, the SLRD is not proposing to discharge LUC 117 or LUC 87. Rather the new zoning will address the non- conforming issue of the current zoning, and once the land use contracts terminate in 2024, the new zoning will be the land use regulation in place.

Ponderosa Estates The zoning amendment will reflect the DRAFT zoning previously prepared for Ponderosa Estates and supported by the strata, which mirrors what is currently provided for under Land Use Contract Bylaw No. 117 (LUC 117). The underlying zoning that applies to Ponderosa Estates is Rural 1 (RR1) and does not allow for the current level of development on the property.

RR Pon – Ponderosa Guest Ranch Zone – Summary of New Zoning • The intent of the Ponderosa Guest Ranch (RR Pon) Zone is to provide for residential development consistent with the original Land Use Contract and to protect the integrity and amenity of residential community. • Permitted uses provide for one single family dwelling per strata lot, trailers (if specified requirements are met), an accessory building, and the keeping of not more than 2 boarder or lodgers. • Total Floor Area of all buildings on a site must not exceed 375 m2. • No building shall exceed 7.62 metres in height. • Provisions are also included for Common Areas and Greenbelt Areas.

Please see Appendix A for further details.

26 properties are subject to the Ponderosa Estates LUC 117. SLRD staff have been in communications with the Ponderosa Estates strata notifying of the proposed zoning amendment as well as associated process and timeframes.

McGillivray Falls The zoning amendment will reflect the DRAFT zoning previously prepared for McGillivray Falls, which mirrors what is currently provided for under Land Use Contract Bylaw No. 87 (LUC 87). The underlying zoning that applies to McGillivray Falls is Rural 1 (RR1) and does not allow for the current level of development on the property. RR McG – McGillivray Falls Zone – Summary of New Zoning • The intent of the McGillivray Falls (RR McG) Zone is to provide for residential development consistent with the original Land Use Contract and to protect the integrity and amenity of the residential community. • The maximum of private sites permitted is forty-three. • Permitted uses include not more than one house or cottage per private site, one single family dwelling or mobile home, and an accessory building of not more than 10 m2. • Provisions are also included for Common Sites, Works Areas, Lodge Area, and Greenbelt Areas. Please see Appendix B for further details.

43 properties are subject to the McGillivray Falls LUC 87. SLRD staff have been in communications with McGillivray Falls Recreation Retreat Ltd. (MFRR) notifying of the proposed zoning amendment as well as associated process and timeframes.

The purpose of the proposed zoning amendment is to give the McGillivray Falls strata underlying zoning so that they are not left in a non-conforming land use situation once the land use contract terminates. The work is being carried out by the SLRD pro bono. Note that some members of MFRR approached SLRD staff in June 2020 seeking amendments to the proposed zoning in order to facilitate a revision of the site plan/lot layout as well as safe storage of propane. Since the initial discussions in June, SLRD staff has been made aware that there may not be consensus within MFRR as to these changes. Thus, the SLRD is not considering any changes from what is currently provided for under the land use contract. MFRR may seek changes to the existing regulations and site plan through a future paid zoning amendment application.

FOLLOW UP ACTION: Prepare Zoning Amendment Bylaws for first reading.

REQUEST FOR DECISION Ruscheinski, Gun Lake (Area A) DVP Application #151

Meeting Dates: October 14 and October 28, 2020

To: SLRD EAD and Board of Directors

Owner: Jerry Ruscheinski Applicant/Agent: N/A

Location: 723 Lakeview Rd, Gun Lake, Electoral Area A

Legal description: DISTRICT LOT 8442 LILLOOET DISTRICT EXCEPT PLAN H16902 (PID: 019-115-083)

OCP Designation: Zoning: ALR DP Area: Residential R2 Zone – Residential Status: N/A Zone II No

RECOMMENDATION:

THAT the Chief Administrative Officer or Corporate Officer be authorized to execute the Permit.

KEY ISSUES/CONCEPTS:

The property owner is in the process of obtaining a building permit in order to authorize an accessory building for garage and storage use. The property is located at Gun Lake and is a “hooked” parcel (meaning that the property is split in two by Lakeview Road). The proposed construction is located on the portion of the parcel that abuts the lake (See Appendices A and B)

Due to a desire for additional storage and to accommodate a specific roof pitch, the property owner is seeking a height variance of 2.11 m, from the permitted maximum 4 m to 6.11 m.

Page 78 of 188 Request for Decision - Ruscheinski, Gun Lake (Area A) DVP Application #1... Request for Decision Ruscheinski, Gun Lake (Area A) DVP Application #151

BACKGROUND:

Mr. Ruscheinski has previously applied for a height variance of 3.16 m in year 2017, which was taken to the EAD Committee but not moved forward to the Board agenda when it was confirmed that the building was encroaching onto a neighboring Crown Land parcel. In 2018, Mr. Ruscheinski applied once more for a variance of 2.11 m and was no longer encroaching on Crown Land, which was rejected by the Board of Directors due to neighbour complaints about potential illegal uses of the proposed accessory building. The current application submitted in 2019 is to request a 2.11 m height variance once again.

The requested permit would vary the maximum height provisions for the Residential Zone 2 of the Squamish- Lillooet Regional District [Electoral Area A] Zoning Bylaw No. 670, 1999 for the above noted property from 4 m to 6.11 m. Proposed building plans are attached as Appendix C.

PROPERTY ANALYSIS:

The subject 2.21 ha property is zoned R2 – Residential Zone II in the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District Electoral Area A Zoning Bylaw No. 670, 1999 and designated Residential in the Upper Bridge River Valley Official Community Plan No. 608, 1996. The property is within the Riparian Protection Development Permit Area, but does not require a Development Permit as the proposed building envelope does not come within 30 m of a waterbody or watercourse.

The maximum permitted combined gross floor area of all accessory buildings in the R2 – Residential II zone for a parcel 2.21 ha in size is 400 m2 as specified in Section 4.11, Table 1. Section 4.11.2 also specifies that “Except where specifically permitted, an accessory building shall not be used as a dwelling or for providing overnight accommodation.” Aside from the proposed garage of 323.02 m2 and the existing dwelling, there are two wooden sheds that total 11 m2 located on the property. There is no limit on the number of accessory buildings on a site, and the proposed garage sizing is within the allowable gross floor area.

Neighbourhood and Landscape

The subject property is located on the shore of Gun Lake and characterized by moderate tree coverage and decreasing slope in the direction of the shore. The garage is proposed to be built in the south portion of the property, which borders on crown land, with the nearest neighbouring single family dwelling being approximately 50 meters away. Sightline impact on the neighbors is not a foreseeable concern because the proposed garage will be surrounded by tree cover on all four sides (see Appendix B). It is also of note that three other properties along Gun Lake have built structures similar to the proposed garage and have previously obtained height variances ranging from 2 to 3.2 meters for the same purpose.

Public Notification Responses

The Planning Procedures Policy No. 14-2019 states as follows:

6. Despite the notice requirement of 10 days (as set out in section 499 of the Local Government Act), the SLRD will provide notice of 28 days to the subject property's neighbours for a Development Variance Permit application, prior to the Board’s consideration of such application.

Page 79 of 188 Request for Decision - Ruscheinski, Gun Lake (Area A) DVP Application #1... Request for Decision Ruscheinski, Gun Lake (Area A) DVP Application #151

Notification letters were mailed to property owners within 50 m of the subject property on September 30, 2020 (i.e. 28 days prior to the meeting date at which the application will be considered by the Board).

Staff will provide all comments from neighbours to the Board of Directors meeting on October 28, 2020.

OPTIONS:

Option 1 (Preferred Option)

Support the variance on the condition that the owner sign a s. 219 covenant explicitly stating that the second level of the accessory building is to be used solely for storage and is not be used as overnight accommodation.

Option 2 Do not support the DVP application as presented.

Option 3 Offer unconditional support for the application and issue the DVP as presented.

A draft of the proposed DVP has been attached for the Board’s information.

IMPLICATIONS:

Should the DVP application be rejected, the applicant will have to re-design the building to meet the allowable zoning bylaw height regulations.

FOLLOW UP ACTION:

Advise applicant of resolution.

1 Page 97 of 188 Request for Decision - Northern Development Initiative Trust: 2021 Grant...

Request for Decision Northern Development Initiative Trust: 2021 Grant Writing Support

NDIT’s service region. The program is intended to help communities access more funding dollars to support economic development projects and other initiatives. NDIT provides a total of $432,000 in annual funding to support 54 grant writing positions across central and northern BC each year. There are a limited number of spots available in the program each year. Eligible organizations: Municipalities, regional districts and registered status First Nations bands Maximum funding available: $8,000.00 (The rebate covers up to 76% of a grant writer’s wages for a minimum of 400 hours of employment) Intake period & deadline: Eligible governments can apply for the following year’s funding beginning on November 1 and no later than January 31, 2020. Reporting deadline: A final report must be provided no later than February 28, 2021 at which time NDIT staff will review and verify the reporting and, based on acceptance, issue a rebate cheque of up to $8.000. Eligible grant writing positions (minimum 400 hours): • Dedicated full-time, part-time or on-demand grant writer (staff or contract position) • Additional hours for an existing full-time or part-time staff member where the grant writing portion of the job is at least 30% of the total workload. A copy of the job description specifying the percentage of time allocated to each of the combined roles must be provided to NDIT to be eligible for the rebate. Ineligible positions: • Local government combined economic development / grant writer positions where the position is approved under the EDCB program • Salary or contract positions for: o Combined CAO / grant writer o Combined Chief Financial Officer / grant writer o Combined Band Administrator / grant writer

2 Page 98 of 188 Request for Decision - Northern Development Initiative Trust: 2021 Grant...

Request for Decision Northern Development Initiative Trust: 2021 Grant Writing Support

o Combined positions where grant writing is less than 30% of the total workload. Ineligible costs: • GST and PST • Costs incurred in time periods outside the year approved for funding support • CPP, EI, WCB and other benefits, bonuses or allowances, including vehicle, phone or living expenses • Costs related to recruiting, hiring or relocating • Travel, office expenditures, and any additional costs other than wages Performance measures required: • Payroll costs for the grant writer employee / contractor verifying a minimum of $10,500 in wages and a minimum of 400 hours of employment • Verification of a minimum of $200,000 in grants applied for by the grant writer during the term of employment and approved calendar year (must be submitted using NDIT’s template) • Updates on funding application statuses marked as pending made in prior years where a grant writer was financially supported under NDIT’s Grant Writing Support program Grant Writing Support Program From 2014 to 2018, the SLRD entered into a Rebate Funding Agreement with the BRVCA in Electoral Area A to designate responsibility for the program to the BRVCA, including hiring and supervising the grant writer as well as paying the grant writer’s wages. The BRVCA was also responsible for paying the minimum community contribution of $2,500 (i.e. the grant only pays 76% of the costs up to $8,000). It should be noted that the BRVCA applied for (and was awarded) a grant-in-aid from SLRD Area A Select Funds in January 2018 to cover the 2016 and 2017 community contribution for the position ($3,724 in 2016 and $3,480 in 2017). In 2019, the BRVCA was awarded Grants in Aid in the amount of $5,250 from Area A Select Funds and $1,250 from Area B Select Funds. Grant Writing Support Program – 2019 Funding Allocation:

3 Page 99 of 188 Request for Decision - Northern Development Initiative Trust: 2021 Grant...

Request for Decision Northern Development Initiative Trust: 2021 Grant Writing Support

For 2019, the BRVCA confirmed that it would like to continue to be responsible for the SLRD’s Grant Writing Support program and at that time, the grant writer’s role was expanded to include grant writing on behalf of the SLRD Electoral Area B, in addition to Electoral Area A. Previously, the grant writer focused exclusively on grant writing for the benefit of Electoral Area A. For 2019, the SLRD entered into a Funding Agreement with the Bridge River Valley Community Association, with Electoral Areas A and B responsible for paying the minimum community contribution required of $1,250 each (for a total of $2,500) with SLRD Electoral Area A further providing an additional $4,000 bringing the total number of hours available to support the grant writer for Area A projects to 400; the total number of hours available to support the grant writer for Area B projects would be 200. In 2019, the grant writer applied for 34 grants, totalling $521,939. Of those applications, 18 were approved, totalling $158,948 awarded. Nine applications were declined, two were retracted and five are still pending. Grant Writing Support Program – 2020 Funding Allocation: The model from 2019 continued for 2020, with Electoral Areas A and B each contributing $1,250 (for a total of $2,500), and the SLRD successfully applying for $8,000 from NDIT, with those amounts (total = $10,500) split evenly between Electoral Areas A and B, with the BRVCA again contracting its grant writer to perform grant writing services for both Electoral Areas. A further $4,000 was provided from Electoral Area A. Options: 1. (Preferred) As set out in the Recommendations presented above. 2. Do not apply for the 2021 Grant Writing Support grant. 3. Other option, as determined by the Board.

Policy Considerations:

• Regional Growth Strategy o Goal #4 – Achieve a sustainable economy o Goal #7 – Create healthy and safe communities o Goal #8 – Enhance relationships with aboriginal communities

4 Page 100 of 188 Request for Decision - Northern Development Initiative Trust: 2021 Grant...

Request for Decision Northern Development Initiative Trust: 2021 Grant Writing Support

o Goals #9 – Improve collaboration among jurisdictions • Integrated Sustainability Plan o Fostering balanced, equitable and sustainable economic development is noted as a key element in the ISP’s Vision statement. o Relevant strategies include: Economic; Food and Agriculture; Recreation, Leisure, Arts, Culture and Heritage; Communications and Engagement. • Economic Development Assessment, Strategy and Action Plan (Northern SLRD) – Goals include: o Improve and strengthen communication and planning o Enhance economic development services o Develop an environment to maintain and encourage business growth and expansion o Support the growth of the agriculture industry o Support and expand tourism o Enhance and improve infrastructure o Strengthen and expand partnerships

Financial Considerations:

Grant Writing Support Program

• The Grant Writing Support rebate covers up to 76% of a grant writer’s wages for a minimum of 400 hours of employment. To achieve the maximum rebate of $8,000, the community must contribute a minimum of $2,500 in wages. Electoral Area A further contributes $4,000 for this program. Should the Board direct staff to proceed with an application, the SLRD would enter into a Rebate Funding Agreement with the BRVCA and/ or other third parties that would assign responsibility to meet the minimum program requirements to those entities.

Organizational Considerations:

• Staff will provide support, as needed, as part of ongoing duties, and will work with the contracted grant writer to provide all necessary reporting.

Follow up Actions / Communications Plan:

Page 106 of 188 Request for Decision - Electoral Area C Agricultural Advisory Committee ... Request for Decision Electoral Area C Agricultural Advisory Committee (AAC) – Terms of Reference Amendment

to review its Terms of Reference (ToR) and proposed bylaw amendment with incoming AAC members at a subsequent meeting.

The Area C AAC met on September 16, 2020, and changes proposed by Amendment Bylaw 1690-2020 were reviewed, discussed and supported. This report is to request a decision on proposed amendments to the Area C AAC Terms of Reference (ToR), which are the result of a comprehensive review by staff and AAC members. The Area C AAC’s ToR were last amended in 2012, and a complete review of the bylaw has not been done since it was adopted in 2003.

DISCUSSION The purpose of the Area C Agricultural Advisory Committee is to provide comments and recommendations to the Board on agricultural issues within the Pemberton Valley and other parts of Electoral Area C referred to the Committee by the Board. This could include SLRD or Agricultural Land Commission applications, as well as bylaw and policy development on agricultural issues.

Planning Procedures Policy No. 14-2019 At the December 18, 2019 Board meeting, the Board approved Planning Procedures Policy No. 14-2019, which includes the following provisions:

1. In respect of a significant development application or a development application with significant policy issues, Staff will prepare a staff report for the Board’s consideration at a Committee of the Whole meeting for initial review, and for subsequent review as necessary.

2. In respect of development applications, any presentations will be made by Staff to the Board.

3. An applicant(s) and/or a member(s) of the public will not be able to present to the Board and/or be scheduled as a delegation(s) regarding a development application, however, an applicant(s) may respond to questions if requested to do so by the Board.

Amendment Bylaw 1690-2020 Squamish-Lillooet Regional District Electoral Area C Agricultural Advisory Committee Bylaw No. 848-2003, Amendment Bylaw No. 1690-2020 is attached as Appendix A.

The following provides a summary of proposed changes:

• References to the “Pemberton Fringe” have been removed as this terminology is no longer relevant. • References to the Agricultural Land Reserve Use, Subdivision and Procedure Regulation have been amended to refer to the current Agricultural Land Reserve Use Regulation; • A reference to building permit applications for additional farm help has been removed because additional residential uses trigger an application through the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) and ALC applications are already reviewed by the AAC;

Page 107 of 188 Request for Decision - Electoral Area C Agricultural Advisory Committee ... Request for Decision Electoral Area C Agricultural Advisory Committee (AAC) – Terms of Reference Amendment

• All references to the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District Procedural Bylaw No. 658, 1998 have been updated to refer to Squamish-Lillooet Regional District Procedure Bylaw No. 1499-2016 (the current bylaw); • References to the Ministry of Agriculture and Food have been amended to refer to the current Ministry name – Ministry of Agriculture; • A new provision for the Board being able to remove a member who misses three consecutive meetings in the absence of extenuating circumstances upon the recommendation of the Electoral Area C Director; • The section on “Meetings Open to the Public” has been amended as follows: o To add that members of the public may be invited to speak at the discretion of the Committee Chair, provided that section 3 of the Planning Procedures Policy No. 14-2019 (as set out above) is complied with; o To delete the provision that applicants needed to contact the Committee Chair regarding attending a meeting and making representations (as it is the practice of staff to notify the applicants of all meetings where their application will be under consideration), recognizing that section 3 of the Planning Procedures Policy No. 14-2019 prevents such applicants from being able to speak or make presentations (i.e. the Committee does not have the authority to allow that person to speak, only the Board does); o To add that members of the public may make representations to the Committee on all matters within the Committee’s mandate; • The provision for meeting minutes has been amended to reflect the opportunity for review by the Committee Chair (but not the entire Committee) prior to draft minutes being circulated to the SLRD Board, consistent with the procedure followed for other Committees of the Board; • A new provision for circulation of minutes if possible to all members of the Committee within one week of being received by the Board has been added to facilitate the timely review of minutes by all members, who will have the opportunity to comment at the next AAC meeting; • A new provision to clarify that the Committee must comply with applicable policies. • The “Conflict of Interest” provision has been amended for consistency with the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District Procedure Bylaw No. 1499-2016.

DIRECTORS REPORT EAD MEETING, OCT 14th, 2020

Tony Rainbow, Area D

BRITANNIA BEACH PLAYGROUND

There is a small children’s playground in the upper part of the village that has fallen into disrepair and is seldom used. It is situated on SLRD land, part of which has a right of way in favour of BC Hydro. In recent years there has been an increase in the number of children living in Britannia.

Consideration was given to renovating the existing equipment but we have determined that this is not a feasible proposition. The playground was designed for 2 to 4 year olds and there is nothing to challenge the 5 to 9 year olds. Also, the existing equipment is not suitable for renovation and upgrade.

The community is in favour of taking out all equipment and fencing and starting again from the bare lot. This will include the need for equipment such as a back hoe and fence post driller plus of course all of the new playground supplies.

The community has been engaged in some fund raising but is finding it very difficult in these times. Prospective donors are turning them away because they do not have available funds.

I would like to commit up to $100,000 from Gas Tax / Community Works Funds to this project. I have discussed this with Suzanne and she says, that as we will be the owners of the facility, she can manage the invoicing and anything unspent will simply remain in the Gas Tax account. Ongoing maintenance costs associated with the playground will be charged to the Britannia Beach Open Spaces / Parks cost centre so there is no need for development of a new one.

Britannia has had a rough couple of years with no grocery store, no community hall, and an ugly mess at the entrance to the village as the BODC development has stalled. I would like to create a good story and see this project go ahead as soon as possible so that the kids can have a new playground for next summer.

Please note that there is in excess of $800,000 in the Area D Gas Tax account (assuming that the snow making machine for WOP is approved: if not, there is $950,000. Plus this does not include any funds received in 2020.

ACTION

I would like to move:

That the EAD Committee recommend to the Board that $100,000 be allocated to the Britannia Beach Playground Project with all purchases and other expenditures to be handled by SLRD staff.

Page 118 of 188 Furry Creek Landscaping (Director Rainbow)

DIRECTORS REPORT EAD MEETING, OCTOBER 14h, 2020

Tony Rainbow, Area D

FURRY CREEK: LANDSCAPING

After considerable discussion within the community, we have finally agreed about the responsibility for landscaping the “gardens” along the dyke right of way.

In the future, no money from the Open Spaces budget will be allocated to the maintenance of the vegetation on the seaward side of the paved path. These “gardens” will be the responsibility of the Olivers Landing Strata Corporation.

Because this decision has been made late in the year, I am proposing to provide the Strata Corporation with funds to address some of the major issues. They will then be in a position to budget for adequate maintenance in the future.

We obtained a quote during the RFP process earlier in 2020 in the amount of $5,200 for periodic cuts along the right of way. This money, part of the Open Spaces tax requisition, was not spent and I am not proposing that we should spend it now as this is not the wish of the community.

I have discussed this with Angela Belsham and she is in agreement with this approach.

ACTION

I would like a resolution to allocate $5,200 from Area D Select Funds to be paid to Olivers Landing Strata Corporation as a one time grant-in-aid for landscaping. The O.L.S.Council are free to contract with whomever they wish to complete the work and SLRD staff will not be involved.

Please note: As I am a resident of Olivers Landing, I will be declaring a Conflict of Interest when this item is dealt with.

CleanBC Organic Infrastructure and Collection Program

The B.C. Government is announcing the launch of the CleanBC Organics Infrastructure and Collection Program (OICP). The OICP will reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by diverting increased amounts of organic waste from material that is currently being sent to landfills.

The OICP will support communities throughout BC, by investing up to $25.7 million in new, or expanded, organic waste processing infrastructure, and residential organic waste collection programs. The Province will contribute to up to two-thirds of eligible project costs, to facilitate the diversion and processing of organic waste.

Under the OICP, eligible applicants, such as eligible Indigenous governing bodies, regional districts and municipalities, will be able to apply for funding through two distinct project streams:

1. Organic Processing Infrastructure: Funding under this stream will support eligible applicants with the building of new, or the expansion of existing, organic waste processing infrastructure that will result in increased processing capacity. 2. Residential Curbside Collection: Funding under this stream will support eligible applicants in the development of new, or the expansion of existing, residential organic waste curbside collection programs that result in an increased amount of organic waste diverted from landfills. Under this stream, funding will be provided for program materials, such as the purchasing of curbside and/or kitchen collection bins, development of communication and educational outreach packages and/or programs, and the initial distribution of funded materials, to residents.

The application intake period for the project streams are:

Organic Processing Infrastructure stream: October 1, 2020, until January 14, 2021 [4:00 pm PST]; and, Residential Curbside Collection stream: October 1, 2020, until January 12, 2021 [4:00 pm PST].

If you have any questions regarding the program, please contact us by emailing [email protected].

Application Information

Information on applications, including the Program Guide, will be provided on October 1, 2020.

Chair Russell Mack Electoral Area Directors, SLRD

Dear Chair Mack,

Re: portal signage Area B

As you know earlier this year, I made a motion to have the Area B portal signage enhanced with messaging about ‘Respect rural neighbourhoods, travel responsibly, and leave no trace’. These signs are to be added to the Area B signs already at the entrances to Area B.

Staff have completed this work, and we have the approval of MOTI, but it has come to our attention that the existing signage for Area B is very worn and needs refreshing. I would like to do this as part of the project (thereby saving some trips for staff). I have sent a picture of a current sign as an example to CAO Melany Helmer.

Staff are currently looking at the costs of refreshing the original signs and we plan to remove them for that (as needed) when the new signs go up. For the EAD meeting October 14th I should have a quote on the costs of this additional signage work and I will make a motion at that meeting to have this done.

With respect,

Vivian Birch-Jones Director Electoral Area B of the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District

Dear Director DeMare:

RE: Grant-in-Aide Request for Domain and Website Hosting for 2021

The Gun Lake Ratepayers Association is seeking Grant-in-Aide funding of $336 to support maintaining our Domain name and Website hosting services for one year.

The Gun Lake Ratepayers Association Website is critical not only to its membership, but also to the public. The Website delivers up-to-date information on the Society, including its Constitution and By-Laws. It provides unlimited access to meeting minutes and important communications on water quality, drinking water testing, environmental and safety issues, and Industry resources, as well as links to news, events, and relevant community resources.

The Gun Lake Ratepayers Association is a registered not-for-profit Society in the Upper Bridge River Valley that serves the property owners of the Gun Lake Watershed. The Association was formed in 1971 and became a registered non-profit society in 1980 and is also a member of the BC Lake Stewardship Society (BCLSS).

In addition to protecting the watershed and promoting good watershed practices, the Gun Lake Ratepayers Association is environmentally responsible and community minded. We hold an annual Lake Clean Up and Picnic, and participate in the annual Secchi Dip In, which is a program where volunteer monitors gather environmentally important information on our lakes, rivers, and estuaries – we had the deepest reading of 21m in 2019 for BC! 2020 has been an unusual and challenging year for many individuals, families, and communities. The Gun Lake Ratepayers Association was able to contribute to the well-being of communities in the Bridge River Valley by supporting the Gold Bridge Foodbank Program.

If funding for this project is approved, the cheque should be made payable to the Gun Lake Ratepayers Association. Recognition to the SLRD Electoral Area Directors for supporting this project will include a

Dear Director Birch-Jones:

RE: Request for Funding Support - St'at'imc Cultural and Community Centre Feasibility Study and Business Plan

As discussed, the Lillooet Tribal Council is respectfully requesting funding of $15,000 from Electoral Area B of the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District to support the development of a feasibility study and business plan for a St'at'imc Cultural and Community Centre proposed for Lillooet.

This initiative is a collaboration between the five St'at'imc communities that are members of the Lillooet Tribal Council (Sekw'el'was, Xwisten, Ts'kw'aylaxw, Xaxli'p, and Tsalalh), the District of Lillooet, and the SLRD Electoral Areas A and B. The importance of this proposed cultural facility was reinforced in the 2019 updated Northern SLRD Economic Development Assessment, which also revealed the St'at'imc Cultural and Community Centre concept is supported by both St'at'imc and non-St'at'imc governments and organizations.

The business plan will be developed in two phases - Phase 1: Conceptual Design and Preliminary Feasibility Assessment, and Phase 2: Detailed Business Planning. Project activities will also include community engagement sessions with each of the St'at'imc Nation communities, as well as non Indigenous community stakeholders - a critical element in the planning of such a major project. Funding sources to support this project are identified below.

Funding Source Amount Confirmed Pending Potential Cariboo Chilcotin Coast Tourism Association (CCCTA) $20,000 x Northern Development Initiative Trust - Capital $10,000 x Investment Analysis Program Indigenous Tourism Association of Canada (ITAC) $25,000 x Squamish-Lillooet Regional District Electoral Area B $15,000 x Squamish-Lillooet Regional District Electoral Area A $15,000 x

Interior Savings Credit Union - Community $15,000 x Investment Fund $100,000

Cultural spaces are essential to every community. They serve a community's residents, attract tourists, enhance the business environment, and increase quality of life. The St'at'imc people have for many years considered the opportunity to create a shared space to gather and celebrate our culture and language. While primarily a gathering place for St'at'imc community members to share, learn, heal, and celebrate together, such a Cultural Centre also offers an opportunity to create an experience for non-Indigenous residents of Lillooet and visitors from around British Columbia, Canada and the world to learn of the St'at'imc people, our culture and values and our long-standing relationship with the land and waters here.

As you know, Tourism is a major contributor to Lillooet's economic base providing direct, indirect, and induced employment, benefiting all the communities in and around the District of Lillooet. Cultural and Heritage tourism is an increasingly popular segment of the Tourism Industry. The presence of an anchor attraction such as the St'at'imc Cultural and Community Centre could serve as an important catalyst to tourism growth and overall economic benefits. This is an exciting project with far-reaching advantages, and we look forward to working with you to see it through to its completion.

Your time and consideration of this request for funding of $15,000 for the development of a feasibility study and business plan for the proposed St'at'imc Cultural and Community Centre is great appreciated. Thank you. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you require additional information for this request or project.

The Mile “0” Riding Club is respectfully requesting Grant-in-Aide funding of $2,000 from Area B of the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District, Select Funds. The funds will be used to rebuild fencing on the grounds, main arena, and riding ring. Currently the fencing is rotting, and in some disrepair. The project will cost $7,538, of which the Mile “0” Riding Club has actively raised over $5,500. The project is also supported by more than $5,600 of in-kind contributions for labour, machine time, and dump truck costs – donated by club members and the local business community.

The Mile 0 Riding Club is a long-time community organization of Lillooet serving as a committee under the not-for-profit East Lillooet Recreation Society. The riding grounds are part of the East Lillooet Recreation Society lands on Airport Road off Highway 12. The Mile 0 Riding Club promotes horsemanship, provides a safe facility for members to ride, and hosts events of interest to the riding community as well as spectators.

The Mile 0 Riding Club typically holds gymkhana events, such as barrel racing, once a month throughout the summer months. This has been a great way for folks from the surrounding St’át’imc, ranching, and recreational riding communities to gather, socialize, and develop horsemanship. The grounds are also used for team roping, polocrosse, and open for members to ride. There has been focus this spring to expand the types of events and hopefully draw in new interest. In May 2020, the Mile 0 Riding Club held an open house and poker ride, which was well attended. Many local youths had an opportunity to receive coaching and ride a horse - for some, it was their first time!

Moving forward, we would like to be able to put on a basic horsemanship clinic. Horses are a lovable animal but can also be very intimidating; the clinics may be exactly what some horse owners need to develop the confidence and skills to get more use and enjoyment with their horses. They can also be fascinating and entertaining for anyone interested in coming out and watching. As we increase the diversity of events, we are hopeful that this will translate into increasing membership and opportunities for some to ride that may not otherwise get the chance. Our hope is that after sprucing up the riding grounds, and with increased usage, we will be able to save some funds and continue the upswing of involvement, engagement, and connection with our own community, and see more community members out riding horses. Having a well suited and safe facility is key in helping all this happen.

On behalf of the Mile 0 Riding Club, thank you for your time and consideration of this request for Grant-in-Aide funding of $2,000. If there is any leftover revenue, it will be put towards horsemanship clinics. If you require additional information about this request or the Mile 0 Riding Club, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Basil Deverell Mile 0 Riding Club

Dear Director DeMare:

RE: GRANT FUNDING FOR LAJOIE LAKE ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY AND ADMINISTRATION OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH

The BC Conservation Foundation (BCCF) has been asked by the Lajoie Lake Residents Association (LLRA) to administer the business aspects of the Lajoie Lake Scientific Research Project proposed to begin in May 2021. As such, the BC Conservation Foundation respectfully requests conditional grant funding support of up to $20,000 from the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District Area A Select Funds.

The total cost for this proposed project is $36,000, which includes a contingency of nearly $3,500. With BCCF as the proponent, grant funding request applications to leverage the project will be submitted to the Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation, the BC Hydro Fish and Wildlife Compensation Fund, and, as suggested by the BC Lake Stewardship Society, inquiries have been sent to World Wildlife Fund and Living Lakes Canada. Additionally, an application will be made to Canada Summer Jobs 2021 in hopes of a student wage subsidy. The project is also supported by in-kind contributions from BCIT, the Lajoie Lake Residents Association, and community volunteers.

Funding conditions would be based on the following considerations: that leverage funding is secured to balance the budget and ensure project completion that a graduate student will be positioned for either the 2021 or the 2022 season that Grant-in-Aide funding can be applied to the 2021 year, or carried forward to the 2022 year that unused Grant-in-Aide funds be returned to the SLRD Area A Select Funds

Importance of Lajoie Lake Lajoie Lake (known locally as Little Gun Lake) is a small lake in the Bridge River Valley located about six km west of the community of Gold Bridge and just southwest of Gun Lake, which is also known as Big Gun Lake. The two lakes together are known as the Gun Lakes, and both are recreational communities with a history of settlement dating back to the 1920s or even earlier.

Lajoie Lake is a part of the Bridge River and Gun Lake Watershed. Lajoie Lake is fed by six streams. It has a 65.8- hectare surface area and is drained by Lajoie Creek, which drains into Big Gun Lake and from that lake's northeastern end into Gun Creek. Lajoie Lake did have a rich history of hosting great trout fishing in both summer and winter; however, fish populations have steadily been declining over the years. Even though fishing is not optimal, Lajoie Lake remains an important resource for tourism and multi-season recreational activities such as canoeing, kayaking, skating, ice-fishing, and cross-country skiing. It is popular among outdoor enthusiasts, photographers, and is one of the sites used for the annual Bridge River Valley Winterfest. The public has free and unlimited access to the lake with the access point on the east side and conveniently located near Gun Lake West Road.

Topographical disruptions and declining conditions to the ecological environment, in the water bodies that constitute the greater watershed of the Gun Lake-Gold Bridge-Bralorne area, have been noted by the Lajoie Lake Residents Association and the public for some time. Some of the observed changes over time include the following: Head Office Regional Offices

In 2017 the LLRA commissioned and funded (with support from the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District Area A) an initial scientific examination of the situation by engaging Cascade Environmental Resources Group Ltd. to review data that had been collected over the years, and to assess whether the current conditions support the views and concerns of the LLRA. A report entitled Lajoie Lake: Report of Limnology Data Analysis and Anecdotal History (1930s-2017) was produced and submitted to the LLRA in January of 2018, but it was inconclusive. The report did, however, strongly recommend the application of a more comprehensive scientific study to methodically evaluate the situation, which leads us to this project.

Reputed provincial limnologist and world-renowned expert Dr. Ken Ashley, of the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) and Chair of the BC Rivers Institute paid a visit to Lajoie Lake over July 30-31, 2020, made a preliminary assessment, and enthusiastically agreed to direct the technical aspects of the project. His initial assessment was that the lake was in a state of Eutrophication. Eutrophication is defined as excessive richness of nutrients in a lake or other body of water, frequently due to runoff from the land, which causes a dense growth of plant life and death of animal life from lack of oxygen. The Lajoie Lake Residents Association has long suspected this process to be underway at Lajoie Lake. According to Dr. Ashley, since the lake is relatively small it is therefore very amenable to remedial programs that have been applied successfully on lakes in other parts of British Columbia that have suffered similar circumstances.

The Project The Lajoie Lake Residents Association is proposing further research on Lajoie Lake to follow up on the recommendations of the Cascade Environmental Research Group 2017/2018 Report. The objective of this proposed project is aimed at finding causal deleterious ecological relationships underway at Lajoie Lake (locally known as Little Gun Lake) and recommending methods to restore the lake to its former condition of nutrient levels.

A graduate student will be hired through the BC Conservation Foundation, and under the direction of Dr. Ken Ashley of BCIT, the student will work independently to carry out the scientific research. The student will collect sufficient water chemistry, phytoplankton and zooplankton depth stratified samples from the lake and major inlet and outlets at two-week intervals from ice-off to late August. The student will also conduct analyses of the LLRA’s ongoing data collections and historical records to assess the present trophic state of Lajoie Lake. Statistical data Head Office Regional Offices

BRITISH COLUMBIA CONSERVATION FOUNDATION collections and monitoring of Lajoie Lake have been ongoing for decades. Troy Van Loon of the LLRA has been voluntarily conducting regular tests for water clarity (Secchi Dish), dissolved oxygen, TGP test: total gas pressure (oxygen) and water temperature. This raw data collection, which demonstrates the LLRA’s dedication to the lake study, was praised by Dr. Ashley and will provide invaluable historical references for the proposed study.

Through the project activities, the student will determine if the lake is increasing in productivity and develop a lake restoration plan as part of a Master of Science thesis in the British Columbia Institute of Technology and Simon Fraser University Graduate Program in Ecological Restoration. The student will also assist BC Conservation Foundation with technical data and statistics for final reporting activities.

The Restoration Plan, expected to be completed in the Spring of 2022, will then serve as a guide to not only restore Lajoie Lake to its former condition of nutrient levels and learn how to maintain its natural trophic balance, but also could be directly applicable to the other lakes and water bodies in the region.

Executive Summary

Studies conducted on the lake in combination with nutrient measurements taken from the lake but not formally reported have been inconclusive in determining if the lake is in fact undergoing the process of eurtrophication. Certain water quality measurements taken from Lajoie Lake suggest the lake is undergoing the process of eurtrophication while others suggest the lake is in an oligotrophic or mesotrophic state. One measure of lake eutorphication is based on concentrations of Total Phosphorus, Total Nitrogen and Chlorophyll a. Chlorophyll a roughly indicates the concentration of plant biomass (UNEP, n.d.). Total Phosphorus, Total Nitrogen and Chlorophyll a collected from Lajoie Lake in May 1991, 2011, October 2011 and September 2016 were compared to the United Nations Environmental Protection (UNEP) standards for eutrophication. The Total Phospurus measurements indicated that the lake was mesotrophic. The Totoal nitrogen results indicate that the lake is Oligotrophic. Chorophlyyll measurements were only reported in the 1991 study at which time the results indicate that the lake was mesotrohpic. The Canadian Water Quality for the Protection of Aquatic Life set Total Phosphorus trigger ranges based on the range of phosphorus concentrations in water that define the reference trophic status for a site (Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment, 2004). A comparison of the Total Phosphorus measurements collected from Lajoie Lake in May 1991, May 2011, October 2011 and September 2016 to the trigger ranges indicate that Lajoie was bordering between oligotrophic and mesotrophic in 1991. However Total Phosphorus measurements taken in 2011 suggested the lake was becoming more eutrophic. Conversely Total Phosphorus taken on September 6, 2016 decreased from measurements taken in 2011 indicating that Lajoie was once again bordering between oligotrophic and mesotrophic (Table 5). Metal concentrations in Lajoie Lake were first report in 1991. Since the 1991 report various metal concentrations in Lajoie Lake were recorded in May 1991, September 2002, May 2011, October 2011 and September 2016. The levels of aluminum, arsenic, chromium, copper, nickel, and vanadium have decreased since 1991. The level of manganese in the lake is similar to what was recorded in 1999. Magnesium has increased by less than 2 mg/L since 1991 but still well below the recommended daily intake (Health Canada, 1997). The higher concentrations may be related to lower flushing rates and higher temperatures in Lajoie Lake. Phytoplankton were measured in Lajoie Lake in August, 1991, and exhibited phytoplankton numbers of 2720 cells/ml. The number of phytoplankton/ml classify indicates the lake falls within the mesotrophic range of 1000 to 5000 cells/ml (Nordin, 1986). No scientific studies of aquatic vegetation or sediment accumulation have been conducted on Lajoie Lake to date. This should be a priority item for future study since the species composition will provide additional clues regarding the health of the lake. The data that is available is difficult to compare as parameters that were measured and the timing of the data collection varies widely within years and between years. Cascade recommends developing a monitoring program with clearly defined parameters of measurement to capture monthly and annual changes on the lake. No scientific studies of aquatic vegetation or sediment accumulation have been conducted on Lajoie Lake to date. Future monitoring of Lajoie Lake should include assessments of aquatic vegetation and sediment levels in the lake as well as monitoring for the rate of growth and accumulation. The residents of Lajoie Lake provided a fairly detailed history of Lajoie Lake since the lake was first settled in 1912. The residents have recounted the major natural and anthropogenic changes that have occurred on the lake since the late 1930s. Unfortunately, all available limnological studies of the lake were carried out after 1990. Since the residents identify major changes to the lake occurring between 1970 and 1990 data records for this time is critical. It may be possible to identify changes to the lake through a paleolimnologial assessment of the lake whereby cores of bottom sediments are dated and

analyzed to scientifically document the historical natural and anthropogenic changes the lake has experienced. The data that the Lajoie Lake Residents Association (LLRA) provided as well as the data that is publicly available is limited. Cascade found references for studies that have been conducted on Lajoie Lake; however these studies are not publicly available. Cascade recommends that the LLRA submit a freedom of information request to obtain these and any other studies or data related to Lajoie Lake.

1 Introduction

Lajoie Lake, also known as Little Gun Lake, is located 90 km northwest of Lillooet (BC Lake Stewardship Society, 2008). The lake is situated in the Dickson Range of the Coast Mountains below Mt. Penrose and at elevation of 907 m (BC Lake Stewardship Society, 2008), (Grace, 1991) (Map 1). Lajoie Lake is a small lake with a 65.8 ha surface area, and is a relatively shallow lake with a maximum depth of 23.5 m and mean depth of 12.2 (BC Lake Stewardship Society, 2008), (Grace, 1991). The lake is fed by six streams including two perennial streams, Penrose Creek and Alder Brook (Steffen, Robertson and Kirsten (Canada) Inc., 1995) (Map 2). Lajoie Lake drains into Lajoie Creek which then drains into Gun Lake. Fish species present in Lajoie Lake include cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii), Dolly Varden (Salvelinus malma), kokanee (Oncorhynchus nerka), pea-mouth chub (Mylocheilus caurinus), prickly sculpin (Cottus asper), rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and redside shiner (Richardsonius balteatus) (BC Lake Stewardship Society, 2008). . Historically, bull trout have been misidentified as Dolly Varden throughout British Columbia and it is likely that the fish identified as Dolly Varden are bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus). Rainbow trout are stocked annually in Lajoie Lake, while kokanee were stocked in Gun Lake but migrate into Lajoie Lake (BC Lake Stewardship Society, 2008). A few homes and summer cottages are located on Lajoie Lake. Property owners and other users of the lake have reported that Lajoie Lake appears to be undergoing the process of eutrophication (excessive richness of nutrients in a lake, which causes a dense growth of plant life, lack of oxygen and subsequently a reduction of animal life) and there is evidence of changes to the water level of the lake. Studies conducted on the lake have been inconclusive in determining if the lake is in fact undergoing the process of eutrophication. Certain water quality measurements taken within Lajoie Lake suggest the lake is undergoing the process of eutrophication while others suggest the lake is in an oligotrophic state (nutrient poor). As such the Lajoie Lake Residents Association (LLRA) have retained Cascade Environmental Resource Group Ltd. (Cascade) to summarise and analyse all data currently available regarding the limnology of Lajoie Lake, identify data gaps and provide recommendations for future steps towards management of the lake. The summary will include anecdotal information provided by the LLRA from residents and users of Lajoie Lake. Note from residents

The property owners on Lajoie Lake] met on April 27, 2017 to form the Lajoie Lake Residents Association (LLRA). The LLRA is interested in identifying the cause(s) of the deterioration in the quality of Lajoie Lake and where useful undertaking scientifically based remediation projects.

It was agreed that in order to establish a baseline for further investigation and activities the first step was to collect and assess all existing studies, data points and the residents’ anecdotal history. The objective was to draw out some initial conclusions (including conclusions on the eutrophic condition of the lake) and recommendations for next steps. Cascade Environmental Resource Group Ltd was contracted to undertake this work.

2 Anecdotal History

Anecdotal information regarding the health and visual appearance of Lajoie Lake was collected from long term residents and recreational users of the lake. Documented observations of the lake’s physical appearance spanned from the 1930s to 2017 and were summarized in this report from the following Residents of Lajoie Lake: Peter Manning (from late 1930s) Jimmy O’Keefe (from 1945) Lois Bett (from 1941) & John Bett Dale Hull (from 1970), Judith (Manning) Hull (from 1940s) Don Reed (1968) Norman Gladstone & Birgit Westergaard (from 1981)

1912-1930

Lajoie Lake was first occupied by Matt Forster in 1912 (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017). Mr. Forster carried out mining activities in the vicinity of Lajoie Lake and dumped mine tailings into the lake. The evidence of which is still present and visible near the Hull house (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017) (Map 2). Following the arrival of Mr. Forster; Charlie and Jean Hayward (grandparents of J. O’Keefe) began visiting and camping at the lake in the late 1920s (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017). Mr. Hayward observed Mr. Forster using a pitch fork to fish Dolly Varden/bull trout out of Penrose Creek as he believed they ate trout eggs (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017). 1930-1970

P. Manning made several observations of the biophysical environment of the lake over a 50 year period between 1930 and 1980. He observed evidence of volcanic ash fall on the forest floor surrounding the lake. P. Manning also observed a healthy fish population in the lake during this time period with spawning taking place in late June to early July in Penrose Creek (comm. P. Manning, 2017). Snails and leeches were present in the lake as were muskrat. However, there were no beavers present during this time period (comm. P. Manning, 2017). Each summer P. Manning observed a pair of loons (Gavia sp.) on the lake with their chicks. He also observed osprey (Pandion haliaetus) nesting on snags at the top of the field and feeding on fish from the lake. P. Manning reported the presence of a dark green weed growing in the lake from the shallows to approximately 10 feet in depth as well as an annual growth of a mustard yellow weed with spindly stems and sparse round leaves. It grew up from the bottom and the tops floated on the surface later in the summer. This aquatic macrophyte continues to be present in the lake today although it is unknown if it is increasing. The creek was usually clear including during freshet. The flow in Alder Brook was lower than current flow rate; however, there was little variation in spring and summer flows over that 50-year time period (comm. P. Manning, 2017). 1930s

Mr. Hayward staked a mineral claim on the south shore of Lajoie Lake in 1931. The claim was later sold to Bralorne Mines. Bralorone staked the remaining property as mineral claims in 1931 (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017). The Lodge was built in 1934 and the road to the lake was built in the same year (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017). Sometime between 1937 and 1938 the Hayward family built a log cabin on the Reno claim owned by Matt Forster (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017).

Eight other assorted cabins and houses were built between the 1930s, 40s and 50s and were used by Bralorne Mines employees. 1940s

L. Bett first visited Lajoie Lake in 1941. At that time the lake was clear with a lava base making for good drinking water (comm. L. Bett, 2017). Fish in the lake were plentiful and the weeds were the natural ones, like the plants that are currently visible on top of the water (comm. L. Bett, 2017). To date, no scientific studies of aquatic vegetation have been conducted on Lajoie Lake. Therefore, it is not possible to verify if the aquatic vegetation present in the lake is naturally occurring or invasive. J. O’Keefe first visited Lajoie Lake in 1945. At that time the lake was very busy with visitors to the Lodge as well as employee activity on the Bralorne property (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017). Mr. Forster was operating a farm in addition to his mining operations and trapline (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017). Between 1940 and 1965 J. O’Keefe did not recall observing any beavers; however he did observe an abundance of invertebrate life in the lake. J. O’Keefe collected caddis fly cases, dragonfly nymphs, damselfly nymphs, leeches and other small fauna in a small wash tub in the lake (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017). Fish were also observed as abundant and mostly disease free. Observations of fish with lice or other signs of stress were rare in occurrence (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017). Swallows (Hirundinidae) were observed feeding on invertebrates at the surface of the lake (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017). J. O’Keefe also recalled observing large toads, water frogs, tree frogs and snakes. Amphibians with the potential to occur in the Thompson region include: the Columbia spotted frog (Rana luteiventris), the great basin spadefoot frog (Spea intermontana), the Pacific chorus frog (Pseudacris regilla), western toad (Anayyrus boreal), wood frog (Lithobates sylvaticus) and long-toed salamander (Ambystoma macrodactylum) (MOE, n.d.). Reptiles with the potential to occur in the Thompson region include: The common garter snake (Thamnophis sirtalis), the northwestern garter snake (T. ordinoides), the western terrestrial wandering garter snake (T. elegans vagrans), northwestern alligator lizard (Elgaria coerulea principis), painted turtle (Chrysemys picta pop. 2) (Thompson Rivers University, n.d.). 1960s

J. O’Keefe observed a beaver (Castor canadensis) in the Bridge River Valley for the first time in 1965 at Mowson Pond. Redside shiners (Richardsonius balteatus) appeared for the first time in Lajoie Lake in the 1960s (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017). Around 1965 J. O’Keefe observed radical changes in the lake. J. O’Keefe described a population explosion in redside shiners, which resulted in significant decline in the invertebrate population. The redside shiners were also infected with parasites described as white worms (Philonema sp.) 1 to 5 inches in length (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017) (Northcote, 1957). L. Bett speculates the shiners were introduced by fishermen visiting the lake. Overall fishing quality decreased with the introduction of the shiners (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017). This is likely due to the increased competition for food between the existing salmonid population and the introduced redside shiners. To date, no known scientific studies of fish health in Lajoie Lake have been conducted. Therefore, it is not possible to verify overall health of fish populations in Lajoie Lake. 1970s

D. Hull first visited Lajoie Lake in the summer of 1970. In the1970s D. Hull observed the lake as very clear and the rainbow trout population of the lake was abundant and all fish seemed to be in good health, free of parasites or other disease (comm. D. Hull, 2017). In the 1970s rainbow trout spawning began in early June and continued for a few weeks thereafter. Spawning rainbow were observed in the lower reaches of Penrose Creek and Alder Brook and ranged in size from 8-10 inches (comm. D. Hull, 2017). Dolly Varden/bull trout were also observed, however not in great abundance (comm. D. Hull, 2017).

Lajoie Lake Residents Association | Lajoie Lake Limnology Study – Phase 1: Data Review and Summary | 828-01-01 | January 26, 2018 11 Page 146 of 188 Request for Funding - British Columbia Conservation Foundation - Lajoie ...

Between the 1970s and the 1980s Lajoie Lake became more turbid (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017). Over the same time period the toad and frog populations declined and have all but disappeared from Lajoie Lake (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017). Declining amphibian populations may be linked to global declines in amphibian populations for reasons not clearly understood at this time. To date, no known scientific studies of amphibians in or around Lajoie Lake have been conducted. Therefore, it is not possible to verify amphibian presence or absence or overall populations in Lajoie Lake. J. O’Keefe observed significant growth in aquatic vegetation in the lake in the late 1970s. Around the same time period the abundance of “junk fish” increased. These included redside shiners, bullheads (Ameiurus melas, Ameiurus nebulosus or Ictalurus natalis), and pea-mouth chub among others, possibly introduced by visiting fishermen (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017). J. O’Keefe reported that he has not observed rainbow trout spawning in Penrose Creek since1979. Overall fishing quality decreased with the introduction of the shiners (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017). To date, no known scientific studies of fish in Lajoie Lake have been conducted. Therefore, it is not possible to verify overall health of fish populations or the presence or absence of invasive fish species in Lajoie Lake. D. Hull recalls the BC ministry in charge of fish and wildlife stocking the lake with kokanee, however he was uncertain if residents of Lajoie Lake were consulted prior to the commencement of the stocking program or how long the stocking program was carried out. Nonetheless, the kokanee preyed on the shiners and successfully lowered their numbers (comm. L. Bett, 2017). Rainbow trout are stocked annually in Lajoie Lake while kokanee are stocked in Gun Lake but migrate into Lajoie Lake (BC Lake Stewardship Society, 2008). Towards the end of the 1970s D. Hull observed dramatic changes in the characteristics of Lajoie Lake. D. Hull observed a rise in the beaver population which felled large numbers of aspen (Populus tremuloides), alder (Alnus sp.) and large cottonwood (Populus trichocarpa) trees. D. Hull reported that the beavers have built several lodges around the lake and the beavers continue to expand the size and number of the lodges. The upgrade to the road and the installation of the culverts exacerbated the beaver problem. It is the opinion of residents that the culverts are undersized and seated too high (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017). The beavers were continually trying to dam the culverts resulting in a further raising of lake water levels (comm. D. Hull, 2017). The O’Keefe family with assistance from other residents worked to keep the culverts clear following multiple failed efforts to enlist help from the Ministry of Transportation (comm. D. Hull, 2017). J. O’Keefe reported that volume of water flowing in Lajoie Lake from Penrose Creek and Alder Brook was comparable to the historic volumes according to Mr. C.M. Manning who followed the lake closely from the early 1930’s to his passing in 1987. However, the volume of water entering the lake has declined since the 1970s (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017). L. Bett recalls a massive mountain pine beetle kill on Penrose Mountain and several incidents since then, however she is uncertain if these events had any effect on Lajoie Lake. Changes in the forest cover and composition within the drainage basins feeding Lajoie Lake will have an effect on inflow to the lake from its feeder creeks. With reduced forest cover, rainwater will have less buffering and peak flows will tend to increase. This results in higher and lower flows. 1980s

Jim O’Keefe observed an increase in milfoil (Myriophyllum sp.) in Lajoie Lake throughout the 1980s. In 1981 N. Gladstone cleared away milfoil that was growing close to his dock to create a swimming area. The milfoil was cleared by dragging a heavy chain along the lake bottom then picking up the floating weeds by hand (comm. N. Gladstone, 2017).

To date, no scientific studies of aquatic vegetation have been conducted on Lajoie Lake. Therefore, it is not possible to verify that the species observed by J. O’Keefe and Mr. Galdstone is, in fact, milfoil. N. Gladstone observed moose (Alces alces) at the lake in the 1980s but has not seen any at the lake in a number of years. He noted the same for muskrat (Ondatra zibethicus). N. Gladstone has however observed an increase in shellfish in the lake (comm. N. Gladstone, 2017). N. Gladstone also reported observing a significant number of shiners and bullheads in the lake in the 1980s. Jim O’Keefe reported that kokanee were introduced into Lajoie Lake in 1980. Jim O’Keefe noted that in the Dolly Varden/bull trout used to freely pass between Lajoie Lake and Gun Lake. However, when the road was upgraded and the creek was culverted and various screen and weirs were installed at the inlet and outlet of the culvert, Dolly Varden/bull trout stopped passing between the two lakes (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017). J. O’Keefe observed Dolly Varden/bull trout with their snouts up against the exit screen in Gun Lake. D. Hull also reported that by the mid 1980s rainbow trout fishing dramatically declined. D. Hull also observed a surge in the beaver population. The beaver’s impacted the water level in Lajoie Lake through continual daming of the culverts (comm. D. Hull, 2017). In addition, the inflow of water from Penrose Creek and Alder Brook declined throughout the 1980s. D. Hull observed that by the early 1990s the average discharge from the two creeks was roughly half of what it had been in the 1970s. D. Hull speculates that this is the result of the decline in snowfall and the snowpack on the surrounding mountains. 1990s

D. Hull reported observing a higher than average snowfall over the winter of 1992-1993 followed by above warm period in early spring of 1993 which may have resulted in the washout on Penrose Creek. The culvert that was in place at the crossing of Penrose Creek and “Dale’s Road” became blocked and a new channel was carved out by the creek that flowed down Dale’s Road toward Gun Lake (comm. D. Hull, 2017). In 1993 D. Hull petitioned the BC Forest Service (BCFS) for help regarding the alignment of the creek and to fix the road. In 1994 the BCFS redirected the creek into its original channel and installed two large culverts at the crossing (comm. D. Hull and J. O’Keefe, 2017) (Map 2).

However, the washout increased the permeability of the rocky alluvial bed by clearing out the natural sealing features of fine silt and lava ash allowing water from the creek to seep underground. D. Hull contends that there is other evidence of changes to the biophysical environment resulting from the washout. The upper reaches of the Hull-Manning meadows that border Penrose Creek have become very swampy with a proliferation of weeds and scrub growth favoured under wetter conditions (comm. D. Hull, 2017). In 1995 N. Gladstone cleared “milfoil” in an expanded area. N. Gladstone observed little reoccurrence of milfoil from the original cleared area, however he did note that “milfoil” had spread further out into the lake from the cleared areas (comm. N. Gladstone, 2017). Jim O’Keefe reported that invasive crayfish were introduced into Lajoie Lake around 1995. Within two years the crayfish had colonized the entire lake (comm. D. Reed, 2017). Signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) is native to the northwestern USA and southwestern Canada. It is known to occur in southern parts of BC including Vancouver Island, the Lower Mainland, east to the Kootenays, and as far north as Okanagan Lake (UBC, n.d.). It is found in small streams, rivers and lakes, including subalpine lakes and can actively move up and down rivers as well as overland, which aids dispersal (UBC, n.d.). The species could be rusty crayfish (Orconectes rusticus), which is invasive, but this is unlikely. Some residents report that rotenone (a odorless, colorless, crystalline pnant based compond used as a broad-spectrum insecticide, piscicide, and pesticide) was proposed for use in the lake to kill invasive species of fish in the 1990s (comm. J. O’Keefe, J. Hull and L. Bett, 2017). There is one record of a lake

Lajoie Lake Residents Association | Lajoie Lake Limnology Study – Phase 1: Data Review and Summary | 828-01-01 | January 26, 2018 13 Page 148 of 188 Request for Funding - British Columbia Conservation Foundation - Lajoie ...

rehabilitation proposal for the use of rotenone in 1983 – Proposal Ref# - K0710 (MOE, n.d.). The residents confirm that the proposal was not carried out. 2000s

N. Gladstone reported that by the 2000s the redside shiner population had decreased and the bullheads are no longer present. Large numbers of kokanee were observed spawning in Lajoie Lake in the late 1980’s to approximately 2005, however, spawning kokanee have not been in observed in Lajoie Lake since (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017). The riparian zone around the lake has often been flooded (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017). On three occasions 2007, 2008 and 2016-17 the lake was flooded 5 inches, 7 inches and once up to the top of the old culvert (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017). J. O’Keefe reports that the beavers have undercut the banks around the lake and in some places created sinkholes. The riparian zone has been colonized by Douglas water hemlock (Cicuta douglasii) and in some areas of the lake is out competing other riparian vegetation (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017). Douglas water hemlock is found naturally occurring on wet stream edges, ditches and marshes in the lowland, steppe and montane zones. It is common throughout BC except the Queen Charlotte Islands (UBC, n.d.). 2010s

A pronounced decline in the population of frogs, toads, birds, bats and various invertebrate species including leeches (Glossiphoniidae, Erpobdellidae, Piscicolidae), water boatmen (Cenocorixa andersoni), backswimmers (Notonectidae) as well as tadpoles and many other species was observed (comm. L. Bett and J. O’Keefe, 2017). Western toads have been absent from the lake for the past five years, however great blue herons (Ardea herodias) returned to the lake in 2015 after a four or five-year absence (comm. D. Reed, 2017). Fish health appears to have decreased (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017). In 2016 L. Bett reported catching a deformed rainbow trout. L. Bett also reported an increase in the number of shiners in the lake over the last two to three years. She has contacted the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Resource Operations regarding restocking the lake with kokanne but has not received a response. In 2015 D. Reed reported observing crayfish enter the culvert and travel upstream towards Lajoie Lake. He speculates this is due to the new connection between the streambed and the lake. Between 2015 and 2016 Mr. Reed observed seven river otters (Lontra canadensis) in the lake which preyed on the crayfish and decreased their number in the lake. This comment about the newly established streambed connection through the culvert is interesting because it implies that there may be a hydrolic step that could have precluded fish passage. However, the gradient and length of the culvert may also adversely affect fish passage. Aquatic vegetation growth has increased. Between July and August of 2015 D. Hull reported that aquatic vegetation mats detached from the lake bottom and floated to the surface as tight and odorous balls of weeds. The “weed balls” persisted in 2016. In 2016 the Douglas water hemlock appeared in large numbers along the edge of the lake. Residents were not aware of the presence of this toxic plant around Lajoie Lake prior to 2016 (comm. D. Hull, 2017). Water clarity has also decreased (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017). In 2016 Lois Brett reported a marked and sustained difference in water clarity and colour between the lake water at the Penrose Creek outflow and the lake around the Hayward property (Map 2). A marked decrease of public and resident use of Lajoie Lake has been noted. There are only four families that currently own and occupy residences on the lake. The O’Keefe family uses their cabin for an annual two week (on average 10-15 night) stay. The Manning House has been used very rarely in the past 30 years, and when occupied is only occupied by one person. The Hull Cabin was used on average

for a month from 1980 to 2006, and is now used approximately four months a year by two people and the caretakers cabin on the property is used approximately five weeks a year in total (comm. J. Hull, 2017). The Reed Cabin is used very rarely for approximately two weeks a year (comm. J. Hull, 2017). Public use of Lajoie Lake is very limited in the summer but increases in the winter months with ‘Winterfest’ and various winter activities include skating, ice fishing, walking/snowshoeing and snowmobiling on and around the lake. In 2016 D. Hull and Don Sturgess hiked Penrose Mountain and observed dry channels which they speculate have become dry due to reduced snowfall and snow pack over the last two decades (comm. D. Hull, 2017). L. Bett reported that in the spring of 2017 a slide occurred on Penrose Mountain above the dam. The slide introduced turbid water into Lajoie Lake that produced a plume that spread approximately 75-100 feet into the lake (comm. L. Bett, 2017).

2.1 Anecdotal Summary

The first residence of record located on the banks of Lajoie Lake was established in 1912, with most cabins being built between the 1930s and 1950s. The twenty-year time period between 1930 and 1950 experienced a peak of activity from both residents and visitors alike. A local resident reported that mine tailings were dumped in Lajoie Lake by the first homesteader, and mine claims were established on the lake in the 1930s, including the Bralorne Mine claim. The first inventory of native species and vegetation was informally collected in this time period and included observations of Dolly Varden/bull trout, rainbow trout, snails, leeches, caddis fly cases, dragonfly nymphs, damselfly nymphs, muskrat, moose, osprey, loons, swallows, toads, frogs and snakes. Native aquatic vegetation of importance included a “dark green weed” and a “mustard yellow weed”. The North American beaver was first observed in the 1960s on Lajoie Lake. By their nature, beavers are ecosystem engineers, as such can be an dictator of a healthy and vibrant ecosystem. However, they can also be ecosystem modifiers. Redside shiners were introduced to the lake in the 1960s as well. The explosion of the redside shiner population may have had a negative impact on the lake’s invertebrate population, and introduced parasites into the lake’s fragile ecosystem. As a result of the introduced redside shiner species the overall sport fishing quality offered by the lake was negatively impacted. An observed significant change was noted in the appearance and water quality of Lake Lajoie that began in the 1970s. Along with the decline in water quality and reduced water clarity was a reported change in flow rate of the water and a change in the levels of the lake. These changes have been attributed to a combination of the installation of the culvert for the new road as well as the increase in beaver population that were responsible for repeatedly damning the culvert. Invasive species including redside shiners, bullheads and chub were introduced to the lake in the 1970s, and the local frog population experienced a steady decline. Kokanee were confirmed to have been stocked in Gun Lake and were observed migrating into Lajoie Lake. The kokanee preyed on and successfully lowered the invasive redside shiner population. The BC Fish Information Summary System verifies all fish, except for bullhead, reported by the residents of Lajoie Lake. Records of the rainbow trout stocking program are also publicly available. Public records of kokanee stocking in Gun Lake are also available. However, it is unknown if any scientific surveys have been conducted to assess fish health in Lajoie Lake. To date no known scientific studies of amphibians or other wildlife that occupy Lajoie Lake or the surrounding area have been conducted. Therefore, resident accounts are the most compressive list of faunal habitation for Lajoie Lake. The access road and under-road culvert to the lake was re-developed in the 1980s, resulting in a permanent fish barrier to the lake, and Dolly Varden/bull trout were no longer able to access to lake. Increased beaver activity on the lake through damming culverts impacted lake levels in the 1980s and a

bloom of aquatic vegetation occurred most likely due to increased temperatures in the lake. To date no scientific studies of aquatic vegetation have been conducted on Lajoie Lake. Lajoie Lake area experienced a higher than average snowfall in the winter of 1992 and 1993. An early spring melt in 1993 resulted in a washout that blocked the existing culvert on Penrose Creek and Dale’s Road. Remediation work was completed by the BC Forest Service in 1994, and Penrose Creek was redirected back to its original alignment before the washout, and two large culverts were also installed. However, the residents reported that due to the re-alignment of Penrose Creek, the alluvial bed became more permeable and appeared to allow Penrose Creek to flow ground before surfacing in the lowere Hull- Manning meadows. The residents believe that this change caused surface water retention thereby creating swam like conditions which encouraged the growth of plants that favoured wetter, nutrient-rich conditions. Crayfish were reported to have been introduced into the lake in 1994. Signal crayfish are native southwestern Canada including Vancouver Island, the Lower Mainland, east to the Kootenays, and as far north as Okanagan Lake. They are known to actively move up and down rivers as well as overland, which aids dispersal. Both redside shiner and Dolly Varden/bull trout populations were reported to have decreased significantly by the year 2000, however kokanee were reported to have been observed spawning in the lake from 1980 up until 2005. The existing riparian area of the lake was flooded in the years of 2007, 2008 and in 2016/2017, and Douglas water hemlock in now present. Although toxic, Douglas water hemlock is naturally occurring on wet stream edges, ditches and marshes in the lowland, steppe and montane zones throughout BC except the Queen Charlotte Islands. Flooding of the riparian area can be attributed to high beaver dam activity on the lake. In recent years, from 2010 to present day, the residents reported a notable decline in amphibians, birds, native mammals and invertebrates reported by local residents and visitors. While there has been a decline in animal species populations in the lake there has been an increase in aquatic vegetation growth, specifically the introduction of water hemlock in the riparian area of the lake. An overall decline in native fish health and population has been noted, resulting in an increase in population of redside shiners due to lack of natural predation. It has been reported that the introduced crayfish are still present in the lake at this time.

3 Study Collation of Lajoie Lake Data

The Bridge River Region – A Geographical Study, 1949 Precipitation records for Little Gun Lake (Lajoie Lake) were collected and summarized for the period of 1925 to 1931. Lake Survey Data - 1969 A limnology survey of Lajoie Lake was conducted on May 15, 1969. The data collected on the lake included physical data of the lake, geography of the surrounding area, drainage pattern of the lake, human access and usage. Preliminary Overview of water Quality in Gun and Jajoie Lake, 1991 In 1991 a report was published by R.G. Grace of the BC Ministry of the Environment. The report provided a preliminary overview of both Lajoie Lake and Gun Lake. Surface and bottom water samples were collected and analyzed for basic water chemistry, general ions, bacteria, nutrients, phytoplankton and bottom sediments. Samples were collected on August 14 1990 and the results of the data collected indicated that at the time Lakjoie Lake was mesotrophic to eutrophic. In other words moderately productive with medium nutrient level, clear water and submerged aquatic vegetation to highly productive with high nutrient levels, low dissolved oxygen and abundant aquatic vegetation. The report concluded that since Lajoie Lake is a relatively shallow lake wind action and boating activities contribute to re-suspension of bottom sediments which makes nutrients available for algal growth. It was also concluded that the internal loading from anaerobic bottom sediments of Lajoie Lake was the major contributor of nutrients in the water column. This was indicated by low oxygen levels, high nutrient concentrations, negative redox in the lower layer (hypolimnion) and black, anoxic, sulphur smelling, bottom sediment. Results from the 1990 study indicated that the dissolved oxygen was similar until the thermocline was reached, where after a slight increase occurred there was a significant decrease of dissolved oxygen that measured well below 5 mg/l. Redox increased until the thermocline in Lajoie lake, where it then dropped significantly to well below zero (Grace, 1991). Conductivity decreased steadily with depth, and it was noted that conductivity was greater than that observed in Gun Lake. The pH observed in Lajoie Lake decreased steadily with depth from a measured pH of 9.2 near the surface to a pH of 8.2 at the bottom of the lake (Grace, 1991). Gun Lake Level 2 Watershed Assessment, 1995 Lajoie Lake is fed by six streams including two perennial streams, Penrose Creek and Alder Brook (Steffen, Robertson and Kirsten (Canada) Inc., 1995). Penrose Creek is a fourth-order stream which drains a harvested forest on the northwest slope of Mt. Penrose (Grace, 1991). The creek flows through a V-shaped, steeply-sloping valley and a dendritic drainage pattern (Steffen, Robertson and Kirsten (Canada) Inc., 1995). Air photos from 1964 and 1993 were examined for signs of slope stability on Mount Penrose. No natural or harvesting related slides were visible on the air photos over the 30-year time period. The Importance of Lajoie Lake and its Watershed, 2008 The BC Lake Stewardship Society (BCLSS) in conjunction with the Ministry of Environment have developed The BC Lake Stewardship and Monitoring Program. The program is designed to determine current lake water quality, identify preferred lake uses and monitor water quality for changes through regular water sampling (BC Lake Stewardship Society, 2008). The monitoring program includes five different levels of lake monitoring and assessment: Level 1 - Weekly surface temperature and Secchi readings

Level 2 - Spring overturn water chemistry and Dissolved Oxygen and Temperature profile, plus Level 1 Level 3 - Spring overturn water chemistry, bi-weekly water chemistry and biological sampling, plus Level 1 Level 4 - Watershed Study, plus Level 3 Level 5 - Full Watershed Assessment, plus Level 3, as well as stream monitoring for water chemistry and assessment of riparian areas In 2008 the BCLSS published the results of a three-year (2005-2007) Level 1 monitoring program for Lajoie Lake. Lake residents reported that Lajoie Lake freezes annually; therefore, water quality measurements and samples were collected between May and November. The BCLSS recorded various measurements to determine the productivity level of the lake which can be described as the lake’s trophic status. Temperature and dissolved oxygen profiles of the lake were recorded to determine changes in seasonal oxygen, phosphorus and algal conditions (BC Lake Stewardship Society, 2008). Secchi disc measurements were recorded to determine water clarity in the lake which is influenced by algal growth. Phosphorus is the nutrient that is a limiting factor in algae production (BC Lake Stewardship Society, 2008). The BCLSS also examined the flushing rate of the lake which is the rate of water replacement. The flushing rate dictates the rate at which excess nutrients can be removed from the lake. Relative to its volume the BCLSS estimated Lajoie Lake to have a low flushing rate. The slow water intake and outlet of water in Lajoie Lake potentially allows for the natural and anthropogenic sources of nutrients to accumulate in the lake. The Ministry of the Environment (MOE) identified land use activities within the Lajoie Lake watershed and determined that the area immediately surrounding the lake would have the greatest impact on the lake’s water quality. MOE identified logging activity in the area, however a detailed study was not carried out to measure the impact of land use on the lake. The conclusion of the Level 1 monitoring program carried out on Lajoie Lake between 2005 and 2007 was that the lake was in an oligotrophic state. Lake nutrient levels were low, algal growth levels were also low, but dissolved oxygen levels were high. In addition to the studies summarised above Cascade conducted a search of the BC Fish Inventories Data Queries (FIDQ) database.

4 Limnology and Biophysical Data Collection Analysis

Cascade conducted a search of publicly available limnology and biophysical studies of Lajoie Lake. Studies of the lake are limited with most studies occurring between 1990 and 2016 (Table 1). Few reports were publicly available. Cascade found references for reports and data from surveys carried out by the province of British Columbia and the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC. The Lajoie Lake Residents Association (LLRA) also provided data from surveys carried out by the province. Table 1: Limnology and Biophysical Data Collection from Lajoie Lake

4.1.1 Climate - Bridge River Region Thesis (1949)

Lajoie Lake is located within the Bridge River Region which is located within the Coast Range, specifically on the eastern edge of this range. This position is climatically characterized by being located between the Pacific coast and the interior of B.C. Moderately cold winters and warm summers characterize this region, and the precipitation that occurs in the winter is on average less than 35 inches for locales below 4,000 feet (Wood, 1949). Precipitation records for Little Gun Lake (Lajoie Lake) were collected and summarized for the period of 1925 to 1931(Wood, 1949). Average annual precipitation was 19.48 inches (494.79 mm) with a low of 0.46 inches (11.68 mm) in May and 0.48 inches (12.19 mm) in June and a high of 4.04 inches (102.62 mm) in December. Snow fall averaged 73.4 inches (186.44 cm) between 1925 and 1931 (Wood, 1949). Daily weather in the Bridge River Region is largely influenced by the interaction between polar-maritime and subtropical-maritime air masses that originate over the Pacific Ocean and a pattern of dry summers and wet winters is the result (Wood, 1949). 4.1.2 Limnology Data Biological, chemical and physical features of Lajoie Lake have been collected by a variety of sources over the years, in order to form a general collection of limnology data to further characterize the lake. Basic sampling measurements were carried out on Lajoie Lake in 1969, 1990, 2005-2007, 2011 and 2016.

Measurement included Secchi disc measurements, temperature profiles and dissolved oxygen profiles. Secchi disc depth is a measure of turbidity resulting from organic and inorganic sources. Secchi disc depths can also be used as a proxy for phytoplankton population density. Due to the light scattering properties of phytoplankton, Secchi disc depth varies inversely with algal population densities. The Secchi depth dish depth in Lajoie Lake has varied between 2.20 m and 8.03 between May and November (Table 2). Secchi depth was regularly measured in 2006 and 2007 from May to September but only once in 1969, 2005 and 2016. In 2011 secchi disc depth was measured in May and October (Table 2). Water use for recreation should be sufficiently clear that a Secchi disc is visible at a minimum depth of 1.2 m (Health Canada, 2012). Lakes that have a depth disc of less than 1.2 m are likely euthrophic, or nutrient rich. Euthropic lakes are very fertile and promote the growth of algae and other aquatic organisms and vegetation. The high biomass can lead to high decomposition and oxygen depletion. Secchi disc depth measurements in Lajoie were all greater than 1.2 m. The Secchi disc depth measurements taken in Lajoie Lake do not indicate that the lake is in a eutrophic state.

Temperature profiles of Lajoie Lake were carried out in 1969, 1990, 2005-2007 and 2011. Dissolved oxygen profiles were also carried out over the same time period except 1969. Lake temperature readings recorded between 2006 and 2007 were measured to compare season to season and year to year changes. Between 2006 and 2007 the minimum recorded surface temperature was 5.5 oC on November 1, 2005, 7.2 oC on November 5, 2006 and 7 oC on November 6, 2007. The maximum recorded surface temperature was 19 oC on August 10, 2005, 19.3 oC on July 5, 2006 and 18.8 oC on July 11, 2007 (BC Lake Stewardship Society, 2008). The Lajoie Lake Residents Association (LLRA) obtained the 2006 and 2007 raw data that was listed in the 2008 BC Lake Stewardship Society report. The 2005 data was not provided. Cascade compared the May, August and October 2006 and 2007 temperature profile data to the temperature profile for in May 1969, August 2005 and in May and October of 2011 (Appendix 1 to Appendix 3). The average surface temperature of Lajoie Lake in May was 13.3 oC and ranged from a low of 8.0 oC on May 2, 2006 to a high of 14.0 oC on May 30, 2006. The average surface temperature of Lajoie Lake in August was 19.4 oC and ranged from a low of 17.2 oC on August 31, 2007 to a high of 21.4 oC on August 4, 1990. The average surface temperature of Lajoie Lake in October was 10.4 oC and ranged from a low of 9.1 oC on October 25, 2007 to a high of 12.0 oC on October 11, 2006. Bottom temperatures stayed fairly constant across all recorded month and years, averaging 4.6 oC in May, 4.6 oC in August and 4.9 oC in October (Appendix 1 to Appendix 3). Cascade also compared the May, August and October 2006 and 2007 dissolved oxygen (DO) profile data to the DO profile for in August 2005 and in May and October of 2011 (Appendix 4 to Appendix 6). The average surface DO of Lajoie Lake in May was 12.5 mg/L and ranged from a low of 9.0 mg/L on May 30, 2006 to a high of 12.9 mg/L on May 2, 2006 and May 29. 2007. The average surface DO of Lajoie Lake in August was 8.7 mg/L and ranged from a low of 7.0 mg/L on August 1, 2006 to a high of 9.38 mg/L on August 31, 2005. The average surface temperature of Lajoie Lake in October was 9.6 mg/L and ranged from a low of 7.8 mg/L on October 10, 2007 to a high of 12.1 mg/L on October 18, 2011. DO at the bottom of the lake was very low across all recorded month and years, averaging 0.1 mg/L in May, 0.6 mg/L in August and 1.5 mg/L in October (Appendix 4 to Appendix 6).

4.1.2.1 Nutrients

In the 1991 report nutrient concentrations in Lajoie Lake were high, especially in comparison with Gun Lake, and most notably near the bottom of the lake. As measurements were taken during August, this is to be expected as nutrients that are displaced from the surface make their way down to deeper waters releasing nutrients as they decompose at a deeper depth (Grace, 1991). At the surface of the lake, the nitrogen to phosphorus ratio (N:P) was approximately 18.5:1, highlighting the fact that the lake is phosphorus limited. Water samples that were taken near the bottom of the lake measured a N:P of 5:1, indicating that the deeper water is essentially nitrogen limited. However, since the volume of surface water is greater than the deep water portion of the lake, there would most likely be a strong phosphorus limited N:P ratio that occurs at the spring turnover timing of the lake (Grace, 1991). This conclusion is supported by the observed high nitrogen concentration that was measured in the surface water in August. Since the 1991 report, various nutrient levels have been measured in Lajoie Lake. Nutrient levels were recorded in May 1991, September 2002, May 2011, October 2011 and September 2016 (Appendix 7). Across this time period the nitrogen to phosphorus ratio (N:P) remained high even in the May after the spring lake turnover. The extent of eutrophication of a lake is based on concentrations of Total Phosphorus, Total Nitrogen and Chlorophyll a. Chlorophyll a roughly indicates the concentration of plant biomass (UNEP, n.d.). Table 3 compares the United Nations Environmental Protection (UNEP) standards for eutrophication to measurements collected from Lajoie Lake in May 1991, 2011, October 2011 and September 2016. Chlorophyll a was measured once in Lajoie Lake on May 23, 1991. Measurements of Total Phosphorus, Total Nitrogen and Chlorophyll a were taken on May 23, 1991. Total Phosphorus (10.0 ug/L) and Chlorophyll a (3.4 ug/L) indicate that Lajoie was mesotrophic, however Total Nitorgen (120 ug/L) indicate the lake was oligotrophic (Table 3). In 2011 measurements of total phosphorus and total nitrogen from Lajoie Lake increased. Total Nitrogen measurements from 2011 (250 and 320 ug/L) indicate that despite increasing the lake was still oligotophic while the Total Phosphorus measurements (40 and 50 ug/L) suggested the lake was becoming more eutrophic (Table 3). Measurements of Total Phosphorus and Total Nitrogen taken on September 6, 2016 decreased from measurements taken in 2011. Total Phosphorus (10.0 ug/L) indicate that Lajoie was mesotrophic while Total Nitorgen (190 ug/L) indicate the lake was oligotrophic (Table 3). Table 3: Classification of Lakes by Eutrofication Extent Compared with Lajoie Lake (UNEP, n.d.)

Trigger ranges for Total Phosphorus, displayed in Table 4, have been developed under the Canadian Guidance Framework for the Management of Freshwater Systems. The Canadian Water Quality for the Protection of Aquatic Life set Total Phosphorus trigger ranges based on the range of phosphorus concentrations in water that define the reference trophic status for a site. (Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment, 2004).

The trigger ranges for Total Phosphorus in freshwater systems are displayed in Table 5 and compared to the Total Phosphorus measurements collected from Lajoie Lake in May 1991, May 2011, October 2011 and September 2016. Total Phosphorus (10.0 ug/L) measurements taken on May 23, 1991 indicate that Lajoie was bordering between oligotrophic and mesotrophic (Table 5). In 2011 measurements of total phosphorus from Lajoie Lake increased. The Total Phosphorus measurements (40 and 50 ug/L) suggested the lake was becoming more eutrophic (Table 5). Total Phosphorus (10.0 ug/L) taken on September 6, 2016 decreased from measurements taken in 2011 indicating that Lajoie was once again bordering between oligotrophic and mesotrophic (Table 5). The data available and the analysis carried out on that data in this study does not permit a conclusion as to the extent of eutrophication of Lajoie Lake.

4.1.2.2 Metals

Bottom sediments were also sampled in August of 1990, and were typical of eutrophic lakes, with sediment samples observed to be black and smelling of hydrogen sulphide (Grace, 1991). Sediment samples taken revealed that there were high concentrations of iron and sulphides. The sulphides will bind with the iron, allowing the phosphorus to precipitate into the sediments to dissolve back into the water column. This explains the lower concentration of phosphorus in the lake’s bottom sediments and the higher concentration of phosphorus in the lower water column samples. In comparison with Gun Lake that was also sampled at the same time, Lajoie Lake had higher concentrations of metals in the sediment samples, including iron, aluminum, arsenic, chromium, copper, magnesium, manganese, mercury, nickel and vanadium (Grace, 1991). Since the 1991 report various metal concentrations in Lajoie Lake were recorded in May 1991, September 2002, May 2011, October 2011 and September 2016 (Appendix 8). The levels of aluminum, arsenic, chromium, copper, nickel, and vanadium have decreased since 1991. The level of manganese in the lake is similar to what was

recorded in 1999. Magnesium has increased by less than 2 mg/L since 1991 but still well below the recommended daily intake (Health Canada, 1997). The higher concentrations may be related to lower flushing rates and higher temperatures in Lajoie Lake.

4.1.2.3 Fish

In addition to anecdotal fish observations described in section 2, a search of the BC Fish Inventories Data Queries (FIDQ) database was carried out to find records of fish observations and stocking programs carried out in Lajoie Lake. Fish species identified in Lajoie Lake include rainbow trout, kokanee, redside shiner, peamouth chub, prickly sculpin, Dolly Varden/bull trout and cutthroat trout (Appendix 9). The lake has been stocked with rainbow trout in 1970, 1982, and 1987 to 2017 (Appendix 10). Kokanee have been stocked downstream in Gun Lake, and have been observed to have made their way upstream into Lajoie Lake (BC Lake Stewardship Society, 2008).

4.1.2.4 Invertebrate and Microfauna Communities

Phytoplankton were measured in Lajoie Lake in August, 1991, and exhibited phytoplankton numbers of 2720 cells/ml. The number of phytoplankton/ml classify indicates the lake falls within the mesotrophic range of 1000 to 5000 cells/ml (Nordin, 1986). Phytoplankton found in Lajoie Lake were common species and included; Cyclotella comta and Asterionella Formosa which prefer alkaline waters as well as Ankistrodesmus falcatus, A. Formosa, C. comta, Oocystis spp., Sphaerocystis schroeteri and Tetraedron minimum, which prefer waters high in nutrients (Grace, 1991). The 1991 study is the only publicly available study of the microfaunal community of Lajoie Lake.

4.1.2.5 Aquatic vegetation

No scientific studies of aquatic vegetation have been conducted on Lajoie Lake to date. This should be a priority item for future study since the species composition will provide additional clues regarding the health of the lake.

4.1.2.6 Sediment Accumulation

No scientific studies of sediment accumulation have been conducted on Lajoie Lake to date. Sediment analysis could provide historic information on the changes to the lake.

5 Conclusions

For more than 30 years the residents of Lajoie Lake, with contributions from interested individuals, have documented changes to the lake leading to speculation that it may be eutriphfying. Despite the anecdotal evidence of declining lake health, the residents have received little government assistance to monitor and evaluate the lake. The analysis presented in this report is based on all existing publically available limnological and biophysical data collected from Lajoie Lake. But for the monitoring study carried out by the BC Lake Stewardship Society (BCLSS) in conjunction with the Ministry of Environment, limnological data collection from Lajoie Lake has lacked a methodical approach. Due to the inconsistencies in the parameters that were sampled and inconsistent data collection times, statistical analysis of the data was not possible. As such it is not possible to use the data to form an understanding of the forces impacting the lake or to adequately determine if the lake is eutriphfying. This report highlights the need for a long- term monitoring study with carefully identified parameters as well as a schedule for data collection that can be used to assess the health of the lake and to detect changes over time. This report details the anecdotal evidence collected by the residents of Lajoie Lake since the 1930s as well as a summary and analysis of all publically available limnological and biophysical data collected from the data from various sources. Based on the information reviewed, the following conclusions were made: i. Residents of Lajoie Lake have observed the presence of aquatic vegetation in the lake since the 1940s and have documented increased growth and spread into the lake from the shoreline over the past 30 years. However, to date, no scientific studies of aquatic vegetation have been conducted on Lajoie Lake. Therefore, it is not possible to verify species or determine if species present are naturally occurring or invasive. In addition the rate of vegetation growth, decomposition and resulting sediment accumulation and change in lake depth is unknown. ii. Fish have been observed in the lake and documented by the residents of Lajoie Lake since the lake was first occupied in 1912. Records of these fish observations are present in the provincial government Fisheries Information Summary System. These records include introduced/non-native fish such as redside shiners and pea-mouth chub. Following the introduction of these fish to Lajoie Lake the residents reported a decrease in lake’s natural invertebrate population, increase in parasites and decrease in overall sport fishing quality. However, no known scientific studies of fish health in Lajoie Lake have been conducted. Therefore, it is not possible to verify overall health of fish populations in Lajoie Lake. iii. Residents reported that Dolly Varden/bull trout have stopped passing between the two lakes. In 2015 D. Reed reported observing a new connection between the streambed and the lake. This implies that there may be a hydrolic step that may prevent fish passage. In addition the gradient and length of the culvert may also adversely affect fish passage. However no studies have been conducted to determine if the upgrades to Gun Lake Road which include the installation of various screen and weirs have created a barrier to fish passage. iv. Basic water chemistry, nutrients and metals have been irregularly sampled since 1969. The results of these sampling efforts do not reflect the changes in reported to by the residents who speculate that the lake is becoming eutrophic. The conclusion of the Level 1 monitoring program carried out on Lajoie Lake between 2005 and 2007 was that the lake was in an oligotrophic state. Lakes that have a depth disc of less than 1.2 m are likely euthrophic, or nutrient rich. Secchi disc depth measurements in Lajoie were all greater than 1.2 m which suggests that Lajoie Lake is not eutrophic. Metals were sampled between 1991 and 2016. The levels of most metals have either decreased Magnesium has increased by less than 2 mg/L since 1991 but still well below the recommended daily intake (Health Canada, 1997). The higher concentrations may be related to lower flushing rates and higher temperatures in Lajoie Lake.

6 Recommendations

To determine if Lajoie Lake is becoming more eutrophic as suggested by the changes observed and documented by the residents, Cascade recommends the following: i. A freedom of information request should be made by the LLRA to obtain all exisiting studies or data related to Lajoie Lake ii. Residents should seek expert advice and assistance to conduct a baseline biological research project of the Lake and its circumstances. Such a study would provide a scientific background against which tests of challenging hypotheses regarding the state of affairs with the Lake could be tested. iii. A paleolimnology assessment of the lake should be carried out where cores of bottom sediments are analysed to scientifically document the historical natural and anthropogenic changes the lake has experienced iv. Once the baseline study is complete a long-term monitoring study should be carried on the lake to detect changes to fish population and health, nutrient levels, aquatic vegetation growth rates and sediment accumulation. v. A biological, systematic research project of Lajoie Lake should be undertaken under expert advice and supervision to gather data over time in a consistent manner to permit conclusive analysis to ultimately direct remedial action. The project should include a study of fish and other aquatic life forms, vegetation, etc.

Appendix A

Summary Points on the Historic and Unique but Declining Place of Lajoie Lake in the Bridge River Valley and Transformations Observed

• Lajoie Lake has been historically a premier tourist and recreation site in the Bridge River Valley for more than a century. Its shores, surrounding forests, and grassy meadows under the magnificent slopes of Mount Sloan and Mount Penrose provided a spectacular setting for family activities and a beautiful place to relax and enjoy nature. Its history is part of the colourful folklore of the once-great Bralorne and Pioneer mining camps.

• Lajoie Lake’s rich history goes back to the early 20th century. Much of the lake’s surrounding land was homesteaded with pre-emption certified in1914. The homesteader, Matt Forester, cleared land for farming and operated mineral (gold) claims in the foothills of Mount Penrose until the early 1950s. As a prospector, he drove at least four adits (tunnels) into the cliff faces on the west side of the lake, at least one of which extends to more than 300 feet into solid rock following a gold-bearing quartz vein. The workings can still be seen from the lake.

• The lake's beauty and apparent remoteness attracted the attention of the mining moguls that founded the Bralorne and Pioneer gold camps. They acquired land from the homesteader on which they constructed the beautiful Little Gun Lake Lodge in 1931-34. The log work shows the most careful and exquisite craftmanship of perhaps any log building in Canada. It remains a priceless tribute to the area’s rich mining history and to the men who made it all happen.

• The public has free access to Lajoie Lake with the access point conveniently on Gun Lake Road West on the lake’s east side. Despite this ease of access, the lake has retained the ambiance of a hidden jewel with some of the best mountain scenery in all British Columbia, making it a photographer’s paradise. The lake is sparsely populated – there are only six seasonal dwellings on the lake and visitors can still experience being in a quiet unspoiled wilderness.

• During the annual migration of waterfowl, the lake is a stopover point for Trumpeter Swans, Canada Geese, and ducks of all varieties. Several species of water mammals can be seen by patient watchers, such as groups of otters playing and feasting on crayfish, abundant muskrat, mink, the frequent call of the Northern Loon which nest there every year, and plentiful beavers that unfortunately wreak havoc on the lake’s shoreline. There are sightings of deer, moose, grizzlies, black bears, coyotes, wolves, lynx, bobcats, and the occasional cougar.

• Until the detrimental biological changes became evident, the lake had clear, cold snow-melt water and was home to rainbow trout, often weighing up to four pounds. It was probably the best fly-fishing lake in the Bridge River Valley. Even now fly fishing can sometimes be

Page 177 of 188 Request for Funding - British Columbia Conservation Foundation - Lajoie ... 2

good (depending on the erratic and changing conditions), but its robust nature has disappeared.

• Despite these negative changes, the lake is stubbornly holding on as a site for public recreation in all seasons, offering quiet canoeing, fly fishing in the summer and ice fishing in the winter, and remains the site for the annual Bridge River Valley Winterfest.

• While Lajoie Lake remains a go-to place for public festivities and an all-year-round recreational site, activities that depend on the quality of well-oxygenated, clear water are unfortunately on the decline. And the historic, picturesque scenery and atmosphere are suffering the concurrent negative impact of these changes.

• As the result of topographical disruptions, the watercourses flowing into the lake (most notably from Penrose Creek and Alder Brook) have declined precipitously over the last 30 to 40 years, causing much of the water to disappear underground.

• The lake water has become populated with coarse fish such as bullheads, red-sided shiners and crayfish that have competed with native rainbow trout, much to the latter’s detriment.

• Through regular testing, LLRA’s data has often found that dissolved oxygen to be lacking at various depths. Careful observation supports the view that the native species of trout have likely disappeared; no rainbow trout have been seen spawning in Penrose Creek and Alder Brook since the late 1970s.

• Although the BC Ministry responsible for sport fishing has stocked the lake every year with rainbow fingerlings, there is no noticeable improvement in the sport fishery. The trout that are taken are often found to be infested with lice, internal worms, seldom reach a length of more than eight or ten inches and are usually thin and often appear unhealthy.

• The lake experiences frequent algae formations and an abundance of weeds that form huge floating clumps that eventually sink to the bottom, releasing carbon dioxide and methane gas. The decaying process continues under water, eventually consuming oxygen. The once clean shorelines have become marshy plots in many areas consisting of several sorts of aquatic grasses adding seasonally to the dying organic matter falling into and decaying in the lake.

• Beavers, which were hardly ever seen on the lake prior to the 1970s, now are prolific, destroying the aspen and birch trees on the shoreline resulting in rotting organic matter falling into the lake, adding to the rising oxygen depletion and unattractive scenery. Beavers relentlessly dam the two culverts at the outflow at Lajoie Creek (which runs under the road), near the public access point. This problem requires constant attention that residents usually do, as the Ministry of Highways, until only recently seemed unwilling to accept responsibly for this task. This beavers constant interference at the culverts causes fluctuations in the lake level and erratic change in the shoreline.

• Early in the 1970s the Ministry of Highways removed the wooden bridge over Lajoie Creek (without consultation) and replaced it with one culvert. When that failed to work well, the Ministry installed another culvert of similar size but at a higher level. This has proved to be an unmitigated disaster. Fish that normally navigate between Lajoie Lake and Big Gun Lake cannot overcome the man-made hurdle, which leads to disastrous consequences for spawning. The LLRA has lobbied relentlessly for a change either in the positioning of the culverts or, better still, replacing the culverts with a bridge-like structure. On several occasions provincial fisheries officers have supported the LLRA’s interventions, but the Ministry of Highways has failed to make the improvements.

Appendix B Rationale for Study and the Importance of Dr. Ken Ashley’s Participation

Can Lajoie Lake be Restored?

According to Dr. Ken Ashley, before the problems being experienced at Lajoie Lake can be correctly dealt with, the specific causes of these negative forces at work must be scientifically identified. From his experience, Dr. Ashley believes that what is happening to this lake is not an unusual occurrence in British Columbia. Dr. Ashley has studied many such cases, and these cases have successfully responded to restoration methods.

On his visit to the lake over July 30 -31, 2020, Dr. Ashley was fully confident that this lake can be treated and restored. His education and experience as a limnologist abundantly qualify him to undertake this challenge. His credentials and expertise in the practical application of limnological science are cited below. A diligent survey of Dr. Ashley’s many publications related to lake restoration methods undertaken may be reviewed by following the hyperlinks shown there.

The Rationale for the Lajoie Lake Research Project:

Background to the Funding Request

The effects of the detrimental ecological forces at work in the water bodies that constitute the greater watershed of the Gun Lake-Gold Bridge-Bralorne area have been recognized for some time. Among these lakes and rivers, Lajoie Lake is probably the most vulnerable due to its somewhat unique characteristics and its relatively small size. Therefore, it is probably the first lake in the region to show these negative changes in a significant way and probably is the lake most at risk to continue to suffer the consequences of whatever is at the root of these changes. What can be learned from further scientific research of Lajoie Lake could be directly applicable to other lakes in this region. And when causes and effects in the Lajoie Lake case become identified, and solutions found, a strategy could be formulated to deal with other lakes suffering a similar decline in the entire watershed.

The Bridge River Valley community leaders have an obligation to address the negative ecological impacts underway in the area’s watersheds. The problems at Lajoie Lake are a warning sign, and we need to know what has happened, what is happening and now we must find a way of stopping what is going on. We need to identify specific causes that, if allowed to continue, will lead to calamity for the area’s residents, a danger to their health and well-being, as well as the negative impact on the area’s economy in the light of impending climatic change. The community leaders must learn how to recognize these impacts, their causes, and effects and how best to interfere with and/or live with and mitigate the effects of these changes.

To advance the understanding of what is going on at Lajoie Lake, the LLRA commissioned a research project in 2017. The LLRA financed this project with a grant-in-aid from the SLRD. The work was carried out by Cascade Environmental Resource Group Ltd. and their report: Lajoie Lake: Report of Limnology Data Analysis and Anecdotal History (1930s-

Page 180 of 188 Request for Funding - British Columbia Conservation Foundation - Lajoie ...

2017) was submitted to the LLRA in January of 2018. The full report is available on the Gun Lake Ratepayers Association website at https://gunlakeratepayers.ca/lajoie-lake-little-gun/.

For many years, the residents of Lajoie Lake and interested observers of nearby communities have followed the lake's changing conditions and have participated in the collection and compilation of data tracking these changes. The LLRA sought to gain a scientific understanding of these phenomena. The data collection has benefitted from the assistance of the British Columbia Lake Stewardship Society (BCLSS), local scientifically trained individuals, universities, various government bodies and non-governmental organizations. All studies that have emerged from these efforts have been somewhat useful but inconclusive; no definitive understanding has been gained that could lead to corrective action.

The Cascade Report was bare of conclusions as to why the lake is suffering these negative changes. However, the report's conclusions are worth reading as they draw attention to what has been missing in data collection and analysis and suggest the direction in which future research should go. In short, the Cascade Report stated that any analysis that could be done on existing data is extremely limited.

The Cascade Report concluded: For more than 30 years the residents of Lajoie Lake, with contributions from interested individuals, have documented changes to the lake leading to speculation that it may be atrophying. Despite the anecdotal evidence of declining lake health, the residents have received little government assistance to monitor and evaluate the lake. The analysis presented in this report is based on all existing publicly available limnological and biophysical data collected from Lajoie Lake. But for the monitoring study carried out by the BC Lake Stewardship Society (BCLSS) in conjunction with the Ministry of Environment, limnological data collection from Lajoie Lake has lacked a methodical approach. Due to the inconsistencies in the parameters that were sampled and inconsistent data collection times, statistical analysis of the data was not possible. As such it is not possible to use the data to form an understanding of the forces impacting the lake or to adequately determine if the lake is atrophying. This report highlights the need for a long-term monitoring study with carefully identified parameters as well as a schedule for data collection that can be used to assess the health of the lake and to detect changes over time. (Cascade Report, p. 28)

In its Executive Summary, the Cascade Report writes this startling comment: Studies conducted on the lake in combination with nutrient measurements taken from the lake but not formally reported have been inconclusive in determining if the lake is in fact undergoing the process of eutrophication. Certain water quality measurements taken from Lajoie Lake suggest the lake is undergoing the process of eutrophication while others suggest it is in an oligotrophic or mesotrophic state. (Cascade Report, p. v)

[Writer’s note: the two conditions – eutrophication and oligotrophic are opposite conditions which indicate the sad state of understanding of what is causing the deleterious changes that are underway at Lajoie Lake. Without having a scientifically based understanding of the state of the lake, one cannot choose from among the several restoration programs that are available that could lead to the desired improvements.]

Proposed Future Research on Lajoie Lake

As outlined above, the LLRA is proposing further research on Lajoie Lake to follow up on the Cascade Report's recommendations and build on those recommendations. Also, we seek to follow the directives of Dr. Ken Ashely, a world-class research director from the BCIT-Rivers Institute, whom the LLRA has succeeded in attracting to this project. Dr. Ashley sees the research project taking place over the coming year, beginning with selecting a graduate student in limnology in the fall of 2020, then fieldwork starting in May of 2021 and a final report presented in April of 2022.

In the Cascade Report, the recommendations are as follows:

1) A freedom of information request should be made by the LLRA to obtain all existing studies or data related to Lajoie Lake.

2) Residents should seek expert advice and assistance to conduct a baseline biological research project of the Lake and it circumstances. Such a study would provide a scientific background against which tests of challenging hypotheses regarding the situation with the Lake could be tested.

3) A paleolimnology assessment of the Lake should be carried out where cores of bottom sediments are analysed to scientifically document the historical natural and anthropogenic changes the Lake has experienced.

4) Once the baseline study is complete a long-term monitoring study should be carried out on the Lake to detect changes to fish population and health, nutrient levels, aquatic vegetation growth rates and sediment accumulation.

5) A biological, systematic research project of Lajoie Lake should be undertaken under expert advice and supervision to gather data over time in a consistent manner to permit conclusive analysis to ultimately direct remedial action. The project should include a study of fish and other aquatic life forms, vegetation, etc. (Cascade Report, p. 29)

Proposed Research Director

As stated above, the LLRA has been corresponding for some time with Dr. Ken Ashley; we have adequately explained the relationship with the BCIT and SFU in this appeal's main body. However, it is worth noting that Dr. Ashley is also currently the Rudy North Chair in River Ecology at the BC River’s Institute. The full story of the BC Rivers Institute can be found at:

https://commons.bcit.ca/riversinstitute/.

A portion of that reference is copied here:

The British Columbia Rivers Institute (BCIT) is focused on the protection and restoration of rivers, streams, estuaries, lakes and wetlands in British Columbia. We accomplish our mission by teaching the theory and practice of aquatic ecosystem restoration to full and part time students and industry professionals enrolled in the Ecological Restoration Degree Program. We provide guidance and expertise for community-based restoration initiatives, conducting applied research, and mentoring the next generation of ecological restoration professionals.

Dr. Ashley is in great demand in British Columbia and in many parts of the world where water bodies, big and small, are under stress and need corrective measures to be restored. His vast experience in dealing with distressed water bodies can be verified by reviewing his lengthy publication and research record:

https://commons.bcit.ca/riversinstitute/our-team/ken-ashley/.

Dr. Ashley has committed to trying this fall (2020) to recruit a student coming into the graduate program at BCIT-SFU in the limnology stream of studies to work on the Lajoie Lake project. He has agreed to oversee the research if a graduate student can be found (this may be somewhat more difficult than usual considering the current pandemic (Covid-19) crisis and if funding can be assured by October of 2020. If funding can be assured this year, but if an acceptable graduate student cannot be found, the LLRA respectfully requests that this funding arrangement be held over for this project for the next period beginning in the fall of 2021.

Dr. Ashley has been deeply involved in the restoration of many similar lakes in British Columbia over the last 25 years. His willingness and enthusiasm to apply his knowledge and expertise to Lajoie Lake is a most exceptional opportunity for this community. The project offers to reverse the decline in one of the area’s most beautiful lakes and restore it to its former place in the Bridge River Valley’s hierarchy of attractive and unique tourism and recreation sites.

Dear Director Birch-Jones:

RE: Grant-in-Aide Funding Request for Skate Lillooet

Skate Lillooet is respectfully requesting Grant-in-Aide funding of $2,000 from Area B of the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District Select Funds. The funds will be used towards ice rental costs, wages for the coach and program assistants. Provided COVID-19 restrictions have eased by March 2021, funding will also be used towards the annual skate show expenses including costumes, decorations, and additional practice time.

A registered not-for-profit Society since 1996, Skate Lillooet’s purpose is to encourage the interest, development, instruction, practice, enjoyment, and advancement of its members in all aspects of figure skating in accordance with the Rules and Policies of the Canadian Figure Skating Association.

Skate Lillooet encourages participation in skating to youth within the District of Lillooet, the First Nation communities of T’it’q’et, Sekw’el’was, Xwisten, Xaxli’p, Ts’kw’aylaxw, and Tsalalh, as well as communities within Area A and Area B of the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District. Ice skating and related events offer many benefits to participants, spectators, and communities. Importantly, it contributes to physical, mental, and emotional health and wellness.

Skate Lillooet’s membership for 2019/2020 season included 95 skaters, 20 program assistants, and one coach. Due to COVID-19, this year’s Season 1: September to December 2020, membership has dropped to 50 skaters, 8 program assistants, and one coach. Also due to COVID-19, restrictions from Skate Canada have forced community skating organizations to turn away the youngest, inexperienced skaters. This decline has resulted in a loss of nearly 50% of registration revenue; however, the expenses remain unchanged.

Skate Lillooet generates revenue through membership registrations, fundraising initiatives, donations, and grants. Skate Lillooet has applied for a Community Gaming Grant for the

Dear Ms. Birch-Jones

Thank you for your interest in the new Inter-City Bus program, Owl Bus, which was recently granted a Provincial Transportation Branch licence to run twice weekly from Kamloops to Whistler. While the bus route is operated by owner/operator Jill Stainsby, the Woman's Leadership Council is planning to assist vulnerable people to access the OWL bus as needed.

The Women's Leadership Council is creating a fund to assist with transportation when women and children, and other vulnerable people, are at risk and need to leave their homes and/or community. Owl Bus will provide transportation via the regular schedule and will be on call to these vulnerable clients via the Lillooet Friendship Centre.

The Lillooet Friendship Centre Society who over sees the Woman's Leadership Council would like to make a request for a donation of $2000.00 to support this initiative, earmarked for Owl Bus services as requested by us. The Lillooet Friendship Centre will oversee this transportation fund to assist all vulnerable clients. We very much appreciate your interest in the Woman's Leadership Council project and look forward to your response. st:;rJ,
