DIRECTOR Director Wall joined the meeting at 9:11 a.m. PRESENT 1.5 DELEGATIONS 1.5.1 Community Futures Central Kootenay: Cannabis Business Transition Initiative Paul Kelly Cannabis Business Transition Initiatives Manager Paul Kelly gave a presentation to the Board regarding the Cannabis Business Transition Initiative (CBTI). The CBTI has been funded for a two year period and is Regional District of Central Kootenay May 20, 2021 3 ending July 9, 2021. The total program budget was $955,000 over the two years with contributions from local municipalities and the RDCK of about $15,000. Mr. Kelly discussed the CBTI timeline for the past two years from the conception of the project, to hiring staff and working with stakeholders, to interpreting and understanding policy, to designing the program. He discussed the general program intake and the aim to have 106 clients with Cannabis licenses by the project end date. The CBTI is looking at the future and has been examining possible follow-up business services to assist with the emerging sector. Mr. Kelly went over the functions of the CBTI from holding public information workshops on cannabis business licensing to business planning and financial projections. The CBTI provides license application support and assists with networking and sales connections. The CBTI has helped many clients throughout the region to understand legislation and work towards creating a successful Cannabis business. Mr. Kelly gave an overview of the Cannabis Economic Development Council, administered by Abra Brynne, and the 20-member task force that is made up of industry stakeholders, municipal and provincial partners with geographic representation throughout the region. They provide opportunities to discuss development needs within the emerging industry from a Kootenay perspective and help the Province with resource development, business financial modelling, and policy feedback. Emerging sector support is critical. Mr. Kelly identified that infrastructure costs are very high to begin operations in the legal cannabis market and the Health Canada guidance documents are very difficult to read and interpret. Health Canada does not have a mandate to support micro cultivators and does not give tangible guidance to micro-applicants. It will likely be 5-6 years before more cultivators are able to secure a license and achieve market viability to generate revenue. In conclusion, Mr. Kelly discussed the next steps and that the Provincial and Federal governments have been approached to continue or expansion the funding for CBTI. Mr. Kelly answered the Board’s questions. Chair Watson thanked Mr. Kelly for his presentation. 1.5.2 Be Amazing Campaign Cathy Peters Educator Cathy Peters gave a presentation to the Board regarding human sex trafficking and sexual exploitation for the purpose of prostitution. She identified that it is very lucrative and is the fastest growing crime in the world, targeting the most vulnerable and our children. Today’s slavery has low costs and huge profits; a trafficker can make $280,000 per victim, per year. Average age of entry into prostitution is 12-14 years of age in Canada, although traffickers are targeting children as young as 8 years of age. There is a dramatic increase in child exploitation and child pornography (production and consumption). Unchecked pornography on the internet fuels the sex trade creating an increasing demand for paid sex. The biggest problem we have in Canada: people do not know we have a problem here; therefore the traffickers are developing the sex industry exponentially. Every woman and child, Regional District of Central Kootenay May 20, 2021 4 the marginalized and vulnerable will become a potential target and victim, unless we do something to stop it. Information provided from the Be Amazing Campaign website. Ms. Peters indicated that 54% of the victims are indigenous and there is very little education within B.C. regarding human sex trafficking. She discussed contributing factors to human sex trafficking and gave examples of business covers that encourage sexual exploitation. She identified it is very important for communities to reduce demand of sexual content to diminish supply. She indicated that many victims are being targeted at schools and through social media. A trafficker can lure a victim within five minutes of using a social media platform. Ms. Peters provided many helpful resources to educate people within our communities and encouraged the Board to visit, www.beamazingcampaign.org. In conclusion, Ms. Peters requested: to be able to present to stakeholders within the Central Kootenay region; that the RDCK send a letter to the Premier and Solicitor General indicating that human sex trafficking crime is a priority in B.C. and to request funding to bring awareness to the campaign; that the RDCK support B.C.'s need for a interagency Human Sex Trafficking Task Force, similar to what is available for drugs and gangs, and similar to Alberta, Manitoba and Ontario; and that the RDCK write a letter of support to address Human Sex Trafficking, Sexual Exploitation and Child Sex Trafficking in B.C. Ms. Peters answered the Board’s questions. Chair Watson thanked Ms. Peters for her presentation. 2.

It would compare both the Balfour terminal and Queens Bay terminal. Kootenay Lake Ferry Map Kootenay Bay to Queens Bay sailing distance is 5.4 km Kootenay Bay to Balfour sailing distance is 8.8 km The Opportunity • Relocate the Balfour ferry terminal to QueensBay and improve safety, reduce emissions, improve service, reduce operating costs for 9,000,000 ferry users over the next 25 years. • In addition, a smaller ferry can be built and would be able, due to the significant reduction in crossing time, to surpass the car carrying capacity of the new proposed 60 car ferry during a major transportation disruption of the Kootenay Pass. • It would improve the economic and societal benefits in the Kootenay region Project Review Balfour terminal • A new ferry is required for both scenarios since the Balfour ferry needs to be decommissioned and the Osprey 2000 will need to be refurbished in 2023. • The Balfour ferry terminal needs to be refurbished, with a large parking lot extension over green space. Minor improvements at Kootenay Bay. • No significant improvement in service since travelling time remains the same.
