Citizens and leaders of communities, business and transportation organizations from across British Columbia have now let us know what priorities are most important to them, and the ideas and suggestions we have received will be invaluable in identifying potential improvements and helping to shape the future of transportation in our province. The plan and the report sharing the outcomes of the engagement process will be published early in the spring of 2015. In the meantime, thank you again for taking part in this process.

DISTRICT OFSECHELT We are residents of 6306 Baillie Rd. and wish to express our dismay at the removal of the bollards. We, to say the least, feel betrayed. In past history, concerned neighbors had negotiated with the District of Sechelt Staff, Council and the Tyler Heights developer. Baillie Rd. was and is designated as a neighbourhood road in the OCP. Baillie was not intended to carry the traffic generated by the Tyler Heights development. A documented meeting that was held in the District Office Board Room, involved Planning, Engineering, Fire Department and Council Members, as well as the Developer and their Design Engineers. The bollards, turf and stone payers was an agreed solution and became a condition of councils approval of the rezoning. It was enshrined in the land use contract for the Tyler Heights development. Flexible bollards replaced the metal ones some time later to allow for Emergency vehicles. We have noticed a definite increase in traffic volume daily, including increased traffic noise level. On special holidays and family gatherings etc. cars park on both sides of the road permitting only one vehicle to access the road. Many residents have dogs and young children, visiting grand children, a huge concern with increased traffic. We witnessed one very near accident at the stop sign on the corner of Baillie and Oracle recently, when a vehicle coming down Baillie failed to make a complete stop. Drivers are speeding down the hill. We ask that Council please hold up the OCP and The Land Use Contract, amd keep the bollards in place. Thank-you for your consideration.

O— Of As you may know the Coalition of Child Care Advocates of BC and the Early proposed the $lOaDay Child Care Plan - a Community Plan for a Public System of Inäted Early Care and Learning which has garnered unprecedented support across British Columbia and interest across Canada. Our ‘made in BC’ Plan emerged through an extensive community process that offers a concrete strategy to meet the needs of BC children, women, families, and employers with quality $lOaDay child care, no-user fees for families who earn less than $40,000 a year, increased number of quality spaces including for children with special needs, and $25/hour average wages for Early Childhood Educators. Supporters of the $lOaDay Plan now represent 2 million British Columbians. Thirty-three local governments, 27 school boards, community organizations, labour, medical health officers, businesses, politicians, academics, media, plus thousands of parents and grandparents support the Plan. The long list of organizational support is enclosed which includes three supportive resolutions from recent UBCM conventions. Importantly, the Plan advocates for Indigenous Peoples and First Nations to have the power and resources to govern and design their own early care and learning services to meet the vital cultural needs of their communities as affirmed by the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Child care is necessary for parents, especially mothers, to participate in the work-force, to further education, and for their children to thrive. Because you’re aware of how important quality child care services are for healthy children, women’s equality, families, businesses, community and economy, and that educators deserve a living wage, we are writing to ask you to add your name to those endorsing the BC Plan. We at the, District of Sechelt, endorse the $lOaDay Child Care Plan proposed by the Coalition of Child Care Advocates of BC and Early Childhood Educators of BC. This Plan has the potential to make a real difference for BC children, women, families and employers. We urge the BC provincial government to commit to the Plan’s vision and work with communities to immediately begin its implementation. More information on the Plan is available at http://www.cccabc.bc.ca/plan. We also welcome invitations to present the Plan. Don’t hesitate to contact us if you have more questions and please let us know at [email protected] if you do endorse the Plan.
