8.4.6 For Information: UBCM Resolution - Collaborative WildfireMitigation UpdateThe Collaborative Wildfire Mitigation resolution going to the 2020UBCM Remote Conference has been updated.

Whereas local governments and First Nations have for more thanten (10) years taken leadership of wildfire risk reduction activitiesthrough accessing various provincial funding opportunities, toreduce our communities’ wildfire risk including through the UBCMStrategic Wildfire Prevention Initiative, UBCM CommunityResiliency Investment Program, and Forest Enhancement Societyof BC;

And whereas local governments and First Nations are on the frontline for community engagement through educating the publicregarding wildfire risk reduction and providing concerns and inputinto proposed plans (e.g. Community Wildfire Protection Plans,

8

fuel prescription or implementation); this work can take monthsfor staff to ensure local governments are aligned with science,best practices and community context;

And whereas the Province has recently changed the deliverymodel for fuel treatments adjacent to communities, but the newCrown Land Wildfire Risk Reduction program has not clearlyidentified the role of local governments and First Nations:

Therefore be it resolved that UBCM urge the Province to committo establish and support regional wildfire mitigation planningtables that include local governments and First Nations, provincialagencies (FLNRORD, BC Wildfire Service), licensees includingCommunity Forests, water user groups, Fire Smart committees,and BC Parks, andother interested groups;

And be it further resolved that the regional planning tables will:

Identify priorities for planning and implementation ofwildfire risk reduction activities;

•

Align funding from CRI and other sources;•

Coordinate public engagement;•

Ensure collaborative communication between allstakeholders;

•

Ensure effective sharing of techniques, methods andprocesses between regions;

Chair Watson welcomed Andrea Wilkey and a few of the EDPN team members to the remote Board meeting.

Andrea Wilkey gave a presentation to the Board regarding the EDPN, their strategic priorities and their response to COVID-19. The EDPN was formed in 2014. There are 25-30 members who are working towards advancing economic development through active collaboration and building a strong network to improve the impact of economic development practitioners in the Columbia Basin/Boundary region.

Ms. Wilkey identified the three (3) 2020-2023 priorities for the EDPN:

1. Raising Awareness/Active Outreach; 2. A Future-Focused EDPN; and 3. Continue Core Activities.

The EDPN believes in strong collaboration and identifying the economic needs within the region. The EDPN has hosted many collaboration calls on topics of interest, such as housing, farmers markets, shopping local, cannabis, film industry, Kootenay Branding and COVID-19. The focus of the calls are to educate and share insight with those in the business industry, local governments, non-profit organizations and post-secondary.

Ms. Wilkey acknowledged the impact that COVID-19 pandemic has had on the local economy and she reviewed the BC Chamber of Commerce survey findings from the BC businesses. The survey painted a dire picture of how the businesses have been greatly affected by the pandemic. She discussed the EDPN's response to COVID-19 and the actions that are being taken to help the local economy. The EDPN hosted a regional economic planning session to confirm and rank the regions economic recovery priorities and to begin looking at the next steps. Ms. Wilkey went through some of the priorities and the importance of having regional collaboration and creating a Regional Economic Recovery plan. The EDPN wants to avoid duplication of initiatives across several small communities and wants to speak as one voice to key partners and funders about regional priorities. She indicated the importance of communicating with all local governments within the Columbia Basin/Boundary region and creating a Economic Recovery Task Force that focuses on requests for funding and monitoring the results from the plan.

In conclusion, Ms. Wilkey encouraged the municipalities to include the EDPN in their conversations to help restore economic development within their communities due to COVID-19 and to work together.

Chair Watson thanked Andrea Wilkey for her presentation and the members from the EDPN team for being available for questions from the Board.

costs and reliance on mechanical systems and synthetic materials to residential construction and is further exaggerated by the BC Energy Step Code; AND WHERAS most local governments agree with the concept of reducing GHG emissions however new home ownership is deterred by adding costs of energy consultants and mandated energy solutions in areas of the province that have high land values but lower average annual income and where mechanical solutions are not relevant due to infirm power therefore adding further pressure to the affordable housing crisis in BC: THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the BC Building and Safety Standards Division assess regional financial disparities making building affordability and flexible low cost building methods a priority for the revision of the BC Building Code in 2022; AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that additions to building code that are beyond structural integrity and safety be addressed through incentives, not punitive or prescriptive measures.

9. DIRECTORS' MOTIONS

9.1 Director Jackman: Cell Tower - Riondel The following question was posed to Director Jackman by Riondel residents: How is it possible that the RDCK gave a green light to Industry Canada/Spectrum Kelowna, without addressing any concerns of Riondel residents in opposition of this location?

Director Jackman responded as follows: As for evidence of shortcomings or failures in the consultation process undertaken by Telus, I have two emails from (Resident #1 name redacted) (15 May and 19 May 2020) stating he did not receive a response to the comment sheet he submitted during the 2019 open house. I have a little less clear statement from (Resident #2 name redacted) in an email dated 08 June 2020 where he states he wrote numerous letters to Telus and only received one reply in September 2019, but he was not specific as to whether he received a response to his comment sheet submitted at the open house (ie within the time line for the public consultation period). I have a third item which is a letter to me dated 05 June 2020 (scanned and relayed by email from others) in which (Resident #3 name redacted) states in writing that she did not receive any response to her comment sheet submitted at the 2019 open house plus she states she filled in a second comment sheet and sent it to Telus via registered mail (she has the tracking sheet) 10 days prior to the end of the consultation period and that she did not receive a response to that. So out of my current list of emails (336 between sent and received in the folder and counting) I have two people with a specific claim and one possible claim that they did not receive a response from Telus during the consultation period. On 22 May 2020 Telus did admit they failed to send out one response due to an incorrect email address but did not say who it was.


429/20 That due to concerns raised regarding the consultation process undertaken by Telus

Communications Inc. regarding the installation of a monopoled telecommunication tower in the community of Riondel, and with reference to resolution 681/19 being:

WHEREAS Telus Communications Inc. proposes to erect a monopoled telecommunication on lands at located at 315 Fowler Street in the community of Riondel and legally described as Lot 5, Block 1, District Lot 461, Kootenay Land District, Plan NEP5803 (PID 013‐289‐179);

AND WHEREAS proponents of telecommunication towers are regulated by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISEDC) on behalf of the Government of Canada and are required by ISEDC to consult with land use authorities as provided for in CPC‐2‐0‐03;

66


54

AND WHEREAS Telus Communications Inc. has consulted with the Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) accordingly and there is no objection to the proposed telecommunication tower;

AND WHEREAS Telus Communications Inc. has consulted with the public by notifying all property owners and occupants within three times the tower height and has provided 30 days for written public comment;

AND WHEREAS there are no significant land use issues identified through the consultation;

NOW THEREFORE be it resolved that the RDCK staff be instructed to advise that:

1. Telus Communications Inc. has satisfactorily completed its consultation with the Regional District of Central Kootenay;

2. The Regional District of Central Kootenay is satisfied with the public consultation process and does not require any further consultation with the public; and

3. The Regional District of Central Kootenay concurs with the proposal to construct a wireless telecommunications facility provided it is constructed substantially in accordance with the plans submitted to it and described;

the RDCK Chair send a letter to Industry Canada (copied to Telus) on behalf of the Board expressing our concerns over the accuracy of the Telus report on the public consultation process and ask that Industry Canada require Telus to respond to concerns and be prepared to revisit the public consultation process if they choose to proceed with the project.

CONNECTION LOST AT 9:06 a.m. CONNECTION RE-ESTABLISHED & MEETING COMMENCED AT 9:12 a.m. 2. ECONOMIC RECOVERY GRANT FUNDED PROJECT OPPORTUNITIES

Commission discussed the following items that may be applicable to new provincial and federal economic stimulus funding. 2.1 NDCC OFFICE SPACE

REFERRED from May 26, 2020 meeting REFERRED from March 10, 2020 Meeting REFERRED from January 28, 2020 meeting REFERRED – August 15, 2017

Marty Benson provided an overview of page 7 of the Nelson & District Master Plan – Future Recreation Campus Opportunities document from April 16, 2014 which included concept plans for renovating Nelson & District Community Complex front desk, Fitness Centre and staff offices. It was noted that there is a general lack of adequate office space for current staffing levels and with the need for social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic this need has only increased. Also discussed was the need for work to be done to the front desk area, aside any long-term office renovation plans. The front desk area requires acoustical treatment to reduce noise and the addition of a Plexiglas barrier to protect staff during the COVID-19 pandemic as well as repair or replacement of the sliding metal security gate used afterhours. An option under consideration is to have glass panels installed around the front desk, counter to ceiling, and a glass door into the office area. This would provide the needed barrier, reduce noise (eliminate the need for acoustical treatment) and improve security for staff. Commission discussed the cost of pursuing more detailed plans to expand upon concepts touched on in the Nelson & District Master Plan – Future Recreation Campus Opportunities document and the need to consult with the public.

89


Direction to Staff That in the fall of 2020 staff prepare for discussion on public consultation for the Nelson & District Community Complex Recreation Campus and revisiting the following resolution: “That the RDCK hire a consultant to review indoor Nelson & District Community Complex Campus facilities and further that there be broad public consultation to identify what the community is willing to provide through recreation services.”

2.2 NDCC CAPIAL INFRASTRUCTURE REPLACEMENT REPORT – UPDATED

The Commission Report dated June 16, 2020 from Marty Benson, NDCC Manager of Recreation, re: NDCC Capital Infrastructure Replacement Report - Updated, has been received.

Noted If Commissioners become aware of any specific federal economic stimulus funding or granting opportunities please forward information to Marty Benson.

3. PUBLIC TIME

Kootenay Forest Sector Collaborative

(Collaborating for a Thriving Forestry Sector in the Kootenays)

update by G Jackman

06 July 2020

Summary of meetings:

There have now been three “large group” sessions, the most recent on June 23rd, where the coalition of

industry and other stakeholders across three Timber Supply Areas (TSA’s), those being Invermere,

Cranbrook and Kootenay Lake, discussed what changes could be proposed to ensure a thriving forestry

sector over the coming years

There were 30 attendees at the June 23rd meeting, with some of the large group members being unable

to attend the virtual meeting. The working group recommendations were sent out for consideration

during the week prior to the meeting. The discussion summary for the June 23rd meeting has been sent

out to all members requesting they provide additional feedback on the proposals by July 14th. The two

active working groups will continue to meet to update their recommendations based on what feedback

was received on June 23rd.

The province had arranged Indigenous Training on rights and titles and UNDRIP for the steering

committee members during the month of June. This training is now being offered to all of the

collaborative members. I found the historical detail offered as the introduction to the training session to

be the best I have heard to date, far more comprehensive than that offered through UBCM sessions a

few years ago. I recommend we ask for this training more broadly for local government staff and

elected representatives.

The steering committee is scheduling biweekly meetings to continue to guide the working groups and

provide feedback to the large group. I expect the next large group meeting will be within less than 3

months.

As stated before, most of the draft recommendations will require more analysis and expert input if

approved to move forward at the large group meeting. Our staff still have not been directly involved to

date, although I have shared some contact information with working group members.

At the Regular meeting of June 1, 2020, Rossland City Council endorsed the following motions in support of joining the Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy, as put forth by the District of Saanich:

THAT the Mayor Joins the Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy by Submitting the commitment letter to the Global Covenant of Mayors

THAT Council directs staff to deliver on the commitments made within the letter and outlined in the report from the District of Saanich;

THAT Council directs staff to prepare correspondence to all local

June 18, 2020 Global Covenant of Mayors c/o Global CoM Secretariat Sent via e‐mail to: info@IUC‐NA.EU

Re: Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy Submission Letter

I, Kathy Moore, Mayor of the City of Rossland commit to the Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate & Energy (GCoM), joining thousands of other cities and local governments around the world currently engaged in climate leadership. GCoM envisions a world where committed mayors and local governments ‐ in alliance with partners ‐ accelerate ambitious, measurable climate and energy initiatives that lead to an inclusive, just, low‐emission and climate resilient future, helping to meet and exceed the Paris Agreement objectives. Whatever the size or location, the mayors and local leaders committed to GCoM stand ready to take concrete measures with long‐term impact to tackle the interconnected challenges of climate change mitigation and adaptation, as well as access to sustainable energy. To implement this vision, we pledge to implement policies and undertake measures to (i) reduce/ avoid greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, (ii) prepare for the impacts of climate change, (iii) increase access to sustainable energy, and (iv) track progress toward these objectives. Specifically, within three years of this commitment, we pledge to develop, adopt, use and regularly report on the following:

A community‐scale GHG emission inventory, following the recommended guidance;

An assessment of climate risks and vulnerabilities;

Ambitious, measurable and time‐bound target(s) to reduce/avoid GHG emissions;

Ambitious climate change adaptation vision and goals, based on quantified scientific evidence when possible, to increase local resilience to climate change;

An ambitious and just goal to improve access to secure, sustainable and affordable energy; and

A formally adopted plan(s) addressing climate change mitigation / low emission development, climate resilience and adaptation, and access to sustainable energy.

The targets and action plans for mitigation / low emission development must be quantified and consistent with or exceed relevant national unconditional commitments defined through the UNFCCC (Intended) Nationally Determined Contribution (NOC). The targets and action plans should be in line with National Adaptation Plans, where these exist; and should be consistent

104

with the principles around energy access and urban sustainability embodied in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We will explore the allocation of adequate staff resources and institutional arrangements. This includes governance processes, municipal structures and budget allocations to deliver on this commitment and secure continuity. We acknowledge that there may be additional regional or country‐specific commitments or requirements that we commit to follow, and that may be agreed through our city networks or through our direct engagement with local partners of GCoM. The City of Rossland acknowledges that continued engagement in GCoM and associated Regional or National Covenants, as established, is contingent on complying with the above requirements within established timeframes.

July 6, 2020 VIA EMAIL Dear Mayor and Council: Re: Disaggregated COVID-19 Data Collection I am writing to seek your support for calling on the Provincial and Federal governments to collect disaggregated COVID-19 data. At a meeting on June 22, 2020, New Westminster City Council passed the following resolution:

WHEREAS it is clear from other jurisdictions, including the United States, that the COVID-19 pandemic and other health concerns disproportionately impact racialized community members and those with who experience systemic, marginalizing barriers to healthcare access as well as precarious work; and WHEREAS BC and Canada do not capture race-based or socioeconomic data, which effectively buries the impact of illness and disease on disproportionately impacted groups within the larger aggregated data, erasing opportunities to address health inequities; and WHEREAS BC has experienced a lower than average illness and causality rate primarily because of evidence based data; and WHEREAS racialized communities and advocates have been requesting that the province collect disaggregated data; THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the City of New Westminster write to the provincial and federal Ministers of Health requesting that they collect disaggregated data including race, socioeconomic class,

112

and disability that will allow for evidence-based health care and social program interventions; and THAT the data are analyzed and interpreted with community leadership and input; and THAT the data are collected with the intention of being understood as indicators of systemic and structural oppression to identify root causes of disparity; and THAT this letter be forwarded to all BC municipalities asking to write their support as well.

We appreciate your consideration of this important matter. Yours truly, Jonathan X. Cote Mayor Cc: The Honourable Patty Hajdu, Federal Minister of Health The Honourable Adrian Dix, British Columbia Minister of Health

Message from the Premier

COVID-19 HAS TESTED PEOPLE AND BUSINESSES throughout BC in ways we never imagined.

Many of us know someone who has been infected by this dangerous virus, and tragically, some have lost people dear to them.

Our kids have struggled to understand why they can’t see their friends or hug their grandparents. And some of our neighbours have lost their jobs or closed their shops.

I join British Columbians all around our province in thanking the essential workers who have kept our grocery stores, gas stations, and pharmacies open — and the doctors, nurses and health care workers on the frontlines of the pandemic who have put themselves in harm’s way to protect the rest of us.

Your actions are making a difference. And every day British Columbians are stepping up and doing their part too.

Our combined efforts have meant BC has fared better than most. We have seen the rate of transmission decline and we are flattening the curve, but we know pandemics come in waves. COVID-19 is no different and it won’t truly be behind us until a vaccine is ready.

That time could be more than a year away. But, as we look ahead to this next stage in the COVID-19 pandemic, there are reasons to be hopeful.

į British Columbians are pulling together and your government is pulling in the same direction.

į There is already strong public awareness of the risks of transmission and people remain vigilant.

į And we are in incredibly capable hands with our public service, Dr. Bonnie Henry and the team at the Ministry of Health – their mathematical modelling has held up and provides us with a path forward.

117


We are making headway in the struggle against COVID-19 because we’re all in this together.

We can’t allow division and intolerance to take the place of our unity and determination. Let’s reject racism and hatred wherever we encounter it.

After Victoria Day, we will move further towards a recovery. With safe operations plans in place, more and more industries will reopen and get people back to work. And we will ease some of the restrictions in place to improve our quality of life, while reducing the risk of a spike in transmission.

This is not a return to normal. Moving too quickly could put all of our combined efforts and progress in jeopardy. But at each and every step forward, your government will be working with you to make sure the people who need support are getting it.

COVID-19 is a wakeup call for all of us. We need to be better prepared so our health care system and our economy are never again so dramatically impacted by a pandemic.

I know that together we can do this.

JOHN HORGAN Premier of British Columbia

Message from the Provincial Health Officer

WE HAVE UNITED IN A SINGULAR PURPOSE – to flatten our curve. Now, we have reached an important milestone with our COVID-19 pandemic in BC: we are at the end of our beginning. COVID-19 and the risks to our province are far from gone, but we can now begin to chart our path forward.

There are still many unknowns for all of us. Like others around the world, we learn more each day to guide our decision making. What we do know is that we must continue to be cautious and thoughtful in our approach to move forward safely. Our goals are clear:

į Protect lives by suppressing transmission as low as possible for our at-risk populations;

į Ensure our health system has capacity to provide quality care to non-COVID-19 and COVID-19 patients alike;

į Alleviate the physical, social and mental health challenges that come with restricting social interaction;

į Rebuild a resilient economy and provide supports for people to safely return to work; and,

į Strengthen the social fabric of our families and communities.

It is a careful balance and one that we are working hard to achieve. And, it will require every one of us to remain committed to be successful.

119


Our “new normal” is based on principles that apply to every person and every situation. These principles are the foundation of how we need to move forward with our BC plan, and will remain in place for the weeks and months ahead. These principles include:

1. Staying informed, being prepared and following public health advice;

2. Practising good hygiene – hand hygiene, avoid touching your face and respiratory etiquette;

3. Staying at home and away from others if you are feeling ill – with no exceptions – whether for school, work or socializing;

4. Maintaining physical distancing outside the household, e.g., no handshakes or hugs, keeping your number of contacts low and keeping a safe distance;

5. Making necessary contacts safer with appropriate controls, e.g., using plexiglass barriers or redesigning spaces;

6. Increasing cleaning of frequently touched surfaces at home and work;

7. Considering the use of non-medical masks in situations where physical distancing cannot be maintained, such as on transit or while shopping; and,

8. Continuing to minimize non-essential personal travel.

I have seen the strength and resilience in British Columbians that I know will hold us in good stead in the months ahead. We must continue to keep our firewall strong and remain committed to our efforts to protect our province.

Be kind, be calm, be safe.

DR. BONNIE HENRY Provincial Health Officer

120


Overview

As of May 1, 2020, more than 2,100 British Columbians have tested positive for COVID-19 and more than 100 people have died.

As the pandemic hit BC, we asked British Columbians to do their part, and they took action to stay home and help flatten the curve. With each day, the rate of growth in COVID-19 cases has steadily declined and more than 1,350 people have recovered. And we have the lowest mortality of any jurisdiction in North America or Europe with a population of more than five million.

FIGURE 1: Cumulative diagnosed COVID-19 case rates by select countries

From the outset, the focus of our efforts in BC have been on protecting people by slowing the rate of transmission.

BC’s Restart Plan is the first in a series of steps we will take together to protect people and ensure our province can come back from COVID-19 stronger than before.

121


Protective measures we’ve taken in BC have made a difference

Around the world, governments have taken different approaches to try to bend and flatten the curve of transmission — from complete lockdowns, to quarantines and varying intensities of physical distancing.

From the outset, BC established clear guidance, transparency and an evidence-based approach as hallmarks of our fight against COVID-19. Protective measures BC has taken have included:

į Providing physical distancing and hygiene guidelines for people, businesses and essential services to follow;

į Banning mass gathering of more than 50 people to reduce the risk of outbreaks;

į Closing bars, dine-in service at restaurants, and personal service operators, like barbers and dentists, to reduce the risk of transmission;

į Reducing in-classroom learning and child care;

į Requiring travelers to develop and stick to a 14-day isolation plan when arriving in BC from abroad;

į Restricting visitors to health care and assisted-living facilities to protect some of our most vulnerable people; and

į Postponing non-urgent and elective surgeries – while maintaining urgent and emergency procedures.

Working together we’ve made a lot of progress. These protective measures and restrictions have directly saved lives, but we also know that the public health benefit has come at some expense, including the economic, social and personal well-being of many British Columbians.

122


The next stage of our challenge

BC has made extensive use of modelling and planning in our decision-making process, including the Oxford Stringency Index.

While mathematical models of pandemics are just that – models – BC’s modelling has accurately predicted several key indicators in our efforts to flatten the pandemic curve, including trends in hospitalization rates, visits to ICUs and recently confirmed infections.

Data showing the movements of British Columbians indicates that, to do their part to flatten transmission, people in the province have reduced their social interactions and contact with others to about 30% of normal. By sticking with the existing protective measures, we can expect a further decline in the rate of new infections.

FIGURE 2: Contacts stay at approximately 30% (70% physical distancing)

The same mathematical modelling indicates a return to pre-COVID-19 normal in our social interactions would have a disastrous effect, dramatically increasing infections, undoing our combined efforts and putting people at risk. Even at 80%, there could be a significant spike in transmissions.

FIGURE 3: Contacts increase to 100% (return to pre-COVID-19)

New

Case

123


FIGURE 4: Contacts increase to 80% (20% physical distancing)

However, the modelling does show we can increase our rate of contact to about 60% of pre-COVID-19 normal, while maintaining a flat rate of transmission. In other words, we can double the amount of social contacts we have now and still flatten the curve.

FIGURE 5: Contacts increase to 60% (40% physical distancing)

Medical professionals speculate it could be 12–18 months before a vaccine is developed.

Until then, the challenge for all British Columbians will be modifying our behaviour and protective measures cautiously to allow for greater interactions without putting the health of our loved ones, friends and neighbours at risk.

124


How we’ll keep transmission low

WHAT THE NEW NORMAL MEANS FOR YOU

BC’s progress in the fight against COVID-19 is a direct result of the sacrifices and decisions we have all made. To continue to protect seniors and at-risk people, and ensure our health care system can respond to this dangerous virus we all have to keep doing our part – at home, in the community and at work.

į Stay at home and keep a safe distance from family when you have cold or flu symptoms, including coughing, sneezing, runny nose, sore throat and fatigue.

į No handshaking or hugs outside of your household.

į Practice good hygiene, e.g., regular hand washing, avoiding touching your face, covering coughs and sneezes, disinfect frequently touched surfaces.

į Keep physical distancing, as much as possible, when in the community; and where not possible, consider using a non-medical mask or face covering.

And in personal settings, when you’re seeing friends and family who don’t live with you:

į Only get together in small groups of around 2–6 people and keep a physical distance.

į Stay home and away from others if you have cold or flu symptoms.

If you are at greater risk (over the age of 60 or with underlying medical conditions), be informed of your risk, think through your risk tolerance and take extra precautions.

WHAT THE NEW NORMAL MEANS FOR EMPLOYERS AND PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS

The risk of transmission at busy workplaces and other institutions is a direct function of two variables: the number of contacts (the number of people present at the same time) and the contact intensity (the type of contact – i.e., close or distant, and the length of contact – i.e., brief or prolonged). These are factors we can rate as low, medium and high risks.

FIGURE 6: Reducing transmission

125


Based on these factors, steps can be taken to reduce the risk, including:

į Physical distancing measures – measures to reduce the density of people.

į Engineering controls – physical barriers (like plexiglass at checkouts), or increased ventilation.

į Administrative controls – clear rules and guidelines.

į Personal protective equipment – e.g. use of non-medical masks.

These modifications and controls, combined with the following measures, can reduce the risk of transmission.

į Create clear workplace policies that ensure people with cold or flu symptoms do not come to work.

į Implement sick day policies that allow people to be off or work safely from home when they are ill or have symptoms of a cold or flu.

į Provide work from home options, when possible, to reduce contact intensity. When it’s not an option, consider measures such as staggered shifts and virtual meetings as much as possible.

į Implement strategies that reduce the number and intensity of contacts – from greater use of non-medical masks to more checkouts and increased shopping hours.

į Clean “high-touch” areas in workplaces and retail outlets frequently and provide hand sanitizer at entrances.

į Focus on higher-risk employees including those 60+ and those with underlying medical conditions – from more flexible hours, to work from home options and workspace accommodation.

Additional measures specific to various organizational settings are being developed. More will be created as various sectors are engaged and industry or sector wide norms are adopted and required.

How we’ll start getting people back to work

Unlike many other places that imposed strict “lockdown” policies, BC’s approach was to require safe operation of a broad range of services designated as essential services, to protect our health care system and maintain access to key services and supplies. Many non-essential businesses remained open, provided they could operate safely.

PHASE 1 (WHERE WE ARE TODAY)

ESSENTIAL SERVICES OPERATING DURING COVID-19

į Essential health care and health services

į Law enforcement, public safety, first responders and emergency response personnel

į Vulnerable population service providers

į Critical infrastructure

į Food and agriculture service providers

į Transportation

į Industry and manufacturing

į Sanitation

į Communications and information technology

į Financial institutions

į Non-health essential service providers

Industries that were designated as essential services developed safe operation plans, in consultation with WorkSafeBC and in compliance with the public health orders issued by the Provincial Health Officer.

As a result, BC’s economy has continued to operate in ways other provinces haven’t. But it’s undeniable that local businesses have suffered.

Many businesses closed for other reasons, including reduced demand, such as in the retail, hospitality and export industries. Others closed to do their part in helping to flatten the curve — protecting their customers and employees.

To help these businesses and other organizations get back on their feet, we need workplace practices that ensure British Columbians feel safe, whether they are returning to work or going out as a customer. That means employers will need to engage with their employees to find the right solutions and consider the concerns and needs of their customers.

127


A SAFER RESTART WITH WORKSAFEBC

Like essential services during the pandemic, all employers must demonstrate they can operate safely. In fact, all employers are required under the Workers Compensation Act to ensure the safety of their employees at work.

As local businesses, non-profits and organizations plan for their restart, WorkSafeBC is here to help.

WorkSafeBC will work with industry associations to ensure the direction and guidance they provide to their members meets the requirements set out by the Provincial Health Officer.

WorkSafeBC will work with employers and workers through educational materials, consultation and workplace inspections to help them restart safely.

Employers will be required to:

į Review the new Health and Safety Guidelines, best practices and other resources at WorkSafeBC.com.

į Adapt these materials into appropriate COVID Safe Plans for your workplace.

Sectors that have operated during the pandemic may need to update their COVID Safe Plans to fit with updated Health and Safety Guidelines, best practices and resources.

For resources, visit WorkSafeBC.com or call WorkSafeBC’s Prevention Information Line at 888-621-7233.

A CAREFUL RESTART

BC’s restart will be a careful, step-by-step process to ensure all of our combined efforts and sacrifices are not squandered.

For the different organizational sectors to move forward, they will be asked to develop enhanced protocols aligned with the Public Health and Safety Guidelines. A cross-ministry committee of deputy ministers will monitor the process and ensure overall alignment with Public Health and Safety Guidelines and WorkSafeBC. The Provincial Health Officer will continue to provide input and advice, as needed, throughout the review process. In some instances, this will require consideration by the Provincial Health Officer of lifting or modifying existing orders before certain businesses re-open. Businesses and organizations that are not covered by a PHO order may re-open or continue to operate, but they will be expected to adopt and implement sector safety plans as they are finalized.

128




PHASE 2 (MID MAY ONWARDS)

UNDER ENHANCED PROTOCOLS

į Restoration of health services ą Re-scheduling elective surgery ą Medically related services

ç dentistry, physiotherapy, registered massage therapy, chiropractors ç physical therapy, speech therapy, and similar services

į Retail sector

į Hair salons/ barbers/other personal service establishments

į In-person counselling

į Restaurants, cafes, pubs – with sufficient distancing measures

į Museums, art galleries, libraries

į Office-based worksites

į Recreation/sports

į Parks, beaches and outdoor spaces

į Child care

PHASE 3 (JUNE-SEPTEMBER, IF TRANSMISSION RATE REMAINS LOW OR IN DECLINE)


į Hotels and resorts (June)

į Parks – broader reopening, including some overnight camping (June)

į Film industry – beginning with domestic productions (June/July)

į Select entertainment – movies and symphony, but not large concerts (July)

į Post-secondary education – with mix of online and in-class (September)

į K-12 education – partial return in June, full return in September

PHASE 4 (TBD)

CONDITIONAL ON AT LEAST ONE OF: WIDE VACCINATION; “COMMUNITY” IMMUNITY; BROAD SUCCESSFUL TREATMENTS.

į Activities requiring large gatherings, such as: ą conventions ą live audience professional sports ą concerts

į International tourism

The timing of a safe restart of night clubs, casinos and bars is a more complicated consideration. As with other sectors, industry associations will be expected to develop safe operations plans, for review, that are in keeping with Public Health and Safety Guidelines, as well as WorkSafeBC.

Resources to assist businesses and sectors as they restart their activities including new Health Guidelines and Checklists are available at WorkSafeBC.com.

129



Some next steps to make life a little easier

RE-OPENING OUR PARKS

Re-opening BC’s iconic parks, recreation sites and trails will happen in managed stages. Our priority is providing safe access and services to people throughout the province, while maintaining the safety of park staff and park operators.

BC Parks and Recreation Sites and Trails BC will reintroduce services in keeping with direction from the Provincial Health Officer.

PARKS REOPENING AT A GLANCE

į Initial park re-opening (day-use only) MAY 14

į Camping resumes JUNE 1

Beginning on May 14, 2020, those BC Parks, recreation sites and trails that can accommodate physical distancing will re-open for day use. This will include day-use sites and protected areas.

Parks and recreation sites that can safely provide existing service levels, such as garbage disposal and washroom facilities, will do so. These facilities will be cleaned more frequently.

Some areas and facilities remain closed, including playgrounds, picnic shelters and visitor centres. Check BCParks.ca for the most up to date information.

Camping at provincial parks and recreation sites will reopen beginning June 1, 2020 with some exceptions. BCParks.ca will carry information about the status of camping in provincial parks.

RE-OPENING OUR SCHOOLS

As COVID-19 spread, governments everywhere took action to slow the rate of transmission, including reducing in-classroom learning.

For most British Columbians with young children, this meant having to stay at home to look after their kids. While many workplaces have made work-from-home accommodations, that hasn’t been an option for everyone.

Our schools and educators rose to the challenge with online instruction and resources to keep our kids learning, but this placed a heavy burden on parents to support their kids as they learned at home.

We know there is no substitute for in-class instruction — and an important step toward our recovery is getting kids back into the classroom, so parents can get back into the workplace.

Initial health data indicates children are less affected than adults by the COVID-19 virus. Public health staff and officials will continue to review the health data. And the Ministry of Education and school divisions all around BC are reviewing options to allow for a safe return to school.

130

http://BCParks.ca

http://BCParks.ca


An announcement on a phased approach to resuming in-class instruction will be made in the coming weeks.

This will not be a return to normal. With weeks left in the school year, we anticipate many kids will not return to the classroom until September.

But we are also exploring ways to safely get some kids back to school before the summer, to allow more parents to return to work. How these changes unfold are the focus of intensive discussion among Ministry of Education officials, school trustees, the BC Teachers’ Federation, CUPE, and other education sector partners.

For more information on protective measures that will be required of schools and post-secondary institutions, please refer to: BC COVID-19 Go-Forward Management Strategy and Checklist.

RE-OPENING CHILD CARE AND SUMMER CAMPS

Summer camps and child care services give our kids the chance to explore their interests and develop physically, mentally and emotionally. They also allow parents to continue to work knowing their children are being well taken care of.

Like all businesses, child care centres and camps will need to take additional precautions to maintain the health and safety of their employees and the children they are caring for. For many child care centres that operated as essential services during the pandemic, they have already adapted and are operating safely. But reopening more child care centres will be a key part of getting more parents back to work.

The basics will include routine daily screening of staff and kids; frequent cleaning; and ensuring staff and children who have cold or flu symptoms do not attend child care or summer camps.

But these sectors will also be required to review and work through new practices in their specific sectoral standards such as the Child Care Setting Practice Standards.

For more information on protective measures that will be required of day cares and summer camps, please refer to: BC COVID-19 Go-Forward Management Strategy and Checklist.

131


EXPANDING PUBLIC TRANSIT SERVICES

Many of us know what it means to ride on a tightly packed bus or SkyTrain. Before the pandemic, physical distancing was not always an option.

British Columbians were quick to act on direction from the Provincial Health Officer, including staying home and avoiding unnecessary trips outside the home. This made riding public transit easier for people working in essential services.

As BC begins our restart and more people gradually return to the workplace, there will be greater pressures on our public transportation networks to help people get around safely.

Ensuring operators and passengers can safely use public transit is critical. Enhanced health and safety precautions, including frequent cleaning; wearing non-medical masks for riders and staff; use of plexiglass or physical barriers where possible for drivers; and staying home when sick will be a part of the new normal for the foreseeable future.

The safe operation of public transit is a priority for all British Columbians. Over the coming weeks, we will be working with our transit agencies on more detailed plans to gradually restore service levels as restrictions begin to lift – both to help people get around and to ensure people can continue to respect physical distancing.

132


How we’ll keep taking care of each other

SUPPORTING FAMILIES AND BUSINESSES

When the pandemic hit, the governments of British Columbia and Canada came together to identify critical supports for people, businesses and community organizations. The urgency of COVID-19 made it critical to plan, announce and deliver on vital supports for people and businesses across our province in record time.

SUPPORTS FOR INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES

į BC Emergency Benefit for Workers – a one-time, tax-free payment of $1,000 to people whose income has been affected by COVID-19

į A COVID-19 crisis supplement for people with low-incomes, people with disabilities

į BC Hydro relief

į ICBC payment relief

į Financial support through the BC Climate Action Tax Credit

į Emergency relief for families with children with special needs

į Continued support to youth in care

į New, temporary rental supplement for renters and landlords

SUPPORTS FOR BUSINESSES, ORGANIZATIONS, AND INDUSTRY

į Tax relief for commercial property owners and tenants

į Rent reduction by 75% for small businesses with federal-provincial Canada Emergency Commercial Rent Assistance Program (CECRA)

į Creating the COVID-19 Supply Hub to help source medical and non-medical products and services

į BC Hydro relief

į ICBC payment relief

į Launching the BC Business COVID-19 Support Service for one-on-one support

These supports have helped people stay in their homes, support their families and make ends meet. But we know that the recovery will take longer for some British Columbians than others. Working with the Government of Canada, local leaders and community organizations, we will be there to help them get through this.

PROTECTING PATIENTS AND OUR HEALTH CARE SYSTEM

Over the last three years, BC implemented an ambitious strategy to increase patient access to surgeries, expand priority programs and reduce wait times.

The strategy was working, providing 35,000 more people with access to critical surgery. Hip and knee replacement wait times were reduced by 11% and dental surgery wait times were reduced by 6.8%, with plans to expand both.

COVID-19 has wiped-out that progress. In March, the Province reluctantly cancelled elective and non-urgent surgeries – while still performing more than 8,200 urgent or emergency procedures. This resulted in the cancellation of thousands of scheduled elective surgeries, which was necessary to ensure British Columbians with COVID-19 would have access to hospital beds.

Beginning on May 18, 2020, elective and non-urgent surgeries will resume.

Beyond restarting elective surgeries, we will make new investments in public health and the BCCDC to ensure BC is able to undertake timely testing, case tracking and contact tracing, while also building our hospital capacity to quickly respond to a new outbreak.

WORKING WITH INDIGENOUS, RURAL AND REMOTE COMMUNITIES

We know people living in rural, remote and Indigenous communities have unique challenges in accessing the care they need. A new, collaborative framework will help ensure people living in these in communities have access to the care and unique supports they need.

134


The framework outlines immediate actions to improve health care services, including:

į Improved medical transportation options to larger centres, including flight and ambulance;

į Housing options for people looking to self-isolate near their families, while remaining in their home communities;

į New and faster COVID-19 testing technology;

į Culturally safe contact tracing that respects privacy in small communities;

į Access to virtual doctor of the day, a program that connects First Nations members and their families in remote communities to a doctor or nurse practitioner using videoconferencing;

į Options for accommodation near larger centres with more medical services; and

į Increased mental-health supports in communities.

Local leaders will determine how these services will operate in their communities, with priority being given to ensuring residents can make informed decisions about how they receive care.

135


The little things make a big difference

It will be a while before COVID-19 is behind us. Until then restrictions on large gatherings and international travel will remain. But some things will become a little easier. Over time, our parks, schools, child care facilities and camps will re-open. Neighbourhood stores and restaurants will re-open too.

Guidelines will be in place for these businesses and organizations to ensure your safety and the safety of your loved ones. We’re not through this yet, but there are important things you can do to protect you and your loved ones, neighbours and colleagues. The little things make a big difference.

į Stay informed, be prepared and follow public health advice

į Practice good hygiene (frequent hand washing, avoid touching face, cough into your sleeve, disinfect frequently touched surfaces)

į Stay at home and away from others if you’re feeling ill (don’t go to school or work sick)

į Maintain physical distancing outside your household (no handshaking or hugging, small numbers of contacts, keep a safe distance)

į Clean your home and workspace more often

į Consider using non-medical masks when physical distancing isn’t possible (on transit, shopping)

Together, we can take these actions to keep the curve flat, while doing more to improve our personal well-being, restart our economy and strengthen our connections in our communities.

Message from the Premier

THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC HAS CHALLENGED

and changed our province.

More than 2,500 British Columbians have been diagnosed with COVID-19, and, tragically, more than 165 loved ones have died. Their passing occurred despite the heroic efforts of nurses, doctors and health-care workers.

Our friends and neighbours suddenly found themselves out of work. Some people were able to keep working from home, but if they had school-age kids, it required a lot of juggling. For others living in rural communities, working from home was not an option, and some traveled to remote work sites.

Across BC, thousands more kept working in grocery stores, transportation, pharmacies and other essential services to ensure we had what we needed while we fought to flatten the curve. Many business owners did their part to help flatten the curve by taking the difficult step of closing their doors.

Even if you haven’t been touched directly by illness or job loss, you’re likely facing some uncertainty about the future. We all are.

But there are better days ahead of us.

We’ve already taken critical steps to protect people’s health, homes and incomes. In partnership with Ottawa, we’ve taken steps to maintain basic incomes, protect jobs and assist businesses. These measures are just the start.

Recently, with the guidance of Health Minister Adrian Dix and Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry, we announced our plan to carefully restart BC. Now we begin to turn our attention from a restart to recovery. But recovery means more than just returning to what we had before.

141


Like you, I know that British Columbia can bounce back better than ever. We can build a stronger, more resilient BC by putting people at the centre of every decision we make.

We can build a BC where strong public services are always there when people need them. We can meet the challenge of the climate crisis. And we can do so in partnership with Indigenous peoples to ensure that everyone can benefit from our progress.

But we can’t do it without you. This document is the start of a discussion about what kind of a province we want to build.

Throughout the pandemic, we have emphasized transparency — by explaining the problem, sharing the evidence, charting a direction. That’s the same approach we need to plan our economic recovery.

Today, I’m asking you to have your say by completing BC’s online survey, participating in a virtual townhall or replying to this paper with your ideas and priorities. We’ll be reaching out during the coming weeks and months to hear your views and hear from community, Indigenous, business and other groups across the province.

Since the pandemic began, British Columbians’ response showed clearly that we are at our best when we work together. Your input will help us shape the decisions as we invest our $1.5 billion Economic Recovery Fund and plan for our next budget.

I hope you will participate in planning BC’s recovery — to help shape it, just as you helped flatten the curve.

JOHN HORGAN Premier of British Columbia

Message From Minister of Finance and Deputy Premier

SINCE THE FIRST CASE OF COVID-19 IN BC, our government has focused on addressing the most pressing needs of British Columbians during the crisis.

We have had three main priorities: keeping people safe by supporting our hospitals and health-care workers; helping British Columbians who need it with programs like income supports; and making sure that essential services like groceries and public transit continue to be available.

The health threat of COVID-19 is far from over. But we are making progress.

Thanks to the efforts of everyone from front-line doctors to families who practiced safe physical distancing, we have flattened the curve.

We know many people are still worried about losing their jobs or their homes, and are anxious about the future. Business owners are worried about confidence. When will people feel confident enough to resume spending, and when will entrepreneurs feel the time is right to invest and expand again?

As we start preparing for the road ahead, we won’t lose sight of these immediate concerns, and we’ll keep doing everything we can to provide help to the people who need it.

Throughout the pandemic, businesses providing essential services remained open safely. In mid-May we began to restart BC, allowing more businesses and services like parks to open safely. Now it is time to begin getting our economy back to pre-pandemic levels deliberately and safely.

143


Rebuilding our economy after COVID-19 will be a massive

job. But we’re starting from a strong place. We have a lot

of advantages in BC, from our natural resources and clean

technology, to our capacity for research, to our culture

of innovation and entrepreneurship. We’re the gateway to

Asia and a major port to the US. And our most important

advantage is our people.

Our province’s inherent strengths have not been lost

during the pandemic. That is why, even though times are

tough, and uncertainty clouds the year ahead, I have never

been more optimistic about the future of British Columbia.

By building on our strengths, and drawing on new ideas,

we will restore economic growth and achieve a vibrant,

inclusive, competitive economy.

The road to recovery will not be easy, but I know we can

emerge stronger than ever.

CAROLE JAMES Minister of Finance and Deputy Premier

WHAT HAVE WE DONE SO FAR

When the pandemic hit, our government quickly put in place a $5 BILLION

COVID-19 Action Plan that protects people’s health, provides financial relief to people and businesses who need it, and builds BC’s plan for economic recovery.

Some of the measures are intended to help the majority of British Columbians. For example, BC Hydro rates have been reduced by 1 PERCENT, which helps almost all people and businesses in the province save money. Other measures are more targeted, focusing help on those who need it most.

The $5 billion action plan is designed to complement measures brought in by the federal government, to amplify the benefits to people in BC. To take one example, the federal CERB offers people who have lost work due to COVID-19 a benefit of $2000 per month. The BC Emergency Benefit for Workers (BCEBW) offers CERB recipients an additional $1,000 one-time payment.

144


How has COVID-19 affected BC’s economy?

It’s too early to calculate the full economic consequences of COVID-19, or even say what will happen to our economy in the months ahead before the virus is controlled. But we do know the economic impact of this pandemic is as bad as any we have ever seen in the history our province. Hundreds of thousands of British Columbians have lost their jobs. Everyone has a family member, friend or neighbour facing unemployment.

The crisis came about very suddenly. Like jurisdictions across the country and around the world, we are facing unemployment levels similar to those of the Great Depression — but this time they appeared in a matter of weeks, a process that took years in the 1930s.

The trigger for this crisis was also unusual. The problem did not start within the economy itself, with something like a stock-market crash or a housing bubble. This time it was a sudden, external shock that forced governments everywhere to temporarily close large parts of the economy in order to prevent many deaths and far greater economic damage.

The people who have been most affected work in the services sector, especially in public-facing jobs like retail stores, restaurants, tourism, and social services.

As a result, women and young people in particular have seen terrible increases in unemployment. Part-time, informal, and self-employed workers have also been disproportionately harmed.

The unusual characteristics of this economic downturn mean the recovery will probably look different than recoveries after previous downturns.

And since the effects have not been the same for all people, or all sectors of the economy, our rebuilding plan can’t be one-size-fits-all, either.

The COVID-19 pandemic has helped us appreciate that “front-line” workers are not just on the front lines of health care. They include the thousands of other essential workers who have kept BC moving in challenging times.

145


FIGURE 1: BC industries with biggest job losses due to COVID-19

All industries 13% 100% 54%

Accommodation and food services 50% 30% 65%

Information, culture and recreation 22% 8% 57%

Other services (except government) 29% 11% 70%

All other industries 4% 22% 49%

Grocery store clerks, truck drivers and farmers have kept the food supply chain open. Child-care workers have made it possible for nurses, firefighters and others to go to work knowing their kids are in good hands. Bus drivers have ensured public transit is there for those who need it. The list of essential workers is long. We are grateful to them all.

These examples remind us that when we talk about “the economy,” we are talking about people. The economy is not an abstract thing, separated from people’s real lives. Although we often use numbers to measure economic trends, behind those numbers are real people.

Above all else, a strong economy means one that benefits people. This understanding — that the economy is people — will guide us as we move into the next phase of our economic recovery.

Next Steps

There is still a lot of uncertainty about what will happen with the pandemic. How quickly we bounce back depends on a number of questions no one can yet answer. When will we have a vaccine? How quickly can we develop an effective treatment? We don’t know.

Still, we can and must start to move forward, with caution.

Economically, the immediate challenge is to get people back to work as quickly and safely as possible, starting with those who have been hurt the most by the pandemic.

These people include:

į Indigenous peoples and new Canadians;

į Women;

į Young adults (18 to 35 year olds);

į People earning less than $30/hr; and

į Service sector workers.

Getting people working again will not be easy. Employers must see demand for their services, so they can hire. Workers need transit to get to work and schools for their children. Consumers need confidence they can shop safely. All these factors have to come together to build our recovery.

The pandemic has exposed underlying gaps in our economy and society. We all now better appreciate the importance of workplace safety, strong public services, and our collective responsibility to take care of each other.

As we move from restart to recovery, we have the chance to address those gaps, and to do much more. We can build back better than before.

For many years, our province’s social and economic development have been hampered by a failure to acknowledge and address the title and rights of First Nations. Since the 1970s, the courts have confirmed and defined inherent title and rights, but government legislation and policies have not kept up. The results have included prolonged negotiations, protracted litigation, and confrontations — all of which have hurt First Nations and kept us all, as British Columbians, from reaching our full potential in a way we can all benefit from.

147


Those are some of the reasons why, in November 2019, the Legislature voted unanimously to pass the Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act.

Similarly, taking action on climate change and keeping BC clean opens up incredible opportunities for jobs and growth. This argument is gaining support around the world — including from organizations like the International Energy Association and former central banker (and now-UN Special Envoy for Climate Change) Mark Carney.

By building partnerships with Indigenous peoples, businesses, research and education institutions, and workers, we are moving toward a low-carbon economy. That means a cleaner province for future generations, and a strong and diverse economy based on innovation.

The choices we make in the coming weeks and months can help us build an economy — and a province — that works for everyone. Reconciliation and clean growth will be at the heart of our recovery.

While some might say we can’t afford to make significant investments now, we know that we can’t cut our way back to where we were before — let alone to a better, fairer, more sustainable and more prosperous future.


Supporting People – HighlightsPeople whose ability to work has been affected by the outbreak can get a tax-free $1,000 one-time payment, the BC Emergency Benefit for Workers (BCEBW) to supplement the CERB.

About 86 PERCENT of British Columbians will receive enhanced payments up to $564 in July 2020 through an expanded BC Climate Action Tax Credit.

Renters will get help through temporary relief of up to $500/MONTH, a moratorium on most evictions during BC’s emergency order, and a freeze on new annual rent increases by landlords.

ICBC customers on a monthly Autoplan payment plan, who are facing financial challenges due to COVID-19, can DEFER

THEIR PAYMENT for up to 90 days with no penalty.

BC Hydro customers who have lost income can receive a three-month credit, saving the average residential customer $477.

148


Putting BC values into our recovery

Before COVID-19, BC had one of Canada’s fastest growing economies and lowest unemployment rates. But for years, many people and communities had not seen the full benefit of all that growth.

Some of those inequities have become even more noticeable during the pandemic. For example, for people in communities where broadband access is unavailable or unaffordable, working from home may be impossible. For workers in sectors like film or tourism, the pandemic has had a devastating and potentially long-lasting impact. In other sectors, like transportation or the resource sector, employment has been hit less hard, but there is still increased uncertainty about what the future holds.

The pandemic has also reminded us how important our health care system is to our quality of life, and how many rely on mental health services and personal care homes.

The pandemic has affected people across our province — from Port Hardy to Cranbrook, Surrey to Fort Nelson. But COVID-19 is also a chance to take stock and start building a better BC. We can’t go back to an economy that only benefited those at the top, while leaving others behind.

We believe that everyone deserves the chance to learn, work and build a secure future with a good quality of life. We believe that public services should be there when people need them. We are convinced we must continue to confront the threat of climate change and the need for reconciliation with First Nations.

There are some key values we all share as British Columbians.

ONE IS A COMMITMENT TO EQUITY – economic opportunity should be available to all. Everyone should have an opportunity to improve their standard of living and participate fully in their local community.

A SECOND IS TAKING CARE OF EACH OTHER THROUGH

CO-OPERATION AND PARTNERSHIP – we’re stronger when we work together, from little things like checking in on elderly neighbours or coaching a team, to providing quality public services like health care to everyone.

A THIRD IS SELF-RELIANCE – we have what it takes to build an innovative, creative economy that competes with the best, not one that works only for those at the top and leaves others behind. We value our environment and are committed to a low-carbon economy that achieves our commitment to fight climate change.

149


AND A FOURTH IS OPTIMISM AND SENSE OF URGENCY

– the conviction that working together we can build ourprovince even better than before, recognizing we alsoneed to act boldly now because people are hurting.

Coming out of COVID-19, our priorities for a stronger BC include:

į STRENGTHENING OUR HEALTH CARE SYSTEM – making sure we’re ready for future threats and that people can always get the care they need, including mental-health services;

į CREATING AND RESTORING good-paying and sustainable jobs;

į BECOMING MORE SELF-SUFFICIENT – growing BC’s manufacturing capacity and protecting our access to essential supplies and food security;

į IMPROVING EDUCATION, training and apprenticeship opportunities so that good jobs don’t go unfilled;

į TAKING ADVANTAGE OF BC’S ABUNDANT CLEAN ENERGY, growing an economy that is innovative and clean – and exporting made-in-BC, low-carbon services, products and technologies to the world;

į MOVING FORWARD ON MEANINGFUL RECONCILIATION with Indigenous peoples, so that we can all benefit from BC’s success;

į BUILDING THE CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE and services that all communities need to thrive — from new roads, hospitals and schools to highspeed internet;

į ENSURING THAT BC IS ON A STRONG FISCAL FOOTING, ready and able to provide the services people count on.

We were already investigating ideas to grow BC’s economy and create family-supporting jobs of the future through innovation and technology before the pandemic.

The final report of BC’s innovation commissioner, “Putting Innovation to Work for British Columbia: Growing B .C . Companies,” and the final report of the Emerging Economy Task Force were both released last month. We will draw on these recommendations to help guide us as we work with researchers and industry to grow a resilient, sustainable economy that works for people.


Supporting Business – HighlightsMost commercial property tax bills have been reduced by an average 25 PERCENT, providing up to $700 MILLION in relief. And to give commercial landlords and businesses more time to pay their reduced property taxes, late payment penalties for commercial properties have been waived until October 1, 2020.

Businesses with a payroll over $500,000 can DEFER THEIR EMPLOYER HEALTH

TAX PAYMENTS until September 30, 2020. (Businesses with a payroll under this threshold are already exempt.)

Payments for provincial sales tax (PST), hotel tax, carbon tax, motor fuel tax and tobacco tax are deferred, freeing up capital for businesses to use now when they need it.

The BC Business COVID-19 Support Service serves as a single point of contact for businesses throughout the province looking for information on resources available to them.

Small businesses that had to close due to COVID-19 can have their BC Hydro bills forgiven for three months, saving on average $363.

150


Have your say – it’s important

COVID-19 is a wake-up call that we need to be better prepared and that, although there will be financial costs, we can never again let a pandemic affect people and our economy so much.

To get there, your voice is essential. That’s why we’re asking you to share your ideas about BC’s recovery.

WHAT WE NEED TO HEAR FROM YOU

Recovering from COVID-19 is about setting priorities. Your government’s priority is people and the things that matter most in our everyday lives. Some of the critical questions that we need to answer together are:

į WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO TOGETHER to strengthen and improve our health care system? That means everything from our hospitals, clinics and personal care homes, to the medical staff and supplies.

į WHAT IS THE TOP PRIORITY for you personally when it comes to improving your quality of life? For some people that means affordable child care or housing — what does it mean for you?

į WHAT WOULD MOST HELP IMPROVE YOUR

WORK LIFE OR WORK PROSPECTS? That could mean training to allow you to take advantage of job opportunities, or affordable child care closer to home.

į ARE WE ON THE RIGHT TRACK? Do you see your concerns and needs reflected in this approach?

151


THREE WAYS YOU CAN HAVE YOUR SAY

Economic Recovery Task Force THE PREMIER’S ECONOMIC RECOVERY

TASK FORCE brings together leaders from business, labour, First Nations and not-for-profits to help ensure the Province’s economic response to COVID-19 is effective and responsive to the needs of British Columbians.

The task force meets weekly to advise government on our economic response to the COVID-19 crisis. It includes Premier John Horgan, Finance Minister Carole James, Minister of Jobs, Economic Development and Competitiveness Michelle Mungall, other members of cabinet and leaders from business organizations, including the Business Council of BC, BC Chamber of Commerce, Vancouver Board of Trade, Surrey Board of Trade, the BC Federation of Labour, First Nations organizations and the not-for-profit sector.

The task force is helping ensure the benefits of provincial programs are reaching their intended targets and complementing federal programs.

152


mailto:[email protected]



WHO ELSE WE’LL BE HEARING FROM

As conversations across the province move from restart to recovery, it is clear recovery means more than returning to the past. This is an opportunity for businesses, organizations and non-profit agencies to help us generate solutions to address the challenges they face.

Throughout the weeks and months ahead, Premier John Horgan and Finance Minister Carole James will be leading roundtable discussions with businesses, Indigenous peoples and organizations to get their ideas. These conversations will be framed to gather input on restoring consumer confidence, accelerating job creation, and supporting job security.

Engagement roundtables will also include discussions with academics and economists, youth and student groups, business owners and industry associations, social service providers, Indigenous leaders, local governments, environmental and civil society groups. Cabinet ministers and MLAs will continue reaching out to constituents, as well as sector stakeholders, local businesses and community organizations. Input received will help inform government’s economic recovery plan. Acknowledging that these stakeholders are the experts in their fields, these conversations will provide an opportunity to collaboratively create solutions to challenges facing all British Columbians.

This outreach also includes the annual budget consultations that the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia Finance Committee will hold throughout the summer months. This will be one more way that people can share their ideas.


How WorkSafeBC is helping businesses restart safely

MANY BUSINESSES IN BC operated safely throughout the pandemic. Starting in mid-May, more businesses and services have started to open.

WorkSafeBC is providing sector-specific guidelines and other resources to help businesses with their planning. Every industry or sector is being asked to build on those guidelines to develop appropriate standards for health and safety measures in their areas.

Sector standards are then reviewed by WorkSafeBC, with input from public health officials.

Individual businesses and organizations do not need to submit their own plans for review or approval, but they must make them available to their workers and their customers by posting on the premises.

WorkSafeBC inspectors and public health officials will be working to ensure businesses have their COVID-19 Safety Plan in place, that it aligns with guidelines and sector standards, and that it is being followed. This will include inspectors visiting worksites across the province.

This approach strikes a balance between public health, the health and safety of workers, public confidence that shopping or visiting a business is safe, and not asking small businesses to develop complex plans for approval before they can begin to restart and rehire people.

BC Caribou Recovery Program Update - Teleconference

April 22, 2020, 10 – 11 PDT

Hosted by:

David Muter, Executive Director, Species at Risk Recovery Branch, BC Min. of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development

Darcy Peel – Director, Caribou Recovery Program, BC Min. of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development

David Muter: Program Response to COVID-19

• The Provincial Caribou Recovery Program website has links to all COVID-19 related informationfrom the Province

• We are making some changes in our work to follow the direction of the Provincial Health Officerand do our part to support community health and safety measures, including pausing fieldwork

Budget

• Although the legislature is not sitting, a special warrant budget of 75% has been approved, so theProgram is continuing, and the balance of the budget is expected to be reviewed by government ina fall session

• A modest amount of funding is available to support Indigenous Nations’ participation in herdplanning and other caribou recovery activities – more information will be available soon

While caribou recovery work is important, it must be done in a way that respects health and safety measures and we are open to suggestions and ideas on how best to adapt to keep things moving forward

Darcy Peel

Predator Management

• Delivered this winter in a broader scope than in the past – only where without it we would have farfewer or no caribou to talk about and only where high densities of predators are having a largeimpact on caribou growth and stability

• Removed 498 wolves by air and ground in 10 different herd areas and 13 cougars mostly in thesouth Southern Mountain Caribou areas

• We will not know the impact for a while

• We do not undertake this work lightly – it is only for maintenance and to prevent extirpation

• Arrow Lakes Caribou Society approached us as they wanted to build a maternity pen (it is not a maternity pen at this time and it could be used for a number of purposes that caribou science would determine)

▪ We have discussed it with them and they understand our position ▪ They have chosen to proceed with initial steps and we are supportive

Leo DeGroot Population Inventory and Monitoring

• Sixty different projects were completed – census work, collaring, mortality investigations, and we still await some results

• Please see page 5 for herd data

Heather Wiebe Herd Planning:

• All face to face herd planning meetings have been cancelled due to COVID-19 related safety concerns

• We understand that herd planning may not be a priority for many of our clients. However: if your group would like to move forward with virtual herd planning at this time, we’d be happy to connect. Thank you to those who have been in touch to indicate their desire to continue discussions

• Pre-COVID small table sessions were planned to be 4-6 hours in length and were face to face o We are looking at what platform we could use for virtual meetings o We will be breaking up the meeting into more manageable “chunks” o We are developing some information that will be “recorded” so that participants can view

when it is most convenient to them

• If we are delayed it will NOT reduce the time dedicated to herd planning. We will take the time necessary for meaningful conversation

• In different parts of the province land use planning pilot projects are in concept – thank you to those in areas that have both herd planning and land use planning for their patience as we figure out the best way to line up these pilots with herd planning in space and time

• Please reach out to your local engagement representative or Heather Wiebe for further details:

Questions: Q: Requests for predator management and population monitoring and inventory numbers in writing. A: Committed to providing these either with meeting notes via email or on the web (or both). Q: Wells Gray numbers – could the 18% recruitment figure be because of the recent logging shutdown? A: Other measures could be having effects as well - likely a result of several long-term management actions by government and industry, including the fact that a significant area that was good moose habitat is now aging out (of being that) – need to look at longer term trends (10+years) Q: What is the maternal penning timeline? A: Had hoped for now but contractor challenges/availability have occurred (expert had health challenges). Committed to notifying Mayor Bertrand when it might be available as he has ideas. Q: Will predator management continue? A: yes – it requires a commitment of several years to see results, but it is part of a larger, longer term plan Q: Request for copy of the report the Partnership Agreement Leadership Table’s socio-economic committee will be using A: The report requires further analysis and input and contains sensitive information so cannot be released publicly. The committee is working to build a Terms of Reference to help build an understanding of how to release it and will take the time to get it right. Q: Where is predator control occurring and do we have a moose control program? A: Predator control is occurring in the Tweedsmuir-Entiako, Hart Ranges, Itcha-Ilgachuz, and Central Selkirks herds. The primary prey discussion is ongoing – there is a predator/prey working group and moose monitoring is built into its mandate. Q: Does the predator/pretty working group accept submissions? A: It is only academia and government at this point, but there is likely a place for other groups – commitment by Darcy to build into the process and follow up. Q: How are Indigenous groups managing and how are they looking at managing caribou recovery? A: Program staff are meeting with Indigenous groups in areas where we have active herd planning taking place. Due to COVID-19 the pace of the work has slowed down or stopped but we are adapting to find ways to continue engagement through alternative platforms to in-person meetings. We are working with those who can when they can. Q: When will the herd plan for Columbia/Shuswap be finished? A: Work is underway. We had hoped for completion by fall 2021. Q: Request for the North Columbia Environmental Society and other ENGOs to be involved in engagement the same way as local government, industry and snowmobiler groups. A: You are absolutely part of the conversation. We are contacting Indigenous groups first, communities second and going broader after that. Y2Y and many other environmental organizations are part of regular updates. We value your voices during these discussions (committed to confirming members NCES are on our contact list) Q: Is there any coordination between B.C. and Alberta?

160

of 5

A: Yes, we meet with neighbouring jurisdictions regularly to share data and objectives and sometimes partner/coordinate on projects. Areas where we are doing predator management are not generally adjacent to Alberta, though there are some linkages. Q: The Site C reservoir is set to start filling this fall – have we considered the effect related to caribou recovery? A: We have not really considered large ungulate displacement.

Q: Are you aware of a new five-year exploratory permit for Imperial Metals in the area near the maternity pen? A: We are aware of their past work/proposal and aware of concerns by government caribou experts, but we have no recent news on this.

To: Aimee WatsonSubject: RE: 5G ~ What you Need to Know

From: [email protected] <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, June 14, 2020 4:58 PM To: Aimee Watson <[email protected]> Cc: GRP_Info <[email protected]> Subject: 5G ~ What you Need to Know Subject: 5G ~ What you Need to Know Dear Chair Watson & Directors,

Parliament has been remote. School has been virtual. Work has been online. Recent events have shown us how important safe and affordable high-speed broadband is.

In response, telecommunication providers are racing to install 5G. Is this the best connectivity option? What rights do local governments have when it comes to 5G? And why are the limited rights municipalities do have now under threat?

5G and You

The Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) recently published Getting it right: Preparing for 5G deployment in your municipality. Although the FCM guide accurately answers the regulatory questions linked to 5G, including the potential loss of local input, it does not offer municipal governments the critical big picture information needed to understand the practical, policy and logistical implications of 5G. To support you in making well-informed telecommunication decisions, we have prepared Getting it Wrong in Getting it Right, a preamble and supplement to the FCM guide. Action Item:

Please take a moment to read the guide by clicking Here. It is also attached.

Untying Your Hands Perhaps you would like to create local 5G and small cell siting policies that reflect and protect community interests, but believe your hands are tied. The second document we have prepared and attached, Creating a Proactive Antenna Siting Protocol and Small Cell Licensing Agreement, shows you how to create the most protective policies possible given our regulatory landscape. It also covers critical liability issues which every local government should know about. Action Item:

Committee Report

Date of Report: February 07, 2020 Date & Type of Meeting: February 19, 2020 Joint Resource Recovery Committee Author: Todd Johnston, Environmental Services Coordinator Subject: SEPTAGE STRATEGY MANAGEMENT UPDATE File: 11-5500-01

SECTION 1: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The purpose of this report is to provide an update to Joint Resource Recovery Committee (JRRC) on the status of the district wide Septage Management Strategy (the Strategy), and present a 95% Draft Septage Management Plan Report (the KWL Report) prepared by Kerr Wood Leidal Consulting Engineers (KWL).

SECTION 2: BACKGROUND / ANALYSIS

RDCK currently has septage drying beds at the Ootischenia, Nakusp, and Central landfills that require upgrades or replacement, as they are not adequately meeting current and future demands in the region, have poor environmental performance, and are not meeting regulatory requirements.

In the East subregion, the RDCK is partnering with the Town of Creston to construct a septage receiving station at their wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). The Village of Nakusp currently receives septage from Areas K and H at their WWTP. Due to low disposal volumes of septage at the Nakusp Landfill, there may not be future need for this service, however further investigation to ensure that other services within the area can adequately meet subregion needs is required.

On June 19, 2019 Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) staff presented an update report to the JRRC on the status of the Strategy (See Attachment A).

On August 20, 2019, RDCK hired KWL to develop septage management options for the West and Central subregions (See Attachment B). The first phase of the study was a preliminary summary (See Appendix C of Attachment B) presenting a high-level assessment of 13 septage management options. Through this process three preferred options were identified, and conceptual planning ensued which considered service levels, regulations, greenhouse gas emissions, environmental impacts, technical pros and cons, infrastructure footprint land availability, and expected loadings on existing wastewater treatment plants.

Additionally, KWL developed cost estimates for all three options for operations and maintenance, life cycle, trucking time assessments and the assessment of a sustainable fee for septage treatment service for the preferred option. The remaining allocated project budget is intended to support finalized detailed assessment of a preferred option, as directed by the JRRC.

Staff collected septage samples for analysis from various haulers during disposal events at Ootischenia in October and November of 2019. Nine samples were taken to characterize the strength and composition of the waste and also to determine the implications and impacts to treatment options. An additional 12 samples will be collected periodically in early spring 2020. During sampling events, haulers were asked to fill out a brief questionnaire related to determine source, volumes, onsite (septic) systems used, and to determine if prohibited non-domestic waste is being discharged to RDCK drying beds, e.g., grease trap, catch basin waste etc. This information was shared with KWL as a component of the study.

173

Septage Management Strategy Update JRRC – February 19, 2020 Page 2

Staff also reached out to haulers disposing of septage at RDCK facilities via a telephone questionnaire, inwhich three businesses participated. This questionnaire was designed to inform haulers of sampling requirements, identify hauling distances, challenges, RDCK facilities used, and information pertaining to handling of non-domestic waste. In January 2020, RDCK staff mailed out a letter (Attachment C) to known haulers operating in the region to inform them of the Strategy and to encourage them to participate in an online survey to provide feedback on their experience, preferences, and challenges. The survey was also provided in hard copy for drop off at a number of RDCK facilities. This survey will be open until February 29, 2020.

95% Draft Septage Management Plan Report

The KWL Report presents an in-depth review of the three preferred options:

Option A: Treat septage at the City of Castlegar’s Lagoons along with Castlegar’s wastewater (Lagoons Option);

Option B: Upgrade the existing septage drying beds at the Central Landfill (Drying Beds Option), and;

Option C: Develop a septage composting facility next to the future domestic composting facility, at Central Landfill (Composting Option).

Option A: Castlegar Lagoons

The City of Castlegar operates wastewater treatment lagoons, which currently service sewered properties at the north end of Castlegar (approximately half of their population). The lagoons are a series of three cells, the first two which provide settling and mechanical aeration and then final settling in cell three and lastly chlorine disinfection, de-chlorination and discharge to the Columbia River. The facility is located on a cul-de-sac away from homes and businesses.

The Lagoons are currently in need of significant upgrades including de-sludging; replacement of aerators, blowers and disinfection equipment and outfall extension or re-location.

The facility has a small area that accepts trucked septage from the Blueberry Area, which provides coarse screening and discharges to the lagoons; currently, this septage facility would not meet the volume demands of a regional facility.

The City of Castlegar applied for an Infrastructure Planning Grant through the Province in December of 2019, to determine the feasibility of constructing a formal septage receiving and pre-treatment facility at the Lagoons. The RDCK Board issued a letter of support for this application.

The KWL Report details upgrades required for the Lagoons from a previous report (commissioned by the City of Castlegar) by Urban Systems. To accommodate the septage receiving facility, the KWL Report recommends upgrade components for septage receiving and general upgrades to the overall facility to accommodate increased loadings. The facility would be able to operate on a year-round basis; however, septage hauling is generally seasonal, with only 8% of demand occurring in the winter.

Sludge management would either involve de-watering for landfilling, application as landfill cover, or composting for beneficial reuse, carried out every 10 or 20 years. The capacity of the Ootischenia Landfill to accept de-watered sludge would require further investigation.

Due to the proximity of this location, away from homes and businesses, increased truck traffic is not likely going to create issues; odours could be managed through a closed receiving facility.

174


Staff recommends further exploring Option A as the preferred option, investigating possibilities of grant applications, and engaging the City of Castlegar into further discussion of potential partnerships.

Option B: Upgraded Septage Drying Beds at Central Landfill

Septage received at all RDCK facilities is currently discharged to septage pits or drying beds, then combined with wood chips and dried until workable. Option B: upgraded septage drying beds at Central Landfill (Drying Beds), proposes the construction of a septage receiving facility and six separate drying beds in the current drying bed location. The final cured and mixed product could be applied in thin layers to the HB Mine site or another location for beneficial reuse, yet to be determined.

The Drying Beds Option is comprised of impermeable asphalt and geomembrane lined drying beds. The system would incorporate drains between liners, draining to an inspection manhole to detect leaks and indicate location of breaks.

The design for the Drying Beds Option was over-sized to account for “worst case” scenarios i.e., as the pits will not allow for groundwater discharge, they must be large enough to account for precipitation and evapotranspiration during peak volume disposal periods to avoid premature filling before the materials are fully cured and ready for mixing and stockpiling. Staff would recommend investigating the feasibility of constructing seasonal covers for the Drying Beds if this option is pursued further.

The septage receiving facility for the Drying Beds would be similar to the Lagoons, but without the need for enclosure and some simpler design aspects made possible by the distance from populated areas. The design would incorporate pumps to improve access and easy disposal to haulers, and would require power and wash water utilities which, if located adjacent to a regional composting facility, could potentially share infrastructure and operating costs for water and power utilities.

If the Drying Beds option is pursued, more in-depth investigation into regulatory requirements will be required.

Although the Drying Beds Option is designed as a centralized service, de-centralizing the service at the Ootischenia and Centralsites could occur, however increased costs from duplication of some infrastructure (e.g., septage receiving units) and operational costs would reduce cost efficiencies. Further assessment would be necessary to determine whether landfill development plans at Ootischenia would accommodate new drying beds.

Environmental impacts would include methane gas released from anaerobic decomposition emitted during the curing process and some leachate production from the curing material

Option C: Septage Composting Facility (Central)

Building a septage composting facility at the Central Landfill (Composting Option), would also require the building of a septage receiving facility similar to that described in the Lagoons option. Dewatered septage, mixed with wood chips would be piled for 60 days of aerating, adjacent to the proposed regional organics composting facility. Residuals from dewatering and leachate from the compost piles would be collected and treated in two aerated ponds, with recirculation into the septage compost piles as needed; excess treated liquid residuals would be disposed of through ground infiltration.

Beneficial end-use of the Compost Option, such as a land applied soil amendment, is dependent on the quality of both the feedstock (i.e., wood chips) and incoming septage (typically metals concentrations).

The KWL Report explored the use dewatering trucks as a strategy for reducing disposal events (resulting in a net reduction of transport cost and GHG emissions). If Staff is directed to pursue further assessment of the Compost Option, incentives for dewatered septage should be considered.

The Composting Option would be regulated by the Organic Matter Recycling Regulation (OMRR), however the KWL Report recommends further study to ensure that sufficient temperatures and times can be reached to achieve a Class A biosolid. A Class A biosolid has many options for end-product use.

It is worth noting that while a septage composting facility could operate adjacent to the proposed regional organics composting facility and benefit from shared operational requirements such as power, personnel etc.: the two operations would be run as separate facilities and the materials would not be co-mingled.

Further Considerations for the Central Site

The closed Central Landfill site, which currently operates as a transfer station, and offers septage disposal services, is the proposed site for both the Drying Beds and Compost options. At present, the Central transfer station operates with reduced hours, open to the public on Wednesdays and Saturdays only. These hours may change with the advent of a regional organics composting facility to service the West and Central sub-regions, and could also be adjusted to accommodate a centralized septage facility.

The proposed footprint for a regional organics composting facility at Central leaves sufficient room for an adjacent septage composting facility.

If the HB Mine Tailings site is not available as the final disposal site of Drying Beds or Compost option end-products, then transport costs and associated GHG emissions will need to be considered. Also, unknown at this time, is the availability of clean wood chips for final processing, which may be required for regional organics composting operations and/or proposed clean energy projects.

Staff recommends pursing further analysis of Option A, Castlegar Lagoons. The current practices are not sustainable and action will be required to address this situation quickly. The remaining budget allotted to this project should direct planning to be included with the outcomes of the Resource Recovery Plan. Further assessment and design could occur in 2020 and construction in 2021. It should be noted that all options carry a high level of uncertainty around the options and cost for the disposal of the solids at the end of the process.

SECTION 3: DETAILED ANALYSIS

a. Financial Considerations – Cost and Resource Allocations:

Included in Financial Plan: ☐ YES ☒ NO Financial Plan Amendment: ☐ YES ☒ NO

Debt Bylaw Required: ☐ YES ☒ NO Public/Gov’t Approvals req’d: ☐ YES ☒ NO

Due to uncertainty of direction, the options presented are not included in the draft 2020 Financial Plan and will need a Financial Plan amendment or adjustment in the 2021 budget depending on when works commence. Further analysis will be required to understand any financial implications with changing the current service. At the next phase of assessing a Regional Septage Strategy, it is recommended that Staff be directed to explore available grant options to assist with this transition.

Some funds are available for the remaining assessment of the preferred options.

Option A: Castlegar Lagoons

Capital costs are estimated at $2.5M, which includes 100% of septage receiving facility upgrades and 9% (based on estimated loading contribution from septage) of Lagoon upgrades; this does not cover any costs for overdue maintenance such as de-sludging Lagoons.

Operation and Maintenance (O&M) costs area estimated at $172k/year based on 9% of personnel and power requirements, a portion of disinfection and de-sludging costs, and full costs for receiving station maintenance, power and repair.

As lagoon upgrades and operational costs could be shared between the City of Castlegar and the RDCK, the annualized cost of this option (capital plus O&M) is estimated at $312k/year for the RDCK. It is important to note that these estimates were not done in collaboration with City of Castlegar Staff, and direction to proceed with further exploration of this option would involve discussion and negotiation between the City of Castlegar and RDCK staff. Funds for pursuing this option could come from West Service Budget S190, possibly with contributions from Service S187 and Service S188. The estimated break-even tipping fee for this service is estimated at $52/tonne, dropping to $40/tonne for 2045 hauling volumes; the current rate for septage disposal at all RDCK facilities is $41/tonne. Alternatively, the City of Castlegar could take over the service with tipping fees set at full cost recovery.

Option B: Septage Drying Beds

Capital costs for the Drying Beds option were estimated at $3.4M. O&M costs were estimated to be $454K/year including costs for personnel, power, repair and maintenance, hauling and disposal of screenings, wood chip production/hauling, leak monitoring and repair and application of product to the HB site. The overall annual cost, over a 25 year lifecycle is $644k/year; the break-even tipping fees to support this were estimated at $107/tonne, dropping to $83/tonne for 2045 hauling volumes. These service costs could be incorporated into Central Service Budget S187, with full cost recovery tipping fees or shared with S190.

177


Option C: Septage Composting Facility

The capital costs for the Composting Option are estimated at $4.1M, however some economies of scale would be gleaned through co-development with the domestic composting facility. Capital costs may be reduced through efficiencies of operating adjacent to the regional organics composting facility.

O&M costs were estimated to be $233k/year, which would include personnel, power, maintenance, hauling, wood chip processing, aeration, leak monitoring, and spreading of compost at the HB site. The overall estimated annual cost from the life cycle is assessment is $469k/year which works out to a break-even tipping fee of $77/tonne, dropping to $60/tonne for 2045 hauling volumes. These service costs would be incorporated into Central Service Budget S187.

COSTING COMPARISON SUMMARY

Option Capital Costs O&M Break-Even Tipping Fees

Castlegar Lagoons $2.5M $172k/Year $52/tonne

Central Drying Beds $3.4M $454k/year $107/tonne

Central Septage Composting Facility $4.1M $233k/year $77/tonne

Staff recommend immediately increasing septage rates in S190 and S187 to adjust the market to actual and future costs of the program and to begin generating reserves to pay for future infrastructure. Further, Staff recommend septage rates to go up in Service S186.

b. Legislative Considerations (Applicable Policies and/or Bylaws):

A new Bylaw will be required if a new service is established.

c. Environmental Considerations:

Potential environmental concerns, such as methane generation, could be mitigated if septage is managed as part of a wastewater treatment facility or a proper receiving facility.

d. Social Considerations:

None at this time.

e. Economic Considerations:

None at this time.

f. Communication Considerations:

Further communication with septage haulers is required in order to confirm all disposal locations and types of materials accepted.

g. Staffing/Departmental Workplan Considerations:

Staff time for the septage strategy has been included in the 2020 Resource Recovery work plan as a component of the Resource Recovery Plan update.

178


h. Board Strategic Plan/Priorities Considerations:

This initiative aligns with the RDCK Board’s priorities of Coordinated Service Delivery and Waste Management and Alternatives.

SECTION 4: OPTIONS & PROS / CONS

Option 1: Continue an assessment of Option A outlined in the report prepared by KWL: Castlegar Lagoons, as the preferred option for a centralized septage receiving facility and begin discussions with City of Castlegar Staff to determine the framework for future ownership and operation.

PROS:

Technically simplest option.

Highest level of treatment.

Lowest assessed capital and O&M costs.

Castlegar assumes operations.

Facility already in operation as a wastewater treatment facility.

Septage management at a wastewater treatment facility provides highest level of treatment and environmental benefits.

Location is very close to the Ootischenia Landfill, where 74% of Central and West septage at RDCK facilities was received in 2019.

CONS:

Increased traffic to North Lagoons Treatment Facility – some impacts on trail users.

Potentially longer hauling distances for some haulers.

Increased tipping fees.

Management of Lagoon sludge requires more consideration.

Option 2A: Continue an assessment of Option B outlined in the report prepared by KWL: Central Drying Beds, as the preferred option for a centralized service.

PROS:

Process very similar to current RDCK operations of drying beds.

Revenues from the service will stay with the RDCK.

Technically simple.

No developments close enough to be affected by odours or traffic.

CONS:

Highest annual O&M costs.

RDCK continues to manage septage facilities.

Lowest level of treatment.

Beneficial end-use options may be difficult to sustain.

Highest potential for GHG generation from anaerobic decomposition and some leachate generation

Higher cumulative driving distances if operated as a centralized facility.

Significant land use requirements.

179


Option 2B: Assess Drying Beds as a de-centralized service.

PROS:

Lowest cumulative driving distances

Costs and revenues stay with the existing services

CONS:

Higher costs than a centralized service

Option 3: Continue an assessment of Option C outlined in the report by KWL: Septage Composting Facility, as the preferred option for a centralized service.

PROS:

Some economies of scale to be gained from operating adjacent to a future regional organics composting facility, provided the facilities are centralized.

More options for beneficial re-use of a Class A Biosolid (dependent on available feedstock).

High level of treatment.

No developments close enough to be affected by odours or traffic.

CONS:

Higher annual O&M costs than the City of Castlegar Lagoon option; highest capital costs.

RDCK continues to manage septage facilities.

Beneficial end-use options may be difficult to sustain.

Higher cumulative driving distances if operated as a centralized facility.

Septage pathogens may be of concern to composting operators, and chemical stabilization may be required which could impact composting process.

Significant land use requirements.

Option 4: Pursue further investigation of all options presented in the KWL Report.

PROS:

Further investigation may identify new opportunities beyond what has been identified.

CONS:

Delay in advancing the strategy – current facilities are in need of upgrades.

May miss window of opportunity to partner with City of Castlegar.

Process, which is a component of the Resource Recovery Plan is delayed.

Option 5: Increase tipping fees.

PROS:

A reserve fund will help pay for future upgrade expenses and decrease borrowing costs.

Incrementally increasing fees may be easier for the hauling industry to adapt to than a significant overnight increase.

Assuming most septic system owners only get their tanks serviced every 5-10 years, a potential $50-$100 service price increase, would likely not create an ongoing financial burden.

180


CONS:

Higher tipping fees will increase operating costs to the Hauling sector and ultimately result in higher service fees for their customers.

Option 6: Do not increase tipping fees until new services are in place.

PROS:

Hauling industry may wish to defer increases to their operating costs and higher service fees to their customers.

CONS:

No available or insufficient reserve fund to help pay for future upgrade expenses and decrease borrowing costs.

Significant overnight increase timed with new services may be more difficult for the hauling industry to adapt to than incremental increases.

SECTION 5: RECOMMENDATION(S)

That Staff be directed to continue an assessment of the City of Castlegar Lagoons as the preferred option for a centralized septage receiving facility;

AND FURTHER that the Board direct staff to begin discussions with the City of Castlegar to determine the feasibility of a workable partnership;

AND FURTHER that the Board direct Staff to amend the Regional District of Central Kootenay Septage Disposal Facilities Regulatory Bylaw No. 1751, 2005 to increase septage fees in Service S190, Service S187 and Service S186 to $50/tonne.

Board Report

Date of Report: June 25, 2020 Date & Type of Meeting: July 16, 2020 Open Regular Board Meeting Author: Mark Crowe, Regional Parks Planner Subject: COMMUNITY SERVICES AMENITY DONATION PROGRAM File: 7015-AMENITY DONATION PROGRAM


The purpose of this report is to have the Board adopt the Community Services Amenity Donation Program which will allow staff to provide a sustainable donation program policy for bench and picnic tables at District owned and operated parks, trails and community recreation facilities.


Background There is increasing interest from District residents, as well as individuals from out of District who would like to donate an amenity such as a bench or picnic table. The advancement of this policy comes following a review of the District’s informal approach and also considers the existing Memorial Park Bench Program under Policy Number 500-01-02 which only applies to Areas “E” and “F” (Attachment A). The proposed Community Services Amenity Donation Program Policy (Attachment B) is intended to ensure that the donation is actually covering the costs and clarifies the responsibilities of the District in the context of the asset life cycle. Analysis The policy for the program identifies clear terms and conditions. The policy considers the specific type of amenity, pricing and emphasis on selling amenities that are installed or will be installed. This policy is similar to the structure that other local governments base their amenity programs on. Key components of the policy include:

The cost includes amenity purchase, installation, maintenance for a period of 10 years, and a commemorative plaque.

Bench and picnic table types and materials are standardized.

All those who buy an amenity will receive a taxable donation receipt at the end of that year.

184

Community Services Amenity Donation Program July 16, 2020 Open Regional Board Meeting Page 2

Figure 1: Bench recently installed at Taghum Beach Regional Park.

Process The program will be accessed by the public through an online application form which includes program guidelines and information (to be adapted from policy). The process will be as follows:

1. Program information will be primarily accessed via the RDCK website.

2. The application can be filled out online and emailed, mailed or hand delivered.

3. Parks staff will review the application and contact the applicant to discuss the requested site.

4. If the application is accepted the applicant will receive an invoice with payment information.

5. Upon payment parks staff will order the amenity

6. Staff obtain a plaque proof for applicant approval.

7. Staff will notify the applicant when the amenity has been installed.

8. A tax receipt will be issued at the beginning of the following year.





As an example, to purchase a bench from the supplier with a pre‐routered board for plaque installation, stainless steel bolts and shipping is $1630.00. In addition, the price of a concrete pad, installation of bench and plaque, as well as the required maintenance over the benches ten‐year period is beyond the listed purchase price. The cost structure of $2,500.00 will cover all costs associated with the purchase of a bench and is line with amenity donation programs in other municipalities.


185


This new policy will be adopted and used to administer the program as it continues. The existing Memorial Park Bench Program under Policy Number 500-01-02, which only applies to Areas “E” and “F” will be rescinded.


Site specific environmental conditions will be considered prior to application approval.


Park amenities facilitate relaxation, social interaction and encourage experiencing your surroundings.


There are tourism and economic benefits associated with creating enhanced park experiences.


Staff recommend that a media release is developed in order to explain the program. The RDCK website will be update to include information on the program and the application form.


Staff will develop an online application form, process applications and issue tax receipts. Staff will identify strategic locations.


The program will be sustainable and economically viable for the District, which will allow it to continue into the future.


The Board can adopt the Regional Parks and Trails Amenity Donation Program policy to ensure a focused procedure while mitigating the expense moving forward. Pros

- The amenity must be a donation. - Recognizes the finite life of the asset. - Clarifies the responsibilities of the District. - The program is not challenging to administer.

Cons

- We may not always be able to fulfill the donors preference for location. - We may run out of suitable locations and need to develop a waiting list.


That the Board rescind Policy Number 500-01-02 Memorial Park Bench Program, and adopt Policy Number 500-02-09 Community Services Amenity Donation Program effective September 30,2020. That the Board direct staff to develop and implement the guidelines, process and communications materials that are required in order to implement the Community Services Amenity Donation Program on September 30, 2020.

Policy Manual


Scope of Maintenance The District will perform basic maintenance on each amenity as needed during the initial maintenance period. This will include, but is not limited to:

a) Cleaning of amenity; b) Removing graffiti or other markings; and c) Repairing vandalism or incidental damage.

In addition to basic maintenance, the donor(s) will also receive a brand new amenity (including plaque, if necessary) at no cost if it is damaged beyond repair. Such incidences include, but are not limited to: acts of nature, intentional demolition, or if the product becomes completely unfit for use.

Initial Maintenance Period The donation cost will include maintenance by the District for 10 years from the purchase date. Scope of maintenance is described above.

Renewal Period Once the initial 10 year maintenance period has concluded:

a) The donor(s) is responsible for contacting the District prior to the end of the term if they wish to continue their donation.

b) If the donor does not contact the District, or chooses not to renew or replace the amenity, the plaque will be removed and the amenity and/or site may become available to a new donor. The plaque will be retained by the District for 2 years from time of removal.

The donor(s) will have the option to renew their contribution for a further 5-year maintenance period. a) The donor(s) will pay all costs to refurbish the amenity, to the extent of which is deemed

necessary by the District. b) Additional terms cannot be prepaid.

Because each amenity may not need the exact same level of refurbishment, the District will perform an inspection of each bench approximately three (3) months prior to the expiration of the current maintenance period, and an estimate of costs to refurbish will be delivered to the donor(s). Examples of common refurbishment will include, but are not limited to:

a) Painting the amenity with a fresh powder coat; b) Replacing bolts, nuts, and other hardware; and c) Replacing any boards that are damaged, etc.

191

Number: 500-02-09


Policy Manual


Upon receipt of payment for the refurbishments, a new 5-year maintenance period will commence. Scope of maintenance is described above.

Subsequent Renewal Period After the first 5-year renewal period of an amenity has expired, it will be approximately 15 years old. As such, it will likely be approaching the end of its useful life. A subsequent 5-year maintenance period will only be offered to the donor(s) under the following conditions:

a) The amenity is deemed to be in good enough shape to last for another 5 years, and b) The cost of refurbishment is not prohibitive in that it would be equal to or more than the cost

of replacing the amenity entirely.

Scope of maintenance is the same as described above.

End of Useful Life Once the amenity is deemed by the District to be at the end of its useful life, which will occur after a period of either 15 or 20 years from initial installation the current donor(s) will be given the opportunity to purchase a new amenity at current program costs. Purchasing a new amenity will effectively reinitiate the program; the donor(s) will receive a new 10-year maintenance period upon receipt of payment. In addition, dependent upon condition, a new plaque could be added to the bench at this time if desired. Once again, the option for the first 5-year renewal period will be guaranteed to the donor, with the District reserving the right to offer a second renewal period based on aforementioned guidelines.

Failure to Renew

If the donor(s) cannot be reached upon end of a maintenance period, or chooses not to undertake the required restoration or replacement at quoted costs, the District will remove and return the plaque to the donor(s). The District will attempt to contact the donor(s) using the contact information provided at purchase. It is the responsibility of the donor(s) to keep the District updated of any changes in address or contact information. If these circumstances arise, the District will work to find a new donor for the amenity. Costs will vary based on what point of the life cycle that the specific amenity is at when a failure of renewal occurs.

Other Guidelines

1. The District will have final approval of the design style/type/color of amenity. 2. Plaque sizes and materials are standardized and are as follows: 3” x 7” bronze with a raised

edging. Oversized plaques are not permitted. 3. The District reserves the right for final approval of plaque wording.

192

Number: 500-02-09


Policy Manual


4. A tax receipt, under the Income Tax Act Section 118.1(1), will be issued for the entire donation amount.

5. If multiple persons are contributing to a single donation, then all donations funds must be collected by one donor. Tax receipts will be made out to the “donor”, unless a letter is provided at time of payment indicating names, addresses and amounts for other donors.

Board Report

Date of Report: June 25, 2020 Date & Type of Meeting: July 16, 2020 Open Regular Board Meeting Author: Sangita Sudan, GM Development & Community Sustainability Subject: FIRST NATIONS RELATIONS & PARTNERSHIP File: 01-0389-10


The purpose of this report is to provide the Board with some information to guide decisions on the RDCK’s collective approach as a regional district to reconciliation with First Nations in the Central Kootenay, focusing on the Yaqan Nukiy or Lower Kootenay Band of the Ktunaxa Nation Council with the intent of strengthening that relationship and then seeking to continue to do the same with the Silyx/Okanagan Nation Alliance and Secwepemc/Shuswap Nation Tribal Council.


Background Local governments and First Nations are increasingly working together to discuss common interests, challenges and mutual opportunities for their communities. To establish processes by which this can occur some regional districts have protocol agreements or service agreements and memorandum of understandings with their local First Nations. To assist with this process Local governments are able to access funding through the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) to host community to community forums. Meaningful engagement is the first step towards building a relationship and then through MOUs, protocol agreements comes partnerships and reconciliation.

For several years the Creston Landfill was the nexus of our relationship with Lower Kootenay Band (LKB). Then in 2010 the Kootenay Lakes Partnership formed where collaboration was the primary focus that the relationship between elected officials and staff grew. Currently staff are seeking to engage LKB on two large regional initiatives: Regional Parks, Trails and Access to Water Strategy and Watershed Governance Initiative.

Over the years some challenges have posed a risk to our long standing relationship with the LKB which has primarily been transactional and focused on the Creston Landfill. In this report staff are seeking to provide some information to lay the foundation that may result in strengthening the relationship with the Yaqan Nukiy as a first step. Why this is important is because they have lived in this area for 11,500 years.

In the meanwhile with day to day operations, staff have been engaging with all First Nations claiming traditional lands in this area including: Ktunaxa Nation, Sylix/Okanagan Nation Alliance, Secwepemc/Shuswap Nation Tribal Council, and in consultation with Ministry of Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation (MIRR) staff are evolving processes to engage with Colville Confederated Tribes

representing the Sinixt people on projects such as heritage registry of Kipitel a traditional site located in the Brilliant Flat of Area I.

What was their traditional lands has been undermined over the many years post contact by segregation of Indigenous people on reserves and by Federal and Provincial governments imposing their own boundaries over Indigenous lands under an old colonial system. There is a need for Government to unravel this through out Canada and BC. This system is now being challenged by Indigenous people and as treaties and land claims are settled in time what was once understood as a boundary will also shift. Reconciliation includes recognizing this fact and the harm it imposed and lay the foundation for a new relationship based on respect and understanding that will in time result in significant reform in the areas of law, legislation and justice.

What is our mandate with First Nations? Local governments are responsible for undertaking meaningful consultation with First Nations who have expressed traditional territory in the regional district. Several Supreme Court of Canada Case Law have defined how Government has adjusted to working with the indigenous people of Canada and British Columbia (BC).

In Calder 1973 Aboriginal title was recognized; Guerin 1984 established Crown’s fiduciary duty to protect Aboriginal title; In Sparrow 1990 Aboriginal right to fish was recognized and states under section 35 of the Constitution Act “the existing aboriginal and treaty rights of the aboriginal peoples of Canada are hereby recognized and affirmed”; In the Delgamuukw 1997 decision it was confirmed that Aboriginal title exists; In Haida 2004 the duty to consult and accommodate was established; In Tsilhqot’in 2014 the Tsilhqot’in took the test to prove title and applied it. This last decision was significant and resulted in Canada awarding the land involved to the Tsilhqot’in Nation. This means Aboriginal rights exist in law and are distinct and different from the rights of other Canadians. They include aboriginal title which is unique communally held property right. Aboriginal rights take priority over the rights of others subject only to the needs of conservation. The scope of aboriginal title and rights depends on specific facts relating to the aboriginal group and its historical relationship to the land in question. The legal and constitutional status of aboriginal people derives not from their race but from the fact that they are the descendants of the peoples and governing societies that are resident in North America long before European settlement. Aboriginal rights and title cannot be extinguished by simple legislation because they are protected by the Constitution Act, 1982. Government has a duty to consult and possibly accommodate aboriginal interests even where title has not been proven and Government has the ongoing duty to consult and perhaps accommodate where treaty rights might be adversely affected. 1

Canada in 2007 ratified the United Nations Declaration of Reconciliation with Indigenous People (UNDRIP) reconciliation. In 2019 the province of British Columbia adopted UNDRIP into legislation and was the first of the provinces to do so in order to align its laws accordingly. This marks the first step towards meaningful implementation of UNDRIP.

What does this mean? The adoption of UNDRIP gives local governments the mandate to work towards establishing a better relationship with First Nations focusing on the LKB who has several Indian reserves (IR) located in the regional district. The new approach the province has taken to relationship building and reconciliation recognizes indigenous Peoples’ law and jurisdiction in respect to ancestral lands and

https://www.ictinc.ca/blog/aboriginal-rights-title-and-the-duty-to-consult-a-primer


creates the opportunity for the establishment of a framework of shared decision making between the Province and Indigenous governments.

The case law and UNDRIP highlights the significance First Nations interest on influencing any future access to Crown land resources for parks, trails and water access as well as alignment with initiatives related to Crown land resources in watersheds.

Brief History of Yaqan Nukiy The Yaqan Nukiy or the Lower Kootenay Band (LKB) have lived in the Central Kootenay region since time immemorial. Archaeologists have determined the Yaqan Nukiy, unlike the other Ktunaxa Indian Bands, have occupied the Creston valley area and the Kootenay Lake area for 11, 500 years before present (BP). Their traditions and culture is intertwined with the land, lakes and rivers of this region and has been communicated down through generations via their oral history and through the historical accounts in the late 1800 by Christian missionaries who arrived along with the gold rush. The Ktunaxa along with Sinixt used Sturgeon Nose canoes to travel the waterways. There is recorded incidents post contact where the LKB had conflict with the farmers of the Creston Valley. Their economy was primarily based on hunting and gathering which they also did for local farmers and settlers. They also served as hunters and guides for the Bluebell silver-lead mine in Riondel. With the arrival of European settlers the Yaqan Nukiy started to engage in agriculture activity but their approach differed from settlers. This led to conflicts such as dispute over who had the right to cut hay on the Creston flats. By then the Ktunaxa lands and population had been vastly reduced and by 1912 they were segregated to Indian Reserves. Over time they have gradually adopted western industries such as agriculture, forestry, mining, health care, education and tourism. The Province of BC has been engaged in treaty with the Ktunaxa Nation for several years and in 2019 the Province and the Ktunaxa Nation Council established a Strategic Engagement Agreement (SEA) to commence stage 5 treaty negotiations, explore options for the recognition of the Ktunaxa Nation as a legal entity before a treaty is implemented, and explore a new approach to treaty based on core treaty and rights recognition.2 Their interests include acting as stewards of land and resources and being involved at all levels of decision making to carry out effective land and resource management in accordance with Ktunaxa laws, cultural values and priorities. They also wish to identify, protect and manage past, present and future cultural resources, areas and landscapes that contain values significant to the KNC. One example where Ktunaxa interests are being met as stewards of the land and resource is through the Kootenay Lakes Partnership. In 2010 the regional district and department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) formed the Partnership. RDCK signed a terms of reference with the Ktunaxa Nation and LKB to address development pressures on the lake. The results of that KLP continue to highlight how effective government to government relationship can be. Other partners to the KLP include the City of Nelson and Village of Kaslo. No longer was the relationship with LKB limited to the Creston valley. The purchase of the Ainsworth Hotsprings in Area D was also a pivot for the RDCK where the LKB participated in the Official Community Plan review for the Townsite.

Future Opportunities Two new initiatives approved by the Board and that align with the Strategic Plan are the Regional Parks, Trails and Access to Water Strategy and Watershed Governance initiative. For the Regional Parks, Trails and Access to Water Strategy the RDCK will seek to leverage existing relationships with Lower Kootenay Band to improve our understanding of working with First Nations on:

Planning and management of regional district parks

Protection and conservation of cultural heritage sites

Consideration of park interpretations in regional district parks

Consideration of cultural management plan in parks

The Watershed Governance Initiative also seeks to leverage existing relationships with the Lower Kootenay Band and other First Nations to advance our ability to influence provincial government and industry. In the Cowichan Valley Regional District (CVRD), a Watershed Board was stronger because of their relationship. Two principles of the CVRD water board highlight how they will work with the Cowichan Tribes.

Partnerships built on collaboration among Cowichan Tribes and the regional district.

We come together as a whole to work together to be stronger as partners for the watershed. This is an ancient Cowichan Tribes principle orienting the application to the two co-chairs of Cowichan Water Board.

Conclusion As a local government we need to gain an understanding of how we work with First Nations and align with UDRIP to build a relationship that supports all indigenous values and interests to act as stewards of the land and resources as Partners. Currently staff is unclear on the approach the elected officials agree on. As a first step staff are recommending that a letter be sent to the Yaqan Nukiy Chief and Council asking for a meeting to discuss common interests, opportunities and ask how they would like to participate in a Regional Parks, Trails and access to water Strategy and Watershed Governance Initiative. Funding to support participation can be accessed via Community to Community grant through UBCM.

By partnering with First Nations on initiatives such as a Regional Parks, Trails and access to water Strategy and Watershed Governance Initiative, factors impacting our environment will have more meaning because of the indigenous connection to the land.

203



UNDRIP sets the mandate to have work with our Indigenous Communities for a better relationship and reconciliation.


First Nations are seeking opportunities to partner on initiatives that would provide mutual economic benefits.


If Board approves the recommendation to send a letter then RDCK can host a community to community forum with Lower Kootenay Band and direct staff to apply for the UBCM grant and schedule a meeting with Chief and Council.


Although this is not in staff workplan the projects noted in this report are on the workplan and would benefit from a more collaborative relationship with Lower Kootenay Band.


5.3 To Strengthen our Relationships with our Community Partners a) Seek Opportunities for partnerships with local communities

Moving towards reconciliation with First Nations through respectful interactions and exploring partnerships.


Option 1: That staff be directed to prepare a letter for the Board Chair requesting a meeting with Lower Kootenay Band Chief and Council at Yaqan Nukiy to establish a relationship and discuss common interest, opportunities and ask how they would like to participate on initiatives like the Regional Parks, Trails and Access to Water Strategy and Watershed Governance Initiative. RDCK participants at the meeting could include the elected officials on the Executive Committee, Town of Creston and Areas A, B and C accompanied by senior staff.

Pros:

Strategic priority 5.3 moving towards reconciliation with First Nations through respectful interactions and exploring partnerships will be enacted.

An informal meeting is recommended as a first step to engage in government to government relationship building.

The approach would establish a method by which the Board could evolve relationships with other First Nations who claim traditional lands in the Central Kootenays.

Con:

The Lower Kootenay Band could refuse to meet.

Option 2: That staff be directed to continue to work with Lower Kootenay Band staff on identifying areas of interest as related to the Regional Parks, Trails and Access to Water Strategy and the Watershed

204


Governance initiative. This has been the approach to date and has left the RDCK elected officials and Chief and Council, out of the process.

Pros:

Staff have a positive working relationship with Lower Kootenay Band staff that can be leveraged to establish memorandum of understanding or agreements for these projects

Cons:

The Board will not achieve its strategic priority to move towards reconciliation with First Nations through respectful interactions and exploring partnerships.

The opportunity to work with our local First Nations on the two initiatives may impact relationships with Sylix/Okanagan Nation Alliance and Secwepemc/Shuswap Nation Tribal Council.

The assumption that LKB staff do not speak for Chief and Council will linger

Option 3: That staff be directed to not engage with any First Nations in the regional district and prepare to move forward with the Regional Parks, Trails and Access to Water Strategy and Watershed Governance initiative.

Pros:

None identified

Con:

The two initiative may not be looked upon favorably by Province of BC as they relate to access to water or influencing Crown land decisions, due to the RDCK’s lack of relationship and recognition of First Nations rights and title over Crown land including water and the foreshore of lakes and rivers in the region.

Current land use initiatives where Lower Kootenay Band and other First Nations participation is needed may be negatively affected.


That the Chair send a letter on behalf of Board to Yaqan Nukiy Chief and Council requesting a meeting to discuss the opportunities for partnerships and vision for the area.

Board Report

Date of Report: June 26, 2020 Date & Type of Meeting: July 16, 2020 Open Regular Board Meeting Author: Sangita Sudan, GM Development & Community Sustainability

Services Subject: COMMUNICATIONS – NDMP FLOOD & STEEP CREEK STUDY File: 10-4950-30-NDMP-STREAM2


The purpose of this report is to update the Board on the completion of the Regional Flood and Steep Creek Study which commenced in 2017 and completed in April 2020 and to recommend 3 next steps:

1. Receipt of the 16 Floodplain and Steep Creek reports and mapping data prepared by BGC Engineering

2. Post reports to RDCK website and incorporate data into GIS for distribution via the public webmap

3. Fund a webinar/workshop with BGC Engineering Inc., for the board and staff


In 2017 the RDCK commenced a regional study to update floodplain and hazard land management information and mapping to guide land use development, regional growth, design of resilient communities and emergency management in the RDCK through policy, guidelines and regulation in the 11 rural electoral areas and 9 member municipalities. The regional study is a substantial investment by the RDCK, the Province of BC and the Government of Canada to advance geohazard risk and emergency management. The results of the work involved in the study advances provincial and federal priorities for emergency management and has the ability to influence funding for the region where risk reduction requires substantial capital investment.

The study was led by BGC Engineering Inc., and includes a regional risk prioritization of clear-water flood and steep creek hazard areas (NDMP stream 1) completed in 2018, followed by detailed assessments and mapping of sixteen high priority study areas (NDMP stream 2) completed in 2020. The studies were further informed by the acquisition of Lidar completed for the region in 2019. The following areas have been identified as high priority floodplain and steep creek geohazard areas:

Through the provision of detailed hazard maps and information, the Stream 2 study supports community planning, bylaw enforcement, emergency response, risk control and asset management. BGC provides site-specific considerations for hazard management in the individual assessment reports and strategic recommendations.

This assessment also provides impetus and inputs to future work such as:

Hazard and risk tolerance policy development

Quantitative geohazard risk assessments, if, and as required, to support the possible implementation of risk tolerance policy.

Geohazards reduction (structural and non-structural mitigation) plans.

Work by other parties (i.e. provincial ministries, utility operators, or private consultants) that requires outputs of this assessment.

Step 1: Board Receipt of New Information

In order to provide detail assessments for areas listed in the table above BGC conducted field studies in the summer of 2019. Staff informed residents of the work via media releases and letters to property owners advising of the presence of geotechnical field crews in their area. Since the completion of the study staff have received several inquiries from the public on this new information. Staff is recommending the Board receive the reports.

Step 2: Inform the Public

Staff is recommending the reports and the new data once received by the Board, be shared with the public via RDCK website as is required under Freedom of Information, Protection and Privacy Act (FIPPA) under Division 4 section 25 “Information must be disclosed if in the public interest”.

Upon approval staff will post the report on the RDCK website and incorporate the mapping into the RDCK webmap for end users such as industry, qualified professional, land use planner, realtor, surveyors, provincial agencies and the general public.

207


Step 3: Fund Workshop/Webinar A workshop with BGC is essential for the end users of the study to gain an understanding of the information provided to better address public communication on hazard area and potential risk reduction approaches. Staff are recommending the Board fund the workshop which will be delivered via a webinar due to COVID-19 restrictions. A webinar format will be recorded and will enable the information to be shared with Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, Ministry of Forest, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development (FRNORD), Emergency Management BC (EMBC), municipal staff and elected officials. While technical staff may participate, the workshop is targeted at decision makers. The total cost for the webinar is $16,407.00 and was not budgeted for in 2020. There are significant savings in General Administration due to lack of travel in 2020 and staff is recommending that the workshop be funded through General Administration and scheduled for the October 2020 board meeting. A proposal for the workshop/webinar is included in Attachment A. The objective of the workshop is to build understanding amongst participants about the following broad themes:

Purpose and objectives of BGC’s clear-water flood and steep creek hazard assessments in the context of the RDCK’s longer-term goals related to geohazard risk management

How to access and interpret deliverables (maps and information) for decision making.

Challenges and future opportunities to implement the study results in RDCK processes (policy, planning, regulation and emergency management).

Step 4: Policy Development Further work to be completed by Board and staff includes preparation of a risk tolerance policy1 to guide revisions to RDCK floodplain management bylaw, zoning regulations where applicable, official community plans to include hazard land management guidelines through Development Permit Areas, and to inform emergency response plans and asset management decisions. Staff made application to the Union of British Columbia (UBCM) Community Emergency Preparedness Funding (CEPF) for the January 2020 intake as per resolution 919/19 but were advised in June that due to oversubscription the funding was denied. Staff will reapply when the new funding is announced.

If board approves hosting a webinar in October, staff will ensure all reports and mapping is posted to the website and RDCK webmap to meet our obligations under FIPPA section 25.


The work related to this project is already in the workplan for planning, GIS, Emergency Management and Asset Management Staff.


This work aligns with several of the Board’s strategic objectives:

To excel in governance and service delivery

To manage our assets and operations in a fiscally responsible matter

To adapt to our changing climate and mitigate green house gas emissions


That the Board fund the webinar from General Administration S100, receive all 16 clear water and steep creek reports and data, and further direct staff to post the reports to the RDCK website and share the new hazard mapping via the RDCK Webmap. The option to not have a webinar is not recommended as it is an essential next step in our collective understanding of the information provided and how we communicate to the public. Option 1: Utilize funding in General Administration to pay for the Webinar/Workshop with BGC Engineering. Due to office closure and online meetings there may be significant savings in the General Administration budget to fund this essential workshop/webinar. Staff will also post the reports and maps to the website once received by the Board. Pros:

The webinar will inform decision maker and align with board priority of good governance and sustainable services as it relates to future policy development.

Staff from the 20 jurisdictions in the RDCK will be better positioned to make recommendations on land use decisions, policy development.

Staff and elected officials will be better informed to communicate hazard information to residents in effected areas.

209


The webinar would be recorded and available for all interested parties as a reference.

Posting the reports and data will meet requirements under FIPPA. Con: The Board may not want to fund through general administration. Option 2: Each electoral area and municipality contributes $820.35 x 20 = $16,407 from available funds in municipal budget or through discretionary or community development funds available to electoral areas. In addition staff will post the reports and maps to the website once received by the Board. Pros:

The webinar will inform decision maker and align with board priority of good governance and sustainable services as it relates to future policy development.

Staff from the 20 jurisdictions in the RDCK will be better positioned to make recommendations on land use decisions, policy development.

Staff and elected officials will be better informed to communicate hazard information to residents in effected areas.

The webinar would be recorded and available for all interested parties as a reference.

Posting the reports and data will meet requirements under FIPPA. Con:

The 20 participants may not want to contribute funds and direct staff to seek other sources of funding.

Option 3: Staff continue to seek other sources of funding from external grantors. Pro:

Board or member municipalities do not have to pay for the webinar. Cons:

The webinar will be delayed and further impact our ability to meet legislative requirements under FIPPA Division 4 section 24.

Staff and elected officials ability to communicate the information from the study to the Public will be limited due to internal lack of understanding.

External funders REF and UBCM have already denied funding applications and may do so again.


That the 2020-2024 Financial Plan for S100 General Administration be amended to increase Contracted Services and decrease Director Travel by $16,407.00 to fund the BGC Webinar on the results of National Disaster Mitigation Program Stream 1 Regional Flood and Hazard Risk Assessment and Stream 2 Flood and Steep Creek Study, AND FURTHER, that the reports be posted to the RDCK website and the new mapping data be incorporated into the RDCK webmap.

Regional District of Central Kootenay

Box 590, 202 Lakeside Drive

Nelson, BC V1L 5R4

Dear Ms. Sudan,

Re: Flood and Steep Creek Geohazards Workshop for Decision Makers

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1. Summary

The Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK, the District) retained BGC Engineering Inc.

(BGC) in 2017-2020 to complete clear-water flood and steep creek geohazards assessments

within the District. The work included a District-wide risk prioritization of clear-water flood and

steep creek hazard areas (Stream 1 study) followed by detailed assessments and mapping of

sixteen high priority areas (“Stream 2 study”).

With a combined budget of $3.65M plus the cost of lidar acquisition, these studies represent a

substantial investment by RDCK, the Province of BC, and the Government of Canada to advance

geohazard risk and emergency management in the District. Through the development of

approaches, methods and tools, the work also advances provincial and federal priorities for

emergency management.

As requested by RDCK in a March 20, 2020 email, this letter provides a work plan and cost

estimate to deliver a workshop to the potential end-users of study results. A workshop design

would be developed as part of the scope of work. Given travel restrictions related to COVID-19,

BGC has assumed that the workshop would be delivered as a webinar.

As described in this work plan, the proposed workshop will help maximize the degree to which

investments by RDCK, the Province of BC, and the Government of Canada in the current work

are incorporated into long-term decision making.

1.2. Participants and Objectives

BGC understands that workshop participants may include any staff identified by RDCK that may

consider the study results in their work, such as for planning, policy, regulation, geomatics (GIS),

or emergency management. Participants may also include staff from the Ministries of

Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI) or Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and

BGC ENGINEERING INC.

Rural Development (FLRNORD), and Emergency Management BC (EMBC). While technical staff

may participate, the workshop is targeted at decision makers and will not focus on details of

analytical methods.

The objective of the workshop is to build understanding amongst participants about the following

broad themes:

• Purpose and objectives of BGC’s clear-water flood and steep creek hazard assessments

in the context of RDCK’s longer-term goals related to geohazard risk management.

• How to access and interpret deliverables (maps and information) for decision making.

• Challenges and future opportunities to implement the study results in RDCK processes

(policy, planning, regulation, and emergency management).

1.3. Workshop Content

Table 1-1 provides a suggested draft agenda for discussion with RDCK. The morning session

provides information about the current work and the use of deliverables, and would be oriented

around presentations. The afternoon session would be organized as a facilitated discussion,

dedicated to “big questions” about the current work in relation to policy, planning, regulation and

emergency management.

BGC anticipates that a webinar format will present both challenges for interactivity and an

opportunity to engage with a broader group than could likely attend in person. To encourage

greater engagement, BGC proposes that participants register in the workshop via web form (not

simply a calendar invite). The web form would contain key questions (developed by BGC and

RDCK) to solicit input on the most important issues and questions to be addressed. For certain

key participants, BGC/RDCK may wish to “seed” questions in advance that we will pose during

the workshop.

The agenda shown in Table 1-1 contains more material than is likely feasible to cover in a

remotely-delivered workshop, particularly in the afternoon session. The agenda should be

considered a list of options for review and comment by RDCK.

BGC assumes that RDCK would be responsible for generating the invitation list and managing

logistics related to online participation via a web meeting application. For reference, BGC uses

Microsoft Teams internally and could host via this platform if desired.

BGC will provide RDCK with all presentations following the completion of the workshop.

Date of Report: June 24, 2020 Date & Type of Meeting: July 16, 2020 Open Regular Board Meeting Author: Paris Marshall Smith, Sustainability Planner Subject: STATE OF CLIMATE ACTION – UPDATE File: 5200-20-CAI-SOCA-ACTION


The purpose of this report is to provide information and an update of the RDCK State of Climate Action project and report.


In April 2019, the RDCK Board declared:

WHEREAS

1. Climate change is recognized to be an urgent reality requiring rapid decarbonisation of energy across all sectors;

2. Climate change is recognized to be an urgent reality where risks are compounded by increased climate change weather related events (more precipitation in the winter, dryer hotter summers) and increased levels of uncertainty. Preparing for increased resilience and adaptability is critical;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED That the Regional District of Central Kootenay Board recognizes that the world is in a global state of climate crisis. This reality creates an imperative for ALL ORDERS OF GOVERNMENT to undertake “rapid and far reaching” changes to building construction, energy systems, land use and transportation.

And directed staff to report back on ``opportunities to build on work already being undertaken by RDCK, to increase and/or accelerate timelines for existing actions under the ICSP and the SCEEP, and to create a unified document highlighting this work.`` In October, 2019, staff introduced a response to the Board’s April 2019 Declaration of Climate Action Imperative. A strategy of 3 big moves – Inform Action, Guide Action and Take Action was outlined. The Board then directed staff to update the RDCK Policy Framework to incorporate a climate action lens, working with staff and senior management. This report responds to that direction with an update of action since last fall and the plans for the upcoming months. Background –

STATE OF CLIMATE ACTION - UPDATE July 16, 2020 Page 2

From June to August 2019, an annual reporting tool – the first State of Climate Action in the RDCK (SoCA) was created. RDCK Finance, Corporate Administration, Environmental Services, Development Services, Fire and (formerly) Emergency staff were consulted to identify climate action goals, pathways, objectives, tools and indicators. The SoCa provides a decision making matrix that references mitigation (risk reduction) and adaptation (climate resilience) indicators within the operations of the RD.

Risk reduction - Land use/Planning, Mobility, Buildings, Energy, Resource Recovery

Climate resilient communities – Water supply, Agriculture & Food Security, Flooding & Geohazards, Wildfire and Corporate Administration

In addition to the State of Climate Action in the RDCK report produced last summer, a 4-page summary document was prepared for public distribution. This summary is a highlight of the current state of RDCK big moves by service areas. It also provides recommendations to individuals about how they can act to reduce their own impact. To support understanding and engagement, prior to COVID 19, staff intended to offer a lunch and learn to RDCK staff and elected officials. In lieu of a lunch and learn, staff are now sharing an update via this report and accompanying presentation. Current state - For 2020, staff are building on the efforts of the 100% Renewable Energy Plan to create the 2020 RDCK State of the Climate Action report. The Plan is both a general guide to the West Kootenays and also includes a specific section targeted to the 11 electoral areas. Each of the participating municipalities will also have their own specific section. The draft Plan will be shared with the Board in August for review and discussion.

FLEET SUPERVISION Fleet Supervisors Guidelines provide practical measures for Vehicle Supervisors to achieve the objectives stated in this policy. These guidelines are intended to manage the lifecycle of Regional District Vehicles in accordance with asset management principals as stated by the

Board. Procurement Regional District Vehicles are purchased, leased, or rented vehicles as specified in the Annual Budget or with approval of the Board by resolution. Vehicle purchases are in accordance with Regional District Purchasing Policy 300-06-12. Vehicle procurement requires documentation of consideration for

Complete life cycle cost of procurement options

The average intended use of the vehicle Current fleet utilization

Fuel sources, fuel economy, and emissions of procurement options Alternative technologies

Arrangements that may negate the need for a vehicle

Prior to the purchase of a new vehicle the Fleet Supervisor is required to

Complete the RDCK Vehicle Purchase and Insurance Checklist Arrange for parking

Arrange for any additional permits, licensing, or specialty equipment

Arrange for the required Regional District branding A business unit that is buying a vehicle that adds to its fleet (i.e. not a replacement) is required to fund that purchase from its own service operations/capital reserve, not the vehicle reserve. Once that vehicle is purchased, it is required to make annual contributions to the vehicle reserve to fund the future replacement of that vehicle, in accordance with the Vehicle Replacement Plan. The Vehicle Replacement Plan must reflect the actual cost of replacement value, which may not equal the original purchase cost.

Vehicle Reserve Funds Fleet Supervisors are required to submit a Vehicle Replacement Plan to the CFO or their designate for each vehicle under their supervision. The plan must outline

The requirement (statutory, operational, financial)

The method (rental, lease, purchase)

The timeline (Lease length, planned ownership)

The reserve contribution The replacement cost

240

Number: 200-01-15


Policy Manual


Unless otherwise specified in the Vehicle Replacement Plan a contribution must be made to a vehicle reserve fund to offset the cost of replacement. The CFO or their designate manages the vehicle reserve funds with input from Fleet Supervisors. Business units requiring the use of Regional District Vehicles contribute reserve funds in a manner that supports the replacement of a vehicle with a similar vehicle. A business unit may not withdraw funds in excess of the balance of that units contribution to the reserve.

Vehicle Scheduling A vehicle schedule is required to plan for the use of vehicles and ensure they are available as required. All vehicles under the care of a Fleet Supervisor must be accounted for in a vehicle use schedule. The schedule serves as a record of use and provides the metrics needed to plan for the lifecycle management of the fleet. The vehicle schedule includes downtime for repair and maintenance. Repair and maintenance scheduling should be done in a way that ensures a portion of the fleet is available for operations.

Vehicle Maintenance and Repair Regional District Vehicles must be maintained in accordance with the manufacturers specifications. Maintenance is scheduled by the Fleet Supervisor or their designate and performed by a licensed professional in a certified facility. The Fleet Supervisor keeps a maintenance log for each vehicle in their care.

Regional District Vehicles are repaired in accordance with the manufacturers specifications by a licensed professional in a certified facility. Repairs are scheduled by the Fleet Supervisor or their designate. The Fleet Supervisor keeps a repair log for each vehicle in their care. Vehicle Use Guidelines will detail how the Fleet Supervisor, Vehicle Operator, and Authorized Passenger(s) should proceed in the event that an Regional District Vehicle is damaged.

Vehicle Disposal The sale, transfer or auction of a Regional District Vehicle must be directed by the CFO or their designate. Where possible Regional District Vehicles are disposed of through trade-in on the purchase of replacement vehicles. Under exceptional circumstances a Business Unit may dispose of a vehicle through transfer to another business unit in accordance with this policy and considering fair market value.

Unless otherwise allowed by the CFO or their designate RDCK vehicles are disposed of in accordance

with the Vehicle Replacement Plan for that vehicle. Criteria for disposal in the plan may include but are

not limited to

Repairs involving a major expense

Repeated repair costs amounting to a major expense; Operational requirements

The purpose of this report is to present a draft of the Community Development Program Grants policy for Board consideration. Updating this policy is considered a priority within the ongoing review of Board approved policies. While the basic elements of the existing policy are retained in the new policy, the new draft consolidates previous policy resolutions related to this program, creates better alignment with best practices, and clarifies requirements for grant recipients.

In keeping with the standard practice, the draft policy is received as information only, for Directors discussion and comment. A final policy for adoption will be placed on the August Board agenda.


The community Development Grants program was established to distribute funds received as payments in lieu of taxation provided by Crown corporation hydroelectric generation assets within the RDCK. Currently the program is governed under two existing RDCK policies:

Policy 300 ‐09‐01 Discretionary Grants and Community Development Grants

Policy 300 ‐09‐10 Community Development Grant Policy

These existing police are attached to this report as reference material. The notable elements in the new draft policy 300‐09‐12 are:

The best elements of the two existing policies were retained, but with minor wording revisions

Procedural information that doesn’t need to be in a policy was omitted from the new policy

Stale‐dated information was omitted from the new policy

A requirement for external grant recipients to enter into Funding Agreements where the grant exceeds $5,000 in value was introduced

Requirements for submittal of grant applications were clarified,

The application form has been revised, and now includes information on recipient obligations

Utilities Governance Review

2018‐12‐07 The "Utilities Governance Review" has been initiated in 2012. Consultant reports (Jonathan Huggett) and legal reports (Lidstone) were prepared and presented on workshops to the BoD at the time. Drivers for the reports were the rapidly growing utilities department based on water system acquisitions, ongoing discussions about the future roles and responsibilities for Commissions of Management and associated liability to the RDCK, as well as criticism about the overhead charges (Environmental Services fees) associated with the management of these water systems.

The process for this governance review was halted in the summer of 2013 after consultation of various Commissions on the report recommenda ons.

Many of the problems from 2013 continue to persist (ES fees, moratorium on accepting additional water systems, role of Commissions of Management). A conclusion of this work could help establishing higher efficiency in the administration of our water systems, create increased consistency in managing these water systems and help to coordinate priori es for u li es staff.

The next step should be a revisiting with the BoD if this process should be dropped or continued. If it is continued a re‐evaluation of the exact scope for the initiative should be determined in this meeting.

July 2, 2020 Ref: 255149 Dear Mayors and Regional District Chairs: In this unprecedented time, I believe it is more important than ever that we continue to connect and work together. I have deeply appreciated our calls throughout the pandemic and hearing directly from you about how you are supporting your communities, and how we can support you. Your feedback has been invaluable and has informed our government’s responses to COVID-19 as we all work together to keep the people of British Columbia safe. While this year’s UBCM Convention will be different in many ways, I am looking forward to the opportunity for all of us to come together and to spend time discussing the needs of your community. I am writing to provide you with some initial information regarding the process for requesting a meeting with me during the UBCM Convention, taking place this year from September 22 to 24, 2020. As the UBCM Convention for 2020 will be held in a virtual and abbreviated format, Provincial Government meetings will be held by conference call and will likely occur outside of the shortened program to allow delegates to fully focus and participate in the Convention. You will receive a separate letter from the Honourable John Horgan, Premier, containing information about the online process for requesting a meeting with the Premier or other Cabinet Ministers. If you would like to indicate your interest in meeting with me around Convention time, please complete the online request form at: MAH Minister's Meeting and submit it to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing before August 4, 2020. Meeting times and dates will be confirmed by early September. In the event that I am unable to meet with you, arrangements may be made for a meeting post-Convention. To get the most out of your delegation’s meeting with me, it continues to be helpful for you to provide as much detail as possible on the topic you wish to discuss in the online form. Providing this information in advance gives me a better understanding of your delegation’s interests and helps us to make progress on delivering for the people of your community. Regarding staff meetings, ministry staff will email you shortly with the Provincial Appointment Book. This document lists all government, agency, commission and corporation staff expected to be available to meet with delegates around Convention time, as well as details on how to submit an online staff meeting request.

Board Report

Date of Report: July 1, 2020 Date & Type of Meeting: July 16, 2020 Open Regular Board Meeting Author: Nora Hannon Subject: FIRE SERVICE DECLARATION OF SERVICE LEVEL AND BYLAW

UPDATE File: 14/7750


The purpose of this report is to seek approval from the Board to revise fire department service level declarations as a result of training disruptions from Covid-19, and consolidate and amend Bylaw 2170.


RDCK Fire Department Service Levels All RDCK Fire Department training schedules were disrupted due to Covid-19. Disruptions continue, with specific courses or evaluations not yet being offered. As a result the target date for meeting the declared level of service for some departments has changed. This is reflected in the updated service level declaration table; departments with a changed date are denoted with a ‘C’. The BC Office of the Fire Commissioner Structure Firefighters Competency and Training Playbook (May 2015) sets requirements based upon the service level identified by the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) for the provision of fire services in each community. The standard references competencies drawn from the National Fire Protection Association Standards. Since 2016, RDCK Fire Departments have been working towards or have achieved their final declared service level. What is expected of an Exterior Level fire service?

Exterior Operations – Is the Service Level that includes firefighting activities restricted to the controlling and/or extinguishing the fire from a position external to the building or object in question, and outside of any IDLH (Immediate Danger to Life and Health) environment.

What types of structures does the Interior Level fire service apply to?

Interior Operations – Is the Service Level that includes firefighting activities that include entry into structures and objects with the purpose of controlling and/or extinguishing of the fire. This requires use of specialized protective equipment and procedures not covered by the training provided in relation to Exterior Operations Service Level. Interior Level operations are restricted to simple structures, and isolated more complex ones with an existing, documented and comprehensive pre-incident plan that has been trained to and practiced by all members who would make entry.

Fire Department Current Service Level

Final Service Level / Date of Completion if change from current service level



















RDCK Fire Service Bylaw 2170 update and consolidation

RDCK Bylaw 2170 requires both a comprehensive update and consolidation of one off amendments that have occurred for a number of years.

The update will include incorporating BC Office of the Fire Commissioner Structure Firefighters Competency and Training Playbook declared service levels , ensure the bylaw accurately reflects regional fire service staffing, specialized services under Schedules B,C and D, and provide for the delivery of contract fire protection by municipalities within the RDCK.

The bylaw will also include how the costs of the fire service are shared amongst the individual fire services.

The timeline for this update and consolidation is October of 2020.

315





Debt Bylaw Required: ☐ YES ☒ NO Public/Gov’t Approvals req’d: ☒ YES ☐ NO


The Office of the Fire Commissioner requires the Authority having Jurisdiction to declare service levels for each fire department.

Bylaws should reflect the services provided.


None


Service level specific training benefits the health and safety of each firefighter and supports a resilient fire force in every community.


Fire Protection supports business continuity and economic development for RDCK communities.


The Regional Fire Chief has consulted with Fire Chiefs in the RDCK Fire Service.


This recommendation is already considered in the department workplan.



Pros:

The Office of the Fire Commissioner requires that the Authority Having Jurisdiction declare a service level for each fire department that reflects the service level that department can provide.

Cons:

By not declaring an accurate service level the authority having jurisdiction may be liable if the fire department is unable to provide the declared service level.

316



RECOMMENDATION 1:

That the Board adopt the following service levels as prescribed by the BC Office of the Fire Commissioner Structure Firefighters Competency and Training Playbook, to be reached as described;

RDCK Fire Department Service Levels ‘C’ Denotes a change from the October 2019 Board resolution.

Customer solely for the purpose of providing the JotForm Software under the terms of this Agreement for the

benefit of Customer and its affiliates and for no other purpose of JotForm or of any other party, provided that

JotForm may access Customer Data to the narrowest necessary extent required for the purpose of protecting

Customer Data or JotForm’s online or computer resources from unlawful cyberattacks. Customer will determine

320


what Customer Data it wishes JotForm to host as part of the JotForm Software. Nothing in this Agreement shall be

construed as giving JotForm any right to, and JotForm shall not, and shall not permit or assist any other party to,

modify any of the Customer Data or otherwise make copies of all or part of the Customer Data onto any media,

except as may be expressly and clearly permitted by this Agreement. JotForm agrees that it shall not, and shall not

form, and data used, generated or stored in connection with Customer’s and its Affiliates’ use of the JotForm

Software.

Obligations Regarding Data Use and Compromise

JotForm agrees to use the Customer Data only in connection with providing the services to Customer as authorized

under this Agreement. JotForm shall promptly inform Customer of any known or reasonably suspected loss, misuse,

or unauthorized access, destruction, deletion, modification, or other compromise, including a penetration of

JotForm’s network or computer resources, that occurs with respect to any Customer Data (collectively, “Security

Breach”) by notifying the Customer and asking if you would like to report a security incident, and shall cooperate

with Customer in the investigation and remediation of any such occurrence. Such remediation may include, but is

not limited to the provision of notice concerning such occurrence to any person affected or potentially affected

thereby (“data subjects”) and applicable authorities. Under no circumstances, other than as required by applicable

Law, shall JotForm send notice concerning a Security Breach to data subjects without Customer’s prior written

approval. To the extent that a Security Breach results from JotForm’s or its Subcontractor’s acts or omissions,

negligence or JotForm’s failure to comply with its representations, warranties and/or obligations hereunder, JotForm

shall reimburse Customer for all reasonable investigation, remediation, forensic and legal costs incurred by

Customer or its Affiliates in connection with such Security Breach.

Confidentiality of Material

JotForm may, during the course of providing its products or services hereunder, have access to or acquire knowledge

regarding Customer Data and to materials, data, systems, procedures and other information of or with respect to

Customer or any of its Affiliates, which may not be accessible or known to the general public, including information

concerning its or their hardware, software, designs, drawings, specifications, techniques, processes, procedures, data,

research, development, future projects, products or services, projects, products or services under consideration,

content under development, business plans or opportunities, business strategies, finances, costs, JotForm’s,

employees or customers and third party proprietary or confidential information that Customer or an Affiliate treats

as confidential (“Confidential Information”). Any knowledge acquired by JotForm from such Confidential

Information or otherwise shall not be used, published, or divulged by JotForm to any other person, firm, or

corporation, in any advertising or promotion regarding JotForm or its business, or in any other manner or connection

whatsoever without first having obtained the written permission of an officer of Customer, which permission

Customer may withhold in its sole discretion. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed to grant

JotForm a license to use, sell, develop, exploit, copy or further develop any Confidential Information acquired by

JotForm in the course of providing products or services hereunder. All rights in and title to the Confidential

Information supplied by Customer or an Affiliate, shall remain in that party. Neither the execution and delivery of

this Agreement, nor the furnishing of any Confidential Information shall be construed as granting to JotForm any

license under any invention, copyright, trade secret or patent now or hereafter owned or controlled by the party

furnishing the same, nor any right to use, sell, develop, exploit or copy the Confidential Information made available

to JotForm, except to fulfill the purpose of this Agreement. JotForm agrees that, unless earlier returned, in the event

of termination or expiration of this Agreement, JotForm shall, within 14 days following the date of termination or

321


expiration, provide to Customer all Customer Data in a commercially standard database export format, together with

a certification by an officer of JotForm that all Confidential Information has been removed from JotForm’s systems.

domain without JotForm’s breach of any obligation under this Agreement, (b) was known to JotForm prior to

Customer’s or an Affiliate’s disclosure of such information to JotForm, (c) is obtained from a third party without

violation of an obligation of nondisclosure and without restrictions on its disclosure, or (d) is independently

developed by JotForm without reference to or use of the Customer’s or its Affiliates’ Confidential Information.

Security

In performing its services for Customer, JotForm shall comply with all of Customer's security requirements,

including those listed in Attachment 2, as may be amended by Customer from time to time. On or before execution

of this Agreement and annually thereafter during the Term, JotForm shall (a) cause a reputable independent third

party audit firm to conduct Type II SSAE 16 SOC1 and SOC2 audits (“SSAE Audits”) of JotForm, its

subcontractors and its and their Data Centers that are used to deliver the JotForm Software, and (b) provide to

Customer the audit reports resulting therefrom (“SSAE Reports”). The SSAE Reports shall describe the security

control policies and procedures, including a statement on the operating effectiveness of those policies and

procedures and remediation plans for any significant or material deficiencies, of JotForm and its dedicated hosting

environments, which includes servers supported by any necessary equipment or software (“Data Centers”). The

audit firm will determine whether the controls currently in place comply with federal regulations and meet industry

best practices such as ISO/IEC 27001 (Code of Practice for Information Security Management) Control Policies for

security standards. JotForm will respond to all of Customer’s questions and concerns with respect to the SSAE

Reports. JotForm shall be responsible for promptly remediating, at its cost, all failures, deficiencies and risks

identified in the SSAE Reports.

Security Reviews

JotForm will reasonably cooperate with Customer in conducting security reviews of the Data Center and the

Customer Data hosted by JotForm, as requested by Customer but not more than once a year. JotForm must supply

all necessary information for Customer to conduct such reviews. Such activities will be reasonably managed by

JotForm and Customer so as to avoid impacting service to Customer or other JotForm customers.

G. in no way limit or diminish JotForm’s liability under other provisions of this Agreement.

Anglican Diocese of the Kootenay to maintain St. Anselm’s Church and its historic furnishings, holds community events to celebrate local artists and to promote the preservation of local history (e.g., 2016 Art Fair, 2018 Summer Concert and Traditional

Tea, 2019 Workshop by Tammy Bradford, “Bringing Local History to Life”, 2020 CBT

Culture Tour – cancelled due to COVID), sponsors annual guest speakers on topics relevant to the local history of Boswell (e.g., 2016 Joan Lang, 2017 J. P. Stienne, 2018

Greg Nesteroff, 2019 Michael Cone), and partners with the Boswell Farmer’s Institute to create and place historic local signage (e.g., Boswell Boat launch, Boswell Cemetery).

2K to assist with the publication of “Boswell Beginnings and Beyond”, including book design, proof reading, and printing costs. 1K will be directed towards the printing costs for books that will be donated to other area historical societies and museums to assist with their fund-raising activities or to have available for their members and patrons.
