Subject: Proposed development

As longtime Sechelt residents we are alarmed by the proposed development adjacent to Snickett Park. We see few benefits

here for a community in dire need of affordable housing. The proposal apparently offers only one affordable suite. Forty-

eight luxury housing units and 80 parking spaces will be shoehorned into Sechelt’s beautiful waterfront, fundamentally

changing the character of the area, which mostly consists at present of individual homes on lots with many large old trees.

Needless to say, the wooded piece of land in question will be completely stripped of vegetation in the development

process. Traffic, already an issue, will increase considerably, and flow from the project will empty directly onto the

congested coast highway. Another traffic light will be required.

While such a project may demand "detailed input from nearby residents," surely the general public should also have input.

With its high density, height and major construction footprint, this would be a town-altering development.

The district needs to encourage potential developers to bring forth better plans than this, plans that take into account the

community’s needs and help preserve its cultural and physical assets, rather the ones that simply produce the greatest

profit. Katherine Johnston & Andrew Scott

September 21, 2016 OFFICE OF THE MAYOR

Dear UBCM Members:

Request for Amendments to the University Act Regarding Grants-in-Lieu of Taxes Formula

Oak Bay Municipal Council is requesting your support at the upcoming Union of British Columbia Municipalities for resolution no. B15 Payment by Universities for Services Provided by Municipalities.

The resolution wording is as follows:

WHEREAS section 27(2)(w) of the University Act empowers the University Board of Governors to pay to a municipality a grant in a year not exceeding the lesser of the amount that would be payable as general municipal taxes in the year on property of the university within the municipality if the property were not exempt from these taxes or the amount specified by the minister or calculated in the manner specified by the minister; and

WHEREAS the payments to communities on behalf of universities has declined sharply over the last decade;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the UBCM request that the Province of BC amend the University Act to require that the university grants-in-lieu-of-taxes formula better reflect forgone municipal taxes and that rates paid by universities be in keeping with payment-inlieu-of-taxes paid by the Government of Canada for Federal properties.

Given the decline over the last decade in grants-in-lieu payments to communities, despite increasing need of universities for municipal services, we hope that you will join us in supporting resolution no. B15 at the convention next week.

Subject: re: groundwater

Mayor and Council,

So you're looking for groundwater? As a person always out walking with my dog I can tell you

where there's plenty of water. Remember "Eco Village", the "green" development that never

happened, on several acres on Field Road? I walk there often and even in summer when it's hot

and dry and water is scarce, it's running all over the place there and going to waste. It runs in

rivulets down the main gravel path/road and at the bottom there's pools of water, and water

running in and out of big plastic pipes going wherever it's going and likely in the end, back into

the ocean - going to waste.

Maybe Sechelt should buy the property - it's for sale- and tap into the aquifer and build large

water holding tanks.

Just thought I'd pass this along. We certainly need to find more water on the Sunshine Coast

since every summer there isn't enough for us, yet the Municipal Councils continue to approve big

subdivisions, condo complexes, hotels, etc. which will mean thousands more people sucking up

what little water we have.

Sincerely yours,

Cecilia Ohm-Eriksen

RIDE SOURCING IN B.C. | Stakeholder Engagement Summary



In today’s modern world, app-based technologies have transformed the day-to-day lives of consumers and the way we access services. The advent of transportation network companies (TNCs), specifically, presents consumers with opportunities for new

passenger transportation services through the use of technology. Our government understands that British Columbians want choice and convenience, and as a government, we encourage innovation and competition. We embrace change and are excited to look to the future.

However, while new services can provide consumers with more transportation options, they cannot come at the expense of passenger and driver safety. It is also important to recognize the investments and jobs created by those individuals who already provide passenger transportation services in our province.

Our government believes that before we can have a productive conversation about any changes to passenger transportation services, we must first have a clear understanding of the perspectives of British Columbians regarding the role that passenger transportation plays in their lives. And, we must be informed by a clear understanding of the regulatory environment within which these services are currently delivered.

To help us gain this understanding, the Honourable Todd Stone, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure has clarified the nature of the current regulatory environment, and I was pleased to lead consultations on behalf of the Government of British Columbia, in collaboration with Minister Stone. The conversations took place across the province, and I heard from a diverse group of stakeholders. These included representatives from the taxi and limousine industry,

MESSAGE FROM THE MINISTER

transportation network companies, local governments, business and tourism associations, accessibility groups and industries that are affected by commercial passenger transportation regulations, such as insurance and consumer protection groups. In doing so, I was able to hear first-hand a range of insightful comments related to the opportunities and challenges of our Province’s vehicle for hire industry.

The following report provides an overview of the:

� current vehicle-for-hire industry in B.C. and the regulatory framework in which it operates;

� methodology of the consultations undertaken since spring 2016; and,

� feedback from the many stakeholders who participated in the consultations.

I wish to thank the participants who took part in the productive consultations that will help to inform our government in determining possible next steps for a “Made in B.C.” approach that takes into account the interests of sector participants and consumers. At the end of the day, the path we take will balance the interests of all stakeholders, protect passenger safety and address the public’s desire for more choice, convenience and competition.

Our government looks forward to any additional comments that you may have relating to ride sourcing and would be pleased to receive your feedback at: [email protected]

RIDE SOURCING IN B.C. | Stakeholder Engagement Summary 1



Regulatory FrameworkThe taxi/limousine sector is an important contributor to local economies. Across British Columbia there are currently more than 390 taxi/limousine licensees operating over 3,600 vehicles in about 110 municipalities. The sector employs more than 10,000 drivers, in addition to dispatch, vehicle maintenance and operations staff.

Unlike most other provinces, in B.C. the taxi industry is regulated at both the provincial and municipal levels, through six statutes (see Appendix II). The provincially mandated Passenger Transportation Board (PTB) determines the number of taxis that can operate within a municipality, sets the areas those taxis can operate in and determines fare structures. It may also implement policies and programs to address the personal safety of drivers and passengers, and accessibility for all riders, including those with disabilities.

Provincial legislation addresses passenger safety, vehicle safety and insurance. All vehicle-for-hire operators in B.C. must hold a National Safety Code Certificate. The National Safety Code (NSC) is a set of national standards supported by provincial regulations and administered through the Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement Branch in the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. The NSC standards establish minimum safety standards for commercial vehicles and drivers that must be met by all commercial carriers.

Provincial legislation also authorizes local governments to write by-laws that establish the requirements for commercial/business licensing, which may include how many and what types of vehicles can operate, and which can provide specific permitting requirements for drivers in each jurisdiction (Appendix II).

The Registered Owner of a passenger directed vehicle (i.e. vehicles-for-hire, taxis, limousines) must purchase the mandatory Basic vehicle insurance from ICBC. The Registered Owner may purchase additional insurance coverage over and above mandatory ICBC Basic insurance (e.g., extended liability protection, collision and comprehensive insurance) from ICBC or from private insurers in a competitive environment. Currently, there are no insurance coverage options for TNCs with ICBC.

I. B.C.’S TAXI INDUSTRY - REGULATORY FRAMEWORK & BACKGROUND

RIDE SOURCING IN B.C. | Stakeholder Engagement Summary2



What Makes Ride Sourcing UniqueRide sourcing connects passengers to vehicles-for-hire through the use of a mobile smartphone app. Passengers who wish to access the services of a TNC vehicle must download a ride sourcing app on their smart phone and have a credit card on file. Using Global Positioning System technology (GPS), the passenger’s location is catalogued when the passenger requests a ride through the app and the nearest driver partner is matched with the passenger.

Typically, the app will provide information to riders to help driver and passenger connect including the first name and a photo of the driver and the vehicle type and licence plate number. The app will also offer options for estimating the cost of the ride, rating drivers and paying the trip fare. TNC drivers are often non-professional drivers who use personal vehicles to provide rides for a fare.

TNCs differ from taxis in a number of ways. For example, TNCs allow drivers to use their personal vehicles to provide part-time, vehicle-for-hire services, whereas taxis operate as full-time vehicles-for-hire.

Approaches to Ride Sourcing in Canada Across Canada, TNCs have begun to operate in local jurisdictions. Edmonton was the first Canadian city to approve and regulate ride sourcing through a city by-law on March 1, 2016. Its new regulatory framework for vehicles-for-hire supports consumer choice and passenger safety while complying with provincial regulations that legalize TNCs.

In the following months local governments in Calgary, Ottawa and Toronto also passed by-laws to regulate TNCs in their respective jurisdictions. In June 2016, Quebec passed legislation requiring TNC companies to purchase a taxi permit, and continues discussions with the taxi and ride sourcing industry on the final structure of its regulatory framework. Other jurisdictions across Canada have undertaken stakeholder engagements, consultations and/or surveys to explore potential approaches to taxi and TNC regulations.

B.C.’s current safety and economic regulatory framework for passenger transportation does not make provisions for today’s technology and service options. In addition, there is no insurance product provided by ICBC that is priced for part-time, flexible vehicles-for-hire. Under the existing insurance regime, vehicle owners are required to purchase taxi or limousine insurance which is priced to reflect full time, higher risk commercial use.




Commitment to Stakeholder EngagementThe potential entry of ride sourcing into the province has implications for the B.C. economy, the taxi and limousine industry, local governments, consumers, the hospitality industry and other stakeholders. Consequently, it is important that government understands and carefully weighs the potential economic and social impacts of any new entrants to the province’s passenger transportation sector.

To this end, the Honourable Peter Fassbender, Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development and the Honourable Todd Stone, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure, engaged in comprehensive, multi-stakeholder consultations over the spring, summer and fall of 2016. Through a targeted engagement process, the Ministers have had the opportunity to hear and understand a range of perspectives on the challenges and benefits that ride sourcing offers for British Columbians. Feedback was received from a wide range of stakeholders including representatives from:

� the taxi/limousine industry;

� TNCs;

� local governments;

� business and tourism associations;

� accessibility groups; and,

� industries affected by vehicle-for-hire regulations, such as insurance and consumer protection groups.

Ensuring that stakeholders were heard through this dialogue is critical to government’s analysis of ride sourcing, and provides important information for any future decisions.

Emerging PrinciplesOver the course of the consultations, a number of frequently articulated principles emerged. These principles, along with associated recommendations, reflect the views and opinions of stakeholders with whom the Ministers consulted, and are provided for information. This input will be a key aspect of government’s consideration of this issue, but does not reflect a provincial position.

II. STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT OVERVIEW




Principle 1—Ensuring Passenger Safety and Vehicle SafetyA large number of stakeholders indicated that the physical safety of passengers should be a priority in any consideration of changes to the passenger transportation framework in B.C. Paired with this, ensuring the safety of passenger vehicles was also identified as a critical issue.

Stakeholder recommendations on how to achieve this included:

� requiring all vehicle-for-hire drivers to complete a background check that includes a criminal record and safe driving check;

� ensuring that drivers have safe driving training;

� requiring adequate liability insurance for all vehicles-for-hire to ensure that passengers and drivers are protected in the event of a vehicle accident and/or injuries; and,

� requiring all vehicles to be newer models and pass regular inspections.

Some stakeholders also observed that the entry of additional vehicles into the market could lead to lower fares. In turn, this increases the likelihood that individuals will choose to use vehicles-for-hire rather than driving under unsafe conditions, leading to an overall increase in road safety.

The issue of leased vehicles for vehicles-for-hire operations was also raised as a consideration. More specifically, in a situation where a leasing company owns a vehicle that is used as a taxi, bus, or limousine, that company remains fully liable for any claims that could arise from a vehicle-related accident.

Principle 2— Meeting Consumer DemandThe need to ensure that there are enough vehicles on the road to meet consumer demand for services was raised by a number of stakeholders. Several noted difficulties in accessing taxis quickly in urban centres, particularly during peak hours, holidays and special events. By extension, these types of shortages were also perceived by some as an issue of unsatisfactory customer service.

To address consumer demand, some stakeholders suggested that the Province should consider:

� increasing the number of taxi licenses, particularly in urban centres to meet customer demand in a timely manner; and,

� allowing TNCs to operate in B.C. to meet the growing consumer demand for passenger transportation services that can be secured easily and quickly through app-based technology.

BUSINESS ASSOCIATION




Principle 3—Guaranteeing AccessibilityA number of stakeholders highlighted the need to ensure that any new entrants to the passenger transportation sector are able to meet the needs of residents and visitors with accessibility issues. Specific feedback addressed a range of associated issues including:

� not compromising the supply of accessible vehicles and ensuring that there are sufficient vehicles to meet the needs of seniors and people with disabilities;

� requiring that all vehicles-for-hire provide a range of booking and payment options; and,

� ensuring that drivers are trained to work with people with disabilities and that high quality services are provided for passengers.

Some stakeholders also suggested that there may be an opportunity for government to develop incentives and establish requirements for TNCs that would support ongoing delivery of accessible services for seniors and people with disabilities.

Principle 4—Ensuring a Fair and Level Playing FieldMany stakeholders cautioned against creating a two-tier regulatory framework with different rules for TNCs and the existing passenger transportation sector, and expressed the view that all passenger transportation service providers, including TNCs, taxis and limousines, should be subject to similar regulatory requirements. This would ensure fairness across the sector (a level playing field) and a balanced, safe environment for consumers and industry service providers.

Some respondents were concerned that the entry of large numbers of TNCs to the passenger transportation sector could result in a reduction in the value of existing taxi shares. This could negatively impact the livelihood of sector participants, many of whom have made significant investments in the industry, within the parameters of the existing regulatory environment.

Some suggestions from stakeholders to address these issues include:

� implementing consistent regulatory requirements for all passenger transportation providers in the areas of insurance, passenger and vehicle safety requirements, licensing and accessibility standards;

� requiring that all new entrants to the passenger transportation sector pay applicable federal and provincial taxes including Goods and Services, personal or corporate taxes;




� enforcing the same fare structures and rules for TNCs, taxis and limousines; and,

� amending the framework that regulates the passenger transportation sector industry to allow for greater competition between existing and new service providers —many stakeholders suggested that current passenger transportation service providers could satisfy consumer demand for app-delivered services if provided with a modernized regulatory framework.

Principle 5— Building a Streamlined and Modernized Passenger Transportation SectorSome stakeholders suggested that B.C.’s passenger transportation sector is overregulated, and hampered by overlapping provincial and municipal regulatory requirements. They suggest that this has resulted in a complex and unwieldy sector where participants must interact with two levels of government, and in a regulatory structure that is challenged to respond to changing consumer interests.

Several also expressed the view that the current regulatory framework has led to lengthy delays in licensing applications and to supply caps that unnecessarily restrict the number of vehicles-for-hire. It was suggested that the resulting disconnect between supply and demand can negatively affect service standards and the ability for providers to meet the full scope of consumer interests.

A number of stakeholders suggested these challenges could be addressed by modernizing B.C.’s passenger transportation licensing structure, including by:

� amending and streamlining existing industry requirements in the vehicle licensing structure to reduce complexity and overlap in regulatory requirements between the province and municipalities; and,

� considering a regulatory model that requires all vehicles-for-hire to meet uniform, provincially-specified driver safety requirements to operate in B.C. This could enable consistent inter-municipal regulations and reduce duplicative or unique permitting requirements prescribed by individual municipalities.

Several stakeholders also suggested that existing passenger transportation providers could enhance their services through the use of value-added app based services, including through features such as providing passengers with trip costs in advance of their securing a ride.




III. MOVING FORWARD

Government is committed to transparent and open consultation with British Columbians on issues that affect them. Stakeholders have provided valuable and thoughtful feedback on ride sourcing and their perspectives of associated issues and opportunities. This study is intended to provide an overview of what was heard through that process.

The information provided by stakeholders will be an important part of government’s consideration of this issue, and its assessment of the possible impacts of potentially allowing new entrants into the passenger transportation sector.

Feedback on the findings of this consultation can be provided at: [email protected]




DEFINITIONS FOR THE PURPOSE OF THIS STUDY“app based” is a term used to describe a type of software that can be used for a variety of purposes. In this study this term is used to describe the phone application software used to match up a driver partner with a passenger or passengers.

“driver partners” is a term used by ride sourcing companies to describe the individuals who drive for the ride sourcing company as independent contractors.

“Passenger Transportation Board” is an independent tribunal in British Columbia, established under the Passenger Transportation Act, whose primary responsibility is to make decisions on applications relating to the licensing of vehicles-for-hire and inter-city buses in B.C.

“ride sourcing” is a means of connecting riders with drivers via a website or smart phone app. A passenger uses a website or smart phone app, provided by a third party facilitator, to request or hail a ride. The driver typically uses a personal vehicle to transport the passenger for payment (a fare).

“transportation network companies” means companies that provide ride sourcing through app based software.

“vehicle-for-hire” means any vehicle that is used for the transportation of passengers for payment and includes taxis, limousines and ride sourcing vehicles. This term is synonymous with passenger transportation vehicles.

-----Original Message----- From: Brian Chalmers [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, September 23, 2016 9:09 PM To: Council Subject: Proposed RTC Properties Development I am sending you this email to voice my concerns regarding the 48 unit housing development being proposed by RTC Properties to be built on a 3 lot parcel of land at the bottom of Shorncliffe Avenue. A massive development like this, set on the waterfront beside single family homes, would not be compatible with the neighbourhood. It would create a big scale big city housing complex in the heart of Sechelt that would significantly alter the dynamics of the area. Two of the proposed units are six stories high. This would represent another step in the process of blocking off Sechelt from the ocean. The project is simply too large to be built so close to downtown Sechelt. The intersection of Shorncliffe and the Sunshine Coast Highway is already a high volume traffic area. With the addition of up to 80 parking spaces for the proposed complex, this area would become a major bottleneck as cars move in and out of the parking lot onto the highway. Congestion is already bad during the summer and during peak travel times year round - it would only get worse with this new development. The project would also require the entire area to be clearcut of beautiful mature trees. This is unacceptable. I strongly urge you to reject the rezoning of this parcel. I am a resident of the Sunshine Coast and have lived here for the past 37 years. Sincerely, Brian Chalmers

Subject: Proposed rezoning Shorncliffe and highway 101

To the Mayor and Council members,

My wife and I oppose the rezoning and development at the corner of highway 101 and Shorncliffe as

currently proposed. We are neighbours and would be affected adversely by such a massive development,

which is so out of keeping with the all the single family homes around it and the Snickett Park. But even

if we did not live nearby we would be opposed to and saddened by such an overly urban development

which is so out of character with a rural community like Sechelt. The wholesale clear-cutting of all the

large trees on the property is an unacceptable consequence of this proposed development. We are not

Whistler or White Rock, nor should we aim at emulating them. We treasure the rural quality of life, the

smaller scale, the close link to the natural environment.

We understand there will and should be development and that the Council has to find funds to meet its

mandate and obligations. But Sechelt gains little benefit from this development – an extension of the

walkway, and a relatively small sum of money compared to the profit from a 48 unit waterfront

development. But any development must not destroy what attracted all of us to Sechelt in the first place.

In Sechelt our economy is dependent on tourism. Such urban style massive development on the waterfront

will destroy what attracts tourists to Sechelt in the first place.

Long ago I met an old man who recalled wistfully how beautiful Los Angeles had been in the 1920’s- that

you could smell the orange blossom and see the hills. It’s hard to imagine that now in the Los Angeles of

today. Hopefully Sechelt will not suffer a similar fate. Sometimes you don’t realize what you’ve lost ‘til

it’s gone.

We and many of our neighbours would like the opportunity to speak and ask questions at a council

meeting before any final decisions on the rezoning are made.

I am optimistic a workable compromise that allows for some development can be achieved.

-----Original Message----- From: Michael Goldberg [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, September 24, 2016 3:47 PM To: Council Subject: Poverty Reduction Plan for BC Dear Mayor and Council: Attached is a briefing note I received from the BC Poverty Reduction Coalition re UBCM resolution B47 for a poverty reduction plan for BC. The Coalition will be holding a press conference on Tuesday, September 27th, 12pm, outside the front entrance of the Convention Centre, on Douglas St. I hope you can join the press conference and encourage all provincial parties to bring forward a poverty reduction strategy as part of the upcoming election campaign. Sincerely, Michael Goldberg







Briefing Note UBCM Resolution B47: Poverty Reduction Strategy for BC Issue Resolution B47: Poverty Reduction Strategy for BC will be voted on within a block on Wednesday, September 28 at the Union of BC Municipalities in Victoria. The UBCM Resolutions Committee recommends endorsing the resolution so we anticipate that the vote will support the resolution; but in order to raise public awareness about this local government movement, we will be hosting a press conference on Tuesday, September 27, 2016, at 12 pm outside the front entrance of the Convention Centre on Douglas Street. Current Situation This year, 17 municipalities have passed resolutions in support of a poverty reduction strategy for BC. 7 of these brought forward resolution B47 and 3 brought forward related resolution C16: Poverty Reduction Plan for BC, others did not meet the submission deadline to UBCM:

o Burnaby o Prince GeorgeB47 o Fernie o Prince RupertB47 o Keremeos o RichmondC16 o Lake Country o RosslandC16 o Langley TownshipB47 o Terrace o NelsonC16 o SummerlandB47 o New Westminster o Parksville

o SurreyB47 o VancouverB47

o Powell River CityB47

Resolution B47:

“Therefore be it resolved that UBCM urge the Government in BC to follow the lead of all other provinces by adopting a comprehensive and accountable provincial poverty reduction strategy to reduce the number of people living in poverty in BC by setting concrete targets and timelines to reduce poverty.”

The UBCM Resolutions Committee “notes that the UBCM membership endorsed 2015-B44 [brought forward by Terrace], which made similar requests for the provincial background to develop and implement a poverty reduction strategy.”

British Columbia has one of the highest poverty rates in Canada at just over 13% and 1 in 5 children live in poverty. Yet BC is now the only province in Canada without a poverty reduction plan.



Background An additional 7 municipalities have passed resolutions in previous years (Delta, Duncan, Grand Forks, Port Alberni, Revelstoke, Victoria and White Rock). UBCM membership has consistently endorsed resolutions calling for a provincial poverty reduction strategy, including the establishment of targets and timelines, since 2009.

Officially launched in April 2012 in response to these calls, UBCM partnered with the Ministry for Children and Family Development in the Community Poverty Reduction Strategies initiative started in 7 pilot communities (and never effectively enlarged). According to the latest progress report, this initiative has supported less than 100 people throughout BC in accessing existing services and supports, and has made no progress in tackling the root causes identified in the report itself e.g. inadequate income, unaffordable housing and childcare, etc.

In October 2015, UBCM announced their departure from the project and one of the pilot communities, Prince George, also provided notice that they would no longer be participating. According to the official statement,

“Moving forward, UBCM will continue to advocate for a provincial poverty plan. We feel this has the greatest potential to affect change on poverty reduction in BC, and encourage the provincial government to undertake this work.”

Further, for 3 years running, the bi-partisan Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services report on budget consultations has included a recommendation to develop a comprehensive poverty reduction strategy, including legislated targets and timelines for the reduction of poverty and homelessness in BC.

The government’s continued response to UBCM calls is to emphasize its focus on growing the economy and creating jobs, and providing targeted supports to those who need them, but this is inadequate. Approximately half those living in poverty in BC are working but low-wage jobs are not enough to lift them out of poverty. While there has been some targeted action toward single parents on income assistance, many communities remain over-represented in poverty including indigenous people, recent immigrants and refugees, foster youth aging out of care, people with disabilities, queer and transgender people (especially youth), and single senior women. Speaking Points

The poverty rate in British Columbia continues to be among the highest in Canada at just over 13%, and child poverty rates in BC are still 1 in 5

Yet BC remains the only province without a poverty reduction plan

Many impacts of poverty are experienced at the local level, and local residents pay for poverty in increased health care costs, higher crime, higher demand for community, social and charitable readiness, reduced school success, and lower economic productivity

The current cost of poverty is $8-9 billion per year, while a poverty reduction plan including raising incomes and addressing affordability issues through the provision of housing, childcare, health and education would cost just half that at $3-4 billion per year

78% of British Columbians want the provincial government to implement a poverty reduction plan (according to a BC Federation of Labour poll undertaken earlier this year)

This resolution is a strong collective call from local governments for provincial responsibility and action to address the root causes of poverty in BC

Subject: Support Resolution B128

Dear Mayor Milne and Council,

Please support resolution B128 sponsored by Highlands, and supported by the Association of

Vancouver Island and Coast Communities (AVICC) calling on the province to establish an

annual fund to purchase and protect endangered ecosystems on private lands using the

accumulated funds from unredeemed beverage container deposits.

As we know in this district, many of the most endangered ecosystems in British Columbia as

well as many community drinking watersheds and areas of high recreational and scenic, social

and spiritual importance are found on private lands that are threatened with development.

I’m sure you are already aware of the report “Finding the Monday to Buy and Protect Natural

Lands” however i remind you of it and encourage you to follow this movement towards

protection of important lands in our district and province, that deserve our care and the capacity

for future generations to savour the medicine of these soulful and somatic places in our

community.

Many thanks and blessings for your care of this important issue,

Penny Allport

-----Original Message----- From: Cavin [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, September 27, 2016 5:21 PM To: Council Subject: Safety concerns about lake of light on Pilot ave I go up and down to Chat high school at night for PAC meetings and late classes for kids. There is almost no light on Pilot way etc. Due to complaints from condo people Metal Shades were put on to block light coming from street lights. This is very dangerous and if anyone is injured due to poor or almost no lighting the town might be held liable. I suggest that proper street lights be installed that light the street and not the sidelines. When you turn the corner onto Pilot it is like driving into a dark hole. If. Young women is attacked in this dark hole at night knowing the town obstructed proper lighting how would you feel. Our kids should have a safe well lite path to walk and ride or drive to school.
