LETTER OF INTRODUCTION

Our team is pleased to have the opportunity to present this proposal of consultant services to the City of Rossland for the preparation of a Heritage Management Plan for the City.

The team’s values-based heritage conservation work is founded on community input combined with expert historical research, community facilitation, architectural and cultural landscape design and documentation, strategic planning and cultural resource management.

We envision Rossland’s Heritage Management Plan as a document designed specifically for the particular needs of the City, an authentic and easily implemented heritage plan that is relevant to the whole community.

In our heritage management planning, we first seek to understand what is particular and valued about the place of study, and to meet the specific goals of our client. The success of this approach is due in part to our values-based philosophy, a close and customized working relationship with the client, effective community engagement and a team that is committed to a full understanding of the place to produce the best outcomes for the client and the wider community.

Our work will result in a comprehensive understanding of Rossland’s history and heritage, seen in its buildings, structures, landscapes, neighbourhoods, community rituals and intangible resources that the community will recognize as key to making Rossland what it is today.

Using this background, we will produce a clear, succinct, easily implemented Heritage Management Plan that aligns with other concurrent City master plans, that the public can support and that the City can easily integrate into future planning initiatives.

We are a forward-thinking team of experienced heritage professionals with the appropriate expertise and tools for heritage conservation in the 21st century. We look forward to assisting the City of Rossland in the preparation of a Heritage Program for Rossland.

Sincerely,

Denise Cook BCAHP



SUMMARY OF PROPOSALThe consultant team is a collaboration of four heritage consultants: Denise Cook, Denise Cook Design; James Burton, Birmingham & Wood Architects and Planners; Berdine Jonker, Independent Heritage Consultant; Elana Zysblat, Ance Building Services.

Collectively, the team brings a valuable suite of specialization and experience in heritage conservation theory and practice. The team’s past work in the Columbia Basin and in Rossland brings to the project a solid understanding of the rich and diverse history and cultural heritage of Rossland and the West Kootenay region. This knowledge also includes more recent events, such as shifts in local and regional economies and changing community demographics, and the potential for coordinated efforts on a regional basis, particularly for heritage and cultural tourism.

The proposal brings our experience from work in communities across the province, which has given us a clear understanding of some of the challenges to heritage conservation, such as inclusiveness for a variety of heritage values, sensitive infill design in historic downtowns, lack of coordination among heritage groups, balancing heritage conservation and development, and the need to effectively integrate heritage planning into community processes.

The proposal acknowledges the importance of first understanding Rossland’s current and historical planning contexts, pertaining both to heritage conservation specifically and community management generally. Establishing this foundational understanding will allow the plan for future management of heritage resources to be firmly rooted in the strengths of yesterday and today.. It also acknowledges that a strong plan must be built on a current and relevant confirmation of the community’s heritage values; it is the role of the team to understand and document these values, while applying research, public administration knowledge and technical expertise to the development of a practical and practicable values-based management plan.

The proposal includes an enhanced community consultation process, through which information from the wider community will be collected through consultant and community-led engagement events, and consultation with individuals and groups.

The proposal recognizes that there isn’t a one-size-fits-all heritage plan which meets the needs of all communities, that there are multiple layers of different values, and that acknowledging this leads to stronger and more effective heritage management.



To date, Rossland has put considerable effort into conserving, restoring and maintaining its heritage places, and it is the intent to build on these and other initiatives in the community that together are an effective starting point for the development of the of the Heritage Management Plan.

The Heritage Management Plan will:• Respond effectively to the objectives and policies outlined in the Official

Community Plan (OCP)• Include core community heritage values as a basis for management planning• Be created with a high level of community input• Be based on current thinking and practice in heritage conservation• Be designed for relevancy over the next decade

PROJECT UNDERSTANDINGA HERITAGE MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE CITY OF ROSSLAND

In 2030, Rossland is a resilient alpine community and a leader in balancing social, environmental and economic sustainability. Celebrated for its unique

cultural heritage, small-town charm and world-class natural amenities, Rossland offers residents and visitors alike extensive recreational opportunities,

trail networks and green spaces. The thriving, diverse economy embraces innovation and entrepreneurism, and its citizens actively contribute to a

welcoming, vibrant community that is safe, inclusive and affordable.

Rossland OCP, Community Vision

The City of Rossland strives to create a Heritage Management Plan that is a realistic and proactive policy framework to guide the conservation of its heritage resources and encourage community investment and sensitive development. This plan will involve and engage the City, private property owners, and the wider community. The overall goal is the development of an effective municipal heritage management program that will achieve a better understanding and long-term conservation of the City’s significant heritage resources.

Rossland is rich in both natural and cultural heritage; the community, guided by the work of the Rossland Heritage Commission in the last decade, has already made strides in positioning itself as a leader in demonstrating the important connection between heritage conservation with sustainable economic development, while continuing to protect and cultivate its unique community identity, culture, and character.

Through the further identification of heritage values and historic places through community engagement events, our work will also be foundational to, or inform, the updating of the community’s heritage inventory and heritage register.

Berdine Jonker is a heritage conservation professional with 20 years’ experience



working in British Columbia. Her work history includes both running a private consultation business and employment in the public service (Government of British Columbia).

Berdine’s strength in heritage conservation practice focuses on the advancement of values-based management of built and cultural heritage resources throughout B.C. As an expert in the facilitation of community-based consultation on heritage values and historic place significance, her work has influenced a spectrum of projects ranging from the development of a provincial heritage strategy to the physical conservation of National Historic Sites.

Combining her knowledge and expertise of values-based management with her education in public administration has positioned Berdine as a leader in the development of heritage conservation policy, methodologies, and projects that have advanced cultural resource management at all levels of government. Whether applied to vast cultural landscapes or interpretive highway signage, this combination of disciplines has allowed Berdine to design, contribute to, and lead numerous projects from concept to completion.

While working at the B.C. Heritage Branch (Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Management and Rural Development (FLNRO) in the Province of British Columbia, Victoria), Berdine held a range of positions including Register Officer for the B.C. Register of Historic Places, Community Heritage Planner, Senior Heritage Planner, and, most recently, Manager of Heritage Programs and Services, overseeing a team of heritage planners in the development of heritage conservation policy and programs.

Core aspects of this work included building capacity for heritage conservation at the local government level, development of conservation plans for government-owned heritage resources, and the development of the Provincial Heritage Recognition Program.

Berdine recently made a career change, and is currently a Resource Manager for FLNRORD in Nelson, B.C. This shift is broadening her exposure to the intricacies of natural resource management, and is presenting opportunities to integrate a consideration of cultural resource management into government’s practices for land management on a wider scale.

Berdine holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree (Art History), a post-graduate Diploma of Cultural Resource Management, and a Masters Degree in Public Administration from the University of Victoria.

PROJECT METHODOLOGY AND WORK PLAN

GENERAL APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY

Our approach to development of the Rossland Heritage Management Plan will encompass the whole heritage of the place and clearly understand its many heritage values through an engaging and effective community consultation process. The plan will be explicitly driven by heritage significance, and how that significance and future change will be managed.

The team will consider a wide range of values, such as historical, aesthetic, scientific, cultural, social, spiritual, educational, recreational, ecological and other values, based on research, expert knowledge and community consultation.

All aspects of the development and evolution of Rossland over time will be documented in a succinct historical context statement based on a thematic framework, creating an understanding of what events and forces have made the City the place it is today.

The consultant team is also mindful of the growing understanding and consideration of indigenous culture and values in the presentation and interpretation of British Columbia’s heritage. Careful consideration will be given to ensuring the Heritage Management Plan is respectful of and honours any potential community heritage values related to the stories of the Ktunaxa, Okanagan, and Sinixt peoples, in whose traditional territories the City lies, identified during community engagement.

The team’s approach comprises three core actions:

• Develop a concise contextual understanding of Rossland’s past and present heritage conservation planning programs by conducting a policy scan and analysis

• Confirm community heritage values and heritage resources through community consultation and engagement

• Develop concise, incremental, and practicable policies and actions for heritage conservation management, built on the strengths of past planning processes and programs, and innovating for the future. These include day-to-day city planning, administration, and operations, effective application of conservation tools and incentives, and community education and heritage promotion actions for tourism

An emphasis will be placed on the integration of the heritage plan with City’s current planning and heritage initiatives, including the Tourism, Affordable Housing and Culture master plans, and to City departments and planning processes generally.

Our approach will document values and identify heritage

through research, community input and as a response to

place. Consideration of natural indigenous and intangible

heritage values will be included in our work.

Combined with expert technical analysis, our work will create a heritage program that is easily implemented and unique to the needs of the City of Rossland. In doing so we will encompass a holistic understanding of the character, meaning and sense

of place of the city and its environs.



Rossland’s Heritage Management Plan will be developed first through public engagement, bringing together a wide range of groups and individuals to provide input and knowledge into the creation of an over-arching policy framework that will guide heritage conservation currently and in the future.

The result will be an integrated document created through a community and values- based understanding of the City’s heritage. It will be pragmatic and easily implemented, and presented in a technically-sound manner through clear and expert recommendations for future management strategies and actions for heritage conservation, promotion, and development.

The project methodology is summarized in the following phases and tasks. We have listed the tasks chronologically for clarity, but tasks may overlap, with activities occurring at the same time.

Phase 1: Historical and Planning Context

Task 1a: Project start-up, research and information collectionTask 1b: Draft thematic framework developmentTask 1c: Current policy, initiatives and planning contextTask 1d: Community engagement designTask 1e: Review progress with Steering Committee

Phase 2: Rossland’s Heritage Values and Historic Places

Task 2a: Public engagement and community heritage valuesTask 2b: Development of historical context statementTask 2c: Meet with Steering Committee

Phase 3: Community Planning for Heritage

Task 3a: Vision, goals and objectives for heritage in RosslandTask 3b: Heritage management policyTask 3c: Management strategies and actionsTask 3d: Design guidelines reviewTask 3e: Using the Heritage Management PlanTask 3f: Steering Committee review and final plan submission

PHASE 1: HISTORICAL AND PLANNING CONTEXT

Task 1a: Project start-up, research and information collection

• Through the City of Rossland, organize a start-up face-to-face meeting of consultant team members, Steering Committee and City planning staff.

• Conduct a tour of Rossland, documenting its current community character.• Conduct research at various repositories as required to facilitate the



thematic framework (1b) and policy scan (1c) tasks, including background reports and other resource material from the City.

• Identify existing base mapping, aerial photographs, historical photographs and other materials to use in the study.

Task 1b: Draft thematic framework

The purpose of the thematic framework is to examine the history of Rossland, presenting natural, cultural and intangible heritage in a succinct and comprehensive way, as a basis for understanding both the place and its heritage resources. The thematic framework is the basis on which community engagement events and the heritage management plan will be developed.

• Develop a high-level thematic framework that identifies and explains the major themes, factors and processes that have influenced the history of Rossland and provide a framework to investigate and identify historic places.

Task 1c: Current policy, initiatives and planning context

The Heritage section of the City of Rossland Official Community Plan includes detail about near-term goals that build on existing initiatives such as heritage walks and museum activities. This task will consolidate all of the City’s current planning policies, heritage management initiatives and any other plans or strategies - environmental, trails, recreational, and others - and synthesize their relevance and potential integration into heritage management planning.

• Document the past and present planning context of Rossland and its relationship to heritage conservation, including the history of the heritage program, cultural context, official community plan, zoning bylaw, land use designations, development permit area policies and guidelines and other planning issues planning issues, programs, and regulations (whether at a national, provincial, regional, or local level) that may affect, or have affected, heritage policy and planning over time.

• Review the Official Community Plan, which identifies two objectives and 12 policies for heritage, and use this information in the design of community engagement exercises to ensure the Heritage Management Plan aligns with both the City’s and community’s expectations for its heritage planning program.

• Refer to the BC Heritage Branch’s “Building Capacity for Heritage Conservation” annual survey results to fully understand how Rossland’s heritage conservation capacity has changed since 2006.

• Document emerging trends in heritage conservation planning that are relevant to the management plan.



Task 1d: Community engagement design

Thoughtful and meaningful community engagement is integral to the development of a successful Heritage Management Plan. This task will:

• Develop a set of community engagement questions that are based on the thematic framework to guide confirmation of community heritage values.

• Create engagement exercises that will allow people to share thoughts on the strengths of past planning actions and programs, based on the content of the policy scan.

• Establish the number community engagement events, and any other forms of engagement, required to gather sufficient information for development of the plan.

• Establish engagement logistics, such as dates and venues.

Task 1e: Collect feedback from Steering Committee

Submit electronically the, thematic framework, planning context and community engagement design summary for feedback from City staff and the Steering Committee, in advance of the meeting with the Steering Committee during trip 2.

Phase 1 deliverable: Draft document including thematic framework, policy scan, and public engagement design plan.

PHASE 2: ROSSLAND’S HERITAGE VALUES AND HISTORIC PLACES

Task 2a: Public engagement and community heritage values

The first step in this task will be to develop a list of stakeholders, in addition to the Steering Committee, who should be consulted about the plan. It will also include a program with which to engage the broader community, and how the community can be kept informed about the progress of the heritage management plan.

The community engagement will be used to expand on the community’s understanding of its identity and significance, including indigenous values, natural heritage and more recent heritage to be included in the assessment of heritage values. It will also ask the public to review the heritage objectives and policies in the OCP and how they might be prioritized as part of the heritage management plan.

In addition to the identification of community heritage values and places, input will be collected about the community’s vision for heritage, potential issues and challenges, and ideas about how Rossland’s heritage can best be managed, protected, conserved or interpreted, to be addressed in the policies and management strategies in Phase 3, Community Planning for Heritage.

The public process will also be used to clearly understand definitive concerns from property owners, developers the business owners, and others about existing heritage design guidelines. This will be a means for the team to make



recommendations for their update so they are not onerous, but rather seen and accepted as a community benefit, while still protecting the heritage character of the City. This information gathered during the community engagement phase will feed back into the revised historical context statement and be fully reflected in the management plan.

Community consultation will use the thematic framework and policy scan developed in Phase 1 as a starting point for engaging the community, asking critical questions about what they value about Rossland and why, what significant places exist in and around the city, and why they are important. The goal is to collect as comprehensive an understanding of these places as possible, recognizing a wide range of heritage resources that support community identity and character - natural, cultural and intangible, such as buildings, structures, landscapes, streetscapes, trees, industrial sites or other features.

The community consultation is proposed to include:

• A heritage values workshop designed to engage the whole community, not just the heritage sector

• An online survey that is engaging and easy to use• Individual meetings or interviews with identified key stakeholders• Information disseminated through the City’s website

The Steering Committee will be encouraged to engage with the public as much as possible throughout the course of the project, particularly with encouraging the public to access the survey.

• Identify stakeholders such as heritage property owners, users, groups, societies, funding organizations and others that should be consulted during the management plan process.

• Work with the City and Steering Committee to develop presentation materials, advertising and outreach activities to support the community engagement.

• Plan for and conduct the heritage values workshop.• Assess and summarize community heritage values collected by the

Steering Committee, including a diverse group of stakeholders with varying points of view.

• Synthesize the community engagement results from the workshop, online survey, any hard-copy surveys and interviews into meaningful value statements for use in creating heritage management policies and actions.

• Finalize the historical context and thematic framework based on input from

Workshop theme board example



the community engagement.• Create a list of historic resources, places and intangible heritage identified

during the community engagement.

Task 2b: Historical context statement

The heritage context statement is a key planning tool for the conservation of the community’s heritage and the development of the management strategies and actions. The context statement will be developed using historical research, the thematic framework and the information on values and historic places documented during the community engagement events. The result will be a comprehensive yet concise and succinct illustrated chronology and story of the development of Rossland and its culture over time.

Important and character neighbourhoods and districts in the city, along with any significant heritage features, will be identified and mapped as part of the context statement.

• Review the City’s current timeline and chronology and update as necessary.

• Develop the context statement based on the community engagement, themes, research and site work.

• Examine the physical development and evolution of the city and its geographical places and individual neighbourhoods.

• Prepare brief statements of significance for each of Rossland’s neighbourhoods, including Downtown, as over-arching documents that can be used as important planning tools.

• Include mapping, plans, photographs and other graphic material to illustrate the document.

Task 2c: Meet with Steering Committee

Present progress to date to the Steering Committee for discussion and feedback.

Phase 2 Deliverable: Draft document with revised context and themes, synthesized heritage values and identified historic places.

PHASE 3: COMMUNITY PLANNING FOR HERITAGE

Community-driven planning for heritage is the heart of the Rossland Heritage Program. It outlines the vision, goals, policies, actions and implementation that will guide heritage conservation in Rossland over the short and long term. This phase will set out the guiding principles for heritage management in Rossland,



specific to the community, but consistent with any other relevant local, regional, or provincial policies.

To date, much of Rossland’s heritage conservation activity has focused on its significant historic downtown. In order to effectively manage its heritage, it is important to understand and recognize the wide range of heritage resources that support its historical context, community identity and character.

Heritage planning must be closely linked to other community planning and development activities, with other government departments such as engineering and parks, and be consistent with community legal and administrative processes and limitations.

The plan will also explore how the heritage values of the community can be used to promote economic development and investment in Rossland. Understanding the qualities that brought people and development to the city a century ago and those that have endured to make the community attractive today are aspects of heritage conservation that can be a catalyst for community development and prosperity. The final plan will be developed to be flexible and forward thinking.

Task 3a: Vision, goals and objectives for heritage in Rossland

The development of an over-arching vision a series of achievable goals, and the objectives to achieve those goals is the starting point for developing heritage management policies and strategies.

As part of this task, the team will undertake a SOAR analysis, identifying

Heritage conservation within the community

planning context:



the strengths, opportunities, aspirations and results that will create the most practicable and realistic goals identified internally and externally, Additionally, this process will ensure that the management plan is aligned with the expectations of the community.

• Conduct an analysis of strengths, opportunities, aspirations and results of the management planning process and record the results in a chart.

• Use compiled values from the public consultation, the SOAR analysis, input from the Steering Committee, the OCP and any other relevant documents to develop a vision statement and a series of goals for heritage management in Rossland.

Task 3b: Heritage management policy

Heritage conservation policies are an over-arching set of guiding principles applied prior to land-use planning, management or development actions in order to minimize the impact on heritage values. Heritage policy can address such things as character, significance, level of heritage service and other aspects of heritage conservation.

• Develop an overarching policy framework that will to achieve the goals to guide heritage conservation now and into the future specifically tailored to the City of Rossland.

Task 3c: Management strategies and actions

The strategies outlined in the management plan will be guided by community heritage values the heritage context statement, , project goals, and will directly support the policy framework developed in task 3b. They will address aspects of heritage planning such as economic potential, conservation tools and incentives, integration into community planning, cultural and heritage-based tourism, partnerships, natural heritage, and awareness and educational

SOAR analysis matrix



initiatives. Every action suggested in the management plan will strive to have a source of funding or supporting partnership program associated with it.

As with other projects the team has worked on, the strategies and associated actions will be developed so each step, when completed successfully, is a natural stepping-stone to the next, with each action building upon the previous one.

• Develop detailed strategies and associated actions to create a longer-term framework, and set out priorities for heritage conservation activities.

• Provide strategies that consider the conservation of specific neighbourhoods or areas of historical character in addition to the historic downtown

• Identify how heritage conservation planning can become part of all aspects of Rossland’s planning and development, both day-to-day and long term, as well as throughout all City departments.

• Research and document potential partnerships for heritage conservation, both within and outside the community. For example, the community can build on the relationship with the Columbia Basin Trust, whose heritage planner is a valuable community resource.

• Include strategies that identify and achieve the economic benefits stemming from heritage conservation and management, and ensure the heritage management plan is closely connected to the goals for economic and social development in the OCP.

• Emphasize support for the private sector and owners of heritage sites by developing a clear and transparent regulatory process.

• Include strategies and tools for the conservation of municipally-owned heritage assets and the public realm.

• Include strategies that emphasize the connection between sustainable communities and heritage conservation and that support the growth of local and regional target economic growth sectors such as green industry, eco-tourism and heritage and cultural tourism.

• Review provisions in the existing OCP and dentify opportunities and mech-anisms for the use of incentives such as equivalency provisions contained in the BC Building Code, Heritage Building Supplement and Green Build-ing Code, including non-monetary incentives, such as land use regulations relaxation, tax exemption or development or density bonuses.

• Identify ways that heritage stakeholders and other groups and institutions can assist in heritage awareness and education initiatives, and for ongoing engagement of the broader community including the private and volunteer



sectors.• Conduct a survey of potential local, regional and provincial partners who

can assist in making the plan a reality and analyze the roles and potential benefits of each partner.

• Make recommendations regarding the content of a permanent website for heritage information to be managed by the City of Rossland, including possible links to other websites promoting heritage within the region.

• List and describe the appropriate and available range of heritage conserva-tion tools that can be utilized for the conservation of heritage values and sites on City-owned and non-municipal property within the community.

Task 3d: Design guidelines review

It has been identified that Rossland’s current design guidelines and permit application process need to be streamlined and improved to provide a more coherent and consistent document. As well, the idea of Rossland having a specific building style for Rossland should be reviewed. Values-based and less prescriptive design guidelines can achieve the conservation of heritage value while allowing for innovative and creative built environment design solutions, sensitive modern design that respects a historic environment.

• Review Rossland’s current design guidelines and make recommendations for their revision to reflect a values-based process.

Task 3e: Using the Heritage Management Plan

It is important that the Heritage Management Plan be seen as a practical, straightforward and easy to use document for the City, business owners and the wider community.

• Provide clear direction as to the use of the Heritage Management Plan community-wide in a practical and easily implemented way.

• Identify a program of periodic review for the Heritage Management Plan.

Task 3f: Steering Committee review and final plan submission

The draft heritage management plan will be submitted electronically to the Steering Committee for feedback, and comments will be integrated into the final document.
