City of Williams Lake Acquires RC Cotton Waterfront Lands
Courtesy of the City of Williams Lake:
City of Williams Lake Council is excited to announce the transfer of RC Cotton waterfront lands from BC Rail to the City of Williams Lake for recreation trail and lakefront access.
Considered a vital link in the River Valley recreation trail system, the waterfront lands form a 1.3 kilometer-long route between the lake and Stampede Grounds. This connection strengthens Williams Lake’s city center presence on the waterfront. Flagged as a priority in the City’s Parks Trail and Outdoor Master Plan to promote walking, cycling and outdoor recreation within the City, the intent is to develop a lakeside trail alongside the shoreline, providing viewing over the marsh, and conserving the natural lake edge.
The City of Williams Lake has been working to acquire the four-hectare (10 acre) parcel from BC Rail since 2011. Lakeside trail development will be funded in part through a community recreation grant offered by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing.
Design of the trail, parking area and amenities will be completed over the coming year. The City is working with Nature Trust of BC and the Williams Lake Field Naturalists to explore opportunities for a pedestrian bridge connection to Scout Island that would incorporate the Nature Centre into the City’s River Valley network. Opportunities for the future include new access to the lake for launching boats and further trail continuation along South Lakeside Drive.
For more information, please call the Development Services Department at 250-392-2311
Reid St Revitalization Project - Sept 19th update
Courtesy of the City of Quesnel:
Phase two concrete is nearing completion. This has been slowed down by rainy weather, however, is expected to be completed by Friday September 20th.
The next step will be the grading and paving of Phase Two. As with the concrete, this is weather permitting. The contractor is scheduled to have the remainder of the project ready to pave next week.
Line painting in the 200 Block of Reid Street and Barlow Ave is nearly complete. The 200 Block of Reid St. and Barlow Ave will be opened to traffic soon but will require partial closures at times for landscaping and street furnishings installation.
Delivery of the streetlight poles has taken longer than expected. Temporary lighting will be installed on Reid St. at the intersections and in late October the final lights will be completed. This will not delay opening up the road to traffic.
Quesnel Council Highlights - Sept 18th mtg
Courtesy of the City of Quesnel:
Vaping and Cannabis Regulations
Council approved the first three readings of proposed Bylaw 1846, that amends the City’s existing Smoking Regulation Bylaw 1846, with the following vaping and cannabis amendments:
The next steps include proposed Bylaw 1846 to receive final adoption by Council before recreational cannabis becomes legal in British Columbia on October 17, 2018.

Cannabis Retail
Staff asked Council the following questions around cannabis retail:
1. Should the City have any non-medical cannabis retail locations?
2. Should there be a limit on the number of stores?
3. Where should the stores be located?
4. Do we want provincial stores, private stores or both?
Council requested staff to bring forward policy that would allow for one retail store to be located in the downtown core that would be publicly-owned and regulated by the Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch.
Next steps include: create a business license fee; draft zoning policy; develop procedures for reviewing application, obtaining resident feedback and providing comment to the Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch.

100 Mile House receives Rural Dividend
Courtesy of the Province of BC:
The 100 Mile Nordic Ski Society will be able to make upgrades to existing ski trails, thanks to a $388,375 grant from the Province.
“This project is a good example of a community organization getting involved and finding ways to improve and diversify the local economy,” said the Hon. Doug Donaldson, Minister of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development. “This grant is provided from the Rural Dividend’s special circumstances provision, which was specifically designed to assist communities undergoing economic hardship, such as those impacted by wildfire.”
The funds will be used to install new trail lighting on four kilometres of existing ski trails at the Nordic ski facility in 100 Mile House. The ski facility provides year-round community recreation opportunities for residents in the area and is an important asset for the local winter tourism industry.
“The 100 Mile Nordic Ski Society is thankful for the rural dividend funding for replacing and upgrading our lighting system for our Nordic trails,” said Kristi Iverson, the society’s president. “We’ve worked hard at adding new trails and improving our existing trails for skiers of all levels to enjoy. This is a legacy for the community and visitors alike to be proud of.”
As part of Budget 2018, the Government of British Columbia committed to extending the $25-million-per-year Rural Dividend to 2020-21. The Rural Dividend is one aspect of government’s rural development mandate, which is committed to making rural communities more resilient.

Editorial: Controversial Public Hearings/Elected Officials
Editorial:
At last night's Williams Lake City Council meeting - a public hearing was held to hear public input, for and against, on a rezoning application to allow secondary suites in the R-9 zone within single family dwellings for property at 375 Mandarino Place - view the full item here. The Williams Lake Tribune captures what transpired at the public hearing and subsequent Council decision here
During the Public Hearing -- on several occasions, people addressing Council strayed from the proposed amendment to making it personal. Had I personally chaired this Public Hearing, I would have instructed individuals to speak to the amendment and not make it personal & not come and rebut previous points raised which, in turn, would have reduced the 1 hour long Public Hearing down to 10-20 minutes
In the end by a 4-3 vote, Council decided to adopt the proposed amendment to the R-9 zone, as referenced above.
WL City Council and its' Staff may wish to consider reviewing how Public Hearings are conducted including making the rules clear by way of a Statement of the Chair of the Public Hearing at the beginning of a Public Hearing. In my experience, more often than not - when this step is done (plus interventions from the Public Hearing Chair, when required), Public Hearings are respectful and civil when making one's views known on amendments to Official Community Plan/Zoning Bylaws
Finally - as a community member, I was deeply troubled that one WL City Councillor was verbally yelled at, as a result of the vote. We don't have to agree with the decision but I would implore the community to remember that your elected officials on Williams Lake City Council are also community members and we should all treat them as we would want our elected officials to treat us - with respect, decency and civility.
I expect people will feel passionate about the decision for the next few days but, as the old saying goes -- This too will pass...
This editorial is my own and is not reflective on my elected position as Cariboo Regional District Electoral Area 'D' Director

BC Program to support access to affordable farmland for young farmers
Courtesy of the Government of BC:
The B.C. Land Matching program aims to address a lack of affordable farmland in the province by connecting new and young farmers with local landowners.
“The B.C. Land Matching Program is an innovative approach to one of the greatest barriers facing new and young farmers, which is accessing affordable farmland,” said The Hon. Lana Popham, BC's Minister of Agriculture. “The program will help new and young farmers and landowners, which ensures good farmland is being farmed and increases the province’s food security for British Columbians. Let’s get farmers onto the land, and let’s get farming!”
Popham was joined by local farmers and representatives from Young Agrarians (FarmFolk CityFolk Society) at Salt & Harrow Farm in Parksville to announce the new B.C. Land Matching Program.
The price of land in some parts of the province is making farming unattainable for many families, especially where some of the highest-quality agricultural soil is found. Many established farmers aging out of the industry are trying to develop succession plans to ensure their land is kept in production. As well, farmland owners who are not farming are often motivated to support local food systems and provide an opportunity to a young farmer-entrepreneur by leasing their land.
Dedicated land matchers are assigned to Vancouver Island, Metro-Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, the Okanagan and the Columbia Basin to work closely with farmers, landowners, local governments and agricultural organizations. The support and services offered by land matchers range from hosting land-linking events to developing relationships with landowners, land seekers and community leaders, to facilitating negotiations and terms of the leasing arrangement with the support of a lawyer between landowners and land leasers.
Seann Dory, who runs Salt & Harrow Farm, exemplifies the success of land leasing in B.C.’s agriculture sector. Seann met Kris and Maria Chand, of Blue Heron Organic Farm, through a Young Agrarians' land-linking workshop. Kris and Maria were interested in leasing out extra land, and Seann was looking to lease some farmland on Vancouver Island to get it into production. Kris and Maria are certified organic farmers, who were interested in leasing land to someone else who shared similar values and would manage the land in the same fashion.
The B.C. Land Matching Program is delivered by Young Agrarians, a program of the FarmFolk CityFolk Society, with a $300,000 investment from the Government of B.C., and also draws support from municipal and regional partners, such as the Columbia Basin Trust, Cowichan Valley Regional District, Metro Vancouver, Township of Langley, City of Surrey and the Bullitt Foundation, with in-kind support provided by Cowichan Green Community.
Grow BC is a mandate commitment of the Ministry of Agriculture that supports young farmers and food producers who are looking for a career in B.C. agriculture. Grow BC also addresses major challenges for new farmers, such as gaining access to land in regions around the province.
The B.C. Land Matching Program is part of the Province’s larger New Entrant Strategy, a framework for increasing the number of new and young farmers working in B.C.’s agriculture sector.Quick Facts:
In 2016, the average farmer was 55 years of age, while farmers under the age of 35 represented 9.1% of total farmers, up slightly from 8.2% in 2011.
66% of farmers plan to retire in the next 10 years, but only one in 12 farm operators in Canada have succession plans.
Even though family farmers continue to get older, only one in 12 operators reported having a formal succession plan laying out how the operation will be transferred to the next generation of farmers. Corporations (mostly family corporations) are more likely to have succession plans (16.3%) than sole proprietorships (4.9%).

CFIB Municipal Spending Report 2018 (11th Edition)
Last Tuesday, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business or CFIB put out its' annual "BC Municipal Spending Watch" Report. 2018 will be its' 11th edition
When the CFIB publishes this report each year - it is criticized by local government elected officials for lacking full perspective and this year will be no different
Meanwhile - the CFIB says that 100 Mile House had the best performance to date while Wells had the worst performance
A full synopsis of the report can be viewed here while the full report can be viewed here
While there may be some that will use this report during local elections next month in urban BC, I don't expect that this report will have any meaningful impact on local elections in the Cariboo-Chilcotin on October 20th...
