From: Amelia Bowden, Planner 1
Date: June 13, 2019
Subject: Digitization of Tax and Collector Rolls Work Overview
The Clerks Department has secured $7,500 to digitize the City’s oldest tax and collector rolls
and store them off-site at BC Records, to be matched by the City with support from CHC.
Funds cover:
o City staff time to locate and bundle records
o BC Records Management contract to digitize all records
o BC Records Management contract to store paper records at their facility until 2020
Funds do not cover any restoration work that may come up. This would need to be done by a
separate contractor.
Work Overview
The City’s earliest records start at 1875 and are currently stored in the Randy Herman
Building in chronological order.
Starting with the 19th Century records, these will be picked up by BC Records Management
(http://www.bcrms.com/).
BC Records Management will digitize the records in the following manner:
All information scanned will be in 300 DPI with 24 bit colour where required. Black/white
and greyscale scanning will be utilized for true black text only, thus providing the cleanest
and most accurate image possibly captured. BC Records will utilize Spyder5 software
which calibrates the monitor to an industry colour reference standard to ensure on-screen
colours are accurate, grays and whites are consistent, shadow and highlight details are
protected, and skin tones are true to life. With guaranteed colour accuracy, with the
industry’s only patented 7-detector optical engine, making photo/colour editing easier and
providing overall better print matching. Documents are inspected during the preparation
stage to determine the best scanning practice and level of fragility. All documents
considered ‘fragile’ will be scanned using flat bed scanning to protect original documents
and greatly reduce the chance of damage during the digitization process. Colour balance,
contrast and brightness settings will be evaluated for each document prior to scanning
and inspected immediately afterwards. Kodak Capture Pro software and Scan Mana ge
Pro software will be used to process and evaluate the scanned images. Master digital
files will be stored in TIFF format and indexed in chronological order according to the City
of Maple Ridge’s instructions. No information will be compressed without authorization.
Post-scan optimization will be used. All digitized images will be captured in TIFF and PDF
MAPLE RIDGE
British Columbia
2
versions. During the export of PDF images, the Kodak Capture Pro software (utilizing
Nuance OCR software) will OCR each image scanned. At this time, all optimization and
OCR services will be reviewed by the Project Manager to ensure completion.
BC Records Management will use the following scanning equipment:
o Three Kodak i1440 Document Scanner
o Kodak i2600 Document Scanner
o Fujitsu Fi-6670A Document Scanner
o Graphtec IS210 Large Format Scanner
o Graphtec IS200 Large Format Scanner
o Graphtec 450i 44’’ Large Format Scanner
BC Records Management will use the following quality control measures:
All scanned documents are quality controlled at the point of capture to facilitate rapid and
reliable rescanning as required. A significant advantage in using this method is that the
scanned image can be readily compared to the original.
BC Records utilizes a manual page count to ensure the initial page count coinc ides with
the scanned image count. Page counter sheets are placed within each folder to recheck
that the number of pages is scanned correctly. Double sheets/page detection is also
utilized to ensure no pages are missed during this process. Maximum image quality is
obtained using Kodak Perfect Page technology.
A second quality control process is performed during the classification of documents, also
known as cataloguing. Each time a document is catalogued, the electronic image appears
on the scanning operator’s monitor to ensure the document has been properly converted.
During the final inspection of work, the Scanning Manager reviews all catalogues with
additional quality checks on each BC Records employee who performed service to the
City’s documents.
A final review of the documents will be inspected for skewing, proper rotation, folded
edges and feed issues. These are then corrected and in the event any document requires
rescanning, it will be performed immediately. Each and every project taken on by BC
Records is reviewed by the Scanning Manager and discussed with our scanning
operations team during our weekly operations meeting. A procedural guideline is also
created by the Scanning Manager to review each step of the customer’s requirements.
This procedure manual will be provided to the City for review and authorization prior to the
start of the project. A progress report will always accompany each project and identifies
who did what duty at each stage. These reports are reviewed by management and may be
provided to the City upon request.
A standard metadata scheme will be used to describe the digitized records, using the City’s
document management system, Laserfiche (document type and document description)
3
In addition to the metadata, a comprehensive index will be available which will assist in
locating properties of interest. Also, each digital roll will be OCRed, where possible, to allow
key word searching.
Laserfiche will be the digital asset management system/repository to make materials freely
available online.
Laserfiche has a web portal tool which links documents in the City’s record repository with
our Open Government web portal (http://opengov.mapleridge.ca/) through the WebLink
repository.
The City’s O0pen Government web portal, which links directly to our EDRMS system allows
researchers to search for documents.
Digital preservation plan:
o Laserfiche is a complete solution derived from robust and proven software
developed for organizations large and small that have made Laserfiche
the acknowledged leader in network based Electronic Document
management. Documents in Laserfiche are secure, compliant, and easily
retrievable. All files are preserved and stored locally within the City of
Maple Ridge’s environment on Canadian soil.
o Laserfiche is a DoD 5015.2 certified records management and VERS
certified electronic records solution which provides records management
policies across all devices, including mobile phones, tablets, laptops and
desktop computers.
o The solution is in compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, USA PATRIOT
Act, SEC, FINRA and other regulations.
In December, the CHC passed the following resolution:
That That $6,000.00 in the Digitization budget be allocated to the City’s Bylaws and Tax
Collector Rolls digitization project should the City be successful in one or more of the BC
History Digitization Program Grant applications; and
That the Community Heritage Commission submit an incremental package to Council in
2019 for a minimum of $6000.00 to be used for the inventory of these Maple Ridge Historic
Municipal records.
As the full grant funding has not been received, it is appropriate for CHC to reconsider the level of
financial support for this project.

Information Report
Heritage BC's 38 th Conference
Nanaimo, BC
May 9-11, 2019
A large number of participants (150) registered for the annual conference of Heritage
BC. With a broad program encompassing knowledgable presenters, special policy
sessions, field trips, the awards event and HBC's AGM the conference goers were fully
engaged . As always the evening of Heritage SLAM provided a colourful overview of
various initatives in many communities.
The 2019 Conference highlighted the work undertaken during the past year by
Heritage BC and supported by the Heritage Branch to review BC's heritage sector. This
work was pursued through 26 roundtable meetings in all regions in the province.
A copy of the text presented at the AGM concerning the review process and what
was learned is provided in this report. Three of the points that stood out were :
~ A great number of people came together (at the Round Tables) under the
banner of heritage, yet they describe isolation and siloism . Capacities of
knowledge expertise, and human and financial resources are urgently needed.
Much has been done in isolation to improve education and access, however, the
lessons learned and the best practices are unknown.
~ Legislation needs to be modernized to align to new heritage values, and the
sector needs support in its interpretation and implementation.
~ The heritage sector sees real potential in acknowledging and recognizing
Indigenous peoples, but leadership and capacity building needs to be
addressed.
Having the special session about the review of the heritage sector providied the
opportunity for Richard Linzey the Director of the Heritage Branch and his staff to
address matters at the provincial level. This included notification that $500,000
additional funding had recently been placed by the Province in the Heritage Legacy
Fund. As will be noted in the material included in this report is the 2018 list of grants
from the Legacy Fund. The provincial grant to Haney House is on the list.
There are many other topics from the conference that warrant coverage. As the reader
will note by the references on page two of this report there are various documents
that provide information about important sessions and events.
One experience that does stand out for me was the unique approach to a heritage
walk in downtown Nanaimo . The interpretive tour was hosted by two people. One
person was Christine Meutzner the Manager of Nanaimo Community Archives and
the other was Chris Sholbergar the City's heritage planner. The result was a wide
perspective was given to the audience on local history, heritage conservation and
community revitalization planning. The dialogue about Nanaimo's heritage endeavours
made for a very interesting walk .

It was exactly one year ago when Heritage BC initiated the
Provincial Roundtables on Heritage project. We held 26 meetings
that brought together nearly 500 people who told us about the
influences, practices, values and visions of heritage in the context of
community life.
Participants shared their ideas, aspirations and challenges, as
we explored eight themes, including the definition of heritage
and its evolving practice, identity and future opportunities, and
the opportunities of collaboration and the stewardship of the
environment.
The roundtables were always thought-provoking, inspiring,
challenging, and sometimes even surprising. We came .away from
the meetings with a new perspective on heritage and a refreshed
appreciation of BC's heritage workers and their work.
In this morning plenary session, we will explore what we heard,
and we will consider the implications. We then sit down with the
Heritage Branch, and respond to your questions, as we explore the
current state and future potential of our sector.

Collaboration and partnerships have long been buzzwords, but they
never fail to inspire greater vision and achievement. Our colleagues
around the province have told us that working together is the
ideal: bringing people together with values of sharing and listening,
and supporting through dialogue and mutual goals. They have also
told us these are the important steps to greater understanding and
reconciliation . In this workshop, we explore the lessons learned and
successes of inspiring collaborations between museums and the local
Indigenous communities .

Annual Rep01t to the Membership
Annual General Meeting
May 10, 2019
Heritage BC
■ ■
Since we last met in New Westminster for the 2018 conference, Heritage BC has experienced a banner year.
A very important step for Heritage BC has been the adoption of a new mission statement and strategies designed
to s upp01t an evolving sector. This document is also a signa l of Heritage BC's own evolution, transitioning from a
period of disruption to one of stability and improved relevancy and forward thinking .
Our new mission, which is proudly featured on our website:
Heritage BC supports all people of British Co lumbia who cha 1i1pion the preservation and conservation of all
forms of cu ltural heritage. We achieve this by developing awareness, appreciation and respect for B.C. 's built and
intangible traditions.
Considering the newness and importance of the Strategic Priorities , we have sh·uchll'ed this annual report to align
with the four strategic directions.
Building a strong, focused, and impactful organization that is recognized as a guiding leader and supporting
connector for the sector.
There are many ways to measure relevancy and a typical one is membership. We set a goal to increase the
numbers and, with increasing effect goa ls, we are well on the way to achieving that goal. Today our membership
number is edging up to 300, considerably hi gher than it had been in the past few years.
Years ago, Heritage BC faced financial peril and an unce1tain fuhn·e. As rep01ted last year, "the Board of Directors
and staff have been focused on rebuilding the cash position and, as a first priority, establishing a stability fund that
will protect Heritage BC, shou ld the organization be faced with another disruption to its business model." This
resulted in the establishment of the Stability Fund, held with the Vancouver Foundation . With hard work, and a
lean operation, we are proud to again make a contribution to the fund, which will be available to the organization
during lean periods.
Another fund held with the Vancouver Foundation is the Heritage Legacy Fund. As the manager of this provincial
investment, it is our expectation to increase the investment so that it will generate more revenue for grant
dish·ibution. In 2018, we were able to increase the investment with a conh·ibution of more than $120,000 . Today,
the total market value of the Heritage Legacy Fund is around $7M.
Building awareness of the importance and diversity of cultural heritage, so that heritage values are
appreciated by all.
Diversity and access are leading priorities for the sector. We heard this from countless individuals at the provincial
roundtables and this is reflected in our new mission.
This is also a priority of the conference and we continue to explore ways of assisting sector organizations in telling
a richer, more layered story ofBC's history and heritage . To be honest, this is one of our greater challenges, as a
simple road map does not exist, but we are learning from our experiences and li stening to our colleagues.
Of course, diversity and access are not easy for any organization an d so we are developing capacity-building
programs . At this year's conference, we introduc ed Taking Action, specia lly designed to provide leadership,
expertise, and funding as catalysts for organizations to move forward in attaining their goals. Another program is
Heritage BC
Suite 864, 104-1015 Columbia Street, New Westminster, BC V3M 6V3
Heritage BC
the Indigenous Partnership program, part of the suite of Heritage Legacy Fund programs and designed to
encourage collaborative efforts between Indigenous and non-Indigenous organizations.
Accessibility for people with disabilities, a particular issue for historic places, became a new focus for Heritage
BC when Laura Saretsky, our heritage program manager, undertook audits of seven provincially -owned historic
sites. Fii·st initiated by the Heritage Branch; we expanded the project to include a webinar and several
downloadable guidebooks to increase the sector's awareness and capacity in increasing access for all British
Columbians to their sites .
Building collaborations and maximizing capacities of comm unities, local governments, private sector
organizations, and First Nations governments to create a dynamic future for heritage.
Over the past year, with the suppmt of the Heritage Branch, Heritage BC undertook what is undoubtedly the most
extensive review ofBC 's heritage sector: The Provincial Roundtables on the State of Heritage.
This project found its origin in the perception that the heritage sector was evolving. Recognizing the importance of
listening to people in their communities, the project was originally conceived to include 19 roundtables . At its
conclusion, the project had expanded to 26 meetings and a survey that attracted 500 participants.
The Provincial Roundtables on the State of Heritage provided an extraordinaiy oppmtunity that brought people
together to share ideas, situations, challenges, successes, relationships, and aspirations related to heritage and other
disciplin~s such as museums, archives, archaeology, and arts and culture.
The meetings provided immediate benefits of community building, sharing, and learning by simply bringing
people together and providing a forum for conversation. While all the paiticipants shared a common interest, it is
obvious that organizations and disciplines are siloed and oppmtunities to meet and talk are rare.
Each meeting included conversations about the definition and understanding of heritage, vision, values and
identity, collaboration and the evolving practice of heritage, and the sector's relationship to the economy and the
environment.
A year-long study is not needed for us to know the sector faces many challenges, but the value of the project is the
extensive description of the current state of the sector and the twelve recommendations that, when fulfilled, will
have far-reaching impact.
What we learned:
Participants consistently describe heritage in inclusive and expansive terms that focus on social or humanistic
qualities . There is strong agreement that heritage is about human interaction with each other and the
surrounding environment. Yet, the sector itself does not reflect the diversity it espouses.
The understanding and practice of heritage have evolved beyond the services and systems that are in place to
suppmt the sector.
A great number of people came together under the banner of heritage, yet they describe isolation and siloism .
Capacities of knowledge and expertise, and human and financial resources are urgently needed . Much has
been done in isolation to improve education and access, however, the lessons learned and the best practices
are unknown.
Legislation needs to be modernized to align with new heritage values, and the sector needs suppmt in its
interpretation and implementation.
The heritage sector sees real potential in acknowledging and recognizing Indigenous peoples, but leadership,
tools, and capacity building need to be addressed. Heritage needs systemic change to be open to
disenfranchised communities and to empower all communities, so that they can tell their own stories in ways
that they feel are appropriate.

The Provincial Roundtables on the State of Heritage produced several immediate benefits to the heritage
community, including a forum for discourse and a demonstration from the Province of BC that it is willing to
listen.
There is much anticipation for the outcomes of this project, especially from the Indigenous participants who have
long waited to see their interests reflected in the sector.
The partnership with the Columbia Basin Trust is now in its third year and Jennifer Dunkerson, our staff person
located in the Basin Region, is in her second year.
The recipients of the third and final round of the Built Heritage program will soon be announced and, over the
course of the program, $6M will be invested into the conservation of the Basin's built heritage.
Upcoming, we are looking at three special projects for the Basin Region, which will help to build awareness and
increase capacities and recognition. In time, we will analyze the lessons learned and the impacts to develop a
model and case to be presented to other regional gove1m11ents and jurisdictions.
Building the capacities of a strong and vital sector through exceptional service and comprehensive learning.
We continue to prioritize Heritage Week as a way to increase awareness and appreciation of heritage throughout
the province. This year we mailed over 1,000 posters and contacted 100 local governments with a request to
proclaim Heritage Week. We also supported activities through our social media channels and provided
complimentary access to 8 recorded webinars .
More and more, our advocacy effmis are proactive with a focus on sharing statistical evidence and success stories .
We distiibute statistical information that is relevant, sometimes creating graphic interpretations for
understandability, and share the sector's success stories. We communicate directly with MPs and MLAs, and in
October we met with Minister Donaldson to discuss the early findings of the State of Heritage project.
Perhaps the most impmiant advocacy tool is the Watch List that was introduced in 2018 and created to stimulate
awareness and conversation, foster protection and engagement, and encourage advocacy for improved
stewardship . While the Watch List features specific heritage buildings, the real purpose is to feature the different
categories of the built environment that are regularly under threat: Institutional Heritage, Post War, Modern or
Twentieth Century Heritage, Industrial Heritage, Schools, Churches, and Vernacular Heritage .
The Heritage Legacy Fund is a flagship program that has grown from $75,000 To $150,000 in disbursements in
the past four years. In that time, we expanded the program to include funding for planning and Indigenous
paiinerships. Going forward, we will continue to evaluate the program based on what we learned in the State of
Heritage project.

Subject: RE: 2019 Heritage Award - Heritage Landscape
I want to thank you again for honoring our 3 Thornhill Trails with your Heritage Award. I have a
question about the Heritage Plaque Program. Is it possible to apply for signs for each of our trails?
How would I begin the application process? As part of the Haney Horsemen Association, we are very
proud of the work that has gone into building and protecting our trail network. We would love to be
able to display and share the Heritage Award designation with our community.
With warm regards, Eunice
