MEETING DECORUM
Council would like to remind all people present tonight that serious issues are decided at
Council meetings which affect many people's lives. Therefore, we ask that you act with

Dear Mayor and Council:
February 18 to 24, 2002 is Heritage Week in British Columbia. This year the spotlight is
on "Heritage that Works - BC's Industrial Heritage" to celebrate the many industrial
activities that have influenced British Columbia's history and development, including
forestry, mining, fishing, shipbuilding, manufacturing and energy production.
As Minister of Community, Aboriginal and Women's Services, I invite you and your
Council Members to recognize our vast and unique industrial heritage, and support it
through local heritage initiatives. Enclosed is a copy of the provincial proclamation,
which you may wish to post during Heritage Week.
Heritage Week is an opportunity to pay respect to legacies such as our logging history,
First Nations culture, revitalized buildings and sites in heritage districts, and courageous
early exploration, enterprise and settlement. British Columbia has a rich industrial
heritage we should be proud and eager to share with the millions of people who
annually visit our province.
Numerous events have been planned around the province to celebrate our industrial
heritage, including the presentation of the British Columbia Heritage Award. More
information on heritage celebrations is available at www.heritage.gov.bc.ca/trust and
www.is!andnet.com/-hsbc.
Please join me in encouraging leaders in your community to make Heritage Week 2002 a
time to celebrate our history and heritage as a contribution to building a better
British Columbia.
Yours truly,
-2zz 7-

Subject: SUPPORT TO HAULT CLOSURE OF ALLCO FISH HATCHERY
Due to the cutbacks announced on January 17, the Alouette River Correctional Centre is slated for closure. This will
seriously jeopardize the operation of the Ailco Hatchery, which is located adjacent to the Alouette River Management
Society and the Rivers Heritage center. ARMS has been informed that the hatchery may cease operations as early as
June of this year and not later than October 2002.
A number of partnerships which currently exist between federal, provincial and municipal governments, BC Hydro and
a number of other organizations in the Lower Mainland will be adversely impacted as a result of this decision. Such
public-private partnerships are being encouraged by the Liberal Government as the future of our province. We feel
that the existing relationship developed over the years between ARMS and the Solicitor General Department should
continue, with Correctional staff and inmates maintaining the hatchery as the transition to a woman's prison unfolds.
The ALLCO hatchery is operated as an inmate work program, run with ARCC Fisheries Officers and imnate labour.
The original fisheries programs at ARCC started in 1979, through funding from federal and provincial governments,
utilizing inmate labour. The ALLCO hatchery rears trout, steelhead and salmon for the Alouette and Brunette
watersheds. The facility is also an important component of our environmental education programs offered to the
community.
The partnership between ARMS and the ARCC fisheries programs has flourished over the years and now includes
Fisheries Instructors and ARMS technicians educating children and adults throughout the Greater Vancouver Regional
District. A day long program teaching students about a variety of topics such as environmental stewardship, fish culture
and forest ecology has evolved since 1999. Currently, two classes each month visit the Rivers Heritage Centre and
ALLCO hatchery to participate in this program. This summer, the program will be included in the Ridge Meadows
Parks and Leisure Kids Day Camp and will also be offered to a number of International Summer Students who took part
in a similar program last summer. Public support of this program has been overwhelming and we can only see it
continuing to grow as it gains recognition throughout the Lower Mainland.
Staff and inmates play a key role in the Ridge Meadows Annual Rivers Day Celebrations at Allco Park assisting with
the organization of the event and by providing resources to showcase the operations of the hatchery facility. The
hatchery also offers the public the opportunity to release coho salmon into local tributaries at the Rivers Day event.

We have attached a draft letter of support in order to lobby our provincial government to keep the hatchery operating by
the Ministry of Public Affairs and Solicitor General. We hope that you recognize the important part that Corrections
plays in the enhancement of our watershed and environmental education of the region by completing the letter of
support and returning it to us by email or flux: 604-467-6478. You may feel that you would like to draft your own letter
of support. You may also contact your local MLA or The Ministry of Solicitor General directly.
For more information on the partnerships between ARMS and Corrections, please visit our website at
www.alouetteriver.org. A form on this letter is posted on this site.
Thank you for your support.

Re: Alico Hatchery Closure - Maple Ridge, BC
email: arms@telus.net
Fax: 604-467-6401
We understand that the partnership that has developed between the Alouette River Correctional
Centre Fish Hatchery and ARMS is in jeopardy due to the closure of the Alouette River
Correctional Centre. This partnership was formed in conjunction with ARMS being registered as
a non-profit Society in 1993 and has continued to grow over the years since that time.
We are writing to request that the decision to close the Ailco Hatchery be reversed due to the
important role it plays in our community. The ARCC hatchery not only has been key to the
restocking of the Alouette and Brunette watersheds, but also plays an intricate role in the
education of youth and adults throughout our community, through structured educational
programs that ARMS and the Correctional staff partner on. The cost effectiveness of the
operation is made possible through the work program offered to inmates who gain positive and
meaningful work ethics while involved in the hatchery program. The hatchery staff and inmates
also play a key role in the success of our community's annual Rivers Day celebrations, stated to
be one of the largest in the Province.
it is our understanding that the hatchery could be kept open as an inmate work program with the
fisheries officers working out of Fraser Regional Correctional Centre transporting inmates to the
hatchery to carry out the related duties. We hope that you will consider this as one of the options
as a means of the provincial government supporting our community.
The new direction and mandate by the Liberal Government was that increased partnerships,
between government and the private sector. This, we have been told, will include the non-profit
organizations, such as ARMS, who have worked hard to build partnerships such as the one with
your Ministry. It would be a step backwards to terminate the partnerships that have been built
over the years to build within our community.

Dear Mayor Hogarth;
AVIATION IN BRITISH COLUMBIA NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT! Please send a letter
or memo to Minister Collenette and Minister Martin re the $24.00 security surcharge
about to be introduced. The small coastal air operators and those who serve the northern
communities in this province will lose their customers with the introduction of the fee.
These additional charges will divert passengers to the ferry system in coastal
communities. Flying in a Beaver Aircraft from Nanaimo Harbour to Vancouver Harbour
caters to the low risk passenger. Those who live in northern communities will not fly.
The members of the British Columbia Aviation Council would like some assurances that
these fees will only be assessed on International, cross-border and travel across Canada.
All the small air carriers seek your support to exempt them from the new fee. Many of
the Mayors haveahead sent letters and we thank you for your support.
Yours thiI. n I n

SUBJECT: First Reading
Bylaw No. 6011-2002
20540 LORNE AVE
PURPOSE:
DATE: January 15, 2002
FILE NO: RZ/071/01
ATTN: C of W - PW & Dev
Property located at 20540 Lorne Ave. is the subject of an application to rezone from C-3 (Town Centre
Commercial) to RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential). There is a house and a detached garage on the
property. The owner wishes to renovate the house. However the C-3 zone does not permit a single family
use. Accordingly this application requests the RS-1 zone to permit the renovations to proceed.
The above described buildings do not conform to the exterior side yard setback requirements prescribed
for the RS- I zone. Accordingly authorization of a Development Variance Permit is also requested.
RECOMMENDATION:
That Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6011-2002 be given First Reading and be
forwarded to Public Hearing;
That the Municipal Clerk be authorized to notify qualifying property owners that approval of
DVP/71/01 respecting the property located at 20540 Lorne Avenue will be considered by Council
at the April 9, 2002 meeting; and
That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6011-2002 be referred to the Community Heritage Commission
for review and comment prior to granting second reading of Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6011-
2002.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
This development proposal requests the rezoning of the subject property from C-3 (Town Centre
Commercial) to RS- I (One Family Urban Residential) to permit renovations to the existing house. The
C-3 (Town Centre Commercial) zone does not permit a single family use. Accordingly the zone
amendment must be completed prior to issuance of a building permit.
PLANNING ANALYSIS:
The C-3 (Town Centre Commercial) zone in this area of Hammond was applied in order to encourage
commercial development. However, as much of the existing land use is single-family residential, this
situation has resulted in legal non-conforming status for much of the neighbourhood. This has created
problems for individuals in respect to financing and/or house insurance. In recognition of this, the Short
Term Residential Long Term Apartment (STRLTA) Official Community Plan designation was intended to
support those individuals wanting to rezone from C-3 (Town Centre Commercial) to a single-family
residential designation thus negating the non-conforming status by bringing the land use into conformity
with the zone.
The other function of the Official Community Plan designation is to provide direction in respect to
accommodating residential densification in this area of Hammond.
Official Community Plan:
The subject property is currently designated "Short Term Residential Long Term Apartment ('STRLTA)" on
Schedule "B" of the Official Community Plan (OCP). This designation anticipates continuation of the
existing single family use of the area with a transition to higher density residential use in the future.
Heritage Issues:
The property, known as the Renstrom Residence (1929), is included in the Heritage Resources of Maple
Ridge, the District's heritage inventory. In 1998, Council adopted the District of Maple Ridge Heritage
Management Plan that was established to provide a framework to better manage situations involving
potential heritage sites. The staff report which accompanied the Heritage Management Plan noted that
applications for rezoning, development permit or development variance permit involving heritage properties
should be referred by Council resolution to the Heritage Advisory Committee (since reconstituted as the
Community Heritage Commission).
Given the inclusion of the Renstrom Residence in the District's heritage inventory, it is recommended that
the application be referred to the Community Heritage Commission for comment prior to granting second
reading to the zone amending bylaw. Such a referral is also consistent with the District's processing of
similar applications in the past.
Development Variance Permit:
The existing buildings are sited closer to Waresley St. than the RS-1 zone permits as illustrated in the
following table:
Building 'type Required Setback Actual Setback Difference
House 4.5 in 2.47 in 2.03 in
Garage 3.0 m 0.54 m 2.46 in
In an effort to streamline the development application process, notice of the Development Variance Permit
will occur in tandem with the Public Hearing notification for this application. Following the adoption of the
Zone Amending Bylaw Council will be asked to pass a resolution approving the Development Variance
Permit to reduce the setback of the home by 2.03 metres and the garage by 2.46 metres.

parking stalls. On the wide shoulder in front of the school
there's room for approximately 20 vehicles, plus dozens
more all the way along 256th Street. We will also get
approval to park at the businesses on the north side of
Dewdney that are closed Sunday, at Samo Hall, and in the
private lot on the southeast corner of 256 and Dewdney
(same as last year).
Safety: Teams of volunteers will assist with race day organization,
act as route markers, and direct runners along roadways as
needed to ensure a safe race.
The Vistas Run has gone very smoothly in previous years, largely due to the number and
calibre of our volunteers. We anticipate our run this year to be better than ever!

been reflected in the numbers above
Lease - Full year impact of wide area network radios results in a S 100,000 unfavourable variance. In addition, the cost of
committee room 6, for $15,000, has been eliminated, and $85,000 added for the Annex.
Other Outside Services -2001 included a startup date of April 1st at $500,000 per year. 2002 has been adjusted for a March 1st

Additional Support
1 of 1
Municipal Council was unable to approve any incremental requests in the 2002 - 2006 Financial Plan.
On the recommendation of the CMT, Municipal Council indicated that additional support to the RCMP
would be viewed as a priority, as financial conditions improved.
One of the key variables in our Financial Plan is Real Growth - money from an expansion of the tax base.
The Plan was based on 1.5% Real Growth. Based on recent information received from the B.C.
Assessment Authority, it appears that Real Growth will be closer to 2%. This amounts to additional
ongoing revenue of $130,000 per year.
Based on the incremental requests that were received, and in light of the changes that may be forthcoming
as a result of the B.C. Policing Study, we recommend that the following be given favourable
consideration when the 2002 —2006 Financial Plan is reviewed at the end of March 2002.
Clerical Support in Records - Staff— One FTE $35,000
Protective Services Reserve 50,000

Capital Funding
2 of 3
Major municipal service areas such as Fire, Public Works, and Parks & Leisure Services have long range
capital funding programs in place to meet future capital acquisition and replacement needs. The RCMP is
our biggest cost centre and does not have a similar program.
Recommendation (s':
That Council:
Establish an RCMP Capital Reserve account and
Annually allocate ¼% of General Revenue Taxation (cumulative) in each of the next 5 years to it.
Background:
Police Services is and will continue to be a growth area. With growth will come the need for additional
capital investment. Our existing 5 year Financial Plan does not provide for this. As well, we already
have a considerable investment in RCMP assets, which include the building, furnishings and equipment.
We have not been setting aside funds to provide for the replacement and/or renewal of these assets.
The seriousness of this can be seen by looking at our RCMP building which would cost in the range of $8
to $10 million to replace. This is not to suggest that a new building is required in the near future. Instead,
our intent is to point out that our replacement cost for this one asset is nearly the same as our initial
investment into the downtown core project and our current financial model does not have the ability nor a
plan to fund it.
Financial Implications:
One quarter percent of general revenue equates to approximately $65,000. If we contribute this amount
annually and cumulatively, after 5 years, we will be making an annual contribution of $325,000 to the
reserve. In addition, the reserve would have a balance of nearly $1 million, if withdrawals are not made.
It should be noted that this recommendation implies a tax increase of ¼% over the 4% that Council has
already authorized.
Alternatives:
We can continue our existing policy and deal with expenditures as they arise. While those
expenditures are some years away, they will require a significant capital outlay at that time. This
option was not recommended as our reserves are not as healthy as they used to be because of the
siificant investments we have made in recent years. -
RCMP Page 14
Council may elect to reduce the operating budget of the RCMP and or other service areas in order
to provide for this contribution.
This was not recommended because of the workload pressures being experienced in the service
areas, notably the RCMP. Having said this, Council may wish to reduce service levels and if we
do this, it may indeed free up funding. If Council is considering a service level reduction, that
should be looked at corporately and at the time that the business plans are reviewed.
Council may want to transfer funds from the existing capital program to this initiative. This was
not recommended because our existing capital program is not adequately funded.
We could target the proceeds from specific land sales to go into this reserve. We did not
recommend this because most of the lands that we own are some time away from their highest
and best use. Further, our recent experience has shown that land sales are hard to predict. As
well, land sales cannot be relied on as a permanent source of funding whereas the need that has
been identified is expected to be ongoing.
Su mmarv:
We have some time before we have to provide for major expenditures for RCMP capital assets. This
recommendation allows Council to make graduated changes to its financial plan so that it can be prepared
for these outlays.
It should be noted that we currently contribute 2% of General Revenue taxation to a Fire Department
capital reserve and an additional 1% to a Fire Department Equipment Replacement reserve account.

Records Clerk
3 of 3
This full-time position will data entry file information into the CIIDS computer system, code files with
appropriate OSR scoring, modify PIRS computer system entries, as well as Records maintenance clerical
duties such as filing, and file maintenance.
In summer of 2001, the Detachment underwent a detailed audit performed by the RCMP "E" Division
Audit Team of approximately 5 individuals. The report clearly showed that the Records Section is
understaffed and not keeping the Records maintenance function up to RCMP standards. There are too
many errors, and volume of work is unmanageable (App. 3).
In fall, 2001, a review of other detachment's records processes was done in an effort to identify and
implement as much efficiency as possible. The outcome of review shows that volume is the issue of
concern in this Section.
Functions PerformedfDeree of Service:

Mr. Al Hogarth
Mayor,
Corporation of the District of Maple Ridge
Maple Ridge, B.C.
Dear Al:
JAN 2 3 2002
It has come to my attention that the RCMP wishes to establish a Community Policing office in the
shopping centre where I operate my business (Meadow Ridge Centre). Further, it is my understanding
that my landlord has generously offered the space, rent-free, for the first year of operation. Such an
office would be most beneficial to the community, especially in the west side of Maple Ridge, as a
crime prevention and education centre for the tax-paying public. There is no other Community Polidng
office that I am aware of, except in Pitt Meadows.
The problem I am having is that a number of your coundllors appear to be balking at the idea in the
name of cost containment. Yes, the program obviously has a cost component, but that cost wilF be
more than offset in the enhanced visibility of the RCMP, law enforcement and crime prevention, as it
relates to the level of property crime in Maple Ridge, which is a tremendous cost to the business and
property owners (i.e. taxpayers) of Maple Ridge.
I encourage you and your council to endorse and implement this initiative in the coming year as a cost-
effective initiative for the benefit of ALL of the taxpayers of Maple Ridge.
Yours truly,
Kenneth G. Ringrose

Al Hogarth Dear Mayor Hogarth:
MarvIn Hunt I am writing to request the assistance of you and your council to pass a resolution in
Jon Klngsburj support of our effort to have the Provincial Government maintain its bus pass program for
Don MacLean low-income seniors.
Gordon PrIce As you know, the Province is attempting to reduce the cost of government. While it is
George Pull generally believed that this is a positive direction, the specific decision to cancel the
Ron Wood seniors bus pass program will create undue hardship for nearly 25,000 people who rely
on low-cost access to the transit system within the GVRD. These people are dependent
on public transit to do their shopping, get to medical appointments and participate in
CEO community and social events, all of which add inuneasurably to their quality of life.
Pat Jacobsen
Currently, low-income seniors pay $45 for a year's pass. Without the provincial subsidy
their cost would be $40 per month, or $480 per year.
The impact on our regional transportation system would also be significant. You will
recall that TransLink went through an extremely lengthy and difficult process to obtain
an additional $80 million in revenue per year to stabilize road and transit services. This
decision will mean the loss of $12 million in annual revenue beginning in 2003, making it
extremely difficult for us to proceed with even modest system improvements.
The government has been made aware of these issues and we have had productive
discussions with them. However, the help of your council in passing a resolution calling
for the seniors bus pass program to be continued would be valuable and timely.
Yours truly,
Doug McCallum

SUBJECT: SPCA Statistics
PurposefProblem:
The Executive Assistant to the General Manager: Corporate & Financial Services has been tracking the
statistics supplied by the SPCA since 1992. Two reports are attached comparing the number of dogs and
cats handled against the percentage euthanised.
Recommendation(s):
That the attached SPCA dog and cat statistical reports be received for information.
History/Background:
SPCA statistics have been kept since 1992 on the number of dogs and cats handled, claimed, adopted,
euthanized, transferred, stolen, euthanized at the owner's request, and found dead on arrival. The complete
statistics are found on our website at http://www.maplendge.org/communitv/spcalyour pet.htm]. We
have achieved the lowest level of cat euthanasia in 10 years. Dog euthanasia has experienced a sharp
increase, due to a new method of reporting for 2001. In the past this was not being properly captured.
Upon speaking to the Vancouver Regional SPCA office it has been determined that we maintain some of
the lowest levels of euthanasia in the lower mainland. We are unable to support this with statistics as each
municipality owns their statistics and the SPCA is unable to release them to other municipalities.

Maple Ridge Court House
Financial Impact of Court House Closure
Executive Summary
The Maple Ridge Court House is scheduled to close June 1" 2002. The decision is defended on the basis
of financial savings, that is, the court house closure is expected to avoid the following costs:
$410,000 in one time renovation costs.
$5 90.000 in annual salary and benefit costs.
$520.000 in annual rent payable to BCBC.
$90.000 in annual operating costs.
The annual savings are estimated at $1.2 million in the analysis that the Province has relied upon. Our
review indicates that the actual savings will be much less - closer to $275,000. Further, these savings do
not take into account the added costs to other agencies supported by the Province. These costs are
projected to be at least $40,000. As well, there will be downloading to the municipality (additional
policing costs & guarding costs) which is something that the Provincial government has committed not to
do. Those costs will approach $90,000.
Our analysis suggests that the business case for the closure of the Maple Ridge Court House is weak.
Further, the community impacts will be significant so we respectfully ask that the decision to close the
court house be reversed.
Analysis of Data from the Province.
We have reviewed the data from the Province and have also done our own research. This research
included a review of how operations will be conducted, once the move to Port Coquitlam is made. Our
comments on the projected cost savings follow:
$410,000 renovation costs
These costs are for the renovation of space previously occupied by the Community Policing Team of the
RCMP. The costs can be avoided by simply not renovating the space.
$590,000 in annual salary & benefit costs
The savings projected by the Province are based on 12 positions that have been cut from the Attorney
General's budget. While this is the case from a budgetary perspective, there are a number of positions in
Port Coquitlam that are currently vacant. If our workload is transferred to Port Coquitlam, many of these
vacant positions that are not needed at the present time will have to be filled.
4
Analysis of Data from the Province (Cont'd.)
After taking into account the vacant positions that will need to be filled, the cost reductions total
$275,000, details of which follow:
2 Crown Council support staff@ $40,000 $ 80,000
1.5 crowns $80,000 $120,000
Crown Victim Services $ 75.000
Total $275,000
$520,000 in annual rent payable to BCBC
This is simply a transfer between government agencies and does not represent a net cost.
$90,000 in annual operating costs
It is important to note that the court house building will still be occupied by Probation Services. This
means that heat, light, etc. will still be required. Further, many of the operating expenses are consumables
and will be costs required in Port Coquitlam.
If Probation Services are relocated, there will be added operating costs at the new site. If relocation
occurs and the building is vacant, there will still be ongoing costs such as heat and security. We are of the
view that the true operating cost savings are marginal if they exist at all.
It is interesting to note that we are now being told that annual savings from the court house closure will
total $1.2 million. When the matter of the closure came up in 1997, we were told that the closure would
save $400,000. Suffice to say we have little confidence in these numbers. In any event, our analysis
suggests that the annual savings will be in the order of $275,000 and not $1.2 million. Further, the
savings do not include the additional costs that other agencies of the Province will incur.
Additional Costs to the Province
Probation Costs
Probation Services are to remain at the court house in order to be close to the people that they serve. This
means that they will have to commute to Port Coquitlam. It is estimated that they will have to travel to
Port Coquitlam at least once each day. Using a 5 day work week for say 50 weeks out of the year, this
loss in productive time will exceed $6,000.
Social Worker Costs
In a typical month (we used data from October & November, 2001), there are 25 court appearances under
CFCS by 9 different Social Workers. These appearances include first reports and applications for
extensions but do not include trials. Each of these appearances will require an additional hour for
commuting. 25 hours per month at the rate of $35/hr will amount to $10,500 in additional costs to the
Province -- - - -
3. Witness Costs
In an average week, the Province provides cab fare for 10 \vitnesses to attend the Maple Ridge Court
house. Most of these cab fares are small as they originate from within a few mile radius of the court
house. Cab fare from Maple Ridge to Port Coquitlam is in the range of $22 to $25 one way. This means
that in a typical year, the Province can be expected to pay an additional $22,000 in transportation costs for
witnesses. Further, the commute will result in witnesses being out of town for at least an hour. In all
likelihood, they will be eligible for meal money which is $9 for breakfast: $10.75 for lunch and S 19.75
for dinner. If half of the witnesses that receive commuting assistance are eligible for lunch only, the
Province will pay an additional $2,500 per year.
In summary, the commute to Port Coquitlam will increase witness costs by at least $24,500 per year.
It should also be noted that in an average month, there are 3 occasions per month where a witness does
not appear when needed but his whereabouts are known. In those cases, a police officer will pick up the
witness and escort him to court. If they now have to provide the escort to Port Coquitlam, it will take
additional time. Further, the judge may choose not to wait the additional time and may delay the trial.
These sorts of costs while significant have not been quantified.
Additional Costs to the Municipality
1. Additional RCMP Costs
For the month of March, 2002, 58 police officers are scheduled to attend court. About half of this time is
during regular duty; the other half is on days off.
Our current practice is for these officers to work at the police station until their attendance is requested.
The police officers will not be able to do this if the court is moved to Port Coquitlam. Further, at least I
hour will be required for travel.
When the officers attend the Maple Ridge Court House during regular duty, we operate on the
understanding that they are available for service, if needed. We have to call them into service about 20%
of the time. If they are in Port Coquitlam, they will not be available for service.
If we have to call in police officers to provide coverage 20% of the time, they will be paid the overtime
rate of $60 for a minimum of 4 hours. This will cost the municipality an additional $17,000.
With respect to officers attending court when they are off regular duty, they get overtime pay but would
be paid overtime for at least an additional hour for travel. This will cost the municipality S20.000 per
year. This does not include the fact that productive time will be spent waiting in the court house when it
could be spent doing work at the detachment.
Incidental costs such as mileage and meal allowances are estimated at $10,000.
In summary, the hard costs to the municipality will be at least $47,000, exclusive of the loss in
productivity.
Additional Costs to the Municipality (cont'd.)
2. Guarding Costs
The cell block in the court house was expanded when the court house was opened, with the intent that the
facility was to be used in partnership with the Province for Provincial Prisoners. The total cost for
operating the cell block is $120,000 per annum, of which the Province pays about 35%. If the Provincial
prisoners are now handled in Port Coquitlam, the Municipality will lose about $42,000 as its costs of
operating the cell block are fixed.
Criminal Justice Branch
In the information received from the Province, there was a note indicating that the Criminal Justice
Branch will be eliminated and this will save $420,000 per year, above and beyond the $1.2 million. It
should be noted that this decision is separate from the court house closure. These savings can be achieved
without closing the court house.

Message from
the President
It has been an honour to
be your president and
Chief Barker this past year
- an honour that I don't
take lightly, for ours is
vital work - ours is the
"job of a lifetime."
I say this because working
in the service of children -
working to make life better for our children - is an
ongoing proposition. No matter how much money we
raise, no matter how much we do for the children of
British Columbia - the needs of children, their families,
and children's organizations are growing and will con-
tinue to grow as the population grows and as social,
medical, and financial resources are stretched to the
maximum. This is why we are continually soliciting new
sponsorships, new fundraisers, and new volunteers.
We need to build our partnerships. And make stronger
the partnerships already in place.
This past year saw more evidence that the new format
of the ShOW of HeartS Telethon has -us mVirig in the
right direction. I hope you will be watching the 36th
annual Show of Hearts telethon on February 16th and
17th. Once again, a dedicated committee has been
working hard to bring you an incredible show full of
special presentations and surprises in order to raise the
money required for BC's special kids.
Fundraising for the year was up, thanks to a rejuve-
nated special events department, a focused
planned giving department, and our quarterly
direct mail initiatives. Our "in-house" fundraisers
such as Gold Heart Day, Cash for Kids, BC Bowls for
Kids (regular and corporate campaigns), Variety
Club Auction & Buy-Low Foods Vintage Variety
Market, and the Million Dollar Lottery also
contributed greatly to our success.
Thank you once again to all who have given of their
time, talent, or treasure to help make life better
for the children of British Columbia. I look forward to
continuing to work with you throughout 2002.
Sincerely,

Variety's Kids
This year's Show of Hearts will introduce you to new
children as well as provide you with updates regard-
ing last year's children. We will once again feature
in-depth vignettes about very special children who
have been helped by the Variety Club. You will
laugh with them, cry with them and celebrate their
courage and aspirations.
Jeneece is 7 years old and has Neurofibromatosis Type
1. Her condition is very rare, and involves deterioration
of mobility as well as collapse of discs and vertebrae in
her spine. Variety Club has assisted Jeneece for many
years with a body brace, drug therapy, therapeutic
swimming, travel and medical expenses.
Grace is 5 years old and has Arthrogryposis Multiplex
Congenita. On a scale of 1-10 in severity, Grace is
probably about at a 9 for this condition. It is a neuro-
muscular condition that affects the muscles, joints and
nerves. With this condition, Grace is without muscle
tissue. Grace's mom describes her as 'gust the happiest
child... and so bright!" Variety provided the family with
funding for an elevator lift in their home. This is a great
community story - together the community raised
enough money for the family to purchase a van, and
to get the family to Detroit to see a specialist. Grace's
dad is a "home grown" Fernie boy who works in the
mine and her mom home schools the 4 children in the
family.
Katelyn is 11 years old, and was diagnosed with
scoliosis 3 1/2 years ago, when she slipped and hit
her head in the tub. She has had 3 operations to
remove a tumor on her spine, she has had pins &
plates implanted in her spine, and spinal fusion.
Variety Club has helped the family out with incidentals
while visiting Vancouver for treatment, as well Variety
Club provided Katelyn with a body brace that she
needed to wear after one of the surgeries.
Shayne is 9 years old and in Grade 4. He has seizures
about every 3 weeks. Shayne was born with a heart
defect and during surgery to repair it, a blood clot in
the brain caused brain damage and resulted in his
seizure condition. Variety Club has provided many
things for Shayne including: a high chair, computer
and most recently a Seizure Dog. The dog is a golden
lab and it alerts Shayne's parents if Shayne is about to
have a seizure. The dog protects Shayne and also helps
him get dressed, brings him his blanket, and many
other things.
Jordan has cerebral palsy. He has been learning just
recently to walk in his starwalker. He loves music and
wants to some day be able to march in the pipe band
that his parents are in.
We will provide updates on Taylor, Jordan, Natasha and
Damien. All are children that participated in last years
Show of Hearts Telethon.

projects throughout British Columbia.
A special thanks to Barbara Stewart, Chair of the Gold
Heart Campaign. Once again we couldn't have done it
without her.
Giving is a necessity
sometimes... more urgent,
indeed, than having.

Mi/re McCardell Memoir to
Support Variety Club Programs
Global Television's Mike McCardell is at the centre of a
major new sponsorship program in support of children
with special needs. Through February 28, 2002, partial
proceeds from all sales of McCardell's bestselling
memoir, Chasing the Story God (Harbour, $32.95), will
be donated to the Variety Club of BC.
Global Television and
McCardell's publisher, Harbour
Publishing, have joined forces
to support the fundraising
drive. Special public service
announcements will air on
Global's news broadcasts
through the month of
November, and Global and
Harbour will co-operate on a
range of additional fund-
raising promotions.
The Variety Club funds capital
projects for hospitals and development centres,
supports essential medical services, subsidizes the
purchase of specialized equipment for independent
living and provides support for children and families.
Since its inception in 1965, the Variety Club of BC has
raised over $90 million to help children with special
needs. Executive Director Jon Stettner notes, "With
extensive waiting lists, the current climate of fiscal
restraint and higher costs of living, many of BC's
children have fallen through the cracks. Fundraising
partners like Mike McCardell help us make a difference
for BC's kids."
Chasing the Story God is a memoir of McCardell's life in
journalism - from his early experiences on the police
beat in New York City to his current position as one of
BC's most celebrated television personalities.
Published in September 2001, Chasing the Story God
has already been on the BC Bestseller list for over three
months, and is available in bookstores throughout
British Columbia.

Variety Club of BC Supports the
Special Care Nursery at Royal
Columbian Hospital
All newborns in the Special Care
Nursery are placed in infant
incubators. "This equipment provides stable climatic
conditions (temperature, oxygen concentration,
humidity), ensuring these tiny patients, some born
after 24 weeks of gestation and weighing less then
one pound, are provided the best care possible", adds
Chung.
This state-of-the-art equipment will significantly
enhance Royal Columbian's ability as the tertiary care
nursery for the Fraser Valley region, to meet the life-
saving and diagnostic needs of its smallest and most
vulnerable patients. Each year over 1,300 children and
their families will be helped by the medical equipment
provided by the Variety Club of British Columbia.
The Variety Club of British to'fl' cull Columbia is delighted to
announce a $78,000 gift to
Special Care Nursery Royal Col umbian Hospital. This
generous donation will be used
to purchase two physiological

Annuities: Increase your income for
life and make a charitable gift
You'd like to make a truly generous gift to Variety's
Special Kids but you depend on your investments for
income, and the return can be unpredictable. Also,
those investments have to last as long as you do - and
who knows how long that will be?
Here's good news! With a charitable gift annuity, you
may be able to make your gift and also secure a better
cash flow at the same time - for as long as you live!
1' Receive fixed lifelong payments for yourself or
you and your spouse that are guaranteed not to
change and are largely or entirely tax-free.
I' Potentially receive an immediate charitable
donation receipt for a portion of the annuity
purchase amount depending on your age.
( Your charity receives a significant gift for
immediate or future use.
The Gift that Gives Back
Here's how it works: In exchange for your gift, Variety
Club purchases a life annuity for you from a licensed
insurance company. The amount of your annuity
depends on the general interest rate level, your age
and the size of your contribution but the rate will like-
ly be significantly higher than what you are receiving
from your present investments. Plus the annuity
amount is guaranteed for as long as you live. The
annuity payments will continue as long as you live, no
matter what happens to the economy or interest
rates. If you are married, you may choose a joint and
last survivor annuity that continues as long as either
you or your spouse lives.
The gift annuity brings you a special bonus at tax time.
All or almost all of your annuity payments may be tax-
free. Donors over the age of 72 years will receive all
annuity payments completely tax-free and donors over
age 77 years will also receive a charitable donation
receipt for a portion of the contributed amount that
will result in immediate tax savings.

CORPORATION OF THE DISTRICT OF MAPLE RIDGE
TO: His Worship Mayor A. Hogarth DATE: February 11, 2002
and Members of Council FILE NO:
FROM: Chief Administrative Officer ATTN: €oW C ocftJ c IL
SUBJECT: Update on the Blue Mountain Provincial Forest Resource Strategy
PURPOSE:
This report is to provide Council with an update on the Blue Mountain Provincial Resource Strategy and to
clarify the District's role in the process.
RECOMMENDATION
That the following list of issues be forwarded to Atticus Resource Consulting Ltd. for consideration in
the Blue Mountain Provincial Forest Resource Strategy:
The postponement of any decision by the Ministry of Forests to expand the BCIT Woodlot into
Crown land until the completion of the Blue Mountain Forest Resource Strategy;
The consideration of viewscape preservation, especially from Golden Ears Provincial Park;
The consideration of possible neighborhood conflicts, i.e. parking congestion on local roads
generated by recreation users;
Possible liability if Provincial Forest access is provided through District owned property;
The need to determine the number of residential surface water licenses and consider any possible
impacts of timber harvest and recreation use in the area;
The need for a wildlife use assessment and protection of wildlife corridors;
The need to map and classify the watercourses in the area and delineate watershed boundaries;
The need to complete an enviromnental impact assessment that takes into consideration the wide
range of uses being undertaken in the areas;
Consideration of possible mechanisms for dealing with illegal dumping and vandalism in the area;
The identification of any mining claims in the area; and
Assurance that the Woodlot No. 38 and the BCIT Woodlot will modify their management plans to
reflect the outcomes of the Blue Mountain Resource Strategy.
BACKGROUND:
The Blue Mountain Provincial Forest is 4,385 hectares in size and is located in the north eastern sector of
the community (See Map. 1). It is bound by Alouette Lake to the north, Mission Tree Farm to the east, the
BC1T Woodlot and privately owned land under the jurisdiction of municipality to the south, and District
owned land to the west.
Blue Mountain Provincial Forest Strategy
The Ministry of Forests, the agency responsible for the management of the Blue Mountain Provincial Forest,
in October of 2001 announced that they were conmiitted to developing a Forest Resource Strategy for the
lands identified as Provincial Forest (See Map 1), with the exception of the lands in Woodlot No.38 and the
BCIT Woodlot. The area within the Woodlots are covered by a separate process, the Woodlot Management
Plan process, that establishes how harvesting, road building, and other forest related activities are to be
managed in these areas. The Ministry, however, does recognize the possible impact the Resource Strategy
might have on the management of the Woodlots and expects that licensees may have to modify their
Woodlot Management Plans to reflect the outcomes of the Resource Strategy.
* within the 4, 385 hectares that make up the Blue Mountain Provincial Forest is 21 hectares of privately owned land.
, .
(7
There are a number of competing uses already underway in the Blue Mountain Provincial Forest that are
impacting the forest resource, the environment, the surrounding community, and other users of the forest that
need to be harmonized under the umbrella of a strategy. As the population of the Lower Mainland increases
the demand for, and impact of, outdoor recreation use in the Blue Mountain Provincial Forest is increasing.
The consequence of not having a strategy for the management of this area, to date, has been the restriction of
access.
The Ministry is no longer comfortable with the status quo and has initiated the Blue Mountain Forest
Resource Strategy that will attempt to integrate the economic, ecological, spiritual and recreational values of
the Provincial Forest.
Regulatory Framework
On Crown land, there a number of government agencies responsible for managing use.
- The Ministry of Forests manages for forest use (described in more detail below);
- BC Assets and Lands Corporation manages for non-forest use (ski resorts, telecommunications);
- The Ministry of Energy and Mines manages for energy and mineral resource use (i.e. gravel pits); and
- The Ministry of Transportation and Highways manages for road and highway use.
A Provincial Forest under the Forest Practice Code must be managed and used in a way that is consistent
with one or more of the following:
Timber production, utilization and related purposes;
Forage production and grazing by livestock and wildlife and related purposes;
Recreation, scenery and wilderness purposes;
Water fisheries, wildlife biological diversity and cultural heritage resource purposes; and
Any purpose permitted by or under the regulation (i.e. communication towers, look outs, forestry
camp, etc.).
Within the framework of the uses described in the Forest Practices Code the Ministry is working with
interested stakeholders to develop a forest resource strategy for Blue Mountain.
Strategy Development Process
The steps involved in the development of the strategy are outlined as follows:
Phase 1: Information Collection (To be completed April 2002))
The Ministry of Forests has retained Atticus Resource Consulting Ltd. to facilitate the data collection phase
of the Blue Mountain forest management strategy. The first phase has involved identifying all the
resource/interest groups using, or impacted by, the Provincial Forest and meeting with them to identify their
pattern of use in the area and any issues/concerns they might have with the development of a resource
strategy for the area. A list of user/interest groups identified by the Ministry of Forests for involvement in
the development of the Resource Strategy has been attached for information.
The first meeting of this group was held on January 17, 2001 at the Rivers Heritage Centre. Due to the size
of the group the meeting was divided into two three-hour sessions. The meetings were focused on
introducing the study area, the management framework of the Ministry of Forests, the Resource Strategy
development process, and the role of the various user groups.
All the user groups have been asked to provide the consultant with the following material by February 14th,
2002:
- a description of their Organization;
- the activities they undertake in the Blue Mountain Forest;
- any issues and concerns they have in the area; and
- possible strategies they might have for dealing with those concerns.
The following list of issues have been compiled on behalf of the District for submission to Atticus Resource
Consulting Limited as part of the First Phase of the Forest Resource Strategy:
- the postponement of any decision by the Ministry of Forests to expand the BCIT woodlot into
Crown land until the completion of the Blue Mountain Forest Resource Strategy;
- the need to consider the preservation of viewscapes, especially from Golden Ears Provincial Park;
- the consideration of possible neighborhood conflicts, i.e. parking congestion on local roads
generated by recreation users;
- possible liability if Provincial Forest access is provided through District owned property;
- the need to determine the number of residential surface water licenses and consider any possible
impacts of timber harvest and recreation use in the area;
- the need for a wildlife use assessment and protection of wildlife corridors;
- the need to map and classify watercourses in the area and delineate watershed boundaries;
- The need to complete an environmental impact assessment that takes into consideration the wide
range of uses being undertaken in the areas;
- Consideration of possible mechanisms for dealing with illegal dumping and vandalism in the area;
- The identification of any mining claims in the area; and
- Assurance that the Woodlot No. 38 and the BCIT Woodlot will modify their management plans to
reflect the outcomes of the Blue Mountain Resource Strategy.
The information collected in this phase is to be summarized and presented to the public for further input.
Phase 2: Option identification
Advisory Committee to identify and analyze options for management of the area.
Phase 3: Option recommendation
Advisory Committee to recommend option(s) for the management of the area for the consideration of the
Ministry of Forests Chilliwack Forest District Manager.
Phase 4: Option selection
To be undertaken by the Ministry of Forests.
Phase 5: Strategy implementation
Ministry of Forests has responsibility for managing the area, but tenures or agreements could be developed
based on the recommendations of the Advisory Committee to assist with the implementation of some
portions of the Management Strategy. The outcome of this stage will depend on the suggestions and
recommendations of the Advisory Committee
Phase 6: Monitoring of the Strategy
Implementation of the strategy to be undertaken to determine if future revisions maybe required.
It is estimated that the entire strategy development process will take approximately two years to complete.
District Role in the Process
The municipality has no planning authority over crown land. While the Ministry of Forests does frequently
request the input of the District on forest resource decisions it is not a legislated requirement. The Forest Act
only requires notification from the Ministry of pending forest use decisions in one issue of one local
newspaper.
The District has been identified as a stakeholder in the development of a forest resource strategy for Blue
Mountain and the Manager of Development and Environmental Services has been participating in the
process on behalf of the municipality.
Relevant District Policy
Official Community Plan
The Blue Mountain area has been designated as "Community Forest" in Schedule B of the Official
Community Plan (See Map 2). While the OCP recognizes that the area is under the jurisdiction of the
provincial government it does talk about the need to establish a "community forest" over the land base to:
- provide a management presence in the area;
- allow for integrated use between silviculture, forestry, wildlife enhancement, recreation usage; and
- allow for educational programs and economic benefits that accrue locally.
OCP Policy 15: "Maple Ridge will consider designation of Crown lands in the Blue Mountain Forest
Reserve as a "community forest" to be operated on a sustainable basis for the benefit
of the citizens of the municipality."
Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows Master Plan for Parks, Recreation and Culture
The Parks Recreation and Culture Master Plan has been identified the Blue Mountain Provincial Forest as an
area in need of a management plan that recognizes the high value local citizens have placed on open space in
the area. The following is an excerpt from the Master Plan:
"In the case of Blue Mountain Provincial Forest, Maple Ridge should approach the Katzie Band to explore a
partnership whereby the municipality could support the Band to develop and implement a management plan
for this Crown owned site which has interest to both parties."
INTERGOVERNMENTAL ISSUES:
Have been discussed above.
ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES:
Have been discussed above.
CITIZEN/CUSTOMER IMPLICATIONS:
There are a number of residents in the community who would like to see the Blue Mountain Provincial
Forest protected as park. They are concerned that any type of logging activity in the area will have adverse
impacts on the air and water quality of the community (see attached correspondence).
There is also a concern that logging in the area will destroy the quality of well water in Whonnock, requiring
the installation of municipal water services, similar to the services provide to the RossilGaribaldi area.
The drinking water for the residents of the Garibaldi subdivision was taken directly from Kathryn Creek (See
Map 1) under a water license approved by the Ministry of Health. It is the District's understanding that the
poor water quality in the area was directly related to fecal coliform contamination from the withdrawal of
water from an open water source (the creek), poor reservoir conditions and a lack of chlorination. There has
been no evidence to suggest that logging was the cause of water contamination in this system. It is also
unlikely that logging in the area would impact the quality of residential well water, but care should be given
to the protection of drinking water taken from any surface water source.
In order for the Blue Mountain Provincial Forest to be set aside as Park the Lieutenant Governor would have
to reopen the land use decision that in 1992 reconfirmed the status of Blue Mountain as Provincial Forest. In
1992, the provincial government launched its Protected Area Strategy making a commitment to increase the
amount of protected Crown land from 6% to 12% of the province by the year 2000. A review of Crown land
throughout the province was undertaken to determine which lands should remain under their current
management regime and which lands should be protected. The Blue Mountain Provincial Forest was
considered during the course of this review. The decision was made to leave the area as provincial forest
given that 14% of the Crown land in the Lower Mainland Region already held protected area status and the
long harvest history of the area.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: N/A
ALTERNATIVES: N/A
SUMMARY:
The Ministry of Forests have committed to the development of a Forest Resource Strategy in the Blue
Mountain Provincial Forest and the municipality has been invited to participate in the process.

Dear Councilor King:
Western Canada Wilderness Committee is Canada's largest membership-based citizen-funded wilderness
conservation organization. We have about 26,000 members across Canada, with about 6,000 right here in
the Lower Mainland.
Last night 1 attended a meeting at the Whonnock Community Hall. Mayor Hogarth and Councilor Morse
were in attendance as well. What we heard convinced me that right now is a rare once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity to expand and improve one of the Lower Mainland's most popular recreation areas - Golden
Ears Provincial Park. But if action is not taken soon I fear this opportunity will slip through our fmgers.
That's why we have mailed you this letter and Educational Report about the need to protect the forests of
Blue Mountain by adding them to Golden Ears Provincial Park. In fact, we've mailed a letter and report
to every Council in the Lower Mainland.
If you choose to take action, I believe that the fabulous forests of Blue Mountain - Maple Ridge's
Backyard Wilderness - can be protected for people to enjoy now and far into the future.
Here's what we are asking you to do...
* Read the Educational Report.
* Log on to our website www.wildernesscommittee.org to see maps, reports and an online slide
show about the forests of Blue Mountain.
* Write a letter to the Honourable Joyce Murray, the Minister Responsible for Parks - her
address is listed on the back of the Educational Report. Let her know what you think about
preserving Blue Mountain as an addition to Golden Ears Provincial Park. Please send us a
copy of your letter and her response.
Thank you for your time.

Dear I\•Iavor,
Blue Mountain as we love it, is in danger from the BC forestry service. It
is not even a very profitable place to log, the trees are relatively young. but
log it they will if we don't stop them. It is shear lunacy: Blue Mountain is
enjoyed by many people every year, why destroy if for practically no gain?
For the protection of the Blue Mountain area it must be included in the
Golden Ears Provincial Park.
I really believe this Earth is on the brink of a severe environmental calamity.
At no point in historvha.s such wanton destruction been levelled upon the
Earth. I am unaware of all the forces at play in your office, but I am sure
that they pale to inconsequentialities when compared to such potential cii-
vironmental disasters as the ruin of Blue Mountain. So consult within your
heart where you are still firmly connected to nature. listen to all the (on-
cerned people. and stand firm for what is right: Save Blue Mountain.
Yours sincerely. --

Blue Mountain, within Katzie
First Nation territory, is the
spectacular backyard wilderness
of Maple Ridge, BC.
For generations I)eople have ircated the area like
a park and taken for granted that it won't be logged.
Now citizens are coming together to light logging plans
for Blue Mountain.
Blue Mountain's 7,500-hectare forest-covered
ridge rises up from the eastern shore of Alouette Lake.
It is the scenic viewscape for visitors to Golden Ears Pro-
vincial Park's beaches and campgrounds. The west shore
of Alouette Lake is protected within Golden Ears Park
but the east shore, including Blue Mountain, is not.
Boaters from the park often camp in time secluded
bays and forests at the foot of Blue Mountain along
Aiouette Lake's unprotected east shore. Hikers and
mountain bikers enjoy the trails and overgrown roads
that criss-cross its 80-year-old second growth forests.
Now the BC Forest Service has begun a plauning
process for logging this forest. The Wilderness Coin-
immittee, Canada's largest iiienlrt)erShIuI)-l)1se(l (i)IISVI va-
tion Urgailil.atl()ii, says tli;iI tIre time has ( mne tu rirake

lue Mountain Forests Worth More Standing
It all started several years ago when the Cltilliwack Forest Service district office first proposed logging the 80-year-old
órests along the southeast shore of Alotielte Lake at the base of Blue Mountain. People were naturally upset - believing
hat these forests were in a protected area. The Forest Service got so many complaints that logging plans along Alouette
iake were temporarily 1Mit on hold. Then residents living near Dewdney Trunk Road, at the southern foot of Blue
Mountain were dismayed to find several new clearcuts in the woodlot forests near their
neighborhoods. Complaints to the Chilliwack Forest Service office increased. People
wanted to 'know what was happening to their backyard forests on Blue Mountain.
In November of 2001 Chilhiwack Forest Service District Manager Jerry Kennah
announced that the Forest Service would convene a community consultation process
for Blue Mountain. "When we heard about this community consultation process we were ini-
tially pleased because Blue Mountain certainly warrants further study, which we believe will lead
to full protection ' said Western Canada Wilderness Committee (WCWC) spokesperson
Joe Foy. WCWC is Canada's largest membership based wilderness preservation organi
zation with over 26,000 members nation-wide. The largest block of WWC snpporters
is in the Vancouver-Lower Mainland region.
"But after learning more about the proposed Forest Service process we caij see it is seriously
flawed because they are not considering a protected area option forBlue Mountain - only a contin-
ued logging option".
Blue Mountain's forests are worth far more standing than cut down for lumber
production. It takes about 30 loaded logging trucks to provide one full-time forestry
job for one year. "You could clearcut Blue Mountain from top to bottom and still only provide a
handful of short-term jobs because the trees there are small and of lower wood quality and volume,"
explained Foy. "Yet weknowfrom a 1995 government study that for eveiy dollarinvested in BC'S
park system nine dollars in sustained economic activity are returned to the community.
It just makes sense economically and ecologically to grant, protected area status to
Boaters in Golden Ears Provincial Park look across Alouetie Lake ' Blue Mommiitain. Because Blue Mountain is part of Katzie First Nation territory it should

Attention: Mayor and Council
Dear SirsfMesdames:
I am writing in support of the preservation of the Blue Mountain area by
adding it to Golden Ears Provincial Park. I oppose any plans for the logging
of this area by the B.C. Forest Service.
I think it is crucial to preserve wilderness areas such as this one that are in
close proximity to urban developments, both to curb the urban sprawl and to
ensure a better quality of life for the existing residents. I believe we have to
call a halt to development at some point, and put priority on preservation of
the precious and dwindling natural habitat that we have left, before it is all
destroyed.
Please do what you can to influence the decision to protect and preserve
Blue Mountain.
Thank you.
Yours truly,
Cathy Morton

Dear Mayor and Council,

Re: Blue Mountain
This is to let you know that we strongly support the Western Canada
Wilderness Committee's suggestion that Golden Ears Park be expanded to include
Blue Mountain. Moreover, because Blue Mountain is part of Katzie First Nation
territory, we think that it should be co-managed by the Katzie First Nation and B.C.
Parks.
There are many reasons why we believe that the Blue Mountain forests
should be preserved immediately. Among others, Blue Mountain is the headwaters
source for a. number of streams that provide water for local residents, the
communities surrounding Blue Mountain oppose changes to the area, and the Blue
Mountain bays, forests and ridges are already sheltering boaters, hikers and mountain
bikers.
Logging in the Blue Mountain area is clearly not an option: trees are small and
of lower wood quality and volume, whereas, for every dollar invested in B.C.'s park
system, nine dollars in sustained economic activity are returned to the community. It
makes sense politically, economically and ecologically to grant protected area status
to Blue Mountain.
As residents of the Fraser Valley, we feel that access to the beautiful Golden
Ears area is an essential part of our lifestyle. I trust that you will support the
initiatives of citizens who are not necessarily utree-huggers , but well-informed
participants in what should be a long-term viable economy.
Yours truly,
