73 Prepared by: Dr. Terri MacDonald Date: December 31, 2017 Proposal Brief: RDI for Local Government Building Regional Resilience through Informed Decision-making, Collaborative Action and Capacity Building Background The Columbia Basin Rural Development Institute (RDI) was established in July 2011, built on an 8-year partnership agreement between Columbia Basin Trust (CBT) and Selkirk College. This partnership agreement ends in The mandate of the RDI is to support evidence-based decision-making in the Columbia Basin-Boundary region through the provision of information, applied research, and related outreach and extension. CBT has provided core funding to the RDI which has been leveraged with other funding sources allowing the RDI to expand its research agenda. Selkirk College has contributed infrastructure and operational support, including the BC Regional Innovation Chair in Rural Economic Development (RIC) who directs the RDI s research agenda. The RIC is an endowed research chair position that was established in 2005 resulting from $1.5 million raised by Selkirk College and matched with $1.5 million from the Provincial Government s Leading Edge Foundation. By supporting evidence-based planning and decision-making, innovation, and technology transfer, the RIC portfolio aims to improve the economic climate of rural communities. The RIC s research agenda is based on regional priorities and partnerships with local and regional organizations and businesses. Efforts have been made to align the RIC and RDI research agendas. Since its inception, the RDI has delivered the State of the Basin initiative, hosted training and learning events, supported co-op student placements, and has undertaken a number of regionally relevant applied research projects, including: Regional Food Systems Business Retention and Expansion Employment Lands SME Adoption of Digital Technologies Climate Adaptation Workforce Development Over $3 million in research and rural development projects have been undertaken and the RDI has and continues to work in partnership with the regions colleges to advance initiatives such as the Kootenay Workforce Development Initiative a College of the Rockies-Selkirk College joint-initiative. The RDI s strategic priorities are up for renewal in The priorities included: Consolidate, identify gaps and build regional knowledge Undertake applied rural development focused research Support the access, use and application of RDI research and tools Support meaningful applied research collaboration amongst educational institutions and Columbia Basin Trust An external evaluation conducted on the RDI in 2017 revealed there is a healthy foundation of familiarity with the RDI across target client groups (local government, economic, social, cultural and environmental non-profits), the RDI is recognized as a hub of regional information, and RDI products and services have effectively supported a multitude of planning and development projects. However, evaluation findings suggest that a narrowing of focus with respect to target audience and more targeted provision of products and services could position the RDI for improved impact moving forward. A key opportunity for improvement lies in being able to ensure a strong match between the products and services the RDI provides and the needs of the communities it serves. RDI 2.0 With this knowledge in hand and the upcoming end of the CBT partnership agreement, the RDI proposes a shift to focus its efforts on meeting the needs of local government partners tailoring projects, products and services more directly. This proposed shift is based on the recognition that the RDI s broad regional mandate has made it difficult to address the emerging research needs of its local government partners. The new approach would include targeted, 73

74 Prepared by: Dr. Terri MacDonald Date: December 31, 2017 responsive and increased levels of direct support to help local government make informed decisions, test innovative approaches through pilot projects, and build regional capacity to tackle complex issues in a coordinated way. In addition to bringing $500,000 in provincial funding into the region, the BC Rural Dividend proposal submission is providing us with the opportunity to test a new and sustainable direction for the RDI. Building on this new direction, the following draft strategic priorities are proposed for this project and for the RDI s renewed Strategic Plan: 1. support informed decision-making by providing local government with direct research support designed to deliver concrete actions and/or tangible benefits; 2. address complex regionally-relevant challenges and opportunities by undertaking pilot projects; and 3. build regional capacity through the provision of training and collaborative learning opportunities. Required Contributions and Proposed Budget The Rural Dividend grant requires that partners contribute both cash and in-kind contributions. The project budget includes $500,000 from the BC Rural Dividend grant, $100,000 from the CBT/RDI final year budget, and $150,000 cash from local government partners. The RDI is contributing in-kind time of the RIC and an additional $25,000 annually in the form of data purchases and data analytic software and databases. Selkirk College and College of the Rockies are each providing $10,000 of in-kind contributions. The requested contribution from the Regional Districts includes: $40,000 cash over the course of the 2-year project ($20,000 per year) $15,000 in-kind time to scope research projects, engage in pilot projects, and participate in training and collaborative learning Local government partners may decide to contribute at the municipal or rural electoral area scale instead of / or in addition to the regional district scale. Additionally, local governments may tie this into their existing economic development budgets to support upcoming research (e.g. BRE, employment lands analysis, economic impact analysis). Cash contributions will yield a 50% return on investment in the form of funder-defined direct research support (e.g. $40,000 contribution equals $60,000 in direct research support). Related funding resolutions need to be secured by January 31, RDI 2.0 Budget Cash Contributions Total RDI/CBT Contribution 100,000 Local Government Contribution 150,000 BC Rural Dividend Grant 500,000 Total 750,000 Expenses Budget Local Government Defined Direct Research Support 225,000 Regional Research 50,000 Innovation Seed Fund for Pilot Projects 100,000 Training and Collaborative Learning 100,000 Project Manager Salary (50%) 100,000 Rural Development Internships (5 co-ops x $10,0000) 50,000 Monitoring and Evaluation Consultant 10,000 LCDDTS (partner applicant) administrative fee 20,000 Operating costs - supplies, capital, travel, meetings, software, etc. 25,000 Subtotal 680,000 Overhead (10%) 70,000 Total 750,000 For more information please contact Dr. Terri MacDonald: tmacdonald@selkirk.ca 74

Current discussions regarding revenue sharing involve the Federal and Provincial governments with no inclusion of local governments. Ultimately, the legalization will entail additional costs for localgovernments both in social and policing costs. A Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) paper is stating that the impact may affect policing, fire services, building codes, city planning, municipal licensing and standards, public health, social services, communications, law, etc. City of West Kelowna Mayor and Council is requesting your support, by writing to the Province to lobby them to agree to 50%of the provincial share of the cannabis tax sharing formula be provided to local governments. This is an adequate and equitable share to help support costs and services incurred by local governments. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, on behalf of ncil, Doug Findlater Mayor 117

121 December 6, 2017 Honourable George Heyman Minister of Environment and Climate Change Strategy Via PO Box Stn Prov Govt Rm 112, Parliament Buildings Victoria, BC V8W9E2 # Dec CAO CO DCO/BOARD Re: Prevention of Quagga and Zebra Mussels Dear Minister Heyman, On behalf of the District of Clearwater, I would like to express my concern about the threat of Quagga and Zebra mussels. Sicamous submitted a resolution at UBCM that was endorsed requesting more funding from the Provincial Government to increase awareness and education regarding the threat of Quagga and Zebra mussels in BC Lakes. The effects to ALL BC Lakes would be devastating: Zebra and quagga mussels filter water to the point where food sources such as plankton are removed, altering food webs. This also causes clearer water, allowing sunlight to penetrate deeper, increasing growth of aquatic vegetation. One mussel can produce one million mussels per year. Impact on fish and wildlife by increasing toxic algal blooms. Large colonies affect spawning areas, impacting the survival of fish eggs. Affects recreational activities by cutting swimmers feet as a result of their sharp shell. Non-reversible once infested with mussels, all BC Lakes will be contaminated and there is currently no solution to destroy the mussels. Cost to BC government, taxpayers and businesses will be billions if mussels get into our ecosystem. Eco-system compromised, water intakes plugged, fish destroyed, beaches destroyed. No long-term research provided on drinking water quality. Negative tourism impact Solutions: Guard the boarders - cost BC millions to guard the boarders 24/7, 365 days per year to prevent infestation or boat border crossing hours. Train border patrols - this is a serious issue, they must collect the correct information from boaters (of all kinds such as zodiacs, blow up paddle boards). More conservation officers, with more authority. More docks. This is no longer a campaign, it should now be a department of the government with funding to continue prevention. DISTRICT OF CLEARWATER P F E admin@docbc.ca PO Box No Dutch Lake Road Clearwater BC VOE lno Page 1 of districtofclearwater.

122 This is no longer a provincial problem, it is a federal problem, lakes that are contaminated in Canada should not be allowed to let boats leave without inspection to prevent contaminating other lakes. Transport Canada should prevent float planes from hoping provinces and states. Education - major media campaign announcing BC's commitment to keeping our waters pristine (TV, billboards, newspapers, social media) All Municipalities and Regional Districts should run a banner on their website home pages -_ "British Columbia is Committed to keeping their lakes Quagga and Zebra Mussel free. Please respect our Lakes and boarder crossing patrols, STOP at the boat inspection stations". This should have a link to a website explaining the seriousness of this issue, and explain fines for breaking the law by transporting invasive species. All BC tourism sites should also announce and run the banner on their sites. Tourism will stay healthy if BC lakes stays healthy. Boaters registration, should include education. Immediate allocations of funds dedicated to research, to enable BC biologists to work on a solution with Manitoba & US studies research groups. Let's work on removing them, together. Collaborate with infested US bordering Lakes on research and prevention of cross contamination. Collaborate with Alberta and Saskatchewan to stay mussel free Funding: BC government will find the funds (billions) if we lose the battle against mussels, as we'll need to manage the problem. This is how we can help fund the prevention now (millions): Out of province user pay at all BC boat ramps Lake passes for BC boaters All fines are allocated back to the program Boat registration increase some funding back to project Thank you for your consideration of this issue.

134 City of Parksville Office of the Mayor December 19, 2017 The Honourable George Heyman Minister of Environment and Climate Change Strategy PO Box 9047 Stn Prov Govt Victoria, BC V8W 9E DEC-17 # CAO CO DCO/BOARD Dear Minister Heyman: RE: Prevention of Quagga and Zebra Mussels At the December 18, 2017, regular meeting, Parksville City Council passed a resolution to express concern regarding the threat that quagga and zebra mussels pose to BC lakes. The District of Sicamous submitted a resolution at UBCM that was endorsed requesting more funding from the provincial government to increase awareness and education regarding this issue. Quagga and zebra mussels are highly invasive; only one mussel can produce one million mussels per year. Should BC become infested with these mussels, the impact will not ever be reversible. All BC lakes would be contaminated and there is currently no solution to destroy the mussel population. It is our belief that the effects of these mussels would be devastating to BC freshwater eco-systems. Zebra and quagga mussels filter water to the point where food sources such as plankton are removed, altering food webs. This also causes clearer water, allowing sunlight to penetrate deeper, increasing growth of aquatic vegetation. Toxic algal blooms may negatively impact native fish and wildlife. Large mussel colonies affect spawning areas, impacting the survival of fish eggs. With the eco-system compromised, beaches will be destroyed. Water intakes may become clogged with mussel colonies and there is no research on how these mussel populations may affect water quality. Recreational users may no longer wish to access lakes due to the environmental changes, which would negatively impact the vital tourism industry in BC. The cost to British Columbia government, taxpayers and businesses will be billions if these mussels manage to infiltrate our ecosystem.

135 Quagga and Zebra Mussels Page 2 of 2 Fortunately, there is still time to prevent this disaster. The District of Sicamous submitted a comprehensive list of preventative measures to keep these mussels out of BC waterways, including stricter border patrols, increased conservation staffing, inter-governmental collaboration and improved boater education. It is our hope that the Government of BC will heed this warning and implement some of these suggestions before it is too late.
