We have council order for Tuesday, August 25th to approve the agenda,
please. Councelor Norbury. >> Thank you, Mayor. That the August 25th,
2026 special council meeting agenda be adopted as presented.
» Seconder, Councelor Noxana. All in favor? Carried. Consent agenda. Take the
recommendation, please. Council Norbury.
» Thank you, Mayor. that the items in the August 25th, 2026 consent agenda be
moved for information. >> Seconder council Roxanna discussion. All
the question in favor? Opposed? Carried.
Are there any items council like to bring forward for discussion? Council
Norbury. >> Thank you, mayor. Um item 3.3, our blood
counts for discussion, please. >> Seconder. Councelor Knox. All in favor?
Hear. Councelor Norbury. >> Thank you, Mayor. Uh, you know, I I I
appreciate this letter from our blood counts. Um, this is something that when
we had a delegation from one of our local high school students was trying to
advocate for a blood donation drive to be brought to the north and it's, you
know, it's interesting timing that these people are also calling for blood plasma
donation in Northern BC. So, I think it's something we should be supporting
and they're in the the letter here, they're asking for a letter of support.
So, I motion for us to provide a letter letter of support to the Canadian Blood
Services CBC CEO, Dr. Graham Sher and BC Minister of Health, Josie Osborne, and
sharing their >> Yeah, that's it. Thanks.
» Let's do the Minister of Health second councelor Noxana discussion. I
appreciate that coming forward. We actually I have it marked to as well but
this is um bringing it back into another agenda. It was in a previous agenda. No,
no direction was given. So I brought it back in and for that purpose I think we
should be supporting it. Call the question. All in favor carried. Any
other items council like to bring forward for discussion? Councelor
Noxana. >> Thank you. 316 Grizzly Valley ATV Club.
» Seconder. Councelor Norbury. All in favor?
Carried. Council Nox, >> thank you. Um, I'm wondering if we
should maybe respond to Mr. Cen that we are hoping to have conversations
surrounding this Fort Service Road and others at UBCM. Um, and just ensure that
we have all the update updated information that they might have.
They're really knowledgeable in our area and ensure that uh we can take that
knowledge with us to UBCM. So, I'll motion that we respond to them with
that. >> Secular
I'll second it for discussion. Discussion.
Council Norbury. >> Thank you, Mayor. Can can I get a little
clarification on what our motion is like? Uh we're motioning to meet with
the Minister of Transportation to advocate for the you know keeping the
the Forest Service road available. It's a little vague that's all.
» Yeah. So we'll get a council [clears throat] no talk about but we
have already added that to one of our ministers and that was one of the
reasonings. Councelor Nox >> thank you I don't need to repeat that
but yeah talking about about this and just letting Mr. Crossen know that that
is um slated for UBCM I think and ensuring that if he has any more
information that that we get it to bring down.
» Okay. Any other discussion? Councelor Norbury.
» Thank you mayor. [clears throat] Yeah I I fully support it. I was of similar
mind that we should be re reaching out to the minister of ministry of
transportation or to just advocate for keeping that area open. You know, after
hearing about how they have deactivated previous roads to removed absolutely all
access out there, there's got to be some sort of middle ground to maintain these
areas that have been created by volunteers that are used by our
community members and visitors. Keep it open. I'm sure there's something that we
can do. Thanks. >> Thank you. Any other discussion?
Yeah, [clears throat and cough] and I I support letting U Mr. Cross know that
we're, you know, this is something that's on our wicket already or on our
radar for UBCM. It wasn't just the Bully Creek. It's a concept in regards to the
Murray Forest Service Road. Now that it's put been put under the Ministry of
Transportation, it hinders the OVs um using that main
road. So I think that's a discussion to have a conversation
um with uh the minister and then hopefully when we get back actually
having uh conversations about staff um regional uh Modi staff as
well so they understand what's going on there in regards to that and I think it
was just something that previous councils had really pushed to get that
road uh upkept and not realizing that when we did that [clears throat] now
going under Ministry of Highways so there's some locals there when it comes
to or OV but if there's a way of of ministry looking at maybe making an
exemption on on that road because it is a forest service road not under the
ministry so support it I'll call the question all in favor
carried
council >> thank you 3.17 Tumbler Ridge RCMP
» seconder council Hoffman all in favor carried Council Rox,
» thank you. We have some correspondence here from
Constable Jonathan Kout Coat um about a youth safety project here in
Tumblr. And I'm going to throw out my idea before I
do a motion because I think that we should have a conversation maybe if
anyone else has ideas. Um I was thinking some pool passes or some rec center one
use passes if we wanted to participate in this program.
» Make a couple comments. I think one we should reach out to make sure I know
they have started this program um just to make sure there is they need
some more stuff for this year if not look at it for next year but my thing is
I think we should have staff just reach out um communicate that we're looking at
to partake and and we can add it to the motion that if they need more stuff that
you know we're looking at swim passes or whatever but if not if it's something
that we can put into 2027 budget councelor [snorts] no
okay so if we preapproved it and And nobody else has their mics on. I'm going
to motion that we purchase up to a hundred
dollars worth of one use rec center passes for the RCMP initiative um out of
the council initiatives budget. >> Seconder council Norberry discussion.
» Miss Scott staff's clear and then we reach out to them make sure they're
needed. >> Yes. Councelor No. Okay.
» Yeah. Call the question. All in favor? Carried. And there other items council
like to bring forward for discussion. Councelor Noxenna.

» Secer. Councelor Hoffman. All in favor? Carrie. Councelor Knox.
» Thank you. Um, this is a resident and business owner bringing forward a
concern about a ramp that uh is questioning who installed it. Um,
and I have questions on who installed it and if it's if it's up to code. So, I
would like to motion that we request staff to look into this ramp and how to
mitigate the issues if it's ours. >> Okay. Just before we have a second, we
should also I mean there's some comments made in here. there's some other
concerns whether it's on his property or district property should be added into
the motion. So I think we should just ask staff for a full report on this ramp
when it was installed whose property is on and who's maintaining it. That's what
they're looking for. >> Okay, I'll take a seconder. Councelor
Noana discussion
just want to make sure his staff that's clear. Okay, call a question. All in
favor? Carried. Any other items council like to bring forward? Councelor Norber.
Thank you, mayor. Uh 3.14 for discussion, please.
» Seconder. Councelor Noxetta. All in favor?
Carried. Councelor. >> Thank you, Mayor. I just wanted to give
an update on this because um you know, the the South Peace Health Service
Society is in discussions with Northern Health. Um you know, because we're in
negotiations, I can't really get into specific
details, but I can say that things are looking positive for the futures of the
Baltry House. And uh hopefully we'll have some positive news. um when it's
billable. Thanks. >> Thanks, Councelor Hoffman.
» Thank you, Mayor. Uh 3.9 for discussion. >> Oh, just hang on a second. Any
discussion about the Northern Health or Ministry of Health? Sorry. Okay.
Councelor Hoffman. >> Yes. 3.9 for discussion, please.
» Seconder. Councelor Noana. All [clears throat] in favor? Carried.
Councelor Hoffman. >> Thank you, Mayor. Um I just thought this
was a very well-crafted letter for somebody that's been using our golf
courses. And given that I don't know anything about this, I just want to know
if this was sort of like on the uh on the agenda for our uh maintenance or is
uh this something we should be looking into as far as staff's concerned.
» Yeah, I mean I made a couple comments. I think as staff prepares or finishes up
2026 with the the budget for some of the stuff they had on their list, I believe
there still is other things on that list. um you know obviously not budgeted
for in 2026 that we'll see staff come forward in pre or the next years with
you know can't be done all at once. Um I would think some this is the stuff
that's on their list. Uh, Miss Scott. >> Um, yeah, mostly this this letter um
talks about um the trees and issues with the trees. Um, and so the where he
mentioned specifically in the tea boxes, the tea boxes are slated for um
improvement this year. So I I think that will alleviate some of that. Um, he also
mentions how um trees affect irrigation. I don't think it would be our intention
to bring forward a proposal to get rid of all of the trees. Um, but it is
improvements to the golf course and ways to mitigate things that affect the golf
course are things that we do look at regularly to bring forward to council as
as as needed. >> Thank you, Councelor Hoffman.
» No, that's I'm good. >> Okay. Anything else from council in
regards to uh 3.9 Stuart Garland?
I think it's I I mean I'm going to make a comment. And I think it's great that
we have residents or the users of our golf course or any other thing within
our community actually sending the letters into correspondence, something
that we can, you know, have a conversation with staff. And again,
I think as staff moves forward and, you know, the golf course is one of the
things that was captured by some of the new staff that Miss Scott has working
for in regards to directors are starting to pick this stuff up and yeah, it may
be a little longer. you know, it's delayed down there, but I think this is
what we see. Um, as you have a full team and and things start coming forward. I
think we'll see more of that, you know, being reactive instead of, you know,
being being proactive instead of reactive to every incident that comes
around. And I think we we start seeing that now. And, you know, I just
appreciate the letter coming in, especially somebody that's using it and
and seen quite a few few issues. And he talks about it. Took him a couple years
to decide whether he was going to write this letter or not. So, just want to say
I appreciate that. Okay. Okay. Any other items the council like to bring forward
for discussion? Councelor Nobury. >> Thank you, Mayor. 3.19 Grizzy Vattle
Saddle Club for discussion. >> Second. Councelor Noxana.
Councelor Norbury. >> Thank you, Mayor. So, this is kind of a
followup to the um delegation that we had come in. I think it's great to see
um these volunteers come forward and trying to make improvements on their
their area. So, I'd like to support them, but I would also like to add a
little bit of a stipulation. Um, and I'll I'll I'll explain why before I make
the motion, but um you know, I I foresee that there could be a potential for them
peacemealing this project out. And I'd just like to see us have a little bit of
flexibility in that if they um come forward and say, "Hey, we found a grant
for just the fencing, we could give that versus, you know, um in in addition to
the overall project." So, >> so just before you motion, let's have a
bit more discuss just so we get the motion right.
I have a couple comments to make and you know one we already have a policy that
is in regards to this when it doesn't cost uh there's no municipality uh
monetary ask that could be some we already have a policy for that I would
[clears throat] be very careful doing an open-ended uh just letter like you kind
of mentioned I think if as they come forward they can send those in but we do
have a policy that gives us the mayor the right if there's no monetary ask I
think that could be talked about in that motion and the only reason I say that is
because one that when they do those requests instead of an open-ended
council is going to support every grant you ask for. If they send it in, at
least staff can make sure that it actually is something the town would
support like the district supports. It's not something that we should not be
supporting. Um, you know, don't want to get into specifics, but there could be
other granting options out there for something that maybe the municipality
would not want their name attached to. Whether that's
tobacco, whatever it may be, we may have, you know, to meet staff have to
make sure that meets our criteria. and we're just doing an open-ended grant.
They could just use our name for anything anywhere. So that's the only
reason I say that because that I think that's why previous councils came up
with that policy. So that that would be just my only comment council nor and
that's kind of what I said delegation and I think it also assists this
organization is sometimes the grants are are certain specific on the wording they
want in the support letters and I think that also makes a difference when they
send them in. It's not about handcuffing them every time they apply for a grant.
It could be a very fast turnaround when it when it when we talk about that
especially with that policy. >> Council Norbe,
» thank you mayor. So I think then like our pathway forward in this to still
give them that option. I can appreciate the mayor's office wanting to being able
to offer that letter of support but in some granting um stipulations like we
see from organizations is that they want something from the municipality and I
think there would be a distinction between the office of the mayor and the
municipality. I think our opportunity is that um we give a blanket um
[clears throat] if the if the the letter of request that
they're letter of support that they're requesting meets the criteria of this
grant and meets our policy, we can provide it.
» Just reach out to Miss Scott. >> So, so it doesn't come just I don't want
to pay but it doesn't come from the mayor's office. Comes from the District
of Tumbidge. I just signed it. >> It's from the District of Tumbidge.
not from the mayor's office as per our policy.
» Okay. Um you know just it it's interesting to hear that you can speak I
mean the mayor's office the mayor can't speak on behalf of council but if it's
if it's just direction from the district it should have some support from all of
council behind it is my thoughts and this is what we should be doing.
» Yeah. So staffing the policy and make sure staff meet it meets the criteria of
the municipality [clears throat] and it's fine. There there is one with that
will be coming to the to council because I don't want to sign it. It was already
talked to staff but that front of council. So I you know I I try to use
the best judgment when I'm signing on behalf and because of the delegation and
and council's comments there. It's obviously supported by council. So I
don't go out leftwing or I don't personally as the mayor. Um but it has
to meet the criteria before anything. So there will be one coming in September
that I've asked staff to put in front of council because I want council to have
some comments there. So I try to use the best judgment there, but again the one
that that has popped up, it meets our [clears throat] municipalities policy as
approved by C previous councils. [snorts] It could be signed, but I
brought it I'll be bringing it forward in September for for council. So I, you
know, it's [clears throat] like this one here. I I listen to council during the
debate. Everybody, I mean, I'm definitely supportive of of the saddle
club in regards to what they want to do out there. Again, I just think an
open-ended letter um sometimes that's not what they're needed for grants
anyways and they have to come back which still can be signed as long as it meets
the criteria. That would just be my only comments. Not saying that we can't put a
motion out there, counselor. I'm just saying that there is a stipulation
already there. So, that's whatever direction council
wants to go. Okay. Any other items council like to
bring forward for discussion? I'd like to bring 3.10 10 for discussion
if I can get a second. Councelor Knox. All in favor? Carried. My motion would
be that council approves uh my travel and any other costs associated with the
resources uh event. Sorry, I'm just trying to find where it
is from.
Jeez. Count.
» Yeah. Yeah. So, it's their BC's 49th technical
and research committee and reclamation and it's coming to Northeast BC. So, I'm
just looking for approval from from council to support um my attendance from
the September 21st to 24th. So, put that motion on the floor for a second.
Council Norbury. Discussion. Councelor Roxanna.
» Thank you. you. I'm just wondering how much of this will be out of town and how
much will be in or if you know yet. I >> I don't know. I mean, they do talk about
a tour here at Quintet Mine site. They talk about a tour at site C. They talk
about some of it being online and I mean that's technical stuff. I will not be
obviously partaking when it comes to technical. So, um I did not get a full
schedule. The full event is listed there. I did not look it up to see where
all the events are. I just I would obviously receive this being uh invited
um as the mayor and I just thought I'd put in front of council.
» Any other discussion? Call the question. All in favor?
Carried. Any other items council like to bring
forward for discussion?
Okay. Okay. New business, uh, Tumbidge Trails
and Outdoor Recreation Strategy for adoption. Report dated August 25th, 2026
from the Director of Economic and Community Development regarding Tumbidge
Trails and Outdoor Recreation Strategy for adoption. Recommendation,
Councelor Nobury. >> Thank you, Mayor, that the council
adopts the Tumbler Ridge Trails and Outdoor Recreation Strategy as
presented. >> Second, Councelor Noxana. Uh, Miss
Scott, maybe a quick overview from um the director of economic development.
Uh, even though we're putting it on the floor, I just think not every, you know,
maybe we have some people watching, but I think it's important just to have a
conversation about it. Know council's obviously read it. I've I've had some
good comments. So, if we may. >> Um, yes. Thank you. I will ask the
director of economic and community development if she can provide council
with a brief overview of this recreation strategy. Um, and and maybe highlight
some of the changes since last time it was before council.
» Thank you. My apologies. Should asked you for an overview, not your employee.
» Thank you, Miss Scott, and thank you, mayor and council. Uh so the report
before you presents the final Tumblr Ridge trails and outdoor recreation
strategy for adoption. This has been a collaborative project involving the
district, Chora, local recreation organizations, community partners, and a
consulting team. The strategy gives us a much clearer understanding of the size
and condition of our trail network and establishes a coordinated framework for
future planning. It identifies 108 trails across 13 trail areas
representing approximately 1236 kilometers and includes seven goals and
129 prioritized recommendations. The strategy was informed by extensive
community and stakeholder engagement including public input, local recreation
organizations, youth, indigenous outreach, and ongoing review by the
project advisory committee. The committee brought together
representatives with direct knowledge of our trail systems, recreation groups,
and destination assets, and helped ensure the final recommendations were
grounded in local experience. The project also resulted in a significant
amount of GIS and spatial data that can support future trail mapping and
planning. We had anticipated additional uh funding through Pacific to further
develop this into a public-f facing web map, but that funding did not ultimately
materialize. This may be something council wishes to revisit in a future
budget year if uh funding becomes available. It's important to emphasize
that this is a long-term planning framework, not a commitment to implement
every recommendation. There's no reliable total implementation costs that
could be assigned today. Any actions requiring district funding, significant
staff resources, land decisions, procurement, regulatory approvals, or
indigenous engagement and consultation would still come back through future
budgets uh or separate reports to council.
TROA is an important implementation partner, but the strategy would still
remain valuable if organizational rules change over time. The inventory,
mapping, priorities, and long-term direction would still remain in place.
That said, Shore brings significant value through coordination and capacity
building, and we certainly hope that they continue to grow and succeed for
many years as a key partner in outdoor recreation.
MRDT is identified as one potential funding tool to explore. Adoption
tonight does not approve an MRDT application, a tax rate, or any specific
use of future revenue. It simply keeps it as an available option for future
consideration. Other communities in our region are also currently investigating
MRDT and there may be opportunities to work collectively where it makes sense,
including sharing information, coordinating parts of the process, and
learning from one another as we assess whether it is the right fit for all of
our communities. So overall, this strategy gives the district and our
partners a shared direction. It improves our readiness for grants and
partnerships and recognizes trails and outdoor recreation as important parts of
Tumblr Ridg's quality of life, tourism economy, and long-term economic
resilience. And the recommendation is that council adopt the strategy as
presented. Thank you. >> Thank you.
» Any discussion from council? >> Council Norbury.
» Thank you, Mayor. Um, I appreciate this coming back um as a trails and outdoor
recreation strategy. Um, because like it is something that this council set off
early early on, I believe, in one of our council strategic priorities and that we
wanted to have an inventory of all of our trails to add everything together.
And one of the biggest assets that that brings um is the usage, the popularity,
and then plans to maintain and develop our our highly soughtafter assets of our
trails and our and our natural places. So, um and then, you know, all these
other recommendations to help us improve, you know, there suggestions
that we can grow off of. We can we could pick some here, pick some there, you
know, find a low hanging fruit we can implement quickly and then, you know,
anything that requires more, we could, you know, we can have that discussion
about what's what's required. But having that framework to start um is is very
important and I'm glad it's here and I'm happy to support it. Thank you.
» Thank you. Any other discussion? >> I just want to say thanks council member
there because that's pretty much what I was going to say and and I appreciate
your comments there. Uh I think it's been a lot of work from staff side,
other agency sides, this council and stuff, but um look forward to supporting
it. Okay, call a question. All in favor?

Healthcare task force committee recommendation report dated August 25th,
2026 when the executive assistant to CEO, mayor and council regarding health
task force committee recommendation. Letter to Northern Health regarding
healthcare service continuity. Um recommendation councelor
Norbury. >> Uh that council receives a support for
discussion. >> Second council. All in favor? Carried.
Council Norbury. >> Thank you mayor. Um I at this point in
time I don't think this motion is required and and the reason why is
we have not had a well um our consistency with Northern Health
representatives have been up and down and we went quite a few meetings without
representatives from Northern Health and we were unsure if they were continuing
to attend and I felt that at this previous meeting um we did not have our
Northern Health representative there. We have some very looming questions about
what's happening to our our um family doctors, what's happening to our
emergency access. Um and if if we don't have a representative to ask at the
table, we need to send a formal letter. But we did have a health task force
meeting recently where we did have a representative from Northern Health and
um I'd like to provide an update what came
out of that. Um essentially the plan is that uh there's no plans currently to
reduce emergency room access. They plan to uh continue operating the health
center through um locoms, but they were honest and and said realistically we can
expect to see some closures, which is um you know, we it's it's a tough thing to
hear. So we'll have to continue to advocate for our community. Um but the
the other big thing was we do have two P candidates the two P doctors coming and
what's the status because with Dr. Pac leaving you know the Dr. Alamman being
the only representative only doctor there we were unsure if uh those P
doctors could still work because they need to have a mentor mentoy
relationship. They need to have a local uh lo uh Canadian doctor to oversee them
for six months. and Northern Health does have a plan in
place to still have them come to our community. So um we have a doctor lined
up for um quarter end of quarter 1, maybe beginning quarter two and then one
in the summer as well. So um that was a big concern, but the plan is to still
have them come. they have a plan on how they could accommodate their needs. And
um yeah, so unfortunately it's going to get darker before it gets brighter for
us, but um we do have some um explanation of of future plans. So
[snorts] yeah, um again, I don't think the the recommendation is needed because
we did get some information from Northern Health. Thank you.
» Okay. Any other discussion? I make a couple comments. I actually think the
recommendation is still needed. And the reason I'll say that is it's actually
replying not just to this um council and staff. It's actually replying back to
our community. And that's why I would say that yes, we've heard it. I did was
able to attend that and that's great. Let's put it in writing. If that's what
their plan is, put it in writing and send it back to us and and it's, you
know, we're working with Northern Health, but the reason I say that,
Council Norbury, is we have something that we can say that this was your plan,
but that's not the direction you're going. So, as your plan changed that you
can refill us in and I think it's it's about that communication tool and
working directly with Northern Health as a full council as well as a health task
force. But I think it's important to have that come back. But I also think
that gives um support to the new minister of health who probably will say
the same thing. There probably have to be that would only be why I say I mean
if council doesn't want to do it I understand why that you know we did get
quite the explanation there at the health task force but again to me this
is you know we have a new health minister. I know it's going to Northern
Health, but I mean there way it may be a way of capturing that too as we try to
meet with him. Not sure how council feels. Council Norbury.
» Yep. Thanks, Mayor. I'll go I'll I'll motion that the healthcare task force
send a letter to Northern Health requesting what the foreseeable future
will hold for primary care and emergency room access from September and beyond
with Dr. Pacle's departure and Dr. Alman's placement ending.
» Okay. And you mean that council direct staff?
» Yes. >> Thank you. Just wanted to make sure.
Thanks. Uh second council discussion. Uh thank you for that council. I just think
it's important we get it in paper back to to the municipality. Call a question.
All in favor? Carried.
Okay. Culture safety graphic display report dated August 25th, 2026 from the
executive assistant to CEO, mayor and councel regarding the culture safety
safety graphic displays for municipality municipal facilities sizing and costing.
Recommendation. Council Norbury.
» Thank you, Mayor. That council authorizes staff to purchase six 16x 24
metal cultural safety graphic prints for display in municipal departments and one
24x36 framed cultural safety graphic print for town hall and one 30x40 frame
print for installation beneath the mayor's chair and council chambers at an
estimated cost of $1,800 plus applicable taxes and shipping with funding provided
from the council's initiative budget. >> Second, councelor Hoffman. Discussion.

Uh, fair grounds naming rates report dated August 25th, 2026 from the
director of corporate services regarding the fair grounds naming rates agreement
expiry and future direction. Recommendation.
» Council Norbury. >> Thank you. That council receives this
report for discussion. >> Second, councelor Nox. All in favor?
Carried. Councelor Hoff or Council Norbury. Sorry.
» Thank you, Mayor. Close different haircuts. Yeah. [laughter]
» Um I mean I personally I know which way I'm leaning but I didn't want to quite
make the recommendation. I think um option one is the best option for us in
that um the in the lease for the naming rights. It is expiring at in you know
end of quarter three and we leave the opportunity then for a potential
fundraising opportunity for the nonprofit who's going to take over. Just
makes makes perfect sense to continue what we're doing. Thanks.
» Thanks. Any other discussion? I [clears throat] think somebody just
needs to and I'm fine with recommendation one and it actually
takes, you know, a little bit of burden off staff. The previous one was it was
supposed to be through the district and it actually didn't end up happening that
way anyways. So to me, this is is it's fair to the person that is that gets the
lease for the fall fairgrounds, whoever that may be. Right now it's TRD society
as renegotiations happen or whatever it may to me it's easier when they're
working with directly with a company as long as it's approved by the district.
» Council Norbury. >> Thank you, Mayor. I just this is one of
those ones that seems like maybe want to have a bit of bit of discussion, but I
think we're of similar opinions. Maybe we'll see. Also, I'll motion that
council direct staff following the expiry of the fairground naming rights
agreement with Kenuma on September 4th, 2026 to leave the fairground naming
rights opportunity open as a potential fundraising option for the nonprofit
organization leasing and operating the fairgrounds with any future naming
