8
00:17:03,839 --> 00:17:10,000
the question in favor? Opposed?
Carried.

9
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:13,039
Are there any items council like to
bring forward for discussion? Council

10
00:17:11,839 --> 00:17:17,280
Norbury.
>> Thank you, mayor. Um item 3.3, our blood

11
00:17:15,679 --> 00:17:22,480
counts for discussion, please.
>> Seconder. Councelor Knox. All in favor?

12
00:17:20,959 --> 00:17:26,319
Hear. Councelor Norbury.
>> Thank you, Mayor. Uh, you know, I I I

13
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:30,960
appreciate this letter from our blood
counts. Um, this is something that when

14
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:34,880
we had a delegation from one of our
local high school students was trying to

15
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:40,080
advocate for a blood donation drive to
be brought to the north and it's, you

16
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:44,000
know, it's interesting timing that these
people are also calling for blood plasma

17
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:47,520
donation in Northern BC. So, I think
it's something we should be supporting

18
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:53,600
and they're in the the letter here,
they're asking for a letter of support.

19
00:17:49,600 --> 00:18:01,120
So, I motion for us to provide a letter
letter of support to the Canadian Blood

20
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:05,440
Services CBC CEO, Dr. Graham Sher and BC
Minister of Health, Josie Osborne, and

21
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:10,000
sharing their
>> Yeah, that's it. Thanks.

22
00:18:06,799 --> 00:18:13,919
» Let's do the Minister of Health second
councelor Noxana discussion. I

23
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:18,480
appreciate that coming forward. We
actually I have it marked to as well but

24
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:21,919
this is um bringing it back into another
agenda. It was in a previous agenda. No,

25
00:18:19,919 --> 00:18:25,760
no direction was given. So I brought it
back in and for that purpose I think we

26
00:18:23,360 --> 00:18:29,840
should be supporting it. Call the
question. All in favor carried. Any

27
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:33,280
other items council like to bring
forward for discussion? Councelor

28
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:40,080
Noxana.
>> Thank you. 316 Grizzly Valley ATV Club.

29
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:43,440
» Seconder. Councelor Norbury. All in
favor?

30
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:48,960
Carried. Council Nox,
>> thank you. Um, I'm wondering if we

31
00:18:45,360 --> 00:18:53,840
should maybe respond to Mr. Cen that we
are hoping to have conversations

32
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:58,960
surrounding this Fort Service Road and
others at UBCM. Um, and just ensure that

33
00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:01,440
we have all the update updated
information that they might have.

34
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:05,919
They're really knowledgeable in our area
and ensure that uh we can take that

35
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:08,559
knowledge with us to UBCM. So, I'll
motion that we respond to them with

36
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:11,559
that.
>> Secular

37
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:17,600
I'll second it for discussion.
Discussion.

38
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:20,720
Council Norbury.
>> Thank you, Mayor. Can can I get a little

39
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:27,440
clarification on what our motion is
like? Uh we're motioning to meet with

40
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:32,320
the Minister of Transportation to
advocate for the you know keeping the

41
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:35,083
the Forest Service road available. It's
a little vague that's all.

42
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:37,760
» Yeah. So we'll get a council
[clears throat] no talk about but we

43
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:41,919
have already added that to one of our
ministers and that was one of the

44
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:45,679
reasonings. Councelor Nox
>> thank you I don't need to repeat that

45
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:50,480
but yeah talking about about this and
just letting Mr. Crossen know that that

46
00:19:47,679 --> 00:19:53,840
is um slated for UBCM I think and
ensuring that if he has any more

47
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:57,280
information that that we get it to bring
down.

48
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:59,200
» Okay. Any other discussion? Councelor
Norbury.

49
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:02,559
» Thank you mayor. [clears throat] Yeah I
I fully support it. I was of similar

50
00:20:01,120 --> 00:20:06,720
mind that we should be re reaching out
to the minister of ministry of

51
00:20:03,679 --> 00:20:10,400
transportation or to just advocate for
keeping that area open. You know, after

52
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:14,880
hearing about how they have deactivated
previous roads to removed absolutely all

53
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:19,360
access out there, there's got to be some
sort of middle ground to maintain these

54
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:24,080
areas that have been created by
volunteers that are used by our

55
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:26,240
community members and visitors. Keep it
open. I'm sure there's something that we

56
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:29,600
can do. Thanks.
>> Thank you. Any other discussion?

57
00:20:28,559 --> 00:20:32,720
Yeah, [clears throat and cough] and I I
support letting U Mr. Cross know that

58
00:20:31,919 --> 00:20:36,400
we're, you know, this is something
that's on our wicket already or on our

59
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:40,000
radar for UBCM. It wasn't just the Bully
Creek. It's a concept in regards to the

60
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:43,120
Murray Forest Service Road. Now that
it's put been put under the Ministry of

61
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:49,360
Transportation,
it hinders the OVs um using that main

62
00:20:47,360 --> 00:20:54,320
road. So I think that's a discussion to
have a conversation

63
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:57,840
um with uh the minister and then
hopefully when we get back actually

64
00:20:55,600 --> 00:21:04,159
having uh conversations
about staff um regional uh Modi staff as

65
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:08,000
well so they understand what's going on
there in regards to that and I think it

66
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:12,720
was just something that previous
councils had really pushed to get that

67
00:21:09,919 --> 00:21:15,760
road uh upkept and not realizing that
when we did that [clears throat] now

68
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:20,240
going under Ministry of Highways so
there's some locals there when it comes

69
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:23,840
to or OV but if there's a way of of
ministry looking at maybe making an

70
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:27,919
exemption on on that road because it is
a forest service road not under the

71
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:33,400
ministry so support it I'll call the
question all in favor

72
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,400

carried Council Rox,

75
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:55,520
» thank you. We have some correspondence
here from

76
00:21:51,679 --> 00:22:01,520
Constable Jonathan Kout Coat
um about a youth safety project here in

77
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:04,480
Tumblr. And
I'm going to throw out my idea before I

78
00:22:03,360 --> 00:22:08,880
do a motion because I think that we
should have a conversation maybe if

79
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:12,720
anyone else has ideas. Um I was thinking
some pool passes or some rec center one

80
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:16,480
use passes if we wanted to participate
in this program.

81
00:22:15,039 --> 00:22:20,080
» Make a couple comments. I think one we
should reach out to make sure I know

82
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:23,840
they have started this program
um just to make sure there is they need

83
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:27,360
some more stuff for this year if not
look at it for next year but my thing is

84
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:32,320
I think we should have staff just reach
out um communicate that we're looking at

85
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:35,520
to partake and and we can add it to the
motion that if they need more stuff that

86
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:39,679
you know we're looking at swim passes or
whatever but if not if it's something

87
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:46,640
that we can put into 2027 budget
councelor [snorts] no

88
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:52,240
okay so if we preapproved it and And
nobody else has their mics on. I'm going

89
00:22:48,559 --> 00:22:56,799
to motion that we purchase up to a
hundred

90
00:22:53,919 --> 00:23:04,240
dollars worth of one use rec center
passes for the RCMP initiative um out of

91

» Secer. Councelor Hoffman. All in favor?
Carrie. Councelor Knox.

98
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:46,400
» Thank you. Um, this is a resident and
business owner bringing forward a

99
00:23:43,919 --> 00:23:50,640
concern about a ramp that
uh is questioning who installed it. Um,

100
00:23:49,039 --> 00:23:55,120
and I have questions on who installed it
and if it's if it's up to code. So, I

101
00:23:53,120 --> 00:24:01,360
would like to motion that we request
staff to look into this ramp and how to

102
00:23:59,360 --> 00:24:04,400
mitigate the issues if it's ours.
>> Okay. Just before we have a second, we

103
00:24:02,799 --> 00:24:07,520
should also I mean there's some comments
made in here. there's some other

104
00:24:05,919 --> 00:24:11,360
concerns whether it's on his property or
district property should be added into

105
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:14,880
the motion. So I think we should just
ask staff for a full report on this ramp

106
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:18,320
when it was installed whose property is
on and who's maintaining it. That's what

they're looking for.

>> Thank you, Mayor. I just wanted to give

114
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:50,720
an update on this because um you know,
the the South Peace Health Service

115
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:54,880
Society is in discussions with Northern
Health. Um you know, because we're in

116
00:24:53,360 --> 00:24:57,840
negotiations,
I can't really get into specific

117
00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:01,120
details, but I can say that things are
looking positive for the futures of the

118

have some positive news. um when it's

[clears throat] in favor? Carried.

124
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:26,480
Councelor Hoffman.
>> Thank you, Mayor. Um I just thought this

125
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:29,600
was a very well-crafted letter for
somebody that's been using our golf

126
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:33,120
courses. And given that I don't know
anything about this, I just want to know

127
00:25:30,799 --> 00:25:37,520
if this was sort of like on the uh on
the agenda for our uh maintenance or is

128
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:41,679
uh this something we should be looking
into as far as staff's concerned.

129
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:47,600
» Yeah, I mean I made a couple comments. I
think as staff prepares or finishes up

130
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:50,880
2026 with the the budget for some of the
stuff they had on their list, I believe

131
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:56,320
there still is other things on that
list. um you know obviously not budgeted

132
00:25:53,520 --> 00:26:02,000
for in 2026 that we'll see staff come
forward in pre or the next years with

133
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:06,880
you know can't be done all at once. Um I
would think some this is the stuff

134
00:26:03,120 --> 00:26:13,679
that's on their list. Uh, Miss Scott.
>> Um, yeah, mostly this this letter um

135
00:26:11,039 --> 00:26:18,320
talks about um the trees and issues with
the trees. Um, and so the where he

136
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:23,200
mentioned specifically in the tea boxes,
the tea boxes are slated for um

137
00:26:21,120 --> 00:26:30,240
improvement this year. So I I think that
will alleviate some of that. Um, he also

138
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:33,440
mentions how um trees affect irrigation.
I don't think it would be our intention

139
00:26:31,919 --> 00:26:39,279
to bring forward a proposal to get rid
of all of the trees. Um, but it is

140
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:44,799
improvements to the golf course and ways
to mitigate things that affect the golf

141
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:48,320
course are things that we do look at
regularly to bring forward to council as

142
00:26:46,799 --> 00:26:51,520
as as needed.
>> Thank you, Councelor Hoffman.

143
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:58,679
» No, that's I'm good.
>> Okay. Anything else from council in

144
00:26:53,039 --> 00:26:58,679
regards to uh 3.9 Stuart Garland?

145
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:02,960
I think it's I I mean I'm going to make
a comment. And I think it's great that

146
00:27:01,120 --> 00:27:06,400
we have residents or the users of our
golf course or any other thing within

147
00:27:05,039 --> 00:27:09,039
our community actually sending the
letters into correspondence, something

148
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:14,559
that we can, you know, have a
conversation with staff. And again,

149
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:17,200
I think as staff moves forward and, you
know, the golf course is one of the

150
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:21,600
things that was captured by some of the
new staff that Miss Scott has working

151
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:24,799
for in regards to directors are starting
to pick this stuff up and yeah, it may

152
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:29,600
be a little longer. you know, it's
delayed down there, but I think this is

153
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:33,200
what we see. Um, as you have a full team
and and things start coming forward. I

154
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:37,919
think we'll see more of that, you know,
being reactive instead of, you know,

155
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:41,120
being being proactive instead of
reactive to every incident that comes

156
00:27:39,360 --> 00:27:43,279
around. And I think we we start seeing
that now. And, you know, I just

157
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:46,880
appreciate the letter coming in,
especially somebody that's using it and

158
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:48,880
and seen quite a few few issues. And he
talks about it. Took him a couple years

159
00:27:47,919 --> 00:27:52,559
to decide whether he was going to write
this letter or not. So, just want to say

160
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:56,000
I appreciate that. Okay. Okay. Any other
items the council like to bring forward

161
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:59,919
for discussion? Councelor Nobury.
>> Thank you, Mayor. 3.19 Grizzy Vattle

162
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:06,240
Saddle Club for discussion.
>> Second. Councelor Noxana.

163
00:28:03,279 --> 00:28:10,720
Councelor Norbury.
>> Thank you, Mayor. So, this is kind of a

164
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:16,559
followup to the um delegation that we
had come in. I think it's great to see

165
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:19,679
um these volunteers come forward and
trying to make improvements on their

166
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:24,640
their area. So, I'd like to support
them, but I would also like to add a

167
00:28:22,559 --> 00:28:29,440
little bit of a stipulation. Um, and
I'll I'll I'll explain why before I make

168
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:33,360
the motion, but um you know, I I foresee
that there could be a potential for them

169
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:37,600
peacemealing this project out. And I'd
just like to see us have a little bit of

170
00:28:35,039 --> 00:28:40,640
flexibility in that if they um come
forward and say, "Hey, we found a grant

171
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:45,440
for just the fencing, we could give that
versus, you know, um in in addition to

172
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:47,760
the overall project." So,
>> so just before you motion, let's have a

173
00:28:46,799 --> 00:28:50,720
bit more discuss just so we get the
motion right.

174
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:53,520
I have a couple comments to make and you
know one we already have a policy that

175
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:58,000
is in regards to this when it doesn't
cost uh there's no municipality uh

176
00:28:55,760 --> 00:29:00,880
monetary ask that could be some we
already have a policy for that I would

177
00:28:59,700 --> 00:29:04,480
[clears throat] be very careful doing an
open-ended uh just letter like you kind

178
00:29:02,559 --> 00:29:08,399
of mentioned I think if as they come
forward they can send those in but we do

179
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:12,240
have a policy that gives us the mayor
the right if there's no monetary ask I

180
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:16,880
think that could be talked about in that
motion and the only reason I say that is

181
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:20,000
because one that when they do those
requests instead of an open-ended

182
00:29:18,559 --> 00:29:24,080
council is going to support every grant
you ask for. If they send it in, at

183
00:29:22,559 --> 00:29:27,039
least staff can make sure that it
actually is something the town would

184
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:30,480
support like the district supports. It's
not something that we should not be

185
00:29:28,159 --> 00:29:33,840
supporting. Um, you know, don't want to
get into specifics, but there could be

186
00:29:31,919 --> 00:29:36,880
other granting options out there for
something that maybe the municipality

187
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:40,120
would not want their name attached to.
Whether that's

188
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:46,640
tobacco, whatever it may be, we may
have, you know, to meet staff have to

189
00:29:44,559 --> 00:29:49,120
make sure that meets our criteria. and
we're just doing an open-ended grant.

190
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:52,159
They could just use our name for
anything anywhere. So that's the only

191
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:55,919
reason I say that because that I think
that's why previous councils came up

192
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:59,520
with that policy. So that that would be
just my only comment council nor and

193
00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:03,520
that's kind of what I said delegation
and I think it also assists this

194
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:06,960
organization is sometimes the grants are
are certain specific on the wording they

195
00:30:05,039 --> 00:30:10,720
want in the support letters and I think
that also makes a difference when they

196
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:14,480
send them in. It's not about handcuffing
them every time they apply for a grant.

197
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:17,600
It could be a very fast turnaround when
it when it when we talk about that

198
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:20,320
especially with that policy.
>> Council Norbe,

199
00:30:18,559 --> 00:30:24,640
» thank you mayor. So I think then like
our pathway forward in this to still

200
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:28,640
give them that option. I can appreciate
the mayor's office wanting to being able

201
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:32,480
to offer that letter of support but in
some granting um stipulations like we

202
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:35,360
see from organizations is that they want
something from the municipality and I

203
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:39,760
think there would be a distinction
between the office of the mayor and the

204
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:44,000
municipality. I think our opportunity is
that um we give a blanket um

205
00:30:43,191 --> 00:30:48,559
[clears throat]
if the if the the letter of request that

206
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:53,200
they're letter of support that they're
requesting meets the criteria of this

207
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:55,760
grant and meets our policy, we can
provide it.

208
00:30:54,159 --> 00:30:58,159
» Just reach out to Miss Scott.
>> So, so it doesn't come just I don't want

209
00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:02,399
to pay but it doesn't come from the
mayor's office. Comes from the District

210
00:30:59,279 --> 00:31:07,120
of Tumbidge. I just signed it.
>> It's from the District of Tumbidge.

211
00:31:04,799 --> 00:31:10,120
not from the mayor's office as per our
policy.

212
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:18,880
» Okay. Um you know just it it's
interesting to hear that you can speak I

213
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:22,240
mean the mayor's office the mayor can't
speak on behalf of council but if it's

214
00:31:20,159 --> 00:31:26,159
if it's just direction from the district
it should have some support from all of

215
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:28,960
council behind it is my thoughts and
this is what we should be doing.

216
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:32,000
» Yeah. So staffing the policy and make
sure staff meet it meets the criteria of

217
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:36,320
the municipality [clears throat] and
it's fine. There there is one with that

218
00:31:34,559 --> 00:31:38,799
will be coming to the to council because
I don't want to sign it. It was already

219
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:43,120
talked to staff but that front of
council. So I you know I I try to use

220
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:47,279
the best judgment when I'm signing on
behalf and because of the delegation and

221
00:31:45,519 --> 00:31:51,039
and council's comments there. It's
obviously supported by council. So I

222
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:54,720
don't go out leftwing or I don't
personally as the mayor. Um but it has

223
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:57,440
to meet the criteria before anything. So
there will be one coming in September

224
00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:01,519
that I've asked staff to put in front of
council because I want council to have

225
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:06,377
some comments there. So I try to use the
best judgment there, but again the one

226
00:32:03,279 --> 00:32:10,962
that that has popped up, it meets our
[clears throat] municipalities policy as

227
00:32:08,799 --> 00:32:13,679
approved by C previous councils.
[snorts] It could be signed, but I

228
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:18,080
brought it I'll be bringing it forward
in September for for council. So I, you

229
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:20,880
know, it's [clears throat] like this one
here. I I listen to council during the

230
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:25,440
debate. Everybody, I mean, I'm
definitely supportive of of the saddle

231
00:32:23,279 --> 00:32:30,399
club in regards to what they want to do
out there. Again, I just think an

232
00:32:27,679 --> 00:32:33,200
open-ended letter um sometimes that's
not what they're needed for grants

233
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:36,320
anyways and they have to come back which
still can be signed as long as it meets

234
00:32:34,399 --> 00:32:40,480
the criteria. That would just be my only
comments. Not saying that we can't put a

235
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:44,720
motion out there, counselor. I'm just
saying that there is a stipulation

236
00:32:42,399 --> 00:32:48,799
already there.
So, that's whatever direction council

237
00:32:45,919 --> 00:32:53,679
wants to go.
Okay. Any other items council like to

238
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:59,039
bring forward for discussion?
I'd like to bring 3.10 10 for discussion

239
00:32:56,799 --> 00:33:04,320
if I can get a second. Councelor Knox.
All in favor? Carried. My motion would

240
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:11,120
be that council approves uh my travel
and any other costs associated with the

241
00:33:06,559 --> 00:33:15,720
resources uh event.
Sorry, I'm just trying to find where it

242
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,720
is from.

243
00:33:18,399 --> 00:33:23,399
Jeez.
Count.

244
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:33,360
» Yeah.
Yeah. So, it's their BC's 49th technical

245
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:36,720
and research committee and reclamation
and it's coming to Northeast BC. So, I'm

246
00:33:35,279 --> 00:33:42,000
just looking for approval from from
council to support um my attendance from

247
00:33:39,039 --> 00:33:46,320
the September 21st to 24th. So, put that
motion on the floor for a second.

248
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:48,399
Council Norbury. Discussion. Councelor
Roxanna.

249
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:52,240
» Thank you. you. I'm just wondering how
much of this will be out of town and how

250
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:56,240
much will be in or if you know yet. I
>> I don't know. I mean, they do talk about

251
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:59,919
a tour here at Quintet Mine site. They
talk about a tour at site C. They talk

252
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:02,640
about some of it being online and I mean
that's technical stuff. I will not be

253
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:06,880
obviously partaking when it comes to
technical. So, um I did not get a full

254
00:34:05,279 --> 00:34:10,159
schedule. The full event is listed
there. I did not look it up to see where

255
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:13,839
all the events are. I just I would
obviously receive this being uh invited

256
00:34:12,639 --> 00:34:18,320
um as the mayor and I just thought I'd
put in front of council.

257
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:22,480
» Any other discussion?
Call the question. All in favor?

258
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:27,480
Carried.
Any other items council like to bring

259
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,480
forward for discussion?

260
00:34:28,639 --> 00:34:35,359
Okay.
Okay. New business, uh, Tumbidge Trails

261
00:34:33,679 --> 00:34:39,280
and Outdoor Recreation Strategy for
adoption. Report dated August 25th, 2026

262
00:34:37,839 --> 00:34:43,359
from the Director of Economic and
Community Development regarding Tumbidge

263
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:48,320
Trails and Outdoor Recreation Strategy
for adoption. Recommendation,

264
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:51,359
Councelor Nobury.
>> Thank you, Mayor, that the council

265
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:53,200
adopts the Tumbler Ridge Trails and
Outdoor Recreation Strategy as

266
00:34:52,720 --> 00:34:59,599
presented.
>> Second, Councelor Noxana. Uh, Miss

267
00:34:56,720 --> 00:35:03,920
Scott, maybe a quick overview from um
the director of economic development.

268
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:06,960
Uh, even though we're putting it on the
floor, I just think not every, you know,

269
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:09,520
maybe we have some people watching, but
I think it's important just to have a

270
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:14,079
conversation about it. Know council's
obviously read it. I've I've had some

271
00:35:11,359 --> 00:35:17,920
good comments. So, if we may.
>> Um, yes. Thank you. I will ask the

272
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:22,640
director of economic and community
development if she can provide council

273
00:35:19,359 --> 00:35:26,560
with a brief overview of this recreation
strategy. Um, and and maybe highlight

274
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:29,200
some of the changes since last time it
was before council.

275
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:34,240
» Thank you. My apologies. Should asked
you for an overview, not your employee.

276
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:38,240
» Thank you, Miss Scott, and thank you,
mayor and council. Uh so the report

277
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:42,240
before you presents the final Tumblr
Ridge trails and outdoor recreation

278
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:45,760
strategy for adoption. This has been a
collaborative project involving the

279
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:50,320
district, Chora, local recreation
organizations, community partners, and a

280
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:53,520
consulting team. The strategy gives us a
much clearer understanding of the size

281
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:58,240
and condition of our trail network and
establishes a coordinated framework for

282
00:35:55,599 --> 00:36:02,800
future planning. It identifies 108
trails across 13 trail areas

283
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:08,400
representing approximately 1236
kilometers and includes seven goals and

284
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:11,920
129 prioritized recommendations.
The strategy was informed by extensive

285
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:16,560
community and stakeholder engagement
including public input, local recreation

286
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:20,240
organizations, youth, indigenous
outreach, and ongoing review by the

287
00:36:18,240 --> 00:36:22,720
project advisory committee. The
committee brought together

288
00:36:21,119 --> 00:36:26,880
representatives with direct knowledge of
our trail systems, recreation groups,

289
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:30,880
and destination assets, and helped
ensure the final recommendations were

290
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:34,960
grounded in local experience. The
project also resulted in a significant

291
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:39,359
amount of GIS and spatial data that can
support future trail mapping and

292
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:42,880
planning. We had anticipated additional
uh funding through Pacific to further

293
00:36:41,119 --> 00:36:46,960
develop this into a public-f facing web
map, but that funding did not ultimately

294
00:36:45,119 --> 00:36:50,880
materialize. This may be something
council wishes to revisit in a future

295
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:54,800
budget year if uh funding becomes
available. It's important to emphasize

296
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:59,520
that this is a long-term planning
framework, not a commitment to implement

297
00:36:57,119 --> 00:37:03,839
every recommendation. There's no
reliable total implementation costs that

298
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:07,760
could be assigned today. Any actions
requiring district funding, significant

299
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:11,920
staff resources, land decisions,
procurement, regulatory approvals, or

300
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:15,920
indigenous engagement and consultation
would still come back through future

301
00:37:13,599 --> 00:37:19,359
budgets uh or separate reports to
council.

302
00:37:17,599 --> 00:37:23,119
TROA is an important implementation
partner, but the strategy would still

303
00:37:21,119 --> 00:37:27,040
remain valuable if organizational rules
change over time. The inventory,

304
00:37:25,119 --> 00:37:30,720
mapping, priorities, and long-term
direction would still remain in place.

305
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:34,240
That said, Shore brings significant
value through coordination and capacity

306
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:37,920
building, and we certainly hope that
they continue to grow and succeed for

307
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:41,839
many years as a key partner in outdoor
recreation.

308
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:46,160
MRDT is identified as one potential
funding tool to explore. Adoption

309
00:37:44,240 --> 00:37:50,240
tonight does not approve an MRDT
application, a tax rate, or any specific

310
00:37:48,240 --> 00:37:55,040
use of future revenue. It simply keeps
it as an available option for future

311
00:37:52,720 --> 00:37:59,200
consideration. Other communities in our
region are also currently investigating

312
00:37:57,119 --> 00:38:02,240
MRDT and there may be opportunities to
work collectively where it makes sense,

313
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:05,839
including sharing information,
coordinating parts of the process, and

314
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:10,240
learning from one another as we assess
whether it is the right fit for all of

315
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:13,440
our communities. So overall, this
strategy gives the district and our

316
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:16,480
partners a shared direction. It improves
our readiness for grants and

317
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:20,640
partnerships and recognizes trails and
outdoor recreation as important parts of

318
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:25,520
Tumblr Ridg's quality of life, tourism
economy, and long-term economic

319
00:38:23,119 --> 00:38:28,880
resilience. And the recommendation is
that council adopt the strategy as

320
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:34,560
presented. Thank you.
>> Thank you.

321
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:38,079
» Any discussion from council?
>> Council Norbury.

322
00:38:36,079 --> 00:38:44,560
» Thank you, Mayor. Um, I appreciate this
coming back um as a trails and outdoor

323
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:50,160
recreation strategy. Um, because like it
is something that this council set off

324
00:38:46,720 --> 00:38:53,680
early early on, I believe, in one of our
council strategic priorities and that we

325
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:57,200
wanted to have an inventory of all of
our trails to add everything together.

326
00:38:55,440 --> 00:39:04,000
And one of the biggest assets that that
brings um is the usage, the popularity,

327
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:08,480
and then plans to maintain and develop
our our highly soughtafter assets of our

328
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:11,839
trails and our and our natural places.
So, um and then, you know, all these

329
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:15,599
other recommendations to help us
improve, you know, there suggestions

330
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:18,960
that we can grow off of. We can we could
pick some here, pick some there, you

331
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:22,000
know, find a low hanging fruit we can
implement quickly and then, you know,

332
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:25,040
anything that requires more, we could,
you know, we can have that discussion

333
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:31,119
about what's what's required. But having
that framework to start um is is very

334
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:35,440
important and I'm glad it's here and I'm
happy to support it. Thank you.

335
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:38,560
» Thank you. Any other discussion?
>> I just want to say thanks council member

336
00:39:37,119 --> 00:39:41,839
there because that's pretty much what I
was going to say and and I appreciate

337
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:46,160
your comments there. Uh I think it's
been a lot of work from staff side,

338
00:39:43,599 --> 00:39:50,160
other agency sides, this council and
stuff, but um look forward to supporting

339
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:55,680
it.

>> Thank you mayor. Um I at this point in

353
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:59,119
time I don't think this motion is
required and and the reason why is

354
00:40:55,520 --> 00:41:03,440
we have not had a well
um our consistency with Northern Health

355
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:06,800
representatives have been up and down
and we went quite a few meetings without

356
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:11,760
representatives from Northern Health and
we were unsure if they were continuing

357
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:16,160
to attend and I felt that at this
previous meeting um we did not have our

358
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:20,240
Northern Health representative there. We
have some very looming questions about

359
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:23,920
what's happening to our our um family
doctors, what's happening to our

360
00:41:21,359 --> 00:41:27,040
emergency access. Um and if if we don't
have a representative to ask at the

361
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:31,839
table, we need to send a formal letter.
But we did have a health task force

362
00:41:29,839 --> 00:41:36,640
meeting recently where we did have a
representative from Northern Health and

363
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:41,920
um
I'd like to provide an update what came

364
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:46,640
out of that. Um essentially the plan is
that uh there's no plans currently to

365
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:52,240
reduce emergency room access. They plan
to uh continue operating the health

366
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:58,160
center through um locoms, but they were
honest and and said realistically we can

367
00:41:54,160 --> 00:42:02,319
expect to see some closures, which is um
you know, we it's it's a tough thing to

368
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:09,440
hear. So we'll have to continue to
advocate for our community. Um but the

369
00:42:05,839 --> 00:42:15,280
the other big thing was we do have two P
candidates the two P doctors coming and

370
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:20,319
what's the status because with Dr. Pac
leaving you know the Dr. Alamman being

371
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:25,440
the only representative only doctor
there we were unsure if uh those P

372
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:29,359
doctors could still work because they
need to have a mentor mentoy

373
00:42:27,839 --> 00:42:33,520
relationship. They need to have a local
uh lo uh Canadian doctor to oversee them

374
00:42:32,079 --> 00:42:37,359
for six months.
and Northern Health does have a plan in

375
00:42:35,599 --> 00:42:42,880
place to still have them come to our
community. So um we have a doctor lined

376
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:47,040
up for um quarter end of quarter 1,
maybe beginning quarter two and then one

377
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:50,880
in the summer as well. So um that was a
big concern, but the plan is to still

378
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:56,480
have them come. they have a plan on how
they could accommodate their needs. And

379
00:42:53,200 --> 00:43:02,720
um yeah, so unfortunately it's going to
get darker before it gets brighter for

380
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:06,720
us, but um we do have some
um explanation of of future plans. So

381
00:43:04,660 --> 00:43:09,280
[snorts] yeah, um again, I don't think
the the recommendation is needed because

382
00:43:08,240 --> 00:43:13,760
we did get some information from
Northern Health. Thank you.

383
00:43:10,720 --> 00:43:17,359
» Okay. Any other discussion? I make a
couple comments. I actually think the

384
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:22,000
recommendation is still needed. And the
reason I'll say that is it's actually

385
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:25,119
replying not just to this um council and
staff. It's actually replying back to

386
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:28,880
our community. And that's why I would
say that yes, we've heard it. I did was

387
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:32,160
able to attend that and that's great.
Let's put it in writing. If that's what

388
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:35,599
their plan is, put it in writing and
send it back to us and and it's, you

389
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:38,720
know, we're working with Northern
Health, but the reason I say that,

390
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:42,400
Council Norbury, is we have something
that we can say that this was your plan,

391
00:43:41,359 --> 00:43:45,920
but that's not the direction you're
going. So, as your plan changed that you

392
00:43:43,839 --> 00:43:49,520
can refill us in and I think it's it's
about that communication tool and

393
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:53,280
working directly with Northern Health as
a full council as well as a health task

394
00:43:52,079 --> 00:43:57,359
force. But I think it's important to
have that come back. But I also think

395
00:43:54,640 --> 00:44:00,800
that gives um support to the new
minister of health who probably will say

396
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:03,680
the same thing. There probably have to
be that would only be why I say I mean

397
00:44:02,240 --> 00:44:06,720
if council doesn't want to do it I
understand why that you know we did get

398
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:09,680
quite the explanation there at the
health task force but again to me this

399
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:13,040
is you know we have a new health
minister. I know it's going to Northern

400
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:16,560
Health, but I mean there way it may be a
way of capturing that too as we try to

401
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:20,319
meet with him. Not sure how council
feels. Council Norbury.

402
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:25,520
» Yep. Thanks, Mayor. I'll go I'll I'll
motion that the healthcare task force

403
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:29,839
send a letter to Northern Health
requesting what the foreseeable future

404
00:44:28,079 --> 00:44:34,240
will hold for primary care and emergency
room access from September and beyond

405
00:44:31,839 --> 00:44:37,760
with Dr. Pacle's departure and Dr.
Alman's placement ending.

406
00:44:36,319 --> 00:44:38,640

407
00:44:38,240 --> 00:44:44,319
» Yes.
>> Thank you. Just wanted to make sure.

408

Thanks. Uh second council discussion. Uh
thank you for that council. I just think

409
00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:53,160
it's important we get it in paper back
to to the municipality. Call a question.

» Thank you, Mayor. Close different
haircuts. Yeah. [laughter]

439
00:46:54,319 --> 00:46:59,680

I'm leaning but I didn't want to quite

440
00:46:57,839 --> 00:47:05,440
make the recommendation. I think um
option one is the best option for us in

441
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:10,400
that um the in the lease for the naming
rights. It is expiring at in you know

442
00:47:08,079 --> 00:47:13,200
end of quarter three and we leave the
opportunity then for a potential

443

fundraising opportunity for the
nonprofit who's going to take over. Just

444
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:19,920
makes makes perfect sense to continue
what we're doing. Thanks.

445
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:21,599
» Thanks. Any other discussion?
I [clears throat] think somebody just

446
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:23,920
needs to and I'm fine with
recommendation one and it actually

447
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:26,960
takes, you know, a little bit of burden
off staff. The previous one was it was

448
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:31,760
supposed to be through the district and
it actually didn't end up happening that

449
00:47:28,720 --> 00:47:35,520
way anyways. So to me, this is is it's
fair to the person that is that gets the

450
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:39,440
