Holiday Events and Programs

Many things to do this holiday season, from camps for kids, free concerts, Christmas tree lighting on the Great Lawn, to parties and benefits. Find these and more in the guide: http://westvancouverrec.ca/holidayhappenings

============================================================================================

---> Preparing this Headsup this afternoon was frustrated when, seeing this, I cdn't find the time and worried

there was a conflict with the totem-raising, etc in H Bay. I saw this, but no time for the Christmas tree lighting!

CHRISTMAS TREE LIGHTING

The West Vancouver Community Centres Society invites you to the annual Christmas tree lighting on the Great Lawn. We’ll have a tree ornament craft table for the kids, and the North Shore Celtic Ensemble will spread some cheer with music and carolling! After the tree lighting, join us for a free skate from 6:15 У 7:45 p.m., or free swim from 6:30 У 8 p.m. with the donation of a non-perishable food item for the food bank.

West Vancouver Community Centre

Fri		All Ages		Dec 5
		Free		4:30 - 6 p.m.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maybe I'll tell the whole story another time but suffice to say I called the Hall to see where the info was b/c I'd missed it. A v helpful staff mbr (Tanya) showed me the four clicks to get to some info but I was concerned residents wdn't be able to wind their way since I cdn't have. One answer she got was not enough room. I suggested perhaps having a separate holiday calendar then. Anyway, she and her colleague took over, saying that they'd have it fixed in an hour or two.

It's now on the main calendar:

CHRISTMAS TREE LIGHTING

Dec 5, 2014 - 4:30 pm to 6:00 pm

Location: Great Lawn, Community Centre, 2121 Marine Drive

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

but no time given -- assume it's 4:30?

SUGGESTION

To promote cmnty cohesion and shared experiences, why not have someone co├╢rdinating special events so there are no conflicts? Actually I thought there was one (or someone whose responsibility wd seem to include that). Not necessarily to involve approval, rather schedule times so no conflicts. How can we get to both? don't want to miss any WV fun!

It's holiday season -- let's have fun! ===================================================================================================================

DELEGATIONS

4. D. Mason, NSh Emergency Mgmt Ofc (NSEMO), re NSh Emergency Mgmt Update (File: 0180-16)

Mayor: Dorrit Mason

DM: tri-M org; formed in 1978 when apparent we live in earthquake territory and bridges cd fail.

Emergency Plan Bylaw follows BC Govt Act

hazards and risks; recently major rain storm

understand; mitigation -- you're taking steps to deal with foreshore

preparing; training and exercises, plans NSh-wide SLIDES

NSh Crisis Communications plan

Interface Wildfire Working Group -- bring together; working relationships; Red Cross

Earthquake drill, drop and cover

response and recovery; can activate our emergency operations ctr

Nov 3 and 4 did -- prov and fed

structure in place; lent us cots

Mayor, you're in this picture; you also have a role; leadership continues...

volunteers, many support us; relationship with NGOs; staff in the field or in emerg ops ctr; we are public servants; all have a role to support our cmnties

Mayor: must have been a real bad emergency with the dour look on my face

{laughter}

DM: that was during our exercise last year; you came [on] a tour, and in fact I'd like to invite you all to come on our exercise as well

Most importantly it's about the ppl that we serve -- SLIDE is of 2006 when windstorm, we opened up an evacuation ctr (Seascapes)...

a prepared cmnty recovers better, we've seen this

become personally prepared, think of who depends on you; take one step further -- what have I done to prepare for that?

leave you with one thought; disasters always happen; disasters are always a disaster

Emerg Mgmt help us become more disaster resilient.

Sop: the av citizen wd be on his own for 72 hours.

DM: correct

Sop: Fire Dept meet with apt residents and ask them to be sure to have disaster kit

great work you've done prepares diff services to go into action

what is done getting the word out to the families?

DM: tyvm for raising that. Really important all citizens prepared for a min of 72 hours b/c if we have a major disaster/earthquake is b/c bldgs are going to be collapsed. We'll be struggling to find out where are resources are and prioritize responses. Will be completely overwhelming for response services, so critical citizens be prepared to look after themselves

We provide public awareness training, we have two courses coming up -- Dec 1st and Dec 3rd -- attend if you're available in the evening. We also have information on our website; social media an important component to get info out.

hi rise dwellers an area we need to focus on; have a new co-ordinator for them and dog-walkers, another group.

broader responsibility to bldg mgmt.

Sop: may be provincial; recently a flood and some funds

a few years ago a disaster and no funds available

what is the disaster level that it wd be considered for help rather than citizens on their own?

DM: the Disaster Financial Assistance that was offered/available for Nov 3/4 was b/c "overland flooding" and you can't buy insurance so the prov made available up to $300K per prop owner, depending on their assessment.

b/c an uninsurable loss

Sop: is a creek overflow by debris something an individ homeowner insure against?

DM: we cannot as a homeowner purchase anything for overland flooding, and that wd be if a debris-flow caused the "over-topping' of a creek that wd be what wd happen

Sop: it was a creek flood and went over the road into five homes, no recourse for provincial funding through NSEMO; quick question then

Mayor: Cclr Booth

MAB: Emerg Response Personnel and BC Hydro

burying more lines? wd that protect them

DM: don't know about that

Fire Depts act differently

Sop: Dorrit brought in more changes; credit

MOTION: received for information, with thanks.

still don't have a vision of what Amb shd look like; what shd it look like? what is the theme? shd not be a town ctr

precinct? 14 to 1900 block

this is a work in progress

NG: a Q wrt Hollyburn Sailing Club -- asked about it during the last four weeks

follow up on reticulation; a cpl of pieces that need to come together

alluded to two reports, done study and analysis, ABA and BIA: first Q working with current owners critical -- what are the first steps

Sokol: working with the ABA, a mailing to prop owners in the commercial district -- what goals are, what do, achieve prop improvements......

MAB: excellent; looking at CAC policy and funds from 1300; you've looked at clarifying CACs

Sokol: CACs in flux

when rezoning, based on Uplift, 75% of uplift of

working with our solicitors as to what is the best practice in the prov and around the prov

{Let's hope Ccl asks residents' opinions too!

Heard of a devpr offering CACs, all of wch wd enhance his own devt!}

MAB: again getting to back to Sop

differentiate PkR, Amb

any other vision around that focus

how CAAD is going to move forward

Sokol: if we were to go toe-to-toe with PkR we'd lose miserably

arts and culture {GET THIS}

we have a waterfront and that's a huge advantage &&&

MAB: excellent

electronic signature for impressions are affixed.

7. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS BY MAYOR SMITH

Mayor Smith: I am looking forward to the next four years with this team. To be successful we will need to draw on the talents of all of us. From Councillor Soprovich, a man of few words but when he does speak, he does so with the experience of 18 years on Council, to Councillor Cassidy who brings enthusiasm and her business background, we will be seven people committed to doing our best for our community. We are fortunate to be supported by a fine staff who Nina Leemhuis assures me thrive on hard work and getting results.

In business, successful organizations focus on their products and services but most importantly, their customers. We will do well to deliver excellent programs and services effectively and efficiently but most importantly, listen to our residents.

There are many challenges ahead -- a new building beside this Hall to provide a secure home for our Police Dept. and address some of our other space issues: what to do with the Coastal Health property, our Upper lands, and our other District properties. How do we realize the potential for our Ambleside waterfront properties and how can we use this plan to re-energize our Ambleside commercial District, which like our other villages needs focus, ideas, and help from this Council.

An immediate challenge we will have to address is the desire in the community for new policies covering house size and design. People take pride in their neighbourhoods and want to retain those qualities that attracted them to live there. How this can happen while still respecting the right of owners to redevelop their property will be a difficult task but one that can best be achieved by respecting and listening to all points of view. I look forward to this process beginning shortly.

There are many Council Committees, Working Groups, and Boards that we will be represented on in West Vancouver as well as at the Metro level. These are excellent opportunities for us to both hear from the public and make sure the interests of our citizens are advanced. I am sure this group of seven will do this well.

I’ve said enough, please join us at the West Vancouver Museum for reception.

Proposed Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 4360, 2004, Amendment Bylaw No. 4797, 2014 (to amend the OCP to incorporate minor revisions based on cmnty and agency input in order to update WV’s Regional Context Statement to align with “Metro Vancouver: 2040Э, MetroV’s Regional Growth Strategy) (File: 1610-20-4797)

The Director of Planning, Land Devt and Permits will describe the subject application.

Applicant: The Corporation of the District of West Vancouver

Subject Land: All lands within West Vancouver

Purpose: The proposed bylaw would amend the OCP to update WV’s Regional Context Statement to align with “Metro Vancouver: 2040Э, the new Regional Growth Strategy.

Proposed OCP Bylaw Amendment: WV’s current Regional Context Statement was adopted in June 2004, as a required component of the OCP. It is contained within the “Framework for ActionЭ section of the OCP, and describes how our municipal plan supports the strategies of Metro Vancouver’s 1996 Livable Region Strategic Plan.

In 2011, the MetroV Regional Bd adopted a new Regional Growth Strategy, titled “Metro Vancouver: 2040Э. Under the LGA, the District is required to adopt a revised Regional Context Statement to demonstrate municipal alignment with the Regional Growth Strategy. This type of amendment is administrative in scope in that it does not propose any substantive change in local policy.

If adopted, the proposed Amendment Bylaw wd amend the “Framework for ActionЭ section of the OCP by replacing the existing Regional Context Statement with an updated one, comprised of the following:

1. A revised narrative statement;

2. A statement of compliance between the policies of the OCP and the Regional Growth Strategy;

3. A new Regional Land Use Designations Map (showing applicable regional land use designations w/in WV);&

4. A new Transportation and Goods Movement Map.

The Regional Context Statement describes how existing District policies are (or will be made) consistent with the Regional Growth Strategy; and what additional policies will be required to address regional planning objectives, via the next OCP update starting in 2015.

The date of the first establishment a monarchical form of government in parts of the territory which now forms Canada varies: some sources give the year as 1497, when King Henry VII claimed parts of Newfoundland, while others put it at 1534, when New France was founded in the name of King Francis I.
