Executive Summary
The Bridge River Valley Community Association (BRVCA) currently holds the land tenure for a small
parcel on Sunshine Mountain near Bralorne, BC. The tenure includes a small cabin that is currently used
by local residents as a hub for recreation activities including backcountry skiing, snowshoeing, hiking,
mountain biking, snowmobiling, and ATVing. The trail network surrounding Bralorne represents a
significant amenity and the alpine cabin is a key component to the tenure. While the cabin is currently
being used for social gatherings, staging and as an emergency shelter, the Bralorne Recreation Area
Advisory Committee (BRAAC) has identified a number of potential opportunities that will be pursued in
the future through an expanded mechanized-use Adventure Tourism tenure.
The Bridge River Valley Community Association, a non-profit society, will hold the license of occupation
for the expanded tenure which will be overseen by the BRVCA and managed by the Bralorne Community
Advisory Committee (BCAC). The Bralorne Recreation Area Advisory Committee, a sub-committee of the
BCAC will manage operations of the Bralorne Recreation Area – Sunshine Mountain (BRA).
The tenure area is located on Sunshine Mountain, upslope of the confluence of Cadwallader Creek and
Noel Creek, 2.4 km from Bralorne, BC. The proposed tenure is 1222 ha in size. The tenure is accessed
via the East Hurley Forest Service Road.
These identified opportunities include tree clearing for gladed ski runs, as well as road and trail
construction within a proposed expansion area for winter activities that include snowshoeing, backcountry
skiing, and potentially snowmobile skiing.
The BRVCA also intends to develop areas for summer activities such as hiking, mountain biking, ATVing,
disc golf, wiffle golf, interpretive experiences and events. These experiences will have a user pay
component, but will be primarily volunteer run, with paid staff. Local full and part time residents and
recreation visitors will comprise the client base for all activities.
These activities will be supported by a series of improvements including gladed ski runs, 2 cabins (the
existing base cabin and an alpine hut), a 4X4/snowcat access road, outhouses, a base area parking lot, a
bicycle pump track, disc golf and waffle golf courses, a camping area and a series of mountain bike trails.
Additional future uses include X-C skiing, ski jumping, an artisan centre, interpretive experiences and
events. At full operation the BRA is expected to have over 5000 client visits annually.
The BRVCA plans to hire a paid Bralorne Recreation Area Coordinator and a paid Bralorne Recreation
Area Maintenance Manager to handle the day-to-day operations of Sunshine Mountain in the future. The
BRVCA intends to make the Bralorne Recreation Area – Sunshine Mountain more accessible to guests
by developing and re-designing the area and establishing infrastructure to support the recreation area in
the future.
In support of the BRA, a Code of Ethics was developed to guide users and guests while on Sunshine
Mountain. In addition, waivers will be developed for signature by all participants.
The Lillooet Tribal Council has participated in the organizational meeting and on the advice of their
representative, Matt Manuel, four Bands were contacted for input and communication is ongoing:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Bridge River (Xwisten)
Seton Lake (Tsalalth)
Anderson Lake (N'quatqua)
Lillooet (T'it'q'et)
Fish and wildlife values are not expected to be impacted by the activities carried out by the BRA. No
Species At Risk Act (SARA) species are expected to be affected by operation of BRA.
Mineral prospecting and mining has occurred in the past and may be anticipated in the future on or near
Sunshine Mountain. Timber harvesting is ongoing on Sunshine Mountain.

1 Introduction
The Bridge River Valley Community Association currently holds the land tenure for a small parcel on
Sunshine Mountain near Bralorne, BC (Incorporation # 12,949). The tenure includes a small cabin and
the right of way for the old rope tow. The cabin is still in place and is currently used by local residents as
a community hub for recreation activities including backcountry skiing, hiking, mountain biking,
snowmobiling, and ATVing. An initial town hall meeting of interested individuals was held on June 20,
2013, to discuss future opportunities for Sunshine Mountain. Subsequently, the Bralorne Community
Advisory Committee (BCAC) struck a sub-committee called the Bralorne Recreation Area Advisory
Committee. The Bralorne Recreation Area Advisory Committee (BRAAC) met five times over the summer
and fall of 2014 to refine its focus and concepts. BRAAC decided to focus its efforts on the “adventure
sector”, targeting the community of Bralorne and Goldbridge, along with second homeowners in the
community, as well as Whistler, Pemberton and Vancouver. BRAAC developed this plan for a proposed
tenure expansion under the name Bralorne Recreation Area – Sunshine Mountain. This management
plan is guided by the statements of mission, vision, goals and objectives developed by BRAAC:
Mission: To create and maintain a year-round community outdoor recreation area that benefits residents,
businesses and visitors alike.
Vision: To build and promote recreational and adventure amenities that enhance quality of life for local
residents while generating sustainable business and economic development opportunities and supporting
long-term prosperity.
Goal: To be the most respected, well known, and unique backcountry recreation area in the world.
Objectives:
1. Establish a backcountry recreation area with amenities
2. Encourage multiple uses over all 4 seasons
3. Develop and maintain 2 cabins (top and bottom)
4. Establish gladed ski runs and trails and other recreational amenities, including:
a. Ski runs
b. Bike trails
c. ATV trail
d. Hiking trails
e. Disc golf course
f. Pump track
g. Wiffle golf course
5. Be well maintained
6. Be well known
7. Embrace the history and culture of the area and educate visitors on the area’s unique heritage
Skiing on Sunshine Mountain has a long and proud history; as evidenced by recognition in the Chicago
Tribune in 1955 (http://archives.chicagotribune.com/1955/01/30/page/166/article/canada-has-widevariety-of-skiing-fun). Initially developed by the Bralorne and Pioneer Mines in the 1930’s, a second,
longer rope tow was added for the 1958/59 ski season (Communicator, 1958). After the Bralorne Mine
ceased operation in 1973, the ski hill was abandoned until a proposal to re-develop and expand the area
was put forward in 1978. Sunshine Mountain was taken over by the newly formed BRVCA in 1979, and
the first Licence of Occupation was granted under file # 0348215. While the resort development proposal
was never pursued, the tenure has been maintained by the BRVCA, acting for the community, since that
time. The existing rustic cabin was originally used as the ski chalet for the Sunshine Mountain Ski Area in
the 1950s and is now maintained year round by volunteers, and used by its constituents and visitors to
the area. Historic documentation is included in Error! Reference source not found. of this Management
Plan.

The BRVCA provides opportunities for recreational activities on Sunshine Mountain, including skiing and
snowboarding in the winter and mountain biking and hiking in the summer. These activities are supported
by the existing Sunshine Mountain cabin. The cabin is also used as a warming hut and social centre for
locals participating in various outdoor recreational activities including ATV and snowmobiling.
In an area with limited recreational infrastructure, the trail network around Bralorne constitutes a
significant amenity and the Sunshine Mountain cabin is a key component. The rustic cabin is maintained
and used year round by the BRVCA, its members and visitors to the area.
The activities and land uses described in this Management Plan will continue as operations under
the non-profit Bridge River Valley Community Association.
While the concept of a land-based community amenity was developed independently, the vision for the
Bralorne Recreation Area – Sunshine Mountain is similar to those of the Hankin-Evelyn Recreation Areas
in the Bulkley Valley, BC (http://www.hankinmtn.com/) and the Crystal Ridge Sled Skiing area near
Valemount, BC (http://www.ridevalemount.com/sled-skiing/). All three areas are community recreation
amenities that are operated by a local not for profit society. The tenure scheme varies greatly between
the three largely due to the pressures placed on the land by other resource interests. Hankin-Evelyn are
registered recreation areas managed by Recreation Sites and Trails BC of the Ministry of Forests, Lands
and Resource Operations (FLNRO). Crystal Ridge is also managed by Recreation Sites and Trails, but
the mechanism is a Section 56 trail agreement under Forest and Range Practices Act (FRPA) and a
Section 118 management agreement. The preferred approach for Bralorne Recreation Area – Sunshine
Mountain is a Licence of Occupation under the BC Adventure Tourism Policy for extensive use on Crown
land described in this Management Plan. Within that extensive use area there is an additional intensive
use site and an existing, separate General Commercial Licence of Occupation (#346794). While all three
approaches provide stakeholder status, this approach is preferred because it will allow BRVCA to make
improvements on the land in accordance with this management plan.
2 Description of the Operation and Activities
2.1
General Description of Operation
Existing Activities
The Bridge River Valley Community Association is a non-profit society, operating out of the South
Chilcotin area and including the communities of Bralorne, Goldbridge, Gun Lake, and Tyaughton Lake.
Projects and interests specific to the community of Bralorne are overseen by the Bralorne Community
Advisory Committee, which has a sub-committee dedicated to the maintenance and promotion of
Sunshine Mountain. The BRVCA holds the general commercial tenure in the form of a Licence of
Occupation (#346794) for the Sunshine Mountain ski area, near Bralorne, BC (BC Lands file # 0348194).
Both Certificates of Incorporation are included in Error! Reference source not found. of this
Management Plan. The Bralorne Community Advisory Committee of the BRVCA oversees community
initiatives in Bralorne. Sunshine Mountain is maintained by a group of volunteers forming BRAAC, a subcommittee of the BCAC.
The BRVCA provides local organization and community services, including infrastructure for recreational
activities on Sunshine Mountain, such as:
 skiing and snowboarding in the winter, and
 mountain biking and hiking, in the summer.
These activities are supported by the existing Sunshine Mountain cabin. The cabin is also used as a
warming hut and social centre for locals participating in the above activities and in motorized recreation
including dirt biking, ATVing and snowmobiling.
2
In an area with limited recreational infrastructure, the trail network around Bralorne represents a
significant community amenity and the Sunshine Mountain cabin is a key component. In the summer of
2012, timber harvesting activities were conducted on Sunshine Mountain by Aspen Planners. The
community was concerned about the threat timber harvesting posed to popular local recreational areas,
particularly Sunshine Mountain with its long history of use. This generated a renewed interest in
improving the recreational infrastructure to not only further develop a community asset, but also to attract
visitors and potentially generate revenues to help cover operational and improvement costs. The BRAAC
held a series of visioning sessions to develop and clarify plans for these improvements. The activities
described herein are the output of those sessions. The uses described in this Management Plan will
continue as non-profit operations by the BRVCA.
2.1.1
Area Overview
The tenure area is located mid-slope on the north-western flank of Sunshine Mountain. The area is
directly south of Bralorne and across the Cadwallader Creek valley and immediately upslope of the
existing and proposed confluence of Noel Creek. The current tenure is 2.4 km from the town of Bralorne,
at an elevation of 1440 m above sea level, in Electoral Area A of the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District
(SLRD).
The proposed tenure expansion covers 1222 ha and includes unsurveyed crown land in the McKinley
Creek, President Creek, Extension Creek, and Crazy Creek drainages. The area is a traditional
recreation amenity and its use dates back beyond 1950 (Photo 1). Hereafter referred to as Bralorne
Recreation Area - Sunshine Mountain (BRA), the area shares multiple resource use interests including
forestry, prospecting, and trapping.

Plans for Bralorne Recreation Area – Sunshine Mountain include selective glading to improve skiable
terrain and constructing two roads, one travelling the same general alignment as the current ATV trail and
one lower road on the northeast flank of Sunshine Mountain, leading back to the cabin.
Access to Sunshine Mountain is via a Forest Service Road (FSR) that connects to the East Hurley FSR
and the town of Bralorne. The East Hurley FSR connects to the Hurley River Road FSR, which connects
to the Pemberton Meadows Road and Highway 99 in Pemberton to the south. To the northeast,
Sunshine Mountain can be accessed via Gold Bridge and Lillooet (Map 1).

2.1.3
Proposed Improvements
BCAC plans to make improvements within the proposed tenure area over time to increase its value to the
community and visitors. All lift infrastructure was removed from the lift Right of Way. The following
improvements are contemplated in support of the existing and proposed activities described in this
management plan.

Tree Skiing Glades
BRAAC wishes to conduct tree spacing activities and develop a mix of trail opportunities on the slopes of
Sunshine Mountain. Treed areas in desirable recreation areas are proposed to be gladed to allow for
skiing during high avalanche hazard or storm conditions and for trail construction. Glading will also allow
for skiing below the existing cabin with skiers either touring back up to the cabin or being picked up on
existing resource roads by snowmobiles.. Proposed stand thinning will be submitted to FLNRO as part of
a License-to-Cut application. A operational forest management plan will will include, but not be limited to
harvest, spacing, silviculture, pest and fire management plans prepared by qualified professionals. As
part of the feasibility studies for the area, a slope analysis was conducted with an aim to identifying
potential glading areas. These zones are shown in Map 2 and in Map .
Road Construction
The access road is an unmaintained resource road and is overgrown. Periodic brushing and road
maintenance may be required in the future to keep it passable for 4X4 vehicles.
There is currently an ATV trail connecting the cabin to the alpine. To ensure safety and support rescue
operations, the BCAC wishes to construct a road along the same general alignment as the ATV trail. The
road will replace the ATV trail and will be wide enough to accommodate a snowcat in the winter and 4X4
vehicles in the summer, providing access to the proposed alpine cabin for events and emergency
vehicles. The ATV trail is not a designated recreation trail, and there are no designated recreations trails
in the expansion area.
Trail Construction
The trails system around the cabin may be improved with the cabin acting as the hub for the activities.
Notably, the mountain bike trail Alphagetti was damaged by timber harvesting activities and needs to be
reinstated. The BCAC intends to restore this trail and build several other mountain bike trails accessed
via the ATV trail / road and ending in the vicinity of the Base Cabin. The existing ATV trail contains
several steep sections that pose a safety hazard and are prone to excessive erosion. The trail will be realigned to avoid steep sections and allow for access by snowcat to the alpine area.
Mountain bike trails have yet to be planned, and will be designed and filed at a later date. Any proposed
trail construction will be submitted to the BC Ministry of Forests, Land and Natural Resource Operations
(FLNRO) for authorization.
Cabins and Structures
Base Cabin
The existing tenured cabin at the base of the recreation area is a rudimentary backcountry lodge and has
no running water. It will be preserved and renovated to conform to SLRD building code standards over
time. Power will be provided by a portable generator.
Base Area Outhouse
A composting type outhouse will be constructed near the Base Cabin. During special events porta-potties
are brought in and picked up by an authorized service provider.
Base Area Parking
An area near the Base Cabin will be graded for parking to accommodate the visitors and to demarcate
the upper extent of the access by the public to the recreation area.
8
Alpine Cabin
An alpine cabin is planned for the top of the ATV trail/road. This cabin would serve as a warming hut for
winter ski touring, an emergency shelter, and a staging area for events.
Alpine Outhouse
A pit toilet will be constructed near the Alpine Cabin.
Disc and Wiffle Golf Courses
Wiffle Golf
The wiffle golf course is proposed for the area surrounding the existing cabin as a summer activity for
residents, visitors, and groups. The course will consist of constructed tees and holes, all of which will be
temporary and portable.
Disc Golf
The disc golf course is proposed for the area surrounding the existing cabin as a summer activity for
residents, visitors, and groups. The course will consist of constructed disc golf holes (Photo 3), all of
which will be temporary and portable.
Photo 3: Sample Disc Golf Hole
Bike Pump Track
In an effort to meet the objective of being a family recreation area, a pump track will be developed near
the Base Cabin to add to the range of both age groups and activities offered to visitors. The pump track
will be mainly earthen in its initial phases and may be expanded if demand grows.
2.1.4
Access
All clients/guests access the Base Cabin via 4X4 road in the summer and by snowmobile in the winter.
Motorized access beyond the Base Cabin will be restricted in favour of non-motorized recreational use.
The Base Cabin will be the access portal to the BRA.
2.1.5
Staff
The Base Cabin is un-staffed but is maintained through the coordinated efforts of the BRVCA, its Board of
Directors and local volunteers. The BRVCA plans to hire a paid coordinator (BRA coordinator) and a paid
(BRA) maintenance manager to handle the day-to-day operations of Sunshine Mountain in the future.

Recreation Activities Offered On Crown Land
The BRAAC plans to manage the area for primarily non-motorized activities such as skiing, snowshoeing,
mountain biking, hiking, wiffle golf, and disc golf on the proposed expansion area. These experiences will
have a user pay component, but will be primarily volunteer run, with locals and small numbers of guests
making up the client base for all activities. Current plans do not promote snowmobiling, ATVing, or dirt
biking above the Base Cabin. However, an adaptive management approach will be used to adjust the
types of uses promoted within the BRA.
The BRAAC is particularly interested in partnering with the St’at’imc First Nation to bring school and
community groups from St’at’imc communities to the area for field trips or educational experiences.
The BRAAC hopes to host groups and events ranging from commercial film crews to weddings to the
annual Bralorne Winterfest.
Proposed Activities
While the cabin is currently being used for social gatherings, staging and as an emergency shelter, the
Bralorne Recreation Area Advisory Committee has identified a number of potential opportunities that will
be pursued in the future. These opportunities include an expanded range of activities and events along
with development of infrastructure to support them.
Proposed New Activities:
 snowshoeing and snowmobile assisted backcountry skiing,
 X-C skiing,
 ski jumping,
 disc golf,
 wiffle golf,
 biking on a pump track,
 camping,
 artisan centre with carving and gatherings, and
 interpretive experiences.
Proposed Events:
 Weddings and celebrations,
 Bralorne Reunion (tied into existing event),
 Backcountry Picnic,
 Summerfest,
 Winterfest (tied into event),
 Tough mudder type events,
 Mountain bike events,
 Conference related events, and
 Ski events (i.e. Spring Slush Cup).
2.2.1
Description of Experience
Upon arrival at the Base Cabin, members, visitors and guests will be presented with a Code of Conduct
outlining the expectations of the community for participation in the BRA.
16
Code of Conduct – Bralorne Recreation Area – Sunshine Mountain
1. Respect – Wildlife, Locals, Visitors and Sunshine Mountain
2. Pack In and Pack Out Everything
3. Be Fire Safe
4. Leave It Better
5. Stay on Designated Routes
6. You are Your Own Rescue Team – Be Prepared and Self Reliant
7. Love the Bears (and all wildlife)
8. Have Fun
Waivers will be provided at the base area and all visitors must sign a waiver prior to entering the BRA or
using any of its facilities. Waivers will be included in memberships.
2.2.1.1
Summer Activities
Hiking
Hikers can park their 4X4 vehicles at the Base Cabin and hike up Sunshine Mountain. Hiking trips can be
single or multi-day, using the cabin as the staging area.
Interpretive trails will be constructed in partnership with the St'át'imc First Nation. Features will include
educational signage about traditional use of the area, as well as educational and interpretive signage
about the area’s mining history and the long-standing tradition of skiing in the area.
Biking
Motorized (dirt bikes) and non-motorized (mountain bikes) can start from the cabin for rides down to
Bralorne or up into Sunshine Bowl, with bikers leaving their 4X4 vehicles at the cabin (Photo 1, Photo 4).
Motorized and non-motorized bikers will be restricted to the trail network to protect the soils from erosion
and maintain the vegetation cover.
ATV Access
As with snowmobiles, ATVs generally start from Bralorne and make use of the Forest Service and
resource roads as well as some of the trails. However ATV use on BRA will be managed and ATVs are
not to use the open slopes of Sunshine Mountain in order to protect the soils from erosion and maintain
the vegetation cover.
Disc Golf
The disc golf course will start at the Base Cabin, with the course constructed in the area immediately
surrounding the cabin. Improvements will include installation of disc golf baskets throughout the forest.
Wiffle Golf
The wiffle golf course will be constructed in the same general area as the disc golf course. Improvements
will include platforms for teeing off and holes with markers.
17
Photo 4: Summer use of the existing cabin by mountain bikers.
Interpretive Opportunities
Interpretive opportunities will focus on the following aspects:
 First Nations
 Cultural History, Gold Rush and Mining, Post Mining Era
 Natural History, Flora and Fauna
BRAAC plans to work with the St'át'imc First Nation to investigate interests and develop interpretive
signage or themed learning opportunities as a part of the base area experience. Possibilities include
signage at each golf hole, creating a “cultural journey” throughout the course, and including local First
Nations carvings in the course infrastructure, specifically the disc golf baskets.
2.2.1.2
Winter Activities
Skiing
Skiing primarily consists of snowmobile access ski touring. Currently, ski tourers access the cabin by
snowmobile and skin up the ATV trail to access the alpine (Photo 5). While the BRVCA seeks permission
to allow snowmobiles to the top of the ATV trail, the BRVCA currently plans to only use them for events or
emergency access. The BRVCA currently wishes to continue to only allow public snowmobile access to
the existing Base Cabin, with the potential for opening the ATV trail or proposed road to public
snowmobile access at a later date. Skiing will take place throughout the tenure area, with lower-mountain
skiing on “gladed runs” – areas where trees have been strategically removed to make the forest passable
for skiers. Users will be required to carry proper avalanche equipment.
18
Snowshoeing
Snowshoeing will take place throughout the tenure, but will likely be concentrated on summer mountain
biking and hiking trails. Any snowshoers venturing into alpine areas will be required to carry proper
avalanche equipment.
Snowmobiling
Snowmobiles generally stage from Bralorne in the winter, but may use the Base Cabin as a way
station/warming hut during the course of their day’s activities. Snowmobiles may also be used to assist
skiers and snowboarders to access the slopes of Sunshine Mountain and the cabin is used as a warming
hut by a variety of winter users. However, the open slopes of Sunshine Mountain are reserved for skiing
and snowboarding in the winter, and snowmobiles are not to use the slopes. Snowmobiles can be used
to access the cleared area for the existing decommissioned rope tow above the cabin and only on the
designated trail in order to keep the ski slopes for skiing.

Intensive Use Sites
The Base Cabin is the only existing intensive use site within the BRA. Its current Licence of Occupation
is for Commercial Use. The intent is to convert the Licence to either a Lease or to purchase the property
at some future date. The proposed Alpine Cabin will also be an intensive use site, but under the
Adventure Tourism Licence of Occupation.

Potable water is brought to the staging area by the BRVCA and visitors carry their own water.
o

No water storage required, therefore Ministry of Health Services was not contacted.
No toilet facilities available; a pit toilet is planned for the future.
Prior to carrying out any improvements within the tenure area, including but not limited to, a pit toilet or ski
lift installation, the BRVCA will contact the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations.
At some point in the future, water and septic servicing may be developed for the base area.

3 Overlap with Environmental and Cultural Values
3.1
First Nations
The area of Sunshine Mountain falls within the St'át'imc Nation traditional lands. The St'át'imc Nation is
represented by the Lillooet Tribal Council. BRVCA is not aware of any past issues with First Nations and
none are anticipated as a result of continued use of the tenure. Matt Manuel, Natural Resources
Coordinator, Lillooet Tribal Council, was invited to participate in meetings as a member of BRAAC. Mr.
Manuel declined membership, but continues to provide advice regarding First Nations interests.
“The St'át'imc Chiefs Council (SCC) consists of political representatives from the 11 communities within
the St'át'imc Nation. These communities include Bridge River (Xwisten), Pavilion (Ts'kw'aylacw), Cayoose
Creek (Sekw'el'was), Mt. Currie (Lil'wat), Seton Lake (Tsalalth), Lillooet (T'it'q'et), Fountain (Xaxl'ip),
Anderson Lake (N'quatqua), Douglas (Xa'xtsa), Skatin and Samahquam. Each community representative
has a seat at the St'át'imc Chiefs Council table” (St’at’imc Nation, 2008). Mr. Manuel provided “a high
level update to the LTC Chiefs Council.” On the advice of Matt Manuel, BCAC contacted the following
bands regarding this project:
1. Bridge River (Xwisten)
2. Seton Lake (Tsalalth)
3. Anderson Lake (N'quatqua)
23
4. Lillooet (T'it'q'et)
Communications with each of the bands are ongoing at this time and the record of referrals and
responses is found in Error! Reference source not found..(confidential)
3.2
Fish Values
Four watercourses occur within the tenure; McKinley Creek, President Creek, Extension Creek, and
Crazy Creek. Cadwallader and Noel Creeks are located nearby and downslope of the tenure area.
According to the BC Fisheries Information Summary System (FISS), Cadwallader Creek is known to
contain rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus). While there is no
information available for Noel Creek or any of the aforementioned tributaries of Cadwallader Creek, these
water bodies should all be expected to provide habitat for the same fish species. Fisheries habitat values
are not expected to be affected by operation of the BRA.
3.3
Wildlife Values
This section is intended to address the following:
 Whether, where and when there are sensitive wildlife and habitat values in the proposed operating
area.
 Potential adverse effects of the operation on these values (i.e. risks).
 Mitigation options.
The methodology used to identify sensitive species and potential impacts for this management plan
include review of the following sources of information:
1. Review of the Conservation Data Centre (CDC) Ecosystems Explorer to identify Blue/Red listed
species for the Chilcotin Forest District in the MS/ESSF zones
(http://a100.gov.bc.ca/pub/eswp/jsp/results.jsp?pager.offset=0).
2. Review of the Draft Lillooet Land and Resource Management Plan (2004) document and
mapping to identify management zones or sensitive species and associated management
direction that may occur in the area of the upper Cadwallader Creek valley
(http://www.ilmb.gov.bc.ca/slrp/lrmp/kamloops/lillooet/plan/files/maps/figures.zip).
There are no records of red listed species currently recorded with the CDC. However, the area is
considered to be mountain goat range in the Lillooet Land and Resource Management Plan (LRMP). The
LRMP also recommends the area be included in the Grizzly Bear conservation and recovery zone for the
South Chilcotin Ranges Population Unit. The area is known for moose habitat and the LRMP
recommends the area as a Moose Management Unit. Sunshine Mountain also falls within the Hurley
Landscape Unit which has moderate emphasis for managing biodiversity. Natural resource inventory and
resource use information is presented in Map 3 -.
Mitigation
Mitigation of any potential adverse impacts to wildlife values will include the following:


Signage will be installed to alert guests of the potential for disturbance of wildlife (i.e. going off
trail, loud noises, food attractants, etc) and what are appropriate behaviours for when wildlife is
spotted, including ensuring personal safety when encountering larger wildlife.
At all times BRVCA will strive to meet or exceed the Wildlife Guidelines for Backcountry
Tourism/Commercial Recreation in British Columbia.
Bear management objectives related to operational activities of BRVCA include:
24

Education for containing human-food bear attractants

Education for response to bear encounters

Ensuring compliance with Provincial Wildlife Act provisions regarding attractants and feeding of
dangerous wildlife
Human-bear conflicts can lead to human injury and destruction of bears. Both of these outcomes can be
avoided through the containment of human food and other bear attractants, and by using encounterprevention strategies. Bear attractants include food garbage and food/drink recycling receptacles, as well
as natural food sources such as berries.

I acknowledge that the mineral tenure listed above overlap with my area of use and understand that
BRVCA may have to coordinate access and activities with the tenure holders. BRVCA further
acknowledge that additional mineral tenures may be located in my area of use in the future and that
BRVCA may have to coordinate access and activities with the tenure holders.
Signed: ________________________________________________
4.2
Timber Tenure and Forest Use
The tenure area for Sunshine Mountain is administered by BC Timber Sales within the Lillooet Timber
Supply Area of the Cascades Forest District. No issues are anticipated with forest harvesting around the
tenure. Since the area is identified in the Draft LRMP as having high scenic value, coordination between
the BRVCA and BC Timber Sales for any cutblocks in the immediate vicinity of the cabin or the existing
cleared ski area would be advantageous.
4.3
Land Use Planning, Local or Regional Zoning Requirements
The Draft LRMP identifies the area around Sunshine Mountain as Integrated Resource Management
Zone. This means that tourism and resource based activities will take place in an integrated or
coordinated manner. The area around Bralorne is designated as Front and Mid Country tourism zones
with High Value for scenery
(http://www.ilmb.gov.bc.ca/slrp/lrmp/kamloops/lillooet/plan/files/maps/figures.zip).
4.4
Adventure Tourism Tenure and Guide Outfitter Territories
The tenure area overlaps with a tenure for Guide Outfitter, LOO # 500509, and registered to Kevan
Bracewell (Chilcotin Mountain Holidays). Crown tenure for Commercial Recreation is also held by
Chilcotin Holidays under File # 3408461, LOO # 339743 for the purpose of guide training, mountain
biking, wildlife viewing, hiking, ski touring and snowmobiling. This tenure was granted in 2004.
During the preparation of this Management Plan, a new Adventure Tourism application was received by
FrontCounter BC for commercially guided snowmobiling. Application file #2411569 is considered to
potentially conflict with the proposed Bralorne Recreation Area – Sunshine Mountain. Further, BCAC
believes that the proposed use as a community recreation area represents a higher, better use of the
Crown lands. As such, the proponent, Chris Brown, was contacted and BCAC requested that the
overlapping portion of the application be voluntarily deleted.
I acknowledge that my areas of use may overlap with a commercial recreation tenure and/or guide
outfitting territory. BRVCA understand that BRVCA is required to contact these tenure holders and have
them complete an Operator Input Form. BRVCA will receive this information from the regional FLNRO
office.
Signed: ________________________________________________
30
The southwest portion of the proposed tenure area overlaps with Adventure Tourism File # 2403273,
LOO # 238823 and registered to Whistler Heli Skiing (Map ).
I acknowledge that my areas of use may overlap with a commercial recreation tenure and/or heli skiing
territory. The holder of the tenure, Whistler Heli-Skiing, was contacted and solicited for comment relating
to any concerns with this application. As per the email response in Error! Reference source not found.,
Whistler Heli-Skiing expressed no concerns at the time of preparing this Management Plan. BRVCA
understands that BRVCA is required to contact these tenure holders and have them complete an
Operator Input Form. BRVCA will receive this information from the regional FLNRO office.
Signed: ________________________________________________
5 Suitability and Capability Assessment
In order for the BRA to be successful as a community recreation facility, it must be sustainable. The
physical plant (Sunshine Mountain) must have the physical characteristics conducive to the proposed
activities. For example, the gradients must be suitable for a range of snow travel in a range of conditions.
Likewise, the gradients and soil and vegetation conditions must accommodate the summer activities like
mountain biking, ATVing and hiking. In order to prove out the terrain for these uses a slope analysis was
conducted (Map ). Since the original area has a long history of use as a ski area, its suitability is well
documented. The proposed expanded area encompasses more terrain that will be suitable for a wider
range of activities.
Safety Plan
A safety plan was developed to promote best practices and emergency response protocols. Given the
remoteness of Bralorne Recreation Area and Bralorne itself, a sound safety and emergency response
plan will be essential to the sustainability of BRA from both a community health and risk management
perspective. The Safety Plan contains a section regarding avalanche risk which is based on the
understanding that the BRA contains potential avalanche prone terrain (Map ). The Safety Plan is found
in Error! Reference source not found.. (Confidential)
Business Plan
A business plan was developed as part of the due diligence to the BRVCA. The Business Plan
articulates identified potential revenue sources, capital and operational expenses. The Business Plan is
presented in Error! Reference source not found.. (Confidential)
