Dear Mayor and Council:
The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (FLNR) is in the process of
a Timber Supply Review (TSR) for the Arrowsmith Timber Supply Area (TSA). An
overview map of the Arrowsmith TSA has been attached for your reference.
The TSR is a strategic, high-level review of the Arrowsmith TSA's timber supply and leads
to the chief foresters allowable annual cut (AAC) determination for the TSA. The AAC is
the rate of timber harvest permitted each year from a specificed area of land, and is expressed
in cubic meters of wood. There are several components in the TSR process which may take
up to 24 months to complete.
In accordance with Section 8(1) of the Forest Act, the chief forester must determine an AAC
at least once every ten years from the date of the last determination. The TSR process is now
nearing completion of the initial stage, the data package. The data package is a compilation
of the best available information on the definition of the current timber harvesting land base
(THLB) including but not limited to net downs for non-timber resources such as wildlife
habitat, species at risk, old growth and landscape level biodiversity, riparian areas, stand-level
biodiversity, archaeological features, recreation sites and trails, research installations,
economically inoperable areas, and roads and landings. The data package also identifies the
ctirrent forest management assumptions to be applied to the THLB including but limited to
regeneration assumptions and expected growth rates, timber utilization standards and
minimum harvest ages, visual quality objectives, community and fisheries sensitive
watersheds, and Clayoquot Sound watershed plans.

The data package can be found on the Forest Analysis and Inventory Branch website at:
httPs:/Avww.for.gov.bc.ca/hts/tsa/isa38/tsr 2015/38tsdpl 5 final.pdf
The summary of information and assumptions in this package forms the basis of the timber
supply analysis (second stage of the TSR process), which the chief forester will use to assist
in determining the new AAC for the ArrowsmithTSA (fmal stage of the TSR process).
As you may be aware, the Arrowsmith TSA is also engaged in an Integrated Resource
Management Planning (IRMP) pilot process, running concurrent with the TSR. This process
is being led by the Resource Practices Branch (RPB) of FLNRO. To date there have been
First Nations and licensee meetings held to introduce and provide input into the plan. Current
mformation related to the IRMP (also referred to as an Integrated Silviculture Strategy) can
be found at the RPB website: https://www.for.gov.bc.ca/HFP/silstrat/index.htm
We understand that the District of Lantzville may have interests that may need specific
consideration in the TSR process for the Arrowsmith TSA. On behalf of the chief forester,
FLNR would like to provide an opportunity for the District of Lantzville to offer any
comments that you may have in regard to the data package for the Arrowsmith TSA TSR,
including your suggestions as to any new data or information that you would like to see
incorporated into this package that will be used as part of the second stage of the TSR
process, the timber supply analysis.
Please provide your comments in writing within 30 days from the date of this letter.
Further engagement will be undertaken with the District of Lantzville at the timber supply
analysis stage of the TSR process. The draft timber supply analysis will likely be ready in
late fall of 2016. Once the AAC determination is made the District of Lantzville will receive
notification of this decision along with the rationale. The AAC detennination is expected in
the winter of 2017.
We acknowledge the technical nature of the draft data package; and therefore, if you have any
questions, require further information, or would like to meet please don't hesitate to contact
Tracy Andrews, Resource Officer, at (250) 731-3087 or by email [email protected].
For any other questions, please contact myself at (250) 731-3065 or by email

Dear Mayor Haime:
RE:

OFNANAIMO
INITIATION OF PROCESS TO AMEND THE REGIONAL GROWTH STRATEGY
Regional Growth Strategy Minor Amendment Criteria
This letter is to formally confirm the initiation of a process to amend the Regional
6rov\rth Strategy and Intent to consult with affected and interested organisations. On
October 27^^ 2015, the Regional District of Nanaimo Board decided to proceed with an
amendment to the Regional Growth Strategy to revise the criteria for minor
amendments.
The current Regional District of Nanaimo Regional Growth Strategy Bylaw No. 1615
contains criteria for minor amendments outlined in Section 1.5.1.
BC CLIMATE ACTION
COMMUNITY 2012
This section is
divided into two parts. The first part outlines the criteria under which a proposed
amendment to the Regional Growth Strategy may be considered minor. The second
part outlines some of the types of amendments that are not considered minor (see
Attachment 1).
In response to public Input, the Board directed staff to address two concerns with the
current criteria for minor amendments. The first concern was that the section was not
clear whether the first and second parts should be considered together. The second
concern was with one of the criteria that a proposed amendment may be minor if it
results from a "full Official Community Plan review process," as the section is not clear
on what is meant by a full Official Community Plan review process.
A potential amendment to address the Regional Board's concerns was identified
through Initial consultations with member municipalities. The proposed change would
be to clarify that the list of amendments not considered minor do not apply if a full
Official Community Plan process has been done and that each of the types of
amendments has been contemplated as part of the Official Community Plan review
process. The proposed change clarifies that the first and second part of Section 1.5.1
can be read separately and It provides a minimum set of Items that must be considered
for a full Official Community Plan review. The wording for the proposed change can be

views with RDN representatives. The regional district will also consult with affected

Regional Growth Strategy Minor Amendment Process, please do not hesitate to contact Paul Thompson,

SUBJECT:
Lantzville Historical Society Work and Storage Space
Recommendation
For Information.
Purpose
To provide a report on a work and storage space for the LantzvilleHistoricalSociety.
Backgroimd
A mimicipality may choose to enter into a lease,licenceof occupation or rental agreement, depending
on the municipality's and the tenants level of interest in the land, permanency, and exclusiveuse,
and sul^ectto the Comtnuniiy Charter requirementsfor disposal of property (e.g. statutory notices)
and providing assistance (e.g.leasing property for less than market value). Publication of notice is
required, and this may occur prior to leasing,as a public offeringor prior to execution of a lease, as a
notice of intention to lease to a specific person or organization. Qauses of a lease may be amended
with the agreement of both parties, through a lease amendment agreement.
The Districtof Lantzville was incorporated in 2003 and owns severalmunicipal buildings, including
Costin Hall and the Heritage Churdi which are leased to the SeasideCommimity Society.
Lantzville Historical Society (LHS) incorporated in 1982, past projects include putting together a
collection of photos,writing a book (Lantzville The FirstHxmdred Years), operating thelog.ca web
site, and collectinghistorical documents/artifacts. Future projectsinclude plans to write a second
book, operate a museum, and develop an onlinearchiveof Lantzville history.
The LHS has previouslysubmitted proposalsto the Districtfor spacewithin a Districtbuilding to
operate a museum and/or for a workspace and archive. The District has provided space for the LHS
to store, rent-free,one filing cabinet of their archival collectionin a DistrictOfficestorage room;
however, this is only accessible when the office is open and the adjacentmeeting room is not in use.
The Seaside Commimity Societyhas provided the LHS (at no charge) an approximate 200 sq.ft.
storage room in Costin Hall where they store docimients and artifacts. The LHS reported concern
with the CTirrent arrangement due to humidity/air quality and accessby others, and notes that other
documents are stored in members' homes and donation of additional artifacts have been declined
due to lack of space.
A December2012 Coundl resolution directed staff to advise the LHSthere was no opportunity for a
mxiseumto be located at Costin Hall or the Heritage Church until the sub-lease for the church expires
in 2015 and further that the item would be discussed at Council's 2013 Strategic Planning Session.An
October 2014 request from the LHSto assist ihe LHS to secure work and storage space was received
by Council and staff confirmed the option to discuss the request at the 2015 strategic planning session
with additional information regarding specific needs (space,size, etc.). The request for space was not
reflected in the 2015-2018 Strategic Plan due to ranking position.
Subsequently,Coimdl considered February 2 and 4,2015 LHScorrespondence (Attachment #1) for
assistance to secure a suitable work and storage space. The delegation at the meeting also noted that
inother munidpaHties, historical societies receive a grant for operating expenses like rent. Council
P21
District of Lantzville
Report to CAO- November23.2015 Lantzville Historical Sodet/ Workand Storage Space
Page 2 of2
requested staffto prepare a report on optionsfor providing work and storage space in municipal
facilities, including reporting on other alternatives, e.g. input from die Seaside Community Societyon
space at Costin Hall.
In September 2015, the LHSwrote (Attachment #1) regarding progress, and were advised that staff
had been researching options, and a report was anticipatedfor late Octoberor November.
The LHS appeared as a delegation at Council November 9,2015, spoke in support of the District
providing space for a permanent Lantzvillearchive storage and workspace, and specifically
requested half of the basement of the Heritage Church and noted the potential in the future for a
quasi-museimi on the main floor of the Heritage Church in locked cabinets and/or an on-line archive
and miisetmL The LHS stated to Coimdl that they would not be able to provide rent and requested
the District provide the space free of charge.
Discussion
Staffprovide the followingreport for informationon the requestfor LHS work and storage space,
listed in no particular order:
1. the Districtowns/occupies very few properties, eacliis for a specificpurpose, and no space is
available for a LHSwork and storage space in the DistrictOffice, Public Works office or
Fireball
2. rental space in privately owned buildings in the village core are larger than required and
costly for tiiepurpose proposed, e.g. 1,600 sq.ft. rentalof $2,000 per month
3. the LHS would need to deal directly with the Seaside CommimitySociety (SCS) regarding
CostinHaU and the Heritage Church, as the Districthas leased those properties to the SCS
4. the SCS has been consideiing how it might provide additional space (in addition to the
current 200 sq.ft. provided rent-free to LHS) for the LHSin the fully utilized Costin HaU and
recently received an estimate of $6,000 to enclose 170sq.ft. (includingelectrical, heating, door
and window) adjacent to the current LHSspace, TlieSCSwould not be responsible for this
expense. The Districthas not budgeted for such an expenditure. The Historical Society could
apply for grant monies and/or fundraise. If tlie LI-K chose this option, the SCS would need to
first request the District (as required under the lease) to authorize the construction
5. Council willbe havingStrategic Planning in December and may consider further thefuture of
Costin HaU and the Heritage Church
6. localgovernmentsare not mandated to provide financial support for an archive or museum,
many do not providefimding and the extentof ftmding providedvarieswidely, oftensubject
to the priorities, location and size of die commimity, e.g. is it a tourism or economic
development plan initiative, and for those that do provide support, in some cases there is also
a fee for service agreement or specific list of deliverables and/or cost or revenue sharing.
Summary
There is currentiy no space available for a Lantzville Historical Society work and storage space in a
Districtfacility. The LHS may chooseto work with the Seaside CommimitySociety regarding
occupancy in Costin Hall. No Coimcil action is required at this time.

Dear Lantzville Mayor and Council,

The Lantzville Historical Society needs a dedicated work and storage space toenable ongoing projects. Our con
stitutional mandate to preserve all aspects of our local history and make it accessible to the public is hampered
by the lack of such a centralised space.
We are beginning to research the postwar years for a second volume of the History of Lantzville focusing on
the Improvement District era. In order for this project to proceed we need to take it out of our homes and into a
dedicated space where the archival material is at hand and vWiere we can use computers, scanners and other
equipment which we have for the purpose. Staffed as we are by unpaid volunteers this workspace needs to be
accessible after hours and onweekends onan ad hoc basis. \Ate are unable toafford rent ofoffice space. We do
have a budget for projects but as a non-profit group, fundraising is more difficult and time consuming than when
we raised $20,000 tovrards the purchase ofthe old United Church property for the District, a project which we
Initiated and led.
Cun-ently our artifact collection is located in an unventilated and windowless storage room under Costin Hall.
Humidity is high and the space isconnected tothe utility area which generates mechanical and musty odours. It
is unsuited as a workspace and not ideal for artifacts. It isunlikely that this space would meet provincial occupa
tional health and safety standards. Security isalso an issue since this space is regularly accessed by Costin Hall
volunteers and contractors for access to breaker panels for the building and to access other building utilities. The
security door installed by the Historical Society through donations from Slegg Building Supplies and the Seaside
Society has occasionally been found unlocked.
Partofour collection of photos and documents is contained in a file cabinet in a storage room entered from the
Council Chamber in the District Office Building. This space, also used by the DOL for storage, is not accessible
on the after-hours basis required oranytime the District is using the space for meetings orother purposes. Ac
cess requires co-ordination with DOL staffforeach visit to the Society's archives cabinet.
As a museum now seems unlikely we have been turning away donors of additional Lantzville historical artifacts,
referring them instead to the city and other museums. We are still receiving documents and photographs as
these are easier to house and preserve. However, even to continue with our more modest goals of creating
historical display cases in public buildings, writing volume 2 of the Lantzville history and creating an online virtual
museum, we are in need of an accessible work and storage space.
If the District of Lantzville could provide any assistance to help us preserve the District of Lantzville's history by
securing a suitable space as outlined above itwould be deeply appreciated.
Sincerely,
Lynn Reeve,
President,
