1.5 DELEGATION(S)

1.5.1 Regional Broadband Committee Rob Gay, Chair Dave Lampron, Chief Operating Officer

Rob Gay thanked the Board for being apart of the Regional Broadband Committee (RBBC) initiative and endorsing connectivity. Mr. Gay identified that RBBC is a united voice to advocate for all our constituents through leadership, knowledge sharing and a common understanding of the current and future needs of high-speed broadband internet services in the region.

Mr. Gay turned the floor over to Dave Lampron to address connectivity strategy, notable advancements in rural broadband, broadband grant funds, and the RBBC initiatives.

Mr. Lampron identified the purpose of the connectivity strategy is to communicate clearly, develop awareness and obtain support for a highly connected region. Mr. Lampron addressed the following targeted outcomes:

retain and grow businesses;

accessing health care through advanced tele-medicine diagnostic and specialty care widely available in the region;

regional educational to have access to resources to meet 21st century learning needs; and

robust public safety communication systems to ensure residents are provided with timely information.

Mr. Lampron discussed the challenges of the state of connectivity and the importance to gathering data and using the Columbia Basin/Boundary Internet Performance portal, https://performance.cira.ca/columbiabasin.

He identified the notable advancements for rural broadband from Federation of Canadian Municipalities, the Federal 2019 Budget included 2.2 billion through Federal Gas Tax funds (GTF) and $5 and $6 billion over the next ten (10) years to expand broadband access. Mr. Lampron also indicated that the Local Government Act has amended legislation to enable regional districts to provide financing for capital costs to Internet service providers where it may not otherwise make sense from a business perspective.

Mr. Lampron talked about the upcoming broadband grants and the RBBC’s intent to meet with Minister Sims at the 2019 UBCM Convention to discuss the Columbia Basin region connectivity gap.

He concluded the presentation with the proposed projects that have been approved; Jaffray to Roosville and the Slocan (Playmor to Shoreholme) expansions.

Mr. Gay and Mr. Lampron answered the Board's questions.

Vice-Chair Toyota thanked the delegates and provided them with a pen and pin at 9:26 a.m.

1.5.2 Central Kootenay Invasive Species Society

Laurie Carr, Development Coordinator

Laurie Carr gave a presentation to the Board regarding the state of invasive species in the RDCK and the Central Kootenay Invasive Species Society (CKISS) initiatives to protect the region’s ecosystems and communities by preventing and reducing harmful impacts of invasive species.

Ms. Carr discussed one of the greatest threat is Zebra and Quagga mussels. The mussels are the size of a fingernail and have spread to 750 lakes in North America and primarily inhabit rock areas, infrastructure around lake edges and impacting watersheds. The mussels will connect to may different things and cause a negative effect. Ms. Carr provided a table of the millions of dollars that are estimated in infrastructure repair from the damage caused from the mussels.

She identified the Federal government is now taking action because the Aquatic Invasive Species Regulations under the Fisheries Act was not adequately being enforced and measures were not implemented to prevent aquatic invasive species. The Provincial government has a Mussel Defense program and there are inspection stations throughout the region.

Ms. Carr identified there are ninety-seven (97) other invasive species within the region. For example, the invasive species -Knotweed grows in-between the cracks of infrastructure and can only be killed by herbicide. She discussed how invasive species adapt quicker to climate change and how they are beginning to take over because native species do not adapt as quickly.

Ms. Carr is encouraging local governments to collaborate with CKISS and to enforce the Weed Control Act, Controlled Alien Species regulations and adopt regional bylaws to help rid of invasive species.

She noted that the Regional District of East Kootenay has a large invasive species program and receives funding from the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Resource Operation. Ms. Carr identified only 1% of CKISS’s funding comes from local government, whereas the province and crown and private corporations contribute around 38 % each.

In conclusion, Ms. Carr indicated it costs less to prevent the introduction of aquatic invasive species than to delay action and manage them once they are established.

Ms. Carr answered the Board's questions.

Vice-Chair Toyota thanked the delegation and presented a pen and pin at 9:45 a.m.
