In 1986, when the Coquihalla was built, the traffic along Hwy#3 decreased, seriously affecting the economy of South CentralBC, between Hope and the Kootenays.

In 2012 the Kettle Valley Express was created, connected Hopeto the Kootenays and in 2013, published it’s first yearly, all seasonstravel guide for South Central BC using BC's rail trails to connectthe communities and attract new visitors.

Research shows, for approximately every 2 hours of drivingtime, visitors would stay one night. Using the Kettle ValleyExpress, the reader can make a travel plan starting at the westernterminus for the Kettle Valley Railway in Hope, following thestories, travel Hwy #3 thru Princeton across to the Okanaganand Hwy 97, then over to the Boundary, West Kootenay’s andSlocan.

The visitor could stop a day or two to explore the attractions,visit the advertisers and off to the next, spending a week or twoto cross the region and explore.

It was once believed that the internet would put magazinesout of business but what has been found out, is that magazinenumbers have increased due to the internet. Both mediumswork together to enhance each others visibility. People checkout websites from magazines and order magazines thru websites.

The Kettle Valley Express has a robust, free access, companionwebsite with archived issues and downloadable pdfs of themagazine and map, regional and city links and a businesslistings page, (listing included free with booking advertisment).We are active in Social Media and promote our advertisers andother trail information on our Facebook and Twitter accounts.

We network with other media companies and actively promotethe magazine and website with a large panel advertisment on6 info billboards in key locations throughout Boundary Countryand the West Kootenays .

Our 35" wide removable map of South Central BC featuringthe rail trails is the most complete BC Rail Trail map in print.

Testimonial from Clive Webber: Facilitator: Trans Canada Trail Foundation

The provincial "Spirit of 2010" rail trail system spans severalhundreds of kms across Southern British Columbia and provideswhat many consider to be one of the most vital pieces of trail ofthe Trans Canada Trail network in Western Canada. As a formerrailway, the trail is priceless, not just as a recreational corridor, butas a high value tourism commodity. However, due to the lengthand remoteness of the trail, it has been a challenge to packageand market as a "destination trail". Vicom has taken the lead inthis respect by connecting trail users with the numerous trailorganizations, community Chambers of Commerce, and localbusinesses. Vicom has collaborated with the Trans Canada Trail'sprovincial partner, the Trails Society of BC, to produce highly accuratemaps, that feature the locations of amenities such as parkingareas, toilets and points of interest (such as the former railway

stations) - becoming the only known printed map with this levelof detail for trail users. Having cycled the trails myself, and recognizingthe challenges in planning each day along the trail, I certainlybelieve that Vicom's publication will be a valuable asset to trailusers, and does a brilliant job at connecting the various stakeholdersalong the trail like no other publication has to date

Before The Kettle Valley Express, one needed a filing cabinetand a suite case to sort all the information as there was nosingle resourse for our famous Kettle Valley Rail Trails.

Testimonial letter: I saw your magazine at Vancouver airport...so I picked it up and read through it. My wife and I rode part of therailway near Kelowna... We’ve been talking about going back andriding that stretch and other stretches ever since. So when I readthrough your magazine, I realized we now have a single resourceto help us plan our trip. We’d been putting it off partly because wedidn’t know of an easy single resource with all the info we needbefore this. So thanks for putting the magazine together! I thinkit’ll be really helpful for us.

4. DELEGATIONS

4.1. Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations BC Timber Sales

Russ Laroche, Timber Sales Manager for BC Timber Sales (BCTS), addressed the Board at 9:06 a.m. BCTS is a stand-alone government agency within the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. It publicly auctions standing timber to the highest qualified bidder who then harvests and markets the timber (this includes independent loggers, log brokers, sawmills, value added producers, major forest licensees and pulp mills). Public auctions seek to: establish market pricing benchmarks (MPS); provide an open competitive market for timber; and capture the value of the timber asset for the Crown. BCTS oversees 20% of the total annual allowable cut across the province (just over 1,000,000 m3 per year). This results in net revenue of $7 to $10 million per year. BCTS' activities are primarily delivered through publicly tendered contracts to local contractors, businesses and nurseries which creates significant local employment. Currently, BCTS intends to issue contracts in the Kootenays totaling approximately $20 million. Average stumpage received by government for Kootenay BC timber sales is approximately $30.00/m3 which equates to total stumpage of around $35 million per year in the region. BCTS also sees that fibre gets to local mills and certifies safe companies. It also promotes sustainable forest management through certification. At 9:44 a.m., the Vice-Chair presented the delegates with RDCK pins and pens and thanked them for attending the meeting.

DIRECTOR PRESENT: Director Newell joined the meeting at 9:16 a.m.

105

4.2. Forest Practices Board

At 9:45 a.m., Tim Ryan, Chair of the Forest Practices Board and Board member Marlene Machmer gave an overview on the Forest Practices Board. The Forest Practices Board serves the public interest as the independent watchdog for sound forest and range practices in British Columbia. It encourages: sound forest practices that warrant public confidence; fair and equitable application of the Forest and Range Practices Act and the Wildfire Act; and continuing improvements in forest and range practices. The Board reports out to the public and government about compliance with the Forest & Range Practices Act and the Wildfire Act but cannot enforce legislation. The Forest Practices Board is unique in BC. It must perform audits and investigate complaints initiated by the public and local governments. It receives 70—80 concerns per year and conducts 10—12 audits annually across the province. Local government concerns have involved logging, visual quality impacts, recreation/tourism impacts, water impacts, and landslide risks. At 10:10 a.m., the Vice-Chair presented RDCK pins and pens to the delegates and thanked them for their presentation.
