An array of requests, from DNA sourcing to increased conservation officer funds, was made in Vancouver last week.
The Union of B.C. Municipalities convention saw Coldstream Mayor Jim Garlick, councillors Gyula Kiss, Glen Taylor and Richard Enns and chief administrative officer Trevor Seibel in attendance.
香蕉视频直播淚 think we do a good job of going and presenting ourselves,香蕉视频直播 said Garlick, who was pleased with the fresh set of eyes with the new NDP government appointments.
Among the district香蕉视频直播檚 wish list was a call for the provincial government to partner and assist in getting more conservation officers on duty.
香蕉视频直播淭hey need more out in the fields,香蕉视频直播 said Garlick, as Coldstream pays into a regional pot to fund officers out on area lakes such as Kalamalka during the busy summer months.
The Ministry of Environment was pushed for safe and ample access to Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park, as Coldstream is working on improving parking at the red gate.
香蕉视频直播淲e want the province to also play a part in that and contribute to it,香蕉视频直播 said Garlick.
Air shed monitoring was another topic Coldstream discussed with the Ministry of Environment, and what Garlick called, 香蕉视频直播渟hortcomings with the pellet plant process.香蕉视频直播
He says it was difficult to gain trust from the public during the process due to the lack of monitoring, therefore continued monitoring is needed to keep residents informed. And so far, the numbers are doing good.
香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 been pretty positive over the time it香蕉视频直播檚 been done,香蕉视频直播 said Garlick.
Several ministries were also taken to task on riparian area regulations and the convoluted process one must go through to rebuild a dock or undergo any adjustments.
香蕉视频直播淭hey need to be clearer, especially after the flooding that happened this year,香蕉视频直播 said Garlick. 香蕉视频直播淭here香蕉视频直播檚 overlap in all of them, it香蕉视频直播檚 hard to deal with any one issue.香蕉视频直播
And once again, just like the last nine years, Coldstream brought up the issue of manure management.
香蕉视频直播淭here香蕉视频直播檚 a need to look at it,香蕉视频直播 said Garlick, noting both the Antwerp Springs issue and Spallumcheen香蕉视频直播檚 Hullcar aquifer contamination earlier this year.
Additional DNA sourcing of E. coli on Coldstream Creek is also being sought by the district. The province is needed to carry out the testing, which last time showed waterfowl was the biggest culprit, followed by dogs then cattle, according to Garlick.
