Greetings, everyone.It is my pleasure to present Island Plan 2019, Council’s strategic plan for the next four years, with an emphasis on priorities for 2019.

Let’s have a look at the plan. As you’ll notice, we’re taking a more holistic approach to ensure the ongoing health and well-being of our community. That’s characterized by our strategic commitments to self-reliance, resilience and responsibility. Throughout the plan, there’s an increased awareness of the environment, our natural capital. We’ll be working on preventing industrial-scale logging and on new standards for our shorelines and developments that will mean saving green space.

At a first glance, you might notice a different categorizing as your Council decided “commitment” was more appropriate than “pillar.”

The Island Plan is still ambitious, but it’s tempered by realistic expectations. We’re carrying on with many tasks from the previous Council that are in varying stages of completion, and we’re including initiatives that have emerged and require attention.

We have our major projects, now in various stages of completion: the Community Centre, the Fire Hall and Emergency Operations Centre, the Cross-Island Multi-Use Path and the Cove Bay Water Treatment Plant. The progress of these projects will be monitored carefully.

Our Community Lands will be revisited with the goal of creating a comprehensive plan to guide us long into the future.

After completing our housing needs assessment, we will continue work to secure appropriate housing options for our community.

Transportation is also key in our plan. Without transit access to more areas of Bowen Island, we can’t expect to reduce our carbon footprint. We have a good start toward this goal with plans for the Cross-Island Multi-Use Path.

5

In this term, having effective relationships with our key partners is essential: with BC Ferries, our link to the Mainland, especially during the rebuild of the Horseshoe Bay and Snug Cove Terminals; with TransLink, as it implements improvements to transit throughout the region; with First Nations, in the spirit of reconciliation; with Metro Vancouver, with whom we share Snug Cove, Crippen Park and beyond; with the Islands Trust, to preserve and protect our island identity; and with the provincial and federal governments, who can help make possible many initiatives of local importance through funding and policy support.

Administratively, we’ll continue to pursue efficient and effective municipal operations, striving to better serve our island community. We’ll continue to fight for “rural” status to enable us to apply for rural funding opportunities offered by the provincial and federal governments. A priority this term will also be completion of our asset management plan, which will provide a strong understanding of the ongoing long-term funding requirements to maintain and replace municipal assets at appropriate levels. As assets are used to provide services to Bowen Islanders, the development of an asset management plan is crucial to understanding both the condition of our assets and the level of risk we are willing to accept with respect to making maintenance and replacement decisions. It is a big undertaking.

We’re looking forward to ongoing improvements in Snug Cove, implementing the various plans developed last term and continuing work on emergency planning for the island, including developing an emergency helicopter landing site. We’ll be watching the outcomes of our business licensing program. And we’ll be developing regulations for short-term rentals – regulations that will work for all island residents.

As you see, Council will certainly be busy. But remember, this plan belongs to the community. Without your support, enthusiasm and volunteerism, we as a Council cannot succeed.

I give you every assurance this Council will try to deliver fair and reasoned governance in all aspects of our work. The goal, as always, is to keep Bowen, Bowen.
