DISCLAIMER: This Update Newsletter is a “labor of love” by an unpaid volunteer. It is put together by a human so you can expect to find human errors in it. I apologize for any and all mistakes of the past or in future editions that may cause inconvenience.

While a little rain and somewhat cooler temperatures have certainly helped firefighters and eased the fire danger in
some areas of B.C., historically, August temperatures here soar. ‘Extreme’ fire hazard conditions can quickly return.
With only 7mm of rain falling this past week, the province remains tinder dry. New fires are still being reported daily. High temperatures, together with strong winds, can rapidly alter fire activity, accelerate existing or new fires, and
quickly devastate our immediate environment. Human carelessness and lightning-caused blazes clearly remain a
threat this time of year. As a result, please be aware of enforced burning bans (see page 14), report individuals that
don’t comply and vigilantly observe our surroundings for any plumes of smoke that suddenly appear.
The current status of the 2,893 hectare Cougar Creek fire (lightning-caused on July 1st) has improved over the last
several days. The fire is now 40% contained and the evacuation alert rescinded. A road closure remains in effect
at the 25 km marker on the Nahatlatch Forest Service Road, in the vicinity of Squakum Creek; that area also experiencing closure. See daily updates of the Cougar Creek fire at bcwildfire.ca.
Resources currently being used to combat this fire:113 firefighters • 5 helicopters • 3 heavy equipment. Twenty
Australian personnel have transitioned into their various IMT roles at this incident. The B.C. Wildfire Service are
reminding the public that this is an active fire.. “Members of the public are advised to stay away from these areas in
order to ensure their safety and the safety of our crews hard at work.”

...just a few topics from the July 8th Town Meeting...
Page 15
Destination BC* Director Terry Raymond advised that a video is being made of all of B.C., which will include a 2-5 minute segment about our beautiful Fraser Canyon. This video will be seen internationally to draw tourists from all over the world to our province. Director Raymond also advised that new Gold Rush Trail** signs are being considered. It is suggested that the new logo will
be gold and black and that these Trail signs might appear from San Francisco all the way to the Yukon.
Alexandra Bridge & Park: According to the ministry of environment "a management plan for a BC Park is the result of a management planning process and is developed with First Nations, local governments, the public and other interest groups" In this case,
keen interest is coming from The Chinese Heritage Society. A management process is currently in the works to preserve and enhance the old Alexandra Bridge and improve the 55 hectare provincial park.
Hell's Gate has also captured the interest of Chinese Tourism groups and it has been projected that tour bus traffic (with Brewster's which operates a modern charter fleet of deluxe motor coaches ) could triple, bringing increased revenues to all businesses
throughout the Fraser Canyon.
Speedwatch: Robert DuFresne reported that the recently reinstated program now has 9 members who have clocked approximately 20 hours getting drivers to reduce their speed through town. Rob also stated that the Boston Bar Community Development fund
has a surplus which could cover the cost of repairing or replacing signage at the north and south entrances to Boston Bar; a project that will hopefully take place this fall. He is inviting 'sign' ideas to draw the attention of folks passing through and encourage
them to stop and have a look around. It was suggested a map might be useful to provide direction to our beautiful natural attractions, such as the Nahatlatch. Contact Rob if you have an idea you'd like to share.
Repairs & Maintenance: Tensions have been a little high amongst locals and transient traffic,
while road repair and paving has produced stoppages from one end of town to the other, but rest
assured, the end to these improvements is drawing to a close. Mowing of our town's ditches to
improve both appearance and visibility has been postponed till further notice due to the potential
fire hazard of having piles of dead grass laying at the side of the highway.
Improvements to Chaumox Road will probably be done in 2 parts. Present road sloughing will be
repaired in the fall with more repairs to come in 2016. It is also hoped that the severe ruts in the
highway at the Blue Lake turnoff and Ainslie will be repaired as soon as possible.
Safety: It’s likely that speed limits will be permanently reduced in specific areas, such as at Hell's
Photo courtesy: Susan Cosulich
Gate, Alexandra Park and through the tunnels. The current posted speed of 100 kph is proving to
be dangerous for truckers hauling big loads and travellers unfamiliar with our canyon highway. More lights are slated to be added
at Ferrabee.
Perks: A new "quick" electric charge unit for hybrid vehicles will be replacing the one presently installed at Canyon Lanes. The
new unit will be able to charge up a vehicle in about 30 minutes.
The Greenhouse Project: The new solar wrap has been installed on the school's greenhouse. Thanks to all that worked so hard to
get the job done! A generous anonymous donation of $7,426.00 was recently received for "The Greenhouse Project". As life is
being breathed back into the old greenhouse, it's potential for success can now easily be visualized. All those suggestions and
ideas that were put forth back in March, when the initial grant monies arrived and the refurbishing began. are slowly transforming
into definite plans for our community. Aside from it's potential to provide the community with home-grown food, and possible employment, it is clear that the greenhouse could also be used educationally, becoming a part of the school's science curriculum.
Protection: Director Raymond is in talks with officials regarding the protection of our watersheds, preserving the habitats of our
local wildlife and deterring wood poaching that has occurred in our area.
Questions? Please contact Terry at 604 -867-8891 or email traymond@fvrd.bc.ca
*Destination British Columbia is taking the lead role in tourism development, management and marketing programs in both
domestic and international markets, while working with the private sector, industry and other government ministries to create an
integrated approach in B.C. growth. It is Destination British Columbia's role to increase demand for all tourism products and regions of B.C., for the benefit of the entire industry by increasing visitation, revenue and employment.
**The Gold Rush Trail is 1900 km long and takes 7-10 days to drive. It starts in New Westminster, goes through the Vancouver
Coast and Mountain Region, the Cariboo Chilcotin Region, the Thompson Okanagan Region, then returns west and back to New
Westminster.

Fraser Valley Canyon continues to heat up…
As we continue with the warm weather, we wanted to raise awareness
about the current fires and fire bans. Fire crews are out there battling
hard to keep our communities safe. If you come across them, please
give them a wave and a thank you. We know they would appreciate it.
Open Fires: As of July 25, 2015, all open fires are PROHIBITED in the
Coastal Fire Centre’s jurisdiction. This prohibition will remain in effect
until October 16, 2015, or until further notice.
Camp Fires: Still PROHIBITED unless in the Haida Gwaii and the area
known as the “Fog Zone.”
The campfire ban does not apply to portable cooking stoves, or portable campsite apparatus that are ULS or CSA approved, and use gas,
propane, liquid fuels or briquettes, with a flame length of 15 centimeters or less.
Fire Danger Rating
Forest fuels are very dry and the
fire risk is serious. New fires may
start easily, burn vigorously and
challenge fire suppression efforts.
Extreme caution must be used in
any forest activities. Open burning
and industrial activities may be
restricted. If you see a wildfire,
immediately call *5555 on your cell
or 911.
Forest Use: There are currently no forest use restrictions in effect for the Coastal fire center.

Restoring The Highline Houses
Several North Bend residents were in attendance at a meeting called by Director Terry Raymond on July 16th at the North Bend
Hall. Guests present were Suzanne Gresham of the Fraser Valley Regional District, who has overseen this project from its
inception, and Steve Deller, experienced Vancouver Heritage Home Developer.
Having had his proposal approved as the best fit for our unique area, Mr. Deller has now purchased the two Highline Houses.
When land covenants, lot subdivisions, and other legal issues are cleared away (which should take approximately one year according to Ms. Gresham), Mr. Deller will be able to begin in earnest, the restorative reconstruction of the two houses. At that point,
it will be another 18-24 months to complete the transformation.
Inspections have thus far revealed favourable assessments of both the foundations and structural elements of the houses. Mr.
Deller has already begun some work to prevent further deterioration by the elements. Having carefully researched the area’s
history and respecting the houses’ heritage value, Mr. Deller is confident these houses could ultimately bring employment and
revenue into our area, which is in keeping with the goal of the provincial program, “Destination B.C.”
Here are a few of his proposed concepts. He is inviting ideas and suggestions from the community; the goal being to choose the
best concept for the residents of North Bend. He is also very interested in hiring local tradesmen when construction begins.

Letter to the Editor

Dear Editor,
T RIPLE P: POSITIVE PARE N T IN G PROGRAM
T u esdays 10:30 till n oon at F am ily Place
I am writing today to express my concern that the residents of Boston Bar/North Bend and surrounding communities perhaps
demonstrate a level of indifference towards those of us who do not live in the area full-time. As "weekenders", we are only able to
visit the houses and properties that we own in this community, on our days off and on holidays. Rest assured, we still care very
much about this community, which is our 'home away from home'.
My family and I have owned our house in Boston Bar for over ten years and my immediate neighbours are nice people
and friendly. They say hello, wave and sometimes we chew the fat on common-interest subjects. However, with the exception of
a few people, we have been largely ignored and regarded as not part of this community. We really enjoy our time in the Boston
Bar area and have regularly invested in this region to make sure that it survives and thrives. Like every local citizen, we also pay
the full freight on taxes and services and yet feel that we receive very little in return. We would like to get more involved in the
governance and the activities of the region but the town and residents do not seem to value our input or even make it accessible
to us to have a say in how things are run.
The access to internet in our area is, it seems, held up by forces that can be controlled and moved around to gain a greater piece
of the outside world. The growth and economic activity in the area seems to have dried up, to say it politely. I believe that this
beautiful area can be brought back to life but it is also my belief, that the only way this will happen is if we embrace the future,
while respecting the environment's history. We must also engage all of the people within our region, develop a partnership, and
work as a team in order to propel this area into a position of prosperity. The common goal I believe, is to re-build our community
in a positive, responsible, yet cautious manner; while ensuring that our futures are secured and not just a dream (but a concrete
reality that no one or no thing can obstruct or derail if they so choose). I believe that we can rebuild this town and location on
more than just one idea or just one industry. We need to open up the dialogue and the flow of ideas to allow for all people and
groups to have the futures that all of us in our area have in mind.
Visits by Debi Kerton, Community Outreach Worker, Youth Mental
Health - weekly at Family Place Wednesdays from 11 am till 2 pm.
COMMUNITY LUNCH PROGRAM
( sponsored by BaHP & BB/NB Enhancement Society)
Every Wednesday :
NOON — 1PM at FAMILY PLACE
SENIORS are invited to stay afterwards to play

E VERYONE IS WELCOME !

I am hoping that in the future that there is a way for everyone's ideas and voices to be heard and that the collective resources
and connections can be accessed to make our community a greater place for all of us and our children's futures.
