| June 21, 2017 | SLOCAN VALLEY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY
In 2016, the Villages of Slocan, Silverton, New Denver and Area H submitted a joint application to the Rural Dividend Fund, for recruitment of a consultant to complete an Economic Development Strategy for our Region. The main objective to this project was to develop a multi-year, regional strategy with tangible, capacity-appropriate projects and an associated action plan.Through a Steering Committee selection process, EDCD Consulting was hired to complete the strategy. The Steering Committee consisted of one elected official from each participating community, along with senior supporting staff (CAO’s). Public engagement sessions were hosted to collect input from the public, as well as completion of an ED Survey.The Steering Committee received the draft report documents from the consultants which included a summary of input and data collected at the public engagement sessions, and a structure recommendation report. In May, the Final Report – Report Three: Economic Development Strategy and Implementation Plan – was released. The creation and implementation of a regional strategy will assist with the stabilization of the economy by identifying ways to save and enhance existing businesses in both the short and long term. It will identify opportunities for job creation, business retention and business expansion. |

REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL OPPORTUNITY:RFP-17-001 – WATERFRONT DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY, CONSULTANT SERVICES The Village of Slocan has significant public use areas on its waterfront.

The Village is seeking to recruit a professional consultant, to create a long-term waterfront management and development strategy for the waterfront areas located west of the mill site. The consultant will host stakeholder and community engagement sessions and analyze existing and new-found data to create a design plan and implementation strategy. Data compiled will include landowner information, traffic patterns and parking needs, existing and potential future uses, climate change impacts, and local/regional economic development benefits.

| January 21, 2013 | WE STRIVE TO BE A FIRESMART COMMUNITY! Wildland forest fires are capable of spreading at an astonishing rate. Crowning forest fires often spread at up to 5.5 km per hour, with spotting as far as 2 km ahead. Wind blown grass fires can spread at speeds up to 8.8 km per hour.In British Columbia, an average of 48% of all wildfires are caused by human activity. Wildfire is also a natural phenomenon. Nearly 52% of BC’s wildfires are caused by lightening strikes. Over the last several centuries, large areas of BC have been burned over repeatedly. Over the last 10 years, on average over 2,500 wildfires were started in BC each year, consuming over 25,000 hectares of forested land annually. Thousands of families were recently evacuated from their communities and hundreds of homes destroyed. If you live in Slocan or surrounding area, sooner or later you may have to contend with the spread of wildfire. The best protection against loss, damage or injury due to wildfire is prevention. Following the FireSmart Home Owner’s Manual can help reduce that risk. For more information, please follow the link below. www.bcwildfire.ca/prevention/firesmart.htm |
