Today’s Objectives
– Sample tools and approaches rural BC communities are using to support energy and climate action decision-making (e.g.,):
• Community energy and emissions:
– Inventorying � modelling � planning– Inventorying � modelling � planning
• Revolving fund; Development bylaws
• Stakeholder engagement:
– Council, peer collaboration, public; Visualizations
– Provide time for questions and discussion
– Identify relevant resources available

Local Government Act
and Climate Action Charter
• Local Government Act
– Targets, Policies, Actions
– Enabling Tools– Enabling Tools
– Annual ‘CARIP’ Reports
• Climate Action Charter (GCC)3 Commitments:
1. Carbon neutral operations for 2012
2. Monitor and report community emissions
3. Create complete, compact, more energy
efficient communities 9
Today’s Themes
Three communities; three support practitioners
– District of Sicamous

DISTRICT OF SICAMOUS’ Journey to BC
Hydro’s CEEP Quick Start
Where did it START for SICAMOUS
• 2007 the District supported the Climate Action Charter, but did
not sign it.
• 2008 with the introduction of Bill 27 and changes to the Local
Government Act Council signed the Charter.
The journey towards a Community Energy and Emissions Plan
(CEEP)
BEGINS.
AND
12
• May of 2009 the District adopted its NEW Official Community Plan (OCP),
which included a number of GHG policies but no specific targets.
DISTRICT OF SICAMOUS’ Journey to BC
Hydro’s CEEP Quick Start
• June 2009 Staff was introduced to the Provincial Community Energy and
Emissions Inventory (CEEI) calculations being done for all local governments.
The question was: does the District hire a consulting firm or rely on the The question was: does the District hire a consulting firm or rely on the
Provincial’s CEEI calculations and targets to determine the District’s OCP
targets.
• May 2010 the District went with using the Provincial CEEI calculations, but
used the FCM PCP “aspirational” targets when adopting its OCP.
ANSWER

DISTRICT OF SICAMOUS’ Journey to BC
Hydro’s CEEP Quick Start
• Now the fun part – coming up with a Plan.
• Unlike the becoming Carbon Neutral at the Corporate Level, reducing overall
community emissions presents a unique challenge….
….changing the habits and views of individuals.….changing the habits and views of individuals.

DISTRICT OF SICAMOUS’ Journey to BC
Hydro’s CEEP Quick Start
• February 2010 - Young Anderson’s Planning Seminar
‘GREEN TOOLS for Large-Scale Development’ were discussed.
• The seminar identified specific tools to meet the objective of reducing Energy
Consumption for developments, including:
- Require solar/electrical/heating/cooling or Biogas/Biosolid energy production;- Require solar/electrical/heating/cooling or Biogas/Biosolid energy production;
- Ground source heat pumps/thermal heating/water/central source;
- Installation of high efficiency appliances, lighting, super insulated walls, roofs and
floors; and,
- Look at updating the District’s Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw to
ensure that new developments were GHG neutral . (Still working on – internally)
How do you
reduce
Community GHG
when you want
to develop as a
tourist
destination.
LEED by example – the new
District Hall utilized solid
waste diversion uses geo-
thermal versus propane and
provides 3 electric car outlets
for public use.

transportation.

Hydro’s CEEP Quick Start
Preparing to develop the CEEP:
• Two webinar’s and one all day seminar in 2010.
• Reviewing other community’s energy plans.
Framing the CEEP:
• District staff identified a number of tools and actions that could be included in
Enter
BC Hydro’s CEEP Quick Start.
• District staff identified a number of tools and actions that could be included in
an action plan; but,
• how to calculate whether combination of actions would reach the District’s
target.

2011 LGMA Conference - BC Hydro’s CEEP Quick Start Presentation.
Initial interest in CEEP QuickStart:
• a useable tool to establish a energy plan for rural BC communities at a
responsible cost: Staff time.
• opportunity to determine if the District was heading in the right direction; and
whether updating OCP policies was required.whether updating OCP policies was required.
• opportunity to further engage and inform District Council.
• Support - BC Hydro, Community Energy Association, Province.
• Facilitation - Community Energy Association.
August 2011 - Workshop for District Council and staff.
Current:
• Finalizing CEEP.
• MOU – Potential Biomass Energy System and local job creation.

1. Small communities have limited resources & capacity to undertake planning and implementation
2. Partnerships are important in rural communities
…with neighbouring communities…with government agencies…with First Nations
3. Plans must be realistic and achievable
Conclusions
3. Plans must be realistic and achievable
4. GHG Offset Costs should remain in the community or region and be available to develop alternatives and to encourage programs that reduce GHG’s

Compact Infrastructure Value
• Calgary will save $11.2 billion over 60 years if build compact, 33% savings in infrastructure– roads, transit, water, recreation, fire, and schools
• US EPA Study estimates infrastructure 32% to 47% less expensive to build compact47% less expensive to build compact
• Doubling residential density while increasing nearby employment, transit, and mixed use can decrease VMT by 25%.

1. What would you like to find out more about from our presenters:
• Community energy and emissions (inventorying, modelling,
planning)
• Public involvement and visualizations
• Working with nearby communities
Questions/Discussion
• Working with nearby communities
• Innovative land use policies (e.g., zoning, bylaws) or funds
• Use of external experts; adopting others’ GHG targets
2. Are there innovative energy and emissions tools or approaches
you would like to share (e.g., community involvement)?
3. Are there examples of using these planning processes and
tools to facilitate economic development?”68
