Revelstoke Community Forest Corporation celebrates 20 years with 10.5-millionth tree
Geoff Battersby, the chair of the Revelstoke Community Forest Corporation, plants the company’s 10.5 millionth tree – or somewhere around that number. The Times Review looks at the past, present and future of the company in this three part series. Alex Cooper/Revelstoke Times Review
20 years ago, the Revelstoke Community Forest Corporation was launched amidst a local forest industry that was recovering from a downturn in the 1980s and in search of sustainability Alex Cooper
reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com
Last week, under partly-cloudy skies, Geoff Battersby, the chair of the Revelstoke Community Forest Corporation, planted a small cedar tree in a cut block along the Key Forest Service Road overlooking Lake Revelstoke and the Downie Arm. Across the lake, the iconic Frenchman’s Cap was shrouded in clouds. The tree was about the 10.5-millionth planted by RCFC in its 20 years. In 1993, the Revelstoke forest industry was in a state of transition. The dark years of the 1980s – when Downie Timber was closed for several years – were in the past, but the industry was still on shaky ground.
Downie’s struggles in the 1980s meant it lost its tree farm licenses. As a result, very little wood being logged in the area was going to Revelstoke mills. The land in the area was grouped into one large tree farm license – TFL 23, which stretch south and north of town and was owned by Westar Timber, a Vancouver-based company. “The land use debates, it was in the hey day of that,” Jack Heavenor, one of the owners of Downie Timber at the time, told me. “There were serious campaigns going on to greatly reduce the level of commercial forestry and to set aside large parts of forests for no commercial activity.” Amidst that backdrop, Westar decided to sell off its forest licenses, including TFL 23. The large license
was divided in two. South of Revelstoke, it went to Pope & Talbot. North of Revelstoke, Evans Forest Products, which owned a mill in Golden amongst several others, offered to buy the license and a mill in Malakwa for $9 million. “The timber supply basket in the Revelstoke area, if it had gone to Evans, it would have had a fairly significant impact for Downie and for the community,” said David Raven, who was the manager of the Revelstoke forest district. “And the community had a long history of seeing the trees going past its doors.” The matter reached its head in the fall of 1992. During public hearings on the sale, the City of Revelstoke intervened opposing the deal. In October, about 500 people came out
to a hearing at the community centre that lasted for four hours. “The hue and cry in those days was local control of local resources,” said Dr. Geoff Battersby, who was mayor at the time and a key political leader behind the start of RCFC. “It was always a concern with the fact there was all this wood being cut locally but none of it was being processed locally, so that was the community interest.” Ultimately the Evans’ deal required ministry approval. In December, acting forest minister Art Charbonneau turned down the sale, saying “the proposed transfer, as submitted, would not balance the social and economic impacts on (Revelstoke, Golden
and Sicamous).” Evans was given the opportunity to come up with a new deal, and the City of Revelstoke also started working on its own proposal to buy the TFL. For the next few months, the issue graced the front page of the Revelstoke Review. The city hired a consultant to study the TFL and determine its value. “Myself and a few other people thought that if the city got involved in a tree farm licence, as owners, that would have a positive impact on a trend towards broader public support of forestry,” said Heavenor. From a business perspective, a community forest would help ensure Downie’s timber supply.

The Partners follow 2 basic principles: 1) They work with an Ethiopian partner on each project, usually a community or local organization. Their partner proposes the project and is required to contribute at least 15% of the total cost in cash, labour, or materials. 2) 100% of any donation to Partners goes directly toward project and programming costs in Ethiopia. Administrative costs are covered by Friends of the Horn of Africa, a sister organization that is funded by their directors and staff, and a growing number of committed individuals, trade unions, corporations, and foundations.

Crossing rivers is an inescapable fact of life in Ethiopia. About 90% of the population live in the “Highlands”, a mountainous area crisscrossed by numerous rivers, many of which drain into the Blue Nile. Most of these rivers are easily crossed during the dry season but become impassable during the rainy season from June through September. Yet this does not prevent people from trying to cross, for a variety of reasons. They may be seeking medical care, trying to reach the market to sell their crops or pick up supplies, or simply trying to get to school. Every year deaths by drowning are an unfortunate but common occurrence. Bridges not only save lives, they give communities year round access

to all available services. Two criteria are always considered in the decision to build a bridge. First it is important to determine how many people will use the bridge and second how many deaths per year will be prevented by building the bridge. Small rivers have an average of 5 - 15 drownings per year. Last year alone 38 people were swept away as they attempted to cross the Blue Nile at the site of Partners most recent bridge. Partners completed their fourteenth footbridge, this one across the Blue Nile. In a remote area, 26 kilometres from any road, the bridge will be used by 250,000 people.

Revelstoke welcomes attention from new B.C. local government auditor Aaron Orlando
editor@revelstoketimesreview.com
City officials are welcoming an upcoming review by new auditor general for local government Basia Ruta, who yesterday announced plans to examine 18 municipalities across the province. The new Auditor General for Local Government (AGLG) was created last year and Ruta was appointed in November of 2012. Her office will focus on performance audits – not financial ones – and will provide recommendations on economy, efficiency and effectiveness. While in Revelstoke, she’ll be exploring the value Revelstoke taxpayers get for the services provided by the municipality. The audit announced on May 29 will focus specifically on ‘operational procurement’ – or the value the city gets when buying equipment and supplies. Across the province, municipal leaders reacted negatively when the new auditor position was created, but Revelstoke city council supported the move, seeing it as an opportunity to get audit services at reduced cost. “I look forward to this audit as another positive step in improving city operations,” said city councillor Steve Bender, who is the chairperson of the city’s finance committee. The city’s chief administrative offi-
cer Tim Palmer also welcomed the audit. “We expect that we will learn from the process and that the findings will help us make improvements that facilitate our quest to bring the best value for our citizens,” he said in a statement. The creation of the auditor’s office has been supported by business groups who monitor and criticize local government spending and performance, such as the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) and the BC Chamber of Commerce. “B.C.’s business owners are pleased the government has shown leadership by establishing an independent Office of the Auditor General for Local Government,” said CFIB executive director Laura Jones in a statement in January. “Taxpayer accountability is always welcome. We are hopeful that municipalities will recognize the opportunity to provide British Columbians with greater transparency on how their tax dollars are spent and focus on providing the best value possible.” BC Chamber CEO John Winter said the new auditor could create “increased transparency and accountability on how their tax dollars are spent.” In a statement, auditor general Ruta promised transparency: “I intend to make sure the AGLG is a
valuable and objective resource for all of British Columbia’s local governments, helping them provide the greatest possible value for every tax dollar they spend. Under my leadership, this office will be independent, accessible, fair and transparent as we carry out performance audits of local governments.” The announcement of the audit is part of a four-phase audit process; the city will receive more information in the near future. The results of the Revelstoke audit are due before Mar. 31, 2014. During the financial plan process in April and May, one of the last items cut from the budget was an operations review, which meant hiring an outside consultant to review city operations. About $40,000 was budgeted for the study. The cut was opposed by city councillor Tony Scarcella, a perennial outspoken critic of city spending. He argued the study would point out opportunities for saving and save the city money in the long term. The City of Revelstoke is currently auditing the fire department’s operations.
Council reacts to financial performance report At their May 28 meeting, city
councillors reacted to finance director Graham Inglis’s 2013 Revelstoke Financial Performance Report. The report (see Finance Director warns of Revelstoke’s deteriorating financial position, News, May 29) showed Revelstoke’s financial picture compared unfavourably to provincial averages and a comparison set of communities. Acting Mayor Linda Nixon said the report is a useful assessment tool for council: “It helps us look at our net financial position, which is showing the negative, which means some strategic change had to happen, and that’s what we made this year,” Nixon said. “We need to look in two years to see if we’ve made a real significant switch in the direction the City of Revelstoke is moving.” Coun. Chris Johnston pointed out troubling trends: “It’s cause for concern in some areas in terms of our per capita spending on certain areas and I think we need to be taking a look at it.” He said council needed to heed the report. “In conclusion, it’s not very encouraging. I think it’s something council should take a good look at and do comparisons with other communities.” He pointed out recreation, transit and protective services as examples of Revelstoke services that had high costs compared with other communities. Coun. Steve Bender said the report
was a valuable look at city finances: “I suggest anybody interested should at least read the summary at the back.” Coun. Tony Scarcella expressed concern over spending and debt. “I’m really worried. We haven’t been addressing those concerns. I’m very concerned that the young generation cannot live in Revelstoke in the future.” Scarcella emphasized the numbers were from 2011 and the situation has continued to deteriorate, saying there is, “a lot of tax increases, a lot of spending that doesn’t show up.” Coun. Gary Starling said he’d been reading this annual report since about 2007. “It’s been fairly consistent – some of the worrisome areas – we seem to be not addressing them. I agree with councillor Scarcella; we’re not addressing them aggressively enough – some of these issues that seem to be carried on year to year. “I think council should be looking at this – at least back three or four years – and looking at the direction we’re going because I don’t think we’re turning the ship around quick enough. There is some real interesting per capita costs here that are escalating. “I would encourage the public to look at that as well and be more engaged and we can come up with some creative solutions [about] how to fix it,” Starling said.
BC Hydro altering 2013 operations due to construction at Mica Dam Times Review staff

REVELSTOKE MINOR HOCKEY
BC Hydro will experience some changes in its operations this year due to construction at Mica Dam, but a repeat of last year’s flood management conditions is considered “very unlikely, barring unforeseen extreme rainfall events.” According to spokesperson Jen Walker-Larsen, water runoff from the mountains throughout the Columbia Basin is expected to be near normal in 2013. However, BC Hydro will be limiting power generation at Mica Dam for most of the sum-
mer due to ongoing construction and maintenance work. “As a result, outflows from Mica and downstream Revelstoke dams are expected to be lower than normal from July through September,” she said in an e-mail. The Arrow Lakes Reservoir is re-filling earlier than normal due to a warmer than average spring and recent heavy rains. The reservoir is expected to be peak at close to full pool sometime in late June or early July. Because of the reduced inflows from Mica and Revelstoke, Arrow Lakes will likely
be lower than usual in late summer. The forecast water level for August/September is close to the current water level. There will be a little spilling from the Revelstoke Dam this summer to help maintain water levels on Lake Revelstoke. The Kinbasket Reservoir was drawn down 10 feet lower than normal to prepare for the reduced generation at the Mica Dam. It is expected to reach full pool in September. Generation will be increase on the Peace River to make up for the loss of power generation at Mica, said Walker-Larsen.

Nearly one in four vehicles left unlocked on Revelstoke streets Alex Cooper
reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com
Car hopping – or the habit of looking for unlocked cars and breaking into them – has long been a problem in Revelstoke. It’s why a team of RCMP officers and auxiliary were out last Friday evening. Dubbing themselves the VISE (Vehicle Inventory & Securement Enforcement) team, their goal was to see just how many people leave their cars unlocked, and warn people of the risks. I joined Const. Gary McLaughlin, his two daughters and RCMP auxiliary officer Eric Scarcella on a patrol of Southside. We left from RCMP headquarters on bicycles at 7 p.m. with the sun slowly setting. “In winter, this is when it’s pitch black out,” McLaughlin explained. They stopped only at cars parked

on the street, peering in the windows to see if they were unlocked, and to see if there any valuables visible. If the cars were unlocked, they stuck a “crime prevention notice” under the windshield wiper. On it was a checklist with yes and no questions: – Does your vehicle have an antitheft device? – Are there any personal belongings in plan view? – Is your vehicle locked? – Have you taken all suitable steps to prevent auto crime? A few people came out to find out what was going on, worried they were getting ticketed. “We’ve been having lots of thefts from vehicles lately, so we’re just going around warning people,” Const. Gary McLaughlin told one woman. “It’s not a ticket.”
The culprits will bump a car first to see if it has an alarm. If it doesn’t, they’ll give the door handle a pull, grab what they can and take off. They normally do this on the way home from the bar. “It’s locals, absolutely,” said McLaughlin. “The myth that it’s ski bums is absolutely false.” The results of the walk around, by neighbourhood: – Johnson Heights: 32 per cent of vehicles unlocked – Southside: 40 per cent of vehicles unlocked – Farwell: 16 per cent of vehicles unlocked – Downtown: 13 per cent of vehicles unlocked – Arrow Heights: 28 per cent of vehicle unlocked – Total: 689 cars checked, 156 unlocked (23 per cent)
Developer ordered to remediate streams after Eagle Bay clear-cutting Alex Cooper
reporter@revelstoketimesreview.com
The owner of the land south of Shelter Bay that was clear-cut in recent years is appealing a government order to remediate 12 streams that were affected by the logging. “An investigation by local compliance and enforcement staff was conducted on the Sage Investment private lands to ensure the company
was adhering to the Water Act,” said Heidi Zilkie, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. “As a result of this work, a Water Act order was issued to Sage Investments in April instructing the company to hire a qualified professional to develop a plan to remediate the identified streams.” Zilkie added that Sage Investments was appealing the order.
According to Zilkie, 12 streams were impacted due to a failure to remove temporary stream crossings. The Times Review reported in July 2012 that Sage Investments was being investigated for its work on its private holdings in the Eagle Bay area. Ron Thomson, the land manager for Sage Investments, said he would wait until a ruling was made on the appeal before commenting.
“It would just be a bunch of he said, she said and pointing fingers, so it probably doesn’t make much sense,” he said. “Just wait for it to play out and we’ll be happy to fill you in on what it’s all about when it’s over.” If the appeal fails, the company could be fined $230 for each violation ticket issued. The company could also be prosecuted under the Water Act, in which case it could
face a maximum penalty of $1 million and/or up to one year in prison, said Zilkie. Sage Investments is seeking to develop the property. An application was made last year to have a portion of the property removed from the Agricultural Land Reserve; a decision has not been made yet. “The success of that will dictate what the next process will be,” said Thomson.

Revelstoke caribou rearing project earns $100,000 AARON ORLANDO
editor@revelstoketimesreview.com
The Revelstoke Caribou Rearing in the Wild project has received $100,000 in funding from the Shell FuellingChange program following a community effort to win support for the program in an online vote. On May 31, Shell Canada announced the Revelstoke Caribou Rearing in the Wild project (RCRW) received the top award possible. The Revelstoke-based RCRW project plans to build a maternity pen adjacent to Lake Revelstoke where pregnant caribou will be guarded during their term and until their young are established. The project has received support from a coalition of stakeholders, including representatives from forestry, backcountry recreation, conservation and government organizations. The RCRW project was profiled in the Revelstoke Times Review in an seven-part series in early 2013. Revelstoke resident and B.C. Ministry of Environment habitat officer Cory Legebokow is the RCRW president. “Revelstoke Caribou Rearing in the Wild Society thanks Shell and the public for supporting our community-based project to improve caribou calf survival,” he said. “With these funds, we can now complete the construction of the maternity pen that will protect mountain caribou and calves at their most vulnerable time.

MINE RESCUE COMPETITION
ARTS COUNCIL FOCUSES ON CONSOLIDATION Revelstoke Arts Council chairperson Carol Palladino says the umbrella arts organization is in a consolidation phase as they work to establish the new Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre. Following a “reasonably successful” first season, the council is still working on grants and funding streams to make the theatre manager’s position permanent. “Our focus is to build that and create a separate brand or identity for [the RPAC.]” Palladino said. “It needs to be seen as something that is separate from us.” She is content with the Arts Council’s position. “Where we are right now is not in a bad place,” Palladino said. She explained part of the council’s mandate is to make Revelstoke an arts destination, but it’s important to approach that goal with the right nuance. “Our mission is to really have Revelstoke be perceived as a cultural destination, but more from the point of view that it’s what we do here and that’s why people want to come – as opposed to doing things for [tourists],” she said. In the past, “cultural tourism” was the catch-phrase, but it’s fallen out of favour. It meant creating events destinations thought tourists would appreciate. Increasingly sophisticated visitors can sense a tourist trap. Now it’s about “placed-based” tourism; creating local attractions that are an authentic reflection of cultural life here. “What people who come to visit look for is something authentic,” Palladino explained. The other benefit is you can cater to local tastes at the same time. Success means creating something the community embraces. Palladino said communication – or “getting the word out” – remains a big hurdle for all kinds
Saturday June 8th 8:00am - 5:00pm Community Centre
The City of Revelstoke is pleased to host the 58th Provincial Mine Rescue and First Aid Competition.
Native Revelstoke actress Miranda Allen (above) will return to Revelstoke with Edmonton-based Theatre Prospero in July as part of a summer drama day camp that will have Revelstoke youth and children take part in a production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Auditions for parts start on June 7. The partnership between Theatre Prospero and the Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre (RPAC) is part of an effort to establish Revelstoke as a destination for arts and culture, including forming working partnerships with outside organizations.
The competition will be held on Saturday June 8th in and around the Community Centre. It will start at 8.00am and �inish at 5.00pm and feature a number of rescue competitions throughout the day for teams from around the province. There will be many opportunities for the public to see the competition and we hope as many as possible will come down to the Community Centre to watch these exciting events.

of events. In the context of increasingly fragmented information consumption, Palladino said people often tell her they had no idea certain events were happening. Palladino emphasizes consolidating their organization is the focus now. “I think what’s important is not just the cultural product you put out there, but in the background – things are done properly. The bills get paid,” she said.“I think we’ve got a good reputation on both sides of it. I think we do good programming and I think we take care of business too.”

challenge. Sure, there’s a committed and supportive arts community here. But Revelstoke is also sporty, outdoorsy and engaged in more than just the arts. “In the last community survey, arts was not highly supported by the community,” Donato said. In the coming weeks, Donato will table the city’s new culture strategy, a guiding document that will spell out city priorities in the arts. It’s a roadmap for future city and community involvement in the arts scene. “There’s a lot of partnerships involved; it’s not strictly the city involved in this. It really has to be a partnership with the arts community, businesses and other agencies,” she said. There’s a strong arts scene in Revelstoke and the city is involved. She gave public art projects, heritage efforts and youth arts programming as a few of many examples. “We are already doing a lot. We have a really active cultural group that does a lot for the resources they have,” she said. The new strategy will explore ways to get more residents engaged in the arts, and will explore opportunities for tourism components in arts and culture somewhat. One new direction will be to seek to better coordinate cultural activities – including outdoor culture – with Revelstoke Mountain Resort. Donato said awareness and affordibility were identified as issues holding back the cultural scene here. The city’s culture strategy is expected in the coming weeks and
Revelstoke Tourism hires events coordinator Revelstoke Chamber of Commerce executive director Judy Goodman said the newly-minted events co-ordinator Amy Flexman (see story this issue) will do much to co-ordinate and create new cultural events for the city. Flexman will work on all kinds of events, including arts and culture. Goodman explained the position will help organizers of new and existing events better access many resources, such as funding opportunities, partnerships with the private sector, databases, web marketing and social media marketing. Goodman encouraged those with existing and new events to get in touch with their plans. From a business perspective, Goodman said the challenge is always creating events that will attract people to town during non-peak weekends. We’re full in the summer and winter, but we need to generate activity during the shoulder seasons. She said the community would welcome new arts events that could achieve this. This effort to create events during quiet times was stated in a different way by many interviewed. There are only so many patrons to go around. Coordinating is key; two big shows on the same Saturday night means splitting a finite audience in two and jeopardizing the viability of both.

A strong finish to the high school track season was punctuated at the B.C. High School Track Championships in Langley this past weekend, with a silver medal, four top eight finishes, and hopes for the future of Revelstoke Secondary track and field. Peter Behncke, as expected, battled it out with Maple Ridge’s Mark Kalmykov for the gold in the men’s hammer throw on the first day at McLeod Athletic Park. After opening with a 53.09m throw, Behncke was bested when Kalmykov launched a 54.65m toss. Both athletes were unable to ramp up those distances in their next five attempts, with Behncke settling for the silver medal to
add to the bronze medal he won last year at provincials. Behncke and Kalmykov will compete as teammates this fall as they both join the Simon Fraser University Clan track and field team in September. Chris Andrews, as a grade 10 competing against 11’s and 12’s, did well with two top-eight finishes, throwing 13.18m in shot put for seventh, and chucking the 12-pound hammer 46.08m for a 6th place finish. With two years of eligibility left in high school track, Andrews has set himself up nicely for the coming years. The future also looks bright with some up and coming junior athletes. Peter Grimm surprised the junior shot putters with an 11.27m throw to finish in the top eight. Competing against seniors,
Jacqueline Cottingham ran a season’s best time in the 400m hurdles, missing out on finals by a mere 0.3 seconds, breaking Melissa Stenset’s junior school record in the process. Paige Makarweicz also raised some eyebrows jumping 1.45m in the high jump, adding her name to the Revelstoke Secondary School track record page. Rounding out the top 10 finishers, Mack Reynolds broke the 30m mark in the junior discus, a distance he’s tried to break all year long. With over 50 students as part of the track and field team this year, and a staff of five coaches, the Revelstoke Secondary School Track and Field team continues to be arguably the strongest high school track and field team in the interior of the province.
U11, U12 boys combine for wins in Nakusp Contributed by Revelstoke Youth Soccer Association
The U11 and U12 boys soccer teams had a very busy weekend June 1 and 2. On June 1, the teams combined to travel to Nakusp for two games. The games were played full field, 11 aside and the boys very much enjoyed the experience. They won the first game 2-0 with goals coming from Tyler Jamieson and John Echlin. They won the second game 4-0 with goals being scored by Jamieson, Grady Powell, Raymond Speerbrecker and David Kline. Coach Alan Chell said the team played great positional soccer with
strong passing and was particularly impressed with the play of Powell and Spencer Spannier. On Sunday, June 2, the U12 boys travelled to Kamloops. Two games were played and twice the sky opened up on them raining hard. The first game saw a close 2-1 loss to Vernon despite a hard push near the end and and some missed opportunities. The boys dried off and came back under a sunny sky to face Kelowna. Once again they were down by one in the last minute after goals from Ben MacDonald and Justin Angelozzi. A late push resulted in a last minute goal for Kelowna, who won 4-2 just as the
rain came down again. The boys continue to improve and are competing in every game they play. Come out this Sunday, June 9, to support them in their only home jamboree this season. On Sunday, the U11 boys lost to Kelowna and Penticton by identical 6-1 scores. In both games, the team started well but the stronger teams wore them down as the games progressed. Caleb Guenther scored in the first game and Grady Powell in the second. Chell praised the work effort of Powell, Jamieson and Simon Blackie. Next weekend, the boys are off to Kamloops for another jamboree.

RSS cheerleading squad takes off stand proudly, her hands spread out in triumph above. “I got up with no hands,” one girl squealed after a particularly smooth lift. This being only the second practice, most lifts weren’t so smooth, but they were getting there. The cheerleading squad started after a group of grade nine students approached teacher Nicole McKenzie about sponsoring a team. McKenzie agreed, and she enlisted the help of gymnastics coach Jill Drake and dance instructor Glynis Wearing to help out. There were 20 girls at practice. “We definitely have enough interest,” McKenzie told me while the girls practiced. “One practice we

Revelstoke Secondary School was mostly empty when I showed up last Monday. Most students had gone, except for a few dozen in the gym. At one end, two track and field athletes were working on their high jump ahead of last week’s provincial championships. At the other, 20 girls, mostly from grades 8–10 were in the midst of their second ever cheerleading practice. They were gathered in groups of five. One girl was in the middle, while the other four stood around. They were practicing a basic lift, whether the four girls would lift up the one, who then
started the dance routine and we started this.” In addition to the lifts, the squad also practiced a dance routine, complete with pom-poms. They plan on performing at Begbie View Elementary this Friday, June 7, and at Columbia Park Elementary next Friday, June 14. They plan on cheering at school sports games and they also want to take part in community events. “We’re going to go into the Canada Day parade and do some cheers as we’re walking down,” said McKenzie. Next year, they want to enter B-division competitions and, if interest holds, eventually the goal is to move up to the very competitive senior division.

Not everyone supported the city’s involvement in buying the TFL. According to Heavenor, there was opposition in the NDP government in Victoria from people who didn’t want to see the timber go to the non-unionized Downie mill. There was also a right-wing contingent in town who didn’t think the government should be involved in business. Evans came up with a revised deal that would see 35 per cent of the wood cut go to mills in Revelstoke, but the city opposed that agreement, saying the allocated wood was all low-grade, while the high-grade wood would go elsewhere. In early February 1993, the two sides came to an agreement to split the TFL 50-50. The license was valued at $7 million. Garth Langford, the city’s consultant, said the deal would provide “an excellent return to the city.� According to the Review, the city would pay for its share of the land using $1 million in reserve funds that came from the sale of the old Illecillewaet Dam. Three mills – Downie Timber, Cascade Cedar and Kozek Sawmill, would contribute to the sale in exchange for 50 per cent of the annual cut. The rest would come from a bank loan. “The fact the community felt so strongly about this and wanted to do it was what made the corporate partners come on board, because it showed community support, and that’s not enjoyed by a lot of mills elsewhere in the province,� said Battersby. Because of the size of the deal, the matter had to go to referendum. An intense battle was waged in the local media, with a big advertising campaign in support of the deal and a letter writing campaign oppos-
ing it. On Feb. 20, 1993, Revelstokians voted 76.8 per cent in favour of the agreement, with turnout at 60 per cent of voters. “The fact the TFL was purchased by the city was a major difference from other tenures,� said Raven. “It was not given to the city by the province like in other tenures, it was purchased.� Evans and the city divided the TFL into north and south line, with the Goldstream River being the dividing line. The city opted for the southern half, around the Downie Arm, a 119,000-hectare parcel named TFL 56. In April 1993, the city established the Revelstoke Community Forest Corporation. It was unique at the time – only Mission, B.C., had a community forest then. Revelstoke differed in that RCFC was set up as an arms-length corporation run by a seven-member board of directors, whereas Mission’s forest was run as a department of the city. The board was to be made up of four city councillors or city staff, and three members of the community. The city has 100 per cent ownership, with the partnering forestry companies getting the rights to 50 per cent of the timber, at cost. Doug Weir, the city’s director of economic development, was named the general manager, though he was quickly replaced by Bob Clarke, who came from Canfor’s operations in northern B.C. He managed RCFC for its first 14 years. “It was something really unique,� Clarke said. “I think it’s still unique today where you have a community that puts their own money on the table to buy this thing with three industry partners mixed in.� For much of the time, the company turned a profit and built up a steady supply of reserves. It did this despite some signifi-
cant challenges. Notably, there was a silviculture deficit and millions of trees needed to be planted. There was also the challenge of logging on the steep slops of the B.C. Interior, and it had to be profitable. “I think the ground itself, the terrain and the trees and the amount of lowgrade (timber) – all those things required a level of management,� said Clarke, who left RCFC in 2007 and now calls Sorrento, B.C., home. “Also being sensitive to the community’s values for the areas. We had everything from rabid log it all to save it all. Somewhere in there we had to find the happy medium where we were sensitive to the values that were out there.� The city was breaking new ground with the founding of RCFC. Since then, community forests have spread throughout the province. According to the British Columbia Community Forest Association, there are now 57 community forests either existing or in the planning stages. RCFC was profitable for its first decade, building up sizable retained earnings that it re-invested back into the land. It posted its first loss in 2003-04 – about $500,000 – the result of a global drop in timber market prices. It endured a string of losses during the recent global downturn and has posted a small profit the past two years. A few years ago, large areas of the TFL were set aside as mountain caribou habitat and RCFC’s average annual cut was reduced to 90,000 cubic-metres from 100,000 cubicmetres. Last week I spent a day touring a portion of TFL 56 with general manager Mike Copperthwaite and operations manager Kevin Bollefer. Next week I will look at what goes on at the TFL today. Part three will look at the future of RCFC.
