J I SCAD RECEIVED JUN 2 6 2015 CH AJa l I am writing to advise the district of the art gallery's plans to bold a month long celebration of Squamish Nation arts and culture in July 2016. We've all heard that the lower Sunshine Coast sits in the traditional territory of the Squamish Nation. But not many of us know what this necessarily means. Members of our community have a growing interest and desire to support aboriginal reconciliation and cultural development. This exhibit aims to help reintroduce a Squarnish cultural presence on the lower Sunshine Coast through the development of a community to community friendship between Gibsons and the Squamish Nation. We have recently learned that the BC Arts Council and Events Host BC will be considering contributions of financial support. A letter from the SCRD indicating your moral support of a Squamish Nation art exhibit at GPAG will go a long way in helping us secure funding for this community wide event. Something along the lines of.. To Whom it May Concern, The Sunshine Coast Regional District is located within the traditional territories of the Sechelt and Squamisb Nations. The district supports the Gibsons Public Art Gallery's efforts to host a local celebration of Squamisb Nation art and culture" should be sufficient. Our application deadline is July 14th. Your assistance with this is most appreciated. Thank you for your continued support of local arts! Over the year leading up to this exhibition, we will be seeking sponsorships from local businesses and civic organizations.

SCRD- REGULAR BOARD STAFF REPORT: 2015-2018 STRATEGIC PLAN 2 DISCUSSION The staff report outlining the approved process is available on the SCRD website. In summary, the Board and staff reviewed the previous Strategic Plan, considered emerging trends and issues for the Sunshine Coast and reviewed key corporate policy documents in order to begin the development of the Board Vision, Mission, Values, and Key Strategic Directions including objectives and targets. Attached is the final draft 2015-2018 Strategic Plan for adoption. COMMUNICATIONS Staff have prepared a comprehensive Communications Plan with Objectives, Key Messages and Tactics to inform both internal and external audiences. In addition to the strategies listed below, the Strategic Plan will also be forwarded to the Council of each of the three Municipalities and added to the agenda for the upcoming Intergovernmental meeting. Staff propose to publicize the Plan through: 1. News release announcing adoption 2. Full Page advertisements (The Local, Coast Reporter & Harbour Spiel) 3. SCRD Website 4. Facebook advertisement 5. Social Media (Twitter, Facebook) (announcing release of plan followed with a breakdown by strategic direction) 6. Design and print posters to promote vision, mission and goals from the strategic plan for all SCRD facilities 7. Advertisement in Fall/Winter Recreation Guide 8. Radio ads to run for two weeks 9. Distribute hard copies to Libraries and Reading Rooms on the Sunshine Coast 10. Articles in monthly Coast Current newsletter highlighting work in progress for each success indicator. 11. Email to all staff 12. Article for staff newsletter with ongoing updates/highlights of various aspects of the plan to reinforce messages 13. Staff meeting(s) to present plan 14. Incorporate into orientation material for new employees. In keeping with our sustainability goals, staff are not recommending printing copies of the Plan for wide distribution to the community. However, as an alternative, post cards could be printed and mailed directing the public to the SCRD website. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS It is anticipated that the majority of the budget allocated for the strategic planning process will be expended before implementing the Communications Plan. In order to undertake all of the initiatives noted above (including post cards), Staff suggest a financial plan amendment of $10,000. 27
