RECO~ATIONt
For information only.

B~ KGROUND gt COMMENTS:
Attached is an information package regarding the International Year of the Family. The package
is sponsored by Health and Welfare Canada(federal) and the Ministry of Sociai
Services(provincial) and targets various community groups, governments, businesses, etc. to
support the declaration.

I suggest that the EPC recommend to Council to support this declaration. Unfortunately,
Engineering does not have the resources to further explore promotion of this event. However,
various City owned facilities should be made aware of this United Nations initiative:
Wilson Centre (Seniors involvement)
Hyde Creek (satellite pools for the summer: Robert Hope, Routley, Sun Valley,
Centennial)
Rec Centre (children's activities throughout the year)

SUBJECT: DRAFT ENERGY STRATEGY PLAN - B.C. ENERGY COUNCIL

RECOMMENDATIO¹
l.

That Committee receive this memorandum for information only.

BACKGROUND S~cMMENTS
The Dratt Energy Str'ategy Plan contains background information, views of the council and proposed
recontmendations for a sustainable energy strategy and a description of the processes undertaken to develop
them.
The Plan does not forecast demand or supply for fuels or electricity; however, it examines how, whe~e ar d why
energy is produced and used — the factors underlying consumption and production. The Plan proposes a
definition of sustainable energy and asks what is required for progress towards it. The energy sustainability
requires that energy policy act not only on the suppliers of fuels and electricity, but also directly on the users,
builders, manufacturers and planuer of the machines, vehicles., buildings and transportation networks that use
energ
The B.C. Energy Council emphasizes the role of municipal governments in a transition to energy sustainability
and the policy framework will be shiged to provide opportunities, as well as responsibilities, to municipalities.

The underlying concepts of the Draft Energy Strategy Plan are explained in the attached report and a 30-minute
video, Energy Sustainability and the Planning of Cities and Towns.

This information newsletter is intended as an update on the development

of the product stewardship programs for common household hazardous
wastes in B.C. It provides information on ihe status of British Columbia's
newest stewardship program for paint management and provides
answers to some frequently asked questions regarding the Post-consumer Paint initiative.

n 1982 the Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks opened eight

Renie D'Aquila

Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) collection depots to divert
HHW from going into municipal land gills. In 1991, the Ministry
adopted a polluter-pay principle, whereby the costs of disposing of
waste becomes the responsibility of those who produce, sell and use
products requiring proper disposal. An HHW pilot project was established in
1991 and the eight depots were used to track the types and quantities of HHW
being generated in the province.

On April 8, 1994 the Ministry issued a local news release to the eight
communities around the province that hosted Household Hazardous Waste
Collection Events, stating effective immediately the pilot program was discontinued, and would be replaced by industry funded and operated (IFO) stewardship programs. Product stewardship programs encourage responsibility for
management of products from their production to their eventual disposal or
treatment. This new direction was a central recommendation in Waste Reduction Commissioner Dorothy Caddell's recently released report Greener Homes
Cleaner Communities.

Industry is working with the Ministry to establish comprehensive, industry-funded and operated stewardship programs for the most common types of
leftover HHW, such as paint and pesticides. These programs will compliment
the existing product stewardship program for used oil, whereby consumers may
conveniently return their used oil for recycling.

he Household Hazardous Waste Collection Event system evolved
into a provincially funded pilot project intended to provide information to the Ministry about the types and quantities of hazardous
products stored and disposed of by householders.

The project completed its mandate. Although the HHW Collection Event
pilot project was an effective vay to gather information about waste generation, it was an expensive method for operating a collection and recycling
system. The HHW Collection Events collected less than 0.5 per cent of HHW
generated annually in the province and cost the taxpayers an average of $ L3
million per year.
As a result of the costs associated with the HHW Collection Events, the
pilot project was discontinued and the Ministry of Environment, Lands.
and Parks, in cooperation with industry, is in the process of developing
product stewardship systems for the three main types of HHW - paints, sol vents
and pesticides. Paints are being addressed first
since they make up the argest portion of the HHW

stream.

occasional basis, the post-consumer product
stewardship systems are intended to provide
year-round collection services throughout
British Columbia. This expanded service
will greatly reduce the quantities of HHW
currently being disposed of in sewers and
landfills and provide British Col umbians with
convenient collection or access to return
HHW for proper treatment and disposal. In
addition, the new systems will shift the costs for
recycling, treatment and disposal from British
Columbia taxpayers to the producers and consumers of household hazardous products.
