Columbia River Treaty Local Governments Committee
Terms of Reference
August 2011
Background
Whereas:
1. The Columbia River Treaty (CRT) ratified by Canada and the USA in 1964 provided benefits for Pacific Northwest region as a whole but has specific regional and local impacts to the area known as the Canadian Columbia Basin (the Region).
2. Consideration is currently being given by US and Canadian Entities based on an opportunity to renew, amend or terminate the CRT and some of its sub-agreements.
3. Local governments within the Region (Local Governments) have expressed a desire to actively and meaningfully engage in decisions around the future of the CRT on behalf of the residents of the Region (Basin Residents).
Therefore:
Local Governments have agreed to work together in creating the Columbia River Treaty Committee (CRT Committee) to assist Local Governments and Region residents to engage in decisions around the future of the CRT and work collaboratively with Columbia Basin Trust (CBT) on this issue.
1. Role:
The CRT Committee will provide a coordinated venue to:
- Ensure Local Governments of the region are actively engaged in CRT related issues.
- Create opportunities for dialogue and consultation with Canadian Provincial and Federal agencies around CRT related issues
- Work with CBT to create education and awareness activities in the Region to increase Local Government and Basin Residents understanding around CRT related issues.
- Work to help Canadian Provincial and Federal agencies to understand regional views, values and interests with respect to the CRT.
- Create mechanisms that consider Basin Residents’ views in any discussions related to the future of the CRT and where appropriate, advocate for specific interests of the region.
CBT will provide support and expert advice to the Committee as required and agreed to between CBT and the Committee.
2. Responsibility:
a) The CRT Committee will be responsible for developing a workplan that identifies specific actions to address the items identified in section 1 above.
b) Members of the CRT Committee will be responsible for reporting back to the Local Government that appointed them to the Committee.
c) Participation by Local Government representatives on the Committee does not preclude any Local Government from taking independent action with respect to any CRT matter.
3. Authority:
The CRT Committee’s authority is limited to the roles identified in section 1 above and the tasks and projects outlined in the CRT Committee workplan that is to be developed.
The CRT Committee, and members of the Committee, will not represent the interests of the individual Local Governments unless explicit authority is provided by these entities.
4. Membership:

- 2 by Regional District of Central Kootenay
- 2 by Regional District of East Kootenays
- 2 by Regional District of Kootenay Boundary
- 2 by Columbia Shuswap Regional District
- 1 by the Village of Valemount
- 1 by the Association of Kootenay Boundary Local Government
Membership may be expanded to include other Local Governments, including First Nations, as and when determined by the Committee.
The Committee will select its own Chair and Vice Chair.
Members do not necessarily have to be elected officials.
5. Appointment and Removal Process
Appointments to the CRTC will be for a term of 3 years and may be renewed by the respective Local Governments.
Members may be removed or replaced at the discretion of each Local Government.
The CRT Committee may request to the respective Local Government that individual Members be replaced.
6. Membership Commitment:
Members will be expected to
a) Attend a minimum of 4 annual meetings in person (generally held in the Region).
b) Attend teleconferences and other meetings as required and schedule permits.
c) To the best of their abilities assist in carrying out the roles and responsibilities of the CRT Committee as identified in Sections 1 & 2 above.
