I am writing in response to your request under the Act for the report that evaluated and
scored all criteria for the bids by AFBD JV, Clengroup Constructors, Peace River Hydro
Partners and Salini-lmpregilo for the Site C Main civil works contract and recommendation in
respect of the preferred bidder (which is part of the same report).
Response: We have attached a copy of the evaluation report (the "Report"). The full Report
consists of 334 pages. We have disclosed 117 of those pages -representing the Report's
entire output concerning one of the four proponents which we have chosen as an example.
We have provided all of the Report's evaluation criteria, all of which is common to each of the
proponents. However, within the 117 disclosed pages, we have redacted the evaluation
columns containing considerations/assessments/evidence/comments specific to the one
example proponent in accordance with sections 17, 21, and 22 of the Act.
We have withheld the other 217 pages in their entirety because they contain the same
evaluation criteria provided in the 117 pages and the same evaluation comments and ratings
columns specific to the other three proponents, also redacted under sections 17, 21, and 22.
To have provided you with the entire Report would have resulted in our providing you with
217 pages of evaluation criteria that is identical for all four proponents.
Section 17 of the Act permits a public body to withhold information the disclosure of which
could reasonably be expected to harm the financial or economic interests of a public body, or
is likely to have information which, if disclosed, could reasonably be expected to harm the
negotiating position of a public body. BC Hydro has redacted certain information from the
report on the basis that disclosure could result in future bidders providing bids that are not
objective, but are tailored to the bidders perception of BC Hydro's evaluation process, and
this could harm the negotiating position of BC Hydro and cause it financial harm.
British Columbia Hydro and Power Authority, 333 Dunsmuir Street, Vancouver, BC, V6B 5R3

Section 21 of the Act requires public bodies to withhold information, the disclosure of which
would reveal trade, commercial, financial, labor relations, scientific or technical information of
or about a third party that is supplied in confidence and if disclosed, could reasonably be
expected to harm significantly the competitive position or negotiating position of the third
party, or result in undue financial loss or gain to any person or organization. In view of its
section 21 obligations, BC Hydro has redacted certain information from the report on the
basis that disclosure could cause undue financial loss or gain to third parties, as these
companies may in future bid against each other.
Section 22 of the Act prohibits BC Hydro from disclosing the personal information of an
individual to a third party if the disclosure of that information would be an unreasonable
invasion of the individual's personal privacy, and BC Hydro has therefore redacted signatures
and names of third parties that are contained in the report. BC Hydro has also redacted the
names of the evaluators on the basis of section 22(3), which presumes that disclosure of
personal information related to the work history of individuals would be an unreasonable
invasion of their privacy.
If you have any questions regarding our response to your request for records, please call me.
You may also ask the Office of Information and Privacy Commissioner for BC ('the OIPC) to
review our response to your request. You have 30 days from the receipt of this letter to
request a review by writing to:
If you request a review, please provide the OIPC with a copy of this letter and a copy of your
request.
Yours truly,
Scott Macdonald

The Supplementary Submissions were reviewed by the Legal Advisor and a member of the Financial
Capacity Evaluation Team (who was familiar with the content of the Supplementary Addenda), to confirm
that they contained only that information required to take account of the Supplementary Addenda. The
review determined that none of the Supplementary Submissions contained superfluous information that
needed to be parsed out prior to the Supplementary Technical Submissions being included with the
relevant Proponent's Technical Submission, and the Supplementary Financial Submissions being
included with the relevant Proponent's Financial Submission.

3 EVALUATION PROCESS
An Evaluation Manual (the "Manual") was prepared to provide guidance to the implementation of the
requirements of the RFP in the evaluation of the Proposals. Prior to the Submission Time for Technical
Submissions and the Submission Time for Financial Submissions the Manual was reviewed and
approved by the Evaluation Committee. As stated in the Manual, in no event was any evaluation step
taken that did not comply with the requirements of the RFP.
On October 28, 2015 the Evaluation Committee approved some amendments to the Manual.
As allowed by Section 7.1 of the RFP the Evaluation Committee appointed three Technical Evaluation
Teams and a Financial Evaluation Team to provide assistance with the evaluation of the Technical and
Financial Submissions, respectively. Table 4 below lists the chairs of the Evaluation Teams appointed by
the Evaluation Committee.

As part of the Completeness Review undertaken on October 9, 2015, the Evaluation Manager compiled a
list of all companies and individuals named in each Proponent's Technical and Financial Submission. This
list was circulated to every person involved in the evaluation of the RFP including the Evaluation
Committee Members, Evaluation Committee Secretary, Evaluators, Evaluation Team Secretaries,
Advisors, Evaluation Manager, Legal Advisors, Fairness Advisor, Due Diligence Advisors and
Relationship Review Committee Members (collectively "Evaluation Personnel").
All Evaluation Personnel, and each company with representation by Evaluation Personnel, completed a
Relationship Disclosure Declaration and Undertaking Form. In addition and in accordance with the RFP
each Proponent submitted, as part of its Proposal, a Relationship Disclosure Statement.
Corporate Disclosure Forms from each company with representation by Evaluation Personnel;
and
The Relationship Review Committee reviewed any disclosed relationships and took appropriate action to
be satisfied that no bias, unfair advantage or conflict of interest would arise with respect to any of the
Evaluation Personnel and any of the members of a Proponent.
Evaluation orientation meetings were held on October 6 and 8, 2015 with Evaluation Personnel to review
the evaluation requirements of the RFP and to familiarize Evaluation Personnel with the Evaluation
Manual and the evaluation process, schedule and logistics. Those individuals who were not able to attend
the orientation meetings on October 6 or 8 received a separate orientation briefing prior to being
permitted access to the Technical or Financial Submissions.
The Evaluation Committee met regularly throughout the evaluation process, and met on the following
days:

Section 7.2(a) of the RFP permitted the Evaluation Committee to seek clarification of a Proposal, or any
part of a Proposal, from the Proponent and to consider such supplementary information in the evaluation
of the Proposal.
Clarification questions were issued, and responses received, by the Contact Person. In total 115
clarifications were sent to the Proponents regarding their Technical Submissions, and 21 clarifications
were sent to the Proponents regarding their Financial Submissions. Table 6 summarizes the number of
technical and financial clarifications sought from Proponents and the responses received.

Section 7.2(b) and (e) of the RFP permitted the Evaluation Committee to conduct reference checks
relevant to the Contract with any or all of the references cited in a Proposal and with any other persons
(including persons other than those listed in a Proponent's Proposal) to verify information regarding a
Proponent, and to conduct any background investigations that the Evaluation Committee considered
necessary, and to rely on and consider any relevant information in the evaluation of Proposals.
The Evaluation Committee selected references to check from the Proponents' Proposals based on the
relevance of the projects to the Main Civil Works scope, considering factors such as the size, scope and
climate of the reference projects. The Evaluation Committee also selected reference projects not
nominated by the Proponents where additional information was required.
Reference checks were selected by the Evaluation Committee and undertaken by Evaluation Committee
and Evaluation Team members. In total 18 reference checks were sought and 12 reference checks were
undertaken. The Evaluation Committee determined that they had sufficient information from the
Proponent's Proposals, Proponent interviews and the reference checks undertaken that it was not
necessary to delay the evaluation schedule in order to complete the outstanding reference checks. Table
7 summarizes the reference checks undertaken.

Section 7.2(c) of the RFP permitted the Evaluation Committee to request interviews / presentations with
any, some, or all, of the Proponents to obtain clarification of any aspect of a Proposal and consider such
supplementary information received from any interviews / presentations in the evaluation of the Proposal.
The Evaluation Committee determined that interviews were required with two of the Proponents as part of
the Evaluation Committee's evaluation of these Proponents under Section 2 of Appendix A to the RFP
(Evaluate Technical Submissions).
After conducting the interviews the Evaluation Committee decided to request interviews with the other two
Proponents in order to provide all Proponents with the same opportunity to clarify aspects of their
Proposals. These two subsequent interviews were conducted after the Evaluation Committee had
completed its evaluation of Proposals under Section 2 of Appendix A to the RFP, but prior to the
determination of Technical Credits under Section 5 of Appendix A to the RFP.
The Contact person sent a number of Proponent-specific questions to each Proponent in advance of the
Proponent's interview. In addition each Proponent was invited to provide information so as to allow the
Evaluation Committee to understand the Proponent's Work schedule, as set out in their Technical
Submission, such that the Evaluation Committee could be confident that the Proponent could perform the
Work as proposed, and for its Proposal Price.
Prior to each interview and at the start of each interview each Proponent was reminded not to discuss or
disclose it's Proposal Price during the interview. There was no discussion of Proposal Price at any of the
interviews.

BC Hydro appointed Doug Ewing and Don Fairbaim as Due Diligence Advisors for the RFP. The Due
Diligence Advisors met with the Evaluators and the Evaluation Committee to test the reasonableness of
their deliberations and process compliance.
Specifically, the Due Diligence Advisors were invited to all Evaluation Committee meetings and all
Construction, Project Management and Alternates Evaluation Team meetings. The Due Diligence
Advisors were excluded from the Financial Capacity Evaluation Team Meetings until the Evaluation
Committee had made their decision regarding the substantial satisfaction of the Technical Submissions,
and as a result reviewed only the final draft of the Financial Capacity Evaluation Summary Sheets.
The Due Diligence Advisors prepared a report upon the completion of the evaluation process, which is
attached as Appendix K.

EVALUATION
The Evaluation Committee reached its evaluation decisions as required by, and in accordance with, the
RFP, in the order of the evaluation steps as provided in Appendix A to the RFP and summarised below.
The Evaluation Committee completed its deliberations and reached a decision on each evaluation step
before completing the next evaluation step.
1. The Evaluation Committee first evaluated Technical Submissions, without reviewing Financial
Submissions.' as required by Section 2 of Appendix A to the RFP, and without reviewing any
Proponent's Supplementary Financial Submission;
3. The Evaluation Committee then evaluated and selected Alternates as required by Section 4 of
Appendix A to the RFP;
4. The Evaluation Committee then assigned Technical Credits to the Technical Submissions in
accordance with Section 5 of Appendix A to the RFP;
5. The Evaluation Committee then made additional adjustments to the Proposal Prices in
accordance with Section 6 of Appendix A to the RFP; and
6. The Evaluation Committee then identified the Preferred Proponent having regard for Section 7 of
Appendix A to the RFP.
The Evaluation Committee reached all evaluation decisions by consensus of all members of the
Evaluation Committee.
The Evaluation Committee appointed Technical Evaluation Teams to provide advice and
recommendations to the Evaluation Committee on the evaluation of the Technical Submissions.
Following their reviews, the Project Management and Construction Management Evaluation Team
members discussed their observations with the Evaluation Committee and presented their team's
conclusions to the Evaluation Committee. Attached as Appendices D and E are summaries of the Project
Management and Construction Management Evaluation Teams' reviews with particular reference to the
requirements of Sections 2 and 5 of Appendix A to the RFP. These summaries account for comments
and observations made by the Evaluation Committee.

In conducting reviews of the Technical Submissions the Technical Evaluation Teams identified some
issues that were relevant to the awarding of Technical Credits. While some issues were identified, no
decisions were taken by the Evaluation Committee out of the progressive decision sequence required by
Appendix A to the RFP.
As noted in Appendices D and E, the Project Management and Construction Management Evaluation
Teams concluded that
m|.The Evaluation Committee considered the requirements of the RFP and all evidence and information
provided by the Project Management and Construction Management Evaluation Team, as well as that
provided by reference checks and proponent interviews, to reach a consensus decision that all four
Technical Submissions demonstrated and substantially satisfied the following requirements of Section 2
of Appendix A to the RFP:
a) that the Proponent will substantially meet the requirements of the Final Draft Contract including
the design and construction requirements of the Main Civil Works;
b) the Proponent has a good understanding of the Main Civil Works and the obligations of contractor
under'the Final Draft Contract; and
1) performing the obligations and responsibilities of contractor under the Final Draft
Contract; and
2) delivering the Main Civil Works in accordance with the Final Draft Contract.
The Evaluation Committee appointed the Financial Capacity Evaluation Team to provide advice and
recommendations to the Evaluation Committee on the evaluation of the Financial Submissions with
respect to parts (a) and (b) of the below requirements of Section 3 of Appendix A to the RFP.
In order to reduce the time required for the overall evaluation the Evaluation Committee requested that
the Financial Capacity Evaluation Team commence their review of the Financial Submissions without
waiting for the completion of the evaluation of Technical Submissions. However, as required by Section 2
of Appendix A to the RFP, prior to the Evaluation Committee's decision regarding the substantial
satisfaction of the Technical Submissions, no information from a Financial Submission, including any
Supplementary Financial Submission, was made available or disclosed to any Evaluator or Advisor (with
the exception of the Fairness Advisor and Legal Advisor) that was involved with the review of Technical

Submissions, including any member of the Evaluation Committee and the Due Diligence Advisors. The
Fairness Advisor and Legal Advisor were invited to attend meetings of the Financial Capacity Evaluation
Team in order to allow them to fulfill the duties of their roles, but the Proposal Prices were not revealed to
the Fairness Advisor or the Legal Advisor until after the Evaluation Committee's decision regarding the
substantial satisfaction of the Technical Submissions. In order to facilitate the confidentiality of the
Financial Submissions from the Technical Evaluation Teams and the Evaluation Committee the Financial
Submissions were held in a different building from where the Technical Submissions were held, and the
Financial Capacity Evaluation Team held its meetings at that other location, away from the Technical
Evaluation Team's and Evaluation Committee's offices.
Following the Evaluation Committee's decision regarding the substantial satisfaction of the Technical
Submissions, members of the Financial Capacity Evaluation Team discussed their observations with the
Evaluation Committee and presented their team's conclusions to the Evaluation Committee. Attached as
Appendix F is a summary of the Financial Capacity Evaluation Team's review with particular reference to
the requirements of Section 3 of Appendix A to the RFP. This summary accounts for comments and
observations made by the Evaluation Committee.
As noted in Appendix F, the Financial Capacity Evaluation Team did not conclude as to whether the
Proponent's Financial Submissions demonstrated and substantially satisfied part (c) of the below
requirements of Section 3 of Appendix A to the RFP, as the evidence for this requirement was not
requested as part of the Financial Submission. Instead, the Evaluation Committee requested that a
member of the Financial Capacity Evaluation Team meet with a Labour Advisor to the Project
Management Evaluation Team (under strict direction that no information was to be provided by the
Financial Capacity Evaluation Team member to the Labour Advisor regarding the Financial Submissions),
so that the Financial Capacity Evaluation Team member could provide advice and recommendations to
the Evaluation Committee with regard to part (c) of the below requirements of Section 3 of Appendix A to
the RFP.The Evaluation Committee considered the requirements of the RFP and all evidence and
information provided by the Financial Capacity Evaluation Team to reach a consensus decision that all
four Financial Submissions demonstrated and substantially satisfied the following requirements of Section
3 of Appendix A to the RFP:
a) that the Proponent has arranged sufficient performance security for the Work in accordance with
the requirements of the RFP and the Final Draft Contract;
b) that the Proponent is financially viable and has the financial capacity to undertake and complete
the Work; and
c) that the Proponent will be able to retain the labour required for the performance of the Work.

This summary sheet has been prepared by the Construction Management Evaluation Team for submission to the Evaluation Committee.
Subject to the terms of RFP #1824, including Section 6.1 [Mandatory Requirements] and Section 7.2 [Evaluation of Proposals], the Evaluation Committee will evaluate the Technical Submission from each Proposal (without reviewing the Financial
Submission) to determine whether the Technical Submission demonstrates and substantially satisfies the following requirements:
(a) that the Proponent will substantially meet the requirements of the Final Draft Contract including the design and construction requirements of the Main Civil Works;
(b) the Proponent has a good understanding of the Main Civil Works and the obligations of contractor under the Final Draft Contract; and
(1) performing the obligations and responsibilities of contractor under the Final Draft Contract; and
(2) delivering the Main Civil Works in accordance with the Final Draft Contract
Qualitative descriptors are used in the summary statements in the column 'Technical Credits Evidence and Comments (including RFCs)'. Table A below provides an indication of the meaning of the qualitative descriptors used to summarise the
Construction Management Evaluation Team's with respect to sections of a Proponent's Technical Submission.

Dear Sirs/Mesdames:
Re: BC Hydro Site C Clean Energy Project - Main Civil Works ("the Project")
RFP No. 1824
I was appointed Fairness Advisor for both the RFQ and RFP phases of this Project on April 3,
2014. My report on the RFQ phase was delivered on July 31, 2014. This constitutes my report on
the RFP phase.
In my capacity as Fairness Advisor I reviewed various iterations as well as the final version of
the RFP documentation and the final version and Evaluation Guidelines. In addition, I attended
more than twenty collaborative meetings with the four proponents to the RFP process and more
than 30 meetings with the technical and financial evaluation committees. I was also copied on
multiple pieces of correspondence exchanged between BC Hydro, PartnershipsBC and the
various Proponents participating in this process and monitored the RFC and RFI processes.
Finally, I attended numerous telephone conferences with both legal counsel and other
representatives of BC Hydro and PartnershipsBC and reviewed the final evaluation report
prepared by the evaluation committee.
Throughout the entirety of the RFP process I found those responsible for its administration,
including the evaluation committee and the due diligence and legal advisors, to be keenly aware
of the terms and conditions of the RFP and the need to abide by those terms and to act fairly
throughout the process. I did not observe any instances of bias or lack of transparency and found
that all proposals and proponents were treated equally and fairly.
GENERAL/50238.359/2963207.1
This procurement process for RFP 1824 required a detailed, in-depth consideration of multiple
aspects of the Project in order to identify a preferred proponent for carrying out the work
contemplated by the Project Agreement. Those responsible for concluding this process are to be
commended for their exemplary effort in successfully meeting that challenge.
Respectfully submitted,
GENERAL/50238.359/2963207.1

Request Number: 201.20.2015-023 (Daily calendar and agenda for John Hart
Generating Station Project Director Diane McSherry)
07 July 2014
I am writing in response to the above-noted request for records under the Act.
BC Hydro has collected and reviewed the records responsive to your request,
portions of which have been redacted in accord with Section 22, and to a much lesser
extent, s. 17, and 21 of the Act.
Under section 22 of the Act, BC Hydro must not disclose personal information of an
individual to a third party if the disclosure of that information would be an
unreasonable invasion of the individual's personal privacy. In view of section 22, we
have withheld information about personal activities and appointments noted in the
subject calendar.
Section 17 of the Act permits a public body to withhold information the disclosure of
which could reasonably be expected to harm the financial or economic interests of a
public body. The type of information contemplated by section 17 includes financial
and commercial information that belongs to a public body and has, or is likely to have
monetary value; information about negotiations carried on by a public body (17(1)(e);
and information which, if disclosed, could reasonably be expected to harm the
negotiating position of a public body 17(1 )(f). BC Hydro has withheld some of the
latter type of information in accordance with the provisions of Section 17.
British Columbia Hydro and Power Authority, 333 Dunsmuir Street, Vancouver, BC, V6B 5R3
www.bchydro.com
Section 21 prohibits a public body from disclosing information that would reveal
commercial or financial information of or about a third party that is supplied, implicitly
or explicitly, in confidence and could, if disclosed, reasonably be expected to harm
significantly the competitive position, or interfere significantly with the negotiating
position, of the third party, or result in undue financial loss or gain to any person or
organization. Some of the information in the attached records is of the sort
contemplated by section 21 and has, therefore, been withheld.
If you have any questions regarding our response to your request for records, please
call me at (604) 623-3880. You may also ask the Office of Information and Privacy
Commissioner for BC ('the OIPC) to review our response to your request. You have
30 days from the receipt of this letter to request a review by writing to:
If you request a review, please provide the OIPC with a copy of this letter and a copy
of your request.
Yours truly,
Scott Macdonald

Section 20(1 )(b) of the Act allows a public body to decline to disclose information
that is to be published or released to the public within 60 days after the request for
the information has been received. We advise that BC Hydro intends to publically
post the Site C main civil works contract with Peach River Hydro Partners within 60
days of receipt of your request, and on that basis it declines to disclose the
requested Records at this time. We will advise you of the contract's availability
once it has been posted.
If you have any questions regarding BC Hydro's handling of your request, please

Dear Mr Mackin:
BC Hydro usually responds to requests for records under the Act within 30
business days. In this case, however, BC Hydro needs additional time in accord
with the provisions of section 10(1 )(c) when more time is required to consult with
other parties before a decision can made in respect of access to records.
Consequently, BC Hydro is extending the time period for responding to your
request by 30 business days.
The new due date for our response to your request is 23 February 2016. We will
contact you again before that date.
If you have any questions regarding BC Hydro's handling of your request, please
contact me. You may also ask the Office of the Information and Privacy
Commissioner for BC ('the OIPC) to review our time extension by writing to the
following address within 30 days of receiving this letter:
British Columbia Hydro and Power Authority, 333 Dunsmuir Street, Vancouver, BC, V6B 5R3
www.bchydro.com
If you ask for a review, please provide the OIPC with a copy of this letter and a
copy of your request.

SAEC MEETING REPORT - June 4-5, 2014
Every Director and Employee shall disclose all circumstances that constitute and actual
or apparent conflict of interest.
Some conflicts are quite clear, but others are less obvious. BC Hydro recognizes that its
Directors or Employees have perfectly legitimate outside interests; however, there may
also be situations which could be perceived as conflict of interest no matter how
innocent the intentions of the Employee or Director
Non-BC Hydro SAEC members should fill in a conflict of interest form at the time of
appointment. If a potential conflict of interest situation arises after that time, it would be
incumbent upon the committee member to report the potential conflict to the facilitator, and
modify their form accordingly.
Once an actual or perceived conflict of interest is identified, the SAEC members should verbally
declare their direct (or indirect) interest or potential interest, and excuse themselves while the
discussion takes place. Further, SAEC members should abstain from voting on
recommendations or other actions that impact the outcome of the activity.

Date of Appointment:
1) Employment/business interests held by the SAEC member's spouse at the time of disclosure:

affiliated:
34
SAEC MEETING REPORT-June 4-5, 2014
Background:
The Conflict of Interest provisions in the Terms of Reference (TOR) state that individual
members must report actual or potential conflict of interest to the Committee. However, the
TOR does not set out a process to report and discuss potential and actual conflict of interest
situations, so the members of the committee discussed potential solutions.
Committee members indicated that as the committee will not be setting policy or getting
involved in day to day decisions, presumably the chance of conflicts is fairly remote. Perceived
conflicts will likely be an issue, and committee members will need to manage expectations that
they are acting as individuals only (and not as representatives of Nations, organizations or
companies).
Potential process:
At the first meeting of the SAEC, it was noted that on other boards, people disclose and excuse
themselves where necessary, and in some cases Board members can get advice to determine
whether you have an actual or perceived conflict.
There was also a suggestion that the facilitator should be empowered to review and address
potential conflicts. Therefore the facilitator could be the holder of the information, ensuring
that the confidential information would be held in a secure place at all times.
At all times, the approach should be flexible, and recognize that, for example, a high level policy
approach to procurement is one thing, and a specific procurement opportunity is another. The
approach must also respect the provisions of the FIPPA, and safeguard the private information
of individuals.
SAEC members who are also BC Hydro employees are required to comply with the BC Hydro
Code of Conduct for Directors and Employees. It should be noted that the potential for SAEC
member conflicts is likely different than that of BC Hydro directors or employees, given that the
SAEC role is to provide advice and make recommendations. However, non-BC Hydro members
of the SAEC could be guided by standards similar to the following elements of the Code of
Conduct:

SAEC MEETING REPORT-June 4-5,2014
PRACTICAL EXAMPLE
Case study: BC Hydro is planning to undertake an RFP for vegetation
maintenance services. BC Hydro is beginning engagement with targeted
First Nations on this topic.
The contracting of Vegetation Maintenance Program work will change with
the implementation of unit pricing, larger but fewer contracts overall and
longer term contracts. BC Hydro is seeking input from First Nations to
inform the design of the RFP as BC Hydro changes its procurement
approach.
Work on existing energy transmission and distribution lines requires
certified utility arborist; specific qualifications.
Challenge: Vegetation maintenance is an area of strong business interest
for many First Nations and an area where a number of Aboriginal people
have gone into business. At the same time, BC Hydro is also focusing on
maintaining competitive electricity rates, and is seeking more efficient, cost
effective ways of procuring materials and services from suppliers.

Committee Engagement Advisor should be extended given the important role that they play
with the committee.
A question was raised regarding the lifespan of the committee, and in response, it was noted
that if this committee is successful and we collectively see value out of it, it will continue.
Committee members also asked if the new CEO is supportive of the Committee, but she has not
yet joined the company, so that discussion will need to take place.
The BC Hydro Project Team, facilitator and Committee Engagement Advisor will develop
options for discussion with the Selection Committee
3. CONCLUSION
Participants agreed that the experiential portion of the meeting was very meaningful, and
allowed a great deal of learning and sharing. BC Hydro wishes to thank the Sts'ailes Nation and
SAEC member Willie Charlie for the warm welcome to the territory and for the educational and
inspirational tour of Sts'ailes cultural sites. BC Hydro also wishes to thank the Aboriginal SAEC
members for sharing important elements of their cultures, helping to build awareness and
understanding.
Next steps were also formulated regarding Aboriginal procurement and Aboriginal awareness
training. Further discussion will be needed regarding the creation of working groups/sub
committees, and an approach to developing an annual meeting calendar will be developed and
provided to the SAEC members for review and comment.

from voting on recommendations or other actions that impact the outcome of the
activity.
The disclosure form will be finalized and sent out to non-BC Hydro SAEC members with a
reasonable deadline for response. The questions to be answered will include:
employment/business interests held by the SAEC member and their spouse; material
business interests and investments of the SAEC member and family members; and
business Interests of the First Nation or Aboriginal community to which the SAEC
member is affiliated.
23.2. Communications
Spokesperson
The committee selected Kim Baird as the Aboriginal spokesperson, who will work with Donia
Snow as the spokesperson for the BC Hydro representatives on the Committee.
SAEC Name
The committee confirmed the name of the SAEC would remain in place as it is now known as
such through the call for applications, the press release and other communications materials.
Some SAEC members indicated that the terms should be at BC Hydro's discretion, as it is a risk
to set something like this up. Many indicated that they felt the term should be longer, given
the investment that BC Hydro has made into the education of the participants, and given that
the work is just getting underway. They also confirmed that appointments should be staggered
for continuity. Some participants also noted their belief that the term for the Facilitator and
17
SAEC MEETING REPORT-June 4-5,2014
It was noted that the more Aboriginal people working in the corporate culture the better -
awareness becomes automatic. More Aboriginal people in decision-making spaces will improve
the culture as well.
As a result of the discussion, the BC Hydro team will undertake the following next steps:
A draft disclosure process was developed based on the comments received at the April 2014
meeting and reviewed with BC Hydro legal counsel. The draft was presented to the SAEC, and
approved.
The SAEC members have agreed that the Independent Facilitator will review and
address potential conflicts and act as the holder of the information, ensuring that the
confidential information would be held in a secure place at all times.
SAEC members who are also BC Hydro employees are required to comply with the BC
Hydro Code of Conduct for Directors and Employees. Non-BC Hydro members of the
SAEC should fill in a conflict of interest form at the time of appointment (or as soon as
possible thereafter). If a potential conflict of interest situation arises after that time, it
would be incumbent upon the committee member to report the potential conflict to the
facilitator, and modify their form accordingly.
Once an actual or perceived conflict of interest is identified, the SAEC members should
verbally declare their direct (or indirect) interest or potential interest, and excuse
themselves while the discussion takes place. Further, SAEC members should abstain
16
SAEC MEETING REPORT-June 4-5, 2014
Some committee members expressed concern that there may be some criticism if the training
is provided by non-Aboriginal people, but some SAEC members thought that if you build a
strong curriculum, and the SAEC approves it, it will have more credibility. There was also some
interest in seeing the curriculum for the existing Cross Cultural Awareness courses, and also a
request to attend one of the sessions an observer.
BC Hydro noted that there is currently a video of four community's stories available on line and
that new ones are being developed. SAEC members liked the idea of a video series with
different Nations that could be made available online (noting that the videos should explain
First Nation concerns, the people's story of the land, and rights and title issues). Perhaps there
would be interest from First Nations to produce the video, which could also help to build
capacity.
There is also an opportunity to use photographs of cultural sites and territories, although it
would be very important to work closely with each Nation to get a good understanding of the
photos, and to enter into agreements with the Nations to govern how the information will be
used. The photos taken in the Sts'ailes territory could be a starting point.
Participants thought that the terms "Aboriginal Awareness Training" should be used instead of
"Cross Cultural training" as this demonstrates more clearly the focus and commitment of the
organization.
This would be a big commitment, and there was clear consensus that the BC Hydro leadership
needs to take the lead on training and explaining why it is important (in the same way that
safety training is important and mandatory). Senior management will also need to act as
internal champions and ensure that middle management understands the importance of this
training. SAEC members noted that a senior First Nations champion in the organization would
be good, and that Human Resources and union representatives need to be fully involved. BC
Hydro representatives confirmed that the commitment is at the highest level of the
organization.
It was felt that BC Hydro needs to invest in training at every level, as part of the corporate
philosophy. There should also be different/higher levels of awareness required for individuals
as they advance in the company - knowledge should increase as you climb the ladder.
Flexibility will be needed in order to provide training that is easy to deliver to thousands of
employees, while ensuring a graduated approach for senior managers and other staff working
directly with Aboriginal people.
15
SAEC MEETING REPORT-June 4-5, 2014
The opportunity to spend the day in Sts'ailes territory provided a prime opportunity for
learning and sharing, and participants indicated that it was very powerful to see the
impact of Hydro transmission lines in the territory.
Cross cultural training has been underway in BC Hydro since 1994, and includes three
components: literature, experiential and classroom. It was originally developed by Pat Kelly,
and currently delivered by Bob Joseph.
On the experiential side, BC Hydro is looking at the possibility of a video as not everyone will
have the opportunity and privilege to go into a First Nations community. The work with the
Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) helped demonstrate how important the experiential
piece is -roundtables with executives and management, volunteers at the event in Victoria and
Vancouver. Many of the staff felt it was foundational and incredibly meaningful. A Hydro crew
participating in a pole-raising is another example of experiential learning that has occurred
among attendance of employees at many different community events.
Training includes pre-contact, key legislation and legal cases, treaties, self-government,
Aboriginal governance models, myths and misperceptions and strategies for inclusivity. Bob
Joseph provides a day-long training session and a book for reference. The session provides a
safe environment and opportunity for learning - it opens the door.
A question for the SAEC is where should the starting point be? The priority audiences include:
employees in the field (especially environment and vegetation management), Human
Resources and the Aboriginal Relations Team. Other challenges are getting past the question
"why?"- for example, why is Aboriginal Awareness Training important, why is building strong
relationships with First Nations important. This knowledge needs to be embedded in the company.
It was noted that a big issue is employee turnover - people leaving the company or changing
jobs.
Discussion
Committee members noted that if this is important to BC Hydro it should be included in the
orientation/onboarding process for every employee, although the numerous roles employees
undertake in the company will make it somewhat complicated.
Regarding the curriculum, SAEC members noted that this is a critical element, and therefore the
development of such curriculum is important. If you have strong curriculum, similar to
curriculum developed for public schools regarding treaties, then one committee member noted
anyone should be able to deliver it - aboriginal or non-aboriginal. Optimally, the BC Hydro
Human Resources people should deliver it, along with Aboriginal facilitators if possible.
14
SAEC MEETING REPORT -June 4-5, 2014
5th took place following a tour of Sts'ailes cultural sites and cultural sharing between the
participants.
Following is a short description of some of the sites visited, and the moral teaching associated
with the site:
Salamander - This site contains a black and white pictograph of a salamander. This site has a
moral teaching that life is too short to carry grudges - we have to learn to get along.
Mask Site - The Mask site is a physical marker of a ceremonial mask that was sent to the people
from the underwater people. The underwater people were sick, but didn't know what was
wrong. A man used a cedar bough to wipe off the human spittle that was on them, and they
got better. The mask came with a song, which went to the sister of the man. In present day,
the women sing the song and men dance the mask.
Bear/Owl Site - This site at Echo Island has two figures which are stone people. All of the stone
people came from the transformer era, when the world wasn't quite right and people were not
living by the laws. The Creator sent a messenger who transformed people not following the
laws to stone, as reminders to us all. Back further in time, people had the ability to
transform/shape shift - so if someone was Bear Clan, they could transform themselves to a
bear and back - the same for the Owl Clan. Therefore, when the two winter dancers were
transformed to stone, they reverted to their clan.
Learnings from the Day - some of the learnings include the following:
Many of the sites and stories are connected - since every story connects to another
story, they bring you through different eras.
Unless these significant sites are pointed out and described properly, sites may get
damaged because of ignorance. Understanding brings awareness, which brings
protection.
One of the reasons to create the SAEC is to create awareness and understanding about
traditions and culture, so that when decisions are being made, they can be made with a
full understanding of the impacts on the people of that land. Too often, individuals and
governments make decisions about the land without understanding the implications.
13
SAEC MEETING REPORT-June 4-5, 2014
economic development and building relationships based on trust. BC Hydro needs to keep the
lights on, and it needs relationships to do that.
The principles should also reflect that renewal of the system is changing the system, and
therefore the BC Hydro interests go beyond a handful of major projects.
It is important to note that the SAEC will review the underlying principles, but will not be
approving them.
There was a suggestion that BC Hydro can help the committee members understand what is
feasible from a resource/funding perspective, and also committee members can think about
what is feasible for them - ie. do we have the time to come together as a large group on an
ongoing basis? Can BC Hydro support regular large group meetings on a regular basis?
The BC Hydro Project Team is reviewing the budget and will provide the SAEC members with a
suggested calendar of meetings based on the resources available.
Participants were provided with the Aboriginal Awareness Training PowerPoint presentation on
June 4th, in order to review and prepare for the discussion on June 5th. The discussion on June
12
SAEC MEETING REPORT-June 4-5, 2014
address some concerns (instead of providing short term jobs). In this case the proponent built
wheelchair access to a dam (which the community paid for using the company's equipment),
and a sidewalk (which the company built for them). This creative approach was low cost, but
provided very positive outcomes.
Regarding slide 12 -"Definition of Aboriginal Businesses," participants noted that the first four
bullets are good, but there is some concern with bullet five - the requirement that one third of
the employees be Aboriginal peoples. This may be too high a threshold - for example, if a job is
going to employ 200 people but a community only has 50 people, that threshold is too high.
A scale could be helpful here as well, to reflect the reality across the province. Flexibility is key
in order to eliminate barriers.
An overview of the issues identified will be shared with the committee members, who can then
communicate with each other before the next meeting to agree on the key areas where this
committee wants to give advice to BC Hydro. The paper will be sent to the whole group to
review at this point, and members will provide feedback via email. Committee members
expressed an interest in both helping to build the evaluation criteria, and later to formulate
recommendations.
Eventually the group can consider the creation of working groups and identify where everyone
fits in to utilize the skills in the group.
2.1.8. Principles
There is a need to ensure that guiding principles are well reflected in the strategy.
Therefore, the discussion/issues paper should also include draft fundamental principles - such
as increasing capacity, demonstrating respect, creating partnerships, longer sustainable
relationships - and tying them to the six BC Hydro strategic objectives such as fostering
11
SAEC MEETING REPORT - June 4-5, 2014
Some committee members indicated that they look to their own people first, but will hire from
other areas and extend benefits beyond their territories. However, some participants indicated
that they find it very disheartening to see First Nations who want to exclude other First Nations
or Aboriginal groups, especially if the First Nation cannot fulfil the work that needs to be done.
In one case, a Band Council determined that the band doesn't need to own all the businesses in
order to be successful, as successful entrepreneurs are also important. Nations do not want to
compete with their people, but would encourage similar businesses to compete with each
other.
BC Hydro knows that spend is not the only important question, but what should it be?
Is there an opportunity to create a hierarchy of success - Nation level, community \evel,
individual level?
The types of training and employment opportunities are also important - Aboriginal people are
not only labourers - they are business and professional people as well. Building experience and
capacity are also important measures of success. This is where the progression from direct
awards to competitive awards can be helpful measures of success - helping people gain
experience and the capacity to progress.
BC Hydro would measure success in these terms but also in terms of coming in on budget and
on time, meeting the original objectives, joint satisfaction with the result, repeatability. Spend
is an easy indicator of activity but it does not speak to quality or sustainability. BC Hydro would
also need a good way to track these indicators of success, as it does not currently track how
many times an Aboriginal business is brought back, or for tracking rehires, or completing an
evaluation once a project is completed (for example).
One thought was that each Nation/Aboriginal group needs to come up with templates to report
back to their people, BC Hydro and the general public. This is a very important part of
governance - identify key metrics and share them with other First Nations (which will also help
them). A reporting template could be a solution to help both BC Hydro and Aboriginal
communities to track economic and other benefits. Develop the template collaboratively with
Aboriginal peoples to ensure that it is meaningful and easy to respond to and track. Another
suggestion was to tie such a reporting template to a hold back on the final payment, which BC
Hydro already does on the Generation side.
Success can also be measured in terms of addressing financial constraints - finding a way to get
value and ensure the maintenance of the Transmission and Distribution system. Success for BC
Hydro is continuing to serve customers with reliable electricity, and having Aboriginal
communities supporting the company to provide reliable electricity. Procurement success
means both certainty and economic development in Aboriginal communities.
There may be other ways to define success as well, including creative solutions: for example,
one community came together to figure out ways that a proponent could support them to
10
SAEC MEETING REPORT - June 4-5, 2014
SAEC members agreed that measures of success are very important. The key will be flexibility,
recognizing the amount of diversity across Aboriginal communities and even within
communities. Success will look different depending on the Nation itself, and therefore a sliding
scale of success would be important to consider.
Aboriginal communities want long term relationships, rather than on a project by project basis.
Therefore, it will be important to define what BC Hydro means by "long term" relationships.
Because of the government lens Aboriginal communities put on Hydro, it needs to be clear that
BC Hydro sees the relationships for "as long as the lights are on." The length of relationships
with Aboriginal people is no different than with other governments - it is in perpetuity.
There may also need to be a sliding scale regarding target of the policy and who benefits. This
is a foundational issue. Communities are very important because of rights and title, but there
are also other entities such as economic development corporations and individual
entrepreneurs. 66% of all Aboriginal people live off reserve, and BC Hydro may wish to
consider benefits to Metis and Inuit. There is also a question about Aboriginal companies that
don't hire community members - is it okay if the benefit only extends to a few people?
The vast majority of IBAs are project-related, but not all First Nations will have a project in their
territories. Should BC Hydro be setting its sights more broadly, and if so, how far should it go?
For example, at one end of the spectrum, should BC Hydro be concerned with providing
opportunities for every First Nation in BC?
If the opportunity is a form of accommodation, then local companies will get a lot of the work.
The question is whether BC Hydro should be entering into contracts with other Aboriginal
companies throughout BC and in other provinces such as Alberta? Should First Nation
companies benefit, even though they are not impacted by the agreement? In the experience of
Site C, the thought seems to be that a certain portion of the benefits should flow back to the
people, and BC Hydro is facing some resistance from some First Nations about even considering
Aboriginal owned businesses which are not from the territory or not owned by the Nations.
A complicating factor is set out in the final bullet on slide 8: "Contractors may have their own
Aboriginal JV or hiring program which may be in conflict with Aboriginal businesses in the work
area" needs to be thought through. It is encouraging to see contractors make partnerships and
create a labour pool with Aboriginal youth.
SAEC MEETING REPORT-June 4-5, 2014
One suggestion was to support a gathering to share best practices/success stories, as well as
what hasn't worked.
BC Hydro can also help Aboriginal communities find business partners and/or support the
transfer of knowledge and expertise. BC Hydro could use lessons learned from other initiatives
and projects. This is a real opportunity to engage Aboriginal communities. BC Hydro can also
encourage Aboriginal-to-Aboriginal partnerships, particularly in shared territories (for example
looking at the approach of the federal government, which requires all Nations in a shared
territory to come to the table and agree to a crown land sale).
With respect to shared/overlapping territories, some participants thought that BC Hydro can
help pave the way for First Nations to have this discussion, but not get involved in the
discussion. There is a trend of industry groups not doing Aboriginal procurement because they
don't want to get in the middle of a territorial fight, and the fear is that this provides an excuse
to not engage with Aboriginal businesses. One potential solution for procurement
opportunities is a referral process. The first step could be a timeline for Nations with shared
traditional territory to come together and reach an agreement, and if they cannot, the next
step could go be that the opportunity goes out to a broader audience.
2.1.4. Opportunities
SAEC members noted that one of the roles of the participants is to help people understand
what BC Hydro does and does not do. Therefore, a strong understanding of the opportunities
will be critical - for example, where the opportunities are in the projects versus in the
maintenance - breaking it up so people understand.
Projects can be the springboard to develop capacity and relationships, but the challenge will be
to find opportunities beyond projects, and ensure that businesses are not just focused on BC
Hydro work-that the effort builds sustainable businesses.
The procurement policy needs to reflect opportunities beyond projects - for example, the
opportunity to replace 20,000 distribution poles per year represents a long term opportunity.
Need to ensure that people are aware of the potentially significant, long-term, broader
initiatives - programs not projects. Explaining opportunities also focuses on what BC Hydro
does not do.
Short-term versus long-term opportunities are also important to explain. There may be
opportunities for short-term contracts with a large dollar value, but many contractors are not
moving these opportunities forward - in their opinion, there is too much effort in creating
Aboriginal partnerships compared to a short-term win. There is a need to find a more
sustainable model to put those relationships in place.
\
instead of reacting project by project, Nations could start investing in equipment, etc.
Co-management/actual partnerships could be put in place instead of IBAs.
With respect to IBAs, it was noted that the individuals doing the negotiations are not the same
individuals as those who are focused on the follow up, so a challenge is always how to keep the
original intent intact.
There was also a diversity of opinion regarding work awarded to Aboriginal businesses outside
of the traditional territory. One committee member noted that it is sad to see First Nations
who want to exclude other Aboriginal groups, especially if businesses in the territory cannot
fulfil the work that needs to be done. This question relates to the issue of principles, and
whether or not BC Hydro's approach is community based, or based on Aboriginal benefits
generally (whether at the community, business or individual level). More about this issue is
contained in the Measuring Success section, below.
Another issue that is related to accommodation has been raised by contractors. When some of
them approach communities, they are sometimes told that the communities simply want a
financial percentage of the overall contract, and are not interested in work or capacity
development. As a result, some contractors are questioning if this is the outcome BC Hydro
wants when it puts Aboriginal procurement into an opportunity. SAEC members responded that
some Nations view their referrals as having multiple layers - and one layer is financial
compensation. This is how some Nations need to operate - for example, maybe the workforce
is already engaged on other projects.
Aboriginal communities are more likely to see BC Hydro differently than true private sector
companies such as a mining company, as it is believed that government has influence in BC
Hydro negotiations. It should be noted that when BC Hydro develops policy, it is done
independently from government and work proceeds independently as well.
the focus on spend appropriate, or are there other issues that should be considered when
measuring success? Should procurement be linked to Impact Benefit Agreements (IBAs) as a
form of accommodation? How should BC Hydro respond to First Nations who do not want
aboriginal business not associated with their community working in their territories? Why is
Hydro seeing direct awards not leading to aboriginal businesses bidding on contracts?
Many communities think about certain arrangements such as direct awards as part of
accommodation. In negotiations, communities want security and certainty in terms of
contracts, particularly where Nations can't be accommodated through other benefits.
On the accommodation side, some members suggested that what BC Hydro can't do,
the Province will need to step up.
Such arrangements can be a problem, however, particularly if the Nation in not working
on the ground in the area related to the work.
IBAs are accommodation, and direct spend is a cost of doing business, but this can be a
disservice to the Aboriginal business community. If Aboriginal businesses are going to
compete against others they will need to step up their game. It is easier for banks to
finance an IBA because it is a guaranteed cash flow.
Some expressed a concern that politics can get in the way of good business decisions. In
order to avoid this, you can provide a number at the highest level of negotiations, but
negotiate a separate contracting agreement for procurement, separate from the
political discussions.
Competitive bidding processes are good, and should include jointly developed regional
planning processes - a co-management approach -jointly developing a plan, set asides,
setting out the long-term vision. If Nations and BC Hydro plan together and budget,
SAEC MEETING REPORT -June 4-5, 2014
2.1. Procurement
Linda Beardsell (BC Hydro Director, Procurement) and Vanessa Mountain (BC Hydro Senior
Aboriginal Procurement Advisor), joined the group for the in-depth procurement discussion,
which included the following elements:
1. Discussion Goals
2. Background
BC Hydro approach to procurement
Aboriginal approach to procurement
3. What does success look like?
BC Hydro perspective
SAEC perspective
4. Additional items for SAEC consideration
With respect to the discussion goals, BC Hydro representatives noted that the company spends
billions and there are significant opportunities to involve First Nations and Aboriginal-owned
businesses. The SAEC presents an opportune time to have this Committee contribute to some
of the things that BC Hydro has been struggling with, and provide input into the BC Hydro
approach. Eight years after the creation/implementation of the Aboriginal Procurement Policy,
BC Hydro is reviewing and assessing the policy, and will make a course change if that is
necessary.
Industry wants to talk about it - things that have worked and things that haven't worked. The
proposal is to have the first discussion with the SAEC, and then the construction industry and
Aboriginal businesses at a later date. BC Hydro would like to get the help of the SAEC to frame
the scope of the review. The thought is that review will take place in early fall, and there is a
desire to come back to the committee once they have had an opportunity to speak to the other
groups.
The Aboriginal procurement policy was established a number of years ago as an enabling policy
to support contract managers with the flexibility to enhance aboriginal inclusion in Hydro's
procurement associated to its capital build, operations, services and supplies. The policy allows
for set asides and sole-sourcing among other opportunities. At the time, the two drivers were
1) building long term relationships and 2) capital plan. In 2009, the amount spent on Aboriginal
procurement was $3.9 million, compared to approximately $131.4 million in 2014. This is a
phenomenal increase over five years.
The policy objective is to advance economic opportunities for Aboriginal communities. The BC
Hydro team wants to make sure it is done in the right way, and have numerous questions: are
the tools being used effective? Are there other things that should be considered? Is the
definition of Aboriginal business that is being used appropriate? Are there other models? If a
procurement opportunity only benefits one person - does that really help the community? Is

Roundtable
Prior to moving into the agenda, participants agreed to have a roundtable discussion regarding
expectations for the meeting. The suggestion was to take a closer look at the procurement
presentation and have a more in depth discussion about that specific issue. The approach
could then be a model for discussions regarding future issues.

Steve - can you provide status on info for MNY tour and assistance from BC Hydro rep. I would think the
info Jessica is using would be ideal. Julianne is shooting for 2 pm MNY avail and working on a few EMBC
locations options to provide visuals - i.e. EOC in Pitt Meadows. But recognises this may not be ideal In
terms of media access and BC Hydro support so it may be better for BC Hydro to determine location - ie
where work crews are available. I've included Ryan Jabs-CD for MoTI on this email as well so he's.in
loop on progress.
Working on it
Determining the cause and origin of a fire is the responsibility of a fire inspector. Potential evidence
may not be removed from a fire scene, so if there is any suspicion that an electrical meter was the
causeor origin of a fire, the fire inspector would require that the meter stay in place.
If the meter is not suspected of being the cause or origin of a fire, then BC Hydro is permitted to
remove its meter from a fire scene. BC Hydro examines the meter for safety and accuracy, and if
the meter can be reused it is returned to inventory. If the meter it does not pass safety and
reliability testing, then it is recycled.
I trust this information has allayed your concerns. If you have further questions please contact BC
Hydro's Smart Metering Specialist Team directly at smartrrieters@bchvdro.com.
Sincerely,
Brad Bishop
Deployment Lead
BC Hydro Smart Metering Program
So for her to do this we need basic background/update on BCH status, KMs, Media advisory (EMBC will
produce that) and a person from BCH to assist with a walk about (maybe a transmission curciut)? I
would think the materials you're producing for Jessica's 10 am media avail will do the job.
Julianne McCaffrey, Communications manager for EMBC, is our contact. To keep things .tight I've cdti
heron this email. And I've included MO staff so they're aware of our actions and process.

On May 20, 2014, you submitted a written complaint to the Office of the Information and Privacy
Commissioner (OIPC) alleging Greater Vancouver Transit Authority (TransLink) failed to
conduct an adequate search for records contrary to s. 6 of the Freedom of Information and
Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA).
On April 15, 2014, you requested TransLink provide you with "The TransLink contract with
Burrard Communications and reports to TransLink by Burrard regarding Burrard activities on
behalf of TransLink. I am seeking records for the period of Jan.1, 2005 to Dec. 31, 2009."
On December 10, 2015, TransLink provided a description of its search. Records related to your
request would have been located in office of the Vice President of Strategic Planning and Public
Affairs. I understand that this is the only location where records related to your request would be
located.
All locations within this office where responsive records may be located were searched. I
understand staff searched both electronic and hardcopy files. TransLink advises that it was not
able to locate records responsive to your request.
TransLink explained its records retention policy to me. I understand any records responsive to
your request would have been destroyed during or before 2013. This predates the date of your
request.
FINDING
Without evidence to the contrary, it is my opinion that TransLink has conducted a reasonable
search for records related to your request. I find that TransLink has met its obligations under s.
6 FIPPA.
CONCLUSION
Under my delegated authority to investigate and resolve complaints, I have concluded this
investigation and have closed the file. If you have any questions, please call me at (250) 356-
0791 or contact me by email at tmots@oipc.bc.ca.

Shtokalko, Debra
We are proposing an email go to all MYHYDRO subscribers in the Lower Mainland and southern Vancouver Island (all
impacted by outages that we. have been reporting). Just customers who have an online accounts- so not all
customers. Let me know if Vancouver Island should be included.
o This includes 595,000 residential and business customer with MYHYDRO accounts.
This email is sent out through our email service provider Upaknee - the goal would be to send it out on Friday
morning at 8:00am. Upaknee sends all of our current enewsletters, bill ready messages and all other emails. They
get booked to send, hence we need to book in Friday or wait for next week - kind of like seats on a plane - we have
space held for us.
This is compliant with CASL (Canadian antispam legislation). We have cleared this with Legal. We couldn't do this all
the time but this is such a special circumstance.
I have left a phone message verbal update with Keith Anderson that we would like to do this and alerted Daren
Sanders if we do send it - as the call centre staff would need a heads up.
We could promote her message on Twitter and Facebook as well.
This is the CASL wording that would appear at the bottom of the email:
This email provides you with important information about our recent power outage, and is in no way a
communication that encourages commercial activity. BC Hydro respects your right not to receive spam,
and complies with the Canada Anti-Spam Law.
You've received this email at [email] because you've registered for online access to your account and
automatically receive account and bill notifications. If you don't find these messages helpful, you can
unsubscribe.

Thoughts? Comments?
On behalf of BC Hydro, I want to thank you for your patience and support as we worked to restore power to the Lower
Mainland and parts of Vancouver Island after last Saturday's wind storm.
The storm was one of the most damaging in BC Hydro history. Drought-weakened trees fell across hundreds and
hundreds of our power lines, causing widespread outages over just a few hours of high winds. 710,000 customers in the
Lower Mainland and parts of Vancouver Island lost power at some point on the weekend - this represents half of all BC
Hydro customers in these regions.
- More than 1,800 "trouble calls", or individual work orders (in a normal month we take 2,000 calls from the
entire province)
- 25 damaged transmission circuits
- MORE TO COME
- 400,000 customers out at the storm's peak . ;
We know that any loss of power is an inconvenience and an extended outage makes it even more difficult. I can report
to you that we had more than 500,000 customers restored within 48 hours and over 700,000 restored within 72 hours.
We accomplished this be dedicating the full resources of our company to this effort. At its peak we had a team of more
than 500 people working around the clock to restore power as safely and quickly as possible. This includes BC Hydro
staff and contractors based in the Lower Mainland, emergency centre staff, and crews from Prince George, Kamloops,
Smithers, Terrace, Courtenay, Fort St. John, Nanaimo, Port Alberni, Victoria, Williams Lake, 100 Mile House, Campbell

As proud as we are of the work of our crews, the failure of our web site - the go-to place for vital outage updates for
customers - was a huge frustration; Not only for those enduring extended outages, but for us, too. In a power outage,
it's often the most important thing for customers to simply know what's happening and what you can expect next. With

assure you we are investigating the root cause of our web site's failure and we will take steps to ensure that information
is available to you when you need it.

Subject: Message from Jessica to customers
Hi, we are planning to send a "thank you" letter by email to our customers in the Lower Mainland and southern Vancouver Island
who were affected by the storm this week.
The draft is below but this issubject to change as it goes through some final reviews here. Let me know if you have any concerns or
questions.
The email would go to all MYHYDRO subscribers in the Lower Mainland and southern Vancouver Island -just customers
who have an online accounts- so not all customers. This includes 595,000 residential and business customers with
MYHYDRO accounts.
This email would be sent out through an email service provider on Friday morning at 8:00am (this provider works for us
to send out enewsletters, bill ready messages and all other emails)
This is compliant with CASL (Canadian antispam legislation). We have cleared this with Legal. We couldn't do this all the
time but this is such a special circumstance.
On behalf of BC Hydro, I want to thank you for your patience and support as we worked to restore power to the Lower
Mainland and parts of Vancouver Island after last Saturday's wind storm.
It ended up as the largest outage in BC Hydro history. Drought-weakened trees fell across hundreds and hundreds of our
power lines, causing widespread outages over just a few hours of high winds. 710,000 customers in the Lower Mainland
and parts of Vancouver Island lost power at some point on the weekend -this represents half of all BC Hydro customers
in these regions.
Here are some of the numbers that help to demonstrate the magnitude of the storm:
- Crews were dispatched to 1,800 "trouble calls" or individual work orders (in a normal month there are 2,000 for
the entire province)
25 damaged transmission circuits
- . MORE TO COME
- 400,000 customers out at the storm's peak
We know that any loss of power is an inconvenience and an extended outage makes it even more difficult. I can report
to you that we had more than 500,000 customers restored within 48 hours and over 700,000 restored within 72 hours.
We accomplished this by dedicating the full resources of our company to this effort. At its peak we had a team of more
than 500 people working around the clock to restore power as safely and quickly as possible. This includes BC Hydro
staff and contractors based on the Lower Mainland in the emergency centre and in the field. It also includes crews from
Prince George, Kamloops, Smithers, Terrace, Courtenay, Fort St John, Nanaimo, Port Alberni, Victoria, Williams Lake,*
100 Mile House, Campbell River, Duncan, Qualicum, Salmon Arm and Vernon.
As proud as we are of the work of our crews, the failure of our web site - the go-to place for vital outage updates for
customers -was a huge frustration. Not only for those enduring extended outages, but for us, too. In a power outage,
it's often the most important thing for customers to simply know whaf s happening and what you can expect next. With

Simi, we might get requests for follow-up "wrap-up" type interviews for Jessica. Any thoughts on whether we should do these and if
so with whom?
Lawrence, can you send this as a heads-up to the CR team later today?

Subject: FINAL - message from Jessica to customers
Hi, can we do a final proof, check links and all that before this goes???
On Saturday, August 29, the Lower Mainland and parts of Vancouver Island were hit with a significant windstorm. It was
quick and intense, and surprised national weather agencies.
710,000 customers in the Lower Mainland and parts of Vancouver Island lost power at some point on the weekend due
to this storm - this represents half of all BC Hydro customers in these regions. It was the largest outage in BC Hydro
history. Drought-weakened trees fell across hundreds of our power lines, causing widespread outages. To give you a
sense of the damage sustained by the storm over the course of three days, crews replaced approximately 200 power
poles and 500 broken cross-arms on pole-tops, there were over 25 damaged transmission circuits and we replaced
10,000 metres of wire and replaced more than 1,200 pieces of electrical equipment.
We dedicated the full resources of our company to this effort. This includes BC Hydro staff and contractors based in the
Lower Mainland in the emergency centre and in the field. Additional crews were brought in to support restoration
efforts from Prince George, Kamloops, Smithers, Terrace, Courtenay, Fort St. John, Nanaimo, Port Alberni, Victoria, .
Williams Lake, 100 Mile House, Campbell River, Duncan, Qualicum, Salmon Arm, West Kelowna and Vernon. Crews
responded to 2,400 "trouble calls" or individual work orders (in a normal month there are 2,000 for the entire province).
Over a span of 72 hours, power was restored to over 700,000 customers. Never before have we restored power to so
many customers so quickly.
Through all of this, we recognize that any loss of power is difficult for our customers and an extended outage makes it
even more challenging. After every major storm, we step back and take a look at how we did with our storm response
and procedures, and assess anything we can do better.
As proud as we are of the work of our crews, the failure of our web site, the go-to place for vital outage updates for
customers, was a huge frustration. Not only for those enduring extended outages, but for us, too. In a power outage, it's
often the most important thing for customers to simply know what's happening and what you can expect next. With
bchydro.com unavailable for extended periods, we weren't able to provide you with the best, most timely information. I
assure you we are investigating the root cause of our web site's failure and we will take steps to ensure this doesn't
happen again, I also want to reassure you that having our web site down did not in any way affectour outage response
times, which is operated through a different system.
I encourage you to take the time to ensure that you are prepared in case of future outages and other emergencies
including earthquakes, you have well-stocked emergency kits and plans for your families and businesses. And if you
come across a fallen power line, it should be considered live. Stay 10 metres back - about the length of a bus - and call
us at 1888 POWERON (1888 769 3766) to report the exact location.
On behalf of all of us at BC Hydro, I want to thank you for your patience and support as we worked through these power
outages. We sincerely appreciate it.
