Agreement Principles. The central principle of this Agreement is to confirm and provide certainty regarding the policy commitments of the Parties which are mainly outside the direct scope of the Project, but which will have a significant impact on the achievement of the Project’s objectives as outlined in each of the Municipalities’ separate SPAs for the Project. As noted in the governing Municipality SPAs, the success of the Project is dependent on each Party clearly prioritizing, within their respective agencies, the reasonable allocation of resources and alignment of policy in the SLS Corridor, with key elements to successful transportation system performance including transit and active transportation-supportive land use along the entire corridor, market housing and Affordable Housing policies, a Complete Street approach and pedestrian-friendly, transit-oriented urban design. With the Province delivering the Project in a single phase to Xxxxxxx City Centre, the success of this Project further depends on each Municipality working together with TransLink and the Province, as appropriate, to deliver co-benefits not always identified in each separate SPA that are consistent with provincial policies that maximize the return on investment along the entire SLS Corridor. Co-benefits for this Project will include supporting provincial objectives for: • Increasing the supply of market housing and Affordable Housing; • Ensuring higher-density, mixed-use, retail, office and Transit-Oriented Development around SkyTrain Stations; • Increasing active transportation integration; and • Co-ordinated planning for the area around the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, an area which overlaps with the City of Surrey, City of Xxxxxxx, and Township of Xxxxxxx. One area for collaboration between the Municipalities, acknowledged in the City of Xxxxxxx and Township of Xxxxxxx SPAs, is the area around the 000 Xxxxxx XxxXxxxx Xxxxxxx, an area which overlaps with the City of Surrey, City of Xxxxxxx and Township of Xxxxxxx. Given this unique circumstance, the Parties recognize the importance of coordinated planning between the Municipalities, and with support from the Metro Vancouver Regional District, TransLink and the Province, to meet or exceed the principles and objectives as outlined in this Agreement and the Municipalities’ SPAs.

Agreement Principles. The Agreement was not modelled after any other. It had a simple beginning as a custom made document jointly created by both the Algonquins and the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources. Each year's accumulated experience was used to update the agreement for the following hunting season. It is perhaps the most detailed of the Canadian natural resource agreements since it had been around longer, and since it deals with one First Nation community only, has the opportunity to be very specific. Unlike the majority of the other agreements reviewed here, there is a specific geographic boundary limiting its application, defined by the traditional territory. The overall objective is to manage moose and deer in order to safeguard Algonquin rights to harvest unmolested. Right upfront, it recognizes Algonquin law, not by-laws, nor regulations, but the right of a government to make its own laws pertaining to acceptable methods of harvesting and use of the meat. The province does not interfere at all with this part, rather it understands the necessity of the community deciding for itself how it wants to conduct the harvest. Since the Algonquin territory is so vast, there are seasons for different locations. Some of the hunting seasons are a little longer than those set by the province for non- Native hunting. Since one of the threats to Native hunting is the reduction of land on which to xxxx, the province agrees that there will be no enlargement of existing nature reserves, wilderness zones, or the like during the term of this Agreement. Native harvests are set by community consultations. Killing a pregnant female animal is taboo, and besides, according to one elder, it tastes awful. So while a season does not end until mid-January for other deer and moose, the taking of female ones ends in early December to prevent the risk of killing a pregnant one. Each year a harvest study is conducted to find out how many animals are taken, and in what ratio for age and sex group. The ratio is balanced by using a tagging system, among other common management practises. Nor is anyone going to fault a hunter for taking other wildlife species for food that he may come across while hunting. There are no real restrictions except for wolves, loons, and rare, threatened and endangered species. In other circumstances, where an individual member of Golden Lake is in need of food, there is a need for meat for community or ceremonial purposes, special permits will be issued. Since there have...

Agreement Principles. X. Xxxx the Indiana Humanities Council and the Department of Education of the United States of Mexico agree to establish ties of friendship and cooperation for the purpose of promoting mutual understanding and academic, cultural, and personnel exchange. Both parties further agree to work toward building a network of cooperative relations on behalf of public humanities programming that creates new alliances, bridging the gap between scholars, artists, policy officials and the general public of Mexico and Indiana.
B. The Indiana Humanities Council and the Department of Education of the United States of America further agree to stimulate public interest and involvement in the study and explanation of the history, culture, contemporary conditions, and impact of the nation of Mexico. Both parties further agree to work toward alerting Indiana residents to the need, advantages, and challenges of exposure to the international arena through an in-depth series of programs that communicate a comprehensive, contemporary understanding of Mexico in the 20th century and invite public examination, participation, and discussion.
Agreement Principles. The Regional Public Works Mutual Agreement is designed with the following principles: • Voluntary support based on each jurisdiction’s situation • Call your neighbours first • Responders take direction from Requestors • Costs will be based on Responders “rates of the day” with a 10% overhead allowance added • All parties are expected to maintain sufficient insurance DRAFT • Provision included for Joinder Agreements Since the fall of 2021, staff have engaged with several advisory committees (each committee multiple times) including the Regional Emergency Planners Committee (REPC), the Regional Engineers Advisory Committee (REAC) and the Regional Administrators Advisory Committee (RAAC) to obtain their feedback and input on the proposed new Agreement. Most of the advisory committees’ comments focused on whether the agreement maintains ‘task eligibility’ with the Province, definitions within the agreement, whether or not to include overhead on costs and finally indemnification. All of the comments have been taken into account and reviewed by in-house and external legal advice. In the final briefing to RAAC, they voted unanimously to endorse the agreement. The local government Councils and Board of the Metro Vancouver Regional District (with respect to Electoral Area A) are “local authorities” within the meaning of the Emergency Program Act, [RSBC 1996] Chapter 111. Local Authorities are required under the Local Authority Emergency Management Regulation [B.C. Reg. 380/95] to identify the procedures by which emergency resources, including, without limitation, personnel, equipment and facilities may be obtained from sources within or outside of the jurisdictional area for which the Local Authority has responsibility. The Local Authority Emergency Management Regulation [BC Reg. 380/95], states a Local Authority may enter into mutual aid agreements for resources and subsequent cost recovery outside of the jurisdictional area for which the Local Authority has responsibility. The Local Government Act [RSBC 2015, Chapter 1], a board of a regional district has the statutory authority to enter into mutual aid agreements with a Local Authority. The Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District Act [SBC 1956, Chapter 59] and the Greater Vancouver Water District Act [SBC 1924, Chapter 22], the GVS&DD and the GVWD, respectively, have the statutory authority to enter into mutual aid agreements with Local Authorities. The University Endowment Land Act [RSBC 1996 Ch. 469],...
