I would like to recognize that the area we call the Fraser Valley Regional District has been home to Indigenous peoples for generations. There are 31 communities with reserved lands in the FERD jurisdiction and as many as 69 groups with interests in the area. We honor our commitment to collaboration, inclusion and reconciliation in our work here today and call to order the July 9th Regional and Corporate Services Committee meeting. Just before we start, though, I just wanted to say a few thoughts. Send our well wishes. It seems so inadequate to say that to our colleague, Diane Johnson, and the people of her area who have been evacuated in the middle of the wildfire. And we're thinking of you. Hang in there. The firefighters are working incredibly hard. The RCMP are there trying to protect the properties from theft or anything like that. So our thoughts and prayers are with you as inadequate as that is right now. And we will hope we get this under control soon. All right. So if we could start with the first item, Ms. Barker. Okay. We're looking for approval of the agenda, addenda and any late items. We have a mover. Mover by Councillor, sorry. Director Kludz. Second Director McAhanick. All in favor. Motion's carried.

The area we call the Fraser Valley Regional Hospital District, where we are gathered today, is the homeland of 31 different First Nations communities. Actions and decisions made by governments in the past have left many Indigenous communities untrusting of the Canadian health care system. It is our collective responsibility to keep this at the forefront of our minds as we make decisions. Since the decisions we make have a direct impact on the physical and mental well-being of all community members, Indigenous and non-Indigenous. With that in mind, I would like to call to order the January 25, 2026 Fraser Valley Regional Hospital District Board Meeting. Ms. Barker. Thank you.

First item is your report from this morning's Regional and Corporate Services Committee meeting. Thank you. Just a couple of items that I'd like to report out on. Agenda item 6.1.1 was the traffic-related air pollution study with the University of the Fraser Valley. Questions from directors related to budget allocations, outcomes and scope. And staff responded that funds are budgeted for air quality projects. This is an exploratory study and the FERD would like to support UFB in their work to address air quality. And that the scope of the study includes localized pollution sources coming from the roadways and how it gets dissipated into the air shed. Tried to paraphrase what manager Lily said. Item 6.2.2. The Sumas Mountain Forest Service road gate. Directors asked how communicating this works through fire safety training to satisfy fears residents have regarding wildfires caused by people recreating in forested areas. Staff advised that they work closely with municipal protective services and the
