CONTENTS & INDEX

Welcome to the Thompson-Nicola Regional District, just a 3-hour drive


QUICK FACTS,

from Vancouver, British Columbia

As Chair of the Thompson-Nicola Film Commission and Mayor of


Ashcroft, I’ve worked directly with many film and television productions,
and I have enjoyed every one. And I’m told the cast and crews have
enjoyed working with us too. Major feature productions, such as An
Unfinished Life, Firewall, Shooter and The Pledge, deposited excitement
and goodwill into our region, and exhibited the world of looks the
Thompson-Nicola region can be.
Our deserts, box canyons with clay hoodoos, rolling grasslands and
Andy Anderson western movie set Wildhorse Town were well suited for westerns such as
Chair, Thompson-Nicola
the Canadian-German co-production Miss Texas, By Dawn’s Early Light,
Film Commission;
The Grey Fox, Gunfighter’s Moon and The Gift of Giving. Our foothills
Mayor of Ashcroft
were Afghanistan for Afghan Knights and Traffic: The Mini-series, India &
Pakistan for Partition, Africa for Shooter and the Baja Peninsula for The
Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants. We even doubled northern Canada’s tundra for The Snow
Walker.
We’ve been blown-up and shot at as you’ll witness in Firewall, filmed around Kamloops, and The
Wicker Man and the pilot for Superman’s Smallville in Merritt, but we’re still standing and hoping
for more. We’ve had aliens visit from Battlestar Galactica, a lady truck driver depict her story in
Lady is a Teamster: The Diana Kilmury Story at our famous Highland Valley Copper Mine in Logan
Lake, and we mingled with the folks from Hard Core Logo. We were especially honoured to have
the Academy Award nominated director, Atom Egoyan, direct The Sweet Hereafter in Ashcroft,
Merritt and Spences Bridge, and create a powerful story amongst our pristine snowy terrain and
picturesque roads. However, it was our cold and dreary looks coupled with our snowy terrain that
enticed Sean Penn to film The Pledge in Lytton & Merritt areas.
The BC Film Commission boasts that British Columbia is “A World of Looks.” Well, the
Thompson-Nicola Region boasts a world looks, too, except ours are “All in an Hour Drive.”
We invite you to film in our region. We guarantee your project will get our undivided attention
and support because we appreciate your business.
Andy Anderson

CLIMATE STATISTICS CLIMATE


Logan Lake sits at an elevation that results in
July Mean 15.6°C relatively cool temperatures and a short growing
January Mean -7.9°C season. While surrounding mountains receive large
amounts of snowfall, Logan Lake is sheltered and
Rainfall (cm) 21 receives only a fraction of the snow that falls in the
Snowfall (cm) 183 area. The weather is ideally suited for cross-country
Hours of Sunshine 2048 skiing and snow-mobiling in the winter and fishing
year ’round makes this season a little gentler.

TEMPERATURE
(°F-32) x 5/9 = °C
1 degree Celsius (1°C) = 1/100 of the difference between the boiling and freezing
points of pure water at sea level. 0°C is freezing point; 100°C is boiling point.
HINT: To convert °F to °C (Multiply degrees x 2) + 30
Example: 20 Celsius x 2 + 30 = 70° Fahrenheit
In metric, volume and weight and size are inter-related: 1 litre water weighs
1 kilogram and would fill a 10 centimetre cube. Similarly, 1 ml water weighs 1 g
and equals 1 cm3 (cubic centimetre).

DRIVING SPEED
50 km/h is the speed limit on most urban streets. This equates to 30 mph.

80 or 90 km/h is the speed limit on most rural highways. These limits equate to
50 and 55 mph respectively.

100 or 110 km/h is the speed limit on most rural controlled access highways.
These limits equate to 65 and 70 mph respectively.

REGIONAL TAX CREDIT 6%


Labour Rebate for “Service” Productions
Feature Films & TV Series – Service Production Tax Credits
There is a Regional Tax Credit of 6% on labour for a TV series or mini-series, and feature
film productions that qualify as a “Service Production.”
Once the production company acquires an Accreditation Certificate from British Columbia
Film, then, when the production company files corporate taxes, the Canada Revenue
Agency will refund the credited amount.

Tax credits can be combined.


The Regional Tax Credit of 6% can be added onto the Production Services Tax Credit of
18% (based on British Columbian labour) and the Canadian Film or Video Production
Services Tax Credit of 16% (based on Canadian labour) for a total of 40% in tax credits.
Also, the Digital Animation or Visual Effects Tax Credit (D.A.V.E.) of 15% can be added
regardless if editing in the regions or in Vancouver, and regardless if production is filmed
in BC or Canada.
