David Black - the owner and chair of Black Press which owns newspapers throughout BC including the Prince Rupert Northern View announced Friday morning plans to construct a $13 billion oil refinery in the Kitimat area that could create thousands of jobs in the region if it moves forward. Black incorporated a company called Kitimat Clean Ltd., with plans to build a refinery 25 kilometres south of Terrace large enough to process all of the capacity from the Northern Gateway pipeline before it is shipped out. The plant would process up to 550,000 barrels per day of diluted bitumen to be shipped back to Edmonton, 240,000 barrels per day of diesel, 100,000 barrels per day of gasoline and 50,000 barrels per day of kerosene. The product would then be piped to a marine terminal site in Kitimat that is currently planned to be used for the Enbridge crude oil shipping terminal. According to Black, processing the oil before it is shipped out will remove the threat of offshore pollution from heavy crude due to the evaporative properties of kerosene, gasoline and diesel. “The refinery will eliminate any chance of a Martina Perry photo crude oil spill from shipping through Kitimat. With the community finally receiving some hot summer weather, many Gasoline, kerosene and diesel, which are the Prince Rupert youth took it upon themselves to earn some extra money products from the refinery all float and are all from people in need of a refreshment.

◆ JIM CICCONE CIVIC CENTRE
Hockey, skating put on hold as ice not expected to be in place until November By Shaun Thomas The Northern View Some winter sports may be on hold early this season as the City of Prince Rupert doesn’t expect to have ice in the arena until early November. “We had a mechanical failure with the chiller, which is what makes the ice. There is a brine that goes through some pipes, and those pipes are surrounded by ammonia, but
the pipes have rusted out and the ammonia is seeping into the brine,” explained acting city manager Bill Horne, noting that early November is the date they’re hoping for although it may be sooner. “It needs to be replaced. It was scheduled to be replaced in the next two years and Civic Centre staff had started getting information from suppliers on the cost and type of machine, but this chiller went before we
could get a new one.” One of the many organizations – including Prince Rupert Minor Hockey and the Prince Rupert Figure Skating Club - that would be impacted by the delay is the Prince Rupert Rampage hockey team of the Central Interior Hockey League. What the delay means for them is fans shouldn’t expect to see the team until November. “As of now the league schedule isn’t out, so I have

◆ OIL REFINERY
Plan depends on pipeline approval Continued from page 1 “The money for the environmental assessment has been put up. It will take about two years for the assessment, and while we’re doing that we’ll be talking to industry and customers in Asia and getting the rest of the financing in place,” said Black, noting that not all of the partners in the Northern Gateway project are in favour of a refinery as opposed to shipping the oil. “If there is no Enbridge pipeline there is no refinery. And if we don’t believe the pipeline can be built in a way that ensures any leaks will be immaterial then it shouldn’t be built.” However serious discussions with the Haisla and the Kitselas, on whose traditional territories the terminal and refinery would be located respectively, have not taken place. Art Sterritt of the Coastal First Nations, however, says more work needs to be done with other groups along the shipping line.

◆ OIL REFINERY REACTION
MP, MLA, mayors, chiefs respond to proposed refinery By Shaun Thomas The Northern View Skeena - Bulkley Valley MP Nathan Cullen says he would “be very, very surprised” to see plans by David Black to construct an oil refinery in the Kitimat-Terrace area come to fruition. “It’s another chapter in a story that is increasingly becoming more and more ridiculous. This wasn’t in Enbridge’s plans, it’s not in China’s plans, it’s not in the Prime Minister’s plans so I don’t know where it came from...He’s making an announcement with no money, no local support and no support from First Nations so it is very hard to take seriously,” he said. Black said he will use his own money to finance the proposal through the B.C. environmental assessment, which he expects to cost several million dollars. After that, he said investors would be needed to complete it, assuming both the refinery and the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline receive approval. “There is a reason nobody is backing this... For a newspaper baron to say how the oil industry should be running when nobody in the oil industry is doing this themselves is ridiculous,” added Cullen. Despite taking crude oil out of the marine environment on the north coast, North Coast MLA Gary Coons says he is also doubtful anything will come from the announcement. “I think it is a pie in the sky concept. There’s no partners, no money, no meaningful consultation with the Kitselas or the Haisla...You would think he would have learned from the Enbridge fiasco and had the Ts crossed and the Is dotted with at least the two key First Nations before announcing the project,” said Coons. “We haven’t seen a refinery built in Canada since the 1980s, so at this time I don’t think it is a feasible concept that Mr. Black is proposing.” Kitimat mayor Joanne Monaghan, who was the only elected official on the phone line during the announcement, said she was excited to hear about the plan. “This project will probably, if it goes ahead and we are hopeful it does, will probably change the face of the northwest forever,” she said. “I think this is a great day in history.”
Terrace mayor Dave Pernarowski said he too was glad to hear of the proposal, but was waiting to hear more about it before taking a position. “The City of Terrace is always open to new business and job creation opportunities. Mr. Black is a highly respected and successful businessman in B.C. and, as the owner of one of our key media outlets, the Terrace Standard, he is a valued member of our growing business community,” he said in an e-mail to Black Press. “At this time, we don’t know enough about the project to comment one way or another about it, but we look forward to working with Mr. Black in the future and engaging with our citizens regarding any major investments that could create jobs and help grow our amazing city.” Kitamaat chief councillor Ellis Ross says he hasn’t met with David Black, but that they have spoke over the phone. “My initial thought was that this still doesn’t answer the concerns about bitumen entering Haisla territory, though I see now it does as the refinery is on the outskirts,” he said. “There is nothing formal in place and there have been no negotiations. I was waiting to the formal referral to come to council, and that would come from the crown, not from David Black... There are still too many unanswered questions at this point.” Kitselas chief councillor Judy Gerow said the band would be taking a wait-and-see approach on a project that would be located on their territory. “We don’t want to make any kind of statement of endorsement. We are still conducting the independent study so I think it would be too soon,” she said, noting the Black did meet with her prior to the announcement. “We didn’t talk about partnership...We don’t want to go there now.”

◆ TOURISM INDUSTRY
Tourism season in Prince Rupert slower than past years By Alan S. Hale The Northern View The tourism season in Prince Rupert is about half way through and, so far, most businesses that rely on this time of year are either doing about the same as last year or worse. While none of the businesses the Prince Rupert Northern View talked to are being crippled financially, the fact remains that the first part of this tourist season has been slower than in previous years. There a number of factors business owners believe are the cause of this, some of the most concerning are the lack of a weekly
cruise ship for the first time and a sharp decline in traffic coming off of the ferries. As you might expect the fact that Prince Rupert has only had four cruise ships this summer has been a big hit to the shops in Cow Bay. The Icehouse Gallery says that they’ve seen a noticeable drop in business this summer because of the fewer cruise passengers, but at the same time they’ve seen more locals and tourists from out of town coming in. Other Cow Bay stores like Seahorse Trading Company and Homework have also been stung by the cruise situation, but say that their business is remaining steady. According to management,
Thebrn and Now ought to you by
CELEBRATING 40 YEARS AS A NATIONAL HARBOUR
Seahorse is helped by the fact that they have a popular café and also partly by the fact that they are one of the only toy stores in town. One interesting change has been that the cruise ship passengers who did come into the Cow Bay businesses are said to have been much friendlier than in past years. Whether or not this is because of the extra effort put into welcoming them at the waterfront is anyone’s guess. Prince Rupert’s hospitality industry is a little more divided. The larger hotels like the Crest and the Prince Rupert Hotel say that their business is about the same as last year. The Prince Rupert Hotel, for instance, has about half of its rooms occupied at any given time. One of the reasons for this is that the Prince Rupert Hotel does a lot of business with tour companies. Smaller places like hostels and bed and breakfasts’ are seeing more of a change in their business this year. The most noticeable difference
for them is the drop off in ferry traffic. According to BC Ferries, the number of passengers coming to Prince Rupert in June was down almost 13 per cent from last year and seven per cent in July. Many of the owners of these businesses pointed the finger at ticket prices for driving passengers away. The effect this has had differs from business to business. The Tides B&B says that in previous years they’ve had rooms booked months in advance, while this year more of their business has been people calling looking for a place to stay at the last minute. The hostels, meanwhile, have seen the number of backpackers coming through Prince Rupert evaporate. This has been particularly noticeable at the Pioneer Hostel, which markets itself specifically to backpackers. This hasn’t hurt the hostel as much as you might think, as they’ve seen their business made up for by slightly older, more family oriented tourists.

Tourist attractions are still doing fairly well. Prince Rupert Adventure Tours say that their business is doing well even without the cruise ship passengers because of the regular tourists coming. The North Pacific Cannery has seen a slightly slower year as well. The cannery found getting cruise passengers to go out there was a challenge. This year they’ve invested more marketing to roadtrip tourists and bus charters, which they believe has paid off. So while it has been a slower tourism season so far in many sectors of the tourism industry, the season is not been “terrible” as some online commentators have suggested. The head of Tourism Prince Rupert, Bruce Wishart, argued in one of his regular columns for this paper that Prince Rupert experiences what he calls “invisible tourism.” He says that many people don’t realize just how many tourists there are about because they blend into the community or are out on excursions.

last week when a motorist hit a small child on a bicycle. However due to low speeds involved during the accident no one was injured. On August 15 at noon, the Prince Rupert RCMP responded to a report of a vehicle hitting a cyclist near the intersection on McBride St. and 2nd Avenue. When RCMP members arrived at the scene they learned that the cyclist, who was under the age of 10, was hit when they were riding their bike on the sidewalk. “A vehicle was pulling out of a nearby parking lot just as the cyclist was riding across the exit. As a result, both the cyclist and the vehicle collided,” explained Constable Matt Erickson of the Prince Rupert RCMP. Luckily the speeds of both the cyclist and the vehicle were slow enough at the time of the collision, so there were no injuries or damage done to the vehicle. The Prince Rupert RCMP would like to remind bicyclists that when they are riding on the sidewalk they need to be aware of their surroundings, and that all motorists should be extra cautious in summers months, as there tends to be more people walking on streets, and riding bikes, rollerblades, skateboards, etc.
Protect yourself from getting tired, depressed, or lonely. You are your child’s lifeline.

MP holds fundraiser for Rupert SPCA
250 624-2859
By Alan S. Hale The Northern View MP’s across the country are making their rounds on the yearly summer barbecue circuit, which is a convenient way for them to meet with constituents before Parliament resumes sitting on September 17. Nathan Cullen is no exception to this, and was in Prince Rupert on Saturday to hold a barbecue fundraiser for the Prince Rupert SPCA in Mariner’s Park. “Every year since I was elected we’ve helped a community group raise some money, rather than do the usual politicalflipping-burgers-thing. And this year’s recipient gets to choose next year’s,” said Cullen. This year’s recipient was the Prince Rupert SPCA, an organization that has seen its financial support from places such as the City of Prince Rupert cut back sharply in recent years. So the SPCA needs all the funding it can get. All of the money from the barbecue will go towards their operating expenses. “They chose us as this year’s beneficiary. The barbecue is all by donation and it all goes to us. It’s pretty awesome,” said the manager of the Prince Rupert SPCA, Anna Terebka The SPCA is on the front lines of trying to deal with Prince Rupert and Port Edward’s out of control cat population. Terebka says that they are applying to the City for a grant to help set up a spay and neuter program. In an attempt to have more of the adult cats at the shelter adopted, the BC SPCA is holding a Cat Adoption Week from August 23 to the 25 where people can take home a cat over six months old for whatever price they’re willing to pay. “We’re really full right now, we’ve got a ton of cats. It’s kitten season right now and all the older cats get overlooked,” said Terebka. While the barbecue was focused on the SPCA and the animals (many people came out with their dogs to the event), there was a fair share of politicking going on. Cullen was posing for pictures and talking with constituents while volunteers and North Coast MLA Gary Coons, manned the grills. “[We’ve been talking about] everything under the sun: immigration, Enbridge, what’s been going on with the port, anything that happens in town. It’s what the barbecue accomplishes, it’s a much more relaxed atmosphere than having to book a meeting,” said Cullen. “Sometimes I meet with dozens and dozens of people in just a few hours. I don’t get to flip many burgers, but then again I’m not the best burger flipper.”

OPINION
MY VIEW…
A look at refinery announcement... David Black’s proposal to build an oil refinery in the Kitimat Valley is an interesting one, and one that has clearly gotten people across western Canada talking. It’s far from a perfect proposal - there’s no backers, no money for construction, no agreements in place for the use of the oil from the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline and no agreements or expressed interest from Asian companies to purchase the refined product. One could say it’s more of an idea at this point than a project, though it will be interesting to see how everything plays out in the years ahead. But there are a number of important things that Friday’s announcement did and did well. The first is addressing concerns from environmental groups, First Nations and residents in relation to raw oil being transported up and down the north coast. While there is still concern about the pipeline that would lead to the refinery, the marine shipping and possible spills of crude oil would be off the table should the refinery move ahead. Secondly, it provided a glimmer of value to BC that was otherwise missing from Enbridge’s pipeline proposal. A few jobs and some royalties from the land the pipeline is built on is nowhere near enough of an economic incentive for BC to want the pipeline; 6,000 temporary and 3,000 permanent jobs as part of a $13-billion development sweetens the pot quite a bit. The third, and perhaps more important thing, that Friday’s announcement did was to get people really thinking about the way Canada and BC handle our raw resources. What Black
was essentially saying is, “Why ship out raw resources to be processed overseas when we can process them here in BC and here in Canada and ship out a finished product?”. To me that’s the (pardon the pun) $13-billion question. The number of jobs and economic impact created in the province through shipping raw oil or raw logs - which is currently
done from the Prince Rupert harbour - pale in comparison to the jobs and money that would be seen by processing the resources here. As I’ve said, I don’t see this pipeline happening. But it’s good to see this announcement spurring on the discussion about raw resource exports in Canada.

Telling the Prince Rupert story through travel writers Whenever travel writers, tour operators, or other industry partners come to Prince Rupert, we start by giving them a driving tour. It’s not a scripted tour. We adapt our presentation based on the particular interests of the visitor. We drive Cow Bay and the waterfront, chatting about the fishing industry, the old network of coastal steamships, and the history of the Port. At Atlin Terminal we talk about the Halibut Capital of the World. Downtown we discuss the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway and the establishment of the City, and in Section Two we tell the story of the Soldiers’ Settlement Act and how the immigrants who built the boom city created a Canadian community after the First World War. Visitors see the wildlife in the urban landscape, the deer and the eagles. From the viewpoints by the hospital we have an overview of the harbour, and Metlakatla Pass National Historic Site.

This approach allows us to translate the whole Prince Rupert story in the shortest possible amount of time. Prince Rupert’s heritage resources provide the basis for our presentation of the community. We don’t try to tell the story chronologically. We just chat as we see the physical reminders of each aspect of our story. A community’s heritage resources are its character-defining elements. Their educational value to tourism is incidental – it is more important that our heritage defines us and helps in building community identity and pride. And as always, a good place to live makes a good place to visit.

We asked: Do you feel the City should look at cutting costs on City expenses, and if so where should they cut?
“Yes the city should look at cutting costs starting with the fire dept and RCMP. [That would be] a good start, over $2 million more than Terrace...Airport ferry next, push to have a road from Port Simpson to Metlakatla and our airport dock is right in the middle of the run. BC ferries or highways would have to take over this run, saving us about a million dollars!”

◆ OPINION
Screw capped wines are great for summer months It is somewhat interesting to think about our learning curve with wines and traditions today. The screw-cap wine has become so common place in the last few years that many of us who at times might have argued against the tradition of corks and ceremony of service are now intrigued and convenienced by the simple service style and almost perfect storage of a once taboo product. The screw cap phenomenon has really caught on and is on nearly 50 per cent of the wines we find on our store shelves today. Screw top closures are especially wonderful during the summer months now – when we are enjoying wines on

Letters Not cyclist friendly Editor: Nobody in Prince Rupert wants to hear that we are an unfriendly city, we have always been proud of being the friendly city from the beautiful North Coast but we fall short on friendliness when it comes to sharing our streets and roads with cyclists. I started to ride a bicycle after 40 years and was introduced to a very unfriendly experience with cars, trucks, transport trucks, delivery vans and taxi cabs. After the first few trips downtown, I came home and told my wife I almost got ran over several times. Vehicles came so close to me I could read part numbers and bumper stickers as they flew by inches from my arms. I made my views known to other cyclists, enthusiasts and exercisers and the comments were unanimous: They said we do not ride our bicycles in town as it is just too dangerous. I also spoke to cyclists who ride out on Highway 16 and that can also be a hair raising experience. As a community we need to change the way we think of cycling and cyclists. Cycling is good for everyone who does it, good for their health and well-being. Encouraging people to exercise and ride a bike is good. Parking the gas guzzler for a few hours is also good. Please, please share the streets and give the cyclist a small brake and less black smoke in the face. Thank you in advance Ken Cote

“[Port Edward already has] some funding from their own borrowing towards that project and needs additional funding to ensure they could complete it. This capital bylaw will have the Ministry of Education provide funding to the district, which we will then provide to Port Edward as part of the cost of completing that school,” explained School District 52 secretary-treasurer Cam McIntyre. The board then moved on to the lease portion of the meeting, starting off by entering into a 20year lease with the District of Port Edward that will begin on

But because the building addition that will house the new school in Port Edward will not be complete by September 1, the District of Port Edward has offered to let the school district use the previous building until the new location is ready to open. This means that the school district had to enter into a sublease that will begin on September 1, and will end whenever students move over

to the new building. “Our expectation is that it will be done prior to Christmas and that we would likely move in over the Christmas [break] and come January, students would be coming to the new school,” said McIntyre. If Port Edward’s student population were to increase, there is some room for growth at the new school. After all, there are three full classrooms being built at the new location, with only two of the rooms expected to be used this upcoming school year. “It could house well over 60 students, and we’ll probably be under 40,” commented McIntyre.

Since opening to the public on June 13, the Prince Rupert Port Authority’s Interpretive Centre in Prince Rupert has had visitors from all over the world, with the Port of Prince Rupert recognizing the 2,500th visitor late last week. “[The port] had few expectations about what type of response the Port Interpretive Centre would earn from the community. We are of course delighted at the fantastic response, both from the community and from visitors outside of Prince Rupert and Canada,� said Michael Gurney, Manager of Corporate Communications for the port authority. Six-year old Prince Rupert resident Cassidy Kawaguchi was recognized as the 2,500th visitor when her and her family were touring the centre last week, with summer student Caitlin Tates guiding them through the many visual displays and interactive exhibits. Cassidy had already been through the centre once before on a year-end class trip with her fellow grade one classmates from Roosevelt Park Community School. “When I went on the tour with my school, they thought it was pretty cool. I really like the big screen video, and seeing the trains dumping all the coal. And I got to learn about the places that lots of people we know work,� said Cassidy, who was given a gift
bag from the Port Authority for the milestone visit. Cassidy’s mother, Emily, was equally as thrilled by the recognition and with the centre. “My daughter came home very excited from her visit earlier this summer, and after seeing today what the Port Interpretive Centre has to offer I would recommend it to everyone in Prince Rupert who hasn’t been here yet. There’s a lot about the history of the port and how important it’s became to Canada that I didn’t know, and it’s a fascinating place for kids and adults,� she said. The centre will be staying open year round, with the port currently searching for a community outreach coordinator, who will oversee the operations of the centre. Since opening its door, the centre has employed two full-time and two parttime summer student workers, however come September the students will be returning to their schools. Admission to the centre is free, with up-todate hours of operation being posted online at www.rupertport.com/ centre.

◆ CURRENTLY COMING TO RUPERT
FLIGHT WINNER…
Kitimat looking at ferry to service villages By Alan S. Hale The Northern View The mayor of Kitimat, Joanne Monaghan, wants to see a ferry run between her community and the isolated communities of Klemtu, Hartley Bay and Bella Bella. Currently all ferry service from those communities goes to Prince Rupert. But Monaghan says that three-day-a-week ferry to Kitimat from the villages would have major benefits for all the communities involved. The First Nations communities would benefit from the increased access to the health and education facilities in Kitimat, extra fresh food that could be shipped over and the possibility for cultural tourism in the future. Kitimat would benefit from the new source of educated workers who could fill the many vacant jobs in Kitimat’s service industries and the upcoming industrial jobs from projects like Shell’s LNG terminal. “The last time I looked Bella Bella and Klemtu had 60 to 80 per cent unemployment in their communities. One of the reasons for this is that they can’t get a job because they don’t have the education,” says Monaghan. “If we can get these people trained and get them their Grade 12 or whatever they need, then they can get into the work force.” The ferries that currently stop in Klemtu and Bella Bella are run by BC Ferries as part of the Inside Passage route between Prince Rupert and Port Hardy. Ferry access to Hartley Bay is run by the Gitga’at First Nation and also goes to Prince Rupert. But Monaghan says that the idea is not meant to compete with Prince Rupert for traffic. “It would just be another service. Its not there to be competing with anybody,” said Monaghan. Earlier this month a task force that was looking into the issue finished their feasibility study for the new ferry service, which has now been given over to the City of Kitimat and the Provincial Government. The report has not been made public yet, so Monaghan couldn’t go into the specifics of what the study says.

The Northern View With some help from Northern Savings Credit Union, Prince Rupert’s two Cops for Cancer “Tour de North” riders are $1,200 closer to their $8,000 fund raising goal for pediatric cancer treatment and research. The credit union held a barbecue on Friday afternoon organized by Donna Farwell, Assistant Branch Manager and head of the Cops For Cancer committee, as well as a bake sale a few weeks ago to help contribute funds, with the community’s two riders also selling raffle tickets at the barbecue. Bob Killbery and Jennifer Collins of the Prince Rupert RCMP will be the participating riders this year. Their journey will begin on September 14 in Prince George and will wrap up in Prince Rupert on September 20. This will be both of their first time doing the ride, with Killbery saying that 2012 was a perfect year to take part because not only was his daughter, Jennifer Collins, transferred to the community this year, but it is also his final year
on the force before retiring. Prince Rupert’s two riders are hoping to raise $8,000 between the two of them. The two feel this is a realistic goal to achieve, as each rider is expected to raise at least $3,500 before the ride. Northern Savings has been supporting Cops for Cancer rides for the past two years now, with all Northline Credit Unions from Prince Rupert to Prince George partnering up with local RCMP riders for this great initiative. Overwaitea Foods and Maverick Foods also contributed towards Friday’s event by providing food items for the barbecue. All monies raised goes to the Canadian Cancer Society, funding not only pediatric cancer treatment and research but also facilities like Camp Goodtimes.

Hans Max Bluhm (August 20, 1928 - August 14, 2012) Hans was born in Konigsberg, Germany, in 1928, and found his way to West Germany after World War II. He met his wife Trudy (nee Imhoff) in 1950 and they were married in 1951. Hans emigrated to Canada in 1951, and after establishing himself in the East Kootenays of B.C. his wife followed him in 1952. Two children came soon after, and he worked for the coal company in Michel/Natal, B.C. until 1963. After completing a course as an electronic technician he moved the family to Prince Rupert, B.C. in 1963 and worked for the pulp and paper mill there. He was also employed at the Prince Rupert Fisherman’s Co-op as a maintenance supervisor for a 4 year period, after which he returned to the pulp mill until his retirement. Hans loved living near the ocean and loved sailing and fishing. The Skeena River and surrounding area held a special place in his heart. He was able to continue to enjoy these activities upon retirement in Courtenay. His family was most important to him, and he particularly enjoyed the times together with interesting and stimulating discussions on matters of the world. He will be dearly missed by his wife of over 60 years, Trudy, his two children Margaret (John), and Oliver, as well as two grandchildren Alex (Rebecca), and Anna. The family would like to thank Dr. Matous for many years of wonderful care, as well as the staff at St. Joseph’s Hospital for their special care during his final days.

◆ SCHOOL DISTRICT
Many projects happening over the summer By Martina Perry The Northern View On top of the usual summer maintenance, there are a number of summer capital projects taking place all over School District 52 over the summer months. The two largest projects currently underway are both taking place at Charles Hays Secondary School, the first of which being the continuation of the building envelope project. Most of the windows on the outside of the classroom block have been replaced, with workers pushing hard to finish that portion of the project up. For every window that workers have to replace, they need to repair the wall on the inside of the building. McIntyre says that the interior area around the library and the front courtyard should be complete by end of next week, giving workers a week to finish any cleaning. Before school starts up again, workers will be focusing on completing the inside updates, so that come September they can continue on with work on the outside of the school with respect to the insulation and siding. “Putting on the insulation and siding is a reasonably quiet part of the work. We pushed them quite hard at the beginning of the summer to ensure that all the noisy taking off of bricks was done over the summer when it wouldn’t be disturbing classes. They’ve done very well with that,”
commented McIntyre. The budget for repairs to the school’s building envelope is estimated at about $8.6 million. The Province has budgeted $7 million in this high-priority building envelope repair, and the Prince Rupert school district will contribute the remaining $1.6 million. Originally the project was suppose to be done at the end of October, however it is now expected to be complete in early-December. The second large project happening at CHSS over the summer is the replacement of the turf on the track. At the end of June, the Prince Rupert Port Authority, the Prince Rupert Youth Soccer Association, School District 52 and the City of Prince Rupert all announced they would be contributing funds towards new state-of-the-art turf to replace the nearly two-decade old turf, that was beginning to feel more like sandpaper when you fell on it than grass. A couple weeks ago the crew ran out of rubber to be installed between the ground and turf, so the process was slowed down for a bit, however the rubber has now arrived and workers can now move on with the replacement. The actual turf is expected to start being put in at the end of the week, or early next week. Anyone passing by Prince Rupert Middle School in recent weeks has most likely noticed that half of the front lawn has been dug up. This is where the school’s playground will be installed, with it expected to be in before school starts in September.
Because the muskeg in Prince Rupert tends to be so deep, workers had to dig deep and install large steel beams underground for the playground to sit on. Workers were slowed down after an unexpected problem with the location of the gas line arose, however the issue has been dealt with and now workers are moving on with the project. According to McIntyre, most of the equipment is already assembled and will install very quickly. Another project happening over the summer is the replacement of the gymnasium floor at Pineridge Elementary. Come September, students will be getting their exercise on a more environmentally friendly surface with a new water-based finish, as opposed to the traditional oilbased finished. Finally, a project that is currently in the works is the proposal for a new band room at CHSS. McIntyre says that the project is just at the point of trying to get a tendered package out “We have a substantial amount of the money committed towards that project and we want to get it out for tender to get a firm price as to what it is to identify if there is a gap, and if so how much it would be,” he explained. The Performing Arts Studio would be located adjacent to CHSS, and would be used by students in the day and then would be available for community groups in the evening.
