Volume 58 No. 05

New regs for LNG Cameron Orr and Tom Fletcher A new set of regulations aims to soothe the uncertainty regarding regulations as they apply to reserve lands, at least on Haisla territory. The federal government announced last week the Haisla Nation Liquefied Natural Gas Facility Regulations, which came into being through the First Nations Commercial and Industrial Development Act. That Act was designed to set a framework to fill in regulatory gaps to move forward economic development on reserves. From a report published in the Government of Canada’s Canada Gazette, the existing gaps in regulations meant that the proposed Kitimat LNG project — a joint venture between Chevron Canada and Apache Canada — likely could not proceed. “The project can only proceed if the facility is located in the desired…Bees Indian Reserve No. 6,” said the report. “In the absence of an adequate federal regulatory regime to ensure environmental protection, health and safety, and investor certainty, the proposed liquefied natural gas project could not feasibly proceed on.” The same report notes that the provinces have extensive regulations regarding these types of developments. However there were uncertainties on whether those same regulations apply on First Nation reserve land, as the federal government is the body which has authority in relation to reserves. The regulations established in this new document for the most part mirror what is already established provincially in B.C. The goals of these regulations are reportedly to allow environmental impacts from Kitimat LNG to be effectively managed, address legislative and regulatory barriers to economic development in First Nations communities and to provide certainty for investor, developers and the public. “This has been a long process, but everyone’s delighted,” Federal Aboriginal Affairs Minister John Duncan said in an interview from Vancouver after the announcement. “There have been no delays to the actual project, because they’ve been operating under some interim agreements with the province in terms of permitting.” The B.C. government passed similar legislation last spring, to govern the Kitimat LNG project and a four-tower condominium commercial development proposed for the Squamish Nation reserve in West Vancouver. Without such changes, provincial building codes and environmental laws for burning, emissions and water and land use do not apply to reserves. Continued on page 2

BC LNG gets gas buyer The BC LNG Export Co-Operative is racing to be Canada’s first liquefied natural gas (LNG) exporter and the signing of some recent deals pushes them further. The Co-Op, which stands behind the Douglas Channel Energy Partnership proposal, announced a contract award for LNG purchase and off-take. The award went to Golar LNG Limited and LNG Partners, LLC. LNG Partners, LLC also got the contract award for feed gas supply. LNG Partners are set to work with Tenaska Marketing Canada, a division of TMV Corporation, to procure and manage the natural gas supply. Golar LNG Limited and LNG Partners LLC are working towards finalizing a financing package for the project that would provide for construction and commissioning of initial facilities, subject to receipt of final required permits.

Golar LNG confirmed the news through a press release of their own, They add in their own release that their participation in the project, and their commitment to LNG off-take is subject to “the Company reaching an agreement with the current proponents of the [Douglas Channel Energy project] for financing of the facilities,” as well as receipt of all permits required for the project to proceed. BC LNG already has a 20 year export licence from the National Energy Board. The Co-op’s LNG Project is being jointly developed by the Haisla Nation and Douglas Channel Gas Services Ltd. and is expected to be Canada’s first operational LNG export project. It will be a barge-based liqeufaction facility just offshore from their facility along the Douglas Channel.

have healthy outlets,” he said. As an example he said companies working on projects in town could establish a bulk membership for the workforce to a club like the Snow Valley Nordic Ski Club to allow workers easy access to outdoor recreation. Community groups, from public health to the RCMP, could also provide safety training to escort employees. “There is expertise in the community that can be organized and focused for the young women who are employees of that company,” he said. “If the company were a good one, I’m thinking they’d really

An extra vote for the road Kitimat councillors had to vote one more time for their move to a classroom at the Northwest Community College. That’s because, as administration noted, council actually didn’t vote on the motion the first time. Council voted on and passed two amendments to the main motion first brought forward by Corinne Scott. Except once they established that they’d spend $10,000 to expand the classroom and that the move would be conditional on the college not having reservations about council moving into the space, councillors didn’t actually vote to pass the whole thing. The motion passed unanimously when presented at the January 21 council meeting.

Committee gets the money Kitimat Council has backed a financial proposal from the 60th Anniversary Committee for Kitimat. Administration presented council with a proposed budget of $37,500 for activities and events throughout 2013 to celebrate Kitimat’s 60th — Kitimat will turn 60 on March 31. The six person committee (in the interest of transparency, the editor of this newspaper is on the committee) came up with a list of possible celebra-

tions, the headliner for March 31 being a fireworks display. That was the most pressing budget item that was needed with council’s approval at their last meeting. The fireworks are budgeted at $15,000. Leading up to that is expected to be a pancake breakfast, no-charge access to recreation facilities for some of the day, and a birthday cake for recreational facility patrons. The committee is also hoping to organize a film contest for the

town’s teens, for them to create short films about life in Kitimat. There are a number of other plans in the works as well, from an outdoor movie night at the Riverlodge soccer fields to citizen recognition awards for long-term residents of the community. Kitimat staff noted in their report to council that they wanted to ensure the celebrations were appropriate for the 60th birthday, and not to the scale that a 75th or 100th birthday would call for.

favour that.” The bottom line for Hart, though, is his concern that the employees of such a business would be vulnerable due to their home life and lack of proper education. “I’m concerned about the special vulnerability of that population and I’m further concerned that there’s no specific agency dedicated to keeping that population safe.” Meanwhile the Tamitik Status of Women, Kitimat’s own women’s advocacy group, is still working on crafting an official position to the escort service proposal for town.

“We’re currently informing ourselves and that is including having conversations with women who are working in the trade and using a lens of health and safety for all women,” said Tamitik outreach worker Cheryl Rumley.

worker, what needs to be done and what questions need to be asked? “If I were evaluating an escort service I’d certainly have a conversation with them on how they recruit people, what’s in the deal, is it a fair labour deal?” he said. “Those kinds of people are particularly vulnerable sometimes to labour relations.” He points out that there are ways businesses and the community can attempt to curb the economic desirability of such a business operating locally. “The town could work with the [industrial] companies to provide additional recreational resources, so young guys would

ation for some women in the trade as a “double tragedy.” By that he refers to the fact that a lot of people working in such business are usually from a hard home life. “Oftentimes these are women who are fleeing abusive homes. Young kids, including young women, don’t leave home when it’s working for them,” he said. “They do it because the home is a hurtful place.” From there they may end up in undesirable occupations. “Then in trying to support themselves they become systemically abused,” he said.

Council voted to move forward with consideration for a development permit for 702 - 730 Kuldo Boulevard. The address is for the Kuldo Boulevard Apartments and on January 21 council voted to give retroactive approval for the town to give notice to neighbours and seek public comment — staff started the process in parallel to council and Advisory Planning Commission [APC] review to accelerate the process. The application will also go to the APC for their comments at their January 29 meeting. Staff’s report notes that exterior renovation work has already started on buildings 718 and 720 of the complex. Building occupants received notice on Jan. 17.

Cameron Orr The president of the Northwest Branch of the B.C. Association of Social Workers says his concern would be the vulnerability of potential employees of an escort service. That’s from Robert Hart, who represents social workers over a wide swath of the province’s northwest, including Kitimat. While he didn’t seek to cast a black line through the entirety of the escort service industry — he said some companies may provide legitimate social activities — he did say that some businesses do end up oppressing women through their operations. He called the situ-

Just a few thoughts To be clear before I say anything, I do think it’s good that regulations have been sorted out regarding the Kitimat LNG project to alleviate the confusion over the fact it is set for reserve land. However I was left with a thought as I sorted through all the documents last week. While the company moves ahead with their own studies before seeking a final investment decision, they do have their environmental permits in hand, both from the B.C. Assessment Office and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Office. So that’s good news for them. Except now that this new framework has been signed setting out who has authority over LNG developments, I have to wonder how it made it this far. To recap, the province had regulations for LNG projects, but reserve lands fall under the scope of the federal government, which do not have such regulations in place. So this new document that came into effect last week brings the scope of the project under the authority of the province. It just seems odd to me that environmental permits were allowed for the project when, from a regulation standpoint, there was no clear answer who’d be in charge of such things. Again, it’s all good news and I am happy to see progress regardless, but I would have just expected these kinds of questions to come before signing of any permits. ---This PTI Group lodge concept sounds like a good thing for the town, and I mean that in a much broader sense than the fact that it’s something new. I’ll start with the most significant aspect, in my view, of this whole thing; the vice president of business development Sean Crockett told people at the open house that they are going to develop with an eye for having a line of sight to the Douglas Channel. All well and good, especially when he adds that they will be working with the town to keep in line with the Official Community Plan. And what’s in that OCP? A line that the town will seek to develop waterfront property at Minette Bay. Sight of the channel, aligned with the OCP? Maybe this lodge will be the town’s in to seeing eventual public waterfront. And while we’re on the subject, there was talk about developing senior housing. But here’s another thought; if the city can buy these units off of PTI at the end, the town would suddenly have developed land with structures designed for a lot of people, overlooking the channel. Some simple remodelling of the lodge’s food court could mean a conversion to a council chambers. The location of meetings as you might know was a subject of recent debate. Some of the attached accommodation rooms could potentially even be converted into office space. And how about that, a waterfront city hall. Cameron Orr

In what could be one of the defining speeches of his term, the prime minister said: “It is time for the British people to have their say, it is time for us to settle this question about Britain and Europe.” He announced this would be a decision of the British people, not one by government. “While the EU is in flux is not the time to make such a momentous decision about the future of our country. It is wrong to ask people to stay or go before we have had a chance to put the relationship right.” Meanwhile, the British newspapers were busy wondering, “What woman would be brave enough to marry Prince Harry?” There were lots of pictures of pretty “girlfriends in waiting” as Harry moved back into the London scene after a short and largely media blacked-out stint of service in Afghanistan. Also, pretty close to the top of the news was speculation on David Beckham’s future in club soccer — Chelsea, Man U., but not AC Milan which spurned his services.

Forest for the trees Despite the fact the forest industry in the Northwest is a shadow of its former self, there’s apparently still a lot of money to be made out of trees. At least that’s the hope of the Coastal First Nations group. And they won’t have to cut a single branch to make literally millions of dollars. It’s all based on the idea of carbon offsets/credits. Basically the concept is all the trees up in this neck of the woods daily absorb carbon from the atmosphere. So you calculate how much carbon is absorbed and that’s the carbon offsets you can sell. What are those worth? The Globe and Mail story I read said, “ Currently, offsets are selling for about $10 per tonne and the project is expected to generate up to 1 million tonnes of offsets a year.” That’s $10 million a year. For watching trees grow. Puts me in mind of a line from the Dire Straits ‘80s hit: “Get your money for nothing.” That’s not a criticism of the CFN. More power to them if they’ve figured out an easy way to turn trees into cash. However, I have a suggestion on how they could do even better financially. Back in the ‘90s when there was a forest industry up here I would pore over documents prepared for the BC chief forester that he needed to set the annual allowable cut in this area. At the risk of oversimplification, the AAC was volume based - X cubic feet per year - so forestry staff had to estimate what volume of harvestable timber would be out there in the years to come. Which in turn involved rating the growth potential of different sites - good, medium, poor - since obviously the annual volume increase for trees on poor sites was significantly less than that for good sites. And that rating was based on how much trees were growing on those sites at the time of the AAC review.

Baxyard Banter

by Malcolm Baxter msdbax@citywest.ca

One year somebody worked out the growth ratings were flawed in that you had sites which consisted of old trees that were “bulking up” relatively slowly and had therefore been assigned a medium ranking. But in reality they were good sites. Look at it this way: a two-year-old toddler today will grow dramatically over the course of the next 15 years. While a senior will not. It’s the same with trees: young ones grow faster which means they absorb more carbon per year than old growth giants. So if you log the slow-growing trees on good sites and replant, the more carbon that will be absorbed annually and the more credits you have to sell. Of course there would be a cost to logging, but I suspect that would be more than offset by the increase in saleable carbon credits. It also occurs to me that there might be an opportunity here for the District of Kitimat. One thing this community is not short of is trees - the gullies alone are full of them. And the recreation department has annually been planting even more. Surely they must be worth a few carbon bucks. Of course, the value of the credits associated with these trees won’t be in the tens of millions a year. But they may just cover the cost of providing subsidised taxi rides to the airport. Just a thought.

Donations, not presents Olivia Fernandes might not be able to say in a single word what she got for her sixth birthday. Regardless of how you say it, the Kitimat girl raised $767 for Variety — The Children’s Charity, after asking guests to her birthday to make donations rather than buy her presents. Olivia is close friends with the sister of Levi Gardiner, a oneand-a-half year old boy with a rare disorder which essentially makes coordinating breathing and swallowing impossible. Olivia was impressed with the support Variety provided to the Gardiners and wanted to give back. Olivia’s mom, Kate, said the idea was all Olivia’s, and came from a conversation about how there are children who are ill and in need. Levi’s mom, Michelle, was very impressed by the gesture. “It’s pretty amazing they were able to do this,” she said. “It makes me feel very proud of little Olivia that Levi was able to encourage this.” These days she said Levi has been happy, even as they continue to address ongoing issues. Variety is hosting their major fundraiser, the Show of Hearts telethon, on February 16 and 17 on Global BC.

Trivial Continued from page 4 In Canada, Chief Theresa Spence is getting hungry and is reported ready to exchange fish broth for filet mignon - but there’s time for another 13-point demand for commitment from PM Steven Harper, (and instead of the Governor General and Mrs. Harper, the other federal political leaders to spend time with her (and some other important elected First Nations representatives) to address the various First Nations issues that distressed her enough to put her off her feed including, for the first time, race-based natural resources sharing.) This, of course, provided more opportunity for interim Liberal leader Bob Rae to mumble more support, but NDP leader Tom Mulcair still did not seem eager to get pulled into the quagmire of issues at this particular time. He hasn’t visited Spence. The House resumes next week and Mulcair gets to ask the first question in front of the TV cameras. Fortunately for the media, it’s really cold in Montreal and Toronto and hockey is back and so a bunch of reporters are pursuing unknown sources for more info on whether Wayne Gretzky could become president of the Maple Leafs, despite the fact that that Gretzky and the Maple Leafs deny that issue had ever been broached. In Canada, of course, the weather and hockey are not just trivial (especially if Gretzky or Bieber are involved) and they do trump anything else going on in this country. Everybody gives a damn in the country where the puck can be dropped from outer space! ahewitson@telus.net

A screen grab of the interactive map showing proposals for the community at investnorthwestbc.ca.

Investment site takes award The website Invest Northwest BC (www.investnorthwestbc.ca) has come out ahead with an award. The website, which provides information for potential investors about the opportunities that exist and are possible for the region, took the Technology Provider of the Year award at the annual Northern B.C. Business and Technology awards gala on January 8. The website means a connected look at everything that’s happening in the region. “We wanted to create a regional presence,” said Kitimat Economic Development Officer Rose Klukas, who notes

that when speaking to foreign investors, trying to pitch an individual town of under 10,000 can sometimes under whelm a person used to million-plus communities. “We’ve all recognized that each of our communities have attributes that make us unique to investors.” The details on the website are compiled with the input of economic development officers in communities from Prince Rupert to Dease Lake to Burns Lake, and further. “It’s designed for potential investors but it also provides information about the projects that are unfolding in the community,” said Klukas.

COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER (weekend or weekday)

GATEWAY perspectives

Partners for the long term For decades, respect has been fundamental to Enbridge’s communication with Aboriginal groups across Canada. Among other considerations, that means developing sensitivity and an understanding of the values and issues important to them. As discussion about Gateway has evolved and progressed with Aboriginal communities in B.C., one thing groups have told us, in unequivocal terms, is that they wanted meaningful, long-term involvement in the labour force. That’s why we established a $3 million Gateway Education and Training Fund. This is an initiative for Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal communities that’s not dependent, in any way, upon Gateway approval. This fund supports training initiatives based in the pipeline, construction, and energy sectors. This isn’t training for the sake of training; it’s focused squarely on employment outcomes. And Enbridge is already connecting industry and community to help create career opportunities in B.C. We’ve already co-funded training programs for surveyors and ironworkers. We’re purchasing seats in existing trades programs, and partnering with provincial and federal bodies to help develop skilled tradespeople in the areas of heavy equipment operation, pipefitting, welding, and construction craft labouring. We’ve also co-ordinated the

first of many “workforce connections” workshops, bringing together representatives of Gateway equity First Nations and companies with labourforce needs for some meaningful employment discussion. We’ve heard, loud and clear, from Aboriginal communities in B.C. that they no longer want to be bypassed by economic opportunities created within, near, or around them. With the Gateway Education and Training Fund, we’re doing something about it. We’re showing true commitment to community and workforce development. And the opportunities we’re sponsoring are not exclusive to our proposed project or our industry — they’re regional and cross-sector in nature. We want to stay connected to the Aboriginal community because it makes good business sense. But our intentions go beyond basic business: It’s about partnership. It’s about responsibility. And, ultimately, it’s about respect.

People gathered to celebrate Leon Kirstein’s 100th birthday in this photo originally published in the Rio Tinto Alcan Ingot, November - December 2010 issue. Reprinted with permission

Kitimat loses one of its oldest pioneers Cameron Orr Last November Kitimat lost what was likely to be its oldest living resident, Leon V. Kirstein. Leon lived an incredible 102 years and passed away on his birthday on November 18. His passing marks the end of a legacy of being one of Kitimat’s pioneers, and an avid explorer who even stumbled upon the remnants of an old area gold mine during a hike in the 50s. Kirstein has relatives living in various parts of the globe now, but locally he had no one closer to him than Rolf and Sophie Reschke, who were Leon’s closest friends and confidantes. Rolf explained Leon was part of the original survey crew who laid out the town site and laid down the road from the town to the smelter. Leon is also, said Rolf, the man behind many of Kitimat’s fa-

mous trails. Clague Mountain, Coho Flats, Robinson Ridge and Mount Elizabeth’s trail were the work of Leon, he said. “He was the original trail blazer,” said Rolf. The Reschkes met Leon when he was their neighbour renting a house on Grouse Street, and Leon and another neighbour, a fellow Estonian like Leon, had tried to convert Rolf to their avid vegetarian ways. It didn’t work, but it set the groundwork for a life long friendship. “We more or less became his family,” said Rolf. Leon was easy to spot as he made his way around town, always known to ride his bike and “wear hip waders and a hard hat,” said Rolf. Leon worked for Alcan at one point in his life, and later joined the District of Kitimat. He was a very

“He would not take advantage of anyone, friendship or otherwise.” smart man, knowing five different language, but was also a proud, yet quiet man. Rolf recalls one story of Leon from the 1950s when he had broken his ankle while working in the bush. Rescue crews had come close to finding him but when they were “in arms reach,” Leon said nothing. He was too embarrassed to call out for help. When the potential rescuers had left, Leon crawled his way out of the bush on his own. Such was the kind of guy he was, never wanting to put anybody out. When Leon eventually moved into his own home, he

asked for help from Rolf for the usual household maintenance. Rolf was naturally ready to lend a hand free-of-charge, as friends do, but Leon would never risk taking advantage of anyone. He insisted he pay Rolf for the work, and he was meticulous in tracking it. “One hour and 15 minutes, one hour and 16...,” said Rolf about Leon’s time sheets for his work. “He would not take advantage of anyone, friendship or otherwise. That was not in the cards.” With such a illustrious, long life, it seems like Leon had done it all by the time he passed, except there was one goal of his that will go unmet; he wanted to live to be 120. But with 102 years of trail blazing and town building, he did more with the many years he was given than many men could dare hope in their lifetime.
