Northwest not immune to skills gap
Cameron Orr A council of six universities are warning that by 2016 the province won’t be able to supply enough workers to fill in huge growth in demand. The Research Universities’ Council of BC (RUCBC) say that based on the province government’s own numbers and other statistics, by 2020 18,800 jobs will go unfilled in B.C., because of the lack of necessary education and training. The president of the University of Northern B.C., a member of the university council, said in the north we’re already entering into skills shortages. “For many of us, for example in Kitimat and other very active fronts, this has already arrived,” said President George Iwama. He said a problem facing college and university campuses everywhere is that the grade 12 graduation rate is declining. Additionally, many people are choosing to move to urban areas rather than staying rural. “When you combine the two [factors] for Northern B.C., our enrolments are declining,” he said. By 2020, out of the 18,800 jobs needed, 8,400 will be those requiring a university degree, 8,100 a college credential and 2,300 need trades training. The year 2016 will be what Iwama calls the “tipping point” where jobs start to outnumber available workers. Iwama said the skills deficit will be exacerbated in the north because of numbers in the BC Labour Market Outlook which anticipates that two of the top three regions with the fastest rate of employment growth will be in the north. The university council, in response to the skills shortage, put together an Opportunity Agenda for BC, which boils down to three goals. First, is to have a space for every qualified student, and add 11,000 student spaces in universities, colleges and trades training over the next four years. Second, have a guarantee for students in need, by investing in more grants and scholarships, and making improvements to student loans. Finally, they want a commitment to “innovation and jobs by establishing an Innovate BC initiative.” That would bring together government, business and post-secondary institutions together to drive economic growth, they say. Iwama said the Opportunities Agenda is in a way related to a recently completed Regional Training Plan, which was assembled by the Northwest Workforce Table. Continued on page 2

More details on lodge concept Purchase agreements are in place but confidentiality restrictions forbid vice president Sean Crockett from giving the specifics on the land they’re seeking for their lodge. The Sentinel reached Crockett following the PTI Group’s open house at the Rod and Gun Club where they presented their plan for a workforce ‘lodge’ to house the numerous workers anticipated to arrive in Kitimat over the next several years. “We’re collaborating with the town administration on zoning amendments,” said Crockett. “We’ve committed to these kinds of consultations like we did...and as our application for zoning is finalized and put through the system there will be more consultation on the specifics.” He said that PTI Group is not currently working with any particular proponent - so this isn’t a camp designed for places specifically like Shell’s proposal or Kitimat LNG - but that they’ll work
with multiple clients seeking housing. “We’re building for the market so that makes it very speculative in nature in the sense that we’re building just for anticipated overall demand and shortages of rooms,” he said. He added, “We’re contracting to multiple clients. Either the site operators and developers themselves for the major projects or the individual contractors that are left to find their own accommodation.” Ensuring a benefit to the town of Kitimat is an important part of the discussion, he said, as conversations with the town have focused on that in light of concerns other area work camps haven’t added much to Kitimat’s economy and downtown revitalization. “We could have tried to find a very remote site or be a part of the community,” he said. “Our approach was to be a part of the community.” He said at their open house they anticipate being within five minutes from
the City Centre. “Now you have an active client base with easy access to the downtown core that could drive shopping for everything from clothing to other goods. They might seek out restaurants, food and other impact in the downtown area,” he said. “And also there’s folks who don’t go home when they’re not working, they stay in town and take advantage of tourism opportunities in the region.” Accessing the community’s existing recreational facilities is another part of the conversation. While their lodges do often include amenities such as gyms, PTI Group will be figuring out how to best incorporate into the community, being that they’ll be near Kitimat’s swimming pool and Tamitik sports complex. As for the eventual wrap up, he said their modular units are designed for a 25 year lifespan and it’s still to be determined whether they will be removed or if there’s potential for other uses.

Kitimat Council and staff held a lunch meeting with board members of the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine. The two bodies occasionally meet but it had been awhile when they got together on Saturday, January 26. Mayor Joanne Monaghan said it was essentially an orientation meeting for the two sides to get to know each other, and the regional district representatives also took advantage of being in town to tour MK Bay Marina.

They took an overall score of 47.13 per cent in the list published by Corporate Knights, who are a research and media company “focused on quantifying and animating clean capitalism drivers for decision makers,” their ‘About Us’ page says.

Continued from page 1 That document set out a number of recommendations to get people trained for upcoming opportunities and pushed for more training opportunities. “That underscores a very important aspect of what the research universities are trying to say; that companies are telling us ‘yes, we need equipment operators, we need the welders, we need the plumbers, but we also need people with university training.’,” said Iwama.

The world of tomorrow
HD Mining announced a few of weeks back that they’re sending home the Chinese miners brought in to work in their coal mine project. The decision came after a fire storm of controversy and court battles from the unions, saying the Chinese workers were paid lower wages and prohibited qualified Canadians from getting the jobs. It’s a timely situation as the Research Universities’ Council of BC are warning of an imminent skilled worker shortage by 2016, continuing to the end of the decade. Skilled worker shortages aren’t a foreign concept to Kitimat. Last fall, Rio Tinto Alcan was in active recruitment mode to hold off a anticipated skilled worker shortage. Not everyone is convinced there is a skilled worker shortage, as you would have read in this paper when all this was happening last year. The BC Labour Market Outlook 2019-2020 may not disagree, saying there will be an over-supply of workers up to 2015. It’s 2016 when suddenly there won’t be enough to fill the jobs. So regardless of whatever is eventually figured out or decided for HD Mining’s current situation, it’s something that will be a very real situation for a lot of places in the coming years. In that same Labour Market Outlook document, they say that 1/3 of the decade’s new job openings — estimated at about 1,027,000 — will be filled by international or inter-provincial in-migration workers. So to help fill the worker gap universities are seeking more resources to create student spaces and open up opportunities for prospective students who may otherwise have trouble affording education. The writing is on the wall that there needs to be government action, from all levels. More locally the Regional Workforce Table just finished their Skills Training Plan. Compiled through the input of numerous groups - including UNBC, which is also on the university research council as well - it sets out a number of recommendations to get people into training programs. A quick, significant infusion of resources into post-secondary education seems to be in order. Money is finding its way into places like the Northwest Community College for things like trades programs, but a real plan still needs to be adopted that will address a shortage of over 18,000 skilled workers by 2020. Cameron Orr
Allow me to back up a second In a case of mis-hearing words and maybe hearing what I wanted to hear, the PTI Group lodge actually isn’t being designed with a line of sight to the channel. They’ll be developing with a mind to preserve the line of sight we already enjoy, but in the sense of being aesthetically pleasing. So in short, the camp itself isn’t waterfront. I’m happy to correct myself on this matter.

Finance, Jim Flaherty, the selfappointed budget scalper, who won’t let you borrow an extra five per cent on your home mortgage, for the good of the country, clearly had nothing to say about this “drop in the bucket expense.” However, when you consider there was no problem either, with paying the way of some of Canada’s biggest corporate CEOs on the recent trade mission to China, what are we talking about! Government waste and hypocrisy go hand in hand. I return to my oft-repeated submission - stop using these smarmy polite “honourable member” salutations in the House. It is just hypocrisy. There’s little order in the Commons and - at least at question period - very little honour, cooperation or truth. Just spin. ..... I like it when I see good things happening for good people in Kitimat. Sometimes, when it happens it can make you just a little jealous, but not in a bad way. That’s how I felt when I heard that Kitimat school counsellor Kathleen Cherry has just succeeded in having her first children’s book published. Continued on page 5

Kitimat Library plans a trial run of Sunday operating hours Kitimat residents will have their shot in helping decide the Kitimat Public Library’s hours. That’s because the library board has approved a survey and test run for Sunday openings. The library has been without Sunday hours for some time but patrons have been suggesting that Sunday hours would be desireable. To get a better sense of the demand, the library is conducting a short, one question survey, which seeks to gauge interest. But desire and practicality are two different things. That’s why the library will actually be open on Sundays for 10 weeks. At the end of that period the board will consider whether it was a success or not and proceed from there.
If it does prove successful, it’s not yet known whether the board would pursue funding for Sundays or wait until the start of the next budget year. Regardless, the library’s executive director is excited , and curious, to see the results of the survey and trial openings. Virginia Charron said that while she personally would love to see it re-open for those days, it’s really up to the public to decide that. To answer the survey question, you can call the library at 250-632-8985, or e-mail kitimatlibrary@telus.net. The trial Sunday openings start on February 24 and run to May 12, with hours from noon to 4 p.m.

A Canadian ballet twist
Kitimat Search and Rescue volunteers stand by the helicopter used for training at White River Helicopters’ base in Terrace. Photo submitted
The Kitimat Concert Association presents Ballet Jorgen’s “Swan Lake” at Mount Elizabeth Theatre on Sunday, February 10 at 7:00 pm. In celebration of Ballet Jorgen Canada’s 25th anniversary season, artistic director and CEO Bengt Jorgen has re-envisioned the classical and dramatic Swan Lake, adding a hint of Canadian heritage. While this major new production of Swan Lake showcases the extraordinary beauty of traditional ballet in its purest form, Jorgen re-imagines it in the picturesque seascape of the Fortress of Louisbourg, Nova Scotia. The elaborate sets are designed by Camellia Koo, reflecting the beauty of Canada’s national heritage park and providing a dramatic backdrop to Robert Doyle’s 17th century costume designs. Doyle worked on the original
restoration project of the Fortress of Louisbourg. Ballet Jorgen is committed to not only recreate ballet classics in a way that is respectful of tradition, but also in a way that is engaging for their modern audience. They engage in a dialogue about Canada and reflect Canadian identity in their work. “I am so excited to do this work and be able to do it with the kind of incredible dancers that we have,” said Bengt Jorgen. “Swan Lake has an evocative and inspiring quality that makes it a pleasure and beauty to work on, and I’m excited about transferring that feeling to the people watching it.” Tickets sold at Hollywood Video. Information for this article was provided by Colin Asuncion, Marketing Services Coordinator for Ballet Jorgen Canada
Search and rescue keep sharp Submitted Kitimat Search and Rescue (KSAR) volunteers gathered on January 26 for training exercises in Terrace. At the White River Helicopters base, the training provided hands on experience for volunteers to learn and practice the basics of helicopter safety. Training focused on hover exits out of a helicopter, communications, and patient packaging and loading. White River Helicopters Owner Sid Peltier and pilot Andy Ramsay donated their entire day off, and helicopter time, to the cause. The professional training provided that day to KSAR members is an invaluable service that allows the members to be as prepared as possible for scenarios requiring air support in our area. Kitimat Search and Rescue is a notfor-profit organization, which utilizes volunteers, to locate individuals, who are lost or injured, on land and inland waters. Much of the training for KSAR is paid for by fundraising efforts and donations from the community. KSAR will actually be hosting a fundraising dance,

“Cupid’s Ball”, on February 9 to raise funds for continued training like that experienced this past weekend. Tickets can be purchased through KSAR volunteers and at Pyramid Printers in advance only. Fog forced KSAR to close down an earlier planned training exercise on January 19 on the grounds of Minette Bay Lodge. A White River Helicopters aircraft was meant to leave from Terrace to the grounds, where Lodge owner Ruth Mills had kept volunteers fed as they waited, but weather kept things grounded.
GATEWAY perspectives
Kitimat: A safe option There’s no mistaking the importance of Kitimat, B.C., to the Gateway project. It’s where the pipeline ends, and it’s where marine operations begin. I’d like to set the record straight on why we chose Kitimat, at the head of the Douglas Channel, as the site for Gateway’s marine terminal. The answer took thousands of hours of research, planning, engineering, environmental science, oceanography consultation, weather monitoring, and simulation. But the simple reason is . . . safety, all the way. The Douglas Channel is one of the widest and deepest inland waterways on North America’s west coast. Government research had already determined Kitimat to be among the safest ports in B.C., and about 1,500 tankers carrying petrochemicals have docked safely at Kitimat over the past quarter-century. Strategically speaking, Kitimat provides the lowest environmental risk for all aspects of Gateway operations. It offers a safer endpoint for the pipeline route, from a geotechnical perspective. The marine terminal at Kitimat also provides safe approaches for tanker traffic — with a suitable turning basin in Kitimat Arm, and natural deep-water berths that are sheltered from open-water wave conditions.
Join the conversation at
At its very narrowest, the Douglas Channel is 1.4 kilometres wide — three times wider than Transport Canada’s recommended width for two-way tanker traffic. Water depths in the marine channels are up to several hundred metres. As an added measure, full simulations of vessel traffic in the Douglas Channel were carried out at a world-leading facility in Denmark. It tested the largest proposed vessels in environmental conditions that tankers would experience in the marine channels. The result was a thumbs-up on the shipping route, endorsed by both government departments and the British Columbia Coast Pilots. Why Kitimat? Why the Douglas Channel? It’s the safe option for Gateway.

Family Day!
8 Northern Sentinel, Wednesday, February 6, 2013
Celebrate BC’s first Family Day Monday Feb 11 Eat together ■ Family Day is the ideal time to bring your family ‘back to the table’. Given the increasingly busy schedule of every member of the family, eating together has been a casualty of our hectic days. Whether you’re together in your home, on a mini-vacation or enjoying a local restaurant, there are numerous benefits to eating together. Sharing a table means sharing your day, sharing your undivided attention and sharing conversation. It is a chance to give extra attention to your children and teens. Family meals foster warmth, security and love, as well as a sense of belonging. The way that you act at the table becomes a model for your children. They learn from your appreciation of the meal and your social skills - especially when outside the home. Table manners are social skills and leading by example makes it easier for parents to teach without lecturing. Using family meals as a way to sample new menus can be both fun and a great learning experience. By giving family members input and the opportunity to choose the menu, it becomes an ideal way to expand their horizons on a wider range of foods and cultures. It also can lead to healthier choices as well as developing an open mind for experiencing new things. A way to get more out of a family meal is to engage the family in menu selection, shopping and preparation. You can begin this at a very young age giving children age-appropriate tasks like stirring ingredients, washing vegetables, tearing lettuce and setting the table. As your children grow they can take on more key responsibilities and the pride that comes with preparing a special family meal. This teaches your children cooking skills, nutrition and appreciation for the effort of meal preparation. It can also provide a great source of accomplishment and sense of self-sufficiency. Plan to make your Family Day special by including all those who make up your family. Pay tribute by making your meal special and so memorable you’ll want to ensure you do it more often.
Explore together ■ There is no better province to explore than British Columbia and no better family bonding experience than sharing the thrill of a new discovery or experience. Day trips can create remarkable family memories. They offer a wonderful way to spend time together and learn more about where you live. The variety of experiences available to families is different in each region of this spectacular province - you might decide to explore close to home or venture to one of the other regions in B.C. over the Family Day weekend. Whether taking SkyTrain, BC Ferries, driving, or hopping a flight, there are many ways to invest in a day of discovery. Travel is just one aspect. To maximize the experience families should involve everyone in the planning. By planning ahead you and your whole family can experience a worthwhile outing and make every aspect fun. Create a list of activities or venues and assign a rough budget for each. Allow family members to weigh in on their preferences and discuss what they would like to see, do or learn at each. You might decide to stay in a hotel and be a tourist in your own hometown. Kids or youth can map out the sites and activities, creating a family agenda including selecting the points of interest,

lunch and shopping as well as enjoying the amenities your hotel might offer. It’s the perfect way to free up everyone from everyday tasks and roles. Researching history, attractions, museums, parks and markets can teach valuable lessons and it helps children to plan within a budget. This way they are part of making important decisions, appreciate both the effort and cost of outings and will be more enthused about an agenda they helped develop. Be sure to capture your family time by taking photos, saving literature or purchasing a memento. This can lead to great family discussions about what each individual enjoyed or learned and starts you planning for future family explorations.

Family Day 2013
Share together n Bringing together your extended family can create a highly memorable and valuable life event. They say “it takes a village to raise a child” and many would agree especially in today’s world of working parents and latchkey kids. The support, experience and interest of your extended family can have a significant impact on your immediate family. Regardless of your definition of ‘extended’ family, bringing together those with whom you share history with can have lasting benefits not just for you and your children but for those you invite to share your day. It is common in today’s world to have older children in nuclear families reach their teens before meeting extended family members. Geographical isolation is common for middle-class families who move based on occupational opportunities while family branches retain their independence. Family Day is the ideal occasion to hold family reunions to re-establish and integrate a stronger family connection. This allows your children to connect with extended family members and to share a better sense of their heritage and belonging. Don’t forget to include senior members of your family. Family reunions and relationships inspire seniors to stay active and pursue their well-being. Studies have found seniors feel revitalized when they spend time with families. Your children will benefit from hearing their oral history and that’s an inspiring experience that won’t always be available to them. Another way to celebrate Family Day is to gather your extended family and friends around something you care about. It might be a shore clean-up, a family walk or a garage sale. You might volunteer at a foodbank. Food is often central to gatherings and with everyone contributing to a family meal afterwards, it becomes a great way to share B.C.’s first Family Day.
Create together
e1
n One of my favourite memories was creating an enormous piñata in preparation for a multi-family holiday. We blew up a huge bouncy ball and covered it with papier mache. Our children and those of our friends were young so after my young sons painted the ball white, I drew a score of cartoon characters, shapes and funny animals all around it. Filled with age-appropriate, small toys, puzzles and treats, the big white ball became a major activity for everyone in our three-family group. Every age took turns colouring in the shapes through-out the day, knowing when it was completed the ball would be strung up. The anticipation and excitement was heightened because the reward came with activity and was not immediate. Creating something as a family can mark an important time in your family history. It captures the age and ability of your children, your interests and a point in time. By working together on a project your family can develop new skills, collaborate on something truly memorable and enjoy what each family member brings to the endeavor. Think about all the things a family
could create together – a family album complete with stories, mementos and funny or poignant memories. Your family might be old enough to handle something more ambitious like preparing a garden, building a dog house or designing and painting a family recreation area in your home. Technology puts an amazing array of tools in the hands of today’s families. You can plan, write, film and edit a movie with your everyday computer and smartphone technology and software. Even more fun is sharing your family creation with friends around the world. You might even suggest a film festival by inviting families to create their own film and have a “popcorn premiere” to show them all. Searching online will uncover an astounding number of crafts and projects you could tackle as a family. It can be as simple as building and flying a kite. Or you may look for something you can recycle or re-purpose into a creative new item – whether a work of art or function. It’s bound to make your family members proud environment stewards as well as treasuring your time and project as a family.

Legal Notices
NOTICE Kitimat-Stikine Terrace Public Library Cost Sharing Local Service Amendment Bylaw No. 625, 2013. The Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine gives notice that it proposes to amend the “Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine Terrace Public Library Cost Sharing Local Service Establishment Bylaw No. 321, 1992” by adopting “Kitimat-Stikine Terrace Public Library Cost Sharing Local Service Establishment Amendment Bylaw No. 625, 2013”. Bylaw No. 625 is currently at third reading and may be adopted as early as the February 22, 2013 Board meeting. The purpose of the Bylaw is to: • Increase the maximum annual requisition limit that can be levied from $210,000 to $262,500 to meet current operational needs and provide room for incremental future increases as required. • This Library Cost Sharing Service was established by bylaw in 1979 and was approved by referendum. The current maximum annual requisition limit of $210,000, was established by Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine Terrace Public Library Cost Sharing Local Service Bylaw No. 321, 1992. In 1992 the actual tax levy was just under $50,000 and has steadily increased to just under $195,000 in 2012. • Costs are expected to continue to be recovered primarily by means of a property value tax based on net taxable value of land and improvements. Based on current assessments, the residential tax rate for different requisition amounts are estimated as follows : ✓ $0.37/$1,000 of net taxable value of land and improvements on a requisition of $210,000. ✓ $0.45/$1,000 on a requisition of $250,000. ✓ $0.47/$1,000 on a requisition of $262,500. Persons wishing to inquire or inspect this Bylaw can view it on the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine’s website www.rdks.bc.ca or contact the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine at #300, 4545 Lazelle Avenue, Terrace, BC V8G 4E1, telephone 250.615.6100 or 1.800.663.3208, office hours are from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, Monday to Friday excluding holidays.
Marlins place high at regionals Submitted The Kitimat Marlins had 26 swimmers competing in Terrace at the 2013 Northwest Regional Swimming Championships. One hundred swimmers from teams from Terrace, Smithers and Prince Rupert were also in attendance. With strong swims from all the Marlins swimmers and relay wins in the 10 and under and 11-12 girls the Marlins placed second behind the Prince Rupert Rapids in overall points at the meet. Leah Desousa (10) took her first ever gold medal in the 10 and under girls division with some excellent swims and 100 per cent personal best times. Her biggest improvement was a 40 second drop in time in her 400 meter freestyle. The Marlins have a strong group of 10 and under girls as Hannah Pearson (10) also with the Marlins took silver for overall points in the division as well. Her biggest improvement also came in the 400 freestyle, a 17 second drop. In the 11-12 girls division Marlins swimmer Alivia Salema (12) took the gold medal for overall points. Her best swim of the meet came in the 200 breaststroke, a 14 second improvement, her third AAA Provincial qualifying time and a time that ranks her third in BC for 12 year old girls In the 13-14 girls Marlins swimmer Kleanza Cathers (13) took the gold medal for overall points. Her best swim of the weekend came in the 100 freestyle, a two second drop and only one second away from her second AAA Provincial qualifying standard. In the 13-14 boys Marlins swimmer Brander Pacheco (14) swam to all personal best times. He achieved his 4th AAA Provincial qualify-
ing standard in the 400 IM with a 30 second improvement in the event. He also reached his first qualifying standard for the next age group up in the 200 butterfly with a 2 second improvement. In the 15 and under girls category Marlins swimmer Robyn Alderman (16) took the Bronze medal for overall points. Her best swim came in the 800 meter freestyle where she dropped 50 seconds off her personal best time. In the 15 and over boys category Kyler Cordeiro (17) battled sickness and some very tough competition to take the gold. His best swim came in the 100 breaststroke, a personal best time. Raychel Davies (12) and Morgan Winterburn (12) became the Marlins newest AA Provincial qualifiers. Davies qualified in the 400 and 800 freestyle and 200 butterfly while Winterburn qualified in the 200 backstroke. They will now both be attending AA sc (25 meter pool) Provincial Championships in Surrrey in two weeks time. The largest one swim improvement came from Ben Anker (14) who took off a whopping one minute and 18 seconds off his 800 meter freestyle time. Also of note, besides Desousa and Pacheco there were three other swimmers that achieved 100 per cent personal best times in all seven of their races. They were Madisen Hauki (12), Madisen Szmata (11), and Nolan Striker (12).

Strict marine safety standards will ensure we respect our neighbours above, around and below us.
Although tankers have been safely navigating the north coast and its channels for decades, marine safety remains a top priority for British Columbians. We have been planning the Northern Gateway Project for over a decade, with a particular focus on protecting the environment. We have added specific safety requirements to our marine operations plan to help make the waters of the north coast safer not just for tankers serving the project, but for all marine vessels.
Tankers will reduce speeds in the channels…
Qualified BC Coast Pilots will board and guide all tankers… To prevent spills, all tankers serving the project will be modern and double-hulled, and will be vetted by independent, third party agencies before entering Canadian waters. Once strict safety and environmental standards are met, they will be guided through the Douglas and Principe Channels by qualified BC Coast Pilots.
Tankers travel slowly, but to make sure that marine species and their habitats are respected, tankers will be required to reduce speed as they pass through certain sections of the channels. Even their escort tugboats will have quieter engines to reduce underwater noise.
Powerful tugboats will escort tankers… Additional radar and navigational aids will improve safety for all vessels…
Tugboats have been shown to significantly reduce tanker incidents worldwide. Powerful tugboats that have been specially commissioned for Northern Gateway will assist in the safe arrival and departure of tankers. All tankers will be attended by a close escort tug. In the channels, laden tankers will have two tugs–one tethered at all times. These tugboats will have emergency response equipment on board and will be capable of assisting any marine vessel.
Ad #EN018-11/12E REV
For increased safety and sure guidance, additional radar systems and navigational aids, such as beacons, buoys and lights, will be installed throughout the routes. This will not only improve safety for tankers, but for all marine traffic on the north coast.

It’s more than a pipeline.
It’s a path to delivering energy safely.
