LNG Canada files

Premier Christy Clark speaks to an audience at the Kitimat Valley Institute during a tour of both Kitimat and Terrace last Thursday, April 4. The stop in Kitimat was hosted by the Kitimat Chamber of Commerce.

A partnership led by Shell Canada has filed for environmental assessment of a large-scale liquefied natural gas export facility at Kitimat, the latest step in a proposed energy megaproject for northern B.C. The filing includes a letter from the B.C. government asking Ottawa to delegate the assessment to provincial authorities, along with aboriginal consultation. The federal government must first determine if a federal review is required, and then if it can be conducted by the province. Called LNG Canada, the project is a partnership of Shell, Korea Gas, Mitsubishi Corp. and PetroChina. The proposal has already received a federal export licence that allows export of up to 24 million tonnes of LNG per year for 25 years. The application describes a total of four LNG processing lines at a site near the Rio Tinto Alcan aluminum smelter, and a marine terminal on Douglas Channel at a site formerly used as a methanol export facility. LNG Canada plans to start construc-

tion in 2015. In July 2012, LNG Canada announced a partnership with TransCanada Corp. to build a $4 billion pipeline from shale gas fields near Dawson Creek to Kitimat to supply the LNG plant. The project description leaves open the choice of electricity supply, with one option being a gas-fired generating station capable of 200 megawatts or more. LNG Canada is one of five proposals to export gas from B.C.’s North Coast. Others are: • The BC LNG Co-Op, proposed by the Tatham family of Texas for Kitimat • Kitimat LNG, a partnership of Chevron Canada and Apache Corp. for Bish Cove, on Haisla Nation reserve property • British Gas Group, with port facilities at Ridley Island, Prince Rupert and a pipeline operated by Spectra Energy • Pacific Northwest LNG, a partnership of Malaysian government corporation Petronas and Progress Energy, with port facilities at Lelu Island, Prince Rupert.

Premier Clark talks northwest growth Premier Christy Clark toured Terrace and Kitimat last week, and spoke to the benefits of LNG at a meeting hosted by the Kitimat Chamber of Commerce. The visit to Kitimat capped off two scheduled stops in Terrace, where she announced $465,000 in training funding for the Northwest Community College. She had no specific announcements to make when she spoke to the business community at the Kitimat Valley Institute on Thursday afternoon but did continue to speak to the future benefits of liquefied natural gas (LNG) developments in the Northwest. She said its her desire that communities like Kitimat get “their fair share” for LNG developments and spoke to the proposed Prosperity Fund the BC

Liberals have suggested to collect the royalties and taxes from developments relating to exporting natural gas. Through that fund she said the province’s debt could be paid off over 15 years, a number she said was taken from conservative estimates of what the province would take in over 30 years from natural gas. She explained that number is based on just two or three LNG facilities opening in the Northwest, which she said could bring in $100 billion over 30 years. When asked if there is a plan to address social services in town which are even now feeling a strain from an initial wave of people to town (see page 6 for more on how the Kitimat Council is trying to deal with that), she said that is being addressed through,

among other ways, visits by government minister Bill Bennet, who was in town recently taking stock of the needs and challenges of the community. (Sentinel, February 13, page 1). She said the Prosperity Fund would also be used to address the needs in communities. She acknowledged while speaking to media later that LNG facilities are not yet running and that the math regarding how much will go into the Fund isn’t yet finalized but said she is confident that it will work out to a good deal for the province. Comparing LNG developments to Canada’s oil sands, she said that natural gas and its exports could represent a larger economic impact than oil, and LNG, she said, is far cleaner. As for the money for the col-

lege, the $465,000 is set to come from the Canada-British Columbia Labour Market Development Agreement. That agreement set up onetime funding of $7 million for post secondary and training institutes to seek short-term training opportunities, designed to meet labour needs in the region. Clark did spend time in Kitamaat Village, meeting with Chief Councillor Ellis Ross and taking an aerial tour of the proposed LNG sites. She had no dedicated time set to meet with District of Kitimat councillors save for at KVI. Mayor Joanne Monaghan, who was at the KVI event, said that she had her chance to speak to the Premier as well and aired some issues and concerns for the District, but she said at this time

she wouldn’t specifically say what those issues were. “I brought to her attention some of the things council has been looking at and wanting answers to,” she said. “I was assured that she or someone in her office would be getting back to me.” “So with that I was happy.” Meanwhile, in the days leading up to Clark’s visit, she announced a five-year freeze to B.C.’s carbon tax. The carbon tax is budgeted to raise $1.2 billion in the fiscal year that began April 1, with all revenues required to be returned through personal and business income tax reductions. B.C.’s carbon tax was a political battleground before the 2009 election, with former NDP leader Carole James campaigning for it to be scrapped.

RCMP deem fire as arson ... page 6

2 Northern Sentinel, Wednesday, April 10, 2013

Family is still seeking answers Submitted The reward for information about the June 4, 2009 fire that completely destroyed 31 Swallow St. in Kitimat has been increased to $4,000. The blaze, which also spread to 27 Swallow Street and melted the siding on 35 Swallow Street, left a single mother and her two small children homeless at the time. The young family - who were sleeping at the parents’ home the night of the fire - lost everything they had, including their beloved eight-year-old pet dog. While the fire was

not classified as an arson, both the fire department and RCMP described it as suspicious and the police left the file open. The family recalls that a resident on Swallow reported that she had awoke in the night and heard a commotion outside the home, followed by a vehicle speeding away from the area just moments before the fire broke out. “The person or persons responsible for the [fire] have never been brought to justice and we believe that someone in the Kitimat area has information

that will help solve this crime,” said the family in a news release. They have asked that their name not be publicized at this time. “We would like nothing more than to finally have closure for our family. We’re hoping that with the passage of time, any loyalty someone had toward the perpetrator(s) has diminished and/or someone might want to clear their conscience and will come forward with conclusive information,” the family also said in their release. Information can be e-mailed to swal-

PTI Lodge good, says local land developer against any sort of development in Kitimat. The arguments that some make, that workers should be put into new, permanent housing options in town hold no water for him, saying any new developments are guaranteed to go empty as soon as the construction boom hits its end. “To those opponents who would talk about the negative impacts construction workers will have in their neighbourhood should be very careful who they say that to. There are a lot of very influential people in

Kitimat who are construction workers. I’m a construction worker and I take offence to the innuendo that is being made about construction workers,” said Oviatt. Continuing that argument, he said that construction workers are the people who build the jails, but it’s other, unemployable people who tend to fill them. Meanwhile he said the benefits from a PTI development are great. The sale of the land itself is to go towards further development of a proposed ‘active adult living’ neigh-

Although mail is still not being delivered to homes on Farrow Street there is a hope at the end of the tunnel. Kitimat Council recently received word from Canada Post via a letter that representatives of the mail organization will be working with the town to find a solution. “We appreciate that you and your council have taken steps to strengthen fines and enforcement options in your animal control bylaws,” wrote Robert Sawka, director or operations for Vancouver Island and Coastal regions for Canada Post. He later wrote, “an agreement to resume delivery to Farrow Street should also stipulate next steps in the event this dog becomes a problem at some point in the future.” Sawka said in his letter that there is a specific dog on the street which has been a problem for mail carriers, but which would not cause any incidents for months at a time. Sawka concluded the letter saying he has instructed his representatives to contact the staff at the District of Kitimat and the Humane Society “to arrange a meeting in an effort to resolve this matter.” Deputy Chief Administrative Officer for the District of Kitimat, Warren Waycheshen, told councillors that there have been some

it that way,” he said. “I firmly believe that what they’re proposing will not affect the value of my properties or any of the past sales in my subdivision.” The problem, he said, is too many people in support of the project sit back quietly while the minority opposed are the ones making loud noises. “In this case, they’re hiding behind their identity and not revealing how they will be negatively impacted,” he said. He added that the protestors for this proposal are the people who usually speak

house up to 2,100 people who would be working on nearby industrial projects. “Everything that [PTI] is offering for that particular area... I remain openly in favour of everything they’re offering,” he said. Oviatt noted in his presentation that of course he would not be free from bias regarding that project. “I may be biased, in the ownership of the land, but I truly believe that Strawberry Meadows is a premier subdivision in Kitimat and that it is of my best interest that we keep

One of those weeks with so much to say This is one of those weeks where there’s a good number of things to talk about, so I’ll just give some time to each subject on my mind. First, Christy Clark was in town. The B.C. Premier didn’t have any specific goodies for us, beyond reminding everyone about the prosperity fund that is proposed to pay down the provincial debt. The money, to come from liquefied natural gas exports and developments, will also be diverted to communities to help them cope with change. We asked her if there was a plan to address social matters now, considering many local service providers are already straining even without full on construction. She said that comes down to recent visits by minister Bill Bennett, to get a sense of the communities challenges. Plus money from the Prosperity Fund will help in that regard as well. It’s nice that the issue is being observed, but I didn’t have a chance to point out Kitimat can’t benefit from the Prosperity Fund until the province is actually exporting LNG. So not entirely helpful for today’s front line workers in Kitimat. Meanwhile, I’m happy to hear that Canada Post is still reaching out to the District in order to get mail to Farrow Street resumed, after the service stopped delivering due to a problem dog on the street. Sure, mail isn’t yet going but my hunch is that something will get figured out soon. Especially with the passing of a new animal control bylaw coming shortly. An finally, Jack Oviatt spoke strongly against people who are protesting the proposed PTI Group lodge, the 2,100 bed facility for workers, which is expected to be built in Strawberry Meadows, just east of the hospital. He said the group, mostly anonymous naysayers, are the same people who shun most development in Kitimat. I know I’m fairly new around here but I had a hunch he might not be alone in that sentiment. I reached out to the paper’s Facebook audience to see if they think there’s a culture of naysaying in Kitimat. The response was huge to the question, and a lot of people said yes, there is. Some blamed anonymous groups, others even blamed the town council. One person even suggested the town is nothing but negativity. I think that might be a stretch, but turns out Jack has a lot of support in his belief, anyway. As for how to solve the problem, probably no easy way, except maybe for those who actually are happy with things to speak louder. Admittedly it’s easier to complain than cheer sometimes. Cameron Orr

Fire at the closed Kitimat motel is said to be arson Cameron Orr At just after 11 p.m. on April 2 fire crews were called to a fire at the closed Aluminum City Motel on Dadook Avenue. Fire crews found a cabin unit of the former motel full engulfed in flames, and it took two hours for Kitimat fire crews to have the fire put out. Thankfully there were not reported injuries, said deputy Fire Chief Pete Bizarro. “It’s been abandoned for a number of years and [there was] nobody in or around the structure,” he said. The Kitimat RCMP took over the investigation of the fire. The Forensic Identification Unit of the RCMP arrived following the incident to assist in the investigation. The fire was initially deemed suspicious but the RCMP now say they do believe it was deliberately set.

RCMP do make regular patrols to the abandoned units. They have occasional reports of people on the property but little actual contact with whoever may be up there. But people are very likely making use of the property, he said. “It is believed that people will go up there, squat, hang out, drink. There’s evidence of some drug use,” he said. Many rooms however remain intact from the day the motel closed. Peppler said in his own patrols through the property he’s found rooms with a fully made bed, seemingly untouched since the facility closed. The motel property is currently listed through Kitimat’s Re/Max office for $1.3 million. Anyone with information about this fire can call the local detachment at 250-632-7111, or call Crimestoppers to remain anonymous at 1-800222-8477.

Council seeks funds for social service programs Cameron Orr Council has decided to earmark $200,000 from the town’s reserves for ‘social purposes’ but no specific proposal is yet tagged to get any of that money. Rather, the intent was to potentially make the money available to front line social services to provide a buffer against the strain many areas are already feeling with an influx of people into the community, many seeking employment. The motion was put forward by Mario Feldhoff, and he noted that other levels of government do have a responsibility for social programs, but his motion is in response to conversations he’s had with Kitimat’s own front-line providers. The sentiment was well received by councillors but the over arching concern regarded whether there could be trouble as a local government helping fund programs that get support from up the chain of government. Rob Goffinet said it’s a “slippery slope” to potentially be duplicating resources provided by the province, for instance.

Phil Germuth agreed with Goffinet, and suggest an upcoming meeting with Skeena MLA Robin Austin may provide answers on how the town could help local services. Mario noted in closing that the idea was just to earmark the money, and to work out how to spend it over the coming months. His motion passed unanimously. Municipal Treasurer Steve Christiansen explained what money the town has in reserves at the moment from which this fund could draw. The three biggest reserves include the cumulative surplus of $1.6 million, $750,000 which was marked for the bridge painting reserve and $800,000 for Radley Park erosion and improvement. The $1.6 million is usually there to pay back any collected taxes following appeals to B.C. Assessment. There are some unresolved cases from 2011 being reviewed right now on that issue, said Christiansen.

The District of Kitimat held a major day of celebration for their 60th year of incorporation. The day, March 31, included free access to recreation facilities, including the swimming pool and ice arena, while birthday cake and free hot dogs were handed out, on a remarkably beautiful afternoon. The festivities were kitimat capped off with a dramatic fireworks display at the Riverlodge. 60th Anniversary heated events will continue self serve throughout the year, storage units including two nights Sizes from of outdoors movies in 8’x8’x10’ to July, and awards and 12’x 27’x10’ honours for long-time 250-632-6934 Kitimatians in the fall.

Obituaries

IN LOVING MEMORY OF

Rejean Pageau

September 28, 1960 - March 31, 2013 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Rejean Pageau on March 31, 2013 at the Kitimat General Hospital. Rejean was predeceased by his parents, Raymond Pageau and Alice Verret. He is survived by his loving wife Mia Algarvio; daughter Pascale; sister Claire (Pierre Hamel); brothers Gilles (Joanne Robinson), and AndrĂŠ (VĂŠronique Hamel); parents-in-law Maria and Joseph Algarvio; brother-in-law Glen (Claudine Fiset); aunts Juliette Verret (late Victorien RhĂŠaume) and Anoncia Verret (late Rosario RhĂŠaume); uncle Louis-Philippe Verret; and numerous cousins, nieces/nephews, and friends. Rejean was born in Lac St-Charles, near Quebec City, QC where he grew up and went to school. When he graduated from Laval University in 1983 as a mechanical engineer, he joined the Canadian Army where he worked in Calgary (1986) and Chilliwack (1988). He completed graduated studies in Bangor, ME (1991) and then went to work for the Saguenay (Chicoutimi) town. In 1997, he joined Rio Tinto Alcan in Kitimat, BC where he worked since then. Wherever he lived and worked he was appreciated and respected by all who knew him. He was an accomplished athlete and outdoorsman, and did many marathons and triathlons. He enjoyed hiking, biking, fishing, skiing and kayaking. The Algarvio/Pageau families would like to thank the community, friends and colleagues for their prayers, generosity and kind gestures. A special thank you to the Kitimat General Hospital and Vancouver General Hospital nursing staff, and doctors who provided compassionate care. The funeral mass will be held in Kitimat at Christ the King Catholic Church on Saturday, April 13, 2013 at 1:30pm. We hold you close within our hearts, and there you will remain, to walk with us throughout our lives, until we meet again.

Forever loved and missed.
