Gil Island popular among local humpbacks Cameron Orr It’s no fluke. There’s a growing body of evidence that shows the area around Gil Island is actually a very important habitat for humpback whales. A scientific study into the abundance of humpback whales was published on September 12, showed that at least in the immediate area of Gil Island, the threatened humpback whale continues to grow at a remarkable pace. Naturally researchers are now cautioning that industrial development with increased marine traffic could pose a threat to the whales. The report comes after an eight year study done by researches from the University of St. Andrews, Cetacea Lab, and the Gitga’at Lands and Marine Resources Department. Among the reports findings are that eight per cent of B.C.’s humpback whale population use the waters around Gil Island, an area which represents just 1.5 per cent of B.C.’s inland coast. Also, from 2004 to 2011, the number of whales doubled in the area, to an average summer population of 140. “We just wanted to get a better understanding of which species are in the area, what different parts of the area are they using, and how many there are,” said Chris Picard, science director for the Gitga’at First Nation, in which the territory study took place. “Down the road we want to, with that better understanding, develop recommendations or strategies that could assist in their conservation,” he added.

The idea to do this study came from anecdotal evidence that there just seemed to be a lot of whales in the area. Janie Wray, a whale researcher for Cetacea Lab, said they first arrived at Hartley Bay to seek permission to install a whale monitoring station in 2000, and were fortunate to be allowed.

“We built the station on Gil Island and put in a number of hydrophone stations that allowed us to listen to whales,” she said. Continued on page 2

No easy path towards affordable housing Cameron Orr Kitimat Council will push ahead in seeking an amended terms of reference for the Kitimat Housing Committee, in an effort to form a sub-committee, specifically tasked to promote development of housing projects. The move comes from a recent motion from Mayor Joanne Monaghan, who had asked for staff to prepare a draft terms of reference for an Affordable Housing and Housing for Persons with Disabilities committee. The resulting report provided two options to councillors: amend the existing terms of reference for the housing committee, or create a brand new steering committee. The debate sparked a conversation about whether or not the existing housing committee was the best group to take on the task of getting actual construction projects started.

years ago, expressed grief over the lack of progress on housing from the committee. “I have seen very, very little happening. They say they’re going to do it but nothing ever happens and that’s one of the reasons I put this motion forward, to say that we need people who understand the building and that aspect of it,” she said. “They talk about it every month, every couple of weeks but nothing ever gets done because they haven’t really focused. We need a focus group.” Margaret Warcup, who is the housing committee chair, said that’d it’d be unfortunate if there was to be two overlapping committees. “To appoint two committees, our thought was, well then, who are you going to put on the other one, are we both going to be doing the same work?” said Warcup. “It needs a lot more discussion before we start another meeting.” Continued on page 2

source for the whales, said Picard. “There seems to be a particular richness in this area, because compared to other parts of the coast, whales are far more abundant in the area where we studied.” Wray adds that there could be a social connection for the whales as well which brings them out. “The amount of singing that occurs between humpback whales in the fall has also increased,” she said. “And I think right now it’s relatively quiet, this is a place they can come, communicate freely, they can find their prey easily by using sound because the ocean is so quiet through these channels.” Underlying these findings, of course, is the threat that tanker

Continued from page 1 “Initially the project, when we first came, was geared more towards Killer Whales and we started to notice all these humpback whales,” added Wray. “Every year we noticed the population growing and growing.” She said that between 2004 and 2009, the number of humpbacks, which started at 42 in 2004, had doubled. The report led the researchers to a few key conclusions. The first and most obvious, of course, is proof that there are a lot of whales in the area, which is encouraging for the species’ overall recovery. The other is the realization that Gil Island, researchers see now, is important, likely primarily as a food

traffic could have on populations. “Certainly part of the reason we did our study was keeping in mind the proposed developments that would increase shipping traffic,” said Picard. “As many people are aware, increasing shipping traffic does present potential problems for whales in terms of the noise pollution.” “Then of course there’s oil spills. Oil spills damage all parts of the environment and whales are no exceptions,” he added. That damage comes from the contact with whales directly and to their food supply, he said. With such a concentration of whales, researchers also point to the potential of whale strikes against ships. Researchers are

meanwhile beginning to see a bigger picture relating to the fin whales as well, a relative of humpbacks. The second largest mammal in the world, said Picard, fin whales are seeing a growing abundance in the area, which is actually peculiar because they’re known to be more open ocean whales. “I’m particularly curious to find out what it is about these waters that makes them

so productive,” he said. Wray is equally excited about learning more as well. “There’s a big fin whale story going on here. That’s pretty huge.” Meanwhile researchers continue to collect information, and Wray said she’ll be looking at the social relationship of whales in the area, as well as monitoring the survival of calves after they leave their mothers.

Local briefs No vacancy The Kitimat Housing Resource Project posted to their Facebook page recently a good news / bad news situation. The good news is that they’re told from landlords that the housing situation could slightly loosen from its current levels at any time. The bad news is that the housing situation reflects zero vacancy at local apartment buildings. Out of a list of eight apartment complexes, all were reporting no available units as of September. The vacancy reflects only apartment buildings, and not any other kind of units, like rental houses and secondary suites.

Face Off In the ongoing activities which aim to celebrate Kitimat’s 60 years of incorporation, the District of Kitimat is sponsoring a Youth Film Face-Off. Anyone between the ages of 13 and 18 are welcome to submit their film by October 4. The videos people can submit are asked to be about “Your Kitimat,” and the committee is looking for work that shares a personal vision of Kitimat. To entice wouldbe directors, $1,500 in prizes are being offered for winning submissions. If enough entries are received a Youth Film Fest may be held. Details on how to enter are at the District’s website at www. kitimat.ca, or people can call Bryna Kaines at 250-632-8910. The 60th anniversary committee will judge the entires based on entertainment value, technical merit and the message portrayed. Kitimat was incorporated on March 31, 1953, and to celebrate its 60th year, Council appointed a committee to organize activities.

Highlights of LNG Canada

Northern Sentinel, Wednesday, September 25, 2013 3

5,500 people anticipated needed for construction Cameron Orr Some involved in the LNG Canada project — the liquefied natural gas plan proposal headed by Shell Canada — spoke to the business community in Kitimat last week, in an information update hosted by the Kitimat Chamber of Commerce. Co-presenting were Jane Newlands, manager of community and aboriginal affairs, and Seiichi Tsurumi, stakeholder affairs for Mitsubishi, a major partner in the LNG Canada proposal. Among the details explained over the lunch is that the company is hoping that by 2015 they’ll have cleared the regulatory and environmental hurdles, clearing the way for construction to wrap up in 2020. LNG Canada expects a construction workforce of 5,500 people for the project, a sizeable amount of people to settle. Newlands told the attendees that the company is looking at different ways to house the workers, including possibly making use of Rio Tinto Alcan’s own work camp which is in place for the modernization project. That camp is currently set to peak at 1,672 workers for that project. Other housing options are also being explored but those were not explained in detail at the event. Meanwhile, Tsurumi explained the project, which includes a much larger footprint than Methanex’s former site, where the plant is proposed to be built. LNG Canada’s land extends south to where they hope to acquire Eurocan’s former wharf, which is currently owned by Rio Tinto Alcan. He overviewed the process of liquifying natural gas — which involves cooling the gas to -162C — and shipping the product, which happens on double-hulled tankers, which has been the standard since the 1960s. He said the plant will be quite safe to the community. “The LNG storage tanks are a very, very robust construction. I might point out that Japan has 27 LNG import terminals, and each of those

Weeber remembered Last week news broke of the passing of long-serving New Hazelton Councillor Pieter Weeber Sr. The news drew reaction from Kitimat Mayor Joanne Monaghan, who knew Pieter well during her years as vice-chair and chair at the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine. Pieter was a longserving council appointee to the regional district. “I could always count on him to have rational thoughts and think things through. He didn’t have knee jerk reactions,” said Monaghan. “It’s a great loss because we’ve lost someone who really thought things through and...had people as his first concern.” Weeber wrote a let-

“The LNG storage tanks are very, very robust construction.” terminals have storage tanks that will be very similar to what you’ll have in Kitimat,” he said. He continued that despite two large earthquakes in recent memory to areas where these terminals exist, there was no reported damage to any LNG storage tank. “We have great confidence in these designs,” he added. He said that once all four trains of the plant are online — a train is “LNG speak” for, essentially, a production line — the Douglas Channel may see about 350 tankers in a year. He said combined with the Kitimat LNG project proposal — that one is a joint venture between Chevron and Apache — there could be 500 tankers a year in the channel. The responsibility of shipping, he said, would be on the buyer. “The cargo is in the hands of the buyer once it’s loaded on the ship. So the buyers will be responsible for shipping the gas,” he said. Meanwhile he touted the benefits of development projects like these in Canada, which he said is an ideal country and makes him confident that LNG Canada will accept a final investment decision at the conclusion of environmental reviews, expected around 2015. “Out there, there are many competing sources of LNG but we believe Canada brings to the game a stable nation, lots of natural gas to export, and relative closeness across the Pacific Ocean to the far eastern markets. These are advantages that any buyer would appreciate,” he said. “I think there are enough buyers out there for all our four trains.” If the project remains on its current schedule, it’s anticipated that the first LNG train will start running at around 2020.

Seiichi Tsurumi with Mitsubishi, a major partner in the LNG Canada proposal, talks about the project at a Chamber of Commerce meeting last Tuesday.

Tips for a Greener Fall

Here are a few different ways to be green this fall: • Keep back-to-school green by reusing old school supplies like binders and backpacks. Using reusable containers to pack lunches is a good idea as well. • Rake up the leaves that fall in your yard rather than a leaf blower to help conserve energy. Raking is also a great workout! • Using leaves in your compost is a great alternative to throwing them away.

Getting schooled Well depending on who you ask, either young people today have their pick of work, or, the market is competitive and marked with employment uncertainty. Well, to be fair, there isn’t quite the confusion I’m indicating with that opening paragraph. But I’m just reacting to an e-mail I just received from the Certified General Accountants BC association, which says that while young workers are boasting record high levels of postsecondary education, many lack the skills that are actually in demand. “However, many post-secondary graduates are lacking the necessary credentials for these occupations, and for those seeking a job outside the trades or professions where deficits exist, it is difficult to find a good entry-level job,” Richard Rees is quoted as saying in the news release. He’s the CEO of ICABC, or the Institute of Chartered Accountants BC. Bringing my own experiences into this, whether it was a lack of attention on my part that was the cause (very possibly!) but when I was on my way out of high school I didn’t have a firm grasp on the employment demands of the day. I followed my interests, rather than playing the employment field for what was in demand. (In retrospect perhaps I should have majored in being a software design genius and invented a social network.) So I can understand in my own way how there could be so many educated people out there, educated in the wrong fields. We’re promised work, but in some way the kind of work needed isn’t being communicated. That’s among the many challenges that the BC Liberals are saying they’re going to look to tackle throughout the fall. LNG will be the behind-the-scenes headliner for government ministries as they seek to figure out a tax scheme for the projects, as well as figuring out skills training. That process will include information gathering on what jobs will be needed by all major projects to the end of the decade, or beyond. Of course it may have been nice if the labour question at least could have been answered earlier than the fall, the season new students begin their studies and embark on their wonderful academic adventure. Not to say there may not be jobs for English majors after graduation (it worked for me) but if the labour demands could be spelled out plainly, those looking for the best training for future employment can make better choices. Otherwise we’ll just have to wait until enrolment next fall. And that’s one more year behind.

Among them I reference in particular, a Canadian and an Albertan public becoming increasingly aware that their economic future - and their lifestyle - is at risk as the oil and gas industry struggles to find a better way to present its products to a wider world. Canadians, as a whole, are split - I don’t know if its down the middle - or whether there’s a larger percentage of Canadians more interested in the contribution of a well run and wellperforming resource energy industry to Canada’s economy. This is certainly more critical as we see the predicted shrinking workforce, pressure on pensions, health and welfare services, accompanied by the needs of a baby-boom surge of retirees from coast to coast. It’s also critical to British Columbia where the federal government and the provincial government are seeking the support of the dubious populace to develop a major north coast energy industry with LNG and oil pipelines across the province and into Vancouver, in the face of a loud and energetic swath of opposition from the a large cross-section of the public, First Nations and even numerous communities that have declared direct opposition to such ventures.

Getting lost in the big trade fair called life Luke 19:2: (Jesus said), “For the Son of Man has come to seek and save the lost.” Have you ever lost something and then found it again? Well, one time my wife’s family was at a trade show in the Max Bell center in Calgary. Joyce announced that she had to go to the washroom, and so I was in charge of the kids. Well, as it happened I got distracted by an exhibit for a couple of seconds, and when I looked down for our three-yearold daughter, she was gone. I can’t really describe to you how that felt. I panicked! Joyce panicked too when she got back and we began a frantic search. We enlisted the help of security and everyone began looking for our daughter. We looked for what seemed like a half an hour with no results, and we really began to despair, when all of a sudden over the loudspeaker system came the sweetest words I have ever heard, “Could Mr. And Mrs. Magnus please come to the security desk…we have your daughter.” Panic turned to re-

Hospital temperature a hot topic in the summer On a few occasions readers have relayed to us their experiences at the Kitimat General Hospital and Health Centre in terms of temperature control. Namely, the temperature is for some not often at the proper level for anyone’s comfort during the summer. The Sentinel spoke with the hospital administrator Jonathan Cooper to explain how the hospital’s air condition works and what people should do if they’re not satisfied with the cool air. He said that technicians on site operate the air conditioning units, and they work during the week from 6 a.m. to around 8 p.m. at night, and work 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on weekends. “Our concern is to keep comfort to a reasonable level in the building,” Cooper explained. “Like any other system we do have issues that requires maintenance...occasionally there’s interruptions to the service but obviously we keep that to a minimum.”

He points out that there could be certain clients in the hospital, such as elderly people, who are more sensitive to cold temperatures who might have comfort issues. Technicians however are on-call after hours as well, and Cooper said staff may come back in if there are issues with the temperature in the building. As for why technicians have to be in charge of the units, he said it’s about accountability. “It’s just a question of being accountable for the equipment and being trained how to use the equipment, and to monitor if there are any problems. Obviously the engineers are trained to do that, to be responsible for the system,” he said. Air conditioning is, however, only a part of their overall job duties, he added. Cooper said that if people have any concerns about the temperature in the hospital then they should bring it up to on-site engineers or reception, and the issue will be looked at.

Weekly Crossword Solution in the Classifieds Clues Across

Continued from page 4 Robert Redford, I truly think, deserves much of the “hypocrite” appellation hung on him, but I also think he represents a segment of the American energy industry more interested in isolating Canadian oil and gas resources, and identifying it as “plan B” when the US finally exhausts its own resources. Declarations of a new long term oil and gas independence, I take with a grain of ocean salt. To me it’s still a race and the Americans are uncomfortable about Canada’s oil going elsewhere for better dollars. I don’t accept Premier Redford’s dismissal and exclusion of her namesake’s views based on his interna-

tional jet-setting, that’s weak and ineffective. She must focus on working with her province’s key industry to improve its safety performance, with the federal government to improve the country’s confidence that the benefits to provincial and national economies are real and provable and that all possible environmental impacts are reduced to an absolute minimum. That will do more to meet the concerns of Canadians and others not prepared to take the oil sands companies at their word that their contribution to global warming or their danger to Mr. Redford’s “great northern forests” is not what critics claim.

It looks a little shallow now, but this dome will eventually be part of a 40 foot water reservoir. The District of Kitimat had to build the new structure after their original wood stave tank began succumbing to age. The total cost of the project is $750,000, inclusive of a $67,000 contingency fund. The previous wood stave tank was isolated from the water system following a partial collapse in 2011.

Montreal trio set to entertain

Angela Beaudry and her husband Heber Gray. Angela is hoping for donations of travel points to get her to her family in Winnipeg.

A call out for points An area woman is seeking charitable people to donate travel points in the hopes that she can get to see her family for Christmas. Angela Beaudry spends three days a week, for the past 13 years, getting dialysis treatments in Terrace, and has been unable to see her family in Winnipeg for nine

years. Her condition is the result of complications from kidney stone treatments. Her return home would provide two benefits; one, that she’d connect with family who she has fallen out of contact with. And two, she’d try to source a kidney match from within her family for a pos-

sible transplant. In order to be able to make it to Winnipeg though she’s hoping some people can help her out. Friends have already pitched some of their own Air Miles, but she hasn’t quite reached her goal. If you think you can help her out, she welcomes phone calls to 250-632-2513.

Addendum on Robinson Ridge The Kitimat Snowmobile and Hikers Club’s President Chad Fournier wanted to emphasize additional details to the Sentinel’s September 11 article on the work to be undertaken at Robinson Ridge. First, all the current efforts for the

acquisition of grants, and the execution of the Clague and Robinson Ridge Improvement Projects have been in collaboration with the District’s Leisure Services Department, and Recreation Sites and Trails BC. Also, he wanted

to clarify that the new boardwalk sections and BC Parks approved back country toilet, installed on Clague, was done by Recreation Sites and Trails BC. Now that they’re installed, the club will be responsible for maintaining them.

The Best Deal In Town! Kitimat Girl Guides are Getting Ready to Start a New Year!

Next year’s run is already scheduled for September 14, a Sunday. The schools hold their own Terry Fox Run on September 26.

This proposed project would see Chevron excavate marine clay from the Kitimat LNG construction site at Bish Cove and work closely with the Federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans to deposit this natural material in specific locations in Clio Bay. The clay will cap-off decaying wood debris left by historic log booming operations that has accumulated on the bottom of Clio Bay, damaging the Bay’s natural ecosystem. A key goal of the project is to restore natural marine life populations in Clio Bay.
