KITIMAT - While there is still a good deal of time between now and a potential final investment decision, the LNG Canada project proposal did reach a notable milestone with the formalized agreement of the project as its own company. The new entity, LNG Canada Development Inc., is headed by CEO Andy Calitz, and includes a new ownership arrangement. The same four partners are involved in the project but Shell Canada now controls 50 per cent
of the project, PetroChina now holds 20 per cent ownership, and KOGAS and Mitsubishi each hold 15 per cent. Calitz was joined by representatives of those partners and with Premier Christy Clark and Deputy Premier Rich Coleman during the announcement for this on April 30 in Vancouver. The “uncertainties” the company still has to deal with before there would be any construction at LNG Canada’s site at the former Methanex facility includes the environmental reviews through the Environmental Assessment Office and the Oil and
Gas Commission, further consultation with First Nations, a front end engineering and design study (FEED), gas development strategies and labour arrangements, as well as a final cost estimate. “That work will take 18 to 24 months,” said Calitz. Ensuring labour requirements and physically building a pipeline through the mountains are among the other issues Calitz is looking ahead to. LNG Canada has contracted TransCanada to build a proposed natural gas pipeline called Coastal GasLink to deliver the gas to the Kitimat liquefaction facility.
Premier Clark said that the announcement on April 30 is a “vote of confidence” that the province is prepared to work with investors and that its a signal of progress for “all LNG projects and for investors around the world.” “We cannot get to that final investment decision eventually if we don’t take this important step that we’re taking today,” she said. She suggested there may be final investment decisions from some LNG companies by the end of this year but a LNG Canada final investment decision won’t be made until at least next year.

Wheelchair-dependent man forced to live on the streets By Martina Perry THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT _ Shortage of affordable wheelchair-accessible housing units in Prince Rupert forced Durwin Gordon to spend a number of nights last month living on the street. “There is no housing for someone who is wheelchair-dependent,” said Peggy Davenport, a retired nurse who has been trying to help Gordon find housing. “I just don’t know where I’m going to go,” Gordon said. “Everything is in the air.” A number of years ago an accident paralyzed the lower half of Gordon’s body, with the 45-year-old being unemployed for sometime. Depending on social assistance, Gordon utilized the Salvation Army’s housing program and lived at Raffles Inn. But after the elevator broke down, Gordon was no longer able to reside at the inn as it was difficult for him to get up the stairs. “I’ll be lucky to walk five steps with crutches, and I’ll have pain all the way up my spine,” Gor-
don explained. “He would have to leave his wheelchair downstairs where it would be vandalized, and pull himself up the stairs. It’s petrifying for him,” Davenport said. Gordon was then moved to Sunset Villa temporarily, but said he was told he could only stay for one month. Davenport said she was called on April 15 and told that Gordon had spent the night outside of the former Shopper’s Drug Mart on Third Ave. West; Gordon had spent the night on the streets on both April 14 and 15. Then, on April 16 Davenport said Gordon pooled all the money he had together and, along with some donation he received while on the street, was able to rent a room at the Pacific Inn. The following day arrangements were made to send Gordon to Smithers on the Northern Health Connections Bus so he could be housed at the emergency shelter there. However, only a few days later he was back on his way to Prince Rupert, claiming he was told they were unable to provide the support he needed.
On April 28, Gordon once again was forced to spend the night on the streets. “I’ve been bounced around in the system,” said Gordon. After returning to Prince Rupert, anonymous donations allowed Gordon to stay at the Moby Dick Inn most of last week. Gordon said he had been told he was at the top of the waiting list for an apartment at
Sunset Villa, where he would prefer to live permanently. However, he found out his application was denied by the property manager M’akola Housing Society on May 1. B.C. Housing did not immediately return requests for comment from The Northern View, the sister paper in Prince Rupert to The Northern Connector.

Coast Tsimshian benefitting from industry-related revenue By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT - Money coming from industry to the communities of Metlakatla and Lax Kw’alaams are having a big impact on the quality of life for residents, according to Chief Harold Leighton and Mayor Garry Reece. For Leighton, money from agreements such as the revenue sharing deal signed with the provincial government is part of moving the Nation out of a system of federal funding that simply no longer works. “We want to get beyond that. We want to develop our own economies and to pay our own way. We no longer want to be dealt with with program dollars that are not sufficient enough to do what we want to do for our communities. We want to move ahead,� he told delegates of the National Aboriginal Business Opportunities Conference on April 30.
Jeff Clarke #250-627-6116
“We see many opportunities that aren’t going to stay here for a long time, so we really have to take advantage of it while we can and at the same time protect what is important to our community in terms of our environment.� Although such agreements were only signed recently, Leighton said there are already tangible improvements in his community. “Just recently, Metlakatla built an emergency response vessel so that if something happens in Metlakatla, and we’re looking at our youth and elders, we can respond to those emergencies. There is always a vessel available in Metlakatla. We’re just building a ball field and recreation park for the Metlakatla people and that is coming from these early benefits ... we just finished construction of a new health centre in Metlakatla. We didn’t have enough money for it, so we used the money from these early benefits to complete the health centre,� he said.
“Those benefits work very well for our community and that is the way we want to go forward. We want to build capacity for our members.� For Reece, the revenue sharing and partnership agreements are a way of making up for the lack of other payments Lax Kw’alaams would be receiving. “Everything that is happening in our territory, I always mention that we don’t get taxes. The City of Prince Rupert gets paid taxes, Port Edward gets paid taxes, so the agreements we sign that we get revenue sharing for, that to me is part of the taxes we would have been getting,� he explained. “It is so we can do a lot in our community and it makes a huge difference for our people.� The comments came during the final panel of the conference and immediately after the two signed a partnership agreement with NCSG Crane and Heavy Haul Service president Ted Redmond to create

Film festival seeks submissions By Naomi Gourlay
THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
TERRACE - SkeenaWild is proud to announce that the 5th Annual SkeenaWild Film Festival (SWFF) is officially open for submissions from May 1st to September 15th, 2014. This year marks a special milestone for the SkeenaWild Film Festival as we celebrate our 5th Year running! With over 500+ films and photos submitted over the past four years, SWFF has become the largest home-grown film and photo festival of Northwestern BC and it just keeps getting better. In addition to our regular line-up of categories, this year features new categories for the ‘Best SmartPhone Pic or Video’, as well as, the sure to be hilarious ‘Funniest Skeena Story’. Our region holds some of the most dramatic landscapes and compelling subjects. This lends inspiration for all kinds of cre-
ative works. Feature and short-length films can be of any genre including documentary, action/adventure, comedy, animation, music video, etc. and SkeenaWild offers support to those who are interested in developing a submission for the festival from the use of our camera equipment to providing assistance during the editing process. In addition to SWFF, SkeenaWild is also facilitating a five day Film Camp for youth ages 1318 this summer. Participants of the SkeenaWild Film Camp can expect to be im-
mersed in all aspects of the filmmaking process including writing, directing, filming and editing while being led and mentored by local media and video professionals. Dates of the Film Camp will be announced shortly with early-bird registration open and encouraged to ensure a space. Film and photography is a field of considerable interest and SkeenaWild has consistently been at the forefront by producing compelling video that focuses on the conservation and protection of Wild Salmon and our ties to this resource,
as well as, the facilitation of community engagement initiatives such as SWFF and the SkeenaWild Film Camp. The result is a culmination of stories and moments that depict genuine care, connection, concern and passion for the Northwest region. SkeenaWild Conservation Trust is a regionally based organization dedicated to the longterm health and resilience of the wild salmon ecosystem, while optimizing economic returns to First Nations and local communities. Its head office is in Terrace, B.C.

Daughter fighting for dialysis in Rupert By Martina Perry THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT - Jaswinder Bains has vowed to do all she can to get a dialysis facility for Prince Rupert in honour of her late mother. Her mother Jaswant Kaur Kalar was unable to spend the last months of her life in Prince Rupert because she required hemodialysis every other day after her kidneys failed. Bains hopes by sharing her story she can raise awareness about the need of a centre in Prince Rupert so that people needing treatment can remain in the community with their loved ones. After suffering from kidney failure and heart failure, Kalar was brought to the Prince Rupert Regional Hospital where she was in intensive care for a number of days. After originally being told her mother wouldn’t be transferred to Vancouver for further care due to her age, Bains said Prince Rupert Regional Hospital staff pulled some strings and Kalar was eventually moved to the Kidney Care Clinic at St. Paul’s Hospital. Here, Kalar was hospitalized for more than a month, with Bains and her five-year-old son travelling traveling down a number of times to be with her. During her stay at St. Paul’s, Kalar’s condition continued to deteriorate. “I offered my kidney. My brother offered his kidney, but they told us [no because she was 80 years old],” Bains said. Kalar required hemodialysis every second day, taking between three and five hours to complete with each centre visit. While present on the North Coast at one time, there is no longer a hemodialysis facility in Prince Rupert; the closest centre is in Terrace.
Sheila Gordon-Payne, health service administrator for Northern Health, said there are people in Prince Rupert who have home hemodialysis, which requires training to perform. Because Kalar’s first language isn’t English, she was unable to get the needed training. Bains tried to get the training but was overwhelmed with all she needed to know. Although she wanted to, Bains knew she couldn’t make the required number of trips with a full-time job and family to take care of. Then Bains had to make the difficult decision of relocating Kalar and her husband to the Toronto-area to live with her son. The resolution was especially hard on Bains, who was extremely close with her mother; her mom and dad had lived with the family for more than 20 years prior to her becoming ill. “My mother never liked Toronto, neither did my dad because it’s too crowded. We are from a small village back home and this town is just like my own village,” she Bains, who said her mother pleaded to go back to Prince Rupert with her. “I had to let her relocate in the time she needed me most. She left on the condition that I would visit her every two months. She stayed with my brother for about 10 months before she passed away. I could not be there in her last moments; I will always regret this,” said Bains. Gordon-Payne said Northern Health tries to provide services as close to the community as it can, but cannot offer every service without a certain level of demand. “Every once and awhile this comes up because it is difficult for families. We try to support families,” she said, adding the Northern Health Connections Bus runs ev-

For us to run a program you need to have a certain number of people who require that specialized care,” she said. Gordon-Payne was unable to provide the cost of equipment, but said the cost of training would be more significant. “If someone was to say tomorrow they would buy the equipment, what we would still need to look at is training the nurses. Do we have enough cases that they keep their skill level up, how do we cover if people are sick or on holiday, how do we keep everyone up to date and current. It’s more than just having a piece of equipment?” she said, adding the BC Renal Agency and Northern Health monitor communities to decided when a centre is needed. “If our need was to increase, we aren’t saying there won’t ever be increased service here. It needs to be identified at a sustainable level,” Gordon-Payne explained.

TERRACE - On the left, Prince George Guides unload their gear after making the journey to Terrace to take part in the April 25-27 Girl Guides of Canada Rivers North Area camping weekend held at the Northwest Regional Airport. More than 50 guides and leaders used the facilities of the 747 Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron. The weekend featured a circus challenge theme. Right, thanks to Hawkair for the recent “mock airplane ride” for the 1st Terrace Sparks. It was enjoyed by all!

Tahltan share resource revenue VICTORIA - The Tahltan Nation is set to receive up to $300,000 a year from the provincial government once two run-of-river projects using water from the Iskut River north of here go into full production. The money is a portion of land and water rentals to be paid to the provincial government by AltaGas of Calgary for its 66 megawatt McLymont Creek project and its 16 megawatt Volcano Creek project. Both are set to be completed by late November 2015 and both will feed power into
B.C. Hydro’s Northwest Transmission Line which is nearing completion. The money is on top of $2.5 million a year that will flow to the Tahltan Nation from the province when the much larger AltaGas project on the Iskut, the 195 megawatt Forrest Kerr run-of-river facility, goes into production this summer. All three revenuesharing agreements come under the province’s First Nations Clean Energy Business Fund, which promotes First Nations participation in the clean-energy
sector. And the one for Forrest Kerr, signed in March 2013, was the first-ever to be signed under the clean energy business fund. All three projects are in Tahltan traditional territory. In advance of the projects going into production, the Tahltan received $186,000 for Forrest Kerr, $12,400 for McLymont Creek and $3,000 for Volcano Creek. Provincial officials have cautioned that final payment amounts each year will depend upon a number of variables. The three Alta-

Gas projects are the first ones to feed power into B.C. Hydro’s Northwest Transmission Line. AltaGas did begin flowing water through its Forrest Kerr facility last week but when it will actually begin generating power to be fed into B.C. Hydro’s Northwest Transmission Line isn’t known as completion of the line has been set back. “Once the [transmission line] is available, commissioning to tie Forrest Kerr into the transmission line will begin,” an AltaGas release stated last week.

Port CEO outlines plans for future growth By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT - Coming with a price tag of $90 million, the Road, Rail and Utility Corridor (RRUC) is a significant investment opening up Ridley Island for future development, but Prince Rupert Port Authority president and CEO Don Krusel said what is happening now is just the tip of the iceberg. “What you see is only the first phase. We anticipate investing another $150 million in that project in the future,” he told delegates at the National Aboriginal Business Opportunities Conference on April 29. Phase one of the RRUC, which is 75 per cent complete and is expected to be finished in December, includes three inbound and two outbound rail lines that are expected to service Canpotex’s proposed potash terminal. At full build out,
the port authority expects 14 inbound tracks and 12 outbound tracks each capable of carrying 450 rail cars. In addition to discussing continued expansion at Ridley Island, Krusel provided an updated timeline for some major projects in Prince Rupert. The port authority now expects the expansion of Fairview Terminal to come online in 2017, the same year as an off-dock container yard is expected to open, while the commencement of operations for Canpotex is expected in 2018 and LNG shipments could begin in 2020. “These projects, once online, will create an additional 60 million to 80 million tonnes of capacity at the port of Prince Rupert,” he said. Coupled with LNG developments proposed for Grassy Point, Prince Rupert Mayor Jack Mussallem is anticipating

Phase One of the Road, Rail and Utility Corridor is 75 per cent complete and should be finished in December. brighter times ahead. “After construction, it could be that Prince Rupert is home to many workers even though the jobs are in Port Edward or the Tsimshian Peninsula ... we believe our population will climb
back up,” he said, noting the city is making land available for new subdivisions and industrial businesses. “People are anxious for work. We want a good quality of life here.”

TERRACE - Thornhill Primary teacher Ryan Chapman was taped to the wall of the school’s gym May 2, one of two activities that came out of raising money to help with the expenses related to student Hailey’s Pettit’s battle with leukemia. Grade 3 student Mikayla Beaudette, 8, decided to cut her hair and donate it to the Angel Hair charity and student raised money in connection with that activity. The school collectively raised $760.95.

Two Kitimat nurses are fundraising for a medical mission to Haiti.
Helping hands for Haiti By Cameron Orr THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
KITIMAT - Haiti is not a country you expect many people to pine for, but Hope Bechard leaves a piece of herself back there every time she leaves. The Kitimat nurse has done overseas volunteer trips since she was 18, starting in the Dominican Republic. She turned her sights to Haiti after the country was hit with a devastating earthquake. “When the earthquake hit Haiti I just felt the need I had to go,” said Bechard. The program they’re using to go to Haiti is called Hands Up for Haiti, and Bechard said she recently became the Canadian representative on their board, based in New York. For this latest trip, the third with Hands Up but the fifth overall to Haiti, she has recruited fellow nurse Amanda
Slanina. Bechard said she’ll do a nine week stay in Haiti, and Slanina will do five. They’ll head to Haiti in October. But not before they’ve raised money to help with their trip. Each of their trips will run up roughly $2,400 to $4,000. That’s dependant on how long the trip is and how much they bring with them as far as medical supplies. The two are looking for help to get them on their way. The easiest way to donate is to give money to a special account at the Envision Credit Union. People can ask to donate to the Hope and Amanda Haiti Fund, and tax receipts can be given for donations over $20. Bechard said she’ll also collect people’s empties as well. E-mail her at hbechard@handsupforhaiti.org to arrange that. “To me, Haiti is not

what is portrayed in the media,” said Bechard. “Haiti is mountains and it’s beautiful ocean waters and the people there are some of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. They’re very resilient.” She added, “It’s one of those places where I fly in...[and] you get this great feeling. It’s like my second home.” For Slanina, this trip is one she said her father always had wanted to take so she couldn’t say no. “I’ve wanted to do something like this, and now the opportunity came up. And there is huge need there.”

Province provides aboriginal training funds By Martina Perry THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT The provincial government will provide more than $4 million to prepare Aboriginal learners for future industry jobs. “Today’s Aboriginal youth will make up a key part of tomorrow’s work force and play a vital role in B.C.’s future economic development. Participation by aboriginal people in skills training programs will help build a brighter future and stronger British Columbia for us all,” said B.C. Minister of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation John Rustad. The funding, which Rustad announced during the National Aboriginal Business Opportunities Conference in Prince Rupert last Wednesday, will go toward the B.C. Skills for Jobs Blueprint. “We want Aboriginal people to be part of the local, skilled labour force when it comes to fulfilling the millions of job openings ex-
pected by 2022. B.C.’s Blueprint includes funding for community-based delivery of training to ensure that aboriginal people are positioned to take advantage of those job openings,” said Rustad. This year $4.4 million in funding will support the Aboriginal Community-Based Delivery Partnerships Program, which will provide post-secondary education and training for aboriginal learners in their communities. “These training programs include a diverse range of specializations from skills training for employment in liquefied natural gas to the resource sector, eco-tourism, fish and wildlife management, and training to teach indigenous languages,” explained Rustad, who also said the goal of developing B.C.’s LNG industry is to create thousands of new jobs. “Those jobs do not exist today, but the creation of that will truly be able to change the face of ... the entire

region, especially for First Nation communities,” he said. By the provincial government listening and taking into account the interests of all communities in B.C., Rustad said First Nations,
industry and government can move forward with projects together. “We can forge the kind of positive partnerships that will make our province, and other countries around the world, sit up and
take notice. They’ll realize that British Columbia is inclusive and forward-thinking and as a result the B.C. LNG marketplace is where they will want to do business,” he said.

Veijo Olavi M Monto
It is with a heavy heart that we must announce that Veijo Olavi Monto, 71, of Kitimat, BC, passed away at Kitimat General Hospital on April 22nd, 2014. For ten months, he fiercely battled pancreatic cancer and maintained an astounding level of optimism until the very end. He was preceded in death by his parents, Niilo and Bertta, and brother-in-law Matti, and is survived by his wife Kaija, son Jukka (Tania), daughter Christa (Stephano), as well as family in Finland and Germany. Veijo’s enormous personality, wealth of knowledge and friendly smile will be sorely missed by all of his family and friends. The family would like to thank all the doctors who helped him in his battle along the way. They would like to especially thank the nurses who not only helped Veijo through the last difficult moments in his battle, but also supported the family in those final days. Further, the family would like to extend their gratitude to all the friends, members of Kitimat’s Finnish-Canadian community and close neighbours who have been a source of great comfort throughout this difficult time. A memorial service was held at the Kitimat Redeemer Lutheran Kitimat on April 29th, 2014. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the National Pancreatic Cancer Canada Foundation.

Usk memorial pays tribute to fallen forest industry workers
USK - Close to 200 people gathered April 27, 2014 at Usk to take part in the dedication of a memorial to those killed while working in the region’s forest industry. The loggers’ memorial, made up of one large boulder placed on top of another and resting on a concrete pad, was the idea of Usk resident Bill McRae Jr. who quickly began receiving offers of assistance. A brass plaque affixed to the bottom boulder reads “In memory of the men who lost their lives working in the forest industry” and a list of names at the memorial was added to by members of the audience as the afternoon went on. “We’re thankful for this idea Bill had in his heart for this memorial,” said Pastor Joel Ringma of the Christian Reformed Church, who conducted a short service. “We celebrate their lives and we remember their death,” said Ringma of the reasoning behind the memorial, which is believed to be the first in the province. Ringma read a passage from Romans Chapter 8: “For we are sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor demons, nor the present, nor the future, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” He then led the audience in the Lord’s Prayer before asking for a minute’s silence. A dedication was read by retired insurance agent Frank Donahue and Terrace city councillor Lynne Christiansen read a message from mayor Dave Pernarowski. Just behind the memorial is a more personal one created by McRae – a crosscut saw and two hard hats nailed to a large tree. A highlight of the afternoon was the unveiling of a larger-than life depiction of a logger, complete with high-topped boots, created out of a cedar log by local chainsaw carver J.J. Jung. Jung said he spent approximately two weeks working on the carving. It’ll be placed close by the memorial.

Backbone of the area By Frank Donahue THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
USK - Just what is a memorial? We will define it as a lasting symbol of remembrance and tribute to lives ended by those who provided value to friends, neighbours, family and country. And that’s what we’ve gathered here to accomplish. This memorial is also a tribute to those men who survived, having the courage to carry on the work within days of losing a co-worker and friend – knowing there would be a funeral within days. A tribute to the women who prepared lunchbuckets – sending their men off to the bush most often with silent prayers for their safe return. These women became the backbone of the household – handling many daily chores, the finances, family discipline, and this applied
to those widows whose men would never return. There’s the story of a young woman who, while washing her husband’s bush gear, takes in the smells of woods, and remembers her own dad. There are many names once so familiar with the bush – Hobenshields, Adams, Little, Sarich, Long, Houlden, Jackson, Skoglund, and McRae. These were followed by Munson, Elsworth, Hull, Cutler, Almgren, Wood, Takhar, Penner and so many others – even Martin and Ryan – to more current Lax Kw’alaams and Hoi Choi. Yes these were the captains of industry – but check these names and they are among the community builders we respect today. Of course, there are so many others who supported the logging industry and made similar contributions to our prosperity and develop-
ment, but we don’t pay sufficient homage to our loggers. And therefore this loggers’ memorial is long overdue. Logging built our roads, schools, public buildings, paid for the infrastructure that allowed our homes and businesses to become reality. Logging provided food on our table, clothes on our back and shelter from the elements. We are the product of a logging community. If you’ve spent time in the northwest, you’ve been touched by logging. Families of the fallen have not forgotten – nor should we. Frank Donahue is a retired insurance agent who spent years providing insurance and others services to forest industry workers. He provided this tribute at the Usk loggers’ memorial dedication April 27, 2014.

Depleted Rainmakers derailed in Smithers By Kevin Campbell THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT - Coach Kyla Ragan carried less players than she would have liked for the Charles Hays’ girls soccer team’s trip to Smithers, so she told her players they weren’t allowed to get injured. While most heard the message, poor Harjot Sidhu suffered a head injury, but played through the pain in a dazzling performance in goal for the Rainmakers. In both matches with no substitutions, the team played an “intense” weekend, said Ragan, and both Sidhu and striker Tanveen Sahdra led the way. Sahdra notched a goal versus Terrace in the club’s first game versus their out-oftown rivals and Charlotte Kobza rounded out the scoring in a 4-2 loss. Later, the club fell to Kitimat 3-0, in a rematch of the Rainmakers’ first game of the season against the black-clad group. “The girls were tired, but
they fought hard and played amazing,” said Ragan. Kobza’s goal continued her torrid scoring streak from the week before, where she notched a brace against the Queen Charlotte Saints. Ragan estimated that Sidhu stopped 30 to 40 shots during the team’s two matches and deserves full credit for her part in the games, despite the head injury. “She did an amazing job in both games,” said the coach. Ragan has received a positive response from the team and their cohesiveness has improved dramatically since the start of the season just three short weeks ago. The group practiced corner-kicks last week leading up to their matches and they’ll scrimmage more this week. A bottle drive was hosted on Tuesday and they’re selling chocolate to fundraise in preparation for their trip to zones where they will face off against their northwest competitors on Friday and Saturday in Kitimat.
Kitimat Marlins hold their own in Prince George Contributed
THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
KITIMAT - The Kitimat Marlins had 23 swimmers attend the annual Prince George Long Course (50 meter pool) invitational swim meet. Competition was extremely tough with 300 swimmers in attendance from Prince George, Chetwyn, Tumbler Ridge, Fort St. John, Grand Prairie, Kamloops, Quesnel, Williams Lake, Smithers, Terrace and Prince Rupert also in attendance. The Marlins held their own though and competed well. Alivia Soares (13) had a great meet and took the gold medal for overall points in the 12-13 year old girl division. Brander Pacheco (15) also had an excellent swim meet and took the silver medal for overall points in the 14
-15 boys division. Laurence Boucher (13) achieved her first AA Provincial qualifying standard in 50 meter freestyle while leading off the team relay. If she qualifies for one more swim event she will be eligible to compete at the AA Provincial Championships (long course) in Victoria late June. Annika Desousa (9) had the largest one swim improvement for the Marlins, a 43 second improvement in the 100 meter freestyle. And accomplishing the tough task of swimming long course personal best times in all their events were Charlotte Collier (11), Annika Desousa (9), Leah Desousa (11), Hayden Dobbin (14), Zachary Dumas (14), Gabriel Lamarre (12), Hannah Pearson (11), Olivia Pearson (9), Nolan Striker (13), Ethan Velho (13), Kemper Weightman (9) and Morgan Winterburn (13).

TERRACE - Terrace’s Joe Pelletier posted a strong showing at the Vancouver Sun Run April 27, leading the pack of the nearly 100 northwest residents who ran in the annual 10 kilometre road race with his finishing time of 43:37. Of the over 40,000 participants, Pelletier placed 946 overall and, throughout the process of training, raised nearly $1,200 for Parkinson’s research as part of “Team Fox”. From Terrace, 43 people made the trip down south for the run, including veteran runner Ed Amsems who placed second in his age category and 1004 overall with a time of 43:49.

Over the last decade we have been carefully planning this project. It is the most advanced pipeline proposal under consideration that is responding to these challenges. The project has undergone the intense scrutiny of the Joint Review Panel of the National Energy Board–the most extensive scientific review of its kind in Canadian history–and received its endorsement for approval. By moving ahead, Northern Gateway will safely open new markets for Canadian oil much sooner than any other project under consideration. While this provides a huge economic benefit for Canadians, it is not the only opportunity Northern Gateway has to offer.
N E L N

H
Most important, no matter what product we are moving, Northern Gateway will always ensure that ours is a safer, better project. That’s because Northern Gateway is already incorporating numerous measures specifically designed for British Columbia’s environment and landscape, and is already setting a new standard in Canada for safety and environmental responsibility. For example, every tanker carrying Canadian oil to new markets will be double-hulled and guided to open ocean by B.C. coast pilots. All loaded tankers will be escorted by two tugs, and every tanker coming into our terminal will be fully vetted for safety. At Northern Gateway we are working every day to build a project that will serve our country for generations to come. That passionate commitment is at the heart of our proposal. It drives us in everything we do. It has resulted in a project that measures up to its original promise of a safer, better pipeline that benefits every British Columbian and every Canadian.
Escort tugs will respond immediately in the case of an emergency, and one of the two escort tugs will be tethered at all times.

This is the main reason why Northern Gateway is urgently needed. Northern Gateway will open new markets for Canadian oil in Asia, creating thousands of good-paying jobs in British Columbia and generating much-needed revenues for taxpayers.
All tankers calling on our terminal must be vetted by a third-party prior to leaving their port of origin.

Canada has vast oil reserves that have the power to ensure jobs and other economic benefits for generations of British Columbians and Canadians. But this resource is only going to one market–the United States–meaning Canadians are losing out on hundreds of millions of dollars.

If, in the years ahead, a new refinery is built in Kitimat that offers the same benefits as international markets, Northern Gateway will be able to deliver product for that as well. Or, if a facility is built in Alberta, Northern Gateway will be able to move refined product to new markets. In fact, Northern Gateway can provide a safe means of transport from Alberta to Kitimat for oil wherever it is needed most, at home or abroad, always ensuring that Canadians get the value we rightly expect from our most valuable commodity.
