New IMAGINE: Legacy Grants now available For the sixth year in a row, Northern Health is looking for community partners who have great ideas for a health promotion project that will help improve the health and well-being of those living, working, learning and playing in northern B.C. With the 2015 Canada Winter Games nearing and creating excitement across the north, we want to encourage people to submit health promotion projects that will play a role in increasing physical activity and creating long-lasting legacies across northern BC for healthier communities. From February 13 to March 1, 2015, Prince George and Northern British Columbia will be host to the 2015 Canada Winter Games. Northern BC communities are presented with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to leverage the positive impact of the Games in fostering a sustainable legacy of increased health and wellness for northern communities and their residents that lasts beyond the twoweek event.

schools, organizations and individuals of all ages to take action towards efforts to improve health through physical activity. “The 2015 Canada Winter Games are fostering an exciting opportunity to promote the importance of physical activity, not only in sport, but in health and well-being,” says Kelsey Yarmish, Regional Manager, Population Health. “We know that health happens in the community so to combine the excitement of the Games with our IMAGINE grants is a really great opportunity for us. We want groups in northern communities to think about how they can leverage the Games, and all that they bring, to create sustainable projects around physical activity that will help make their community healthier.” Northern Health aligns the grants to showcase our community health philosophy that health happens in the community and prevention is everyone’s responsibility. The IMAGINE grants build on the work of Northern Health’s posi-

Fort St. James rugby team play Burns Lake Lakes District News
For the first time ever, rugby is being played in Burns Lake, as the LDSS fields a boys rugby team. The team began its inaugural campaign this April, and played only its second home game ever last Thursday night against Fort St. James. The idea for a rugby team came to life last year when now head coach and LDSS teacher, Jeremy Gooding started a rugby club at the high school. The idea was well received by students, where 12 began to show up regularly, and many of whom had never played high school sports before, and before long a decision was made to form a team for the upcoming season. Initially, Gooding held practices in the school gymnasium where he taught his players the game and basic skills, such as, passing, rucking and perhaps most importantly, he taught them proper tackling technique. Being situated in a Northern community, the team has been at a small disadvantage in that they’re only able to use the outdoor field for a small portion of the season, yet that didn’t stop the team from taking shape. After getting down the core skills the team started to play in exhibition games. During these games Gooding let each player play in each position to get a feel of where each would be most comfortable, it has led to Burns Lake having a solid starting lineup, and team, even though most lack experience playing the game. He also isn’t bothered by the lack of experience, he has been impressed with how his team has committed to learning the new game, as well as how they have presented themselves both on and off the field. “I took them down to play a AAA team in Kelowna, and they beat us around 50-0,” Gooding said, “but our boys had such a fun time, and they learned that rugby is more than just what’s on the field.” That is what Gooding, a former player himself in high school in Kelowna and in college, hopes is players take home, that rugby is about sportsmanship and family. He says that once you’ve played rugby you become a part of the rugby family. In total, 56 players have tried the sport, and the final squad this season has 32 players on it, comprising students from Grades 8-12. A common misconception about rugby, Gooding says, is that it’s a sport that injures players frequently. Gooding says that although rugby is a rough sport, he says there are less injuries than in soccer, hockey and football. The respect factor is huge, especially since rugby

players wear little to no protective equipment. Players are taught to properly tackling, where to place their head while tackling to avoid neck injuries, and they must make an attempt to wrap the player. Gooding says a rugby tackle is more like a player trying to wrestle another player to the ground, rather than trying to lay him out with a hit. The support from the community and school has be enormous for the team. Spectators have come out in larger numbers for the first two home games of the season, and the high school funded the purchase of brand new uniforms for the team. The team hopes to payback this support by continuing to play with class and sportsmanship. The biggest thing Gooding has been teaching his players is why they should be playing rugby. “You play rugby for the enjoyment and fun of the sport and to improve your personal skills and play to the best of your abilities,” Gooding says. A further example of rugby’s camaraderie, Gooding says, is the tournament in Vanderhoof at the end of the month where all the teams will camp out together, getting a chance to meet players on other teams. “It’s not about winning,” Gooding said, “it’s about camaraderie and competing and having fun.”
The LDSS boys rugby team competes against the boys rugby team from Fort St. James Thursday, May 8. The team tied 12-12 in what was only its second home game of the season.

“Our project will add over $4 billion into the B.C. economy. Think of what that will mean for our schools, hospitals and social programs.” - Janet Holder, Leader of Northern Gateway
Janet Holder:
Partnering in the Project’s prosperity
Janet Holder is responsible for the overall leadership of the Northern Gateway Project. With over 20 years of experience in the energy sector, she has held a variety of senior and executive roles in liquids pipelines, energy efficiency and energy distribution. As a proud British Columbian, Janet works hard to ensure Northern Gateway will be a safer, better pipeline with lasting benefits for B.C.
Ensuring that the economic benefits of the Project are also shared with Aboriginal communities is hugely important to us. In discussions with First Nations and Métis communities, we have offered a 10% equity stake in the pipeline. Additionally, there will be an estimated $300 million in Aboriginal employment and contracts, plus related economic activity, adding up to nearly $1 billion in total long-term benefits for First Nations and Métis communities and businesses.
Over the past several months, I have shared our priority to ensure we protect what matters most to all of us — our beautiful coastline and environment. Our world-class safety and response measures are vital for the approval and success of the Northern Gateway Project — a project that will pave the way for significant economic benefits to help us build a stronger future for B.C. A long-term revenue stream We estimate that over the next 30 years, our project will add over $4 billion into the B.C. economy. Think of what that will mean for our schools, hospitals and social programs. Increased long-term revenue for these programs and services will ensure our standard of living is not just maintained, but enhanced for years to come. A boost for Northern communities The B.C. economy will benefit from salaries, contracts and goods and services directly related to the Project. During the construction phase alone, Northern B.C. businesses will benefit from over $800 million spent locally on goods and services like transportation, equipment, food and hospitality.
Learn more at gatewayfacts.ca
Jobs and opportunities for families To build this Project, we will create employment that will especially benefit communities along the pipeline’s route. In fact, we are already helping to connect local residents to future employment and business opportunities, and offering education and skills development. There will be 560 long-term jobs created in B.C., and our plans call for the hiring of 3,000 construction workers. These jobs will create new sources of income for the workers’ home communities. It is expected that each year $32 million in income will be earned, which will have a profound and lasting impact on B.C. families. An investment in the future while protecting what matters to us most As a proud British Columbian who was born and raised here, I am motivated every day to ensure these economic benefits never come at the expense of our incredible environment. Let me assure you that my team and I are working hard to meet all of the 209 conditions for Project approval set out by the Joint Review Panel, to ensure we build not only a safer, better pipeline, but a stronger, better B.C.
Working in partnership with B.C. and Alberta First Nations and Métis Communities, and leading energy companies in Canada

Grade 12 Luncheon at FSJSS It’s a new tradition at FSJSS – grade level luncheons for students and staff. The intent is, “to build community,” says principal Craig Houghton. It also provides a chance to, “get together in a different setting,” and interact with each other while sharing a meal, says Dave Stainton – teacher and luncheon chef. The result is staff and students
celebrating each other: laughing, teasing, reminiscing, conversing and bonding – all over a meal prepared by Mr. Stainton and his team of volunteers. A new focus for FSJSS, led by our administration and staff in the 2013/2014 school year. A focus we hope will become an entrenched part of our school culture for many years to come.
We Want to Hear from You. Join the BC Environmental Assessment Office Open House.
For 57 years, Spectra Energy has been a proud part of communities across B.C. We would like to let you know that the BC Environmental Assessment Office is hosting an Open House in Fort St. James regarding Spectra Energy’s proposed Westcoast Connector Gas Transmission Project. Dave Stainton - teacher and cook.

Beekeeping celebrates 156 years May 29, was declared the Day of the Honey Bee in B.C. by Minister of Agriculture Norm Letnick, to recognize and celebrate how beekeeping in B.C. has grown from May 1858 when two hives arrived in Victoria Harbour into an industry that has a $250-million-a-year agricultural impact today. There are more than 2,300 beekeepers throughout B.C. operating as a hobby, part-, or full time business with about 47,000 colonies, and as many as two billion bees. Bees play a key role on B.C.’s fruit, berry, and canola farms, with approximately $250 million in agricultural production dependent on honey bee pollination every year. Crop pollination by honey bees supports agricultural production in Canada worth over $1.5 billion per year, and $14 billion per year in the U.S.A. B.C. also produces about $10 million worth of honey and other hive products a year. Different flavours of honey can be produced depending on the crops or flowers the bees pollinate. Clover, wildflower, fireweed, berry are all common light-coloured honeys, while buckwheat honey is darker-toned, and has a more intense flavour. The Day of the Honey Bee recognizes the importance honey bees play in human survival and daily life, and the partnership between the province and B.C. beekeepers to improve agricultural production, and monitor and maintain bee health. Communities across Canada celebrate May 29 as Day of the Honey Bee to honour New Zealand beekeeper and mountaineer Sir Edmund Hilary
ascent of the summit of Mount Everest on that day in 1953. Minister of Agriculture Norm Letnick states,“The Day of the Honey Bee is a great reminder to people to appreciate how much bees contribute to our daily lives, our economy, and our food supply. The B.C. government is proud of the partnership the Ministry of Agriculture and bee keepers have developed over the years, the support our Animal Health Lab and apiarists provide to bee keepers large and small, and the quarter-billion-dollars in agricultural production that results from honey bee pollination in B.C. each year.”
