SPIRALLING COSTS have forced the city to scale back the work needed to preserve its aquatic centre. A first cost estimate of $310,500 to, among other items, stabilize the centre’s crumbling west wall, paled when two bids for the work came in at more than $600,000 each, city council learned at its June 9 meeting. “Sorry I don’t have better news,” leisure services director Carmen Didier told council as she explained why the estimated price tag had doubled since last fall. “It is what it is,” said mayor Dave Pernarowski, who along with the rest of council carried a motion to proceed with a revised project plan. Back in 2012 Bruce Carscadden Architects Inc. prepared a 86-page report commissioned by the city that outlined various ideas and cost estimates that originally included a glass wall and a waterside. Because of budgetary concerns the city elected last fall to proceed with only basic upgrades. This was to include rebuilding the west wall, painting the interior of the existing centre, as well as improvements to mechanical, heating, ventilation and power distribution, at the estimated cost of $310,500. “So that was considerably higher than what we had budgeted for because when we estimated the cost of the west wall we based the rebuild on what we did on the east wall,” said Didier. “The new present day-building codes meant we also add columns,” said Didier in further explaining the high cost of the work now needed on the structure. The additional work includes replacing structural support beams. Didier consequently had the building plan revised with the downscaled vision at a final cost of $410,000.

Thornhill location picked for hotel By JOSH MASSEY A NEW hotel in lower Thornhill is in the works for a 93-room operation located off of Hwy 16 between Desjardins Ave. and River Drive. The hotel will be part of the Holiday Inn Express chain and a numbered company from the lower mainland that will own the development has applied for a rezoning and a variance permit through the Regional District of Kitmat-Stikine (RDKS). “They’re built with the

traveller in mind,” said RDKS director for the Thornhill area Ted Ramsey. “They’ll have a shuttle out to the airport, that kind of thing.” The rezone will switch the usage of part of the land owned by the company from their current light industrial designation to commercial in order to allow for the development. A public hearing happened yesterday in which the public could comment on the proposed zone change. The variance permit will

allow for the height extension proposed by the Holiday Inn developers who want to exceed the current limit of three storeys in a commercial zone. The requested height is 15.35 metres, which is 3.35 metres higher than the current bylaw maximum of 12 metres. “Higher isn’t a big deal. I would rather see it higher than wider,” said Ramsey. This new development joins a number of other hotels at various stages of planning and development in

Terrace. Already under construction is Smithers-based developer Kim Tran’s Sunshine Inn off Hwy16 beside Kalum Tire in Terrace. And Calgary-based Superior Lodging Co-op is planning to build a 100-room hotel on the former Terrace Co-op lands on Greig Ave. Superior has a deal to buy the land from the city when environmental work is completed. Another numbered company is looking to develop a 80-90 room hotel on lots beside Canadian Tire on

Hyw16 and Pomeroy Lodging is another company that wants to break into the Terrace hotel market after announcing its intention to purchases the Chances Terrace gaming centre. Ramsey said he wouldn’t be surprised if the Holiday Inn Express is the first of several hotels destined for Thornhill. “It’s the start of more than one going in I think, it’s just the start of it,” he said. “Thornhill is changing rapidly. You hear about more hotels going in.”

With new business coming to Terrace’s neighbouring community, Ramsey said impetus is growing for a much-needed sewer line in lower Thornhill and that the regional district is looking for ways to tackle the $3.5 million cost. “The plan has always been to put a sewer line in,” said Ramsey. “The next stage is to link a commercial core into a new line.” The company owns other hotels in the north, according to its application to the regional district.

Bear feeding fine issued

CONSERVATION OFFICERS have charged one individual with feeding a Kermode bear at the side of the highway near Cedarvale. The charge, issued as a ticket under the Wildlife Act last month, is also meant as a warning to people that they should not be feeding wild animals, says Terrace conservation officer Gareth Scrivner. “There’s no reason for people to feed him. He’s in a wild habitat at that location, there’s nothing around and feeding him could lead to a potentially dangerous situation,” said Scrivner. “It’s important we leave him in his environment as best we can.” The male Kermode has been making regular appearances at the side of Hwy16 for a number of years. Off-white and fairly rare, Kermode bears often draw a crowd when they appear at the side of highways or in more populated areas. The problem is that when people stop to take pictures of the Kermode, a crowd can gather and some may then want to feed the animal, said Scrivner. “What happens is you can have a line of people taking pictures, then some will begin to circle the bear and that means he has no way of escape. And that’s when it can become dangerous,” he said. Scrivner said the person charged was identified through several means, including monitoring social media. “This is the first time we’ve done that here,” said Scrivner of using social media to identify people for charging. The section of the Wildlife Act pertaining to feeding wild animals carries a fine of $350. People who observe others feeding wild animals can call the provincial reporting line at 1-877-9527277.

HEALTHCARE AND med students from Prince George enjoyed a sunny lunch at Heritage Park June 11 as they toured the area. That’s Sean Maurice from the UNBC Northern Medical Program speaking to the group.

Med students welcomed here THE AREA opened its doors wide last week to a group of med students and others in the healthcare field in hopes they’ll consider the area a place in which to study and eventually work. Called the Travelling Health Care Road Show and organized through UNBC’s Northern Medical Program, the group also gave pre-

sentations to students at Skeena Middle School. Led by Sean Maurice on behalf of the program, the 14 students were introduced to staff at Mills Memorial Hospital and toured Terraceview Lodge. “[The goal is] to get healthcare students in Prince George out into smaller towns to help inspire kids to consider going into these health

care careers. It was also designed to allow communities to showcase the benefits of rural life and practice and to have an interdisciplinary group of healthcare students work together,” said Maurice. “The research tells us there are more barriers to going into healthcare professions in a small town because the system might not value

the type of life experiences that people have coming from small towns and being further away is also a barrier to attending training, but research tells us that those people are more likely to come back,” he said. “We would rather have wilderness at our doorstep then good shopping,” Maurice said of his own choice to re-

locate from Vancouver to Prince George. Students at Skeena Middle School were exposed to various stations helmed by the visiting students including an X-ray collection and X-ray box, skeleton, and blood pressure gauge so that allow students to take each other’s blood pressure. The group also toured the Nass Valley.

One time correctional centre now security companies’ base By ANNA KILLEN A BUILDING with an interesting history is getting a new lease on life as an accommodation and training facility for security workers and executives. The former provincial government community correctional facility located in the Keith Ave. industrial area on the south side has been purchased and renovated by local company First Line Security in partnership with Vancouver-based Securiguard. “You know what they say, if you can’t beat them, join them,” said Securiguard president and CEO Darcy Kernaghan, speaking at the facility’s grand opening of the company’s partnership May 29. Securiguard had been looking to break into the Terrace market for a while in anticipation of more work based on the region’s potential as a base for the liquefied natural gas industry and other developments. It then realized that area companies were loyal to local security company First Line, which is headed by Dave Moulton. What followed were talks to expand the brands and form a partnership that would combine Securiguard’s high-tech know-how and equipment with First Line’s local knowledge. It was a win-win for both companies, Kernaghan and Moulton confirmed. “Our values really line up,” said Kernaghan, noting that investing in the commu-

SECURIGUARD PRESIDENT and CEO Darcy Kernaghan, left, with First Line Security head Dave Moulton. They’re in the kitchen of one of the units at the companies’ security base on the south side of Terrace. nity is a top priority for both companies. The 10,000 square foot building includes a large industrial use kitchen, meeting rooms, and offices. “Everything is super heavy duty,” said Kernaghan. To start, there will be about three people working in the office everyday, Kernaghan said, and the grounds will be well used as an executive and training facility. The building’s extensive

living quarters, which will be used as temporary housing for security workers as well as corporate clients and executives, include bachelor and apartment-style rooms that can accommodate 24, some with separate entrances and decks. The facility will also be used to train the company’s canine units, he said. Purchasing the building was a no-brainer, said Kernaghan. “Housing is so difficult,” he said, noting that as the de-

mand for the company’s services on industrial projects in the area continue to grow, they realized they needed to find a solution. And they’re hoping to increase the capacity of the building on a temporary basis. The company is asking the city to consider a zoning amendment so it could provide temporary lodging for up to 180 people. The proposal is still in the development stages, with council referring it to the de-

velopment services department for further discussion. The facility was built in the 1990s by the provincial government to serve as a regional community correctional centre, housing people for short terms who weren’t considered a risk to the community. It also acted as the central office for people who were sentenced to serve their time in the community but who then had to wear electronic monitoring devices. The facility was closed as

a cost-saving measure shortly after the provincial Liberals were elected to form the government in 2001. It was then purchased by the Muks-Kum-Ol Housing Society in an attempt to set up a housing and mentoring place for young aboriginal people. That effort ultimately failed but not before the society added a small wing as a residence for aboriginal elders who would act as a stabilizing force for young people.

Graham Ave. rebuild set for Sept. completion LAST YEAR’S super-size roads project was the overhaul of McConnell Ave. in the Horseshoe. This year it’s the Graham Ave. rebuild on the south side which is now underway for completion by early September. The Graham project bids did come in over budget as did McConnell last year, however by a significantly smaller margin because of a more competitive bidding pool. Director of public works Rob Schibli told city council in a report that he was happy to have received three bids on the project. Council accepted the recommendation to award the contract to the lowest bidder, which was Bear Creek Contracting at $1,474,099.75. This was $50,000 more than the city had provided in their preliminary budget for the project, but was much tighter that the McConnell Ave. project which last year ballooned in cost by several hundred thousand dollars. The other two bids came in from Billa-

bong Road and Bridge Maintenance for $1,558,815 and from BEL Contracting Ltd. for $1,729,720. The total Graham Ave. cost is projected at $1,923,000. That figure includes the bid contract as well as city works costs and materials, paving and a five per cent contingency and engineering costs. The city will be also installing water and sewer laterals to be used if future properties are subdivided along Graham Ave. These are going to be installed on the south side of Graham Ave. east of Eby St. at a cost of $50,000, said Schibli. The repave is a 840 metre stretch of Graham Ave. from Eby St. to Kalum St. It is full road construction which includes “base gravels, new water mains and services, storm drainage mains and catch basins, road and sidewalk paving,” said Schibli. Graham Ave. serves as the major eastwest route on the south side.

f the city of Terrace were ever to create a separate real estate group to manage its land holdings, it might be one of the busiest businesses around. From the several thousand acres making up the Skeena Industrial Development Park to the log building on Keith Ave. purchased earlier this year from the Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce, the city has a wide portfolio of real estate. Riding on the wave of an improved economy, the city hasn’t shied from signing deals when the sale fits the community’s need for affordable housing or its interest in developing an industrial tax base. Over the past 14 months the city has either concluded or has pending six land sales marked up under its corporate lands account and land acquisition fund. The first sale was worth $877,000 for a large portion of the former Terrace Coop property on Greig Ave. to Calgary-based Superior Lodgings. The property was bought by the city for $1 million in 2005 using money from the lands account with the goal of being able to influence downtown development. Superior wants to build a large hotel on the site but no money has changed hands and none will until the land receives environmental clearance from the provincial government. Later that summer the city did conclude a sale – 4.38 hectares at the Skeena Industrial Development Park to an earthworks company called Global Dewatering for $250,000. And earlier this year the city sold 66.7 hectares of industrial park land to the Kitselas First Nation’s Kitselas Development Corporation for $1,647,700. Not content to rest with that, the city is now pursuing Chinese manufacturing investors to buy land at the park with sales that could be worth tens of millions. And in the Keith Ave. light industrial area, the city struck a deal this year to sell just under five acres on the corner of Kenney St. and Keith Ave. to the company that owns the local Chrysler, Toyota and trailer dealerships for the expansion of its current sales lot on Hwy16.

Small town has become a major land broker By JOSH MASSEY

That deal is worth $1 million. Still on Kenney St., this time north across Hwy16 in the Horseshoe residential area, the city has a $951,000 deal to sell approximately 2.5 acres on the corner of that street and Park Ave. to Coast-to-Coast Holdings of Calgary. That company wants to build 105 housing units and has committed to an affordable housing component, but details of that have yet to be released. According to veteran city councillor Brian Downie, it is a mistake to view the selling of land as opportunistic. In fact, various policies aimed at enhancing housing options in Terrace are the main drivers of the recent activity. “Clearly the city is receiving value for the property, but you’re misreading things if you assume we are selling land just because the sale value of lands in the city are substantially increasing,” said Downie. He stresses that the land sales have everything to do with addressing the housing priorities outlined in various studies over the past years and very little to do with the accumulation of wealth on the part of the city.

Several of the recent land sales are acting on this policy, said Downie. Although not yet defined, an acceptable affordable housing component was a key feature in the city choosing Coast-to-Coast as the buyer of the property on Kenney St. and Park Ave. And part of the deal with the Kitselas Development Corporation at the industrial park calls for money to be placed in a new city account called an Affordable Housing Fund. But the city’s policy as described by its administration is also in direct response to the interest in the lands they have received during the period of economic activity in the area. Part of that policy is the creation of a new position of corporate lands manager and the appointment of Herb Dusdal to fill that position. Once the public works director, Dusdal has worked for the city for 20 years and is now a chief negotiator. Not easily given to interviews, Dusdal is very much low key in a position that is central to the city’s real estate portfolio. He was in China just last month with Mayor Dave Pernarowski and other local officials to work on the fine

print of the anticipated sale of as much as 1,000 acres of land at the industrial park. According to chief administrative officer Heather Avison, Dusdal has had his hands full with business activity that continues to fuel demand for Terrace property. “If anyone expresses an interest in the land they go talk to Herb and he will negotiate,” said Avison. “At some point it will come to council for the decision as to whether or not we will proceed with selling or not selling.” Avison cites the Coast-toCoast deal as an example of a sale driven by demand. “We had owned that piece of land for many years,” Avison said of the parcel which was once the location of a transportation ministry works yard. “The main reason we put out the notice of the intention to dispose was because Herb was being contacted regularly with various parties being interested in that land,” she said. The same was true for the land on the corner of Kenney St. and Keith Ave. purchased by Terrace Chrysler. “We weren’t actively selling that land,” said Avison. “They approached us,

and Herb started to talk to them to see what we could do.” Still within the city’s land inventory is property stretching west that once formed the log yard for the Skeena Cellulose sawmill which has since been dismantled. There’s also a parcel of just under an acre on Haugland Ave. on the southside that’s figured in debates surrounding affordable housing. “We don’t have it listed for sale but if someone else came forward with an interest we would look at it,” said Avison. Downie said the current market conditions eased the way for housing development deals. “In 2008 the investment opportunities for someone to come in and build a large apartment complex was not as attractive as it is now. And so the market has changed and clearly the issue for us is that we have zero rentals available and it’s causing hardships in the community. This is an opportunity for us and we need to find some answers,” he said. Despite the potential for millions to flow into the city’s land accounts, residents shouldn’t expect to see any of that in the form

of tax decreases. Apart from monies being set aside for whatever affordable housing plan the city develops, it has a larger commitment, said Avison. “When will the money start flowing into the community? The short answer, from land sales, is never,” said Avison. “It’s all going to be going back into recovering costs and developing the [industrial] park.” That’s because the city is committed to providing water, sewer and other services as part of its sales efforts at the park. City finance director Ron Bowles said that for a water system alone, $5,200 of each acre sold for the going rate of $10,000 is automatically put into a water reserve fund that will eventually be put toward hooking industry up to the municipal water supply. Where Terrace residents could see benefits is through taxation of the industries that set up in the industrial park. A policy adopted by city council last year would have it “review any new light or industrial tax revenues annually with a target to reduce business and residential property taxes.” But the city also has a long list of big ticket projects such an extensive renovation of the aquatic centre, the possibility of having to pay for the reclamation of the Co-op lands, a second vehicle overpass of the CN tracks and a pedestrian overpass. There isn’t a priority list of what project should be tackled first and a move to involve citizens in that debate was defeated earlier this year in a council session focusing on community engagement. “As far as other values that we received from the sale I think it’s safe to say it’s not something that has been resolved,” said Downie of how any new revenues might be handled. “It would be resolved through the budgeting process.” That’ll be the job of the next council. Whoever sits on city council following the November municipal elections will be faced with something few local elected bodies have ever dealt with – the prospect of making decisions with the financial means to back them up.

Mine deal THE deal reached between the Nisga’a Lisims Government and Avanti for the former to share in the revenue from the latter’s planned molybdenum mine at Kitsault on the north coast is another hurdle cleared for the region’s economic future. Avanti still has some heavy lifting to accomplish, chiefly lining up the final financing for its $1 billion mine plan, but it has accomplished the one thing absolutely necessary in today’s British Columbia – aboriginal acceptance of a project. Without aboriginal participation in one form or another, major economic projects in B.C. simply won’t happen. The deal also represents a crucial step for the Nisga’a and that’s taking part in wealth creation through revenue from the mine and for Nisga’a individuals, from employment at the project. This is year 14 of the Nisga’a Final Agreement signed in 2000 and the Nisga’a Lisims Government badly needed to demonstrate that it can do an economic deal. Next up for the Nisga’a is a conclusion of a deal being negotiated with the provincial government for a share of Avanti tax revenues, another vital step forward. With hundreds of construction jobs scheduled over a two-year mine development plan and hundreds of jobs to be filled for the planned 14year mine life, Nass Valley residents will have a solid and stable employment base.

There’s no Chevy like an old Chevy

oday’s TV ads boast vehicles that watch for hazards, brake on their own, and parallel park by themselves. Our family’s first truck, a 1936 quarter-ton Chev, did none of that though it had a mind of its own. Dad had once been approached by a cop as he stopped at the gas pump in front of our town’s general store.“Did you know your tail light isn’t working?” the Mountie asked, gentle as you please. Dad feigned surprise. “It was working when I left home.” We kids stayed silent. “Be sure to get that repaired,” the cop said. Dad allowed he would. And did. Many times. For even at his top speed of 25 miles per hour potholed roads periodically frayed wiring and detached retinas. Between repairs, the Chev ‘s firefly tail light restricted him to our property from sunset to sunrise like a criminal on probation, even though in the 1940s patrolling RCMP on Saskatchewan highways were as scarce as browsing buffalo.

THROUGH BIFOCALS

CLAUDETTE SANDECKI The truck’s previous owner had involved it in a highway ‘incident’ that left the driver’s door drooping like the wing of a grouse during its mating ritual with a window crank that didn’t, and teenage brakes that worked only if they chose. If the brakes failed unexpectedly to restore sufficient pressure in the brake line to at least slow, he madly pumped the pedal like Buster Keaton propelling the jigger in “The Railroader”. He carried a quart of brake fluid behind the seat just in case. To keep his driver door closed, Dad steered with his

right hand, left elbow hugging the door to him like a matron clutching her purse in a smorgasbord line. The cardboard headliner, originally snug to the convex curves of the cab, sagged over the driver affording storage space for Dad’s work gloves and inches of road silt. Bumping over a badger hole in the cow pasture halted you until visibility returned and choking subsided. The bench seat’s ‘oilcloth’ cover wore away, replaced with a tanned calf hide. Cotton padding sloughed off, and coil springs insinuated their way up through the sisal and burlap until sharp snapped ends waited to skewer you like a kabob. The floorboards, too, wore out. A gaping gash developed beside the gearshift, air conditioning the cab and entertaining us as we watched road zip by underneath. The middle passenger – often the smallest in the cab – sat twisted sideways so knees didn’t obstruct the gearshift, feet braced on either side of the gap to hike you back on the slippery calfskin. Under the hood dwelt a distributor touchier than a

mother-in-law. I was a teenager before I learned some automobiles drove through puddles and kept on going. Our Chev’s motor would stall coasting over dew-drenched pasture. Before the engine would snort the distributor had to be thoroughly dried with a cotton handkerchief. To cope with a horn that wouldn’t cease sounding once activated owing to the collapsible rubber part becoming too old and dry to release, Dad stowed the horn in the glove compartment. Designed to perch in the centre of the steering wheel, two wire prongs protruded from the horn’s underside and dropped into corresponding holes in the steering column. When a toot was called for, Dad reached across, popped the lock on the glove compartment, snatched the horn, and fitted it into the steering column, all while watching the road, more or less. Tooting over, he chucked the horn back into the glove compartment . Today’s cars offer every push-button comfort and convenience but lack the personality of that green truck on which all of us learned to drive a stick shift.

The Mail Bag What about schools?

Act now to respect dairy cows Dear Sir: The videos and news reports on the physical abuse and terrorizing of dairy cows on B.C.’s largest dairy farm was so sickening that I called the BC SPCA to find out what an ordinary person can do to prevent such things from happening to the animals that provide our food. I wasn’t surprised but I was disappointed

to read on their website that the Canadian Codes of Practice for the care and handling of farm animals have yet to be adopted into B.C. law as they have in some other provinces. Animal protection legislation in Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Newfoundland, New Brunswick and PEI has adopted the national Codes of Practice for farm animals to define

minimum acceptable standards in those provinces. To get them adopted here in B.C. each of us can do one simple thing. And that is to contact our MLA, Robin Austin, at robin.austin. mla@leg.bc.ca to ask for the Canadian Code of Practice for the Care and Handling of Farm Animals to be incorporated into B.C. legisla-

tion. That’s it. That’s all you have to do. Having this Canadian Code of Practice incorporated into legislation means that the code can then be used to determine what constitutes “reasonable and generally accepted practices” in investigations launched under B.C.’s Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act. Like me you prob-

ably thought that such a thing was already in place, but no. It’s going to take an email or a tweet on everyone’s part to put such a basic code of practice into the legal system. So put down the newspaper and do it right now so you don’t forget. So simple to do but so important in the grand scheme of things.

Dear Sir: I used to believe that then-Natural Resource minister Joe Oliver held an invincible claim to Supreme Hypocrite of Canada for proclaiming that anyone who opposed the Northern Gateway project had to be pocketing money from unscrupulous foreign interests, while those underwriting said project were as Truly Canadian as genuine artificial maple syrup flavouring. I was wrong; I clearly underestimated the venality of our present provincial administration. The provincial Liberals say they “can’t possibly squeeze another dime out of the budget for our public school budgets”. But if Premier Pixie needs some props for a photo shoot in Vancouver, suddenly there’s $80,000 dollars in spare change in the coffers to ship 100 students from the North to an industry/regulator schmooz-fest in Vancouver. Suddenly there are photos of Queen Chrissy and The Kids splashed all over the papers like guts on an abattoir’s walls. But public school Special Ed instructors? Librarians? School music programmes? Clearly, the Rest Of Us will need to adjust our pathetically unpatriotic priorities. John How, Terrace, BC

Stinky garbage Dear Sir: Having the city changing its garbage pick up to biweekly sucks. It is still at two cans with twice the amount of garbage. There was no consideration taken about wild animals who will now be smelling extra stinky garbage as it sits and rots in the summer heat. Sherry Chilibeck, Terrace, BC

Mining is an important part of B.C.

lot has changed over long history of mining in B.C. Our province has grown to become one of the leading economies of the Pacific Rim. Vancouver is a thriving, multicultural metropolis and the Canadian gateway to Asia. A province that once relied on fisheries and forestry to employ thousands and support whole communities now looks to mineral extraction and natural gas for the same benefits. Established in 1901, the Mining Association of B.C. is one of B.C.’s oldest associations. It aims to support a strong and vibrant mining and mineral processing industry, one that will continue to create wealth and opportunity for all British Columbians for generations to come. The contributions of the mining industry extend far beyond the mining sites and communities in which our members operate. The industry touches the lives

of all British Columbians in one form or another. In 2013, the industry generated $8.5 billion in revenues, directly employed 10,720 people, and made payments of $511 million to government – money that is used to fund hospitals, schools, roads, bridges, and other public services that people across the province depend on daily. Mining companies are also proud to contribute millions of dollars every year to local community organizations. Mining matters to every single person in B.C. and the mining community is proud of the difference we make in people’s lives. We all depend on the products that come from mining. Whether we are talking about communications networks, residential and industrial needs, new sources of green energy, or our economy, mining is an integral part of our lives. It is an integral part of who we are in British Columbia.

GUEST COMMENT

KARINA BRINO As Canada’s largest producer of copper, its largest exporter of coal, and its only producer of molybdenum, B.C.’s mining industry helps British Columbians stay connected, moving, and healthy. It is important to recognize that the mining industry is driven by people – people who share the

same care and concern for the environment as their neighbours. Today’s mining companies focus as much on responsible development and shared community values as they do on the engineering required to build safe and environmentally responsible mines. The B.C. mining industry is aligned with the interests of our communities. Over the last few decades, responsiveness, reclamation, and community engagement have become routine practices in the industry. Advancements in technology are creating new ways of looking at extractive industries. The Mining Association of B.C. was the first provincial mining association to implement the Mining Association of Canada’s Towards Sustainable Mining (TSM) initiative – the industry’s commitment to world-leading best practices in environmental stewardship and community engagement.

While there is still more to be done, B.C.’s mining companies have become leaders in establishing partnerships based on meaningful dialogue and shared values. The people of B.C. have put great confidence in the mining sector’s ability to support their lifestyles while operating responsibly, and the industry is dedicated to ongoing progress, meaningful engagement, and respectful dialogue. As I look back and consider how far the mining industry has come, I can only imagine what the future will hold. There is a tremendous opportunity in B.C. going forward for the industry to continue to positively impact the lives and social wellbeing of all British Columbians. From Dease Lake to downtown Vancouver, mining truly matters to everyone. Karina Brino is the President of the Mining Association of British Columbia.

CITY COUNCIL has endorsed a plan to place signs in public places urging residents not to smoke there instead of bringing in an anti-smoking bylaw. The first of the signs will be going up in George Little Park and then posted elsewhere. This policy, crafted by city officials, follows a presentation last year to city council by the Canadian Cancer Society which encouraged council to adopt a smoking ban in parks, trails and other public spaces. “Rather than introduce a bylaw to prohibit smoking in outdoor places, instead I am proposing we use positive messaging and focus on one particular area, George Little Park, and try that out,” corporate administrator Alisa Thompson told council last night at its regular meeting. Other communities looked at included Vancouver and Kelowna where smoking is prohibited by law in public parks, Thompson said. She added that the city’s ability to enforce an anti-smoking bylaw was also considered. Currently smoking is not permitted around municipal building doorways in Terrace. A previous Terrace sign campaign to encourage the wearing of bike helmets on city property was originally met with vandalism, said Thompson, however over time there are indications that campaign has worked. Those signs were placed at the skateboard park and at the sportsplex. Mayor Dave Pernarowski praised the simpler and more cost effective approach which opted for signs as opposed to bylaws and ticketing. Councillor Lynne Christiansen said that from her experience as president of the Skeena Valley Farmers Market, a smoking ban worked there. Signs could be installed in George Little Park as soon as this summer, though there is no definite time. Policies against smoking do not apply to the ceremonial uses of tobacco, says the memo presented to council.

Kitsumkalum wants gas plan say By ANNA KILLEN THE KITSUMKALUM First Nation says it wants more contact with the provincial government over a number of proposals to build natural gas pipelines to the coast to service planned liquefied natural gas (LNG) plants. Citing revenue sharing agreements recently reached with two other Tsimshian First Nations on the North Coast, Metlakatla and Lax Kw’alaams, Kitsumkalum chief councillor Don Roberts said in a release June 12 that those agreements do not mean the province or LNG industry has “a pass to the coast.” “They have not yet dealt with Kitsumkalum,” said Roberts, noting that Kitsumkalum has traditional territory on the coast. “And until they address our concerns and accommodate for the im-

pacts, LNG cannot be developed on the coast.” Roberts has several times voiced concern about ownership and control of marine resources, a crucial issue as the First Nation prepares for final land claims treaty talks with the provincial and federal governments. The Skeena River and its tributaries – and the resources they contain – are integral to the Kitsumkalum people and treaty discussions around fish have yet to be finalized. Kitsumkalum is concerned that the potential LNG industry provides a “very real threat to the survival of the eulachon and all the salmon runs on the Skeena River,” said fisheries manager Mark Biagi in the June 12 statement. Roberts is calling for meetings with natural gas minister Rich Coleman and aboriginal affairs minister John Rustad.

“We are willing to talk but they haven’t even picked up the phone,” he said. “If British Columbia continues to deny us the recognition and respect for our title and rights on the coast, and fails to include us meaningfully in the benefits of this industry, we will do whatever is required to make sure that these projects do not proceed,” he continued.

In a phone call, Robin Platts, a public affairs officer for the provincial aboriginal affairs ministry, said there have been talks with Kitsumkalum surrounding LNG development, but was unable to provide specifics by press deadline. And earlier last year Roberts hinted that revenue sharing would be an issue. “They may not have a 100 per cent say [in

development outside of core treaty lands] but they will be looking for partnerships, revenue sharing,” he said in a Terrace Standard article published Feb. 4, 2013, speaking to how Kitsumkalum people view traditional lands that won’t be part of their core treaty. Roberts was unavailable for additional comment following the June 12 release.

Thankfully, ‘big oil’ can’t buy everything Dear Sir: I would like to briefly take issue with the reasonable sounding guest comment by Dylan Jones of the Canada West Foundation that appeared in the May 28, 2014 issue of The Terrace Standard. The people of Kitimat and what Jones calls “the anti-pipeline crowd” have every cause to celebrate their symbolic victory over “big oil”. They should be extremely proud of the fact that they asserted their rights as citizens to think for themselves about what kind of future they want for their community. The tantalizing idea Jones has that putting Canadian Tar Sands bitumen into tankers bound for Asia could somehow help reduce global poverty which in turn could help lower the birth rate and reduce the global environmental footprint is, unfortunately, absurd. It is a variant of the old trickle down economic theory that has never worked but that has never lost its popularity with the people and the corporations that own most of the world’s resources. Yes big companies help support hospitals and services but what if we had a healthy sustainable economy that didn’t make people sick, that didn’t rely on men dislocated from their families for its workforce, and that didn’t feed the boom and bust cycles that create the demand for psychiatric care and the treatment of addictions in the first place?

It is undeniably true that overpopulation is a major concern in relation to the world’s resources but it is clear that economic wellbeing in our current toxic economy equates to people using much more fossil fuel per capita and an increase rather than a decrease in environmental stresses. These big problems need to be tackled directly rather than by simply intensifying the kinds of activities that got us into so much trouble to begin with. Climate change is hitting poor people the hardest while the business – as usual – economy continues to funnel the proceeds of resource exploitation into fewer and fewer hands. We desperately need a new model: one which places a value on quality of life, one which reflects our ultimate dependence on biological diversity, one which rewards energy conserving policies and technologies, and most importantly, one in which local people have a significant say about what happens to them and to their communities. Congratulations, Kitimat! Your plebiscite result sends a message to everyone, including “big oil” that money can’t buy everything or everyone, and that when people assess what really matters to them and their families in the places where they live and work, things will have to be done differently. David Bowering, MD, MHSc., Terrace, B.C.

Dear Sir: This is a reply to columnist Tom Fletcher’s online column, “An Inconvenient Truth” on www.terracestandard. com. Mr Fletcher pointed out in his article that “60 per cent of oil pollution around North America comes from natural seeps and has been for millennia.”

Climate warming truths However, nature deals with small amounts ( natural ones) quite well, but a large spill would be quite something else as we have seen in the past. For example, there is arsenic occurring naturally all over the planet, in the air, water, soil, in minute amounts. But I would not want to take a single gram

equal and even around the world. But climate warming means that there will be warming in some places, but more importantly climate warming means more extreme weather, more floods, more draughts, more high and low records, etc. Martin Holzbauer, Terrace, BC

Didier said the cost could rise higher depending on how much deterioration they find when they open up the west wall, which has been crumbling for years. The city decided to accept Didier’s recommendation to scale back the plan, removing everything from the upgrade list except for the wall rebuild and upgrade of the ventilation system. “It’s a matter of relocating the funds we have set aside for the project into the wall and ventilation,” Didier said. “Sad to see that the painting isn’t being done,” said councillor Stacey Tyers. The pool will be closed for part of the time that the renovations are being done, but Didier said employees will do their best to keep it open for as long as possible during phases of the work.

■ Not a drag IT WAS a successful weekend at the track for the Terrace Drag Racing Association June 6 - 8, with races held all weekend. “We had 36 racers on Street Night which we have not held for a few years,” said Street Night organizer Dallas Weibe, of the Friday night event. “That is the best showing we have ever had and hope to exceed that on our next street night August 1.” Pictured in the car is Harley Bell, who placed first, with Turbo V-Rod rider Seth Harmer, who took third, hot on his heels.

Best of the Bluebacks Terrace swim club wraps up season with a splash THE TERRACE Bluebacks wrapped up another successful season last week with a yearend BBQ and awards ceremony following the last meet of the season in Prince Rupert. “It was a good season,” said coach Mike Christensen, noting that the team laid the groundwork for an even better year next year. He anticipates most of the team will be back, and is busy evaluating potential new members at the Terrace Aquatic Centre while the team finishes up its last few weeks of training. As for awards, Blueback Jade Heathfield took home competitor of the year with 273 points, as well as female athlete of the year. Heathfield is at long course provincials this week, her second provincial competition. Thomas Christensen, in his final year with the swim club, took home male athlete of the year. He said he’s looking forward to the summer and stepping up his game in other sports. Jake Kluss was tapped rookie of the year at the awards night, with Logan Shinde taking home the inspiration award. Shinde was marked most inspirational because of the strides she took to overcome a back injury last year – she moved her way through the ranks as the year progressed. Bella Lang was marked as

Skeena River Relay touches many THE 13TH annual Skeena River Relay got off to a soggy start June 7, with northwest runners racing in the rain for the length of the Highway 16 route. The popular 142 kilometre relay race begins in Prince Rupert, with 30 teams of five to 10 tagging off along the scenic highway route to the finish line in Terrace. This year, a Smithers contingent claimed the best time – Smithers Fire Rescue’s total time of 10:44:05 had them finish first overall. They also took the corporate title, finishing first in that category. There are Margaritas at the End! and RTA’s Adrenaline Runners finished in second and third, respectively, for that category. And Beaver Fever finished first in the women’s category, with Sole Sistas’ and Off Like a Prom Dress in second and third. The Rupert Relics took first in the masters category, while the Coast Busters took first in mixed. Weapons of Ass Destruction and We Can’t Stop Here, it’s Bat Country! rounded out the mixed category. For the open category, Give’er on the River came in first, with Be More Pacific and Wine Not in second and third.

By August, the rosters picked, and practises under their belt, the two northwest teams travelled down to Seabird Island reserveFraser Valley, for BC Provincials. There was a Northwest region (SkeenaHazelton), Fraser Valley region, Vancouver coastal, Interior region, and Vancouver Island region at the tournament.

rode out to Lynn Canyon with my friend Rick in his first car, a blue ’55 Ford. We were 18 and keen to watch some of the crazed kids that regularly made daring dives from the high rocky battlements into the canyon pools far below. After parking we made our way to the suspension bridge. Part way across the span we felt the bridge shake intensely in response to a forceful tread and heard the sound of vigorous breathing behind us. I turned to see an old man, lean and with a shock of white hair, striding toward us, his arms swayed in time with his gait. Got to keep moving, he said in an English accent that suited his stride. If you stop you drop. Now that I’m at that age when many of my contemporaries have been waylaid by the infirmities that attend those of us playing the back nine, I’m reminded of that old Brit and exceeding grateful for the ability to bike and hike the back woods. Staying home seems an opportunity squandered. It puts me on edge.

More chances to lift this July NORTHWEST POWERLIFTERS have another chance to prove their strength with the 2014 Canadian Powerlifting League Championships held in Prince George this July. At least one competitor from Terrace has already signed up, and organizer Jason Cook said he’s hoping to see more. It’s “a great opportunity for lifters in the area to compete,” said Cook of the inaugural meet’s northwest location. “This is the first nationals competition held in Prince George and is a qualifier for worlds,” he said. The Canadian Powerlifting League is affiliated with the International Powerlifting League, which hosts worlds in Las Vegas this November. The competition, to be held July 26 at Xconditioning, is open to all lifters, men and women aged 15 and over – no qualifier is required – and it’s capped at 45 competitors. Participating athletes will compete in squat, bench press and deadlift. “Competitors can expect a world class event with great judging, organization and facility,” said Cook. Terrace hosted its first powerlifting competition in a number of years late last month at the North Coast Fitness gym.

ago. Though it was intended for the slow flowing chalk streams of England, Skues’ nymph fooled some big trout that day. I recalled another day when Jim invited me to fish chinook with him on the Kitimat. A light, flexible plastic tinsel with the trade name Flashabou had just come on the market. Jim felt the stuff was full of possibilities. He tied a gob of the copper version to a size 4 Eagle Claw hook and proceeded to catch more than a few Kitimat salmon with it. Being a modest man, he didn’t tell me this, just handed me one of his Spartan creations when we got to the river. I was skeptical for about six casts when a huge chinook smashed into the fly pulled me and my screaming reel downstream over rocks and brush then snapped my line like sewing thread. Soon after that, Jim was in a terrible accident on the death trap of a highway between Kitimat and Terrace in which a young man was killed. Such a misfortune would have shaken up anyone, but to dedicated teacher like Jim, it must have been particularly devastating. I lost touch with Jim. As I looked at the nymph between my thumb and forefinger, I speculated that he is probably retired now and wondered where he was, and if he still loved to fish. I tied on his nymph. The formerly fussy fish found it immediately.

Soccer players set for Saskatchewan The tournament began with round robin play and then moved to a single knock out final. In a stunning display of sportsmanship, the northwest U16 male team went undefeated the whole tournament. The U18 went nearly undefeated, losing one game to Vancouver Coastal 4-0, but the team had enough points to advance to the final. Their opponents turned out to be Vancouver Coastal, giving them a shot at redemption, which they took, beating them 4-0. “We were the underdogs going into this tourney,” said coach Toni Muldoe in an email. “Because we only had 36 kids try out for the two teams combined. The kids played with heart and gave everything they had. What the people of Seabird Island liked was how the under 16 and the under 18 teams became one. Supported and cheered for each other. Most of our kids have never played in a tourney like this, and now we are off to an international tournament in July in Regina.” “The North America Indigenous Games 2014. A chance of a lifetime for our young athletes of the northern region. What made it all possible was the support from groups who helped us get all of our athletes to Seabird Island last year, and now making lifelong memories for our youth here in the north. Our boys come from a vast area in the North, Heritage is in their bloodlines. Hazelton, Kispiox, Kitwanga, Moricetown, Kitamaat, Massett, Gitsegukla, Gitanyow, Glenvowell all represented.” And who are the young men who make up these teams? The U-18 roster includes Jarret Denny, Damon Fladmark, Jacob Harris, Brandon Johnson, Warren Maitland Jr, Stephen Matthews, Charles Mclean, Scott Morgan, Jonathan Morris, Dustin Muldoe, Jalen Patsey, Huson Sampare, Julian Starr, Levi Turner, Matthew Walker, Michael Walker, and coaches Ryan Muldoe & Warren Maitland Sr. And the U-16 roster

More than meets the eye By JOSH MASSEY

THE CURRENT dual exhibits at the Terrace Art Gallery are linked not so much by style but through the process by which the two artists on display arrived at their very different finished paintings. At first blush it would appear that Suzo Hickey, whose work is in the upper gallery and which is called “Rain in the Forecast,” and Bob Mansfield’s lower gallery collection, “Abstraction by Nature,” are from opposite ends of the artistic spectrum. Mansfield’s large to medium-sized canvases are done in a contemporary abstract or expressionist style with large watery colour streaks and splatters all over the shiny surface. Then there’s Hickey’s, of similar physical dimension: much more recognizable scenes of houses in coastal towns with dynamic and emotive cloud patterns overtop. Both artists have

connections to the north with Hickey having grown up in Prince Rupert and Mansfield now living in New Hazelton. And both use layering techniques to add depth to their creations. With Hickey’s work one notices intriguing lines of colour peaking through here and there from the street scenes, adding an abstract flourish to her realist/impressionist offerings. As it turns out these are not streaks added after the fact but part of a grid of colours which form the substrate or first layer of her paintings. Only after she has painted a grid of variously coloured lines does Hickey then begin making shapes which comprise the actual scene over top, letting the colours shine through where needed to fill in objects. Mansfield, while offering up a very different type of composition also uses a layering technique. Except in his case he uses large

another and apply that, gluing them together with a spray glue that is also transparent. The result, after several ap-

plications of painted acetate is an expressionist pieces with a glossy pop art finish. The exhibit is a

great balance of artists from the north who are tackling very different projects but united by shared practices.

It’s worth popping in to see for yourself the fascinating dichotomy. Show runs from May 30 – June 21.

Scouts and Ventures enjoy weekend camp NEARLY 30 local Scouts, Ventures and their leaders took part in a weekend end of May camping trip to Watson Lake, a trip which was made even more memorable because they were using pack horses belonging to Scouter Mike Dame. One of the senior Scouts, Tanisha Salter, had the extra task of working with Scouter Mike to make sure the horses were ready. Boxes used to pack supplies were placed on each side of a horse and each had to weigh the same to provide a balanced load. “When we got up there we looked for a flat place to set up our tent but there weren’t many,” said Salter after the group arrived at Watson Lake on Friday, May 30. “Some tents got flat ground while others had a little bit of a slant,” she said. Dinner that first night consisted of smokies and the fire helped to keep the bugs at bay. Following breakfast the next day, Salter and other senior Scouts – Aurora Peden, Brittney Preston, Aiden Gardner and Aiden Archer set up a compass course. “The compass course is to teach us how to use a compass properly,” she said. “This took almost all day to set up and to do,” said Salter. A swim in Watson Lake followed although the water was very cold.

“When I was trying to dry my shorts I accidentally burned the back of my legs from standing to close to the fire,” said Salter. Supper that night took the form of a camping cook off with the Kermode Patrol making moose meat kabobs with fried vegetables and the Fox Patrol baking potatoes with chicken and salad. Before breaking camp the next morning, the group took part in what’s called a Scout Zone. It’s a time when individuals speak about what they liked about the camp with the zoning ending with a song and quote from the Scout book. “The camp was very fun and lots of us would definitely do it again,” said Salter. Scout leader Mike Dame said the group encountered more than their fair share of hungry blackflies. “With a flurry of slapping and loading we were up the hill to the first lake with a trail of sweaty bodies in no time at all,” he said of the group’s arrival at Watson Lakes. “With numerous red spots on the legs and backs of the scouts we packed up on Sunday and returned safely to the trail head and returned the youth to their awaiting parents,” Dame added as the camping weekend concluded. “It was a great weekend with good weather and lots of campfire stories and kids with endless energy,” he said.

Learning from each other THEY’VE SPENT time working on art, eating lunch together or just running around. And along the way Lynn Kinney and Annabelle Reece are learning from each other. Both are part of a Big Brothers Big Sisters program in which an adult and a young student spend time together during school hours. Reece is eight years old and in Grade 3 at Cassie Hall Elementary and Kinney is the assistant branch manager at Northern Savings in Terrace. Kinney’s time with Reece is made possible by the credit union’s participation in the school hours program. “I went to a presentation and I thought that maybe there’s something here I can share,” said Kinney. “It’s all about Annabelle and this is a learning experience. She’s teaching me a lot of things.” They’ve met for an hour every second week at Cassie Hall. The rules of the program mean they stay on school

It’s meant drawing together, playing on school ground equipment or just plain talking. Kinney even brought some boxing gloves

once for a gentle round of sparring. Local Big Brothers Big Sisters coordinator Monica Watson, hopes the in-school program will expand as more

businesses sign on. “The in-school program takes a screened and trained adult volunteer (mentor) and matches them to a selected child that the

school chooses (mentee) from the participating school in grades 1-6,” said Watson. With school winding down, Watson said she’ll pick up promoting the program in the fall. “Certainly we’re also looking for ways for volunteers to participate,” she said. One possibility is having an adult have lunch with a student once a week, Watson added. It was an idea she gained from Kinney’s time being spent with Annabelle. One summer program now being planned is called Kids N Kops, a week long program in August, in which young people learn about policing from RCMP officers. That program also ran here last year. School-based programs include ones for male and female students attending Skeena Middle School. Big Brothers Big Sisters is run in Terrace through the Terrace and District Community Services Society.

New Aiyansh soccer field is underway GROUND WAS broken June 11 in Gitlaxt’aamiks (New Aiyansh) in the Nass Valley for a soccer field which will accomplish several goals. It’s not only an addition to recreational facilities but its construction will bolster the skills of people taking apprentice training. The field will showcase the partnership of the Gitlaxt’aamiks Village Government and a provincial training agency called the UA Piping Industry College of BC that was started late last year because of the frustrations the village government had with certification of their apprentices and employment in various trades, states a village government press release. Since partnering with UA Piping Industry College of BC, the village government has put a total of 25 Gitlaxt’aamiks students in trades upgrading, introduction to construction, pipefitting foundation and heavy equipment training. “We want Gitlaxt’aamiks young people to acquire training, complete their apprentices and then move on to fulltime employment,” stated Chief Gerald Robinson, “(UA) Piping Industry College of BC provides us with the opportunity to fulfill that endeavor.” Eight members of the heavy equipment operator apprenticeship

training program, led by the piping industry college and Pacific Trail Pipelines Aboriginal Skills to Employment Partnership (PTP ASEP), broke ground. “We have found that working with the community of Gitlaxt’aamiks has been very beneficial,” stated Kelly Sinclair, Special Projects Coordinator, Piping Industry College of BC, “The calibre of students that they are providing us is first rate. The students work hard, take pride in what they do and really want to succeed.” “The same skills essential to being a skilled trades person,” said Kelly Sinclair, Special Projects Coordinator of the UAPIC BC. “These apprentices are building the future of their community.” This is the seat time component of the heavy equipment operator training program that started in partnership with the UAPIC BC, PTP ASEP, and includes training at the Operating Engineers Training Centre. The training program is being financed by the Industry Training Authority (ITA), a federal-provincial training program, the piping industry college, the International Union of Operating Engineers, the Pacific Trails Pipeline training program and other community and corporate sponsors.

Day to celebrate all First Nations

NATIONAL ABORIGINAL Day promises to be another fun and educational time this year thanks to the efforts of the Kermode Friendship Society. A committee run by the society has organized a day of activities for June 21. There will be a number of events held in George Little Park beginning at 10 a.m. and with the ceremonial passing of the stick that acknowledges the Kitselas/Tsimshian traditional land that Terrace is now situated within and finishing at 5 p.m. “Our theme this year is family enrichment,” says interim program director Shannon West-Johnson. “We do this event every year to celebrate all the different cultures in the area.” The all-day event will feature traditional dance, food vendors and traditional games played by local First Nations. There will be a number of speakers who will honour the legacy of First Nations in the region.

Speakers include Kitselas Chief Councillor Joe Bevan, mayor Dave Pernarowski and Sharon Bryant. There will also be an appearance by young dancers who have been working on a routine of traditional performance. One of the programs at the Kermode Friendship Centre is called Kidstart, which is an educational and nurturing program for aboriginal youth. For kids there will be a bouncy castle. For all age groups there will be plate painting, and games such as an obstacle course, potato sack races and a three-legged race. The dancers will be from various First Nations groups in the area and will feature the special styles brought to bare on the art form by dancers from Skeena River Dance Group, Gitsegukla Dance and Nisga’a dancers. The day was first celebrated first proclaimed 18 years ago and is held each year on the first day of summer.

Aside from the 6-speed manual, Subaru offers their version of a Continuously Variable Transmission, aka the Lineartronic CVT.

Subaru does an excellent job with the gear simulations and I didn’t feel the drone of the system under hard acceleration, even with the 4-cylinder.

Court affirms Kitselas land compensation By ANNA KILLEN THE KITSELAS First Nation is still owed compensation for a land transaction dating back to 1891. That’s the word from the federal court of appeal, which, following two days in court this April, ruled June 5 that last year’s favourable ruling by the Specific Claims Tribunal, a tribunal set up in 2008 to hear cases involving First Nations claims on specific pieces of land, is valid and that the federal government’s opposition to the ruling is not. “I would dismiss this judicial review application,” writes Justice Robert Mainville in the decision. “The judge reached the appropriate legal conclusion with respect to the fiduciary duty owed in this case by Canada to the Kitselas.” The federal government, Kitselas, the Specific Claims Tribunal, and First Nations interveners spent two days in federal appeals court this April arguing the government’s appeal of the tribunal ruling, which dates back to 1891 and deals with a 10.5 acre parcel of land located along the banks of the Skeena River on traditional Kitselas territory. The tribunal found that the land, which contains a former village site, was wrongly excluded from the original Kitselas reserve allotment in 1891. A Hudson Bay Company warehouse was located on the site, which became known as Lot 113 and is now a provincial park. The federal government’s decision to appeal the tribunal’s finding was the first time the government has appealed a tribunal decision. The Specific Claims Tribunal was formed as an independent body of the federal government with the government seeking the

opinion of the Assembly of First Nations prior to its establishment. It is not part of the more sweeping negotiations involving comprehensive claims which lead to treaties being signed by First Nations and governments. In its appeal, the federal government argued that it should not be obligated to provide financial compensation for lands the government wrongly neglected to include in original reserve allotments and that if there is an obligation, it should be shared with the province. To the latter point, the appeals court ruled that, as laid out in the tribunal judge’s decision, details surrounding compensation owed by are to be dealt with at the compensation stage of the hearing. “Under the judge’s order of July 3, 2012, the issues of validity and compensation with respect to the claim were bifurcated, with the understanding that the issue of validity would first be determined separately from the issue of compensation,” reads the decision. “In fact, the judge made no final finding in his reasons with respect to the potential liability of British Columbia affecting the compensation that would eventually be owed by Canada.” But the compensation stage of the hearing cannot begin until the appeals process is complete. Federal representatives refused to say whether they would be appealing the June 5 decision. Canada has 60 days to file an appeal with the Supreme Court of Canada. “Should the Government of Canada seek to appeal the Federal Court of Appeal decision, Canada’s reasons will be fully set out in its application for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada,” read a statement from Aboriginal Affairs

and Northern Development Canada. Given the precedent value of the case and how much it could mean to Canada in terms of money, Kitselas lawyer Stan Ashcroft said the

government could decide it is worth it to take it to the highest court. A second federal appeal to a tribunal decision was filed earlier this year regarding a similar favourable

Specific Claims Tribunal decision for the Williams Lake Indian Band. “If Kitselas had lost its case ... then that would have severely damaged the Williams

Lake band,” said Ashcroft. In fact, Ashcroft says this ruling gives precedent to a number of specific claims cases across Canada – something which could prove ex-

pensive for the federal government. “Sometimes lessons learned are expensive,” he said. “Hopefully what it will do is achieve or at least induce Canada to act better in the future.”

The KSM Project: It’s exploration season at KSM! Exploration season has begun at Seabridge Gold’s KSM Project camp. During the exploration season, there are typically 35 to 45 people working at the camp. Because the season is short, the majority of staff works on a four week on and one week off rotation. KSM is one of the largest undeveloped coppergold projects in the world and the goal for this year’s 19,000 metre drilling program is to add gold and copper resources to the existing reserve. KSM is located 65 kilometres northwest of Stewart. To access the camp, workers take a scheduled bus service to a staging area near the Bell II Lodge on Highway 37. From here they are transported via helicopter and arrive at the camp after a 20 minute flight. At camp, employees sleep in two person wall tents and share meals in the 25 person dining hall. Camp wide wireless internet access is available and many workers choose to watch movies, or occasionally play cards in the evenings. Workers in a variety of roles are essential to overseeing a successful advanced exploration operation. The five member camp support team, including kitchen staff, first aid attendants and caretakers, is responsible for camp maintenance and food preparation. Two pilots, a helicopter engineer and a flight dispatcher are part of the flight team flying workers to and from site. 14 diamond drillers, three drill core cutters, three drill pad builders and two directional drilling technicians work with the geological team, comprised of four geotechnicians, four geologists and two assistants. The drilling and geological teams drill holes and record and analyze the samples of earth and rock (called core), which are then sent to a lab for testing.

Preparing the KSM camp for opening.

About 50 percent of these workers come to the KSM camp from the Terrace and Smithers areas and 30 percent come from other regions of B.C. The remaining 20 percent are from other parts of Canada. To support local businesses, Seabridge sources almost all equipment and supplies for the camp from regional suppliers and contractors. This includes food, camp and ofﬁce supplies, fuel, timber, hardware and drill core boxes. About 80 percent of these supplies are sourced from Smithers, Terrace and Stewart. Since 2006, Seabridge has invested $176 million in the project and is budgeting another $29 million for 2014. Around 80 percent of spending to date has been in British Columbia, beneﬁting local B.C. businesses. Seabridge Gold submitted the environmental assessment application for the KSM Project to the provincial and federal governments in 2013 and expects a decision during the summer of 2014. Seabridge is proud of the work being done at KSM and looks forward to a successful 2014 exploration season.
