TERRACE - Three of the 16 units at Skeena Kalum Housing complex on Haugland Ave. burned up in the early morning hours of Aug. 5. All 38 residents had to leave because the power had to be shut off. Emergency services housed them all for 72 hours. The cause of the blaze wasn’t known but it did start on the outside of the building, said Terrace fire chief John Klie. Two vehicles parked underneath were completely destroyed also. A facebook page, Community Relief for Families of the Fire, has been set up to help with financial donations and donations of household items and clothes.

QUESNEL - An estimated 1.5 million migrating Fraser River sockeye salmon are destined for Quesnel Lake, which has now been contaminated by the Mount Polley mine tailings pond spill. The Quesnel system sockeye make up a major portion of what’s hoped to be a record run this year, said Craig Orr, executive director of the Watershed Watch Salmon Society. “This is one of the greatest environmental disasters we’ve had on the Fraser,” Orr said. “Some of the effluent will be getting in the Fraser. The big question is how concentrated, how harmful it will be. Some of these compounds have short term impacts and some have much longer term impacts.” While the Quesnel Lake stocks are among the Fraser’s most abundant, Orr is particu-
larly concerned that other much weaker stocks that spawn in other tributaries of the Fraser could be harmed. “People have to be concerned about not just what it means for the returning fish but for the juveniles rearing in the lake right now,” he said. “We don’t know if it’s going to accumulate in their bodies or potentially affect their olfactions, their ability to find their home waters.” Resident fish at risk include threatened bull trout and plentiful rainbow trout. At a news conference in Likely, Imperial Metals president Brian Kynoch said the water in the pond is tested with rainbow trout, and its arsenic level is one fifth of the limit for drinking water. He described the effluent as “relatively benign.” The huge spill of tailings and water tore down Hazeltine Creek, which is where endangered Interior coho salmon are supposed to

spawn in a few weeks. Gord Sterritt, executive director of the Upper Fraser Fisheries Conservation Alliance, said the group, which represents 23 First Nations from Williams Lake to the Fraser’s headwaters, had already raised concerns that planned releases of effluent into the creek by mine operator Imperial Metals might harm the coho. Chinook salmon also spawn near the outlet of Quesnel Lake at the Quesnel River. “Those fish will be holding or just about to enter the spawning grounds pretty quick,” Sterritt said. “We’re pretty concerned about what the toxic elements are going to do those fish. And then there’s the scouring of the debris pile that is potentially going to be moving down the lake and into the river.” Contamination that reaches the mainstem Fraser could affect fish spawning hundreds of kilometres away, such as in Stuart
Lake near Fort St. James. Sterritt said he’s fielding calls from First Nations as far downstream as Lillooet that are alarmed about the potential impact on their food fisheries. Kynoch said the pond water nearly meets drinking water standards and the main threat to fish is from the silt, which he said is settling rapidly. Sto:lo fishery advisor Ernie Crey said there remains widespread concern in aboriginal communities. “Eventually, this stuff will wend its way into the Fraser,” he said. Orr noted the spill came just three days after provincial government approval of the new KSM gold mine near the headwaters of the Nass River. The KSM project, near the Alaska border at Stewart, includes tunnels to carry ore 23 km away for processing and shipping, to satisfy Alaska’s concerns about fisheries and tourism.

WatCo backer questions council motives, integrity By Shaun Thomas
THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT- One of the financial backers of the Watson Island Development Corporation (WatCo) is publicly questioning the motives of the City of Prince Rupert for entering into an exclusivity agreement with Watson Island LNG (WILNG). Jason Youn Kim, CEO of Global Resources and Energy Enterprises, says there are several reasons the agreement with WILNG doesn’t make any sense, not the least of which is the ongoing court case between WatCo and the city over a failed sale of the site. While WILNG was incorporated in April, Kim noted the partners involved in WatCo include such recognized names as CN Rail, Samsung and Hyundai. That type of support makes it a more viable developer for the former pulp mill site, he claims. “The financing is in place as are the markets; we have the support of the Korean government and have a remediation plan in place with a recognized company standing by to start the cleanup on short notice ... as a point of interest, the president of South Korea, Park Guen Hye, is coming to B.C. in September to discuss LNG. She will be accompanied by the president of Samsung and Hyundai, which are also members of our consortium, and will be meeting with Premier Christy Clark,” he wrote in a letter to the Northern View, outlining some of
SHAUN THOMAS / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
The decision to strike an exclusivity agreement with an upstart LNG firm is not sitting well with one backer of the Watson Island Development Corp. the plans for the site. “WatCo ... a credible international consortium with a track record was organized to not only develop Watson Island with a large LNG plant but to include other products and a bulk terminal to export goods such as torrefied biofuels that will help replace coal and other commodities such as petroleum coke.” Kim said another reason the city should have stayed with WatCo is the certainty it creates as it relates to
First Nations in the region. “Watson Island is the subject of First Nations land claims that stand a very good chance to succeed after the Supreme Court ruling on First Nations claims ... WatCo has already brought the First Nations into the project as full partners who will continue to own the island while having a large stake in the project itself, which will help First Nations communities for years to come,” he wrote. While questioning why the
specifics of the agreement with WILNG are not being released, Kim accused Prince Rupert city council of “playing games with the futures of Prince Rupert, its citizens, the First Nations or anyone else” by signing an agreement with an upstart company. “How can the mayor be so confident this proposal is so good that he’s ready to give the proponent carte blanche with the future of the community? Personally, I am very suspicious of council’s motivation
here,” he wrote, adding that the city now has a credibility issue. “A real problem of its own making now facing the current council is, given its actions with WatCo, can it be trusted to honour any contract with anyone from this time forward?” Prince Rupert Mayor Jack Mussallem declined to comment on the concerns raised by Kim as the dispute between the City of Prince Rupert and WatCo remains before the courts.

Fraser Street zoning a hot topic at Prince Rupert council By Martina Perry
THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT - Prince Rupert City Council decided restrictions in place for Prince Rupert’s downtown core won’t be implemented on parts of Fraser Street last week, as suggested by city staff. While conducting an inventory of off-street parking spaces, it was noticed that several properties along the south and east sides of Fraser Street had not been included in the Downtown Development Permit Area (DPA) boundary. The DPA was put in place in 2009 to help implement the vision of the Quality of Life Official Community Plan for a “vibrant, compact, mixed use downtown with a high quality of urban design”. However Fraser Street property owners had some concerns with the idea, like James West of Jim West Signs. “I can see absolutely no benefits to this amendment for myself,” he
said. “As far as I can see, I’m going to be forced to adhere to unnecessary regulations,” West also said. The inclusion would mean more restrictions on the outside of the properties, but city planner Zeno Krekic said the only additional cost to owners would be if they wanted to renovate their building’s exterior, as DPA guidelines require owners to apply for a development permit application. Krekic noted that permits for work costing less than $5,000 are $60, with anything over costing about $235. “If the individual is going to do $150,000 renovation, obviously the $200 isn’t going to be a hardship. I don’t see where anyone is being penalized,” said Coun. Gina Garon. Coun. Barry Cunningham said he isn’t concerned with the fee of the permit but the price of the higher quality materials that must be used within the DPA. Cunningham, along with Coun. Anna Ashley, said there should be provisions to alleviate the

that use, this puts it into a field where they have the ability to sell their building and the use can change,” she said. But for West, who said he has no intentions of selling anytime soon, he’s more concerned with the possibility of more taxes. “I was told this will probably increase the value of my property ... but if your property increase, it’s going to be reassessed and I’m going to be paying more city municipal taxes,” he said. “In my opinion, development permit area design guidelines will improve the value of the properties in the long run. As of present time, if this changes it won’t have any effects on taxes. Taxes are not set by development permit area, they’re set by assessments,” said Krekic. In the end the amendment was defeated, with only Garon voting in favour. Coun. Joy Thorkelson excused herself from the discussion, as she is involved with the Fishermen’s Hall.

Kitimat given age-friendly grant By Cameron Orr THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
KITIMAT - The provincial government through the BC Healthy Communities Society and the Ministry of Health has named Kitimat, among seven other communities, an age-friendly one, earning $1,000 towards creating a legacy project or celebration. The others were Anmore, Cobble Hill, Granisle, Kent, Telkwa, Vancouver and Vanderhoof. To achieve Age-friendly BC Recognition, according to the government release, communities must complete four steps. includ-
ing establishing an advisory committee, passing a local government resolution, conducting an age-friendly assessment and developing and publishing an action plan. The participation of local seniors also is required and is an integral part of this process. Kitimat doesn’t have a single age-friendly action plan but the grant proposal from the District included references to a number of plans from over the years that dealt with being age-friendly. That includes a 2001 Aging in Place report, Kitimat’s Housing Needs Assessment report and Better at Home assessment of the

Nisga’a ink deals with province By Anna Killen THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
NEW AIYANSH - Industry looking to do business on Nisga’a lands can now do so with more certainty following the signing of a series of agreements between the Nisga’a Lisims Government (NLG) and the province of British Columbia, say officials from both governments. Hailed as a “significant milestone” in the relationship between the NLG and the province, the agreements, signed during a ceremony at the Nisga’a legislative assembly in New Aiyansh July 31, advance Nisga’a treaty implementation and lay out a framework for future economic benefits for the Nisga’a Nation. One agreement signed by NLG president Mitchell Stevens and aboriginal affairs minister John Rustad at the ceremony enables the NLG to collect property taxes from Nisga’a and non-Nisga’a citizens who live on Nisga’a lands and have taxing authority over industrial installations, like pipelines, which pass through Nisga’a lands. “We now occupy the tax room, through the agreement, that B.C. occupied,” said Stevens at the official signing, calling it “a very significant step in the history of the province of B.C. and the Nisga’a Nation.” The Nisga’a Real Property Tax Coordination Agreement, which still requires legislation from both governments to bring its terms into effect, is a pledge that solidifies one track of provincial and Nisga’a discussions following the 2000 Nisga’a Final Agreement, which contained within it a commitment from all parties to negotiate a taxation agreement. While taxation talks had started and stalled over the years, “with the LNG (liquefied natural gas) opportunities and the LNG pipeline opportunities, it was timely to get it completed,” said Rustad, speaking afterwards. The agreements signed allow the Nisga’a “to be able to show to industry the certainty that they have if they want to consider doing business on Nisga’a lands,” said Rustad. “Whether that be a pipeline or whether that be a facility of some kind ... this allows them now to say here’s the rules, here’s what it will look like, here’s the certainty that you need to come do business with us.”

Provincial and Nisga’a Lisims Government officials met in New Aiyansh last week. Mitchell indicated that stems from the strength of the Nisga’a Final Agreement. “The Nisga’a Final Agreement was signed to provide certainty and those people that want to invest $30, 40 billion in this province to come through Nisga’a Lisims territory understand the certainty this document provides,” said Stevens. Negotiated with federal and provincial governments, the Nisga’a Final Agreement contains provisions which the Nisga’a say ensures that any industrial development that takes place on Nisga’a lands must both respect the rights of aboriginal people and protect the environment. “When any type of development is to proceed on this land we’ve been very consistent that we would not trade off the rights and interests of Nisga’a citizens for economic development,” said Stevens. “All development in our territory must be consistent with the Nisga’a Final Agreement,” he continued. To that end, the Nisga’a and the province also signed off on a settlement agreement which resolves the dispute over the environmental assessment of Avanti Mining’s Kitsault Mine
project. The Nisga’a formally opposed the provincial government’s environmental approval for Avanti granted last year, saying it didn’t follow the provisions within the Nisga’a Final Agreement. It first used a provision in the final agreement to resolve disagreements and then filed a suit against the provincial government. That suit, however, was put on hold last fall, paving the way for a revenue sharing deal with Avanti, an agreement that includes environmental protection measures for its planned molybdenum mine at Kitsault. The settlement agreement lays out a collaborative framework for future environment assessments and a “commitment to negotiate the Nass Stewardship protocol, a governmentto-government collaboration agreement that will help the Nisga’a Nation and B.C. work together to promote responsible natural resource management and development in a way that honours B.C.’s, and the Nisga’a Nation’s, responsibilities under the treaty,” reads a background document provided by the parties. The Kitsault Mine Eco-
Visit www.walmart.ca/coupons
nomic and Community Development Agreement will enable the Nisga’a to further tap into taxation benefits from the Kitsault mine, providing a 35 per cent share of provincial mineral tax revenue from that mine’s projected 14 to 16 year operation. The parties have also agreed to work towards a similar development agreement for future mining projects. “Like anything, we want to see economic activity and economic opportunities brought forward, but also and probably more importantly, we want to make sure that treaty nations are successful and they have opportunities to fully engage in the economy and so this is a big piece for the Nisga’a and also for the province,” said Rustad. Provincial environment minister Mary Polak, also present at the signing, said, “the Nisga’a Nation and the Environmental Assessment Office have been working side by side over the last year to develop a collaborative approach to environmental assessments. By working together, we can deliver predictable, effective and expeditious environmental assessments that meet the needs of both governments.”

Ottawa follows B.C.’s stepping stones By Tom Fletcher THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
VICTORIA - The federal government has responded to the strengthening of aboriginal title in B.C. by following the province’s lead and focusing on resource use agreements rather than full-scale treaties that have been slow and expensive to negotiate. A shift in federal policy was announced Monday by Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Minister Bernard Valcourt, endorsing non-treaty and incremental treaty agreements such as B.C. has focused on in recent years. Valcourt also appointed Vancouver lawyer Doug Eyford as a special advisor, to follow up on his advice to Ottawa last fall on developing West Coast oil and gas export projects. B.C. Aboriginal Relations Minister John Rustad welcomed the change in federal approach, describing resource agreements as “stepping stones to reconciliation. “We had been hoping the federal gov-
ernment would come to the table with things like our non-treaty agreements and our incremental approach to treaty for quite a few years,” Rustad said in an interview Tuesday. “That has been something they’ve resisted, but now they’re going to come to the table with that, and we welcome that.” B.C. recently signed its first liquefied natural gas resource sharing agreement for facilities proposed near Prince Rupert. On July 11, B.C. reached its 150th forest resource sharing agreement with the Seabird Island Band in the Fraser Valley, and has developed similar revenue deals for mining and hydroelectric projects. Ottawa is also promising to restart fisheries talks that have been on hold since the Cohen Commission reported in 2012 on the health of Fraser River sockeye salmon runs. The B.C. Treaty Commission has protested for years that Ottawa’s foot-dragging has contributed to the slow pace of talks, with only four treaties completed since the three-way structure was set up in 1992. Chief Commissioner Sophie Pierre
has warned of over-emphasis on resource agreements, with Ottawa and B.C. focused on northern B.C. pipeline and energy projects. Rustad said there are resource projects all over the province that can benefit, adding there will be new agreements announced in the near future. Valcourt’s announcement mirrors the main recommendations of Eyford’s report last fall. It called for “targeted efforts to build effective relationships, including refinements to Canada’s current approach to consultation and engagement, to explore mutually beneficial initiatives that support reconciliation, and to encourage aboriginal communities to resolve shared territory issues.” Rustad said Ottawa is moving on Eyford’s recommendations, not in response to the landmark aboriginal title case decided in favour of the Tsilhqot’in Nation in June. The Supreme Court of Canada upheld Tsilhqot’in title to the Nemiah Valley west of Williams Lake, striking down provincial logging permits issued without aboriginal consent.

Hot August Nites lives up to name By Ed Evans THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
TERRACE - Hot August Nites lived up to its billing as 30 plus degree weather shone on the Terrace Airport track on the weekend. Action was also hot on the track, with two Pro-Mods running 3/4 track burnouts before making their runs. Perry Thyr in his 90’s Camero did huge smokey burnouts all weekend and you definitely had to plug your ears when these two cars ran. Wade Sojostrom in his Blown 57 chevy tore up the track on

Landfill expansion to cost millions By Martina Perry THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
PRINCE RUPERT - Extensive work at the Prince Rupert Landfill is underway. An estimated $9.5 million in upgrades will be completed at the Prince Rupert Landfill by the end of 2018, with the City of Prince Rupert picking up the tab for any portion not funded by grants. Commissioned in 1991, the Prince Rupert Landfill was given a lifespan of up to 100 years. The landfill receives more than 12,000 tonnes of waste per year, using more than 24,000 cubic metres of space. While this number was consistent for years, volumes have been growing recently because of regional development, multiple residential home demolitions, an increase in home renovations, more stringent wood burning policies, and multiple commercial building fires. Staff has kept filling within the leachate containment area causing the air space within the dump’s Phase 1 and Phase 2 footprint to become completely exhausted. “As a result the landfill has risen to a higher level than originally planned and during its operations the slopes have been constructed at steeper angles than specified by the Ministry of Environment,” said Richard Pucci, the city’s engineering coordinator. To maintain compliance with the ministry and buy time until the Phase 3 footprint is ready for use, Sperling Hansen Associates, an engineering consulting firm specializing in solid waste management, recommended the city expand the dump with buttress fills starting with the east.The first part of the work on the east was completed in spring with the creation of a berm road. The project cost the city $166,000, $113,000 more than Sperling Hansen Associates

This map shows the proposed landfill expansion. had projected. But because the funds were taken from the department’s accruals, the overage won’t impact the city’s 2014 budget. The next piece of work will begin this month when engineered liners and a collection system are constructed behind the berm to contain leachate and bring it to the treatment system. Pucci said this will cost $1.5 million with the Engineering and Public Works Department recommending the funds be allocated from the city’s gas tax funds. When the eastern buttress fill is complete it will provide two years worth of anticipated landfill capacity. Work on the west expansion berm, pump station and liner will take place throughout the spring and summer of 2016 at an expected overall cost of $2.2 million. This will provide capacity until the
end of 2017. During this time, $1.5 million of work will be done to create Phase 3 of the landfill and another $1.4 million will be spent to close the eastern portion of Phase 1 and 2. By 2018, Pucci said the city should be able to transition into the Phase 3 area, which is expected to provide approximately 54 years of capacity at the current residential waste intake rate. There is also an additional cell in the northern part of the permit area that has approximately 35 years worth of air space. The last of work schedule to take place at the dump is the closure of Phase 1 and 2’s western portion, estimated at $1.3 million, and upgrading the leachate treatment system at a cost of approximately $2 million as, currently, collected leachate discharged into the ocean is impacted by contaminants.

Kitimat could hold referendum on MK Bay Marina By Cameron Orr
THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
KITIMAT - If Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine Director Doug McLeod can convince the rest of the board of the same, voters will have a say in a referendum regarding MK Bay Marina this November. McLeod gave a notice of motion last month for the next RDKS meeting which would tack a referendum question to the ballot when people vote for their rural
area representative. The District of Kitimat council appoints one of their own to the board to represent local interests. The question, if passed, would be “Are you in favour of the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine retaining ownership of the MK Bay Marina? Yes/No.” The motion will be put on the floor at the board’s August 8 meeting. McLeod said he wanted public input because for over a decade most of the discus-
sions around MK Bay Marina have happened in-camera, meaning not publicly. “The public has never had the opportunity to be involved in most of the discussions with regard to the marina over the last 15 years,” said McLeod. “All the discussions with regard to partnerships have taken place behind closed doors in-camera,” he continued. He said there’s other discussions still happening behind closed doors too that
New proposals coming in teacher talks By Tom Fletcher
THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
VANCOUVER - Negotiators for the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and school districts are meeting today, Friday, Aug. 8, for the first time since schools were shuttered by a strike in late June, and Education Minister Peter Fassbender expects new proposals from both sides. Fassbender said Tuesday it’s the first meeting of full bargaining teams in more than a month, and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association has some “new concepts” to bring to the discussion. “We’ve already demonstrated our willingness to move on some key elements,” he said. “We need to see the same from the BCTF. They’ve indicated they’re willing to do that.” He wouldn’t comment on the new proposals, except to reiterate that the BCTF’s position on benefits and other compensation is not in the “affordability zone” established by other public sector union agreements. If the strike shuts schools again in September, the government plans to
use the savings to compensate parents $40 a day for each child under 13 in public school, to assist with daycare or tutoring costs. Fassbender said there would be no conditions attached to the payout. “My hope is that there isn’t a nickel available as of September, because schools are operating, teachers are back in the classroom, students are there and there is no further disruption,” he said. The B.C. School Trustees’ Association has urged the government to direct its $12 million a day in payroll savings from the strike to a fund to address class size and special needs support. Trustees have also called on the union to moderate its benefit demands, which include parental leave, dental benefits, massage therapy and increased preparation time for elementary school teachers. BCPSEA has offered $375 million over a six-year contract term to provide extra classroom support, and specified class size limits in the teacher contract, to address key issues in a series of court disputes.
he’s not able to talk about. “The question that’s never been asked of the people who are mooring their boats down there and the people who launch their boats there...is whether or not they want to retain ownership,” he said. He said he was spurred to make the motion — he has also put up other notice of motions for possible referendum questions for November, including Area C garbage collection and the proposed location for the
Forceman Ridge landfill — because he realized too much was happening in-camera during the July board meeting. “The issue is we have a lot of people within the bureaucracy, including our administrator, who has told me outside of the in-camera situation that he doesn’t want to be involved in MK Bay Marina,” said McLeod. “There’s all kinds of things happening but at this stage there is no resolution passed by the regional dis-
trict of Kitimat-Stikine to sell the MK Bay Marina. That I can say because there’s no incamera references to that,” he continued. He also says that no tax money goes towards subsidizing the marina operation. “There’s been no taxpayers dollars in the MK Bay Marina since 1995,” he said. “The users have paid their own way, including the issues with WorksafeBC fines, issues with the safety authority fines and other legal costs.”

PRINCE RUPERT - Construction work taking place at the Prince Rupert Airport may end up costing the community jobs. The Prince Rupert Airport Authority sent out letters earlier this month outlining plans to start construction on July 21, which will reduce the length of the runway to less than 4,000 feet for a portion of the work. That length is not suitable for private jets, which Inland Air owner Bruce MacDonald said has resulted in the redirection of flights for high-end clientele visiting fishing lodges in the region. Rather than landing in Prince Rupert and boarding a seaplane at Digby Island to reach the lodge, many of those flights will be landing in Sandspit where lodge patrons will board helicopters. “I am looking at a loss of close to $100,000. I am probably going to have to lay off seven to eight people and I have a leased aircraft I am probably going to have to give back,” he said. “August is our busiest month. It’s when we try to get our nut to get through the winter and then we get our throats cut like this ... I know our airport needs works and it needs to be done, just don’t do it during the busiest month of the

Gitxsan eviction notices felt by Skeena fishing guides By Josh Massey THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
TERRACE - Local fishing guides and their clients were waiting with baited breath this weekend to see what action the Gitxsan First Nation would take to make a statement about territorial land claims. A letter from the Gitxsan Treaty Society (GTS) from July 15 said in no uncertain terms that action would be taken to halt not only all fishing by non-Gitxsan in their 33,000 square kilometre traditional territory but also CN Rail, LNG pipeline work and other industry. The eviction was planned to begin Monday, and Tuesday night Gitxsan Hereditary Chiefs issued a release stating they would begin blocking the railway at 10 p.m. The release says that an Aug. 4 meeting between chiefs, federal and provincial officials, and CN Rail failed to produce satisfactory results and they are following through on the eviction notice issued to CN. It also invited federal and provincial representatives to meet again. In the past weeks anglers were already being blocked from the rivers in the area extending east from Legate Creek, about 50 kilometres east of Terrace, and ending west of Smithers. Trees blocked boat launches and anglers were asked to leave, indicating the controlled strategy of action was happening ahead of schedule. For local guide outfitter Stan Doll of Terrace, it’s been business as usual, however, he and other guides have reported an influx of letters from clients asking if their summer fishing trip plans are still possible. “I have had to reassure clients,” said
Doll, adding that he is less concerned than upstream guides because the western edge of Gitxsan land falls outside of many of the major tributaries typically fished by Terrace guides. Doll said the provincial government sent northwest outfitters a letter with recommendations about how to deal with potential confrontation, and also reaffirming their legal right to continue fishing. “The province is aware that the eviction notice may result in confrontational situations with individuals and businesses operating within some areas of asserted Gitxsan Traditional Territory,” said a statement from the Fish and Wildlife Branch to local outfitters. “As a potentially impacted business, I recommend you have a safety plan in place that includes preparation for encounters with protesters that may be videotaped and publicized.” The message goes on to say that “In the event of an incident, I recommend that you and your staff refrain from responding directly, and observe carefully, remove yourselves from the situation as quickly as possible, and immediately report to the RCMP.” During the weeks leading up to the eviction, it became apparent that not all members of the Gitxsan First Nation agreed with the widelypublicized eviction plan by the treaty society and the hereditary chiefs it represents. The chiefs of houses (wilps) not represented by the GTS disagreed with the extent of the planned action because they have agreements with fish guiding companies and need the business.

A different group of hereditary chiefs called the United Chiefs wrote their own press release addressed to the Ministry of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation speaking against the eviction strategy presented by GTS negotiator Bev Clifton Percival. “The United Chiefs are not in agreement with Ms. Percival’s statements that Gitxsan intend to evict third parties from our territories,” said the statement signed by hereditary chiefs Earl Muldon, Norman Stephens, Lar-
ry Patsey dated July 28. Another house, Wilps Gwininitxw, echoed this sentiment. “While Wilps Gwininitxw supports the western Gitxsan Houses regarding the Kitselas and Kitsumkalum AIP land grab, it does not support the eviction notice for all Gitxsan territories,” said a statement from the more than 200 member wilp. The AIP mentioned in this statement, short for Agreement in Principle, is the central demand of the Gitxsan, however, there is disagreement over how
those demands should be put to the government. Both those who supported the eviction and those who didn’t were in agreement that the province should revise its treaty plans with the Kitselas and Kitsumkalum bands and remove land given to these bands which the courts in the past have said belongs to the Gitxsan. According to Percival, the money offer from the province of $12 million tied to two natural gas pipelines that would pass through their territory was not good enough to stop the
eviction and missed the point. “As usual with the crown, they just kind of come up with a formula and that’s what they use. There is no negotiation in there and it’s a take it or leave it approach,” she said. Currently the government is trying to get the Kitsumkalum and Kitselas treaties approved by the federal government, but the Gitxsan want the application withdrawn and negotiations to take place first to resolve the disagreement over the disputed area that takes in two rivers near Git-
The KSM Project: KSM Environmental Assessment Approved by British Columbia Seabridge Gold is excited to announce the BC government’s approval of the KSM Project’s Environmental Assessment (EA) Application. Mary Polak, Minister of Environment, and Bill Bennett, Minister of Energy and Mines, approved the document on July 30, 2014, paving the way for the next regulatory step: approval from the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency. The KSM Project’s 35,000-page application took nearly seven years to prepare – hundreds of people from more than 20 world-class consulting firms provided input and studies – and the design of the copper-gold-silver-molybdenum mine located 65 kilometres northwest of Stewart, BC has been updated several times to reflect concerns of government regulators and local citizens, including Treaty and First Nations. “We are pleased Ministers Bennett and Polak, through their issuance of the EA Certificate, have recognized the KSM Project will not result in significant adverse effects and Seabridge has met all requirements for consultation,” said Brent Murphy, Seabridge Vice President of Environmental Affairs. “It’s taken more than six years and we would like to thank each person who contributed to ensuring the KSM Project is environmentally and socially responsible, sustainable and economically feasible.” The BC Environmental Assessment approval is a key step in the permitting process but more remains to be done. Seabridge will now focus on obtaining Federal approval, approximately 200 additional operating permits, strategic partnerships and financing prior to beginning construction. Seabridge looks forward to continuing to work with the community during this time. How KSM Benefits BC KSM is an important anchor for the economic development of Northwestern BC. To date, Seabridge has spent more than $176 million in exploration, engineering and environ-

mental work, and 80 percent of this total has been spent here in BC. The company expects to spend an additional $29 million in 2014. During the five-year construction process $3.5 billion will be spent directly in BC for goods and services and the mine will directly employ 1,800 people. During the 52-year production life of the mine, 1,040 people will be continuously employed and $42 billion in total GDP will be generated for Canada, including an annual contribution to BC GDP of more than $400 million. Community Meetings in August As they have done since 2008, Seabridge team members will participate in a set of community meetings during late August. The meetings will provide an update on the KSM Project, including a presentation of KSM water quality and fish habitat management plans identifying how the company will ensure that any water used in the mining process or that comes into contact with operations will not harm fish habitat and aquatic life. Watch for notices in your community papers for the dates and locations of the meetings for your opportunity to learn more.

segukla and Kitwanga. TransCanada, the company currently doing pre-work on two natural gas pipelines passing through the area, said it has a good relationship with the Gitxsan but in light of the eviction notices for all industry, they are respecting the Gitxsan’s desires. “We are seeking clarification from them to determine if our environmental and geotechnical fieldwork on their traditional territory can continue,” said a statement from TransCanada last week.

DISTRICT OF STEWART
Circulation Supervisor
Canada’s Most Northerly Ice-Free Port
INVITATION TO TENDER STEWART LOG TERMINAL - UPGRADES TO LOG LOADING INFRASTRUCTURE BACKGROUND The District of Stewart is Canada’s most northerly ice-free port located in one of the most resource-rich regions in North America. At the end of the Portland Canal, Stewart has a continuous 100 year port history in supporting mining and forestry development. The District owns a log storage and handling facility on the Arrow Dock Causeway along the west side of the mouth of the Bear River. Several forest product processing and exporting companies operate out of the District of Stewart Log Storage and Handling Facility. The aging log loading infrastructure is in need of repair. Matched funding has been awarded to the District through a contribution agreement (not a grant) from the federal government through the Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor Initiative, Transportation Infrastructure Fund, to assist with an upgrade project to rehabilitate and upgrade the facility’s log skids. The log handling facility has 16 log skids, or slides, made from long steel pipes that are filled with concrete and welded together which are anchored to buried steel and/or log foundation structures. This project will rehabilitate and upgrade all 16 skids. SCOPE OF WORK The scope of the work is to include: • Address grade issues and gravel erosion: Procure and install 800 yards of gravel and 700 yards of 6”-8” shot rock. • Gravel must be placed and sloped between all groups of skids to provide Wheel Loader access to the water’s edge. This sloping of gravel should run 30ft from the topside of the log yard towards the waters direction across the entire log facility • Rock placement on the skids should commence at the 30ft mark of the pipes extending 20ft towards the waters direction, placement of shot rock under all pipes at a depth of 2ft and spanning across the entire skid width, extending wide 3ft outside each outer pipe. • Repair and replace steel log skid structures: Starting at the south end of the log handling facility the skids have all been numbered. Skids consisting of 2 pipes wide are regular and 3 pipes wide are short log skids. All skid pipes are 14-16” in diameter and are welded together to a length of 60 – 70ft. Pipes are filled with cement and capped on both ends. A 3ft anchor pipe filled with cement, welded at the top end of the pipe is buried into the ground for support. Side plates connecting the anchor pipe to skid plates must be installed to new pipes. Channel iron and flat bar runs along the sliding surface of all pipes for a minimum of 20ft for protection.

Northwest victorious at NAIG Contributed
THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
REGINA - Two Northwest boys soccer teams finished strong at the North American Indiågenous Games (NAIG) 2014 in Regina two weeks ago, with the U16 boys team breaking team records and claiming gold, and the U18 boys team grabbing silver. The teams qualified to represent as Team BC at the NAIG after winning provincials in August 2013, and headed to Regina July 20-27 to see how they stacked up against teams from across the continent. And they stacked up better than fine. The U18 boys claimed silver following a hard final match that finished 4-0 for Team Saskatchewan after besting Team Manitoba earlier in the round robin. And Team BC’s U16 boys played a tough round robin and final against the other top team in their division, the hometeam Team Saskatchewan. The final was close, but Team BC never gave up the lead, and ultimately won 2-1 to claim gold on the final day of events. “The team played with tempo and grace on the field,” wrote team manager Brian Grant in an email. Grant said notables on the team were Clark Mathews Jr., who scored in all round robin games, and Team BC flag bearer Joel Patsey who scored a hat trick in the team’s game against Northwest Territories. And on defence, he noted stellar performances by Joshua Wesley and Richard Hillis. “Great Team effort from this team, destined to be together,” he said. “Coaching was also key to winning. Coach Chris Daniels and assistant Brennan Patsey matched their experiences and prevailed.” He also made note of the efforts of Toni Muldoe. Muldoe “started all of this with her fiancée Chris Dan-
Soccer players make memories Contributed THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR
KITIMAT - Northwest soccer skills were well represented at the 2014 BC Summer Games held recently in Nanaimo. Fourteen boys from around the Northwest were chosen to participate in this once in a lifetime event. The boys played against teams from Vancouver-Squamish, Cariboo, Fraser Valley and Vancouver Island. Although the boys did not finish the soccer tournament as well as they had hoped, the boys were great ambassadors for Northwest B.C. and had a wonderful experience that they won’t soon forget.

Team BC also won both the

PRINCE RUPERT - The Central Interior Hockey League (CIHL) has made some changes to its 2014-15 season and there are no more free passes to the playoffs. Because of the Houston Luckies’ recent departure from the league, the Prince Rupert Rampage will occupy one spot in a four-team West division vying for only two playoff spots. “With the [Houston Forest Products] mill closing, [the team] couldn’t get a player commitment this year to field a team,” said CIHL president J.C. Brown last week. After the league’s annual general meeting in late May, the now seven-team league will play in one overall division for the regular season but for the purposes of the playoffs, two spots are up for grabs between Rupert, the Terrace River Kings, the Smithers Steelheads and the Kitimat Ice Demons, and two spots can be taken between the eastern teams of the Williams Lake Stampeders, the Quesnel Kangaroos and the Lac La Hache Tomahawks. The Luckies finished in last place in the West division in 2013-14 and won one game in their first-round playoff series with the Kangaroos before bowing out to them in three games. “It’s a tougher go to make the playoffs this year so it’ll be interesting,” said Brown. Last year, the Rupert Rampage finished in fourth place in the West with a 7-101 record. They fell to the River Kings in the first round of the playoffs. In addition to Houston’s subtraction, the league will now reduce the number of games for each team to 16 instead of the usual 18 to account for the loss of the Luckies. As for the technical rules on the ice, there are no changes from last season. “That stuff’s all per BC Hockey and sometimes as much as we want to change it, we can’t,” said Brown. “It’s all governed by BC Hockey’s senior men’s rules.” The 2014-15 season schedule is expected to be released later this month.
