Hazelton protestors say ‘no’ to LNG plans By Alicia Bridges THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

NEW HAZELTON - Gitxsan hereditary chiefs from the Spookw and Luutkudziiwus groups led a blockade of Highway 16 in New Hazelton last Saturday, Dec. 6 to protest environmental approvals issued by the provincial government for three LNG projects in northern B.C. More than 50 people, some wearing traditional Gitxsan button blankets, gathered outside the Skeena Bakery with banners and signs before blockading the highway at about 2 p.m. that day. New Hazelton RCMP Corp. Robert Donovan said the blockade, which lasted about 10 minutes, had minimal impact on highway traffic because most motorists were able to make their way around the protest. He said the protestors were

peaceful and responded to RCMP requests to clear the highway. Spookw chiefs said the blockade was held to send a message to the provincial government that they oppose LNG developments on their territories. The B.C. Environmental Assessment Office last month issued environmental assessment certificates to the Westcoast Connector Gas Transmission pipeline, the Pacific NorthWest LNG export facility on Lelu Island south of Prince Rupert, and the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission pipeline. Chiefs said all land access to industrial projects west of New Hazelton must pass through their territory, and that their opposition to the LNG projects was non-negotiable. Hereditary chief Guuhadakwa (Norm Stephens) said he op-

posed the developments because of the potential impacts on salmon populations in the Skeena estuary. “The importance of the salmon to the Gitxsan people far outweighs any of the financial benefits that are and may be offered in the future for these LNG pipelines,” he said. “The risk to the salmon is far to great to allow any pipelines to cross our territories and none will. “We will not lose the salmon on our watch.” Luutkudziiwus hereditary chiefs, who have been using a checkpoint to block access to their Madii Lii territory since August, were also present at the blockade. Chief Luutkudziiwus (Charlie Wright) said TransCanada’s proposed Prince Rupert Gas Transmission pipeline would not

be allowed on Madii Lii territory. “Our Madii Lii territory is not for sale or use by the province of B.C. or TransCanada, a mere third party developer that has no understanding of what they are proposing to do, has no idea of our culture, no idea of our heritage,” he said. The Gitxsan Development Corporation is currently facilitating negotiations between Gitxsan chiefs and the B.C. government over an LNG benefit agreement which would guarantee financial benefits, including employment for the Gitxsan nation. The Spookw and Luutkudziiwus hereditary chiefs said they denounced the offer because it attempted to bind the entire Gitxsan nation from taking action against the pipeline projects. They also say the development corporation does not speak for all Gitxsan.

Second Rupert area LNG plant put on hold by its developers By Shaun Thomas

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Pacific NorthWest LNG announced last week it is not expecting to make a final investment decision by the end of the year as initially anticipated. “Petronas and its partners have decided to defer the project’s $36 billion final investment decision pending further clarity on substantive items of importance to ensure that critical project components align with the economic viability of the project and competition from other LNG producing countries,” reads a company statement. “Costs associated with the pipeline and LNG facility remain challenging and must be reduced further before a positive FID can be undertaken. At the same time, Pacific NorthWest LNG will continue work to secure necessary

regulatory and other approvals from the Government of Canada.” The announcement came following a meeting with provincial government officials earlier in the week. The company said the meeting “brought resolution to key provincial policy matters that provided added certainty”. The announcement, included statements from Minister of Natural Gas Development Coleman and Premier Christy Clark, said the company will conotinue to invest in the project while delayed. “PETRONAS, through its upstream unconventional company, Progress Energy Canada Ltd. and its partners, will continue to invest in its natural gas development in British Columbia at a measured pace until such time as a positive FID is made,” read the issued statement. Tan Sri Shamsul Azhar Abbas, President and Group Chief

Executive Officer of PETRONAS, said there is no timeline in place for a final investment decision. “PETRONAS hopes that all outstanding factors can be resolved as soon as possible to enable the Final Investment Decision to be made within the identified LNG supply and demand window. This is vital in light of the current intense market environment and for Pacific NorthWest LNG not to lose out on long term contracts to competitive United States LNG projects,” he said. Coleman said he was consulted on the statement and remains optimistic about the project going ahead. “It was always clear that once they got our piece completed, they would move on to making sure their numbers across the board with their partners work,” Coleman said.

KITIMAT - In a speech to the Vancouver Board of Trade on December 1, Alberta Premier Jim Prentice called pipeline proposals — including Northern Gateway — as “nation building” proj-

ects, saying such developments have the potential “to transform our country for the better.” Prentice calls the revenues that oil sands expansion will generate as “long term” and will be sustained over 50 years. He gave Canada a timeline of no later than 2020 to get pipelines built, otherwise the

country’s pipeline capacity will fall short of new production in Alberta, and will affect the value the country receives on oil. “We will start to get bottlenecks,” he said. “We will be selling Canadian energy to U.S. marketplace at deeply discounted prices.”

Threat leads to second Prince Rupert business evacuation By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - On Friday, Dec. 5, the Northern Savings Credit Union Prince Rupert branch and head office was evacuated by Prince Rupert RCMP after an employee received a call alluding to a threat to the building. RCMP shut down Third Ave. West for approximately an hour while officers

searched through the building. “The investigation is ongoing, but we have deemed the building safe,” said Const. Matt Ericson. This was the second time in two weeks a Prince Rupert business has received a threat. While a bomb-sniffing dog was brought in to Safeway on Nov. 26, Const. Ericson said that was not the case this time. “The dog wasn’t needed

simply given the nature of the building. A bank is very secure and there are a lot of places the public are not permitted. Safeway is much larger, the public is allowed anywhere and there are a lot of containers there,” he said. Anyone with information regarding this ongoing investigation is asked to call the RCMP at 250-6270700 or call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-2228477.

Former mayor Jack Talstra passes away TERRACE - The Terrace mayor who took the city through one of its darkest periods when a major forest industry employer closed down and who then laid the foundations for an economic turnaround has died. Jack Talstra was 68. He passed away in Mills Memorial Hospital, surrounded by family, early in the morning of Dec. 5. Talstra served as mayor from 1985 to 2008, a period of 23 years, the longest anyone has served in that capacity. That period took in an economic revival of the city’s fortunes when a forest products company called Repap opened a new Skeena Cellulose sawmill here in 1988 but also years of instability when the company ran into financial troubles in 1997, ultimately resulting in it closing down completely early in the next decade. Without the city’s largest industrial taxpayer, Talstra and the city council of that period trimmed the city’s expenses and operations. But he also took part in a campaign to position the city as the northwest’s shopping and service centre to surrounding communities, pursuing big box stores and other amenities. Talstra also lobbied the provincial government aggressively for ownership of several thousand acres of crown land off of Hwy 37 South just south of the Northwest Regional Airport on which to lo-

cate taxpaying industries. Known first as the airport industrial lands, it’s now known formally as the Skeena Industrial Development Park in partnership with the Kitselas First Nation, half of which has now been sold to a Chinese economic development agency. The city just last month renamed the main road into the industrial park as Jack Talstra Way. Following the complete closure of the Skeena Cellulose mill, Talstra placed the city as a financial contributor to a locallyformed company called the Terrace Lumber Company to purchase the facility. That took place in the spring of 2005 but market and other conditions forced the mill’s closure again the following year and it was eventually dismantled. The city ended up with the Keith Ave. acreage on which the mill and accompanying log yard was located, making it one of the larger holders of real estate within city boundaries. Portions of the property have since been sold off and the city has now drawn up a concept plan to convert a portion of the property into a mixture of housing and commercial development. Talstra-led city councils spent years working at various plans for either a brand new multiplex or addition to the civic arena. That eventually culminated in a second sheet of ice and other improvements to

the existing arena building with a grand opening taking place in November 2008. In addition to the local economy and city works, Talstra was also a strong advocate for regional governance connections. At one point, he advocated for the creation of a coalition of local municipal and aboriginal governments along the Skeena River aiming for consensus agreements on resource use and other issues. An early champion of what is now the Northwest Transmission Line, Talstra and then-city councillor Rich McDaniel travelled to Alaska in 2006

JACK TALSTRA ence exploring the idea of connecting southeast Alaska to B.C.’s energy grid. Talstra was named a Freeman of the City in a ceremony held at city hall Nov. 24, one of just four people to receive

that recognition over the years. Pernarowski, who officiated at the Freeman ceremony, said “Jack Talstra showed outstanding community leadership during his long service as alderman and mayor.” Illness had prevented Talstra from attending either ceremony but he was represented at both by family members. Talstra received a first civic honour in 2009 by being made a member of the Order of Terrace and he also received the 2012 Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal. He leaves wife Hilda, five children and eight grandchildren.

Lack of safe transportation on highway upsetting for MLA Rice By Shaun Thomas

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - North Coast MLA Jennifer Rice is seeing red after a final update report on the Missing Women Commission of Inquiry, released on Dec. 6, lacked any update or information about affordable public transportation along the Highway of Tears. “It’s been two years since the Missing Women’s Commission said offering safe, accessible transportation along the Highway of Tears was an urgent recommendation which should be

implemented immediately. Now the Minister of Justice is saying that this, and other unfinished recommendations, simply aren’t important,” said Rice. “Women in these communities are often forced to make difficult choices about getting to and from regional centres like Terrace and Prince Rupert, choices that can put them at risk, and instead of giving those women access to safe affordable transportation, the B.C. Liberals put out a website that lists limousines as a transportation option.” However, Attorney General and Minister of Justice Suzanne

Anton noted that this report is not the end of all work on the file. “While today’s report provides our final, official update on two years of progress since Commissioner Oppal released his report, I want to be clear that our action on his recommendations will continue,” she said. “I know Transportation Minister Todd Stone and his ministry are continuing to build on the extensive meetings they’ve had with First Nations and community leaders around transportation challenges along the Highway 16 corridor.”

“New” fire chief in Prince Rupert By Martina Perry THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - A young Rupertite got to experience what it’s like being Prince Rupert’s fire chief last week thanks to the Prince Rupert Fire Rescue Department. “It’s all part of Fire Prevention Week,” explained Jeff Beckwith, Prince Rupert’s deputy fire chief, noting the event usually

takes place in October but was delayed because of the teachers’ labour dispute. Students in Grades 1 to 3 are eligible for the annual contest, with this year’s winner being Kailyn Jackson-Hill, a Grade 1 student from Roosevelt Park Elementary. Jackson-Hill was picked up at her school by members of the Prince Rupert Fire Rescue Department in a fire trucks and

brought to the fire hall for a tour. Firefighters then took the contest winner to Safeway to perform a mock fire safety inspection, which ended up in the bakery. Thanks to Safeway, JacksonHill was able to bring a large cake back with her to school to share with her classmates. Before dropping Jackson-Hill back off, firefighters treated the fire chief for a day to lunch at McDonald’s.

Corporations help breakfast programs TERRACE - A national charity has added a number of northwestern B.C. schools, including three from Terrace and Thornhill, to a list of those offering breakfast programs financed directly by corporations. Rio Tinto Alcan had been paying for breakfasts at six northwestern schools and is now extending that to five more schools through a $250,000 three-year commitment. And $100,000 from TransCanada Pipelines for four northwestern schools over three years means both corporations will feed an estimated 1,000 students a year through the Breakfast Club of Canada. Rio Tinto Alcan’s two local schools are Skeena Middle School and Cassie Hall Elementary while Thornhill Primary is the local TransCanada breakfast school. Representatives from the charity and the two companies were in town this week at the schools, helping school employees serve up breakfasts.Money not only buys food but equipment such as toasters, grills and dishes and, for Thornhill Primary, a dishwasher. Representatives from both Rio Tinto Alcan and TransCanada Pipelines, which has been chosen to build two natural gas pipelines across the north, one to a planned LNG plant at Kitimat and one to another one in Prince Rupert, said it was important for the companies to be involved in communities in which they are active. Sandra Dube, the First Nations support worker at Skeena Middle School who singlehandedly runs the program, says between 30 and 40 students a day have a breakfast consisting of either French toast or pancakes, yogurt, cereal, fruit and juice. “I’ve been here seven years and at the start there was fruit roll-ups and fruit cups. We’ve been really making an effort to make it more nutritious,” she said. Skeena principal Phil Barron estimated the breakfast program is used by approximately eight per cent of the school’s 580 students. Last year the breakfast program cost approximately $7,000, a figure he expects will

rise this year because of inflation as well as increased demand. “There’s a social aspect to this as well. Having students eat together sets a tone. We want a positive school climate and this starts off the morning well,” said Barron. The school also draws on money from the provincial government through the school

district and profits from canteen sales and gym rentals to finance breakfast as well as lunches. The Thornhill Primary breakfast program is expected to feed 30 students a day at an annual cost of $10,000 and principal Darlene Bragg-Hounsell said that number could rise depending upon the day. It’ll be the first time there is a breakfast pro-

gram at Thornhill Primary which had been offering muffins and other goods at snack time paid for by the province through the school district. “There is no stigma attached,” said BraggHounsell. “This is for any student. What we really want to do here is promote good nutrition.” Ben Neumer, one of

the Breakfast Club of Canada representatives in Terrace last week for its introduction at Skeena and Thornhill, said the charity acts as an efficient way for corporations to finance breakfast programs because it has an established system in place. “Our goal is to really help students so they can have their first class on a full stomach,” he said.

Rupert Skating Club hosts Kla How Ya meet By Kevin Campbell

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The music of Taylor Swift, Michael Jackson and more distinctive artists filled the Jim Ciccone Arena on Sunday morning to celebrate the finale of the Kla How Ya Interclub meet, hosted by the Prince Rupert Skating Club. And it was a comfortable third-place finish for Mickaela Ward and Brianna Hagen in the silver and gold women’s interpretive skates, respectively, to cap off a successful event for all members of the Prince Rupert skating club over the weekend. Amy McNabb represented Rupert with her strong performance in group two of bronze wom-

en’s interpretive as well. A panel of judges took over the visitor’s bench of the hockey arena and skaters from Prince Rupert, Terrace, Smithers, Hazelton, Houston, Kitimat, Vanderhoof, Quesnel and Prince George all took in the Kla How Ya – an annual showcase of the top figure skaters in Northwest B.C. Swift’s Shake it Off and a Jackson compilation including Thriller had the audience applauding for every salchow, axel, flip and toe jump the talented young skaters were displaying. Along with McNabb, Hagen and Ward, Wiccem Toye-Oesch skated in STAR 1 – boys and girls group one for Prince Rupert; Renee Charlton followed with a skate in STAR 1 - boys and girls group two; and Jessica Slocombe participated in STAR 2 - girls group one. Becca Phillips showed her stuff in STAR 2 - girls group three, skating with fellow Rupertites Emily Hartling and Emily Horne, while McNabb also

took part in STAR 4 – girls 13 and over. Ward competed in STAR 5 – girls 13 and over and Slocombe also skated in Elements 1 – group one. Elements 1 – group three found McNabb taking to the ice once again and Ward followed her in Elements 2 – group two. On the final day, Phillips finished fourth in PreIntroductory Interpretive – group three while Hartling and Horne both withdrew from the same group. Ward’s 29.71 score for the Silver Women’s Interpretive was a crowd-pleaser as was Hagen’s 37.50 score in the gold. Taking gold with a score of 40.88 was Kitimat’s Snow Valley Skating Club’s Candace Abercrombie with the winner of Silver Women going to Jesse Thandi of Terrace. Chantal Gammie from Smithers was the runnerup in Silver while in Gold, Samantha Follows took second and Katie Ball withdrew from the category.

ANNA KILLEN / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - The 2015 Canada Winter Games torch relay made stops in the northwest last week, making it to Terrace on Saturday afternoon for a big relay leg and regional torch celebration. This bus was filled with the Terrace torchbearers, including soccer player Josh Grant, at right, the youngest relayer, and Yvonne Moen, local historian and oldest relayer, to the left of Grant. The relay began at Kitsumkalum and travelled through town to George Little Park.

Caledonia Sr. Girls finish strong at provincials

By Anna Killen

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Caledonia’s Sr. Girls volleyball team was “definitely in the running for the hardware” at this year’s provincial championships, losing only twice – to the two teams who placed first and second – and finishing fifth overall. That’s the best finish the team has seen at a provincial championship, and a testament to the years of dedication the team has put forward since they formed in middle school. “We definitely peaked at the right time,” said coach Carmen Didier in an email after the tournament. “Very proud of all the girls.” Caledonia entered AAA Sr. Girls Provincials, held this year in Parksville, ranked eighth in the province after a successful season that began at a tournament in Alberta the weekend school was back in session after the

teacher labour dispute ended. The first day of play saw Cal beat Clayton Heights and McRoberts in two straight sets a piece before falling to Timberline in two, the first set a close 25-20 and the second 25-11. Day two, Caledonia found College Heights’ number before getting knocked out of medal contention by the team who would go on to win provincials for the third year in a row, South Delta. Caledonia then took on the hometeam, Ballenas, in two sets before taking on Dover in the 5th vs. 6th consolation final, which the team would win in two straight sets to end the championship tournament on a high note. Another high note: Caledonia’s Cassidy Kitchen was named on the First All-Star Team. This marks the end of a successful high school volleyball career for the majority of the girls – all but two are graduating this year.

Kitimat Ice Demons squeeze a win out of Rupert Rampage By Cameron Orr THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - The Kitimat Ice Demons just squeaked by with a win against the Prince Rupert Rampage on November 29. The Demons wrapped up their match 5-4 to the Rampage, even as the Rampage spent the better part of the third period rapidly gaining on the Demons’ early lead. The Ice Demons opened up scoring late in the first period with a goal by Jeremy Brady. Prince Rupert tied it up again near the end, but the Demons pushed hard in the sec-

ond period to give a substantial 4-1 lead. The first two minutes of the third saw the Rampage and the Demons each scoring, before the Rampage concluded with two more goals minutes later. That 5-4 lead by the Demons was held from then on until the end. The win came on the heels of an Ice Demons loss to the Terrace River Kings the night before on home ice. The match was notably rougher with 73 minutes of penalties being handed out over the evening. The River Kings got an early

lead with a goal just 30 seconds into the first period with a shot by Chapen Leblond. The Ice Demons worked back up to tie the game by the end of the first 2-2, but let go of that lead in the second and had it slip just out of grasp, with Rajan Sangha earning Terrace’s sixth and final goal for the night in the third, ending it 6-4. The Kitimat team next faces the Terrace River Kings and the Smithers Steelheads on the December 12 and 13 weekend, in two away games. The next home game is December 27 against the Prince Rupert Rampage.

PRINCE RUPERT - Registration for the 2015 National Aboriginal Business Opportunities Conference (NABOC) is now underway, with the event scheduled to run April 28 to April 30. The 2015 NABOC will bring hundreds to Prince Rupert at the end of April, with the upcoming conference having the potential to bring in more delegates than 2014. Speakers will be making their presentations at the Lester Centre of the Arts at the 2015-event, which has provided an increase in available seating for delegates. NABOC organizer Geoff Greenwell of the 2G Group said there will be room for 500 people, a slight increase from 2014’s capacity of 420. “We expect to see a lot more international delegates,” Greenwell said. “It’s become a very popular event.” The three-day networking event showcases successful private sector and Aboriginal business ventures, allowing First Nations communities and businesses to meet with private sector organizations. The 2G Group is expecting there will be 100 Aboriginal businesses and communities from around the region represented at the conference, in addition to 250 private sector corporations. Greenwell said 2G Group is carefully monitoring activity in the region to decide who will speak in April. “We’ve flushed out the topics that

Geoff Greenwell will be in the agenda and we’ll populate the topics with speakers in January,” he said. Things will start off differently at the 2015 NABOC, with the first day of the conference being exclusive to First Nations delegates. “That day there will be a session on impact benefit agreements. We’ll be bringing in some of Canada’s top legal experts who work in that field to lead some discussion amongst the First Nations groups,” he said, adding the following two days will be open to all. The North Coast Job Fair will once again be included in the conference, and Greenwell is confident the number of exhibitors will be at capacity. So far, this year’s major NABOC sponsors are Opus Stewart Weir, SMIT Marine and Northern Savings Credit Union, with organizers continuing to call out for additional sponsors to help run the event. Registration is currently underway for delegates, sponsors and exhibitors. Those interested in signing up can register at 2ggroup.ca.
