Target closing all Canadian stores
“

We had great expectations for Canada but our early missteps proved too difficult to overcome,”
Wish to apply for project funding? The Regional District of East Kootenay is now accepting applications for projects that benet the following areas:
Brian Cornell, Target chairman CEO

Cranbrook’s Target store opened in May of 2013 and will be closed within 20 weeks. by Jeff Nagel U.S. retailer Target is abandoning its shortlived foray into Canada. The company says it will close all 133 Canadian stores, including 19 in B.C.. It employs 17,600 people in Canada and the closures could throw thousands out of work in this province. Target chairman CEO Brian Cornell said there was no realistic scenario for the money-losing Canadian arm to reach profitability until at least 2021. It was granted protection from its creditors in Ontario Supreme Court Thursday. “We had great expectations for Canada but our early missteps proved too difficult to overcome,” Cornell said. “Personally, this was a very difficult decision, but it was the right decision for our company.” The Minneapolisbased retailer has B.C. locations in Campbell River, Courtenay, Nanaimo, Victoria, Saanich, Burnaby, Rich-
mond, Coquitlam, Delta, Surrey, Langley, Maple Ridge, Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Kamloops, Kelowna, Vernon, Cranbrook and Prince George. Target stores will remain open during a court-supervised liquidation. Target is placing $70 million in an employee trust to ensure a minimum 16 weeks compensation, including wage and benefit coverage for workers not needed for the full wind-down period. The decision came after an unsuccessful holiday season, Cornell said, despite best efforts by Target Canada to win over shoppers. “There is no doubt that the next several weeks will be difficult, but we will make every effort to handle our exit in an appropriate and orderly way.” The American retail giant launched its Canadian expansion in 2013, buying up former Zellers locations and arranging grocery stock through Sobey’s. SFU business and

marketing professor Lindsay Meredith said Target’s invasion of Canada was misguided from the start. It launched with too many stores at once, he said, and it immediately turned off Canadians savvy to lower U.S. pricing when it instead charged prices in line with Canadian retailers. “That was exactly what Canadians did not want to hear,” Meredith said. When stores opened they were missing some of the U.S. brands in home decor and fashion shoppers wanted, he added. Further blows that entrenched the retailer as a “screw-up” in Canadian minds included a massive data breach at the U.S. parent and recurring problems with empty store shelves. “Empty shelves is a retailer’s kiss of death,” he said. The latest challenge for Target has been the dive in the loonie to 84 cents U.S., which has left the company bridging a growing gap between what it pays for stock in the U.S. and what it sells it for in Canada. But Meredith said he was surprised Target opted for a complete Canadian pull-out, coupled with creditor pro-
tection, rather than what he calls a “hedge hog defence” of retrenching to a small number of more profitable stores in key markets. Big winners from Target’s demise will be established retail and grocery chains like Wal-Mart, Loblaws, Canadian Tire and even Sport Chek, Meredith predicted. “All these guys will be happy – they just got rid of a major competitor that could have hurt them.” He expects the stores will be sold piecemeal to multiple buyers “who will bite off a piece of the whale carcass” rather than to one replacement chain. Other retailers have also struggled lately, including Sears, and fashion outlets including Mexx, Jacob and Smart Set also intend to close. But Meredith said Target’s withdrawal will send a particularly strong warning to other U.S. retailers considering Canadian expansion, such as Nordstrom’s. United Food and Commercial Workers local 1518 spokesman Jason Mann said Target’s failure to hire former Zellers workers meant it lacked staff experience to make the operation work.

The pest management methods proposed for use include physical (non-chemical) treatment methods (selective slashing, girdling, hand pulling, weed trimming, mowing, pruning, geotextiles and stump removal), the release of biological control agents (insects), cultural control methods (grass seeding), and the use of pesticides (herbicides). The common name (and examples of trade names) of the pesticides proposed for use under this plan include: aminopyralid, aminocyclopyrachlor, chlorsulfuron (Telar), clopyralid (Transline), 2-4 Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, dicamba (Vanquish), diuron (Karmex),flumioxazin, fluroxpyr, glyphosate (Roundup, Roundup Weathermax, Glyphos, Vantage, Vantage Plus), hexazinone (Velpar), indaziflam, imazapyr (Arsenal), metsulfuronmethyl, picloram (Tordon 22K), simazine (Simadex, Princep) and triclopyr (Garlon 4 or Garlon Ultra). Application methods include: foliar, soil, wick/wipe-on and cut surface, using backpack, wick/wipe-on applicator, squirt bottle, injection tools and handgun (power hose and nozzle). The proposed duration of the PMP is from May 1, 2015 to April 30, 2020. A draft copy of the proposed PMP and maps of the proposed treatment areas may be examined online at fortisbc.com or by contacting the Applicant listed above. A person wishing to contribute information about a proposed treatment site, relevant to the development of the pest management plan, may send copies of the information to the applicant within 30 days of the publication of this notice and before February 13, 2015.

The Weekday View
Opinion: No silver lining in Target closure by Brian Coombs It was just over a yearand-a-half ago that the city was filled with excitement at the opening of the Cranbrook Target store. This past week the city is filled with disappointment at the upcoming closure of that very same big box store. Now Target has had its share of difficulties since its foray into Canada. Customers were expecting prices that could compete with Walmart—that didn’t happen. Customers expected a huge range of items they couldn’t get before—that didn’t happen. Customers expected, at least, fully stocked shelves—that didn’t happen either. It’s understandable that Target wanted to test the waters in Canada. After all, Canadians, including local East Kootenay residents, filled their U.S. stores. But Target didn’t test the waters; it jumped in with both feet first and either by naivety or hubris, felt it could dominate the market immediately by opening up 133 locations. What it didn’t account for, at least locally, was the market.
There are chain outlets out there that cater to the wealthy, or at least people willing to go into vast amounts of debt to appear wealthy. These stores tend to do well and maintain a small, but consistent presence in Canada. Then there are the chain stores that cater to people on a budget. There are more and more of these across the country and business seems to be good for them. The chain stores that cater to a true middle class however, are dwindling—much like the class it aspires to sell to. Zellers, the store that Target replaced, was a store that sought the budget-minded middle class. Sears is currently undergoing troubles of its own. The hard truth is that while Target in the U.S. is a very budget-friendly operation, the higher cost of the goods it sold here in Canada require an adequately paid, comfortable populace to make a go of their stores. Another hard truth is that Target never really appeared to have any of its retail ducks in a row in its Canadian foray. According to a Target representative, while
he didn’t know the exact number of local employees, on average the chain hired between 100 and 150 people for our store. Regardless of the reasons for the chain’s Canadian demise, in a city the size of Cranbrook, this many jobs gone is a tragedy. Those people will now be out of work. Their paychecks will be missed by local merchants, and a good portion of those businesses are getting by on very slim margins in the first place. As for the owners of the Tamarack Centre, we can only hope that some big retailer will step up and find it financially beneficial to open up an outlet. Cranbrook’s Mayor, Lee Pratt, said that the city is always looking for new business to set up here, but admitted that this particular blow to the city’s economy will be tough to come back from. There is no silver lining in this upcoming closure. Local employers should know, however, that every Cranbrook Target employee was courteous, helpful, knowledgeable and a benefit to their organization. Keep that in mind as many of them will be knocking on your door in the near future.
Letter: Let’s get our Canada back Do you remember when people from many countries put Canadian flags on their backpacks when traveling? Everyone wanted to be seen as Canadian because being Canadian allowed safe travel all over the world. Things have changed. Now not even Canadians are necessarily willing to plaster their luggage with the flag like we once did.
Canada’s reputation on the world stage has changed significantly and we have Stephen Harper and the Conservative government to thank for that. Do you know what thought keeps coming to mind these days when I think about this country? I want our Canada back! Canada used to be recognized for helping to keep the peace.
Canadian troops were very good at it, and we were respected around the world for our leadership in bringing people together. Now it seems like we go to war whenever certain nations ask us to. Not only are we putting our sons and daughters in harms way, we are compounding the problem by treating our returning soldiers very poorly. It is heartbreaking to see how the Conservative government treats our veterans. Years ago I made
the commitment that I would not complain about an issue unless I was willing to do something about it. I miss the Canada that I love and cherish, and I am concerned for its future. I know many of you feel the same way, and with the upcoming Federal election, we are going to get the chance to do something about it. Let’s get our Canada back. ~Wayne Stetski Cranbrook BC

Bountiful is located south of Creston, just north of the Idaho border, and it’s members follow a fundamentalist form of Mormonism that allows polygamy, which the mainstream church banned in 1890.

Nominees must be a resident of an Electoral Area and make voluntary contributions to the spirit, culture or people of the community. Nomination forms can be filled out or downloaded from the RDEK website (www.rdek. bc.ca) and can also be picked up at the Cranbrook and Columbia Valley RDEK offices, from the Electoral Area Advisory Commissions and various Community Associations. The deadline for nominations is February 6, 2015.

Western Financial Group reflects on another successful year

As the year came to a close, Fernie’s Western Financial Group
recalled their 2014 accomplishments, which included the Shave & Shove fundraiser for local charity Friends for Friends and the Snowflake Tree Fundraiser for the Fernie Women’s
Resource Centre. Behind those accomplishments was branch manager Shannon Willford. “My utmost desire is to be part of a local community, and coming
to Fernie has been a big experience for me because people really do believe in the community spirit here,” Willford said. “Being in a smaller community, the spirit is so much stron-
Getting hitched? MR MIKES® SteakhouseCasual wants to help you pull off the perfect proposal this Valentine’s Day Wanted! Individuals looking to propose to their special someone this Valentine’s
Day. MR MIKES SteakhouseCasual in Cranbrook has launched its Say Yes at MR MIKES campaign and is encouraging guests looking to pop the big question to share their love story online in return for a chance to
win $1,500 towards the proposal. The quest to celebrate love at MR MIKES will run from now until Sunday, January 25 and promises to be top secret. Want to impress your better half with the surprise proposal of his or
ger and more prevalent. I love it in Fernie.” In December, Western Financial released a profile on Willford, highlighting her accomplishments since moving to Fernie at the end of April. During the Shave & Shove fundraiser, the Fernie Western Financial branch was able to raise $5,000 by eating pie and shaving heads for individuals battling cancer in the community. More recently, Willford and the Fernie branch put together a snowflake fundraiser, where locals made donations to those in need. Fernie’s Western Financial Group was able to raise $1,500 for the Women’s Resource Centre this past holiday season through the snowflake fundraiser. “We wanted to help families in need, so we went to the Fernie Women’s Resource Centre and they’ve been able to help us,” Willford noted. But the branch man-
ager, who has been in the insurance industry for 22 years, has had her share of struggles. The avid ultra-trail running athlete was hospitalized in 2009 with a bilateral pulmonary embolism — blood clots in her lungs. “I had no idea what had occurred and I had actually still been training with this clot,” said Willford, who has competed in half ironman races, mountain bike endurance races, martial arts competitions, amateur boxing competitions and body building competitions. Willford, however, didn’t let her diagnosis hold her back. “For me, I have never looked at things as a negative,” she noted. “There’s always a way to move forward and that’s always been my motto.” Willford went on to say, “I’m back where I was and even stronger now.”
her dreams but don’t know how, when, or can’t afford it? Then leave it to the MR MIKES team. They’ll work with you to make this life-changing event an occasion to remember. MR MIKES will even throw-in a complimentary dinner to make sure you’re not celebrating the good news on an empty stomach. “Whether their first date was at MR MIKES, we’re their go-to for a date night, or they just have an appreciation for great comfort food in a casual and fun environment, we want to help one of our guests write the next chapter of their love story,” says Chiyoko Kakino, Senior Vice President, Brand Strategy and Marketing, RAMMP Hospitality Inc., the company behind MR MIKES®. “We love creating memories at MR MIKES, and our Say Yes at MR MIKES campaign is going to be one to remember. We can’t wait to help one of our guests create this surprise of a lifetime.” The Say Yes at MR MIKES contest is open to residents in all 24 MR MIKES communities across British
Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan. To tell your love story, simply visit www.mrmikes.ca. The lucky winner and their partner will need to be available between February 6-9 and will need to propose at his/ her MR MIKES location. Connect with MR MIKES on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter @MrMikesOnline. Follow the Say Yes at MR MIKES campaign using the hashtag #MrMikesSayYes. Established in 1960, with its first restaurant on Granville Street in Vancouver, the MR MIKES® brand is well known and loved for its 54-year heritage, quality and affordable menu, and unique style. MR MIKES® has operations in 24 locations across Western Canada, and plans to open another 24 locations over the next seven years with recent restaurant openings in Regina and Prince Albert, and another set for Saskatoon February of 2015. Dauphin, Winnipeg, Cochrane, Whitehorse, Hinton and Peace River are locations slated for 2015.

Northstar lights a pathway in support of EKFH and ICU
In partnership with
SAVE PAINT ANYWHERE. In partnership with In partnership with
Derek and Pat Spring of Northstar GM are providing critical support for intensive care with a spectacular show of generosity to EKFH. Hitting the roads this week is a brightly decorated Chevy Trax donated by Northstar for the foundation to use during its fundraising effort to raise $1,000,000 for equipment for the new Intensive Care Unit currently under construction at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital. The highly visible vehicle is an effective communications mechanism to highlight the ICU Redevelopment Project as EKFH makes presentations, and attends event and donor recognition activities throughout the East Kootenay. The show of support for raising the awareness of the
ICU campaign has also seen significant support from GENEX Marketing in the concept design and Selkirk Signs in the decaling of the vehicle. Donna Grainger, EKFH Executive Director explains, “There are simply no greater words than thank you that can truly show how much EKFH appreciates this amazing gesture of support. Derek and Pat have blessed us with a gift that will ultimately play a huge impact in the fundraising of this very important project.” EKFH is working in collaboration with Interior Health to bring the best in quality health care and services to the East Kootenay Regional Hospital.

All sorts of locally produced items and food will be on hand at the Cranbrook Indoor Farmers’ Market. for The Advertiser The Cranbrook Farmers’ Market is pleased to announce the start of indoor markets for 2015. Indoor markets over the winter and spring have been talked about for a few years now, with interest from both vendors and market patrons. Other communities such as Creston hold successful Farmers’ Markets throughout the year, so the time has come to try it out in Cranbrook! The Ktunaxa gym will be the location for the market, located at 220 Cranbrook St. N. Many residents still know this building as ‘the Tembec building’ but the Cranbrook Farmer’s Market Society feels that it offers a good venue for the
markets with a central location and available parking. Shoppers can look forward to locally made baked and grown in the snow covered months with products on offer including: farm eggs, meat, jams, frozen produce, sourdough bread, pies and other baked goods, handmade body products, and a variety of artisanal products including everything from wooden spoons to candles and jewelry. We will host the markets on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of the month, from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. ‘Market’ on your calendar, and we look forward to seeing you there!

Development of a pest management plan Facilities application #FEI-FAC-2015 Applicant: FortisBC Suite 100 - 1975 Springfield Road Kelowna, B.C. V1W 7V7
Email: pestmanagementplans@ fortisbc.com Tel: 1-888-224-2710 Fax: 250-469-8096
Attention: vegetation management The purpose of the proposed Pest Management Plan (PMP) is to manage vegetation, including noxious weeds and invasive plants, within facilities, which include gate, district, compressor, valve, meter, odorant and propane stations within the FortisBC service area. The FortisBC service area is located in proximity to the communities of Cranbrook, Sparwood, Fernie, Kimberley, Vernon, Salmon Arm, Revelstoke, Kamloops, Merritt, Cache Cr, Clinton, 100 Mile House, Williams Lk, Quesnel, Prince George, Mackenzie, Chetwynd, all of the Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland as well as Victoria, Nanaimo and Campbell River on Vancouver Island. The pest management methods proposed for use include physical (non-chemical) treatment methods (selective slashing, girdling, hand pulling, weed trimming, mowing, pruning, geotextiles and stump removal), the release of biological control agents (insects), cultural control methods (grass seeding), and the use of pesticides (herbicides). The common name (and examples of trade names) of the pesticides proposed for use under this plan include: aminopyralid, aminocyclopyrachlor, chlorsulfuron (Telar), clopyralid (Transline), 2-4 Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, dicamba (Vanquish), diuron (Karmex), flumioxazin, fluroxpyr, glyphosate (Roundup, Roundup Weathermax, Glyphos, Vantage, Vantage Plus), hexazinone (Velpar),indaziflam, imazapyr (Arsenal), metsulfuronmethyl, picloram (Tordon 22K), simazine (Simadex, Princep) and triclopyr (Garlon 4 or Garlon Ultra). Application methods include: foliar, soil, wick/wipe-on and cut surface, using backpack, wick/wipe-on applicator, squirt bottle, injection tools and handgun (power hose and nozzle). The proposed duration of the PMP is from May 1, 2015 to April 30, 2020. A draft copy of the proposed PMP and maps of the proposed treatment areas may be examined online at fortisbc.com or by contacting the Applicant listed above.
A person wishing to contribute information about a proposed treatment site, relevant to the development of the pest management plan, may send copies of the information to the applicant within 30 days of the publication of this notice and before February 13, 2015. FortisBC uses the FortisBC name and logo under license from Fortis Inc. (14-398 01/2015)
