Service levels named if a strike Cameron Orr The good news is that negotiations were still ongoing as of press time and no strike notice had been issued even as essential services levels had been set by the Labour Relations Board. Unifor 2300 said they wouldn’t issue any strike notice until an essential services ruling was made, but with the ruling made official last Tuesday, it’s been silent from both them and the District as they try to work out a new Collective Agreement. The ruling states that normal snow clearing operations would take place if five inches or more of snow accumulated in Kitimat. Bargaining unit members would also be deployed in tandem trucks if snow begins accumulating on arterial roads or on hills, the decision also says. Management staff, however, will be in charge of 24-hour coverage when it’s not snowing, which includes sanding and salting the roads and keeping drains clear. The essential services order says that the employer will have to use management to the best extent possible but union members could be called in to operate machinery for large snowfalls due to the increase in safety from those employees’ experience. Sewer and water systems will see crew members called out only for emergencies, qualified employees only for Tamitik Sports Complex will respond to any property alarms, and there is no essential services necessary for Riverlodge, the order states. For interments at the cemetery, the order states one heavy equipment operator for a back hoe, one labourer and one exempt employee will be called out.

All Native Tournament The Kitamaat Ladies team came close to a top finish but still walked away with a respectable silver in the finals at the All Native Tournament in Prince Rupert. Through two quarters, Kitamaat matched the Bella Bella ladies basket for basket, as there was no bigger lead than the four-point cushion Kitamaat had at the halftime buzzer, 31-27. In the final a big three-pointer by Bella Bella’s Lisa Grant pulled that team to within one point of the Haisla ladies starting the third and it wasn’t until Denise White and Yvonne Campbell hit back-to-back shots inside the box that the Heiltsuk team pulled away. It ended 71-59 for Bella Bella. Kevin Campbell
Promises not being delivered for Alexander townhome tenants Cameron Orr Despite promises from the developer, the residents at the Alexander townhomes have yet to receive any real formal relocation plan and the group of residents at the complex are concerned by the company’s behaviour. It’s not a matter of being against a redevelopment of the property that would result in all the residents being evicted — in fact renter Steve Everitt, who had expressed his concerns to council, agreed the plan to redevelop is a good thing, and he says his fellow neighbours in the complex agree, but he and others began receiving eviction notices even before any other contact with the property owners. The property is planned to be developed by company Coast to Coast, who has partnered with ROI Land Investments. The registered owner of the property is a numbered one, 1016566 BC Ltd Inc, based in Quebec City. Since Everitt spoke to councillors on his concerns at a public hearing regarding rezoning of that property, he said the landlords have come back with altered eviction terms. Now, instead of a $500 return if a tenant promises to leave early, Everitt said promises are being given for $1,000 to those who have to leave, and they’ve also been given numbers to other landlords in town for potential new places.
Everett said they’ve called the two numbers provided, one to the Whitesail townhouses next door to Alexander and to Kiticorp, and only Kiticorp had since returned his call, and was told there was no immediate openings. Everitt and his wife Connie say they won’t stay in Kitimat once they’re eventually out of their home. He will retire and head somewhere south in the province, as it’s just too expensive to keep living here. Even so he said he’s worried about the other tenants who will be looking for a new place. “It is a bit more appropriate,” he said about the improved $1,000 offer. Yet that money doesn’t tend to go very far in Kitimat these days, he said, given the various moving expenses and hook-up fees associated with a move. Tenants were expected to meet with a representative of the property owner on Monday for further information. Perhaps the most important thing tenants need though is time, said Everitt. At the time of the February 9 public hearing for the property rezoning councillors were concerned with the residents’ treatment so far. Continue on page 2

Police Beat
Loud talker at KGH brings out police on Valentines Day February 9 Security at the Kitimat Modernization Camp found an intoxicated male in a snow bank, and called the RCMP. Police arrived to find the man being treated by camp medical persons, and the person was then transported back to their room without incident. At 9:30 p.m. the RCMP were called to Tamitik Arena following a report of an assault. Police learned a 24-year-old man had allegedly punched a 19-year-old man in the face following an altercation in the chang-
ing room. The victim was taken to the hospital and the suspect was arrested and later released on a Promise to Appear in court in April. February 10 Called on a driving complaint at 12:55 p.m., the RCMP went to Oolichan Avenue and Highway 37S, where a complainant said that as she turned on to the highway heading towards Kitimat a driver in a pick-up heading in the opposite direction was overtaking a semitrailer. Police patrolled for the vehicle but it was not found.
At 11:50 p.m. the police were alerted three possible wolves in the area of Albatross Avenue and Cormorant Avenue. The complainant said the wolves were not aggressive. Sgt. Graham Morgan added at last week’s council meeting that the animals haven’t officially been identified as wolves. February 11 The Kitimat RCMP were called at 6:07 p.m. on a report of a disturbance. Police found that items had been thrown out of the front door. Police were told by a person at the
home that the disturbance was just verbal and not physical. The male had left before police attended. February 12 A 54-year-old man from Victoria was issued an arrest warrant for failing to attend court. The person had been charged with a fishing offence for fishing with a “prohibited method” and did not attend court as required. Police are attempting to locate the male. February 14 A male patient causing a disturbance at the Kitimat General Hospital resulted
in police attendance. The person was causing a disturbance by talking loudly on their cell phone, police say. The person left before police arrived but the person was found and contacted later by officers. February 15 A drinking-driving road check on Haisla Boulevard nabbed an intoxicated driver. Police say the driver was chewing bubble gum and denied any drinking but the odour of liquor was present. The driver then blew a “warn” rating with a roadside screening de-
vice twice, resulting in the 42-year-old driver from Ontario receiving a three-day driving prohibition. At 12:22 p.m. another vehicle was stopped at the road check, and a 36-yearold male from Quebec failed the screening device twice and received a 90-day roadside pro-

Even the developer’s architect for the site Dan Condon, who attended the public hearing to give technical information about the site, said he would be speaking to the owners because what he had heard from residents at the meeting was contrary to promises made in the past. At the public hearing Housing Resource Worker Paul Lagace noted examples of what could be in a relocation plan, including covering moving expenses and

actually securing alternative housing. Meanwhile Everitt also encourages any residents who are facing evictions or other tenancy issues to take advantage of the workshops being held in Kitimat on those subjects. He said he and his wife wouldn’t have had the confidence to address the issues they’re facing if they hadn’t gone to ones in the past, and added it also proved to them they aren’t alone.

Cameron Orr Extend a proposed Quatsino walkway straight to the soccer fields, and while you’re at it spend a bit more money on Kildala neighbourhood paths rather than upthe-hill. That was a message from Kitimat resident Mary John to town council, as she presented an over 600-signature petition to get a walkway along Quatsino constructed. The presentation followed a walkway tour John gave to councillors in the area the weekend prior. She says her concern is truly a safety issue. “I’m afraid someone’s going to get hurt and then we’ll be going ‘oh, why didn’t we do something?” she told the Sentinel. She said her 625-signature petition became a success through little real campaigning by her, proving there’s a big interest in the community as well. “We really, really want a sidewalk,” she says in reference to the community petition.

Kildala, she says, is an under served neighbourhood as far as walkway access. In connection to the downtown centre, there are only two walkway arteries in to Kildala, one behind the bus depot along the drainage canal and another between townhouses which she said is in ill-repair. The walkway that runs to Columbia from the Saguenay junction, in particular, is in such rough shape she doesn’t walk it at night. “Please consider [a Quatsino walkway] an urgent matter that should be dealt
with immediately,” John told council. She encouraged the town to look at building a walkway for the entire stretch to the soccer fields. Existing plans propose a walkway just to Columbia. The safety angle on having a walkway is a real one, says Sgt. Graham Morgan of the Kitimat RCMP. He said he’s seen people frequently using the side of the road along Quatsino even in the absence of a real walkway. He’s not aware of any injuries along that stretch but admits it’s not the safest place. “I was very sur-

prised there wasn’t one there, even before this came about,” he said. The trouble is notable in the winter too because the snow forces people on to the road shoulder, in a time of year where there is limited daylight. Councillors referred the proposal for a Quatsino walkway to their final budget deliberations for the year.

“Unlike current expenditures such as wages, the cost of capital property generally cannot be fully deducted in the year the property is acquired,” explains a Tax Policy Branch reference document on capital cost allowances. The government doesn’t anticipate there will be a great reduction in tax revenues. The Tax Policy Branch says it is projected that the accelerated CCA treatment will reduce federal corporate income tax revenues by less than $50 million over the from 2015 to 2020.

The federal government has stepped up with a sizeable tax break for liquefied natural gas proponents which gives them a break on capital costs. On February 19 the Prime Minister announced the plan, which gives a 30 per cent allowance rate to capital costs for equipment used in liquefaction and 10 per cent for buildings at a facility which liquefies natural gas. The tax relief on those capital assets is available for those acquired after February 19 and before 2025. The release from the Government of Canada marks notes the government’s belief that LNG is an “important new market” for Canadian gas. “Our Government is committed to providing the right conditions so that industries and businesses can succeed and compete in the global economy, by lowering taxes, cutting red tape and encouraging entrepreneurship.” said Prime Minister Stephen Harper through a media release. “ Today’s announcement builds on our low tax plan for jobs and growth, strengthening the already strong case for business investment in Canada.” The government says most equipment and structures for LNG has a capital cost allowance of about eight per cent so this deal bumps that 22 per cent.

Perils of plans There’s always a danger for anyone not from Kitimat planning to do business in Kitimat because the town’s boom/bust cycle has certainly hardened residents to any promises from the outside. Basically, as I’ve come to see being, by definition an outsider myself, is that Kitimatians are militant against anything which would affect the town’s vision. A planned townhouse complex on Kingfisher proved too dense for neighbours’ liking, and the worker lodge in Strawberry Meadows had to jump through a lot of hoops, although they did eventually succeed. The housing-side also saw a lot of headache, which Kiticorp experienced as rentals rose and they were held publicly to account for renovictions and displacement. The current problem now is the plan to rebuild the Alexander Townhomes in to a much more pleasing facility. And really no one necessarily objects to the plan in general. Even the people who live there, who will have to move, aren’t against it. It’s a notorious eyesore and, word is, quite dilapidated. However the project developer behind it had promised on occasions that plans would be made for residents of the complex who would be affected. Yet eviction notices have been sent with no plan to get them out in a planned manner. Even the proposed development’s architect said the way the residents are being treated isn’t how he was told it would be handled. Now I don’t want to go too far in criticizing the land owners right now, just because it sounds like there will be some meetings between the owners and the tenants soon which, fingers crossed, will resolve some issues. It speaks to a larger issue though. Councillor Larry Walker had it right when during discussion of the matter recently said Kitimat can’t be pushed around, and a message should be sent to that effect. A company promising improvements to the town, any company, needs to play by local rules. A message needs to be delivered to proponents promising one thing and doing another. If a company is clearly not respecting the town they want to do business in they should be held up in bureaucratic hell of some kind. In this case it’s not about tearing down an eyesore or adding to the town’s construction values. If a proponent won’t live up to their promises and support Kitimat’s residents then they’re not acting the way a good corporate citizen should. It’s frustrating when companies try to take the easy way out. Kitimat is not against development, but we need to look out for each other. Hopefully the Alexander renters get their due respect soon.

Late night TV lately a revolving door It’s easy to get a little confused about North American late night television talk-variety shows. First, there’s a lot of them, second there’s a kind of an accepted hierarchy among the shows themselves and third, it’s all changing and some of the top hosts are on the way out. But not all for the same reasons. This is a very competitive time on television. The old mixture of programming is changing rapidly and the late night talk shows are caught up in the tide. Cue those in the support roles, people like Stephen Colbert, Craig Ferguson, Seth Myers, Chelsea Handler, etc. Even Arsenio Hall is back. It’s happened before and really not all that long ago. For all intents and purposes, going back to the departure of Johnny Carson from “The Tonight Show” is probably, historically, far enough. Now, Dave Letterman, who was Carson’s chief opposition over most of my late night TV-viewing life in Canada, is retiring his acerbic “aw shucks” wit. He will be replaced by Stephen Colbert who recently left his Colbert

Report show on Comedy Central. Conan O’Brien not long ago changed networks and has his version of late night shows on TBS, still earning a lot of money, but not attracting as large audiences as the leading performers Fallon, Letterman and Jimmy Kimmell. Told you it was confusing and it’s going to get a lot more confusing in the next while. It’s not only difficult to keep up to date, it’s getting even more competitive, at least if you have major cable or satellite programming. Jon Stewart just shocked his intensely loyal audience and his millions of fans on “The Daily Show” by announcing he was “restless” and moving on to un-detailed “new ideas” after 16 years at the top of the phony news comedy show.
There’s lots of talk about who, if anybody, can replace Stewart, with a lot of that focussed on John Oliver, who spent 10 years as Stewart’s top correspondent, earning a great following of his own. He successfully hosted the show while Stewart took time off. However, he has launched his own immensely popular four-days-a-week show “Last Week Tonight” on HBO which, when it heard of Stewart’s plans, extended Oliver’s show for two years. Oliver has an irreverent tongue-incheek comedic approach to some fairly serious news issues like usurious payday loan companies, lotteries, tobacco advertising in third-world countries, civil forfeiture by the police and other issues that torment democratic thinkers. I probably would not be far off the mark in claiming that some of these major late night shows have or have had similar success to that attributed to the UK’s Monty Python group, probably one of the world’s most-watched and iconic TV-comedy shows over the years.

A season for personal, spiritual housekeeping (Editor’s note: This column’s subject is Ash Wednesday, which was a week ago today, February 18.) Joel 2: 12, “Even now,” declares the Lord, “return to me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping and with mourning...this is our text.” What would happen if you locked up the doors of your house and didn’t come back for five years? What do you think your house and yard would look like after five years of no upkeep? The grass would be waist high, the eaves-troughs would be full of five years worth of bugs and leaves, the interior would smell like mould and mildew. In short, there would be a lot of cleaning up to do. Well, that is what this season of Lent that begins with Ash Wednesday is all about; cleaning up our Spiritual house. Lent and Ash Wednesday are all about repentance, change. That house that was
From the Pulpit Redeemer Lutheran Church
If you’ve been away for a while, God wants you to come back. If you haven’t followed Him as vigorously as you know you should, God is calling out to you to, “Return: “return to me with all your heart.” When a husband and wife get married they commit themselves to each other. Can you imagine being married to someone who only promised to be faithful to you once in a while? No. So too, when we neglect our relationship with the Lord to sow our oats, we miss out on all the blessings our Lord desires to shower down upon us. When God invites you to return to Him it’s because he wants to bless you. He wants you to receive the direction and purpose in your life that can only come through a committed, saving relationship with Jesus Christ, who was faithful to each one of us, even to death on a cross. He wants you to return to forgive you and give you the assurance of eternal life through faith in Christ.
From the Pulpit Redeemer Lutheran Church
Pastor Clint Magnus neglected for five years is you and me. If we take an honest look at our lives we see that often we are more interested in the things of the world rather than the things of God. We can become so busy earning our livings and shuttling the kids around to all their activities that we neglect the one thing that is truly necessary. Christ. Well, it’s Ash Wednesday and so this is the perfect day to do some spiritual house cleaning. The sixth word in the verse above is: “Return!”
Pastor Clint Magnus
The next verse after the one above, verse 13 says, “Return to the Lord your God, for He is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and He relents from sending calamity.” As impossible as it sounds, after all the horrible things we have done in our lives, on account of Christ, God will relent from giving us what we deserve. That’s called Grace and that’s what He wants you to have in Christ. Does your life resemble a building that requires some upkeep? The Lord wants you to return to Him. Ask him and He will give you the power to do just that. He will point you to His son Jesus and remind you that though this life is a struggle, Jesus won the ultimate struggle for you in His death and resurrection from the grave. Return to the Lord and He will make you into a new building in Christ that will be properly kept up all the days of your life and on into eternity. Amen.

Snowstorm was nightmare Dear Sir, Angry and upset. Taxes go up, services going down! In all my 54 years living in Kitimat the last few days, February 5-8, were the most horrible days of my life. They were a nightmare that won’t be forgotten.
We had harsher winters with much more snow, power outages too, but were able to get around. We were warned prior, so what went wrong? This disaster could have been avoided with proper snow clearing. This service is essential.
Do you know how much heartache was caused to many people? People could have lost their lives. Hope you learned from it, and we the community hoping it will never happen again. Sincerely, Elsa Hofer
Many thanks for the support Dear Sir, I would like to thank my wonderful son Chris and his girlfriend Lindsay for snow blowing my driveway for me, for bringing comfort food and coffee in our time of need.
I also thank my other son Steven for calling all the way from Fort McMurray to make sure his dad and I were OK. I would also like to thank my family and neighbours for your love and concern for
the devastating loss of my best friend and beloved cat Smokey. He gave us 13 wonderful years of joy and happiness and our lives have been bless and enriched in those 13 years. Sincerely, Mrs. E. Jenster
To all those who dug me out Dear Sir, To the two young ladies and young gentleman who helped me on Okanagan Street on Friday, February 6, and also to the three or four
gentlemen who helped me dig out on 486 Quatsino: Thank you. Sincerely, Grant MacDermid of Ti-Mat
Television Continued from page 4 There’s big money in it. TV Guide’s annual survey of star salaries currently posts Jon Stewart as “king of late night,” salary-wise, with earnings of an estimated $25-30 million per year. Just behind him with $20 million plus per year were former late night leaders the Tonight Show’s Jay Leno and the Late
Show’s Letterman. Their third network rival Jimmy Kimmell lags distantly with $10 million per year. However, just a year ago TV Guide published a similar list that showed Letterman in the lead with $28 million, Leno second with $25 million and Stewart third with $16 million. The mag at-
tributes the changes to the ascendance of cable over broadcast. So? What now? Well, this is a battle that’s going to continue to be shared because each of these guys do things differently, have great egos and, we know, that’s sometimes what they trip over. Let’s hope it continues to be fun.

Stand up against bullying… On Wednesday, February 25, be sure to wear pink and say ENOUGH to bullying! Bullying
Bullying happens when there is an imbalance of power; where someone purposely and repeatedly says or does hurtful things to someone else. Bullying can occur one on one or in a group(s) of people. There are many different forms of bullying: ◼ Physical bullying (using your body or objects to cause harm): includes hitting, punching, kicking, spitting or breaking someone else’s belongings. ◼ Verbal bullying (using words to hurt someone): includes name calling, put-downs, threats and teasing. ◼ Social bullying (using your friends and relationships to hurt someone): includes spreading rumours, gossiping, excluding others from a group or making others look foolish or unintelligent. This form of bullying is most common among girls (Canadian Children’s Rights Council).
Cyberbullying
Cyberbullying involves the use of communication technologies such as the Internet, social networking sites, websites, email, text messaging and instant messaging to repeatedly intimidate or harass others. Cyberbullying includes: • Sending mean or threatening emails or text/ instant messages. • Posting embarrassing photos of someone online. • Creating a website to make fun of others. • Pretending to be someone by using their name.
• Tricking someone into revealing personal or embarrassing information and sending it to others. Cyberbullying affects victims in different ways than traditional bullying. It can follow a victim everywhere 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, from school, to the mall and all the way into the comfort of their home - usually safe from traditional forms of bullying.
Impacts
Over time, youth who are bullied or bully others find their own ways of dealing with it. While some victims/bullies may become depressed and begin to withdraw socially, others react aggressively and turn to violence. Dangers for Children and Adolescents Who Are Bullied: • Depression • Social anxiety, loneliness, isolation • Stress related health problems (e.g., headaches, stomach aches) • Low self esteem • School absenteeism and academic problems • Aggressive behaviours • Contemplating, attempting, or committing suicide Dangers for Children and Adolescents Who Bully Others: • Not knowing the difference between right and wrong • Delinquency and substance use • Academic problems and increased school dropout rate • Aggression • Sexual harassment and dating aggression • Gang involvement and criminal adulthood

DID YOU KNOW? • Bullies are more likely to use drugs and alcohol and engage in criminal activity. According to one of the world’s leading researchers on bullying, 60% of boys who frequently bullied others in elementary school had criminal records by age 24 (PREVNet). • Youth who are bullied suffer more headaches, stomach aches, depression and anxiety. Mental health problems associated with bullying tend to last until later in life (PREVNet). • 85% of bullying incidences happen in front of people (Canadian Red Cross).

Premier’s Kitimat joke ill-timed, says MLA Cameron Orr How many Premiers does it take to tick off the Skeena MLA? Just one. At a dinner event in Victoria two weeks ago Premier Christy Clark reportedly cracked a joke about Kitimat, around the time Kitimat was getting over its major snowfall. “Premier Clark tells 860 people at Victoria leader’s dinner it’s so cold in Kitimat she saw a New Democrat with his hands in his own pockets,” reads a Tweet from Times Colonist report-
er Les Leyne. Robin Austin caught wind of the joke through Leyne’s account and tells the Sentinel that it’s fair game to crack jokes about the
ways, we were in a real state up in the northwest. Meanwhile in the Lower Mainland she was making a joke,” said Austin. “It’s inappropriate to be making
a joke about a community or referencing a community when they are in a state of absolute emergency and catastrophe. That’s what I think is wrong.”
A call to the Premier’s communications department did confirm the joke was made however the office had no further comment to make on the matter.

We asked our loyal Facebook readers what they felt about this joke; was it a usual political jab or did it cross the line? It crossed the line. Politicians in the lower mainland don’t “get us” in the North, they don’t understand our challenges and livelihoods, she should not make jokes at our expense. - Hilary Well she never had my vote..so not really surprised by her comments. - Carin No offense taken here.

Hotels preparing for openings this year under construction will have 87 rooms, a meeting space, a small store for guests and will include extended stay suites. This is among the first hotels by the company with this look in Canada. The weather, beyond snow storms, hasn’t hampered construction, said Watson. “The rain is one thing because you get the moisture...that’s just part of building in those climates, but so far we’re still on schedule,” he said. As for the snow, “Weather was really good up until you guys got a couple inches of snow...Our guys were back at work pretty quick.” While employment levels depends on business, he said typically their hotels have about 15 to 20 employees, and there will likely be job fairs in the near future to get staff to operational levels. Meanwhile the MStar Hotel will open before the year closes, says City Centre Mall owner Jerry Minni. “All the concrete

Cameron Orr Two hotels in Kitimat are slated for completion by the year’s end. The Microtel hotel on Dadook Avenue, near Rosarios, is still shooting for an August opening as construction crews worked through the heavy snow. The hotel, which will be branded Microtel Inn and Suites by Wyndham once opened, has even opened up for job applications for their general manager as they shoot for an August opening. The company is sticking to that opening in six months, according to Eric Watson, MasterBuilt Hotels’ chief operating officer. The plans for a secondary hotel on the site is up in the air while the company awaits news on what happens with a liquefied natural gas industry in Kitimat. “We’re certainly waiting to see what happens with LNG projects, in terms of our second hotel,” he said, which would include a restaurant.

No rush by council to get replacement generator Cameron Orr It’s either protection against future power outages or an expensive addition to the town budget that has no pressing need. However you may feel about it, the fire department was not successful in receiving a pre-budget approval for an emergency back-up generator. Fire Chief Trent Bossence says he’s had the generator in mind for replacement for a few years but other projects have bumped it from budgets. The impact of that postpone-
The fire hall’s current rental back-up generator. ment came to a head during Kitimat’s intense snowstorm when the power generating part of the
generator failed while the department was trying to get it’s Emergency Operations Centre going. It’s tested regularly and the fire chief said it would have successfully passed its weekly test the Thursday before it failed on Friday. After working with the District’s electrician it was determined a new, higher capacity generator should be purchased. One caveat: it would cost $120,000. Among those against, Larry Walker suggested looking further
in to the matter, perhaps doing a bulk buy with Public Works and even the hospital to save money. He didn’t believe it was an urgent buy. Mario Feldhoff said he leaned in favour of the purchase but wanted to know more, including the cost of the rental back-up generator currently being used. He also threw out the thought that saving the $120,000 expense now could mean more money on projects like the Quatsino Walkway proposal. Claire Rattée, meanwhile,
supported the expense, saying the snowstorm was unanticipated. “We were screwed over,” she said about the issues that came attached to the storm, particularly the fire hall losing power. She didn’t want to see a repeat if there was another storm. To a vote it was Edwin Empinado, Walker and Feldhoff against, and Mary Murphy, Rattée, and Rob Goffinet in favour. Not receiving pre-budget approval brings the request to the main budget debate in the weeks to come.

Four Marlins post best times at Chilliwack championships Jason Cathers Four of the six swimmers who qualified for the AA provincial championships from the Kitimat Marlins Swim Club attended Chilliwack last weekend. There were over 300 swimmers from across B.C. and the Yukon in attendance at the championships. The Marlins swimmers swam extremely well and all
posted personal best times throughout the meet. Leading the way for the Marlins was Alex van Horne (11) who achieved his first AAA provincial qualifying time on his way to the gold medal in the 11 and under boys 100 meter backstroke. Adrianna Florit (10) had her best result in the 11 and under girls 200 meter breaststroke with a 5th
place finish. Hayden dobbin (15) placed in the top 8 in two events for 14 and over boys. Dobbin placed 6th in the 1500 meter
freestyle and 7th in the 400m. Ethan Velho (14) had his best results in the 14 and over boys 200 backstroke with a 14th place finish.
