B.C. buys coal licences in Tahltan territory By Tom Fletcher THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

NORTHWEST B.C. - The B.C. government is paying $18.3 million to buy out 61 coal mining licences in the Klappan region of northwestern B.C., to work with the Tahltan Nation on a management plan. The government is calling the move a “permit deferral,” including a 10-year option for Fortune Minerals and Korea-based POSCO Canada to buy back the permits at the same price once an

agreement on mining development is reached with the Tahltan. Known internationally as the Sacred Headwaters, where the Nass, Skeena and Stikine Rivers arise, the region has been a focus of mining protest before. In 2012 the province bought back coalbed gas leases awarded to Shell Canada in 2004. The anthracite coal mining licences have been purchased by BC Rail, which decades ago attempted to extend track to Dease Lake for mining development. The railway still has legis-

lative authority to acquire coal mines and associated lands, and cash reserves to buy the Klappan licences. Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett said the Tahltan, industry and the province all have an interest in agreeing on a development plan for the area, about midway between Stewart and Dease Lake. Bennett said the companies remain interested in developing a large metallurgical coal mine on the property, and without the purchase announced last Monday,

the province could have ended up in court. Northwest B.C. has multiple metal and coal mines on the drawing board, and the recent completion of a power line along Highway 37 has sparked development interest. B.C. signed a shared decision-making agreement with the Tahltan Central Council in 2013, when the Tahltan administration was dealing with about 250 exploration applications a year over a territory about half the size of Washington state.

Lax Kw’alaams offered billion-dollar deal to agree to LNG terminal By Shaun Thomas

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The Lax Kw’alaams Band could receive more than 2,000 hectares of Crown land around Prince Rupert and Port Edward from the provincial government if it agrees to the construction and operation of the Pacific NorthWest LNG terminal and Prince Rupert Gas Transmission project. The land is just one of the benefits being offered according to a Lax Kw’alaams member update obtained by the Northern View and it would be granted to the band at various milestones in the projects. A draft map entitled “Lax Kw’alaams Pacific NorthWest LNG Benefits Term Sheet Map 1” created for the Ministry of Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation outlines four points at which Crown land would change hands. Upon signing the benefits agreement, a 40 hectare parcel of land across from the garbage dump could be transferred to the band. If Pacific NorthWest LNG makes a positive final investment decision, Lax Kw’alaams and Metlakatla could take joint ownership of a 33 hectare parcel of land on Skeena Drive just before Port Edward that extends behind the current community footprint.

The largest potential transfer of land would come upon commencement of construction of the Lelu Island terminal. Should that happen, the Band could be provided with 286 hectares running along the Ridley Island access road, 236 hectares running from Kloiya Bay to the Galloway Rapids bridge and down Skeena Drive, 39 hectares along Skeena Drive leading to Port Edward, 289 hectares of land running from adjacent to Butze Rapids to Miller Bay, 57 hectares from Miller Bay to Galloway Rapids Bridge, 340 hectares across from Butze Rapids and adjacent to Lot 444, three hectares behind Oliver Lake and 299 hectares at the tip of Digby Island as well as a small piece of land adjacent to Dodge Cove. An additional 130 hectares would be subject to land use discussions and would be located between the dump and Highway 16 all the way to the harbour. Another 172 hectares of land on Digby Island could be made available upon commencement of construction and consent by those currently with an interest in the land. The map notes that “this does not represent a land offer. It is provided for scoping and discussion purposes on a without prejudice basis”. In addition to the land, a bulle-

tin from the band outlines $20.18 million to be paid upon approval and signing of the agreement, $2.09 million upon construction of the projects and $5.59 million upon project startup. Annually, the band would receive payments starting at $12.924 million and rising every year before reaching $50,538,351 at year 40. In total, the annual payments would bring approximately $1.014 billion to the band over 40 years. Other benefits include $6 million for the paving of the Tuck Road, a $2.5 million fisheries compensation fund, $1.75 million for capacity funding, $225,000 annually for scholarships and $18.5 million for a training program over 10 years. In total, the Band puts the value of the total benefits package at $1.149 billion over 40 years. The update comes with a letter from mayor and council indicating members will be asked to show support for the agreement through a show of hands at community meetings in Lax Kw’alaams on May 4 and 5, in Prince Rupert May 6 and 7 and in Vancouver May 11 and 12. It also lists some of the potential environmental impacts associated with the terminal including adding an additional 350 LNG carriers around the waters of Lax Kw’alaams for the next 40 years.

Haisla get training funding boost By Cameron Orr

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - Haisla Deputy Chief Councillor Taylor Cross says new funding from the province will aid in the Haisla’s own training plans to get their members in to future proposed projects. “We already have a training plan going...this is just going to add to it,” said Cross about a $10 million a year funding boost to First Nations along proposed natural gas pipeline routes. The funding totals $30 million over three years. “Hopefully First Nations along the pipeline take advantage of this opportunity, to benefit their members so we can get trades or whatever it is. Get a long term job,” he said. The money was announced as part of B.C.’s Skills for Jobs Blueprint, a document outlining goals and strategies to make the province ready for lique-

fied natural gas developments. The overall goal, according to the Ministry of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation, is to add 15,000 Aboriginal workers within 10 years. “The Aboriginal Skills Training Development Program is a good example of how our government is walking a better path and working in partnership with First Nations to ensure a positive legacy from LNG development,” said Minister of Aboriginal Relations John Rustad in a prepared statement. Funds will help address barriers that First Nations communities face in accessing skills development and labour market programs and services, especially in remote and rural areas, says the ministry. The funds will be managed and distributed by the Ministry of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation. The B.C. government will seek to leverage the new funding with additional investments from partners, including the federal government and industry.

Province denies funding request of resource benefits alliance By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PORT EDWARD - The Northwest Resource Benefits Alliance won’t be seeing any money from the provincial government until the Province of B.C. starts seeing income from some of the major projects proposed for the region. That was the response of Ministry of Natural Gas Development assistant deputy minister Brian Hansen and Ministry of Commu-

nity, Sport and Cultural Development assistant deputy minister Jay Schlosar to the alliance’s request for $1.131 million to cover the cost of negotiations that would eventually lead to a resource benefit sharing agreement between the provincial government and the body representing various municipalities and regional districts in the Northwest. “At this stage, major investments in the region are still developing and making critical

decisions on final investment. Significant new provincial revenues will not be realized for a number of years following those final investments ... it is, in our view, premature for the province to consider entering into any agreements that would see those revenues dedicated before they are realized,” the two wrote in a letter to Kitimat — Stikine Regional District chair Stacey Tyers and presented at Port Edward council on April 28.

“We will be unable to meet the alliance’s request for funding at this time. Recognizing that all future benefits rely upon securing and enabling investments in LNG facilities, the province must continue to dedicate its primary focus on working with local governments either hosting these prospective facilities or most directly impacted by facility development.” Port Edward chief administrative officer Bob Payette said the al-

liance members are currently drafting a response letter and still have hope for pursuing an agreement that would bring more money into the Northwest to handle growth associated with resource development. “Our goal is to get to the table and begin negotiations ... there is still a window of opportunity to do that,” he said, noting the alliance anticipates the negotiations themselves would last one year or more.

Aboriginal hockey event moves one step closer By Margaret Speirs THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - The drive to bring an aboriginal hockey championship here moved closer with the committee struck to make the bid asking for council to waive the fees of renting the arenas for the event. In addition to bringing the teams and fans here from around the region and country, the championship serves as a way to build relationships between the aboriginal communities and the city, showcase northwest aboriginal culture and provide role models for youths, said councillor Brian Downie to a city council Committee of the Whole Meeting May 4. And since the games will be webcast, they will bring national viewers online to see them, he said. During dead time between games and periods, videos showing coverage of the area could be added for viewers to see. Members of the committee for the championship bid came to give their support and talk to council too. That included Cal Albright from Kermode Friendship Society, Joe Bevan for Kitselas, and Yulanda Leighton from CFNR. To rent the main arena and the Hidber arena for the seven days of the championships, the facility rental fees would be about $25,000 and ice installation about

$30,000. The committee was requesting that council and the city waive the facility rental fees, said Downie. The cost to host could be $100,000 although it will probably be in excess of that, said Downie. And if Terrace was selected to host the championships, then $50,000 of that would come from the Aboriginal Sport, Recreation and Physical Activity Partners Council, said Downie. Councillor Sean Bujtas said it was an important event to grow aboriginal youth involvement in sports here. Councillor Stacey Tyers said a concern was that First Nation youths be able to go to the games since sometimes fees can keep the people who would benefit most from attending because they can’t afford to pay. Setting up screens to watch the games in the park would be a good idea, she said. Committee member Yulanda Leighton said for the Meet the Canucks event, the free tickets were given out so lower income youths would get them and Kermode Friendship Society gave them out to its clientele too. That could be done again to be sure that the youths who would most benefit would get to go to the event, she said. Councillor James Cordeiro made the rec-

Executive housing rezoning passes following heated debate By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT Prince Rupert city council approved the rezoning of the former Baptist Church on India Avenue to allow for the creation of a multi-unit executive housing development, but the decision was not without objection and concern from councillors and one nearby resident. Plans from Greenwell Asset Management call for the church to be converted to 17 single occupancy suites aimed at housing executives related to industrial development. But that number of new accommodations in a residential area did not sit well with resident Tony Ferreira or Coun. Wade Niesh. “Seventeen apartments is too much and we don’t need that in Prince Rupert ... It is going to be built for rich people, not poor people and we need someone to build something for low income people,” said Ferreira. “I like people to look at it from the perspective of it being the size of three residential lots, so it would be like if we took the three homes across the street, combined them and put 18 people in them. That is too many people ... given the size of three

average lots, with a restriction of two units per residence, that would be a maximum of six units and he wants 17,” said Niesh. Coun. Joy Thorkelson and Coun. Blair Mirau countered that the number was not only realistic but fit within the city’s plans for growth. “We actually have six 25-foot lots at that location ... we have been trying to develop housing options for 25foot lot starter homes and if you had six starter homes with young families, you could easily have four people per household. That is more than the 17 people this would house,” said Thorkelson. “The Official Community Plan calls for us to build within our own footprint ... this would increase densification, and I know that is a concern to some, but it is within our community plan,” added Mirau. The rezoning also found support from Prince Rupert realtor Emily Kawaguchi. “There was great consideration by the applicant for the use of this property, which was a vacant church and will never be a church again ... as a realtor, given the layout of the building and parking lot, my opinion is that this is the best use for the site,” she

said. Another objection of both Niesh and Ferreira was trusting that the units could be used by seniors. While Ferreira noted the rent would be too much for seniors to afford, Niesh said he didn’t believe the sincerity of the developer. “Every time you talk to him he has a different story. That is not the kind of person the city should be doing business with ... we have relied too much on what people have said they are going to do — ‘we’re going to get the pulp mill running again’

— and look where that has gotten us,” he said. Mayor Lee Brain said he didn’t think the Greenwell Asset Management was lying to council as Niesh said, but said timing was more of a factor. “The only thing I don’t agree with is that seniors will be living there while this is going on. I absolutely don’t think that is going to happen. I think there will be executives living there for four to six years while these projects are underway and seniors will move in after that when the rents

will be lowered because the costs have been recovered,” he said, adding not proceeding could be a lost opportunity to increase the city’s tax roll. “If we don’t go ahead with this, some camp will do it and then we won’t have that tax income.” When it came to the vote, Coun. Niesh and Coun. Barry Cunningham voted to oppose the rezoning with councillors Thorkelson, Mirau, Nelson Kinney and Gurvinder Randhawa voting in favour of proceeding.

Chevron says no FID More trades positions added on Kitimat LNG in 2015 By Tom Fletcher

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

pany “hasn’t ever stated an estimated FID date for Kitimat LNG.” An FID remains contingent on finishing up the project engineering studies “to gain greater project cost and execution certainty, establishing a clear, competitive and stable fiscal framework with governments, gaining additional First Nations support, and executing firm LNG marketing agreements.”

By Cameron Orr THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - In a first quarter earnings conference call, Chevron noted there won’t be a final investment decision for the Kitimat LNG project in 2015. A transcript of the exact comments were not immediately available. A communications spokesperson for the company noted that the com-

VICTORIA - The B.C. government is adding new trades seats to 12 post-secondary institutions, to allow students to sample different trades. The “trades discovery” program runs 10 to 12 weeks, providing hands-on experience. Those who complete the program can then enrol in a “foundation” program for the trade or seek an apprenticeship place

with an employer. Premier Christy Clark donned her hardhat and joined high school students in new secondary trade programs for the announcement at the B.C. legislature last week. Jobs Minister Shirley Bond said the government has made progress in the Skills for Jobs Blueprint, launched a year ago to redesign the B.C. education system from elementary to post-secondary to match education up with highdemand jobs in the future.

The additional funding of $727,500 is to provide 68 seats at Camosun College, 32 at College of New Caledonia, 32 at College of the Rockies, 16 at Kwantlen Polytechnic University, 16 at Nicola Valley Institute of Technology, 12 at North Island College, 40 at Northwest Community College, 32 at Okanagan College, 16 at Selkirk College, 30 at Thompson Rivers University, 16 at University of the Fraser Valley and 16 at Vancouver Island University.

Grad parents want civic centre rent waived By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT Parents of the Class of 2015 are asking Prince Rupert city council to allow them — and all future graduating classes — to rent the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre free of charge. Michelle Montemuro made the request on behalf of the 2015 Grad Parents executive, noting a new policy on rental fees passed by council is putting a larger than expected dent in the event’s $30,000 budget. “This year, the cost increase of renting the arena has seriously increased the need for more funding to cover these costs. The new City of Prince Rupert Fees and Charges Bylaw does not provide for not-for-profit organizations such as ours. There seems to be little negotiating room for a lower rate to meet our budgetary needs,” she said, noting the current cost is double the contracted price for the 2014 celebration. “We are consider-

ing a bill of $5,000 or $6,000 just to rent the facility to decorate, hold the event and takedown ... we ask that you make a resolution or bylaw to waive all rental costs for the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre for the 2015 graduating class prom and all future graduating class proms. The resolution or bylaw would also note that the only fees being charged are for the hourly use of staff and the equipment necessary for setup and take down.” In making the presentation Montemuro noted other municipalities discount rental fees for not-for-profit groups by as much as 60 or 70 per cent. While the prom has been held in other venues in town, including the Highliner Plaza and the North Coast Convention Centre, Montemuro said the arena at the civic centre is the best fit for the approximately 150 graduates to celebrate their accomplishment. “It’s just the size of the facility and the way it is setup, plus the fact that we can bring in what we do

“There seems to be little negotiating room.” Michelle Montemuro need, whereas other facilities charge a larger cost for that or restrict our bringing in of food or beverages because they want us to use theirs because they are a private business

and are looking to make money as well,” she said. “The prom is always theme-based. Because there is such a large grad class and each of those students can bring

a guest, plus the parent volunteers, there could be upwards of 300 people in the facility ... it is not just the dance, there are gaming tables, there are mocktails, there’s food being brought in.” Council did not discuss or vote on the idea, but Coun. Barry Cunningham did note charging only for staff and equipment would result in a revenueneutral situation for the city.

MOVING NATURAL GAS SAFELY ACROSS B.C. A SPECIAL SERIES ON LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS

Pipelines have been transporting natural gas across Canada safely and efficiently since 1853.

of Canadian natural gas production was safely transported by pipeline to U.S. markets in 2013

Natural gas has been transported by pipeline across British Columbia safely and efficiently for more than 50 years. It is piped into homes and offices across the province and used for heating and cooking. New pipelines will be crucial to the development of B.C.’s LNG industry, but right from the start pipeline companies will consult with and engage First Nations, local communities and other stakeholders to ensure that they are aware of the project and understand what is involved. The BC LNG Alliance is the voice of British Columbia’s new LNG export industry. Our mission is to foster the growth of a safe, environmentally responsible and globally competitive LNG industry in British Columbia and Canada.

Terrace track makes gains

KEVIN CAMPBELL/ THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

The 2015 Prince Rupert Spring Invitational featured swim clubs from across the northwest.

Rapids dominate home meet By Kevin Campbell THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The message was pretty clear from the get-go of the 2015 Prince Rupert Spring Invitational: this was PRASC’s house and they weren’t about to give it up so easily. The PRASC (Prince Rupert Amateur Swim Club) Rapids dove into their only hometown regional meet, taking on the Terrace Bluebacks, Bulkley Valley Otters and Kitimat Marlins, the latter of whom were supposed to host the May 1 – 3 meet.But due to the Kitimat municipal strike, they were unable to accommodate the meet and will lose their chance next month as well, said PRASC head coach Chris Street on the weekend. “This was a last-minute change – we took it from them and now they’re going to lose it to Terrace here in June,” he mentioned. Kitimat Marlins members performed admirably at the Earl Mah Aquatic Centre despite their own facility’s troubles and even placed second out of the four competing clubs. But no one could touch the Rupert Rapids, who dominated the invitational with 1,306 points, good for first overall by a wide margin thanks to the numerous club members who took advantage of the hometown meet. The Marlins were runners-

up with 476 points, the Terrace Bluebacks finished third with 328 points and the Bulkley Valley Otters took fourth with 241. And among their first-place showing, the Rapids claimed a staggering 11 aggregate medals for its athletes. “I think [the invitational] went very well,” said Street. “There’s a lot of kids here, so it’s a bit hard to tell sometimes because it’s so hectic, but overall we did very well.” Five gold aggregates were won by Prince Rupert swimmers Emma Movold, Isaac Mastroianni, Amy Leighton, Zach Dolan and Avery Movold. Emma, 11, had a terrific outing, winning girls aged 11-12 200, 400 and 800 freestyle and 100 and 200 butterfly and second in 100 and 200 backstroke. Avery, 15, took her golden meet with wins in women’s 15-19 50 and 800 freestyle, 50 and 200 butterfly and 50, 100 and 200 backstroke. Leighton, 14, captured gold with victories in girls’ 13-14 200 breaststroke, 50, 100 and 200 butterfly, 200 IM and 200 and 400 freestyle. For the boys’ golden swims, Mastroianni, 11, won boys’ 11-12 50, 200, 400 and 1500 freestyle, 50 breast, 400 IM and 100 butterfly. Dolan, 13, captured wins in boys’ 13-14 200, 400 and 1500 freestyle, 50 breast and 50 and 200 backstroke and second in 100 freestyle.

Silver aggregate medal winners included Jakob Hall, Isaac Dolan, Mackenzie Tweedhope and Brandan Hagen. Hall, 9, swam to victories in boys’ 10-and-under 50 and 200 breaststroke and 200 free and placed second in 100 breast and 200 IM and third in 50 freestyle. Isaac, 11, went on to win boys’ 11-12 200 breaststroke, 100 freestyle, 200 IM and 200 back and placed second in 200 and 400 free. Tweedhope, 13, won girls’ 13-14 100 and 800 free, 400 IM and 100 breast and came in second in 50 and 200 free and 200 IM. Hagen, 17, took victories in men’s 15-19 100 IM, 50 free and 50 backstroke and placed second in 50 and 100 breast, 50 butterfly and 100 free. Kate Morse and Jarred McMeekin claimed bronze aggregates for the Rapids. Morse, 13, swam to first-place in girls’ 13-14 100 IM and 50 free, second in 100 and 200 back and 100 and 400 free and third in 50 butterfly. McMeekin, 13, won boys’ 13-14 400 IM, 50 free and 100 butterfly, took second-place in 400 and 1500 free and 100 back and third in 100 free. A number of other PRASC members had fine outings, including Jake Morse, Robert Warren, Hannah Toye, Araya Bartlett and Josh Leighton.

TERRACE - The combined Skeena Middle School and Caledonia Track and Field team headed west to Prince Rupert late last month, performing well at the inaugural track meet. Only eight athletes were able to attend because most had music festival commitments, said coach Megan Reid, and the team still placed third overall out of six teams with almost everyone placing in at least one event. A major highlight was Amber Schulte, who set a new meet record in javelin, breaking the record she set last year. Overall Reid, who coaches track while Ben Mattheis coaches field, said the meet, which saw athletes from Prince Rupert, Terrace, Smithers, Nisga’a, Hazelton, and Lax Kw’alaams attend, was a good start to the season. “The new school was pretty impressive, and the track and artificial turf made us envious of the Prince Rupert track and field clubs,” she

said. “The weather was warm enough for our athletes to leave with a sunburn, which is not something one can say very often about Prince Rupert)” Reid said the team, mostly Grade 8s, is benefitting from the guidance of its senior athletes and is building a foundation for the next several years. She pointed to the strong support the team has received from parents, as well, in terms of financial contributions and shuttling athletes. Caledonia results from Prince Rupert: Shivohn Peters 3rd in Shot Put; 2nd in Javelin. Amber Schulte 1st in Discus; 1st in Javelin. Tea Archibald 1st in 100m; 1st in 200m; 2nd in Long Jump; 1st in Triple jump; 1st in Discus. Eden AtkinsonBruce 3rd in Javelin. Patrick Holmberg 1st in 400m Skeena results from Prince Rupert: Michaela Yeo 3rd in 100m; 3rd in 200m; 1st in 1500m; 1st in Long Jump. Spencer Shulte 1st in Discus; 3rd in Javelin.

The Kitimat Marlins in Prince George.

Marlins send small team to Prince George By Jason Cathers THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE GEORGE - The Kitimat Marlins Swim Club competed at the Prince George long course (50 meter pool) invitational swim meet. The swim meet was large with 350 swimmers from around northern B.C. and the Okanagan. Although the Marlins sent a small team due to the municipal strike and having to train at the Terrace pool there were some excellent results. There were only two medal events available for the 10 and under swimmers but two Marlins capitalized on the opportunity. Adrianna Florit, 10, took the gold medal in the 10 and under girls

200 individual medley and the silver medal in the 200 meter freestyle. Marlin team mate Olivia Pearson, 10, took the bronze medal in the 200 im. Zachary Dumas, 15, took the gold medal for overall points in the 14-15 boys. Dumas also made it to the second round of the sprint eliminator competition. Brander Pacheco, 16, took the bronze medal for overall points in the 16 and over boys. Pacheco also made it to the third round of the sprint eliminator and took third place winning $25. Achieving the tough task of swimming to converted personal best times in all eight races were Angus Bathe, Emilie Krabes, Marianne Trembley, Micaela Pearson and Jayden Johnston

CBC listeners demanding better

King of Pop…

By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - A group of dedicated CBC listeners made their way to city hall last Monday night to express their disappointment with what they consider a lack of local programming on the federally-owned broadcaster. In making the presentation, Kathleen Palm referenced a CRTC hearing that took place in Prince Rupert back in August of 1988 when the broadcaster sought to change the source of programming for the station from Prince Rupert to Prince George while reducing the number of people at the Prince Rupert location from 14 down to two. The federal regulator denied both of those applications. “Should the corporation be permitted to eliminate entirely its programming originating from CFPR, residents of the northwest part of British Columbia would lose an important and valued service and be deprived of programs which, due in large part to their source, reflect the unique interests, concerns and demands of the many listeners living in the more remote and under-served communities in the area,” read the CRTC ruling. “The commission ... expects the CBC to maintain a level of staffing which will be sufficient to ensure the provision of an adequate amount of locally-orig-

CBC listeners say there needs to be more northwest coverage. inated programming. In terms of an appropriate level of staffing and programming, the Commission notes that the CBC intends to staff its Prince George and Kelowna storefront production bureaus with four persons each in order to produce a three-hour weekday morning program.” However, Palm said the CBC simply isn’t adhering to that ruling and the result is a lack of quality local programming. “There is not much programming for us here in the Northwest ... what we are concerned about is that when you listen to the CBC programming, you will hear ‘you are listening to’ such-and-such a frequency in Kispiox or Ocean Falls, but that is all you will hear about Kispiox or Ocean Falls until something bad happens,” said Palm.

“We say Daybreak North is not enough and two people are not enough to provide adequate news and programming. It is time to ask the CBC to do the right thing ... with four people we would get discussion of emergency broadcasts and all kinds of news and programming that links our communities together.” Along with her presentation, Palm included a letter from New Hazelton council expressing their desire to see improved coverage of the region. “CBC’s mission is ‘to provide Canadians with information when and how they want it’ and we want CBC to deliver the news of our region in Northwest B.C.,” wrote then-mayor Alice Maitland last August. A representative for CBC did not respond to a request for comment by press time.
