Binding arbitration suggested for Kitimat By Cecile Favron

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - There is still no deal in the three-month District of Kitimat workers’ strike that has left Kitimat at a standstill. The District of Kitimat has proposed binding arbitration as the third round of mediation between Unifor 2300 and the district failed to reach a deal by the afternoon of May 23. Negotiations had to be wrapped-up by that time because the mediator was scheduled to fly out of town. The latest three-day round was the last instalment of nine days of mediated discussion between the union and the District that have only aggravated tensions between them. In the last minutes of the May 23 meeting, the union’s Bargain-

ing Committee outlined their “Bedrock Position.” They stated that this final Offer to Settle was “the bare minimum that will improve our working lives.” The District was unable to respond to the proposal slated just five minutes before the mediator’s departure. In a subsequent press release, the district proposed binding arbitration – a process that would see a mediator draw-up a binding deal after listening to both parties. “Enough is enough, we are willing to put everything on the table,” said Mayor Phil Germuth of the proposal. As of early last week, the union had still not commented on whether or not they are considering the proposal and only saying in a press release on May 26th that they are close to a deal.

WE’VE GOT YOU COVERED IN KITIMAT!

Both sides claim to have made significant compromises over the mediation process and blame the other party for the stalemate. Germuth maintains that the district’s offer is fair and, in a press release on May 25, states that “this dispute is ultimately about who is going to run the District of Kitimat.” The union maintains issues around safety and harassment and the extent of contracted-out work are not being properly addressed by the district’s proposals. They also have concerns about signing an agreement that does not guarantee a minimum number of full-time jobs nor assigns wage increases based on the level of new industry in Kitimat. Meanwhile, the district maintains that its proposed 2.5

per cent wage increase in each of the next three years and new full-time jobs in leisure services are generous. They also feel that their current policy on safety and harassment is adequate. The heated negotiations have devolved into shouting in some cases and strikers have picketed Kitimat council meetings. The district called in the efforts of a third-party negotiator to handle the city’s side after the district felt that bargaining sessions were becoming too abusive to staff. Details of the last two months’ negotiations cannot be released as they are bound by a confidentiality agreement. The strike has greatly affected Kitimat recreational services. Events such as hockey tournaments and next month’s Bull-oRama have been cancelled.

Another LNG agreement signed By Shaun Thomas

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The provincial government and Pacific NorthWest LNG signed a project development agreement on May 20 that both parties say moves the project closer to becoming a reality. “For Pacific NorthWest LNG and Progress Energy, the issue of the highest importance was stability and predictability in relation to an investment decision on a $36-billion project ... this is a good day for stability and predictability,” said Pacific NorthWest LNG president Michael Culbert. “This is extremely good news and is indicative of the B.C. government’s commitment to develop an LNG industry,” he said. The deal, which includes a long-term royalty agreement that covers 2016 through to 2038, is anything but final as it will need apWARM

what he termed a “robust return on resources” to the province and its citizens. He singled out job creation, saying so far large-scale LNG proposals call for temporary foreign workers to make up the bulk of the construction work force. Any development agreements between LNG companies and the province should include provisions for provincial employment, said Horgan. “In my view she’s spending too much energy on meeting the needs of the companies and not nearly enough energy to meet the needs of the province,” he said of the premier. Horgan was in Terrace last weeking meeting municipal and other officials and attending a labour conference.

Unions donate cash By Cecile Favron

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - A group of unions has made a sizable donation in support of the District of Kitimat workers who have been on strike since Feb. 28. The building trades union workers, stationed in Kitimat to work on the Rio Tinto Alcan Kitimat Modernization Project, donated $12,000 to the relief fund. The unions that donated out-ofpocket for the cause were from the BC Millwrights, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, The United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipe Fitting Industry, and the Ironworkers’ Union. Sam Adams, Union Representative for the BC Millwrights, noted that it was the “working men on the ground” that really felt motivated to give to the striking Unifor 2300 municipal workers.

“As craftsmen that travel, they have seen what happens to the living wage in communities when union workers come into the area,” he said. The presence of the unionized workers, Adams claims, drives up the cost of living in the area and displaces some people. This is why he asked his coworkers to donate to the workers that are locked in a three-month stalemate with the District of Kitimat. “It is just unions helping unions,” he explained. This money will go toward holding over district workers, who are only receiving minimal strike pay from their union, until a deal can be reached. Adams it pleased that his idea to ask his colleges to start a fund was so well received and hopes that other unions in the area will do the same. Unifor 2300 workers have been striking over issues of wages, job security, and safety and harassment. Several mediation attempts to reach an agreement have failed.

First cruise ship of 2015 arriving in Prince Rupert Sunday By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - There will be a few hundred more people making their way around Prince Rupert on Sunday afternoon as the 2015 cruise season gets underway. The first ship of the season, the 490-passenger Seven Seas Navigator, will be pulling in to Northland Cruise Terminal at one p.m. for the start of an eight-hour visit that will see passengers depart at approxi-

mately 9 p.m. “The Prince Rupert Port Authority is looking forward to welcoming back the 490-passenger Seven Seas Navigator this Sunday, as Prince Rupert launches the 2015 cruise season with the first of 10 calls,” said Brian Friesen, marketing manager for the Prince Rupert Port Authority, noting this year will be an introduction to Prince Rupert for some of the vessels. “This summer we are excited to host two new ships to the Alas-

ka theatre, as the French cruise line Ponant enters the market.” While the port authority has confirmed the entry of two new ships, Friesen said there is still ongoing work in the background to draw even more ships to Prince Rupert in the years ahead. “During the off-season, the Prince Rupert Port Authority hired cruise consultants Bermello & Ajamil to conduct a cruise market assessment to better understand current market opportunities,” he

“We are excited to host two new ships.”

Chamber of Commerce as well as local tourism operators, a cruise working group has been formed and is currently building a cruise tourism strategy for the future based on the findings of the report.” The next ship to call on Northland will be during Seafest weekend when the 684-passenger MS Regatta makes its first of two calls to Prince Rupert. In total, seven vessels will bring 3,366 passengers to Prince Rupert between May 31 and Sept. 22.

Popsicle bridge contest tests building acumen KITIMAT - Lapointe Engineering Ltd. (LEL) hosted, in partnership with the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists Northern Branch (APEGBC), the fourth annual Popsicle Stick Bridge Building Competition on May 2 at the Mount Elizabeth Middle Secondary School. LEL was able to design and fabricate a Bridge Breaker Machine for the Northern region, which presses up to 300 pounds of force on to the model bridges to see how they stack up to the pressure. This year marked

the highest turnout in the event’s history, with a total of 119 teams participating from Hazelton, New Hazelton, Prince Rupert, Telkwa, Terrace, and Kitimat. The Most Innovative Bridge Award was presented to a Category 1 team “The Maple Arch” from the Ecole Mountainview School in Terrace. The Strongest Bridge in Category 1 went to “K & N Bridge Company” from Kildala Elementary School in Kitimat. Their bridge held 154 pounds of force. The Strongest

Bridge in Category 2 and the Overall Strongest Bridge went to “Dream Iron Crossing” from Prince Rupert Middle School in Prince Rupert. Their bridge withstood 264 pounds of pressure. “Team Phenomenon” from MEMSS and “Bob’s Builders” from Kitimat City High tied for Strongest Bridge in Category 3 at 141 lbs. The Strongest Bridge in Category 4 went to “Cop My Mix Tape Next Week it’s Gonna be Fire” from MEMSS, holding up to a force of 177 pounds.

“Great fun for the whole family & aiming to keep it that way”

The Kispiox Valley Community Center Association and the RCMP have banded together to ensure any events held on the community grounds will be family friendly. Over the last couple of years there has been a substantial increase in the consumption of alcohol, underage drinking, and destructive parties. This is going to change. After consulting with the RCMP and obtaining legal advice, the Kispiox Valley Community Center Association and all user groups are clamping down. This is what you may expect when you come to our events: 1. If you were identified as a problem last year, don't bother to show up, you will be refused entry at the main gate 2. If you are under the age of 19 and caught drinking, you will be prosecuted 3. If you are drunk and disorderly, the RCMP will be called and you will be taken to jail 4. We reserve the right to search all persons and property to ensure the security of all persons in attendance. If you are not willing to be searched, or have your vehicle searched, you will not be permitted entry to the grounds. 5. A vigilant security team who will be on call 24/7 Kicking off this year's events is the 68th Annual Kispiox Valley Rodeo on June 6th & 7th. The following month is the 21st Annual Kispiox Valley Music Festival July 24th, 25, 26th, two of the largest events in the North West. Please help us to keep these events family oriented.

College names Geri McDougall recipient of inaugural distinguished alumni award

NORTHWEST COMMUNTY COLLEGE PHOTO / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

Geri McDougll is the first-ever recipient Northwest Community College’s distinguished alumni award. She’s shown here with college president Ken Burt.

TERRACE - This year’s recipient of Northwest Community college’s inaugural Distinguished Alumni Award goes to a woman who started her educational path at Northwest Community College in 1986. Geri McDougall was born in Hazelton and was widowed in 1976 – leaving her with five children to raise on her own with the help of her extended family. She started at Northwest Community College in 1986 taking Adult Basic Education and the then- Human Service Worker Program, which later became the Social Service Work Program. Geri says the staff and instructors were instrumental in terms of the support she received as she worked toward completion. She successfully obtained her GED and was accepted at the University of Victoria. She graduated from that program in 1992 with a Bachelor of Social Work despite dealing with tremendous

personal hardship during her schooling. Two years prior to graduation, her son was injured in a car accident and spent months recovering at the GF Strong Rehabilitation Centre in Vancouver. Geri juggled her full course load in Victoria with her dedication to visiting her son every weekend in Vancouver while he recuperated. The support she received from instructors and advisors helped her complete the program successfully. From 1992-1998 Geri played an integral role with the Hagwilget Village Council. She worked as Social Worker, then became the Band Administrator. In the course of her time there, she also negotiated the arrival of the Royal Bank, the new Band Administration & Health Centre, and Band Hall being built on Hagwilget Reserve. From 1998 to 2012 she devoted her energies to the Northwest Band Social Worker Associa-

Hazelton location for community paramedicine program HAZELTON - Hazelton is to be one of the first communities in B.C. to welcome the community paramedicine program being introduced by B.C. Emergency Health Services (BCEHS). The other communities are Chetwynd in northeastern B.C. and Fort St. James which is north of Vanderhoof. Under the program, paramedics will provide primary care services (within their scope of practice) to increase access to basic health care services in non-urgent settings, in partnership with local health care providers. The enhanced role is not

intended to replace any care provided by health professionals, like nurses, but rather, complements and supports the work that these important professionals do each day. BCEHS has been coordinating the implementation of community paramedicine in B.C. with the Ministry of Health, the province’s health authorities, and the Ambulance Paramedics of BC (CUPE 873). “By phasing in community paramedicine, we are developing an integrated approach to patient care to best suit the unique needs of

each community population,” said Health Minister Terry Lake. “We know that health-care providers in rural and remote areas may face challenges and we value their guidance in how we can best engage local paramedics to address gaps in service.” Interior communities will be announced in June 2015, followed by Vancouver Island communities in late summer. This gradual start allows BCEHS to focus on one health authority at a time, and to develop the contacts needed in each community to ensure community

paramedics will be well-integrated members of the established healthcare teams. “B.C.’s paramedics are highly trained medical professionals, who are well suited for this new role in community health,” said Bronwyn Barter, president of the Ambulance Paramedics of BC (CUPE 873). “With the community paramedicine program will come better patient care and new full-time career opportunities across the province.” In Phase One, BCEHS paramedic unit chiefs will help confirm the specific services required in the

community, for which community paramedics, given their training, are able to provide. It is expected that community paramedics will be delivering community health services in the initial communities in the fall of 2015. Phase Two, which will build on the “lessons learned” in Phase One, is projected to begin by January 2016. Phase Three, which will see a continued expansion into additional communities and explore the integration of community paramedics into clinics and facilities, is scheduled for 2017.

UNBC to study cumulative impact of industry By Shaun Thomas THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - As major industry turns its attention to the North, the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) has launched an initiative to examine what the cumulative impacts of development could be. The Cumulative and Community Impacts Research Consortium (CCIRC) will provide a platform for research and dialogue on recent and proposed increases for resource development across Northern British Columbia and the effects on communities and regions. The CCIRC will bring together experts, knowledge and resources from three existing UNBC institutes — the Community Development Institute, the Health Research Institute and the Natural Resources and Environmental Studies Institute. “As British Columbia and Canada continue to look north, it is important that we gain a robust understanding of effects associated with development. The

CCIRC is an exciting new platform to have these important discussions that will lead the way to inform future policy decisions,” said UNBC president Dr. Daniel Weeks. “The CCIRC will draw on diverse expertise to engage in dialogue with regional voices and conduct research on the cumulative and long-term impacts of resource development. Our work seeks to integrate environmental, community, and health perspectives to improve policy and practice,” added CCIRC project lead Chris Buse. The group plans to begin discussing development with First Nations, businesses, industry groups, residents, government officials and other stakeholders in the coming months, with plans in place for community workshops and online information hubs. The CCIRC is funded through a $225,000 contribution from the Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions (PICS) and UNBC’s Office of Research. “This innovative endeavor

PRINCE RUPERT Hundreds of paddles are being personalized as part of a culture program hosted by the Prince Rupert Friendship House Association. The Friendship House Paddle for Wellness is an educational, hands-on program engaging Friendship House staff, clients and community members in a number of culturallybased activities. As part of the 2015 Friendship House Paddle for Wellness, North Coast residents are getting to experience painting their own paddle, having them blessed by elders in a historic ceremony and showcasing them during the Seafest parade. The project is being led by Peter Loy, who has put on similar programs in a number of schools in the area. “The really exciting thing about this is that (people from) every program at the Friendship House will be working on a paddle, right from the little preschoolers to the elders,” said Loy. The 300 paddles being used for the program arrived on May 14. Before individuals started working on them later that day, the paddles were blessed by Friendship House elders with a prayer.

Terrace families donate fish to Terrace Churches Food Bank TERRACE - The Terrace Churches Food Bank was the recent recipient of nearly 500 cans of wild north coast sockeye thanks to five families from the Terrace Pentecostal Assembly. Each family contributed enough money to purchase one case of 48 tins of salmon from the Canadian Fishing Company cannery in Prince Rupert and the company then matched the purchases for 10 cases in all. The Terrace Pentecostal Church has raised money in the past for packaged foods for the food bank and church member Ron Bartlett credits his wife Birgitte for coming up with a different kind of food source for the food bank. “First it’s local to the area and to the economy and second it’s nutritious,” he said of the salmon. “So now there will be a can of salmon for each distribution at the food bank,” Bartlett added. The fish was distributed in May.

She’s crusading for vaccinations By Cameron Orr THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - Janet Munro has been leading the charge over the past 10 years to have comprehensive meningitis vaccines brought to B.C.’s youth, and even as the campaign to have them incorporated in to the public health system moves on, she’s brought clinics to Mount Elizabeth Middle Secondary to get the ball rolling. Munro and her husband lost their son Bradley to the Y-strain of meningitis while he was studying at Thompson Rivers University. The incident kicked off a major push by the family to raise awareness and get other youth protected. The Munros are part of a coalition of parents advocating for the vaccines, called MeningitisBC.org. The recent clinic on May 20 was the second of three taking place in Kitimat. Two are for the two doses of the B-strain vaccine while the third is for the four-strains of meningitis. Munro says the B strain takes two doses because of the complicated nature of its makeup. “The B is the hardest of the strains to curve because there are so

many different bacteria that make up the B,” she said. The four strain covers A, B, W135, and Y. Through the efforts of these school-based clinics, Kitimat is at the forefront of protection against the disease. “These kids here in Kitimat will be the first kids in the entire province of B.C. that’ll be vaccinated against all five common strains of meningitis,” said Munro of the project. These meningitis strains are not covered under the public health system in B.C., although eight other provinces have incorporated them. Their existence outside of the public system does create cost barriers for parents. A single shot of the B strain vaccine, for instance, costs $120. Certain health care providers will cover the cost of the four-strain version. This cost barrier is something MeningitisBC is looking to overcome for parents and offers some financial assistance for parents who need it. Three Kitimat students were eligible for assistance. “When the parent is not covered you’re looking at $360 to get these vaccines before they go off to university,” she

said. “We’ve been trying to raise money so we can support some parents to cover the cost of these vaccines.” Munro says she’s still working to get the clinics in to Terrace

schools. Because she’s not known in that community Munro said it’s harder to get Northern Health endorsement to run the clinics, even though it’s all done safely.

Abandoned campfires a reason for concern By Cecile Favron

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - With the May long weekend in the near past and camping season well underway, the Northwest Fire Region has been exposed to a new and preventable threat: abandoned campfires. Over just two days of the long weekend, May 17-18, fire wardens for the BC Fire Centre found seven abandoned fires endangering the campground, said spokesperson Olivia Pojar. Failure to put a campfire out is a leading cause of wildfires in this region. There have been two new fires as of last week in the Northwest Region which spans from the Yukon along the coast and then to Endako and Tweesner Park. The only fire that was still burning as of last Friday was the sizable Inklin River Fire 90 kilometres southeast of Atlin. The fire had gown to 250 hectares in size and was a result of the thunderstorms that rolled across the region. There were also four fires in the

northwest region in “patrol” status, meaning that crews are checking back for hangover fires hidden in a tree’s root system or under the soil. So far this year there have been 18 fires in the Northwest region and a total of 261 hectares burned. Twelve of these fires have been human caused and six have been lightning caused. All four of the Northwest Fire Centre’s unit crews, the largest firefighting units in the region, have been called out to help the Prince George Fire Centre battle the Little Bobtail Lake fire. They will be called back if a major fire starts within the Northwest Region. There are currently eight initial attack crews still in the region to respond quickly if another fire does start here. The northern section of the Northwest Fire Region has been put on high alert with a fire danger rating of moderate to high and forecast thunderstorms as the heat continues. To report a fire or suspicious activity, call *5555 on your cell phone or 1-800-663-5555.

William Hilts, son of Maria and Stewart Hilts, died on Friday, May 22nd, doing what he loved, flying a water bomber fighting forest fires in northern Alberta. He was 38. He leaves behind his younger brother Matthew and his wife Paula, his sister Katherine and her husband Darryl, his nephew Jaxson, and his grandmother Rosa Gallo, as well as many other aunts, uncles and cousins. He also leaves a very strong network of friends in BC and elsewhere, many with ties to the flying community. William took his pilot training at Confederation College in Thunder Bay, later flying for Kenora Air Services, Turtle Airways in Fiji, Harbour Air out of Prince Rupert, and Wasaya Airways in northern Ontario. He worked his way to his dream job flying water bombers for Conair in BC and Alberta starting four years ago. He was part of the team fighting the Cold Lake fire in northern Alberta when his plane went down. A memorial site has been set up and we encourage you to visit and read a bit more of his story, at: www. forevermissed.com/william-hilts/. The family would appreciate stories, memories and photos from his friends, and a memorial service will be held at a future date. If you feel so compelled, donate to a charity of your choice in memory of Will. We are comforted knowing that Will was following his dreams and doing what he loved.

Public Comment Period

Pretium Resources Inc. proposes to develop an underground gold and silver mine (Brucejack Gold Mine Project, the ‘Project’) with a production rate of 2,700 tonnes per day over an estimated 18-year mine life. The Project is located ~65 km northwest of Stewart, BC within the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine, and is currently accessed by an existing exploration access road from Highway 37. The proposed mine site is located in the Brucejack watershed, adjacent to Brucejack Lake. The Project is subject to environmental assessment under both the Canadian Environmental Assessment (CEA) Act, which is currently ongoing, and B.C.’s Environmental Assessment (EA) Act, completed on March 26th, 2015, upon issuance of Environmental Assessment Certificate #M15-01. There are two types of Project infrastructure: (1) mine site, and (2) ancillary infrastructure. The mine site includes the main camp, underground ore extraction, ore processing, tailings deposition, water treatment facilities and effluent discharge to Brucejack Lake. Ancillary infrastructure consists of the access road, communication towers, avalanche control stations, airstrip, minerals transfer station, and worker housing facilities (camps). The Major Projects Office of the Ministry of Forests, Lands, and Natural Resource Operations (FLNRO) is currently inviting public comments for the following authorizations, related to the ongoing review of the Project: File No.

TERRACE - Members of the Terrace and area guiding movement gathered at Uplands Elementary in Terrace on May 20 for a ceremony marking the advancement of Sparks, Brownies, Guides and Pathfinders to their next levels. Refreshments were also served once the formal ceremony was completed. The guiding movement in Terrace takes part in a number of activities throughout the year.

Conservatives choose their election candidate TERRACE - Tyler Nesbitt of Terrace has been chosen as the Conservative Party of Canada’s candidate for the Skeena - Bulkley Valley riding for this fall’s federal election. Nesbitt defeated another Terrace resident, MaryAnn Freeman. Voting took place May 23 and May 24 through a mobile poll which stopped in communities throughout the riding before concluding in Terrace last night. Candidates had a chance to speak and party members to ask questions at each stop. “We had an ex-

About strokes

VICTORIA - Stroke awareness in British Columbia will be getting a boost with $500,000 for the Heart and Stroke Foundation’s FAST Signs of Stroke campaign. “Stroke can happen at any age, and when it does, seconds count. Knowing the signs of stroke is integral to getting yourself or a loved one life-saving treatment as soon as possible,” said health minister Terry Lake. “This campaign will help B.C. continue to have one of the lowest stroke-mortality rates in Canada.”

cellent turn out, much greater than anticipated at all voting polls,” said riding association Cathy Lindseth of the two-day vote. “We wish to thank MaryAnn Freeman, the other candidate nominee for her participation. It was an exciting weekend for all, providing some invigorating enthusiasm for the next stage in preparing for the up-coming federal election to be held this fall,” added Lindseth. Nesbitt is a manager with Nechako Northcoast, the company with the provincial road and bridge maintenance con-

tract in the area. He was born in Prince Rupert, educated at Simon Fraser Universigy in Burnaby and has lived in Terrace since 2009. Nesbitt has described himself as a “compassionate Conservative” and has stressed job creation as a key part of his campaign platform. He says Enbridge’s planned Northern Gateway pipeline needs to meet all federal and provincial environmental and other regulations. The federal election date is set for Monday, Oct. 19.

STEWART - After months of pushback from residents, businesses, and politicians on both sides of the border, a compromise is in the works to restore 24hour access between the communities of Stewart, B.C. and Hyder, Alaska with Canada’s border services agency confirming that it has been looking at alternative options to allow people to cross the border overnight. “We have been consulting with stakeholders in and around Stewart, B.C., as well as with first responders and law enforcement partners to explore additional alternative service options,” said Canada Border Service Agency (CBSA) spokesperson Robin Barcham in an email. He said that during discussions

with the community “unique considerations were brought forward” and that once the logistics were worked out, CBSA would be letting the public know the specifics of the new reporting procedures. Skeena-Bulkley Valley NDP Nathan Cullen said he spoke with CBSA officials last week and indicated that the solution could come by way of a 24-hour access phone that would allow residents, tourists, and workers to cross during the overnight hours. Now, there is a phone at the crossing that is for emergency access only. “It would only work if tourists, locals, people coming in from Hyder itself and to Stewart were able to get through that border as well,” said Cullen. “It’s a very unique situation.” The border connecting the two tiny commu-

nities has been closed overnight since April 1 – an open road manned by a border guard replaced with a locked gate and a phone. The two towns market themselves as a package and the residents of Hyder, which number around 90, rely on Stewart for medical and other services. Residents say they are still unclear of the motivation behind the closure. The move has been panned by stakeholders in both communities, as well as the union representing Canada’s border guards. CBSA says the amount of people using the crossing overnight didn’t justify keeping it open and staffed, so it reduced the border’s hours from open 24 hours a day to closed between midnight and 8 a.m. The timeline should be “sooner than later and we are hope-

fully talking days, not months,” said Cullen. “I don’t think there’s a huge technological change we have to do, it’s just a matter of changing some of the protocols.” As for the border services agency, “talking to them last night they are fully engaged and I get the sense they feel the urgency of this – to not leaving these communities feeling so uncertain,” said Cullen. “The responsiveness of government is important in all of this. When the government makes a decision that upsets people, are they able to respond and adapt and realize a mistake was made and how can they correct it?” Cullen challenged public safety minister Stephen Blaney to visit Stewart and Hyder so he could better understand the connection between the two communities.

Schaeffer placed third in the junior boys long jump event with 5.16 metres. “All three athletes from Charles Hays have qualified for provin-

PRINCE RUPERT - Skeena — Bulkley Valley MP Nathan Cullen says something seems strange about last week’s announcement of a project development agreement between the provincial government and Pacific NorthWest LNG. “I was curious about the fact the Lax Kw’alaams rejection was followed so closely by the premier’s photo-op. I think there may be a bit of a battle for public attention and media coverage ... the contrast was quite noticeable. “The project was rejected by the Lax Kw’alaams and there is concern about the project along the pipeline, but the Premier is there smiling and saying everything in OK,” he said during a May 21 media call.

“I don’t think the province has done a good job addressing the concerns of people on the North Coast.” Nathan Cullen “The premier is all smiles, but there are hurdles to overcome including having the deal passed by the Legislature and having community support. Those are significant, I don’t think you can dismiss them, and I don’t think the province has done a good job addressing the concerns of people on the North Coast.” As well as questioning the timing of the

announcement, Cullen said he found it odd that the announcement was made in a major urban centre far away from the shores of Lelu Island. “I think that they made the announcement in Vancouver rather than on the North Coast is telling. If you have community support, then you should come to the community for these announcements,” he said. However, Cullen said much of the blame for the opposition to projects such as this falls on the shoulders of the federal government and Prime Minister Stephen Harper. “When you gut the environmental assessment legislation and muzzle your own scientists you completely remove trust in the process,” he said. “It is now difficult for the public to have faith in the process.”
