Mount Polley Mine’s short-term permit to treat and discharge water from the mine site has been approved by the Ministry of Environment. The permit is needed because it is estimated that, under normal precipitation conditions, water levels in the Springer Pit will reach permitted capacity in April 2016, the ministry said Monday. Treated water will be discharged into Hazeltine Creek and flow approximately seven kilometres to a sediment pond. From the sediment pond, the treated water will enter a pipeline for discharge through diffusers approximately 30 to 40 metres below the surface of Quesnel Lake. Imperial Metals vice-president of corporate affairs Steve Robertson said the government signed off on the monitoring plan that the company has proposed late Monday. “Now that it is approved we can begin to discharge the water,” Robertson said, noting the company has faith in the permitting process. “We live in an environment where there is a tough regulatory regime, but it works.” With the temporary water discharge permit, the mine will only be able to store tailings in the Springer Pit and cannot use the tailings storage impoundment that breached in August 2014, Robertson added. United Steelworkers Union president Paul French said the union is happy the permit happened sooner than later. “We watched the process as it unfolded and saw it come out with positive results for the discharge of the water,” French said. “People are worried it’s going to be tailings water going into the lake, but it’s going to be treated water, and it’s basically groundwater.” It was unfortunate the water discharge permit wasn’t approved five or six years ago, French added. Of the 300 people working at

Mount Polley, about 250 of them are unionized, French confirmed. Final approval of the permit was made by a statutory decision maker from the MOE after a 30-day public consultation and comment period and a comprehensive technical review by the Cariboo Mine Development Review Committee. The committee includes representatives from provincial agencies, First Nations, City of Williams Lake and Cariboo Regional District, community of Likely, and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and Environment Canada. Cariboo Regional District Chair Al Richmond said it was a good day for the region. “We are pleased and relieved the mine can get on with the next steps of what needs to be done,” Richmond said. “We were worried because the water level in the Springer Pit was getting high, but the mine will have to manage that as it sees fit.” Williams Lake Mayor Walt Cobb echoed Richmond saying the news was an early perfect Christmas present. “I am pleased they got to this stage,” Cobb said. The ministry also said there was extensive engagement with the Williams Lake Indian Band and Soda Creek Indian Band as well as the residents of Likely. Next week Mount Polley Mine will host two public meetings to present an application for the resumption of full-time operations it submitted mid-November. The meetings take place Monday, Dec. 7 at the Likely community hall from 7 to 9 p.m. and Wednesday, Dec. 9 in Williams Lake at the Gibraltar Room from 7 to 9 p.m. “There is a lot of work to figure out the details for the resuming fulltime operations,” Robertson said. “Part of the permitting process is to be able to allow the plan to be perfected.” It is expected the mine will submit its completed plan by June 2016.

NH warns of scams Northern Health has become aware of fraudulent claims about door-to-door surveys and recruitment services where people are pretending to be Northern Health employees. Northern Health has reported these concerns to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Northern Health would like to remind members of the public to be cautious what information they provide to people, and if you are unsure please contact hello@ northernhealth.ca or your local health facility. If you feel that your personal information may be compromised, please contact the Royal Canadian Mounted Police or the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre.
Door-to-door air quality surveys
There are claims that a person is going door-to-door in Prince George claiming to be a Northern Health employee conducting air quality surveys. The person comes back a short time later and requests access to the person’s house. The person does produce some form of identification saying they’re with Northern Health. At this time our program areas are not conducting door to door surveys, and do not normally undertake this type of work. Our outreach usually happens at community events. If a Northern Health employee is
coming to your house, it is usually with a pre-booked appointment. If you are concerned about someone coming to your door claiming to be a Northern Health staff member, please take down their name and call one of our facilities to confirm their employment and purpose. Contact information for Northern Health facilities is available on Northernhealth.ca. If the person does not work for Northern Health or you do not feel comfortable with the encounter, you should also contact your local RCMP office.
Recruitment scam
We have become aware that internet and telephone scammers have been impersonating Northern Health employees to try and obtain personal information. We do not hire or accept any applications through social media sites, by phone, or by text. Our ExpectMore website is the only place to apply for a job at Northern Health. Northern Health does not collect any personal information, including banking details, by phone or text. If you think you may have been contacted by someone impersonating a Northern Health employee, please call 1-877905-1155 (toll free) to report the incident. To learn more about scams and how to protect yourself, visit the Canadian AntiFraud Centre.
Vehicle vs. building RCMP were called to the scene of a motor vehicle incident in the 200 block of Reid Street Tuesday afternoon for a report that a vehicle had struck the front of a building. The investigation revealed that the driver of the Chevy was parking the vehicle and accidentally pressed the gas peddle instead of the break, causing the vehicle to jump the curve, striking the second vehicle, which then struck the building. Nobody was injured during the incident. Karen Powell photo

Northern Health marks World AIDS Day 2015 by building on success transmission, and cure those currently living with hepatitis C • Collaborating with primary care practices across the region to further increase testing and treatment currently occurring in family doctors’ offices and primary care clinics across the region • Partnering with community organizations on an RFI and RFP process that will re-examine existing contracts and make up to an additional $180,000 available to distribute to successful organizations to improve the reach and impact of prevention, testing, treatment and support services across the North “We know that awareness, testing and treatment are increasing, but some people are still unaware of their infection and some living with HIV and hepatitis C can be better supported”, Ciro Panessa, Northern Health’s Regional Director of Chronic Diseases, said. “We will continue to involve the most knowledgeable and most affected people to ensure that we can prevent new cases of HIV and keep people who already have

the disease healthy; we are confident our approach will accomplish this goal.” The full HIV/ AIDS and Hepatitis C plan is available at HIV101.ca. It focuses on preventing new infections from happening by being more proactive about safer sex and harm reduction distribution and recovery, timely and more easily accessible testing to catch new infections early, and supporting people to maintain treatment so that infections do not progress to AIDS. The new plan builds on the successes and learnings reported in the July 2015 Seek and Treat for Optimal Prevention (STOP) of HIV Progress Report. The report released in July 2015 showed a 39 per cent increase in testing between 2009 to 2014 in northern B.C., and the rate of testing growing each year. There are a number of projects that have helped increase the testing rate in northern B.C. including the STOP HIV/AIDS pilot project and HIV101 campaign. These campaigns and successes were built on partnerships, and we will continue to collaborate to enhance services in
northern B.C. Point of care testing which is now offered at eight Northern Health and First Nations Health Authority sites, provides a fast and simple screening for HIV antibodies using a small amount of blood from a person’s finger. The results are available in minutes. In addition, more acute care facilities are starting to offer an HIV test as part of regular blood work. Fort St. James, Vanderhoof and Fraser Lake introduced this practice in spring of 2014. We continue to look at methods to expand and support this practice. “We’re proud of the work that has been accomplished to date by partners across northern B.C., yet know there are further opportunities to stop the spread of HIV and increase treatment,” Dr. Abu Hamour, Northern Health’s lead for blood borne pathogens, said. “People need to be aware that there is effective treatment available to them if they do contract HIV, and that we’re here to support them throughout their lives.” Even with the

Northern Health is marking World AIDS Day 2015 by building on successes to stop HIV transmission in the North. The plan will build on our current understanding about HIV transmission and treatment, while broadening the reach and impact of community services. The plan will also build on the foundations of the award winning STOP HIV/AIDS pilot project and HIV101. Over the next year, Northern Health’s HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis C team will involve family physicians, specialists, community agencies and Northern Health staff in coordinating and improving efforts to achieve the Ministry of Health’s “From Hope to Health; towards an AIDSfree Generation” goals, and global targets established by UNAIDS. The approach will focus on: • Establishing the “From Hope to Health” regional HIV / Hepatitis C specialized care team to better support those living with HIV to achieve viral suppression, meaning the disease is undetectable and with a low risk of

successes for the STOP HIV program and the HIV101 campaign, HIV rates remain high across northern B.C. To help address this, Northern Health is releasing this new plan. Deaths related to HIV in northern B.C. have dropped from 13 in 2009 to five in 2014. It is the goal of the Province of B.C., Northern Health, and our partners to continue reducing these numbers, allowing people to live longer.

Forest trade mission finds headwinds in Asia TOM FLETCHER Black Press Forests Minister Steve Thomson is leading the B.C. industry’s annual trade mission to promote lumber sales in Asia this week, with a focus on maintaining sales in a soft market. Accompanied by more than 30 executives from B.C. forest companies, Thomson started the trip Monday with a visit to Japan’s largest-ever wood building, an elderly care facility under construction in Tokyo. The visit comes as Japan’s economy is slipping back into recession. Japan has been a major lumber customer for B.C. since the 1970s, and is the third largest buyer behind the United States and China. Sales volume to Japan is down so far this year, but value is up slightly to $556 million, in a market known for demanding high-grade wood. The next stops are Dalian and Beijing, China, which is B.C.’s biggest recent success story with sales that topped $1 billion last year for mostly lowergrade lumber. So far in 2015, sales to China are off 11 per cent from the same time last year as the world’s most populous country struggles to maintain economic growth. In an interview as he prepared to leave, Thomson said B.C. lumber producers are faced with slow sales in Asia and a decline in timber supply for standard lumber in the wake of the pine beetle epidemic. After years of promotion, B.C. has reached 43 per cent of all China’s imported lumber, over

competitors including Russia, Australia and New Zealand. “One of the focuses of the mission is to move the product up the value chain, particularly in the China market, because as you look to supply limitations, you want to make sure you get maximum value out of it,” Thomson said. “So it’s important to move up into the mid-rise multifamily construction, infill partition walls, hybrid construction, that aspect of it.” Along with the industry and the federal government, B.C. has promoted wood construction as a green and earthquake-resistant alternative to concrete, the building standard in China. Susan Yurkovich, named president of the Council of Forest Industries in June, is making her first official visit to Asia.COFI represents B.C.’s

biggest producers, including Interfor, West Fraser, Weyerhaeuser, Conifex, Domtar, Gorman, Dunkley, Babine Forest Products and Canfor. Yurkovich said member companies have meetings lined up with Asian buyers, and she wants to spread the word that B.C. is a reliable supplier of lumber from sustainably managed sources. B.C.’s top five lumber customers by volume are the U.S., China, Japan, Taiwan, Philippines and South Korea. With the Canada-U.S. softwood lumber agreement having expired, participants say diversifying B.C.’s lumber market is more important than ever.

Your portion of the debt
E
ver wonder what your personal share of Canada’s federal debt is? At this time of writing, it is $17,229.37. It will be higher, of course, by the time you finish reading this editorial. Canada’s federal debt, which can be found at debtclock.ca, is at this moment $615,135,157,xxx. xx. We have marked the last five digits as x’s because those numbers are turning over in less than a second – so fast as to make it pointless to include them. So, Canada’s federal debt is growing by $11,424,657.53 per day, and $476,027.40 per hour. Watching the numbers spinning ever-forward is frightening. It begs the question, at what point does a so-called “have” nation like Canada become a “have not” nation? Whatever the answer, the debt clock clearly indicates in which direction we are heading, and it isn’t the right one. We hope MPs will take this to heart and chose to govern wisely as Canada’s 42nd Parliament convenes today. So now, at this point in the writing of this editorial, your personal share of Canada’s federal debt is $17,229.54 and the federal debt is $615,135,307,xxx. xx Of course, by the time you read this, it will be much more. And that, you can take to the bank. The brave might dare to check out where we stand right now, at debtclock.ca. You might want to be sitting down when you do. –BP
Pit bulls were not meant to be pets A
four year old boy walking down the street with his mom on December 2nd, 2015 was attacked by a neighbour’s pit bulls after they escaped from underneath their gate in Detroit, Michigan. As his mother screamed and tried to shield her young child from their powerful jaws, he was ripped from her arms and dragged back under the gate where the ferocious dogs torturously mauled him. Xavier Strickland is the 25th person to be killed by pit bulls in the U.S. this year so far. He is the 193rd fatal victim since 2007, the year NFL player Michael Vick was convicted on dog fighting charges and pit bull propaganda kicked into high gear because of corrupt organizations like Best Friends Animal Society, Animal Farm Foundation, ASPCA and the Humane Society of the U.S., among others. Pit bull attacks have increased 773% since then, with the number of pit bulls involved in fatal and disfiguring attacks on people rising from 78 to 603. After this gruesome story was published online, the pit bull fanatics did what they always do: they posted pictures of their own “ador-
Lori Welbourne
On A Brighter Note able” pit bulls all over social media and repeated their usual rhetoric such as “It’s all how you raise them” and “Blame the deed not the breed.” This is pure fiction. Pit bulls were bred over hundreds of years for blood sport - for bull and bear baiting and then for dog fighting. This isn’t an opinion, it’s historical fact. Pit bulls were bred with a killing instinct and a killer bite, and about half their human victims are attacked by a trusted family pit bull raised in a loving home. In this particular case the owner was an opportunistic backyard breeder who wasn’t there at the time of the slaughter. The sole survivor of the killer dogs was pregnant, and even though she was merely acting on her genetic insticts, she should have been humanely shot to death as well. How dare anyone cham-
Less than 3 percent of the population owns pit bulls, yet these are the dogs responsible for killing, mutilating and severely injuring more humans and animals than all other breeds combined. It’s time we stop catering to this vocal minority and the multi million dollar funded pit bull lobby groups and start demanding public safety. The U.S. Army, Marine Corps and Air Force ban pit bulls from all their bases as well as privatized housing. It’s a travesty the rest of us aren’t offered the same protection. At least 475 people have been killed by pit bulls so far, and thousands more disgfigured. Hundreds of thousands of animals have also been fatally attacked. How many more pit bull assaults resulting in life flights, surgeries, psychological counselling and burials are we going to tolerate? The answer should be zero. When dog fighting was outlawed, the breeding of pit bulls should have been outlawed too. They were never meant to be household pets. Lori Welbourne is a syndicated columnist.

pion a breed of dog that puts the public at such a high risk when there are hundreds of safer breeds that do not. Breed specific legislation (BSL) is desperately needed for the protection of all, including the pit bulls who are victims as well. They are the most exploited, abused, neglected, abandoned, tortured, raped, overbred and euthanized dogs in North America. PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) has been pushing for mandatory sterilization for pit bulls for many years to protect them from being born into these horrors in the first place. The only ones who won’t benefit from BSL are dog fighters, breeders, those profiting from their existence and pit bull owners who don’t want to comply with reasonable regulations to keep the public safe. People, pets, livestock, tax payers, first responders, animal control and rescue workers would all be better off without the existence of pit bulls in our society. Shelters would no longer be over flowing, so safer breeds of dogs would have a better chance of being rescued, and euthanasia rates would plummet.

Urging work with all political parties Editor: After an election in which 9,093,630 (51.8 per cent) votes went nowhere, Justin Trudeau has a golden opportunity to bring a more democratic voting system to Canada. Liberals won a majority with 39.5 per cent of the popular vote and more than half of all voters were unable to cast an effective ballot. They now will wait another four years to have the opportunity to elect a representative aligned with their values – or not. Fair Vote Canada’s executive director declares: “Given the distortion of the popular vote, Trudeau
Letters to the Editor
must ensure Canadians will have equal and effective votes in future elections. Never again should we face a one-party, one-man government elected by a minority of voters. We urge you to work with all parties and enact voting rules for a true and modern representative democracy in time for the next election.” Canadians voted for change. This election was a referendum on the last false-majority government. They coalesced their votes around a promise to end first-past-the-post voting and an opportunity to have a truly demo-
cratic voting system that will make all our votes count – only proportional representation can deliver on that promise. In total, 51.8 per cent of Canadian voters cast votes for losing candidates – with the riding of Pierre-Boucher-Les Patriotes-Verchères casting the most ineffective votes: 71.3 per cent. A system of proportional representation could reduce that number to as low as five per cent. All parties are hurt by the outcome of winnertake-all elections Across the country: •93.88 per cent of Green Party voters couldn’t
elect a representative •76.78 per cent of Bloc voters couldn’t elect a representative •74.5 per cent of NDP voters couldn’t elect a representative •50.98 per cent of Conservative voters couldn’t elect a representative •and, 33.49 per cent of Liberal voters couldn’t elect a representative Under a proportional system the seat count would be: Lib 135, Con 109, NDP 68, GPC, 11, Bloc 15. Last month, omore than 500 Canadian academics, including several Fellows of the Royal Society of Canada, 29 Canada
Research Chairs and two professors with the Order of Canada, called on all political parties to work together to bring in a proportional electoral system. Fair Vote Canada and its supporters are asking Trudeau to be brave. We are asking him to lead and put the country and its citizens before his party and build a representative democracy where all Canadians have the opportunity to equally participate in the governance and policy making of our country. We hope he will seize this opportunity to build a country where every citizen is heard, where
diversity is respected and where representatives of a popular majority rule – a democratic country. A country that we can all proudly call Canada. Fair Vote Canada is a multi-partisan, citizens’ campaign representing 61,000 Canadians advocating for voting system reform. FVC promotes an introduction of an element of proportional representation in elections at all levels of government and in civil society.

QUESNEL ROTARY
L to R: Keith Corbett (25 years), Peter Walsh (35 years), John Higgins (44 years), Phil Warden 45 years), John Havens (50 years), Quesnel Rotary President Debbie Wiens, Douglas Gook (representing his father and Quesnel Rotary charter member Peter Gook, 60 years), and Rotary District Governor John Anderson from Tsawwassen.
On November 2nd, 1955, Rotary International granted a charter to Rotary Club of Quesnel. A few weeks later, December 17th, the new Rotarians held its Charter Night at Canadian Legion Hall. Ken Thibaudeu was elected as President to lead the Club, supported by Vice-President Don Patchett, Secretary Ed Westover, Treasurer Frank Burns (President for 1959-60), Sergeant-at-Arms Ben Barrett, and Directors Don Fraser and Dave Smith. The other charter members were Vic Abear, Fred Beath, Charles Cassford, Ray Commons, Ernie Dawson, Tom Fry, Harry Gardner, Peter Gook (President 1957-59) Harry Hamilton, Lloyd Harper, Cliff Johnston, Fred Lindsay, Norman Martindale, Alfred McCann, Dr George McDonald, Chester McLellan, Robert Palmer, Ernie Pitman, Ralph Shaw, Larry Siemens, Seth Smith, Franks Watson, and William Willis...a veritable who’s who of the business community in what was then the Village of Quesnel. To mark the 60th anniversary of those events, current members and supporters of Quesnel Rotary gathered at Royal Canadian Legion on November 14th to celebrate 60 years of service and raise funds for Rotary Foundation. At the same time, the Club recognized six of its membership for their long service to Rotary, between them a total of nearly 260 years. Turn the page to catch a glimpse of how Rotary has contributed to Quesnel, a poster reproduced by kind permission of Big Country Printers and South Hill Graphics. Look for the original, along with a series of others, in businesses throughout Quesnel.

DONATIONS TO THE CITY OF QUESNEL COMMUNITY THEATRE RESERVE FUND In 1989 it was hoped that a 400-seat theatre would be added to the Arts and Recreation Centre. This did not happen. The cost for the theatre at that time would have been $4 million. In 2013 a referendum was held to extend the fundraising for the North Cariboo Multi-Centre (Theatre, Arena and Multipurpose Room) and it failed. The Quesnel and District Community Arts Council investigated how funds could be set up for a performing arts theatre. The Quesnel Community Foundation was approached but their constitution did not allow them to do this. Then the Vancouver Foundation was asked if they could set up a fund but it required $100,000 to set it up. When the City of Quesnel was approached they were delighted and passed a by-law to set up the City of Quesnel Community Theatre Reserve Fund. Donations of $100 or more will receive a charitable tax receipt. Donations under $100 will be issued a receipt rather than a charitable tax receipt. All money donated will be kept in the reserve fund and will not be returned to individuals who have donated. To donate money stop at the front desk at City Hall and the receptionist will give you a form to fill out. All donations are gratefully received. Quesnel is indeed fortunate in having a multitude of performing artists and we look forward to the day when they can have a permanent home in which to perform. Many studies have shown that the more arts in the community the healthier the community. The following donations have been made to the City of Quesnel Community Theatre Reserve Fund; Quesnel and District Community Arts Council - $3031.23; Quesnel Theatre Action Group - $812.39; Anonymous Donor - $6,215.69; Anonymous Donor - $5,000.

Chair Yoga appeals to those with mobility issues ANNIE GALLANT Observer Reporter Eight women take their places at chairs in the Sun and Sage Yoga Studio. Instructor Tanya Garland begins the Chair Yoga class, leading her students in exercises they do all from the comfort of their chair. Chair Yoga is designed to serve people who are no longer comfortable getting up and down off the floor. This modified yoga class makes yoga accessible to people who cannot stand or lack the mobility to move easily from standing to sitting. Many of the basic body mechanics of the individual postures are retained, no matter the stance of the practitioner. While seated on chairs, students can do versions of twists, hip stretches, forward bends and mild backbends. In addition to a good stretch, chair yoga participants can also enjoy other health benefits of
yoga, including improved muscle tone, better breathing habits, reduction of stress, better sleep and a sense of well-being. “Those with disabilities, weight challenges, inflexibility or who just cannot get on the floor for whatever reason can benefit from yoga on a chair,” Garland said. “The chair replaces the yoga mat and becomes an extension of your body allowing you to take full advantage of yoga’s amazing fitness and health potential. Office workers can also take advantage of chair yoga’s adaptations to sneak in some stretches at work.” She went on to say that yoga is also therapeutic in addition to its fitness benefits. “My personal interest is in its ability to facilitate healing and management of pain and anxiety,” she said. Garland said the chair yoga is well received in Quesnel. “Word of mouth has been
very kind to me,” she said. “And demand for this particular offering is growing. Older people seem to be drawn to this form of yoga but its application is far reaching.” Sun and Sage Yoga Studio also offers a wide range of public classes. “I’m blessed to have three young enthusiastic, passionate teachers who take the pressure off in the evenings so I can focus on private sessions,” Garland said. Although the most recent session of Chair Yoga is just finishing, Garland was pleased to announce to her students she will be offering it again beginning Jan. 11, 2016 in the same time slot, 1 – 2 p.m. and additionally from 2:30 – 3:30 p.m. Preregistration is required as space is limited. For details of this and many other classes, call Garland at 250-983-5077 or email tanyagarland@ hotmail.com.

Have You Bought Your Brick?

Characters of the Nativity beginning with Mary
I
have spent the better part of the past three years pregnant. I can still vividly recall what it feels like to have that little one moving and kicking and growing inside of me – what a surreal, strange feeling – sometimes wonderful, other times downright painful. When Mary agreed to carry the child of God within her, we know that in many ways she did not know what she was getting herself into. As a peasant girl, I’m sure she would have seen at least a few births, so she would have understood the birthing process, but the carrying process, the actual sensation
Laura Van Schaick
Salvation Army of having a life growing and living inside of you – that is something that you have to experience to fully grasp. But soon, Mary begins to understand. Could you imagine feeling that babe kicking away inside of you and knowing that life
is the Son of God? “Hey God, stop kicking me in the ribs!” But there he is. God Himself, incarnate in the boy Jesus, in Mary’s womb. While we, whether male or female, will never be able to actually behold Jesus in quite the same way as Mary, we can all conceive Jesus. Not in a literal sense, but we all can carry God in ourselves, in our hearts. Truly, any time we make space for God in our lives, we become a womb for Him. Any time we reach out to someone who is in need, or hurting, or lonely, in the name of Christ, we become a womb for God. Any time
Quesnel Cariboo Observer
we become a safe place for another soul to receive God’s gift of grace, we become a womb for God. God meets with us. God dwells in us. While we may never carry the Son of God in our literal womb, feel his little feet kicking our belly, we can conceive him in our lives. Jesus promised that He would send his holy spirit to dwell in the hearts of those who believe. Jesus is conceived in our hearts and our lives when we simply receive it, however Jesus and his will come to us. Laura Van Schaick is a lieutenant with the Salvation Army in Quesnel.

Hockey Canada announces selection camp roster RYAN GRAHAM Observer Reporter
Hockey Canada has announced their World Junior Championship selection camp roster of 30 players that will be hoping to represent Canada at the World Juniors. The roster includes 17 forwards, 11 defencemen and two goalies. Hockey Canada will hold a four day selection camp in Toronto at the MasterCard Centre from Dec. 10 – 13, which will include two exhibition games against an all-star team from Canadian universities. Lawson Crouse, Joe Hicketts and Brayden Point return from last year’s gold medal winning team where they defeated Russia in the final. Although, the selection roster has been announced Hockey Canada is hopeful that some NHL teams will release players for the tournament. Some of the players mentioned include Robby Fabbri of the St. Louis Blues, Jake Virtanen and Jared McCann from the Vancouver Canucks. The roster includes 27 NHL draft picks and three players who are highly rated for the 2016 NHL draft. Included in the roster are Dylan Strome and Mitchell Marner who went third and fourth overall to the Arizona Coyotes and the Toronto Maple Leafs in last year’s draft. The roster also features
three draft eligible players, who include Jakob Chychrun of the Sarnia Sting, Pierre- Luc Dubois
of the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles and Julien Gauthier of the Val-d’ Or Foreurs. Although, this is a
tournament considered for 19- year old’s underage players have shined before. Connor McDavid and John
Tavares now staring in the NHL played in two World Juniors and performed well. Canada has not won
the tournament in Europe since 2008 when they won in Prague, Czech Republic. The tournament will be
played in Helsinki, Finland from Dec. 26 – Jan. 5, 2016
