First Nations, environmental groups and coastal forest industry representatives joined the Province to celebrate achieving ecosystem-based management in the Great Bear Rainforest (BC Government photo)

Historic agreement reached for 6.4 million hectares of the Great Bear Rainforest BY CAITLIN THOMPSON It has been 20 years in the making and a deal has finally been reached to protect 6.4 million hectares of the largest coastal temperate rainforest on the planet, known worldwide as the Great Bear Rainforest. Representatives from the province, First Nations, environmentalists, and forest companies announced the deal in Bella Bella last Monday. It will be enshrined in legislation this spring, and promises to completely protect 85

percent of the area’s oldgrowth forests from industrial logging. The remaining 15 per cent will be logged, but only under the strictest commercial logging standards in Canada. The level of cooperation in the creation of the deal was unprecedented. First Nations, environmentalists, forestry companies and the B.C. government negotiated for nearly two decades to achieve what is being called a “globally significant landmark.” “The Great Bear Rainforest is a global treasure, and all British

Columbians have a stake in protecting it,” said Premier Christy Clark. “Under this landmark agreement, more old and second-growth forest will be protected, while still ensuring opportunities for economic development and jobs for local First Nations.” Perhaps the most powerful accomplishment of the agreement was the recognition of aboriginal rights to shared decision making and comanagement of the land. The 26 government-togovernment agreements that B.C. signed with the

resident First Nations spell out how the agreement will be managed. It is the first time negotiations have been completed through a mutually agreed upon framework. The Great Bear Rainforest overlaps with the territories of more than 20 separate First Nations, all of whom were involved in negotiations. In Bella Coola, the boundaries of the Great Bear Rainforest encompass the entire Valley and the outer coast. The total area is twice the size of Belgium and stretches from the north

of Vancouver Island to the Alaska Panhandle. “There was a day when First Nations did not have a say in the activities that happened in their traditional homelands. Today we signed as First Nations governments bringing the values from our communities and the knowledge from our elders,” said Kitasoo/Xaixais Chief Councillor Douglas Neasloss. “Today is proof that First Nations, the province, environmentalists and stake holders can work together for a sustainable future. In this agreement

some key water sheds are now protected, trophy hunting is on the decline, greater economic certainty for local communities, and a better working relationship with the province.” “It’s a testament to the hard work they have done, and the perseverance they have put into these agreements,” said Richard Brooks, the forest campaign coordinator for Greenpeace Canada. “It’s quite unique... the provincial governments have negotiated SEE 'HUNT' ON PAGE 3

Grizzly hunt still permitted despite GBR deal and agreed with First Nations governments as governments.” The deal is not only intended to protect the precious coastal resources: there are clear expectations for lifting remote coastal communities, often with little opportunity for work, out of their economic hardships. First Nations now have a greater share of the timber rights and $15 million from the province, but for them balance is still the key. Marilyn Slett, chief councillor of the Heiltsuk Tribal Council, said her community was drawn into the conflict early on, but their views were not always part of the debate. “That’s the milestone – the collaboration,” she said in an interview. “As Heiltsuk people, as Coastal Nations, we aligned around common values of protecting the land.” But her people want jobs too. “Our nation clearly and consistently said, there must be balance.” 20 years ago the newly minted “Great Bear Rainforest” soon became the tipping point for products made from one of the last remaining oldgrowth forests in B.C. Efforts from Greenpeace, ForestEthics and the Sierra Club persuaded more that 80 companies, including giants like Home Depot, Staples and Ikea, to stop selling products made from old-growth timber. Continued market pressure eventually brought industry into the fold, and differences were hammered out in 2001’s “Joint Solutions Project,” created from an alliance of forest companies and environmental organizations, which saw logging companies agree to cease their operations in 100 pristine valleys in exchange for a ceasefire on the marketing assault against B.C. forest products. Fast-forward 10 years and you’ll find then-premier Gordon Campbell announcing the first efforts towards true collaboration in a

tentative pact between government, forestry companies, aboriginal leaders and environmental activities. The implementation was take another 10 years of hard work. The logging continued and environmental standards weren’t being met, First Nations communities continued to suffer as their own territories were managed from afar. Criticism abounded and negotiations evolved to another level. “We always thought this was about stopping logging,” said Dallas Smith, president of the Nanwakolas Council which represents six of the First Nations in the Great Bear Rainforest. “But it morphed into something else, about saving this globally significant area that was unique because of its untouched wilderness, but with the understanding that there are indigenous people who are interwoven into the fabric.” While much of the fanfare is certainly deserved, the deal has attracted some notable criticism. Ian McAllister of Pacific Wild, an environmental organization based in Bella Bella, says that the agreement also represents a shift in the traditional approach from environmental organizations, suggesting that perhaps this type of compromise isn’t the

The Cascade Sutslem Conservancy in the Nascall Dean Channel was designated a conservancy in 2008 (Michael Wigle photo) right direction. “There is no skirting the issue: This agreement proposes to log 2.5 million cubic metres of oldgrowth forests every year for the next 10 years,” McAllister said in an interview. “The campaign was to stop ancient-forest logging. Unfortunately this agreement enshrines the idea that ancientforest logging is part of doing business in the Great Bear Rainforest. That’s been a significant change in the conservation movement.” And the contentious issue of grizzly bear hunting in the region is far from over.

mercial trophy hunting of grizzly bears by guide outfitters within the traditional territories of members of the Coastal First Nations”, this doesn’t mean trophy hunting of the animals will stop. While the Coastal First Nations enacted a ban on trophy hunting in the area in 2012, Clark’s compromise

will do little to stop the activity. B.C. resident hunters kill the most grizzly bears per year by far, and this will continue. However, the province commits that commercial grizzly quotas won't be transferred to residents as First Nations purchase remaining commercial quotas on a willingbuyer, willing-seller

basis. This shifts the onus to the First Nations to come up with the millions of dollars that will most likely be required to purchase the hunting tenures currently owned by the guide operators, and that’s if they are willing to sell. “Canadian residents can still shoot bears for

sport,” said Neasloss. “We still have work to do but today was a huge step in the right direction.” Minister of Forests, Lands, and Natural Resource Operations Steve Thomson said the province continues to believe the grizzly trophy hunt is sustainable and scientifically justified.

Head of First Nations Health Authority, Dr. Evan Adams, visits Bella Coola with team BY CAITLIN THOMPSON Dr. Evan Adams and his team from the First Nations Health Authority were in Bella Coola in late January to meet with the community, health professionals and leadership. This particular visit was focused on communication, treatment and prevention of suicide. In recent months the Valley has suffered losses of life to

suicide. Some of the victims were young adults. “I absolutely understand and feel for the community that they’ve had some events in the last several months that have been heartbreaking and left people feeling bereft,” said Dr. Adams. “The FNHA has inherited the authority from the former Health Canada branch and we are a First Nations organization, but really we are like your cousins from across

the way who have heard about what has happened here and we can lend our help, because we are in the business of health.” As Dr. Adams explained, the First Nations Health Authority is the first province-wide health authority of its kind in Canada. In 2013, the FNHA assumed the programs, services, and responsibilities formerly handled by Health Canada's First Nations Inuit Health Branch – Pacific

Region. Their vision is to transform the health and well-being of BC's First Nations and Aboriginal people by dramatically changing healthcare for the better. “We know that people get hurt, they have setbacks and they need to get better,” said Dr. Adams. “This is third meeting of many we plan to have with the Nuxalk Nation to talk about getting better and discuss how we can help support them to be the best that they can be.” Dr. Adam and his team gave a short presentation in the Acwsalcta gymnasium entitled “Hope, Health and Healing.” But, as he explained, this strategy is more intended to support the work already being done by the Nuxalk Nation and to help address the issues around suicide and mental health in general. “The community is doing its own planning around its health and wellbeing, and we are happy to support that and be a part of it,” explained Dr. Adams. “We have a strategy called Hope, Health and Healing and this instance it’s related

WLMHA mourns loss of hockey coach and Anahim Lake local Derek Christianson BY ANGIE MINDUS Parents and players of the Williams Lake Minor Hockey Association are mourning the sudden death of longtime volunteer hockey coach and dad, Derek Christianson. Christianson’s sons Maverick and Dane have been avid hockey players in the WLMHA since they were very young and their dad volunteered as an assistant coach through the novice, atom and peewee divisions. His wife Christine also volunteers with the association as a team mom. WLMHA Atom division co-ordinator Kris Beaulne said the death is a terrible loss for the family and also for Williams Lake. “Derek will be greatly missed by the WLMHA as he was a beloved coach of his elder son’s peewee team and mentor,” Beaulne said Monday. Customers and staff at Spectra Power Sports, where Christianson helped out over spring break up, are also mourning the loss. “It was very sudden and sad,” said Spectra owner Heino Seibert of the news of the death. As well as his interests in hockey, Christianson, who was also known as Diggler, was an avid outdoorsman who loved dirt biking, snowmobiling and stock car racing. “Derek was a very nice man. He was a tough guy on the outside but really he was one of the softest-hearted guys I’ve known,” said Seibert. “He was very generous with his time. He would help anyone

NHL defenceman Clayton Stoner fined $10,000 for 2013 grizzly bear hunt BY CAITLIN THOMPSON NHL defenceman and northern Vancouver Island native Clayton Stoner has been fined $10,000 for hunting a grizzly bear without a proper licence as a result of his 2013 grizzly bear hunt on B.C.’s central coast. Stoner was initially charged with five offences including knowingly making a false statement to obtain a hunting licence, hunting out of season and unlawfully possessing dead wildlife. The Crown dropped the four latter charges and $6,000 of the total amount fined will be assigned as a contribution to habitat conservation. He is also prohibited from hunting for three years. Stoner’s status as a hockey player and the

combined release of the short film, “Bears Forever,” which heavily featured the bear Stoner killed, nicknamed “Cheeky” by local First Nations, undoubtedly contributed to the attention the case received. Stoner’s lawyer Marvin Stern delivered his guilty plea in B.C. provincial court in Abbotsford. Stoner, who grew up in Port McNeill and now plays for the Anaheim Ducks, was not in court. Stern argued that Stoner misunderstood the residency requirements, citing that the NHL lockout kept Stoner in B.C. more than usual that year even though he was a member of the Minnesota Wild at the time and did not reside in the province. Wildlife Act regulations require anyone

have misunderstood the residency requirements for the hunting licence, and made an incorrect assumption he was a B.C. resident, he did everything else within the law during the hunt. The Crown said Stoner didn't try to trick anyone but that he wasn't diligent in representing himself as a resident. Following the verdict Clayton’s father, Ken Stoner, published a Facebook post in which he claims to tell “the real story.” Environmentalists and First Nations claimed the animal

was Cheeky, a beloved tourist attraction in British Columbia’s Great Bear Rainforest, but Stoner claimed Cheeky never existed and claims the “lies” being told about the incident were extremely hard on his family for the past three years.

doing," she said. "I'm cautiously optimistic, but I really think it just addresses one side of the coin." Housty said a coalition of First Nations made a statement in 2012 condemning trophy hunting because the practice isn't consistent with tribal laws and values. "[The fine] does deal with the fact that Stoner didn't follow regulations," she said. "What's not addressed in this judgment, and what can't be addressed in these courts, is that he also contravened indigenous law and an indigenous ban on trophy hunting in our territory." Housty said the death of the 18-yearold grizzly, known as "Cheeky" by local First Nations guardians because it was

comfortable being viewed by humans, was upsetting to many in her community. "We build strong relationships with our relatives in the animal kingdom," she said. "To lose a bear like this, especially under these circumstances, really grieved people deeply." In a victim impact statement, the Rainforest Conservation Foundation asserted it owned the commercial trophy hunting rights in the location where Stoner killed Cheeky. The court also heard from Central Coastal First Nations representative William Housty who asked that the bear's remains be returned for ceremonial burial. With files from CBC News

Designing and building homes that stay dry on Nuxalk territory now a model for other communities CMHC PRESS RELEASE Water is the basis for life. When found in the wrong places, however, it can seriously undermine quality of life. Residents of Nuxalk Nation, in British Columbia, have come to understand this reality. After learning how design flaws in the housing stock had allowed mould to flourish in homes, tradespeople and residents alike now understand better how to prevent moisture that could lead to mould. Richard Hall, Asset Manager for Nuxalk Nation, led the effort after the community began seeing how mould was impacting the health and wellbeing of people. “The presence of mould and off-gassing scents was active whenever the room atmosphere changed. Mould was found in isolated areas in bedrooms and basements, as well as in the attic and ceiling, and particularly in bathrooms,” says Hall. “The adverse effects were evident and problematic for babies, youth and seniors. Most did not want to live in their homes or to return home after outings.” The age and design of the homes was a fundamental problem. “We are in a rainforest, and the homes and materials

have to be suitable to this climate,” says Hall. “Discovering the cause of the problem required investigation. We needed to analyze the conditions in and around the home. There could have been flaws in structural or interior design, but other factors included overcrowding or personal habits. Often, it was a combination of factors.” The homes are being repaired and the design flaw corrected with the support of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada. The community also made use of the CMHC training program, Let’s Clear the Air, a one-day workshop that delivers handson training in identifying indoor air quality problems. The training raised awareness of moisture in the home for the 15 carpenters and carpenter helpers who attended the workshop. It also provided them with information on appropriate construction and design practices. The long-term solution, however, will depend as much on education as remediation. “One of the challenges is changing the perception of those who have had to deal with contamination and rehabilitation and giving them feedback on how important it is to

Assets Manager Richard Hall outside one of the new homes during construction last summer be accountable and responsible for the outcome,” says Hall. The community’s education program even included engaging children on how they can help prevent mould, with tips such as not covering windows. The band is now in the process of building new housing using CMHC’s On-Reserve Non-Profit Housing Program (Section 95). The program assists

First Nations in creating affordable rental housing on-reserve. Six new homes are planned. For the new homes, Nuxalk chose a design that is suitable for this very wet area of British Columbia’s coast. Design features include slab insulation and a waterproof membrane, an exterior rainscreen and 0.9 m (3 ft.)overhangs. Other features

include ENERGY STAR appliances and light fixtures, solarpowered exterior lighting, heat recovery units, an underfloor radiant heat system and programmable thermostats. When Richard was putting the project together, he looked at bringing the cost down in some areas so that he could incorporate more advanced and energy-efficient features

in other areas. “He completely tailored the homes to meet the specific needs of the Nation given their location and climate,” says Esther Conibear, CMHC Consultant, First Nation Housing(British Columbia). The Nuxalk Nation’s progress in remediating andpreventing mould is providing valuable lessons for other

First Nations, and Richard Hall’s advice is often sought out by local communities. “Contractors now have a better understanding of the basic building science principles of indoor air quality and why it is important to select proper materials for the job,” says Hall. “There is value in using materials that may cost more but better suit the climate.”

BC Cancer Agency launches two digital mammography vehicles to serve women in rural and remote areas PRESS RELEASE Two new BC Cancer Agency digital mammography vehicles were launched and blessed during a ceremony at the Musqueam First Nation in Vancouver. These large, comfortable coaches feature the latest technology and provide access to breast cancer screening for BC women in remote and rural communities. Currently the BC Cancer Agency’s Mobile Mammography program visits 120 remote and rural communities annually, including more than 40 Indigenous communities. The ceremonial blessing, performed by a Musqueam Elder, honours these communities to increase acceptance of the coaches and remove barriers to breast

cancer screening. The blessing was witnessed by leaders from the BC Association of Aboriginal Friendship Centres, the Métis Nation BC, Chief Wayne Sparrow of the Musqueam First Nation, Dr. Moira Stilwell, MLA Vancouver-Langara and Dr. Malcolm Moore, BC Cancer Agency president. After the blessing, the new digital mammography vehicles will begin providing mammograms for women on site at the Musqueam First Nation. The coaches will then visit communities across the province from Maple Ridge to Merritt, and Osoyoos to the Soda Creek First Nation. These new vehicles join a third coach, which was launched in February 2015. That coach is currently serving

communities on Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands. The BC Cancer Agency mobile mammography service is the first of its kind in Canada to use wireless cellular data to send the images through a secure VPN tunnel from the mobile unit to the reading centre, ensuring greater efficiency of the service. The purchase of the two new mobile mammography vehicles was made possible by Ministry of Health capital funding and sponsorship funding support by the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation and Shoppers Drug Mart at a total cost of $1,808,000. Screening mammograms are available for women 40 years of age and older. Women are encouraged to discuss the benefits and limitations of

mammography with their doctor. If they choose to have a mammogram, it will be available every two years and a doctor’s referral is not needed. Eligible women can use the clinic locator at www. screeningbc.ca/ breast to either find a year-round fixed location near them, or view the schedule for the mobile mammography service in their area. For remote communities that the mobile coaches are unable to access, assisted travel support is provided for eligible women in the community to attend either the nearest fixed centre or mobile stop. Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer diagnosed in Canadian women. In 2015, an estimated 3,400 women will be diagnosed with breast

Overall participation in the screening program by Indigenous women over the past three years has increased by nine per cent, and is currently at 57 per cent. In 2014, 259,341 screening mammograms were performed in B.C., and 1,404 breast cancers reported (5.4 per 1,000 exams). “The BC Cancer Agency has always been a leader in breast cancer screening, and with the launch of these two new vehicles I’m hopeful that we can continue to improve our breast cancer screening rates,” said Dr. Malcolm Moore, president, BC Cancer Agency. “BC has always led the way in breast cancer screening, first by launching the screening mammography program in 1988, and again today with these new digital mammography vehicles. We’re the first in Canada to use wireless technology to ensure faster, more efficient results.”

Mammograms help find cancer in its earliest stages when there are more treatment options and a better chance for successful treatment. B.C. has some of the best survival outcomes for those women who do get breast cancer. Research has shown a 25 per cent reduction in deaths from breast cancer among women who are screened through the Screening Mammography program. Only half of eligible B.C. women are taking advantage of this important free service regularly. The BC Cancer Agency’s Screening Mammography program, established in 1988, was the first organized population-based screening program in Canada for the early detection of breast cancer. The provincial program has 37 fixed screening mammography centres throughout the province, and three mobile screening units that serve more than 120 rural and remote com-

Black Press in association with The Coast Mountain News are very excited to announce the newest arrival to their online family.

WE ARE SO EXCITED! We invite the many readers of the Coast Mountain News newspaper to visit the online component of our news and information services. You will find current and late breaking news stories, community links, web polls, archived stories, contacts and more focused on your communities.

“As a breast cancer survivor, I know first hand that mammograms save lives. My cancer was found two years ago when the mobile mammography service was visiting my community. I was already two years overdue for my routine mammogram – I kept putting it off because, like many women, I was too busy. I’m so grateful that this service came to my community and I made the time to get screened. My cancer was found early and we were able to treat it and move on,” said Johnna Sparrow-Crawford, breast cancer survivor. “I’m so excited about these new vehicles. These new coaches will make getting a mammogram easier for women. They are comfortable and private, and because they travel to rural and remote communities, they are so accessible. If I could tell women in BC anything, it would be to take care of your health. Book a mammogram – it can save your life. It saved mine.” The BC Cancer Agency is part of the Provincial Health Services Authority, providing provincewide speciality health care. Together, they are transforming health care through innovation. The BC Cancer Agency provides a comprehensive cancer control program for the people of British Columbia by working with community partners to deliver a range of oncology services, including prevention, early detection, diagnosis and treatment, research, education, supportive care, rehabilitation and palliative care.
