A pro-LNG rally over the noon hour March 16 in Terrace brought a parade of trucks and equipment from Thornhill to the Skeena Mall parking lot. The crowd on hand then waved ‘yes’ signs, applauding speeches by local politicians and others. The rally comes as the federal government is contemplating whether it will approve or reject the Pacific NorthWest LNG project.

TERRACE - It formed an imposing procession heading into Terrace from Thornhill just before noon March 16 – approximately 50 work trucks and construction vehicles including a front-end loader decked out with pro-LNG and jobs signs. One of three rallies timed for that same day with others in Fort St. John and For Nelson, the one held in Terrace saw more than 120 people gather at the west side of the Skeena Mall parking lot to present a voice of enthusiasm, or “yes”, to the proposed LNG industry promised for the north. Lucy Praught, an industry and First Nations consultant, was

one of several who spoke to the crowd along with Terrace mayor Carol Leclerc, accompanied by three members of her council, and Haisla chief councillor Ellis Ross. The truck drivers, construction and other trades workers who attended the rally found a voice in Amy Rutter who is a fourth-year apprentice electrician at Northwest Community College and her husband Adam, a truck driver who spoke at the rally as well. Rutter said she wants to stay here with her whole family. “We can’t stay if there is nowhere for them to work,” she said of her kids. “They will leave home and I will never see them again.” Leclerc spoke of the city’s

stance in recent history to promote the idea of big projects in the area such as the Rio Tinto Alcan smelter modernization project at Kitimat and B.C. Hydro’s Northwest Transmission Line. “I think the message today to Ottawa is that they recognize that if you are going to make really important decisions on economic drivers to British Columbia and to Northwest British Columbia, that you understand where people are at and where people are coming from and where they want to be,” said Praught in comments made after the rally. With the countdown on for the federal environment minister Catherine McKenna and the rest of the cabinet to make a final decision whether or not to grant a environmental certificate to the

Petronas-backed Pacific NorthWest LNG project proposed for Lelu Island, she said that the truck rally will show an unacknowledged groundswell of hope in the region that LNG comes to pass. “Haisla has been reviewing LNG projects ever since the 80s, when it was talked about an import facility,” said Ross. “In 2004, we started reviewing again for an export facility... while everyone else was playing catch up, the Haisla were trying to wait out the rest of B.C. saying yes to LNG.” Kitselas chief councillor Joe Bevan was to speak but could not attend. A statement read by Praught in his absence said there was a need for economic development in the area.

Feds receive thousands of LNG project comments By Shannon Lough THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT There has been more than 30,000 comments and new information provided by Pacific NorthWest LNG since the public consultation for the draft environmental report on the proposed Lelu Island project began 29 days ago. “We will be evaluating new information submitted by the proponent in an efficient way that meets our obligations to Canadians, as we do for every major project,” said the Minister of Environment and Climate Change Catherine McKenna March 8. The proponent submitted its comments to the minister’s office on March 4 to address some of the environmental concerns that were raised by the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA) in the draft report. The deadline for comments on the environmental report ended March 11 and then the final decision whether or not to approve the LNG project will rest with McKenna.

The first document from the proponent addresses the CEAA’s conclusion that the project will have significant adverse affects on the harbour porpoise. Pacific NorthWest’s letter to McKenna, sent via email, states that the information in the “Marine Mammal Program Interim Report” was delivered on an interim basis and it was not the final report. In the final report, the proponent found through data collection and habitat suitability modelling that there is an alternative habitat available for the harbour porpoise and “the project is not likely to result in a significant adverse effect to the harbour porpoise,” the letter states. Another letter sent to the minister addresses the CEAA’s analysis of how the LNG project would have significant greenhouse gas emissions causing adverse environmental effects. How the CEAA came to its conclusion was not satisfactory with the proponent. “Project environmental effects must be assessed in isolation

Graphic illustration of the Pacific NorthWest LNG plant location proposed for Lelu Island. from effects caused by existing and future activities, other than those associated with the project,” the letter from the proponent states. The CEAA’s draft environmental impact statement found that the nature of greenhouse gas emissions are cumulative with climate change happening globally. “These findings are

incapable of supporting the conclusion that the project will likely cause significant adverse environmental effects as a result of it’s GHG emissions.” Pacific NorthWest LNG suggests other amendments to the CEAA draft report, such as how storm water runoff from the LNG plant will be collected to avoid

contamination. Other nitty gritty amendments to the draft include adding seasonal temperature averages in Prince Rupert and semantics, such as adding “calm” to describe the winds that occur on Holland Rock. The public process is transparent, and all new information from the proponent and the 30,000 public comments

are available to view online. “Once the report is finalized, all information will be provided to the Minister of Environment and Climate Change to help inform her determination as to whether the project is likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects,” said Karen Fish, the communications adviser to the

CEAA in an email. Fish also confirmed that a day before that public consultation process ended there were some in-person comments submitted to the agency. Jonathan Moore, Liber Ero Chair of Coastal Science and Management, at Simon Fraser University travelled to Ottawa, along with First Nations representatives and public interest groups, to voice their concerns about the project. Moore was one of the primary signatories of an open letter signed by more than 130 scientists and academics that was sent to the federal government urging the rejection of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency’s (CEAA) draft report. The group, along with Moore, met with parliamentary secretary Jonathan Wilkinson on March 10 and will meet with McKenna later in the week via video-conference. “To ensure procedural fairness, a record of these meetings will be shared with the proponent,” Fish said.

TERRACE - The Skeena River is one of the last major intact salmon ecosystems in the world, providing more than $110 million annually in related economic benefits to northwest communities, says one of 47 fishing guides, fishing lodge owners and others connected to the angling industry here who do not want the federal government to approve Lelu Island as a site for a planned LNG plant and terminal. The group has made its point known in a letter submitted to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA) which is to submit a report to federal cabinet ministers for a decision on accepting or rejecting the Pacific NorthWest LNG proposal. Andrew Rushton, who has owned Kalum River Lodge for 28 years, says that long before Flora Banks and Lelu Island became common names in the debate over the Pacific NorthWest LNG terminal location, he knew that the tidal area at the mouth of the Skeena is a crucial nexus of juvenile fish and other aquatic species and thus important to local economies and the greater ecosystem. “We were just surprised it went as far as it did,” he says of

the environmental review already completed by the provincial government and nearing its end at the federal level. “Really, we thought that would be shut down because Lelu Island has been closed for development [in the past]. This is really a jewel of the world, this marine area in front of Lelu Island should be protected.” The letter, released March 9, echoes another one signed by more than 130 aquatic and salmon scientists, also released March 9, stating the location has long been considered a poor spot for large industrial development because of the rare salmon habitat adjacent to it. But the letter from the guides and fishing lodge owners and others in the angling industry also states the economic case for not allowing projects which could hurt the second largest salmon river in the country. “My big concern is to risk all those jobs up here that can go for perpetuity,” said Rushton. “Terrace and all these communities rely on tourism and all the ecosystems that are tied into the Skeena River. To jeopardize that would be a betrayal of trust to future generations.” The letter refers to a SkeenaWild Conservation Trust report K

that found the fishing and related industries brings in $110 million annually to the region, meaning that over years this equates to a billion dollar industry similar in economic scope to an LNG plant in the long term. “As a part of our tourism economy, these salmon bring in revenue through local hotels, grocery stores, gas stations, fishing and camping outfitters, restaurants, professional guiding services and lodges,” the letter states. “The CEAA environmental assessment does not address the potential economic risks posed to our fisheries. “We, the undersigned strongly disagree with the Lelu Island and Flora Bank location proposed to support the (Pacific NorthWest) facility.” A 30-day comment period on the CEAA environmental assessment concluded March 11 and the agency will now consider the comment submissions in preparing a report to be sent to federal cabinet ministers. They will use the report to make a final decision to reject or approve the project. They can also attach any number of conditions to an approval. Pacific NorthWest LNG did provide additional information about the project to officials.

Port Edward urges approval of LNG project By Shannon Lough THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PORT EDWARD - The District of Port Edward submitted a letter offering their full support of the Pacific NorthWest LNG project. Council made the move during the public commenting period on the draft environmental assessment of the project. All four councillors and Mayor Dave MacDonald approved the letter drafted by the chief administrative officer, Bob Payette to the Canadian Environmental

Assessment Agency. The letter said the LNG project is “a game changing opportunity” for people, contractors and businesses in the area. The proponent has worked with the district since 2012 on improving the facility design to address concerns of the council and residents. “The changes that have been made to the facility have ensured Port Edward will continue to experience a unique quality of life,” the letter stated. The letter adds that many people in Port Edward enjoy boating, fishing, and benefitting

from the Skeena River salmon population. The district is satisfied with the “extensive studies that PNW LNG has conducted” and the CEAA’s review of the project. The council also makes it known that they visited an LNG facility in Malaysia, operated by Petronas. “We were impressed with their high standards for safety and environmental protection, and we saw firsthand how the community around the facility is thriving,” the letter states. At the meeting on March 8,

the mayor wanted to make sure there were a few amendments to the letter to include other benefits Pacific NorthWest LNG plans to bring to the district. The mayor said the agreement with the proponent includes enhancements for Port Edward’s water treatment sewer plant and for Wampler Way bypass that will reconnect Skeena Drive near the proposed LNG development on Lelu Island. “I urge the Government of Canada to approve Pacific NorthWest LNG’s environmental certificate,” the letter concludes.

Three excited St. Anthony’s students and their proud teacher look forward to experiencing Japanese culture. Pictured (l-r) are Keenan Viveiros, Olivia Feldhoff, Nina Gibaldi, and their teacher Christopher Reilly.

It’s off to Japan for the trio and teacher KITIMAT - Three St. Anthony’s Catholic School students and a teacher from the school are off to Japan March 22 on a 12-day academic and cultural experience. The three, one student in each of Grade 7, 8 and 9, are members of the school’s after hours Japan Club and accompanying them will be teacher and club sponsor Christopher Reilly. Reilly, who grew up in Kitimat and spent 10 years living and teaching in Japan before returning home, said the idea of a trip first came up last fall. “It was literally one of the students saying let’s go to Japan,” recalled Reilly who started the Japan club nearly three

years ago. He wasn’t sure the request would be approved by school authorities. But when it was, students then embarked on trip preparations and fund raising. “We did a lot of fund raising,” said Reilly adding that movie nights complete with popcorn were held at St. Anthony’s as one way of raising money. Up to 10 students at a time come out for Japan club activities which include learning about the art, culture, history and geography of Japan. Students also prepare Japanese food and the three students going to Japan will also be able

to communicate a bit thanks to learning the Japanese language as part of their club activities. Reilly said the origins of the Japan club date back to his teaching a unit about the country to his Grade 6 class. “They wanted to learn more about the country so that’s when I started the after school club,” he said. Reilly and the three students will be part of a larger tour group and the schedule calls for visits to Tokyo, Osaka, Hiroshima, Kyoto and Hakone, the latter being a more rural location containing hotsprings. They’ll be travelling between the larger cities on highspeed bullet trains, a transporta-

tion method that will fit in well with learning about science, said Reilly. “They operate by maglev,” said Reilling using the shortened form of the phrase magnetic levitation, the method by which trains travel quickly along a guideway using magnets to create both lift and forward motion. Students at St. Anthony’s will be able to share in the travel experience of the three students as they’ll be hosting a slide show and video night when they return. That’s also to acknowledge the assistance provided by the students to make the trip possible.

The group will be travelling with EF Tours on a tour called Canada & The World Wars. The group will also visit sites related to the wars such as the Sachsenausen, the Anne Frank House, the Vimy Memorial, Juno Beach and the Beaumont Hamel Memorial. Back row, left to right, branch president Peter Crompton, co-sponsors Patsy Chant and Lori Cameron and branch donations chair Mary Ann Misfeldt.

Meet the River Kings! TERRACE - With the Terrace River Kings sporting a chance to win as provincial senior men’s AA hockey on home ice in the Coy Cup starting March 22, fans can turn out to a pep rally to cheer on the team. Being held at Terrace Totem Ford on Keith Ave., the pep rally begins at 11 a.m. There will be food available through a Mr. Mike’s barbecue and at noon, several dignitaries will be making short remarks and donning River Kings jerseys. Among those making remarks will be Skeena - Bulkley Valley MP Nathan Cullen. He will be in the unique position of being a Member of Parliament who represents a riding with two teams in the tournament – the River Kings as well as the Smithers Steelheads. The provincial representative for Skeena, Robin Austin, will be out of town and not at the pep rally but has already sent his best wishes. “It is very exciting for Terrace to be hosting the Coy Cup this year and while we will all be rooting for

our hometown favourites, the River Kings, we just hope for a terrific competition and thank all those who will attend - whether they be participants or spectators,” said Austin. Terrace mayor Carol Leclerc was at last year’s rally and she will be there this year as well. “It’s exciting that the River Kings had such a strong team this year,” she said. Leclerc was particularly pleased with the development of young players. “They become such good role models for the 12 and 13 year olds,” she said. Speaking on behalf of the Kitsumkalum First Nation will be Sharon Bryant. As a special treat for young fans, Lynne Nordstrom, who has been taking photos of the River Kings throughout the season, has prepared player cards for autographing. “Lots of the boys came up through Terrace minor hockey so this is a great way to make that connection with the community,” she said.

Help clean up downtown TERRACE - Spring cleaning comes to town with the Downtown Cleanup this Sunday, March 20 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at Brolly Square. For the fourth or fifth year in a row, the Terrace Downtown Improvement Area (TDIA) Society invites everyone to come help clean up the main downtown area. After winter, there tends to be a lot of garbage stuck in trees and along the curbs, says Dennis Lissimore, manager of TDIA. “The reason we do it around spring break is due to the music festival because Garbathon is in the middle or end of the music festival so we do a

cleanup of the downtown core [before that],” he says. The TDIA area stretches from the legion to city hall and from Park Avenue down to the railway tracks, added Lissimore. The main area cleaned is generally the six blocks of downtown along the 4600 and 4700 blocks of Lakelse and Lazelle Ave. Gloves and bags will be provided at the start point at Brolly Square as will instructions on what can be done with filled garbage bags. Afterward, you will get a coupon for coffee at Xanders coffee shop. The Downtown Cleanup goes rain or shine.

Obama gives Stewart and Hyder recognition STEWART - Stewart Mayor Galina Durant says she was thrilled her tiny community in northwestern B.C. received recognition when President Barack Obama welcomed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to the White House March 10. “It was so exciting. We’re going to send the Prime Minister and the President letters thanking them,” said Durant of Obama’s remarks. Stewart and neighbouring Hyder, Alaska, were the first two communities mentioned by Obama in citing the close ties between Canada and the United States. “Up in Hyder, Alaska folks head across the border to celebrate Canada Day and folks in Stewart, British Columbia come across for the Fourth of July,” said Obama. “We affirm that Americans and Canadians will always be there for each other,” he added.

The two leaders also discussed business with both being confident of a renewed softwood lumber export agreement due to terminate this October.

Port Edward council calls BC Transit to task over shoddy service By Shannon Lough

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PORT EDWARD - BC Transit sent the Regional Transit Manager, Ryan Little, from Victoria to field comments and concerns from the District of Port Edward on March 8. Port Edward councillors shared stories from

residents on the shoddy service they have been receiving from the one bus that services the town. Councillor James Brown said there is no emergency line to voice concerns, and the bus often breaks down. He asked if BC Transit had a backup plan because some residents told him they had to hitchhike. “Your bus right now is toward the end of

life so you will be getting a new bus in two to three years,” Little said. When the bus breaks down it takes another 20 to 30 minutes for a replacement bus to come in from Prince Rupert. He also mentioned there were scheduling and driver issues that have been corrected and it won’t happen again. “Where it’s a real problem is when the

Rates set for new Cow Bay marina By Kevin Campbell THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The brand new Cow Bay Marina will receive some financial fee structuring, adding to its new-dock smell this month, as Prince Rupert city council passed Cow Bay Marina Fees and Regulations Bylaw No. 3386 at the March 7 council meeting at City Hall. City of Prince Rupert chief financial officer Corinne Bomben and economic development officer Paul Vendittelli presented the bylaw report to council, indicating that the marina will be both a diversified revenue source for the city and a place for increased waterfront access for the general public. The marina is divided into two sections; a 12-foot wide and 600-foot long community wharf/breakwater for the community waterfront access and a gatesecure marina for itinerant and long-term moorage. “[Research during the pre-construction phase of the marine] suggested that there are a significant number of vessels bypassing Prince Rupert yearly due to limited moorage capacity. By providing additional berthage, it is expected that these vessels will have the opportunity to restock provisions and hopefully dine, shop and visit Prince Rupert, which will impart some economic benefits for our local businesses,” said Bomben. “The marina itself will offer full service, which includes electrical and water hookup, Wi-Fi, laundry

and washing facilities. It will also have a secure entry point and a marina manager living on-site.” The manager hired by the city late last year was Marty Bowles. Keeping track of the number of available moorings by slips, with approximately 51 available at any point during the year (depending on vessel length), 15 slips are to be put aside for annual or full-time moorages for 365 days at a time with the remaining slips available for short term or itinerant vessels during the summer months (April to September) while in the winter months (October to March) the city hopes to fill all available slips with long term moorages when no itinerant vessels pass by the harbour. The city researched rates for summer, winter and year-long fees for each mooring per foot per month with other marinas on the coast and has adjusted their rates to fit the market. Coun. Joy Thorkelson asked for the marina to be compliant with federal regulations for vessel sewage treatment and wondered what happens in the incident of a sinking or oil leak. Coun. Barry Cunningham said that a clean-up kit should be on-site with boom collection materials and that the polluter pays for the cleanup. Cunningham also asked if the community wharf was to be used as a commercial market for fishers selling their wares, while Vendittelli responded that the breakwater wharf was intended to be used for access to the water and some recreational fishing and where larger yachts could be tied up, but not for a market.

younger ones are coming out of school, people that take the bus we’d be more concerned about. We have to have a way,” Mayor Dave MacDonald said adding that there have been calls from concerned parents. There is no exact date for when the new bus is expected, but Little said it is supposed to be brand new.

In 2009, I happened to be watching TV and they were talking about the first Ride for Cancer and I thought, ‘I used to ride a bike when I was a kid, I can do that’,” Wolfe said. The 66-year-old has been in the ride every year since 2010, even in his fourth diagnosis with bladder cancer. He also rides for his son, who had lymphoma and was declared cancer-free six months ago, and he rides for his brother, who survived colon cancer, and father, who had skin cancer. Wolfe convinced his friend, Gordie Simonds, to join him in that first race in 2010 only six months after his friend’s esophagus was replaced due to cancer. With that partnership, Team Prince Rupert was born, and it has been growing annually. This year, the team hopes to include at least 10 or more riders. Keith Lambourne will be joining his brother-in-law Simonds, along with his wife Susan, for the first time. The couple usually support Simonds through donations, but they wanted to do more this time around. “Susie said, ‘Well, why don’t we ride with him?’ Once that sentence was in the universe, try backing off of it. We’re in our early 50s and Gordie’s going to be 70 this year. If he can do it, we can bloody do it,” Lambourne said. The training has begun. For the other seasoned members of the team, training goes all-year-round. The Lambournes are starting off with indoor training.

TERRACE - Figure skater Laura Dale earned sixth in Canadian National Special Olympics in Newfoundland March 1-6. Skating off with 11 competitors from across Canada, Dale earned a spot in the A-group. A fall in her final performance put her sixth, still a remarkable placing in Canada. Dale said going to nationals was huge for her, and she made new friends.

Whitehorse wins berth into the Coy Cup Championship By Tom Patrick THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

The Whitehorse Huckies are joining the competition in the Coy Cup Championship in Terrace next week. They punched their ticket for their first Coy Cup appearance with wins over the Powell River Regals last weekend. “We’re super excited,” said Huskies head coach Michael Tuton. “I’m just happy for this group of guys. They all came together, started playing for each other. They put a lot of effort into this and they wanted it.” Considering the playoff series went to three games, there were some pretty lopsided scores, with the Huskies earning a very sound 13-5 win, then losing 7-2, and finishing with a 8-3 win. “In Game 2 they really tightened it up. They had a good game plan against us,” said Huskies captain Evan Campbell. “I felt like we had our legs going, but systematically they beat us. They clogged the neutral zone and we just couldn’t get much by them.” “After that first game, putting up 13 goals, psychologically you go, ‘this might be a bit easy,’” he added. “Today we knew it was going to be a battle. Everyone knew they had to play their role and do the little things right.” The Huskies scored two in the first and two early in the second

for a 4-0 lead in Sunday’s game before the Regals narrowed the gap with three quick goals. Whitehorse’s Gibson Pearson stole back the momentum with a big hit and an unassisted goal with 1:51 left in the second. “We have a fast team, a physical team, and we got away from that Saturday night,” said Tuton. “There was very little said today. There’s been enough talk, it was just time to get out and do it. I’m proud of the guys, the way they rebounded.” “I’m so proud of (goalie) J.J. Gainsforth, the way he came in there and really took the team with him.” Gainsforth started all three games, but came out for Daniel Naef in the third period on Saturday. The Huskies jumped out to a 5-0 lead to start Friday’s game as the Campbell line put on a show with plays suitable for any highlight reel. (A blind backhand pass from Campbell to Kane, who scored to make it 2-0, was a crowd pleaser.) Campbell finished Friday with two goals and four assists; Henderson and assistant captain Derek Klassen both had two goals and two assists; Kane had a goal and three assists; and forward Kevin Petovello knocked in two goals. “After the first period of the first game, it wasn’t looking

good,” said Regals captain Andy Welsh. “It always seems like our travel day up here is our toughest game. Coming off that flight we always struggle. It was one bad loss, but we came out and played really good Saturday.” The Regals, who won the Coy Cup in 2010, travelled to Whitehorse with nine forwards and four defence. In the third period of Game 3, “We just ran out of gas,” said Welsh. “Not having a full line-up up here really hurt us in the third period … (The Huskies) were fresher, skated better than us and that’s why they won. “When you go on the road, it’s tough because you’re always short,” he added. “It’s hard to have guys get the time off.” Speaking of which, with the Coy Cup starting Tuesday in Terrace, Huskies players will be having sit-downs with their bosses this week to see if they can get time off. “There’ll be a few conversations tomorrow,” said Tuton. “We have some great folks in Whitehorse, so I’m sure there’ll be a lot of time off given out … It’s Whitehorse’s team, so everyone has to step in and do their part.” “Hopefully all of our employers can give us the week off,” said Henderson. “We’re going down there with the determination to bring home the Coy Cup.”
