By Kevin Campbell Black Press No injuries were reported to occupants or pets of a recent Kitimat house fire last week. On April 17, Kitimat Fire Department responded to a call on the 20-block of Pintail Street at 10:50 p.m., and upon arrival, crews witnessed a large fire that had engulfed the structure, a vehicle inside the garage and an additional vehicle outside on the driveway. “We turned the corner and it was a 15-foot wall of fire, so wake-up time,” said deputy fire chief Peter Bizarro. “All residents inside the home at the time of the fire were able to safely exit the home, which is great. So

that’s obviously the priority,” he added. The residents were also able to evacuate a pet cat before the majority of the smoke started to seep into the structure. “Fire crews quickly established exposed water lines to protect the adjacent homes. It appears the fire started in the garage and quickly extended into the main structure,” the deputy chief said. As a result of investigations undertaken by the Kitimat Fire Department and Fire Pro Investigations in Vancouver, the fire cause had been deemed ‘undetermined’ as of last week “due to the extensive fire damage sustained within the area of origin,” said Bizarro.

Adjacent homes suffered minor damage such as paint blistering and dislodged siding. “That was very successful for us because that fire could have easily spread, from the radiant heat, to adjacent homes,” he said, adding that crews from BC Hydro, Pacific Northern Gas and the RCMP were also on scene. With the number of fuel loads in and around the garage, the fire didn’t allow for occupants to try and recover significant items, a practice that Bizarro said should not be utilized by residents. “You start getting fuels ignited and stuff and there’s your exit routes gone ... Kitimat Fire Department would like to remind all community

members not to reenter your home in the event of a fire. Fire spread can be very fast based on fuel load, so again the message is get out and stay out,” the deputy-chief added. Fire crews worked from 11 p.m. until 5 a.m. the next morning, at which point crews finished their cleanup and a 24-hour fire watch was implemented on the site. Some remaining smouldering was attended to near the end of the work period. “Homes can be replaced and some personal items, I understand how valuable they can be but the key is there’s no human life lost or injured. To me that’s the highest level of priority – is everyone out of the house, including the pets,” Bizarro said.

ICBC release Kitimat spendatures

By Kevin Campbell Black Press ICBC has released financial figures of how much money was injected into the community in 2015, which comprised of a project shared with Kitimat and Terrace. Worth a culminated $54,400 included installation of two changeable message signs, one being just past Cablecar on Hwy 37S. The company stated that its partnership in road improvement projects in B.C. has led to a 24 per cent reduction, on average, in severe crashes (involving serious injury or fatalities) and a 15 per cent reduction in property damage claims after an improvement is completed according to a recent evaluation report. Altogether in B.C. ICBC invested $7.9 million in 400 projects – 113 focused on pedestrian and cyclist

safety improvements. “Since 1990, we’ve invested more than $138 million in road improvement projects and studies across B.C. to help reduce death and injury on our roads. While the findings of this evaluation are very encouraging, rising claim costs continue to put substantial pressure on customers’ insurance rates,” said Mark Blucher, ICBC president and CEO. “We’ve been working together with ICBC and local governments on road improvement projects for two-and-a-half decades. These projects have brought immediate benefits for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians in communities across B.C. The evaluation results are evidence that the road improvement program is working,” added B.C. Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Todd Stone.

The Kitimat RCMP have noted a rise in complaints from concerned citizens stating an unknown police officer has contacted them claiming they were going to be arrested because they didn’t pay their taxes. Please be aware that these phone calls are false and the person calling is not a police officer. If you have or receive a phone call from someone threatening to arrest you over tax fraud, you are encouraged to contact Fraud Busters at 1-800-495-8501 to report the issue.

Drivers not so cool for school The Kitimat RCMP have received a rise in complaints from school bus drivers concerning drivers not yielding to school buses when stopped. The Kitimat RCMP would like the public to know that failing to stop for a school bus can result in a fine of $167. Kitimat RCMP are work-

ing with bus drivers to ticket motorists failing to comply by occasionally having police officers ride on buses to witnesses infractions. Kitimat RCMP are happy to report on the first day of patrolling no tickets were issued. Enforcement will continue until the end of the school year.

First Nations voice message LNG does not have universal support By Kevin Campbell Black Press It’s going to come down to science, not job creation. That’s the message that a group of B.C. First Nations leaders received from the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) when they travelled to Ottawa and Parliament Hill to voice a strong message that the Pacific NorthWest LNG proposed LNG export terminal on Lelu Island does not have universal support from Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities alike in the northwest. Whether or not the Petronas-backed, $11.4 billion project moves ahead will be entirely based on the upcoming results of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency’s (CEAA) report, which takes into account environmental research and science included in a report submitted to CEAA by the proponent. The group, involving Lax Kw’alaams Hereditary Chief Don Wesley, Ken Lawson of the Gitwilgyoots Tribe of the Lax Kw’alaams former Lax Kw’alaams Mayor Garry Reece, Union of BC Indian Chiefs President Stewart Phillip, Chief John Ridsdale of the Wet’suwet’en Hereditary Chiefs, Richard Wright from the Gitxsan First Nation and co-chair of Friends of Wild Salmon Gerald Amos, met with senior advisors from the Prime Minister’s Office last Tuesday and another from Environment Minister Catherine McKenna’s office. “There seems to be a growing attempt to paint a pretty rosy picture in the northwest coast here that everything’s hunky-dory and there’s no opposition,” said Amos last week. “In First Nations communities and non-First Nations communities, there’s a lot of people whose concerns we share with this particular project.” No CEAA officials were present at the leaders’ meetings, reported Amos. The largely-held concern is the potentially negative impact to juvenile salmon and salmonspawning habitat, located at Flora Bank, adjacent to Lelu Island, the location of the proposed terminal. “I think [the meetings] went well ... I think the message was delivered pretty clearly from both Yahaan (Wesley) and from others from Lax Kw’alaams, but also from upriver First Nations that made it very clear that the CEAA process really isn’t addressing their needs; it doesn’t allow for all the voices in the community to be heard,” Amos continued.

Chief Wesley added that the group reminded the PMO that they will be holding the federal government accountable to the environmental rhetoric that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was relaying to the area about major projects. “We told them that we’re holding him to his word on issues like gas emissions and reducing that for the environment,” said Wesley. That’s reportedly when the advisors told the group that the environment was very top-of-mind for the decision-making process. “They told us, based on how many people have been going back [to Ottawa] and lobbying, such as [B.C. Premier] Christy Clark, it’s going to come down to the science of what we’re talking about. That’s the message that we got. It didn’t matter how many times Christy’s been up there, making her push for job creations and all that – it’s not relevant to the science,” Wesley said. The delegation also refutes the letter sent by current Lax Kw’alaams Mayor John Helin to CEAA, giving the band’s support on a couple conditions, saying Mayor Helin didn’t consult

Check your tires once a month, since properly inflating your tires improves gas mileage. Keep your tires inflated to the recommended pressure level. Your fuel consumption goes up by about two per cent, for every four PSI they’re under. It may not seem like much, but it adds up over time. Properly inflated tires not only save you money, but last longer and are less likely to skid. When your car is idling, you’re wasting gas and pumping out carbon emissions. Idling for more than 10 seconds wastes more fuel than it takes to restart. Turn off your engine if you’re stopped for more than 60 seconds.

Electrifying Savings On April 8 premier Christy Clark was in Kelowna to mark the opening of that city’s first electric car charging station by “filling up” a Nissan Leaf (sadly no hard hat required). In her speech she boldly claimed all new vehicles sold in the province would be emissionsfree by 2050 adding, “Clean, green, that’s the future.” Fair enough. While energy industry projects are easy targets for those seeking to dramatically reduce green house gas emissions, the reality is that, as pointed out by BC environment minister Mary Polak, 37 per cent of current emissions are generated by the transportation sector and those of us who drive gasoline-powered vehicles. Therefore it follows that going electric will go a long way to meeting the GHG reduction targets being thrown about by various governments. In a story on the Tyee site, Jim Johnson, a resource economist with Pacific Analytics, recognises why politicians like Clark are enthusiastic about the switch. “Electric cars are really sexy.” However, he warns that electric vehicles are an expensive way to reduce GHG emissions. While an electric vehicle might save the average driver $1,000 a year in fuel, he points out that vehicle would cost $15,000 more than its gasoline-fuelled equivalent. (In other words it takes 15 years to just break even on your initial outlay.) Of course the purchase price of an electric car right now is offset by a provincial subsidy of $5,000 and, he notes, there is pressure to double that. But sticking with the current subsidy, Johnson says getting just 200,000 electric vehicles on the road would cost $1 billion and, given the owners of those vehicles don’t have to pay road and transit taxes, the total subsidy would be $1.8 billion. Then adds, “Someone has to pay.” (No prizes for guessing who that will be.) And given that 85 per cent of electric vehicles cost more than $50,000, “We are subsidising people with a lot of income.” Isn’t that always the way? FOOTNOTE: I do not do a lot of long distance driving so my potential savings from going electric would be slightly less than half Johnson’s average driver. Which means it would take me 30 years to recover the outlay. Since I consider it unlikely I will still be on the right side of the daisies at age 98 - and even if I was, still driving - you can cross me off the list of potential buyers. Malcolm Baxter

4/20 day lights up Canada Well, last Wednesday was quite a day in Canada – as thousands of Canadians demonstrated that the new Liberal Government’s United Nations’ announcement of its plans to introduce some form of legalization of marijuana in 2017 was quite clearly an as yet unplanned strategy. The “demonstrators”also showed that, legal or not, pot is currently readily available to virtually any member of the public, young or old and that it can be sold (at certain times) flagrantly in front of the police...to minors or anyone. Thousands upon thousands (an estimated 25,000 in Vancouver alone) celebrated 4/20 day across Canada by lighting up or otherwise consuming so many forms of marijuana that the extent of the demonstrations showed there are already unlimited sources of the drug that legislated control and distribution is obviously going to be an extremely difficult feat for any government in the immediate future. In Vancouver, a day of fine weath-

er at the beach, became hazy with the second-hand smoke from countless pot cigarettes, pipes and other devices while police, medics and lifeguards stood by idly and ineffectively doing nothing whatsoever to interfere with the public law-breaking taking place. Similar scenes were occurring in scores of locations across Canada, including Toronto, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Montreal and even on the grounds of Parliament Hill where hundreds wandered around on the grass showing marijuana possession is “easy as pie.” All in all, as I see it, the bottom line was whether there is any possible

way that the government can ensure, as promised, to keep marijuana out of the hands of children and criminal and street gangs. As all of this was going on from coast to coast, Liberal Health Minister Jane Philpott was out of the country, in New York to announce to the United Nations that Canada will introduce legislation in the spring of next year to begin the process of legalizing and regulating marijuana. Philpott said Canada’s plan on pot “challenges the status quo in many countries,” but is convinced it is the best way to protect youth while enhancing public safety. Her comments offered few or no real details of how the Liberals will introduce its legislation. Philpott added the Canadian government’s approach will be “rooted in scientific evidence designed to address the current consequences of drug possession and drug crimes.” Whatever that means.

Strange bed fellows for energy industry Baxyard Banter

by Malcolm Baxter msdbax@citywest.ca

national policy conference in Montreal, Albertan premier Rachel Notley urged, “Let’s work together. Let’s get to ‘yes’ on a pipeline”. Actually she had earlier made clear her support for two oil pipeline proposals: Energy East to New Brunswick refineries and the Kinder Morgan expansion of the line to Vancouver. And she continued in that vein at the federal NDP convention, urging the delegates to reject the Leap Manifesto which essentially sounds the death knell of the

NDP’s great leap backward Tom Fletcher Black Press B.C. NDP leader John Horgan distanced himself as best as he could from the federal party’s decision to dump moderate leader Thomas Mulcair and spend the next couple of years debating the far-left crackpottery known as the Leap Manifesto. “It’s a document that I don’t embrace personally,” Horgan told reporters at the legislature. “I believe there are elements in the document that make sense, and there are elements that make no sense in British Columbia. “So we won’t be proceeding under any Leap Manifesto in the next 12 months under my leadership.” Horgan didn’t specify what part of the manifesto he likes. Presumably it’s not the part about tearing up Canada’s free trade agreements, converting food production to local agrarian collectives or unilaterally dismantling our energy industry and replacing it with community-owned windmills and solar panels. It can’t be the demand to stop all pipelines, because while the B.C. NDP doesn’t like oil, Horgan is in favour of natural gas exports to Asia. In general, that is. He’s now on record with the federal regulator that he’s against the Petronas-led Pacific Northwest LNG project with a terminal at Prince Rupert. The Leap Manifesto is the brainchild of anti-capitalist Toronto author Naomi Klein, with support from Greenpeace and the Sierra Club. Its campus-radical cluelessness is perhaps best summed up by the format, which consists of 15 “demands.” Here’s demand number six: “We want high-speed rail powered by just renewables and affordable public transit to unite every community in this country – in place of more cars, pipelines and exploding trains that endanger and divide us.” This demand effectively de-

clares all of rural Canada irrelevant. By even considering it, the NDP risks doing the same. Here’s number 11: “We must expand those sectors that are already low-carbon: caregiving, teaching, social work, the arts and public interest media.” And how will “we” pay all these state-funded ballerinas and bloggers? Financial transaction taxes, increased resource royalties (until resource industries are killed off), a “progressive” carbon tax, and that old standby from the Occupy tent, higher taxes on corporations and the wealthy. It’s hard to tell now, but the NDP was created to give political power to industrial workers. Horgan was asked if the party’s effort to win back industrial workers could be hampered by this potential lurch to the urban left. “The difference between my hardhat and the premier’s hardhat is that my hardhat has union labels on it, and hers doesn’t,” Horgan replied. As this statement was being made, the B.C. and Yukon Building Trades Council was meeting in Victoria. Its president, Tom Sigurdson, would use that event to host B.C. Liberal cabinet ministers and blast Horgan for opposing Pacific Northwest LNG. In the 2013 election, then-NDP leader Adrian Dix made a mid-campaign decision to come out against the Trans-Mountain pipeline expansion. Since then the NDP has opposed construction of the Site C dam on the Peace River. Horgan is in favour of hydroelectric power, you understand. Just not this project at this time. Perhaps the most stunning thing about the federal NDP’s fling with the Leap Manifesto was that it was staged in Edmonton. It came as a direct rejection of Alberta Premier Rachel Notley, who faces the grim reality of an oil and gas slump.

entire fossil fuel industry in Canada. So what about the feds? During the election campaign Justin Trudeau draped himself in a greenish mantle, promising a reversal of the Conservatives policy with real action on reducing greenhouse gas emissions across this country. In fairness, he did make it clear that he was in favour of the Keystone project that would send Canadian crude to the US but he was wishy washy on Energy East and Kinder Morgan, two projects that would serve the global market and get out from under the Americans’ thumb when it came to price. Federal environment minister Catherine McKenna must have allayed those fears significantly when, speaking at a town hall meeting with Gina McCarthy of the US Environmental Protection Agency, she said “[Canada] didn’t get into fossil fuels overnight and we’re not going to get

out of them [overnight].” Also, “We can’t have everyone in the oil sectors lose jobs.” And a Canadian Press story reports “sources” saying prime minister Justin Trudeau has given senior members of his team the task of coming up with a plan that would see both the Energy East and the Kinder Morgan projects go through. The proof of the pudding will come when the federal government delivers its verdict on the Kinder Morgan expansion, expected by year’s end. FOOTNOTE: So we have the centrist federal Liberals in favour of the Kinder Morgan project, we have the left wing Alberta government in favour of Kinder Morgan and yet we have the centre-right BC government at this moment opposed to that same project. As a friend of mine commented, “It makes no sense.”

The honeymooners Dear editor, Well the honeymoon is over! While most of our present council appears to be doing what they promised...yes I keep their lists of election promises..some still need to step up to the plate. A $100,000.00 is apparently put aside towards a park where mothers can sit and have their coffee, use their iphones, etc. while sup-

posedly watching their kids... when there already is a park in the area which could easily be utilized. But where is the promised dog park? It would not cost $100,000.00 as the area just needs a fence, some poo bags and a garbage can. No need for swings, sand pits, benches for parents to sit on etc. A couple of weeks ago,

on facebook, there was quite a lengthy discussion about dogs on leashes, off leashes and no designated area for pets off leash to run. Yes, LNG’s, pipelines, industries, tourist attractions, etc. are important but so are pet lovers and their needs. Guess I’d never be a good politician. Keep smiling, I’m watching and listening, Roma Burnett

There has not been a lot of good news - if any - for the Canadian energy industry this past year. The global glut of oil supply had driven prices through the floor leading inevitably to the shuttering of rigs and sweeping layoffs. On the liquefied natural gas front the same pattern of supply glut/ tanking prices led to project approvals being put on hold and in some cases on the way-back burner. Even if those problems went away, there was still a nagging doubt over whether the industry would be able to take advantage given changes in government at the federal and provincial (Alberta) levels. Especially in the case of Alberta which had an NDP government, not a party known for its great love of the oil patch. But there has been encouraging news for the industry this month on both fronts.

who seemed much better prepared than the health minster, erected all kinds of booths in a nearby parking lot, a designated rent-free zone. There they showed how they would like distribution to be handled. These “dealers,” for want of a better word, strolled around the area, selling single or multiple joints and cookies to anyone with the cash to buy. Signs had been posted asking vendors not to sell to minors, but if anyone surveyed the young people lighting up all

Continued from page 4 That day, in Question Period in the House Prime Minister Trudeau bafflegabbed his way around a demand by NDP’s Tom Mulcair that he immediately announce an end to mandatory prison sentences for pot possession. Down at the beach, near English Bay, in Vancouver, the city’s 4/20 promoters staged a massive, open-air marijuana market and protest rally, perhaps the largest ever seen in Canada. Dozens of eager “entrepreneurs,”

over the beach, the signs were clearly ignored as high schoolers (obviously skipping school to enjoy the event) lounged around the beach keeping a wary eye of the police - who simply seemed content to observe what was occurring. The City of Vancouver did not sanction the event as officials always looked the other way. I would guess taxpayers were footing healthy overtime bills for police, firefighters and paramedics and unknowingly cared as little as the city, the

provincial government or the belated feds. This was a fait accompli for all participants. The laws governing the public use of marijuana were completely ignored. To me, the whole event was one police confrontation away from the situation that developed a couple of years ago after the Vancouver Canucks were bounced from the Stanley Cup final by the Boston Bruins and chaos ensued that took several years to settle in court. It could have

turned violent if the police had ventured into the crowds to prevent selling marijuana to minors. The question left to viewers on TV or onlookers at the site was how the government can possibly devise a means of keeping the sale of marijuana out of private hands and protect underage Canadians to access. The courts appear to have made it clear canadians can feel free to “grow their own” - not that they already are doing so. So I see this as al-

ready out of control -- and government and the law will have a hell of a time taking it back. Marijuana, as a recreational drug is illegal in Canada today. Laws however, don’t appear to apply any

Great Chili Cook-off

DISTRICT OF KITIMAT

FIREWORKS REGULATIONS The District is considering changes to the discharge of fireworks in the community and the significant amendments are shown below. Currently, fireworks may be set off for a total of 30 days over the three periods below and the long periods of activity can be unsettling for members of the public and pets. It is proposed to reduce the number of days to a total of three instead of over a long period.

And the third annual Chili Cookoff took off with four hot, hot, hot spicy samples of chili. The Kitimat Snowflake Seniors Centre, Branch 129 hosted the cookoff at their centre on April 19 and challenged city council, the Kitimat firefighters and Kitimat RCMP to cook the best chili ever in Kitimat. Four sample servings with a side of coleslaw and a homecooked piece of cornbread to sop up the chili, were served by each group to a full house of hungry ‘judges’. From left to right, Ray Foster, president Seniors Branch 129, Councillor Mario Feldhoff, District of Kitimat councillor, Firefighter Dave Ingram, Kitimat Firefighters Local 1304, and staff sergeant James McLaren, Kitimat RCMP are shown in the photo above preparing the dishes for service. The Kitimat RCMP retained their title as reigning champs for the best chili as first place winners. Proceeds for the Chili cookoff are donated to the Kitimat Relay for Life. Photo Louisa Genzale

Devastating bat disease reaches West Coast Shannon Lough Black Press White-nose syndrome isn’t just something you might see at unsavoury parties, it’s also a deadly disease that has been wiping out bat populations in much of North America. The disease was first detected in New York in 2006, and by 2010 it reached Canada and has been moving west ever since. The first dead bat from white-nose syndrome was found near Seattle, Washington on March 31, 2016 and the B.C. government and conservation organizations are reaching out to the public to help prevent possible devastation to bat populations on the West Coast. “The reason this is so shocking is prior to the Washington State case the nearest westernmost connection was 2,000km away so we thought we had more years before it was going to reach this far west,” said Ashleigh Ballevona, the co-ordinator of the Skeena Bat Program. White-nose syndrome is a fuzzy white fungus that grows on exposed skin on the bats while they hibernate over the winter. The fungus can be seen on their ears, muzzles and wings but it also affects their tissue and blood vessels. Eventually the bat dies of dehydration and starvation. “It hits them when they’re hibernating and hibernating in large numbers, so when it hits them it wipes out a lot of bats in one go,” Ballevona said. Spring is the best time to detect the dis-

ease as the bats leave the caves to build roosts. The Skeena Bat Program was initiated in 2014 to work with the public in monitoring bat populations in the region. The organization is asking the public to report any sightings of dead bats and bat roosting sites in buildings, such as bat houses, attics and sheds. Since the first case in New York, there have been six million bat deaths reported in eastern North America. The disease hasn’t gone further east than Georgia until it jumped to Washington state this year. Researchers are still trying to determine if it’s the same strain as what has been affecting bats in the East. Ballevona said there is no known human risk to white-nose syndrome but if someone finds a dead bat she asks they report the discovery to the Skeena Bat Program, and to collect a specimen while wearing gloves. For more details contact skeena@bcbats. ca.

Wildlife detectors tested in B.C. Tom Fletcher Black Press

A pilot program in the Kootenays is testing roadside wildlife detectors to prevent collisions by warning drivers

of approaching elk and deer. Large animals approaching the roadway at two locations on Highway 3 will trigger flashing warning signs for drivers. The systems are set up

near Elko and Sparwood. The transportation ministry estimates that one in 25 crashes in B.C. are wildlife collisions, and has used fencing, underpasses and overpasses as well as static signs

to avoid collisions for highrisk sections of highway. The electronic signs use radar and thermal cameras to detect moving animals, and software developed in the province of B.C.

From the Pulpit: Why Worry? Luke 12: 25, “And which of you by worrying can add a single hour to his span of life.” When I read this passage for today I think of how when we look around us we can see that God is in control of everything. Jesus is saying that if God has even the lilies of the field in His control; if He knows how many hairs each one of us has on our heads then we can rest assured that He also has the events of our lives in His control. All God has ever asked of us is to trust Him and yet we do the opposite. Worry is the opposite of trust. Worry is the number one psychological disorder in North America according to the Mayo clinic who claims that up to 85% of their total caseload is directly due to worry and anxiety, and 70% of patients could cure themselves if they could get rid of their worries. But how can that happen? Well, Jesus said in the verse above, “Which one of you by worrying can add a

Secondary school apprentice scholarship awarded

From the Pulpit Redeemer Lutheran Church

Pastor Clint Magnus single hour to his span of life?” Now, lets understand that Jesus is not speaking about living a thoughtless existence without planning. What He is speaking of is having a divided mind. You see, the worrier attempts to live the future today and that is impossible. So Jesus gives us the answer in verse 31, “Seek 1st the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added unto you.” Where do you seek the kingdom of God? Look into the manger and see the Son of God who dedicated His life to saving you. Go to the cross and observe His hands, which bore the spikes so that you would not need to die eternally. Look to the lonely places where the outcasts of society live… where Jesus went to heal and restore lost and hurting souls. Look

there and you will see how Jesus can do the same thing for you. Look to Christ who brought the Kingdom of Heaven to earth and then the rest of it will fall into it’s proper place. Today Jesus tells us, “Don’t get all caught up chasing worldly priorities because you are in God’s hands.” In Him, you’ve always been in God’s hands, right there in the middle of His gigantic palms. He wants us to know that we can trust Him because he proved Himself trustworthy in going to the cross to pay the debt of our sin. So don’t worry, it is the Father’s pleasure to give you the kingdom through faith in Christ. Live in the grace of God given to you in Christ Jesus; trust in Him and all those other things will be added according to God’s good will and pleasure… amen.

Seniors may miss out at tax time Tom Fletcher Black Press

Low-income B.C. seniors may miss out on important benefits if they don’t file an income tax form, B.C.’s Seniors Advocate says. With the April tax deadline approaching, Elizabeth Mackenzie has reminded seniors that 13,000 B.C. residents were found in a national survey to have missed out on the Guaranteed Income Supplement for as much as seven years. Once identified, seniors received retroactive payments from Ottawa. “GIS is a key support for the lowest income seniors,” Mackenzie said. “These are seniors living on $17,300 annually or less; however to receive this GIS you must file an

income tax return.” Other B.C. senior benefits that require tax filing include Shelter Aid for Elderly Renters (SAFER), a subsidized BC Bus Pass for seniors receiving GIS, and Medical Services Plan premium assistance for lowincome B.C. residents. Co-payments for home support service are also waived for seniors receiving GIS, and publicly funded residential care and assisted living rates are calculated based on aftertax income. Volunteer income tax clinics hosted by community agencies in B.C. offer free tax preparation. A list of free tax preparation services is available on the Canada Revenue Agency website or by calling the office of the Seniors Advocate at 1-877-952-3181.

Among three recent presentations from the Ministry of Education, Chad Duncan of Kitamaat, centre, was presented with a $1,000 scholarship for competing level I of the secondary school apprenticeship program. Duncan achieved the scholarship by completing 900 hours within six month of graduation, which is required in the Carpentry course. Duncan is now enrolled and taking the level II carpentry course offered at Northwest Community College in Terrace. Pictured here is (left) Brigitta van Heek, Trades coordinator and (far right) Colin Light, maintenance supervisor for Kitamaat Band Council. The carpentry course is offered to students who are encouraged to begin trades training while still in high school.

Ban Plastic Bags in Kitimat

St. Anthony’s school grade six class approached Kitimat city council on April 18 with a compelling presentation of the devastating effects trashed plastic bags are having on our city and environment, and requesting city council to encourage the city of Kitimat to ban plastic bags in the community.
