Environment committee: City has power to reject proposed landfill expansion KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

City council should do everything in its power to stop Upland Excavating from expanding its landfill to accept nonhazardous solid waste, according to a report done for the Campbell River Environment Committee. Matt Hulse, an articling student from the University of Victoria, told council that the city should act to prevent a proposed soil remediation facility that some environmentalists fear will impact the city’s drinking watershed. “Putting a large quantity of toxins in a landfill on top of an aquifer that feeds local rivers and drinking water does not make sense from an environmental or public health perspective,” Hulse said at council’s May 24 meeting. “Fortunately, the City of Campbell River can prevent this from happening. It’s the right thing to do and you do indeed have the legal authority to do so.” Hulse, who developed a report on the potential impacts of Upland’s landfill proposal on behalf of the Campbell River Environmental Committee, said the city can use its zoning bylaw to stop the expansion even if the province approves Upland’s Operational Certificate application. Upland has submitted a waste discharge application to the Ministry of Environment for an Operational Certificate to accommodate a landfill on Upland-owned lands at 7295 Gold River Highway that would treat and deposit up to 500,000 cubic metres of non-hazardous solid

waste. But Hulse said, in his opinion, the proposal violates the protection Upland’s existing landfill has been given as a nonconforming use. Under a section of the Local Government Act, Upland’s existing landfill is protected even though it is operating on property that is not properly zoned to accommodate a landfill. Hulse said that protection, however, is no longer valid if the non-conforming use is expanded. “It is apparent from the proposed landfill design plan and with the map in the original permits and from observation of Upland Excavating’s activities on the property that the landfill footprint is going to increase,” Hulse said. “It is also evident the proposed landfill will accept significantly more material than the existing landfill.” Hulse said the proposed landfill is expected to accept construction, demolition and land-clearing materials, including asbestos while the existing landfill accepts inert municipal waste, stumps, trees and land clearing waste. Hulse argued that an increase in the amount of accepted materials, as well as two new uses on the property associated with the landfill – an aeration pond and an infiltration pond – puts the proposal on a scale, or to an extent or degree, greater than the existing landfill. “This means that the proposed landfill would not continue as a nonconforming use and it would not be protected from the zoning bylaw and therefore could be

prohibited from operating by your bylaw,” Hulse told council. “It makes it sufficiently different in kind from the existing landfill and therefore no longer a non-conforming use.” Hulse prepared his report on the Upland landfill proposal on behalf of the Campbell River Environmental Committee which is concerned about the landfill’s proximity to Rico and McIvor lakes, which are connected to the city’s drinking water system. Leona Adams, a member of the Environmental Committee, has said the proposed waste landfill site straddles a large aquifer, which is hydraulically connected to Rico and McIvor lakes. Upland representatives have said numerous times that safety components will be built in to the system to ensure the city’s drinking water is not threatened. “Our design will entail a completely double lined containment, no material can spill outside or be deposited outside of the liner, water cannot spill out or drain off onto unlined ground and cannot flow uphill into McIvor or Rico Lake,” Terry Stuart of Upland wrote in a letter to the Mirror last month. “The water treatment facility,

as well, cannot overflow onto the ground.” Stuart also acknowledged that Upland has been in business in Campbell River since 1969 and since that time, has always been committed to environmental excellence. “It is for this reason a comprehensive site investigation has been completed, generating a technical assessment report, hydrogeology and hydrology characterization reports, geological studies to confirm neither ground water or surface water will be impacted,” Stuart told the Mirror Tuesday. “A voluntary public consultation plan and subsequent report was also completed to understand the concerns of the community.” Stuart said Upland recognizes the University of Victoria Law Centre for “all the great work they do in communities” and said Upland wants to continue to work with the community. “Upland Excavating has always had a positive relationship with the community and invites any interested parties, including the Campbell River Environmental Committee, to contact us to find out more and visit the site,” Stuart said. Upland can be reached at 250-286-1148.

Firefighters tackle a fire at a downtown business on Tuesday. Damage was contained to a small area in the corner of the building.

Fire damages downtown business Two people escaped uninjured from a fire that struck a local business in downtown Campbell River Tuesday. At 2:30 p.m. that day, the Campbell River fire department responded to a report of a structure fire at 1376-16th Ave. “Crews arrived to find smoke coming from the rear of the single storey commercial building. Firefighters from the No. 1 fire hall downtown

were quick to respond and knock the fire down within minutes, which prevented it from spreading throughout the building,” says deputy fire chief Thomas Doherty. Fire damage was contained to a small area in the rear corner of the building along with some smoke damage inside the restaurant. The cause of the fire was accidental, and no injuries were reported.

It’s not often that an organization is upset at receiving $255,596 to add to its budget, but School District 72 (SD72) feels the money the government is returning to them is somewhat of a slap in the face. The school district has been informed they – and all other school districts in the province – will not have to fund their portion of the second part of the two-year government “administrative savings” clawback, meaning $25 million will be returned to districts across the province from what had previously been taken. SD72 Secretary-Treasurer Kevin Patrick told the board on Tuesday night that the district will still need to continue to prove they have made the savings laid out in phase one of the “administrative savings” directive – a cut of about $290,000 that was made last year – but will be granted at least a one year reprieve from phase two. “As of right now, they know it is effective for 2016-17, but they did not make a commitment that it carries on beyond that,” Patrick told the board. Trustee John Kerr summed up the seemingly-overarching view of the board by saying while they will consider how to make use of this

money in a positive way for the students of the district, “we shouldn’t lose sight of the fact that we’ve been given back less than one-third of what was taken from us over the last year and a half.” “Last year,” Kerr continued, “the government stripped $290,000 from our budget, and that became the baseline for this year. So that $290,000 was also stripped from the budget this year by virtue of the budget being lowered by that amount.” Basically, he said the fact that the government isn’t taking another quarter-million dollars from SD72’s coffers after already taking more than a half-million isn’t really something worth celebrating. “I feel like someone who was walking down the street and got mugged, and the robber took my wallet and

took $100 out of it and then when bystanders protested, he handed me back 30 bucks,” Kerr said. “I guess I’m conflicted as to whether I should be grateful I got my $30 back or angry that my $70 is gone. Right now, I’m leaning toward the latter.” Tr u s t e e s J o y c e McMann and Darryl Hagen repeated the nowcommon sentiment that it would just be nice to know from year to year what they should be expecting, so they can actually plan things and not be constantly caught off guard. “We’re like ships being tossed around,” McMann said. “We don’t know what we’ve got to work with. We don’t know whether we’ve got the same amount next year. They’re not committing to anything beyond this year, so we’re still in the same boat of not having any sense of how we

can establish any kind of stability within our district based on the erratic coming and going of money the government has all the control over.” Despite the board passing their final 2016-17 budget this week, secretary-treasurer Patrick said there is still time to put this new money to use next year. “It’s understood by the ministry that most boards will have completed their budget processes, and although they want to see it spent on the students in the 201617 budget year, they realize it probably will not be able to be incorporated into a budget until the final budget which the board will pass in February,” he said. In the meantime, they will be thinking about how best to use the additional revenue and try to appreciate that at least they’ve gotten their metaphorical 30 bucks back.

Ministry of education looking for feedback on how parents want to be informed on their child’s progress in school MIKE DAVIES CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The new provincewide public school curriculum will focus more on individual progress and less on meeting preconceived standardized benchmarks, which is why a new way to assess student success needs to be established, according to the provincial government. To that end, the Ministr y of Education is changing the way schools test for competency and is looking for public feedback on how parents and guardians want to be informed about their child’s prog-

ress. The government says that between June and October, “parents will be consulted on what they want to know about their child’s progress and how they want to get that information,” though how exactly that will happen has not been specified. School District 72 superintendent Tom Longridge says many of the changes won’t affect our district too much, since the provincial changes move towards what we’ve been doing here already, at least in our elementary and middle schools. Instead of periodic report cards being sent home to tell parents where their child is at in terms of their learning, the focus will now be on “in-class assessment” and regular communication with parents and caregivers, the government says, which is how we’ve been doing it here for some time. “In this district we have not given out grades from K-8 for a number of years now, but are instead involved in a

– Tom Longridge, SD 72 superintendent

continuous conversation with parents in regard to where their students are,” Longridge says, adding that it’s his understanding that parents appreciate being continuously informed about their child’s progress rather

than receiving a report card three times per year. High school assessments will be the biggest change in our district under the new system. Beginning in two years (the 2017-18 school year), Longridge says, high school students will complete two provincial assessment exams – literacy and math – rather than the previous five subject-specific provincial exams. Longridge says they don’t feel this change will cause any problems for students enrolling in University or college, as there will still be “marks” to look at from Grade 11 and 12 literacy and math exams – which are the grade levels schools look at anyway when it comes to granting enrolment. The government also says post-secondar y institutions both within

and outside B.C. have been consulted on the new curriculum and assessment system and they are confident the changes will “improve the seamless path” for students continuing their education beyond high school. But Longridge says they will definitely be keeping their eyes on that aspect, “to make

sure that no students will be negatively impacted by these changes,” adding he feels the changes allow teachers, parents and students to have “more flexibility and opportunity rather than narrowing focus and narrowing expectations.” Overall, he welcomes the changes. “We are very excited about it because we feel it

will be a positive change,” he says, ”and we feel it facilitates and enhance what’s happening in the changing curriculum.” For more information on the new curriculum and its implementation, head over to curriculum. gov.bc.ca, or use the link on the SD72 website at sd72.bc.ca

Vacations can be pretty exhausting As some of you may have noticed, I was conspicuously absent from these pages last week. The reason for that is simple: I took a week off. But did I, really? During my week of not coming to the office, I instead puttered away around my house, accomplishing things. This, in some ways, was just as exhausting – mentally and physically – as my full-time career is. Instead of talking to people, documenting what they say, researching background and context for that conversation, taking photographs to represent the story they are telling and then sharing the story of that conversation with the public so they can be better informed about what’s happening around them in their town, I was taking inventory of all the small repairs that were (and many still are) needed on my family’s home and chipping away at getting them done.

Elbowgate was awkward to say, and we’re glad to see that the ‘scandal’ is over already. An all-party parliamentary committee has recently decided to drop an inquiry into Justin Trudeau’s elbowgate scandal. On May 18, things got heated in the House of Commons. Trudeau grabbed a Conservative during a kind of human log jam in the House while trying to speed up a vote on assisted dying. He accidentally elbowed NDP MP Ruth Ellen Brosseau during the scuffle. This is one of those moments that seems to produce cognitive dissonance between Canadians and their leaders. Sure, we kind of expect that our MPs behave We say: A little with decorum and don’t dustup in the get into childish shoving House nothing to matches. So while NDP and Conget upset about servative MPs slammed Trudeau, the nation as a whole yawned and asked what the big deal was. He clearly didn’t mean to elbow Brosseau – if he had, that would have been another matter. And he apologized immediately, remaining in keeping with our national character. This is a country that eats up Rock ’Em Sock ’Em style-hockey, and most of us were in more violent fights when we were eight years old and arguing about who got to play tetherball next. Canadians like to say we’re nice, but we have a fairly high tolerance for a little violence, and we can tell the difference between an accidental bump and a more aggressive attack. And we don’t always have a problem with an overt attack – remember Jean Chretien taking a protester by the throat? It didn’t do him any lasting harm in the polls. It’s a nice reminder, however, that the PM is not intended to be a linebacker. If he needs someone roughed up, he can send a backbencher next time. Justin should have taken a page from his father’s book, stayed in his seat, and told his opponents to fuddle duddle. -Black Press

plished with a proud smile, they looked at me like – and some of them even said aloud – “that doesn’t sound like a vacation.” I told one person I very much respect about how I’m already looking forward to my next batch of days off so I can actually relax a bit, and he told me to make sure I’m “precious” about it. “Sometimes you just need to be selfish about that kind of thing,” he said. So, I guess this edition of Mike’s Musings is me trying to convince myself to do that. The next time I have time off, I’m going to accomplish fewer things and the things I do are going to use skills I already have so I don’t use much brain power learning something new. Okay, so that was the extent of my pep talk, for now. I’ll let you all know if it worked after the next time you don’t see my name in the paper for a week.

Regional district delays reserve decision despite anxious community KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The Strathcona Regional District board has refused to support what one director says is a “totally reasonable position” on a First Nation’s proposal to establish a reserve off York Road. At last week’s meeting, the board decided to hold off on endorsing a resolution to not provide the Tlowitsis First Nation with a letter of support for its proposed reservation. The resolution was supported by three of the four electoral directors at the Electoral Area Services Commit-

tee meeting May 11 and was before the board for endorsement at its meeting last week. A majority of municipal directors, including some Campbell River councillors, said they needed more information before making a decision, much to the dismay of Area D Director Brenda Leigh. “That is a totally reasonable position to take,” Leigh said. “How can we send a letter of support for something we don’t know what we’re supporting? What my community wants, all we asked for, was information and consultation and we did not receive that information.”

Leigh said her community fears the reserve will lower property values and infringe on the rural, quiet lifestyle her constituents are accustomed to. She said in the absence of any concrete development plans, the regional district should stay neutral. “My community is suffering,” Leigh said. “They’re phoning and emailing me every day. They are in a high state of anxiety over this.” Campbell River Director Ron Kerr said the board should be listening to Leigh. “I think we really need to listen to what Director Leigh expresses – the voices of her constitu-

ents,” Kerr said. “It’s easy to make decisions about somebody else but the people who live in the communit ies b eing directly affected are the voices we need to listen to. I think that’s so important.” Leigh thanked Kerr “profusely” and said all she’s trying to do is represent her community. Area C Director Jim Abram agreed with Kerr and said he disagreed with the board’s decision to defer a decision on the electoral area directors’ resolution. “You just hit the nail on the head when you spoke to the representation issue. I think that’s key,” Abram said.

“There’s no reason to keep a community or a director in a state of anxiety just to put off a decision,” he added. In the end, however, the majority of the board did vote to defer until its June 15 meeting, with directors Abram, Leigh, Kerr, Marlene Wright and Gerald Whalley opposed. The board also voted to have the provincial Ministry of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation and the federal Ministry of Aboriginal and Northern Affairs provide the board with an opportunity to further discuss the Additions to Reserve process the Tlowitsis are embarking on.

About the proposal The Tlowitsis are planning to build 75 residential units to accommodate 100-200 of its members on lots 3-8 on the north side of York Road. The purchase agreement with TimberWest hinges on the Tlowitsis getting approval from the federal government, through the Additions to Reserve process, to convert the property to a reservation. Tlowitsis Coun. Thomas Smith said the Nation is nearing the end of the information gathering process and is preparing to submit its Additions to Reserve application to Indigenous and Northern

Affairs Canada (INAC) in the coming weeks. Both Smith and the regional district have stressed to the public that the land use plan for the York Road site is only a schematic and not a formal plan. A tourist commercial campground and RV park are under consideration by the Tlowitsis but Smith said any land development needs pre-approval by INAC. Smith has told the regional district that the Tlowitsis are open to consultation with the community and that there will be a high level of land use planning upon approval of its Additions to Reserve application.

McHappy Day draws smiles all around

he 23rd McHappy Day raised $15,139 which will be shared between the Ronald McDonald House and the Campbell River Hospital Foundation. Local McDonald’s owners Jens and Mary Rolinski exceeded their fundraising goal of $10,000 and are thrilled with the generosity of their community. “We love McHappy Day and are extremely grateful of our partner-

ship with Jens, Mary and their staff,” says Stacey Marsh, executive director of the Hospital Foundation. “McHappy Day has raised over $26,000 for Campbell River Hospital and we think that is something to smile about.” In 2015, 22 families from Campbell River stayed at the Ronald McDonald House for a combined 48 visits. In the last nine years, Campbell River McDonald’s has raised

Got a green thumb itching to sow seeds for a vegetable garden? Plan now for your winter

harvest. “With spring come sprouts, and if you’d like great tips on what to grown when, or even try winter gardening, take in the workshop Next Winter’s Harvest Starts Now,” says City of Campbell River recreation programmer Judy Ridgway. Workshop instructor Dr. Linda Gilkeson is a master gardener residing on Salt Spring Island. She has worked for the Province of B.C. promoting programs to reduce and eliminate pesticide use, and was

the executive director of the Salt Spring Island Conservancy for many years. Gilkeson has also published several manuals and books on pest management and organic gardening and several other books including, The Complete Guide to Yearround Organic Gardening in the Pacific Northwest, which has become a B.C. best seller. “More than 30 different varieties of vegetables do very well in Campbell River’s climate over the winter months,” adds Ridgway. “Linda will share what to grow,

when and where to plant and simple methods for protecting crops and how to fit winter crops in with summer plantings to make the most of your garden space.” Next Winter’s Harvest Starts Now runs from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Monday, June 6 at the Community Centre. Cost is $25 ($20 for 50+members). To register or for more information on this or other programs please call the Community Centre, 250-2861161 or the Sportsplex, 250-923-7911.

Campbell River hockey product Paige Beauregard has been selected to a strength and conditioning camp for the top 40 U16 players in the province. Beauregard was selected to the BC

Performance Program was established to identify and train athletes and team personnel for possible participation at provincial, national and international events. The program delivers a message of the skills, attitude and dedication expected of a high performance athlete. It also allows

skilled atheletes to identified in a systemic way across the country. The strength and conditioning camp in Richmond will also be attended by 40 U18 players. At the Identification Camp in Salmon Arm in April, Beauregard performed well in her training as well as partici-

but imagine just riding a little bit more each week, maybe just one hour more, or one more day of commuting to work. All of a sudden you are feeling a bit healthier, a little fitter and next time the cookie plate goes by you can grab a couple with no guilt, because you know the furnace will burn it all. So we can diet and cut out all the comfort foods…or we can just ride a bit more and enjoy life every day, all the while, staying healthy and fit.

don’t generally worry too much about my diet; between riding and chasing my kids I manage to keep fairly fit and an extra cookie or two is not overly noticeable. But in the last two months I just can’t get enough food and the benefits of exercise vs: dieting have become very apparent. Me and my buddy Jeremy are training for the BC Bike Race this July. Its a seven-day mountain bike race starting in Cumberland and ending in Whistler; all on some of the best single track riding B.C. has to offer. To get ready for an event like this, we have to ride a lot. We spend many many hours in the saddle each week and we climb tons of hills. Road climbs, gravel climbs and lots of technical trail climbing. Now that we’re getting down to crunch time with only four weeks left until day 1, the training is getting even more intense. As you can imagine if we don’t fuel the furnace, the fire burns out

Ian Sutherland senior has lived in Sayward for 50 years and has fond memories of fishing with his friends and having laughs while wading the Salmon River. Ian was working on the tugs and first arrived in Sayward expecting to stay for two weeks and has never left. Ian senior won the Salmon River derby in 1969 with a monster of a fish 23 pounds. In the 60s, many anglers who came from Campbell River fished the Salmon River and they came with two lunch kits one for work and the other for fishing. Other notable anglers who fished the Salmon River were Vern Skogan, Rich Glover and Jerry Mitchell. If you talk to

On Discovery Pier, Jack Heemskerk landed a 19-pound salmon on May 22 and before that, he caught – and lost – an 18 pounder. Catch reports on the Pier have three fish caught and the latest catches are recorded on the scoreboard. I talked with Jack last Saturday and he mentioned if you’re willing to put in your time fishing, you could get a salmon.

Ian Sutherland, Sayward memories of fishing the Salmon River.

any senior anglers in Sayward the stories about fishing also included the late Red Webster. Ian Sutherland had said his son was very enthusiastic at the age of 11 and he continues to fish the Salmon River. For many anglers fish break off the line and rods
