New lodge officially breaks ground

An official ground breaking ceremony for the new seniors lodge in Coleman was held on Friday, October 5. Construction will continue throughout the winter and is expected to run for two years, with an opening date scheduled for summer 2020. The new lodge will provide a total of 85 rooms - 61 living units and 24 dementia care units. “It’s a great opportunity for our community. It’s going to be a beautiful building and people are going to love living here,” says Mayor Blair Painter. The location of the lodge has been a contentious area for some community members, who have criticized the lack of accessibility to walking areas and institutions, especially when compared with the opportunities offered at the current lodge location. Mayor Painter says the municipality is ready to “help in any way we can” and partner with project leads to create accessible areas around the lodge, but cautioned that budgets would dictate the opportunity. The municipality supplied several parcels of land for the new lodge and this particular spot was selected by the province.

Transmission development in the Pass back on the table Survey area expanded to include Crowsnest Pass, although no routes through Pass at this time AnnA KrOupinA Pass Herald Reporter

Crowsnest Pass is once again being included in a study area for the development of a transmission line for the Chapel Rock to Pincher Creek Area Transmission Development.

There are two parts to this project: a new transmission line and an Alberta-British Columbia intertie restoration.

The AB-BC intertie project does not involve any new transmission lines to be built, only a reinforcement of the existing 1201L transmission line that would increase its capacity. This line runs north of Coleman. As part of this project, a brand-new substation – occupying a footprint of approximately 90x100 metres - is required to be built somewhere north of Highway 3.

The second component of the project, the one that connects renewable energy generated in the Pincher Creek area to a new substation - to be called the Chapel Rock Substation - may affect Crowsnest Pass directly and would require new transmission towers to be built.

Altalink is proposing one line from either the Goose Lake Substation or Castle Rock Ridge Substation, both located north of Pincher Creek, to terminate at the new substation.

During the workshop sessions that Altalink and Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO) hosted in April 2018, Crowsnest Pass was not part of the “study area”, the area being considered for the new transmission route.

At a Council meeting on October 2, however, AESO and Altalink advised that the study area had been expanded to include Crowsnest Pass. According to John Grove, municipal and community relations manager with Altalink, no actual routes have been drafted in the municipality and Groves alluded to the topography and the cost of construction being prohibitive.

However, he was clear in stating that the option is still there.

“We are here today because in a prior iteration of this project, it got suggested by stakeholders that a route get directed through Crownest Pass,” he said when presenting as a delegation to council.

“Crowsnest Pass was not originally in our planning template. We're here to say we’re back to that starting point again and as a courtesy, be aware. It may get pushed, but it's unlikely.

We went through the exercise of why we didn’t site it here this time and we have the arguments, but if stakeholders make any suggestion of a route, we are obligated to go and look at that suggestion. It doesn't mean we’re obligated to build it, but we have to compare it to the others."

This project has been talked about for a decade.

In the last iteration in 2015, Altalink had a proposal to bring a 240-kV line through Bellevue along the ridge, which then connected to the AB-BC intertie.

Back then, strong opposition to Altalink’s proposed line cited negative agricultural and environmental impacts, landscape fragmentation, questions

Pictured above are the two examples of the types of transmission poles that Altalink is proposing. On the right is single-circuit H-frame pole and on the right is a single-circuit monopole.

about the need, and visual and noise concerns.

Now, Council also still holds many of these concerns, particularly around noise and visual impact.

“The other reason why Crowsnest Pass is opposed to it is that we don’t make any money off of these things,” says Mayor Blair Painter. “We don’t get anything out of it. We would get some lineal assessment for the new portion of line, but minimal for what we have to put up with."

The need AltaLink has been directed by AESO to develop roughly 40 to 50 km of new transmission line to connect renewable energy

to where it is being demanded.

At this time, Altalink is proposing roughly 40 to 50 km of one single-circuit 240 kV transmission line, likely an H-frame or a single monopole structure, to run from the Pincher Creek area where wind power is being developed to a proposed substation, named Chapel Rock. This new line would need to head west to meet the 1201L, the main intertie with BC and other centres in other parts of Alberta.

At the April 2018 open house, project developers were undecided whether a single-circuit, twinned single-circuit or double circuit transmission would be re-

“I don’t think it’s fair that the open houses are in Pincher Creek and we're being left out.”

-Blair Painter Mayor, Municipality of Crowsnest Pass generated in the Pincher Creek area to the B.C. intertie. The need for renewable energy is dictated by the provincial government’s mandate to have renewables provide 30 per cent of Alberta's electricity by 2030 and a phasing out of coal-fired electricity.

Particularly in southern Alberta, wind and solar power generation have strong potential.

Since southern Alberta is less heavily populated, the need is low compared to the generation that will be produced. So, according to Sami Abdulsalam, Director, Transmission Planning with the AESO, there is a need to move that power from where it is generated

quired. Now, Grove had indicated that one singlecircuit 240-kV option had been selected, which means it can go within road allowances and thereby opens up many more siting options.

Altalink and AESO are currently in the public consultation phase for preliminary routes that, according to Grove, is expected to continue through to summer 2019. A facility application is expected to be filed with the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) - the regulator - in fall 2019 and, if the project is approved, construction would begin in fall 2020 and be completed between 2022-2023.

At this time, there are no open houses scheduled for Crowsnest Pass as it’s not directly impacted by preliminary routes.

However, Mayor Painter doesn’t feel that this is a valid reason and stresses that Crowsnest Pass needs to be involved in the consultation right now.

“In my opinion, now it’s kind of flipped and there is a lot of opposition in the MD [of Pincher Creek] to this project and I think it could potentially come back here. I have concerns and I think it’s going to roll down to which community speaks the loudest and is the most opposed to this development in their area,” he says. “I don’t think it’s fair that the open houses are in Pincher Creek and we're being left out. We need to have as much opportunity to voice our concerns in our community as they do for their community.”

Open houses are scheduled in Pincher Creek, Cowley and Lundbreck in two weeks.

The Simple Raven’s Post

by Avner Perl

The road to happiness is straight ahead.

I believe that a human is created in the image of God. “What is God?” is a harder question to answer. My good friend who has Native blood in his veins said that God is the creator. In that case, let's assume that a human is also a creator. Perhaps I can create one miracle. Feeling the responsibility of being a creator upon my shoulders, I went asking people what they see as the most important change we should make to this world. Some answered fast, while others took time to think about it, but the same answer came forth. If people had one wish, they would ask for PEACE. Humans are scared most of the other humans. Why? There are a number of good reasons, big and small.

Most obvious is the fact that people need a space on Earth and need to eat. Breathing and drinking water are also important, but it used to be guaranteed, which it is no more. Next comes the need to be safe from other humans who will kill you to take what you have, followed closely by enterprising folks who will use you and discard you. That is a problem for us all, but more pronounced for the 52 per cent of humans who are women.

There is a war between the various races of humans.

A war between the rich and the poor, between national groups, religious groups, those who feel entitled to more than others, people who have other sexual attractions, various moral codes and, of course, the gender war. The biggest reason of all is for who will control the world.

People fight for control at all levels, and we can see it even in the behavior of toddlers. In history, the conflict was between rulers who managed to build empires and use their populations as great armies, and slowly it shifted to economic control dictated by those who have the most money and want to rule the world at any cost.

A lot of the super-rich people are innocent of this charge. People who worked hard in some given field and are living according to their means are not the problem and often contribute greatly to philanthropic causes.

Often, their initiative is advancing peace. Others resort to cheating the rules, while others abuse whole populations, and even cause wars. You can count on the weapon manufacturers, who must have wars and those who use energy as currency to gain and keep power. It is hard to sift out who is in which camp, so all get blamed.

The small percentage of rich people who have something to do with wars have bought into the Neo-Liberal or Extreme Right theory and are now using their considerable resources in politics, while the unaware masses are buying in simply by following well-crafted marketing campaigns. The ideas are simple. Lower taxes (mostly for corporations), reduce government regulations and keep out people who may water down profits.

Big anti-immigration sentiment has been artificially created. Next come demands to increase regulations on

those who hinder business ventures ( environmental reasons for example), increase taxes on the lower economic classes or reducing their government services, and often place restrictions on organizing labor, minimum wage opposition and the like.

“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable,” said John F. Kennedy, speaking about the first anniversary of the Alliance for Progress on March 13, 1962.

People around the world are doing peaceful demonstrations, getting arrested, beaten and sometimes killed. Many more suffer financial ruin and ridicule, even by the most powerful person in the world. The situation is not improving since a great number of political leaders, as well as many media outlets, are subject to pressure from big money.

Since the argument in favor of a few taking the resources of the many is so weak, they are pressured to use an old technique called lying. Nothing is new under the sun.

“There is nothing in the record of the past two years when both Houses of Congress have been controlled by the Republican Party, which can lead any person to believe that those promises will be fulfilled in the future.

They follow the Hitler line - no matter how big the lie; repeat it often enough and the masses will regard it as truth.” ― John F. Kennedy This is a quote from 1962. Many of us remember the campaign that led the US and not-so-great Great Britain to wage war on Iraq. Repeated lies, followed by millions killed and, sorry, sorry, we made a mistake.

I purchased a greeting card. It wishes “health, peace and prosperity” to the recipient. Being made in the image of the creator, I want to give health but it is already given.

Most ailments are healed by themselves. I wish to give prosperity, but I live in a very prosperous province of a prosperous country. With many years of plenty behind us, every person here should be prosperous if the wealth would have been shared. I want to give peace, but peace is not possible when so many people are continuously abused for reasons they can not change. What I can do with my power to create is to convince people to use the power they already have and strive for equality.

Two forces fight to subjugate most humans. Communism, which is now defeated, and Alt-Right Fascism.

Peace will be possible when we get together and insist that both will be securely neutralized by “we the people.”

Women accept pay to be tortured on pornographic movies or to marry into wealth. Kids are starving or trafficked for sex and labor. People from countries where disaster or war strike are forced to beg for their lives and often perish. The solution is out of the hands of the creator since people have free will, which they must exercise.

Peace, the most coveted commodity, is possible if most of us, instead of complaining, will demand that our leaders will create conditions that will allow it. Be not afraid.

Editorial and Opinions Living in a SmaLL town So I’ve already told you about Quinn playing hockey in Lethbridge and you know what, it’s expensive to play elite hockey.

My fees here in Crowsnest Pass Minor Hockey were around $400 for an entire year. We often had practices for an hour and a half and we had amazing coaching.

We fundraised through Thunder Challenge and our fees were so reasonable. People were so good about giving away their equipment and if you really struggled, there was KidSport.

I’ll tell you, you don’t get better bang for your buck than Crowsnest Pass Minor Hockey.

Now, I pay $5,000 a year for Quinn to play hockey in Lethbridge and we do two huge fundraisers. At one point, I tried to figure out which kidney I could donate into the black market to pay for hockey. Instead, I was hit with a “meat selling fundraiser.”

Well, I will tell you I’m not one for asking for help and I’m too busy to sell stuff for organizations so usually, if I’m asked to sell, I just buy for my family. However, we were asked to sell around $1,500 in meat for our fundraiser. If our team of 17 makes $25,000 in gross sales, then we will net $5,000 for the team.

I usually buy from everyone; I know what it’s like to put yourself out there, so I just buy. I’ve been to countless parties and have countless things from trying to support home-based businesses and fundraising parents.

So I figured for this one, I was going to put myself out there and ask for help on social media.

My post said, “Help, I need to sell $1,500 worth of meat for Quinn.”

Well, it’s been five days and I’m at almost $6,000 worth of meat sales. I have to deliver 53 pieces of meat to people here in the Crowsnest Pass, Cranbrook, and some of my swimming families in Lethbridge and Claresholm.

I’m overwhelmed with people and humbled to think of the kindness and generosity of this small town.

When I told my Lethbridge team, they looked at me like I was lying. Most families are struggling to make the $1,500 goal.

I looked at them and said, “You have no idea what an amazing community I live in and raise my family in. You city folk don’t get it at all.” I will always drive to play elite hockey rather than move to a city where not one really cares.

So thank you my, “Garden of Eden”, for helping this family out. Your generosity humbles me.

Quinn is writing 53 thank you letters for every person that bought from us. It was his idea to personally thank them for supporting his dream. At 12, even he understands how amazing this gesture was.

At least that’s the way I see it.

John Pundyk.CoM

Friends and Neighbours

by Jocelyn Thomas Jocelyn Thomas is an artist and writer who lives in Blairmore

Marie Nel “The Cherry On Top” is a very apt and inviting name for the bakery/coffee shop, soon to open in downtown Blairmore, on the eastern corner of Main Street, just after the cinema. Owner-operator Marie Nel is hoping to welcome the community by the end of November. It will be a several-years dream finally come true for her.

Born in Nylstroon, South Africa on a mixed farm, Marie has been living in Canada (five years in the Pass, and five in Grande Cache), having emigrated with her family, who live in South Africa. Says Marie, “We weren't rich, but we were rich in the love that our parents gave to us and to all of our friends.” She is married to George Nel, whom she had met and wed in South Africa. George is mine supervisor at Teck.

Marie has specialized in office management, having pursued studies in that field after high school. One of her first career dreams was to become a veterinarian. Marie was exposed to learning how to bake as a little girl, watching and assisting her mother in baking. Two of her favourite treats to both create and serve are chicken pot pie and cheesecake.

Marie's resume includes having worked as a florist, working in a parts store, being a receptionist/dental assistant, and also doing a similar job in a doctor's office.

The Nels have two children – Heinrich (21) and Bianca (who is almost 19). Heinrich is in his third year of studying carpentry as an apprentice; he hopes next to become a professional welder. Bianca is preparing to be an Occupational Therapist Assistant. Says Marie; “She is motivated by a strong need to help others.” (Marie and George also make a home for their little miniature Pincher, also from South Africa, named “Snippie”.)

Known by her friends and close associates to be loving, caring and compassionate, as well as ambitious and hardworking, Marie strongly believes in “always doing your very best in any pursuit” and in tough times, “always keeping going while holding your head high.” She has always emphasized the importance of honesty and humility with her kids.

Travelwise, Marie has been back to South Africa four years ago, and in the future, looks forward to exploring Europe, with Italy and Greece at the top her list of destinations. She has already travelled around Canada.

Marie also enjoys gardening, and grows flowers and vegetables. She also especially enjoys reading novels and listening to any genre of good music depending on her mood, and especially South African music. The couple prefer watching television programs about criminal investigation like Sherlock Holmes, NCIS and Bones. On a getaway weekend, you just might find them in a beautiful surrounding wherein George can indulge in one of his favourite pastimes of bait fishing.

What Marie Nel loves best about the Pass is that, unlike in much of the world and in South Africa, there is no real poverty. So, what would this caring, loving person do if she were queen of the world for a day? Of course her answer is: “Eliminate world poverty and hunger, and make the world safer so that you did not have to look over your shoulder when going for a walk.” Not surprising that the atmosphere Marie Nel will endeavour to create in her shop will be warm and cosy. She says it will be as much a way to give back to the community she loves, as it is a business. “A place where people can always feel good,” says Marie. Simple as that.

Budget, RCMP, school bussing AnnA KroupinA Pass Herald Reporter

Budget survey “If you were given $1,000 to spend on core services provided by the Municipality, how would you allocate the funds?”

“In addition to property taxes you currently pay, would you support a dedicated 1% increase to property taxes to specifically fund the rehabilitation of Municipal assets and infrastructure?”

“Please select the top 5 priorities that you feel require the most attention from Council and Municipal Administration.”

These are some of the questions part of a survey that, as of Friday, October 5, the municipality is disseminating for residents to have their say regarding the municipality’s budget priorities.

The survey, which takes approximately 15 minutes to complete, can be accessed online via the municipal Facebook page, the municipal website and through the digital newsletter. Hardcopies are available at the office and will be inserted into the Pass Herald newspaper. There will be drop boxes at various locations throughout the community or it can be dropped off at the municipal office.

The deadline to submit

responses is October 25. Administration will compile the results in time for the November 1 budget meeting. A prize, as of yet undetermined, will be randomly drawn among those who completed the survey.

Visit the municipal website or Facebook page for updates.

RCMP boundaries The Crowsnest Pass RCMP detachment will be requesting a boundary change from the Southern Alberta District.

Presently, the Crowsnest Pass detachment boundary extends up to Chain Lakes Provincial Park along Highway 22. As RCMP Staff Sergeant Greg Wiebe explains, they will request the north boundary to be pushed down approximately 20km.

“If I have one constable working, doing patrols 100 km up the road leaves the base of the populace here without police,” says S/Sgt. Wiebe. “It’s a 30-minute response time for us to come back down. All in all, we just want to have better service for our clients here.”

Although he adds that the detachment receives a minimal call volume from that area, the boundary change would increase client satisfaction and service delivery, and enable

more proactive patrolling and more frequent interactions with residents.

With Nanton RCMP detachment approximately 20 minutes away, he says it just makes more sense for them to be responsible for that area. It would also be more convenient for residents in that area to drive to the Nanton detachment, which is considerably closer to them than that of Crowsnest Pass.

The Municipality of Crowsnest Pass and the MD of Ranchlands have agreed to provide a letter of support.

2.4-km rule for busses Mayor Blair Painter had spoken with David Eggen, the Minister of Education, to make a case for amending the 2.4-km bussing rule in Alberta, which stipulates only chil-

dren living at least 2.4 km away from their school are eligible for school bus transportation to and from their school.

“There are busses, a lot of the time completely empty or with one or two kids in, driving past all the other kids that are walking to school, and they don’t pick them up,” he says.

Minister Eggen had said they would examine the issue further.

- Municipal Council budget deliberations AnnA KrOupinA Pass Herald Reporter

Discussions are underway for the 2019 budget. At the budget meeting on October 4, Council heard new initiatives from each of the municipal operating departments and voted on whether to retain the project in the draft budget. This was a preliminary round of deliberations and any of

the initiatives can be removed or added at later meetings.

The next budget meeting is scheduled for November 1, where council will review grant requests from community organizations and Council committees.

At a meeting on December 11, Administration is expected to present a re-

port that will indicate the proposed tax increase necessary to fund all the new initiatives approved by Council. At that time, councillors will engage in further debates to remove or add initiatives that would bring the tax rate to a level acceptable to them.

Here are some notable projects that council saw value in retaining as new initiatives at this early point of the budget process: PROTECTIVE SERVICES

Feral cat initiative - $10,000, capital budget

PROPERTY TAX PLANNING TIPP TIPP enables you to pay your 2019 tax in full by December 31, 2019, without interest, late payment penalties or having to remember the June 30th payment deadline!!

The Tax Instalment Payment Plan (TIPP) is a popular program that allows you to pay your property tax on a monthly basis instead of one payment in June.

The deadline to enroll is December 15th.

Payments begin January 5, 2019.

To learn more about TIPP, contact your MD office at 403-627-3130.

Fire Chief/Manager of Protective Services Jesse Fox proposed a TNR (trap, neuter, release) program as a long-term solution to mitigate the feral cat problem in the community. To learn more about the program, see page 4 of the October 3 issue of the Pass Herald.

Council supported the initiative and noted that if they will invest in a TNR program, they should commit to investing for “at least the next three to five years.” Otherwise, they worried the issue would resurface or not have a lasting effect.

COMMUNITY SERVICES

Recreation facilities master plan - $100,000, capital budget This initiative seeks to create a guiding document for municipal facilities. It would identify areas like efficiencies, future capacity needs, and life expectancy, and provide a long-term vision that would guide council’s decision-making and investment choices.

The goal would be to prevent the municipality from trickling in money for renovations on facilities that are past their overall life.

For example, the MDM was built in 1966 and over the past several years, $1.2 million was spent on renovations. Patrick Thomas, Chief Administrative Officer (CAO), pointed out that when such large amounts of money are spent on renovations, it makes it difficult to walk away from a facility, even when that may be the most practical choice.

Community walking trail system - $139,000, capital budget Several projects were on the table for the walking trail system.

The first initiative is to perform modifications totalling approximately $30,000 on a piece of equipment that would allow for more efficient snow removal on the Crowsnest Community Trail. Council also endorsed the idea to pave the section of the Crowsnest Community Trail between Blairmore

and Frank for $97,000. This would also allow more effective snow removal services performed on this section.

Finally, for $12,000, Council approved the creation of a walking-only trail to be created starting at the Albert Stella Memorial Arena parking lot and leading to mid-mountain Pass Powderkeg.

These are three separate initiatives that relate to walking trails in the community. During future budget discussions, Council can approve none, some or all of these initiatives.

Coleman Ice Plant $900,000, capital budget One of the biggest items among the new initiatives was the purchase of a new ice plant for the Coleman Complex, estimated at $900,000. To learn more about the ice plant repairs, see the August 29 issue of the Pass Herald.

DEVELOPMENT, ENGINEERING & OPERATIONS

ECC generator - $90,000, capital budget The MDM is the facility designated to act as an Emergency Coordination Center (ECC) during disaster events, but has no alternate power source in the case of a power outage.

This turned out to be an issue during the October 2017 wildfire and wind event, when the MDM lost power and emergency management services had to relocate.

Although a gas-pow-

ered back-up generator was proposed as a new initiative for 2019, Councillor Lisa Sygutek noted that an alternate power source was imperative to have in place before the new year as winter is quickly approaching.

Council passed a motion to fund a new generator and the Emergency Coordination Centre Facility, estimated at $90,000, from reserves immediately, to be put back into the 2019 reserve fund from the 2019 budget.

Water Meters - $2.3 million, capital budget By far the costliest item for new initiatives were water meters. The topic has been discussed several times in the past but has always been deferred.

Crowsnest Pass is one of the last places in Alberta that is not metering water consumption, instead charging a flat fee. This impacts the municipality’s ability to obtain grants and be viewed as a water stewards. Water meters would be able to accurately track the consumption of individual users and would increase the efficiency of the system by helping to identify leaks. According to Environment Canada, in 2009, Canadian households with water meters used 73 per cent less water than flatrate water pricing schemes.

Consumers would be footing the bill for the purchase and installation of the meters. If approved, Council would need to determine a financing plan and a consumption rate per cubic metre.

Thanksgiving - Thank You God Hello my name is Pastor Bill Karasz. I was born and raised in this area for most of my life. I’ve really enjoyed the journey of life that has brought me to this point.

Many a struggle but with the Lord on my side my family and I have persevered. Now I have the privilege of coming to you once a month in this column we call the pastors pen. This first feature comes during the thanksgiving season so we’ll focus on what we really need to be thankful for.

Thanking God For Who He Is. Never underestimate the power of thanks-giving. The Bible emphasizes caution against the neglect of giving thanks to God. The lack of gratitude is a sure tell sign that one is walking in darkness. The result is a pattern of defensiveness, defiance and the subtle nurturing of hatred.

Living in a spirit of thankfulness is beneficial to our spiritual and physical well being. One of the most important facets of the Christian's life is the discipline of appreciation regardless of one's circumstances. Whenever we purposefully exercise gratefulness for who God is, we are in essence exercising faith in God and His will.

Gratefulness and faithfulness to God are inseparable. Gratitude and faithfulness to God accepts the fact that there are no other reserves to draw upon or to seek after.

Thanking God For What He Did...

Christians have inherited an immeasurable treasure called the grace of God. The sufficiency of God's grace is the core reason why Christians are compelled to be forever grateful to God. Yet, so many are willfully trapped by their efforts to obtain God's favor by their works. This explains why so many Christian remain woe-fully ungrateful. One's toleration of ungratefulness is to remain intimately entwined with bitterness, envy, and strife. The Bible exacts thanks-giving as an expression of one's sense of completeness in Christ.

Purposefully acknowledge your oneness with Jesus Christ. Know that Christ is your sufficiency. Thanks-giving is not something that we can manufacture. It is simply the out flow of knowing and responding to God's favor and faithfulness (Philippians. 4:6,7).

Amen!

West Line Creek active water treatment facility restarts Press release

Teck announced today that the restart and recommissioning of the West Line Creek Active Water Treatment Facility has now begun, following the completion of upgrades to the facility.

The West Line Creek Active Water Treatment Facility, located at Teck’s Line Creek Operations (LCO), was constructed to remove selenium and nitrate from mine affected water as part of Teck’s work to implement the Elk Valley Water Quality Plan. The goal of the Elk Valley Water Quality Plan is to stabilize and reverse the increasing trend of selenium and other substances to ensure the ongoing health of the watershed, while at the same time allowing for continued sustainable mining in the region.

The recommissioning process commenced August 30, 2018 and is expected to take approximately four months. A new advanced oxidation process (AOP) has been incorporated into facility operations to address a challenge related to selenium compounds in the treated water. The AOP will also be incorporated into future water treatment facilities.

“Teck is committed to supporting the environmental and economic wellbeing of the Elk Valley,” said Robin Sheremeta, Senior Vice President, Coal. “We are committed to taking the steps necessary to achieve the objectives of the Elk Valley Water Quality Plan, including major investments in ongoing research, monitoring, and water treatment facilities such as the West Line Creek facility.”

West Line Creek Active Water Treatment Facility Facts: - Treats up to 7.5 million litres of water per day - Selenium concentrations are reduced by about 96% in treated water - Nitrate concentrations are reduced by over 99% in treated water In May 2018, Teck announced the start of construction of a second water treatment facility in the Elk Valley, the Fording River South Active Water Treatment Facility, located at Fording River Operations.

The driver who hit me doesn't have car insurance. What do I do now?

Screeeeeeech! Just as you were going through the intersection on a green light, your car is knocked sideways by another car. This is no mere fender-bender. Your car is a wreck and after checking to make sure nobody is hurt, you start to decompress. At least the other driver's insurance will pay for the damage. But what happens if the other driver isn't insured? Unfortunately, it can happen.

No matter what province or territory you live in, it’s mandatory to have car insurance if you’re driving a vehicle in Canada. If you’re caught driving in Canada without car insurance you will, at the very least, be fined or lose your license; you may even face criminal charges. Yet, every year thousands of drivers take a risk by driving without insurance. The dilemma is how are you, a responsible driver, impacted?

So, what happens if the other driver in an accident isn't insured?

What happens during and after a road collision depends upon the laws of the province you live in.

If you live in a province where there is “no fault” insurance, this doesn’t mean that no one is assigned responsibility for the accident. It means that regardless of who is at fault, you only deal with your own insurance company when making a claim. You don’t have to chase down the other Megan Cartwright driver’s car insurance company to seek financial compensation for an automobile collision.

Insurance Broker The benefit is that you can settle your claim faster, easier and receive any benefits you’re entitled to sooner. However, it may also mean greater increases to your car insurance costs.

To keep your premiums from increasing too much, your insurance company would chase down compensation from the other driver’s insurance provider. It’s a process known as subrogation. But if the other driver has no insurance, your insurance provider will not be able to recoup any costs, which means the total cost of the claim must be paid by your insurance provider. This will increase the impact the claim has on your premiums.

Even in provinces where accidents are assigned fault—meaning the insurance provider of the person who caused the accident pays for the damage—you may find yourself in a legal quagmire. The only recourse you may have is to hire a lawyer to take legal action against this driver. But if the other driver doesn't have insurance, chances are he or she also doesn't have a lot of assets, so going after them in court may not produce any tangible results.

If you’re worried, it’s possible to protect yourself by adding uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage to your policy. Known as the Family Protection Endorsement, this additional coverage can protect you from having to bear the full cost of an accident with a driver who doesn’t have valid insurance. Your A-WIN Insurance broker can walk you through the costs and benefits of having this optional coverage.

If you find yourself in an accident with an uninsured driver, follow these three steps.

Step #1: Call the police While not all accidents require a police presence, any collision with an uninsured driver does need to be legally documented. By calling the police you can get access to the police report and this will go a long way with your insurance provider, who must assess the claim.

Step #2: Take pictures Although it’s a good idea to take pictures of any collision, it’s especially important when dealing with an uninsured driver. You want to have a record of what happened, and the damage caused. You never know when this evidence will be crucial in deciding your case.

Step #3: Contact your insurer By contacting your insurance company, you are starting the claim process. If you already have uninsured motorist protection, your insurance provider will be able to assess and settle your claim relatively quickly. If you don’t have this coverage, your independent A-WIN Insurance broker can help you plan your next steps.

No matter what happened, the good news is that you have car insurance and that means that you’re covered if someone uninsured hits you. Your insurance company will pay for the damages to your car. Better still, your A-WIN Insurance broker will be with you every step of the way.

Your local A-WIN Insurance broker, Megan Cartwright is happy to discuss what happens if you are in an accident with a driver who is uninsured and the benefits of adding the Family Protection additional coverage to your policy.
