n CRANBROOK HILL GREENWAY SKI TOUR

Cont’d from page 2 The purpose of this event is to provide an opportunity for skiers of all ages, who can ski at least 20km in 5 hours, to experience the pleasure of skiing the Greenway Trail from UNBC to Otway. The route is fairly challenging with some ups, a few downs and some sharp corners. If you can ski the upper trails at Otway you should be able to complete this tour. (Remember you don’t have to ski down a hill that looks intimidating, you can always side step) Overall the route changes in elevation from 800m at the start to 610m at Otway, a net loss of 190m. So although there are a few climbs, mostly at the beginning, the route does descend! The last 4km are mostly down…

Information on the route of the Greenway Ski Tour

The following is an over view of the route for the ski tour.

Registration: Registration is available on site at the UNBC Greenway parking on the day of the event from 8:45a.m.to 9:45 a.m. but it is easier if you register in advance.

Fee:

By donation with a minimum of $10/family and $5/individual (all proceeds to the Greenway Endowment)

Start:

Greenway parking area at UNBC

Finish:

Rotary Lodge at the Otway Ski Centre.

Start time:

Anytime between 9a.m. – 10a.m. No continuation past Takla Road after 1:30p.m., course closed at 3p.m.

Equipment:

Classic skis; skating equipment is not appropriate for this event. The route will be groomed and weather permitting a single track set.

First aid:

Participants should be prepared with their own basic first aid supplies, the route will be swept at the end of the day. Cell phone coverage is intermittent along the route.

Refreshments: There are no refreshments available along the route. Skiers are advised to take liquids and snacks. At the Rotary Lodge at Otway the Side Door Kitchen will be open with a wonderful menu to satisfy all tastes after a hard ski. (Cash only) Shuttle:

Participants should arrange their own shuttles. There is adequate parking at both Otway and UNBC.

The route goes north-west from UNBC to Otway. After a mild ascent, the trail reaches a high point with panoramic views of local mountains such as Tabor Mountain.The trail then descends to a beaver pond and small lake, and eventually passes an old mine site. Next, the headwaters of the major drainage in the greenway are reached.The trail follows the drainage.This section is one of the most scenic parts of the greenway.The trail alternates between open south facing slopes and forested north facing slopes. As one leaves the drainage, a private woodlot with a dense mixed-wood forest is encountered. One eventually emerges from the trees and parallels a regenerating forest, which has an open sunny aspect. Next, the greenway trail enters a denser forested area with a fairly consistent canopy of interior Douglas-fir, spruce and birch groves. With a slight fall in altitude, the greenway trail enters the Otway ski trails where it descends beside a small creek until reaching the biathlon area.The final section of the trail meanders through a lodgepole pine forest, following the ski trails until it reaches the parking area and the Rotary Lodge of the Otway Nordic Center.

Exhibit Barkerville Innovative invites Chinese to touch B.C. History www.pgcitizen.ca | Wednesday, February 13, 2013

n a ground-breaking exhibit that fuses cutting-edge technology with history, Chinese citizens will have the opportunity to identify ancestors who journeyed to Barkerville, British Columbia during the gold rush of the 1860s.

Who Am I? Bridging the Pacific from Guangdong to Barkerville and Back is about to embark on an eighteen month tour to Hong Kong and Guangdong Province in China.The exhibit recently closed a month long run at Sun Yat-Sen Gardens in Vancouver.This innovative collection invites visitors to explore Barkerville’s extensive historic photographs of Chinese immigrants through over 60 panels of beautifully displayed photos and stories

and two interactive computer kiosks.

At the kiosks, visitors will have the opportunity to fill in the blanks by identifying their ancestors as they swipe through the collection of 1400 images using a unique iPad interface.

“Barkerville’s extensive historic photographs, featuring many from the Chow Dong Hoy collection, are a rich catalogue of the Chinese population in Barkerville, and a testament to the significant contributions they made to the success of the town,” says curator Bill Quackenbush,“but we know little about them, who they were, and what their connections were to their families in China.

Cont’d on page 5

n INNOVATIVE EXHIBIT Cont’d from page 4 This is our attempt to mitigate that as well as to inform them and the people of Guangdong of their ancestor’s role in the development of British Columbia.”

“As a National Historic Site of Canada and one of BC’s Heritage Properties, Barkerville has always prided itself on its ability to give a social context to our explanation of our history,” adds CEO Judy Campbell.“This combination of technology and history is one of those rare instances when innovation has the potential to bring us closer together. If we are able to identify even one of the subjects in this collection, this exhibit will be a resounding success.”

The exhibit has already resulted in some positive identifications via descendants of Barkerville residents now living in the Lower mainland.

Barkerville’s collections have an increasingly important role to play in building bridges between cultures and linking our past to our future.The historic town has been praised by Chinese officials for its excellence in preserving and presenting the history of the Chinese immigrants.The buildings, photographs and archival material tell stories that have been lost on the other side of the Pacific.

The goals of the Exhibit are to create important links for research and communication with museums and academic institutions on both sides of the Pacific, to enhance awareness of

Barkerville in China, and to increase tourism to BC and Canada. As Canada looks to China for new markets, Barkerville’s strong cultural connection is an asset and presents an opportunity to showcase and contribute to mutually beneficial objectives.

arkerville Historic Town is looking for a creative restaurateur to develop a unique British Columbian culinary experience with a distinctly Cariboo flavour.The Wake Up Jake Coffee Saloon should endeavor to present the spirit of late-19th century gold rush cuisine for the palates of an early-21st century family.

Barkerville Historic Town is requesting proposals for the seasonal operation of the Wake Up Jake Coffee Saloon, a 60+ seat, Victorian-style restaurant.This amazing, turn-key operation is a golden opportunity for the right entrepreneur, and requires little start-up investment.

It is now a private business within Barkerville Historic Town, the largest living history museum in western North America, and its facilities (including a fully-equipped industrial kitchen, tables, chairs, linen, tableware, and historical dĂŠcor) are provided by the Barkerville Heritage Trust in return for a negotiable rental fee.

Proposals will be accepted, via post or email, by the closing date of Friday, Feb.22, 2013.There will be an optional (though recommended) viewing of the Wake Up Jake Coffee Saloon on Friday, Feb.15, 2013. Proponents or their designated agents are strongly encouraged to attend.

Working towards a sustainable

Burns Lake

Hilda Earl, Jessie Singer and Jeff Ragsdale

I

n an uncertain world, with the tragedies and challenges Burns Lake has faced in the last year, can we position our village for a more prosperous, resilient future? The Our Burns Lake Team (OBLT) believes that we can.

OBLT members include representatives from CNC, First Nations, Village Council and staff and interested citizen volunteers.

The Team is responsible for developing the Burns Lake Integrated Community Sustainability Plan (ICSP) in partnership with the Whistler Centre for Sustainability.

The plan is a policy document that will outline a vision for a sustainable future and guidance for decision-makers to move us towards that future. A sustainability plan needs to emphasize long-term

thinking, far beyond fiscal and electoral cycles. It requires collaboration between community residents and stakeholders, creating partnerships and ongoing monitoring and evaluation to ensure success.

Why Sustainability?

Communities across Canada are beginning to look at new ways of making decisions and planning for long-term development. Sustainability planning recognizes how our actions can have multiple affects on many different realms. It looks beyond the monetary bottom line to encompass social, environmental, and cultural well being as fundamental for sustainable development in the future.

Here in Burns Lake we are taking the first steps towards developing in a sustainable way.

Cont’d on page 9

n BURNS LAKE

Cont’d from page 8 The potential benefits which can be realized in our community through this process include savings over time through reduced energy and waste management costs, increased resiliency against rising global prices for energy and goods and attraction of new residents and businesses.

Public Engagement Process Public participation is key to developing a plan that reflects what the community feels are priority areas for investment.

From June to November 2012, the OBLT asked for input via two public surveys and through public information boards at community events and presentations to various community groups.They took to the streets, hanging posters on bulletin boards and in businesses, sent out news-

letters and went on local radio. A remarkable 173 completed surveys contained valuable insight into what aspects of our community we should both preserve and enhance in the future. Participants highlighted Burns Lake’s small-town feel and sense of neighbourliness, the importance of local First Nations to our cultural heritage and the need to maintain a high quality local environment. On November 3, 2012, public comments were integrated into a draft plan during a day-long action planning session attended by the OBLT and interested citizens.

Moving forward At the time of writing, the draft plan is complete and under review by the OBLT, Village Council and interested citizens.

Cont’d from page 9 Once the final plan has been adopted it will then be up to local organizations, citizens, and the Burns Lake local government to implement the actions the plan sets out to guide us to a more sustainable future.

The strong public engagement evident in the quantity and quality of input of-

fered in response to both surveys encourages team members to believe that yes, we can turn tragedy into opportunity, challenge into triumph.The means to do so is in our hands.

What every bride needs Christine HINZMANN | Citizen staff

T

here’s a bride-to-be who doesn’t know where to start her wedding plans so she’s going to get some great ideas at the 22nd annual Sweetheart Bridal Show on February 24 at the Civic Centre.

Kara Biles, Canfor’s human resources coordinator, and Andrew Bell, Aberdeen Glen golf course superintendent, have been together for eight years.

Bell finally popped the question last March and their destination wedding -hopefully in Hawaii --will take place next February.

“We’re just starting to plan the wedding so I’m really excited to go to the Sweetheart Bridal Show so I can find out more information because I have no idea

where to start,” said Biles.

“We’re definitely doing a destination wedding and I really prefer Hawaii but anywhere hot where I can be barefoot on the beach is basically what I’m looking for. I think Hawaii is so romantic but we’ll also look at Mexico, Costa Rica and the Dominican.”

Careers in plumbing and heating put you in high demand

A

re you looking for a career in a billiondollar industry? Do you want a job that’s at the forefront of technological innovation, from green and sustainable building skills to advanced supply chain management? Or, are you a parent who wants your child to have an engaging, in-demand career promising long-term employment prospects?

If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, you or your child may want to consider a professional career in Canada’s plumbing and hydronic (modern hot water) heating industry.

When it comes to plumbing and heating, most people are familiar with the front-line technician: the hands-on individual who drops by your home, tools in hand, to install your new bathroom or fix a leaking radiator. However, jobs for installers represent only a small fraction of the career opportunities in plumbing and hydronic heating.

Those employed in this industry are not just concerned with fittings and fixtures.There is also a high industry demand in fields such as accounting, engineering, sales, marketing and supply chain management.

Professionals who choose a career in plumbing and heating become part of a thriving, $5 billion industry that already employs over 20,000 Canadians, say observers in this field. In addition, steady construction and an aging workforce indicate an on-going high demand for skilled

and motivated personnel during at least the next half-decade, according to the Canadian Institute of Plumbing & Heating (CIPH), a not-for-profit trade association representing manufacturers and wholesaler distributors. CIPH member- companies big and small, regularly have job openings in locations all across the country.

It’s also predicted that salaries for new hires will keep increasing due to the demand created by green initiatives, such as the Royal Architecture Institute of Canada’s ‘2030 Challenge’, plus government building incentives. If you are interested in green technologies, you will find plenty of opportunities in the foreseeable future.

As an example, did you know that all new buildings contain cutting-edge, energy-saving plumbing and heating systems – and that

more than five million Canadian buildings will be energy-audited and retrofitted with new, ‘greentech’ in the next 15 years?

Choosing a career in plumbing and hydronic heating is certainly about much more than wrangling a wrench. It’s a constantly growing industry that offers jobs on the forefront of technology, green building, sustainable development, logistics and computer-aided project management.

More information on careers in this industry is available in online at www.ciph.com. www.newscanada.com

n HERE COMES THE BRIDE Cont’d from page 12 Biles has a list of what she needs to find out.

“We will be looking for a travel agent because I don’t even know who to talk to at this point,” said Biles, who made the Prince George Chamber of Commerce’s Top 40 Under 40 list last year.“I want to know more about Save the Date invitations and wedding invitations, wedding favours and photographers - all these pieces. I haven’t even picked out a dress - I have done nothing, so this is my starting point. I need to know where to go for things and who to talk to about all of it.”

Every bride wants their wedding to be completely unique so the Sweetheart Bridal Show is offering workshops providing valuable tools to plan the perfect wedding.

There will be plenty of information sessions, including the ins and outs of destination wedding planning and a hands-on look at putting together custom wedding invitations.

To address what some might consider the most important bridal issue - the dress

- the fashion show has been ramped up to present a dazzling production featuring the latest trends as well as addressing those wardrobe questions for the mother of the bride and bridesmaids.

Door prizes at the 22nd annual Sweetheart Bridal Show include the grand prize of a one-week stay in an ocean view condo in Kannapali, Maui, a round trip cruise for two to Alaska, custom design wedding bands from Ken’s Goldsmithing and two-night accommodations plus spa package and breakfast at the Jasper Park Lodge.

Tickets are on sale at Image in White Wedding Gallery, 1594 Third Avenue, Ken’s Goldsmithing in Pine Centre Mall, at the Prince George Citizen, 150 Brunswick Street, Gallery Bridal Boutique at 1677 Seventh Avenue, the Ramada Hotel Downtown at 444 George Street, and online at www.ticketweb.ca.

The show also features its own full colour glossy magazine and a new website has been created that will be running 365 days a year and has updated wedding stories and resources daily at sweetheartbridal.ca.
