DESCRIPTION
August 22, 2012 edition of the Kitimat Northern SentinelTRANSCRIPT
Shaun ThomasAs Enbridge continues to move for-
ward with its plans for a pipeline to ship oil through Kitimat to Asia, David Black - the owner and president of Black Press which owns newspapers throughout BC including the Kitimat Northern Sentinel - announced this morning plans to con-struct a $13 billion oil refi nery in the Kiti-mat area.
Black incorporated a company called Kitimat Clean Ltd., which plans to build a refi nery 25 kilometres north of Kitimat and 25 kilometres south of Terrace large enough to process all of the capacity from the Northern Gateway pipeline prior to it being shipped through the Douglas Chan-nel. The plant would process up to 550,000 barrels per day of dibit to be shipped back to Edmonton, 240,000 barrels per day of diesel, 100,000 barrels per day of gasoline and 50,000 barrels per day of kerosene. The product would then be shipped to a marine terminal site in Kitimat that is cur-rently planned to be used for the Enbridge crude oil shipping terminal.
“The refi nery will eliminate any chance of a crude oil spill from ship-ping through Kitimat. Gasoline, kerosene and diesel, which are the products from the refi nery all fl oat and are all evaporative,” explained Black.
“We want it to be the cleanest and the greenest operating re-fi nery in the world...Because Canada has such stringent environmental regulations, it will likely be the cleanest refi nery built in the world in the next 20 years.”
According to Black, processing the oil before it is shipped out will remove the threat of offshore pollution from heavy cruise due to the evaporative properties of kerosene, gasoline and diesel.
Construction plans call for ground-breaking in 2014, with the facility com-plete in 2020. During the fi ve year con-struction period, an estimated 6,000 workers would be needed, while another 3,000 permanent jobs would be created during operation, with half of those being provided through private contractors.
“I really believe all of these jobs are needed for the next generation and for those in communities where mills may be
closing in the next few decades,” he said.With work on the Kitimat Moderniza-
tion winding down at about the same time as the construction of this project gets un-derway, Black says there could be a large labour force here in the northwest.
“If all the projects move ahead, the tem-porary construction jobs could move into full-time as people move from one proj-ect to another,” he said, noting the 2,100 people at the modern-ization camp would be available for this or the
proposed LNG plants move ahead.“I don’t see Kitimat as a Fort McMur-
ray. When kids need work they zip up to Fort McMurray and then back, whereas I can see people looking at Kitimat as a place they could move to and make a home.”
So far, prior to the submission of the environmental assessment application ear-lier this morning, Kitimat Clean Ltd. has spoken to the different levels of govern-ment about the project, have reviewed the project with investment bankers and been told the revenues and profi ts are enough to enable equity and debt fi nancing, have discussed the plans with Enbridge and other oil sands producers and brought on-board a refi nery consultant. However, the $13 billion for the construction of the project has not been confi rmed.
“The money for the environmental assessment has been put up. It will take about two years for the assessment, and while we’re doing that we’ll be talking to industry and customers in Asia and get-ting the rest of the fi nancing in place,” said Black, noting that not all of the part-ners in the Northern Gateway project are in favour of a refi nery as opposed to ship-ping the oil.
“If there is no Enbridge pipeline there is no refi nery. And if we don’t believe the pipeline can be built in a way that en-sures any leaks will be immaterial then it shouldn’t be built.”
However serious discussions with the Haisla and the Kitselas, on whose tradi-tional territories the terminal and refi nery would be located respectively, have not taken place. Art Sterritt of the Coastal First Nations, however, says more work needs to be done with other groups along the shipping line.
“The air pollution and impact from this refi nery will have the same impact on the area, and removing the problem for the Skeena and the Nass is not solving half of the problem...You’re going to be polluting that area even more so,” said Art Sterrit of the Coastal First Nations.
“If you’re serious about doing busi-ness in the north, you need to be out there talking to the First Nations in the region.”
Black also said the refi nery would help address concerns from the province about an economic benefi t to BC from the pipeline.

Task force ferry feasability studySean Glanville
A feasibility study is now underway for a proposed ferry service based out of Kitimat.
The proposed project would provide an inter-coastal ferry services from Kitimat to and from the remote villages of Hartley Bay, Klemtu and Bella Bella as destinations.
A local task force has recently completed a feasibility study, which they have sent to various B.C. Ministries.
Kitimat Mayor Joanne Monaghan men-tions that the next step is bringing this pro-posal to the Ministries involved and getting their guidance.
“We hope the government departments will be able to provide feedback on the pro-posed project as well as some funding,” said Monaghan.
Monaghan feels access to ferry trans-portation would be a huge step forward for people living in the villages as it would put them in reach of necessary educational and employment opportunities along with basic amenities.
“Ferry service would provide a means of reaching educational facilities in Kitimat and access to fi nding jobs in Kitimat as there is plenty of unemployment in the villages,” said Monaghan.
Ferry service would also provide essen-tial medical treatment and allow seafood to reach market quicker.
“Service would also allow access to hos-pital and medical supplies for places such as Klemtu, Bella Bella and Hartley Bay and additionally supply food for their crusta-cean farms and getting the product to market quickly.”
Monaghan mentions that the task force that produced the study was funded through the Northern Development Initiative Trust and the feasibility study which was com-pleted last week suggests the ferry would run three days a week.
At this stage, the main concern is getting the ferry service up and running and Mon-aghan mentions ideas such as incorporating industry or tourism are not a main concern at this point.
“The service will have very little to do with tourism or industry at this stage.
Perhaps down the road if the villages want to incorporate some type of cultural tourism that may work for them in the future,” ex-plained Monaghan.
Monaghan also notes as far as industry is concerned, the ferry service could perhaps provide transportation of workers and goods to projects in the area at some point.

VA N C O U V E R – A Victoria business-man is heading up a proposal to build a $13-billion oil refi nery in Kitimat.
David Black, chairman and owner of Black Press, an-nounced Friday he wants to build a world scale oil refi nery at Kitimat, B.C.
Black told a news confer-ence in Vancouver Friday he is submitting an environmental assessment application to build a “world scale” oil refi nery on behalf of Kitimat Clean Ltd., a company owned by Black. The application to the B.C. Envi-ronmental Assessment Offi ce is expected this fall.
The proposed refi nery would be big enough to process all the diluted bitumen carried by Enbridge’s proposed North-ern Gateway pipeline
Black said he has had ex-tensive discussions with En-bridge and other players in the Canadian oil industry, but none has so far offered to back the project.
Black said he will use his own money to fi nance the pro-posal through environmental assessment, which he expects to cost several million dollars.
After that, he said investors would be needed to complete it, assuming both the refi nery and the pipeline receive approval.
He has had preliminary meetings with Kitimat and Ter-race councils, as well as the
Haisla and Kitselas First Na-tions in the region.
The proposed site is a 3,000-hectare Crown industrial property between Terrace and Kitimat.
Kitimat Mayor Joanne Monaghan spoke by phone to the news conference, offering encouragement for the propos-al. But Black acknowledged he does not yet have formal sup-port from communities or in-vestors.
“I see myself as a catalyst to make this happen,” said Black, who fi rst proposed the idea to the province and the industry seven years ago when he was chairman of the B.C. Progress Board.
Black is working with Glenn McGinnis, a consulting engineer and former manager of the Ioco oil refi nery in Port Moody.
“We want it [the Kitimat refi nery] to be the cleanest and greenest upgrading and refi n-ing site in the world,” McGin-nis said.
The refi nery would pro-duce 240,000 barrels per day of diesel, 100,000 barrels per day of gasoline and 50,000 barrels per day of kerosene or aviation
fuel, refi ned from heavy oil.
Among those attending the news conference was Art Sterritt, execu-tive director of the Coastal First Na-tions, a group in the Kitimat area that has strongly opposed
the pipeline proposal. Sterritt disputed Black’s assertion that a B.C. refi nery “solves half of the problem” with exported oil by shipping refi ned gasoline, jet fuel and diesel in tankers instead of heavy crude. Those products have their own risks, Sterritt said.
Black pointed out that without marine shipments of those fuels, the remote coastal communities Sterritt represents would not be able to function.
The lighter fuel products are still an environmental haz-ard, but they dissipate much more quickly and do not per-sist for many years like spilled heavy crude, he said.
NDP energy critic John Horgan was also skeptical.
“At this point, it’s a propos-al without business partners and without First Nations and local community support,” Horgan said. “It doesn’t change our po-sition [opposing] the Enbridge Northern Gateway project.”
Black said the refi nery will mean nearly 6,000 construction jobs over a fi ve-year period, 3,000 permanent jobs at the re-fi nery and tax revenue for vari-ous levels of government.

The Northwest Re-gional Airport is break-ing passenger records this year.
The Airport that services Terrace and Kitimat has seen an incline in passenger numbers.. and the num-bers for July were the highest in the airport’s history.
The Terrace-Kit-imat Airport Society President credits the industrial activity in the area. “Attribute it to the increased eco-nomic activity north and south of the air-
port, there’s an awful lot of activity taking place up north and of course you’ve got the Kitimat Moderniza-tion, which is ramping up on a monthly basis as well.” Burnett adds the increased revenue being generated by that traffi c... is enough to get a head-start on some airport projects.
One of which is resurfacing the main runway within the next fi ve-to-ten years. He says that project will be a major hit in the mil-lions of dollars

Shaun ThomasSkeena - Bulkley Valley MP Na-
than Cullen says he would “be very, very surprised” to seean oil refi nery in the Kitimat-Terrace area come to fruition.
“It’s another chapter in a story that is increasingly becoming more and more ridiculous. This wasn’t in Enbridge’s plans, it’s not in China’s plans, it’s not in the Prime Minis-ter’s plans so I don’t know where it came from...He’s making an an-nouncement with no money, no local support and no support from First Nations so it is very hard to take se-riously,” he said.
Black said he will use his own money to fi nance the proposal through the B.C. environmental as-sessment, which he expects to cost several million dollars. After that, he said investors would be needed to complete it, assuming both the refi n-ery and the Enbridge Northern Gate-way pipeline receive approval.
“There is a reason nobody is backing this...For a newspaper baron to say how the oil industry should be running when nobody in the oil industry is doing this themselves is ridiculous,” added Cullen.
Skeena MLA Robin Austin says while the project is ambitious, it doesn’t change the risks associated with the Northern Gateway pipeline.
“There is nothing wrong with the principle of trying to add value or economic benefi t to the project, but the potential for disaster with the pipeline is unchanged,” said Austin.
“Northern communities know the risks are too great, and that’s why they oppose the project.”
Kitimat mayor Joanne Mon-aghan, who called in and was the only elected offi cial to participate in the announcement, said she was ex-cited to hear about the plan.
“This project will probably, if it goes ahead and we are hopeful it does, change the face of the north-west forever,” she said.
“I think this is a great day in his-tory.”
Terrace mayor Dave Pernarows-ki said he too was glad to hear of the proposal, but was waiting to hear more about it before taking a posi-tion.
“The City of Terrace is always open to new business and job creation opportunities. Mr. Black is a highly respected and successful business-man in B.C. and, as the owner of one of our key media outlets, the Terrace Standard, he is a valued member of our growing business community,” he said in an e-mail to Black Press.
“At this time, we don’t know enough about the project to com-ment one way or another about it, but we look forward to working with Mr. Black in the future and engaging with our citizens regarding any ma-jor investments that could create jobs and help grow our amazing city.”
Kitselas chief councillor Judy Gerow said the band would be tak-ing a wait-and-see approach on a project that would be located on their territory.
“We don’t want to make any kind of statement of endorsement. We are still conducting the indepen-dent study so I think it would be too soon,” she said, noting the Black did meet with her prior to the announce-ment.
“We didn’t talk about partner-ship...We don’t want to go there now.”
For its part, Enbridge was trying to keep a low profi le on the day and released a simple statement about the Northern Gateway pipeline project.
“Enbridge Northern Gateway remains committed to the regulatory process reviewing our application for the project. The Formal Hearings as part of the Joint Review Panel process are set to begin September 4 where issues related to the project are to be reviewed in public and in detail,” said company spokesperson Todd Nogier.

4 Northern Sentinel, Wednesday, August 22, 2012
Prominent U.S.-based news website, the Huffington Post, has become the latest organization to cast doubts on the speed of progress on numerous northern B.C. LNG projects, expected to be based and up and running in Kitimat over the next seven years.
While the August 16 ar-ticle explores the Kitimat-B.C. LNG picture in a fairly lengthy and detailed manner, the website was unable to ex-tract from two major proponents, Kiti-mat LNG (Apache-EOG-Encana) or Royal Dutch Shell, any specific time line for a commitment of major capital or construction. Both have NEB per-mits to export LNG.
To support the case for doubt, Huff-ington Post writer, Rachel Mendleson, offers the opinions of Canadian Cen-ter for Policy Alternatives researcher, Ben Parfitt, who states, “ It is not at all clear to me that we’re actually going to end up with liquefied natural gas plants in Western Canada.”
Now, the CCPA claims to be “an independent, non-partisan research in-stitute concerned with issues of social and economic justice,” however its home page endorsement by Ed Broad-bent probably speaks volumes about the Center’s leanings. A meander through the website tends to reflect support for NDP policies and views.
Nevertheless, the Post article is disturbing. It points out, as has been done repeatedly, that B.C. comes late into the LNG game and trailing various other countries making faster progress or already in business shipping LNG to supposedly-hungry Asian markets.
It quotes Energy and Mines Min-ister Rich Coleman’s office, which re-fused an interview for the article, but e-mailed the ministry view that there are “currently no concerns” about the effect of other LNG projects around the world on the economic viability of those planned for B.C.
So let’s see this fall whether there is a reason for concern in Kitimat. Per-sonally I’ve been looking for similar commitments for some time.
On another matter, I cannot say how strongly I support the latest call, this time from the Canadian Taxpay-ers’ Federation, for the scrapping of B.C.’s pervasive carbon tax legisla-tion.
I would say it has been fairly ac-curately described as everything from
an abject failure to a blatant rip-off of the taxpayer – par-ticularly the individual B.C. vehicle driver.
Introduced with typical Gordon Campbell “green spin” in 2008, the carbon tax has become akin to a giant squid with its greedy tentacles suck-ing cash out of the citizenry of
B.C. through annual gas price increases at the pump, increases on domestic heating bills, on B.C. Ferry fares, public transportation fares, at grocery stores and really “across the board,” as shipping costs inevitably rose.
But it is at the gas pump that ev-eryday citizens see the impact of the carbon tax – now up to 6.67 cents per litre. Add the HST – it makes gas sev-en cents a litre more expensive in B.C. than anywhere else in Canada, not-withstanding local impacts on price.
That amounts to something around $3.50 extra on a regular car fill up or closer to $7 on the average truck fill-up, which makes it even more costly for many northern drivers who can’t just slip across to Bellingham and take advantage of U.S. gas prices or who can’t jump on the Skytrain to commute to work. The tax is also applied to die-sel and all oil-based fuels, as well as natural gas and coal, and has jumped every July 1 since 2008.

Canadian soccer
women fabulous I’m back in Williams Lake after a wonder-ful summer experience in Kitimat. Despite my short stint in the community it left a positive impression on me and I hope to return soon.During the London 2012 Olympics the moment that stands out for many Canadians was our women’s soccer team’s 4-3 loss to the USA in the semi-final. Christine Sinclair provided one of the greatest performances ever by a female soccer player. Not bad for a Burnaby girl. I’ve officiated hundreds of soccer games through the years, especially through university to help keep me in pocket money, so the one-sided officiating in the Canada vs USA game irked me more than the average fan.In the countless soccer games televised over the years I have never seen a goalie penalized for holding the ball for longer than six seconds. It’s in the rulebook but it’s a call officials don’t make. The punishment is so harsh, an indirect free kick from the spot of the infraction, which of course is always inside the 18-yard-box. Getting shafted once by the Norwegian official was bad enough but she compounded her error with another poor call. When a ball is kicked at a player and hit’s them in the hand the referee has to deem whether the player had sufficient time and distance to pull their hands away. In this case on the ensuing free kick the ball was blasted at the Canadian defender who had no time to get out of the away as it hit her hand and the ref placed the ball on the penalty spot, which led to the tying goal. I was apalled by the Americans lack of grace as post- game USA goalkeeper Hope Solo was asked about Sinclair’s performance. Instead of commending her she instead credited her goals on poor defending. Thus, managing to insult both Sinclair and her teammates. Perhaps the tackiest moment of the Olympics was after the USA defeated Japan for the gold medal they ran into their locker room and returned to the field wearing Nike t-shirts with the slogan ‘Greatness Has Been Found.’ The Twitter world erupted with comments like ‘no wonder nobody cheers for the USA’ and even major American media outlets like NBC had comments like ‘take those awful shirts off.’ Our Canadian girls could’ve took such a demoralizing loss as an excuse to fold in the bronze medal game, but hey showed tremen-dous courage to defeat France 1-0 for bronze. They were an inspiration to the entire country and spurred on the next generation of young girls playing soccer in Canada.

From Page 4Government has defended the
carbon tax vehemently for several years – and B.C. Liberal finance minister Keven Falcon constantly responds to calls to cut the tax by quoting the various additional ac-tions the government has taken to ensure the much-acclaimed “rev-enue neutrality” of its carbon tax, including income tax cuts.
But the taxpayers’ group in-sists income tax cuts only cover $228 million of the $1.2 billion the carbon tax rakes in every year, and repeats its contention that the average citizen can’t get other compensating tax breaks such as venture capital and industrial property credits, or research and experimental development grants.
I have to agree also that the tax has failed in its efforts to drive motorists to alternative green transport options that would result
in lowered overall gasoline sales. Sales of gasoline are up, up, up -- along with the costs.
Seniors on fixed income have to consider the tax an extreme and onerous burden and given Fal-con’s point of view we can be sure there’s no relief in sight.
There’s probably little left for the B.C. Liberals to gain by giving in to the demand – and the ques-tion will likely come down to the perception of a new government, NDP or Conservative.
In my experience there’s little chance that the Liberals will con-cede in this are as we approach the 2013 election. There is so much distraction in the political future – LNG, Northern Gateway and Kinder Morgan issues, health, education and jobs that this will simply join the HST under the carpet for the next few months.

North West has highest
unemploymentShaun Thomas
Northwest BC has the highest unemploy-ment rate in the prov-ince, according to stats released on August 10 by the Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and In-novation, and it is the only region in BC in double digits.
The unemploy-ment rate for the North Coast and Nechako re-gion, which covers just west of Vanderhoof to Haida Gwaii, was 11.9 per cent this July. That number was down slightly from the 12.2 per cent in June but is the third highest rate this year.
When compared to last July’s 7.7 per cent unemployment fi gure, the number is up 4.2 per cent. For the fi rst six months of 2012 the average unemploy-ment rate in the region was 11.9 per cent com-
pared to 8.2 per cent for the fi rst six months of 2011.
In terms of the number of people em-ployed, that fi gure has fallen from 44,300 last July to 38,400, a loss of 5,900 employed people in the north-west. So far this year the number of people employed in the region is down 7.9 per cent while provincially the fi gure has risen 1.9 per cent.
The next highest unemployment rate is in the Cariboo, which has an unemployment rate of 8.1 per cent, followed by the Koo-tenay region at 6.8 per cent. The lowest unemployment rate in the province was in the Northeast, with an unemployment rate of just 4.3 per cent, while the provincial number is 6.9 per cent.

I was delighted to see that council is pursuing the idea of using Section 226 of the Community Charter to create re-vitalisation zones that would give commer-cial property owners the opportunity to upgrade their prem-ises without being pe-nalised for doing so.
As any property owner well knows, upgrade your property and your assessed val-ue goes up.
Which means your tax bill, which is tied to your assessed value, goes up in lock step.
Invoking 226 gives the city the opportunity to give such property owners a “holiday” in as much as for whatev-er period of time coun-cil decides - usually fi ve years - the owner will pay taxes only on his pre-improvement assessed value until the expiry of that term.
In other words city tax revenue remains the same as before the improvement.
Back in 2005 the City of Quesnel used that device to secure a $100 million new West Fraser sawmill.
More recently Terrace has used it to encourage improve-ments in a section of its downtown core with some success.
In the case of Kiti-mat, better late than never.
But this, as I men-tioned in one of many editorials on the sub-ject, is only the carrot.
To achieve what I assume is council’s goal of repairing the image of the commu-nity, it also needs a stick - and that means having the intestinal fortitude to take action to remove hideous eye-
sores.Prime candidates
are, of the course, the rusted, boarded up di-saster on Enterprise Avenue and the one-time Shop Easy in the Nechako Centre.
In the case of the former, consider this: the owners of the Kiti-mat Hotel have spent Lord knows how many dollars to spruce their place up only to have their guests gaze out on an ugly hovel across the street.
Where is the logic in allowing that state of affairs to continue?
And don’t tell me it cannot be done.
Prince Rupert has been lowering the boom for at least three years and that included
nailing a busi-ness in its down-town area.
If, as I have asked before, they can do it, why can’t we?

Last time my column revolved
around Fritz Vahren-holt, regarded as one of the fathers of the envi-ronmental movement in Germany who walked the talk by founding one of Europe’s largest renewable energy com-panies.
And how he was now having second thoughts about the as-sertion that man was wholly responsible for global warming.
In response, a read-er kindly referred me to an article in the Los Angeles Times about a similar conversion but in the opposite direc-tion.
Richard A. Muller is professor of physics at Berkeley, MacArthur Fellow and co-founder
of the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature project.
He is described as “a long-standing, colourful critic of pre-vailing climate sci-ence.”
The article also notes the Berkeley proj-ect was heavily funded by the Charles Koch Charitable Foundation which has “a consider-able history of backing groups that deny cli-mate change.”
But Muller has done a complete turn-about, declaring, “Hu-mans are almost entire-ly the cause.”
Predictably, the be-lievers of the Church of Climate Change prepared the fatted calf to honour the prodigal son.
While the so-call sceptics heaped scorn on his conclusions.
All of which sug-gests to me that things are not as clear cut as some would have us believe.

Genesis 9:17, “God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant that I have established between me and all fl esh that is on the Earth.”
The Biblical account of Noah and the Ark is one of the most well known accounts in the world. But when most people think about Noah and the Ark, they focus on the furry animals marching two by two. What people don’t like to focus on is why God sent the fl ood in the 1st place. The question emerges, “Why would a loving God cause every living thing He had created to be destroyed?” This is the same question people ask when there are catastrophes or even when there is sickness and hardship in people’s lives. Well, the 1st thing we learn about God from Noah is this: “God’s holiness demands judgment.”
You see, God is 100% pure and holy, and as such, He cannot abide our sin. When He created the world He declared it “Very good”…perfect. But man in our pride re-belled against God’s perfect provisions for us, so that by
the time of Noah, we read “The Lord was sorry that He had made man upon the earth and it grieved Him to His heart.”
The fact that our sin breaks His heart is important, because it shows us that He is not mean and vengeful, but loving and compassionate. And so, the 2nd thing we learn from Noah is this: “When God’s holiness demands judgment, His love delivers grace.” And so God told Noah that He
would put His bow in the sky as a promise. So what is a bow? Well, a bow is a weapon, and
when we read the Bible, we see that God’s bow was drawn in Genesis, and the arrow was let fl y in the New Testament. That arrow is God’s Son Jesus Christ, who came to live a sinless life and give it freely on the cross as our sub-stitute…so that all who repent of their sin and believe on Him as their Savior will be forgiven and receive God’s free gift of eternal life. At the cross, God resolved the problem between His holiness that demands judgment, and His love that delivers grace. So, what kind of a God do you believe in? The truth is, if your God is not so holy and pure that your sin breaks His heart; then your God does not love you enough to send His Son to die for you. Jesus did not come to judge. He came so that, by believing in Him, when you stand before God one day you will not face the God of judgment, but rather the God of Grace. This is His gift of-fered freely to you and to me…amen.

The Northwest Fire Centre has responded to 18 fi res this week, all of which were caused by lightning.
The majority of these fi res are small in size, with very few of them larger than a hectare in size.
The largest fi re has reached a size of approxi-
mately 7.5 hectares and the smoke may be visible from Good Hope Lake.
A wildfi re burning near Copper River Road east of Terrace is currently being monitored. This fi re is burn-ing in steep, inaccessible terrain that would be too dangerous for fi refi ghters
to work in. The fi re will be continuously monitored and if it expands into a more ac-cessible area, crews then will actively work on the fi re. Smoke from this fi re will be visible to those travelling along Copper River Road.
The Northwest Fire Centre would like to thank
everyone who reported wild-fi res this week. Early report-ing is an important step in ensuring our success in ex-tinguishing fi res while they are still small.
We anticipate that other fi res have started as a result of the recent lightning, but have not been detected yet.
To report a wildfi re or unat-tended campfi re, please call *5555 on your cell phone or call 1-800-663-5555 toll-free.
For the latest informa-tion on fi re activity, condi-tions and prohibitions, visit our website www.bcwildfi re.ca.

Kitimat Public Market opening a successSean Glanville
Around 500 people dropped by the Kitimat Public Market during its trial opening Sunday. It was a major success as 35 vendors from across the North West sold their goods.
“We were thrilled with the turnout, it was so successful many of the vendors actually ran out of food,” said Kitimat Food-share and Community Services Coordinator Elizabeth Botz.
“It was a really carnival-like atmosphere and we had a number of people sitting on the grass eating their lunch. People were coming down in droves and we got a lot of the after-church crowd.”
Local dignitaries including Mayor Joanne Monaghan and Councilor Rob Goffi net were on hand for the event.
“I thought it went well, thanks to the organizers and hopefully this can continue. It’s a great addition to Kitimat,” said Monaghan.
The public market is scheduled for every second Sunday from 11am – 3pm at Mountainview Square. The offi cial grand opening event will be held at the next public market in two weeks. They hope to run this summer and fall up until Sunday, October 7 weather permitting. Next year they hope to open some time in April as insurance and liability is-sues caused them to delay the open-ing this year until Sunday.
There have been farmers mar-kets in Kitimat in the past unable to be sustained primarily due to be-ing entirely volunteer-based. With the current public market there are a number of organizations involved and funding from the community to
help ensure long-term success.“In the past the public market
was completely volunteer-based and this time with the Kitimat Commu-nity Services (KCS) and food-share programs the organization aspect is much easier since it’s not all volun-teer,” said Botz.
The KCS is working with the District of Kitimat on the foodshare program, public market, and are in the organizational stages of build-ing a community garden.
“This three step strategy is all part of our goal to help end poverty in Kitimat,” said Botz.
“When we presented to Coun-cil they gave us their full support to work with their planners.”
Botz mentioned she hopes the new community garden will also be located near Mountainview Square with its ideal location.
“We like the idea of having it at Mountainview Square as it’s so central and near the hospital so we could have some raised garden beds for the patients to enjoy.”
Some of the vendors included Happy Pick Organic Farm from Smithers, Vegan Fibres of Terrace, Missy-Lou Handbags and Accesso-ries, Woolcraft and Jewelry, Adrian Glass, as well as plenty of canned and homemade goods.
There were also plenty of activ-ities on hand for youth including a bouncy castle and a table set up for painting ceramics.
Organizers also mentioned they had numerous requests for East Indian food at the market and wel-come any potential vendors. They are always looking for fresh fruit and vegetables regionally grown.
