Northwest not immune to skills gapCameron Orr
A council of six universities are warning that by 2016 the province won’t be able to supply enough workers to � ll in huge growth in demand.
The Research Universities’ Council of BC (RUCBC) say that based on the province govern-ment’s own numbers and other statistics, by 2020 18,800 jobs will go un� lled in B.C., because of the lack of necessary education and training.
The president of the University of Northern B.C., a member of the university council, said in the north we’re already entering into skills short-ages.
“For many of us, for example in Kitimat and other very active fronts, this has already arrived,” said President George Iwama.
He said a problem facing college and uni-versity campuses everywhere is that the grade 12 graduation rate is declining. Additionally, many people are choosing to move to urban areas rather than staying rural.
“When you combine the two [factors] for Northern B.C., our enrolments are declining,” he said.
By 2020, out of the 18,800 jobs needed, 8,400 will be those requiring a university degree, 8,100 a college credential and 2,300 need trades train-ing. The year 2016 will be what Iwama calls the “tipping point” where jobs start to outnumber available workers.
Iwama said the skills de� cit will be exacer-bated in the north because of numbers in the BC Labour Market Outlook which anticipates that two of the top three regions with the fastest rate of employment growth will be in the north.
The university council, in response to the skills shortage, put together an Opportunity Agen-da for BC, which boils down to three goals.
First, is to have a space for every quali� ed student, and add 11,000 student spaces in univer-sities, colleges and trades training over the next four years.
Second, have a guarantee for students in need, by investing in more grants and scholarships, and making improvements to student loans.
Finally, they want a commitment to “innova-tion and jobs by establishing an Innovate BC ini-tiative.” That would bring together government, business and post-secondary institutions together to drive economic growth, they say.
Iwama said the Opportunities Agenda is in a way related to a recently completed Regional Training Plan, which was assembled by the Northwest Workforce Table.

More details on lodge conceptPurchase agreements are in place but
con� dentiality restrictions forbid vice president Sean Crockett from giving the speci� cs on the land they’re seeking for their lodge.
The Sentinel reached Crockett fol-lowing the PTI Group’s open house at the Rod and Gun Club where they present-ed their plan for a workforce ‘lodge’ to house the numerous workers anticipated to arrive in Kitimat over the next several years.
“We’re collaborating with the town administration on zoning amendments,” said Crockett. “We’ve committed to these kinds of consultations like we did...and as our application for zoning is � nalized and put through the system there will be more consultation on the speci� cs.”
He said that PTI Group is not cur-rently working with any particular propo-nent - so this isn’t a camp designed for places speci� cally like Shell’s proposal or Kitimat LNG - but that they’ll work
with multiple clients seeking housing.“We’re building for the market so
that makes it very speculative in nature in the sense that we’re building just for anticipated overall demand and shortages of rooms,” he said.
He added, “We’re contracting to mul-tiple clients. Either the site operators and developers themselves for the major proj-ects or the individual contractors that are left to � nd their own accommodation.”
Ensuring a bene� t to the town of Kitimat is an important part of the dis-cussion, he said, as conversations with the town have focused on that in light of concerns other area work camps haven’t added much to Kitimat’s economy and downtown revitalization.
“We could have tried to � nd a very remote site or be a part of the commu-nity,” he said. “Our approach was to be a part of the community.”
He said at their open house they an-ticipate being within � ve minutes from
the City Centre.“Now you have an active client base
with easy access to the downtown core that could drive shopping for everything from clothing to other goods. They might seek out restaurants, food and other im-pact in the downtown area,” he said. “And also there’s folks who don’t go home when they’re not working, they stay in town and take advantage of tourism op-portunities in the region.”
Accessing the community’s existing recreational facilities is another part of the conversation. While their lodges do often include amenities such as gyms, PTI Group will be � guring out how to best incorporate into the community, be-ing that they’ll be near Kitimat’s swim-ming pool and Tamitik sports complex.
As for the eventual wrap up, he said their modular units are designed for a 25 year lifespan and it’s still to be deter-mined whether they will be removed or if there’s potential for other uses.
Out of the top 100, Enbridge made 79th in a list clean capitalists.
They took an overall score of 47.13 per cent in the list published by Corporate Knights, who are a research and media company “focused on quanti-fying and animat-ing clean capitalism drivers for deci-sion makers,” their ‘About Us’ page says.
Clean capital-ism, as de� ned by them, is “an eco-nomic system in which prices in-corporate social, economic and eco-logical bene� ts and costs, and actors know the full im-pacts of their mar-ketplace actions.”
Enbridge makes list
Kitimat Council and staff held a lunch meeting with board members of the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine. The two bodies occasionally meet but it had been awhile when they got together on Saturday, January 26. Mayor Joanne Monaghan said it was essentially an orientation meeting for the two sides to get to know each other, and the regional district representatives also took advantage of being in town to tour MK Bay Marina.
Marine Rescue Society eyes new enclosed boat
The Kitimat Marine Rescue Society (KMRS) is on their way to reaching a fundraising goal for a new rescue boat.
Volunteers with KMRS have so far reached $380,000 in their quest to reach $600,000 for a new, enclosed vessel. That $380,000 includes a pos-sible contribution by Kitimat Council. The request for funds was forwarded to their � nal budget deliberations set for next week.
The project director for the fundraising project, Duncan Peacock, said their existing rescue boat has been in service now for 11 years.
“Our current project is to replace the open vessel we’re currently run-ning with a fully enclosed new vessel,” he said. The new boat would also add 10 feet, making it a 36 foot vessel.
Replacing their boat with an enclosed one will mean the crew and poten-tial casualties will be better protected during missions.
Peacock said it’s dif� cult to bring back an injured or hypothermic pa-tient back to land in cold weather.
“We’re all dressed for it with the vests we can wear as a crew, and even for us conditions are quite severe at times,” he said.
The longest mission to date for them, he said, was 14 hours.As they cover the entire channel up to the inside passage, he said they
could be 90 miles out from their home base.“Depending on the weather conditions, you could be two, three hours
away from getting back to home base.”He said they are called out approximately 14
times a year.A lot of their calls are split between people
who are overdue for their return and with people who have broken down, a lot of times from col-liding with a log or rock which is hidden under the water.
They’ve also been noticing a lot of calls late-ly from people who are not local to Kitimat.
“Over the past couple of years we’ve been getting a lot of calls from people who are visitors to the community,” adding that many are from Al-berta. He doesn’t say that to look down on those from Alberta, but to highlight the dangers for people not accustomed to the area.
“This is still a remote area,” he said, with thousands of miles of shoreline before another community.
Even VHF radio, which he said is really the only way to call out for help, can be spotty with the channel’s mountainous terrain.
Meanwhile the group is always looking for volunteers and Peacock said people can call him at home with questions about the group, at 250-632-4195.
With fundraising for their new vessel going on for about a year and a half now, they’re hoping their on their way to meeting their goal.
“[The boat’s] for the community. It’s a big investment for the safety of the community,” he
Continued from page 1That document set
out a number of rec-ommendations to get people trained for up-coming opportunities and pushed for more training opportunities.
“That underscores a very important aspect of what the research universities are trying to say; that companies are telling us ‘yes, we need equipment op-erators, we need the welders, we need the plumbers, but we also need people with uni-versity training.’,” said Iwama.

Another earthquake hit the north paci� c last week. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, a magnitude 6.0 earthquake struck 100 kilome-tres west of Craig, Alaska, and 316 kilometres west-northwest of Prince Rupert.
The quake hit at 12:53 a.m. on Jan. 31 at a depth of 9.7 kilometres.
This earthquake follows others over the past three months. On Janu-ary 5 Kitimat felt a 7.5 quake centred near Alaska, and October 27 had a 7.7 by Haida Gwai.
No more penny for your thoughts. Now it’ll be a nickel for your thoughts.

The province is sending up a cabinet minister to speak with northwestern communities about how they can bene� t from potential lique� ed natural gas (LNG) facili-ties in the region.
As many as � ve natural gas pipeline construction or expansion projects and an accompanying num-ber of LNG plants at both Kitimat and Prince Rupert are in the works
carrying a price tag in the tens of billions of dollars.
“We are committed to work-ing with the local municipalities to ensure they are prepared for this growth and have a say in how the bene� ts are realized,” said Premier Christy Clark last week in announc-ing that community development minister Bill Bennett was headed north.

There’s a very distinct sepa-ration between what Canadians think about the wise use of tax-payer money and what the peo-ple actually holding the purse strings believe.
I was hard pressed scanning the stories and commentary to � nd any public support what-soever for the expenditure of $1.6-million to transport Prime Minister’s two bullet-proof armoured cars to India for his nine-day visit there last November when Harper vis-ited Agra, New Delhi, Chandigarh and Bangalore.
Typically, it took months to get a response to an NDP freedom of infor-mation request and to elicit the infor-mation that it cost $1,030,092 for the operating costs of the C-17 Globe-master used to transport the vehicles to India and back. Personnel costs were another $31,356, for a total of $1,061,448. Using Canadian govern-ment aircraft to ship the armoured cars saved at least $460,000, according to a response from the RCMP. The com-mercial cost would have been as much as $2 million.
Now I suspect an enquiry from the right high pro� le customer of Toyota or any any other major offshore luxury
auto maker (even Mercedes Benz, Bu-gatti, Lamborghini, Ferrari or Rolls Royce) would get that customer in North America a new luxury auto “air-lifted” for a heck of a lot less than $1.6 million. The RCMP, which of course demanded tax payers ship the PM’s armoured cars to India “for his security and protection” insist using a government plane saved us $460,000 (whoop-de-do!)
Frankly, I don’t believe it. No doubt that was the bill, but it had to be grossly in� ated.
That’s just one side - I would have expected Steven Harper’s to demur when his staff couldn’t be assured the Indian government would be able to provide a suitable armoured car local-ly (or borrowed from some neighbour-ing Middle East super-rich sheik.)
Steven Harper, that able econo-mist, and his amiable Minister of
Finance, Jim Flaherty, the self-appointed budget scalper, who won’t let you borrow an extra � ve per cent on your home mort-gage, for the good of the country, clearly had nothing to say about this “drop in the bucket expense.” However, when you consider there was no problem either, with paying the way of some of
Canada’s biggest corporate CEOs on the recent trade mission to China, what are we talking about! Govern-ment waste and hypocrisy go hand in hand.
I return to my oft-repeated submis-sion - stop using these smarmy polite “honourable member” salutations in the House. It is just hypocrisy. There’s little order in the Commons and - at least at question period - very little honour, cooperation or truth. Just spin.
.....I like it when I see good things
happening for good people in Kitimat. Sometimes, when it happens it can make you just a little jealous, but not in a bad way. That’s how I felt when I heard that Kitimat school counsellor Kathleen Cherry has just succeeded in having her � rst children’s book pub-lished.

The world of tomorrow
Allow me to back up a second
HD Mining announced a few of weeks back that they’re sending home the Chinese miners brought in to work in their coal mine project.
The decision came after a � re storm of controver-sy and court battles from the unions, saying the Chi-nese workers were paid lower wages and prohibited quali� ed Canadians from getting the jobs.
It’s a timely situation as the Research Univer-sities’ Council of BC are warning of an imminent skilled worker shortage by 2016, continuing to the end of the decade.
Skilled worker shortages aren’t a foreign concept to Kitimat. Last fall, Rio Tinto Alcan was in active re-cruitment mode to hold off a anticipated skilled work-er shortage.
Not everyone is convinced there is a skilled work-er shortage, as you would have read in this paper when all this was happening last year.
The BC Labour Market Outlook 2019-2020 may not disagree, saying there will be an over-supply of workers up to 2015. It’s 2016 when suddenly there won’t be enough to � ll the jobs.
So regardless of whatever is eventually � gured out or decided for HD Mining’s current situation, it’s something that will be a very real situation for a lot of places in the coming years.
In that same Labour Market Outlook document, they say that 1/3 of the decade’s new job openings — estimated at about 1,027,000 — will be � lled by inter-national or inter-provincial in-migration workers.
So to help � ll the worker gap universities are seek-ing more resources to create student spaces and open up opportunities for prospective students who may otherwise have trouble affording education.
The writing is on the wall that there needs to be government action, from all levels.
More locally the Regional Workforce Table just � nished their Skills Training Plan. Compiled through the input of numerous groups - including UNBC, which is also on the university research council as well - it sets out a number of recommendations to get people into training programs.
A quick, signi� cant infusion of resources into post-secondary education seems to be in order. Money is � nding its way into places like the Northwest Com-munity College for things like trades programs, but a real plan still needs to be adopted that will address a shortage of over 18,000 skilled workers by 2020.

In a case of mis-hearing words and maybe hearing what I wanted to hear, the PTI Group lodge actually isn’t being designed with a line of sight to the channel.
They’ll be developing with a mind to preserve the line of sight we already enjoy, but in the sense of be-ing aesthetically pleasing. So in short, the camp itself isn’t waterfront.
I’m happy to correct myself on this matter.

Continued from page 4I’ve known Kathleen for many
more years than she or I might want to think about - so it came as good news that her book, titled Blowing Bubbles, has just been published by Aaspirations Publishing, a small-press book publisher in Ontario. It’s a story is about a young boy and his grandfather and the changes that take place in their relationship after the grandfather becomes ill. It will soon be available at Canadian book-retailers including Misty Riv-er Books in Terrace. (Plug! - sorry,
editor.)The mixed feelings part is that
Kathleen has done what I wanted, even planned, to do when I retired, but after several attempts, most sadly uncompleted, my book(s) are still floating around a couple of computers (Even two dead ones. Thank goodness for portable hard drives!) Can I claim I was just too busy?
It’s harder than it seems, be-lieve me, so congrats to Kathleen, and many happy returns, eh?

Kitimat Library plans a trial run of Sunday operating hours
Kitimat residents will have their shot in help-ing decide the Kitimat Public Library’s hours.
That’s because the library board has approved a survey and test run for Sunday openings.
The library has been without Sunday hours for some time but patrons have been suggesting that Sunday hours would be desireable.
To get a better sense of the demand, the li-brary is conducting a short, one question survey, which seeks to gauge interest.
But desire and practicality are two different things. That’s why the library will actually be open on Sundays for 10 weeks.
At the end of that period the board will con-sider whether it was a success or not and proceed from there.
If it does prove successful, it’s not yet known whether the board would pursue funding for Sun-days or wait until the start of the next budget year.
Regardless, the library’s executive director is excited , and curious, to see the results of the sur-vey and trial openings.
Virginia Charron said that while she person-ally would love to see it re-open for those days, it’s really up to the public to decide that.
To answer the survey question, you can call the library at 250-632-8985, or e-mail [email protected].
The trial Sunday openings start on February 24 and run to May 12, with hours from noon to 4 p.m.

A Canadian ballet twistThe Kitimat Concert Association
presents Ballet Jorgen’s “Swan Lake” at Mount Elizabeth Theatre on Sunday, February 10 at 7:00 pm.
In celebration of Ballet Jorgen Canada’s 25th anniversary season, artistic director and CEO Bengt Jor-gen has re-envisioned the classical and dramatic Swan Lake, adding a hint of Canadian heritage. While this major new production of Swan Lake showcases the extraordinary beauty of traditional ballet in its purest form, Jorgen re-imagines it in the pictur-esque seascape of the Fortress of Lou-isbourg, Nova Scotia.
The elaborate sets are designed by Camellia Koo, reflecting the beau-ty of Canada’s national heritage park and providing a dramatic backdrop to Robert Doyle’s 17th century costume designs. Doyle worked on the original
restoration project of the Fortress of Louisbourg.
Ballet Jorgen is committed to not only recreate ballet classics in a way that is respectful of tradition, but also in a way that is engaging for their modern audience. They engage in a dialogue about Canada and reflect Ca-nadian identity in their work.
“I am so excited to do this work and be able to do it with the kind of incredible dancers that we have,” said Bengt Jorgen. “Swan Lake has an evocative and inspiring quality that makes it a pleasure and beauty to work on, and I’m excited about transferring that feeling to the people watching it.”

Search and rescue keep sharpSubmitted
Kitimat Search and Rescue (KSAR) volun-teers gathered on January 26 for training exercises in Terrace.
At the White River Helicopters base, the training provided hands on experience for volun-teers to learn and practice the basics of helicopter safety.
Training focused on hover exits out of a he-licopter, communications, and patient packaging and loading.
White River Helicopters Owner Sid Peltier and pilot Andy Ram-say donated their entire day off, and helicopter time, to the cause. The professional training provided that day to KSAR members is an invaluable service that allows the members to be as prepared as pos-sible for scenarios re-quiring air support in our area.
Kitimat Search and Rescue is a not-for-profit organization, which utilizes volun-teers, to locate indi-viduals, who are lost or injured, on land and inland waters. Much of the training for KSAR is paid for by fundrais-ing efforts and dona-tions from the com-munity.
KSAR will ac-tually be hosting a fundraising dance,
“Cupid’s Ball”, on February 9 to raise funds for continued training like that experienced this past weekend. Tickets can be purchased through KSAR volunteers and at Pyramid Printers in ad-vance only.
Fog forced KSAR to close down an earlier planned training exercise on January 19 on the grounds of Minette Bay Lodge.
A White River Helicopters aircraft was meant to leave from Terrace to the grounds, where Lodge owner Ruth Mills had kept volunteers fed as they waited, but weather kept things grounded.
There’s no mistaking the importance of Kitimat, B.C., to the Gateway project. It’s where the pipeline ends, and it’s where marine operations begin.
I’d like to set the record straight on why we chose Kitimat, at the head of the Douglas Channel, as the site for Gateway’s marine terminal. The answer took thousands of hours of research, planning, engineering, environmental science, oceanography consultation, weather monitoring, and simulation. But the simple reason is . . . safety, all the way.
The Douglas Channel is one of the widest and deepest inland waterways on North America’s west coast. Government research had already determined Kitimat to be among the safest ports in B.C., and about 1,500 tankers carrying petrochemicals have docked safely at Kitimat over the past quarter-century.
Strategically speaking, Kitimat provides the lowest environmental risk for all aspects of Gateway operations. It offers a safer endpoint for the pipeline route, from a geotechnical perspective. The marine terminal at Kitimat also provides safe approaches for tanker traffi c — with a suitable turning basin in Kitimat Arm, and natural deep-water berths that are sheltered from open-water wave conditions.
At its very narrowest, the Douglas Channel is 1.4 kilometres wide — three times wider than Transport Canada’s recommended width for two-way tanker traffi c. Water depths in the marine channels are up to several hundred metres.
As an added measure, full simulations of vessel traffi c in the Douglas Channel were carried out at a world-leading facility in Denmark. It tested the largest proposed vessels in environmental conditions that tankers would experience in the marine channels. The result was a thumbs-up on the shipping route, endorsed by both government departments and the British Columbia Coast Pilots.
Why Kitimat? Why the Douglas Channel? It’s the safe option for Gateway.

Celebrate BC’s � rst Family Day Monday Feb 11
Eat together■ Family Day is the ideal time to bring your family ‘back to the table’. Given the increasingly busy sched-ule of every member of the family, eating together has been a casualty of our hectic days. Whether you’re together in your home, on a mini-vaca-tion or enjoying a local restaurant, there are numerous benefi ts to eating together. Sharing a table means sharing your day, sharing your undivided attention and sharing conversation. It is a chance to give extra attention to your children and teens. Family meals foster warmth, security and love, as well as a sense of belonging. The way that you act at the table becomes a model for your children. They learn from your appreciation of the meal and your social skills - especially when outside the home. Table manners are social skills and lead-ing by example makes it easier for parents to teach without lecturing. Using family meals as a way to sample new menus can be both fun and a great learning experience. By giving family members input and the opportunity to choose the menu, it becomes an ideal way to expand their horizons on a wider range of foods and cultures. It also can lead to healthier choices as well as developing an open mind for experiencing new things. A way to get more out of a family meal is to engage the family in menu selection, shopping and prepara-tion. You can begin this at a very young age giving children age-appropriate tasks like stirring ingredients, washing vegetables, tearing lettuce and setting the table. As your children grow they can take on more key responsibilities and the pride that comes with preparing a special family meal. This teaches your children cooking skills, nutrition and appreciation for
the effort of meal preparation. It can also provide a great source of accomplishment and sense of
self-suffi ciency. Plan to make your Family Day special by in-
cluding all those who make up your family. Pay tribute by making your meal special
and so memorable you’ll want to ensure you do it more often.
■ There is no better province to explore than British Columbia and no better family bonding experience than sharing the thrill of a new discovery or experience. Day trips can create remarkable family memories. They offer a wonderful way to spend time together and learn more about where you live. The variety of experiences available to families is dif-ferent in each region of this spectacular province - you might decide to explore close to home or venture to one of the other regions in B.C. over the Family Day weekend. Whether taking SkyTrain, BC Ferries, driving, or hopping a fl ight, there are many ways to invest in a day of discov-ery. Travel is just one aspect. To maximize the experi-ence families should involve everyone in the planning. By planning ahead you and your whole family can experience a worthwhile outing and make every aspect fun. Create a list of activities or venues and assign a rough budget for each. Allow family members to weigh in on their preferences and discuss what they would like to see, do or learn at each. You might decide to stay in a hotel and be a tourist in your own hometown. Kids or youth can map out the sites and activities, creating a family agenda including select-ing the points of interest,
lunch and shopping as well as enjoying the amenities your hotel might offer. It’s the perfect way to free up everyone from everyday tasks and roles. Researching history, attractions, museums, parks and markets can teach valuable lessons and it helps children to plan within a budget. This way they are part of mak-ing important decisions, appreciate both the effort and cost of outings and will be more enthused about an agenda they helped develop. Be sure to capture your family time by taking photos, saving literature or purchasing a memento. This can lead to great family discussions about what each indi-vidual enjoyed or learned and starts you plan-ning for future family explorations.

Share togethern Bringing together your extended family can create a highly memorable and valuable life event. They say “it takes a village to raise a child” and many would agree especially in today’s world of working parents and latch-key kids. The support, experience and interest of your extended family can have a significant impact on your immediate family. Regardless of your definition of ‘extended’ family, bringing together those with whom you share history with can have lasting benefits not just for you and your children but for those you invite to share your day.It is common in today’s world to have older chil-dren in nuclear families reach their teens before meet-ing extended family members. Geographical isolation is common for middle-class families who move based on occupational opportunities while family branches retain their independence.Family Day is the ideal occasion to hold family reunions to re-establish and integrate a stronger family connection. This allows your children to connect with extended family members and to share a better sense of their heritage and belonging. Don’t forget to include senior members of your family. Family reunions and relation-ships inspire seniors to stay active and pursue their well-being. Studies have found seniors feel revitalized when they spend time with families. Your children will benefit from hearing their oral history and that’s an inspiring experience that won’t always be available to them. Another way to celebrate Family Day is to gather your extended family and friends around something you care about. It might be a shore clean-up, a family walk or a garage sale. You might volunteer at a foodbank. Food is often central to gatherings and with everyone contributing to a family meal afterwards, it becomes a great way to share B.C.’s first Family Day.
Create togethern One of my favourite memories was creating an enormous piñata in prepa-ration for a multi-family holiday. We blew up a huge bouncy ball and covered it with papier mache. Our children and those of our friends were young so after my young sons painted the ball white, I drew a score of cartoon characters, shapes and funny animals all around it. Filled with age-ap-propriate, small toys, puzzles and treats, the big white ball became a major activity for every-one in our three-family group. Every age took turns colouring in the shapes through-out the day, knowing when it was completed the ball would be strung up. The anticipation and excite-ment was heightened because the reward came with activity and was not immediate. Creating something as a family can mark an important time in your family history. It captures the age and ability of your children, your interests and a point in time. By working together on a project your family can develop new skills, collabo-rate on something truly memorable and enjoy what each family member brings to the endeavor. Think about all the things a family
could create together – a family album complete with stories, mementos and funny or poignant memories. Your family might be old enough to handle something more ambitious like prepar-ing a garden, building a dog house or designing and painting a family recre-ation area in your home. Technology puts an amazing array of
tools in the hands of today’s families. You can plan, write, film and edit a movie with your everyday computer and smartphone technol-ogy and software. Even more fun is sharing your family creation with friends around the world.You might even suggest a film festival by inviting families to create their own film and have a “popcorn premiere” to show them all.
Searching online will uncover an astounding number of crafts and projects you could tackle as a family. It can be as simple as building and flying a kite. Or you may look for something you can recycle or re-purpose into a creative new item – whether a work of art or function. It’s bound to make your family members proud environment stewards as well as treasuring your time and project as a family.
Family Day 2013
n There is nothing like the fun and innocence of childhood. Whether it’s a game of kick-the-can with the neighbourhood children or building a tree fort in the backyard, some of our best memo-ries are playful.Board games are a great indoor activity, and Fam-ily Day is a great time to dig out some of your old favourites like Monopoly and Clue, and maybe try out a few new ones that are geared towards family fun. Your local toy store will have a wide range of options, along with other family-friendly entertain-
ment such as puzzles and books. Set up a
card table, get your
favourite puzzle out and spend hours putting together the pieces. Finishing a complicated puzzle will also give your kids a sense of accomplishment.
If you’re looking for something a bit more high-tech, your game console or computer is a good place to start. Video games have come a long way from the classic Super Mario and Donkey Kong, and you may
discover that your kids have a much larger technical knowledge than you do. They might beat you at Wii Sports but it will make for a great story!Getting outside for a game of tag or basketball will check off two things on your list: play and exercise. Taking a trip to a local playground or field will give you hours of entertainment for a low cost. Pack a picnic as well for an entire day of fun. Practicing your bat-ting or pitching will also get you ready for the upcoming sports seasons, or maybe compete to see who can run the fastest to the swings.This year, Family Day is a time to make
memories, spend time together and maybe learn a thing or two. What-ever the weather is like outside, you have plenty of options for having fun at all ages.
n Try something new this Family Day. It might be as simple as agreeing that everyone observe a no-technology or TV day. If you find your gatherings often involve all the adults sitting around visit-ing while the youngsters play among themselves and the teens segregate away from both you and the little ones, you’re probably not alone. A family gathering can be a wonderful opportunity for family to hear the latest on jobs, trips, hobbies and health, but if you find your gatherings following the same tedious patterns where one or two family members dominate with the same old stories, this is the year to change it up. Consider adding new experiences to the plans, and making a new and fun tradi-tion out of them. Here are some ideas to get started:
Get out and enjoy our beautiful out-doors – no matter what your weather. If you live in a snowy region of B.C., orga-nize a hayride, snowshoe trek, sledding time or ice skating at a community rink. If you don’t have snow in your area, you can travel to find it or consider planning a bike ride, a hike or even hitting a mini-golf course or a driving range. The idea is to bring everyone together in a family activity you’ve never done before.
Plan a meal away from the house – Instead of cooking for the gathering, plan a formal brunch or dinner at a new
restaurant. Not only do you experience a new menu together but everyone in your group can sit together and enjoy the meal. B.C. has a widely diverse cultural make up and ethnic restaurants are part of that.
Make your Family Day gathering a retreat for all – consider getting your family out of the house and turn your gathering into a festive retreat. Many venues have activities for all ages to en-joy, from winter outdoor fun to refresh-ing spa services. Think of how much fun it would be for your whole family group to take a yoga class together.
Host a family talent show – Everyone has a special talent in your family, so encourage them to bring their tal-ent to your gathering. If you’re really ambitious set up an area to be used as a stage and arrange chairs for audi-ence members. Many living rooms have dimmer switches so play with lighting and lamps so the performance area is in the spotlight. You might want to rent a popcorn machine or ask family members to bring along some treats and snacks. By bringing new activities to your family gathering this year, you’ll be creating many new memories to share in the future, as well as making the event much more enjoyable.
Family Day 2013Experience as a Family
Play together n If you ask any adult about some of their favourite memories of childhood, you will invariably hear something related to food. Whether it’s baking with Grandma or grilling hamburgers for a cookout with Dad, cooking is always an important part of growing up.Family Day is a great time to dig out
those family cookbooks and try a recipe handed down by the older generation. Your mom’s famous meatloaf or your uncle’s recipe for spinach
dip are great things to try with family members of
all ages.Maybe you’re looking to make some-thing you’ve never made before, or perhaps you want to try out a new cuisine. Hitting the library or the web will give you ideas for new recipes, whether it’s trying to duplicate your favourite takeout pizza or make an authentic spicy Indian dish. Let each member of the family choose a recipe that they want to try, whether it’s for breakfast, lunch, dinner or a snack. That way everyone gets involved and has their say in what the family eats. Maybe you’ll find a new favourite food or discover that your child is aiming to become the next Mario Batali or Julia Child.Your local grocery store is sure to have a wide selection of ingredients that you may never have tasted be-fore. Wandering the aisles may even spark your imagination.Learning about what goes into a dish will set your family on the road to healthy eating. Taking a few minutes to read the labels on a food item will demonstrate how to make healthy choices and help your children in the future. Finding healthy alternatives to not-so-healthy foods can be a fun experiment, and may end up being tastier than the original food. Many stores will have sections devoted to healthier options, whether they’re gluten-free or just lower in calories.
n Having a day off from school doesn’t mean learn-ing stops for the day. There are plenty of educational things you can do in Brit-ish Columbia, whether in your own home or outside.How about starting with a trip to your local library? It will hold plenty of books on any topic that you can imagine. Maybe a book of science experiments or a historical novel set in the early days of Canada will stoke your imagination. Let the kids each pick out a book to take home with them and start a lifetime love of reading. Your local bookstore will also hold a variety of options if your child can’t bear to part with his or her new favourite book.A local historical attraction is also a great place to pay a visit. Whether it’s China-town or Steveston fishing village, there is a ton of history right in your own back-yard. Most places will have a museum or heritage building around that can serve as a jumping-off point for learning more about the city where you live.Learning can be more than just reading though. Pull out the laptop and get your kids to type out an email to a family member or friend outside of B.C. Perhaps they can even tell the person about what they learned at the museum or library!Keeping a journal is also a great way to practice writing and literacy skills. Even if it’s not a daily occurrence, sitting down in the evening to write about the events of the day or week can get kids thinking and practicing their handwriting.
Family Day 2013
Learn togetherCook together
n Family Day is a great opportunity to get in a little exercise. The cold, wet weather usually keeps us inside and might seem better suited to a day on the couch, but there are tons of places to get active that will keep you and your family out of the cold.Try taking the kids to a bowling alley for a few games. Many offer both 10-pin and five-pin options, and the loud clat-ter of falling pins will excite even the smallest bowlers. Or maybe swimming is more your speed. Getting in a few laps or even just bouncing around the shallow end is a great cardiovascular workout that the whole family can take part in. When you want something a bit more structured, check out your local parks and recreation centre. Many offer programs for children of all ages, from basketball games to indoor skating lessons.If the weather is nice, there is noth-ing better than hitting one of the local mountains. Cypress, Grouse and Seymour are all close by, or you can take a bit of a road trip up to Whistler/Blackcomb. All of the mountains offer skiing or snowboarding lessons to people of all skill levels, and everyone can enjoy a hot chocolate at the end of a great day on the slopes. If skiing and snowboarding aren’t quite your cup of tea, snowshoeing or cross-country ski-ing can be found as well.Getting active together can be as simple as going for a bike ride. Whether you
want to trek to Vancouver’s SeaWall or pay a visit to your local trails, cycling is a great way to spend time together, see the local wildlife or burn off some energy.A round of mini-golf can be incredibly entertaining, especially if none of you are going to be the next Rory McIlroy. There are both indoor and outdoor op-tions in Metro Vancouver, so find your nearest course and get ready for some great family friendly fun.When it’s a bit of friendly competition that you’re looking for, paintball is the answer. Whether you want to team up together against another family or play every man for himself, laughter is sure to ensue. Shooting Dad in the leg with a bright blue paint ball or chasing your big sister around a course will make for some great memories.We are all spoiled by living in British Columbia with all of its gorgeous scenery and athletic opportunities, so gather the kids this Family Day, bring your sense of adventure and get ready to see why so many people love beautiful, natural B.C. Who knows, you may find a new sport to love or instill an addiction to outdoor activity!

restaurant. Not only do you experience a new menu together but everyone in your group can sit together and enjoy the meal. B.C. has a widely diverse cultural make up and ethnic restaurants are part of that.
Make your Family Day gathering a retreat for all – consider getting your family out of the house and turn your gathering into a festive retreat. Many venues have activities for all ages to en-joy, from winter outdoor fun to refresh-ing spa services. Think of how much fun it would be for your whole family group to take a yoga class together.
Host a family talent show – Everyone has a special talent in your family, so encourage them to bring their tal-ent to your gathering. If you’re really ambitious set up an area to be used as a stage and arrange chairs for audi-ence members. Many living rooms have dimmer switches so play with lighting and lamps so the performance area is in the spotlight. You might want to rent a popcorn machine or ask family members to bring along some treats and snacks. By bringing new activities to your family gathering this year, you’ll be creating many new memories to share in the future, as well as making the event much more enjoyable.
Family Day 2013Experience as a Family
Play together n If you ask any adult about some of their favourite memories of childhood, you will invariably hear something related to food. Whether it’s baking with Grandma or grilling hamburgers for a cookout with Dad, cooking is always an important part of growing up.Family Day is a great time to dig out
those family cookbooks and try a recipe handed down by the older generation. Your mom’s famous meatloaf or your uncle’s recipe for spinach
dip are great things to try with family members of
all ages.Maybe you’re looking to make some-thing you’ve never made before, or perhaps you want to try out a new cuisine. Hitting the library or the web will give you ideas for new recipes, whether it’s trying to duplicate your favourite takeout pizza or make an authentic spicy Indian dish. Let each member of the family choose a recipe that they want to try, whether it’s for breakfast, lunch, dinner or a snack. That way everyone gets involved and has their say in what the family eats. Maybe you’ll find a new favourite food or discover that your child is aiming to become the next Mario Batali or Julia Child.Your local grocery store is sure to have a wide selection of ingredients that you may never have tasted be-fore. Wandering the aisles may even spark your imagination.Learning about what goes into a dish will set your family on the road to healthy eating. Taking a few minutes to read the labels on a food item will demonstrate how to make healthy choices and help your children in the future. Finding healthy alternatives to not-so-healthy foods can be a fun experiment, and may end up being tastier than the original food. Many stores will have sections devoted to healthier options, whether they’re gluten-free or just lower in calories.
n Having a day off from school doesn’t mean learn-ing stops for the day. There are plenty of educational things you can do in Brit-ish Columbia, whether in your own home or outside.How about starting with a trip to your local library? It will hold plenty of books on any topic that you can imagine. Maybe a book of science experiments or a historical novel set in the early days of Canada will stoke your imagination. Let the kids each pick out a book to take home with them and start a lifetime love of reading. Your local bookstore will also hold a variety of options if your child can’t bear to part with his or her new favourite book.A local historical attraction is also a great place to pay a visit. Whether it’s China-town or Steveston fishing village, there is a ton of history right in your own back-yard. Most places will have a museum or heritage building around that can serve as a jumping-off point for learning more about the city where you live.Learning can be more than just reading though. Pull out the laptop and get your kids to type out an email to a family member or friend outside of B.C. Perhaps they can even tell the person about what they learned at the museum or library!Keeping a journal is also a great way to practice writing and literacy skills. Even if it’s not a daily occurrence, sitting down in the evening to write about the events of the day or week can get kids thinking and practicing their handwriting.
Family Day 2013
Learn togetherCook together
n Family Day is a great opportunity to get in a little exercise. The cold, wet weather usually keeps us inside and might seem better suited to a day on the couch, but there are tons of places to get active that will keep you and your family out of the cold.Try taking the kids to a bowling alley for a few games. Many offer both 10-pin and five-pin options, and the loud clat-ter of falling pins will excite even the smallest bowlers. Or maybe swimming is more your speed. Getting in a few laps or even just bouncing around the shallow end is a great cardiovascular workout that the whole family can take part in. When you want something a bit more structured, check out your local parks and recreation centre. Many offer programs for children of all ages, from basketball games to indoor skating lessons.If the weather is nice, there is noth-ing better than hitting one of the local mountains. Cypress, Grouse and Seymour are all close by, or you can take a bit of a road trip up to Whistler/Blackcomb. All of the mountains offer skiing or snowboarding lessons to people of all skill levels, and everyone can enjoy a hot chocolate at the end of a great day on the slopes. If skiing and snowboarding aren’t quite your cup of tea, snowshoeing or cross-country ski-ing can be found as well.Getting active together can be as simple as going for a bike ride. Whether you
want to trek to Vancouver’s SeaWall or pay a visit to your local trails, cycling is a great way to spend time together, see the local wildlife or burn off some energy.A round of mini-golf can be incredibly entertaining, especially if none of you are going to be the next Rory McIlroy. There are both indoor and outdoor op-tions in Metro Vancouver, so find your nearest course and get ready for some great family friendly fun.When it’s a bit of friendly competition that you’re looking for, paintball is the answer. Whether you want to team up together against another family or play every man for himself, laughter is sure to ensue. Shooting Dad in the leg with a bright blue paint ball or chasing your big sister around a course will make for some great memories.We are all spoiled by living in British Columbia with all of its gorgeous scenery and athletic opportunities, so gather the kids this Family Day, bring your sense of adventure and get ready to see why so many people love beautiful, natural B.C. Who knows, you may find a new sport to love or instill an addiction to outdoor activity!

SubmittedThe Kitimat Mar-
lins had 26 swimmers competing in Terrace at the 2013 Northwest Regional Swimming Championships.
One hundred swimmers from teams from Terrace, Smithers and Prince Rupert were also in attendance. With strong swims from all the Marlins swimmers and relay wins in the 10 and un-der and 11-12 girls the Marlins placed second behind the Prince Ru-pert Rapids in overall points at the meet.
Leah Desousa (10) took her first ever gold medal in the 10 and under girls division with some excellent swims and 100 per cent personal best times. Her biggest improvement was a 40 second drop in time in her 400 meter freestyle.
The Marlins have a strong group of 10 and under girls as Hannah Pearson (10) also with the Marlins took silver for overall points in the divi-sion as well. Her biggest improvement also came in the 400 freestyle, a 17 second drop.
In the 11-12 girls division Marlins swimmer Alivia Salema (12) took the gold medal for overall points.
Her best swim of the meet came in the 200 breaststroke, a 14 second improvement, her third AAA Provincial qualifying time and a time that ranks her third in BC for 12 year old girls
In the 13-14 girls Marlins swimmer Kleanza Cathers (13) took the gold medal for overall points. Her best swim of the weekend came in the 100 freestyle, a two second drop and only one second away from her second AAA Provincial qualifying standard.
In the 13-14 boys Marlins swimmer Brander Pacheco (14) swam to all personal best times.
He achieved his 4th AAA Provincial qualify-
ing standard in the 400 IM with a 30 second im-provement in the event. He also reached his first qualifying standard for the next age group up in the 200 butterfly with a 2 second improvement.
In the 15 and under girls category Marlins swimmer Robyn Alderman (16) took the Bronze medal for overall points. Her best swim came in the 800 meter freestyle where she dropped 50 sec-onds off her personal best time.
In the 15 and over boys category Kyler Cor-deiro (17) battled sickness and some very tough competition to take the gold. His best swim came in the 100 breaststroke, a personal best time.
Raychel Davies (12) and Morgan Winterburn (12) became the Marlins newest AA Provincial qualifiers. Davies qualified in the 400 and 800 freestyle and 200 butterfly while Winterburn quali-fied in the 200 backstroke. They will now both be attending AA sc (25 meter pool) Provincial Cham-pionships in Surrrey in two weeks time.
The largest one swim improvement came from Ben Anker (14) who took off a whopping one min-ute and 18 seconds off his 800 meter freestyle time.
Also of note, besides Desousa and Pacheco there were three other swimmers that achieved 100 per cent personal best times in all seven of their races. They were Madisen Hauki (12), Madisen Szmata (11), and Nolan Striker (12).

NOTICEKitimat-Stikine Terrace Public Library Cost Sharing Local Service Amendment Bylaw No. 625, 2013.
The Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine gives notice that it proposes to amend the “Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine Terrace Public Library Cost Sharing Local Service Establishment Bylaw No. 321, 1992” by adopting “Kitimat-Sti-kine Terrace Public Library Cost Sharing Local Service Establishment Amend-ment Bylaw No. 625, 2013”. Bylaw No. 625 is currently at third reading and may be adopted as early as the February 22, 2013 Board meeting.
The purpose of the Bylaw is to:• Increase the maximum annual requisition limit that can be levied from
$210,000 to $262,500 to meet current operational needs and provide room for incremental future increases as required.
• This Library Cost Sharing Service was established by bylaw in 1979 and was approved by referendum. The current maximum annual requisition limit of $210,000, was established by Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine Terrace Public Library Cost Sharing Local Service Bylaw No. 321, 1992. In 1992 the actual tax levy was just under $50,000 and has steadily in-creased to just under $195,000 in 2012.
• Costs are expected to continue to be recovered primarily by means of a property value tax based on net taxable value of land and improvements. Based on current assessments, the residential tax rate for different requisi-tion amounts are estimated as follows :✓ $0.37/$1,000 of net taxable value of land and improvements on a
requisition of $210,000.✓ $0.45/$1,000 on a requisition of $250,000.✓ $0.47/$1,000 on a requisition of $262,500.
Persons wishing to inquire or inspect this Bylaw can view it on the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine’s website www.rdks.bc.ca or contact the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine at #300, 4545 Lazelle Avenue, Terrace, BC V8G 4E1, telephone 250.615.6100 or 1.800.663.3208, office hours are from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, Monday to Friday excluding holidays.

It’s more than a pipeline.
Tankers will reduce speeds in the channels…Tankers travel slowly, but to make sure that marine species and their habitats are respected, tankers will be required to reduce speed as they pass through certain sections of the channels. Even their escort tugboats will have quieter engines to reduce underwater noise.
Additional radar and navigational aids will improve safety for all vessels…For increased safety and sure guidance, additional radar systems and navigational
aids, such as beacons, buoys and lights, will be installed throughout the routes. This will not
only improve safety for tankers, but for all marine traffi c on the north coast.
Discover more about our rigorous marine safety plan and join the conversation at marine.northerngateway.ca.
Although tankers have been safely navigating the north coast and its channels for decades, marine safety remains a top priority for British Columbians. We have been planning the Northern Gateway Project for over a decade, with a particular focus on protecting the environment. We have added specifi c safety requirements to our marine operations plan to help
make the waters of the north coast safer not just for tankers serving the project, but for all marine vessels.
Qualifi ed BC Coast Pilots will board and guide all tankers… To prevent spills, all tankers
serving the project will be modern and double-hulled, and will be vetted
by independent, third party agencies before entering Canadian waters.
Once strict safety and environmental standards
are met, they will be guided through the Douglas and Principe Channels by qualifi ed BC Coast Pilots.
Powerful tugboats will escort tankers…Tugboats have been shown to signifi cantly reduce tanker incidents worldwide. Powerful tugboats that have
been specially commissioned for Northern Gateway will assist in the
safe arrival and departure of tankers. All tankers will be attended by a close escort tug. In the channels, laden tankers will have two tugs–one tethered at all times. These tugboats will
have emergency response equipment on board and will be capable of assisting any marine vessel.
