Tackling neutrality

A motion which sought to emphasize the Dis-trict of Kitimat’s resolve in protecting the com-munity’s water supply got de-clawed from the original councillor’s wording.

“This shows no guts,” said Phil Germuth, re-acting to an amendment to his motion made by councillor Edwin Empinado.

Germuth’s motion was initially for the DoK to “require Enbridge to install a leak detection system that can locate small volumes...” where a leak would “impact the Kitimat watershed or the District of Kitimat water intakes.”

His motion kicked off a lively debate, which covered everything from the NIMBYs (Not In My Backyard) to concerns centred on the word “re-quire.”

“A spill into our watershed could devastate our community, especially if it enters our water distribution system,” said Germuth in introducing his motion.

He said getting the town’s concerns to the company would give them plenty of time ahead of � rming up the � nal designs of their project.

Mario Feldhoff wasn’t sold on the motion.“Council has a policy of neutrality towards

the Enbridge project. From my perspective that policy supported allowing the independent JRP... to conclude their � ndings,” he said, adding he supports the numerous conditions which came with the report.

“Those conditions include elements related to leak detection. I do not want council to attempt to replicate the JRP process,” he said.

Feldhoff however also took the opportunity to speak out to those who continue to doubt the JRP process, saying he did not feel the process was pre-destined.

“To my mind, opposition to the JRP Northern Gateway report, at this stage, is yet another case of NIMBY-ism: Not In My Backyard,” he said. “We should re� ect on the fact that Kitimat would likely not be the community it is today if the NIMBYs of the Nechako watershed had their way.”

He said what he would support is having a discussion with Enbridge to talk about leak detec-tion technologies.

Councillor Rob Gof� net meanwhile didn’t see the motion affecting neutrality.

“If we feel it’s prudent to quiz something about leak detection, that does not call into ques-tion the entire JRP or tips council’s hand to be for or against the project anymore than the JRP putting it into their 209 conditions are necessarily coming out 100 per cent in favour of the project,” he said.

Moving ahead on a plebisciteWe’ll still have to wait to

know exactly what questions will be asked, but Kitimat Council has opted to go with a plebiscite to determine the community’s opinion on the Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipelines project.

That went against the staff’s recommendation of hiring an independent polling company to conduct a tele-phone survey.

There was a divide in some councillors, some who felt they didn’t know enough about what to ask to vote on how to gather community opinion.

But Rob Gof� net, who supported the plebiscite, poked the � rst hole into the problem with a telephone sur-vey.

“I have no reservation that a professional telephon-

ing company can try their darnedest to get people at ev-ery time of the day or night to answer the phone,” he said. “I like taking polls, I like an-swering my telephone, but I do not answer any sort of un-identi� ed call...because I am bound and determined that I’m not going to get another pollster, another fundraiser, so I just shut down.”

Phil Germuth, also sup-porting the plebiscite, indicat-ed he had full con� dence that staff could make non-biased questions, a concern staff had in their report to council.

Edwin Empinado mean-while was concerned that the majority of the community may not be re� ected in a pleb-iscite.

He pointed to municipal elections, where out of 4,000 registered voters the turnout

might only be about 1,500.He also wanted groups on

both sides of the Enbridge de-bate to be included in crafting questions.

Mario Feldhoff also sup-ported the staff-recommended telephone survey, saying it could give them more power in crafting questions.

“Not having one question but a series of well-crafted questions I think will get us better re� ection of the whole community, and probably is one of the more cost-effective options,” he said.

That option was estimat-

ed to cost between $15,000 and $20,000.

A plebiscite is estimated at approximately $15,000.

But Germuth wasn’t con-vinced that a telephone survey would be that effective, draw-ing parallels to the last pro-vincial election.

“If you look at Ipsos-Reid and them well I think a lot of them are the same companies that went out prior to the last provincial election and said one party was going to wipe it out. And we know what hap-pened there.”

Continued from page 1As for Empinado’s concern

about gathering feedback from community groups, Germuth said people have had their chance for input.

“I think we’ve had two-and-a-half years to include our community and dialogue,” he said.

Feldhoff still tried to move for the telephone polling company, but he had no seconder for the motion.

“I’m not against a plebiscite but I’m concerned that not enough direction is being given to the mo-tion,” he said.

“We’re leaving it somewhat open for staff to come back with a question.

“Wording is very important, and by going with option number

one we would have had the oppor-tunity to get a richer feedback.”

The plebiscite motion passed with just Empinado voting against.

The motion was amended by councillor Scott to ensure advanced polling times were available.

Plebiscite

Council has options in making rules for plebisciteAs of our deadline

council hadn’t set any guidelines for the up-coming plebiscite, but Kitimat’s Deputy Chief Administrative Officer Warren Waycheshen elaborated a little on the potential options they’ll

be considering.He said that sec-

tion 83 of B.C.’s Com-munity Charter gives a municipality the power to seek community opinion on a question the town believes will affect the municipality,

either through voting or “any other process the council considers ap-propriate.”

Waycheshen said that gives councillors the option to either use election sections of the Local Government Act

to hold a formal refer-endum or have a less formal process.

The less for-mal process, says Waycheshen, will still have to be overseen by staff similar to an election, but it gives

the council the ability to review the rules that govern an election and lets them use the whole or only parts of it.

As an example, the Local Government Act requires voters to live in a municipality for 30

days to be eligible to vote.

A non-binding plebiscite would give council the ability to alter that timeframe, for instance.

Waycheshen em-phasizes that is just an example of a possibil-ity, as council here has not yet made any deci-sions on how to conduct the upcoming vote.

“Wording is very important, and by going with option number one we

would have had the opportunity to get a richer feedback.”

Flu season is underway in the Northern Health re-gion and they want to remind northern residents that the best way to avoid in-fluenza is to take ap-propriate preventive measures. Northern Health is experi-encing a normal flu season, however over the last month, clusters of increased influenza cases have been reported in the lower mainland, Al-berta, Ontario and Texas.

Prevention in-cludes getting im-munized against the flu. Residents of northern B.C. can receive their flu shot from their local health unit, pharma-cists, and select fam-ily physician offices or care providers. You can find contact details for your local health unit by con-tacting HealthLink BC at 8-1-1.

This year, any-one who plans to visit someone in a health care facility is also eligible for a free flu shot. The flu shot is also offered for free to people who are at increased risk of complica-tions, or who come in regular contact with those groups. All other British Columbians are able to receive the flu shot for a fee. Learn more about eligibil-ity for a free flu shot at the ImmunizeBC website.

Northern Health strongly encourages those at high risk of complications from the flu get immu-nized.

In addition to getting immunized for influenza, people should also:

- Practice fre-quent and adequate hand hygiene prac-tices.

- Observe cough etiquette.

- Stay at home if they have influenza symptoms.

Home sales roseCameron Orr

Fewer properties were sold in Kitimat in 2013 than in 2012, but the cost of that real estate was nota-bly higher in 2013.

The BC Northern Real Estate Board (BCNREB) reported on January 6 that in Kitimat, the 235 property sales that year added up to $56.9 million.

In 2012 the number was 239 properties sold, but only added up to $41.3 million.

The median value of single-family homes sold in 2013 — that is the exact middle between lowest and highest value — was $227,500. Twenty-nine half-duplexes and 16 townhouses were sold in the year.

There were 23 properties avail-

able as 2013 closed, lower than the 72 available on December 31, 2012.

“The [northern B.C.] area con-tinued its upward trend in sales vol-umes for the fourth year in a row,” said BCNREB President Gisela Janzen in a press release. “And the average sale price for the entire area rose by over four per cent.”

Large economic development projects are credited for the high-value performance.

Meanwhile markets in the southern region remained largely unchanged, Janzen said.

“Overall [northern B.C.] ap-pears to be the most resilient in this post-recession period when com-pared to the rest of the province.”

Groups challenging appeals decisionsA group of or-

ganizations and indi-viduals who oppose an environmental per-mit for the Rio Tinto Alcan smelter in Kiti-mat are going to the BC Supreme Court to challenge an Environ-mental Appeal Board (EAB) ruling against them.

Seven appellants, including Terrace-based organizations Skeena Wild Con-servation Trust and Lakelse Watershed Stewards Society and five individuals from here to even Victoria, had sought to appeal the environmental per-mit which gives RTA the ability to emit an

increased amount of sulphur dioxide (SO2) once their modernized smelter is built.

It is the single area of emissions the com-pany believes will see an increase, while oth-er emissions from par-ticulates to greenhouse gases will drop.

Five of the appel-lants lost to the EAB while two Kitimat resi-dents were permitted to continue with the pro-cess.

“It is unfortunate that RTA and the EAB aren’t taking our con-cerns seriously,” said Skeena Wild Executive Director Greg Knox in a press release. “They have left us no option

but to take them to court.”

Kitimat-residents Emily Toews and Elisabeth Stannus meanwhile argued suc-cessfully to the EAB that they would be impacted by the in-crease in emissions by the smelter once fully modernized.

Alan Andison, chair for the Environ-mental Appeal Board, wrote in his deci-sion that the two have successfully proved they are “persons ag-grieved,” or persons who would be impact-ed by the emissions.

For others though, such as Terrace’s Charles Claus, a food

grower, the EAB felt that the impacts to him were “speculative.”

RTA spokesper-son Colleen Nyce had said in past reports to

the Sentinel that there is room for SO2 scrub-bers in the design of the smelter, however the scrubbers would use large quantities

of salt water and she said the company felt it was preferable to re-lease the SO2 into the air rather than into the ocean.


Hockey is Canada’s game. That’s what we gathered as we watched the Canadian fans’ signs all Christmas week in Sweden at the World Junior Hockey Championships. It turned out it wasn’t to be the case in this particular championship.

Now, as we ramp up our expec-tations for the 2014 Sochi Olympic Games, and contribute to the endless debates over Team Canada’s selec-tions for another big Olympic hockey showdown, I’m left wondering where Canada appears to have gone wrong in hockey over the past 20 years.

The Canadian junior hockey team we sent was clearly not good enough to beat Russia, Czechoslovakia or Finland or to even earn a shot at a gold or any other kind of medal in Malmo, Sweden and the young players returned home empty handed, facing some criticism, but mainly disinterest as the under-her-alded Finns knocked off the favoured Swedes to take gold.

Now the focus turns to Sochi and Canadians will be back on the edge of their seats for another six or seven weeks. And the question is again raised “is hockey Canada’s game?”

Two things have struck me in re-cent days and I demur. One, listening to the commentary from Sweden, what I heard was how the opposing countries all seemed to have youngsters playing

on teams in the major junior leagues across Canada, learning the game from us.

Maybe it’s time for Hockey Can-ada to start limiting “imports” on our top junior teams. I hear this criticism also directed as the principal reason for a shortage of elite Canadian goal-tenders in our junior leagues and now throughout professional leagues.

Two, and truly I have to admit this one bothers me a lot, not one Ca-nadian NHL team from coast to coast has provided a representative on Team Canada’s forward lines for the 2014 Olympics.

All, every single one of Canada’s forwards, play for teams in the USA. Only four players actually play for Ca-nadian teams. The coach is Mike Bab-cock, head coach for the Detroit Red Wings.

Two Canadian teams, Vancouver and Montreal, each have a goaltender and a defenseman on Team Canada and that is it. (Barring future injuries.)

Some other Canadian NHL teams,

Winnipeg, Ottawa, Edmonton, Calgary and Toronto among them, all have only players going to the Olympics to play for teams other than Canada - Russia, Finland, Sweden, Germany, the United States - on and on.

I think this gives us some strong hints about why there’s been such a longstanding drought of important sil-verware in Canadian rinks.

And perhaps why it’s going to con-tinue unless Canadians “take back” more of their “game.”

Canada won the 2010 Olympic Gold medal game in Vancouver, in overtime, as Calgary’s Jarome Iginla (the only forward on that team off a Canadian lineup), set up Pittsburgh’s Sydney Crosby for the “golden goal.” In 2006 Sun Turin, Italy, Team Canada folded unceremoniously on big ice in Europe, but earlier the 2002 team came back, after a slow start to take Gold medals in Salt Lake City.

A Canadian team has not won the Stanley Cup since Montreal claimed the Cup for the record 24th time in 1993, but, we are talking a term of 21 years.

So two Olympic wins in over 60 years isn’t encouraging and no Stanley Cup in over 20 years starts to suggest if hockey is Canada’s game, we’re slip-ping as a hockey power.

Hockey, Canada’s kidnapped sport

Speaking volumes

Talking about neutrality

I’ve mentioned before that this is the Kitimat Northern Sentinel’s 60th year publishing, our � rst is-sue hitting the streets on April 15, 1954.

While admiring the button we placed on our front page, I glanced down at our volume number and noticed it said 59.

Suddenly nothing made sense. I looked back a few years from here and saw we’ve been consistent at least for a few years, and I began to wonder if I had imagined this whole 60-years thing.

Then I looked from the start. Janaury 1954, Jan-uary 1955. Then I hit 1960 and 1961. Both volume 7, according to their masthead.

I don’t mind being cheeky in saying the error was de� nitely the best kind of mistake: someone else’s.

It was the era of Pixie Meldrum as editor, and Dick Dolman as general manager, and the paper was published each Thursday. It cost $3.50 a year for a subscription.

Cheekiness aside, we regret the error and are happy to set the record straight, 53 years later.

Cameron Orr

I don’t quite know how it happened but I ended up reading a little bit about Switzerland’s foreign policy the other night.

The Swiss are of course notorious for their neu-trality, never taking sides on a con� ict.

That said, neutrality might be sometimes mis-understood. From what I read, they waged no cam-paigns, but if any nation tried to cross their border without permission it was a choice the offending party may regret.

School kids take note; this was a moment where history can apply to today.

Our council in Kitimat has taken a neutral posi-tion on the Northern Gateway Pipelines proposal, a fact that was brought up at last Monday’s meeting.

It was mentioned because Phil Germuth tried to pass a motion that would require Enbridge to install very sensitive leak detection systems where the pipe-line could affect the Kitimat watershed.

Through discussion and debate the motion was contorted and as Germuth would later say, had no guts. It effectively asked Kitimat to be included with the discussion on leak detection but its wording didn’t include the � rm “requirement” that Germuth had initially wanted.

Councillors may have been concerned that if they set requirements to the company that they’d been leaning away from neutrality on the project.

I’d argue that it doesn’t take away from neutral-ity at all. I can be neutral on a highway running past my house but I’ll still consider concrete barriers to protect my property.

Setting our expectations is just that. It’s not breaking neutrality, just setting standards.

Continued from page 4The world, of course has caught

up, as everyone knew they would as the game expanded. Most of the best Canadian hockey players now toil for U.S. teams in the NHL - as pointed out by the selection of 14 Canadians, all on U.S. teams, as the country’s offense for Sochi.

What’s wrong with the picture of hockey in Canada in the 2000s? We still raise many of the world’s best players, but they wind up playing in the USA and winning hockey’s holy grail, the Stanley Cup, for fans that chant “Go (somewhere else) go!” Our fans flow over the borders to see most play-off games.

There was a sea of red and white in Malmo and blue in Michigan for the Winter Classic.

Nobody expects a Canadian team to win a Stanley Cup any time soon.

Really!

Edmonton (2006) and Vancou-ver (2011) showed by getting to game 7 of the finals that it’s pos-sible.

In reality, I almost expect to see the Hockey Hall of Fame relo-cate across the border too and I’m not holding my breath for a team in Quebec City or Hamilton any time soon either.

So we’re really left hoping that this group of Canadian players from U.S. teams will pull on their Cana-dian Maple Leaf jerseys, do noble deeds, bring an Olympic victory to Canada in February and get on with their lives playing for the USA.

They might as well.A certain American lawyer says

the NHL won’t be back in future Olympics so I guess he gets to make that decision for us in Canada too as well as a number of other countries.

I find it depressing for the future of our kidnapped sport.

Dear Sir,Some taxpayers

are not thinking of the positive sides of what pipelines can do for them financially. If the pipelines do go ahead, large royalties will be paid to the B.C. gov-ernment, which is re-ally us.

B.C. taxpayers could have a few op-

tions: eliminating the provincial sales tax or medical premiums or even receiving an an-nual royalty cheque. In Alaska, the Alyeska pipeline has provided the average citizen an annual cheque of $1,108.45 a year for 30 years. It’s better than buying lottery tickets.

Some people ask,

what’s the risk of an oil spill, which is real. But these same people get up every morning and do not know what will happen to them.

Going on a vaca-tion? What if the plane goes down? You might have a car accident. Some of us have jobs that can end in an ac-cident. Our health can

suddenly deteriorate.In summary, we

all take chances every day. So why not take the benefits of the pipe-lines?

Joe Sawchuk, Duncan, B.C.

Dear Sir,An open letter to Mayor and Council,

During the January 6 council meeting, Coun-cillor Mario Feldhoff said that a liquid petro-leum refinery in the Kitimat Valley would make Enbridge’s Northern Gateway proposal safer, because supertankers would be carrying refined product instead of diluted bitumen.

Councilor Feldhoff stated, “To be clear, I also support Mr. Black’s proposal to build a refinery halfway between Kitimat and Terrace. His project doesn’t eliminate the risk associated with the pro-posed Northern Gateway project; rather substan-tially reduces shipping risks...”

Douglas Channel Watch is very disappointed with Councilor Feldhoff for not honouring the District of Kitimat’s position of neutrality, which he violated by stating he supports the Enbridge proposal and Mr. Black’s Kitimat Valley refinery idea. To make such a statement during the same meeting where Mayor and Council were to dis-cuss an upcoming plebiscite, where the people of Kitimat would be given an opportunity to vote on the Northern Gateway proposal was an abuse of his position. No councillors should be campaign-ing for Enbridge before the plebiscite, and the Mayor should have reminded them of that fact.

Mr. Black did approach Enbridge in hopes of securing diluted bitumen from the Northern Gate-way pipeline for a refinery. Enbridge contacted the ten companies who are funding the Northern Gateway proposal, and were told by those compa-nies that Northern Gateway is to be a diluted bitu-men export pipeline only. Mr Black’s idea, if it

Positive sides to pipes

Was it abuse of a position?

BackgroundHere is the original motion regarding

neutrality, made June 21, 2010:THAT the Mayor and Council of the

District of Kitimat go on record as neither opposing nor supporting the Enbridge su-per tanker proposal but that we want to take part in the one to two year Environmental Assessment Process and the Joint Review Panel to learn and understand whether this will be a beneficial project to Kitimat, the Northwest and British Columbia.

ever does attract investors, would still see diluted bitumen pipelines crossing the Fraser and Skee-na River watersheds, crossing the North Coast Mountains, and would be subjected to the sub-stantial geologic and weather related hazards in the Hoult Creek and Upper Kitimat River valleys.

We are hopeful, considering how Councilor Feldhoff recognizes the devastating effects a di-luted bitumen supertanker spill would have on the north coast BC marine environment, that he will oppose the Northern Gateway diluted bitumen ex-port pipeline proposal based on those grounds, or groundings, as it were.

Sincerely,Douglas Channel Watch (Submitted by

My name is Janet Holder and I am the leader of the Northern Gateway Project. This past December, my team came one step closer towards our goal of building a better pipeline.

After weighing the evidence in the most comprehensive, scientifi c review in Canadian pipeline history, the Joint Review Panel of the National Energy Board and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency provided its recommendation.

The Panel concluded that Canada and Canadians would be better off with the Northern Gateway Project than without it. They also provided 209 conditions we must meet before we build the project or before we start operations.

From the beginning, Northern Gateway has committed to building a safer and better pipeline. The Panel’s conditions are an important step towards that goal. They refl ect the input of thousands of British Columbians and Canadians, and include many of the commitments we made in our submission. But our work is far from done. As a proud British Columbian, I assure you that my team will continue to work hard towards meeting all of the fi nal conditions set out by the Joint Review Panel, just as we’re working hard to meet the Province’s tough conditions.

Building a better pipeline isn’t easy. It takes hard work and completededication to meeting the highest standards possible. The JointReview Panel’s recommendation is an important step toward buildinga better pipeline.

Sincerely,

Janet HolderLeader of Northern Gateway

The hard working Mount Elizabeth Mid-dle Secondary School Musical Theatre club know never to say never, and now they’ve learned to say never never.

The next stage show opens on January 17 and is the classic story of Peter Pan.

Tickets are for sale at the door or at Holly-wood Video.

The club and per-formers have a proven track record of putting on amazing perfor-mances, but this one should stand out by having audiences look-ing upwards.

As the timeless tale has flying acro-batics, so to will this performance, and the school has brought up a flight director from Las Vegas to ensure there’s experience and talent behind the grav-ity-defying stunts.

Johnny Pickett has been at his current company, Flying by Foy, since 1999 and it’s a company with strong roots in Peter Pan.

Its founder, Peter Foy, flew Mary Martin as Peter Pan in 1954, said Pickett.

“There’s not that many companies in the world that do what we do,” he said, explaining why the school would turn to Las Vegas to find a flight director.

The company handles flying perfor-mances for everything from high school pro-ductions to broadway shows to TV and mov-ies.

“Everything comes with its challenges and its fun aspects. What’s great about working with high school kids is, frankly, I come to Kitimat and I’m kind of the rock star, I’m the one making kids fly,”

he said. “When I’m working in Hollywood working on an award show...then I’m just one small cog in a very big wheel. There’s no real difference in what I’m doing but there’s

the difference in per-spective as to how im-portant it is to the over-all production.”

This will be Pick-ett’s 92nd time putting on the flights for a Peter Pan show and he knows

what he’s doing. It took nine hours

to install the equip-ment and the cast and crew have spent hours rehearsing the flying segments.

Pickett said that

students are usually very receptive and ex-cited about flying per-formances, even more so than professional actors.

As for his opin-ion of the local drama

scene, he’s impressed.“Lets face it, you

guys are in the middle of nowhere, and this is a great facility, Mr. Jones (Director) is re-ally on top of things, the kids are really en-

thusiastic,” he said. “There’s a lot of excite-ment in the community about it... and from ev-erything that I can see you’ve got a real nice healthy program going on here.”

Kitimat’s history collected in new Chronicles book

The Kitimat Northern Sentinel’s It’s Our Heritage col-umnist Walter Thorne with his long-time col-laborator Dirk Mendel are back with a new collection.

Kitimat Chron-icles 2 has just been published by Bulkley Valley Printers and is the second in the Kiti-mat Chronicles series.

This new book, says Thorne, has 19 stories, and the book was edited by the Sen-tinel’s former editor Malcolm Baxter.

Kitimat Museum & Archives Curator Louise Avery has pro-vided a forward for the book.

Among those 19 stories people will read four biographies, the Kitimat weather record, the story of the Delta King and Kitimat’s lost nuclear bomb, among many others.

“It has stories of interest to old-timers and newcomers with a real interest in our heritage,” said Thorne through e-mail.

The stories in the book are taken from his columns which run periodically in the Northern Sentinel.

Walter Thorne, left, with Dirk Mendel.Submitted

An official book launch for Kitimat Chronicles 2 is set for the Kitimat Museum & Archives on January 24 at 7:30 p.m.

The book will be

sold at the launch and will primarily be sold through the museum.

The book will also be available at loca-tions in Terrace and Prince Rupert.

The art and photography of Emily Christiansen is on display at the Kitimat Museum & Archives in her latest show, Between a Rock and a Soft Place. The show runs to February 1.

Continued from page 1Corinne Scott also stood by Ger-

muth’s motion.“I think because the JRP is fin-

ished their report and recommended that it goes ahead that it behooves us to ensure that if it does get approval that we get any of our concerns in front of the federal government right away.”

With Empinado’s amendment, the new motion begins, “That the

District of Kitimat meet with En-bridge to discuss installation of leak detection systems...”, removing the ‘require’ part of the motion.

Goffinet, Scott and Germuth voted against the amendment and later on the entire motion itself, but that left four in favour and it passed.

“It’s a motion consistent with the JRP process and it’s a motion I can support,” said Feldhoff of the fi-nal motion.

Setting the path from Kitimat to HockeyvilleCameron Orr

Kelly Nyce-Clifton remembers the game more than her age. She said she was seven, or maybe it was eight, when she � rst fell in love.

Hard to say what held her heart most, the game of hockey, or maybe it was Tampa Bay Lightning’s Cap-

tain David Andrey-chuk.

Either way, her ex-perience with both set a lifelong romance with the game, and she’s hoping she can apply that passion to her new endevour, ensuring that Kitimat is Hockeyville.

Each year the Kraft Hockeyville promo-tion seeks stories and

photos of communities and their ties to hock-ey, all for a chance for $100,000 in ice arena upgrades, and maybe more catching a pre-season NHL game.

“We are Hock-eyville here, hockey’s in everyday culture,” said Nyce-Clifton.

She was there in 2009 in Terrace when

that community earned the Hockeyville title, and knows what the run for it can do to a community.

“That’s what you can really expect, just a powerful amount of energy. That’s what hockey does,” she said. “It’s going to bring the whole community to-gether and everybody

is involved, it’s not just the committee or groups of volunteers, it’s everybody.”

She said she has a lot of support and is working to put a com-mittee together but al-ready has plans to hold events with the Kitimat Ice Demons after their regular season ends.

To help the cause,

people are encouraged to write their hockey stories to the Kraft Hockeyville website at krafthockeyville.cbc.ca.

From there you are encouraged to post your stories on why Kitimat should be Hockeyville.

Photos are also welcome.

Typing Kitimat is Hockeyville into Face-book will � nd their online home base. Nyce-Clifton said she and volunteers plan to go door-to-door too for people who don’t use social media.

“The spirit of hockey will live on here forever if we make that effort.”
