Resident seeks cleaner entrance to townCameron Orr

Kitimat Council has been en-couraged by a resident to make sure the highway in to Kitimat from the Snow� ake sign gets cleaned up.

Such work, as the presenter ac-knowledged, is not done by the mu-nicipality but rather is the domain of the Ministry of Transportations con-tractor for the highway. Even so the resident, Ted Bergen, says the town can play a role in cleaning it up, in what Bergen says is the absence of action by the contractor.

Bergen said he spoke with some-one from the highway contractor last year and was told garbage is picked up every three to four months.

“I don’t really think this is ac-curate,” wrote Bergen to Kitimat Council.

A representative for the high-way contractor Nechako Northcoast was not immediately available to comment.

Bergen said he’d be willing to work with the town to “at least try to keep our city limits looking like something we are proud of.”

Bergen also referred to the work of volunteer groups who had taken to the road to clean up trash on the highway up to Cablecar, saying that such clean-up events collected al-most 200 bags of garbage from the Snow� ake to the town site.

Kitimat Council took in the let-ter for information and gave staff direction to send the letter also to

the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure.

The Council also did contem-plate their potential role in cleaning up the highway.

Mario Feldhoff recalled how the District pays for a person to help maintain cleanliness on the river-bank.

“Whether or not we need to have somebody like that helping us with the entrance to town, it may be a so-lution there,” he said.

Chief Administrative Of� cer Warren Waycheshen said that some communities do have regular volun-teer groups doing clean up but cau-tioned that the town should talk to the contractor before the town looks to pursue that avenue.

“The one thing I would some-what caution with this one is we wouldn’t want to be having a down-loading of provincial responsibili-ties, to us to be paying for that,” he said.

Rob Gof� net added that the town could look at ways to cut down on garbage before it becomes litter, reacting to Mary Murphy’s recollec-tion of an earlier attempt by council to create a bylaw on properly secur-ing loads to the land� ll.

Feldhoff sided with the CAO on the matter though, saying he didn’t want council duplicating laws of other levels of government.

“I for one don’t want to replicate what is already law,” he said.

Things need addressing in new curriculumCameron Orr

The President of the Kitimat Dis-trict Teachers Association says planned changes to the provincial kindergarten to grade nine curriculum are actually most-ly good, however the main concerns are over its implementation.

“I think there’s some really good elements in it...but I’m actually quite concerned about the resources that are going to be put in place to support the new curriculum,” said KDTA President Kim Meyer. “Honestly, I don’t see any resources being put in place to support the curriculum.”

She said without an investment in re-sources to put the new curriculum in to service things like classroom textbooks will suddenly � nd themselves out of date of the material they’re teaching.

The content itself doesn’t appear to

be a problem to her though.“What I think is fabulous is there

is supposed to be First Nations studies throughout the K-12, as opposed to just a smattering here and there,” she said.

But again, implementation will be key.

“I think that’s really, really good news. But not being a First Nations per-son, where am I going to get that infor-mation? I have no way of teaching that which I don’t know.”

She said teachers are working with the school board to set in-service plans and � nd ways to get the resourcs needed.

“So far our school board appears to be on board in the implementation be-cause it’s not being implemented this year,” she said. Some school district’s in the province have pushed to put it in ef-fect this year but the new curriculum is

planned to be phased in over three years.The Sentinel sent a media inquiry

to a Kitimat school board trustee but a response was prepared instead by the school district’s superintendent, Kather-ine McIntosh.

“The new curriculum provides en-gaging opportunities for students to go deeper with their learning based on their passions and interests. Our schools and district will support our teachers with their implementation during the year. We are excited about the changes coming to all levels of our system,” she wrote.

In response to follow-up questions about its implementation, she only said that “Implementation plans will be de-termined by our District Implementation Committee which is a partnership be-tween the CMSD82 administration and CMTF.”

September 9An out-of-town resident called the RCMP on a re-

September 12A landlord gave an unspeci� ed complaint to RCMP

regarding the payment of rent from a hire property man-ager. Police told the landlord this � le would be a civil rather than criminal � le and was advised to contact the Residential Tenancy Branch.

An of� cer on patrol noticed a vehicle that did not come to a complete stop at a stop sign and initiated a traf� c stop. The Learners Class driver admitted to the of-� cer to having recently consumed marijuana and was in possession of a medium-sized amount.

Police are ask-ing the public for in-formation in regards to an incident where a dog was left to die in a diaper box in the woods near the Copper River east of Thornhill.

“We estimate the dog had been left for at least two days. He was still alive, but barely. He had been left to die in the woods in a box,” says Cst Aaron Muzzerall of the RCMP’s West Paci� c Traf� c Ser-vices section based in Terrace, B.C.

The dog was severely dehydrated and suffering from an eye infection. The vet also discov-ered other health complications.

In the end, the decision was made to have the dog eu-thanized, said Ter-race RCMP in a statement.

“An animal should never be treated this badly and have to suffer like this. Owning a pet comes with it a responsibility to take care of it,” the statement contin-ued.

If you have in-formation about this crime contact the Terrace RCMP at 250-638-7400.

B.C.’s minimum wage has risen 20 cents to $10.45 an hour, the � rst annual increase since the provincial government tied it to the B.C. consumer price index.

It’s the � rst in-crease since 2012, when the wage was in-creased to $10.25. For restaurant and pub serv-ers, the minimum wage rises from $9 to $9.20. Jobs Minister Shirley Bond has said the dis-count from the general minimum wage will remain at $1.25 to ac-count for tips.

Meanwhile the NDP labour critic Shane Simpson called the increase “dismal” and “paltry.”

REGIONAL BRIEFS

Town to look into Vista Village complaintCameron Orr

The District of Kitimat is treating the presentation at a re-cent council meeting regarding the condition of the property at Vista Village Trailer Park as an of� cial complaint and will move forward on standard complaint investigation policies.

Although the con-cerns were brought up in a public council meeting by a trailer park resident and a member of the Kiti-mat Housing Resource Project, Chief Admin-istrative Of� cer War-ren Waycheshen took an opportunity to tell councillors that in usu-al cases the town will not voluntarily disclose who made complaints against persons or homeowners as a mat-ter of policy.

As of the Sep-tember 14 Committee of the Whole meet-ing staff had not yet conducted any inves-tigation, as they were awaiting council’s re-view of the plan before moving ahead. That de-lay as well was due to the public nature of the

complaint and other-wise complaints would not usually be shared at a public meeting for council’s review.

The options of the District to investigate complaints can be to either refer to another agency (as an example the Ministry of Envi-ronment could be one), to issue a ticket under the Municipal Tickets program, court-ordered enforcement, or reme-dial action as outlined under the Community Charter.

A report to coun-cil emphasizes that the fact that the town will investigate a complaint at Vista Village does not suggest that any vi-olations have actually occurred, just that they will look in to it.

The outline of the complaint is that the owner of Vista Village has been storing old oil tanks on Vista Village property which may be degrading the ground and could potentially

impact drinking water.Such assessment

was made following a letter sent to residents from an environmental � rm hired by the park, warning against oil leaking from vehicles.

The representa-tive for Vista Village Michael Gemmiti re-sponded to the con-cerns put forward at the council meeting, saying the letters from the � rm on oil leakages “were given to protect the park’s infrastruc-ture, not as a precur-sor to evictions,” as was suggested by Paul Lagace at the Septem-ber 8 meeting.

“The assertion that the letters indicate an avenue for future evic-tion notices is actu-ally just an avenue for Lagace to put himself in front of council, yet again,” said Gemmiti. “Could the letter result in eviction notices? Only in an extremely lengthy and unlikely process.”

That process, he says, would be for a tenant having to ignore the warning letter, forc-ing Vista Village to ap-ply to the Residential Tenancy Board for an order to force the ten-ant to � x the issue, then the tenant would have to ignore that order to � x the problem. At that point the park could is-sue a one-month evic-tion notice, he said.

As for the oil tanks in question on the prop-erty owned by the park owner, he said “Vista Village informs me that there are old tanks but they have been empty for years with no oil. Vista Village has been trying to get the salvage people from Terrace to remove them but they have been too busy and that Vista Village’s tanks were too small of a load for them to take. It will continue to look into properly dispos-ing the empty tanks.”

As for if the park would welcome any review by the Minis-try of Environment, which was an avenue suggested by Lagace at the council meet-

ing, Gemmiti said they wouldn’t.

“It is odd that Kiti-mat Council is taking steps to investigate this issue on the basis of some pictures and pure speculation without � rst contacting Vista Village,” he said.

Finally, as to the suggestion that Vista Village may be intend-ing to shut down, that is also not the case.

“Vista Village has no intention of closing the park and has never made a single com-ment to the contrary. It appears to Vista Village that the only person making this assertion is Paul Lagace and his intentions for doing so are unknown,” he said. “It is distressing to many long term resi-dents of Vista Village that this false accusa-tion and many others

are being told to Kiti-mat Council and to the press.”

He said that start-ing last year “a so-called homeowners’ association made up of a few tenants” has taken aggressive stanc-es “to the detriment of other tenants.”

“Some long term tenants now fear walking in what they thought was a safe park all these years because of a couple of tenants that do not want to fol-low the park rules or their tenancy agree-ments. The long term tenants complain to management that they have been living happi-ly in the park for many years and never had a problem until the asso-ciation started attack-ing the management of the park over the past year.”

Traffic jams from paving just a reality of the work says managerCameron Orr

The manager of Terrace Paving, the contrac-tor in charge of the road work that has been taking place in Kitimat over the past several weeks has said the lengthy delays for motorists is simply a fact of day-time work.

He said the alternative would be nighttime paving which would come to a larger cost to the taxpayer.

Terrace Paving Manager Mirko Rutar said the work was really a race against the weather given that such work is normally done earlier in the summer but the municipal strike caused delays through the season.

“Normally it would be nice not to work in to the rush hour but if your timing is such that you have to get work done with the weather being a factor, so be it,” he said.

He also noted the work is done far faster these days than in years passed due to a new asphalt plant in Kitimat, taking a job that would take two weeks worth of work and compressing it to under one week.

The subject of traf� c control emerged as Kitimatians had to deal with lengthy delays from Haisla Bridge to the City Centre. The community frustration effectively came to a head on Monday, September 14, as people waiting to leave the Ser-vice Centre had to wait upwards of an hour, some say. Among those who said their wait was an hour is city councillor Mario Feldhoff, who encour-aged District of Kitimat staff at the September 14

Committee of the Whole meeting to speak to Ter-race Paving to ensure the proper practices are in place to spare unnecessary waiting in the future.

Rutar said based on conversations with his staff he’s not sure that an hour would have passed for Feldhoff waiting in traf� c, but did support the traf� c control plans that were in place.

“Nothing is perfect from a traf� c control point of view,” he said, saying the work involves coordi-nating a lot of people that are constantly moving, in this case, through three town intersections.

Rutar also says motorists themselves need to shoulder some of the responsibility.

“People don’t help,” he said. “People go through the site in the morning and they still go back at lunch. Why wouldn’t you take a bagged lunch that day? All my people did...Some com-mon sense sometimes does not prevail.”

The company was waiting for another day of good weather to wrap up the bulk of the remain-ing work, and would also work on some minor patching around town too.

Rutar said he has spoken with the District of Kitimat and feels assured the staff don’t see prob-lems.

“I’ve had discussions with the District, they’re not overly concerned about it,” he said about traf-� c control. “They understand. Short term pain for long-term gain.”

Traf� c control is managed by Terrace Paving but the � aggers themselves belong to a subcon-tractor, he said.

“Vista Village has no intentionof closing the park.”


The Stephen Harper govern-ment, since attaining its majority in the 2011 federal election, has pursued a fairly extreme small “c” conserva-tive agenda with its lawmaking and numerous times that it has found it-self in the Supreme Court of Canada defending its laws, mostly on the ba-sis of constitutional legality and to its continued chagrin the courts have overturned laws with a certain amount of regularity.

One wonders, with all the ac-claimed talent on the government benches and in its legal support group, why this government can so frequently adopt laws unacceptable to the courts when challenged.

It just doesn’t seem to make sense that the government continues to � ght off opposition objections in the House, enact laws, have them passed by the Senate, only to � nd the courts blocking their objectives.

It points to the regular failure of the government to listen to any other elected Canadians, or even the opin-ions of the public, despite millions of dollars spent in political polling.

The most recent rejection came

just last week when the Federal Court of Appeals upheld a lower court rul-ing that struck down a ban on women wearing niqabs at citizenship ceremo-nies.

Three justices on the Federal Court of Appeal, in a ruling from the bench, said they wanted to rule now so the woman at the centre of the case could take her citizenship oath and vote in the federal election on Oct. 19.

For the feds this was the latest in a seemingly unending series of power-destroying negative rulings since 2013, when the court found Canada’s prostitution laws outdated and unconstitutional and ordered the Harper Government to drawup new ones.

A few months later, the Tories’ response was a heavy duty package of

laws that effectively kept prostitution illegal anyway.

The 9-0 court decision gave the government a year to enact a new stat-ute, which resulted in Bill C-36 being enacted the following November.

Many legal experts expect the new law will also face constitutional challenge.

No one as yet has any idea of the overall � nal cost.

In June last year the highest court determined that a federal ban on non-dried marijuana extracts for medical use is also unconstitutional.

The Supreme Court’s invalidation of medicinal marijuana regulations again emphasized the court’s refusal to uphold government legal measures which it believes re� ect “a total dis-connect between a law’s professed positive aims and its Charter-violating effects.”

Yet Another example was Canada (Attorney General) v. PHS Commu-nity Services Society [2011] which invalidated the Harper government’s refusal to exempt a Vancouver safe injection site from drug possession laws.

An interesting run against the courts

UBCM chance for lobbying

This week some of our council and top District of Kitimat administrators will be in the Lower Main-land for the annual Union of B.C. Municipalities conference.

It’s perhaps not the most exciting of events to ever take place. But if it’ll grab your attention just think of it as the local government playoffs. For us in the north, we gather at the North Central Local Gov-ernment Association, pass motions which we think are worthwhile for the big show in the south, UBCM, where among the various motions and policy direc-tions by local governments, the provincial govern-ment makes a show too, and our mayors and council-lors get a chance to, as it were, lobby our concerns to the top people.

Long story short, it’s the chance for a communi-ty like Kitimat to speak to a government minister and say how the town’s been, and what needs improving. And more speci� cally how the province can help.

I can think of some things that are worth a con-versation at the moment.

In fact I could imagine the minister of transpor-tation and infrastructure could easily spend a few hours with Kitimat.

To start off, because it’s the freshest subject, garbage collection on the highway. Is enough being done to keep the place clean by the ministry’s con-tractor?

In the grand scheme of things that might take a second place though to things like bridge crossings. The recent road work in Kitimat proved that we’re always a few hold ups away from a traf� c shut down. With one way in to town, something stopping traf� c on the bridge can have big implications, safety wise and economically too.

Then there’s the Resource Bene� ts Alliance, and a provincial government who, it appeared at least a few weeks ago, hadn’t really engaged them to forge a path.

UBCM is the best place to � nally corner who-ever would be in charge of that. Get the minister in charge of LNG development at a table and � gure out a plan for communities like Kitimat to prepare for a future of further construction.Which incidently in-cludes a look at our bridge, I’m sure.

And while we’re at it we should ask someone about that planned redesigned intersection that had been announced a month or two ago. Minister Todd Stone said the work would be done before the close of the year.

But with the slow pace of work on just repaving our roads due to the season, I’m wondering if that Kitamaat Village intersection work was too optimis-tic for 2015?

John 6: 35, “Je-sus said, ‘I am the bread of life; who-ever comes to me will not hunger and whoever believes in me will never thirst.”

Most of us can’t imagine not having freezers and pantry’s full of food and yet we grumble and com-plain. We are so eas-ily discontented. We can stand in front of a closet full of clothes and say, “I don’t have anything to wear.”

We can stand in

front of an open freezer and say, “I can’t think of anything to make for supper.”

And so we try to satisfy this discontent by � lling up our lives with more stuff. We think if we just have that new job or that new car, or if we have the right social circle then we will be happy and

content, but it never works. The problem is that discontent isn’t a matter of the physical realm. Dis-content stems from a spiritual vacuum. It is an insatiable emp-

tiness that gnaws away at your insides when you don’t have the food that satis� es your soul. What we really need food for our soul, and that soul food is Jesus Christ.

In the verse above, Jesus had just � nished feeding the 5,000 with a boy’s small lunch

and stopped to ex-plain something to the crowds that were following Him. They didn’t get it. They didn’t want to make Jesus their heavenly King, they wanted to make Him their Bread King. They had just seen Him perform a great miracle and they wanted more where that came from. And so Jesus said to them, “Truly I say unto you, the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world. They said,

“Sir, give us this bread always.” Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me, shall not thirst.”

This bread of life is Christ’s body given for you on Calvary’s cross. It is the Spiri-tual food we receive by being in God’s Word, reading His promise of forgiveness and sal-vation to us and then digesting what those promises mean to us. It is the sweet commu-nion of prayer with our

Creator, and it is living in the forgiveness and eternal life won for us on the cross by Christ through simple repen-tant faith in Him.

If you are ever tempted to question God’s faithfulness, just turn to Romans 8:32, “He who did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up for us all…how will He not also, along with Him, graciously give us all things?” How could God not watch over those He has made His own dear children through

the blood of His own Son? How could God not provide for those who have become heirs of eternal life with His One and only Son?

We have more than just our daily bread to convince us that God is gracious and faithful to us.

We have Jesus. God provides both for our physical and our spiritual needs in His Son Jesus Christ and through Him, we are satis� ed for this life and for all eternity.

Amen.

Harper tried to appoint a Federal Court of Canada judge, Marc Na-don, to � ll a Quebec seat on the Supreme Court of Canada, this too was deemed unconstitutional, this time creating serious public embar-rassment for the Government.

Similarly the Supreme Court struck down mandatory minimum sentence legislation as well as Can-ada’s ban on doctor-assisted death, a practice opposed by the Conser-vative government.

In another case, the court ruled that a Conservative government law taking away early parole from non-violent, � rst-time offenders could not be imposed retroactively.

Anyway, as you can see, it goes on and on.

For reasons that have recently become increasingly clear, Mr. Harper also set his sights in limit-ing Senate power through measures such as elections or term limits for senators. Once again the Supreme Court intervened with government

plans in November, last year when it opined that the Prime Minister couldn’t do anything to the Senate without the assent of all provinces.

The eventual aim of banishing the Senate outright, the court said, would require a vote of unanimity from the provinces, deemed highly unlikely by most Canadians. With a � rm election date looming there was not time for anything this com-plicated to be started.

However, this could be interest-ing if Mr. Mulcair becomes PM, be-cause he has promised to eliminate the Senate, so we could expect this to come up again in this eventuality.

How long Mr. Harper’s gov-ernment will continue to spat on a regular basis with the Supreme Court will of course be determined by the results of the Oct. 19 gen-eral election, but some of Mr. Mul-cair’s plans can be expected equally to involve a process with the SCC so this kind of non-TV entertain-ment can be expected to continue for some time, no matter what the result.

Cameron OrrROI Land Invest-

ments is pressing ahead in developing their townhouse and apartment complex in Kitimat.

ROI is the compa-ny behind the planned redevelopment at what was the Alexan-der Townhouses.

The site was cleared of buildings over the summer as they anticipate con-struction to begin in earnest next year.

The company ac-quired the 170,000 square feet land at the end of 2014 and will consist of 84 apart-ments and nine town-houses.

In a letter to shareholders, ROI President Philippe Germain said the development ties in well to Kitimat poten-tially facing a housing shortage.

“Similar to Ter-race, the area around Kitimat is facing a noteworthy housing shortage due to the tremendous economic and population growth related to the con-struction of a number of LNG facilities in British Columbia,” he wrote.

The ROI devel-opment has an agree-ment with LNG Canada to provide 35 apartments.

That agreement

was made in May.“LNG Canada in-

tends to lease these units for its workforce over a � ve year pe-riod,” continued Ger-main.

“The � rst phase of the project, which calls for 36 apartments and nine townhouses, is expected to be com-pleted in May 2016.”

LNG Canada has

also entered an agree-ment for beds at the Civeo accomodation in the Strawberry Meadows area.

LNG Canada didn’t have any spe-

ci� c comment about their housing needs over the next year but the company has said that if there is a posi-tive � nal investment decision for the proj-

ect that the non-local construction work-force would be housed in a dedicated worker accomodation village, located in the indus-trial part of Kitimat.

An awkward fi rst kiss?Area photographer Allan Colton was kind enough to let us print this photo he took — and shared on his Facebook page Allan’s Photos — of two bears who he cheekily referred to as kissing, although the bears’ true activities were likely not engaging in a smooch. Colton said the picture was taken in the Kitimat region.

Council backs GasLink pipe

Kitimat Council has already endorsed the LNG Canada project, and now they have added their support to the pipeline which would supply it.

TransCanada had asked the District of Kiti-mat for a letter of support for the Coastal GasLink pipeline, as part of the company’s process as they work towards a � nal investment decision, says a report to council from District staff.

“There is very limited opposition to the proj-ect, and many Aboriginal communities, local businesses, other local governments, and indi-viduals support this project,” continue the report, prepared by the District’s Economic Development Of� ce.

“This project, along with other proposed LNG projects, will bring signi� cant bene� ts to Kitimat.”

The natural gas pipeline has worked out a number of project agreements along its route with Aboriginal communities, but still faces opposition from the Unis’tot’en clan.

The group has blocked attempts by company of� cials to enter the territory, and has held up work enough that the company has actually al-tered their proposed route.

GasLink is a proposed 48-inch pipe that runs 670km from the Dawson Creek area.

In Terrace the city voted to withhold their own letter of support until after they could meet with the provincial government over revenue sharing agreements. Terrace Mayor Carol Leclerc called it a tactical move:

“This is a strategic move to hold the prov-ince’s feet to the � re,” she told the Terrace Stan-dard paper.

Sometimes it takes a personal touch to set someone off on a path to do good.For Michel Voyer, it was his grandfather.

Voyer has, for the past two years, been Kitimat’s Relay for Life head organizer. The Relay for Life is the annual fundraiser, in Kitimat held on the track � eld of Mount Elizabeth Middle Secondary School.The annual event raises hundreds of thousands of dollars for the Canadian Cancer Society.Voyer has found a lot of of positives from his time heading the event, but his time has run out.He’s attached to the Rio Tinto Alcan modernization project, and with his job in Kitimat ending he’ll be heading back home to Quebec.He found it was a good way to meet people and organizing events was rewarding for him. Not to mention just the overall good personal experience you get from doing these things.He might never have had gotten involved if it wasn’t for his grandfather developing colorectal cancer. His grandfather eventually died from complications relating to it but the experience brought to the forefront the value of giving back to the community.Voyer said being involved in cancer fundraising also builds off of his own

family’s experience, and helps get the message out to people who might not know.That message being you should be sure to have yourself checked out. Colorectal cancer and prostate are the two leading cancer types for men, and it’s worth while to get checked out when you hit 40. Even earlier still if you have a family history. Voyer says there are indicators that there’s a

better chance you can develop cancer like this if it’s in your family line.As for the future of Kitimat’s Relay, the Canadian Cancer Society is keeping their eyes open for a new person to carry the torch.The Community Giving Coordinator based in Terrace, Amanda Berry, is the key local contact, and anyone with an interest in signing up for the task can give her a call at 250-631-9227, or email [email protected] said the role actually isn’t as time-intensive as it may suggest, and the rewards might give back more than the role takes.Berry herself is quick to point to the value of volunteers like Voyer in building on successes in the cancer � eld.“Without volunteers like Michel, we

wouldn’t be able to fund the research and support programs that have made a difference to so many,” said Berry.Berry also points out the things to celebrate in cancer research.“There’s a lot of good news to celebrate when it comes to prostate cancer. Thanks to continued advancements in both detection and treatment, the survival rate is extremely high. Despite these successes, prostate cancer remains the most common cancer among Canadian men, which is why the Canadian Cancer Society and the Relay for Life will continue to fund research into this disease,” she said.

She also encourages people to seek out the support they need.

“While the prognosis for prostate cancer is quite good, many men will struggle with the short and long term effects of both treatment and the disease itself. The Canadian Cancer Society’s support programs allow patients and their loved ones to talk to an informed specialist or to even speak with a volunteer that’s gone through a similar experience with cancer. If you or someone you care about is facing a recent diagnosis, I’d encourage you to learn more about the ways we can help by calling 1-888-939-3333 or visiting us at cancer.ca.”

AWARENESS MONTH

Things You Should Know...» There will be an estimated 24,000 diagnoses of prostate cancer in

Canada in 2015 – about 24% of all new cancer cases in men.» Prostate cancer usually grows slowly and can often be completely

removed or managed successfully. » Over 95% of men will survive at least 5 years beyond a diagnosis of

prostate cancer, which is much higher than the overall cancer survival rate of 63%.

» Catching it early is the key to success. As you approach 50, talk to your doctor about testing.

» If you notice changes or pain in urination or ejaculation, see your doctor.

» Risk increases with age and family history of prostate cancer. Given Canada’s aging and growing population, we expect to see a large increase in prostate cancer cases over the next 15 years.
