Cameron OrrIt’s no � uke.There’s a growing body of evidence that shows the

area around Gil Island is actually a very important habitat for humpback whales.

A scienti� c study into the abundance of humpback whales was published on September 12, showed that at least in the immediate area of Gil Island, the threatened humpback whale continues to grow at a remarkable pace.

Naturally researchers are now cau-tioning that industrial development with increased marine traf� c could pose a threat to the whales.

The report comes after an eight year study done by researches from the University of St. Andrews, Cetacea Lab, and the Gitga’at Lands and Marine Resources Depart-ment.

Among the reports � ndings are that eight per cent of B.C.’s humpback whale population use the waters around Gil Island, an area which represents just 1.5 per cent of B.C.’s inland coast.

Also, from 2004 to 2011, the number of whales dou-bled in the area, to an average summer population of 140.

“We just wanted to get a better understanding of which species are in the area, what different parts of the area are they using, and how many there are,” said Chris Picard, science director for the Gitga’at First Nation, in which the territory study took place.

“Down the road we want to, with that better under-standing, develop recommendations or strategies that could assist in their conservation,” he added.

The idea to do this study came from anecdotal evidence that there just seemed to be a lot of whales in the area.

Janie Wray, a whale researcher for Cetacea Lab, said they � rst arrived at Hartley Bay to seek permission to in-

stall a whale monitoring station in 2000, and were fortunate to be allowed.

“We built the station on Gil Island and put in a number of hydrophone stations that allowed us to listen to whales,” she said.

No easy path towards affordable housingCameron Orr

Kitimat Council will push ahead in seeking an amended terms of reference for the Kitimat Housing Committee, in an ef-fort to form a sub-committee, speci� cally tasked to promote development of housing projects.

The move comes from a recent motion from Mayor Joanne Monaghan, who had asked for staff to prepare a draft terms of reference for an Affordable Housing and Housing for Persons with Disabilities com-mittee.

The resulting report provided two op-tions to councillors: amend the existing terms of reference for the housing commit-tee, or create a brand new steering commit-tee.

The debate sparked a conversation about whether or not the existing housing committee was the best group to take on the task of getting actual construction proj-ects started.

“I’m a little torn,” said Mario Feldhoff, who would later vote with two others to table the discussion until the council could speak to housing com-mittee representatives, a motion which ulti-mately failed.

Rob Gof� net was the original mover of tabling, and wanted to hear from the com-mittee if they felt they were prepared to devote the “intense effort” to go from an advisory role to a construction role.

Edwin Empinado, who is also coun-cil’s representative on the housing com-mittee and moved for the amending of the original committee’s terms of reference at the meeting, said that he wouldn’t favour tabling the motion because with the com-mittee’s success in 2012 in completing a

Housing Needs Assess-ment, nothing would be gained by waiting.

“We won’t be mov-ing forward in solving issues in the commu-nity, if the motion is tabled,” he said.

Empinado noted that the mandate of the committee right now is not to develop projects

but to investigate needs, which limits their ability to get concrete actions done.

“We cannot even access grants. We can just ask around about how many apart-ments are rented, how many are vacant...we cannot move on. So we need to amend, really, so they can move on and move for-ward in order to respond to social issues,” he added.

But Mayor Joanne Monaghan, a found-ing member of the committee nearly four

years ago, expressed grief over the lack of progress on housing from the committee.

“I have seen very, very little happening. They say they’re going to do it but nothing ever happens and that’s one of the reasons I put this motion forward, to say that we need people who understand the build-ing and that aspect of it,” she said. “They talk about it every month, every couple of weeks but nothing ever gets done because they haven’t really focused. We need a fo-cus group.”

Margaret Warcup, who is the housing committee chair, said that’d it’d be unfor-tunate if there was to be two overlapping committees.

“To appoint two committees, our thought was, well then, who are you going to put on the other one, are we both going to be doing the same work?” said Warcup. “It needs a lot more discussion before we start another meeting.”

Continued from page 1“Initially the proj-

ect, when we first came, was geared more towards Killer Whales and we started to no-tice all these hump-back whales,” added Wray.

“Every year we noticed the population growing and growing.”

She said that be-tween 2004 and 2009, the number of hump-backs, which started at 42 in 2004, had dou-bled.

The report led the researchers to a few key conclusions.

The first and most obvious, of course, is proof that there are a lot of whales in the area, which is encour-aging for the species’ overall recovery.

The other is the realization that Gil Is-land, researchers see now, is important, like-ly primarily as a food

source for the whales, said Picard.

“There seems to be a particular richness in this area, because com-pared to other parts of the coast, whales are far more abundant in the area where we studied.”

Wray adds that there could be a so-cial connection for the whales as well which brings them out.

“The amount of singing that occurs between humpback whales in the fall has also increased,” she said. “And I think right now it’s relatively quiet, this is a place they can come, com-municate freely, they can find their prey easily by using sound because the ocean is so quiet through these channels.”

Underlying these findings, of course, is the threat that tanker

traffic could have on populations.

“Certainly part of the reason we did our study was keeping in mind the proposed de-velopments that would increase shipping traffic,” said Picard. “As many people are aware, increasing ship-ping traffic does pres-ent potential problems for whales in terms of the noise pollution.”

“Then of course there’s oil spills. Oil spills damage all parts of the environment and whales are no excep-tions,” he added.

That damage comes from the contact with whales directly and to their food sup-ply, he said.

With such a con-centration of whales, researchers also point to the potential of whale strikes against ships.

Researchers are

meanwhile beginning to see a bigger pic-ture relating to the fin whales as well, a rela-tive of humpbacks.

The second largest mammal in the world, said Picard, fin whales are seeing a growing abundance in the area, which is actually pe-culiar because they’re known to be more open ocean whales.

“I’m particularly curious to find out what it is about these waters that makes them

so productive,” he said.Wray is equally

excited about learning more as well.

“There’s a big fin whale story going on here. That’s pretty huge.”

Meanwhile re-searchers continue to collect information, and Wray said she’ll be looking at the social relationship of whales in the area, as well as monitoring the surviv-al of calves after they leave their mothers.

Housing

Northern Sentinel, Wednesday, September 25, 2013 3

The Kitimat Housing Resource Project posted to their Facebook page recently a good news / bad news situation. The good news is that they’re told from landlords that the housing sit-uation could slightly loosen from its cur-rent levels at any time. The bad news is that the housing situation reflects zero vacancy at lo-cal apartment build-ings.

Out of a list of eight apartment complexes, all were reporting no avail-able units as of Sep-tember.

The vacancy reflects only apart-ment buildings, and not any other kind of units, like rental houses and second-ary suites.

In the ongoing ac-tivities which aim to celebrate Kitimat’s 60 years of incorporation, the District of Kitimat is sponsoring a Youth Film Face-Off.

Anyone between the ages of 13 and 18 are welcome to submit their film by October 4.

The videos people can submit are asked to be about “Your Kiti-mat,” and the commit-tee is looking for work that shares a personal vision of Kitimat.

To entice would-be directors, $1,500 in prizes are being offered for winning submis-sions.

If enough entries are received a Youth Film Fest may be held.

Details on how to enter are at the Dis-trict’s website at www.kitimat.ca, or people can call Bryna Kaines at 250-632-8910.

The 60th anniver-sary committee will judge the entires based on entertainment value, technical merit and the message portrayed.

Kitimat was incor-porated on March 31, 1953, and to celebrate its 60th year, Council appointed a committee to organize activities.

Here are a few different ways to be green this fall:• Keep back-to-school green by reusing old school supplies like binders and backpacks. Using re-usable containers to pack lunches is a good idea as well.• Rake up the leaves that fall in your yard rather than a leaf blower to help conserve energy. Raking is also a great workout!• Using leaves in your compost is a great alternative to throwing them away.

Tips for a Greener Fall

Seiichi Tsurumi with Mitsubishi, a major partner in the LNG Canada proposal, talks about the project at a Chamber of Commerce meeting last Tuesday.

Highlights of LNG Canada5,500 people anticipated needed for constructionCameron Orr

Some involved in the LNG Canada project — the liquefied natural gas plan proposal headed by Shell Canada — spoke to the business community in Kitimat last week, in an information update hosted by the Kitimat Chamber of Commerce.

Co-presenting were Jane Newlands, manager of community and aboriginal affairs, and Seiichi Tsurumi, stakeholder affairs for Mitsubishi, a ma-jor partner in the LNG Canada proposal.

Among the details explained over the lunch is that the company is hoping that by 2015 they’ll have cleared the regulatory and environmental hurdles, clearing the way for construction to wrap up in 2020.

LNG Canada expects a construction work-force of 5,500 people for the project, a sizeable amount of people to settle. Newlands told the at-tendees that the company is looking at different ways to house the workers, including possibly making use of Rio Tinto Alcan’s own work camp which is in place for the modernization project. That camp is currently set to peak at 1,672 work-ers for that project.

Other housing options are also being explored but those were not explained in detail at the event.

Meanwhile, Tsurumi explained the proj-ect, which includes a much larger footprint than Methanex’s former site, where the plant is pro-posed to be built. LNG Canada’s land extends south to where they hope to acquire Eurocan’s former wharf, which is currently owned by Rio Tinto Alcan.

He overviewed the process of liquifying natu-ral gas — which involves cooling the gas to -162C — and shipping the product, which happens on double-hulled tankers, which has been the stan-dard since the 1960s.

He said the plant will be quite safe to the community.

“The LNG storage tanks are a very, very ro-bust construction. I might point out that Japan has 27 LNG import terminals, and each of those

terminals have storage tanks that will be very similar to what you’ll have in Kitimat,” he said. He continued that despite two large earthquakes in recent memory to areas where these terminals exist, there was no reported damage to any LNG storage tank.

“We have great confidence in these designs,” he added.

He said that once all four trains of the plant are online — a train is “LNG speak” for, essen-tially, a production line — the Douglas Channel may see about 350 tankers in a year.

He said combined with the Kitimat LNG project proposal — that one is a joint venture be-tween Chevron and Apache — there could be 500 tankers a year in the channel.

The responsibility of shipping, he said, would be on the buyer.

“The cargo is in the hands of the buyer once it’s loaded on the ship. So the buyers will be re-sponsible for shipping the gas,” he said.

Meanwhile he touted the benefits of develop-ment projects like these in Canada, which he said is an ideal country and makes him confident that LNG Canada will accept a final investment deci-sion at the conclusion of environmental reviews, expected around 2015.

“Out there, there are many competing sources of LNG but we believe Canada brings to the game a stable nation, lots of natural gas to export, and relative closeness across the Pacific Ocean to the far eastern markets. These are advantages that any buyer would appreciate,” he said. “I think there are enough buyers out there for all our four trains.”

If the project remains on its current schedule, it’s anticipated that the first LNG train will start running at around 2020.

Weeber rememberedLast week news

broke of the passing of long-serving New Ha-zelton Councillor Pi-eter Weeber Sr.

The news drew reaction from Kiti-mat Mayor Joanne Monaghan, who knew Pieter well during her years as vice-chair and chair at the Regional District of Kitimat-Sti-kine.

Pieter was a long-serving council ap-pointee to the regional district.

“I could always count on him to have rational thoughts and think things through. He didn’t have knee jerk reactions,” said Monaghan. “It’s a great loss because we’ve lost someone who really thought things through and...had people as his first concern.”

Weeber wrote a let-

ter to his constituents just before his passing, speaking highly of his community and family.

He signed off saying that everyone should always stand up for what they believe in and to stay involved.

“My advice to you all (if you have the stones) is to stand up for what you believe in, get involved in your community, don’t hold a grudge and support your children because they will be running the place when us old folks are gone,” he wrote.

“The LNG storage tanks are very, very robust

construction.”

The noisy Robert Redford v Premier Allison Redford debate on the future status of the Al-berta oil sands and the Keystone Pipeline project to deliver heavy oil from Alberta to Texas Gulf Coast re� neries is the latest ex-change of high-pro� le opposing opinion over the long-running efforts by Alberta to open new markets for its immense oil re-serves.

I’m never sure why fading Holly-wood “stars” like Redford step up to the plate with such � erce criticism of another country’s economic develop-ment scenarios, particularly when their own country’s reputation for environ-mental protection from polluting heavy industry is far from pristine.

All I know is that when well known personalities like veteran ac-tor Redford dives into the pool of high level criticism of another nation’s eco-nomic development plans, his personal pro� le opens “a can of worms” the least of which is charge of hypocrisy and a great deal of backlash (or sup-port) from a wide range of people who either share or oppose his views.

Premier Redford was quick to � re back, as was Canada’s Resource Min-ister, Joe Oliver.

The media reaction over� owed, with Alberta-based media leading

the way with some vitriolic response. Typical was Calgary Herald writer Mi-chael Platt, in the Calgary Sun: An-other week, another wrinkled celebrity hypocrite trying to atone for a life of extravagance by bashing Alberta’s oil industry. Seven days ago, it was Neil Young rocking his ignorance by com-paring Fort McMurray to Hiroshima. And now, in what’s proving to be a banner season for old millionaires frothing with self-righteousness, Rob-ert Redford has taken his own swipe at the bitumen industry — the second such go-round for the actor, who once starred in The Sting as con-man John-ny Hooker.”

Robert Redford, however is inter-nationally better known than Allison Redford, Michael Platt or Joe Oliver, so his critical video and comments on the oil sands gets overall wider media play, by a long shot.

But he � nds himself an open tar-get for others involved in the debate.

Among them I reference in par-ticular, a Canadian and an Albertan public becoming increasingly aware that their economic future - and their lifestyle - is at risk as the oil and gas industry struggles to � nd a bet-ter way to present its products to a wider world.

Canadians, as a whole, are split - I don’t know if its down the middle - or whether there’s a larger percent-

age of Canadians more interested in the contribution of a well run and well-performing resource energy industry to Canada’s economy.

This is certainly more critical as we see the predicted shrinking work-force, pressure on pensions, health and welfare services, accompanied by the needs of a baby-boom surge of retirees from coast to coast.

It’s also critical to British Colum-bia where the federal government and the provincial government are seeking the support of the dubious populace to develop a major north coast energy industry with LNG and oil pipelines across the province and into Vancou-ver, in the face of a loud and energetic swath of opposition from the a large cross-section of the public, First Na-tions and even numerous communities that have declared direct opposition to such ventures.

Great Gatsby weighs in on oil sands

Getting schooledWell depending on who you ask, either young

people today have their pick of work, or, the mar-ket is competitive and marked with employment uncertainty.

Well, to be fair, there isn’t quite the confusion I’m indicating with that opening paragraph.

But I’m just reacting to an e-mail I just re-ceived from the Certi� ed General Accountants BC association, which says that while young workers are boasting record high levels of post-secondary education, many lack the skills that are actually in demand.

“However, many post-secondary graduates are lacking the necessary credentials for these occupa-tions, and for those seeking a job outside the trades or professions where de� cits exist, it is dif� cult to � nd a good entry-level job,” Richard Rees is quoted as saying in the news release. He’s the CEO of ICABC, or the Institute of Chartered Accountants BC.

Bringing my own experiences into this, whether it was a lack of attention on my part that was the cause (very possibly!) but when I was on my way out of high school I didn’t have a � rm grasp on the employment demands of the day.

I followed my interests, rather than playing the employment � eld for what was in demand. (In retro-spect perhaps I should have majored in being a soft-ware design genius and invented a social network.)

So I can understand in my own way how there could be so many educated people out there, edu-cated in the wrong � elds.

We’re promised work, but in some way the kind of work needed isn’t being communicated.

That’s among the many challenges that the BC Liberals are saying they’re going to look to tackle throughout the fall.

LNG will be the behind-the-scenes headliner for government ministries as they seek to � gure out a tax scheme for the projects, as well as � guring out skills training.

That process will include information gathering on what jobs will be needed by all major projects to the end of the decade, or beyond.

Of course it may have been nice if the labour question at least could have been answered earlier than the fall, the season new students begin their studies and embark on their wonderful academic adventure.

Not to say there may not be jobs for English majors after graduation (it worked for me) but if the labour demands could be spelled out plainly, those looking for the best training for future employment can make better choices.

Otherwise we’ll just have to wait until enrolment next fall. And that’s one more year behind.

Continued from page 4Robert Redford, I truly think,

deserves much of the “hypocrite” ap-pellation hung on him, but I also think he represents a segment of the Ameri-can energy industry more interested in isolating Canadian oil and gas re-sources, and identifying it as “plan B” when the US finally exhausts its own resources. Declarations of a new long term oil and gas independence, I take with a grain of ocean salt. To me it’s still a race and the Americans are uncomfortable about Canada’s oil going elsewhere for better dollars.

I don’t accept Premier Redford’s dismissal and exclusion of her name-sake’s views based on his interna-

tional jet-setting, that’s weak and ineffective.

She must focus on working with her province’s key industry to im-prove its safety performance, with the federal government to improve the country’s confidence that the ben-efits to provincial and national econ-omies are real and provable and that all possible environmental impacts are reduced to an absolute minimum.

That will do more to meet the concerns of Canadians and others not prepared to take the oil sands compa-nies at their word that their contribu-tion to global warming or their dan-ger to Mr. Redford’s “great northern forests” is not what critics claim.

Getting lost in the big trade fair called life

Luke 19:2: (Jesus said), “For the Son of Man has come to seek and save the lost.”

Have you ever lost something and then found it again?

Well, one time my wife’s family was at a trade show in the Max Bell center in Calgary. Joyce announced that she had to go to the washroom, and so I was in charge of the kids.

Well, as it hap-pened I got distracted by an exhibit for a couple of seconds, and when I looked down for our three-year-old daughter, she was gone. I can’t really de-scribe to you how that felt. I panicked! Joyce panicked too when she got back and we began a frantic search. We enlisted the help of security and everyone began looking for our daughter.

We looked for what seemed like a half an hour with no results, and we really began to despair, when all of a sudden over the loud-speaker system came the sweetest words I have ever heard, “Could Mr. And Mrs. Magnus please come to the security desk…we have your daughter.”

Panic turned to re-

lief and joy, as we were once again re-u n i t e d with her. Turns out she went to a booth across the aisle, and then realizing she was lost, she began wan-dering aimlessly in the crowds looking for us until a security guard spotted her and res-cued her.

Lost. That is the spiritual condition of all who are outside the protection of our Sav-ior Jesus Christ.

Isaiah tells us, “All we like sheep have gone astray, we have turned each one to his own way.”

Like sheep we nibble from one tuft of security, to the next tuft of acquisition, to another tuft of standard of living until we real-ize we are lost.

Sadly many people go their whole lives not even knowing they are lost, but Jesus said, “I have come to seek and to save the lost.”

In our lost condi-tion we cannot save ourselves. We are like a small child stumbling around a trade show.

We need to be res-cued. God’s Son, Jesus

Christ, is God’s plan of rescue for you and for me.

He came and gave His perfect life on the cross as the ransom for your sin and mine, so that by acknowledging our helpless condition and believing in Him as our Lord and Sav-ior, we are saved from being lost forever, and instead we are brought under the care and pro-tection of our Good Shepherd where we will live in the house of the Lord forever. And what is the reaction in Heaven when a lost soul is saved?

In Luke 15:10 Je-sus says, “Just so, I tell you there is great joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”

As a loving Father, it causes our Heavenly Father great distress when one of His chil-dren is lost; but that sorrow turns to great joy when a lost soul is rescued through faith in Christ.

I can relate to that.Amen.

Hospital temperature a hot topic in the summer

On a few occasions readers have relayed to us their experiences at the Kitimat General Hos-pital and Health Centre in terms of temperature control.

Namely, the temperature is for some not often at the proper level for anyone’s comfort during the summer.

The Sentinel spoke with the hospital adminis-trator Jonathan Cooper to explain how the hospi-tal’s air condition works and what people should do if they’re not satisfied with the cool air.

He said that technicians on site operate the air conditioning units, and they work during the week from 6 a.m. to around 8 p.m. at night, and work 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on weekends.

“Our concern is to keep comfort to a reason-able level in the building,” Cooper explained. “Like any other system we do have issues that requires maintenance...occasionally there’s inter-ruptions to the service but obviously we keep that to a minimum.”

He points out that there could be certain cli-ents in the hospital, such as elderly people, who are more sensitive to cold temperatures who might have comfort issues.

Technicians however are on-call after hours as well, and Cooper said staff may come back in if there are issues with the temperature in the build-ing.

As for why technicians have to be in charge of the units, he said it’s about accountability.

“It’s just a question of being accountable for the equipment and being trained how to use the equipment, and to monitor if there are any prob-lems. Obviously the engineers are trained to do that, to be responsible for the system,” he said.

Air conditioning is, however, only a part of their overall job duties, he added.

Cooper said that if people have any concerns about the temperature in the hospital then they should bring it up to on-site engineers or recep-tion, and the issue will be looked at.

Permit granted

Overwaitea Foods sought and received a development permit for their Mountainview Square grocery store.

Development per-mits are required for new buildings, or proj-ects that will change the exterior of a build-ing.

Overwaitea is planning to repaint the building, and add three windows on the south facing wall. (The one which faces the RCMP detachment.)

Downtown Design Panel members were supportive of the ap-plication and no com-ments were received from landowners and business owners in the area.

It looks a little shallow now, but this dome will eventually be part of a 40 foot water reservoir. The District of Kitimat had to build the new structure after their original wood stave tank began succumbing to age. The total cost of the project is $750,000, inclusive of a $67,000 contingency fund. The previous wood stave tank was isolated from the water system following a partial collapse in 2011.District of Kitimat photo.

Possible CUPE strike gets avertedAnna Killen

Coast Mountains School Dis-trict (CMSD) board chair Art Eras-mus says the district is pleased a school strike by district school sup-port workers has been averted – and that the district will “make it work.”

The Canadian Union of Pub-

lic Employees (CUPE), represents 27,000 K-12 school support work-ers across the province.

The agreement, which still needs to be ratified by all parties, provides union members with a 3.5 per cent wage increase over two years

Submitted“The hottest guitar ensem-

ble in Canada” (CBC) is com-ing to Kitimat to kick off the Kitimat Concert Association’s 2013/14 season. The Montreal Guitare Trio, also known as MG3, will be in town on Sep-tember 28 at Mount Elizabeth Theatre, to display their world-renowned talents.

The talented trio has criss-crossed the world over the past four years, bringing their diverse collection of musical styles to countries as far away as Denmark and Australia. They have entertained in clubs as famous as New York’s BB King Blues Club and Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw. Most famously, they won the 2011 Opus Prize for concert of the year in the Jazz/World Music category.

They have created four albums (Cambria to be released this fall) all of which display their uniquely diverse influences. On some songs, they cross Ar-

gentinian Flamenco with Cuban Music. On others they combine Nordic music, Brazilian Samba, and Progressive Rock. On still others, the Orient blends seam-lessly with modern pop.

Kitimatians can expect to be treated not only to some fa-miliar covers performed with unique flair like While My Gui-tar Gently Weeps (check out the video on YouTube) but also to

some dazzling originals from their own collection like Surf sur l’Orient. As if MG3’s musi-cal prowess is not enough, we can expect even more amuse-ment as these three know how to thrill an audience with infec-tious good humour.

Tickets can be purchased in advance at Hollywood Video or bought at the door. The concert begins at 8 p.m.


Montreal trio set to entertain

Angela Beaudry and her husband Heber Gray. Angela is hoping for donations of travel points to get her to her family in Winnipeg.

A call out for pointsAn area woman

is seeking charitable people to donate trav-el points in the hopes that she can get to see her family for Christ-mas.

Angela Beaudry spends three days a week, for the past 13 years, getting dialysis treatments in Terrace, and has been unable to see her family in Winnipeg for nine

years.Her condition is

the result of compli-cations from kidney stone treatments.

Her return home would provide two benefits; one, that she’d connect with family who she has fallen out of contact with. And two, she’d try to source a kidney match from within her family for a pos-

sible transplant.In order to be able

to make it to Winni-peg though she’s hop-ing some people can help her out. Friends have already pitched some of their own Air Miles, but she hasn’t quite reached her goal.

If you think you can help her out, she welcomes phone calls to 250-632-2513.

Public NoticeMunicipal Liability Insurance Claims

Section 288 of the Local Goverment Act states that municipalities are not liable in any action based on nuisance where the damages arise, directly or indirectly, out of the breakdown or malfunction of a sewer system, a water or drainage facility or system, or a dike or road. Nuisance actions are defined as instances in which a home is damaged as a result of a sewer, drainage or water system, or roadway or dike, breaking down and malfunctioning.

For instance, it could be a basement covered by several inches of water stemming from a drainage system being jammed by someone dumping garbage into a municipal ditch, or it may be a home filled with backed up sewage.

Residents are cautioned to take steps to protect their property and are strongly urged to review their insurance policy with their individual brokers to ensure adequate coverage in the event of a nuisance claim.

Chevron Canada invites you to attend a Community Open House on the Clio Bay Restoration Project

Chevron invites you to learn more about the proposed Clio Bay Marine Life Restoration Project.

This proposed project would see Chevron excavate marine clay from the Kitimat LNG construction site at Bish Cove and work closely with the Federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans to deposit this natural material in specifi c locations in Clio Bay. The clay will cap-off decaying wood debris left by historic log booming operations that has accumulated on the bottom of Clio Bay, damaging the Bay’s natural ecosystem. A key goal of the project is to restore natural marine life populations in Clio Bay.

Come and share your thoughts and ideas with us and learn more about this innovative restoration project.

Addendum on Robinson RidgeThe Kitimat

Snowmobile and Hik-ers Club’s President Chad Fournier wanted to emphasize addi-tional details to the Sentinel’s September 11 article on the work to be undertaken at Robinson Ridge.

First, all the cur-rent efforts for the

acquisition of grants, and the execution of the Clague and Rob-inson Ridge Improve-ment Projects have been in collaboration with the District’s Leisure Services De-partment, and Recre-ation Sites and Trails BC.

Also, he wanted

to clarify that the new boardwalk sec-tions and BC Parks approved back coun-try toilet, installed on Clague, was done by Recreation Sites and Trails BC.

Now that they’re installed, the club will be responsible for maintaining them.
