Big blaze…

MARGARET SPEIRS / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Three of the 16 units at Skeena Kalum Housing complex on Haugland Ave. burned up in the early morning hours of Aug. 5. All 38 residents had to leave because the power had to be shut off. Emergency services housed them all for 72 hours. The cause of the blaze wasn’t known but it did start on the outside of the building, said Terrace fire chief John Klie. Two vehicles parked underneath were completely destroyed also. A facebook page, Community Relief for Families of the Fire, has been set up to help with financial donations and donations of household items and clothes.

1.5M sockeye bound for fouled Quesnel LakeBy Jeff NagelTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

QUESNEL - An estimated 1.5 million migrating Fraser River sockeye salmon are destined for Quesnel Lake, which has now been contaminated by the Mount Polley mine tailings pond spill.

The Quesnel system sockeye make up a major portion of what’s hoped to be a record run this year, said Craig Orr, executive director of the Watershed Watch Salmon Society.

“This is one of the greatest en-vironmental disasters we’ve had on the Fraser,” Orr said. “Some of the effluent will be getting in the Fraser. The big question is how concentrated, how harmful it will be. Some of these compounds have short term impacts and some have much longer term impacts.”

While the Quesnel Lake stocks are among the Fraser’s most abundant, Orr is particu-

larly concerned that other much weaker stocks that spawn in other tributaries of the Fraser could be harmed.

“People have to be concerned about not just what it means for the returning fish but for the ju-veniles rearing in the lake right now,” he said. “We don’t know if it’s going to accumulate in their bodies or potentially affect their olfactions, their ability to find their home waters.”

Resident fish at risk include threatened bull trout and plenti-ful rainbow trout. At a news con-ference in Likely, Imperial Metals president Brian Kynoch said the water in the pond is tested with rainbow trout, and its arsenic level is one fifth of the limit for drink-ing water. He described the efflu-ent as “relatively benign.”

The huge spill of tailings and water tore down Hazeltine Creek, which is where endangered Inte-rior coho salmon are supposed to

spawn in a few weeks. Gord Sterritt, executive di-

rector of the Upper Fraser Fish-eries Conservation Alliance, said the group, which represents 23 First Nations from Williams Lake to the Fraser’s headwaters, had already raised concerns that planned releases of effluent into the creek by mine operator Impe-rial Metals might harm the coho.

Chinook salmon also spawn near the outlet of Quesnel Lake at the Quesnel River.

“Those fish will be holding or just about to enter the spawn-ing grounds pretty quick,” Ster-ritt said. “We’re pretty concerned about what the toxic elements are going to do those fish. And then there’s the scouring of the debris pile that is potentially going to be moving down the lake and into the river.” Contamination that reaches the mainstem Fraser could affect fish spawning hundreds of kilo-metres away, such as in Stuart

Lake near Fort St. James.Sterritt said he’s fielding calls

from First Nations as far down-stream as Lillooet that are alarmed about the potential impact on their food fisheries.

Kynoch said the pond water nearly meets drinking water stan-dards and the main threat to fish is from the silt, which he said is set-tling rapidly.

Sto:lo fishery advisor Ernie Crey said there remains wide-spread concern in aboriginal com-munities. “Eventually, this stuff will wend its way into the Fraser,” he said.

Orr noted the spill came just three days after provincial govern-ment approval of the new KSM gold mine near the headwaters of the Nass River. The KSM project, near the Alaska border at Stewart, includes tunnels to carry ore 23 km away for processing and ship-ping, to satisfy Alaska’s concerns about fisheries and tourism.

WatCo backer questions council motives, integrityBy Shaun ThomasTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT- One of the fi-nancial backers of the Watson Is-land Development Corporation (WatCo) is publicly questioning the motives of the City of Prince Ru-pert for entering into an exclusivity agreement with Watson Island LNG (WILNG).

Jason Youn Kim, CEO of Glob-al Resources and Energy Enterpris-es, says there are several reasons the agreement with WILNG doesn’t make any sense, not the least of which is the ongoing court case be-tween WatCo and the city over a failed sale of the site.

While WILNG was incorpo-rated in April, Kim noted the part-ners involved in WatCo include such recognized names as CN Rail, Samsung and Hyundai. That type of support makes it a more viable developer for the former pulp mill site, he claims.

“The financing is in place as are the markets; we have the support of the Korean government and have a remediation plan in place with a recognized company standing by to start the cleanup on short notice ... as a point of interest, the president of South Korea, Park Guen Hye, is coming to B.C. in September to discuss LNG. She will be accom-panied by the president of Sam-sung and Hyundai, which are also members of our consortium, and will be meeting with Premier Chris-ty Clark,” he wrote in a letter to the Northern View, outlining some of

the plans for the site.“WatCo ... a credible interna-

tional consortium with a track re-cord was organized to not only de-velop Watson Island with a large LNG plant but to include other products and a bulk terminal to ex-port goods such as torrefied biofu-els that will help replace coal and other commodities such as petro-leum coke.”

Kim said another reason the city should have stayed with WatCo is the certainty it creates as it relates to

First Nations in the region. “Watson Island is the subject of

First Nations land claims that stand a very good chance to succeed after the Supreme Court ruling on First Nations claims ... WatCo has al-ready brought the First Nations into the project as full partners who will continue to own the island while having a large stake in the project itself, which will help First Nations communities for years to come,” he wrote.

While questioning why the

specifics of the agreement with WILNG are not being released, Kim accused Prince Rupert city council of “playing games with the futures of Prince Rupert, its citi-zens, the First Nations or anyone else” by signing an agreement with an upstart company.

“How can the mayor be so con-fident this proposal is so good that he’s ready to give the proponent carte blanche with the future of the community? Personally, I am very suspicious of council’s motivation

here,” he wrote, adding that the city now has a credibility issue.

“A real problem of its own mak-ing now facing the current council is, given its actions with WatCo, can it be trusted to honour any contract with anyone from this time for-ward?”

Prince Rupert Mayor Jack Mus-sallem declined to comment on the concerns raised by Kim as the dis-pute between the City of Prince Ru-pert and WatCo remains before the courts.

The decision to strike an exclusivity agreement with an upstart LNG firm is not sitting well with one backer of the Watson Island Develop-ment Corp.

Fraser Street zoning a hot topic at Prince Rupert councilBy Martina PerryTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Prince Rupert City Council decided restrictions in place for Prince Rupert’s downtown core won’t be implemented on parts of Fraser Street last week, as sug-gested by city staff.

While conducting an inventory of off-street parking spaces, it was noticed that several properties along the south and east sides of Fraser Street had not been included in the Downtown Development Permit Area (DPA) boundary.

The DPA was put in place in 2009 to help implement the vision of the Quality of Life Official Com-munity Plan for a “vibrant, compact, mixed use downtown with a high quality of urban design”.

However Fraser Street property owners had some concerns with the idea, like James West of Jim West Signs.

“I can see absolutely no benefits to this amendment for myself,” he

said. “As far as I can see, I’m going to

be forced to adhere to unnecessary regulations,” West also said.

The inclusion would mean more restrictions on the outside of the properties, but city planner Zeno Krekic said the only additional cost to owners would be if they wanted to renovate their building’s exterior, as DPA guidelines require owners to apply for a development permit ap-plication. Krekic noted that permits for work costing less than $5,000 are $60, with anything over costing about $235.

“If the individual is going to do $150,000 renovation, obviously the $200 isn’t going to be a hardship. I don’t see where anyone is being pe-nalized,” said Coun. Gina Garon.

Coun. Barry Cunningham said he isn’t concerned with the fee of the permit but the price of the higher quality materials that must be used within the DPA. Cunningham, along with Coun. Anna Ashley, said there should be provisions to alleviate the

cost of materials for non-profit groups.

“The large number of non-profit organiza-tions that are down there that are always scroung-ing for money, and this is going to impact their bot-tom line,” Cunningham said.

“I think it’s going to impact them consid-erably in the next few years. They’re all old, tired buildings and they’re going to need a lot of work done on them.”

But Garon said the primary rea-son for the Downtown DPA was to increase the appearance of the down-town core, and put all businesses on an even playing field. She said if the city wants the area to become part of the downtown core, it needs to look like the rest of it.

But both West and Christina Nelson of the Fishermen’s Hall said Fraser Street isn’t comparable to Second and Third Avenue.

Nelson noted that the park beside the hall isn’t maintained by the city, that the sidewalks aren’t shov-elled in the winters, and there are no banners, flow-er boxes or hanging bas-kets like the rest of down-town.

“It certainly seems like it’s off the grid,” she said.

West pointed out that the road, sidewalk and infrastructure on Fraser

Street aren’t the same standard as the rest of downtown, which was Mayor Jack Mussallem’s reason for oppos-ing the amendment.

“It’s not that it’s a matter of the non-profits, it’s a matter of that street needing a lot of repairs before it can look like the rest of downtown and really join it,” he said.

Garon noted that under the cur-rent zoning owners trying to sell their property must find a buyer who wants to have the same use.

“Being that you can’t change

that use, this puts it into a field where they have the ability to sell their building and the use can change,” she said.

But for West, who said he has no intentions of selling anytime soon, he’s more concerned with the possi-bility of more taxes.

“I was told this will probably in-crease the value of my property ... but if your property increase, it’s go-ing to be reassessed and I’m going to be paying more city municipal tax-es,” he said.

“In my opinion, development permit area design guidelines will improve the value of the properties in the long run. As of present time, if this changes it won’t have any ef-fects on taxes. Taxes are not set by development permit area, they’re set by assessments,” said Krekic.

In the end the amendment was defeated, with only Garon voting in favour. Coun. Joy Thorkelson ex-cused herself from the discussion, as she is involved with the Fishermen’s Hall.

“I can see absolutely no benefits to this amendment.”

Kitimat given age-friendly grantBy Cameron OrrTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - The provincial gov-ernment through the BC Healthy Communities Society and the Ministry of Health has named Kitimat, among seven other com-munities, an age-friendly one, earning $1,000 towards creating a legacy project or celebration. The others were Anmore, Cobble Hill, Granisle, Kent, Telkwa, Vancou-ver and Vanderhoof.

To achieve Age-friendly BC Recognition, according to the government release, communities must complete four steps. includ-

ing establishing an advisory com-mittee, passing a local govern-ment resolution, conducting an age-friendly assessment and de-veloping and publishing an action plan. The participation of local se-niors also is required and is an in-tegral part of this process.

Kitimat doesn’t have a single age-friendly action plan but the grant proposal from the District included references to a number of plans from over the years that dealt with being age-friendly.

That includes a 2001 Aging in Place report, Kitimat’s Hous-ing Needs Assessment report and Better at Home assessment of the

Kitimat and Terrace area.The Age-friendly BC Recog-

nition program is a partnership between the BC Healthy Com-munities Society and the Min-istry of Health and is part of the provincial Age-friendly BC strat-egy.

The committee’s chairperson Mary Murphy said they work with stakeholders such as United Way, the Seniors Centre and Northern Health, among others.

The group has noted some ar-eas of need including a mentoring program, community gardens, co-housing initiatives and a handy-man program.

Nisga’a ink deals with provinceBy Anna Killen THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

NEW AIYANSH - Indus-try looking to do business on Nisga’a lands can now do so with more certainty following the signing of a series of agree-ments between the Nisga’a Li-sims Government (NLG) and the province of British Colum-bia, say officials from both gov-ernments.

Hailed as a “significant milestone” in the relation-ship between the NLG and the province, the agreements, signed during a ceremony at the Nisga’a legislative assembly in New Aiyansh July 31, advance Nisga’a treaty implementation and lay out a framework for fu-ture economic benefits for the Nisga’a Nation.

One agreement signed by NLG president Mitchell Ste-vens and aboriginal affairs min-ister John Rustad at the ceremo-ny enables the NLG to collect property taxes from Nisga’a and non-Nisga’a citizens who live on Nisga’a lands and have taxing authority over industri-al installations, like pipelines, which pass through Nisga’a lands.

“We now occupy the tax room, through the agreement, that B.C. occupied,” said Ste-vens at the official signing, call-ing it “a very significant step in the history of the province of B.C. and the Nisga’a Nation.”

The Nisga’a Real Property Tax Coordination Agreement, which still requires legislation from both governments to bring its terms into effect, is a pledge that solidifies one track of pro-vincial and Nisga’a discussions following the 2000 Nisga’a Final Agreement, which con-tained within it a commitment from all parties to negotiate a taxation agreement.

While taxation talks had started and stalled over the years, “with the LNG (liquefied natural gas) opportunities and the LNG pipeline opportuni-ties, it was timely to get it com-pleted,” said Rustad, speaking afterwards.

The agreements signed al-low the Nisga’a “to be able to show to industry the certain-ty that they have if they want to consider doing business on Nisga’a lands,” said Rustad. “Whether that be a pipeline or whether that be a facility of some kind ... this allows them now to say here’s the rules, here’s what it will look like, here’s the certainty that you need to come do business with us.”

Mitchell indicated that stems from the strength of the Nisga’a Final Agreement.

“The Nisga’a Final Agree-ment was signed to provide certainty and those people that want to invest $30, 40 billion in this province to come through Nisga’a Lisims territory under-stand the certainty this docu-ment provides,” said Stevens.

Negotiated with federal and provincial governments, the Nisga’a Final Agreement contains provisions which the Nisga’a say ensures that any in-dustrial development that takes place on Nisga’a lands must both respect the rights of ab-original people and protect the environment.

“When any type of devel-opment is to proceed on this land we’ve been very consistent that we would not trade off the rights and interests of Nisga’a citizens for economic develop-ment,” said Stevens.

“All development in our ter-ritory must be consistent with the Nisga’a Final Agreement,” he continued.

To that end, the Nisga’a and the province also signed off on a settlement agreement which resolves the dispute over the environmental assessment of Avanti Mining’s Kitsault Mine

project.The Nisga’a formally op-

posed the provincial govern-ment’s environmental approv-al for Avanti granted last year, saying it didn’t follow the pro-visions within the Nisga’a Final Agreement.

It first used a provision in the final agreement to resolve disagreements and then filed a suit against the provincial gov-ernment.

That suit, however, was put on hold last fall, paving the way for a revenue sharing deal with Avanti, an agreement that in-cludes environmental protec-tion measures for its planned molybdenum mine at Kitsault.

The settlement agreement lays out a collaborative frame-work for future environment as-sessments and a “commitment to negotiate the Nass Steward-ship protocol, a government-to-government collaboration agreement that will help the Nisga’a Nation and B.C. work together to promote responsible natural resource management and development in a way that honours B.C.’s, and the Nisga’a Nation’s, responsibilities under the treaty,” reads a background document provided by the par-ties.

The Kitsault Mine Eco-

nomic and Community Devel-opment Agreement will enable the Nisga’a to further tap into taxation benefits from the Kit-sault mine, providing a 35 per cent share of provincial miner-al tax revenue from that mine’s projected 14 to 16 year opera-tion.

The parties have also agreed to work towards a simi-lar development agreement for future mining projects.

“Like anything, we want to see economic activity and eco-nomic opportunities brought forward, but also and probably more importantly, we want to make sure that treaty nations are successful and they have opportunities to fully engage in the economy and so this is a big piece for the Nisga’a and also for the province,” said Rustad.

Provincial environment minister Mary Polak, also pres-ent at the signing, said, “the Nisga’a Nation and the Envi-ronmental Assessment Office have been working side by side over the last year to develop a collaborative approach to en-vironmental assessments. By working together, we can de-liver predictable, effective and expeditious environmental as-sessments that meet the needs of both governments.”

Ottawa follows B.C.’s stepping stonesBy Tom FletcherTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

VICTORIA - The federal government has responded to the strengthening of aboriginal title in B.C. by following the province’s lead and focusing on resource use agreements rather than full-scale trea-ties that have been slow and expensive to negotiate.

A shift in federal policy was an-nounced Monday by Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Minister Ber-nard Valcourt, endorsing non-treaty and incremental treaty agreements such as B.C. has focused on in recent years.

Valcourt also appointed Vancouver lawyer Doug Eyford as a special advisor, to follow up on his advice to Ottawa last fall on developing West Coast oil and gas export projects.

B.C. Aboriginal Relations Minister John Rustad welcomed the change in fed-eral approach, describing resource agree-ments as “stepping stones to reconcilia-tion.

“We had been hoping the federal gov-

ernment would come to the table with things like our non-treaty agreements and our incremental approach to treaty for quite a few years,” Rustad said in an interview Tuesday. “That has been some-thing they’ve resisted, but now they’re going to come to the table with that, and we welcome that.”

B.C. recently signed its first liquefied natural gas resource sharing agreement for facilities proposed near Prince Rupert. On July 11, B.C. reached its 150th forest resource sharing agreement with the Sea-bird Island Band in the Fraser Valley, and has developed similar revenue deals for mining and hydroelectric projects.

Ottawa is also promising to restart fisheries talks that have been on hold since the Cohen Commission reported in 2012 on the health of Fraser River sock-eye salmon runs. The B.C. Treaty Com-mission has protested for years that Otta-wa’s foot-dragging has contributed to the slow pace of talks, with only four treaties completed since the three-way structure was set up in 1992.

Chief Commissioner Sophie Pierre

has warned of over-emphasis on resource agreements, with Ottawa and B.C. fo-cused on northern B.C. pipeline and en-ergy projects.

Rustad said there are resource proj-ects all over the province that can benefit, adding there will be new agreements an-nounced in the near future.

Valcourt’s announcement mirrors the main recommendations of Eyford’s re-port last fall. It called for “targeted efforts to build effective relationships, including refinements to Canada’s current approach to consultation and engagement, to ex-plore mutually beneficial initiatives that support reconciliation, and to encourage aboriginal communities to resolve shared territory issues.”Rustad said Ottawa is moving on Ey-ford’s recommendations, not in response to the landmark aboriginal title case de-cided in favour of the Tsilhqot’in Nation in June. The Supreme Court of Canada upheld Tsilhqot’in title to the Nemiah Valley west of Williams Lake, striking down provincial logging permits issued without aboriginal consent.

Hot August Nites lives up to nameBy Ed EvansTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Hot August Nites lived up to its billing as 30 plus degree weather shone on the Ter-race Airport track on the week-end.

Action was also hot on the track, with two Pro-Mods running 3/4 track burnouts before making their runs.

Perry Thyr in his 90’s Cam-ero did huge smokey burnouts all weekend and you de� nitely had to plug your ears when these two cars ran.

Wade Sojostrom in his Blown 57 chevy tore up the track on

Sunday and Monday. Sojostrom, made some wild runs down the track before hitting the MPH beams at the end of the track and damaging his front tire and crack-ing some � berglass on the front of the car on Mondays � nal run.

The stands were full Friday night as 40 plus cars participated in the popular Friday Night Street drags. The race was won by Ty-ler Morton and the runner up was Travis Ryerson.

Landfill expansion to cost millionsBy Martina PerryTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Extensive work at the Prince Rupert Land-� ll is underway.

An estimated $9.5 million in upgrades will be completed at the Prince Rupert Land� ll by the end of 2018, with the City of Prince Rupert picking up the tab for any portion not funded by grants.

Commissioned in 1991, the Prince Rupert Land� ll was given a lifespan of up to 100 years.

The land� ll receives more than 12,000 tonnes of waste per year, using more than 24,000 cubic me-tres of space. While this number was consistent for years, volumes have been growing recently be-cause of regional development, multiple residential home demoli-tions, an increase in home renova-tions, more stringent wood burning policies, and multiple commercial building � res. Staff has kept � lling within the leachate containment area causing the air space within the dump’s Phase 1 and Phase 2 footprint to become completely exhausted.

“As a result the land� ll has ris-en to a higher level than originally planned and during its operations the slopes have been constructed at steeper angles than speci� ed by the Ministry of Environment,” said Richard Pucci, the city’s engineer-ing coordinator.

To maintain compliance with the ministry and buy time until the Phase 3 footprint is ready for use, Sperling Hansen Associates, an engineering consulting � rm spe-cializing in solid waste manage-ment, recommended the city ex-pand the dump with buttress � lls starting with the east.The � rst part of the work on the east was com-pleted in spring with the creation of a berm road. The project cost the city $166,000, $113,000 more than Sperling Hansen Associates

had projected. But because the funds were taken from the depart-ment’s accruals, the overage won’t impact the city’s 2014 budget.

The next piece of work will be-gin this month when engineered liners and a collection system are constructed behind the berm to contain leachate and bring it to the treatment system. Pucci said this will cost $1.5 million with the En-gineering and Public Works De-partment recommending the funds be allocated from the city’s gas tax funds.

When the eastern buttress � ll is complete it will provide two years worth of anticipated land� ll capacity.

Work on the west expansion berm, pump station and liner will take place throughout the spring and summer of 2016 at an expect-ed overall cost of $2.2 million. This will provide capacity until the

end of 2017.During this time, $1.5 mil-

lion of work will be done to cre-ate Phase 3 of the land� ll and an-other $1.4 million will be spent to close the eastern portion of Phase 1 and 2. By 2018, Pucci said the city should be able to transition into the Phase 3 area, which is expected to provide approximately 54 years of capacity at the current residential waste intake rate. There is also an additional cell in the northern part of the permit area that has approxi-mately 35 years worth of air space.

The last of work schedule to take place at the dump is the clo-sure of Phase 1 and 2’s western portion, estimated at $1.3 million, and upgrading the leachate treat-ment system at a cost of approxi-mately $2 million as, currently, collected leachate discharged into the ocean is impacted by contami-nants.

Kitimat could hold referendum on MK Bay MarinaBy Cameron OrrTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - If Regional Dis-trict of Kitimat-Stikine Di-rector Doug McLeod can convince the rest of the board of the same, voters will have a say in a referendum regard-ing MK Bay Marina this No-vember.

McLeod gave a notice of motion last month for the next RDKS meeting which would tack a referendum question to the ballot when people vote for their rural

area representative.The District of Kitimat

council appoints one of their own to the board to represent local interests.

The question, if passed, would be “Are you in fa-vour of the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine retaining ownership of the MK Bay Marina? Yes/No.”

The motion will be put on the floor at the board’s August 8 meeting.

McLeod said he wanted public input because for over a decade most of the discus-

sions around MK Bay Mari-na have happened in-camera, meaning not publicly.

“The public has never had the opportunity to be in-volved in most of the discus-sions with regard to the ma-rina over the last 15 years,” said McLeod.

“All the discussions with regard to partnerships have taken place behind closed doors in-camera,” he contin-ued.

He said there’s other dis-cussions still happening be-hind closed doors too that

he’s not able to talk about.“The question that’s nev-

er been asked of the people who are mooring their boats down there and the peo-ple who launch their boats there...is whether or not they want to retain ownership,” he said.

He said he was spurred to make the motion — he has also put up other notice of motions for possible ref-erendum questions for No-vember, including Area C garbage collection and the proposed location for the

Forceman Ridge landfill — because he realized too much was happening in-camera during the July board meet-ing.

“The issue is we have a lot of people within the bu-reaucracy, including our ad-ministrator, who has told me outside of the in-camera situ-ation that he doesn’t want to be involved in MK Bay Ma-rina,” said McLeod.

“There’s all kinds of things happening but at this stage there is no resolution passed by the regional dis-

trict of Kitimat-Stikine to sell the MK Bay Marina. That I can say because there’s no in-camera references to that,” he continued.

He also says that no tax money goes towards subsi-dizing the marina operation.

“There’s been no taxpay-ers dollars in the MK Bay Marina since 1995,” he said. “The users have paid their own way, including the is-sues with WorksafeBC fines, issues with the safety au-thority fines and other legal costs.”

Women entrepreneur forum to be held in fallVANCOUVER - The Forum for Wom-en Entrepreneurs (FWE) announced that they will host their E-Series pro-gram for women entrepreneurs in Northern B.C., opening the doors to women in our northern, rural commu-nities and across the province.

On October 15th, 2014 in Prince George, FWE will feature two simul-taneous workshops; E-Series Starter will include women considering start-ing a business; and E-Series Pro will address the needs of women with ex-isting businesses.

“This one-day program takes all the highlights of our regular E-Series, and condenses it into a jam-packed session for both aspiring and estab-lished entrepreneurs.

Led by well-known BC experts and entrepreneurs, such as: Judy Brooks (Co-Founder, Blo Blow Dry Bar), Jay Carvalho (Indochino Apparel Inc), Lisa Von Sturmer (Growing City) and Bev Briscoe (Past President, Hi-way Refrigeration), E-Series is FWE’s longest and most successful program.

Ninety-one per cent of all past participants are still in business, com-pared to the national average of 50 per cent after five years. E-Series grads en-joy annualized revenue growth of over 40 per cent,” said Lisa Niemetscheck, General Manager of FWE.

“This year was the first time we opened E-Series up to applicants across the province and the response from Northern B.C. was so great, we knew the time was right to bring the program up north.”

E-Series North will live streamed and accessible anywhere in the prov-ince.

A limited number of $1,000 grants will be awarded to women from re-mote areas of northern BC to cover travel and accommodation expenses to attend. Application deadline for E-Se-ries North is August 29, 2014. E-Series North is supported by LNG-Buy BC and CN Rail.

New proposals coming in teacher talksBy Tom FletcherTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

VANCOUVER - Negotiators for the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and school districts are meeting today, Friday, Aug. 8, for the first time since schools were shuttered by a strike in late June, and Education Minister Peter Fass-bender expects new proposals from both sides.

Fassbender said Tuesday it’s the first meeting of full bargaining teams in more than a month, and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association has some “new concepts” to bring to the discussion.

“We’ve already demonstrated our willingness to move on some key el-ements,” he said. “We need to see the same from the BCTF. They’ve indicat-ed they’re willing to do that.”

He wouldn’t comment on the new proposals, except to reiterate that the BCTF’s position on benefits and other compensation is not in the “affordabil-ity zone” established by other public sector union agreements.

If the strike shuts schools again in September, the government plans to

use the savings to compensate parents $40 a day for each child under 13 in public school, to assist with daycare or tutoring costs. Fassbender said there would be no conditions attached to the payout.

“My hope is that there isn’t a nick-el available as of September, because schools are operating, teachers are back in the classroom, students are there and there is no further disrup-tion,” he said.

The B.C. School Trustees’ Asso-ciation has urged the government to direct its $12 million a day in payroll savings from the strike to a fund to ad-dress class size and special needs sup-port.

Trustees have also called on the union to moderate its benefit demands, which include parental leave, den-tal benefits, massage therapy and in-creased preparation time for elemen-tary school teachers.

BCPSEA has offered $375 mil-lion over a six-year contract term to provide extra classroom support, and specified class size limits in the teach-er contract, to address key issues in a series of court disputes.

Paving may cost seaplane jobsBy Shaun ThomasTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Construction work taking place at the Prince Rupert Airport may end up cost-ing the community jobs.

The Prince Rupert Airport Authority sent out letters earlier this month outlining plans to start construction on July 21, which will reduce the length of the run-way to less than 4,000 feet for a portion of the work.

That length is not suitable for private jets, which Inland Air owner Bruce MacDonald said has resulted in the redirec-tion of flights for high-end cli-entele visiting fishing lodges in the region. Rather than land-ing in Prince Rupert and board-ing a seaplane at Digby Island to reach the lodge, many of those flights will be landing in Sandspit where lodge patrons will board helicopters.

“I am looking at a loss of close to $100,000. I am probably going to have to lay off seven to eight people and I have a leased aircraft I am probably going to have to give back,” he said.

“August is our busiest month. It’s when we try to get our nut to get through the winter and then we get our throats cut like this ... I know our airport needs works and it needs to be done, just don’t do it during the busiest month of the

year.”Plans also call for the instru-

ment landing system and the pre-cision approach path indicator system to be disabled and, in the later part of the month, no air-planes other than “scheduled car-riers” will be able to park at the airport.

Despite those changes, the biggest sticking point for Mac-Donald is a lack of consultation and a tight timeline, something he said eliminated any possible so-lution being found to keep flights landing in Prince Rupert.

“Somebody made the deci-sion to do this in August without consulting myself or any of the airport users ... and it is probably because there would have been such an outcry against this,” he said.

Prince Rupert Airport manag-er Rick Reed said doing the proj-ect in August was necessitated by not only the type of work involved but by the timeframe imposed.

“The main thing is the weath-er period, though we do have a couple of constraints. Approxi-mately 90 per cent of the $10 mil-lion from the federal government needs to be spent in this fiscal year and paving is weather sen-sitive ... if the weather is nice, it will take approximately 30 days to complete, so we couldn’t risk getting into the wet fall period,” he said, noting people knew the project was coming.

“People have known about this for three years. What we didn’t know was the exact sched-ule, but we knew it would be dur-ing the summer time.”

Seabridge Gold is excited to announce the BC government’s approval of the KSM Project’s Environmental Assessment (EA) Application. Mary Polak, Minister of Environment, and Bill Bennett, Minister of Energy and Mines, approved the document on July 30, 2014, paving the way for the next regulatory step: approval from the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency. The KSM Project’s 35,000-page application took nearly seven years to prepare – hundreds of people from more than 20 world-class consulting fi rms provided input and studies – and the design of the copper-gold-silver-molybdenum mine located 65 kilometres northwest of Stewart, BC has been updated several times to refl ect concerns of government regulators and local citizens, including Treaty and First Nations. “We are pleased Ministers Bennett and Polak, through their issuance of the EA Certifi cate, have recognized the KSM Project will not result in signifi cant adverse effects and Seabridge has met all requirements for consultation,” said Brent Murphy, Seabridge Vice President of Environmental Affairs. “It’s taken more than six years and we would like to thank each person who contributed to ensuring the KSM Project is environmentally and socially responsible, sustainable and economically feasible.” The BC Environmental Assessment approval is a key step in the permitting process but more remains to be done. Seabridge will now focus on obtaining Federal approval, approximately 200 additional operating permits, strategic partnerships and fi nancing prior to beginning construction.Seabridge looks forward to continuing to work with the community during this time. How KSM Benefi ts BCKSM is an important anchor for the economic development of Northwestern BC. To date, Seabridge has spent more than $176 million in exploration, engineering and environ-

mental work, and 80 percent of this total has been spent here in BC. The company expects to spend an additional $29 million in 2014. During the fi ve-year construction process $3.5 billion will be spent directly in BC for goods and services and the mine will directly employ 1,800 people. During the 52-year production life of the mine, 1,040 people will be continuously employed and $42 billion in total GDP will be generated for Canada, including an annual contribution to BC GDP of more than $400 million.Community Meetings in AugustAs they have done since 2008, Seabridge team members will participate in a set of community meetings during late August. The meetings will provide an update on the KSM Project, including a presentation of KSM water quality and fi sh habitat management plans identifying how the company will ensure that any water used in the mining process or that comes into contact with operations will not harm fi sh habitat and aquatic life. Watch for notices in your community papers for the dates and locations of the meetings for your opportunity to learn more.

Gitxsan eviction notices felt by Skeena fishing guidesBy Josh MasseyTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Local fish-ing guides and their cli-ents were waiting with baited breath this week-end to see what action the Gitxsan First Nation would take to make a statement about territo-rial land claims.

A letter from the Gitxsan Treaty Society (GTS) from July 15 said in no uncertain terms that action would be taken to halt not only all fishing by non-Gitxsan in their 33,000 square kilometre traditional ter-ritory but also CN Rail, LNG pipeline work and other industry.

The eviction was planned to begin Mon-day, and Tuesday night Gitxsan Hereditary Chiefs issued a release stating they would begin blocking the railway at 10 p.m.

The release says that an Aug. 4 meeting between chiefs, federal and provincial officials, and CN Rail failed to produce satisfactory re-sults and they are fol-lowing through on the eviction notice issued to CN. It also invited feder-al and provincial repre-sentatives to meet again.

In the past weeks an-glers were already being blocked from the riv-ers in the area extending east from Legate Creek, about 50 kilometres east of Terrace, and ending west of Smithers. Trees blocked boat launches and anglers were asked to leave, indicating the controlled strategy of action was happening ahead of schedule.

For local guide out-fitter Stan Doll of Ter-race, it’s been business as usual, however, he and other guides have reported an influx of let-ters from clients asking if their summer fishing trip plans are still pos-sible.

“I have had to re-assure clients,” said

Doll, adding that he is less concerned than up-stream guides because the western edge of Gitxsan land falls out-side of many of the ma-jor tributaries typically fished by Terrace guides.

Doll said the pro-vincial government sent northwest outfitters a letter with recommenda-tions about how to deal with potential confron-tation, and also reaffirm-ing their legal right to continue fishing.

“The province is aware that the eviction notice may result in confrontational situa-tions with individuals and businesses operat-ing within some areas of asserted Gitxsan Tradi-tional Territory,” said a statement from the Fish and Wildlife Branch to local outfitters.

“As a potentially impacted business, I recommend you have a safety plan in place that includes preparation for encounters with protest-ers that may be video-taped and publicized.”

The message goes on to say that “In the event of an incident, I recom-mend that you and your staff refrain from re-sponding directly, and observe carefully, re-move yourselves from the situation as quickly as possible, and im-mediately report to the RCMP.”

During the weeks leading up to the evic-tion, it became apparent that not all members of the Gitxsan First Nation agreed with the widely-publicized eviction plan by the treaty society and the hereditary chiefs it represents.

The chiefs of houses (wilps) not represented by the GTS disagreed with the extent of the planned action because they have agreements with fish guiding com-panies and need the business.

A different group of hereditary chiefs called the United Chiefs wrote their own press release addressed to the Min-istry of Aboriginal Re-lations and Reconcili-ation speaking against the eviction strategy presented by GTS ne-gotiator Bev Clifton Percival.

“The United Chiefs are not in agreement with Ms. Percival’s statements that Gitx-san intend to evict third parties from our territo-ries,” said the statement signed by hereditary chiefs Earl Muldon, Norman Stephens, Lar-

ry Patsey dated July 28.Another house, Wil-

ps Gwininitxw, echoed this sentiment.

“While Wilps Gwi-ninitxw supports the western Gitxsan Houses regarding the Kitselas and Kitsumkalum AIP land grab, it does not support the eviction no-tice for all Gitxsan terri-tories,” said a statement from the more than 200 member wilp.

The AIP mentioned in this statement, short for Agreement in Prin-ciple, is the central de-mand of the Gitxsan, however, there is dis-agreement over how

those demands should be put to the govern-ment. Both those who supported the eviction and those who didn’t were in agreement that the province should re-vise its treaty plans with the Kitselas and Kit-sumkalum bands and re-move land given to these bands which the courts in the past have said be-longs to the Gitxsan.

According to Per-cival, the money offer from the province of $12 million tied to two natural gas pipelines that would pass through their territory was not good enough to stop the

eviction and missed the point.

“As usual with the crown, they just kind of come up with a formula and that’s what they use. There is no nego-tiation in there and it’s a take it or leave it ap-proach,” she said.

Currently the govern-ment is trying to get the Kitsumkalum and Kitse-las treaties approved by the federal government, but the Gitxsan want the application withdrawn and negotiations to take place first to resolve the disagreement over the disputed area that takes in two rivers near Git-

segukla and Kitwanga.TransCanada, the

company currently do-ing pre-work on two natural gas pipelines passing through the area, said it has a good relationship with the Gitxsan but in light of the eviction notices for all industry, they are re-specting the Gitxsan’s desires.

“We are seeking clarification from them to determine if our envi-ronmental and geotech-nical fieldwork on their traditional territory can continue,” said a state-ment from TransCanada last week.

DISTRICT OF STEWART

Canada’s Most Northerly Ice-Free Port

INVITATION TO TENDER

STEWART LOG TERMINAL - UPGRADES TO LOG LOADING INFRASTRUCTURE

BACKGROUNDThe District of Stewart is Canada’s most northerly ice-free port located in one of the most resource-rich regions in North America. At the end of

the Portland Canal, Stewart has a continuous 100 year port history in supporting mining and forestry development. The District owns a log storage and handling facility on the Arrow Dock Causeway along the west side of the mouth of the Bear River. Several

forest product processing and exporting companies operate out of the District of Stewart Log Storage and Handling Facility. The aging log loading infrastructure is in need of repair.

Matched funding has been awarded to the District through a contribution agreement (not a grant) from the federal government through the Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor Initiative, Transportation Infrastructure Fund, to assist with an upgrade project to rehabilitate and upgrade the facility’s log skids. The log handling facility has 16 log skids, or slides, made from long steel pipes that are filled with concrete and welded together which are anchored to buried steel and/or log foundation structures. This project will rehabilitate and upgrade all 16 skids. SCOPE OF WORKThe scope of the work is to include:• Address grade issues and gravel erosion: Procure and install 800 yards of gravel and 700 yards of 6”-8” shot rock.• Gravel must be placed and sloped between all groups of skids to provide Wheel Loader access to the water’s edge. This sloping of gravel should

run 30ft from the topside of the log yard towards the waters direction across the entire log facility• Rock placement on the skids should commence at the 30ft mark of the pipes extending 20ft towards the waters direction, placement of shot rock

under all pipes at a depth of 2ft and spanning across the entire skid width, extending wide 3ft outside each outer pipe. • Repair and replace steel log skid structures: Starting at the south end of the log handling facility the skids have all been numbered.

Skids consisting of 2 pipes wide are regular and 3 pipes wide are short log skids. All skid pipes are 14-16” in diameter and are welded together to a length of 60 – 70ft. Pipes are filled with cement and capped on both ends. A 3ft anchor pipe filled with cement, welded at the top end of the pipe is buried into the ground for support. Side plates connecting the anchor pipe to skid plates must be installed to new pipes. Channel iron and flat bar runs along the sliding surface of all pipes for a minimum of 20ft for protection. See other existing pipes for all examples.

SCHEDULE OF PRICES

• Pipe 1 - install 10ft section of channel iron and flat bar• Pipe 1a - install 10ft section of channel iron and flat bar• Pipe 2 - Complete removal and used for skid 3 upgrade. • Pipe 2a - Complete removal • Pipe 3 - Left as is• Pipe 3a - Complete removal, replace with pipe 2 after modifications

made. When putting in place must be level with pipe 3 and pipe 3b. Must have a 3ft anchor with side plates installed and filled with cement, see others for example. 20ft section of channel and flat bar must be installed.

• Pipe 3b - Left as is• Pipe 4 - install 10ft section of channel iron and flat bar• Pipe 4a - install 10ft section of channel iron and flat bar• Pipe 5 - Cut off 2ft channel and flat bar extension and install new

10ft channel and flat bar extension.• Pipe 5a - Cut off 2ft Channel and flat bar extension and install 10ft

channel and flat bar extension.• Pipe 6 - install 10ft section of channel iron and flat bar• Pipe 6a – install 10ft section of channel iron and flat bar

Realign the top end of the pipes 6 and 6a so they are in line with skid #5 and #7 for better truck access.

DISTRICT OF STEWART

Canada’s Most Northerly Ice-Free Port

INVITATION TO TENDER

STEWART LOG TERMINAL - UPGRADES TO LOG LOADING INFRASTRUCTURE

BACKGROUNDThe District of Stewart is Canada’s most northerly ice-free port located in one of the most resource-rich regions in North America. At the end of

the Portland Canal, Stewart has a continuous 100 year port history in supporting mining and forestry development. The District owns a log storage and handling facility on the Arrow Dock Causeway along the west side of the mouth of the Bear River. Several

forest product processing and exporting companies operate out of the District of Stewart Log Storage and Handling Facility. The aging log loading infrastructure is in need of repair.

Matched funding has been awarded to the District through a contribution agreement (not a grant) from the federal government through the Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor Initiative, Transportation Infrastructure Fund, to assist with an upgrade project to rehabilitate and upgrade the facility’s log skids. The log handling facility has 16 log skids, or slides, made from long steel pipes that are filled with concrete and welded together which are anchored to buried steel and/or log foundation structures. This project will rehabilitate and upgrade all 16 skids. SCOPE OF WORKThe scope of the work is to include:• Address grade issues and gravel erosion: Procure and install 800 yards of gravel and 700 yards of 6”-8” shot rock.• Gravel must be placed and sloped between all groups of skids to provide Wheel Loader access to the water’s edge. This sloping of gravel should

run 30ft from the topside of the log yard towards the waters direction across the entire log facility• Rock placement on the skids should commence at the 30ft mark of the pipes extending 20ft towards the waters direction, placement of shot rock

under all pipes at a depth of 2ft and spanning across the entire skid width, extending wide 3ft outside each outer pipe. • Repair and replace steel log skid structures: Starting at the south end of the log handling facility the skids have all been numbered.

Skids consisting of 2 pipes wide are regular and 3 pipes wide are short log skids. All skid pipes are 14-16” in diameter and are welded together to a length of 60 – 70ft. Pipes are filled with cement and capped on both ends. A 3ft anchor pipe filled with cement, welded at the top end of the pipe is buried into the ground for support. Side plates connecting the anchor pipe to skid plates must be installed to new pipes. Channel iron and flat bar runs along the sliding surface of all pipes for a minimum of 20ft for protection. See other existing pipes for all examples.

Soccer players make memoriesContributedTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - Northwest soccer skills were well represented at the 2014 BC Summer Games held recently in Nanaimo.

Fourteen boys from around the Northwest were chosen to partici-pate in this once in a lifetime event.

The boys played against teams from Vancouver-Squamish, Cariboo, Fraser Valley and Vancouver Island.

Although the boys did not � n-ish the soccer tournament as well as they had hoped, the boys were great ambassadors for Northwest B.C. and had a wonderful experience that they won’t soon forget.

CIHL changes coming By Kevin CampbellTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The Central Interior Hockey League (CIHL) has made some changes to its 2014-15 season and there are no more free passes to the playoffs.

Because of the Houston Luckies’ recent departure from the league, the Prince Rupert Rampage will occupy one spot in a four-team West division vying for only two playoff spots.

“With the [Houston For-est Products] mill closing, [the team] couldn’t get a play-er commitment this year to � eld a team,” said CIHL pres-ident J.C. Brown last week.

After the league’s annual general meeting in late May, the now seven-team league will play in one overall divi-sion for the regular season but for the purposes of the playoffs, two spots are up for grabs between Rupert, the Terrace River Kings, the Smithers Steelheads and the Kitimat Ice Demons, and two spots can be taken between the eastern teams of the Wil-liams Lake Stampeders, the Quesnel Kangaroos and the Lac La Hache Tomahawks.

The Luckies � nished in last place in the West divi-sion in 2013-14 and won one game in their � rst-round play-off series with the Kangaroos before bowing out to them in three games.

“It’s a tougher go to make the playoffs this year so it’ll be interesting,” said Brown.

Last year, the Rupert Rampage � nished in fourth place in the West with a 7-10-1 record. They fell to the Riv-er Kings in the � rst round of the playoffs.

In addition to Houston’s subtraction, the league will now reduce the number of games for each team to 16 instead of the usual 18 to ac-count for the loss of the Luck-ies. As for the technical rules on the ice, there are no chang-es from last season.

“That stuff’s all per BC Hockey and sometimes as much as we want to change it, we can’t,” said Brown. “It’s all governed by BC Hockey’s senior men’s rules.”

The 2014-15 season schedule is expected to be re-leased later this month.

Northwest victorious at NAIGContributedTHE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

REGINA - Two Northwest boys soccer teams � nished strong at the North American Indiågenous Games (NAIG) 2014 in Regina two weeks ago, with the U16 boys team break-ing team records and claiming gold, and the U18 boys team grabbing sil-ver.

The teams quali� ed to represent as Team BC at the NAIG after win-ning provincials in August 2013, and headed to Regina July 20-27 to see how they stacked up against teams from across the continent.

And they stacked up better than � ne.

The U18 boys claimed silver fol-lowing a hard � nal match that � n-ished 4-0 for Team Saskatchewan af-ter besting Team Manitoba earlier in the round robin.

And Team BC’s U16 boys played a tough round robin and � -nal against the other top team in their division, the hometeam Team Sas-katchewan. The � nal was close, but Team BC never gave up the lead, and ultimately won 2-1 to claim gold on the � nal day of events.

“The team played with tempo and grace on the � eld,” wrote team manager Brian Grant in an email.

Grant said notables on the team were Clark Mathews Jr., who scored in all round robin games, and Team BC � ag bearer Joel Patsey who scored a hat trick in the team’s game against Northwest Territories. And on defence, he noted stellar perfor-mances by Joshua Wesley and Rich-ard Hillis.

“Great Team effort from this team, destined to be together,” he said. “Coaching was also key to win-ning. Coach Chris Daniels and assis-tant Brennan Patsey matched their experiences and prevailed.”

He also made note of the efforts of Toni Muldoe. Muldoe “started all of this with her � ancée Chris Dan-

iels. Toni played a big part in orga-nizing from day one. Her ambition and dedication and manager skills are top notch. Toni got the boys to Seabird Island, BC Provincials 2013 and organized the practices and rides for the teams, and deserves a gold medal as well.”

“We thank those who made it possible to get the team to Regina. The boys families, parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents and commu-nity. The boys were well represent-ed on the team, many Nations in our northern area: Gitxsan, Haisla, Hai-da, Nisga’a and Tsimshian.”

Team BC broke records, win-ning the closest medal count match-es and slightly beating second place � nisher and hosts Team Saskatche-wan by one medal – B.C. with 160 medals and Saskatchewan with 159 medals.

Team BC also won both the

Overall Team Title and the John Fletcher Spirit Award. This is the � rst year Team BC won the Overall Team Title at the NAIG.

The John Fletcher Spirit Award is presented to the contingent that best demonstrates the spirit of team-work, fair play, respect and integrity throughout the NAIG competition week.
