The Prince Rupert RCMP recovered the bodies of two Metlakatla men from the city’s harbour early Saturday morning.

At about 5:30 a.m. the RCMP and Coast Guard responded to a sighting of a body floating out in the Prince Rupert harbour. When they arrived the located the body and about five hours later, while the police were investigating the area where the body was found, they found the body of a second man in the water near the dock.

While the identities of the men are not being released, the two are brothers from Metlakatla.

The RCMP’s forensic identification team and the Prince Rupert Coroner Service were then sent out to investigate.

Investigators learned that both men were seen the night before at the Metlakatla docks and appeared very drunk. The police believe that both men fell from the docks into the water and drowned. They do not believe any foul play was involved.

“It is with great sadness that we are having to inform the public of this incident, and our sincere condolences go out to the

family and friends affected by this tragic event,” says the Prince Rupert RCMP’s spokesman, Cst. Matt Ericson.

“We would also like to remind the public of the inherent dangers of consuming alcohol both near and on water, and in this circumstance the fatal consequences.”

Despite the lack of a suspicion of foul play, the RCMP and BC Coroner Service is still investigating the case. The

police are asking for anyone with any more information about the incident to call 250-627-0700.

Hundreds of people lined the shore of the Prince Rupert waterfront as Dayna McKay completed her 52 kilometre swim from Port Simpson to Prince Rupert on Thursday night after swimming for about 19 hours straight.

There was chanting, drumming and singing as McKay and her escort of boats neared Prince Rupert’s shore at about 10:30 p.m. People held signs, waved, and cheered her on, and she waved back. It took four people to pluck the exhausted McKay from the water and back on to dry land where she was greeted with the complete adulation of the crowd.

McKay’s swim was called “Into the Sea Cancer Free” and was the culmination of her fundraising efforts to help fight cancer, an illness that has touched the lives of many in her community. The money raised will be split between the Richard Wesley Foundation and the BC Cancer Foundation.

The inspiration for the swim came from McKay’s uncle, Billy Sampson, who was

diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2009. Mackay isn’t the only one who has a loved one with cancer, many people in her village community do.

McKay had her swim coincide with National Aboriginal Day, and throughout the afternoon at the celebrations at the Prince Rupert waterfront Aboriginal leaders, elders, politicians and others said how proud they were of her and how they admired her mission.

They weren’t the only ones.Back home in Port Simpson the whole

community was keeping track of her progress through out the day via CB Radio.

Some of McKay’s fundraising efforts have included soliciting corporate sponsorships to selling 50/50 tickets, holding rummage sales and a loonie auction. There is also a six-hour swim challenge to be held at the pool in Port Simpson where McKay trained for her endurance swim.

Prince Rupert City Council held the last of its five public meetings to explore various aspects of constructing new buildings for the Prince Rupert RCMP and Fire Department.

Monday’s meeting focused on possible locations for the proposed building or buildings.

Any location would need to be fairly central with access to main roads to allow for quick response times from both services. It would also need to be big enough to fit the improved – and bigger – buildings, without being too expensive for the city to purchase and develop, and meet the RCMP’s security requirements.

It’s a tall order, but the City and the architectural firm helping them with the pre-planning phase, KMBR Architects and Planning, have looked at four different possibilities for where either a new police building, fire hall or joint-use building could be located.

The first option is using either or both properties on the intersection of McBride Street and 6th Avenue, which are the Moose Tot Park and the public tennis courts are currently located.

This was the most seriously considered option at Monday’s meeting and it is the option favoured by both RCMP Inspector Bob Killbery and Fire Chief Dave MacKenzie.

“It doesn’t differ much from where we are now, its right across the street. When we talk about the lay of the land, the security aspects, accessibility to the main arterial roads, and accessibility for the public to our building, it meets all the criteria we are looking for,” said Inspector Killbery.

“I agree with the Site 1 option. Our only concern is pulling [fire trucks] out onto McBride Street or 6th Avenue. We have a blind hill coming up McBride, we’d need some emergency traffic lights to stop traffic like other communities have,” said Chief MacKenzie.

There are a number of advantages to this location.The tennis courts would take the least amount of work

to develop. When they were built in 1997 the property was excavated to the bedrock and backfilled with good materials. This saves the City the trouble of doing that if they want to put a building on it. It would still have to be done to the tot park though.

The location also allows for easily hooking up new buildings to utilities, many of which run underneath McBride Street. And since the City owns both these pieces of property,

they City wouldn’t need to spend money on buying property.

T h e r e are some d o w n s i d e s though. The most obvious is that it would mean taking away well-used recreation areas in a city where such things are rare, at least temporarily.

While there are a couple public kids’ parks in Prince Rupert, few of them are as nice or well used as the Moose Tot Park. This was not lost on councilors,

who said that if they went with this option, finding a place to relocate the park or the tennis courts would have to be part of the project planning and cost estimates.

“I think we as a city need to let the community know that, and make it a promise, we will eventually replace the park,” says councilor Judy Carlick-Pearson.

Another drawback to the first option is that neither the park nor the tennis courts are big enough by themselves to have a joint-use

building built on them.

If they were, it would mean only replacing one recreation area, not both.

The Prince Rupert School District has released a list of changes for the 2012/2013 school year.

For the past year former CHSS principal Sandy Jones has been the principal of Charles Hays and part-time Director of Instruction for the district while Sheila Wells, the former principal of Prince Rupert Secondary School, has been the associate principal. Effective August 1, Jones has been hired as the acting assistant superintendent for the Prince Rupert School District, which means Wells will be taking on the role of Charles Hays principal.

As well, Kerri Levelton will be moving from a vice-principal

role split between Conrad Elementary and Port Edward to a position as vice-principal at Ecole Roosevelt Community School .

Rail traffic causing ferry delaysBy Shaun Thomas

The Northern View

The number and size of trains making their way around Prince Rupert has been creating some delays for boat traffic in the area.

The issue comes when trains stop on the track crossing the road just before the dock areas on the west end of town, and extends to both BC Ferries and the Digby Island ferry.

“We’re getting blocked in quite regularly, it almost seems to be timed just as we come back from the airport. It happens at least once per day on average, but it can be two to three times per day...The longest we’ve sat is 40 minutes, but the average is 10 to 15 minutes of being delayed,” said Craig Nicholls of the Digby Island ferry.

“There have been two or three incidents over the past month or so where movement of trains has caused BC Ferries minor delays, about 20 minutes. We work together with CN and Maher Terminals to

try to avoid any delays...In order to avoid customer inconvenience we have delayed departures so to ensure all customers can make their sailings,” said BC Ferries spokesperson Deborah Marshall.

The issue was brought up at the recent Pinnacle Pellet terminal open house by opponents of the proposed Westview Terminal location due to the extra train traffic the facility would bring past the docks. The situation is further complicated by the increase in rail traffic expected with the start-up of phase II of Fairview Terminal, with some expecting four times as much rail traffic.

Rick Reed, manager of the airport, says he has personally been affected by the delays caused by rail traffic when it comes to catching the ferry to Digby Island and would like to see a resolution.

“With the increase in business at the ports, I sent a letter to [city manager] Gord Howie saying this should be talked about,” he said.

For its part, CN Rail says it is aware of the issue and is working with stakeholders on a solution.

B.C.’S #1 SELLING LINE OF PICKUPS.∞


OPINIONNorth Coast

As expected, Moose Tot Park and the tennis courts on McBride are among the possible locations for a new emergency services building or a combination of a new RCMP detachment and fire hall.

They were among a number of possible sites, but in reality they appear to be among the two best options from a safety and cost perspective.

That being said, there are some issues that the City would need to address before the public would be willing to buy the idea of locating the new facilities there. First and foremost is the replacement of the existing park, tennis court and basketball court infrastructure. These are all highly used locations by people in the town, and there would need to be a plan to replace them much sooner than later.

As well, the City would need to consider the cost of buying the old McBride Street Market and Green Medical Buildings - a quick MLS search shows it would be about $750,000 to buy the two - and their subsequent demolition into the cost-benefit analysis. And it would have to be seen if the Mason Hall sale would even be considered before putting that in as part of the plan.

Of course another concern here is having emergency vehicles pulling out onto a highway at the top of a blind hill, which comes with moving the detachment from the one side of McBride to the other.

When looking at the other central location, that being the old Dairy Queen building, you again have to consider the cost of buying and destroying the existing building and

filling the lot, but it does offer a central location with easy access to all of the main arteries of town and provides more of a police presence in the downtown core.

While each of the other options - the five-corners site and the lot beside the Highliner Inn - are possible, from my perspective it comes down to these two sites. But that’s just

my opinion. What lays ahead, I’m sure, is a number of public hearings

and input gathering from residents and stakeholders before making a decision. And even if that is not the case, let council know your thoughts on the matter in a formal way. Silence on the matter simply doesn’t help.

MY VIEW…

Looking at possibleemergency sites...

My crystal ball seems to have been cloudier than usual lately.

Not so long ago I predicted a soft season in certain sectors. Not to jinx anything by speaking too soon, but in a few cases we’re seeing just the opposite results.

It’s sometimes difficult to understand the complexities of the tourism industry, and I’ve certainly had some puzzles so far this year. Over the past week or so I’ve been talking with a variety of accommodation providers. Most are reporting the same thing – a surprising strength, particularly in walk-in bookings. But then it gets strange. One hotel will say that there are a higher than usual number of American visitors, and the next will say it’s Europeans. When yet another hotel comments that they’re doing well and I ask if it’s European visitors and hear, “Oh, no. It’s the Australian market that’s doing it for us.”

I won’t pretend to understand it. I’m just happy for it. We’re experiencing a mini-

boom, surprisingly early in the season, and it’s obvious everywhere we look. The trucks and trailers of visiting boaters line George Hills Way, visitors stream into the museum, and there are out-of-town licence plates on every street.

***I’m pleased to see

the return of the visitor counselor program aboard the BC Ferries Inside Passage vessels. All of us in the northern industry see the value in this program, which sees a trained visitor counselor stationed on every sailing, but it has at times posed challenges. At one time the cost was absorbed by the Prince Rupert Visitor Centre, and then jointly by the Visitor Centres in Prince Rupert and Port Hardy. As budgets have been eroded over the years it has become more difficult to finance. At the same time, it is logistically

difficult to oversee such a remote satellite operation.

This year the Northern BC Tourism Association has sought innovative ways to incorporate this longstanding program into broader marketing of the Inside Passage, in a way that I hope will make the program more sustainable and less of an annual juggling act. At the same time, as part of the ongoing process of streamlining Visitor Centre operations since they were taken

over by the Museum of Northern BC, Susan Marsden and her team at the Museum have dedicated themselves to making onboard visitor services much more formal and professional.

Last week TPR had the opportunity to conduct a familiarization tour as part of the counselor training conducted by the Visitor Centre at the Museum of Northern BC. I’m happy to report that we have an enthusiastic

team aboard the ferry this year, and that should translate directly to bookings for local businesses and attractions.

***We had an interesting press trip last week,

the most recent of the annual cross-country excursions sponsored by VIA Rail. Linda Ayares from M. Silver Associates, VIA’s New York agency, was joined by Georgette Diamindis and Laura Motta. Georgette is a contributor to Johnny Jet’s Travel News and has a blog called “Georgie Jet.” Laura is with Shermans Travel, the very popular vacation deals site.

***It was great to see the turn out for the

Tourism Prince Rupert AGM on June 12 – particularly on a sunny evening with the tourism season already underway! On a personal note I’d like to thank the outgoing volunteer directors of the board, and welcome our new directors. As staff at TPR we rely upon your knowledge and experience.

was shocked to learn that there was no ocean front park in this ocean side community.

Over the years, I found out there were a couple of small beaches where Rupertites were able to get to the ocean. One on Ridley Island-where we actually went swimming one sunny afternoon - and the other in the area where the container port now stands. As my children were growing up we spent time on both of these beaches and I have fond memories of the time spent there. In both cases, these beaches are no longer accessible for people to enjoy. In fact now to the best of my knowledge, there are no accessible beaches for the people of Prince Rupert “unless you have a boat” which I don’t. This is a situation that needs to change.

A document from a CN 2006 cross country panel which was assembled to look at railway safety noted that, “During the 19th century many communities in Canada sprang up around railways - their link to the rest of the country and the world. Over the next century, for demographic and economic reasons, these communities expanded and many railways moved their yards and operating facilities away from the highly populated town centres.”

Prince Rupert is a prime example of this, as one of the main reasons for the establishment of our community is the presence of the railway. However, we have been left in the 19th century with the railway continuing to have a dominating presence in our community. And today in the 21st century that is becoming a problem. Because of rail activity we have no beach access, we now have difficulty accessing nearby communities and other forms of public transportation such as the ferries and the airport. There is also an increasing amount of nuisance level noise resulting from the trains.

Even more worrisome is the proposal for the pellet terminal in the very heart of our community. Placing this industrial installation

in the heart of what should be our town centre will place an even greater strain on the railway spur, which is already operating somewhat over capacity. This is a backwards step. The development of our community is now hampered by the downtown presence of the CN switchyard. With the development of the Pellet Terminal, there will be an increased industrial presence in the heart of Prince Rupert.

While the Prince Rupert Port Authority say they support tourism in our community they are proposing an installation that will effectively continue to block development of waterfront land for community use. It is time for our community to take ownership of the waterfront and develop some of the most valuable land in town for residential, commercial and recreational use, for the citizens of our community and its visitors.

I find it difficult to believe that with all the empty land around us there is no other place for the Pellet terminal. On the Prince Rupert Port Authority map which Mr. Krusel showed us at their annual general meeting it showed that all of Ridley Island has been designated for other projects. When one of them was the proposed LNG plant I almost laughed. I have been hearing about that proposal for more than 25 years. Surely it makes more sense to establish the pellet plant on Ridley Island now, rather than to keep holding on to land for a project that may never come to fruition.

The meeting on Monday night at the Mary Lester Performing Arts Centre was well attended and the general message from the public was that we want the Pellet terminal in our community; we just don’t want it in the midst of our downtown core. What we heard in return was that they were trying their best to

“mitigate” the problematic issues brought forth by the public. However, mitigating them, only means to make the problems less severe. It does not mean removing them. So as well as not having the use of this prime land, we will have to put up with issues of increased noise, dust, a potential fire and toxic emission hazard as well as a significantly increased problem with the train traffic.

If the pellet terminal is established on the proposed site it seems we will have little chance of ever taking control of an area in our community which could greatly improve our quality of life, providing us with more economic and social opportunities for our residents. We will have to live with the consequences indefinitely. We can simply look forward to more industry in the same area. This is not just a fight about a pellet terminal. Is that what you want? For the future of our community, it is time for the citizens of Prince Rupert to make a decision about what direction they would like to see us go in!

Now is the time to act. Not once they have broken ground and begun building the

pellet terminal and certainly not when some of the concerns that have been expressed by numerous people come to realization and we have to learn to live in an environment that is less than pristine. If we are to live in this beautiful place with the inclement climate we at least deserve clean air and a quiet calm environment so that we can enjoy the beauty around us. It is time to take a stand. Please take a few minutes to show your support for the future of our community. If you wish to make your voice heard even a brief email can have an impact.

Is blocking vehicle access to Wantage Road with a gate a

good idea to stop illegal garbage dumping there?

Jas Sandhu “I could see people just fi nding a way around

it.”

Ryan Stelmacker“No. The kids around here need a place to take their trucks and

have some fun.”

Travis Basso“So stop the garbage

would be good, as long as people still have

access.”

Dennis Brown“It’s an excellent idea. The world has been polluted enough as it

is.”

Next week’s question: Where should the City locate the new emergency services

building?

The architects suggested at the meeting that the City could approach the owners of adjacent lots, such as the Masonic Hall, about the possibility of selling. With the extra space, the lots would be big enough for a joint-use building.

The second option presented at Monday’s meeting was the lot right next to the Highliner Inn, where the Longshoremen’s Union building sits.

The pros for this location are that is plenty big enough for a joint-use building to be built, and the site is deep enough for possible underground parking.

But there is a list of problems with this site. The City’s Public Works manager, Bill Horne,

points out that this would be the most difficult and expensive property to develop. It has one of the City’s main sewer pipes running right through the middle of the property. Excavators would have to watch out for gas, water and hydro-lines running though the property as well.

This is the RCMP’s least favourite option, not because of development challenges, but because of security difficulties.

The Highliner Inn would serve as an excellent vantage point to monitor the comings-and-goings of officers at the RCMP headquarters. The RCMP doesn’t like having its buildings at the bottom of hills for exactly this reason. The RCMP is also wary of underground parking which would allow a car bomb to do much more damage to the building.

“We have some concerns about underground parking that might be required, and having a 16-story building beside you. When we’re talking from our security people’s perspective, they don’t like anything that’s taller than we are,” said Inspector Killbery.

The third option presented to council was the

empty lot on the corner of Park Avenue and Biggar Place, next door to the Liquor Warehouse.

This site would be big enough for a joint-use facility to sit on and include enough space for a training yard and secure RCMP parking.

Public Works knows very little about what the condition of the site is underground. This makes it impossible to say how difficult it would be to develop, and like the second option, its not clear that the owners of the property would want to sell it.

The fourth, and last, option is on the corner of McBride Street and Second Avenue, where the Dairy Queen used to be as well as the adjoining empty lot.

If it’s built in a big L-shape that wraps around the credit union, the lot is big enough to for a joint-use building to sit on, it also has the added bonus of actually being for sale.

The con for the site is that it’s a big pit that would either need to be filled or the design would have to include a basement. There is also a public lane with utilities running underneath to be considered.

This is the Fire Department’s least favourite option because of its location on two very busy streets. This would make getting their equipment in and out of the property difficult with so much traffic.

Council looks at location options for emergency buildings

Young adults making use of Prince Rupert’s Planet Youth center will be left out in the cold as of Friday, June 29, after the Federal Government decided to cut off funding for Planet Youth programs across the country.

Planet Youth was put in place to assist young people with a variety of things, such as getting them more involved in the community and helping them to find employment. Planet Youth also gave young adults productive and healthy activities to partake in, such as culture camps, plant medicine workshops, music sessions, hiking, and more. The group also fundraised annually to take part in larger provincial-wide events such as the Gathering Strength Canoe Journey and Gathering Our Voices Aboriginal Youth Conference.

The Department of Canadian Heritage was funding Prince Rupert’s center, as well as 25 other centers of the same nature in British Columbia. Notice of the funding cut came on June 12, with the federal Conservatives stopping funding to the Cultural Connections for Aboriginal Youth program, a $22-million initiative that supports off-reserve Aboriginal youth in the 10-24 year old bracket, which funded Planet Youth.

“The ages [of people utilizing Planet Youth] in Prince Rupert is 19 to 24, but across Canada the age range is 14 to 24. In most communities it’s the only youth program they have,” said Lucy Heffernan, who works at the Friendship House’s Youth Hub.

“There’s a service gap. Once you turn 18, you’re out of the system and out on your own.”

22-year old Eli Wesley said he was upset when he found out Planet Youth would be closing down.

“I don’t see why they’re cutting it. The government says that they’re supporting youth…But

then they do this to us. What are Aboriginal youth suppose to do now?” questioned Wesley, who has been part of the Friendship House’s youth programs since he was nine years old.

“Since they’ve closed us up we’re going to be hanging out by the fountain in front of City Hall, or we’ll go out drinking because we have nothing else to do.”

Wesley has been utilizing Planet Youth since he was 19, and like many other young adults using the program, it helped him find employment.

Christa Barette, who is the Recreation and Culture worker at Planet Youth, also expressed disappointment that the center would be shut down, stating that young adults wanting to take leadership in the community no longer have a platform to do so.

“We just recently started a youth council of 11 dedicated 19 to 24-year old youths, who were ready, willing and able to take leadership in Prince Rupert with community service and p r o j e c t s , ” s t a r t e d Barette.

“This was a unifying force for the youth, to give them an opportunity to make change in

their community, and now that’s gone and there’s nothing in its place.”

Although there is little time left to act against the government’s wishes, Planet Youth and other centers in British Columbia are all working together to collect as many signatures they can for a petition.

Anyone wishing to sign the petition is encouraged to visit the Friendship House, where they can do so.

Planet Youth also asks anyone who does not want to see the program close to contact government officials at:

The Metlakatla Wilderness Trail was given a grand opening ceremony in Metlakatla Village last Friday.

The ceremony was held at the trailhead located at the north end of the village and was attended by representatives of many organizations and businesses. Many were from organizations involved in funding the construction of the trail, such as Ridley Terminals Inc, Metlakatla Development Corporation, the Coast Sustainability Trust, BC Construction Association and Community Futures.

Elders from the village blessed the trail after a short prayer by laying cedar branches at the beginning of the new trail. They then cut a ribbon made of woven cedar to officially open it.

The trail has been a project three years in the making, and cost about $800,000 to build, much of that contributed by a couple different organizations.

The trail is about 10 kilometers and runs through the forest up the west coast of the Tsimshian Peninsula. After the ceremony was over, the representatives were given the first guided tour of the trail, which the Metlakatla Band and BC Tourism hope will draw many.

The trail weaves through the incredibly tall, mostly branchless trees that make up the forest around the village. The winding trail has literally been cut through the ancient forest and follows the coastline and crosses inlets, streams, marshes with the use of boardwalks and three metal suspension bridges. Culturally modified cedar trees can be seen along the trail, some of them very new and some very old.

The trail also includes two lookout towers connected together by a suspended walkway for people to climb up and take in the coastal scenery. The man who designed them and the bridges, John Kelston, has also designed walkways used in Nigerian mangrove swamps – they apparently have a lot of snakes.

The trail also contains access to remote sandy beaches, has a picnic area and even a campsite that has been reviewed by an ecologist and avid camper the band invited to come and try it out, then give them feedback.

It took a crew of 13 people a year to build the Metlakatla Wilderness Trail. During that year they had to deal with everything from wildlife stealing their lunches to raising towers and suspension bridges during the middle of winter. The entire project has been completely accident

free.The trail they

made is only wide enough for people to walk along single file but is fairly flat and well put together. But according to Cory Stephens from the Metlakatla Band who has been overseeing the project, the trail will cost about $50,000 a year to maintain which will likely mean year-round jobs for two village residents.

They plan to come up with that money by selling tickets and season passes at a kiosk here in Prince Rupert in the near future. The pricing structure of this hasn’t been worked out yet, but the hope is that the trail will become a popular day-trip for both residents and tourists. The trail is just long enough that someone could come to Metlakatla on the eight a.m. ferry from Prince Rupert and finish it in time to catch the four p.m. ferry back.

The trail will be open for the public in about three weeks, and the band is hoping to have guided tours available and information about the ecology and Metlakatla culture along the trail (that’s

still in the works).The long-term vision for the trail is

that it might be expanded so that it ran along the coast all the way north to Port Simpson, 25 k i l o m e t e r s away. This would make the trail a bigger tourist a t t r a c t i o n and establish walking access b e t w e e n the two communities.

The Canadian FlagUpon confederation in 1867,

Canada’s national flag remained the Royal Union Flag, the Union Jack.

And although that was Canada’s official flag, Prime Minister John A. Macdonald took to flying the unique Canadian Red

Ensign as a distinctive flag of Canada.

The Canadian Red Ensign was a red flag with the Union Jack in the top left hand corner and the Coat of Arms of the different provinces in the centre right portion of the flag. Although it had no official designation, it was commonly used on Canadian

vessels traveling the seas. It also flew over Parliament buildings until it was replaced by the Union Jack in 1904. On September 5, 1945, following World War II, the Governor General produced an Order in Council that permitted the flying of the flag over federal buildings in Canada and internationally.

In 1964 Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson wanted to make sure Canada had a new flag and presented his proposed flag to the House of Commons. The flag proved to be quite divisive

amongst different parties in the country and an all-party committee was formed to select Canada’s next flag.

That October the committee came back with three designs to choose from: One with three red maple leaves with blue bars, one with a single red maple leaf on a white square with red bars and one with both the Union Jack and three fleurs-de-lis.

On October 29, 1964 the committee made the recommendation that the single maple leaf design be adopted. But division around the country and in the House of Commons persisted and it wasn’t until 2:15 a.m. on December 15, 1964 that

the House of Commons adopted the flag as it stands today by a vote of 163-78.

The design of the new flag was said to be the idea of Dr. George Stanley, the Dean of Arts at the Royal Military College.

The Canadian National Anthem “O Canada” has long been the

anthem sung proudly by Canadians from coast to coast, but it wasn’t until 1980 that the song was officially proclaimed Canada’s National Anthem.

That proclamation came over 100 years after it was first sung on June 24, 1880 at a banquet in the “Pavillon des Patineurs” in Quebec City.

Rain or shine, residents of Prince Rupert and the north coast are being invited to a picnic in the park on Sunday, July 1, to help celebrate Canada’s 145th birthday.

Organized annually by the volunteers of the Prince Rupert Special Events Society, the Canada Day event is a way to get out and celebrate all things Canada, as well as spend some time with friends and neighbours.

Festivities get underway at noon with the singing of O’ Canada, the raising of the flags and welcomes from dignitaries. With the formal part out of the way, the rest of the day is dedicated to creating a fun atmosphere for the whole family.

This year there will once again be several large birthday cakes cut up and served to those in

attendance, and Canada flags and pins will be available. Rounding out the activities will be children’s games, face painting, temporary tattoos and a wide range of musical entertainment at the bandstand.

For those looking for a little more than cake, there will also be a number of ethnic food vendors on the site.

Finally, weather permitting, there will be fireworks over the harbour beginning at 11:15 p.m. to cap off the celebrations.

The Canadian FlagUpon confederation in 1867,

Canada’s national flag remained the Royal Union Flag, the Union Jack.

And although that was Canada’s official flag, Prime Minister John A. Macdonald took to flying the unique Canadian Red

Ensign as a distinctive flag of Canada.

The Canadian Red Ensign was a red flag with the Union Jack in the top left hand corner and the Coat of Arms of the different provinces in the centre right portion of the flag. Although it had no official designation, it was commonly used on Canadian

vessels traveling the seas. It also flew over Parliament buildings until it was replaced by the Union Jack in 1904. On September 5, 1945, following World War II, the Governor General produced an Order in Council that permitted the flying of the flag over federal buildings in Canada and internationally.

In 1964 Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson wanted to make sure Canada had a new flag and presented his proposed flag to the House of Commons. The flag proved to be quite divisive

amongst different parties in the country and an all-party committee was formed to select Canada’s next flag.

That October the committee came back with three designs to choose from: One with three red maple leaves with blue bars, one with a single red maple leaf on a white square with red bars and one with both the Union Jack and three fleurs-de-lis.

On October 29, 1964 the committee made the recommendation that the single maple leaf design be adopted. But division around the country and in the House of Commons persisted and it wasn’t until 2:15 a.m. on December 15, 1964 that

the House of Commons adopted the flag as it stands today by a vote of 163-78.

The design of the new flag was said to be the idea of Dr. George Stanley, the Dean of Arts at the Royal Military College.

The Canadian National Anthem “O Canada” has long been the

anthem sung proudly by Canadians from coast to coast, but it wasn’t until 1980 that the song was officially proclaimed Canada’s National Anthem.

That proclamation came over 100 years after it was first sung on June 24, 1880 at a banquet in the “Pavillon des Patineurs” in Quebec City.

Rain or shine, residents of Prince Rupert and the north coast are being invited to a picnic in the park on Sunday, July 1, to help celebrate Canada’s 145th birthday.

Organized annually by the volunteers of the Prince Rupert Special Events Society, the Canada Day event is a way to get out and celebrate all things Canada, as well as spend some time with friends and neighbours.

Festivities get underway at noon with the singing of O’ Canada, the raising of the flags and welcomes from dignitaries. With the formal part out of the way, the rest of the day is dedicated to creating a fun atmosphere for the whole family.

This year there will once again be several large birthday cakes cut up and served to those in

attendance, and Canada flags and pins will be available. Rounding out the activities will be children’s games, face painting, temporary tattoos and a wide range of musical entertainment at the bandstand.

For those looking for a little more than cake, there will also be a number of ethnic food vendors on the site.

Finally, weather permitting, there will be fireworks over the harbour beginning at 11:15 p.m. to cap off the celebrations.

Grad weekend kicked off with the walk-up on Friday, including valedictorians Josh Tooke and Brianne Bartel (centre), and wrapped up with a night of prom celebration on Saturday.


Two Prince Rupert RCMP members will be among the 25 riders participating in this year’s Cops for Cancer Tour de North.

Inspector Bob Killbery, the officer-in-charge of the Prince Rupert detachment, and Cst. Jennifer Collins will join riders from across northern BC as they ride from Prince George to Prince Rupert over seven days from September 14 to 20. Along with 20 officers, there is a medic rider, a retired RCMP rider, two community riders from Prince George and a media rider.

“It is one of those programs that deals with a disease that affects everyone and it’s certainly been supported by the RCMP in the past. It’s also something that my daughter [fellow Prince Rupert rider Jennifer Collins] and I talked about doing together before I retire, and since I’m retiring soon this seemed like the right time,” said Inspector Killbery.

“Everyone knows someone who has been affected by cancer.”

Killbery says so far he’s out riding three times per week up to 70 kilometres so far, with the goal being to get up to four days per week and up to 100 kilometres as the ride gets closer. To help raise funds for the Tour de North, Killbery and his daughter have raffle tickets currently for sale with the prizes of one of three fishing charter trips in 2013 donated by Kevin Wiley, Jeff Beckwith and Rob Morash.

The Tour de North raises awareness and funds for pediatrict cancer research, Camp Goodtimes and other programs that help kids with cancer and is one of sever Cops for Cancer events held around the province.

Drag racing goes back this weekend to where drag racing in the North West began - The 4th Annual Kitimat Hill Climb.

The Race first started in the late 1970s as a Quarter Mile, single run, race. Featuring such cars as “The Rupert Elephant”, “The Wild Canadian” “ The El Camino” and “Lil Gobbler” it turned into a side by side 1/8th mile race in the 80’s and 90’s. Featuring cars such as “The Predator”, “Foolish Delight” ,”Dr Demento” and of course, the car this new race dedicated to, Dave Saunders and “The Purple Pig”.

After a hiatus of a few years, it is now in it’s present form, a 400 foot Drag race up the Haisla Hill. Now Called “ The Dave Saunders Memorial

Hill Climb” it still features all of the great stuff that the Hill Climb was noted for. You sit on a grassy hill overlooking the race track, as cars run up and compete for “ The King of the Hill”. Unlike other races, you can actually see the beginning and the end of the track all in front of you.

Time Trials will begin Saturday June 30 at 10 a.m. with Eliminations starting at one p.m.. Admission on the hill is as it always was.....FREE.

Don’t miss this exciting race from where it all began.

See you at the races!

This Friday, June 29, is our last Friday Bingo until September. In the meantime they will be playing cards at 1:00 on Fridays for July and August. If you do forget and happen to show up for Bingo anyway, no problem, they’ll capture you

for cards!Embroidery, Darts and Carpet Bowling are also

taking a break until September.No Zone 10 Senior Games news to report this

week but I do know that there is a swim team of 3 persons going this year. I think they have a good chance this year as there is a “ringer” on the team, although she may try and argue that fact.

Good news on the Foot Care Clinic front. We have a licensed aesthetician who will be coming to

do Foot Care at the Centre on a regular basis. The cost of foot care will increase but I did a telephone poll with some of our members and they seemed okay with the slight increase. Please watch this column for the first Clinic.

Thank you so much to Michelle for all her years of service to our members and thank you everyone for being so patient.

Canada Day Holiday Closure-Monday July 2nd. (Card players will be here at 12:30, no lunch service.)

Aleta Estelle MorashJune 1, 1934 – June 10, 2012

After a long and courageous battle with cancer, Aleta (Lee) passed away peaceful at the Prince Rupert Regional Hospital with her family by her side.

Lee was a loving, caring and sel ess mother, grand-mother and friend, who will be truly missed by all.

In her memory and by request, no service will be held. However, donations can be made to a charity of your choice, or to the Cancer Foundation.

On behalf of her family, we would like to thank all the staff at the Prince Rupert Regional Hospital and Dr. Belgart for their support and kindness while our mother was under your care.

The Morash and Beil Family

Gary passed away suddenly at the age of 53. He grew up in Honeymoon Bay and spent his later years in Surrey, BC. He is survived by his sons Jason (Lindsay) and Scott, father Jerry, mother Kerpaul, brothers David and Rick (Jas), nieces Stephanie and Jessica, precious grandson Mark, and partner and friend Lynn Stuart.

If Gary loved anything more than baseball, hockey, golf, or iced tea, it was his family and friends. He will be missed dearly.

There will be a celebration of Gary’s life held at the home of Bunt and Cliff at 1:00pm on Sunday, June 24, 2012 at 9470 South Shore Road, Mesachie Lake.

A celebration of his life will also be held at his home in Surrey, at 1:00pm on Saturday June 30, 2012.

The National Aboriginal Day Planning Committee did it again, hosting another successful Aboriginal Day celebration on Thursday, June 21 at the Rotary Waterfront Park in Prince Rupert.

The event began at noon, with a number of guest speakers starting off the celebration. Guest speakers included Hereditary Chief James Bryant, Prince Rupert Mayor Jack Mussallem, MLA Gary Coons, Port Edward Mayor Dave MacDonald, School District 52 trustee Louisa Sanchez and Superintendent Lynn Hauptman, Aboriginal Education Council co-chair Marlene Clifton and Aboriginal First Nations Kaien Island Elder Murray Smith - who are both members of the planning committee - and Kevin Leech from the Friendship House Association.

Hundreds of people showed up

throughout the beautiful sunny day to observe a number of excellent entertainers. Students from the Aboriginal Headstart program, the Roosevelt drummers and Roosevelt kindergarten classes showed some cultural dances they’ve been learning, as well as the Sugigyet, Haida Eagle and Gitmaxmak’ay dancers displaying their talents. Locals Jaimee Aubee and Charlie Carlick provided some solo entertainment, while groups Longhouse and the Boss Blue Band offered some rock tunes. Out of town artists also entertained audience members. Sto:lo singer and songwriter Inez Jasper shared many of her contemporary hip-hop and R&B songs, with Nuxalk/Cayauga Nation hip-hop artist JB the First Lady performing twice throughout the day. Both Jasper and the First Lady spoke inspirational words to the audience, sharing their experiences and the importance of

staying true to your cultural.Communities all over Canada

partake in National Aboriginal Day, a day held in recognition of the incomparable contributions Aboriginals have made with the development of Canada, as well as to celebrate the rich and diverse culture.
