Close to 500 people hit up the Site C job fair this week, looking to land one of the coveted openings.
Quesnel was host to the sixth job fair featuring major contractor Peace River Hydro Partners.
“So far we’ve had close to 4,500 people attend the job fairs,” BC Hydro com-munity relations manager Bob Gammer said, noting Fort Nelson will wrap up the tour this week.
“We’ve been to Tumbler Ridge, Chewynd, Fort St. John and Prince George.”
Fort St. John topped the numbers with more than
1,500 attendees. At the week’s end, Gam-
mer predicted more than 5,000 will have attended the job fairs vying for the approximate 1,500 jobs with Peace River Hydro Partners, with additional hires by smaller contrac-tors.
“And that doesn’t in-clude our online applica-
tions,” he said.Some of the main occu-
pations being sought in-clude:
• carpenters • welders• heavy equipment op-
erators• electricians • general labourers • drillers • blasters
Gammer noted the high level of competition but said that’s why the fairs were so important.
“This is why we’re here,” he said.
“To ensure local people have a chance at these jobs.”
Site C will be a third dam and generating station on the Peace River in
northeast B.C.The project will provide
1,100 megawatts of ca-pacity and about 5,100 gigawatt hours of energy each year to the province’s integrated electricity sys-tem.
Construction of the project started in summer 2015 and will be complet-ed in 2024.
Site C job fair draws big crowd in Quesnel
West Fraser supports anti-bullying campaignThe idea of supporting an anti-bullying campaign was born in 2014 by Mike Forster and Natalie Kelly after having success with a group purchase of t-shirts for a Halloween function. Due to time constraints they weren’t able to put the thought into motion until this year. This was very well received by all of their co-workers and the event surpassed their expectations. They were able to raise $565.50 by selling 82 pink shirts as well as receiving cash donations to the anti-bullying cause. Each department stepped up and were in charge of their sales and collections: Natalie Kelly (Sales), Diana Sargent (Woods), Steve Leusink (Corp), Kristina Kennedy (IT), Colleen Stoker (Quesnel Division) largely influenced the participation of their fellow employees. Mike Forster was responsible for selecting a benefactor that would be in line with the principles of the anti-bullying movement. They decided to support the Jesse Miller social media presentation whose partners include the Quesnel District Parent Advisory Council, Quesnel School District, Quesnel junior school and Correlieu secondary school. Presentations take place April 13 – 15. The presentations are for Grades 7 – 12 students and will be hosted at Quesnel junior school and Correlieu secondary school. This event will also include presentations for parents and district teaching staff. The theme for the presentation is keeping students safe online and preventing cyberbullying. Annie Gallant photo

Wendy Donald (current Commissioner) and Angela Mezzatesta (past Commissioner) cut the ribbon on the recently completed Bouchie Lake Community Hall entrance. CRD Area B Director Jerry Bruce shared with guests and community members that “this project is an example of the value of being part of the Cariboo Regional District and City of Quesnel partnership in the Sub-Regional Recreation system.
Tax dollars along with grant money from the Northern Development Initiative Trust (NDIT) Community Hall and Recreational Facilities program made this hall
extension project possible.
By working together and planning for the future, we hope to maximize the use of the facilities we already have and plan the need for the future. “
Donors and Funders that contributed to the Front Entrance
project were recognized, the ribbon was cut and the Hall sign (newly mounted) was revealed.

The Federal Court of Canada has struck down regulations requiring licensed medical marijuana users to buy from Ottawa-approved growers, giving people the green light to continue growing at home.
The ruling is suspended for six months, but the four B.C. residents who launched the court challenge had their growing licences protected under an
earlier interim order. Thousands of people in B.C. and across Canada received licences to either grow pot themselves or designate someone else to do it, before the Conservative government attempted to restrict production to large commercial growers who sent it by mail.
With the Prime Minister Justin Trudeau intent on legalizing recreational marijuana use, Kirk Tousaw, a lawyer for the four, says the latest ruling should
“once and for all end the stigmatization and criminalization” for medical users and their providers.
“And in addition, all pending criminal cases against medical cannabis producers, patients, growers and dispensaries should be immediately terminated,” Tousaw told CTV Wednesday.
“There is absolutely no reason in this day and age to continue to prosecute people for helping people improve their quality
of life with medical cannabis.”
Federal Court Judge Michael Phelan ruled that preventing people from growing marijuana for medical purposes violates section seven of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which guarantees “the right to life, liberty and security of the person.”
The court challenge was brought by:
• Neil Allard, 61, of Nanaimo, a former counsellor
for Veterans Affairs Canada until he was granted medical retirement in 1999 due to “chronic fatigue syndrome.” He started growing his own marijuana after finding he was “sensitive to pharmaceutical medication,” according to court documents.
• Tanya Beemish and David Hebert, a
couple from Surrey aged 29 and 34.
Beemish suffers from type one diabetes and gastroparesis, and smokes or vaporizes two to 10 grams of marijuana a day to relieve nausea, pain, lack of appetite and insomnia.
Hebert received a Health Canada license to be her designated grower.
• Shawn Davey
of Abbotsford, 39, suffered a brain injury in a motor vehicle accident and receives a federal disability pension. He held licences to grow for himself and as a designated grower for others, authorizing him to produce 122 plants indoors and store 5,490 grams at the site of production.

one of the producers set up to provide doctor-
prescribed marijuana to licensed patients.

SupportWe hope you all wore a pink
shirt Wednesday to show your support for the anti-
bullying campaign. But we hope that support will extend past the confines of just one day and find its way into your daily life.In today’s society it is more important
than ever to stand up to bullying in our schools, workplaces, homes and over the internet.Some of the behaviour taking over
playgrounds is a far cry from kids just being kids, but it’s important to real-ize that behaviour doesn’t always stop when children outgrow the monkey bars. Sometimes we forget the impact our words have on others. And in this day and age where, unfortunately, a large amount of interactions take place through devices instead of face to face, it’s sometimes hard to remember there is another human being on the receiv-ing end of that comment.It is so easy to descend into the cess-
pool of anonymity that creates devas-tating situations and in several promi-nent cases has even led to the death of the targeted individual.The facade of false courage created
by social media seems to chip away at the everyday filters we use to interact with each other in a respectful man-ner. While most would not say half the things they type to one another, sitting in front of a computer screen somehow removes a layer of humanity from our society.Sometimes we think we can type or
say whatever we want while on the internet, because, let’s be honest, the chances are pretty slim that the person on the receiving end will ever find out who we are. And even if they do, what are they going to do about it? What can they do about it?More than ever it is important that
we remember that the person on the receiving end of our vile comments, unedited rants and tasteless remarks is a person with feelings, not just another computer.So today we hope you are wearing
a pink shirt: not just to stand up to playground bullies, but to all bullies of all ages. And tomorrow, we hope you maybe think twice about sending that hurtful email or posting that hateful re-mark before it goes out into the world and can’t be taken back.

Women of all ages spend lavishly on each new beauty
enhancement trotted out from hair dyes to wigs to contact lenses to alter eye colour and major plastic surgery.
Women shave or wax every hair from their bodies then glue extensions to their eyelashes, or one hair at a time directly on to their skin where once they grew eyebrows.
But last week Ghomeshi’s lawyer asked a question I expect had never been asked in court before. The lawyer asked the complainant who alleged Ghomeshi had yanked her hair hard, “At the time of the alleged assault, did you have hair extensions?”
A valid question, given that today so much of a woman can be fake.
Oldtimers recall this song about an elderly man’s wedding night:
We got married last Friday, my girl was right there beside me,
Our friends were all gone, We were alone side by side.
We were so happily wed
when, She got ready for bed then
Her teeth and her hair, She placed in a chair side by side.
One glass eye so tiny, One hearing aid so small
Then she took one leg off And placed on a chair by the wall.
I stood there broken hearted, Most of my girl had departed
I slept on the chair.There was more of her
there side by side.We’ve become accustomed
to dyed hair, eye shadow, wigs worn even by those untreated for cancer. The newest fad is fake freckles.
For $28 you can order online a faux freckle kit, Freck Yourself.
The kit comes with 72 self-adhesive stencils and a rollerball formula similar to sunless tanner and allows users to apply several layers of faded freckles on to the skin. The natural pattern doesn’t smudge and lasts two days. Applied every morning, though, the pattern can last from four to six weeks.
Natural redheads are
noted for freckles. I’ve always considered freckles attractive. But comments on the Freck Yourself article report red hair and freckles leading to years of painful bullying.
One 30-year-old American studying film-making produced a Netflix documentary titled “Being Ginger” about his tribulations growing up a redhead.
A classroom teacher delighted in threatening to hang the filmmaker, when he was 7, upside down like a pinata for the other kids to beat. Interviewed by the filmmaker the teacher showed no empathy for the misery he had caused the boy.
When he was 12 and 13 he was so ostracized from the school cafeteria by one girl who sat at a table with his two best friends his principal armed him with a laminated permission slip to eat lunch alone sitting on the floor near the gym.
Any and all attention paid to him as a youngster came because of his red hair. Relatives fawned over him.
Visitors felt free to stroke his hair much as strangers pat a pregnant woman’s belly.
Being the centre of attention pained him so much that as an adult observing little kids cringe as they are singled out by relatives or strangers brings him to tears; he knows how exposed and ridiculed the tots no doubt feel.
As part of his documentary he attended an annual Redhead Fest in Breda, Netherlands where in 2013 a record 5,000 redheads from 80 countries gathered for a week of music and story-swapping.
For once he felt accepted, an average person drawing no special attention.
And though he had never before felt any affinity to another ginger, he met a young woman from Boston. They shared a mutual attraction.
If his school yard bullying is typical for redheads, why would fake freckles be so trendy?

Editor:Open letter to Mla
Simon Gibson and BC liberals, re: loss of a further 100 moose.
Good afternoon Simon, I’m writing today to inform you that I’ve lost another 100 moose authorizations this year.
Not that I would get the 100, but the chance at one, two, or maybe three of the 100 authorizations that were taken from resident hunters like my family were given to another user group.
What is this governments reason for doing this? I lost many opportunities last year to get the draws, and the ministry sees fit to take even more away from me this year.
I went through your Hansard again yesterday, and did not once see where you’ve represented our concerns on wildlife management.
I know you’ve stated in past emails that you would forward my concerns, and one time only have I received a response from ministry of lands and natural resources.
Simon, I’ve been courteous and followed the “protocol”, but I’m really feeling like you truly don’t care about my concerns. If I do get a response from you, it’s usually not in a timely manner.
Is this to draw the process out so that the governments agenda may
be achieved? Or in hopes we give up? The recent deal is another slap in my face. What about the land deals your government is working on and dealing with First Nations in the caribou chilcoltin area as well as with the Kamloops area band?
Not too much publicity on that is there. Nor was there any openness or consultation with other stakeholders on this latest reallocation of moose authorizations.
Your leader boasts continually about being transparent, when in fact, this only occurs after her agenda is secured.
Simon, we need immediate change in land and water protection, as well as wildlife
conservation. Politics has no place in these sectors. They are not pawns to be used to benefit this governments agenda. They are pawns to be used to pit First Nations against non- First Nations or the other way. This is exactly what your leader is doing. In the day and age when she preaches acceptance and tolerance, she sends her workers out to drive a wedge of hate, and intolerance even deeper.
United we stand, decided we fall. Isn’t that the motto? Well, Simon, I can’t allow that to happen. Can you? In your core, your moral core, can you allow it to happen? Saying nothing when we know something’s
wrong makes us just as guilty does it not? Can we continue to pretend that it’s not true? I know you can’t, nor can I. Our faith in Christ doesn’t allow for that. So, I’m calling on you, as a fellow believer to stand up for proper governance, here in B.C. I’m calling on you as my elected official, to step up your representation of my requests.
And it needs to start with denouncing unethical, immoral behind closed door deals by this liberal government with regards to the privatization of this provinces natural resources as a whole, and to take proactive steps to enhance British Columbia’s biodiversity.
I’ve not been just a complainer when we’ve talked. I’ve given you lots of suggestions and possible resolutions. Will you finally work with us, and not just provide the “lip service” so many people are so good at these days? I look forward to that. That will be a wonderful day for B.C., and its inhabitants. I know you do good work on a lot of other activities in your riding.
But it’s time to spread your wings. Your constituent has brought a very real, and serious situation before you.
Sincerely and in conservation,
Ken Grant, resident hunter
Mission
Please stop with the lip service

COMMUNITY
The Wells International Gourmet Ski ran in perfect winter weather in Wells last weekend. Sunshine and warm temperatures combined with crisp trails and excellent cook-ing.
Almost 90 participants enrolled in this years event from 12 cities, and travelled from as far as Cranbook, Vancouver and Taylor to participate. Prince George, Quesnel, Williams Lake and 100 Mile House all were well represented.
This Annual limited-entry event includes skiing across the meadows and Cornish Mountain trail network in
Wells, while visiting food stations serving international cuisine. In addition, there was an opportunity to ski to ad-ditional ‘booty baskets’ for the adventurist skier. Participants of all ages came from the age of one to 71.
The Gourmet ski started behind the Bear’s Paw Cafe in Wells, and ended at the Jack O Clubs General Store, where skiers were rewarded with prizes for best costume as groups and individuals and for a variety of other fun categories.
After the Gourmet ski, par-ticipants had an opportunity to book a congratulatory din-
ner at the Bear’s Paw before heading to the Sunset Theatre for a Mountain Film Festival consisting of a variety of short films with outdoor adventure and mountain culture themes.
The Wells International Gourmet ski is held the third weekend of February annual-ly. The event is run completely by volunteers and raises money for maintenance of the Wells and Area trail system.
Registration at www.wells-barkervilletrails.com begins each December. For more information contact the Wells and Area Trails Society at [email protected] or call 1-866-994-2345.

Relay for Life has a new lease on life. With almost an entirely new organizing team, new venue and new events and activities planned for the 2016 Relay for Life, this seasoned team of dedicated volunteers are looking to make this year’s Canadian Cancer Society fundraising event the best ever.
Heading up the recruitment team, Darlene Osborne is brimming with enthusiasm.
“We’re looking to recruit proven winners (past teams) and eager new teams to our family-friendly, fun Relay for Life,” she said.
“We want to encourage people who have never been involved to come out this year.”
The venue has changed to Baker Creek Park, the day has changed to Friday,
May 27 and the time has changed from 5 – 11 p.m.
Osborne went on to say they will accept teams of any size (hoping for a minimum of four on a team and a maximum of 10-ish) and will accept whatever the team is able to raise.
“The optimal goal is $150/team member but participation and involvement are crucial,” she said.
“We want teams of any age, any con guration, families, co-workers, club members, sports teams, we want them all.”
Relay for Life is about focusing on beating cancer.
This year’s theme is healthy living and to that end several onsite activities including the by-donation community dinner (everyone from the community is invited regardless if your on a team or not, and by the
way bring your family) and several healthy activities, e.g. yoga and zumba.
In this day and age, registering online at relayforLife.ca/quesnel, is the easiest way and it also allows team members to challenge their friends and family and the community at large to donate online.
Donors get their tax receipts electronically and almost immediately after making their donation.
“Team fundraising can also be tracked online so teams can challenge other teams,” Osborne said.
“Funds raised are primarily for research but families in the Quesnel area need to know, in their time of need when someone is battling cancer, services and information can be accessed through the local of ce and nancial support is available because of fundraisers
like Relay for Life.”New to town or don’t
know of anyone forming a team, no problem, register on line and participate as an individual, its a great way to meet new people and have fun as well.
“And if you want to be part of a team, we’ll nd a team to slot you into,” Osborne said.
“Let’s get past teams, new teams, blended teams, smaller teams and individuals involved.
Even if you’re not participating on a team, drop by Baker Creek Park and join the fun, there’s something for everyone on Relay day.”
For Osborne and her team of volunteers this is a celebration of life and they ask anyone who wants to be part of this fabulous Relay for Life to call Deb Burton at 250-255-8225.
May 27, Baker Creek is the place to be.
Time to sign up a team for a fun- lled Friday eveningFun costumes are encouraged and each year teams embrace spectacular outfits as these Pink Ladies of Hope demonstrate.

Relay for Life wants youRoddie
Creek Ranch, a dream
come trueRoddie Creek Ranch, situated just
south of Quesnel, is a good ex-ample of how three families with
experience, knowledge, hard work and a collective love for the land can ful ll their dreams.
It all be-gan when three couples and cousins, Dwayne and Sheri Schweb and Mark and Lory Schweb, as well as their friends Jeremy and Joyce Farmer
who shared their mutual desire to own and operate a large ranch.
They all owned hobby farms in the Okanagan, but to support their families they worked full time jobs. They enjoyed many hours talking and dreaming about their vision of a dream ranch.
Dwayne found the property while on a business trip to Quesnel. After a visit by the families they decided that this was the ideal ranch.
They sold their farms in the Okanagan and moved to the Quesnel area in July 2013 followed by the Farmers in 2014.
Each of the families contributes their share of the workload. They run a 350 head Angus-based cow/calf herd and a 280 head Dorper X sheep ock. All the sheep have hair instead of wool, hence eliminat-ing the necessity to shear.
Guard dogs keep the animals safe from predators and so far they have not experi-enced any losses. As a hobby, they own and raise purebred Texas longhorns.
In addition to the cattle and sheep, they operate a feed grain business, a butcher shop, sell hay and are an electric fence dis-tributor for Speedrite.
On 1,700 acres, there is much to do for all the adults and their children including looking after the animals, crops, farm sales and maintaining all of the machinery, build-ings and fences.
Since purchasing the ranch, they have implemented many changes and are always researching and trying new ideas. The ranch is thriving and expanding.
Teamwork, cooperation, and hard work are paying off in the successful operation of Roddie Creek Ranch and in the realization of a dream for its owners.
For more information or to contact the ranch you can nd them on Facebook or call 250-991-OATS (6287.)

An accomplished impressionistic artist, Judith DesBrisay’s most recent series Possibililties is featured in a solo art exhibit in the Rustad Galleria at the Prince George Two Rivers Gallery beginning with an opening gala March 4.
Judith was raised in the Kootenay region of B.C.; remote, rural and urban experiences influence her ideas and activities. Her art career gained momentum as her role as a community health nurse/educator drew to a close.
Diploma studies at the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design served to focus and further Judith’s artistic explorations as did her extensive travels from the Arctic to Antarctic and living and working with her spouse in Chile, where she visited several regions of South America.
“The lives of others, across time and distance, influence the creative process in my art studio.
“My works emerge from a fascination with the Earth in all its forms, they reference the vital interplay of person and place,” she said.
Her latest series Possibilities reflect her captivation with the flourishing growth of her remote wilderness home garden in
central British Columbia as well as the many observations recorded while living working and traveling in North and South America.
“The Possibilities series evolved from recent garden sketches which illustrate
the delight I experience when immersed in nature, a joy made more intense by the imminent threats to its beauty,” Judith said.
“The paintings are a celebration of life. I hope the works will prompt others to
acknowledge the diversity of life and landscape; its beauty and its challenges.”
Judith also hopes all who view her work will surely consider participation in world-wide actions to ensure the immediate changes necessary to re-establish and sustain Earth’s joyous yet delicate balance of life.
In addition to the exhibit in the Two Rivers Gallery which hangs until April 10, Judith will also have a solo show at the Station House Gallery in Williams Lake in September.
As well, she is participating in five group shows this year, one of which currently hangs until April 17 in the Two Rivers Gallery titled Voice.
“It’s a pleasure to contribute to the Voices of diverse artists,” she said.
Judith’s exhibition history spans 25 years with a total of 22 solo exhibits and participation in more than 80 group exhibits to date.
Her works are included in permanent collections in Canada and Chile.
“I believe, as do others, that person and place are inextricably interwoven entities.
“I hope my art works will heighten awareness of the beauty and imminent perils in the fragile web of life while underscoring our collective need to take thoughtful, world preserving action, wherever we are.”
Cariboo artist set for solo show at Two Rivers GalleryInspiration for Possibilities exhibit draws from nature
Impressionistic artist Judith DesBrisay at work in her studio. She drew inspiration from her remote, rural home garden as well as the world at large. She’s traveled extensively and sees the beauty in the fragility in nature and the people who interact with nature.

Time to go to the movies. Quesnel Film Club presents The Lady in the Van, March 3, 6:30 p.m. at the Carib Theatre. Based on Alan Bennett’s memoir and hit West End play, this brilliantly witty, “mostly true” story chronicles an unlikely friendship between a writer and an elderly eccentric.
The Lady in the Van is a story about the self who, however reluctantly, does things – in Bennett’s case, opening his door (or at least his driveway) to Miss Mary Shepherd (Dame Maggie Smith), an ornery, impolite and bullying homeless woman who claims to take advice from the Virgin Mary.
Despite his private nature, Bennett takes pity on the elderly woman and agrees to let her park her rundown van on his property for three months. It’s likely, however, that curiosity has as much to do with Bennett’s decision as does charity.
Where did Miss Shepherd find this van? Where did she learn French? And who is the strange man who keeps coming around in the middle of the night?
While the questions are many, Bennett has plenty of time to discover the answers to them, as Miss Shepherd tests the limits of his hospitality by stretching the original three-month stay into 15 years.
Directed by veteran Nicholas Hytner, The Lady in the Van is a playful, inventive and relentlessly funny film that reminds us of the value of taking a chance on strangers – and of the long road that gradually turns strangers into friends.
Tickets for The Lady in the Van are $9 (adults) and $7 (seniors). For information call 250-747-7422 or 250-747-3979, join the Facebook page Quesnel Film Club or visit www.quesnelfilmclub.ca.

Jeremiah 5:1-2 Roam to and fro through the streets of
Jerusalem and look now and take note. And seek in her open squares, If you can find a man, If there is one who does justice, who seeks truth, then I will pardon her. (NAS95)
The first thing that struck me when I read this verse was the value of one. God challenged Jeremiah to find one man and if he could,
the whole city would be pardoned on that one
man’s behalf.We are sometimes
tempted to let our standard slip simply because it seems that everyone is “doing it.”
It could be that God is withholding judgment because of the one. It may be that our commitment to telling truth and walking in justice and mercy is having more of an effect than it appears to.
The second thing that
stood out is that it is in the streets and open squares that He is looking for that truth and justice.
Not only in the church or our dealings with Christians, but in our everyday travel and business dealings.
It is the everyday situations that show the true character of a man or woman. How a Christian responds in traffic (roam through the streets) and
other typically frustrating circumstances will be a powerful witness to those around.
The third important thing to note is that God was looking for a reason, however small, to pardon rather than condemn. We ought to be of the same spirit and be looking for reasons to forgive.

RYAN GRAHAMObserver Reporter
The boys of summer have hit the field as baseball is about to begin.
Major League Baseball teams began their Spring Training camps this week with all 30 teams includ-ing Canada’s team the Toronto Blue Jays getting back into the swing of things.
Toronto, who fin-ished last year making it to the American League Champion-ship Series, only to lose out against the eventual World Series champions the Kansas City Royals have begun their camp in Dunedin, Florida. The Jays look to build off their success from last season to prove to their fans and the baseball world that last years success was not a fluke.
Although, they are bringing back a good portion of their players from last year they did lose one key component.
Pitcher, David Price who became a free agent at the end of the year signed a seven year deal worth $217 million with the Jays AL east rival the Boston Red Sox.
Price, who was acquired at the trade deadline from the Detroit Tigers was an integral part of Toronto making the playoffs, as he record-ed nine wins, one loss and a 2.30 ERA with the Jays. With the loss of Price the Jays were forced to make changes, which also included the structure of their front office.
Former President, Paul Beeston retired and was replaced by Mark Shapiro and General Manger Alex
Anthopoulos turned down a contract ex-tension with the club, who then named Ross Atkins as their new General Manager.
On the field, Toron-to re-signed pitcher Marco Estrada to a two year deal worth $26 million.
Estrada was stel-lar for the Jays as he recorded 13 wins, eight losses and fin-
ished with an ERA of 3.13. His post-season was even better as he had two wins, one loss and a 2.33 ERA, which was the lowest among all starting pitchers in the play-offs. They also locked up the reigning Most Valuable Player in Josh Donaldson, who signed a two year deal worth $26.65 million. He finished
with a .297 average, 41 home runs and a league leading 123 runs batted in.
Toronto will begin their journey to get back to the playoffs with their season opener on April 3rd against the Tampa Bay Rays in Tampa Bay and will host their home opener April 8 when they play the Red Sox.

Quesnel’s Jim Dyer has set new records for BC Track and Field. Dyer competed in the BC Indoor Masters Championship Feb. 13 – 14 in Kamloops breaking records in the 1500 and 3000 metre race walk in the 70-74 age category.
Along with those records he also holds the record for the 3,000 metre outdoor. He finished with a time of 10:17 in the 1500 metre and 20:33 in the 3,000 metre, which broke the record of 21:30. He says in the 3,000
metre he knew he was close, so he pushed himself to get to the record.
“I knew exactly what I had to do and I beat it by a minute,” Dyer said.
He says his preparation started this time last year, where he walked in the BC Senior Games.
“I had walked before but only for BC Senior Games and each year I usually won a gold medal in the 5 and 10 km,” Dyer said.
He will be heading back to Kamloops in May to compete in the Dylan Armstrong Track and Field meet.
