(L-R) Catherine Kuehne, Liam Kachkar and Corissa Tymafichuk were all smiles after coming home to St. Albert following a 10-day trip to Ecuador through Free the Children Canada, during which they helped build a shop for artisans in the remote village of Mondaña. Both Kachkar and Tymafichuk said the trip further ignited their passion for social justice. Story, page 3.

That’s the gross domestic product per capita, in U.S. dollars, of Ecuador, compared to $29,300 in Canada. Ecuador also has a life expectancy of 71 years (79 in Canada) and a literacy rate of 93% (97% in Canada).

BY THE NUMBERS

Trip sparks social justice passionGLENN COOKSt. Albert Leader

Liam Kachkar and his friends went to Ecuador to lend a hand, but they’re the ones who came back richer for the experience.

Back in October, Kachkar — a 15-year-old Paul Kane High School student — was the lucky winner of a 10-day trip to Ecuador from Free the Children Canada when he attended We Day celebrations in Calgary. He and three friends got back from the trip this past week, and Kachkar said he was struck by the positive attitudes the people had, even in the face of poverty and hardship.

“Hands down, the people in the community were the happiest people I’ve ever seen in my entire life,” he said. “These people don’t have clean drinking water; sewage is running down the streets like something out of a medieval movie. Yet they’re always smiling and willing to help you and share what little they have with you. That’s such a humbling experience.”

The group from St. Albert included Kachkar, Corissa Tymafichuk, Andrea Payne and Carter Buchanan, and Kachkar’s mother, Catherine Kuehne, acted as a chaperone.

They met up with other regional winners from across Canada and made the grueling trek to Quito, the capital of Ecuador, where they spent a few days getting accustomed to the country and visiting museums.

But the bulk of their time was spent in Mondaña, a remote village in the Amazon rainforest that was nine hours away by bus over treacherous gravel roads.

While in Mondaña, the group helped build a shop for local artisans

where they can make bracelets, necklaces and pottery and sell their wares.

“Free the Children has five pillars they always focus on when they help out villages, and this pillar is alternative income,” Kachkar explained. “When Free the Children leaves — because they’re not going to be permanently there — they want this village to be self-sustainable. And this pillar is to help the village have a stable set of incomes they can generate by themselves.”

Kuehne said that, seeing her son and his friends working so hard to benefit these people they had just

me, she was an extremely proud parent.

“I was really proud, and I was humbled,” she said. “There were no divas in the group; there were no egos in the group. … These kids were in there shovelling wet clay into wheelbarrows, nailing, hammering, sanding — you were always covered in stuff. But I was

humbled by their lack of ego.”But they weren’t alone, as many of

the villagers came out to lend a hand in humid, sticky conditions.

“It was hard work; it was really different than collecting pennies for a water project here,” Kachkar said, adding that Free the Children

founder Craig Kielburger also stopped in to visit. “There, you’re actually physically putting together something that’s going to help these people instead of just raising money and some person will build this for the people. Being involved with the actual community members, talking with them and getting to know them, is completely different. … You’re seeing eight-month pregnant women, eight-year-old kids helping.”

That sense of community was amazing to behold, Tymafichuk said, despite the village’s isolation.

“They’re rich in their culture and their community; you can see it when they’re working. Their friendships, their families, and how they always work together to accomplish one goal. … I wish that we could have communities that are as strong as them,” she said.

While Kachkar is already involved in Paul Kane’s Social Justice League, and Tymafichuk has helped organize the Free2Walk event the past two years raising awareness about human trafficking, both say the trip to Ecuador has helped further spark their passions for helping others.

“I’m so grateful that Liam brought me along with him, because there are no words that could do this trip justice, what it meant for us personally and what it meant for the community there,” Tymafichuk said. “I definitely want to keep pushing forward.”

“It’s a lot easier to help with something you’ve seen first-hand than something you’ve just heard about,” Kachkar added. “Seeing this village of Mondaña, we know just how fortunate these people and how much they’ve taught us, and we’d like to give back on a global basis.”

“The people in (Ecuador) were the happiest people I’ve ever seen in my entire life.”

BAM! ready to get wet ’n’ wildGLENN COOKSt. Albert Leader

Things are about to get wet ’n’ wild once again on Seven Hills this weekend.

The BAM! (Building Assets and Memories) youth group is putting on their second annual Slip’n on 7 event on Saturday from noon to 3 p.m., giving kids of all ages the chance to splash their way down one of two giant slip ’n’ slides on Seven Hills for a $5 donation to charity.

Brad Holmes has been involved with organizing the event for the past two years — and even before that, when the slide was set up at Sir George Simpson Junior High — and said that, with the St. Albert and District Chamber of Commerce’s outdoor farmers’ market happening just a few blocks away, they’re hoping to get a lot more people out to slide.

“Last year, we had it early enough that the farmers’ market wasn’t on yet,” said the 17-year-old Paul Kane High School student. “... We’re hoping to attract a lot more people from the farmers’ market

now.”Last year, Holmes said the

turnout was great even though they didn’t really know what to expect, and he even got a few chances to go down the slip ’n’ slide himself.

“I was one of the test dummies to make sure we had it set up right,” he said with a laugh. “It was awesome.”

The biggest change over last year, though, is the addition of a second slide, which should help speed

things up.“We’re going to have two hoses

for two slides, so we can have people going both slides at the same time,” Holmes said. “That’s the plan; it might not work out the day of (the event) when we start testing it out.”

As well, the slides will be positioned a little further up on the hill, and BAM! has been working to create a better atmosphere around the event, adding speakers and music for a better experience.

Holmes said that events like Slip’n on 7 help BAM! reach out to the community and build up the perception of young people in St. Albert.

“We hear a lot of times people saying, ‘There’s nothing to do in St. Albert; these high schoolers are bored all the time.’ We want to get more youth out into the community and get involved.”

BAM! also has an inflatable obstacle course scheduled for Aug. 20, and their We Run the Night fun run is slated for Sept. 5.

For more information on any of these events, visit www.bamforyouth.ca.

There is nothing quite like the experience of welcoming a guest

from another country to remind oneself of just how amazing a place we live in.

In planning two weeks of activities and sightseeing, the overwhelming majority of the time we will spend with our out-of-country guest will be outdoors: enjoying our parks, trails and beautiful downtown.

Since my childhood, our city has doubled in size and looks very different than it once had; however, what hasn’t changed is the path that I used to take when I was 11 years old to get from my home in Woodlands to the St. Albert Public Library during the summer months. Though there are many more, the trails along our

river remain a significant thoroughfare for cyclists, runners, dog-walkers and families enjoying our outdoors.

Our community has done a wonderful job in continuing to be stewards of the things that make St. Albert the city we love. Recently, city council approved the Management Plan for the Grey Nuns White Spruce Forest, committing to protect one of the remaining stands of white spruce in our region. This historical municipal resource is only a small

part of the multitudes of naturalized areas and parks of which we are proud to maintain and enjoy year-round.

Our city’s history and culture is incredibly rich for such a new city, in comparison to the age our guest’s home. A leisurely walk through the Perron District inspires stops at the museum, gallery, farmer’s market, and small boutique shops. The gentle tapping of fingers on street pianos plays a musical score to explore to while the kids explore the public art and take advantage of a tasty snack at the local burger shack.

That is just the starting point, however, of a much longer historical trek as we travel up across the bridge

to old chapels, school houses and grain elevators that tell the story of those brave enough to change, to leave behind what was familiar and build a better life for their children and generations that followed.

As any outdoor adventure comes to end, it does so with a scoop of gourmet ice cream, an outdoor patio or some time beside the river to enjoy the calmness of the dusk settling on our city.

I am reminded every summer when the green of our beautiful city comes to life that I have been looking forward to summer — not to “get away from it all” but instead to “get away from it all here.” There is no better place to be in July and August than here in our wonderful city.

Getting a new perspective on St. Albert

License to make moneyWho knew that a simple license plate

would cause such an uproar?Maybe it’s because we’re in the

dog days of summer and news can be hard to come by, but it seems the biggest story of past week or so in Alberta has been the redesign of the province’s license plates.

While the government is letting Albertans have their say on how the plates look, plenty of people seem to be up in arms over plans to replace the “Wild Rose Country” slogan with the government’s website.

But there’s a bigger issue being lost in the kerfuffle over the slogan — or rather a bigger idea. It’s an idea that could bring millions of dollars to the province’s coffers, and the timing couldn’t be better. That idea is the inclusion on Alberta sports team logos on license plate for a premium fee.

It’s been proven time and again that sports fans will shell out money to profess their fandom; the dizzying array of jerseys, hats, pennants, toques, mugs and other paraphernalia emblazoned with team logos is proof enough of that. Why not license plates in Alberta?

In Saskatchewan, you can get a license plate with a Roughriders logo on it. In Ontario, you can get plates that show your support of everything from the Toronto Blue Jays and the University of Waterloo to Ducks Unlimited and the Royal Canadian Legion. In Manitoba, you can even get a plate that professes your love for curling.

So why not Alberta plates that have the Calgary Flames or Edmonton Oilers logo on it, or the Eskimos or the Stampeders? Yes, there would be a cost to licensing those logos to use on the plates, but it can’t be especially onerous if other jurisdictions are doing it.

And the rewards to be reaped could be substantial. According to a press release from Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles in 2002, such plates — which, at the time, cost $15 to $25 more than a standard plate — brought in $23 million that year.

That’s a big chunk of change that Alberta is missing out on, but if we can take advantage of this opportunity, it will be something we can all cheer for.

to be to make economic development / prosperity a priority. During my time on Council and attendance at various conferences, economic development was a priority for municipalities across Canada. The statement made by Councillor Heron, in my opinion, gives the perception economic development is not important. A thriving, vibrant, prosperous and growing community must have economic development with a strong business focus to be sustainable, particularly in Alberta where we enjoy a strong economy!

Realtor flexes fundraising muscleGLENN COOKSt. Albert Leader

A local real estate agent is ready to flex his fundraising muscles and push a charity helping at-risk youth past its goals..

Craig Pilgrim, an agent with the Re/Max office in St. Albert, is one of more than 1,000 people who will converge on the Edmonton Expo Centre on Sept. 20 to break a world record by doing more than one million pushups. Each pushup is good for a $1 pledge to iHuman, hopefully raising more than $1 million for the Edmonton-based charity that helps young people turn their lives around.

Pilgrim will be part of a team of four that will try to do 1,000 pushups total between them, cutting his individual goal down to just 250.

But that could be a tough task.“I’ve been doing 30 a day since Jan. 1.

Beyond 30, I think the most I’ve done in one shot is 50,” Pilgrim said.

Still, Pilgrim is keeping sight of why he got involved and the work iHuman does.

“It’s a simple yet powerful idea. It’s the notion that you and 1,000 people can get

together and raise a million bucks doing something as simple as a pushup,” he said. “To me, that reflects in so many ways the power of community, when a bunch of people get together with a simple idea and rally around it. ... I have no doubt there are kids from St. Albert, kids from Sturgeon County who go to iHuman, so this is a way of making sure St. Albert is reflected in the

mix.”iHuman was out raising

awareness for the event on Saturday with a pushup flash mob at the weekly Saturday farmers’ market on 104 St. in downtown Edmonton.

Steven Csorba, a brand empowerment coach with iHuman, said the idea for the million-pushup challenge came about as they try to raise about $5 million to renovate and maintain a permanent home in an old downtown

Edmonton warehouse.“I’m a cancer survivor, and I’ve done

all kinds of things to help people raise money,” Csorba said. “I’ve done pushups before — a buck a pushup, do 1,000 pushups to raise $1,000 for all kinds of different charities. I thought, I’m a fit guy; there’s gotta be at least 1,000 people in the

Capital Region (to do this). Why don’t we go get 1,000 people to do 1,000 pushups, raise a buck a pushup, break a world record and raise $1 million for iHuman?”

Another $5 million in renovations were donated by local construction companies.

The charity is trying to recruit 1,000 people or teams of four, like Pilgrim’s, from various fields like: fitness; community (e.g. police, firefighters, military, government); education and Gen Y; and business.

iHuman, Csorba said, deals with traumatized kids who have grown up in difficult situations and have been involved in drugs, gangs or even prostitution, and helps them turn their lives and rebuild trust through care, creativity and authenticity.

“We do have kids from St. Albert, Sherwood Park, Devon, Stony Plain. It’s a smaller percentage, but we have them,” Csorba said.

It’s the creative component of iHuman’s philosophy that has garnered national and international attention.

“The creativity is the magic,” Csorba said. “The youth make art, whether it’s drawing or painting or fashion or music. When they begin to do that, they begin to discover they do have a voice.”

GLENN COOKSt. Albert Leader

Stephen Khan is throwing his support behind Jim Prentice.

Ahead of Prentice’s visit to St. Albert tonight (Thursday), the St. Albert MLA and former cabinet minister has publicly declared his support for Prentice as he battles with Ric McIver and Thomas Lukaszuk for the Progressive Conservative party leadership.

“In terms of looking at someone who has a vision for the province, a vision of Alberta being a leader from a national perspective and establishing Alberta as a leader on a global perspective, I think Jim is the right man to continue us down that path,” Khan said.

The fact that Prentice is coming in from outside the current PC structure “doesn’t hurt” his public perception, Khan added,

especially given the bad taste left in many mouths over Alison Redford’s term as premier.

“One of Mr. Prentice’s five priorities, and he states it time and again, is that there needs to be an end to entitlements — all through government, not just at the political level,” Khan said. “But he also acknowledges the fact that we need to work very hard to restore the trust with the public. And that’s something I firmly believe in and something I am committed to every day

representing St. Albert.”Prentice will be in St. Albert for

a meet-and-greet session tonight (Thursday) at the St. Albert Inn and Suites (156 St. Albert Tr.) from 7 to 9 p.m. The event is free, but PC leaderships will be available to purchase at the door.

Attendees are asked to RSVP by email to [email protected].

Prentice, 55, is a lawyer by trade who was a Conservative MP in the House of Commons representing Calgary Centre-North from 2004 to 2010. He was named to the federal cabinet and handled several different portfolios, including environment, Indian affairs and Northern development, and industry.

Prentice also has the endorsement of Spruce Grove-St. Albert MLA and Finance Minister Doug Horner, along with numerous other members of the current PC caucus.

So far, Khan has been keenly watching the leadership race, and he said he’s glad there are three solid candidates in the running.

“All three of those candidates are working extremely hard this summer getting their message across,” Khan said. “But, of the three — all of whom I have immense respect for — I think

it’s Mr. Prentice who has the unique qualifications that

set him apart and make him the right man to

be premier.”The new PC

leader will be chosen this

September.

Dion moves back to Alta. for City CFO postGLENN COOKSt. Albert Leader

The City of St. Albert has a new man handling the purse strings.

City manager Patrick Draper announced on Monday morning that Mike Dion has been hired as the City’s general manager of finance and chief financial officer, effective Monday, July 28.

“I am very pleased that Mike Dion will be joining the City of St. Albert,” Draper said in a press release. “He will provide significant financial expertise to assist the City in preparing integrated long-term financial plans, providing superior customer service to

all departments, developing the finance team and providing sound policy advice to council.”

For the last seven years, Dion served as the vice-president of finance and administration for Selkirk College, which has campuses throughout southeastern British Columbia. Prior to that, he as vice-president of administration at Grande Prairie Regional College for three years, and spent 12 years in the post of general manager/controller for Sundance Forest Industries in Edson, Alta. He holds both Chartered

Professional Accountant and Chartered Management Accountant designations.

“St. Albert is a beautiful and vibrant city which has provided our family with many pleasant memories,” Dion said in the same press release. “Moving back to our roots here in Alberta, after an absence of a few years, offers us a renewed appreciation of the benefits of living in this part of Canada. I am looking forward to collaborating with the employees and citizens of the City of St. Albert in providing sustainable and

effective services with a view to the future.”

City council voted Monday to authorize

an increase in the local RCMP detachment’s complement by five

members to 66, continuing the practice of “over-asking” for officers.

On Monday, city council received a sneak peek of

a new City website, slated to launch in late July,

and voted to receive as information a report from

staff on its progress.

Based on a motion from Mayor Nolan Crouse, councillors considered Monday changing the

start time of regular city council meetings from

3 p.m. to 2 p.m. starting Jan. 1, 2015.

CROUSE. . . . . . . . . �BRODHEAD. . . . . . ��HERON. . . . . . . . . . �HUGHES . . . . . . . . �OSBORNE . . . . . . . �PREFONTAINE . . . �MacKAY. . . . . . . . . �

“We need to start recognizing this is a part-time council, and we need to do part-time hours. We need to allow people who are not independently wealthy, retired or happen to already be at home and have the hours available the opportunity to make another income. Moving the start time to 2 p.m. makes it virtually impossible to do that.”

— Coun. Sheena Hughes, whose amendment to change the start time to 4 p.m. was defeated

Regular city council meetings and Standing Committee on Finance

meetings will start at 2 p.m. for the rest of the current

council term; public hearings will continue to start at 5

p.m. Budget meetings in the fall will remain at 3 p.m.


“(This) is simply increasing the authorized strength that establishes an organizational chart number. The number of RCMP officers actually working in St. Albert is (determined) through the budget process and approved by council each year. ... This allows me to continue to try and achieve the full budgeted fill rate council approves each year.”

— Insp. Kevin Murray, St. Albert detachment commander

The city manager will make the request to the federal

government, though it could take 18 months to fill. In the meantime, the detachment will adhere to the amount

set forth in the current and future municipal budgets.

“What they’re doing is proactive in terms of making sure we have the RCMP force in place that we’ve budgeted for.”

— Coun. Tim Osborne


“Our current website was created in 2008, and as you can imagine, a lot has changed in the last six years — not only in terms of the Internet itself, but how our public accesses it and what devices they use.”

— Michael Mitchell,web co-ordinator

The new website will be launched in late July, but new sections and features will continue to be added

over the following two months.

“You’ve worked weekends, evenings, around the clock a couple of times, from what I’ve heard. That doesn’t go without notice. I thank you for the dedication.”

— Mayor Nolan Crouse

“This ... could discourage many qualified candidates from running in the next election, which only serves to diminish the pool of candidates, possibly affecting the quality of future councils.”

— Dana Popadynetz, resident

Arden announces shows for new seasonGLENN COOKSt. Albert Leader

Things are going to be busy at the Arden Theatre starting this fall.

The theatre announced the lineup for its 31st season last week, with both old favourites and new faces bringing music, comedy and dance to the stage in St. Albert.

The season kicks off Sept. 17 when one of the world grandmasters of the bagpipes,

Carlos Nuñez, stops in to share Celtic traditions.

Among the returning favourites this year are Lunch at Allen’s (Oct. 24), the Fred Eaglesmith Travelling Show (Oct. 10) and Royal Wood (Feb. 13 and 14).

A few of the more recognizable names stopping by include Daivd Myles (Oct. 4), who collaborated with rapper Classified on “Inner Ninja”; Marc Cohn (Jan. 27), who had a hit song with “Walking in Memphis”; and Jeremy Fisher (Oct. 17), whose song “Uh Oh”

is climbing the alternative rock charts.

There will be plenty of laughs, too, with comedians Bruce McCulloch (Nov. 2) and Mary Walsh (March 21). Charles Ross returns with his his One-Man Star Wars play on Nov. 13.

For a full listing of shows in the Arden’s new season, visit www.theardentheatre.com.

Hancock continues push for domestic free trade

SUN MEDIA NEWS SERVICES – Changes allowing Canadian wireless phone customers to cancel their contracts without penalty a�er two years have increased the costs of basic plans, while the price of heavy-use plans continued to fall, a study released on Monday showed.

�e price of mobile services has become a hot political issue, with the Conservative government trying to drive prices down by encouraging smaller companies to challenge the dominance of the Big �ree: BCE Inc’s Bell, Rogers Communications Inc and Telus Corp.

Regulators brought in the change as of December 2013, putting an e�ective end to three-year contracts and aiming to stimulate competition by letting people switch carriers. But for the bottom end, this means higher prices.

�e government-commissioned Wall Report showed the monthly charge for basic mobile wireless service rose to $36 in 2014 from $31 in 2013, and $34 in 2010. High-volume users saw their prices decline to $80 from $94 in 2013, and from $110 in 2010.

“�e reduction of contract terms placed upward pressure on service

plan prices given there is now a shorter period available to recover the handset subsidies,” said the report.

However, it said the main phone companies now introduced alternative no-term “BYOD” or bring-your-own-device plans which can yield a discount of $10 to $20 a month.

�e study showed prices by companies newly operating in the market were between 10 per cent and 49 per cent less than the incumbents, and they usually o�ered higher data allowances.

�e Wall Report, which is done annually, introduced a new comparison this year, of international roaming rates to and from the United States available to Canadian and American consumers.

It found the big U.S. players’ roaming call and text rates in Canada were lower than the Canadian incumbents’ rates in the United States, whereas the reverse was true for data — e�ectively a draw.

But it found that the new entrants in Canada o�ered far lower roaming rates than the Canadian incumbents, whereas U.S. regional carriers o�ered either no roaming or very limited roaming in Canada.

MATT DYKSTRASun Media News Services

Alberta is standing with other western provinces to push the federal government into dismantling inter-provincial trade barriers and creating stronger disaster mitigation strategies.

�ose were two of several topics discussed by the premiers of six western provinces and territories last week during a meeting in Iqualuit, Nunavut, said Alberta Premier Dave Hancock.

Hancock said Alberta, British Columbia Premier Christy Clark and Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall have agreed to send a letter to all premiers asking them to put the idea of a domestic free trade zone on the agenda for next month’s Council of the Federation meeting in Charlottetown, P.E.I.

“Canada’s Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT) is over 20 years old,” Hancock said.

“It needs to be updated and modernized and while we’ve seen some progress, it’s slow because you’re negotiating things that are in, rather than what the exclusions are, so it’s a very important discussion for us.”

�e trade barriers are estimated to cost the country $50 billion per year. Federal Industry Minister James Moore said recently that a new internal trade deal to replace the AIT was his top priority.

Hancock said inter-provincial trade barriers are a signi�cant problem for industry, especially when it comes to labour mobility.

“For example, a company in Alberta that wants to do business somewhere else has to re-register. �ere’s all kinds of regulatory barriers.”

On the other side, Hancock said the trade enforcement mechanisms also need work because if governments are inappropriately subsidizing industries, “it leads to competitive issues.”

“I know the steel industry in Alberta and Saskatchewan is concerned about an uneven playing �eld so that’s something Premier Wall and I have

been talking about and wanted to raise here.”

A “big topic of discussion” was also federal disaster mitigation funding. A�er last June’s �ooding in southern Alberta and �ooding

this summer in Manitoba and Saskatchewan, the provincial leaders want to push the federal government “to work more closely with us on mitigation funding.”

“�e current policies allow you to rebuild to the current state, but certainly with the devastation in Alberta last year and �ooding in Saskatchewan and Manitoba this year, we

need stronger mitigation strategies.” Hancock said Alberta will spend $200 million over the next �ve years on �ood mitigation and “while we appreciate the federal contribution, it doesn’t go as far as it needs to.”

Other topics included engaging northern communities on energy development, rail transportation for resources and labour issues, including changes to the federal temporary foreign worker program.

“It’s slow because you’re negotiating things that are in, rather than what the exclusions are.”

BRITTANY KUSTRASpecial to the Leader

Working with entrepreneurs on a daily basis, we tend to notice trends and patterns. Some are obvious, like the annual work cycles of the accountants in our buildings. Some are reported on, like the recent growth of the bio-tech industry across Canada. And some we pick up on through daily conversations with small business owners in the Northern Alberta Business Incubator buildings. Recently, I’ve noticed one word that keeps popping up in most of my conversations: “Busy.”

Small business owners have a lot of work to do, so naturally they must be busy, right? They’re creating and improving products and services, developing customer relationships, marketing and selling, and doing general administrative work. Add in some kind of work-life balance (many of our NABI tenants have small families), and you get one busy entrepreneur.

But according to Laura Vanderkam, you might not be as busy as you say you are. The premise of her book, 168 Hours, is that tracking our time is the best way to use it most effectively. Similar to tracking your spending to monitor money habits, time tracking can show you where your biggest inefficiencies are.

Those frequent email checks, quick looks at the latest celebrity gossip, and interoffice chat windows might add up more quickly than you realize. What if

you spend just five minutes on each of those every hour in an eight-hour work day? There goes 120 minutes, or two full hours of your day, and 10 hours from your five-day work week.

If time wasters aren’t the culprit, then maybe you’re suffering from the opposite problem: too much work. As entrepreneurs, we feel the need to manage every task and say yes to every client. It can be tough to say “no,” so intead try the gentler version: “That’s not a priority right now.” Your time isn’t just limited, it’s valuable. Spending an hour each day on a client

or task that isn’t moving your business forward? If you can think of three things

you could be doing that would be a better use of your time, it might be time to cut the cord.

In a piece for the New York Times,

columnist Tim Kreider posts another theory about what he calls “the

busy trap.” He posits that being busy is a problem we

all strive to have, so that we can out-busy each other. It sounds like

entrepreneurs might be especially prone, as the types of people to “feel anxious and guilty when they aren’t either working or doing something to promote their work.”

His conclusion is that downtime isn’t something to feel guilty about. It’s something necessary for a rich, full life — and taking time to recharge might even boost your productivity!

co-ordinator for the Northern Alberta Business Incubator.

Are you as busy as you think? Jobs growth stalls; 9,400 lost in June

SUN MEDIA NEWS SERVICES – Canada unexpectedly shed 9,400 jobs in June and the unemployment rate rose to 7.1 per cent from May’s 7.0 per cent, underlining how employment growth has stalled despite a recovery in the United States.

Statistics Canada said on Friday that the year-over year gain was just 72,300 jobs, or 0.4 per cent, the lowest annual growth rate since the 0.4 per cent recorded in February 2010.

Analysts surveyed by Reuters had expected a gain of 20,000 jobs in June.

“If you take the moving average for the first half of this year, it suggests very minimal job growth so far in Canada, so it has been a bit disappointing,” said Paul Ferley, assistant chief economist at the Royal Bank of Canada.

Market operators expect worries about soft economic growth will keep the Bank of Canada from hiking interest rates until late next year, a poll found last week.

The bank’s next interest rate announcement was scheduled for Wednesday, when it was also expected to issue its quarterly monetary policy report.

The central bank has kept its key interest rate at a near record low 1.0 per cent since September 2010 and says it will not contemplate an increase until inflation picks up and the economy absorbs more excess capacity.

“It means the Bank of Canada will continue to ignore the recent upturn

in inflation and focus on an economy that is yet to kick into higher gear,” said Sal Guatieri, senior economist at BMO Capital Markets.

The economy created 33,500 full-time jobs in June but lost 43,000 part-time positions. Employment fell in manufacturing and business, building and other support services, while more people found jobs in construction.

The six-month moving average for employment growth jumped to 8,800 from 3,000 in May, when the figure

included a net loss of 44,000 jobs in December 2013.

Commenting on the June report, Finance Minister Joe Oliver said jobs numbers are variable, noting that in May there had been an increase in part-time jobs.

“We expect that kind of monthly variation, but we believe the economy is strong. We have created over one million jobs since the recession,” he told reporters in Toronto.

The unimpressive jobs data followed

recent reports suggesting the economy might be gaining strength.

Inflation in May hit a 27-month high of 2.3 per cent, above the Bank of Canada’s 2.0 per cent target, while rising exports almost wiped out Canada’s trade deficit the same month.

Retail sales in April jumped by 1.1 per cent to a record high while wholesale sales that month advanced by 1.2 per cent, twice as fast as expected.

“We expect that kind of monthly variation, but we believe the economy is strong.”
