The ciTy is preparing to tally its homeless population as part of a larger study being under-taken to determine housing policy priorities.

Terrace's housing crunch, which has seen spiking rental costs and an official vacancy for apartments of zero per cent, is causing concern that low income residents might have difficulty finding a place to live.

Determining the number of homeless indi-viduals currently living in Terrace is one facet of a $25,000 housing needs assessment the city plans on completing by early spring.

“it's a foundation stone that anyone coming to look at housing, whether it’s government or private developers, can utilize to get a better idea of which sector needs this or that kind of housing and where the pressures really are,” said Keith Goodwin, who is the chair of the Terrace housing committee.

“it's going to give us a much better idea of what is actually involved in a comprehensive homeless study, and what we are going to need to do it comprehensively,” said Goodwin of the housing study.

high homeless numbers could mean that the city will place an emphasis on boosting low-income and subsided housing options in future policy decisions, said Goodwin.

housing consultants from the Lower Main-land are in Terrace today until Friday to brief city officials and others leading to the homeless count taking place March 15.

Students squeezed out of cityBy ANNA KILLEN

Two cLASSRooMS worth of students have left the coast Moun-tains School District (cMSD) here since December because their families couldn't find an affordable place to rent – the latest casual-ties of the increasingly tight rental market gripping Terrace, B.c.

According to numbers provided by the school district, at cassie hall elementary on the south side of Terrace, 14 families totalling 29 students have moved away since

December. And at Suwilaawks community School in the horse-shoe neighbourhood, 20 students from 14 families have left over that same time period, meaning the dis-trict has lost 49 students mid-year.

The reason given for these par-ticular moves, said cMSD super-intendent Nancy wells: rent in-creases.

“Pretty shocking,” wells said. “it's very unusual mid-year to see this much ... i don't really know what to say other than it's an un-expected impact and we're really

sorry to lose those kids.” She confirmed it is only these

two schools who have lost students and that enrolment at other Terrace-area public schools is steady. calls to private schools in Terrace confirmed their enrolment is also steady.

“we did have a spike in en-rolment in the primary grades in Thornhill when the school year started this year, and we think that was due to people moving to Thornhill to find adequate housing they could afford,” said wells.

“So, that was on the positive

side. But now it would appear that families in the horseshoe and south of the tracks area are having to leave town to find housing.”

if this declining enrolment trend continues into next year – and wells is predicting enrolment will be down more than originally expected – the district will see less money from the provincial minis-try of education, which will affect the amount of jobs available for teachers and support staff. The dis-trict's budget from the province is tied to the student count that takes

place at the end of September each school year.

“This definitely causes an in-crease in our already declining en-rolment – that's two classes. it's not good news,” wells said.

But she said it's “not a crisis. it's something we will manage for our staffing for next year – however, a district never likes to see declining enrolment and we certainly don't like to see accelerated declining enrolment. i guess the question is, will there be more?”

Northern Gateway’s emergency response will be world class.”

Northern Gateway is committed to protecting B.C.’s waters. That’s why we will plan, prepare for and implement international emergency response best practices.

LEARNING FROM EXPERIENCENorthern Gateway has consulted with dozens of experts, including Dr. Ed Owens, an oil spill specialist who has acted as a consultant to the UN, the Arctic Council, and more. With over 40 years of experience, he was instrumental in helping us develop our marine emergency response program. “I have worked closely with Northern Gateway to develop programs for enhanced spill response along all marine transportation routes. These programs will help ensure the en-vironmental safety along the shipping routes.” Northern Gateway will implement some of the safest marine operations practices from around the world to help prevent a marine spill from ever occurring. We are also preparing for the most eff ective response possible in the unlikely event of a marine emergency.

EXCEEDING EXPECTATIONS Our marine emergency response practices go well beyond Canadian requirements. As Owens puts it: “By placing emergency response capacity at various key locations along the proposed route, valuable time will be saved in the unlikely event of an oil spill – and in a marine emergency situation, response time is critical. But having the right equipment in the right places is not always enough. A world class response capability requires an experienced response team at both the management and operational levels, and integrated training to ensure that timely decisions make the best use of the equipment and resources.”

IMPORTANT CONDITIONSThis past December, the Joint Review Panel recommended that the project be approved, subject to 209 conditions – including ones that require Northern Gateway to implement eff ective spill response measures. We are working towards meeting these conditions, the same way we are working hard to meet the fi ve conditions set out by the Province of British Columbia. In short, Northern Gateway is committedto doing everything possible to build a safer, better project.

ROBIN AUSTIN wants to wait for the � ne print but he’s skeptical of the provin-cial government’s plans to bring in billions of dollars in taxes from lique� ed natural gas (LNG) plants.

A basic explanation of the province’s tax plan was released in its Feb. 18 bud-get but will be spelled out in more detail through leg-islation which will be intro-duced this fall.

It calls for a 1.5 per cent tax of net income once gas starts � owing, a � gure that will rise to seven per cent once companies have de-ducted all eligible capital expenses.

It’s that last part that has Austin, the New Democratic Party MLA for Skeena, es-pecially worried.

“As we know from what’s happened in Australia, these plants keep on getting more expensive. And the more expensive they become, the longer they will take to write off and the more delay there will be in any tax [revenue],” he said.

Large corporations also have the ways and means to move money around, mak-ing it dif� cult to determine

exact income levels, Austin added.

“Large corporations have one responsibility and that is to their shareholders and there’s internal competition for investment dollars,” he said in noting that corpora-tions will leave one project and take up another if it means increased pro� ts.

It’s also apparent the pro-vincial government won’t be meeting its own targets of when it expects to start col-lecting an LNG tax, he said.

Earlier predictions by the Liberal government of at least one LNG plant being in operation and paying taxes by 2017 are now in doubt with 2020 now being men-

tioned as a possible date of when LNG taxation might � ow.

Austin also criticized the province’s commitments to skills training in the new budget.

“There’s all this talk about it, but they’re actually cutting the post-secondary education budget,” he said.

And there’s nothing spe-ci� cally laid out for North-west Community College, Austin added. He found that to be a glaring omission in-asmuch as the province has been telling the region it will be a bene� ciary of LNG.

Austin did � nd some-thing good in the budget – a move to buffer low income families from planned in-creases in Medical Services Plan costs.

Feds to spend millionson aboriginal training

PASSENGER tRAf-fic at Northwest Re-gional Airport contin-ues to grow, with Janu-ary’s total being more than 70 per cent greater than January 2013, re-ports manager carman Hendry.

And there’s no sign things are going to slow down, says Hendry in commenting on the 17,503 passenger total for January.

“Everyone’s busy. the airport’s a busy place. the airlines are doing well and there’s lots of traffic,” he said.

By way of compari-son, January 2013’s to-tal was 9,816 and Janu-ary 2012’s total was 8,916.

Even having 14 missed flights in Janu-ary because of weather and three for other rea-sons didn’t dent passen-ger growth.

“the passengers af-fected are accommo-

dated on other flights by the airlines,” said Hendry.

Helping increase passenger numbers was the arrival the end of last November of West-Jet with twice daily ser-vice to and from Van-couver.

traditionally, Janu-ary has one of the lower passenger totals of the year.

As it is, 2013 set a passenger record with a count of 177,294, substantially more than the 139,193 passen-ger count in 2012 and the 120,384 passenger count in 2011.

the passenger count is based on regularly scheduled flights and does not include char-ters.

But the airport began tracking charter num-bers as a separate tally last June and in the last half of 2013, the charter passenger number was

1,611, said Hendry. in January, the charter pas-senger tally was 350.

the rising number of passengers has resulted in the airport continuing to increase its long-term parking lot area.

“At christmas, we had 581 vehicles in our lots. Obviously we need to expand,” said Hen-dry.

fortunately, said Hendry, it has been a low snowfall year so an area the airport would normally use to pile snow could be used for parking instead.

Last year, the airport doubled its long-term parking area to 340 ve-hicles and the expan-sion now underway should result in a total of 800 parking spots.

the parking area right at the terminal building has about 70 spaces and is meant for hourly parking, said Hendry.

AN AGENcy created to train aboriginal people to work on a planned natural gas pipeline to feed a liquefied natural gas plant at Kitimat has received a cash infusion from the fed-eral government.

the PtP ASEP (Pacific trail Pipeline Aboriginal Skills Employment Partner-ship) training Society had al-ready received federal train-ing monies to train people to work on the pipeline but that effort was delayed when an-ticipated construction starts for both the pipeline and ac-companying LNG project, called Kitimat LNG, were put off.

the new federal money, as much as $6.1 million, was announced feb. 17 by federal employment minister Jason Kenney during a visit to ter-race.

it’s to be used for broader aboriginal training for en-ergy and other projects and not strictly limited to activity surrounding the Pacific trail Pipeline or Kitimat LNG.

PtP ASEP had already been branching out to pro-vide general construction-related and other training.

together with private sec-tor companies, the training society is now expected to train as many as 780 aborigi-nal people in such skilled trades as welding, electrical work and pipefitting.

“Our government is help-ing aboriginal people get the skills and training they need to secure meaningful em-ployment and build better fu-tures for themselves and their families,” said Kenney today.

the training society is made up of the 15 first Na-tions who live along the length of the planned Pacific trails Pipeline, including the

Kitselas first Nation just out-side of terrace.

in the past it has also re-ceived financial assistance from Pacific trails Pipeline which is owned by chevron, Apache and the 15 first Na-tions who make up the train-ing society.

Natural gas for the pipe-line will come from north-eastern B.c. Both the pipe-

line and LNG plant have received full environmental and regulatory approval and Asian customers are now be-ing sought.

Kitselas councillor Judy Gerow, executive director of PtP ASEP Diane col-lins, former Liberal interim leader Bob Rae, who is now the chairman of the board for the fN (PtP) Group Limited

Partnership, and Alan Dun-lop, representing chevron, Apache and Kitimat LNG, were also on hand for the an-nouncement.

Kenney, who represents a riding in calgary, Alberta, also made stops in Prince Ru-pert and in Kitimat, part of a tour which took him across western canada, the yukon and northern canada.

A tERRAcE forest professional has won a volunteer award.

Jacques corstan-je, RPf, was present-ed with the award by the Association of Bc forest Pro-fessionals (ABcfP) feb. 13 in Kelowna.

corstanje, who re-cently started a new position with the pro-vincial Oil and Gas commission, has been a volunteer with the ABcfP since he was elected to its governing council in 2007.

Key to winning this year’s award was his participation on the ABcfP’s Profes-sional Practice com-mittee.

As the chair of this committee, he helped lead the efforts to build a process that makes it clear when someone is, or is not, practising profes-sional forestry.

corstanje and the committee then refined the process by conducting hun-dreds of practice de-terminations in the first two years of the program. that was to which ensure that only qualified people are taking care of the forests.

Eye for crimeAuxiliary constables will assess your home or business to find design weaknesses

that can lead to break-insBY MARGARET SPEIRS

The key to crime-proofing your house or business is to think like a criminal.

That’s the word from Terrace RCMP auxiliary constables Shelly Ullery and Dwayne Sheppard, who have learned how to check for things that can lead to break-ins.

“Think ‘if I can get in, criminals can get in,’” said Sheppard.

Ullery and Sheppard took the Crime Preven-tion Through environ-mental Design course last spring in Surrey, which was three days of intensive classroom time and then some real world practice.

“It was really, really interesting,” said Ullery.

“It was really, really intense, long days.”

The instructor was a retired cop from Lon-don, england and ur-ban planners were also there. The course was about how to design the urban environment to reduce and deter crime, said Sheppard.

One example the instructor gave was a bank that was robbed several times. When the design of the build-ing was considered, it could be seen that post-ers were covering the

windows, blocking any-one’s view of robbers, and shrubs grew by the ATM, where a robber could hide.

With the completion of this course, Ullery and Sheppard can make recommendations but need another course be-fore being certified and able to write official re-ports.

“We try to focus on the positive,” said Shep-pard, adding they first tell an owner the posi-tive things at their home or business that prevent crime and then talk about any things that need to be fixed. It’s about what you can do to make it safer for the community and pedes-trians, says Sheppard.

People don’t realize what makes their house vulnerable and it can be as simple as landscap-ing. For example, if your home is located on a green belt, it provides an easy way for a thief to sneak away after a break-in. People often put up fences and plant hedges for privacy but those items can prevent anyone seeing thieves breaking into the home.

“Criminals think ‘no one will see me,’” said Ullery. Whether a chain link fence or wooden fence is better depends on several things.

A fence is a lot dif-ferent whether it’s three feet high or five feet high – the shorter one is no obstacle for a thief who can easily jump over it and run away.

There’s nothing wrong with privacy and a fence if it’s difficult for thieves to get over or around but leaving a gate open just makes it easier for anyone to get in and out.

“We’re not saying fortify your house,” says Sheppard, adding a home can be made to look nice and not be an easy place for a crimi-nal to break into.

Thieves don’t like big windows where someone can look in and see them. And older windows on a home or business with one pane of glass above another where the bottom one opens make it easy for someone to get in at ground level and should be replaced with ones that open on the top only, says Ullery.

Signs that say a cam-era and videotape are on the premises deter crime because people will think twice. And a sign is not very expen-sive so it’s a cost effec-tive crime fighter.

Outdoor motion sen-sor lights are a great deterrent if they’re ones that can’t be unscrewed; otherwise a thief just unscrews it to go un-seen. And outdoor lights need to be pointing in

the right direction too – a light shining down that only lights up the wall doesn’t do much good so it needs to proj-ect where a criminal would be and it needs to be bright enough too as a dull light doesn’t show much either. Sur-veillance cameras often don’t help police find a thief because they’re not in the right place to identify that person.

Cameras tend to be placed so they get a max-imum view of the entire interior of a business, but that means putting it high up so a thief just has to wear a hoodie and keep his or her head down to not be identified.

Cameras need to be placed at a level where they will be looking at people’s faces and get a good view of them.

“It’s important to have the camera visible so people do not want to go in there,” said Shep-pard. “you have to think like a criminal.”

Think about what item will most likely be stolen and place the camera where it’s in the face of that person in that space, says Ullery.

One small business Ullery and Sheppard assessed had a problem with shoplifting and had no budget to deal with it so their suggestions in-cluded moving items, putting up mirrors and even a camera with a blinking light – all of which keep potential

thieves from taking anything because they know they’ll be seen.

Alleyways are a hot spot where police get called for problems.

Big garbage bins near buildings need to be placed away from the building as they provide a great way for people to climb up on

them and up onto roofs or over fences. And pal-lets left outside leaned against buildings can be used to break a window.

Graffiti should be cleaned off walls regu-larly so it’s clear that the owner isn’t going to put up with it and the van-dal will eventually stop doing it, said Sheppard.

By maintaining lights and replacing burned out lights, alleys will be safer and let people know they’re being tak-en care of regularly.

To have the auxiliary constables assess your home or business, call Const. Angela Rabut at the RCMP detachment, 250-638-7400.

ABOLISH the Senate? No way. Not when it could bene� t northwestern B.C. Here’s how.

B.C. has six Senate seats. Five are � lled. One is vacant. Turns out a Senator can designate the area which he or she wants to represent. Four of B.C.’s current Senators chose the entire province. The � fth, Nancy Green Raine, chose the Thompson-Okanagan-Kootenay region.

So the sixth Senator, in adapt-ing the Nancy Green Raine model, would come from – and represent – northwestern B.C.

The key word here is represent for that would be the expectation of this particular Senator – to act as an ad-vocate for the northwest.

It would be an admittedly risky move for a government to take but at the very least it would have the com-fort of selecting someone tuned to its way of thinking.

This in no way would diminish the role of northwestern B.C.’s elected Member of Parliament.

The Skeena - Bulkley Valley rid-ing takes in a huge area, making it a challenge at the best of times to get around and keep track of issues. Hav-ing another person on the ground in the region and with access to Ottawa cannot be such a bad thing.

Of course, a northwestern B.C. Senator and a northwestern Member of Parliament may not come from the same party and may not always be in agreement. But if the goal is to make this a better place, than surely a couple of adults can � gure that out.

In their mad dash to feed the market for romantic comedies, Hollywood script writers have giv-

en up inventing fresh plots. They all follow one basic plot, merely switching lo-cales, lead characters, and their life goals. Predictable plot complications prevail.

Every movie stars a beau-tiful, young heroine driven toward a single goal, usu-ally to gain the top rung in her work. Yet in practical matters, such as forecasting weather and reading road maps, they lack the common sense of a 10-year-old.

The movie begins with a brief introduction to the two main characters giving us their motivations and a glimpse at the impediments they will face. Invariably, the ladies set off in subzero tem-peratures with no clear idea of their destination, wearing high heels and couture suited for dashing from taxi into a Fortune 500 of� ce.

Immediately the scene shifts to some distant terri-tory foreign to them.

In “The Proposal,” San-dra Bullock, editor of a New York publishing house, faces the loss of her green card. To avoid deportation, she lies to

Immigration, claims she is about to wed her assistant, Ryan Reynolds, an Alaskan whom she thinks is poor but whose family, it turns out, owns every business in Sitka, including the airport.

Bullock and her intended are given a weekend to prove their sincerity to Immigra-tion’s satisfaction. This en-tails meeting Grandma Betty White, who is celebrating her birthday, and staying at the family’s main lodge which rivals a Banff hotel for size and amenities.

In the movie, “New in Town,” Renee Zellweger is dispatched from Miami head of� ce to Minnesota days be-

fore Christmas to downsize the labour force of a small yogurt plant. (When stories happen a day or two before Christmas former boy or girl-friends have logical excuses to attend and throw wrenches into the gears.).

In “Snow Bride,” the lead female speeds off from Los Angeles into a western wil-derness blizzard to capture a tabloid story before her com-petition does. If she gets the story � rst, she will become editor of a � edgling online gossip magazine. She wears only a short sleeved blouse, shorts, and runners. In her haste she packed only her friend’s wedding dress which she has promised to deliver. She doesn’t even make motel reservations.

All three women must be rescued from hypothermia, two of them after driving into a snowbank. (The Snow Bride, in a futile attempt to get warm, dons the wedding dress over her July clothing. Her rescuer offers her a warm � annel shirt and a pair of his jeans.) They are taken � rst to a caretaker’s cabin roomy enough for a family of six. The phone is disconnected; there’s no cell phone recep-tion. But the guest room has

en-suite plumbing. A drunk Zellweger is lifted from her stalled car by the yogurt plant’s union rep, torching a sustained rivalry between management and union.

Meeting the rescuer’s Sitka parents, Bullock and Reynolds claim to be en-gaged. Though stunned by the news, they had no inkling their son was dating, Mom and Dad expect the young couple to share a bedroom. This leads to awkward but hilarious moments.

The day after the rescue – if not before – the rescuer’s brother shows up with the rescuer’s ex-� ancée in tow. Jealousies � are, ending in � sticuffs, or a rowdy rugby game in the oddly snowless, treeless backyard. No mat-ter how remote these sites are, the house has every con-venience and acres of cozy bedrooms.

Experience has taught me to expect little new from a romantic comedy but plenty from a Hallmark presenta-tion which the “Snow Bride” was. Sadly, this � lm, too, plodded along the predict-able pattern of a time worn plot, routine from start to � n-ish, brightened now and then with a fresh quip.

Movie plots just a bit tiresome

City lays foundations for housing growth

Terrace Standard Wednesday, February 26, 2014 VIEWPOINTS www.terracestandard.com A7

One of the areas of chal-lenge that we face as the area grows is housing. Council has

spent a considerable amount of time putting new policies in place as well as providing development incentives and forming partner-ships to build affordable housing to help us effectively manage our growing community.

Here’s a chronological list:2008  - A  new, one family,

residential zone  (R1-A), was es-tablished  which  permits smaller than typical residential parcel siz-es with 12 m minimum frontage. This encourages  increased  den-sity and infill  and offers oppor-tunity for new smaller home construction. This could provide more affordable market housing for young families, couples or seniors.

2008  - Council identified housing as a top priority and es-tablished a housing needs task force.

2009 - The housing task force directed  Eberle  Planning and Research to prepare a housing needs assessment titled ‘Housing Terrace: Trends,  Needs and Di-rections 2009.’

2009 - A zoning bylaw amend-ment was adopted permitting sec-ondary suites, already allowed in the  AR1 (agricultural) and AR2 zones (rural  residential),  to be

constructed either in an accessory building or within the principle dwelling.

2009  -  Council  established  a revitalization tax exemption area encompassing most of the down-town. In addition to providing in-centives for commercial develop-ment, this program benefits new multi-family development by offering a tax exemption for five years based on the value of the improvements.

2009  –  The city received a grant from ACT BC which en-abled a study of secondary suites in Terrace, as well as supporting informational workshops for resi-dents, realtors and contractors in-terested in developing suites.

2010/2011 –  Municipal plan-ning staff prepared the new Offi-cial Community Plan with hous-ing policy refined by a policy working group.

2010  –  “Market Estates,” a federal/provincial funded seniors housing facility, was constructed on Davis Avenue. This  subsi-dized  housing  project was com-pleted  by BC Housing, provid-ing 24 units of housing for seniors and people with disabilities. The City of Terrace  acquired addi-tional  land  to enlarge a parcel it already owned, and provided  in-kind support. The city contributed $80,000 to support this project.

2011  -  Housing policy  de-

veloped through 2009 – 2010 was  adopted with the new Offi-cial Community Plan in 2011.

2011  -  City of Terrace, in partnership with CMHC and BC Housing, hosted a regional hous-ing workshop.

2011 - 2013 – The city budget included a provision  for  top-up incentives to support homeown-ers to undertake  LiveSmart  BC home energy assessments.

2012  – Council established a standing housing committee of council.

2012 - The housing committee, consisting of appointed commu-nity members and two municipal councillors,  developed a  hous-ing action plan. The action plan

included several specific recom-mendations related to addressing housing issues and needs in the community. The committee also identified and agreed to support the Terrace and District Christian Council in the development of an additional five units of subsidized seniors housing at their property on Tuck Avenue.

2012 - A zoning bylaw amend-ment was  adopted, permitting secondary suites in the R1 zone. (single family residential)

2013 - Promotion and support of BC Hydro’s home energy kits for low income households.

2013 - A zoning bylaw amend-ment was adopted permitting sec-ondary suites, already allowed in the RR1 (rural  residential) zone, to be constructed either in an ac-cessory building or within the principle dwelling.

2013  –  The City and Terrace and District Christian Coun-cil applied jointly for, and were awarded,  CMHC  seed  grant funds  to  complete prelimi-nary designs for the construc-tion  of five  additional  town-house  units  at  the Tuck Avenue seniors project.

2013  – Council endorsed the membership of the Tuck Avenue seniors steering committee who will oversee the construction of the seniors housing units on this site in the summer of 2014.

2013 – Council passed a reso-lution supporting the Ksan So-ciety in their proposal to build 15-20 units of affordable hous-ing through a  commitment to negotiate the lease of city-owned land on Haugland Avenue for this project.

2013/2014  –  Council com-missioned an update to the hous-ing  needs assessment, which will be completed by  March 15, 2014. The funding is partially from the municipal budget with a grant support from the Real Es-tate Institute of BC. The second housing needs assessment will identify needs for non-market (subsidized) housing, incorporate research on the increasing costs of market  housing in Terrace, and provide recommendations regarding the market housing de-mands and investment opportuni-ties in the city.

2013 – CMHC fall release of Rental Market Housing Report confirms Terrace having a 0.0 per cent vacancy rate for rental hous-ing. This is the lowest vacancy rate in the province.

2014  –  The city intends to conduct  the first  annual “home-less count” to determine the accu-rate number of homeless persons in Terrace.  This will tentatively be carried out in late March.

Dave Pernarowski is the May-or of Terrace.

Don’t dodge disabled parking issue

g u e s t c o M M e n tDAVE PERNAROWSKI

Dear Sir:I am grateful for

Margaret Speirs’ ar-ticle of Feb. 2, 2014 on the problems asso-ciated with disability parking permits.

It would have been helpful to quote some sections of the Motor Vehicle Act (MVA) as they apply to parking for disabled persons in Division 38.

The permit itself has the rules for its use. One thing it makes clear is that unless the permit holder gets out of the vehicle it cannot be used.

It is not enough to simply be in the ve-hicle.

All the rules are plain common sense.

The permit is issued to one person, not the vehicle.

It is issued for three years and then it ex-pires. Some disabili-ties are temporary and some will not be vis-

ible.Disability permits

need to be checked pe-riodically.

The expiry is noted on the edge of the per-mit so any attempt to cover the edge is likely to hide the fact that it is an expired permit.

M u n i c i p a l i t i e s stopped issuing per-mits in about 1990 and the provincial govern-ment introduced a sec-tion in the MVA which states:

38.07 Permits is-sued on behalf of Mu-nicipalities that are unexpired on January 1, 1991, shall be recog-nized and considered to be valid permits un-der this Division until they expire or, where no expiry date is given, until January 1, 1994.

The act makes it quite clear what is an offence:

38.08 A person com-mits an offence who:

(a) Makes a false

statement in an appli-cation,

b) Stops, leaves standing or parks in a disabled zone a vehicle not displaying a permit unless the vehicle is stopped, left standing or parked for the pur-pose of transporting a disabled person,

(c) Mutilates, defac-es or alters a permit,

(d) Stops, leaves standing or parks in a disabled zone a vehicle that does not display

(i) a permit issued under this Division, or

(ii) a permit of sim-ilar nature issued by another jurisdiction, or

(e) lends or trans-fers a permit to another person, whether or not that person is disabled.

What troubled me most about the article is the almost cavalier attitude of the people interviewed and in charge of enforcing these provisions.

The police are sup-posed to enforce the MVA. That there is “ample parking” does not factor into the dis-cussion.

Maybe there would be fewer violations if “officer discretion” was not used so fre-quently and a few fines were levied.

Announcing that a vehicle should be moved does not deter the practice, but towing the vehicle might.

The city “places the responsibility on

the property owner to supervise and enforce use” but what business is going to go out and alienate a customer by effectively enforcing a provision of the Motor Vehicle Act and a park-ing space required by city bylaw?

I would also be cu-rious to know from the RCMP how many “officer’s discretions” have been used and how many fines issued in the last say, 10 years.

So what they are all saying is that a person with a disability does not have enough daily challenges, we will now ask them to do the job of monitoring by “raising concerns with the property owner” as well?

Astonishing! No wonder the city has re-ceived no complaints.

Why would anyone bother?

A NISGA’A Nation delegation is going to an international energy conference and trade show in Korea next month, hoping to add its name to the list of those standing to benefit from B.C.’s potential lique-fied natural gas (LNG) industry.

The attraction is four locations on the north coast the nation either owns outright or which it would hope to bundle with adjacent provincial crown land to present a large enough parcel to contain a LNG facility.

The Nisga’a feel the locations are suitable not only for LNG plants but they also provide plenty of room for the tankers which would dock at the facilities to load the super-cooled fuel for transport to Asian customers.

Two pipeline com-panies are already sur-veying land and marine

routes through Nisga’a territory for two com-panies hoping to build LNG plants near Prince Rupert and Port Ed-ward.

Other energy com-panies, Woodside from Australia and the China National Offshore Oil Corporation, through a subsidiary, have taken out options on pro-vincial Crown land at Grassy Point near Prince Rupert for plants of their own.

Nisga’a Lisims Gov-ernment executive chair Kevin McKay says one of the keys to the Nisga’a proposal is that companies can avoid the cost of further land or marine pipeline con-struction south to the Prince Rupert area once those pipelines reach the Nisga’a-owned coastal locations from gas fields in northeast-ern B.C.

“The [2000] Nisga’a

Final Agreement gives us unique opportuni-ties,” said McKay of the ability of the Nisga’a to negotiate on land and other resources with companies. “With self government, we do have the wherewithal.”

The ability of com-panies to have certainty stemming from the trea-ty goes hand in hand with the treaty ensuring Nisga’a rights and in-terests are represented and protected, McKay said.

McKay acknowl-edged that the Nisga’a are on a steep learning curve considering there are now three LNG proposals centering on Kitimat with locations already established in addition to the two – and possibly more – locations in the Prince Rupert area.

“But that is our ob-ligation, to learn more. We do feel there is a

window of opportuni-ty,” he said. “There are no final investment de-cisions yet and may the best proposal win on its merits.”

While that does bring out the competitive na-ture of doing business, McKay said the Nisga’a Final Agreement offers the Nisga’a Nation the

opportunity to operate within a market econo-my.

“We have an obliga-tion to pursue sustain-able development for the Nisga’a Nation,” he said.

McKay did add that it is still too early to in-dicate what kind of eco-nomic arrangement the Nisga’a would strike with any particular LNG company.

The Haisla near Kiti-mat have already struck a deal with Chevron-majority owned Kitimat LNG to use Bish Cove, which is on Haisla re-serve lands, as a plant and loading facility.

In return, the Haisla will be in line for a va-riety of economic ben-efits, including taxation and jobs.

They also have an equity share in a pro-

posed small floating LNG facility in the Kiti-mat area.

Both proposals now have regulatory and en-vironmental approval from the federal and provincial governments but final investment de-cisions have yet to be made.

And the Nisga’a are not the only ones look-ing to locate a LNG facility in their neigh-bourhood.

Kitsault Energy, a company owned by Krishnan Suthanthi-ran, who also owns the former mining town of Kitsault on Alice Arm north of the Nisga’a lo-cations, is also looking for LNG customers.

Its sales pitch is similar to that of the Nisga’a in that a route to Kitsault from north-eastern B.C. is shorter

than to other coastal lo-cations.

But instead of a land-based LNG facility, Kit-sault LNG is marketing the Kitsault location as one suitable for a float-ing LNG plant.

The international en-ergy gathering in Korea, being held in the coun-try’s capital of Seoul, is called the 2014 Gastech Conference and Exhibi-tion and is billed as the largest conference of its kind in the world.

Gastech is held every 18 months and this is the first time it has been held in Korea.

A prime sponsor of the event is Kogas, short for Korea Gas. It’s a partner with two other Asian companies and Shell Canada in a proj-ect called Canada LNG which has chosen Kiti-mat as a location.

Nisga’a join in on LNG hunt

■ TreatsIt was International Dessert Night Feb. 19 as members of the area guiding movement gathered for a combined meeting at Up-lands Elementary. Enjoying the treats are, from the left, Pathfinder Kallie Edwards, Ranger Luane Dorais-Fleming, Pathfinder Mack-enzie Gorman and Guide Merrah Edwards. Proceeds from the event will help young people elsewhere gain an education.

Dear Sir:After reading En-

bridge’s Janet Holder’s recent full back-page commendation of the Joint Review Panel’s Northern Gateway re-port, I wondered how she sleeps at night, giv-en what she has to sign her name to.

Ms. Holder, or some-one writing for her, not-ed that Northern Gate-way has had “the most comprehensive, scien-tific review in Cana-dian pipeline history.” Given that the panel did not see the held-back report on diluted bitu-men’s behavior in water (and likely others, too), and given the general approach to science of the current regimes in Alberta and Ottawa,

we must wonder at Ms. Holder’s, or her writ-er’s, ability to gauge the level of competence in other pipeline reviews.

That science should now also include the new University of To-ronto report on the underestimation of oil sands pollution and health risk. Further, ongoing global climate science has to be recog-nized for never revers-ing its objection to oil sands exploitation.

Ms. Holder also claims that the panel concludes “Canada and Canadians would be better off” with North-ern Gateway and that the panel’s report re-flects the “input of thou-sands of British Colum-bians and Canadians.”

Given that such a “better” is so loaded with bias it deserves ridicule, and given that the input of those thou-sands was overwhelm-ingly negative, we have to wonder what pinata Ms. Holder, or her writer, has been flailing at with her pen. That input should now also include the 10 lawsuits, and counting, that are now challenging the panel’s recommenda-tion. It should also just be stated honestly.

Ms. Holder con-cludes that “Building a better pipeline isn’t easy.” Harder still: to accept that it won’t be built.

Dr. David Heinimann,

Terrace, B.C.

Reading to Ollie boosts literacy

EvEN ThOUgh Relay for Life is still a few months away, it’s time to sign up at least eight members of your team.

Before March 1, the entry fee is half of what it will be afterward and there’s prizes to be won, says this year’s chair for the local relay Kory Tanner.

“We encourage all survivors to also reg-ister and there’s prizes for them too,” she added.

And for those who want to be part of a team but who work Saturdays, there is a vir-tual team to join.

Sign up for a relay team and wear the team shirt to work that day.

You will get a sign to display at work and a virtual team tent will be set up at the relay so people will know who’s working but also participating, said Tanner.

Schools and businesses are encouraged to sign up their teams and then to challenge their competition to register and raise more money than they can, she added.

The theme for this year is Carnival for the Cure and teams are asked to come up with their own carnival game.

Other carnival games will be going on throughout the day.

Another new thing is that the relay com-mittee is looking for someone to sponsor the big blue and white tent used in george Little Park for many events and under it will be a tug-of-war, three-legged race and other games, said Tanner.

Relay participants can register online, or phone 615-2375 or email k.tanner@telus.net.

The Relay for Life takes turns walking the track at Skeena Middle School from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. May 10.

■ Hobiyee!Selina SkulSh leads the kindergarten class-es down the hall to the hobiyee celebration in the Suwilaawks gym Feb. 19. The kindergarten classes started the event by singing and act-ing out a canoeing song, paddling around their classmates.

TO hELP interest children in read-ing, a new visitor has been coming to the library to listen to young people read to him.

Read to Ollie encourages children aged kindergarten to grade 4 to sign up to read to golden retriever Ollie for a 15-minute session in March after a successful couple of days in February.

Coast Mountains School District literacy coordinator Anne Dopson brings Ollie to the library as part of the R.E.A.D., which stands for Read-ing Education Assistant Dog, pro-gram.

It’s a trial project right now at the library but hopefully will become a regular program, says Dopson.

The idea is to help children be-come better readers by reading to Ol-lie, she adds.

Students in schools also read to Ollie, who is an official school dog for Suwilaawks Community School,

Cassie hall and Thornhill Primary.In the schools, he works one-on-

one with students who are significant-ly at risk and have made a connection with Ollie, says Dopson.

“he helps them to focus, keep calm and become confident, whether it’s taking him for a walk, brushing him, brushing his teeth or just sitting with him,” says Dopson.

And to that end, she trains Ollie to remain calm in any situation and continue to work with children and adults.

She’s also looking to have him cer-tified as a therapy dog.

“I will continue to use my training and knowledge to teach students and other people how to be pack leaders, how to use assertive, calm energy and understand dog behaviour, with Ol-lie’s help,” she says.

For more details on reading to Ol-lie at the library, see Community Cal-endar on page 12.

kyah bevan, 6, reads to Ollie the reading dog at the library Feb. 17. The pilot program, ReaD to Ollie, invites children from kindergarten to Grade 4 to register to read their favourite book to the canine for 15 minutes on selected dates.

LOCAL PRIMARY and elemen-tary students will be learning strategies to combat bullying starting today, which is Pink Shirt / Anti-Bullying Day.

Two programs are being rolled out to help young people from kindergarten to grade 3 and grades 4 to 6 to stop bullying.

The programs are being put on by Big Brothers and Big Sis-ters of Terrace.

At assemblies this morning, students at Thornhill Primary, Thornhill Elementary and Spring Creek Adventist schools will get an introduction to the WITS pro-gram for the younger students and the WITS LEAD program.

WITS stands for Walk away, Ignore, Talk it out, Seek help; and LEADS is Look and listen, Explore points of view, Act, Did it work, Seek help.

“In my opinion, I think it’s

because it’s empowering for children to work through issues and it also teaches them lifelong problem solving / conflict reso-lution skills,” says Big Brothers Big Sisters coordinator-fundrais-er Monica Watson about why ‘seek help’ is last on the list.

“The idea behind it is to in-volve school, families and com-munities to all give the same message to help children if they are faced with bullying.”

At today’s assembly, younger students hear a story and Terrace RCMP community policing offi-cer Const. Angela Rabut teaches them the WITS handshake and oath. Older students will see the “tug-of-help” skit.

In the skit, a child on one end of a rope is a bully and the child on the other end is the potential bullying victim.

In the first pull, the bully wins.

But on the second pull, oth-ers join in and help so the bully loses.

“I think with the tug-of-help skit, the kids will see that on the first try, you do it on your own but with the second try, you’ve asked for, and received, help,” says Watson.

“To me, WITS is really good for dealing with the other more indirect types of bullying.”

The program continues with teachers reading selected litera-ture and using a suggested lesson plan for their students.

Then every two months, com-munity leaders visit classrooms to keep interest in the program.

This also allows children to interact with positive commu-nity role models, reinforcing the WITS message. The program has been used at Cassie hall for about a year-and-a-half.

Students learn to use ‘wits’ to stop bullying

Early winter was remarkably calm and mild this year, but February? It’s been anything but mellow—bouts of bitter cold, severe wind,

surprise flurries and big snowfalls simulta-neously awed and daunted me. (The snow is spectacularly pretty, but sometimes I just want my days to be easy, no jacket or boots required!). And my brain this month is similarly filled with heaps of stuff to wade through, shovel, and scrape. Some of it is work intensive and slightly tire-some, but other bits are beautiful.

I’m on the cusp of another big life change. (Wow, new phases just keep com-ing, don’t they? I’m starting to think that from our toddler years on, life is noth-ing but a constant flux of developmental stages!) And the trigger of this one? My daughter is getting married.

If you remember some of my earliest columns, like the one about a road trip to Vancouver with her and baby brother, or the one about her obsession with salsa cones (Yes, ice-cream cones filled with salsa. Yum, hey?), you know she was very, very young when I published my first column and now she is getting married. Bizarre!

Her fiancé, my son-in-law to be (How weird is that?) is wonderful and I already love him, but I’m still shocked and kind of terrified. Is she, is he, ready for marriage? But the worry—the question itself—makes me roll my eyes. Are any of us ever ready for it? No matter how fortunate you are in who you commit to for life, or how much you love him or her, marriage is constant adjustment, isn’t it?

I cannot not worry, of course, because I’m her mom and because I’m me, a worrier extraordinaire, but I’m also really excited about all the happy potential for her, for

them, to experience so much joy, laugh-ter, comfort, and companionship.

Another thing on my mind these days is the move of an old, close friend back to town. After graduation we were sup-posed to head for the city together, but I ended up falling in love and staying here instead. She adventured off alone. And now, after 23 years, she’s back. It’s as surreal as my daughter getting mar-ried, albeit it in an opposite way. The impending nuptials make me feel like two decades have zipped by, while my friend’s return makes me feel no years have passed at all. In my head we’re still 18, with all our lives before us. In real-ity we’ve said hello to 41, but something great’s still true: the rest of our lives lay before us!

I’m also very busy right now, as I’m sure you can relate. There’s a lot going on at work. I have some exciting, but also scary, writing plans that require strenuous effort and time. I’m trying to make healthy life-style changes. I also want to spend more time with some specific friends and family members.

Feeling a bit overwhelmed, the following quote shared on Facebook was a huge encouragement: You are going to want to give up. Don’t.

I don’t know if the line resonates with you, but it was encouragement I really needed. I’m going to scribble the words somewhere to keep as a reminder for myself, or to share if anyone else needs them.

I realize this wasn’t my most organized “Just a Thought,” but sometimes that’s how thoughts are, clut-tered and jumbled, or, like the February snow—plentiful, piling up, just waiting to be trekked through.

FOR A book title, “Four Great ‘F’ Words” certainly grabs atten-tion. But it’s not what you might think for the subhead of ‘Fur, Feathers, Fish and Fun’ tells you right away you’re heading for a story or stories about animals.

And that’s mostly the case for “Four Great ‘F’ Words” is in-deed a collection of short stories about the wide variety of ani-mals encountered by author Nadine Jones during the years she spent in Terrace beginning in 1971. But there’s also the story of the log house built on a large piece of property on the way to Old Remo.

Jones is better known among longtime Terrace residents as Nadine Asante, the author of “The History of Terrace,” published in 1972 by the Terrace Public Library Association.

She originally came north with husband K.O. Asante, a phy-sician who has since established an international reputation for research into fetal alcohol syndrome.

“My husband worked at the hospital all day and a lot of nights so I was left to create a farm in the forest,” Jones writes.

The farm required a barn and outhouses to hold an assortment of chickens and goats, leading to many experiences involving constructions and trips to the Co-op. “Here I was, a city woman all my life, driving down a dirt road with a loaded gun to scare a bear,” Jones recounts in one recollection.

In addition to stories about animals, Jones also provides vi-gnettes of local residents who helped shape her life in the area in one way or another.

Now 91, living in Richmond and long divorced, Jones, during a phone interview, brings up one point dear to all former Terrace residents – the weather.

“I remember, when we were living on Soucie Ave. before we moved to our property, we had to tunnel through the snow to our front door.”

Copies of “Four Great ‘F’ Words” are available at Misty River Books.

TERRACE SEARCH and Rescue volunteers were called out last week to look for some-one who, in the end, needed no assistance.

The call reporting an overdue � sherman

came early last week, report Terrace RCMP.

“Police activated search and rescue and an area off of Kalum River was searched via all-terrain vehicle,” a police report for activi-

ties from 8 a.m. Feb. 17 to 8 a.m. Feb. 18 indicated.

“The 46-year-old man was located and not in need of assis-tance,” the report add-ed.

“Discussions were had about giving ac-curate information to contacts before head-ing out into the bush,” it continued. The ad-vice applies to anyone venturing outdoors.

Man wasn’t missing after all

By ANNA KILLEN

THE COAST Mountains School District (CMSD) board of education voted unanimously to support teach-ers in their ongoing dispute with the provincial government at last week’s board meeting.

In a motion tabled by Hazelton trustee Lynn Newbery Feb. 19, trust-ees agreed to write a letter to Premier Christy Clark and education minis-ter Peter Fassbender “stating that we believe that the government needs to fully fund K-12 education, that the government needs to begin negotiat-ing in good faith with the BCTF (B.C. Teachers' Federation), that the gov-ernment needs to ensure that chang-es to class size and composition are implemented in a way that minimizes disruptions to students and families.”

The motion “refers to a situation that everyone in the room is aware of, it's widely known,” said Newbery.

She's referring to the chilly re-lations between the BCTF and the provincial government following a recent BC supreme court decision in favour of the BCTF.

Madame Justice Susan Grif� n

concluded in her ruling that the B.C. government did not bargain in good faith with the BCTF.

She imposed a $2 million penalty on the government and struck down legislation restricting teacher bar-gaining of classroom conditions.

The provincial government is ap-pealing the decision, which education minister Peter Fassbender has said could cost the government $1 billion.

Meanwhile, the BCTF and the province began their latest round of bargaining earlier this month.

Teachers asked the board for a let-ter, said Newbery.

“We're happy to do that,” she said. “I think I'll just leave it at that. This may just be the � rst of several letters that we want to go to the government and the minister of education and the premier.”

Kitimat trustee Linda Campbell was pleased with the board's decision to write a letter.

“I'm happy to see that we're actu-ally doing this, I think it's very impor-tant for the students and also teach-ers, support staff workers, and every employee,” she said. “I believe it's the right thing for us to do.”

Kitselas seek new water supplyBy Josh massey

the Kitselas First Nation hopes that tap-ping spring water from an aquifer located in Kleanza Creek Provin-cial Park will help solve a water shortage prob-lem that its Gitaus com-munity 15 kilometres east of terrace has been quietly enduring since early last year.

the single well in Gitaus was deactivated in 2012 when it reached the end of its life 20 years after being exca-vated, which is a typical lifespan for a potable water well.

since January 2013, the water has had to be trucked into Gitaus every two weeks from the Kitimat-stikine re-gional district system to fill up the water tank located on a tower near the entrance to Gitaus off of hwy16.

according to Kit-selas Chief Councillor Joe Bevan, the practice leads to water short-ages, especially during summer.

“it gets pretty tough in the summer because we have to put every-body on water restric-tion,” said Bevan.

“People want to cool their children down do-ing the pools and what have you and unfortu-nately we had to say no to that.”

the Kitselas have a municipal service agreement with the Regional District of Kitimat-stikine to pro-vide firefighting in the Gitaus area, and Bevan said that about 30 per cent of the water tank’s capacity is supposed to be allocated for that purpose.

Bevan said the Kit-selas have contracted a hydrologist and civil engineer to do the pre-liminary work on a new water system.

the team could lo-cate no realistic water well site within the boundaries of the Gi-taus residential area.

But they had more luck when looking across highway 16 into Kleanza Creek Provin-cial Park.

there, a promising aquifer exists.

according to David Karn, a provincial en-vironment ministry of-ficial, ministry experts say there is already one well supplied by the aquifer.

it supplies the

Kleanza subdivision just north of Kleanza Creek Provincial Park and on the same side of the highway as the park with drinking water.

Drilling down to perform more tests is necessary, said Bevan, adding that the team has applied for a per-mit from the provincial government to do so.

he pointed out that recent government ini-tiatives are opening up provincial parks to more activity such as pipeline right-of-ways in certain cases when no viable alternative is available.

Down south, those initiatives are behind the proposed twinning of the Kinder Morgan oil pipeline that runs through the Rockies from alberta to Van-couver.

For this reason, Be-van predicts that a low-footprint project such as

developing water wells shouldn’t be a problem

at Kleanza.he says the Kitselas

First Nation upholds a strong environmental philosophy.

Bevan said the Kit-selas First Nation wants to build a fail-safe two-well system from this aquifer and integrate that with the current groundwater system in Gitaus.

it is possible, he said, that local com-munities, including the Kleanza subdivision al-ready being supplied by the aquifer in the pro-vincial park, and other little communities dot-ted throughout the area might one day feed into a larger water treatment facility that would tap the skeena River and not the aquifers.

Currently these com-munities have self-con-tained wells, however the lifespan of a well is only 15-20 years, so it is possible that replace-ment needs would make an integrated system

feasible in collaboration with the regional dis-trict, he said.

But Bevan added that option would be up to $8 million to build, and for now he is aim-ing to drill two new wells and feed into the existing waterworks.

even with a chlorine filter, the cost would be less, he said.

the technical plan is expected to take up to a year to complete, said Bevan, so it won’t be until this summer when the scientific team files its recommendations after studying the water levels in Kleanza.

“We have to wait until the study is done and take our cues from there. the big one is getting aboriginal af-fairs and Northern Development Canada onside with what is go-ing on because they are the ones who are going to be capitally funding

this.”Bevan also said that

with a treaty between the Kitselas and the pro-vincial and federal gov-ernments now moving forward, he wants to see a proper water system completed before a final agreement is reached.

“Before you start moving ahead with the treaty, you have to know that all your infra-structure and assets are going to be accounted for in a proper way be-cause those items will be funded through your treaty agreement,” said Bevan.

the treaty agreement in principle includes an approximately $34.7 million transfer, as well as land, from the federal and provincial govern-ments. “But you [might have to] spend it all on capital infrastructure that should have been done prior to your trea-ty,” said Bevan.

Eco version of world’s top seller stingy on gasThe Toyota Corolla is the best selling car of all time, world-wide, selling 1.3 million units in Canada alone since it was introduced in 1966.To say the Corolla is a big deal for Toyota is an under-statement as it represents 47 per cent of all passenger sales for Toyota Canada. But the Corolla is also a big deal for Canada as it is made in Ontario and the Cambridge assembly plant. Cambridge was selected as the lead plant for vehicle development, as it makes cars for all of North America, the Corolla’s biggest market. This new 2014 Corolla has been on sale here since the fall of 2013 and by the num-ber I see on the road, it looks to be a hit already. For those that place fuel economy over everything, the Corolla Eco might just be worth a look as it takes an already thrifty car and squeezes even more out of each litre of fuel.

LooksOne major criticism of Toyota as a brand, and the Corolla, in particular, has been drab styling. Toyota recently has been walking a nice line between updating their lineup to be more progressive but also keeping their loyal buyers happy. The Corolla is sold in several different trim levels, starting at $15,995 to get the base CE, but the reality is that most Canadians will upgrade to the $19,215 S (Sport) or the LE for $19,500. To upgrade to this $20,500 LE Eco model is $1,035 over the S model and $750 over the regular LE. I prefer the S trim for its more aggressive 17-inch wheels compared to the LE and LE Eco, which come with smaller 16-inch wheels. Regardless, this model is a massive step forward in terms of delivering an

eye-catching design. The lower stance, standard LED projector headlamps and sleeker bodywork now make this a car people would be proud to own.

InsideThe dash is wide and flat with easy to see, and use, radio and heat controls, but the look is fresh and contemporary. The seats now sit lower in the car to make room for the slightly lower roofline, but I found getting in and out no problem. The seats provide excellent support and comfort. The back seat has a lot more legroom because the wheelbase of this new model has been stretched by 10 cms. The car is also

slightly wider, making hip room impressive. Overall the cabin is large and airy and nicely put together, considering the price. Since the S, LE or Eco models will be the sales leaders, Toyota has kitted all three out with a 6.1-inch touch-screen radio that includes Bluetooth streaming audio, phone connectivity and a backup camera. Faux leather seats are available on the S and LE but not the Eco. The good news is that all models come with heated front seats.

DriveAll but the Eco model come with a 132hp version of the 1.8L 4-cylinder engine carried over from the last car. The Eco gets a 140hp version that comes with Toyota’s Valevematic technology that helps to pump out the extra 8hp, yet improves fuel economy. The base CE is sold with either a 6-speed manual or the 4-speed automatic found in the last model. The only other model to be offered with a manual is the S trim. That leaves the LE and Eco with a standard continuously variable transmission (CVT),

and this unit as an option in the S trim. The upside to buying the Eco is an improved fuel economy score. The regular LE with a CVT has a combined city and highway rating of 5.9L/100km but the Eco model drops that down to 5.7L/100km.The penalty for this economy is a lack of driving spirit. I drove the S model at the Quebec City launch and expected a similar performance because this Eco has eight more horse-power. Not the case. I would take the minor fuel economy hit and buy the S or regular LE instead.

VerdictThe Corolla is a fine update, Toyota set out to make a roomier, more stylish and value packed car. The Eco has no options avail-able so it sticks to the $20,150 base price. I do enjoy the new interior, the styling is an improvement and many families will welcome the space.

The LowdownPower: 1.8L 4-cylinder with 132hp or 140hpFill-up: 6.5L/4.6L/100km (city/highway Eco) Sticker price: $15,995-$20,250

PUTTING A STOP TO

BULLYING ON PINK

SHIRT DAY, FEB. 26

This B.C. owned Intermeccanica Roadster wears its colour with pride wherever it shows.

It is a faithful reproduction on the 1959 Porsche 356-A Convert-ible “D”, which the Vancouver-based custom builders began producing in 1982.This car was hand built in 2011 and would cost around $95,000 to reproduce today. It has standard equipment such as Porsche suspension, four-wheel-disc brakes, and 356-type reclining seats.Power is provided by an Audi 1.8-litre, 185 hp turbo fuel

injected engine with auto transmission.It has a full leather interior, square weave carpeting in silver blue with

pink leather binding. The custom 356 instrument panel has pink facing and the courtesy lights even provide a pink hue to the interior.It’s a classic in appearance but it does have such contemporary creature comforts as electric windows, power door locks with remote keyless entry, and air conditioning!

RECRUITMENT Professionals Connecting Professionals

Hiring?We can help...

The folks over at GM felt it was time to raise the bar and with this latest incar-nation of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado.And indeed it took a major step forward by anybody’s estimation. Competition is fierce in the ½-ton pickup market and with heavy concentration on fuel con-sumption; it’s tough to find a balance between fuel economy and a strong capable truck. But the Silverado designers achieved that balance and were recognized very publicly for that achievement. The awards presentation at the North Amer-ican International Auto Show in Detroit saw GM haul away top honors for the Corvette Stingray and Silverado pickup, which were named North American Car and Truck of the year. You can’t just beef up a suspension and still expect a smooth ride. Chev did: the Silverado utilizes finely tuned shock ab-sorbers that respond to small vibrations and tackle the big bounces with ease. I admit I had my doubts. Driving the Silverado over a pothole-laden road did change the dynamics of this truck on how it handled but the shocks adjusted themselves perfectly. The frame mounts at the back of the cab are hydraulic and this helps to control any vibration. The rear axle size has been increased to handle the larger torque output from the engine. Speaking of engines the Silverado offers three engine choices. The first is a 4.3L V6 with a 285 horsepower and 305 foot

pounds of torque. An all-aluminum 5.3L V8 with 355 horsepower and a 6.2L EcoTec V8 that produces 420 horsepow-er and 450 foot pounds of torque. This engine also has active noise cancel-lation, very similar to good quality headphones! The transmission is a six-speed elec-tronically controlled automatic with two overdrive gears. It has an estimated combined fuel economy of 13/8.7 L/100 km. Although my real world numbers were not that close, the transmission undoubtedly helped push a tank of gas a little farther than I expected. Properly equipped, this Silverado can tow up to 5216 kg (11,500 lb) which is impressive for a ½ ton pickup. The redesigned interior offers more leg room and is easily accessed through the larger doors. Stain resistant cloth seats or optional leather seats are very comfortable. The glove box is a two-piece design and the centre console has plenty of room for files and junk to go missing for years!The steering wheel controls and other

knobs on the dash are within reachable distance from the driver and large enough that they can be used while wearing work gloves.My tester was equipped with Mylink system that basically controls every-thing. The voice recognition is easy to use and can respond to normal speech patterns. Bluetooth capabilities allow easy pairing of any smart phone with very little effort and accessing your music is a breeze. The rear bumper has steps built into it on both corners of the truck, making the job of climbing in the back an easy task. The tailgate features EZ-lift hard-ware that makes lowering the tailgate a one handed job. An available LED light mounted under the box rails lights up the cargo area and makes every nook and cranny visible. Many innovative improvements were made to this truck to keep up with the consumer demands and the result will help spur Canadian sales.

Yes, you can buy fun cars for under 30 grand.A few weeks ago, I recommend-ed five fun coupes for singles, whose base prices didn’t start with a three. Readers demanded more so here are five more cars that are a little easier on the wal-let in purchase and operation.Disclaimer, you don’t have to be single and willing to mingle to fall in love with these vehicles. In fact, some of them are family friendly. No really, they are.Ford Focus ST- $29,999Hot hatch? I think so.Ford’s Focus ST (ST meaning Sports Technologies) is quite the exciting ride.As soon as you sit inside the Ford Focus ST cabin, you’re embraced by Recaro sport seats that hug you and don’t let go. There’s a six-speed manual gearbox that’s then connected to a 2.0L High-Output EcoBoost I-4 engine.The high-output engine puts out 252 horsepower and 270

lb-ft of torque. Yes, that’s a herd of horses under the hood, but driving this sport-tuned version of ST is actually quite agreeable in the city.Chevrolet Sonic RS - $23,995The Sonic RS Hatchback might not be the first choice of “perfor-

mance” vehicle on your list, but that doesn’t mean it couldn’t be added.This five-door has some cool features like: a unique RS liftgate-mounted rear spoiler, 17-inch Midnight Silver painted-aluminum wheels, Lane Depar-ture Warning, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with contrasting stitching and flat-bottom design, and leather-appointed seating surfaces with ‘sueded’ microfibre inserts.That’s on top of seating for five and a powerplant comprised of a 1.4L, turbocharged 4-cylinder with 138 horsepower and 148 lb-ft of torque.Fiat 500 Abarth - $20,995Anytime you see a scorpion on something – or in real life – you can count on there being some sort of sting. The Fiat 500 Abarth is no different, except this sting makes you smile.This pint-sized two-door might look somewhat cutesy, but the terrestrial arachnid badging denotes otherwise.

Turn the ignition on and the rumble of the dual exhaust comes to life. It’s anything but tame in tone. Put the five-speed, heavy duty manual transmission into gear and hopefully you’ll be able to make good use of the 160 horsepower and 170 lb-ft of torque. That’s the kind of power being generated from its 1.4L, MultiAir turbocharged engine. Along with a performance tuned-suspension, performance brakes and 16-inch wheels, this Fiat might be small, but makes up any “size matters” issues with its dynamic performance.Honda Civic SI (Coupe/Se-dan) - $26,245/$26,250Take the exceptional reliability of Honda, its popular-selling Civic coupe/sedan, lace it with a potent engine and some cool gadgetry and you have the SI trim.Up until only a few years ago, the Civic SI was only offered in coupe format, but that changed in 2007. Those who wanted performance and practicality

would be granted access to such pleasures of life.Setting it apart from its tamer siblings is a 2.4-litre engine producing 201 horsepower and 170 lb.-ft of torque. It also comes standard with 17-inch alumi-num alloy wheels and a rear spoiler. Not to mention a 6-speed manual transmission. Whether opting for two or four doors, you can’t go wrong.Scion FR-S - $26,450The return of the fun-to-drive rear-wheel drive sports coupe that’s priced under $30K can be linked to the Scion FR-S. You could also say it is linked with the Subaru BRZ as these four-

seater, two-door vehicles were a joint venture product between the two Japanese brands.The FR-S features a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder boxer engine, developed in collaboration with Subaru. It combines Subaru’s horizontally opposed engine and Toyota’s D-4S injection system. The result is 200 naturally aspirated horses and 151 lb-ft of torque and can be matched with either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission. The back seats might not be incredibly comfortable for rear passengers but all the festivities are happening up front anyway.alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

Snowmobiler and Winter Recreation Users Public Safety Notice

Snowmobilers and winter recreationalists (cross country skiers, snow shoers, etc.) should be aware that the Northwest Transmission Line (NTL) is under construction, and the NTL right-of-way remains a construction zone with restricted access. This is required to avoid safety risks associated with such things as unmarked guy lines, construction materials and other potential hazards along the right-of-way, as well as for public and worker safety as construction activities continue.

In particular, over the past year many of the transmission structures for the NTL project have been installed. Most of these structures are supported by currently unmarked guy lines which can be very difficult to see against a snow background.

Please avoid using the right-of-way for your activities. If you are in the area, take extra care when travelling in the vicinity of the transmission structures.

If you have any questions, please contact BC Hydro stakeholder engagement: 1 866 647 3334 or send an email to stakeholderengagement@bchydro.com

BC HYDRO PHOTOS

wooden tower, top, has replaced a steel one, below, which collapsed Feb. 11, cutting power to thousands of people until BC Hydro restored service Feb. 15.

bc hydro is still in-vestigating the reason why a steel transmis-sion tower collapsed Feb. 11, cutting power to thousands of people in the Nass Valley, Me-ziadin and Stewart.

Provincial crown corporation official dave Mosure said ma-terials are still being ex-amined.

“[The] cost is still being tabulated,” added Mosure last week.

crews restored pow-er, after several difficult days of dealing with bad weather, on the af-ternoon of Feb. 15.

The wooden replace-ment tower is perma-nent, said Mosure.

“A temporary single pole was considered, but materials for the permanent solution were readily available, he said.

The steel tower that collapsed was part of the 138kV transmis-sion line running north of bc hydro’s Skeena Substation.

bad weather Feb. 11 initially hampered efforts to identify the problem.

And bad weather also hampered attempts to fly in the crews, sup-plies and equipment by helicopter to the tower which was in a remote location above Lava Lake, just south of the Nass Valley.

bc hydro flew in specialized crews from the Lower Mainland to assist local employees.

In all, nine bc hydro employees worked to restore power.

The steel tower was 55 feet high and the re-placement wooden one is 70 feet high.

crews had to blast holes into rock in order to secure the wooden tower.

The outage led to schools being closed in affected communities.

People with backup generators were able to provide power for them-selves. Some communi-ties in the Nass Valley established warming centres and organized meals.

homes with fireplac-

es or wood stoves fared well during the outage.

A back-up genera-tor was used to power a pump for water supply in Gingolx, and volun-teers prepared meals for community members at the Gingolx Memorial centre.

It is not unusual to have power outages in the region but this one was longer than ones that took place in the past.

TERRACE CHRYSLER

Paul James LawsonJanuary 7, 1969 - February 1, 2014

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Paul James Lawson. Paul was a loving father, husband brother, uncle and friend.

Paul left this world and passed into the spirit world while performing his work duty for Valard Construction Company. He loved to be a helper. His duties as a Level III First Aid Worker gave him the privilege of doing that while on the job. Paul also volunteered many years as a fireman and ambulance man in his village of Bella Bella.

Paul is survived by his parents James and MaryAnn Lawson, by his wife Myra Hopkins, and their children Kyle,

Curtis and Kayley, stepchildren Russel and Melinda Hopkins, as well as his brothers Evans and Brodie

Lawson and sister Maria McKay.

River Kings’ championship dreams dashedIT juST wasn’t their year. After a standout season that saw the Terrace River Kings at the top of the Central Interior Hockey League (CIHL) regular season standings, the senior men’s team lost to the Smithers Steelheads in the final game of the western conference final Feb. 16.

The two teams battled it out Saturday, Feb. 15 in Terrace – a must-win for the River Kings, down 1-0 in the best of three se-ries after suffering a stunning 8-1 game one loss in Smithers.

And the packed house at the Terrace Sportsplex wasn’t dis-appointed – the back-and-forth game kept the fans on their toes,

going into overtime tied at five, in what might have been one of the best CIHL games in years.

The Kings’ Corey Dekelver scored at 8:32 to give Terrace the 6-5 OT win and keep their hopes alive, setting them up for a final, deciding game the next day.

Sunday’s game was physical. Smithers, up 2-0 at the end of the first, entered the second period with its roster severely cut, los-ing two players to injury and see-ing two players ejected following a checking from behind call and a tussle between the two teams at the Steelheads’ bench.

But that didn’t stop Smithers from finding the back of the net –

they went up 4-0 at the end of the third – and it wasn’t until 12:30 in the third that Terrace was able to answer, making the final score 4-1 Steelheads, to set them up for the CIHL finals.

Terrace goalie Garrett Muir saw 48 shots during Sunday’s game, with 37 shots on net head-ing the Steelheads’ way.

In the eastern finals, the Wil-liams Lake Stampeders took two at home against the Ques-nel Kangaroos to win the series and set up the final between the Stamps and the Steelheads – a repeat of last season’s matchup that ultimately saw Smithers win in two games.

SteelheadS’ captain daryl Young and River Kings’ captain Steve cullis talk to the official after a series of penalties late in the second.

Cal ready to take on B.C.THe CALeDOnIA Kermodes Senior Girls basketball team is en route to provincials after end-ing the regular season with a first place finish at the Lake City Pio-neer Classic in Williams Lake two weeks ago.

That means the team kept their tournament win streak alive, taking three first place finishes in a row to finish the season on a high note.

“even though the girls are re-ally starting to get a swagger from success – which is what can defeat an opponent before the game even starts – they have not settled,” said coach Arnie Pelletier, of the team’s

successful regular season. “Their hate for losing is so strong.”

And if you ask the players what’s made the difference this year – one senior player says this season is one of the best seasons she’s been a part of – they’ll tell you that it comes down to the bond and trust between the team.

“This team’s a lot closer, the bond is a lot stronger, the whole team just trusts each other,” said Grade 12 Kavneet Tut. “There’s no hesitation on the court.”

That might have something to do with the creative training style – adopted at the beginning of the

season to stop the girls from being ‘robots’ to their positions – that sees the girls switch up positions on the court.

“So now at times we have a player that would traditionally be seen as post player playing a guard position and reversed – all depend-ing on what the opposing team is doing,” explained Pelletier. “We all know how each player on our team will react.”

Assistant coach Shelley Klas-sen said the turning point for the team this year was the first road trip to Vanderhoof – that really bonded the team together, she said.

And this is the first year two ex-change students have been on the team – Kaisa Mikkola from Fin-land, who put up a 30 point game at the team’s last tournament, and Anna Benard from France. They both say the tournament style here is different than in their home countries.

“I’ve learned a lot,” said Ber-nard. “I’m proud of this team.”

Grade 11 Cassy Twiname says the team is a lot calmer than it was at the beginning of the year and that they’ve been focussing on de-fence.

Regional bonspiel

happening here

FOR THe first time in nearly eight years, the regional qual-ifier for BC Special Olympics curling will be held here in Terrace.

Teams from Prince George, Quesnel, Burns Lake, Kitimat and Terrace will compete at the Terrace Curling Club this Saturday, March 1.

They’ll then have an eve-ning dance and social at Veri-tas Catholic School to cel-ebrate the tournament.

The results will be sent to BC Special Olympics execu-tive headquarters down south and depending on how many spots are relegated open for provincials (which will take place next year), the teams will find out who qualified later this year after some of the other regional meets are completed.

Terrace is entering one team and they’ve been prac-tising at the curling club every week with the help of their three coaches.

“My team’s very excited,” said coach Chris Dale, who has been volunteering with the local Special Olympics club for more than 10 years.

Terrace’s Special Olympi-ans are quite active – in the winter months aside from curling, they also practise basketball and go bowling.

And the local program is always looking for volunteers to coach.

When Pat Roy bought his property at the end of what later became Pat Roy Road, a branch of it ran between

his house and his shop. This was the route the loggers used to get at the trees that lined the river from Llewellyn’s Crossing to Grieve’s Pool, four kilometres upstream.

The planning in the forest industry in those days was driven by the desire to get to the largest trees in the valley bottoms ex-peditiously. The road that split Pat’s place in two was typical. It ran straight down a bank then straight across a swamp where a creek drained the dark brown water from a sprawling swamp that extends about two kilometres north. That the spot where the road crossed was prime salmon spawning habitat, that the swamp was an important staging area for many species of water-fowl, and a nursery for juvenile salmonids, got scant notice from the road builders.

In some of the Western United States, logging companies are required to maintain the roads that gave them access to timber. Here roads built by timber companies are allowed to decay or are deactivated once the pro� t has been extracted. Although this seems manifestly unfair to those of us who are eager to enjoy the outdoors, the latter approach does restrict access to the point where it signi� cantly reduces pressure on wildlife.

When I � rst began walking to the river on the road through Pat’s property, a per-

son could drive right to the river. Noel Gyger, who was guiding sports to chinook and steel-head then used the road to access the boat launch at Llewellyn’s. People drove RVs to stream side, while prop-erty owners upstream used the road to get to the places.

The Roy family tired of the traf� c. Pat ap-proached the Depart-ment of Highways and asked that the public easement be located somewhere else. His request was granted. Those people desiring access to the river now had to follow a road heading north a few hundred metres from Pat’s property, drive down a steep hill then turn south on a really rough old logging spur, then turn west on the original road leading to river. This route change � ltered out the vehicular traf� c. A few seasons lat-er, at the request of DFO, the Ministry of Transport (MOTI) dropped a concrete bar-rier just before the place where the original road crossed the creek and erected a sign declaring that the road would no longer be maintained beyond that point.

The end of rubber tire traf� c was a relief to the habitat staff of DFO, who had been ne-gotiating with MOTI to have a bridge put across the creek to prevent fur-ther damage from the people who were driv-ing through the prime salmon spawning habi-tat there. The change al-lowed the creek to revert to something approach-ing its natural state.

When concerned citi-zens complained about the sizes of clear cuts and the rate of logging, the companies and gov-ernment foresters tried to placate us with the simplistic assurance that

the trees would grow back. It’s much more complex than that of course, but there was a modicum of comfort in the notion that all that logged crown land was still ours and, as such, there was hope that when the woods eventually greened up again more enlightened logging practises would be in place.

What actually happened was that huge chunks of land that were supposed to be used for forestry in perpetuity were trans-formed into real estate. The Kalum Valley

is replete with examples. It turned out that the wet lands adjacent

to the swamp was one of them. Something we found out about when a local guide bought it. After developing it, he sold out to a consortium of � shing guides and rich guys from away. They changed the already changed easement by building a private road on top of it. Fortunately DFO Habi-tat was there during the construction of the road and the bridge across the pond to ensure that damage was minimal and that the route of the road didn’t infringe on any riparian zones. Still, none of this should have been necessary because the land in question, being irreplaceable and therefore beyond value, should not have been for sale in the � rst place.

Now there is a palatial lodge smack dab in the middle of that land. There are also surveillance cameras and big signs warn-ing trespassers they are being watched. The place now has an unfriendly aspect and is looking more and more like a private game preserve.

You can’t blame the guides who pur-chased it for this development. The bad actors are the politicians who enabled the privatization of public lands. Thanks to them a valley that should have remained a wilderness corridor to preserve its existing wildlife values then been left alone to heal to the point where it could regain its status as a truly great salmon river, has no chance of doing that.

Female Midget Reps win northwest zones

CONTRIBUTED PHOTO

HERE ARE the Terrace Female Midget Reps after their big win in Kamloops earlier this season – they’ll be facing off against many of those teams at provincials next month.

TERRACE’S FEMALE Midget Rep team is getting ready for provincials in Salm-on Arm after beating Smithers in the zone � nals two week-ends ago.

“I’m pretty proud of our group,” said coach Kevin Kennedy. “Smithers loaded up with a bunch of girls at the end of the season...and we beat ‘em.”

The � rst game was a “nail-biter,” despite Terrace out-shooting Smithers by about 40 shots – Terrace was up 2-0 with 12 minutes left when Smithers got a couple of quick ones. But just under the � ve minute mark, Bailey Kasum scored, giving Terrace the 3-2 win.

Goaltender Jessica Pritch-ett was key to the win. She “made some timely saves right at the end of the game there to keep us ahead,” he said.

The second game saw sim-ilar play – Terrace “peppered the net, outshot them by a huge margin, carried the play the whole game,” he said. Two goals by Erin Rose gave Ter-race the 4-0 win.

This team is young, with only one third-year player, so Kennedy is expecting them to be strong for a while.

“The bulk of the girls were on that provincial winning team last year, so we've got a good group and we're going to be strong for a while,” he said.

The team has seen success this year, winning a tourna-ment in Kamloops where they beat all of the top teams there – the same teams they’ll be meeting at provincials during spring break.

“They’re all gunning for us,” he said. But that doesn’t worry him.

“I think it could be any-body's tournament really. I think we stand a great shot of � nishing very well,” he said. “We've shown a lot of consis-tency, we've had a little bit of success, our goaltending has been strong this year, we've got a wonderful second year player from 100 Mile House, her name is Breanna Uphill. We've got a really good team.”

Cal ready for provincialsShe’s been to provincials and big

tournaments before, so she knows what to expect.

“They’ll be a lot of competition that we haven’t seen year, but we’ll pull through and do as well as we can,” she said, noting it’s the size difference between the northwest teams and the

Lower Mainland teams that always gets her.

But no worries. The team is heading to Langley during spring break with wins under its belt and a strong, de-termined mindset. “It feels great,” she said, of the season. “We all feel really strongly about this team.”

“They usually have a pretty good time, whatever sport it is,” said Dale.

“It’s partly just exercise and sport, but a lot of it is just socializing too, be-

ing together.” Anyone who is interested in vol-

unteering is encouraged to contact Jo Buck at 635-7874 or 635-7936.

Northwest edu-catioN stakeholders are holding a science and technology career and job fair this Friday at caledonia second-ary school to showcase higher education possi-bilities as they relate to jobs in the northwest.

the event targets the future workforce – high school students and those in college cer-tificate programs who would want to continue to a full degree – but also the general pub-lic and self-employed qualified professionals.

“we have participa-tion from some of the big engineering firms and those involved with LNG (liquefied natural gas) plant and pipeline connections here, so we hope to give them an opportunity to shake hands, put forward their cards or resumes and be on hand for potential hiring or contract work as well,” said Phil Bur-ton, northwest regional chair at university of Northern British co-lumbia (uNBc).

Terrace Standard: so let's talk about the trades – er, science and technology fair.

Phil Burton: see, you had trades on the tip of your tongue and that's exactly why we're having it – be-cause there's so much emphasis on the trades and short turnaround in terms of upgrading people's education, that we really felt there was a need to push back a little bit and show the value of investing in university education.

we're trying to build a program here in ter-race that would give people an integrated bachelor of science de-gree, we figured this would be a good way to promote recruitment and provide a service for a number of the en-gineering and environ-mental consulting firms in town that were actu-ally scrambling for em-ployees and contractors this last summer.

TS: right. Because students that are in high school right now, these are the people who are going to be filling these jobs – and the more per-manent jobs that come later.

PB: we don't cover it in this event as in so much of our other continuing studies pro-grams, but even people who start out in the trades, after five to 10

years find themselves in supervisory or manage-ment positions. we're packaging opportunities for them to come back to school and pick up certificates in project management, human re-sources skills, and so on.

TS: what's the day going to look like? what will i see?

PB: You will see a gymnasium full of activity, starting with about 20-25 tables or booths. we've got about 15 companies or agen-

cies that are recruiting or promoting their pro-grams and long-term needs, as well as anoth-er half dozen in educa-tional and training and job counselling institu-tions. in one corner of the gym we'll be having

a series of demonstra-tions and presentations about every half hour that will span every-thing from nursing and the medical sciences through to geology and engineering. hands-on activities, an array of

dissecting microscopes for people to look at things under magni-fication, a job board with some existing op-portunities in the north and around the prov-ince in these areas, and research posters and

presentations made at conferences by uNBc's own research scientists over the last year to wallpaper the gym with the sort of cutting edge research that maybe people aren't exposed to otherwise.

The consultants will advise city staff on how to perform an effective homeless count, said Goodwin.

The city is � nancing the study from a $25,000 amount allocated in the 2014 budget for the housing needs assessment, $10,000 of which is a grant from the Real Estate Founda-tion of British Columbia.

Of that total, $2,500 has been put aside to carry out the homeless count and related costs.

A move by the city to put money into tallying the homeless strikes Ksan House Society executive direc-tor Carol Sabo as an unwise use of limited resources.

Ksan has its own plan to build af-fordable housing units on Haugland between Hall and Evergreen Streets just around the corner from the Ksan

shelter, and Sabo feels the city could direct more time and money towards that project.

“They said they were posting to-day for a homelessness survey and I told them they were wasting time,” said Sabo two weeks ago. “All they have to do is take out the managers of the transition house and the shelter, Ksan Society, and one RCMP of� cer for coffee and they could count the homeless in 15 minutes.”

Among several housing-related initiatives, which includes proposed changes to city bylaw to allow apart-ments in secondary units located on residential lots zoned R1, city council passed a motion Feb. 11 to write let-ters to the federal and provincial gov-ernments with a request for support in meeting low income housing needs.

But there doesn't have to be more, explains community development expert Marleen Morris, an associate director at the Community Develop-ment Institute (CDI) at the Univer-sity of Northern British Columbia, on families leaving the city during this time of increased development.

“We de� nitely need to catch up, we de� nitely need to move quickly,” she said. “But it’s never too late.”

There are ways to prepare for the in� ux of industry and its various phases, minimize the risks, and sub-sequently ensure long-term bene� ts for the community – and there are les-sons to be learned from communities that have gone through this before, like Fort McMurray and communities in northeastern B.C.

“We need to bring people togeth-er to develop an integrated strategy – a strategy that works between the economic, the workforce, the social

sectors of the community,” said Mor-ris. “Start minimizing the risks – for families, for example, who might oth-erwise have to leave, what can we do for them?”

Morris talks about “accordion so-lutions” – solutions to housing, and increased pressures on the social ser-vices sector that can expand and con-tract as development (and workers) ebbs and � ows. They are solutions that can often be gained by working with industry, she said.

“Think about what we need in our communities after [these companies] are gone, and get them to do some-thing that will be mutually bene� cial – a win/win – and leverage something like housing out of that,” Morris said.

“That’s the huge opportunity out of this construction phase. To think about what could bene� t the commu-nity in the long-term and then help to make that happen.”
