Visitor Centre Open 8:30am - 5:00pm Daily

Lots of visitors came through in August and such a

variety of locations they were visiting from. We have had several long distance bicycle riders. Two couples that came in weeks apart were both mak-ing their destination the southern tip of South

America. One couple started in Alaska and the oth-er in Inuvik which means the ones from Inuvik had 700 km of gravel on the beginning of their BICYCLE

journey. And they looked happy and healthy! They rested up in Hudson’s Hope for a couple of days and used King Gething for camping and the pool for recreation. We also had three young men in from Israel. They were looking for an outdoor backwoods adven-ture and found it at Carbon Lake and spent three days out there and loved the quiet.

One of the events that took place in August was a regional charity motorcycle ride. We had four registered riders from Hudson’s Hope. Bonnie Gouldie had the winning poker hand and half of that went to a charity of our choice. We were happy to present the

Friends of Hudson’s Hope with a cheque for sixty dollars.

The visitor centre closes on the last day of Se- ptember. If you need any maps, we still have a few left. The museum across the street has the BC Backroads Mapbook for Northern BC, Canadian Rockies and the Fishing Book as well. Hudson’s Hope Visitor Centre

Library Closed on Monday, September 5th Our programs are shaping up nicely as we have added new, fun ideas and events to our programs.

Children’s Programmer, Toni Sandford Parent and Tot Storytime - You and your little one can join us for stories and songs. Your child can also take part in crafts, hands on activities, games and play during our Stay and Play portion of Storytime. Parent and Tot Storytime 10:00-10:30; Stay and Play 10:30-11:00. The Library is open to parents and tots from 9:45-11:15 on Tuesdays, starting September 13 with the extra time set aside just for you and your little one to find books and enjoy the library. During the month of September, our Storytime themes will include colors (with a STEAM activity), The Turning of Seasons-Autumn, and Apples and Leaves. Library Club is for K-grade 4 from 3:30-4:30 on Wednesdays. “STEAM” events will be incorporated often: Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics. While exploring the “Wonders of the Day” and “Wacky Days” that are celebrated in our year, our desire is to let kids explore hands on through “STEAM” pro-gramming. For more info take a look at http://showmelibrarian.blogspot.ca/p/all-things-steam.html. 1000 Books Before Kindergarten is a challenge to parents and caregivers to bond while reading aloud to their newborns, infants and toddlers regularly before Kindergarten. We want to partner with you by tracking your little ones progress in our library. Research shows that the most reliable predictor of school success starts by being read to at home during early childhood. We want to share with you in the focus of early liter-

acy development. Come be part of this free, easy to implement program that offers lifelong rewards. For more info come talk to me or check out this link http://1000booksbeforekindergarten.org/.

Young Adult Programmer, Shellie Howard Teen and Tween programs are STARTING! September will be a month of getting to know you and me better.

Teen Drop-In on Saturday September 24th from 1:00-4:00 Shellie will be away at a conference on Sep-tember 22nd and 23rd so we will have a Saturday drop in to make up for having to cancel the Friday night programming. Looking forward to see lots of faces at our new YA Programs!:) Mystery Club Month is coming up in October stay tuned for more details next month!

Adult Programming: We will be developing more adult options coming soon as well! For starters: The Rory Gilmore Reading Challenge: Rory Gilmore’s (from the hit show Gilmore Girls) most endearing character trait is that she’s a bookworm (a librarian’s favorite type of person!). She reads endlessly, and a lot of the books are incredibly famous or critically acclaimed. This challenge allows you to broaden your reading tastes to read a lot more classics and historically important books. Come on in to pick up a reading challenge brochure to find out how many of the near 350 titles you have already read and start reading for the chal-lenge!

District of Hudson’s Hope Council News

Someone told me once that it took 3” of rain before moisture really penetrated the soil

and affected the water table. If that’s true, the soil and water table must truly be affect-

ed! The rainfall on August 27th alone measured about 3” without counting the rain we had

before and after. I still don’t have puddles though, so maybe that’s next.

Public Works Shop:

After much time, work and effort by many, the District will proceed with the new Public

Works Shop this year. Integrity Post Structures will do the construction and they assure

us that we will be in before Christmas. Constructed in the 1960’s, the present shop has

served long and well. We hope and expect the new one will last 50 years as well.

Gas Field Activity:

As we all know, gas field activity has slowed substantially but Progress Energy still has a

few things on the go. They are drilling a well in the Graham field, using water from the

Farrell Creek area. It will be trucked, and because the bridges on the back road are not

rated to take the heavy loads, truckers will come down the Farrell Creek Road, up Hwy

#29 to the Alaska Highway and back in on the Mile 95 Road. There will be 83 trucks per

day, travelling in convoys of five, starting August 28. The first 17 days will be the heavi-

est, after which the hauling will continue at a reduced volume for another 2-3 weeks.

Something to keep in mind when travelling back and forth to Fort St John…..

Although they have no activity near Hudson’s Hope at the present time, Progress has con-

tinued to sponsor the Healthy Snacks program at the school, and contributed to the

climbing wall which the school will soon unveil. Thank you, Progress; we appreciate it.

Weeds:

This has been a tremendous growing year and the weeds have certainly taken advantage

of it. Scentless chamomile, foxtail and Canada thistle just exploded. In Hudson’s Hope we

work with the Regional District and industries to try to keep weeds at least under control,

if not eliminated. We have now purchased equipment and have a certified employee to

manage weeds on municipal property. We appreciate the efforts of many residents to

make their properties weed-free. Progress Energy says they have completed their weed

control program in the Farrell and Altares areas, using both hand-picking and spraying.

The Ministry of Highways has mowed vegetation on the highway rights-of-way and

scraped the ditch approaches, which did set back the chamomile and foxtail.

Earthquakes, Dams & Water:

Recently there has been some media coverage of the earthquakes induced by natural gas

extraction processes in this area and the possible risk to dams. I would add to that the

possible impact on groundwater.

If you google it, you’ll find lots of sites. Here are some:

Dr. Gilles Wendling will present a summary of his regional findings later this fall in Fort

St. John, Dawson Creek and Chetwynd. In addition, he has said he will do a presentation

here that will focus on Hudson’s Hope.

I’ve contacted the office of the BC Comptroller of Water Rights. Glen Davidson, the

Comptroller, and Pieter Bekker, Assistant Comptroller, have agreed to come to Hudson’s

Hope in mid-October to explain the role of the comptroller’s office in water issues.

Police Report: July 2016

Hudson’s Hope RCMP Detachment responded to approximately 47 calls for service over the last four weeks. During this period Hudson’s Hope RCMP continued with vessel and off road vehicle (ORV) checks.

On July 20th, 2016, a traffic stop was conducted on a vehicle travelling out of Hudson’s Hope. The driver was found to have consumed alcohol and provided samples of breath roadside. The driver was subsequently issued a 3 day Immediate Roadside Prohibition.

On July 28th, 2016, Hudson’s Hope RCMP was advised that a speed sign on the Core Road, val-ued at $10,000, had been damaged beyond repair. Please call the detachment or Crimestoppers if you have any information regarding this mischief.

On August 1st, 2016, Hudson’s Hope RCMP was advised of a possible impaired driver stopped roadside with BC Conservation officers. The driver was issued a 24 hour driving prohibition and the boat and trailer being towed were seized as they were believed to be stolen property. The file is still under investigation.

On August 3rd, 2016, Hudson’s Hope RCMP was advised of a stolen bicycle. The bike is described as a women’s bike, red with white lettering.

On August 9th, 2016 a local resident reported their truck as stolen. The vehicle is described as a 2008 Ford F350 King Rancher Dually Crew cab, White with a Tan stripe along the bottom. There is also a red tidy tank in the back of the truck. The file is still under investigation.

On August 14th, 2016, Hudson’s Hope RCMP responded to a single vehicle collision on Farrell Creek Road. Two occupants were injured and taken to hospital. Speed and alcohol are believed to be factors and the incident is still under investigation.

Anyone with information regarding current or past investigations, or any criminal activity, is asked to contact the RCMP directly, or anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

The RCMP’s National Youth Advisory Committee (NYAC) is now recruiting for the 2016-2017 ses-sion! We are looking for Canadian youth between the ages of 13 and 18. This Committee en-sures youth take part in the development of RCMP youth strategies and outreach initiatives. It will run from September 2016 to June 2017.

The goal of the Committee is to increase the youth voice at the RCMP Centre for Youth Crime Prevention by engaging and empowering youth in initiatives planning and delivery. The pro-grams and activities are youth-focused. The Committee will have a major role in shaping what the RCMP offers for young people by identifying issues affecting youth; addressing community concerns; and designing initiatives to foster change and address their needs.

As a RCMP NYAC member, youth can: represent their community; voice their opinions about issues affecting youth in their community; work with youth from other provinces; receive a ref-erence letter or an attestation of volunteer hours; and discover their potential!

Do I Need a Building Permit?

If you are planning to construct, alter, recon-struct, demolish, remove or relocate a build-ing or structure, including excavating or oth-er work related to construction, then chances

are you need a building permit.

Typical Projects That Require a Building Permit:

new homes

new fireplaces

plumbing and/or drains

completion of roughed-in fireplaces

attached or detached garages

one or two storey additions

structural alterations to windows or doors

adding or removing walls

basement or main floor walkouts

second dwelling units

Why Do I Need a Building Permit?

Building permits are necessary to ensure that building code requirements, zoning require-

ments, fire and structural safety standards, and other building standards are met, pri-marily for health, safety, and energy conser-vation reasons. Failure to aqcuire proper

permits could lead to problems if you were to sell your home, potentially making it diffi-cult for future buyers to obtain a mortgage.

How Do I Apply for a Building Permit?

To apply for a building permit, or for more information on building permit require-

ments/processes, please email buildingpermit@hudsonshope.ca, call 250-783-9901 or come in and see us at the District Office in Hudson’s Hope.

District Bylaw 741 states that no person shall commence or continue any construc-tion, alteration, reconstruction, demolition, removal or relocation of any building or structure, including excavation or other work related to construction unless a build-

ing official has issued a valid and subsisting permit for the work. For more information

visit our website: hudsonshope.ca

Be Seen. Wear bright clothes and/or reflective gear especially at night and in poor weather.

Crossing Basics. Stop at the curb. Look left and right for oncoming vehicles that might be turning. When the inter-section is clear, start crossing and keep looking for approaching vehicles.

Look. Make sure all vehicles have stopped before entering the road. Make eye contact before crossing.

Sidewalk/no sidewalk. Walk on the inside edge of the sidewalk away from the road, so you’re further away from the traffic. Walk facing oncoming traffic if there isn’t a sidewalk, so you can see approaching vehicles and make eye contact with drivers.

Set a good example. Never jaywalk or run to cross the street. Where possible, cross at intersections with a pedestrian crossing light or marked crosswalk

Parked vehicles. Avoid shortcuts through parking lots or around parked cars where it’s harder for drivers to see small children.

Quiz time. Make a fun, interactive game out of guessing the correct traffic signs and meanings with your child.

Map it out. Plan your child’s route with them ahead of time. Review street names and landmarks to orient them.

Teen Swim Event

What fun it was at the pool for the Teen Swim Event. It was awesome to watch the kids playing pool volleyball, hoola hooping, and busting a few

to take part in the celebrations Come enjoy - Free fresh garden corn, wiener roast, beverages, games,

BC Rivers Day seeks to raise public understanding of rivers and the many benefits they pro-vide to us—clean water, spawning salmon, historic trades and exploration routes, a place to play. There is much to celebrate but BC Rivers Day also profiles the threats to our waterways, and offers the public a chance to get directly involved with creating solutions.
