The Lelu Island story

The Environmental Effects Monitoring Program: Making the Kitimat smelter one of the most studied in the world When Rio Tinto designed the modernized smelter, the interests of our employees, community and the environment was a top priority, so we chose the best possible options and technology available to us. In making these choices, we have been able to reduce our overall environmental footprint by 50 per cent.

While it is true that our SO2 emissions will increase as a result of increased production at the modernized smelter, Rio Tinto has initiated a comprehensive Environmental Effects Monitoring (EEM) Program to monitor SO2 emissions from the new smelter. The EEM program is an integral part of Rio Tinto’s operations going forward, and we want to make sure you have access to the information you need about this important program.

The EEM ProgramThe EEM program is a comprehensive program that was developed with feedback from local stakeholders, as well as environmental and technical experts and the Ministry of the Environment. What does the EEM involve?:

• Environmental studies to determine measurement levels and impacts of SO2 emissions: continuous air quality and water monitoring, long term soil and vegetation studies, and intensive lake chemistry studies

• Detailed reporting to the Ministry of Environment and the Public

• Public access to air quality monitoring station information at the Ministry of Environment website.

• Establishment of very rigid controls on SO2 levels, with mitigation actions if required

• Public involvement and participation in field monitoring and other activities

• Reassessment after three years to determine its effectiveness

“I have the opportunity as a KPAC member to participate in field studies to see how they collect information for the EEM program. The BC MoE is usually represented at the KPAC meetings so we have the opportunity to discuss this program with them also. Protecting our community and the environment is really important to me and I am happy to be able to see first-hand the work Rio Tinto is doing to meet their regulatory commitments. I encourage others who are interested to contact Rio Tinto and find out how they can be involved in this important program.”

– Peter Ponter, KPAC member

How do you measure SO2 Emissions?Rio Tinto monitors air quality at several stations in the Kitimat Valley. These stations are also part of the Provincial Air Quality Monitoring network. In addition to SO2, the air quality parameters we monitor include – hydrogen fluoride, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and two types of fine particulate matter. Because air emission concentrations are dependent on weather conditions, we also monitor weather, such as wind direction and speed, as well as precipitation.

Based on the extensive studies we undertook, concentrations in ambient air in Kitimat are anticipated to be at levels similar to when the old smelter was operating. This is because

SO2 from the modernised smelter will be captured and released through high stacks at high temperature and high velocity, which disperses SO2 much more efficiently than before. The level of concentration in ambient air measured depends on how close the monitoring station is to the source, i.e. the smelter in our case.

“This past year, we completed extensive monitoring to assess the potential impacts of SO2 emissions on the environment and human health. I am pleased that the results of our monitoring thus far confirm the conclusions of the extensive studies conducted by internal and external specialists as part of the Kitimat Modernization Project. I am also excited to see the community involved in this important program and look forward to improving this program with community input as we move forward.”

– Shawn Zettler, Rio Tinto

Providing you with the information you needThrough the EEM program, we have committed to extensive monitoring, regular reporting, and measureable actions when required. We recently initiated a weekly report that provides a summary of key observations from our air emissions monitoring program. We expect, that based on feedback, these reports will evolve over time. We will also be looking at other communication methods to share information about our operations, including an online version of these reports. If you have feedback for us about the EEM program and our reporting, we encourage you to share it with us by emailing [email protected]

The old smelter has been transformed into the most competitive aluminium smelter in the world, with one of the lowest carbon footprint aluminiums ever produced.

Members of the KPAC and the community participated in EEM field research in 2015.

Congratulations to School District 52 on improving the way math is taught to its students.

Carole Fullerton, a BC math consultant, has

worked with SD52 for the last two years. Her

mission is to help teachers and parents make

math more exciting.

Her approach has paid off.

Teachers are seeing improved engagement

and understanding in their math students.

Carole will continue working with SD52

throughout the 2016/2017 school year. Her

focus will be on grades K-3, 4-6, and 7-9.

We are proud to support this initiative!

You’ve told us jobs are important. Many LNG careers require science and math. We’re doing what we can now to excite young people about science and math so they have more choices when choosing a career.

Our fate is in the Honourable Minister of Environment and Climate Change Catherine McKenna’s hands now.

As Prince Rupert reporter Kevin Campell describes in his N2K feature this month, the $11.4 billion Pacific NorthWest LNG project proposed for Lelu Island just off the shore near the District of Port Edward and Prince Rupert, is heading to the pivotal moment.

On June 27, Pacific NorthWest LNG submitted its final response to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA). In what has been an arduous journey to say the least, the CEAA announced that Pacific Northwest LNG had jumped through all the necessary hoops in its assessment and has been accepted as satisfactory.

McKenna now has 90 days [end of September] to decide if she will give the LNG project the final federal stamp of approval.

Already, Pacific NorthWest LNG had announced a positive Final Investment Decision in June 2015, subject to two conditions. The first condition was satisfied on July 21, 2015 when the Project Development Agreement was passed by the province.

The second and final condition, McKenna’s signature to approve the project.

A green light will signal an economic resurgence with tangible social benefits of immense proportions. Will there be some negative effects — absolutely, but the pros most certainly outweigh the cons, by a vast margin.

This project is a generational opportunity for Northwest B.C.For more than a decade Northwest B.C. has been tantalized with talk of

gamechanging projects, not unlike that of the Alcan success story of many years past.

But for more than a decade, we have found out the hard way. These projects have an expiry date.

Just recently, due to global conditions, Canpotex decided not to pursue a nearly $1 billion project on Ridley Island near Prince Rupert.

It was a hard lesson that these projects have a shelf life and if we navel gaze too long, they will disappear.

It’s up to McKenna now. Pacific Northwest LNG has done everything asked of it and a clear majority of Northwest B.C. peoples, governments and businesses want this project to proceed.

The time is now to say “yes” Honourable Minister.Todd HamiltonN2K Publisher

This space is a collaborative promotional venture by LNG Canada and N2K

The demonstration effectively shows that should a tanker carrying the LNG ever spill, which is extremely unlikely, the LNG would remain on the surface of the water and quickly evaporate as the temperature around it would be so much warmer, even on the coldest day in Kitimat.

Nothing would remain in or on the water. At most, there will be a layer of ice on the surface, and Neandross demonstrates this using a sample of LNG poured into a beaker of water. And after the liquid turns into a vapour and evaporates, he drinks the water to show that it has not been contaminated by the LNG.

To ignite LNG, it has to � rst turn back into a gas; you then need a heat source of at least 580 degrees Celsius. As well, the concentration of the gas has to be within � ve to 15 per cent in the air. Outside of that, it won’t burn.

Neandross demonstrates this by placing a vapour release cap over his beaker of LNG, which allows a small stream of the gas to release upward. He then uses a long-neck lighter to � nd the exact spot in the air that the gas begins to burn. He starts six

Erik Neandross is on the stage, wearing safety goggles, gloves, a long jacket, and offers a welcoming smile to those in the audience who’ve come to learn more.

Natural gas, or more speci � cally lique� ed natural gas (LNG), could be a cornerstone of B.C.’s economy. From beneath the ground in northeast B.C., the plan is to pipe natural gas to the proposed LNG Canada facility, where it would be cooled to -162 degrees Celsius, and loaded in its liquid form onto specialized tankers for delivery to Asian markets.

Natural gas, as a quick chemistry lesson, is a hydrocarbon, which means it’s made up of hydrogen and carbon atoms.

In a lique� ed form, LNG is a very safe product, and Neandross does a great job of demonstrating this to his audience.

How does LNG behave?

With the help of two students during his presentation to Mount Elizabeth Senior Secondary School in May, Neandross visually explains what happens when natural gas is cooled into a liquid: it shrinks in volume by 600 times (about the different between a beachball and a baseball)

feet up with his hands holding the lighter. Nothing. He drops it slightly, nothing. Then � nally, inches above the container, the lighter ignites the vapour. He’s found that small window where the gas will ignite.

Neandross points out that the � ame never makes its way back into the container of LNG, and only burns when the gas/oxygen mix is ideal. Once it’s not, the � re goes out.

“The real purpose of this is just to provide the basic education about LNG, what it is and maybe just as importantly what it’s not,” said Neandross of his natural gas presentations. “There’s a lot of misconception about LNG, which is understandable; we don’t have LNG necessarily in every community these days.”

To ensure the community knows as much as possible about LNG as a product, LNG Canada recently held a number of demonstrations in Kitimat and Terrace to show students, seniors and the general public just exactly how LNG behaves.

LELU ISLAND

THE $11.4 BILLION DECISION

LELU 101

With all the delays, twists and turns surrounding the Paci� c Northwest (PNW) LNG proposed natural gas liquefaction and export terminal on Lelu Island, many will need a scorecard just to understand who the players are and how we have come to this pivotal moment in Northwest B.C.’s economic future.

As expected with any multi-dimensional, large-scale multi-billion-dollar project, the number of geographical areas, people and habitats a� ected are numerous. And the responsibility to consult with those a� ected, both municipalities and First Nations is paramount in ensuring the proponents receive a green light for their investment from the federal cabinet, in this case, an $11.4 billion project o� of Port Edward.

PNW’s consultation process began many years ago and, while culminating in a dra� Environmental Assessment Report in February, is a � uid and ever-changing process that involves stakeholders across B.C. and beyond.

LELU ISLAND’S BACKYARD

Five Aboriginal groups were identi� ed by the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA) ‘whose potential or established Aboriginal rights or title could be adversely a� ected by the project’.

� ose included the Lax Kw’alaams Band, the Metlakatla First Nation, the Gitxaala Nation, the Kitsumkalum First Nation and the Kitselas First Nation. � e Gitga’at First Nation was added in 2013 to that list.

A� er a process that involved phone calls, letters, emails, presentations and discussions on the technical aspects of the project and potential impacts to Aboriginal groups’ interests and rights and title and in-person meetings with all six Nations, CEAA stated in the report that Metlakatla and Lax Kw’alaams “were provided with the opportunity to participate in archaeological surveys and investigative geotechnical programs on Lelu Island, and to tour the project area” and Lax Kw’alaams, Metlakatla, Kitsumkalum, Kitselas and Gitxaala participated and reviewed studies involving tree surveys, marine foreshore surveys, marine bird and bird nesting studies, eelgrass surveys, marine sediment sampling, soil sampling, freshwater streams � sh sampling, meteorological data collection, environmental monitoring of drilling programs and more.

CONDITIONAL SUPPORT

A� er a review by many First Nations, the work done by hired independent scientists, Metlakatla, Gitxaala, Kitsumkalum, Kitselas and Lax Kw’alaams all signalled their conditional support, with a heavy emphasis on environmental monitoring with regular reports of � sh and marine life habitats and much more to be given to them by the proponent and CEAA during the lifetime of the terminal.

All � ve of those bands have been active with PNW in signing Impact Bene� t Agreements (an agreement, monetary and otherwise, in outlining land, training, employment, community infrastructure, habitat improvements, revenue sharing and education aspects of the project).

“� e Metlakatla First Nation has been fully engaged in the

environmental assessment of the Paci� c NorthWest LNG project. From our involvement, Metlakatla has submitted clear recommendations [conditions] to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency related to the project. In our opinion, the conditions identify potential impacts and the requirement to mitigate and monitor any work related to the project. Once the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency and the Federal Cabinet render their decision, Metlakatla will further review the decision and conditions and move to monitor the project — if approved — to ensure the regulations are adhered to,” said Shaun � omas, Metlakatla communications coordinator.

GITGA’AT CHALLENGE

� e Gitga’at First Nation did not participate in the endorsement of the CEAA process and has yet to sign an agreement. Additionally, Gitga’at chief councillor Arnold Cli� on wrote in a statement last July, “Anthropological evidence and our Adawx, which are the oral records of the Gitga’at, show that we have � shed and hunted in Prince Rupert Harbour and the lower Skeena River since before the European settlers arrived. Prince Rupert Harbour is a large part of our social, cultural and economic life and proposed LNG developments would impact the rights and livelihood of every Gitga’at member.”

A legal challenge was launched against PNW last year, establishing the Gitga’at as one of the Tsimshian First Nations deserving of full consultation and associated bene� ts with the project. � e Lax Kw’alaams Band has since refuted this claim and launched their own legal challenge in the Supreme Court of B.C. establishing a very large portion of North Coast land, including many crown lands and Lelu Island as its own, with full rights and title.

LAX KW’ALAAMS REVERSAL

Since the challenge, Lax Kw’alaams Mayor John Helin wrote a letter of support to federal Minister of Environment and Climate Change Catherine McKenna in mid-March, reversing the Band’s rejection of the terminal and supporting the project, with conditions that PNW must report its environmental monitoring work to an Environmental Performance Committee and that PNW respond to any enforcement actions that have been recommended by the Environmental Performance Committee. � is committee would be made up of the Lax Kw’alaams, CEAA and other federal representatives.

TSIMSHIAN ALLIANCE

An alliance of Tsimshian First Nations between Metlakatla, Gitxaala, Kitsumkalum, Kitselas and even the Gitga’at (Lax Kw’alaams are not included) called the Tsimshian Environmental Stewardship Authority (TESA) provided much of the First Nations-led environmental groundwork, for four of the � ve Nations to sign on to the project, with stringent conditions.

N2KN2KN2K 9

At a March 1 Prince Rupert and District Chamber of Commerce meeting, Gitxaala Chief Cli� ord White signalled that while many of TESA’s independently-hired scientists found de� ciencies in CEAA’s summary report, none were so catastrophic as to prevent the support of Gitxaala and a few fellow Nations from signalling their conditional support.

THE TALLY

To date, � ve of the six identi� ed North Coast First Nations have, in some capacity, shown support or signed agreements with PNW (Metlakatla, Kitsumkalum, Kitselas, Lax Kw’alaams and Gitxaala), while one has yet to do so (Gitga’at).

LAX KW’ALAAMS UNREST

But hold on.� at’s not the end of the story for the Lax Kw’alaams.While Mayor Helin wrote to the federal government in

March, there are still those within the Band who disagree with the letter of support and have been making their voice heard by occupying Lelu Island itself.

“A RADICAL HANDFUL”

“It has been with increasing alarm that we have witnessed the occupation of Lelu Island by a small, radical handful of our community members – particularly when they continue to misrepresent our Tribes, falsely suggest they represent our community, and who continually mislead the public as to their powers and support,” the letter states, signed by 11 Ts’msyen Chiefs, matrons, elders and hereditary leaders of the Nine Tribes of Lax Kw’alaams.

� e Prince Rupert Port Authority has also told Lelu Island occupiers to halt building structures on the island and may threaten legal action if the work continues. � e occupiers have previously stated they have plans for a cultural resource centre and a scienti� c base camp for researchers in the area.

OUTSIDE OF THE NORTH COAST

� e PNW project a� ects many First Nation communities outside of Lelu Island and the North Coast where it’s proposed to be situated. � e TransCanada Prince Rupert Gas Transmission Project passes through many communities and on the outskirts of even more.

A total of 11 First Nations have signed agreements with TransCanada, allowing the natural gas pipeline through their territories.

� e McLeod Lake Indian Band, Takla Lake First Nation, Doig River First Nations, Halfway River First Nation, Yekooche First Nations, Gitanyow First Nation, Lake Babine Nation, Blueberry River First Nation, Metlakatla, Kitselas and Nisga’a Lisims Government have all signed on to pipeline-speci� c agreements.

Additionally, at least three First Nations submitted public comments to the federal government through the open comment period by CEAA in the spring.

So, to reduce the First Nations to simple support or non-support until more consultation has taken place, 14 are in favour and four are against as of June 2016. Of course, various factions within each Nation prevents most of them from being whole-

hearted endorsements and more Nations than the ones listed here may also stake claims to being impacted by the project.

THE MUNICIPALITY FACTOR

Municipalities and regional districts across B.C. have also voiced their support for the project.

Among the closest geographic municipal jurisdictions, the District of Port Edward has given its full support behind the terminal. Additionally, a revenue-sharing agreement was reached with the district and PNW.

“� e changes that have been made to the facility have ensured Port Edward will continue to experience a unique quality of life. � e terminal is a “game-changing” opportunity for residents and businesses alike in the area and the district is satis� ed with PNW’s extensive studies into the e� ects on � sh, speci� cally salmon. � e district also supports CEAA’s dra� report, Port Edward o� cials outlined in a letter approved by Mayor Dave MacDonald and council.

� e City of Prince Rupert has yet to sign an agreement with PNW, and stated in a submission to CEAA that extensive monitoring and reporting practices need to include the city as well as other authorities.

“Currently the City of Prince Rupert is still in negotiations with PNW LNG for an Impact Bene� ts Agreement and is awaiting results from the CEAA process,” wrote city communications manager Veronika Stewart in late May.

� e Skeena-Queen Charlotte Regional District (SQCRD) has also yet to support the PNW terminal in any formal manner.

Continued on Page 10

Town of Smithers

Outside the immediate area, the City of Terrace, City of Fort St. John, City of Dawson Creek, District of Hudson’s Hope, District of Taylor, District of Chetwynd, District of Tumbler Ridge, Northern Rockies Regional Municipality, Peace River Regional District, District of Mackenzie, District of New Hazelton and City of Prince George have all signed on to either PNW LNG, the Prince Rupert Gas Transmission (PRGT) pipeline, Progress Energy (gas source) or the integrated project.

In total, 12 municipalities and one regional district has signalled support.

PROVINCIAL BACKING

� e PNW project also has the full backing of B.C. Premier Christy Clark and the Liberal B.C. government, who have been making their case to Ottawa to seek support for exporting LNG to Asian countries.

All NDP MLAs and MPs in Northwest B.C. have rejected the $11.4 billion project.

Conversely, Prince George-Peace River-Northern Rockies Conservative MP Bob Zimmer has signalled his support for the project in a statement made in February.

“I am pleased to see that CEAA’s dra� report concludes that this important project could avoid signi� cant environmental e� ects. I trust that the Prime Minister and his cabinet will do

the right thing and approve Paci� c NorthWest LNG as this project will help dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions in China’s industrial sector, making LNG good for British Columbia, Canada and the globe,” Zimmer wrote.

THE FINAL TALLY?

While many First Nations, municipalities and politicians have signalled their position on the project one way or another, many are still in negotiation with the proponent or government, or are awaiting negotiations.

For its part, Paci� c NorthWest LNG states that it appreciates all the cooperative work that has been done up to this point.

“Paci� c NorthWest LNG is proud of the relationships that we have forged with area First Nations and residents throughout northwestern British Columbia over the past four years,” said Spencer Sproule, senior advisor, corporate a� airs at PNW.

“� e feedback and participation of First Nations and residents means a lot to us, evidenced by the numerous changes already incorporated into our project design. As our project progresses, we hope to build on the positive relationships that we have forged in the e� ort to construct a world-leading LNG facility that everyone in the region can be proud of, and bene� t from.”

Stewart World Port humming, break bulk facility handling major of� oads

Not even one year into service, the Stewart World Port dock at Stewart is the scene of a major project featuring the unloading of massive components

bound for a wind farm in northeastern B.C.Five ships arrived in spring, each carrying the

components for the 61 wind farm’s turbines which were then off-loaded via cranes located on the ships to waiting specialized trucks.

The components were then taken to a large laydown area that’s part of the Stewart World Port where they are being been placed on large transports for the journey to the windfarm location outside of Tumbler Ridge.

For Stewart World Port’s Brad Moffat, its chief development officer, the project is a perfect example of the capability and ability of the year-round, ice-free port to handle large bulk cargo.

“This is a very good port for anybody wanting anything moved into or out of northern B.C., the Yukon or even Alberta,” he said.

As for the scope of this particular wind farm project, Moffat describes in the top ten per cent of port activity along the coast.

“It’s been a great first year,” Moffat added of the Stewart World Port which opened last September at a capital cost of $70 million.

In the shipping world the Stewart World Port, which is a massive dock, is called a break bulk facility, handling goods

and material that aren’t normally shipped in containers and are not shipped in bulk such as grain.

In this case, the components for each of the 61 turbines bound for the Meikle Wind project approximately 30 kilometres from Tumbler Ridge can take up to 15 trucks.

Components for two sizes of turbines were offloaded with just over half to be 100 metres high to the generator when assembled and the others being 110 metres high to the generator.

The blades of the smaller turbines measure 103 metres in diameter while the larger ones have blades that are 120 metres in diameter.


“This is a very good port for anybody wanting anything moved into

or out of northern B.C.”

- Brad Moffat

GREAT FIRST YEAR FOR STEWART

WORLDPORT

An entire turbine, including the tower, electrical portions, blades and nacelle (the housing unit which contains the generator) can weigh more than 450,000 kilograms.

Also part of the project are huge cranes needed for installing the turbines once they reach their final destination.

These alone can require up to 30 trucks to deliver because of their weight.

One of the great benefits of the Stewart World Port, and which has proven its worth here, is the size of its laydown yard where goods and material can be stored before being either transported out to a land destination once unloaded or

gathered together for loaded onto a ship, said Moffat.And he says the Stewart World Port can now use the

windfarm project as an example of its versatility.And as for how the port secured the windfarm contract,

Moffat put the success down to “blood, sweat and hard work.”“That’s what it is about, hard work. We’ve been moving a lot

of product. We’re making some very good connections,” said Moffat.

Another example includes bringing in processing equipment for a natural gas plant in northern Alberta.

Once placed on large transport trucks in Stewart, it’s a

journey of between three and four days to get to the wind farm location near Tumbler Ridge.

The project is owned by Meikle Wind Energy LP which is wholly owned by Pattern Energy Group LP of San Francisco.

The Meikle wind farm is planned to go into operation in November, producing enough power for 54,000 homes through a 25-year purchase agreement with BC Hydro.

This is Pattern’s first such project in B.C., adding to one wind farm in Manitoba and four in Ontario.

MEET BRYAN HENRY Hi. I’m Bryan and I am proud to begin a new adventure with Glacier Toyota in the stunning Bulkley Valley. I moved to the region in April 2015 with dreams of purchasing a home and starting a family. Recently engaged, the purchase of a river front home, and being blessed with our first born son in February, I feel life could not hand me any momore aces!

I have a tourism background with 18 winters supervising ski hill operations and 12 seasons of salt water guiding in Haida Gwaii. I am glad to be welcomed into the Glacier Toyota family and look forward to many years of good times, with great people, in this beautiful town of four seasons.

Come grab a coffee and let me help you find the right vehicle to get you up the mountain or to the water. Fishing stories are encouraged and will be traded! I look forward to meeting you.

Seabridge Gold Inc. has announced it will acquire SnipGold Corp. in a $10 million deal.

SnipGold’s primary asset is the Iskut Property within the Golden Triangle area near Stewart and Wrangell, Alaska.

Seabridge chairman and CEO Rudi Fronk said Seabridge has interest in SnipGold given their experience with their KSM project, located about 30 kilometres away from the Iskut Property.

“We see a lot of similarity to what we have at KSM in terms of big bulk mineable deposits,” said Fronk. “And we also see historically at the old Johnny Mountain Mine, at the old Snip mine, there was high grade production at well, and we see that opportunity.

“It’s elephant country where you have the potential to � nd huge mineral systems, and we think Iskut is one of those big systems that we can have a lot of fun with.”

Elephant country refers to an area where big clusters of minerals are likely to be, such as in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia, where the Iskut Property is located.

“Our focus at SnipGold would be to explore and advance their assets,” said Fronk. “� at’s the type of project that will take

a lot of dollars and time to really sort it out. Junior companies like Snip really, it’s di� cult for them to raise the money to do a project like this justice, especially in a tough metal environment where we’ve been in the past � ve years, where as Seabridge has access to capital and access to other resources to go in and do the project justice.”

Related to this boom in interest in that area is Skeena Resources Ltd.’s acquisition of the old Snip mine.

Skeena Resources Ltd. entered into an option agreement with Barrick Gold Inc. to acquire the mine in April, chie� y driven by higher gold prices and therefore a lower yield-per-tonne requirement for a viable operation.

Fronk also said the paving of the Stewart-Cassiar Highway, or Highway 37, and a new power transmission line alongside the highway also played into their decision.

INTEREST HEATING UP IN GOLDEN TRIANGLE

For the � � h summer and counting, Vanderhoof Specialty Wood Products is supplying wood pellets for local homes and beyond.

Since the opening of its pellet plant in 2012, the Vanderhoof company reaches B.C. clients as far west as Prince Rupert, north to Dawson Creek, and south to 100 Mile House, as well as exporting to customers in the eastern United States, said VSWP’s general manager Keith Spencer.

“All people want to do is to buy a bag of pellets, put it into their stove, and it works,” Spencer said. “If it doesn’t work well, they don’t come back.”

� e company has bene� ted from the rising price of wood pellets from year to year — the product’s demand increased, but its supply has not, he explained.

At maximum capacity, the plant — with a single pellet press — is currently producing 15,000 tons each year.

“We are restricted by the availability of white wood (sawdust and shavings that make up the pellets),” he said. “� e market is there, but the white wood isn’t, so you’re restricted to your production.”

With seven employees hired from the area for its production,

the plant operates 24 hours a day for � ve days a week.“We work hard,” Spencer said. “We talk about the

business, the quality of the product, the customer base, what the customer is needing.

“� e employees understand that part, their responsibility too, and they respond.”

Including the workers who operate the company’s manufacturing facility for finger-jointed lumber production, VSWP’s workforce is young, as the company employs mostly first-time workers, Spencer explained.

Many start as seasonal employees during the summer, and while some may continue as full-time workers through the winter, others move on to post-secondary education. As a result, though some workers have stayed for over 10 years, the company has a large turnover rate.

“Everyone has a starting point,” he said. “We supply that and give people an opportunity to advance themselves for a higher paying job.”

Employees undergo safety training with all equipment used, job-shadow with experienced workers, and are then evaluated.

“If they have all the safety procedures understood, then they are cut loose to go on their own,” Spencer said. “That’s what we work on everyday — training people.”

Originally started in 1991, VSWP became part of the Vanderhoof-based BID Group of Companies in 2009, and owns one of Canada’s 41 pellet plants that produced over three million tons in total each year — as of 2013 according to Statistics Canada.

New Burns Lake method could be a money-maker, job-creator

Guy Epkens-Sha� er, president of the Burns Lake Mountain Biking Association, wants the trails on of Boer Mountain in Burns Lake cleaned up from blow

down debris.Epkens-Sha� er is one of many people in Burns Lake who

think that blowdown and fallen dead trees on local trails have a negative impact on tourism.

Burns Lake resident Klaus Posselt, owner of the Tathsa Group, says the he has a way of addressing the issue of fallen dead trees on trails di� erently.

He suggests the use of a harvester and forwarder, a $1 million piece of equipment he already owns.

Posselt said this method would not only be more e� ective, but that it would also generate money.

Most of the wood removed from the trails is not utilized. Chunks of trees are le� behind for � rewood while branches and treetops are burned.

“[� is way] wood can be utilized and turned into jobs,” he said.

Posselt said he’s been trying to implement this method in the Burns Lake area for several years.

According to Greig Bethel, Public A� airs O� cer for the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, the ministry is currently considering the use of forwarders in the Burns Lake area.

Bethel agrees that forwarders can be e� ective to clear trails when salvaging timber is the primary goal.

“� e ministry is in the process of working on site selection that would support operations that use forwarders,” he said.

Bethel added that fallen trees are a common occurrence across the province during winter, especially in mountain pine beetle-a� ected areas such as Burns Lake.

Serving the Northwest for Over 47 years

The Lake Babine Nation (LBN) is seeking for partnerships to expand operations of its biomass plant, which is expected to be on the grid in 2017.

Although the plan is for the biomass plant to burn wood chips from LBN communities such as Fort Babine and Tachet, project manager Bernard Patrick said there’s opportunity to utilize wood waste from other areas of the regional district and to provide energy to di� erent communities.

Patrick said a feasibility study has already been conducted and that it would be possible for LBN to supply energy to buildings such as hospitals and nursing homes in nearby communities such as Burns Lake.

� e � rst phase of the project, which included a feasibility study, engineering design and crew training, has already concluded. During Phase 1, eight locals received on-the-job training through the government-funded job creation partnership project.

“� e job creation partnership project is a � rst for our First Nation and the bene� ts coming from this have already impacted the communities in a positive way,” said Patrick. “It has brought back hope that both the communities of Tachet and Fort Babine

can become self-sustaining and uni� ed and the workers are getting fantastic job experience.”

As part of the program, participants built 67 � rewood storage sheds for LBN in Tachet and Fort Babine, as well as two timber bridges. � e � rewood sheds were intended to reduce power consumption in those communities.

“It’s a win for everyone when eight people gain access to work experience in forestry practices that will help an entire First Nations community become energy self-su� cient,” said Nechako Lakes MLA John Rustad. “� e Lake Babine Nation and its residents will bene� t from this job creation partnership for years to come.”

Lake Babine Nation is now waiting for funding from di� erent agencies to start Phase 2 of the construction project, which involves the construction of an underground distribution system in Fort Babine.

Phase 3 of the construction project, which is expected to wrap up in 2017, will see the construction of an energy centre in Woyenee, as well as a business set-up and operation training.

Once completed, the biomass plant is expected to create � ve full-time and eight part-time permanent jobs.

According to Patrick, other bene� ts from this project include the reduction of LBN’s carbon footprint, revenue from the sale of heat and electricity and cost-e� cient heating.

� e province has provided $40,000 to LBN for a feasibility study in 2013, and more than $110,000 for the job creation

partnership project.� e provincial government estimates Northern B.C. has

the largest availability of wood biomass in the country, with approximately 3.1 million cubic metres of potential forest tenure available for use as biomass for energy.

The Prince Rupert Port Authority (PRPA) highlighted strengthened relationships with local stakeholders while presenting the successes of its diversi� ed growth strategy

in 2015. Details of the PRPA’s activities and � nancial results were discussed during its Annual Public Meeting, held at the Crest Hotel in Prince Rupert.

A total of 19.6 million tonnes were processed by the port’s terminal operators in 2015, representing a decrease of 5.6 per cent from the 20.7 million tonnes shipped in 2014. Despite a decrease in total volume through the port, volumes of grains and biofuel remained strong, and intermodal cargo through Fairview Container Terminal saw a 26 per cent annual increase for a record total of 776,412 TEUs.

� e port also stated that 2015 was a strong year for PRPA’s � nances, with a record total revenue of $53 million and total assets surpassing $200 million.

“In addition to increasing the competitiveness of our Canadian gateway, we are particularly proud of the investment of time and resources into our partnerships with the organizations that keep goods moving safely and e� ciently through the Port of Prince Rupert,” said Bud Smith, chair of PRPA’s board of directors. “Our success is built not only on the relationships we foster with customers and supply chain partners, but also on our ability to share values and bene� ts with the governments and residents of the communities

where we operate.”Don Krusel, CEO and president of the Port of Prince Rupert said

despite market pressures, last year, the port continued to position itself as a responsible global player.

“In a world of � uctuating commodity prices, safely navigating the turbulent waters of the trade and transportation sector is critical to our success,” Krusel said.

“In 2015 we were able to make signi� cant investments in infrastructure that expand our capacity for cargo, as well as implementing safeguards that protect this trade and the natural resources that we steward on British Columbia’s north coast.”

Lax Kw’alaams receives largest community investment from the port to date

Residents in the remote Lax Kw’alaams community are bene� ting from a $539,400 investment from the Port of Prince Rupert’s Community Investment Fund.

� e announcement stated that this the Port’s largest Community Investment Fund contribution to date. � e funds went into two projects to provide recreational activities for the youth and to enhance digital connectivity for the municipality.

� e Coast Tsimshian Academy and recreation centre received equipment and programming through the Outdoor Leadership Adventure Program. Activities such as biking, kayaking and camping are available for families who want to organize an excursion independently or for a larger group.

� e second initiative, the Smart Community infrastructure project, has aimed to modernize the community’s information technology system through enhanced management of its computer systems.

“As a remote community without road access, communication infrastructure is so important to our business, education, safety and health services,” said Lax Kw’alaams Mayor John Helin. “Our IT systems have not been upgraded for 20 years, so improved digital connections will have tremendous impact on each and every member of our community. Likewise, new recreational equipment and programs will allow children and adults to access and explore a greater extent of our pristine territory.”

� e technology system upgrade o� ers greater access to online education and programs for members of the community. � e computer systems are equipped with so� ware and security to

meet global standards for municipal administration and business communication. � e community now has new phone, surveillance and alarm systems to improve the digital security of the IT network.

“� ese projects are so much more than just wiring, hardware and equipment,” said Don Krusel, president and CEO of the Port of Prince Rupert. “� e communications infrastructure we’re investing in will improve the quality of life by creating new jobs in the community and allowing Lax Kw’alaams to share its unique cultural heritage in new ways. And we’re thrilled to hear stories about the outdoor adventures their children are embarking on with the new recreation programs and equipment available in the community.”

� e Outdoor Leadership Adventure Program has been integrated over the past two years. Students have trained through the Coast Tsimshian Academy and all residents can bene� t from the courses o� ered in kayaking and wilderness excursions. School sta� members have also had the opportunity to become certi� ed to instruct and lead di� erent recreation activities, where they can also learn practical skills and gain leadership and mentorship opportunities.

“� e children of our community are already reaping the bene� ts of this program, and it’s immediately apparent when you step foot in our school,” said Kelly Rambeau, Principal of the Coast Tsimshian Academy. “We’re grateful for the support we’ve received from the Port of Prince Rupert and the investments they are making in the future of our community.”
