First cruise ship scheduled to arrive Sunday

BY SHAUN THOMASPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

There will be a few hundred more people making their way around Prince Rupert on Sunday afternoon as the 2015 cruise season gets underway.

The first ship of the season, the 490-passenger Seven Seas Navigator, will be pulling in to Northland Cruise Terminal at one p.m. for the start of an eight-hour visit that will see passengers depart at approximately 9 p.m.

“The Prince Rupert Port Authority is looking forward to welcoming back the 490-passenger Seven Seas Navigator this Sunday, as Prince Rupert launches the 2015 cruise season with the first of 10 calls,” said Brian Friesen, marketing manager for the Prince Rupert Port Authority, noting this

year will be an introduction to Prince Rupert for some of the vessels.

“This summer we are excited to host two new ships to the Alaska theatre, as the French cruise line Ponant enters the market.”

While the port authority has confirmed the entry of two new ships, Friesen said there is still ongoing work in the background to draw even more ships to Prince Rupert in the years ahead.

“During the off-season, the Prince Rupert Port Authority hired cruise consultants Bermello & Ajamil to conduct a cruise market assessment to better understand current market opportunities,” he explained.

“Together with the City of Prince Rupert, Tourism Prince Rupert, Prince Rupert and District Chamber of Commerce as well as local tourism operators, a cruise working group has been formed and is currently building a cruise tourism strategy for the future based on the findings of the report.”

The next ship to call on Northland will be during Seafest weekend when the 684-passenger MS Regatta makes its first of two calls to Prince Rupert. In total, seven vessels will bring 3,366 passengers to Prince Rupert between May 31 and Sept. 22, down from 10 vessels and 3,622 passengers last year.


The provincial government and Pacific NorthWest LNG signed a project development agreement on May 20 that both parties say moves the project closer to becoming a reality.

“For Pacific NorthWest LNG and Progress Energy, the issue of the highest importance was stability and p r e d i c t a b i l i t y in relation to an investment decision on a $36-billion project ... this is a good day for stability and predictability,” said Pacific NorthWest LNG president Michael Culbert.

“This is extremely good news and is indicative of the B.C. government’s commitment to develop an LNG industry,” he said.

The deal, which includes a long-term royalty agreement that covers 2016 through to 2038, is anything but final as it will need approval from both parties.

“The agreement is subject to internal approval from Pacific NorthWest LNG and Petronas and it will then be introduced into the Legislature,” said Premier Christy Clark.

“It will not come into effect until approved by the Legislative Assembly and all of its members. Once the agreement is tabled and debated, it will be available for public viewing and scrutiny and I am sure that there will be no stone left unturned.”

Once approved the agreement will not come into effect until Pacific NorthWest LNG reaches a final investment decision, something Culbert said may also come in different stages.

“We are looking to make a, hopefully positive, commercial final investment decision in the next few months. That would then be followed by a final investment decision once all of the regulatory approvals are in place, which we anticipate will be in the coming months,” he said.

The Lelu Island terminal hit a wall of opposition from members of the Lax Kw’alaams band earlier this month, but

Clark said she is confident it is a hurdle that can be overcome.

“It has been my view all along that we can get agreements in place with First Nations and that is what we have done with 28 First Nations ... we are likely to see this succeed as well,” she said, noting a statement from the band acknowledged possible project benefits and did not entirely close the door on energy projects.

“There is clearly a basis to proceed and I think that with that goodwill around the table that will be done.”

However, the Friends of Wild Salmon question the validity of the Premier’s statement, saying the project poses too much of a threat to the stocks of the Skeena River.

“Communities of the Skeena watershed are not willing to risk losing their salmon for Petronas’ short-sighted LNG project. Salmon have been the roots of our culture for generations and we will ensure that they remain so for generations to come,” said Gerald Amos, Friends of Wild Salmon chair.

“The selection of this site was not done in consultation with First Nations and Skeena communities. Given the strong value that salmon hold in this watershed, this was an extreme oversight on the part of the Port of Prince Rupert, Petronas, and the Province of B.C.,” added Des Nobels of Prince Rupert.

NDP opposition leader John Horgan said he’s worried the agreements, won’t

provide what he termed a “robust return on resources” to the province and its citizens.

He singled out job creation, saying so far large-scale LNG proposals call for temporary foreign workers to make up the bulk of the construction work force. Any development agreements between LNG companies and the province should include provisions for provincial employment, said Horgan.

“In my view she’s spending too much energy on meeting the needs of the companies and not nearly enough energy

to meet the needs of the province,” he said during a visit to Terrace last week.

On the Pacific NorthWest LNG agreement in particular, Horgan said it was an “attempt to stem the bleeding” of the fall out when Lax Kw’alaams community members turned down an offer of $1 billion over 40 years in return for approval to build on Lelu Island.

B.C. government officials estimate $8-billion in LNG royalty revenue from the project over the 23 year royalty agreement.

No reductions coming as BC Ferries doesn’t cut major routes

BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

BC Ferries announced last week it won’t proceed with proposed service reductions on the routes connecting the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island, resulting in the company needing to secure an additional $4.9 million.

“On the major routes, since 2008, BC Ferries has reduced service by eight per cent in the off-season on the three major routes between the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island. We looked at further opportunities for service reductions on the major routes, however given the eight per cent already taken out, it was very hard to find opportunities to further reduce service that were not outweighed by revenue loss,” explained spokesperson Deborah

Marshall.“The major routes have much higher

utilization, and there would be more revenue loss than cost savings if BC Ferries further cut major route sailings. Making changes just for the sake of changes would erode revenue.”

While the company will need to make up that revenue elsewhere to meet its budget, Marshall said the northern routes are safe from any further service cuts.

“BC Ferries committed to saving the $4.9 million and will save it in efficiencies elsewhere, not in further service reductions,” she said.

“The Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure has stated that there won’t be any further service reductions on the minor and northern routes.”

Conservatives pick candidateBY ROD LINKTERRACE / Black Press

Tyler Nesbitt of Terrace has been chosen as the Conservative Party of Canada’s candidate for the Skeena - Bulkley Valley riding for this fall’s federal election.

Nesbitt defeated another Terrace resident, MaryAnn Freeman.

Voting took place May 23 and May 24 through a mobile poll which stopped in communities throughout the riding before concluding in

Terrace Sunday night.Candidates had a chance to speak and party

members to ask questions at each stop.“We had an excellent turn out, much greater

than anticipated at all voting polls,” said riding association Cathy Lindseth of the two-day vote.

Nesbitt is a manager with Nechako Northcoast, the company with the provincial road and bridge maintenance contract in the area.

He was born in Prince Rupert and has lived in Terrace since 2009.

As major industry turns its attention to the North, the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) has launched an initiative to examine what the cumulative impacts of development could be.

The Cumulative and Community Impacts Research Consortium (CCIRC) will provide a platform for research and dialogue on recent and proposed increases for resource development across

Northern British Columbia and the effects on communities and regions. The CCIRC will bring together experts, knowledge and resources from three existing UNBC institutes — the Community Development Institute, the Health Research Institute and the Natural Resources and Environmental Studies Institute.

“As British Columbia and Canada continue to look north, it is important that we gain a robust understanding of effects associated with development. The CCIRC is an exciting new platform to have these important discussions that will lead the way to inform future policy decisions,” said UNBC president Dr.

Daniel Weeks.“The CCIRC will draw on diverse expertise

to engage in dialogue with regional voices and conduct research on the cumulative and long-term impacts of resource development. Our work seeks to integrate environmental, community, and health perspectives to improve policy and practice,” added CCIRC project lead Chris Buse.

The group plans to begin discussing development with First Nations, businesses, industry groups, residents, government officials and other stakeholders in the coming months, with plans in place for community workshops and online information hubs.

The CCIRC is funded through a $225,000 contribution from the Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions (PICS) and UNBC’s Office of Research.

“This innovative endeavor will raise awareness across B.C. about the on-the-ground realities and opportunities that the north is facing due to this unprecedented scale of resource development. These pockets of development will have major cumulative impacts so this research is timely and essential,” said UNBC PICS coordinator Kyle Aben.

CCIRC lead Chris Buse, Health Research Institute member Margot Parkes, Natural Resources and Environmental Studies Institute member Art Fredeen, and UNBC PICS coordinator Kyle Aben will be contributing to the consortium.

David Suzuki bringing tour to Prince Rupert


At a time when many in the region are focused on the potential environmental impacts of industrial development on the North Coast, noted environmental activist David Suzuki will be bringing his Celebrating Coastal Connections tour to Prince Rupert on June 10.

The tour will feature a film about climate change in B.C. by Ian Mauro, an award-winning community-based researcher and filmmaker. Mauro’s documentaries include Qapirangajuq: Inuit Knowledge and Climate Change and Climate Change in Atlantic Canada. The David Suzuki Foundation has supported Mauro in documenting climate change’s impacts on the West Coast.

“These communities are close to my heart, and I’m looking forward to honouring our shared past and building a future together that is both ecologically sustainable and economically vibrant,” Suzuki said.

“We want to hear about the challenges facing our coastal communities, successes in overcoming those challenges and visions for a healthy future,” added David Suzuki Foundation Western Canada director Jay Ritchlin.

BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Clarence Martin has committed much of his life to improving life for First Nations people on the North Coast.

Whether it was his role in evolving Canadian First Nations Radio (CFNR) and the All Native Basketball Tournament (ANBT) into what they are today, advocating for First Nations people in various jobs or leading by example with his practice of Nisga’a traditions and a healthy lifestyle, Clarence has kept First Nations people in the forefront of his mind.

For most of his life Clarence has called Port Edward home, growing up in the First Nations village of the Nelson Brothers cannery.

“There was no television, no phones, no electricity, no indoor plumbing. But we had fun,” said Clarence, adding all of the village’s First Nations children played with each other.

When Clarence was a teenager he relocated to Vancouver Island to attend high school, where he was able to receive his diploma at an exclusive all-boys private school in Shawnigan Lake thanks to the Anglican Church in Prince Rupert.

“It was a culture shock for me, coming from a little cannery town going into this environment of rich, spoiled kids. But wow, what an education,” he recalled.

After completing his schooling, Clarence returned to the North Coast and began working steadily in the cannery.

In the ‘70s, Clarence’s involvement with the All Native Basketball Tournament began through his photography hobby. Clarence attended games to shoot photos of the action and crowds for fun, with the tournament’s organizers eventually approaching Clarence about using his photos.

“Then I just started volunteering ... it turned into 33 years,” said Clarence, who became chair of the ANBT organizing committee, a position he held for about 20 years before stepping down.

For Clarence, it wasn’t the games, but the social aspect of the ANBT that caught his interest.

During his time as chair, Clarence said he never watched a full game because he

was always busy talking with attendees.“I bookmarked in my mind what they

were saying about basketball and gradually made changes to the event over the years that reflected people’s comments,” he explained.

Some of these changes included the introduction of the Masters and Women’s divisions in 1993, and bringing all of the tournament’s games under one roof with the purchase of the portable floor for the civic centre arena.

In 1974, Clarence switched professions and became a First Nations court worker, helping individuals navigate through the judicial system.

“Our people would want to get out of there fast, so they would plead guilty. My job was to demystify and advocate for them,” he explained.

That sentiment carried on during Clarence’s time on the North Coast Tribal Council, comprised of seven Aboriginal communities in the north mandated to manage and administer their own affairs.

After fulfilling its mandate 12 years later, Clarence switched fields once again, this time moving into radio.

When Clarence started his time at CFNR, he said the station’s library was comprised of mainly prairie music and had absolutely no advertisements, being funded by government entirely.

Clarence wanted to see CFNR’s format changed to help bring in a larger audience and knew classic rock and local programming was key.

When the station tested the theory by rebroadcasting a Vancouver rock station, it proved to be a smart move.

“After three days, our phones were ringing and ringing. People just loved it; I knew it worked,” Clarence said.

Despite some opposition from mainstream broadcasters in the region, CFNR slowly grew to become the station it is today.

Clarence said a key in the process was taking advice from others. He attended countless provincial and national broadcaster conventions and asked an endless stream of questions.

“You can never do anything all by yourself, you have to ask for help,” he said.

Today, CFNR broadcasts in more than

50 communities across B.C., with listeners from anywhere in the world being able to tune into the station through its website.

And working with CFNR has had its fair share of perks over the years, with Clarence being able to meet celebrities such as Rubin “Hurricane” Carter and Lou Diamond Phillips.

But for Clarence, the most noteworthy experience was partying with members of AC/DC in 2000.

It happened after an AC/DC concert in Vancouver that CFNR had held a contest for. Clarence and his wife Yvonne attended the show and decided to have some drinks in the lounge of their hotel afterward, the Four Seasons. Because it was a Sunday night, the lounge was empty. So when members of AC/DC walked in, Clarence spotted them right away. Clarence said he invited the band to join their table, with lead singer Brian Johnson reportedly responding, “alright mate”.

“Brain Johnson was sitting right beside me all night. We were telling jokes all night,” he said, adding they were invited to the following night’s concert as the band’s guests.

“He was so much fun.”Although Clarence has many personal

achievements to be proud of, his family tops the list.

Clarence and his wife Yvonne will celebrate their 45th wedding anniversary this July. Over the years the couple had

four daughters and one son together and today are the proud grandparents of nine grandchildren.

“I’m proud of my kids for developing into great adults with great families. It make my wife and I very happy,” said Clarence.

With Clarence drumming and dancing with the Gitmaxmak’ay Dance Group for more than 25 years, he’s thrilled to have his daughter and granddaughter by his side during weekly practices every Monday.

“I was so happy that they decided to join and follow our traditions,” he said.

Clarence said he’s relieved he’s still alive today, as a number of years ago a doctor told him he’d only live another eight years if he continued on with his lifestyle.

Clarence immediately started long distance walking and changed his diet, losing a significant amount of weight in one month.

“I still do five and a half miles a day. I walk from my house in Port Edward to the Galloway Rapids bridge and back at least four days a week,” he said.

Never one to give unsolicited advice, Clarence said he’s pleased to see other seniors around him making healthier choices because of his actions.

During his walks, Clarence said there’s always an unending stream of smiling faces and waves coming from the vehicles passing by on his way to and from his home in sunny Port Edward.

This weekend was, admittedly, the first in some time yours truly has worked the weekend coverage shift due to staff

vacation schedules. And, quite frankly, I don’t think there could

have been a better weekend to highlight the community spirit and talent of Prince Rupert.

Taking in Salmonfest at the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre was both enjoyable and impressive.

You don’t often get a crowd that large gathered in the Russell Gamble Gymnasium, save for the All Native Basketball Tournament every February. Aside from the crowd, I must confess to having a soft spot for events that include people proudly displaying their culture — in this case it was First Nations dancing and drumming with a

Chinese Lion Dance thrown in to mix it up a bit.

From the civic centre it was a short walk up the road to the Oldfield Creek Hatchery for Smoltfest. Arriving at the hatchery at almost exactly 1 p.m. for the start, there was already a line of cars and dozens of parents and children awaiting the chance to release some smolt into the creek. It’s a rare opportunity for young people to get hands-on with the salmon that play such an important role in life on the North Coast. The intrigue expressed by the kids, coupled with the volunteers manning information booths and games, make this a community event families won’t want to miss in the future.

After a brief break for dinner, it was off to the Lester Centre of the Arts to watch young performers take to the stage, some for the first time, to sing and perform for a mostly-packed crowd at Rockstock. As well as listening to the great vocal performances, it was nice to see some of the younger players perform songs that are truly classic but well ahead of their time.

It’s weekends like this that highlight the amazing quality of life people in Prince Rupert can sometimes take for granted. If you get a chance to take in some of the lesser-known community events throughout the year, you should check them out. It will be worth it.

A weekend in the Rupert life

Opposition politicians were outraged over the B.C. government’s latest effort to secure its first major liquefied natural gas deal, announced

last week.Premier Christy Clark, Natural Gas Development

Minister Rich Coleman and Finance Minister Mike de Jong signed agreements with Pacific Northwest LNG for a long-term gas royalty structure that could run for 30 years. The government says the deal guarantees minimum royalty revenue for the province, while the investors increase their revenue if the spread between gas prices in North America and Asia increases during the term.

Pacific Northwest is a partnership of some of the biggest investors and gas customers: Malaysian state giant Petronas, its Canadian subsidiary Progress Energy, Chinese state firm Sinopec, Indian Oil Corp. and Japan Petroleum.

These corporate giants will review a project development agreement, and if they approve, Clark will convene the legislature to approve changes that would compensate them if the new LNG income tax increases.

Environmental changes such as a “discriminatory” carbon tax increase or greenhouse gas regulations on LNG would also trigger compensation. Future changes to general carbon tax or corporate income tax rates would not.

NDP leader John Horgan warned that “too much lolly” is being offered, with no word of job guarantees for B.C. or a deal with First Nations at the proposed site near Prince Rupert.

Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver called it “shocking and irresponsible,” repeating his prediction that the global market is swimming in gas and will never support huge green-field projects across B.C.

For the investors, it’s like a mortgage. There are “subjects” to be removed before the deal closes, and this is a proposed $36 billion mortgage for pipelines, LNG processing and shipping facilities.

This isn’t just a political dispute. For example, Progress has drilled about 500 gas wells in northeastern

B.C., and Petronas took it over with this development in mind. Without exports, B.C.’s whole gas industry is looking at a bleak future of low prices and demand.

Petronas delayed its investment decision to this year and cited exactly these concerns, certainty on taxation and royalties beyond the election cycle. With that in hand, their obstacles remain federal environmental approval and a revenue sharing deal with a First Nation to host a terminal.

Pacific Northwest CEO Michael Culbert notes that answers to questions posed by the Lax Kw’alaams First Nation were submitted to federal regulators only days before they started voting on a $1 billion share of LNG proceeds over 40 years.

Does aboriginal title offer a veto over projects like this? According to the recent Supreme Court of Canada decision on the Tsilhqot’in case, the short answer is no.

Objections could be overridden if governments determine a project is in the interest of the greater public.

Answers are in the forestEditor: The Province’s 2004 Port Property Tax Act

capped the mill rate on new heavy industry and set the city of Prince Rupert on the identical course that left many B.C. cities with excessive post heavy industry clean-up costs and unaffordable civic infrastructure.

Exempting global privateers who build, sell and run from paying municipal taxes in exchange for an opening by the Province to tax B.C. worker’s incomes at their source and at every till has not served Prince Rupert residents fairly.

Sold out by the Province, the city goes hat in hand begging for political handouts and corporate largess to supplement already high residential tax rates that barely fill potholes.

With the huge drop in world LNG prices, global LNG “nvestors” are now looking for a 100 per cent capital investment refund before paying royalties to British Columbia. Gas prices are predicted to drop even lower when 6 new Australian LNG plants flood the Asian market with cheap gas in 2018. According to Australian news sources; as a result of the current low world gas prices the state of Queensland lost over a billion dollars in royalty revenue in the last year.

should be shaking in our boots because foreign corporations will go elsewhere if they don’t get a 100 per cent royalty holiday till we have paid for their plant, we might ask if it would make more sense for domestic companies to invest in and produce electrical power using B.C. gas driven turbines to supply reasonable cost energy to OUR growing cities, mines and industries?

Rather than displacing First Nations from Treaty lands and flooding sustainable farmlands and ranches that grow beef and grain, B.C. Gas turbines could drive growth and transition to clean energy.

Also, why should we export our non-renewable resources out of the province/country royalty free? How are we to fund a B.C. Oil and Gas Heritage Fund? We must consider diminishment rates and net energy yields from gas fields and how we will pay for the modernization of worn out city infrastructures.

B.C.’s timber producing lands have been defined, as have its gas and oil fields. There are no new undiscovered forests nor are there vast undiscovered easily recoverable oil and gas fields. Unlike forests, gas and oil fields diminish permanently.

Is this really the development deal we want for B.C.’s non-renewable resources?

Editor:On behalf of Westview Terminal, we thought

it would be a good time to reach out to residents in the local area.

We’re committed to ensuring that the impact of our terminal operations are as minimized as possible, and we want to share the steps we’re taking to do that as we head into the drier season in Prince Rupert.

Road dust from our access road picks up considerably during the summer, so we are asking that all of our visitors, employees, contractors and longshoremen accessing the terminal strictly observe the 20 km/h speed limit. We’ll also be using local services to water the road from time to time to keep the road dust down.

Warmer conditions may require us to aerate the silos more often to control the temperature,

which can increase wood odors in the area. While safety is our first consideration, we will minimize aeration frequency and try to time aerations with winds that are blowing out to the Harbour.

We should also note that we’re heading into pollen season. Given our past experience, pollen releases have often provided a false perception that terminal operations have suddenly become dusty. While this doesn’t preclude us from operating to our strict cleanliness policy, and being ever vigilant for potential health concerns, we do hope you will keep natural factors in mind as a potential contributor.

We are continuing to work with the Port Authority to monitor sound, air quality, dust fall and speciation origins and have been encouraged by progress made in these areas.

The Westview Team

Westview addresses concerns

Rail connection linked BC to trade networksOne of the greatest

achievements in Canadian history

was connecting the vast country from coast to coast with a network of railroads.

Committing to build the world’s longest railway was a monumental task that began in Canada’s infancy as a nation, and was advanced by Prime Minister John A Macdonald as early as 1871.

By the turn of the century, railways had become a Canadian obses-sion.

They continued to be integral to the history and development of the territories they traversed.

For modern-day Prince Rupert, the formation of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway in 1903, with its mandate to connect Winnipeg, Mani-toba with the Pacific coast, was the single most important factor in the establishment of the city and its outlying districts.

Even at the beginning of the twentieth century, thanks to the vision of Grand Trunk Pacific General Manager Charles Hays and endorse-ment of Prime Minister Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Prince Rupert was already acknowledged for possessing a strategic deepwater location closer in proximity to Asia than established ports like Vancouver.

The sod-turning ceremony launching the construction of the GTPR was held in northern Ontario in late 1905, and it was several years be-fore construction began in British Columbia in 1908.

The section of track across this province is regarded as one of the most difficult and expensive ever to be laid in North America.

As an example, the 300-kilometre portion of track from Prince Ru-pert to Hazelton took four years to complete due to difficult terrain, extreme weather, and the 5,400 tonnes of explosives needed to blast the routes three tunnels through solid rock.

At this time, the size of the GTPR construction project was second in scale only to the Panama Canal.

It took nearly nine years to reach completion. In the spring of 1914 a “Last Spike” celebration took place in Fort Fraser, BC, approximately 135 kilometres west of Prince George. Dignitaries from across the coun-try converged for the historical moment in western Canadian history.

The majority of the GTPR is still in use as Canadian National’s (CN) main line from Winnipeg to Jasper, Alberta, and its northern main line from Jasper to Prince Rupert.

The routing and high construction standards of the GTPR are still being enjoyed today. The line represents the lowest elevation of any rail-way crossing the Rocky Mountains.

This advantage translates into a competitive advantage for CN and the Port of Prince Rupert.

A lower rail grade equates to fuel efficiency and the ability to operate longer unit trains for hauling a variety of cargos to and from overseas markets.

Today CN’s colossal rail network provides the greatest geographic reach of any North American railroad, and has been a primary factor in the rise of the Port of Prince Rupert as one of the fastest growing trade gateways on the planet.

Re:port is a collaborative promotional venture by the Prince Rupert Port Authority and The Northern View.

Library and Archives Canada C-046483 (public domain)ON TRACK: The “last spike” of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway was driven at Fort Fraser on April 7, 1914, connecting northern British Columbia to a transcontinental rail system. The first locomotive pulled into Prince Rupert the next day.

Backed by dozens of her peers playing guitar, bass, drums and keyboards, Faith Long gets the night off to a strong start with her cover of Echosmith’s Cool Kids.

Young musicians showcase talents at Rockstock 2015


If Saturday night is any indication, the future of Prince Rupert’s sizable music community is in good hands.

Students from Ian Lihou’s Ring System Music Studio, ranging in age from 9 to 19, took to the stage of the Lester Centre for Rockstock 2015 and put on a show that offered something for all among the hundreds of people in the audience.

Faith Long set the stage for a night of music that included 31 performances from more than three dozen singers. The performances

varied from solos with the backing of the other students to duos and groups as large as eight musicians.

Musically, one would be hard-pressed to put the show into any one genre. From the modern pop sounds of Shake It Off by Taylor Swift to the ‘70s-era Diamonds and Rust by Joan Baez to the Bon Jovi’s anthem Living On A Prayer to Nirvana’s About a Girl, the students left no musical stone unturned as they displayed their variety of musical interests and influences.

As well as providing a full evening of entertainment, the night was a fundraiser for the Lester Centre of the Arts.

A documentary delving into the cases of missing and murdered women along the Highway of Tears was screened in Prince Rupert last week.

Hundreds of people attended the screening of “Highway of Tears” at the Cineplex Theatre on May 20 and afterward shared their stories and frustrations with the lack of closure in many of the cases spanning over five decades.

Matt Smiley, who directed and helped produce “Highway of Tears”, said the documentary’s creation spawned out of passion about four years ago.

“I found out about Nicole Hoar ... and started to research her case. I had no intentions of doing a documentary, but when I was researching her case I saw the term “Highway of Tears”; I started looking and saw all of these other names popping up,” he said.

“I really wanted to find out why this was happening.”

Narrated by Canadian actor Nathan Fillion and produced by Carly Pope, a Vancouver producer and actress, “Highway of Tears” looks into the many cases of missing and murdered women along the 724 kilometre stretch of Highway 16.

The documentary also considers the effects of generational poverty, residential schools, systemic violence and high unemployment rates in First Nation reserves and how these factors have tied in with the women in the Highway of Tears cases.

Smiley has spent the last three months touring with the film and said he hopes viewers leave with a heightened consciousness.

“The more that we talk about it, the more that there’s awareness, then hopefully these cases won’t be forgotten and will be solved,” said Smiley.

There’s a long list of women who have gone missing or were murdered on Highway 16 and while some discoveries were made over the years, a significant number of the cases remain unsolved.

In 2005, the RCMP Project E-PANA investigation was launched amid growing concerns with the number of women and girls who vanished or were found dead along Highway 16 between Prince Rupert and Prince George and adjacent Highways 97 and 5, a majority of whom were Aboriginal.

The purpose of E-PANA was to determine if a serial killer, or killers, are responsible for the deaths and disappearances of 18 women and girls

identified by investigators, all last seen within a couple kilometres of the three highways between 1969 and 2006.

None of the cases included had been solved until E-PANA, a special division of the RCMP, was able to link the DNA of American drifter Bobby Jack Fowler with the 1974 murder of Colleen MacMillen, last seen in Lac La Hache before hitchhiking to a friend’s when she was 16. RCMP also believe Fowler is linked to the 1973 murders of 19-year-old Gale West and Pamela Darlington, also 19.

While not included in the official Highway of Tears collection of cases, Smiley included the disappearance of Vanderhoof’s Madison Scott and murder of Loren Donn Leslie from Prince George in his documentary; Scott’s whereabouts remains a mystery, with Prince George serial killer Cody Alan Legebokoff being found guilty of killing Leslie, who was 15 at the time of her death, in 2014.

Following the Prince Rupert showing of “Highway of Tears”, Smiley, North Coast MLA Jennifer Rice and anti-violence activist Doug Leslie, the father of Loren Donn Leslie, answered questions and spoke about the film with viewers.

For some in the audience, the film was particularly hard to watch as they had family members or friends on the screen.

A family member of Cicilia Anne Nikal, last seen in Smithers near Highway 16 in 1989, and Delphine Nikal, who disappeared in 1990 while hitchhiking from Smithers to Telkwa, said hitchhiking was common among young women in the area who often had no other means of transportation.

The woman said she also grew up on the same block as Ramona Wilson, who went missing in 1994 while hitchhiking to a friend’s house in Smithers. The following year, her remains were found near the Smithers Airport.

“It just tears my heart out that (the investigation) just stopped and has never been solved,” said the family member.

“I want to know why.”Darlene Wolfe also knew three of

the women who lost their lives on the Highway of Tears, and acknowledged Nicole Hoar for increasing awareness on the disappearances and killings along Highway 16.

“The eyes of the non-natives were opened (to the) problem on our highway. We need to thank Nicole, and send condolences and comfort to her family,” Wolfe said, adding the same should be done to the families of all of the Highway of Tears victims.

“We pray all the time that the government will open their eyes and start doing something.”

Rice said the reason she has pushed for the implementation of a shuttle service for communities between Prince Rupert and Prince George, a recommendation made in the Missing Women’s Commission report, is because it’s an “affordable and doable” way to keep girls and women safe on the

highway. Since being elected, Rice has spoken in the legislature on the subject 17 times and is frustrated with the lack of response from the provincial government.

Smiley said he was taken aback when “Highway of Tears” was screened for members of parliament and senators in Ottawa earlier this month and no one from the Conservative Party attended.

“I thought that was a little disconcerting,” he said.

Smiley launched a campaign on Change.org petitioning the federal government to implement a federal act to end violence against Aboriginal women in Canada

“In about a week, we have over 2,300 signatures so far. I can see people are really starting to engage, and that’s important,” Smiley said last Wednesday.

Two women included in the Highway of Tears cases were last seen in Prince Rupert: Tamara Chipman, 22, was last seen on Sept. 21, 2006 hitchhiking along Highway 16 outside of Prince Rupert, and Alberta Williams, 24, who disappeared in August, 1989. Her body was found outside of Prince Rupert several weeks later. Both are unsolved.

Salmon complete hatchery life at SmoltfestSalmon complete hatchery life at SmoltfestBY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Approximately 7,000 juvenile salmon were released into the waters of Oldfield Creek on Saturday afternoon as the Prince Rupert Salmonid Enhancement Society invited the public to be a part of Smoltfest.

Dozens of children of all ages had their buckets filled with smolt reared at the hatchery before making their way to various points along the creek to set them free.

While the release of the smolt was certainly the highlight of the afternoon, there was more to Smoltfest than just that. Volunteers were on hand to distribute cookies and juice boxes, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans booth provided more information on what the future holds for the smolt that were just released, North Pacific Cannery had some information and games for the kids and the Vancouver Aquarium helped educated youth about other marine animals. Entertainment was provided by the duo of Kat Jones and Ray Jamaica.

The Jim Ciccone Civic Centre was packed throughout the day on May 23 as the Gitmaxmak’ay Nisga’a Society and Dancers hosted Salmonfest 2015.

The 12-hour event, which celebrates the return of salmon to the Skeena River and the importance of salmon to First Nations throughout the Northwest, included nine First Nations Dance Groups from throughout the region as well as a performance from the Prince Rupert Lion Dance Club.

In addition to the various dance groups, the event included a Grand Entrance and Grand Finale, a session on youth empowerment and a variety of vendors set up in the Dick St. Louis Auditorium.

The festival also took a break at 1 p.m. to allow spectators and participants to help release young smolts up the road at the Oldfield Creek Hatchery for Smoltfest.

Members of the Prince Rupert and District Chamber of Commerce were given an update on the proposed WCC LNG project during their monthly luncheon on May 20.

Scott Pinhey, vice-president of WCC LNG, provided an overview of the tasks being undertaken for the planning phase of the project.

As a partnership, ExxonMobil Canada Ltd. and Imperial Oil Resources Limited are looking to develop a liquefied natural gas export facility on the southern portion of a piece of city-owned property on Tuck Inlet, known as District Lot 444.

WCC LNG submitted a project description in January and has started its environmental assessment process.

The National Energy Board granted WCC LNG an export permit for 30 MTA per year in March 2014, with Pinhey informing chamber members that the government recently extended the permit lifespan from 25 to 40 years

and in April, WCC LNG advised the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office that it had selected the onshore concept for the facility based on feedback from stakeholders, as opposed to the marine facility concept.

“We would start out with a two-train foundation project ... we would look at expansion from there, up to as many trains as five,” said Pinhey, noting the group is considering a 400 hectare footprint in its environmental assessment.

“We’re continually looking to try to minimize the footprint.”

WCC LNG has already completed work gathering baseline information on the archeological, geotechnical and environmental aspects of the site on Tuck Inlet.

Pinhey told chamber members WCC LNG recently established ambient air quality monitoring stations at the site and across the harbour at Seal Cove and

will start regular water quality sampling at Shwatlans Lake and Woodworth Lake later this year.

Starting in June, WCC LNG will hold working group meetings as part of the project’s environmental assessment process, meeting with First Nations stakeholders and undertaking traditional use studies.

“We need to earn trust as we go through this process with how we’re engaging and what actions we actually take, so we’re respecting the community values here,” said Pinhey.

With the Prince Rupert Port Authority, WCC LNG simulated LNG carrier transits through the Prince Rupert harbour to Tuck Inlet to ensure it could be done safely.

“We found that we could easily turn in the Tuck Inlet area in all of the conditions and scenarios where there were emergencies ... the end result we’re pretty confident with,” said Pinhey, noting a detailed simulator with real bathymetry and weather conditions was used for the simulation by B.C. marine pilots with experience in the area.

Pinhey encouraged residents to visit the WCC LNG community office in Prince Rupert, located in Suite 111 of 101 First Avenue East, for further information on the project.

Port Edward’s logistic parkBY SHAUN THOMAS PORT EDWARD / The Northern View

Those driving into Port Edward recently will have noticed a significant difference in the landscape — the area across from Kristoff Trucking, as well as behind the current shop, has been cleared out and in front of both locations are signs promoting the Port Edward Logistics Park.

Murray Kristoff, owner of Kristoff Trucking, says the recent activity is one way the company and partners Kuehne + Nagel are preparing to accommodate industry that is looking to establish itself on the North Coast.

“We are clearing the land getting it ready to develop and we will build to suit for whatever customers need on that site. If they need warehousing we will build warehousing, if it just a lay-down yard we can build that yard ... hopefully by summer we will have some

areas ready, but we will wait and see with the LNG industry how it plays out and what the immediate need will be,” he said, noting the park should increase the competitiveness of the international freight forwarding firm.

“We’re their people on the ground and anything we do will enhance their work on the projects as well. It allows them to be a more competitive bidder on their logistics contracts because of the amenities they can provide — lay-down yards, warehousing, trucking, crane service. Just about anything to do with logistics we can handle it.”

While optimistic LNG will become a reality on the North Coast, Kristoff said the company is also preparing for growth regardless following the announced expansion of Fairview Terminal.

“It is amazing to get that kind of increased volumes in a small town like this, so we’re ready either way,” he said.

The Prince Rupert Football Club is getting ready to kick-off a busy year on the pitch with the first tournament of the year coming up this weekend.

The team will travel to Kitsegukla for the community’s annual tournament and will be arriving as the defending champions. Team coach Shane Swanson said he expects it will be no easy task to retain the title the team won last year.

“Saskatchewan always has a tough team and Hazelton is usually right up there with them. There is also a BC under-18 team coming up this year that should be pretty tough,” he said.

“We’re all really looking forward to it.”

While the team will be competing under the Prince Rupert banner in Kitsegukla, Swanson said it will actually be comprised of players from across the Northwest.

“It’s tough getting player

commitment, it’s not like in the old days where we had lots of players coming out. This weekend I will be pulling players from Terrace, Smithers and Kitimat to join the seven or eight Prince Rupert

players,” he said, noting the additions to the roster are a necessity.

“In order to win at these tournaments, you need to field a really good team.”

Other tournaments scheduled for the season include trips to Greenville, Kispiox and Terrace for Riverboat Days for a Prince Rupert Elite reunion that will see former players returning from as far away as the Lower Mainland, while the team will host competitors from across the Northwest for the annual Seafest tournament in June.

“We’re all really looking “We’re all really looking forward to it.”forward to it.”

After a five-year hiatus, the Mount Hays Quickclimb is making its return in 2015.

The event, scheduled for Aug. 16, has registrants make their way up the access road to the top of the 708-metre mountain. Whether competitive or casual, Quickclimbers are encouraged to collect pledges prior to the event with the money being used for trail development on and around Kaien Island.

“Whether you’re a runner or a hiker or just someone who loves Prince Rupert’s outdoors, there’s a reason for you to get involved in Quickclimb,” said Kristina De Araujo, director of corporate services and business development for co-title sponsor Quickload Logistics.

“We are overjoyed to be working with McElhanney to increase this

event’s impact beyond what was achieved in previous years. Prince Rupert residents have historically had access to a rich network of local trails and facilities. This event will not only raise money to help re-establish safe access to the city’s backcountry, it will introduce new participants to

the challenges and rewards of trail running.”

To help people prepare for the event, organizers will be sharing training advice through quickclimb.ca, social media and local media.

Registration for the Quickclimb begins on June 1 at quickclimb.ca.

U14 soccer returns from Slurpee CupBY SHAUN THOMASPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The Prince Rupert boys under-14 team made the long trek to Kamloops on the Victoria Day Long Weekend, but returned without a victory against some tough southern competition.

After hours spent on the bus, the boys opened the tournament against

the Westside Lakers of Kamloops, who bested the North Coast squad by a final score of 2-0.

Just six hours later the team faced off against eventual tournament winners Europeant Football School, who added the Prince Rupert team to a list of victories that would include every other team in the Slurpee Cup with a final score of 5-0.

The next morning the boys faced off against Vernon United in a highly competitive game that ended with neither team able to find the back of the net.

Before boarding the bus once again for the trip home, the Rupert team faced off against the Kamloops Blaze B. While the team scored their first goal of the tournament, Kamloops won the match 4-1.

Hundreds of paddles are being personalized as part of a culture program hosted by the Prince Rupert Friendship House Association.

The Friendship House Paddle for Wellness is an educational, hands-on program engaging Friendship House staff, clients and community members in a number of culturally-based activities.

As part of the 2015 Friendship House Paddle for Wellness, North Coast residents are getting to experience painting their own paddle, having them blessed by elders in a historic ceremony and showcasing them during the Seafest parade.

The project is being led by Peter Loy, who has put on similar programs in a number of schools in the area.

“The really exciting thing about this is that (people from) every program at the Friendship House will be working on a paddle, right from the little preschoolers to the elders,” said Loy.

The 300 paddles being used for the program arrived on May 14. Before individuals started working on them later that day, the paddles were blessed by Friendship House elders with a prayer.

For the next few weeks, Paddle for Wellness participants will work on their paddles, painting on their First Nations or family crests, along with any other designs they please.

“There’s always room for personal creativity and expression in a paddle,” said Loy.

A majority of the work will be done within the set time of each Friendship House

program, although the centre is being opened up a few hours per week to give participants additional time.

Brody Edgars, who’s in the Friendship House’s youth program, started working on his paddle earlier this month and said although he’s always enjoyed doing art, he’s never worked on a project like this before.

“[Projects like this] are important because they help you learn more about your culture,” Edgars said.

Following the completion of the paddles, they will be blessed during a ceremony hosted by the Friendship House on Friday, June 12 at the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre between 3:30 and 6:30 p.m.

“It’s a celebration that we’re welcoming everybody to attend. All are welcomed; we really want to get the message out to the community at large of the importance of coming and witnessing what will take place,” said Loy, adding the event will be of significance.

“The paddle project and the blessing really is of historic measures. I’ve never heard of this many paddles being worked on and blessed before,” said Loy.

The following day, on Seafest Saturday, individuals will showcasing their paddles in the Friendship House’s entry in the Seafest parade.

Then on Sunday, June 14 the Friendship House will be hosting a canoe tug of war event for Seafest.

Furthermore, Loy said there will be a number of wellness events out at Prudhomme Lake where participants will use their paddles while learning basic canoe skills.

EVENT SPONSOR AD SPONSOR

Marie’s friends and family are Relaying because Marie has cancer.

WHO WILL YOU RELAY FOR?


Betty Weir of the CityWest Tumornators knows perhaps better than any the impact people participating in the Relay for Life have on those who are battling cancer.

“I just flew back from Vancouver on Wednesday night because my son was down there for surgery. The type of cancer he is dealing with, the diagnosis was the bad part. Since that all the measures they have taken and everything they have done has worked. It is going great for him ... all of those things are there and going great because of the fundraising other people have done to increase research and development and for staff training. It is very important and it is because of the fundraising that has been done in the past,” she said, noting the success is one shared by many whose loved ones have been diagnosed.

“The surgeon said he has done four surgeries for this type of cancer and in all of them the biopsy of the tumour came back negative. It shows the research and chemo mixture they have

developed is right on the money, it’s working, and it wasn’t there 10 years ago. If it weren’t for people who do this type of fundraising, where would we be? I know it’s making strides.”

But Betty isn’t the only Tumornator who has been affected by cancer. They all have a story to tell — some with happy endings but others without.

“My husband is a cancer survivor, I lost my dad six years ago to cancer and so it is personal for me,” said Andrea Bosman.

“My mother is a cancer survivor, she had leukemia and had to have bone marrow transplant,” added Natasha Dudoward.

For this tight-knit group of co-workers, family extends beyond flesh and bone.

“We also have three people on staff today who are currently battling cancer and we lost a CityWest family member in Terrace last year, so it’s really close to us. We live it and breath it every day,” said Bosman.

“We have 15 on the team with 13 doing the walk and two cancer survivors who will be participating in

the Survivor Lap,” added Dudoward.Though only a portion of the

CityWest staff will be taking to the field on Saturday, the entire CityWest family has come together to support their brothers and sisters.

“Pretty much all CityWest staff has been contributing through fundraising and supporting in different ways. They have all been really good,” said Anna Fehr, noting the team has raised approximately $2,500 so far.

With strong support from coworkers and concrete proof that the efforts of

those involved in the Relay for Life are having an impact, the Tumornators are hoping to see as many people as possible out at the event on Saturday.

“We simply can’t stop and need to hope that one day we will find a cure,” said Fehr.

“That is the message: We can’t just stop and we need to make people aware,” added Bosman.

The Prince Rupert 2015 Relay for Life will take place on Saturday, May 30 from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. at Prince Rupert Middle School.


The CityWest Tumornators include Andrea Bosman, Anna Fehr, Natasha Dudoward, Tanya Blyth, Vaness Gowe and Betty Weir.

The Wellness Forum happened while I was away but I heard it was fantastic, perhaps there could have been a few more in attendance. Thank you Terri-Lynne and Angela from Northern Health for supporting our community’s seniors, you worked very hard to make the forum a success. Thank you to all the directors from the Seniors’ Centre who put in much time to make the event happen.
