RCMP pull two bodies from the harbour

By Alan S. Hale The Northern View The Prince Rupert RCMP recovered the bodies of two Metlakatla men from the city’s harbour early Saturday morning.

At about 5:30 a.m. the RCMP and Coast Guard responded to a sighting of a body floating out in the Prince Rupert harbour.

When they arrived the located the body and about five hours later, while the police were investigating the area where the body was found, they found the body of a second man in the water near the dock.

While the identities of the men are not being released, the two are brothers from Metlakatla.

The RCMP’s forensic identification team and the Prince Rupert Coroner Service were then sent out to investigate.

Investigators learned that both men were seen the night before at the Metlakatla docks and appeared very drunk. The police believe that both men fell from the docks into the water and drowned. They do not believe any foul play was involved.

“It is with great sadness that we are having to inform the public of this incident, and our sincere condolences go out to the

family and friends affected by this tragic event,” says the Prince Rupert RCMP’s spokesman, Cst. Matt Ericson.

“We would also like to remind the public of the inherent dangers of consuming alcohol both near and on water, and in this circumstance the fatal consequences.”

Despite the lack of a suspicion of foul play, the RCMP and BC Coroner Service is still investigating the case. The police are asking for anyone with any more information about the incident to call 250627-0700.

“We would also like to remind the public of the inherent dangers of consuming alcohol both near and on water...”

◆ IN THE SEA CANCER FREE

Dayna McKay swims 52 KM in 19 hours to fight cancer

By Alan S. Hale The Northern View Hundreds of people lined the shore of the Prince Rupert waterfront as Dayna McKay completed her 52 kilometre swim from Port Simpson to Prince Rupert on Thursday night after swimming for about 19 hours straight.

There was chanting, drumming and singing as McKay and her escort of boats neared Prince Rupert’s shore at about 10:30 p.m. People held signs, waved, and cheered her on, and she waved back. It took four people to pluck the exhausted McKay from the water and back on to dry land where she was greeted with the complete adulation of the crowd.

McKay’s swim was called “Into the Sea Cancer Free” and was the culmination of her fundraising efforts to help fight cancer, an illness that has touched the lives of many in her community. The money raised will be split between the Richard Wesley Foundation and the BC Cancer Foundation.

The inspiration for the swim came from McKay’s uncle, Billy Sampson, who was

diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2009.

Mackay isn’t the only one who has a loved one with cancer, many people in her village community do.

McKay had her swim coincide with National Aboriginal Day, and throughout the afternoon at the celebrations at the Prince Rupert waterfront Aboriginal leaders, elders, politicians and others said how proud they were of her and how they admired her mission.

They weren’t the only ones.

Back home in Port Simpson the whole community was keeping track of her progress through out the day via CB Radio.

Some of McKay’s fundraising efforts have included soliciting corporate sponsorships to selling 50/50 tickets, holding rummage sales and a loonie auction. There is also a six-hour swim challenge to be held at the pool in Port Simpson where McKay trained for her endurance swim.

◆ ON THE TRACK

Rail traffic causing ferry delays

AGM Will be held at the LESTER CENTER on JULY 16 at 7pm.

By Shaun Thomas The Northern View The number and size of trains making their way around Prince Rupert has been creating some delays for boat traffic in the area.

The issue comes when trains stop on the track crossing the road just before the dock areas on the west end of town, and extends to both BC Ferries and the Digby Island ferry.

“We’re getting blocked in quite regularly, it almost seems to be timed just as we come back from the airport. It happens at least once per day on average, but it can be two to three times per day...The longest we’ve sat is 40 minutes, but the average is 10 to 15 minutes of being delayed,” said Craig Nicholls of the Digby Island ferry.

“There have been two or three incidents over the past month or so where movement of trains has caused BC Ferries minor delays, about 20 minutes.

We work together with CN and Maher Terminals to

try to avoid any delays...In order to avoid customer inconvenience we have delayed departures so to ensure all customers can make their sailings,” said BC Ferries spokesperson Deborah Marshall.

The issue was brought up at the recent Pinnacle Pellet terminal open house by opponents of the proposed Westview Terminal location due to the extra train traffic the facility would bring past the docks. The situation is further complicated by the increase in rail traffic expected with the start-up of phase II of Fairview Terminal, with some expecting four times as much rail traffic.

Rick Reed, manager of the airport, says he has personally been affected by the delays caused by rail traffic when it comes to catching the ferry to Digby Island and would like to see a resolution.

“With the increase in business at the ports, I sent a letter to [city manager] Gord Howie saying this should be talked about,” he said.

For its part, CN Rail says it is aware of the issue and is working with stakeholders on a solution.

Administration changes made

By Shaun Thomas The Northern View The Prince Rupert School District has released a list of changes for the 2012/2013 school year.

For the past year former CHSS principal Sandy Jones has been the principal of Charles Hays and part-time Director of Instruction for the district while Sheila Wells, the former principal of Prince Rupert Secondary School, has been the associate principal.

Effective August 1, Jones has been hired as the acting assistant superintendent for the Prince Rupert School District, which means Wells will be taking on the role of Charles Hays principal.

HIV is a real concern within our communities. You can contract HIV primarily through unprotected sex and by sharing needles. HIV can live in your body for years without you knowing and all the while you can be passing it to others. At least 25 per cent of people who are HIV+ do not know and these 25 per cent are estimated to be responsible for 75 per cent of new infections. Northern Health, in collaboration with its community partners, is working with the Province of BC to prevent the spread of HIV by expanding HIV testing, treatment, and support services to British Columbians.

OPINION

MY VIEW…

Looking at possible emergency sites...

As expected, Moose Tot Park and the tennis courts on McBride are among the possible locations for a new emergency services building or a combination of a new RCMP detachment and fire hall.

They were among a number of possible sites, but in reality they appear to be among the two best options from a safety and cost perspective.

That being said, there are some issues that the City would need to address before the public would be willing to buy the idea of locating the new facilities there. First and foremost is the replacement of the existing park, tennis court and basketball court infrastructure. These are all highly used locations by people in the town, and there would need to be a plan to replace them much sooner than later.

As well, the City would need to consider the cost of buying the old McBride Street Market and Green Medical Buildings - a quick MLS search shows it would be about $750,000 to buy the two - and their subsequent demolition into the cost-benefit analysis. And it would have to be seen if the Mason Hall sale would even be considered before putting that in as part of the plan.

Of course another concern here is having emergency vehicles pulling out onto a highway at the top of a blind hill, which comes with moving the detachment from the one side of McBride to the other.

When looking at the other central location, that being the old Dairy Queen building, you again have to consider the cost of buying and destroying the existing building and

filling the lot, but it does offer a central location with easy access to all of the main arteries of town and provides more of a police presence in the downtown core.

While each of the other options - the five-corners site and the lot beside the Highliner Inn - are possible, from my perspective it comes down to these two sites. But that’s just

my opinion.

What lays ahead, I’m sure, is a number of public hearings and input gathering from residents and stakeholders before making a decision. And even if that is not the case, let council know your thoughts on the matter in a formal way. Silence on the matter simply doesn’t help.

The 2012 tourism year so far stronger than predicted My crystal ball seems to have been cloudier than usual lately.

Not so long ago I predicted a soft season in certain sectors. Not to jinx anything by speaking too soon, but in a few cases we’re seeing just the opposite results.

It’s sometimes difficult to understand the complexities of the tourism industry, and I’ve certainly had some puzzles so far this year. Over the past week or so I’ve been talking with a variety of accommodation providers. Most are reporting the same thing – a surprising strength, particularly in walk-in bookings. But then it gets strange.

One hotel will say that there are a higher than usual number of American visitors, and the next will say it’s Europeans. When yet another hotel comments that they’re doing well and I ask if it’s European visitors and hear, “Oh, no. It’s the Australian market that’s doing it for us.”

I won’t pretend to understand it. I’m just happy for it. We’re experiencing a mini-

Now is the time to act to keep pellet terminal out of Westview Editor: When I moved to Prince Rupert in 1978 I was shocked to learn that there was no ocean front park in this ocean side community.

Over the years, I found out there were a couple of small beaches where Rupertites were able to get to the ocean. One on Ridley Island-where we actually went swimming one sunny afternoon - and the other in the area where the container port now stands. As my children were growing up we spent time on both of these beaches and I have fond memories of the time spent there. In both cases, these beaches are no longer accessible for people to enjoy. In fact now to the best of my knowledge, there are no accessible beaches for the people of Prince Rupert “unless you have a boat” which I don’t. This is a situation that needs to change.

A document from a CN 2006 cross country panel which was assembled to look at railway safety noted that, “During the 19th century many communities in Canada sprang up around railways - their link to the rest of the country and the world. Over the next century, for demographic and economic reasons, these communities expanded and many railways moved their yards and operating facilities away from the highly populated town centres.”

Prince Rupert is a prime example of this, as one of the main reasons for the establishment of our community is the presence of the railway. However, we have been left in the 19th century with the railway continuing to have a dominating presence in our community. And today in the 21st century that is becoming a problem. Because of rail activity we have no beach access, we now have difficulty accessing nearby communities and other forms of public transportation such as the ferries and the airport. There is also an increasing amount of nuisance level noise resulting from the trains.

Even more worrisome is the proposal for the pellet terminal in the very heart of our community. Placing this industrial installation

in the heart of what should be our town centre will place an even greater strain on the railway spur, which is already operating somewhat over capacity. This is a backwards step. The development of our community is now hampered by the downtown presence of the CN switchyard. With the development of the Pellet Terminal, there will be an increased industrial presence in the heart of Prince Rupert.

While the Prince Rupert Port Authority say they support tourism in our community they are proposing an installation that will effectively continue to block development of waterfront land for community use. It is time for our community to take ownership of the waterfront and develop some of the most valuable land in town for residential, commercial and recreational use, for the citizens of our community and its visitors.

I find it difficult to believe that with all the empty land around us there is no other place for the Pellet terminal. On the Prince Rupert Port Authority map which Mr. Krusel showed us at their annual general meeting it showed that all of Ridley Island has been designated for other projects. When one of them was the proposed LNG plant I almost laughed. I have been hearing about that proposal for more than 25 years. Surely it makes more sense to establish the pellet plant on Ridley Island now, rather than to keep holding on to land for a project that may never come to fruition.

The meeting on Monday night at the Mary Lester Performing Arts Centre was well attended and the general message from the public was that we want the Pellet terminal in our community; we just don’t want it in the midst of our downtown core. What we heard in return was that they were trying their best to

“mitigate” the problematic issues brought forth by the public. However, mitigating them, only means to make the problems less severe. It does not mean removing them. So as well as not having the use of this prime land, we will have to put up with issues of increased noise, dust, a potential fire and toxic emission hazard as well as a significantly increased problem with the train traffic.

If the pellet terminal is established on the proposed site it seems we will have little chance of ever taking control of an area in our community which could greatly improve our quality of life, providing us with more economic and social opportunities for our residents. We will have to live with the consequences indefinitely. We can simply look forward to more industry in the same area. This is not just a fight about a pellet terminal. Is that what you want? For the future of our community, it is time for the citizens of Prince Rupert to make a decision about what direction they would like to see us go in!

Now is the time to act. Not once they have broken ground and begun building the

pellet terminal and certainly not when some of the concerns that have been expressed by numerous people come to realization and we have to learn to live in an environment that is less than pristine. If we are to live in this beautiful place with the inclement climate we at least deserve clean air and a quiet calm environment so that we can enjoy the beauty around us. It is time to take a stand. Please take a few minutes to show your support for the future of our community. If you wish to make your voice heard even a brief email can have an impact.

◆ RCMP AND FIRE HALL

Council looks at location options for emergency buildings

AT YOUR SERVICE

Continued from page 3 The architects suggested at the meeting that the City could approach the owners of adjacent lots, such as the Masonic Hall, about the possibility of selling. With the extra space, the lots would be big enough for a joint-use building.

The second option presented at Monday’s meeting was the lot right next to the Highliner Inn, where the Longshoremen’s Union building sits.

The pros for this location are that is plenty big enough for a joint-use building to be built, and the site is deep enough for possible underground parking.

But there is a list of problems with this site.

The City’s Public Works manager, Bill Horne, points out that this would be the most difficult and expensive property to develop. It has one of the City’s main sewer pipes running right through the middle of the property. Excavators would have to watch out for gas, water and hydro-lines running though the property as well.

This is the RCMP’s least favourite option, not because of development challenges, but because of security difficulties.

The Highliner Inn would serve as an excellent vantage point to monitor the comings-and-goings of officers at the RCMP headquarters. The RCMP doesn’t like having its buildings at the bottom of hills for exactly this reason. The RCMP is also wary of underground parking which would allow a car bomb to do much more damage to the building.

“We have some concerns about underground parking that might be required, and having a 16-story building beside you. When we’re talking from our security people’s perspective, they don’t like anything that’s taller than we are,” said Inspector Killbery.

The third option presented to council was the

empty lot on the corner of Park Avenue and Biggar Place, next door to the Liquor Warehouse.

This site would be big enough for a joint-use facility to sit on and include enough space for a training yard and secure RCMP parking.

Public Works knows very little about what the condition of the site is underground. This makes it impossible to say how difficult it would be to develop, and like the second option, its not clear that the owners of the property would want to sell it.

The fourth, and last, option is on the corner of McBride Street and Second Avenue, where the Dairy Queen used to be as well as the adjoining empty lot.

If it’s built in a big L-shape that wraps around the credit union, the lot is big enough to for a jointuse building to sit on, it also has the added bonus of actually being for sale.

The con for the site is that it’s a big pit that would either need to be filled or the design would have to include a basement. There is also a public lane with utilities running underneath to be considered.

This is the Fire Department’s least favourite option because of its location on two very busy streets. This would make getting their equipment in and out of the property difficult with so much traffic.

Top - Location option #2: Joint-use building design for the empty lot on the corner on the corner of Park Avenue and Biggar Place.

Bottom - Location option #3: Joint-use building design for Dairy Queen building and adjacent lot located at corner of McBride and 2nd Avenue.

◆ CCAY FUNDING CUT-OFF

Planet Youth center will close due to lack of funding Martina Perry photo

By Martina Perry

Eli Wesley and Justin Barton, who both used Prince Rupert’s Planet Youth program, and Planet Youth worker Christa Barette collect signatures for a petition they plan to send the federal government.

The Northern View Young adults making use of Prince Rupert’s Planet Youth center will be left out in the cold as of Friday, June 29, after the Federal Government decided to cut off funding for Planet Youth programs across the country.

Planet Youth was put in place to assist young people with a variety of things, such as getting them more involved in the community and helping them to find employment. Planet Youth also gave young adults productive and healthy activities to partake in, such as culture camps, plant medicine workshops, music sessions, hiking, and more. The group also fundraised annually to take part in larger provincialwide events such as the Gathering Strength Canoe Journey and Gathering Our Voices Aboriginal Youth Conference.

The Department of Canadian Heritage was funding Prince Rupert’s center, as well as 25 other centers of the same nature in British Columbia. Notice of the funding cut came on June 12, with the federal Conservatives stopping funding to the Cultural Connections for Aboriginal Youth program, a $22-million initiative that supports off-reserve Aboriginal youth in the 10-24 year old bracket, which funded Planet Youth.

“The ages [of people utilizing Planet Youth] in Prince Rupert is 19 to 24, but across Canada the age range is 14 to 24. In most communities it’s the only youth program they have,” said Lucy Heffernan, who works at the Friendship House’s Youth Hub. “There’s a service gap. Once you turn 18, you’re out of the system and out on your own.”

22-year old Eli Wesley said he was upset when he found out Planet Youth would be closing down.

“I don’t see why they’re cutting it. The government says that they’re supporting youth…But

Metlakatla Wilderness Trail opens soon

free.

The trail they made is only wide enough for people to walk along single file but is fairly flat and well put together. But according to Cory Stephens from the Metlakatla Band who has been overseeing the project, the trail will cost about $50,000 a year to maintain which will likely mean year-round jobs for two village residents.

They plan to come up with that money by selling tickets and season passes at a kiosk here in Prince Rupert in the Alan S. Hale photos near future. The Some of the scenery pricing structure to be found along of this hasn’t the Metlakatla Wilbeen worked out derness Trail. yet, but the hope is that the trail will become a popular day-trip for both residents and tourists.

The trail is just long enough that someone could come to Metlakatla on the eight a.m. ferry from Prince Rupert and finish it in time to catch the four p.m. ferry back.

The trail will be open for the public in about three weeks, and the band is hoping to have guided tours available and information about the ecology and Metlakatla culture along the trail (that’s

The Metlakatla Wilderness Trail was given a grand opening ceremony in Metlakatla Village last Friday.

The ceremony was held at the trailhead located at the north end of the village and was attended by representatives of many organizations and businesses. Many were from organizations involved in funding the construction of the trail, such as Ridley Terminals Inc, Metlakatla Development Corporation, the Coast Sustainability Trust, BC Construction Association and Community Futures.

Elders from the village blessed the trail after a short prayer by laying cedar branches at the beginning of the new trail.

They then cut a ribbon made of woven cedar to officially open it.

The trail has been a project three years in the making, and cost about $800,000 to build, much of that contributed by a couple different organizations.

The trail is about 10 kilometers and runs through the forest up the west coast of the Tsimshian Peninsula. After the ceremony was over, the representatives were given the first guided tour of the trail, which the Metlakatla Band and BC Tourism hope still in the works). will draw many.

That October the committee came back with three designs to choose from: One with three red maple leaves with blue bars, one with a single red maple leaf on a white square with red bars and one with both the Union Jack and three fleurs-delis.

On October 29, 1964 the committee made the recommendation that the single maple leaf design be adopted.

But division around the country and in the House of Commons persisted and it wasn’t until 2:15 a.m. on December 15, 1964 that

the House of Commons adopted the flag as it stands today by a vote of 163-78.

The design of the new flag was said to be the idea of Dr. George Stanley, the Dean of Arts at the Royal Military College.

The Canadian National Anthem “O Canada” has long been the anthem sung proudly by Canadians from coast to coast, but it wasn’t until 1980 that the song was officially proclaimed Canada’s National Anthem.

That proclamation came over 100 years after it was first sung on June 24, 1880 at a banquet in the “Pavillon des Patineurs” in Quebec City.

WESTERN CANADA

Rain or shine, residents of Prince Rupert and the north coast are being invited to a picnic in the park on Sunday, July 1, to help celebrate Canada’s 145th birthday.

Organized annually by the volunteers of the Prince Rupert Special Events Society, the Canada Day event is a way to get out and celebrate all things Canada, as well as spend some time with friends and neighbours.

The Canadian Flag Upon confederation in 1867, Canada’s national flag remained the Royal Union Flag, the Union Jack.

And although that was Canada’s official flag, Prime Minister John A. Macdonald took to flying the unique Canadian Red

Ensign as a distinctive flag of Canada.

The Canadian Red Ensign was a red flag with the Union Jack in the top left hand corner and the Coat of Arms of the different provinces in the centre right portion of the flag. Although it had no official designation, it was commonly used on Canadian

DISTRICT OF PORT EDWARD

vessels traveling the seas. It also flew over Parliament buildings until it was replaced by the Union Jack in 1904. On September 5, 1945, following World War II, the Governor General produced an Order in Council that permitted the flying of the flag over federal buildings in Canada and internationally.

In 1964 Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson wanted to make sure Canada had a new flag and presented his proposed flag to the House of Commons.

The flag proved to be quite divisive

A STRONG START…

Local riders in Cops for Cancer

Contributed photo

These five year old kids just ‘graduated’ from the Conrad School Strong Start Program and will begin kindergarten in the fall. Hats off to the grads of the Conrad School String Start.

By Shaun Thomas The Northern View Two Prince Rupert RCMP members will be among the 25 riders participating in this year’s Cops for Cancer Tour de North.

Inspector Bob Killbery, the officer-in-charge of the Prince Rupert detachment, and Cst. Jennifer Collins will join riders from across northern BC as they ride from Prince George to Prince Rupert over seven days from September 14 to 20. Along with 20 officers, there is a medic rider, a retired RCMP rider, two community riders from Prince George and a media rider.

“It is one of those programs that deals with a disease that affects everyone and it’s certainly been supported by the RCMP in the past. It’s also something that my daughter [fellow Prince Rupert rider Jennifer Collins] and I talked about doing together before I retire, and since I’m retiring soon this seemed like the right time,” said Inspector Killbery.

“Everyone knows someone who has been affected by cancer.”

Killbery says so far he’s out riding three times per week up to 70 kilometres so far, with the goal being to get up to four days per week and up to 100 kilometres as the ride gets closer. To help raise funds for the Tour de North, Killbery and his daughter have raffle tickets currently for sale with the prizes of one of three fishing charter trips in 2013 donated by Kevin Wiley, Jeff Beckwith and Rob Morash.

The Tour de North raises awareness and funds for pediatrict cancer research, Camp Goodtimes and other programs that help kids with cancer and is one of sever Cops for Cancer events held around the province.

Drag racing goes back this weekend to where drag racing in the North West began - The 4th Annual Kitimat Hill Climb.

The Race first started in the late 1970s as a Quarter Mile, single run, race. Featuring such cars as “The Rupert Elephant”, “The Wild Canadian” “ The El Camino” and “Lil Gobbler” it turned into a side by side 1/8th mile race in the 80’s and 90’s. Featuring cars such as “The Predator”, “Foolish Delight” ,”Dr Demento” and of course, the car this new race dedicated to, Dave Saunders and “The Purple Pig”.

After a hiatus of a few years, it is now in it’s present form, a 400 foot Drag race up the Haisla

Hill. Now Called “ The Dave Saunders Memorial Hill Climb” it still features all of the great stuff that the Hill Climb was noted for. You sit on a grassy hill overlooking the race track, as cars run up and compete for “ The King of the Hill”.

Unlike other races, you can actually see the beginning and the end of the track all in front of you.

Obituaries

Aleta Estelle Morash June 1, 1934 – June 10, 2012

After a long and courageous battle with cancer, Aleta (Lee) passed away peaceful at the Prince Rupert Regional Hospital with her family by her side.

Lee was a loving, caring and selÁess mother, grandmother and friend, who will be truly missed by all.

In her memory and by request, no service will be held.

However, donations can be made to a charity of your choice, or to the Cancer Foundation.

On behalf of her family, we would like to thank all the staff at the Prince Rupert Regional Hospital and Dr. Belgart for their support and kindness while our mother was under your care.

The Morash and Beil Family

Gary Alan James April 13, 1959 June 18, 2012 Gary passed away suddenly at the age of 53. He grew up in Honeymoon Bay and spent his later years in Surrey, BC. He is survived by his sons Jason (Lindsay) and Scott, father Jerry, mother Kerpaul, brothers David and Rick (Jas), nieces Stephanie and Jessica, precious grandson Mark, and partner and friend Lynn Stuart.

If Gary loved anything more than baseball, hockey, golf, or iced tea, it was his family and friends. He will be missed dearly.

19,951 That’s how many companion animals will need loving, new homes this year.

Will you open your home to one?

Fetch a Friend from the SPCA today!

There will be a celebration of Gary’s life held at the home of Bunt and Cliff at 1:00pm on Sunday, June 24, 2012 at 9470 South Shore Road, Mesachie Lake.

◆ 14TH ANNUAL

National Aboriginal Day celebration held at waterfront

By Martina Perry The Northern View The National Aboriginal Day Planning Committee did it again, hosting another successful Aboriginal Day celebration on Thursday, June 21 at the Rotary Waterfront Park in Prince Rupert.

The event began at noon, with a number of guest speakers starting off the celebration. Guest speakers included Hereditary Chief James Bryant, Prince Rupert Mayor Jack Mussallem, MLA Gary Coons, Port Edward Mayor Dave MacDonald, School District 52 trustee Louisa Sanchez and Superintendent Lynn Hauptman, Aboriginal Education Council co-chair Marlene Clifton and Aboriginal First Nations Kaien Island Elder Murray Smith - who are both members of the planning committee - and Kevin Leech from the Friendship House Association.

Hundreds of people showed up

throughout the beautiful sunny day to observe a number of excellent entertainers. Students from the Aboriginal Headstart program, the Roosevelt drummers and Roosevelt kindergarten classes showed some cultural dances they’ve been learning, as well as the Sugigyet, Haida Eagle and Gitmaxmak’ay dancers displaying their talents. Locals Jaimee Aubee and Charlie Carlick provided some solo entertainment, while groups Longhouse and the Boss Blue Band offered some rock tunes.

Out of town artists also entertained audience members. Sto:lo singer and songwriter Inez Jasper shared many of her contemporary hiphop and R&B songs, with Nuxalk/ Cayauga Nation hip-hop artist JB the First Lady performing twice throughout the day. Both Jasper and the First Lady spoke inspirational words to the audience, sharing their experiences and the importance of

staying true to your cultural.

Communities all over Canada partake in National Aboriginal Day, a day held in recognition of the incomparable contributions Aboriginals have made with the development of Canada, as well as to celebrate the rich and diverse culture.
