Bank stabilization 3

Emil Anderson crews were busy last week stabilizing the bank below the Centennial Park viewing platform on Water Avenue.

The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure partnered with the District of Hope, Emil Anderson, and Kris Tasci of Just Fish Inn to repair the eroded bank, which had been barricaded off since last June.

The District of Hope and Rotary Club are looking after restoring the park’s landscaping to its original state.

All-season resort plan still viable Barrick Gold Corporation continues to collect data

Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard

Barrick Gold Corporation’s preliminary analysis is showing that an allseason resort is a feasible project for the former Giant Mascot nickel mine.

The company is currently looking for an alternative use for the land, which is no longer providing economic benefit to the Hope area.

The company owns surface rights to about 168 hectares of land strad-

dling Highway 1 west of the Fraser River near Klahater Lake, as well as an additional 293 hectares on Zofka Ridge south of Stulkawhits (Texas) Creek. It also has mining rights to 4,856 hectares of land on the mountain.

“We’ve made a lot of progress,” said McKay Edwards, an independent consultant hired by Barrick to conduct the preliminary analysis.

“We’re doing the baseline environmental work and research. It is a com-

plex project because it involves a large area and a variety of environmental zones. We haven’t encountered what we believe to be showstoppers or red flags yet.”

Biologists visited the property in the spring and fall of 2012 to gather data on vegetation and water features, information that would be included in an environmental assessment if the project moves forward. Edwards said snow measurements continue to be encouraging.

“The project is still very much alive and it has good support from Barrick,” he said.

“They need time to consider the different decision points because their main business is gold mining.

They’re not in resort development anywhere in the world and this is the only place they’re investigating it.

Since it’s not their top priority, it tends to slow things down.”

The conceptual plan for the lower parcel of land includes lodging, restaurants, and resort housing. Edwards said the emphasis would be on summer recreation and feature boating, fishing, and hiking. Barrick is considering a gondola to transport visitors from a parking lot off Highway 1 to the ski facility on the upper parcel, similar to Grouse Mountain. Edwards said this would help reduce the resort’s carbon footprint since vehicles would not be travelling up the mountain.

Tyler Mattheis, executive director of AdvantageHOPE, believes the proposed nickel mine redevelopment project is an exciting prospect for Hope.

“It’s progress holds the promise of great opportunity, and reinforces the need for a robust local brand and coordination within our community,” he said.

Pages Bookstore goes global Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard

Pages Bookstore is finding success in a niche market.

The local store has grown its customer base by selling rare books through the online marketplace AbeBooks. Store manager Nathanael Baker said he usually ships several books a week around the world, primarily to the U.S. However, people in Australia, Mexico, Italy, Israel, and the Czech Republic have also found their collectibles at Pages Bookstore.

“It’s pretty cool,” said Baker. “It’s a very specific market because often the buyer is looking for more antique stuff. Because all the books are donated, we can sell them for whatever we want and still make a profit. If someone is ordering a book from (overseas), it is a satisfying feeling to know that this little town has the cheapest book they’re looking for.”

Pages Bookstore has about 1,100 rare books available online, ranging in price from $10 to $300, with most listed around $75. About 80 per cent of book donations to the store are from residents in Hope.

“Our main focus of the store is to

try and keep books out of the dump and try and find some use for them.

I’ll take everything and anything,” said Baker. “I get boxes of books that people don’t want, I dig through them and at the bottom of a box might be a special edition I’ve been looking for that I know is worth something. A lot of times people don’t know what they’re sitting on.”

Pages Bookstore offers a wide range selection of $2 books, everything from geography/travel and science fiction, to thriller/horror, western and children’s literature.

Baker typically sells about 50 books a day during the winter and up to 100 in the summer. He said mystery and romance are the best sellers in Hope.

Books that are not sold at the store are donated to Discover Books Inc. in Abbotsford.

Pages Bookstore is a non-profit bookstore operating under New Page Human Services Society. All proceeds go towards literacy programs in the community. New Page Human Services Society is currently using a provincial job creation partnership grant to help train Baker on creating a new website and promoting online sales.

Fraser sockeye watchers see stock rebuilding Forecast calls for run of nearly 4.8 million salmon

Jeff Nagel Black Press

Salmon watchers are hoping this is the year the troubled Fraser River sockeye run turns the corner on its disastrous collapse four years ago.

If returns come in as forecast, nearly 4.8 million sockeye will make their way up the Fraser this summer.

That’s still well short of the longer term average of 8.6 million for this part of the four-year cycle.

But it would be a huge improvement from 2009, when more than 10 million salmon were expected and just 1.5 million arrived, prompting the federal government to appoint the Cohen Commission into the decline.

“Hopefully we’ll get a run that’s much improved relative to 2009,” said Mike Lapointe, chief

Fishermen on the Fraser River toss freshly caught sockeye into a tote during the 2010 fishery. Officials are cautiously optimistic there will be a commercial fishery this year.

biologist for the Pacific Salmon Commission.

“If the run returns bigger and we’re able to get some rebuilding, that will be very important for the sockeye moving forward.

It will be definitely be more than what we had in the parent year that

produced it.”

Nobody is guaranteeing a commercial fishery yet.

The pre-season forecast shows a one-in-four chance of a Fraser sockeye run below 2.7 million, which would likely rule out commercial fishing,

and a one-in-10 chance it will be as bad as 2009.

But after the Cohen inquiry failed to come up with a single cause or solution to the slide, observers like Lapointe would be happy to continue to see an improving trendline.

“We definitely did better in 2012 than 2008, we did better in 2011 than in 2007. If we can do better again in 2013 from 2009 we’ll have gotten some rebuilding off of those three very low years.”

Last year’s sockeye return, while up, wasn’t enough to allow commercial fishing or sports angling.

There are no concerns about 2014 – next year marks the return of the huge Adams River run, which came back with a stunning return of more than 30 million sockeye in 2010, meaning enough

fish spawned to assure at least a healthy run.

The bulk of this year’s sockeye are summer-run salmon, concentrated in two stocks – the Quesnel and Chilko lake systems.

Also coming back this year are pink salmon, which run on a two-year cycle.

Nearly nine million pinks are forecast to return – below average and down from the last couple of runs of more than 15 million.

Still, Lapointe said there are good odds of some commercial fishing for pinks, which typically fetch around 40 cents a pound, compared to $1.50 to $2 for sockeye.

“It’s going to depend on how many pinks there are and how much interest there is [from the commercial fleet].”

Salmon named official fish emblem The provincial government on Saturday declared Pacific salmon to be B.C.’s official fish emblem, in recognition of its high ecological, cultural and economic significance.

The designation captures all Pacific salmonids – sockeye, chinook, coho, pink and chum, plus ocean-going steelhead and cutthroat trout.

“With the epic migration of Pacific salmon from B.C.’s rivers and streams to the ocean and back, there is no symbol more iconic of British Columbia,” Environment Minister Terry Lake said, adding they’re integral to First Nations and often seen as indicators of overall ecosystem and wildlife health.

Salmon take a place among B.C. official symbols like the spirit bear (official mammal), western red cedar (official tree), Steller’s jay (official bird), jade (official mineral and Pacific dogwood (official floral emblem).

Opinion Published at Hope, Boston Bar, Yale and surrounding area by Black Press

Some realities about oil

It’s easy to be a pipeline opponent these days, especially in B.C. The ham-fisted public relations approach by Enbridge, in attempting to sell its Northern Gateway proposal, has made it easy to oppose oil pipelines. But opponents and the rest of us need to consider some basic facts.

Pipelines are an economic and essential way to send large quantities of commodities like oil a long distance. The alternative means of getting oil to a refining or shipping point are rail or truck. Neither is any safer.

Northern Gateway is proposing a new pipeline along a new route.

Enbridge failed to properly consult and make partnerships with native people who live all along its route. Given the lack of treaties in B.C. and court decisions over the past 30 years, native groups will be able to either tie up the process in court for years, or give it an outright veto.

A refinery in Kitimat, proposed by Black Press owner David Black, would be far better than shipping oil overseas, but it makes more sense with a pipeline to deliver the oil.

The Trans Mountain oil pipeline, which runs through Abbotsford, is now owned by Kinder Morgan. The company has proposed a twinning of its 60-year-old pipeline, and shipping more oil out of Vancouver harbour.

Some pipeline opponents think that by stopping or delaying pipeline projects, they will somehow end Alberta oilsands development or curb global warming.

Not so. The oilsands will continue to produce oil. It will simply be transported by another means.

If they are serious about reducing global warming, a good place to start would be in backing proposed LNG plants for the B.C. north coast. The sooner China can replace its coal-fired power plants with those fired by natural gas, the better it will be for the environment.

However, it’s always easier to be against something than in favour.

– Black Press

Both parties have betrayed us B.C. Views Tom Fletcher There was some public business conducted in the final frantic days of the B.C. legislature session last week, but you likely wouldn’t have heard much about it.

Premier Christy Clark’s skimpy governing agenda was overshadowed by the delivery of an internal investigation report into her government’s ethnic outreach program.

A review by four deputy ministers detailed what reporters already knew from a memo and meeting notes leaked to the NDP. The plan started in the premier’s office, led by Clark’s deputy chief of staff, who resigned as soon as it was made public.

OFFICE HOURS Mon.-Wed. & Fri. 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.

A B.C. Liberal Party employee attended the first meeting, expressly intended to organize events to impress immigrant communities, then harvest the goodwill in the form of contact lists for the coming election campaign.

After 10,000 e-mails were collected and 27 interviews conducted, they revealed a few significant details.

Former multiculturalism minister John Yap knew or should have known that the scheme was being kept secret because it was an inappropriate use of government resources. He won’t be back in cabinet, although Clark said he intends to run for re-election in Richmond-Steveston.

Yap’s executive assistant resigned when the report came out, admitting he helped cover the tracks of political meddling in the hiring of three outreach contractors with sufficient loyalty to the party.

MAIL

Box 1090 Hope, B.C. VOX 1LO

Clark insists she knew nothing of this plan. She tabled the investigation report, and then announced that the B.C. Liberal Party had written a $70,000 cheque to the government to cover the estimated cost of the inappropriate political work done by non-political staff.

Here’s the part taxpayers may not fully appreciate. There are authorized political staffers all over the legislature, in the premier’s office, the opposition leader’s office and two teams of caucus employees who spend much of their time digging up dirt on the other party.

All are paid by you and me.

A line is crossed only when a non-political employee such as a ministry communications director acts on behalf of the party. The main offender in that capacity was one Brian Bonney, whose records suggested he spent half of his time on party work. He quit in February, before the plan was leaked,

Standard The Hope

and the party paid back half of his salary for the 18 months he was on the public payroll.

NDP outrage over this was blunted by another leaked document. This one was from a neverreleased 2010 report by Auditor General John Doyle, which condemned a five-year program of skimming money from NDP constituency office budgets all over the province and using it for political work.

In a nice bit of symmetry, much of the more than $400,000 was spent to put three-time candidate Gabriel Yiu on the NDP caucus payroll. Yiu’s Vancouver-Fraserview candidate page boasts of his ethnic outreach work, which included tirelessly warning B.C.’s Chinese community about the evils of the harmonized sales tax.

In fact, it was the NDP-Yiu operation that inspired a B.C. Liberal copycat plan.

The NDP quietly stopped the budget skimming after Doyle pointed out the blindingly obvious, which is that constituency funds are to serve constituents and are not to be diverted to political organizing.

It was kept under wraps by the secretive Legislative Assembly Management Committee. This is the B.C. Liberal-NDP co-managed trough of undocumented MLA expenses and other questionable payments that Doyle has only recently dragged into the light.

Both of these schemes have the same stink. Both are intentional abuse of taxpayers’ money for the political gain of the dominant parties. There is no moral high ground for either of them.

be endured, such as fake injuries and rumours of game fixing. But by and large this is a superb contest between men (or women) who are in magnificent physical condition and can run more than 12 kilometres during the event. Contrast this to most hockey games we watch.

I could mention rugby, of course, with the roughest, toughest go at each other without mercy, or tennis match-

es than can last for hours in blistering heat. Canadian football is another game that is enjoyable, as is hockey, I gladly admit.

But, sorry Tom, there are other games many of us can name that do compare with your good old hockey game. Too bad you didn’t write a song about them, but unfortunately it’s too late now.

Natural resource sector is a real job creator

I would like to send a message to the government and citizens of B.C.: The real job creator in this province is our natural resources sector.

Forestry, mining, natural gas, and coal, as well as mineral exploration and even oil exploration, are all key to sus-

taining our provincial economy and creating jobs.

The mining sector alone has the potential to create 17,000 new B.C. jobs from more than 30 new mining projects currently being considered. These potential projects, and the good-paying jobs that

Fair trade Easter a step in the right direction We often contribute to the better well-being of other people in the world. This is true with fair trade coffee and is becoming more true with other fair trade consumer goods, such as chocolate.

The purchase of fair trade certified products has important consequences. It allows many producers to receive reasonable prices for their products and numerous workers and little producers to climb out of poverty. It also has positive impacts on the environment.

We believe that about 15,000 slave children works on farms and cocoa plantations in Ivory Coast, which supplies 35 per cent of the world’s cocoa. In western Africa, they are 300,000 children under 14 working on such plantations, doing hard and dangerous labour. Overall, 14 billion workers live from cocoa plantations, several of them earning around $US300 per year for their work and production.

We should all work towards a world where solidarity is at the heart of economic development. A fair trade Easter would be an immense step in this direction.

go with them, are the direct result of a strong B.C. mineral exploration sector, which, in itself, could potentially create another 4,000 good-paying jobs.

Bear in mind that,

in 2011 alone, mining and exploration activity generated $10 billion worth of economic activity in this province and provided $800 million worth of revenue for the government to

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

spend on the services that we, as citizens, need and want. And that’s just from mining and mineral exploration activity!

So before we, as citizens, jump on any NIMBY bandwagons,

we need to stop and think twice about how that could hurt our province economically and in turn put jobs and our children’s future in this province at risk.

Ottawa increases tanker inspections Tom Fletcher Black Press

With one crude oil pipeline to the West Coast undergoing environmental hearings and another waiting to apply, the federal government has announced stricter rules for foreign oil tanker inspections and more coastal flights looking for signs of oil spills.

A new Canadian Coast Guard incident command system, improved hazard markers for shipping, increased surveillance flights and research into the hazards of heavy oil were announced in Vancouver Monday by federal Transport Minister Denis Lebel and Nat-

The government has also tabled new legislation it says will strengthen requirements for pollution prevention and response at oil facilities and introduce new offences and penalties related to pollution.

Foreign tankers will have to be inspected annually, a rule now in place for Canadian vessels, to see if they are equipped with double hulls and other safety features.

An expert panel was also announced to review current standards and recommend further rules. Lebel and Oliver described the program as moving to a “world-class tanker safety system,” the term used by B.C. Premier Christy Clark

UFV students support shuttle bus service Alina Konevski Black Press

University of the Fraser Valley students are hiring a shuttle bus by September, 2013 to transport them between the Chilliwack and Abbotsford campuses. The expectation is that this move will pressure the two cities into finally establishing a permanent inter-city public bus.

Student Union Society members held a referendum in the first week of March, and results were ratified last Friday.

Seventy-five per cent of voters said ‘yes’ to paying an additional $6.75 annually to hire a private bus.

“I’m not surprised,” says SUS president Shane Potter of the high final figure. “We had a lot of positive feedback, and we had a lot of people really supporting it.” This included the hugely supportive campus environmental group Students for Sustainability.

Over 1,000 of the 9,500 eligible SUS members cast their votes, a much higher figure than the “norm” of 600 votes in a referendum, says Potter.

SUS is now signing a Memorandum of Understanding with UFV, which will take the lead in hiring the bus through an open bid.

“Now it’s just a question of allowing the companies to competitively bid for the route, and start up,” says Potter.

UFV will handle the “business side” of the shuttle bus, says Potter.

Although the final structure will depend on the winning bid, SUS and UFV are planning for a 40-passenger bus to complete 10 trips per day, from early morning to late evening.

For now, SUS student fees are due to cover 60 per cent of the estimated $200,000 bus cost. UFV will cover the other 40 per cent. SUS is looking into advertising on the bus to reduce the financial burden.

Although SUS members will fund most of the bus cost, the bus will be freely available to all 16,000 UFV students, as well as to faculty and staff.

The success of establishing the route demonstrates that there is high demand for an inter-city public bus, says Potter. He expects lobbying pressure on the municipal governments to increase as a result.

“This is really just a band-aid solution. We hope this lobbies the municipal governments to have a public route,” says Potter. “I don’t believe this is sustainable. I don’t believe this is something we need to be doing every year. What we do need, is the munici-

palities of Chilliwack and Abbotsford to step up and provide a permanent public option.”

Laying the full cost of inter-campus transport on students is unfair, according to Potter.

“It shouldn’t be on the backs of the university and the students to provide this route. We need a public route.”

The cities of Chilliwack and Abbotsford have had an inter-city public bus service in the pipeline for years.

The UFV shuttle bus announcement comes shortly after Greyhound, the only mass transit service between the two cities, cut its service by 50 per cent on the route.

Confiscating drivers’ cell phones rejected Tom Fletcher Black Press

Talking and texting behind the wheel continues to be a major road safety problem, but Attorney General Shirley Bond has rejected raising fines or taking away mobile phones to deal with the problem.

The tough new measures were suggested earlier this month by

Victoria Police Chief Jamie Graham, after an enforcement blitz by B.C. police forces resulted in about 6,000 tickets being issued in February. Graham, chair of the B.C. Association of Police Chiefs’ traffic safety committee, suggested police should also have the authority to seize a phone for 24 hours for a first offence, and for several days for repeat offences. Graham

also referred to $350 fines available for other traffic safety violations. The current fine for mobile phone use while driving is $167.

“I’m certainly not considering the seizure of cell phones,” Bond said last week. “I am concerned, though, that we continue to see distracted driving in the province.”

Bond said taking away cell phones would create

privacy problems, and she is also not convinced that increasing fines would have the desired effect.

“It’s not unlike seat belts,” Bond said. “It took a long time for people in our province to make that a normal habit.”

B.C. imposed new Motor Vehicle Act regulations against using handheld mobile devices in January 2010.

Police continue to issue tickets to thousands of B.C. drivers for using hand-held devices.

Yap concealed ethnic outreach plan

Filming on location

Tom Fletcher Black Press

A review of the B.C. Liberal government’s ethnic outreach strategy has found two “serious breaches” of public service standard of conduct, and evidence that former cabinet minister John Yap was aware of attempts to conceal improper use of government resources.

The report identifies former ministry communications director Brian Bonney as spending about half of his work time on partisan activities.

Bonney was paid $124,000 over 18 months, when a group of premier’s office staff and other government employees developed a plan to hire three ethnic outreach contractors.

A September 2012 strategy memo leaked to the NDP detailed a plan to organize ethnic-themed events, apologies for historic wrongs such as the head tax on Chinese immigrants, and efforts to compile lists of ethnic community members for use by the B.C. Liberal Party in the coming election campaign.

Only one contractor began work, and was paid $6,800 before the program was terminated. Both Bonney’s conduct and the hiring of the contractor with a political role are what the report identifies as “serious breaches” of the oath taken by all government employees.

Premier Christy Clark tabled the

report by three deputy ministers in the legislature Thursday, vowing to take action on all its recommendations. Clark told reporters the B.C. Liberal Party has paid $70,000 to the government, roughly half of Bonney’s salary plus the amount paid to the contractor.

Clark’s deputy chief of staff Kim Haakstad, who organized meetings and distributed the strategy memo in September 2012, has already resigned.

The investigation reviewed 10,000 emails from personal and government accounts, and interviewed 27 people over two weeks.

One of the emails is to Yap and Bonney from Yap’s executive assistant, Mike Lee, referring to the hiring of three contractors.

“It is absolutely critical that we do not leave any evidence in us helping them through this application,” Lee wrote on his personal email account, to the personal accounts of the others.

Yap replied: “I appreciate each of your efforts with the three [requests for qualifications]. Great job. Let’s now hope for the best.”

Clark said Yap will not be reappointed to cabinet “at this time.” and another staff member, later identified as Lee, has resigned. Bonney left the public service in February, days before the strategy document and minutes of a meeting called by Haakstad were leaked to the NDP opposition.

Sports Twists and turns in first round playoff series

Eric Welsh Black Press

If games one and two of Chilliwack’s first round playoff series taught us anything about how games three, four and maybe five will go, it’s that nothing is predictable.

The Chiefs lost 3-1 in game one Friday, with Spruce Kings goalie Kirk Thompson stopping 43 of 44 shots?

OK, maybe you saw that coming.

But did you or anyone else see the Chiefs beating Prince George 10-1 in the Saturday night rematch? That’s not a misprint. 10-1.

“I thought we had a good game in the loss, and we just didn’t get the bounces,” said Trevor Hills, who scored three of Chilliwack’s goals. “But we stepped it up another notch and played real well from the net out.”

Hills and company learned 3:03 into Saturday’s game that Thompson is not some invincible goaltending beast.

Austin Plevy proved that when he beat the stopper with an unscreened wrister from the left faceoff dot. Phil Zielonka did the same a minute later, blowing a shot past Thompson from the high slot.

“It definitely showed he was human like everyone else, especially when he was unbelievable the night before,” Hills said. “It was good to get some pucks past him and get him out of the net.”

Thompson was pulled 13:36 into period two after giving up five goals on 22 shots, his aura of invincibility shattered.

Liam McLeod came on in relief and didn’t fare any better.

By the end of the night, Hills had three, Zielonka had two and five Chiefs (Plevy, Josh Hansen, Tanner Burns, Alex Perron-Fontaine and Ryan Donohoe) had singles in a record setting offensive explosion.

Chilliwack tied the franchise mark for goals in a playoff game, and set a franchise record for most lopsided playoff win.

“This was a lot of fun, but we don’t want to get too high,”

JENNA HAUCK / BLACK PRESS

Brodyn Nielsen of the Chilliwack Chiefs toughs it out with Mitch Eden of the Prince George Spruce Kings during Friday night’s game at Prospera Centre.

Hills said. “It’s certainly good for our confidence, which is good for us going forward.”

After beating Prince George 5-3 Monday at the Prince George Coliseum, the Chiefs lead the best-of-five series 2-1.

Game four was played after The Standard press deadlines.

The Chiefs got off to the best start possible Monday, scoring just 20 seconds in.

On the opening shift, Philip Zielonka pounced on a loose puck in front of the Prince George cage and punched it

past Thompson for his third of the series.

Chilliwack doubled the lead four minutes later on a greasy goal by Josh Hansen. Austin Plevy fired a bullet from the right faceoff circle, and Hansen had the puck hit him before flopping into the Spruce King net.

Chilliwack’s third goal was a pretty effort from Zielonka, who scored at 9:31. The 20-year-old came out from behind the net and showed great patience, waiting, waiting and

waiting for roofing the puck over Thompson.

Shots on goal in period one favoured Chilliwack 13-4, and they added to their lead just 46 seconds into period two.

Zielonka picked up another point, assisting on a goal by linemate Mathieu Tibbett. Tibbett took the feed and shoveled the puck past Thompson for his second of the series.

The Spruce Kings got one back late in the second period when Coltyn Hansen scored

on a five-on-three power play, but the Chiefs led 4-1 heading to the final frame.

They led 5-1 just 1:02 into period three after a goal by Luke Esposito. The Connecticut player pounced on a PG turnover, came in on Thompson and deked to the forehand, sliding the puck into the cage for his first of the playoffs.

The Spruce Kings got that back at 2:47 on a goal by captain Trevor Esau, who beat Chiefs keeper Mitch Gillam clean on a post-and-in

slapshot from the point.

They got another at 9:43.

Jake Lebrun attacked Cooper Rush on a one-on-one rush, turning the big blueliner inside out. He finished with a low glove-side shot, getting the Spruce Kings within two.

With Thompson pulled for the extra attacker and Trevor Hills in the penalty boxing for roughing, Prince George ended the game with a six-onfour advantage. But the Chiefs held tight, getting to the final whistle unscathed.

OBITUARIES

In Memory of March 20, 2005 Remembrance is a golden chain Death tries to break, but all in vain; To have, to love, and then to part, Is the greatest sorrow of one’s heart.

IN MEMORIAM

FAMILY ANNOUNCEMENTS

The family sadly announces the passing of Juanita (Nita) McAllister on Saturday, March 9, 2013 at the Fraser Canyon Hospital in Hope. She passed away peacefully at the age of 72 with her children by her side.

Nita was predeceased by her father Art Cooper, her husband Adrian, and brothers Gerry and Grant Cooper. She is survived by her mother Alice McLaren, daughters; Darlene, Desiree and Sandra and her sons; Jarrett, Gerry and Leslie, as well as 17 grandchildren.

Nita was born in New Denver, BC on August 25, 1940 and has resided in Hope for more than 40 years. She was an active member of the Eagles Ladies Auxiliary, as well as the Ladies Legion Auxiliary. She enjoyed oil painting, crafting, casinos and shopping.

The family wishes to thank the Fraser Canyon Hospital, the Hope Hospice Society and most importantly Mark, Wanda and the rest of the staff at Riverside Manor, who were like a second family to her.

A Celebration of Nita’s Life and Tea will be held at 2:00 pm on Saturday, April 6, 2013 at the Eagle’s Hall, 386 Fort Street, Hope, BC. Condolences may be sent to chapelofhope@martinbros.info
