How can wildfires be prevented and what Burns Lakers need to know

Community of volunteers Jim McBride has seen many firefighters walk in and out of the doors to his department in his 15 years on the job as part of the Burns Lake Fire and Rescue department.

STEVEN MAISEY As the temperature begins to heat up and the weather starts to dry up, concern over the ignition of wildfires is sure to ratchet up in the Burns Lake area.

Despite the damp and cool weather the area has experienced so far this spring, already there have been five fires in the Lakes District area and one fire in the Morice district, all six of which have been human-caused fires.

In 2013, the Lakes District experienced 35 forest fires, of which 14 were caused by human carelessness.

As of noon on June 19, the wildfire danger rating for Burns Lake was moderate, but the surrounding areas of the community, including Houston have a rating of high.

The areas with a high rating also include areas just south of Tchesinkut Lake.

The wildfire danger rating is used to express a number of factors that affect the fire environment, and include, ease of ignition and difficulty of control.

“Each situation is different and depends on many other factors, such as fuel type, terrain, slope and weather conditions,” Olivia Pojar, Communications Specialist for the wildfire management branch said. ...see WILDFIRES ▼ P2

Campers reminded to never leave fire unattended WILDFIRES from t P1 The Northwest Fire Centre (NWFC) is responsible for forest fire protection for the western portion of the Northern Interior Forest Region and the northern portion of the Coastal Forest Region.

The area includes, the Forest Districts of Kalum, Skeena-Stikine, the North Coast and Nadina, and covers a quarter of B.C. from the coast to just west of Endako and from the Yukon boarder to Tweedsmuir Park, approximately 25 million hectares in size.

The major communities in the NWFC region are Burns Lake, Houston, Smithers, Terrace, Kitimat, Prince Rupert and Dease Lake, and the NWFC responds to an average of 160 fires, which burn approximately

18,000 hectares in the area each year.

One of the major concerns for the Nadina Forest District is the frequency of abandoned campfires.

Last year there were 32 abandoned campfires in the Nadina district and so far this year there have a been numerous campfires that have been left burning unattended as well.

A person that leaves a campfire unattended for any length of time can be fined up to $345 and anyone whose fire cause a wildfire can be subjected to a fine of $100,000 and be jailed for up to a year, and hit with the costs associated with fighting the fire and the damages.

“The NWFC encourages campers to always ensure that a fire is cool to the touch before leaving the area for any length of time, or going to bed at

night,” Pojar said, “all campfires should be surrounded by a fuelfree area and either eight litres of water or a readily available shovel.”

Along with human caused wildfires, another primary cause of wildfires is lightning.

Lightning is the cause of starting approximately 50 per cent of all B.C. forest fires.

For the NWFC, weather is the predominant controlling factor when it comes to the frequency and severity of fires.

Cool, damp fires yield few fires, and those that do start can be contained and brought under control easier, while dry, hot weather increases wildfire danger.

Typically the severity of wild-

fire season depends on the combination of factors, such as terrain type, snow pack, lightning strikes, levels of drought and forest floor moisture content.

“The NWFC maintains its level of preparedness by studying forecasts that allow for a good idea of what to expect in the short-term,” Pojar said. “for long-term preparedness, forecasts have a diminished level of reliability.”

As far as fighting wildfires is concerned, Burns Lake has one unit crew consisting of 20 members.

There are four initial attack crews, each consisting of three crew members located in Burns Lake and Houston, and in addi-

Steven Maisey Pacific Booker Minerals (PBM) has taken the next step in their attempts to break ground on the Morrison Mine project.

The proposed mine, which would be a conventional, open pit mine operating near Morrison Lake, 35 km north of the Village of Granisle, had its attempts at securing an environmental assessment certificate denied in Oct. 2012.

However, a ruling in December 2013 by the B.C. Supreme Court overturned the Environmental Assessment Office's original ruling due to the fact that PBM didn't receive adequate 'procedural fairness' because they were not provided with the opportunity to respond to the final recommendation from the executive director.

Now, PBM has taken the necessary next steps afforded them in their attempts to obtain an environmental assessment certificate.

The application was remitted to the Minister of Environment and Minister of Energy, Mines and Natural Gas for reconsideration.

The Northern Gateway issue

A brief history of teacher demands

Last week, in a statement, that should not have come as a surprise, the federal government endorsed the 209 conditions set forth by the joint review panel, effectively approving Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline project.

British Columbians were quick to voice their displeasure with the federal governments decision, with statements from various politicians speaking out against the pipeline and a protest was organized in downtown Vancouver later that evening.

A group of First Nations, including the Wet’suwet’en First Nation, the Union of B.C. Chiefs, the B.C. Assembly of First Nations and the First Nations Summit, among over 20 others will immediately go to court to pursue all lawful means to stop the pipeline project from being built.

Enbridge must still meet the 209 conditions for approval the joint review panel put forward, as well meet the five conditions from the B.C. government.

Those five conditions include, successful completion of the environmental review process, meaning they would need recommendation from the National Energy Board to proceed, world leading oil spill response, prevention and recovery systems, world leading practices for land oil spill prevention, response and recovery systems, meet legal requirements regarding aboriginal land and treaty rights and that B.C. receives a fair share of the fiscal and economical benefits.

According the Enbridge, the 1177 kilometre pipeline that will carry 525,000 barrels of diluted bitumen per day from Alberta, west to Kitimat will have enormous benefits to B.C., including the creation of 3000 jobs during construction, generate $1.2 billion in tax revenue over the next 30 years and contribute $300 billion to Canada’s gross domestic product (GDP).

Do these benefits offset concerns about environmental protection? No. Will the jobs created benefit the communities in Northern B.C.?

The problem with these stated benefits is that the company that Enbridge contracts to build the pipeline will hire workers with the job and skills training.

This could mean the hiring of workers from outside the region that would come in to Burns Lake and the related communities to work, then once the work is done they would leave.

Yes, this benefits B.C., but it doesn’t benefit the people living in the communities with the most at risk.

The Lakes District is home to some of the most beautiful fishing lakes, and the community is being asked to potentially sacrifice the well being of those lakes with little benefits to our communities.

It’s the province that stands to benefit from the construction of the pipeline.

The British Petroleum oil spill of 2010 has caused tremendous harm to the marine and wildlife habitats and the fishing and tourism industries near the Gulf of Mexico, specifically in Louisiana and Florida.

While only a remote possibility, an oil spill would kill the vibrant fishing community in the area.

Unfortunately, oil is the fuel source that is dependant upon.

It is depended upon to fill up the boats that are used to fish and the trucks that are used to haul those boats.

Until an alternative fuel source can be substituted, it seems that the dependency on oil will lead to the building of bitumen pipelines and to the possible destruction of our environment.

CMCA AUDITED

A few things have changed since the last allout teacher strike in B.C. That was just two years ago, when the B.C. Teachers’ Federation was coming off its secondever voluntary agreement with a 16% raise over five years and what the union termed an “enhanced” signing bonus of $4,000. Even with special teacher-only top-ups, BCTF members almost rejected the last of the government’s big-spending pre-Olympic labour deals signed in 2006.

By 2012, outraged teachers were back on the legislature lawn, howling for another 16%, with backup vocals provided as usual by HEU, CUPE, BCGEU and other public sector unions that settled for less.

Teachers had just sailed through a crippling global recession with a series of raises, but were oblivious

to all that.

Last week the protest venue switched to Vancouver, where both the crowd and the demands looked a bit thinner. The signing bonus target is up to $5,000, but the raise is a mere 8% over five years (compounded, for those who passed math), plus another huge basket of cash disguised as benefit improvements and so forth. Government negotiators put their total compensation demand at 14.5 per cent.

One obvious dodge: they want the bottom two steps of the teacher salary grid dropped.

That’s simply a raise for entry-level teachers. Admittedly those are rare creatures these days with shrinking enrolment and ironclad seniority rules that allow retired teachers to monopolize substitute work.

Something else that’s changed since 2012 is that the government has granted the BCTF’s wish to bargain directly with the province. The education ministry executed a takeover of the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association after last year’s election, and installed veteran industrial union negotiator Peter Cameron. He’s backed up by long-time labour specialist Lee Doney, whose task is to keep the teacher deal within Treasury Board limits that have defined all other public sector union settlements.

Doney made it clear last week that no mediator is going to come in and “split the baby” as long as the BCTF position is so far beyond the current compensation framework.

Despite constant union complaints of low wages and deteriorating working conditions in B.C. schools, education grads remain lined up around the block hoping to get in. Why is that?

For those who have been exposed to life outside school for a while, it’s fairly simple. The job market out here in the real world is tough. And here’s how the real world evaluates a teaching job.

Start with 189 working days, each nine hours long as per the accepted definition, and the topheavy seniority list that places the average teacher salary at around $72,000 a year. That works out to $42.32 an hour, plus a suite of benefits that most private sector employees can only dream about, starting with three months of prime-time vacation.

I am occasionally lectured by teachers that the job goes far beyond five hours in the classroom and an additional four hours a day preparing and marking. They throw out different estimates, variously defined. Alas, it’s a salaried job, and we salaried employees in the real world don’t waste a lot of time counting hours. Here’s the work, here’s the deadline, here’s the pay.

Take it or leave it.

Consider another union demand that seems to be just another thinly disguised raise. The BCTF wants a large increase in preparation time for elementary school. There are no duties being added here. For this one item, government negotiators calculate the cost to taxpayers at $86.2 million every year by the fifth year of the BCTF proposal.

Public education Preparing to fight Enbridge

Editor: Open letter to Mr. Rustad I am writing to ask you to urge Ms. Clark to order her negotiating team to bargain in good faith with the teachers. It is time for fair funding of public education - time for kids to have their needs met in our public schools and time to show respect for the work done by 40,000 teachers in our province.

I am upset that the funding for independent schools has increased while we have seen significant decreases in per student funding in the public school system. Please represent the large portion of your constituency that supports teachers and speak on our behalf.

Sincerely, Paula Van Tine, Special Education teacher, Decker Lake Elementary

From Kitimat to Victoria, opponents are preparing to fight the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline proposal, after it was given federal approval.

A group of B.C. aboriginal communities issued a statement Tuesday vowing to go to court to protect their aboriginal title and rights on the land affected by the twin pipeline and tanker port for diluted bitumen on Douglas Channel.

Aboriginal opponents in the North Coast region include the Haida, Gitgaat, Heiltsuk and Haisla First Nations, as well as communities in the B.C. Interior.

Editor: As many of you know, I am the person who stood up Enbridge’s new Incident Management System after the Michigan spill. I know a lot about incident management generally, and at Enbridge in particular. Also, I am a Metis of Algonquin descent from the Ottawa Valley. Environmental management, Enbridge, and Indigenous communities profoundly matter to me. Accordingly, in light of Prime Minister Harper’s approval of the Northern Gateway project, I have a comment to make.

Rigorous construction standards and management of any pipeline is a must. The assumption that there will be failures is also a must. A standing capacity to address major issues is a must.

More importantly, my experience tells me that the only way for the Northern Gateway to be a safe pipeline is for there to be transparency, trust, cooperation and investment among all stakeholders. Chief

she will continue to work to build on the 26 equity agreements the company has reached with aboriginal communities along the proposed pipeline route.

Kitimat Mayor Joanne Monaghan said her council has made its opposition clear, after an April community vote that came down opposed to the project.

“I think most of the councillors are of the opinion that they really don’t want to see bitumen going down the channel,” Monaghan said. “They would rather have it refined and have a product that’s refined going down the channel.”

B.C. NDP leader John Horgan said he wants resource development that creates jobs in B.C., particularly for aboriginal communities. Horgan said the B.C. Liberal government gave up its opportunity to oppose Northern Gateway.

B.C. Environment Minister Mary Polak rejected that claim, saying the province gave a clear “no” in its final submission to the federal review panel.

Discussions with Alberta, Enbridge and oil producers continue to see if B.C.’s conditions for land and ocean protection as well as a “fair share” of benefits for B.C. can be met, Polak said.

Plans for $10 billion refinery

"Our pre-feasibility study has begun, which will analyze the economic, social and environmental aspects of the refinery and help to determine the prospective site and expect to launch our feasibility and regulatory process in the next nine to 12 months."

The refinery is being designed to be built in modules, each processing 200,000 barrels of bitumen per day. The bitumen would be converted into gasoline, diesel, kerosene and other products. When all of the project modules are complete, the facility will process up to 1,000,000 barrels per day, starting with the first phase of 200,000 barrels per day.

I had a wonderful father’s Day at the Landing

Last week was special with Father’s Day. Mother’s had their day and now father’s can have their day. We didn’t have either when we were growing up.

Our parents were very special to us though.

The whole family gathered at Rick and Marie Hunters for a family day celebration for Father’s Day. What a fun time it was, lots of children having fun. Their lawn is just special for a picnic.

Then lots of wonderful food to close off such a good time. I felt so very proud of my whole family as to me they are special. What more could a person ask for, it’s a

blessing.

Before coming back to town my daughter Marie took me down to the Landing to visit our old home. What wonderful memories there are. The house was just as we left it, everything is its place. It’s still a lovely warm home. It was built in 1918 so it will soon hit the 100 year mark.

If these walls could talk what wonderful stories they could tell. Lots of fun times and some sad times but all in all what memories that are so precious. Our family of four look back to those growing up years with such fond memories. I love you all. Now a whole younger generation has taken over where Jo and I left off. It all started over 60 years ago.

Big boats So many fancy boats going by. Some are very large for ocean fishing I would guess. But they are very costly not only to buy but to operate as well. It’s hard to compare with the boats we used to

fish with now many years ago.

Folks are reporting good trout catches this week and quite a good size too. Makes it worth while.

I look back on my fishing years at Francois Lake they were special times. I made my home on the lake for over 70 years. They were wonderful years who could ask for a better place to spend your life.

My room at the Tweedsmuir House over looks Burns Lake as well I can see the mountains to the west. No matter what those memories of my life on such a beautiful lake will never leave me.

Half my growing up years in the Eyehill Creek place in Saskatchewan. It was such an interesting place to grow up riding and working. Horses were our lifeblood. They were fun times too. Then moving to the Lakes District to finish my growing up, what more could I ask for. Then such a

wonderful wife and family and so many close friends that have been so special to me.

We are very fortunate in our Lakes District to have as many retirement homes for seniors. Then the Pines for folks unable to care for themselves and a new modern hospital almost ready, yes we are fortunate. All this is a shot in the arm for Burns Lake.

Little story It started out bad but ended up well enough.

This was bout 40 years ago but it came into my mind about a week ago.

Paddy Carrol and his wife were showing movies at the hall on Thursday nights. They were very popular and well attended. Our mom and dad never missed a show. We had at the time an International pickup and this one evening she walked down from the hall with the news the pickup had been stolen. She had left the keys in the ignition so it was good pickings.

It’s a nasty feeling when

this happens. The police were notified to watch the roads. One good thing the tank was almost empty. We phoned all over that night and next morning, no luck. Then things began to happen and a message over the phone went with the news your pickup is just past the rock cuts at the head of the lake.

It’s in a dangerous place as it’s just in the balance of going over the bank and is tied up in a barbed wire fence with the wire wrapped around the front wheels and it’s just on the balance of going over the bank so be careful how you pull it out.

So my wife Jo and I took off with rope and tools in my car. I had a heavy hitch on the car and it was a big heavy car too. So we roped the pickup to the car hitch after I had cut a length of wire off the pickup front wheels, what a job this was. I had brought along a five gallon of gas. I was afraid to start the mo-

tor due to the dangerous position the truck was in.

Jo started to pull while I stood on the running board and out the pickup came, no harm done, motor ran well. It was a prayer answered no fooling. To this day I could never tell who had stolen the pickup.

It was the fence that saved the truck from going over the banks and of course the empty gas tank also helped us find the truck. Nobody really knows the empty feeling you have when your vehicle is stolen until it happens to you.

Nice surprise Just had the nicest surprise this afternoon when one of my very old-time friends from the Francois Lake days stop in for a visit. Everett Hickey, whose family were pioneer families of the landing. When we first came to Francois lake his father, Everett Sr., had the mail run to Noralee.

This took in Colleymount and Trout Creek (Clemretta). The fam-

ily lived just west of the landing. Everett Jr. lives in Prince George with his family but we always have such a nice visit talking about the old days.

Music On Wednesday evening we had the Decker Lake Mennonite choir visit us with a hymn sing and message. The residents of the Tweedsmuir House always enjoy these evenings. Most all of the hymns sings are ones we were brought up with many years ago.

Thanks for coming out.

In a day or so we will have the two longest days of the year. June 21 and 22 then we start going back again and the days will start to get shorter.

As the old saying goes time flies and I guess it’s true.

Best I close out now for another week. Take care and always remember God loves you and so do I. If you can’t say anything good about someone don’t say anything at all.

Canada Day View Point

By Roland & Lisa Cataford

Jesus hates death more than all of us put together. The whole reason Jesus came to earth was to abolish death and bring life and immortality to light through the gospel.

What is the gospel?

It is the good news that Jesus has conquered death and its power over each of us, by dying for our sins, so that death has no right to hold the one who receives him as savior.

The very one our society mocks, ignores, and has nothing but contempt for – is in reality the only Savior of the world, the only Hope for mankind, the only avenue to eternal life.

No wonder the bible calls us to repent, that is, turn around from ignoring Jesus, from giving him our back and not our face; turn from

our lesser and temporary preoccupations, to the one who alone grants eternal life; turn from thinking sinful living doesn’t matter, to the one who alone can forgive, cleanse and bestow new life.

Jesus is the resurrection and the rife, and he proved it. He entered earth announced by heaven. He left earth with the declaration that his next appearance will be to reign until all enemies are under his feet. “The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.”

What a great reminder as we celebrate Canada Day, otherwise and better named, Dominion Day. Why Dominion Day? Our founding fathers based it on Psalm 72: “He (Jesus) shall have dominion from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth … His name shall endure forever and all nations shall call him blessed.”

Why? Because he is the death of death and evil.

Life is not a game. It is a choice for eternity.

“O death, where is your sting? O grave, where is your victory? Let us thank God who has given us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Thank you!

The LDSS Interact Club would like to thank the community for their unending support this past year.

Human Interest

Featuring the spirit of the local people Running the Burns Lake Fire Department Burns Lake’s fire chief speaks on the running the fire department in Burns Lake Steven Maisey Jim McBride has seen many firefighters walk in and out of the doors to his department in his 15 years on the job as part of the Burns Lake Fire and Rescue department.

McBride is Burns Lake's Fire Chief, among other job titles he holds with his job working for the municipality.

His department responds to various incidents, such as structural, wild land and vehicle fires, water and ice rescues, vehicle extrications, land search and rescues, carbon monoxide calls, fire alarm calls, as well as medical aid calls and a variety of others.

He has, including himself, enough safety equipment and the budget to staff up to 28 firefighters.

The catch, besides himself, his department is based entirely off of volunteer work from people in the community.

Volunteer fire departments are nothing new to communities in Northern B.C. where the vast majority of the fire departments work off of the commitment and hard work of its volunteers.

McBride knows of four, what he calls "career fire departments" in Northern B.C. the rest of the departments work of off volunteers.

The towns of Prince George, Kitimat, Terrace and Prince Rupert are the communities which have career fire departments.

With most departments being volunteer based it can leave many communities at a disadvantage when it comes to maintaining a standard of excellence, especially when it comes to education and training individuals to be firefighters.

All of the volunteers hold down everyday jobs, and the commitment to those jobs,

along with their families can make getting new volunteers, and current volunteers, up to speed difficult.

However, McBride notes that he feels that the Burns Lake department is very fortunate when it comes to the commitment to the people on his roster.

"I'm very fortunate, and so is this community, to have the number of personal and the dedication of the personal that are involved.

I've got a great crew next door from my deputy all the way down," McBride said.

His department is dedicated and takes the training to heart.

It starts with indoctrinating each individual telling him or her what the department expects from each person, as well as letting them know what the department has to offer.

"They're great," McBride said, of his firefighters, "it's the dedication for lack of a better word, and the enthusiasm for looking out for their neighbours."

Training is a three part process.

There’s basic training, which consists of eight to nine specific subjects, from safety, to ventilation, to learning about their protective equipment and to learning how to lay hoses, operate nozzles and carry water.

Basic training takes approximately nine months to complete, and once an individual has completed basic training they move on to levels one and two training, which goes more in depth on the subjects covered in basic training and takes an additional four years.

Currently, there are six members of the Burns Lake department that are completing their level two training.

Throughout training, McBride stresses that safety is the primary focus for his firefighters.

"I can't afford to, nor can this community afford to have an injured firefighter," McBride said, "these people have job commitments, family commitments so my senior staff and I we are very cognizant of safety and not putting any of our members in harms way."

A volunteer will not be given a pager to respond to various calls until McBride and his senior training staff are comfortable with the education level of the certain individual.

Submitted photo

Jim McBride, pictured front row centre, and the rest of the volunteers of the Burns Lake Fire Department. Burns Lake is one of a number of communities in Northern B.C. whose fire department is made up of volunteers.

That comfort level is hard to reach sometimes, specifically due to the high turnover rate that can be inflicted on volunteer based departments.

McBride has been fortunate, that he’s been able to steadily fill 25-26 positions, out of 28, on his roster the past four or five years, and retain many of the volunteers.

That is in stark contrast when he was down to 17 members.

"I don't have the magic formula, training and retention is a provincial wide and country wide problem," McBride said, "I mean it's not everyone’s cup of tea to put themselves in harms way."

No matter what his roster numbers are, though, McBride's primary concern is always for the safety of his members.

He has been in the fire service industry for 38 years now, and he has yet to have to make the phone call home and explain that someone's husband or wife, is in the hospital.

"Unfortunately accidents do happen and when you research how that accident happened or how this firefighter got injury you go back onto his training. Was he properly trained was she authorized to be in that position?"

"If something should ever happen to one our firefighters that's the questions that's going to be asked of me and our senior staff, but primarily of me. The buck stops at this desk I'm the one who's ultimately in charge," McBride said.

It all comes down to his senior staff.

"I have to compliment my senior staff because they recognize that they work in an industry where safety is first and foremost," McBride said, "we have an educational program run by one of my senior captains, Jason Blackwell. Training has always be a hard subject and Jason has undertaken that along with all my senior firefighters and deputy captains."

Ronald McDonald House BC is growing. ®

Happy hours and minimum pricing British Columbia officially opened the door to happy hours and implemented minimum drink pricing, offering flexibility for businesses and their customers while preserving health and public safety.

Consistent with the views heard from both industry and health advocates during the Liquor Policy Review, B.C.'s minimum drink prices are in place to encourage responsible consumption and are based on ounces of alcohol sold at licensed establishments. The minimum price an establishment can charge is $3 for a drink - which, for example, would buy a single

ounce cocktail, a five ounce glass of wine or 12 ounce sleeve of beer or cider.

Allowing licensees, such as pubs, restaurants and lounges, to alter their liquor prices throughout the course of the day is a pocket-book friendly change for British Columbians that will help the industry attract customers at times when business may typically be slow.

Additional changes stemming from the Liquor Policy Review also came into effect.

Food-primary establishments must continue to offer a full menu, but if patrons

simply wish to order drinks they are not obligated to order food as well. Also, customers can now move freely with their beverage from one adjoining licensed area to another, such as from a pub to an adjoining restaurant - a common-sense change from the previous rules, which required staff to carry customers' drinks for them.

Licensees may now transfer small amounts of liquor between similar types of establishments. For instance, if a pub is experiencing a shortage of a specific liquor product, a nearby restaurant can transfer liquor to it.

Clark and Rustad, the MLA for Nechako Lakes and the Minister of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation, signed the memorandum at an event hosted by the First Nations Summit.

They were joined by representatives of the Summit, B.C. Assembly of First Nations, the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs, Metis Nation of British Columbia, as well as members of the Minister of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation's Advisory Council on Aboriginal Women (MACAW) and representatives of First Nations and aboriginal organizations throughout B.C. This memorandum of understanding coupled with the work of the MACAW ties into the provincial government's commitment to create a long term solution for violence against all women.

The MACAW set up from the 'Collaboration to end Violence: National Aboriginal Women's forum' in June 2011, with the expectation that the council would provide advice to the provincial government on how to improve the quality of life for aboriginal women in B.C. The hope is to ensure that vulnerable women have the support they need to prevent and escape from violent situations, along with having solutions for women who have been victims of violent attacks to recover.

"This memorandum of understanding proves that collaboration and partnership is the right path towards a safer future for aboriginal women and girls," Rustad said.

The issue of violence against women, and in particular aboriginal women is something that the provincial government continues to tackle.

It recently provided $400,000 to the 'Giving Voice' initiative, which takes aim at helping aboriginal communities speak out and

take action on this issue of violence against women.

The $400,000 was on top of $120,000 giving to the project in 2013/2014.

Some may argue that not enough is being done, a shuttle bus for remote communities along Hwy. 16, a recommendation at the 2006 Highway of Tears symposium strongly recommended be implemented, has yet to come to fruition.

It was an issue that again was brought to light this April during MLA for the North coast Jen Rice toured across Hwy. 16 to raise awareness about the need for such transportation in those communities.

"We must support any and all measures designed to protect indigenous women and girls from abuse, violence and exploitation," Grand Chief Stewart Phillip, President of the Union of B.C. Chiefs, said.

Along with the money provided to the 'Giving Voice' initiative, the provincial government has also provided a three-year plan in regard to domestic violence.

In Feb. 2014, the Provincial Office of Domestic Violence release the Provincial Violence Domestic Plan, which calls for $5.5 million to be spent over a three year period.

Of the $5.5 million, $2 million is earmarked to develop and deliver programs, specifically for aboriginal women, men and children affected by domestic violence.

"It is unacceptable that in this day and age, violence against women and girls, and in particular aboriginal women and girls in so prolific in our society," Cheryl Casimer, director of the First Nations Summit's political executive, said, "This memorandum of understanding represents a much needed collaborative effort for First Nations, Metis and the provincial government to come together and take concrete actions on stopping violence against aboriginal women and girls."

Adobe Flash Player often receives updates several times a month, so most people are familiar with getting a prompt encouraging them to download the latest version. However, there are a lot of fake notifications out there that may lead you to a web page that will install software that you do not want. This page will usually look almost identical to the real Adobe Flash download page, but it’s fairly easy to spot a fake. If you are prompted and agree to download a Flash update, check the address bar of your web browser. If it does not contain adobe.com in the first part of the address somewhere, the page you are on is fake and the “update” is most likely malware. If you see this update come up consistently every time you visit a certain website, it might be a good idea to avoid that website in the future. The website may be trying to lure you in with a free service, like a game, while trying to heap junk programs on you.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18: Put the brakes on impulse buys, Aquarius. This week you may be tempted to spend more money than you have, and that will only lead to long-term financial concerns.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20: Pisces, it is time to rebrand yourself. This may start with a mini-makeover or more significant changes to your life and career.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20: Aries, let your creative side take over this week. Your imagination is ready to run wild, and this burst of creative energy will have long-lasting positive effects.
