Chamber has new board of directors

Council decided to increase residential tax rates by one per cent, and not to increase commercial tax rates

Village council approved the Burns Lake’s 2015 provisional budget in council chambers on March 3, 2015. Council decided to not increase commercial tax rates while increasing residential, utility, major industry and recreation/non-profit tax rates by one per cent. The Village of Burns Lake has managed to keep residential tax rates under a two per cent increase over the last few years. In 2014, there was a zero per cent increase; In 2013, the increase was of one per cent; In 2012, the increase was of zero per cent;

And in 2011, there was a two per cent increase. At the start of the meeting, council was looking at a two per cent increase for residential tax rates but decided to keep that increase at one per cent and raise service fees instead. Services offered at the Lakeside Multiplex, Tom Forsyth Memorial Arena, and the Burns Lake Curling Club will see an increase of 10 per cent effective July 1, 2015. A day pass at the Lakeside Multiplex for nonmembers currently costs $5.50. With the new rate, a day pass will cost $6.05. Three months membership at the Lakeside Multiplex currently costs $80, but with the new rate, it will cost $88. Administrative services such as business licenses will also see an increase of 10 per cent. Right now a business licence for one year in Burns Lake costs $100; After July 1, a one-year business license will cost $110. Services offered by public works such as garbage collection, garbage bin sales, cemetery, building permits and animal license will not be increased in 2015. By increasing certain service fees by 10 per cent, the village will generate an extra annual income of

It’s Continuing Education Calling!

$12,137 from the Tom Forsyth Memorial Arena; $1585 from the curling club; $16,926 from the Lakeside Multiplex and $3100 from administrative services - totalling $33,748 annually. However, the village will only receive $16,874 in 2015 since the increases will not be effective before July 2015. While some councillors said they felt the village should wait until the Lakeside Multiplex completed a year before raising fees, other councillors said they felt it was fair to increase recreation user fees since wages at the Lakeside Multiplex have increased significantly in 2015. Recreation wages for 2015 total $176,884, compared to $41,644 in 2014 - an increase of almost 325 per cent. When adding arena wages ($159,656), curling club wages ($32,677), and recreation wages ($176,884) for 2015, the total budget for wages at the recreation complex is $369,227, compared to $226,020 in 2014. Other budget increases include the salary of the Burns Lake fire chief - from $73,980 in 2014 to $77,251 in 2015. There were no wage increases to office workers, chief administrative officer and department heads ...see VILLAGE BUDGET ▼ P3

Spectra Energy is proposing a new natural gas system in B.C. called the Westcoast Connector. The proposed natural gas pipeline will extend from the Cypress area of Northeast B.C. (about 110 kms northwest of Fort St. John) to Prince Rupert, passing 330 kms north of Burns Lake through Cranberry Junction. Kim Haakstad, manager of technical workforce strategy for Spectra Energy, presented the proposed project to community members in Burns Lake on March 4, 2015, during the annual general meeting of the Burns Lake and District Chamber of Commerce. Haakstad said that although Burns Lake is relatively far from the proposed pipeline route, there will still be many opportunities for local employment. "When we hire our major contractors, they need to be able to make a commitment to find sub-contractors and employees from local communities," she said. "Local people know how to do it." "Our team also takes every opportunity to participate in local career fairs and business expos all along our project route," she added. At the peak of construction, 5800 people are expected to be working on the project. Employment opportunities will include entry level positions

that do not require previous pipeline-related experience since onthe-job training will be provided through to a full range of skilled trade, technical and professional positions. Trades positions will require specific certifications or enrolment in an approved apprenticeship program, and technical and professional positions will require a certificate or diploma from a technical institute or college. The Westcoast Connector is also expected to create demand for a range of goods and services – everything from heavy equipment and industrial parts to catering, hotel rooms and office supplies. Those interested in being a supplier with the Westcoast Connector are encouraged to register their business at http://www. energyforbc.ca/vendor-registration/ The proposed pipeline would be capable of transporting up to 4.2 billion cubic feet per day of natural gas, would be approximately 850 kilometres in length and up to 48 inches in diameter. This multi-billion dollar investment will serve BG Group’s proposed Prince Rupert LNG facility on Ridley Island and is expected to help B.C. open doors to new global energy markets. The Westcoast Connector received its Environmental Assessment Certificate in November 2014 and is expected to being construction in 2017, with the natural gas line starting service by the end of the decade.

Council members discuss the tax rate increase for the Village of Burns Lake during the village’s budget meeting of March 3, 2015. Council decided not to increase commercial tax rates while increasing residential tax rates by one per cent. (L-R) Mayor Luke Strimbold, clerk Cameron Hart, coun. Kelly Holliday and coun. John Illes. VILLAGE BUDGET from t P1 chief administrative officer and department heads of the Village of Burns Lake in 2015. However, there was a 1.5 per cent increase to union wages for public works crew and multiplex/arena crew as per their union contract. Mayor and council also had an increase in their remuneration in 2015. During the meeting, village staff also identified timing issues with the Eighth Avenue resurfacing project. The grant money that council is expecting to repair the road - the strategic priorities fund - will not be releasing approvals for grant funding until September 2015. This will likely set the

project back until 2016. In the meantime, Eighth Avenue needs repair work immediately. Staff requested an additional $10,000 to be added to operating expense for surface repair. Council agreed that repairing Eighth Avenue is a priority for the village, and allocated $10,000 for immediate repairs out of a surplus of $11,220 in the budget. The provisional budget will be brought back to council in May 2015 in the form of a bylaw for final approval. Present at the meeting were Mayor Luke Strimbold, councillors John Illes, Susan Schienbein, Kelly Holliday and Christopher Beach, as well as chief administrative officer Sheryl Worthing, clerk Cameron Hart and four other members of the village staff.

Seniors’ advocate strikes a chord

Not having a phone for a week About a week ago I was offered the opportunity to terminate my phone service (which included unlimited Internet data) to save a few hundred dollars. It’s a long story and I won’t bore you with the details. The point is that my phone service was cancelled for a few weeks. I figured it would be completely fine to not have any phone service temporarily. How naive of me. I only realized how addicted I was to my smartphone once I couldn’t use it anymore. Just the other night I was having a glass of wine at home when I decided to head to the gym so I could use their Wi-Fi. Yes, I realize how ridiculous this was, but suddenly I felt the urge to check my e-mails. After all, I hadn’t checked them since I left work two hours before. Once I got to the gym (and of course I had no interest in working out) I ended up walking on the treadmill (at the slowest possible speed) just so I could read my e-mails. There were no important e-mails, mostly spams, yet I felt so relieved afterwards. If you think my behaviour was ridiculous (and I do too), you would be surprised to hear I am not alone. Some studies suggest that the average person checks their smartphone 110 times a day, and around nine times an hour at peak times. Although smartphone addiction is not a medically recognized condition, CNN recently published a column on their website talking about the signs that might suggest a person is addicted to his or her smartphone. One of the signs suggested in the story include letting your lunch get cold so you could answer a query on your smartphone. Other signs include checking your phone to see the current temperature instead of opening a window; When one of your daughter’s first drawings of you has a BlackBerry in your hand; When you drop a phone on your face because you’re dozing off; Or when you are staring at photos you took on your phone while the actual moment is taking place right in front of you. After reading those signs (and of course I had done eight out of ten) I realized they were funny because they have become so normal. If you’re feeling hopeless, there are several websites offering tips on how to break the cycle of constantly checking your smartphone. One of the most useful tips include turning off notifications on your phone. This way you won’t be constantly reminded to check new Facebook messages and e-mails. Another helpful tip is to uninstall unnecessary apps. Some of the apps on your phone might be the same ones you have on your computer. Maybe you do not need the same apps on both devices. Another tip is to activate the “airplane mode” on your phone for a few hours a day. This would block SMS messages and oncoming phone calls (this one sounds really difficult to me, but I am willing to give it a try). The final tip (and maybe the most effective) is to hide your phone so you do not have access to the device at all times (in this case I would certainly need a friend to hide it for me, otherwise it would not work). There are also apps such as BreakFree that can monitor your phone use, telling you what apps you use the most. This app could even limit your phone use if required to help you control your addiction. Although I am counting the days to have my phone service back, I am definitely learning with this experience and observing how much time my phone steals from me every day. My goal is that soon I will be going to the gym to work out, and not to use their Wi-Fi.

CMCA AUDITED

B.C.’s new seniors’ advocate has issued her second report, and the media mostly ignored it. When this new office was promised by a campaigning Premier Christy Clark two years ago, I suggested that B.C. already has 85 seniors’ advocates. They’re called MLAs, and inquiries go to their local offices. Much to the chagrin of the opposition, Seniors’ Advocate Isobel Mackenzie’s mandate is not to pursue individual cases, and so she won’t be serving up a fresh assortment of horror stories to embarrass the government. Instead, it is to look for “systemic challenges” and recommend ways to deal with them. The latest report is based on a survey of more than 500 seniors from around the province, and the key finding

was not what she expected. “We were surprised to learn of the lack of awareness among seniors, particularly lowincome seniors, of government programs and the subsidies available to assist them,” Mackenzie said. The survey found that 60 per cent of seniors living on $30,000 or less annual income didn’t know they are eligible for discounts on Medical Services Plan premiums. For income less than $22,000, the entire $864 cost of individual MSP premiums is waived. Other frequently overlooked programs are a monthly rent subsidy called Shelter Aid for Elderly Renters (SAFER), grants for disability modifications called Home Adaptations for Independence, drug cost assistance called Fair Pharmacare, property tax deferment and the federal Guaranteed Income Supplement program. Those older than 75 with income of less than $30,000 reported the lowest awareness of assistance designed specifically for them. But you don’t get these benefits unless you apply and show that your income qualifies. The survey also found that the biggest fear of low-income seniors is that they won’t be able to afford to stay in their homes. See home adaptation, property tax and rent subsidy programs above. Awareness and usage of the SAFER program was lowest in the north and highest in urban areas, perhaps not surprising since the B.C. government exists more in theory than in fact in many remote places. So what should the government do about this? Well, it could advertise these programs. The government does lots of advertising, but not about old news like the SAFER program, which dates back to the 1970s. Clark’s government did a whack of advertising in the election year, 2013. Much of it was about the B.C. Jobs Plan, heavy on the hardhats and blueprint-style graphics and arc welding and stuff like that. Then last year the government’s big ad campaign was around the teachers’ strike, and the payments to parents to help with child care while teachers demanded twice as big a raise as all the other unions. Education Minister Peter Fassbender is still bragging about the response rate for $40-a-day parental strike pay, which was snapped up by almost 100 per cent of eligible parents. This demonstrates that the government can indeed give away money with great efficiency, just by telling people how to get it. The NDP’s version of seniors’ advocacy is to find the most tragic problems from complaints coming into constituency offices, and use those to ambush the government. A popular choice is an elderly couple who have to be separated because their medical needs are too different to keep them in the same facility. TV news loves that one. People cry on camera and denounce politicians for being heartless, as if the health minister stayed up late plotting how to break their granny’s heart. Maybe this seniors’ advocate wasn’t such a bad idea after all.

Community members complain about arena regs

The most common complaint is that the arena can only be used for one activity at a time FLAVIO NIENOW Some community members have expressed dissatisfaction regarding the regulations for private ice rental services at the Tom Forsyth Memorial Arena in Burns Lake. The most common complaints were expressed in a report written by Dooseon Jung, Director of Recreation Services for the Village of Burns Lake, and presented to village council during the budget meeting of March 3, 2015. According to the report, community members have had an issue with the "strict ice insurance regulations" for private rentals. Among the complaints is the fact that people cannot do two different activities at the arena at the same time, such as hockey and recreational skating. The other major public complaint is that children have to wear protective gear while playing hockey. "People say it's not fair because in other towns they don't have those rules," Jung told Lakes District News. "They [other towns] have those rules, but we are more strict here." The current arena customer insurance providers, All Sport and Sports Canada, say two different activities are extremely dangerous because a

hockey puck can hit skaters who are not fully equipped with protective gear. "When people are skating for fun, nobody wears helmets… so if people are playing hockey and the puck goes to the other side, someone could be seriously injured," said Jung. "As a result, our arena staff strictly adhere to this rule." "I understand that some people are not happy about it, but we're concerned about public safety," she added. But besides safety, there is also the issue of time and money. While the arena does have a divider board to split the ice into two separate surfaces, installing and removing the boards takes about four hours to complete for two arena attendants at an approximate cost of $360. If a user gets injured from prohibited activities, their insurance would not cover the liability and the municipality could also be held liable for not ensuring that people followed the rules, according to the report. The village's insurance provider, Municipal Insurance Association (MIA), states that if the village does not ensure users are following the insurance regulations, MIA cannot cover the liabilities of the activities taking place on the rented ice. This then puts the village at risk of being sued with no coverage. Jung said the financial implications of being sued without being protected by MIA are significant. "If something happens, we don't want tax payers to pay the bill," she said.

Do you know how much water residents in Burns Lake consume every month? Here are some statistics for the village The Village of Burns Lake will generate $287,000 in water user rates in 2015; Total water used per month in Burns Lake is 7,232,367 gallons; Total water used per month for metered commercial properties totals 1,656,147 gallons; There are 42 commercial metered water users, and 22 of these are under the minimum water usage; Nine of the commercial metered water users consume less than the residential minimum of 9,294 gallons per month; There are currently 40 metered residential properties and they are all located in the same building complex, consuming 105,805 gallons per month. There will be no water rate increase in this year’s budget.

Bill 12 could exempt LNG plants from species at risk act

Editor: Bill 12 could exempt LNG plants from scrutiny under the species at risk act and allow for the destruction of important documents according to Andrew Weaver, MLA for Oak Bay-Gordon Head and Deputy Leader of the B.C. Green Party. “Right now, the provincial government is quietly pushing through legislation that could seriously undermine public oversight and environmental regulation of LNG ports,” says Andrew Weaver. Bill C-43 gave the federal government the power to sell port land to port authorities. Once sold, that land no longer qualifies as ‘federal’ land and therefore no longer triggers a review under federal environmental regulations, including the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act 2012 and the terrestrial species protections under the Species at Risk Act. Bill C-43 also empowers the new body overseeing the port to destroy important documents or keep them confidential. Under Bill 12 the province could take authority for these former port lands to administer projects like LNG terminals. The province would be authorized to empower LNG plants to destroy important documents or keep them confidential, as they see fit.

Good job guys

Editor: I would like to acknowledge the Omineca Ski Club executive, and specifically to Mark West, Wes Bender, Chris Paulson, and Krystin St Jean. These remarkable people responded to a potential medical emergency in an efficient,

calm, and timely manner worthy of applause. With such dedicated individuals at the helm, it's no wonder that Omineca Ski Club maintains its world-class status. Great job guys. Sincerely, Kris Shively

The B.C. Liberal’s coveted LNG industry could also take advantage of essential regulatory loopholes, by not having to undergo federal environmental assessments or meeting basic standards such as terrestrial species protections under the Species at Risk Act. B.C. currently has no comparable legislation covering endangered species. “My concern is that this shows a possible willingness to land an LNG industry at the expense of British Columbians’ interests," says Weaver. “Why would LNG terminals need the potential power to destroy documents or keep them confidential?” Dr. Weaver will table and support several amendments to Bill 12 this afternoon when it is debated in committee stage. The purpose of the amendments is to protect public oversight of the LNG industry and to close the regulatory loopholes created by Bill C-43. “Bill 12 opens us up to massive loopholes from federal conservative legislation. We should be amending this bill to close those loopholes and protect the interests of British Columbians.” Andrew Weaver, MLA Victoria, B.C.

Village to places signs to tell visitors about mountain biking recognition Council discussed if this is the best time to place signs on Hwy. 16 promoting the village’s mountain biking trails Flavio Nienow In 2013, the Burns Lake Mountain Biking Association (BLMBA) was invited by the International Mountain Bicycling Association to apply for a ride centre status. Burns Lake was awarded a bronze ride centre designation, making it the first community in Canada to be awarded this title. This designation is awarded to communities that offer all the amenities a mountain biker would look for when choosing a destination. The idea of having signage up on Hwy. 16 promoting this title has already been discussed by council in the past. Council brought up this idea on a Sept. 16, 2014, regular meeting with the resolution that coun. Christopher Beach would work with staff to explore signage opportunities. "Since we got the title of Canada's first ride centre, other communities have gotten it, but in that first year we were in major bike magazines; We need to do something to promote what we have," said Beach during the budget meeting of March 3, 2015. Councillor Susan Schienbein said she has also been an advocate for signage in the community. However, she expressed concern that placing signage on Hwy. 16 right now could be in conflict with the re-branding of the town. The village's economic development department has been

working on the re-branding of the Village of Burns Lake as a way of highlighting the unique aspects of the town and attract more visitors and residents. Signage is one of the items that will be addressed during implementation of the branding and marketing strategy. Krystin St. Jean, Economic Development Officer for the village, said she plans to have Burns Lake re-branded by the end of 2015, with implementation starting 2016. "Do we really want to be spending on signage and then come up with our re-branding next year and have a sign that maybe doesn't fit to how we want to brand ourselves," asked Schienbein during the budget meeting. Beach said he does not think signage for the mountain biking trails would be in conflict with the re-branding of Burns Lake. During the budget meeting of March 3, 2015, council passed a resolution to place two signs on Hwy. 16, stating that the maximum contribution would be set at $2000. One sign will be placed 30 kms west of Burns Lake at the field by Baker Airport. Staff is working to determine the best location to place the second sign east of town as there is an opportunity to use existing signage infrastructure located approximately 50 kms from Burns Lake. If that opportunity does not work out, then staff will begin exploring placing the sign on private property. Staff is also working on securing alternative funding sources that will match the village's contribution. Once that is completed, staff will work with the Burns Lake Mountain Biking Association on designing the signage before having it printed and installed. "Often people who drive through our town don't know what the town is known for, and something like this [signage] might get them to stop," said Mayor Luke Strimbold. "Even if people are not interested in mountain biking, something like this [signage] would make people think we have other recreation options to offer. The signage is also important to celebrate the success that this group [BLMBA] has achieved."

The Burns Lake and District Chamber of Commerce 2015 annual general meeting took place on March 4 at the Visitors Information Centre. During the meeting, the chamber presented its strategic planning and financial statements to the public. Greg Brown was appointed as the new president of the Burns Lake and District Chamber of Commerce. Alice Harris was appointed as the new treasurer, and Tammy Downton was appointed as the new secretary. There was no nomination for vice-president, so the position remains vacant to be filled by the board of directors during their next meeting.

In 475 BC, a beautiful Jewish woman named Esther stood before the king of Persia and pleaded for the life of her people.

The king was her husband, from which Esther had kept her identity a secret. A wicked ruler, named Haman, was plotting a day of genocide against the Jews of Persia. He rolled dice, called “purim” to pick the fateful day. When Esther learned of Haman’s plot, she risked her life to reveal her identity and save her people. It worked. The king brought judgment upon Haman, and decreed the Jewish people could defend themselves on the appointed day. The celebration of that victory is known as the Feast of Purim.

Last week history repeated itself. Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, on the very eve of Purim, stood before the American congress to plead for the life of his people against a nuclear Iran, otherwise known as ancient Persia. As president Obama assures the world that Iran will use their nuclear program for peace, Iran boasts of coming destruction to Israel and America. God made a promise to Israel’s founding fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, saying, “All who bless you, I will bless; and all who curse you, I will curse; and

through your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed.” History displays the truth of these words. And who is the promised “Seed” that blesses all nations? Jesus Christ, of the house and lineage of David, both God and man, Savior of the world. Biblical prophecy is unfolding before our eyes, whether people realize it or not. Epic events are about to take place. What can we do? The Hebrew word for safety is “Yeshua,” the very name of Jesus. Blessed are all they who put their trust in Him.

Planning for success requires succession planning.

Burns Lake student Elise Dube competes at the Canada Winter Games in Prince George

Flavio Nienow Lakes District Secondary School student Elise Dube placed sixth in the snowboard cross event at the 2015 Canada Winter Games in Prince George. In the first heat of the snowboard cross event on Feb. 28, Dube placed first; in the second heat she came in second; and in the third heat she came in third. In the small final - for fifth to eighth places - Dube came in second, placing her in the sixth position overall. "She [Elise] is thrilled with this, and so are we [her parents]," said Dube's mother Patti. "The girls who placed first to fifth [in the snowboard cross event] are on the national development team and have been training for the last three years." Dube, on the other hand, has only recently earned a position in the B.C. Snowboard team, in May 2014. The talented teenager also placed fourteenth in the parallel giant slalom event on Feb. 24 at the games. "It was a very exciting competition," said

2015 Canada Winter Games was "an undeniable success." "During the past two weeks, Prince George has come alive with the spirit of celebration, national unity and community pride," she said. "I know these games will be talked about for years to come as one of the most memorable moments in people's lives." Interesting facts about the Canada Games This is the first time the Canada Winter Games have ever been held in B.C. The Government of B.C. has invested more than $12.8 million in the 2015 Canada Winter Games, and the games are estimated to generate $70-$90 million in economic activity. It is estimated the Games attracted more than 15,000 visitors to Prince George and the

First-Time Donor’s Super Credit

For first-time donors, the budget proposes to introduce a temporary supplement to the existing non-refundable tax credit for charitable donations by individuals. The new credit can be claimed once from the 2013 to 2017 taxation years. How is the existing non-refundable tax credit for charitable donations calculated? Currently, the non-refundable charitable donations tax credit (CDTC) is calculated as the total of: • the lowest income tax rate (15% for 2014) multiplied by the first $200 of charitable donations claimed by an individual; and • the highest income tax rate (29% for 2014) multiplied by the portion of the donations claimed by the individual that exceeds $200. What is the new First-Time Donor’s Super Credit (FDSC)? Starting in the 2013 taxation year, the budget proposed to introduce a temporary non-refundable FDSC that will supplement the CDTC for individuals. This new credit effectively adds 25% to the rates used in the calculation of the CDTC for up to $1,000 of monetary donations. As a result, a first-time donor will be allowed a 40% federal credit for donations of $200 or less, and a 54% federal credit for the portion of donations over $200 but not exceeding $1,000. As the FDSC is a temporary credit, you can only claim it once from the 2013 to 2017 taxation years. Who is considered a first-time donor? For the 2014 taxation year, an individual will be considered a first-time donor if neither the individual nor the individual’s spouse or common-law partner has claimed the CDTC in any of the five preceding tax years.

Minimum wage formula coming soon to B.C.

Approximately 120,000 people in British Columbia earn minimum wage salaries Tom Fletcher

Premier Christy Clark has ruled out increasing B.C.'s minimum wage to $15 an hour, but she says there will be a formula announced soon for increases to keep pace with the cost of living. After meetings between cabinet ministers and B.C. Federation of Labour executives this week, Clark said work is underway to extend the series of increases that brought the minimum wage up to its current rate of $10.25 an hour after a decade with no increase. She said the system has to protect small and medium-sized businesses from big jumps. "They know that it's going to go up, but they want to know that it's going to go up in a predictable way so they can plan for it," Clark said. B.C. Fed president Irene Lanzinger said it's big businesses like fast food chains that offer many of the minimum wage jobs. Of the 120,000 people in B.C. making minimum wage, nearly half are over 25 years old, 63 per cent are women and about 10,000 are aged 55 and older, she said. Labour leaders were more encouraged after their call for a minimum 25 per cent of jobs for apprentices on publicly funded construction projects. Lee Loftus, president of the B.C. Building

Trades, said unionized contractors have the 25 per cent rule in their collective agreements and fund apprenticeship training. But with the majority of construction now done by non-union companies, there are no quotas for apprentice positions. Clark said BC Hydro has adopted the 25 per cent standard for the Site C dam project, but other large public infrastructure projects include federal funds. Ottawa wants apprenticeships to be voluntary for those projects, but Clark said she supports the idea in principle. "If we're spending this money on public projects anyway, we should be investing in apprenticeships and getting people up the ladder so they can earn more money and go and work in what we know is going to be a huge industry, in liquefied natural gas," Clark said. Lanzinger said the B.C. Fed has received little response from the government on its other longstanding issue, the lack of union successorship rights in health care. A change in contractors triggered layoff notices to 240 Hospital Employees' Union members this week at Laurel Place, a Surrey long-term care facility. A contract change for Vancouver Coastal Health cleaning staff has triggered layoff of 935 staff effective this summer. Lanzinger said the B.C. government's 2002 exemption of public employers and publicly subsidized private employers from union successorship provisions in the Labour Code has resulted in many contract changes with workers laid off and rehired. The practice is designed to drive down wages and benefits for employees making little more than minimum wages, she said.

The band performed acoustic roots music in the style of Loudon Wainwright III, John Prine and Steve Earle, but as proud Canadians.

Emailing pictures over the Internet is pretty common, but occasionally you might find that the message seems to disappear somewhere along the way, or it may be bounced back. Though there are a few different reasons for this to happen, the most likely is that the picture attachments are too large. Some email servers will automatically reject a message that is greater than 5 or 10 megabytes, so sending ten pictures attached to one email, each a megabyte in size, could result in a lost or rejected email. To avoid this, try resizing your pictures using a program like Microsoft Paint. Reducing the total size of the picture by 50-75% will still leave a decent quality picture while also significantly reducing the file size, allowing you to send more in one message. Alternatively if you prefer to keep send your pictures at the highest quality, you can try uploading them online to PhotoBucket, Google Drive, Microsoft SkyDrive, or Facebook, then share the web link with your friends and family

NATURAL GAS TO LNG A SPECIAL SERIES ON LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS

1) BRING IN

by pipeline to the west coast from NE B.C.

2) CLEAN UP

remove dust, water and other impurities

4) SHRINK IT

LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS

a cubic foot of LNG equals 600 cubic feet of natural gas

is a growing global industry with 32 operating plants worldwide and 13 under construction.

5) KEEP COOL

store LNG in special tanks until shipped

3) COOL DOWN

6) SHIP OUT

cool NG to -162°C to make LNG

transport LNG to Asia in special ships

LNG is simply natural gas that has been cooled to -162°C to turn it into a liquid so that it can be transported more easily and safely. It’s the same natural gas that is delivered by pipeline to hundreds of thousands of homes across BC to efficiently heat and cook food. The BC LNG Alliance is the voice of British Columbia’s new LNG export industry. Our mission is to foster the growth of a safe, environmentally responsible and globally competitive LNG industry in British Columbia and Canada.
