Rupert port announces expansion project

By Shaun Thomas

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The expansion of Fairview Terminal has been the dream of many in Prince Rupert since the facility first opened in 2007.

On March 10, that dream became a reality.

Prince Rupert Port Authority president and CEO Don Krusel outlined plans for what will be the largest single investment in the history of the Port of Prince Rupert to a packed house at the Port Interpretive Centre, an announcement that was met with resounding applause from some of the same men and women who marked the opening of the terminal almost eight years ago.

“The commitment of Maher Terminals to invest over $200 million into the Fairview expansion is recognition that they,

along with our customers and everyone else in the industry, expects the success that has been achieved over the past seven years to continue into the future,” he said of the project, which includes four additional cranes, four more rail tracks and the reclamation of approximately 3.7 hectares of land to create an additional 155 metres of wharf to be added to the northwest end of the terminal.

“The construction project is expected to provide more than 600 person years of employment over the two-and-a-half years of construction and will average 240 workers over that period ... this project will increase the annual capacity of the terminal to more than 1.3 million TEUS, an increase of approximately 500,000 containers or an additional 60 per cent.”

The announcement brings

Fairview Terminal closer to the final build out that was initially envisioned when the terminal opened almost eight years ago.

“When the facility was first envisioned, and we still envision it, it was a 2 million TEU facility.

This is the next phase in it potentially reaching the ultimate vision of 2 million TEUs,” said Krusel, adding the expansion toward Ridley Island is still very much on the table.

“We refer to the build out of Phase 2 as being a Phase 2 north and Phase 2 south. Ultimately, to get us to the two million TEUs of capacity envisioned, we will eventually be expanding to the south as well.”

While the announcement was made by the Prince Rupert Port Authority and the decision to proceed came from Maher Terminals, Krusel said much of the credit for the Phase 2 expansion

rests with those who work at the terminal.

“The men and women providing that service here in Prince Rupert have proved that they can win against some of the strongest competition in all of North America. Today that is a fact that is recognized throughout the industry and, I am proud to say, that is a fact that is recognized throughout the entire world,” he said, adding there are currently more than 500 people on the International Longshore and Warehouse Union board with plans for further recruiting.

“It has been the men and women of the Prince Rupert gateway who have won and kept the business of ... hundreds of other major importers and exporters through hard work, commitment and trust. Today that hard work and commitment is being rewarded.”

Listening to your feedback has helped us to design

a one-of-a-kind marine infrastructure to protect fish and fish habitat in the Skeena Estuary.

The suspension bridge ensures the smallest possible marine footprint.

Protecting Flora Bank and our marine environment

PacificNorthWestLNG.com

As a result of what you told us, we submitted design changes to our regulators in late 2014.

What Has Changed?

• A unique suspension bridge and trestle will connect the LNG plant on Lelu Island to our LNG carrier berths, reducing the amount of marine infrastructure adjacent to Flora Bank • LNG carrier berths are planned to be located in naturally deep water in Chatham Sound, requiring no dredging Key Facts About Our Proposed Design • No infrastructure on Flora Bank • World-class marine studies conducted and committed to ongoing fish monitoring • Enough clearance for fishing vessels to continue to use their traditional routing north of Flora Bank and travel under the bridge • Two marine berths located approximately 2.7 kilometres west of Lelu Island in naturally deep water • Unlike other petroleum products, liquefied natural gas evaporates into the atmosphere if it warms above -162° Celsius and does not sink or coat the marine environment

Municipal strike still on in Kitimat

Festival bears on sale …

By Cameron Orr

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - Unifor 2300 is saying it’s up to the District of Kitimat to get back to the negotiating table to pave the way to getting the strike settled.

The District of Kitimat meanwhile contends that the ball is in the union’s court.

“We have, on numerous occasions now, extended the invitation for the District to come back to bargaining and most recently…[to] the mayor directly to be involved in bargaining. To date they haven’t responded,” said Unifor 2301 Business Agent Martin McIlwrath, who is representing the workers of 2300.

“It’s all we can do, is to request to resume bargaining. They are refusing,” he said. “Pretty much silence.”

McIlwrath said there’s still information the union needs to know from the District, notably the finer details of how their offer could mean a 12 per cent property tax increase, as the District of Kitimat has stated. “We don’t know where their budget is. So I don’t know if the cost of our contract would increase anything. I don’t even know that because I can’t see their budget,” he said.

Over at the District, Chief Administrative Officer Ron Poole says the town has yet to receive a formal response from the union to the final offer.

“We’re still waiting for them to give us something as to what they don’t like or what they do like in the offer,” said Poole. “We are willing to negotiate but we feel the ball is in their court since we’ve placed the final offer on the table.”

Poole said the last time the two sides met was in regard to the offer but there was no written response from the union.

Construction ready to start on marina facility in Cow Bay

By Martina Perry THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Next month piles will be driven into the seabed of Cow Bay for a new itinerant yacht marina.

Announced during the Northwest Growth Conference on Saturday, the $3.8 million-project will provide moorage for 51 vessels ranging from 40 to 80 feet. A 12-foot-wide, 600-foot-long wooden breakwater will protect the pri-

vate marina while also providing a public wharf extending into the harbour between the Northland cruise ship dock and the Yacht Club.

“The community has been talking about a lack of vessel moorage for 25 years now. The Cow Bay Marina is an important part of diversifying the local economy and revitalizing the tourism sector as it stands to generate direct and indirect economic benefits to the city,” said John Farrell, general manager of Community Futures of the Pacific

Northwest.

The project was launched after a market study by Community Futures of the Pacific Northwest and the Prince Rupert and Port Edward Economic Development Corporation identified the high demand for slips, and was initiated by Community Futures, the City of Prince Rupert, the Prince Rupert and Port Edward Economic Development Corporation and the Prince Rupert Port Authority.

“Our market study showed we

much larger strategy to open up access to our waterfront for locals and those near and far”.

“This is a major win for the City of Prince Rupert,” said Brain.

Broadwater Industries was awarded the construction tender for the marina, which is expected to be complete by the end of July and officially open to the public this fall.

“The construction is modular so pieces will be floated into place and begin to develop before your eyes,” said Vendittelli.

$50K grant makes CDC an Early Years Centre

By Cameron Orr THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - The Kitimat Child Development Centre has been distinguished as a BC Early Years Centre.

The distinction comes with $52,000 to deliver programs aimed at children ages 0-6.

The Kitimat B.C. Early Years Centre is one of 14 new centres opening throughout the province, bringing the total to 26 since the program first began.

Child Development Centre Executive Director Margaret Warcup says the funding boost is aimed to go towards program integration, which the centre already does

to a degree.

“This gives us the opportunity to really try to do even more,” she said, but noted they’re approaching their plans cautiously given that $52,000 isn’t a bottomless supply of funds.

Ultimately though being an Early Learning Centre gives the CDC a voice in the discussion of further early learning programs, she said.

“We do have to push that children and youth with special needs still get adequate funding,” she said.

A delegation from the CDC will be attending an early learning conference hosted by the province over spring break and they’ll

make that topic a priority while they’re there.

“We took the approach that if you’re not at the table you don’t have a voice,” she said.

The proposal to become an early learning centre was put together last year and this is the second round of naming early learning centres in B.C. Among some of the proposals the CDC put forward to get the grant is to update their parent resources on their website.

Another is that they’ll advocate for reforms to Early Childhood Educator (ECE) licencing.

Warcup says they want to push to get ECE

education as a potential stepping stone to higher education as well.

Getting qualified people in to preschools and day cares is challenging and ECEs aren’t especially highly paid, but allowing people to take their credentials and apply them to other programs would go a long way to attracting people to the program.

Stephanie Cadieux, Minister of Children and Family Development, said the government “want[s] to give families with young children throughout the province easier access to the services they need to help kids reach their full potential.

B.C. moves to restrict e-cigarettes

By Tom Fletcher

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

VICTORIA - The B.C. government is tightening its regulations to ban the sale of electronic cigarettes to minors and use of the smoking substitute in workplaces, restaurants and other indoor public spaces.

Health Minister Terry Lake said changes he introduced in the B.C. legislature Thursday will treat the battery-powered devices like tobacco products, meaning they may not be displayed in stores or used in enclosed spaces where others are present. That will include private vehicles with children inside.

Lake said he expects the new regulations to be in effect within a year, after consulting with the industry and giving sellers time to adjust to the new rules.

“This doesn’t ban e-cigarettes,” Lake said. “This means that children are protected from the sale and from being exposed to e-cigarettes, and those who don’t want to be subjected to the vapours from e-cigarettes are protected as well.

“Essentially the same conditions that now apKITIMATwill COMMUNITY HUMANE SOCIETY ply to tobacco apply to e-cigarettes, so in public places, indoor workplaces, school grounds and now SHELTER

health authorities as well.”

Lake said e-cigarettes may have potential as a quit-smoking aid, but they are currently unregulated and the liquid used in them may contain nicotine or other chemicals with health risks. The federal government has banned the sale of so-called “e-juice” containing nicotine, but it remains legal in the U.S. and Health Canada has received numerous reports that it is sold north of the border as well.

NDP health critic Judy Darcy said she supports the restriction on e-cigarettes, but the lack of measures to prohibit flavoured tobacco products is “a gaping hole” in the government’s bill.

Lake said he has been assured by federal Health Minister Rona Ambrose that federal regulations are in the works to deal with flavoured tobacco.

“When you’re talking about the manufacture of cigars and cigarettes, it’s better to do that at a federal level, because obviously they’re not made in each individual province,” Lake said.

Pushing for a park Mountains School District in the form of a $7,620 cheque, which amounts to 10 per cent of the quoted cost of the playground.

“We’ve raised over $50,000, so we have about $26,000 to go to reach our goal,” said Wasyleski.

The current playground has a capacity of just around 10 kids and its age is showing,” she said.

“It’s nearing the end,” she said. “The fact is it’s old, it’s wood, and it’s...12 feet by 10, max,” said Waysleski.

As well the Child Development Centre Executive Director Margaret Warcup says the preschool program run at Kildala has to apply for a variance to Northern Health to use other

KITIMAT - If the Kildala PAC has anything to say about it the fundraising for a new school playground should be done by the end of the calendar year.

The Kildala Parent Advisory Council President Kim Wasyleski was going to present a request to Kitimat Council at the last public meeting however they opted to push their presentation to a different time.

Even so, when the PAC does speak to council they’re hopeful they can get some support, particularly in the $20,000 range, which is what they will be asking.

The PAC has already been given support from the Coast

nearby parks because the one at Kildala can’t be used for children under six.

“We’ve had to do that for a number of years until they can get that playground upgraded,” said Warcup.

Still, fundraising is going at a healthy pace, better than they even projected, said Waysleski She adds that they have applied for numerous grants for support too and are awaiting word on those.

Even bottle drives have earned over $1,500 for the project.

In the PAC’s letter to the District, they note that they were next in line for a Ministry of Education playground grant when the program was discontinued.

CAMERON ORR / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

The playground at Kildala Elementary School is old and undersized for the school, says the PAC.

Bid process opens for mill demo

By Martina Perry THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - The City of Prince Rupert is calling out for bids for the demolition and salvaging of infrastructure at the former pulp mill on Watson Island.

In September, the city announced it had awarded a contract to Stantec Engineering to arrange a course of action for decommissioning the former pulp mill and put two notices on B.C. Bid related to the work earlier this month.

The first notice was a request for proposals for the demolition, salvage and removal of structures, contents and equipment at Watson Island and the second was an invitation for offers on industrial equipment from the site.

As part of a settlement with Sun Wave Forest Products, the former owner will pay for the deconstruction project, but will be able to use funds from an asset recovery program designed to net-back some value from equipment and scrap metal sales to cover the costs.

“There’s still lots of valuable material out there that could be used for other industries,” explained Prince Rupert Mayor Lee Brain.

Although the undertaking won’t be a full shut down of the site, Mayor Brain said it’s a huge step in moving forward.

“This decommissioning isn’t necessarily a full remediation of the island. It’s just part of the pro-

cess of stripping will take place when down the materials the city is able to purand buildings (to sue other economic intheir foundations). terests of the site.

Hwy of Tears film screening

At the games…

CONTRIBUTED / THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE GEORGE – That’s Sean Robinson, in the middle, speaking from the ColdSnap Music Festival held in conjunction with the Canada Winter Games in Prince George. Sean, 11, is part of the Nisga’a Nation’s Eagle (Laxgeek) clan and his Nisga’a name is Yagabax. He gave a traditional welcome in introducing bands A Tribe Called Red and Out of Alba. The games and festival official closed on Sunday, Feb. 1 after two weeks.

TERRACE - Highway of Tears, a documentary by Montreal-born, Los Angeles-based filmmaker Matt Smiley will be screened at 7 p.m. March 17 at the REM Lee Theatre.

In June 2012, Smiley travelled to northern British Columbia to direct “Highway of Tears,” a documentary film based on the missing women along Highway 16.

Since the late 1960s, at least 18 young women — many from disadvantaged First Nations communities — have disappeared or been found murdered along the 724-kilometre stretch of Highway 16 in northern B.C. Narrated by Nathan Fillion, Smiley’s documentary not only relates the personal stories of the victims, but investigates how the legacy of generational poverty, high unemployment and endemic violence in their communities contributed to their tragic fates — and how contemporary First Nations leaders are striving to cure those ills.

A Q&A with Matt Smiley and Doug Leslie follows the screening.

Several tickets have been set aside for those who can’t afford the ticket cost but would like to see the movie. Tickets are on sale at the door or at http:// www.eventbrite.com/e/highway-of-tears-rem-theatre-terrace-bc-tickets-15965997729?aff=efbevent.

Report raises concerns about Flora Bank

By Shaun Thomas

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - A report prepared for the Lax Kw’alaams Band raises new concerns about the impact Pacific NorthWest LNG’s terminal on Lelu Island could have on Flora Bank.

The report, entitled A Sediment Trend Analysis of Prince Rupert Harbour and Its Surrounding Waters, was written by Dr. Patrick McLaren of SedTrend Analysis and notes that Flora Bank is unique in that the sediments are not believed to have been transported and deposited at the site but rather “must have formed in situ or are remnant from a pre-existing environment”.

“If, in fact, the sands are actually part of a larger transport regime in which sand is both arriving and leaving the bank, thereby keeping them maintained, a constantly shifting position of the bank could be expected as the availability of sand arriving could never be constant and the processes to remove it would also be variable,” he wrote.

“The amount of sand on the surface of Flora Bank has remained constant and, to date, there has been little possibility for the complex interaction of river, tide and wave processes responsible for holding

the sand in place to have changed since sea level reached its present position 8,000 years ago.”

Based on the idea that Flora Bank is not a feature that is created by sediment transported through the Skeena River, Dr. McLaren said different considerations must be taken into account when examining the impact of industrial development in nearby areas.

“Any change that might alter the wave, river or tidal currents in the waters surrounding Flora Bank will inevitably affect the ability of the processes to hold the sand in place. If such a change results in a loss of sand, there will no longer be any chance either for it to return or be replenished from other sources,” he wrote.

“If, instead of losing the sand, a decrease in energy levels over the Bank increases the deposition of fine sediments the possibility of losing the eel grass will occur.”

Luanne Roth of the Prince Rupert Environmental Society says this information must be considered by the company which she says, despite eliminating the need for dredging through the use of a suspended bridge trestle, would still create “a forest of pilings” that would impact current wave action and flows in

the area.

“Pacific Northwest LNG is aware of the erosion problem with the new design. I spoke to them at their last open house and they said they were meeting with Dr. McLaren whose sediment analysis confirmed a serious flaw in the new design which threatens Flora Bank if the Pacific Northwest LNG project is allowed to proceed,” she said.

The company acknowedges they have heard the concern, but say their studies show any impact to the cur-

rents and tides around Flora Bank would not be significant.

“Based on extensive studies conducted by our environmental consultants who are experienced in this field, we are confident that the integrity of Flora Bank will be maintained. We have conducted rigorous engineering modelling and analysis, and are confident that changes to waves, river and tidal currents around Flora Bank would be minimal,” said communications advisor Krissy Van Loon.

“We fully understand the importance of, and are committed to protecting, the eel grass and Flora Bank. We have conducted wave, current and tidal studies, sediment dispersion modelling, shading analysis as well as extensive field work to better understand how our marine terminal will impact the area around Lelu Island.

The conclusion of this work is that the current marine structure design and terminal operations would not adversely impact eel grass or Flora Bank.”

Terrace’s Fugere rink wins Marine Bonspiel

By Kevin Campbell

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - It was a little rough-going in the fourth and fifth ends and the shots weren’t always perfect, but Terrace’s Team Fugere pulled out a convincing 8-4 win on Sunday afternoon versus Terrace counterparts Team Kennedy in the ‘A’ final of the Prince Rupert Men’s Marine Bonspiel.

Skip Brian Fugere and his second Lee Snyder, third Rob Phillips and lead Wayne Julseth played the first three ends to perfection, garnering a 4-0 lead early on.

But a two point fourth end followed by a two point fifth end from skip John Kennedy and his team consisting of Ian Munson, Kevin Jeffrey and Andy Hoffman knotted things up at 4-4 going into the sixth end.

“We had a tough time there in that fourth or fifth [end] but the boys came through in the sixth.

They finished the game off good,” said Fugere after the win.

Fugere’s sixth end was a big

chance he got. His team didn’t miss much after their mid-game hiccups.

“We tried to junk it up a little bit

because they’re a good hitting team.

They’re a tough team to play, but they did well,” he said.

“He missed a couple of key shots but [that was it],” Fugere continued.

A final point in the seventh end completed the undefeated tournament for Team Fugere, going 5-0 while playing together for the first time ever, with a couple members usually playing with a different skip.

It’s also the first time Fugere has won the ‘A’ event in a Prince Rupert Bonspiel.

His rink defeated Team Mayeda, Team Bernhardt, Team Thomas, Team Green and Kennedy to win the 2015 event while Kennedy’s rink downed the 4 Amigo’s, Team Blackstone, Team Copeland and Team Morgan to reach the final, going 4-1.

“After all the losses I’ve had [here] before, it’s kind of nice,” said Fugere.

“I’ve played John before in Terrace, but not here.”

Team Johnson claimed the ‘B’ event, Team B. Mullin took the “C’ final and Team Thomas grabbed the ‘D’ throne.

Kitimat strike forces Peewee provincial tourney venue change

By Anna Killen THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

TERRACE - Hundreds of provincial Peewee hockey players and their families will be descending on Terrace this weekend, part of the fallout from the Kitimat District municipal workers’ strike.

The Kitimat Peewee Tier 3 BC Hockey Championship will now take place at the Terrace Sportsplex beginning March 15 - 18 with the organizing committee making the official announcement Tuesday last week.

“You can’t imagine,” said organizing committee chairman Tony Velho of how it felt to learn that the ongoing strike would mean that the four-day tournament the committee had been planning since November couldn’t take place at the Tamitik Arena.

“We’ve got a real dedicated group helping out, the committee, and sure it was a bit of a disappointment to them – the reason everyone did it was because, ‘hey, I’m a Kitimat person and I want to showcase our town and what we have, we’ve got a nice rink,’” he said.

Kitimat Mayor Phil Germuth said the city is “obviously disappointed that we’re not able to host this event as a result of a labour dispute, it would have been a great event for the community.

“However, the situation is what it is,” he said, lamenting the impact

losing the tournament will have on Kitimat’s economy but also praising the Kitimat organizing committee for being prepared.

“Obviously Kitimat people were prepared for this and it’s nice to see Terrace people come through and make it a reality,” he said.

“Terrace has helped us like crazy...”

Kitimat’s Tony Velho

Velho explained that “there’s been a lot of planning up to this point.

And all of the planning is based on it being in Kitimat,” he said, noting there were plans for a coach meeting room and a player’s lounge room at the rink and a handful of teams were booked at Kitimat hotels.

Some of those teams have now re-booked hotels in Terrace, he said, and the only event that will still take place in Kitimat is the banquet.

The organizing committee tried to work with city officials and the union to get the ice back on the rink in Kitimat, but realizing it wasn’t possible, Velho reached out to Ter-

race. And his phone has been ringing off the hook with offers to help pull off the tournament ever since.

“Oh my son’s 14 years old, I’m not sure what he can do but he’s willing to help. One lady – I don’t know if her husband knows, but her husband’s volunteering – said I can do it, my husband can, and my 11-year-old is a mature 11-yearold, like stuff like that, it’s crazy,” he said, adding the scouts offered to help with 50/50 and he received a call from St. John’s ambulance to do first aid.

He said the Sunday night opening ceremonies, with speeches by the BC Hockey president as well as Germuth might be a bit “weird” now that the venue has changed.

“You can’t really say it’s a Kitimat tournament because it’s in Terrace,” he said, laughing. “It’s more of a regional thing now I guess.”

But he’s “just glad we can still make it happen. Terrace has helped us like crazy. It’s not like Kitimat is in a flood situation where we need housing, but people coming together like that... it’s been really supportive,” he continued.

That sentiment is underscored by the city of Terrace’s leisure services director Carmen Didier. “We wanted to do whatever we could to make sure the championships stayed in the northwest and were workable for the Kitimat provincial working committee,” she said.

That includes keeping the Hid-

“The regular ice user groups have been accommodating and have offered support where they can,” she said, adding local businesses are contributing to the team packages and the city is offering free swimming passes to the provincial teams.

“We all recognize that high level competitions in the northwest helps to build better local sports programs in many ways,” said Didier.

“Kitimat is a good neighbour and we support them. I am certain you will see many Terrace folks in the bleachers cheering on the Kitimat team throughout the competition,” she added.
