CRD supports restricted Mount Polley Mine restart The Cariboo Regional District has expressed its support for the restricted restart of the Mount Polley Mine to the Minister of Energy and Mines, The Honourable Bill Bennett and the Minister of Environment, The Honourable Mary Polak.

The CRD has also requested the government include the Cariboo Regional District and

the community of Likely in future discussions regarding the mine and its operations, to share the Emergency Response Plan with First Nations, the Cariboo Regional District and the community of Likely; and to maintain and expand the role of the Public Liaison Committee to truly gather input from the community.

The Cariboo Regional

District Board has been receiving regular updates from the provincial ministries on the restart application and has been provided with the submissions made to government during the public consultation process.

A decision on the restricted restart of Mount Polley is expected to be rendered by the province by mid-July.

Health survey being conducted BC Women’s Hospital andHealth Centre, in collaboration with its research partners, has launched the Canadian Sexual Health Survey (CSHS). This research study is about sexual health and how women and girls access family planning knowledge, services and methods in their communities.

Healthcare professionals have been conducting surveys in person with invited, eligible girls and women aged 14 – 49 in communities across B.C. since winter 2014.

The CSHS began surveying in the Gold Pan City in June and will continue surveying in communities throughout summer 2015.

Households in communities across B.C. have been randomly selected to participate in this survey. If you have been selected and choose to participate, here is what you can expect: Selected households will receive an introduction letter prior to the survey.

The surveyor will then go door-to-door in various neighbourhoods to see which households have eligible*participants (female,

family issues in Supreme Court

Dealing with

aged 14-49) interested in participating.

At that time, eligible girls and women can decide if they would like to participate.

Participation in this survey is completely voluntary and all eligible women and girls can refuse to participate, choose not to answer a question, or stop the survey at any time. All participants are anonymous and all information collected is confidential.

Women and girls who are selected and choose to participate will be offered a $20 honorarium in compensation for the time they spend to assist us to better understand their experiences.

This research follows the highest academic and ethical standards and has been approved by the UBC-Children’s and Women’s Hospital Research Ethics Board and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research.

The research will be compiled and shared publically once it is complete. It is expected the research findings may assist healthcare professionals and policy-makers to best focus healthcare resources that will meet the

sexual health needs of women and girls.

BC Women’s Hospital and Health Centre is the province’s only facility dedicated to the health of women, newborns and families. It is one of the country’s busiest maternity centres, delivering more than 7,000 babies annually, and serves as the provincial resource for high-risk maternity care, as well as the centre for the largest neonatal intensive care unit in B.C. More than 50,000 women are seen annually through its specialized women and family programs, which include world-class services in medical genetics, HIV care, reproductive health, maternal substance dependency, osteoporosis and complex chronic diseases.

The Provincial Health Services Authority (PHSA) plans, manages and evaluates selected specialty and province-wide health care services across B.C., working with the five geographic health authorities to deliver province-wide solutions that improve the health of British Columbians.

Plenty to do in “Q-town”

The Red Chris mine near Iskut is moving to full operation on one of the world’s largest copper and gold deposits.

Ministry of Energy and Mines photo

Mining activity picking up in B.C. TOM FLETCHER Black Press

The Red Chris copper and gold mine in northwestern B.C. is ramping up production after overcoming protests, declining metal prices and three reviews of its tailings facility.

Imperial Metals received its Mines Act permit for Red Chris June 19, after additional scrutiny of the open-pit mine’s construction in the wake of the August 2014 tailings dam breach at the company’s Mount Polley mine near Williams Lake.

That breach triggered independent reviews of nearly 100 mine tailings ponds with permits across the province, looking for design or operational weaknesses that indicate risk.

The Tahltan Nation

commissioned its own assessment of Red Chris, located 18 km southeast of the Tahltan village of Iskut, before community members voted 87 per cent in favour of a benefits sharing agreement for the mine.

Powered by BC Hydro’s new northwest transmission line, the project will truck ore concentrate to the bulk shipping terminal at Stewart near the Alaska border.

Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett said mines like Red Chris can operate profitably even in the current low-price market for copper, if their processes are efficient. Imperial Metals conducted drill tests showing highergrade copper and gold deposits deep below the surface ore body.

BETTY ILENE CLARK

December 5th, 1930 ~ June 15th, 2015

Imperial has applied for a permit to reopen Mount Polley, using an empty pit to hold tailings as work continues to repair the dam and remediate the washed-out creek below. Bennett said inspectors are expected to make a decision on that permit in July.

Another mine expected to begin operation this summer is

Brucejack, an underground gold mine 275 km northwest of Smithers. Underground mines produce less waste rock than open-pit operations, and Brucejack’s owner Pretivm plan to return some of the rock underground as cemented paste.

Another underground mine preparing for operation

is Silvertip, an ore deposit near the Yukon border that was first identified in 1957. The province and the Kaska Dena First Nations signed an engagement agreement in 2012, determining a structure for resource permits for Silvertip and other projects covering millions of hectares in northern B.C.

I grew up in the slums of Glasgow, Scotland where our main entertainment involved sling shooting rats and playing in empty lots. I don’t remember having access to a playground and our football (soccer) pitches were simply open patches of dirt or grass.

This was pre-TV (yep, I’m that old); so, no video-games or binge-watching TV shows or movies. In short, we entertained ourselves with whatever was available and mostly outside.

So, I get a little annoyed when I see comments on Facebook or hear chatter on the street about there being “nothing to do in Quesnel.” This is, simply put, a ridiculous claim. Quesnel offers plenty of opportunities for people to be active, entertained, and engaged. It’s one of the many reasons my family has remained here over the past 30 years, despite having had opportunities to relocate.

The City’s recently released Master Parks Plan shows that Quesnel has more parks, playgrounds, green space and playing fields than most other communities in BC on a comparative basis. For example, we have four times more city park land per capita than the BC average. Also, the majority of Quesnel residents are well within the recommended 10 minute walking distance of a park or green space. We also boast 13 ball diamonds, compared to the five that similar sized communities generally have.

We also have an indoor and outdoor soccer complex, free tennis courts, a full recreation center with a pool, two arenas, a skateboard park, a bike park, a lawn bowling facility, a horseshoe pitch, a curling rink, a bowling alley, an Agriplex (with an indoor arena), rodeo grounds, and a diverse array of racetrack facilities for motorized sports. We have a phenomenal cross-country ski venue with well laid-out snow shoe trails and a full rental shop. Troll Resort is nearby and very affordable for downhill ski enthusiasts. The city is also surrounded by lakes and an extensive network of trails for cycling, running, hiking, horseback riding, and for ATV and snowmobile use.

Very few communities can boost such a complete list of venues and the opportunities they provide for individuals and families to “do something.”

To top all of this off, we have plenty of opportunities to enjoy festivals, art and cultural events, and heritage sites – most of which are either free or have a nominal cost.

Enjoy all that Quesnel has to offer this summer (and fall, winter, and spring). Don’t take what we have for granted. And, if you hear someone complaining that “there’s nothing to do in the Q,” take them by the hand and show them it ain’t true.

United we stand “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”

– Margaret Mead

B

ravo Quesnelians and Cariboo residents.

Last week’s announcement of UK company Reckitt Benckiser Inc. suspending buying Cariboo farmland for tree-planting in exchange for carbon credits is a huge coup to those not giving way to big business and the unfortunate “how do we fight this” mentality.

Communities across our beautiful province, specifically in the Peace, Prince George and the Cariboo (yah!) stood firm and united in their quest for government’s ear – and guess what? They listened.

It goes to show what we can do when we focus together on a common goal, that of protecting our land, our resources, our future.

“Our intent is to review all aspects of the program including land buying criteria,” Reckitt Benckiser Inc. spokesperson Lynn Kenney told Black Press.

“We will do so through discussions with stakeholders including provincial and local governments, community representatives, our suppliers and others with an interest in the program.”

Yeah that’s right, you review the crap outta this while residents give themselves a huge pat on the back.

Big shout out to NDP critic Lana Popham for holding a meeting in May for concerned farmers and residents and community leaders – including council, mayor and MLA Oakes.

But a big hells ya to those residents and farmers who stood united in their quest for change. It’s far too easy to give up, to feel as though no one would listen, or better yet truly hear you, but they did.

Don’t mess with Texas? Pffftt.

You’re in Cariboo country, son.

–Autumn MacDonald, Observer

The view from the East Coast I’ve just spent two weeks viewing events from the opposite side of Canada, in and around St. John’s Newfoundland. It’s the same country, but you wouldn’t know it sometimes.

Here on the West Coast, “kayaktivists” paddled around a Shell offshore oil drilling platform being serviced at Seattle, striking poses of resistance for the media from their petroleumbased watercraft.

Meanwhile at Bull Arm outside St. John’s, work continues on a massive “gravity-based structure” that will soon be drilling into the Hebron oilfield 350 km offshore. It will have living quarters and drill rig above and a tank with capacity for 1.2 million barrels of crude below.

Offshore oil has turned St. John’s into a boomtown.

With one industrial park nearing capacity on the edge of town, a second is under construction. Locals call it “Dannyland,” after its developer, former premier Danny Williams.

St. John’s Airport is buzzing with flights back and forth to Edmonton and Fort McMurray and crew helicopters shuttling back and forth from offshore oil rigs. Tourism is picking up,

A foreign supplier won a contract for tankers to bring oil ashore. With no mediaconnected environmental groups to steer the subject to far-fetched disaster scenarios, debate in the Newfoundland and Labrador legislature turned to concerns about maintaining local employment.

Outside the city, parallels with B.C. become evident.

Tiny towns struggle to hang on as young people choose opportunity over isolation, and the only expansion is at church graveyards. While cities struggle with high housing and recreational property costs, homes in remote areas are going for a song.

Up north in Labrador, a hydroelectric dam at

and large-scale liquefied natural gas export plans begin to take shape in B.C. With the legislature about to be recalled to endorse the Petronas-led LNG export project, Premier Christy Clark has assembled a climate action team with representatives from industry, First Nations, local governments and a couple of professional protesters for good measure.

They have an absurdly short deadline to recommend changes to B.C.’s token carbon tax, as gasoline consumption returns to pre-tax levels despite continued high pump prices.

In St. John’s, another long, cold winter has finally loosened its grip after piling snow to doorknob levels. Every street in sight is being patched and repainted.

The debate about new energy supplies has a more serious tone in Newfoundland.

The last elected premier, Kathy Dunderdale, lost her job in the wake of winter power blackouts.

Muskrat Falls is under construction. Its $8 billion estimated price tag is in the same range as BC Hydro’s Site C project on the Peace River, which will part a sea of protesters and lawyers and move ahead this summer. Nalcor Energy, Newfoundland’s electrical utility, is dipping into contingencies in an effort to keep it on time and on budget.

Here on the Left Coast, enviros and the Green Party rail against hydro as well as oil and gas and of course you can’t even mention nuclear.

Climate activism proceeds in a logical vacuum in these parts, as it often does in Europe.

Pondering science and spiritual

he Neanderthal and the early homo sapiens, who lived together on this earth about half a million years ago, left burial sites in Southern France and North Africa.

It is interesting that these old gravesites contained not only the person buried, but also items that would aid these people on their journey to the hereafter.

This time period is usually called “the Hunters and Gatherers” or the “Stone Age” and is one of the oldest time periods where cave paintings and other artifacts were found from

Letters to the Editor

Bert deVink

FROM WITHIN about 150,000 years ago.

From these cave drawings and other artifacts we have come to understand more how they lived, but not why they believed in a hereafter.

In many different cults and religions animal power and sacrifice were also present and that went

on for a long time. It is not that long ago that two scientists became aware that gorillas dance and jump in a frenzy during a thunderstorm.

Humans would also have been aware of the immense power of a thunder storm that came from the heavens. It is quite natural to think this power came from a God in the heavens who was to be feared, but although it is very possible, there is no positive proof.

Appeasing this unknown God with a sacrifice would be a logical conclusion, because sacrifice has been and still is common in human

stories. Early in the Bible Abraham was asked

by God to sacrifice his son, later in the New Testament God sacrifices his own son. It is known the Aztecs sacrificed humans and today we sacrifice many young people by sending them to war under the motto of freedom. In parts of the Muslim religion suicide bombing is allowed even today.

It is interesting that small parts of the animal power belief remains with names of cars like mustang, cougar and cobra, while in sports teams like the panthers, the black hawks, the

orioles. Almost half a million years of humans on earth, has produced volumes and volumes of both archeology and mythology research.

The overall picture is that over a very long time, humanity has gone through a lot of changes from body sizes to the way we think and live.

Yet some very old beliefs still exist. In the Muslim world where sacrifice still exists in the form of suicide bombers and in the Christian churches God is praised and thanked for sacrificing his Son. What I think is very strange, is that in one

of the Christian Church rituals, “the communion” the words spoken by the clergy when they hand out bread and wine are “Take this it is my body and drink this it is my blood.”

However I look at it, I can only see it as an indirect form of cannibalism.

For me it is strange to even think of eating human flesh.

Whatever the case, the existence and whereabouts of a hereafter remains a mystery.

Quesnel’s Filipino community celebrates independence

T

he Filipino Canadian Community of Quesnel (FCCQ) celebrated Philippine Independence Day June 13 – 14 on Legion Beach with festivities, feasting and fun.

The theme was freedom, culture and fun.

Independence for the Filipino nation was not easily achieved and although June 12, 1898 is considered by Filipinos to be the official date of their declared independence it wasn’t until July 4, 1946 when they truly gained their independence from the United States. The US has been instrumental in defeating the Spanish at the Battle of Manila in the final battle of the Spanish-American War. Although this ended 300 years of Spanish occupation of the Philippine archipelago when the US wrestled control from Spain just before the turn of the 20th century, the mighty Americans then assumed control over the fledgling nation, not relinquishing that control until just after the Second World War. Filipinos have always maintained their independence began on June 12, 1898 and so the celebration on Legion Beach commemorates 117 years of independence.

The celebration kicked off at 2 p.m. with a short ceremonial parade that marched slowly out Hydraulic Road heading to Legion Beach and was led by FCCQ president Jimmy Bautista, followed by officers and advisers of the community and Filipino-Canada families.

The program began with the unfurling of the Philippine and Canadian flags while the Canadian and Philippine National anthems were sung. Elenita Loureiro provided a brief historical background on the Philippine Independence.

The program culminates with a showcase of Filipino talents including folk dances and the Philippine national dance. Displayed for all to enjoy were exhibits of Filipino products and artifacts and a variety of sumptuous Filipino cuisine.

On the Sunday, it was a family day where everyone gathered to enjoy camping, games and pontoon riding on the lake.

This celebration was aimed at commemorating the Declaration of Philippine Independence and at the same time, promoting Philippine culture and building up camaraderie among the Filipino-Canadian families in Quesnel.

The celebration was enhanced by the efforts and creative mind of Ayana Einfield and many volunteers.

The Philippines, officially known as the Republic of the Philippines, is an island nation made of more than 7,107 islands comprising the Philippine Archipelago, located in Southeast Asia, with Manila as its capital city.

Filipinos around the world continue to exuberantly celebrate Philippine Independence Day June 12 and are proud and protective of their hard-fought independence.

Kenneth James Pollock July 30, 1950 – June 24, 2014 With great sadness, we announce Ken’s sudden passing after a very short diagnosis of cancer, at the Selkirk General Hospital.

Missing Ken very much is his wife Dianne. The day of Ken’s Memorial June 30, 2014, would have been their 40th Wedding Anniversary. Also missing Ken are Tom & Jean Pollock, Traverse Bay, MB; Nora & Earl Shermerhorn, Carseland, AB, Grace & Huntley O’Connor, Regina, SK; Delma & Ken LeBlanc, North Sidney, NS; as well as mother-in-law Anne Burla and Reg & Gloria Burla, Inglis, MB; Don & Jean Burla, Oakville, MB; Rob Burla, Calgary and Randy Burla, Victoria; as well as many nieces, nephews and cousins.

Ken was predeceased by his parents Rev. Thomas & Victoria Pollock, sister and niece Coralie & Lisa Schaay, father-in-law Neil Burla; also by many pets including their much loved “Furry child” Buddy.

Barkerville where Ken was self-employed in trucking and mining industries. Ken & Dianne enjoyed time at Northstar Baptist Church and Wells Community Church and their semi-retirement years in their log home east of Barkerville, and winters in Arizona & Maui; and more recently moving back to Manitoba near Grand Beach, MB. Ken’s strength, positive character and faith in God were with him to the very end, when he said “I’m ready to go…ready to meet Jesus”.

Ken’s wish was to be cremated, and his brother Tom carved a beautiful wooden box with scenes from Ken and Dianne’s life.

Pastor Alex Cross performed the Memorial Service at their Church, Wayside Gospel Chapel, Grand Marais, MB.

Ken was born in Norway House, and met Dianne, the new teacher, at Wabowden, MB. where he operated Kendale Bus Lines Ltd.

CAPSULE COMMENTS With Jessica Joly B.Sc. (Pharm)

Sunburns can be painful and damaging to the skin in the long term. A few tips on treating a sunburn: Move to a cool place; have a cool shower then apply a moisturizing cream and drink plenty of water. You can take an age-appropriate dose of ibuprofen to help with the inflammation and pain. Best way to prevent a sunburn: use a good sunscreen and avoid those hot times of day from 11 to 4.

Just as water under too much pressure can damage a hose, if our blood pressure gets too high, it can damage the “hoses” carrying the blood around our bodies. Blood pressure in men starts to rise around the age of 45 and if left untreated can cause heart attack and stroke as well as cause damage to our kidneys. Men, if you haven’t had your blood pressure checked lately, get it done soon.

It’s been said that 60% of Alzheimer case are preventable. Here are a few ways: exercise your brain and your body by learning another language, challenge your body by using the opposite hand for teeth or hair brushing.

Get a good night’s sleep every night and keep your levels of stress to a minimum. Also, keep socially stimulated and involved in your community.

The allergy season is here again. If you are an allergy-sufferer, we invite you to use the knowledge of our pharmacist staff to help you choose an antihistamine that is appropriate for your medical condition and relieve the allergies as well. This is especially important if you are a senior. Use our knowledge to increase your knowledge about the medications you use.

Gourmet pairings for your grilling this summer Summer is barbecue season in Canada. It’s a time for friends, family and neighbours to gather on patios across the land to enjoy the outdoors, as well as sumptuous meals prepared on millions of barbecues across the country.

Nothing tastes better on the barbecue than authentic European, naturally smoked sausages like Knackwurst, Grillwurst, or Bratwurst.

While sauerkraut and grainy mustard are classic accompaniments, Piller’s corporate chef, Darryl Fletcher - Chef D, also recommends gourmet, homemade pairings for the barbecued sausages that will appeal to the sausage gourmand. His tasty toppings include warm carrot and onion slaw, celery root sauté, and roasted garlic aioli, and his specialty, a paprika glaze for sausage kebobs.

There are several ideal drink pairings that go best with the company’s fully cooked sausages. Beer and sausage are a natural fit. Chef D suggests selecting a Golden Pilsner to go

with Bratwurst and Grillwurst sausages, and a Pale Lager which pairs well with Knackwurst. For white wine, he advises that a Riesling with just a hint of sweetness pairs nicely, and for red wine, a Zinfandel.

In order to best utilize these pairings, know the difference between the types of sausages you choose.

Bratwurst, which originates from southwest Germany, is made from coarsely ground pork seasoned with marjoram and butcher pepper.

Knackwurst is a short, plump Frankfurter-style sausage made from finely chopped pork, well spiced with coriander and pepper, and named for the “knack” meaning “crack” in German—a reference to the tendency of the natural casing to snap or crack when you bite into it.

These drink and side dish pairings are the perfect accompaniment to the smoky, succulent flavour of sausage that will be a surefire hit at your next family barbeque.

Spice things up with grilled jalapeno mozzarella poppers Bring sophistication to a pub-style favourite by saying goodbye to the deep fryer and firing up the barbecue.

Grilling jalapenos brings out their sweetness to counter the spice, which complements the rich flavours of mozzarella and bacon.

Grilled Jalapeno Mozzarella Poppers Prep time: 15 minutes Grilling time: 10 minutes Makes 12 poppers Ingredients: • 2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil • 1 clove garlic, minced • 1 tsp (5 ml) lime zest, finely grated • ¼ tsp (1 ml) each salt and ground pepper • 12 jalapenos, halved and seeded • 6 oz (175 g) Saputo Mozzarellissima cheese, cut into twelve ½ –inch (1-cm) by 2-inch (5-cm) pieces • 2 tbsp (30 ml) cilantro, finely chopped • 6 slices bacon, halved lengthwise Directions: 1. Preheat grill to medium-high and grease grates well.

Combine olive oil with garlic, lime zest, salt and pepper; brush over cut sides of jalapenos. Stuff one piece of Mozzarellissima into half of the jalapenos and top with cilantro; cap each with an empty jalapeno half.

Wrap each pair with a piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick.

2. Place on grill and cook covered, turning occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes or until bacon is lightly crisped.

3. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to cook covered for 5 minutes, or until the cheese starts to melt and the jalapeno is tender. Transfer to a paper towellined plate to remove excess grease, then serve.

PLAN NUMBER 7-3-945 FAMILY HOME WITH WOODWORK

ALL DESIGNS, PLANS AND RENDERINGS © COPYRIGHT JENISH HOUSE DESIGN LIMITED

The archway over the front entrance, a deep front porch, the curved extension of the highest gable and the decorative woodwork that frames the mullioned windows, all lend this three-bedroom family home an air of Victorian charm.

A covered porch leads through the front door into a large foyer. A den is on the right, adjacent to a two-piece powder room. A coat closet is situated near the entrance to the great room.

Fitted into a bayed-out space near the back of the house, the great room boasts a dramatic vaulted ceiling, as well as a fireplace. Flowing seamlessly from this room is the dining room, occupying its own bayed-out area, which has access to a covered deck, the perfect spot for year-round barbecuing.

The kitchen is separated from the other family rooms only by a raised eating bar and island, ensuring the cook will never feel isolated. The Lshaped counter configuration promises more than adequate work space, and a pantry provides extra storage. A window over the kitchen sink overlooks the back garden.

From the kitchen, a doorway leads to a spacious laundry room, with a coat closet located near the entrance to the double garage, where there is enough room for a sizeable workshop. Part of the garage has an extra-high ceiling, ideal for an RV or other over-height vehicle.

Up the U-shaped stairway, a railed vestibule area allows a glimpse of the great room below.

The master suite, overlooking the back garden, features a large walk-in closet. The en-suite, in MAIN FLOOR PLAN a bayed-out area, offers a touch of luxury in the 1157 SQ. FT. (107.5 M2) form of a shower stall and a soaker tub, plus 9'-0" CEILING HEIGHT double basins.

The second and third bedrooms share a bathroom, also with double basins. The third bedroom features a window with an extra-deep sill.

SECOND FLOOR PLAN Exterior finishes include wooden shingles, painted 1073 SQ. FT. (99.7 M2) WIDTH - 45'- 4" (13.8 M) trim, decorative wooden detailing and stone acDEPTH - 57'- 0" (17.4 M) cents.

Tip of the Month Most new builds require electrical outlet boxes to be placed 12" off the floor. Adding an extra 4" and placing them 16" inches high, however, can be a lot more convenient and will not affect the look of the room. It's also useful to think about where furniture will be located and place the outlets accordingly; for instance, directly behind side tables instead of behind the sofa, to avoid running unsightly cords along walls unnecessarily.

How to host the ultimate pet paw-ty Summer is the perfect time to celebrate, so why not let your pet in on the fun? Here are some ideas for hosting a party for your dog: • Let dogs own the pool – since this party is for those with four legs, let them into the pool.

Owners can fill a kiddie or doggie pool with fresh water and let their pet jump in and out as they please. This will help keep dogs cool while they enjoy the party.

• Give out pet loot bags – loot bags can include personalized Frisbees, wet and dry treats and toys.

• Have a pet food buffet – set up a buffet with both types of food to give your friends options and make pets happy. If you’re new to mixed feeding or unsure of how to offer it to your pets, more information is available at www.petmixedfeeting.ca.

“Not only is mixed feeding great for your pet, it is also easy,” says Dr. Jeff Werber, a celebrity veterinarian.

“There is no wrong way to mix feed – as long as your pet is getting at least some wet and some dry food in a week, you are mixed feeding correctly.”

• Provide enough space to run – the best party will be one where the dogs have the space to run and play with one another. If you don’t have an enclosed space, consider hosting your friends (four-legged and otherwise) at the local dog park.

They’ll get time to play and you’ll have time to chat.

Plan reliable care when pets can’t travel with you As you count down the days until summer vacation, it’s important to prepare a great little ‘staycation’ if your family pet is not taking the trip with you.

If you’re not sure where to start, check off the following items on any to-do list and enjoy a guilt-free getaway knowing your furry friend is in good hands: • Explore pet-care options: if you’re planning a long trip, you may want to consider a local boarding kennel or hiring a pet-sitter. Ask your friends or vet for references, and make sure to book early as spots fill up quickly during the summer.

• Bring information with you: if you’re hiring a sitter, make sure your pet’s ID tags are up to date so you can be contacted in case of an emergency. Also bring your pet’s vaccination records plus the phone number for your vet.

• Hungry pets are not happy pets: to prevent changing their daily diet, leave behind a feeding schedule for the care giver. This ensures uniformity with the wet and dry food. While there is no wrong way to integrate wet and dry food, consistency will be important to minimize anxiety for your pets. More information is available at www.petmixedfeeding.ca.

• Don’t take that shirt: leave behind an old t-shirt that has your scent so your dog feels reassured. If you do this, check with the boarding kennel about any restrictions.

• Check your house for signs of danger: if your pet will remain in your home, unplug electrical appliances and remove light bulbs that might get knocked over in your absence.
