Developers of Maryland Estates have come under fire from the city for altering wetlands near Jubilee Parkway. Council has ordered the developers – Parkway Properties Ltd. – to either remediate the wetlands or pay some form of compensation to make up for the damage caused by dumping soil on the property. The movement of soil began in early 2007 to make way for development. Dan Samson, director of Parkway Properties, said all parties involved in the development are Campbell River residents who had no ill intentions and didn’t realize they were doing anything wrong. “When we looked at the property route, Willow Creek Road south of Jubilee, there was a depression. We checked the area and there was no fish habitat, no inlet or outlet

Wetlands: Developer willing to make redress

involved,” Samson told council at its meeting Monday night. “In our opinion this was simply just another depression with poor drainage. There was a similar-sized wetland in the Maryland subdivision that the city approved for elimination when the first phase of that subdivision was approved. We did not think the area that we were continuing to fill was any different. On that basis, we made the decision that as we developed the northern portion of the property, we would excavate at the same time, the poor material from this wetland with the good materials so it’d make a suitable road base. We started this work in early 2007, we basically finished in 2012.” Samson said he wasn’t aware anything was amiss until he got a call from the city on March 14, 2014 requesting immediate cessation of moving further materials from the north portion of the property to the south portion. “We were surprised at the call as we were not aware we were doing anything incorrectly,” Samson said. “Nevertheless, we consider ourselves good corporate citizens and agreed there would be no more movement of soil.” And that’s when it appears a misunderstanding took root. City issues cease and desist letter A letter from the city’s former planning manager, Ross Blackwell, states that “such deposition shall not be resumed unless/until a development permit has been applied for and issued and further that a soil deposition permit has been applied for and issued. Failure to do so may result in the city taking further action, including legal action.”

Samson then replied in an email to Blackwell that Parkway did not intend to move any further material but confirmed it would apply for the permits should it wish to do so. Samson said after that, Parkway heard nothing from the city until it received a letter on May 28, 2014.

Contravening Local Government Act That letter, also from Blackwell, accuses Parkway of “altering the subject land” and being in “contravention of the Local Government Act and the Offence Act.” Blackwell then wrote that the city was prepared to consider, on a without-prejudice basis, a retrospective application for a development permit and soil deposition permit. Blackwell also ordered Parkway to deliver a report from a qualified environmental professional stating the former and present environmental characteristics of the site, the changes and impacts, and a plan of remediation. Samson said Parkway, after receiving the letter, moved to meet the demands of the letter and met with city staff. “At this meeting, one of the things discussed at length was compensation for the loss of the wetland in the event remediation was not practical,” Samson said. “City staff agreed that was a viable option and said it did not necessarily have to be within our property. They also mentioned this compensation could be financial contributions to organizations that do environmental work in our community.” Consultant takes the reins Samson said in August, 2014, Parkway hired a consultant to come up with a remediation plan. The city decided to hold

off until November 20 to give the consultant time. But in a letter to Samson dated March 11, 2015, the city’s Amber Zirnhelt, who took over for Blackwell, writes that progress has been slow and tries to push the issue along. “While you have cooperated with the city’s requests on this matter, progress has been slow and deadlines have been missed,” she wrote, noting that an engineer hired by Parkway to survey the area revealed that “drainage patterns have been altered, with deep ditches draining both surface water and groundwater, with the effect of lowering the water table.” Zirnhelt wrote that the city “expects, therefore, that remediation will involve reversing the illegal drainage work, such that the site can retain water.” She also requested in that letter that the city receive a comprehensive

site restoration plan by Wednesday, April 15, 2015. Samson responds in a letter hand delivered to the city on May 12, 2015 that “Parkway Properties acknowledges that we have made changes to this area and has no intention of ignoring any of its responsibilities.” He added that, “the work required in exploring all the alternatives is complicated and a time consuming process requiring at least six months to complete.” But city staff appeared to be losing patience and in a June 15 in-camera report to city council, staff said that their attempts to work with the owner of the property have not resulted in “satisfactory progress. Formal action is therefore considered necessary to bring this issue to resolution.”

On July 21, 2015, solicitors for the city delivered a Remedial Action Requirement (RAR) to Parkway Properties ordering remediation be performed by Oct. 26 or the city would take legal action. Samson said the delay was not the fault of Parkway but rather the consultant’s who promised he would have a remediation plan completed by April, 2015 only to later tell Parkway he would need until December, 2015. Samson said on May 12, 2015 Parkway ended its relationship with the consultant. “Any deadlines missed were not the result of Parkway dragging its feet but rather the result of short deadlines that the various consultants either would not, or could not, meet,” Samson said at Monday’s council meeting. “Needless to say, we were extremely shocked and disappointed to be served with the July 21, 2015 RAR when we had received no communication from the city since our May 12, 2015 letter.” On Monday before council, Samson requested council grant an extension on the remedial action plan until November 30.

Option one is remediation of the previous wetland, which according to a biologist’s report, has seen vegetation removed, soil deposited, and ditches excavated. As a result, the original plant community and drainage patterns have been altered. “If the current wetlands are to persist, drainage from the site must be slowed dramatically,” wrote biologist Michele Jones of Mimulus Biological Consultants. “This would include the complete blockage and filling of all ditches within the site.” Option two is to remediate a former wetland that was adversely affected by construction of Jubilee Parkway, just east of the bridge over Willow Creek. Option three is to enhance lands located at the southwest corner of Parkway’s property, which would enhance the water flow and habitat of Woods Creek. That option, however, requires the cooperation of TimberWest which currently owns the property. And finally, option four involves dedicating additional lands adjacent to Willow Creek in order to enhance the park network and protect the creek. “Two of these options would enhance Woods Creek and introduce red-listed plants that

were destroyed – sedge, trembling Aspen and the Pacific crab apple,” Samson said. Council, after listening to Samson’s presentation agreed to the deadline extension. Coun. Larry Samson, who is related to Dan Samson, did not vote as he excused himself from council chambers before Samson’s presentation began, citing a conflict of interest. “I believe the delegation is sincere in delivering a solution which is a win-win for their development, the community and the environment,” said Coun. Ron Kerr. Mayor Andy Adams said he believes the Parkway crew means well. “We appreciate the initial comments you began the presentation with, both you, Mr. (George) Stuart (president of Parkway Properties) and Mr. Samson, have been components to the development of Campbell River and we are very appreciative of that,” Adams said. “I think that’s important. We look forward to a resolution to this.” Samson agreed. “Hopefully we will have a solution that can be endorsed by both parties,” Samson said. “We do not believe that the best result can be achieved for any of us through legal action and we would like to avoid this.”

Seeking refuge for her family KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Not a phone call goes by that Merell Awad doesn’t end the conversation with an ‘I love you’ to her mother. She knows it could be the last time she talks to her ailing mother who lives in Syria under the threat of attack. “I talk to her every day, we say ‘I love you’ and we don’t know if we’ll talk again,” Awad says. “Every day you deal with that.” Awad, co-owner of Campbell River’s BaBa Gannouj restaurant, wrestles with the fear and anxiety that comes with knowing her family is stuck in war-torn Syria. She says the attacks are getting closer to her family’s hometown and recently the windows of her mother’s home were blown out. “Two rockets landed near her house,” Awad says. “All the glass is broken but she’s safe. “ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham) is 10 minutes away from my city, you don’t know when it’s going to hit,” she adds. “A lot of rockets have landed. Lately, a rocket landed in a school not far from my niece’s school. It’s very stressful.” That’s in Latakia – which is considered the safest area of Syria. “Latakia is not safe, but it’s the safest place in Syria,” Awad says. Her mother, who is in her 70s, has one leg and heart problems, is just one of 12 family members Awad and her husband, Fouad, are trying to bring to Canada as the civil war in Syria rages on. “ISIS is killing almost anyone who isn’t with them, so we’re trying to help the kids, women, and a couple of men,” Awad says. “One is my mom, she needs medical care, my two sisters, their kids (each has two), their husbands and two cousins. A friend is stuck in Jordan.” Ironically, one of those children is Awad’s nephew, Elias, whom Campbell Riverites rallied to raise money for five years ago so he could receive a kidney transplant when he was just 10 years old. “That kid the community helped needs help again to survive,” Awad says. Her nephew needs life-long medication and because of the drug

the authority to sponsor refugees, has agreed to help the Awads and, along with help from the community, is trying to raise a minimum of $150,000 to bring Awad’s 12 family members to Campbell River. That will sponsor the families for roughly a year, paying for their rent, Hydro, food and other integration costs. Cook says this will

be the local Anglican church’s fourth successful sponsorship. The church has also sponsored refugees from Pakistan, Bosnia and Kosovo. Awad calls Cook her “angel” and is positive she will soon see her family again. To help them raise their $150,000 goal, the Awads, with the help of the Anglican church and

other members of the community, are hosting a fundraiser on Saturday, Oct. 3 at the Community Centre. The event features a silent auction, a traditional Syrian dinner and belly dancing. Tickets, available at Bab Gannouj, are $40 per adult and $10 for children under 12. The doors open at 6 p.m., with dinner being served at 7 p.m.

shortage in Syria, it’s becoming increasingly difficult for his parents to secure the medication he needs. “Because of the lack of medication, sometimes they get medication that’s expired,” Awad says. On top of the medicine shortage, food is also hard to come by. Awad’s family has become victim to astronomical price hikes in Latakia. Awad desper-

ately wants to help her family escape Syria. Enter Tom Hartz, a loyal BaBa Gannouj customer. He’s also familiar with strife and struggle. He worked in Nepal during a civil war. He worked in China and saw those around him struggling to find enough to eat. His wife’s family hosted Vietnamese immigrants in the 70s and 80s, helping them get accustomed to Cana-

dian life and soften their landing on our shores. “I just have an interest in helping people,” Hartz says. So Hartz approached the local Anglican Church, which he’d heard had been involved with refugee and immigration issues in the past. Awad soon met Mary Cook, a parishioner at St. Peter’s Anglican church, and things took off. The church, which has

Recycling bins at Strathcona Gardens to get the axe

Rec ycling bins at Strathcona Gardens will be removed but the depot at the Sportsplex will stay – at least for now. Jesse Lee, manager of Comox Strathcona Waste Management operations, said his staff is putting forward a recommendation to the Comox Strathcona Solid Waste board to keep at least one of the free community recycling depots. “Our recommendation to the board is that we would close the Strathcona Gardens one, keep the Sportsplex one until further notice,” said Lee. That provides a bit more certainty than the previous plan to remove

the bins at Strathcona Gardens this fall and at the Sportsplex following the city’s introduction of curbside recycling at multi-family complexes. But at Monday’s council meeting, Lee and Marc Rutten, general manager of engineering services for the Comox Valley Regional District, said they had a change of heart. “I think we recognized in the preparation of this report (to the solid waste board) and in conversations that we should move more slowly and make sure the city does have its needs met,” Rutten said. The Strathcona Gardens bins, however, are

still on the chopping block as a cost-saving measure for the Comox Valley Regional District, which operates the Comox Strathcona Waste Management Service. The Strathcona Gardens bins, which take in 366 tonnes of recyclables per year, and the ones at the Sportsplex, which collect 352 tonnes per year, cost approximately $149,000 annually to operate. Of that, $36,000 is spent on clean-up due to misuse of the facilities, Lee said. “Garbage is routinely dropped off at the depots, including hazardous waste, furniture and household refuse,” wrote Lee in a report earlier this year to the waste

management board. “The abuse contributes to higher costs and neighbourhood complaints as a result of depot conditions. Unfortunately, residents use these depots as transfer stations and routinely drop off waste and other inappropriate materials. “It’s kind of common to get chemicals dropped off,” Lee told city council. “We also get vandalism. Two bins were lit on fire (at the Sportsplex) two years ago at Christmastime.” Lee said in the absence of the bins at Strathcona Gardens, residents who live in the central and downtown areas of the city can use the Island

Larry Samson said that’s not the same and it’s not as convenient. “It’s at the north end of town and it’s not readily available to the family who wants to do their recycling at night because they work all day,” Samson said. “They have to put the material on a cart, wheel it in and wait for someone to approach them – it’s not as handy.” The other option is the Multi-Material B.C. facil-

wanted assurance that if the bins at Strathcona Gardens are going to go, that the ones at the Sportsplex do in fact remain in tact. “Can you confirm that it is in the plan to keep Willow Point open indefinitely?” Adams asked. After a lengthy pause, Rutten spoke up. “I think indefinitely is a long time,” he said. “It will not be closed until there is further discussion with the solid waste board, so there’s no imminent plan to close it,” Rutten said.

Now, that’s my kind of fundraiser

Last weekend I had the privilege of attending the Hospital Foundation’s “Golf. Because You Care” fundraising golf tournament, and I have to say: THAT is how a fundraiser should be run. I mean, I’m obviously a bit biased. I make no secret about being a big fan of hitting a little white ball with a funny looking stick, but it wasn’t the fact that I was getting to play a round of golf on a course consistently ranked in the top-5 on Vancouver Island (and has been on at least one “Best in Canada” list) that made the day so great. It was everything else. I didn’t eat breakfast before heading down to Storey Creek that morning. But as I walked in the door, I was greeted not only by the smiling faces of the volunteers, but also a table of muffins, fruit, drinkable yogurt and coffee. I fixed myself a coffee and grabbed a muffin, checked in with the organizers, who gave me my starting hole so I could put my clubs on the cart

The Tour de Rock is not a race, it’s a ride, but then again, maybe it is a race – if not to beat cancer, then to try. Twenty-one benevolent, brave, fit riders will set out Saturday (Sept. 19) on the Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock, a two-week cycling journey from the north end of Vancouver Island, to points west, then all the way to the southernmost shore. The participants – 17 police officers, three members of the military and a media rider – will pedal to checkpoints along the way, not in a cycle sprint to the finish, but as a team. They’re not out to win any yellow jerseys, rather, they’re supporting, together, the yellow daffodil that symbolizes the Canadian Cancer Society and its good work its endless task. We say: Let’s give and The Cops for Cancer’s the Tour de Rock efforts have raised $20 since the ride’s a big welcome on million inception in 1998. That Tuesday money can and will make a difference, going not only to programs for children with cancer and their families, but also to pediatric cancer research. There are a few ways that we, as a community, can be part of the Tour de Rock as it passes through Campbell River on Tuesday. The first is to donate to the fundraising efforts, either by attending the beer and burger night at Boston Pizza, or stopping by Spirit Square to support the riders during a community head shave. The other way we can help is simply to watch for the tour that day, yield the right-of-way, and offer our smiles, waves, thumbs-up and encouragement. Because they’re pedalling toward something good and true and worthy. There are sick kids here, and elsewhere, and it will forever be so, and we will be the ones who must care for them and care about them. Let’s cheer on the Cops for Cancer as they complete the Tour de Rock. Let’s cheer on the members of this team, the home team, our team, as they ride, and in a way, race. -Black Press

Sure, I love it even more when it involves golf, but that wasn’t the important part. The important part is that our locals sure do come together to support our own – and others. We are a kind and generous community full of loving and thoughtful people who want to help each other. How I felt when I left the course that day was echoed the next afternoon by retired DFO community advisor Barry Peters as he accepted the city’s 2015 Environmental Excellence award. “It’s one of the things, I think, that Campbell River is known for,” Peters said. “When things have to be done, you can always just ask around and people show up.” They sure do, Barry. Well done, Campbell River. Keep it up.

Most of my freezer contents were moved to friends’ homes, and my garden shed became my refrigerator.

School is back in session, which means that school district administrators and trustees have been back at work making sure things go smoothly. According to Tom Longridge, superintendent of School District 72 (SD72), who addressed the board of trustees at the first public meeting of the school year Tuesday night, it’s too early in the year to get ahead of themselves, but he is happy with how the year has started. “This time last year, we weren’t able to meet, because we were in job action,” Longridge said. “It’s nice to be able to

actually open the schools in September this year, and it’s gone really well. “All in all, everybody’s getting settled in, and it was a tremendous start.” The school year opened – before the kids headed to class – with three professional development days for teachers and staff prior to the first day of instruction. This was a first for the district, and Longridge said it was a risk that really paid off. One of those days, Longridge told the board, saw 40 community organizations set up tables throughout the Timberline gym to network and increase communication between the schools and other community services.

“We’ve heard nothing but wonder f u l responses,” Longridge said. “It was about looking at how we are doing in improving our connections within the community, and it seems to be the consensus that it really worked.” Trustee Joyce McMann echoed those sentiments. “It was quite different from everything we’ve done in the past in terms of that ‘kick-off ’ Pro-D day,” she said. “It really had an energy to it that I think was distinctive to anything we’ve done before. And the people around the room who were there representing their piece of the community, I think really felt some excitement about being connected in that

way to the school district. It was terrific.” So how are the numbers? The district gets its core funding from the government based on enrolments, so that’s a key piece of the equation when determining the state of the operation. “Let’s say I’m cautiously optimistic,” Longridge said. “It looks like we’re going to be up about 50 more students than we projected, which is good because we thought we were going to be slightly below last year’s enrolment, but it looks like we’ll be close if not above.” The influx of students seems to be mainly in early grades, Longridge said, but the figures haven’t been finalized yet. “We still have to sort that out. We seem to be higher in elementary,” Longridge told the board when asked where these additional students came from. “We’ve certainly reorganized some staffing to accommodate schools that needed it in order to create some space.

With the doors opening at 6:30 p.m. and movies starting at 7 p.m., patrons have time to gather in the lobby before the movie to enjoy a glass of wine and visit with friends and other moviegoers. The festival is a successful partnership that was established 19 years ago with the Toronto International Film Festival film circuit. This partnership allows the Campbell River group to book films and shorts directly from Toronto that would not normally make their way to Campbell River movie theatres.

ocal painters who want to develop their acrylic painting techniques might want to consider joining artist Jill Paris Rody for an upcoming workshop at the Campbell River Art Gallery. “Acrylic Painting: From Practiced Beginners to Early Intermediate” is a program aimed at students who have previously taken Paris Rody’s classes, or have had some intermediate studies in mixing colours with a basic palette. The class will run for four sessions Wednesday Sept. 30, Oct. 7, Oct. 14 and Oct. 28 from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Campbell River Art Gallery studio.

Earlier this week, North Island–Powell River NDP candidate Rachel Blaney invited those affected by Canada Post’s decision to end home delivery to her campaign office to discuss their concerns. Campbell River is one of the first communities being phased out under Canada Post’s new system of replacing home delivery with community mailboxes, and the issue has been a contentious one ever since the announcement. Blaney was joined by house leader of the official opposition Peter Julian (MP New Westminster–Burnaby) who was on hand as part of his tour of Vancouver Island to spread the NDP platform and lend support to various ridings’ candidates where he could. “We spent some time talking to people who are being directly affected by these cuts – whether because they’re not getting their mail delivered or because they’re losing their job,” Blaney said after the forum. She says the cuts made by Canada Post are too deep and are negatively affecting the public while the company continues to show profit. “Canada Post is making $200-million in profit while over five million households are losing their service. No other business would ever raise prices and cut service and expect people to be okay with that,” Blaney says. And she thinks people should be considering these issues when deciding who to vote for in October. The two recurring themes that come up in conversation with the public while Blaney canvasses her riding, she says, are jobs and the environment. “And this falls under jobs,” she says. “These are good paying jobs that are going to be gone from within the community, which means less money is flowing around… that’s something I’m hearing even from small business owners. They’re upset, not only that they won’t be getting their mail, but because the loss of these jobs will mean less money is circulating within the community.” Blaney says an NDP government, if elected, will reverse the cuts to Canada Post’s service

levels and restore doorto-door delivery. Local Green Party of Canada candidate Brenda Sayers says she was also, “deeply disappointed,” when she heard of the cuts being made to Canada Post and is concerned that the elderly and disabled of our society will be losing a “vital service for them.” “Our commitment is to not only reverse the cuts to Canada Post, but to also diversify the services they offer to make them more sustainable,” Sayers says, noting that many European postal services have started successfully diversifying into insurance, banking and other sectors to be profitable. Sayers also feels the cuts continue what seems like the Conservative government’s commitment to increasing the seclusion of remote communities who depend on services like Canada Post and the CBC – which has also

been seeing deep cuts – to remain connected. Laura Smith, North Island–Powell River candidate for the Conservative Party of Canada, disagrees. “Canada Post has an obligation to Canadians to balance their books and not being a burden on the taxpayers,” Smith says, adding the fact that Canada Post delivered 1.4-billion fewer letters in 2014 than they did in 2006 shows that Canadians are communicating differently these days, and it’s up to the company to adapt to that new reality. “I think (the move to community mailboxes is) a reasonable response to the changing way that people communicate,” Smith says. “The NDP plan is going to cost half a billion dollars. Where is that money going to come from? It’s going to come from you and me.” She says if the options are either spending $500-million or walking

across the street to get her mail, she’ll take the latter. L ib era l c andid ate Peter Schwarzhoff says his party agrees with the NDP and Greens that the cuts seem unnecessary, but the Liberals can’t commit to rolling them back until they have the information they need to make that decision. “We keep getting different numbers from different people,” Schwarzhoff says in regards to Canada Post’s expenses and revenues. He says their platform is that they would just like to take a breath and have a good hard look at things before making any concrete decisions on the matter. “I would like to see the cuts rolled back, personally, but we can’t commit to that as a party until we get the actual numbers. What we’re calling for is a moratorium on the cuts so we can examine the business case. We just want to say, ‘Stop right where you are and let’s have a look at this.’” Blaney says that the NDP’s commitment to restoring Canada Post’s previous levels of service is another example of how her party listens to public concern. “More than anything,” Blaney says, “people are just wanting to see more from their government.” Schwarzhoff agrees that there needs to be much more accountability in government and public consultation before major decisions like this are made. To those who say it would be wasteful to reinstate previous service levels after spending the money on the rollout of the new community mailboxes, Blaney says that’s not the issue. “What’s wasteful is losing these good paying jobs from within our community,” she says. “What’s wasteful is taking away services for Canadians who rely on them.” QUESTIONS?...If you have a question you would like the candidates to address at the upcoming All Candidates Meeting, submit them to editor@campbellrivermirror.com. A selection of the questions will be put before the candidates at the forum on Thursday Oct. 8 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Tidemark Theatre and is sponsored by the Campbell River Mirror, the Tidemark Theatre and the Chamber of Commerce.

They came in Waves towards the GH Bayside Tigers’ net in Saturday’s Division 2 Island Soccer League opener, a 7-0 shellacking by the Cermaq City Wave FC.

Wave swamps Tigers in opener C

ermaq City Wave FC kicked off the regular season this past weekend in a Vancouver Island Soccer League Division Two matchup, hosting GH Bayside Tigers at Willow Point Sportsplex. Saturday was once again another sunny day which made for a pleasant game for the local supporters. Cermaq enjoyed a successful start to the season with a convincing victory. Cermaq City got off to a very quick start and were up 3-0 within the first 10 minutes off goals from forwards Matt Wooff and Shane Dumanoir. The first three goals came off some creative passing and movement from the Cermaq attackers, leaving

Dumanoir and Wooff with relatively open chances in front of the Tigers keeper. Midfielder Eddie Lawson tallied the fourth goal with a smashing strike from 20 yards out which left the keeper with little chance. Cermaq newcomer Bailey Gardner would add the last goal of the first half with some great hustle resulting in a partial breakaway that he was able to convert. In the second half, the GH side showed character and kept battling back. A number of long balls were knocked in behind the Cermaq defence, but few shots on goal were generated. The rotating Cermaq defenders, consisting of Grootenboer, Anthony Seville, Ray Wilson, Eric Roberts, Peter

McWilliams and John Jepson, provided reliable defending and were able to move the ball up quickly after the Tigers attempts forward. Cermaq would add four more goals with hattricks for both

Dumanoir and Wooff. McWilliams added the final goal getting his foot on the ball during a scramble in the 18 yard box, putting it past the Tigers keeper. Cermaq’s next game is away to Nanaimo

United FC on Saturday Sept. 19. Both teams are coming off lopsided victories which should make for an exciting game as they try to gain another valuable three points in the standings.

With the hot days of summer gone, the trout lakes in the Campbell River area can be very fishable this time of year.

lake. Check regulations for a bait ban and trout more than 53 cms must be released. Anyone can register for the derby by coming down to the cabin located by the floating dock. Some of the past trout anglers who have fished the derby before have been pre fishing the lake and I expect some nice fish coming in to be weighed.

The upper elevation lakes have seen a dusting of snow in the past few weeks and the anglers that go after trout can be in for a great day of action. I had a chance to get to Echo lake at about four in the afternoon and see the hatch all over the lake. Trout were surfacing in all areas of the lake and the trout surfacing finally slowed down after two hours. Both Echo and Maple lake will be stocked in the first week in October and if the weather stays the way it is with rain and warm temperatures carrying over, fish will be available to catch and the size can surpass 2 pounds easily. Two small lakes in the backside of Echo are fishable and the better spots are on the far end of the lake and those fishing the roadside areas will have little access to the trout but it’s fishable from shore. I have been at Roberts Lake for the past three years in mid September and the family fun fishing derby will start this Saturday at 6 a.m. and continue until

Catherine Welsh caught this beauty on the lower Campbell. 4 p.m. The weather can be a factor but the third week in September has been favourable and that means families getting out and enjoying fishing from a boat, shore or the fishing ramp on the south end of the lake. Last year, more than 80 people registered for the derby and a number of newcomers will be fishing this year. Lorna Duncan who walks the lake daily has seen large trout in the shallows and while the fish are in the 1.5 to 2 pound size, they can be caught in 20 feet of water. There are ome large fish are in the

The catch report at Painters Lodge has Fred Moreno with a 20-pound spring and Noreen Selvais with a coho and a spring. Jenny Evans got a 10 and 17 pound spring. Most salmon are between 11 and 22 pounds. In the mix this time of year are large northern coho and lings. Painters closes for the season Oct. 12.

The pinks are dark in the Campbell River and a number of trout can be caught in the upper pools. A limited number of steelhead are in and can be caught on a fly. More rain is needed to get river levels up in the area.
