The city continues to work with geotechnical engineers to further investigate the slide, and the State of Local Emergency (SOLE) remains in place while the investigation is underway. Under BC’s Emergency Program Act, a declared SOLE gives the city the authority to cause the evacuation of persons from the area and enter the impacted area.

“Thank you to the residents of the affected buildings for their patience and cooperation as the city completed the necessary work to ensure it was safe to return to the site. We are extremely glad that residents were able to return to their homes over the weekend,” says Drew Hadfield, Director of Operations. “I’d also like to thank the supporting agencies, staff and volunteers for their incredible efforts to make the return happen as efficiently

as possible.” The city will provide updates as the investigation continues. For the latest updates, visit www.campbellriver.ca. Meanwhile, Slade, who suffers from health issues, lives in fear of the hillside because it could ultimately force him and others into homelessness. If the hill comes down again, residents in the area may have to find new housing. Right now, Slade lives in a barely affordable rental

unit that he’s been in for a number of years. Other units in the building rent for over double what he is paying. He feels he couldn’t afford to rent anywhere else on his small WCB pension. “The stress of my current health combined with COVID and now having to live with constant fear of a large landslide with no means of finding an affordable place to live elsewhere is wearing me thin,” he said.

Federal NDP leader visits Campbell River to discuss affordability, housing and food security MARC KITTERINGHAM Campbell River Mirror

Clients of the Campbell River Food Bank were served by a special guest on Monday, as food bank volunteers put federal NDP leader Jagmeet Singh to work stocking food bags. Singh was in Campbell River as part of a visit to the North Island-Powell River riding. The goal of the trip was to learn from local non-profit and social services just what difficulties people in smaller centres, rural and remote areas are facing in relation to the housing, food security and affordability crises. Singh met with Stefanie Hendrickson of the Campbell River and District Coalition to End Homelessness, Michaela Arruda of the Campbell River Community Foundation, Ian Baikie from Hama?Elas Community Kitchen, Tanille Johnston from the City of Campbell

River and Jo Watson from the Campbell River Food Bank. North Island-Powell River MP Rachel Blaney was also part of the discussion. The roundtable focused on the areas of concern for these groups, particularly with the goal of bringing these stories to Ottawa to help advocate for smaller communities. “How things are done in Ottawa doesn’t always reflect how they’re done in our communities,” Blaney said. The discussion included access to funding for non-profits, a feeling of disconnect between realities on the ground in these communities and how the federal government sees the situation — definitions of “affordability” was a main topic of discussion — and the fact that smaller communities do not have the same resources as bigger centres. Hendrickson identified gaps in the funding provided by the Canada Mortgage

to make money, which can be done through adjustments to tax laws in Canada. Other ways the federal government can help were identified, including extending grant funding beyond the “building” phase. Baikie and the Hama?Elas Community Kitchen were particularly affected by this. He said that during the beginning of the pandemic, there were plenty of grants available to build community services to help people through the pandemic. However, now that these have been in place for a few years, the funding is starting to dry Campbell River food bank volunteer Bob Naylor helps federal NDP leader up.

bag for a few customers and looking at the facility while learning about the needs facing the community. “We’re hearing more more stories from people that are having a hard time making ends meet,” Singh said after the meeting. “The fact that people are hurting; it just really paints a picture of how tough things are… the incredible people here have real great solutions and have real great ideas about how we can actually fix the problems … We have to focus on the problems, but then look to solutions and that’s what folks in the room were really quick to do.” Singh also visited Comox and Courtenay on Monday, touring the Canadian Forces Base with Blaney, meeting Comox mayor Nicole Minions and later with MP Gord Johns in Courtenay.

Building the best birthday ever MARC KITTERINGHAM Campbell River Mirror

A Campbell River construction crew made sure a local youngster’s birthday was one to remember this year. To celebrate her son Phil’s third birthday, Nicole Hillier reached out on Facebook to any local construction crews who would be willing to sing him happy birthday. “He loves construction and all things mechanical,” Hillier said. The family has a habit of going riding around either by car or bike to where ever there’s work being done so Phil can take a look.

“Why not ask?” Hillier thought. The crew in question from Akers Property Solutions was working on a site on Evergreen Road. Hillier said the crew member who responded to her post, Ryan Clark, had kids of his own and understood how much it would mean for Phil. The Hillier family met the crew on site on Wednesday afternoon. The crew came out to meet Phil and give him a high five. They then showed off an excavator, and even let Phil and his dad Chris sit inside and check out all the buttons. The crew then gathered around and sang

Our View

Can we create more jobs while cutting fewer trees?

It was meant to be a moment to bid a fond farewell, a cherished adieu but, in the end, the old Queen ignominiously hobbled her way into retirement having died, unable to complete her last voyage. As the Powell River Queen limped into Quathiaski Cove ferry terminal on Quadra Island Jan. 17, a retirement celebration was already underway for the 58-year-old car ferry. Cake had been served, coffee cups were being filled and community members had dropped by to say their goodbyes to the faithful old vessel. The plan was for the Powell River Queen to pull into the “Q Cove” terminal on its regular 3:30 p.m. trip from Campbell River. Then after two more back-and-forth sailings to and from the

JACQUIE DUNS PUBLISHER

ALISTAIR TAYLOR EDITOR

Campbell River terminal the old vessel was to be motored off to Buckley Bay to await a final move into the hands of whoever bought the surplus old gal and whatever was planned for its final years. But after a while, the 4 p.m. trip – a dangerous cargo sailing not open to the public – still hadn’t left Q Cove and drivers hoping to catch the 5 p.m. sailing started lining up. Eventually, ferry customers were told about a mechanical issue with the Powell River Queen and

that ferry service had been interrupted and wouldn’t be restored until initially, 8 p.m. but that was revised to 7 p.m. later. Meanwhile, BC Ferries quickly pressed into service the Island K’ulut’a, one of the two Island Class hybrid vessels BC Ferries had commissioned to replace the Powell River Queen. The K’ulut’a was to be joined by her sister ship, the Island Nagalis and both were on hand awaiting the launch of their careers.

Powell River Queen limps into retirement A LIMB

At some point, we have to cut down some trees. The forest industry in B.C. supplies building materials for homes and businesses, furniture, and the fast-growing mass timber construction industry, not to mention pulp for paper. The good thing about trees is that they grow back. Unlike oil or coal or metals dug up out of the ground, we can ensure a fresh supply of timber pretty much in perpetuity, if we manage our forests in the right way. Unfortunately, we haven’t always done that, and now we’re faced with an ecosystem that’s under stress, with too few stands of old growth left, and an industry that is used to having access to more wood than is actually sustainable. Premier David Eby warned recently of “exhausted forests,” but he could have spoken of an exhausted forest industry just as well. There are still people in many communities in B.C. making a living from forestry, but it’s a far cry from what it once was. Many workers have been eliminated by automation and technology, while few new jobs have been created in processing timber, as raw log exports continue to reign supreme in this province. Eby’s most recent announcement this week aims to change that. A new $90 million fund over the next three years is meant to inject money into industrial and manufacturing projects. There are plenty of places for B.C. wood, big and small. With Canada and other jurisdictions phasing out single-use plastics, paper and wood are set to make a comeback in everything from takeout containers to disposable cutlery. On the exact opposite end of the scale, technology now allows wood to act as a building material that can compete with steel and concrete. The government of B.C. has been encouraging mass timber construction, using vast manufactured wood beams. The goal for forestry in B.C. has to be to cut fewer trees, while turning what we do cut into useful products that we can export across Canada and the world. It’s been a dream of multiple B.C. governments, and no one has managed to make it work. But if we want to have good jobs in the forest sector, as well as healthy forests that will last for hundreds and thousands of years yet to come, we’re going to have to work to get that balance right. – Black Press

It’s a tenet of island life that you just have to accept ferry delays – part of that quintessential laissez-faire attitude bucolic island life engenders. Continued on A11

Ferry... Continued from A10 BC Ferries spokesperson Deborah Marshall said it was a coupling failure that resulted in suspension of the Powell River Queen’s service. Normally, the vessel can operate on three of its four engines in favourable conditions but on Tuesday afternoon the winds were quite high so for safety reasons BC Ferries had to suspend operation with that ship. “We certainly apologize to our customers for any inconvenience this situation may have caused,” she said. “The new two-ship operation started yesterday (Jan. 18) and we are pleased to provide our customers with greater capacity and more frequent service.” Meanwhile, the old Queen limped into retirement with her reputation a little tarnished but undiminished after a long career on B.C. waters. And besides, the love and affection demonstrated by the community and her past crew members at her farewell party will sustain her in her retirement years and easily eclipse her hapless final day.

BC Hydro’s operational and climate change resiliency By Stephen Watson, This past fall was the driest fall season on record for the Campbell River system. Then the tap abruptly turned on in full force for one of the wettest starts to the winter season. With big weather fluctuations and ongoing climate change we often get questions about how or what BC Hydro is doing to prepare. We’ve been thinking and acting on it for years. I would like to cover off some of those actions related to our Campbell River hydroelectric operations and water storage. This includes modelling, capital projects, in the moment versatility and the benefits of an integrated power system. For modelling, our records go back about 60 years and we have daily traces for each of those years on how much water entered the watershed. Every year we learn about another weather scenario of very dry or very wet. In all of our years of record for the fall season, there has always been a shift to wet weather by around the end of October. We didn’t get any large rain events over

The Strathcona Dam. BC Hydro photo the fall season for this watershed until it finally turned wet on Dec. 24. That’s unprecedented. We are always looking at the near-term and long-term weather forecasts, current snowpack conditions, hydrologic forecasts, and are conservative in our decisions for environmental and social considerations while generating clean power. Upon reflection, we managed through this past fall as well as possible. Salmon were able to spawn and we tried to keep those salmon eggs covered with water. Since 2007, we’ve been partnering with the Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium and others on modelling climate change projections of what the future may look like for rain, snowpack and dry weather across B.C. The results from those ongoing models for our Campbell

River watershed show a trend towards wetter and milder conditions in the fall and winter, and drier spring and summers. The annual precipitation looks to be the same, just dispersed differently. For our capital projects, we are preparing to undertake major upgrades to the Strathcona, Ladore and John Hart dams. These projects rightly get a lot of attention for maintaining downstream public safety. While the projects are mainly focused on seismic upgrades, a significant component will be improvements to the water discharge reliability and water management flexibility of these dams that were built in the 1940s and 1950s. For reliability, all the spillway gates at the three dams are planned to be replaced, including new hoist systems and back-up power supply. No matter how dry or wet the conditions may be, they will be dependable – even after a major earthquake. For flexibility, the best example is the Strathcona Dam Water Discharge Upgrade Project where we are

planning to build a channel in rock that will curve around the right bank of the dam with a low-level outlet gate used to control water discharge. While the channel is mainly designed to allow for reservoir water level lowering after a seismic event, there is another benefit in years of very low water like this past fall. The Upper Campbell Reservoir/Buttle Lake water level moved well below the sill of the existing spillway gates. When that happens the only way to pass water downstream is through the powerhouse. This past fall we had one of those two generators go off-line. It made providing downstream flows tenuous. With the proposed channel, we will have security in being able to provide downstream water flows no matter what the reservoir level is or how the powerhouse is performing. You can learn more about the project at majorprojects.ca. For in-the-moment versatility, sometimes the best planning and capital improvements may not be able to accommodate a certain

weather event. This year at the Upper Quinsam Lake, the record dry weather led to very low water storage conditions and the risk of running out of water. We quickly responded, voluntarily, to temporarily install pumps to help supplement water flows to benefit downstream fish habitat. This quick action is an example of being agile to very challenging weather situations. For our integrated power system, while we did have low water conditions and power generation this fall in Campbell River, we are connected to the wider BC Hydro system and could supply our customers with electricity from off Vancouver Island. Since late December, the wet weather has recovered the water storage within the system and we are now at normal water storage levels and river flows. We will be ready for whatever nature provides us in 2023, and continue to prepare and plan for our hydroelectric facilities to meet future weather events.

A Look Back INTO

THE HISTORY OF THE CAMPBELL RIVER AREA The wreck of the steamer Cottage City

ou never know what artifacts might be found along the shores of the Discovery Passage and the stories that go along with them. It was over 100 years ago on Jan. 26, 1911 at approximately 3:10 in the afternoon when a blinding snowstorm, treacherous current and heavy fog caused the steamship Cottage City to be shipwrecked about 200 yards offshore on the Willow Point Reef. The 232-foot-long wooden-hulled steamer was first launched in 1890 and served the Maine Steamship Line for seven years, carrying passengers along the U.S. east coast. After that it was sold to the Pacific Coast Steamship Co. for service between Seattle and Alaska, carrying cargo and people eager to strike it rich in the gold rush in Alaska. On the ill-fated voyage, she left Seattle for Alaska at 10:35 p.m. on a Wednesday night with 100 tons of freight, 59 crew, and 37 passengers, including six members of a vaudeville troupe bringing costumes, musical instruments, and equipment to entertain the legions of people eager to find their fortunes. Captain Jensen knew

the Cape Mudge lighthouse and landed on the shores of Quadra Island. The lighthouse keeper at the time, a Scotsman named John Davidson, had done everything he could pumping his hand foghorn during the snowstorm, but the storm had altered the echo to make it difficult to gauge its position. He guided the life raft to the beach with a white flag and offered a hot meal and lodging to the passengers. The other life rafts followed the shore and continued up to Campbell River with the ship’s papers and money. All the passengers and crew survived. Most of the baggage on board was left behind, and Captain Jensen and officers remained with the ship to guard against looting and to meet any help that may arrive.

tied in the streets wearing the vaudeville finery. Plans were made to salvage the Cottage City, however, a more severe storm hit the coast on Feb. 3, making salvage efforts impossible and tore apart much of the ship. For the weeks that followed, heavy winds battered the exposed ship. On Feb. 9, a radio message reported that masses of floating wreckage believed to be from the Cottage City were being carried away by the tide and found as far north as Chatham Point, 40 km away. Captain Jensen and his officers finally abandoned her, and the remains were sold for scrap. She was written off as a complete loss at a book value of $115,000 as listed in the Railway and Marine News of 1911. In 1967, two divers by the names of Fred Rogers and Ed Seaton set out to find what was left of the Cottage City wreckage. They were successful in finding the exact location and a small collection of artifacts such as ornamental brass door handles, hinges, portholes, and lamp holders. The boilers, propeller and the main steam engines were nowhere to be found suggesting they had been hauled away in the salvage efforts.

F. Handel, Vivaldi, and J. S. Bach. Audiences love the timeless and universal sound of the genre, characterized by ornate melodies, complex harmonies, elaborate ornamentation, and elegant nuances written by European musical masters from the early 1600s to the mid-1700s. In addition to performing at Courtenay’s St. George’s United Church in March, the orchestra is playing in Campbell River at the Trinity Presbyterian Church. “The emotions and feelings conveyed in Baroque music

Photo contributed are universal and can speak to people of all ages and cultures and continue to remain one of the most popular categories of classical composition,” said Helena Jung, the SSO’s Music Director. “One of the pieces in the program, ‘Brandenburg Concerto No. 2’, is a beautifully crafted work of art that exhibits Bach’s masterful compositional skills,” said

Ms. Jung. “He showcases the violin, flute, oboe, and trumpet in several solos throughout the piece, demonstrating his expressive range and versatility.” Solo passages throughout the program will feature SSO section leads, showcasing their musical prowess and dexterity. The orchestra members are looking forward to sharing their passion

for the musical style with concertgoers. Members from the SSO brass section will start the show with a flourish, playing George Handel’s “Music for the Royal Fireworks” fanfare. The symphony will keep the momentum going until the grand finale of the “Brandenburg Concerto No. 2.” The SSO’s Opera Night, held just before Christmas,

Audition call for Rivercity Players’ festival entry, Four Old Broads Rivercity Players, Campbell River’s community theatre group, is holding auditions for their spring production of Four Old Broads by Leslie Kimbell. The play is Rivercity’s entry into the annual North Island Zone Festival, which the organization is hosting this May. The comedy is set in Magnolia Place Assisted Living, where retired burlesque queen Beatrice Shelton desperately needs a vacation – and NOT another trip up to Helen, Georgia to see that “precious little German village for the umpteenth time.” A Sassy Seniors Cruise through the Caribbean may be just the ticket if she can just convince her best friend, Eaddy Mae Clayton, to stop praying and go with her. Unfortunately, things have not been very pleasant at Magnolia Place Assisted Living since Nurse Pat Jones began working there.

It’s a Big Adventure … Want to come with? State. It was exactly as described above and instead of pushing it off, we gathered up a dozen like-minded riders, set up the plans for training, nutrition, and travel, and then we sorted all the logistics for the crew. The group of us fed off each other for motivation, support, and advice for the entire summer, and when that big day arrived, we travelled south, set up camp, and had an amazing time riding around some fantastic

single track for the better part of a day. In hindsight, most of the group would never have tackled this on their own, and for good reason. It was a daunting task for any rider, and with little to no experience, it was down right scary. But, as a group, with combined experience, we came together and conquered. Thirteen of us crossed off this epic mountain bike ride from the bucket list that year

and it was so much fun that half of us went back the following year in the hopes of improving our times. It made for not only a healthier and fitter crew of mountain bikers, but created some life long memories along the way. OK, enough reminiscing about the glory days, let’s get to the point. It’s been way too long since we’ve attempted a big challenge, and the Swicked Crew has come up with another epic ride. We’re going to take a group of riders who want a bit of help or motivation, and we’re headed to Whistler in August for a big ride into the alpine. Have you always wanted to try something bigger, longer, higher, but were just not experienced enough to tackle it on your own? Then this is for you. Already experienced and fit enough for this ride, but don’t have time for all the planning? Then this is for you too. Swicked will set up all the details, lay out the ride loop, and help you train in every way to get you prepared and organized for the big day, Then we all travel to the mountain biking Mecca of Whistler for one of those life-altering rides. If this sounds even close to interesting for you, then I’m sure you have lots of questions for me. We’re having a free info session at Swicked Cycles where we will explain in more detail, answer all your questions, and comfort you in how simple this can actually be with the right guidance and support. Challenge yourself, and make some amazing memories. Meeting Details: Where: Swicked Cycles - 1393 Spruce St., Campbell River When: Saturday Jan 28 - 10 a.m. And if for some reason you have a broken hip and can’t make the meeting, give me a call and I’ll swing by with the details. I’m James Durand and I’m Goin’ Ridin’…

Have you ever wanted to do a big epic adventure, but the planning, organizing, or training for it was just too overwhelming? In the end it becomes one of those things on your bucket list that never really gets the attention it needs, and after years have gone by, you still tell yourself, “I’ll get to that next year.” Will you?

WINTERIZE

Try your hand at shore angling in the month of January We had the snow in December and already a fair amount of rain has fallen locally in January. Few anglers are fishing freshwater lakes like Echo, Fry and McCreight. Road conditions will vary in each area and getting to upper regions will depend on the amount of snow on the roads. If you see iced-over areas on a lake, don’t take the chance to walk on it if you really don’t know the ice thickness. With the milder weather and the rain, you can easily find a shore area, park and cast out to the open water. Stocked freshwater lakes around Campbell River will have a good number of catchable-size trout which can be caught from shore using white or pink power bait. A hook with a worm is a good way to

get a catch of trout if you are willing to wait it out and enjoy a few hours of fishing. Last week I had a visit to the local tackle shops in Campbell River and staff members have mentioned new people moving here are starting to enquire about fishing lakes locally. It will be another month before things start to get busier for people purchasing gear and planning their next fishing experience around Campbell River. For some time now, getting a fishing license locally is practically nonexistent; you have to go online and some seniors still complain about it. But you can get a freshwater fishing license at Service BC here in Campbell River. I am in contact with Arija Fisher at the Campbell River Library and a plan is being put together
