Fossil fuel companies broke numerous rules intended to protect threatened caribou, suppressed report shows BC's Oil and Gas Commission (OGC) sat on a damaging audit for nearly four years that showed companies that drill & frack for natural gas repeatedly broke rules intended to protect threatened boreal caribou.

The document, obtained by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA), underscores lax regulatory oversight of fossil fuel companies by the (OGC).

"Fracking companies are breaking the rules. And for the third time in less than a year, documents that spell out how they break the rules are suppressed by the OGC. The time has come to take enforcement powers away from the OGC and turn them over to another agency," says CCPA resource policy analyst, Ben Parfitt, author of a just-released expose on the threatened caribou.

The leaked document is an audit prepared for th Commission by an independent professional biologist. The audit concludes that natural gas companies failed to comply with a "recovery plan" developed

by BC's environment ministry in 2011 in response to the federal government officially listing boreal caribou as a threatened species in Canada.

Boreal caribou are among a number of distinct caribou populations in BC and across Canada that are in decline due to industrial developments that have fragmented critical habitat for the species. This makes it easier for wolves, their main natural predator, to hunt an kill them.

A cornerstone of BC's recovery plan for boreal caribou was for fossil fuel companies to follow new "Interim Operating Practices" to protect the species.

But the audit, suppressed by the OGC, found that the new rules were frequently violated, including evidence that the companies: built gas-drilling pads well in excess of what they were supposed to. expanded the size of already excessively large drilling pads by building giant water storage pits and other industry infrastructure right beside the over-sized pads. constructed roads and pipeline corridors without barriers to break up sightlines, which

allowed wolves to see their prey from miles away. failed to restore or rehabilitate industrial sites so that they became suitable habitat to where caribou could safely return.

"The audit of the Interim Operating Practices found that not only was compliance low in general with the measures it contains, but that often these measures were not prescriptive enough, allowing for companies to avoid them or seek exemptions from them," concludes the audit, which is stamped "draft" and dated May 29, 2014.

The OGC has not published the audit draft or any subsequent draft of the report on its website even though the document prominently displays the OGC's organizational name and logo on its cover page. The audit included helicopter flyovers of many gas industry operations as well as field surveys with both OGC personnel and representatives of the Fort Nelson First Nation present. A request to the OGC by the First Nation for a copy of the audit went unanswered.

"There is a troubling pattern here," said Grand Chief Stewart Phillip of the Union of BC Indian Chiefs. "First Nations learn after the fact that unlicensed dams have been built on their lands. Then they learn after the fact that water may be contaminated at hundreds of fracking sites on their lands. And now they learn after the fact that fossil fuel corrtpanies are violating rules to protect one of the mostthreatened species in their territories.

It's long past time that the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples was implemented in BC. Resource extraction should only happen with the informed prior consent of First Nations."

One of the province's preeminent environmental organizations said the audit's evidence of widespread industry non-compliance with the "recovery plan" is troubling and the OGC's failure to do anything about it is more troubling still. But the bigger concern is that the recovery plan itself is weak. Under the BC plan: gas industry developments would continue on at least three quarters ofthe lands where threatened boreal caribou are found. gas drilling and fracking activities would continue on those lands for half a century. boreal caribou numbers would fall from 1,300 animals to just over 530 - a 58% decline.

"Like canaries in a coal mine, caribou aren't surviving oil and gas developments in northeastern BC," said Sierra Club BC campaigns director Caitlyn Vernon.

"BC's lax regulatory oversight offossil fuel industry

activity in caribou habitat is clearly failing to effectively protect caribou. We need to dramatically improve provincial recovery plans for this iconic species, not only in the boreal zone but throughout the province from the far south to the far north."

A

Bear Story "Carry a gun in the mountains," the old prospector said. "Grizzly bears live here, and the only good bear is a dead bear." I tried to carry a gun, a 30-30 lever action, but it was no good. The strap slipped off my shoulder. The barrel hit the back of my head. When 1 put the rifle down to do some serious prospecting, I had to backtrack to find it. So one day I decided to leave it behind. As for grizzly bears, Native Elders had taught me to speak well of them. "Those who ridicule the bears are being arrogant," they had said. "Be respectful; the bears were created before us; they are our older sisters and brothers; there is much to learn from them."

On June 30th I left camp without a rifle, but armed with positive thoughts about bears. Up the side of a mountain I went prospecting step by step, the sky clear, the day warm - through the timber across meadow land with its mountain flowers bright as stars, up talus slopes over huge rocks towards the top, the falling away of earth, the opening up of heaven ..

Stepping around a rock bluff into a saddle between two peaks I met a bear standing sideways to me - fifty feet away, silver-tipped, a mountain in himself. For a moment the world stopped. No voice to call, no legs to run, no me to move. Then silently we listened, the bear and I, at seven thousand feet on a ridge between two peaks under the summer sky. "Be polite to the bears," the Elders had said. "They are our relatives. They have been here longer than us."

"Excuse me," I said, I didn't mean to intrude ...." The bear sniffed the air, but he didn't charge. "You have climbed the mountain to escape the flies or to cool off or to catch a whistler," I continued. "Don't fear me; I am a stranger who wi11leave no track." The bear listened, not moving. As I talked I began to back down the talus slope, avoiding the rock bluff, around which I'd come. To disappear suddenly would be dangerous.

"We share the same sun," I said, "and the beauty of this mountain. The wind that cools you also cools me."

The bear began to move along the ridge towards the further peak. Then he stopped. The huge head turned again, watching. "This day we have met," I said, "and we have met forever."

The bear moved away again, and as I crept down the talus slope we lost sight of each other. Then I ran to the campsite and made a cup of tea. The old prospector returned soon after. "Did you see any bears?" he asked.

"No," I replied. "Did you take the gun?" "No," I said.

"No more gun for me."

This will be in the newsletter for awhile. Funds cannot be garnered through channels like grants or corefunding without b ing beholden to the source, often meaning what can or cannot be printed gets decided by that source. The basics-no racism, no sexism, no personal attacks on community members may not be enough for some. It's kind of like not accepting money from a mining company who then will freak out if we print anything about fracking. If you want your money to do some good. consider the Carnegie Newsletter.

REGENT HOTEL IN LIMBO No one seems to know what's going to happen to the Regent Hotel which has 153 desperately needed rooms for people to live in.

The city seems to be considering closing it down because it is in such bad repair. Only 102 of the 153 rooms are occupied. The rest are boarded up. Residents of the boarded up rooms have been given housing in other buildings.

Meanwhile ATIRA is managing the building, not the Sahota family that owns it. ATIRA has a lease that expires in mid August but could renew.

However the building is in such bad repair that money is needed to fix it up.

Meanwhile, also, the province bought the Jubilee on Main St. with 78 rooms. People in the community are wondering if this if for Regent residents if the city closes the building.

If the Regent closes 153 desperately needed rooms will be lost to the DTES community which has about 1200 homeless people.

The class action court case, where Regent resident Jack Gates is suing the city and the Regent owners for compensation for tenants due to lack of heat, hot water, elevator service and maintenance is back in court at the end of June.

Meanwhile the city keeps refusing to enforce section 23.8 of the Standards of Maintenance bylaw which allows them to repair the building and bill the owner but the city has allowed the Regent bar to open.

Community action may be needed like last year when the Balmoral was closed and the community ensured that tenants got homes, not shelters, as well as compensation.

STOP GENTRIFICATION AT 560 RAYMUR 5T AND 1220-1298 E HASTINGS STREET The Onni Group and Yamamoto Architecture held an open house to introduce their preliminary design for two proposed rezonings, one at 1220-1298 E Hastings Street, and one at 560 Raymur Street. Both proposals are being considered under the DTES Plan and the Rezoning Policy for the DTES. The proposals include: 560 Raymur Street - 6 story mixed-use building w/59 market strata units 1220-1298 E Hastings Street -12 story mixed-use building w/126 market strata units, 49 city-owned social housing units and commercial/retail units at grade If new developments at 560 Raymur and 1220-1298 E Hastings come into the neighbourhood the area will be gentrified and low-income people will be pushed out. , â&#x20AC;˘ The community is in a crisis and cannot afford to have more gentrifying developments moving into the city. There is an estimated 1,200 homeless people living in the Downtown Eastside (DTES), about 500 DTES residents were evicted in 2017 from their homes through no fault of their own. In 2017 we got only 21 new units of housing at welfare rate while low-income housing has been lost at an esclating rate each day. Furthermore the average rents in privately owned and run hotels has ramped up to $687 a month.

Stop gentrification at 560 Raymur Street and 1220-1298 E Hastings now! To discuss how we can stop gentrifying developments from coming into the neighbourhood, come to the next CCAP meeting (every Friday, 11:15 AM, 3rd floor, Carnegie Community Centre, 401 Main Street.)

CARNEGIE COMMUNITY

ACTION PROJECT 111:15AM EVERY FRIDAY

The Carnegie Community Action Project (CCAP) is a project of the board of the Carnegie Community Centre Association. CCAP works mostly on housing, income, and land use issues in the Downtown Eastside (DTES) of Vancouver so that the area can remain a low income friendly community. CCAP works with english speaking and Chinese speaking DTES residents in speaking out on their own behalf for the changes they would like to see in their neighbourhood.

Join us on Fridays 11:15 am for our weekly volunteer meetings! Downtown Eastside residents who want to work on getting better housing and incomes and stop gentrification are welcome to attend. Lunch is provided!

MATERIALISTIC BREAD CRUMBS Like superheroes going out on strike or a methadone shortage we all know people shall die tonight just like they have been removed from their mortal coil, like a Sesame Street right next to Elm Street what an incredible quirk of fate those materialistic bread crumbs live inside&beyond serious steelgates moisture running down my face it is time to find common ground now who says anyone cannot be born spoiled, when thugs or life drag you right out of your car you'd think we were branding a nation but so many before us have dearly paid, look at Trondald Dump the worst or very close to the worst the States have ever had firing this firing others on a daily clearance the U.S. is becoming almost like a dictatorish kind of state the poor peoples voice live or dead we must b vigilant yet caring could just be a fad I can accept the horror stories I'm hearing from friends I run into who still have some life in 'em, Like some cowboy showing off this time & day 0 rage (how many countries on fire or water are happening in this day&age let me guess th answer to survival is yur trusty yellow page but a mob of housewives & restaurant employees could only see red, Moving on to other sets of likes like a heroin addict & the neck of the woods now one hits up in their throat what to do - cover him with your own coat I have always hated the world good the experts agree those damn breadcrumbs hey I hate people using out city as an ashtray spit&sink when repeat offenders I even did homework (I have neve done school homework) now that obviously shows stupidity I can or will never be able to have a real 8-hour No Disturb sign in neon time to go to bed, sleeping a third of your life away when megalomania people consider this planet a shared rejoice sort of but the menial jobs people don't want to share selfish fucking people who rarely pay taxes let alone child supp rt or eleventeen DUIs or pay attention unless they own it they do not care well the poor have a voice here goes nothing or everything these breadcrumbs must lead somewhere, like a prison magician purposely climbing down between th cracks- he needs his fix that would smack it has changed killing everyone you knew the drug now has added flavor what does death taste like? How many levels of enforcement does it take to find your son or daughter dead in an alley somewhere, now can you find a loved &missing family member I don't walk up mountains but ifJ did I'd have a huge bag of breadcrumbs we're living in a ruined city-the ending is the only thing yet to come every single collection be it hockey/sports

Thinking stops before Plan B is ever set in motion everything becomes breadcrumbs the dead dying&those in between life&death please help the truth is not important yet a disease called megalomania mentality gives way to depression like a welcome mat knitted with razorwire you must love&trust those around you what a horrible way to live shove those breadcrumbs down the throat of every dictator who thinks the world is his&computers telling people how to live or die as of now anyone caught stealing breadcrumbs will be shot on sight you've heard Selfishists with their audio evil having the democratic right to rally people to a cause almost as insane as adopting the death penalty but like crying for a pimp I am silent except for a sigh There is a petition going around to renovict all of the poor & it's goinp rather well.

Editor's Note: From Inside Addiction in the last issue was written by Ruby Diamond. The author's name was omitted.

Nature. Oh how she is comfort to the bones. I think of nature as completely and utterly healing. I love to write about plants and animals because there is something wonderful about our companions. Even rocks in a stream bed or by the ocean sand, forever sends a starry eyed romantic like myself into deep contemplation. Everything in nature has life force.

I think about how I feel when I enter a nursery. The plants speak to me and I can feel their presence. They bring me deep serene energy and I know that each plant, whether it be begonias, or amaryllis, or geraniums, or roses, has its own particular healing quality and I want to stay in the nursery for hours until I have soaked up all the energy that is so freely given by the earth. We need more green space to combat the city's monstrosities.

I was watching a video by a researcher and psychiatrist who talked of how schizophrenia is fifty times more likely to occur in the city than in rural places. That makes so much sense. The city is buzzing with stimulation and is often devoid of serenity. The noise of cars, and trucks screaming by, the constant impersonal bustling of strangers walking past, do not allow for community. We need nature and we need community.

There are places to go, like the Japanese gardens or Lynn Valley which bring a sense of belonging and a sense of peace. I must visit these places at least once a week to feel normal. Because I suffer from schizophrenia, I know that sound, smells and sight are particularly acute in the city and a great stress reducer is a quiet park or side street where the noise grinds to a halt.

The experience of schizophrenia is just a heightened experience of alienation which is so common in the city experience. No one knows anyone. We are just walking past strangers all day long. Isn't that alienating in itself?

We are meant to be social and the DTES has a community which gathers around the Camegie center. Thank you, Camegie Centre, for the quiet space of the library and the community that has names to faces.

As a dually diagnosed individual, I know that environment really has a great effect on my sense of wellbeing. If we suffer from mental illness and addiction, having clean, serene places to live and breath in are essential to recovery. We need good affordable housing. Whereas in the 1970's a third of one's income went to rent, now over ninety percent of income goes to rent. Living in tiny rooms with bad ventilation and cockroaches, really has a huge impact on how and if a person has a chance at recovery. So nature, and the country and community are essential to good mental health and recovery. And for that I am grateful. â&#x20AC;˘

from the LibrarY Since it's still June, and still National Indigenous History Month, and we're still getting a ton of new Indigenous materials in for our Indigenous collection, I'mjust going to feature more items from that collection: Author Eden Robinson is probably best known for her novels, such as Monkey Beach, or the more recent Son of a Trickster. The Sasquatch at Home is instead the text of a lecture given at the Canadian Literature Centre, reflecting on her family &culture. It's thought-provoking and chuckle-inducing, and best of all, a quick read at only 41 pages.

"It A Girl Called Echo, written by Metis author Kather-ena Vermette, is the first in a series of graphic novels about a 13-year old Metis girl struggling to adapt to living away from her mother, while also finding herself travelling back in time to the era of the Pemmican Wars. My favourite detail is the main character's iPhone playlist, called 'Mom's old CDs', which appears to consist of Pearl Jam, Guns 'n' Roses, Nirvana, and Red Hot Chili Peppers albums from the early 90s.

Bob Joseph's just-published 21 Things You May Not Know About the Indian Act is a useful and informative overview of a piece of legislation that remains one of the greatest tools of colonialism in Indigenous life in Canada. Joseph's book not only looks at all the ways in which it constrained Indigenous life (Residential Schools, the Potlatch ban, and many others), but also looks forward to a time when it will be a historical relic.

The Land we Are is a great collection of writing and art that seeks to question, complicate, and ultimately improve the dialogue of reconciliation in Canada.

Please come and visit us at the National Indigenous Peoples Day celebration at Oppenheimer Park on June 23.

We will have a library table, as well as story times and storytelling sponsored by the library.

Happy Reading!
