TRU’s billion-dollar Reach into the future MULTI-DECADE PLANNED COMMUNITY ON CAMPUS MODELLED AFTER SFU, UBC SITES DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

Thompson Rivers University has taken the first step in a $1-billion project to create a village on campus. The concept, called The Reach, will combine office, retail and residential space, creating a “vibrant neighbourhood where you can live, work, study and play 24/7,” said TRU president Alan Shaver. The first request for proposals has been sent to 35 developers in the province. About a dozen have already replied, expressing interest in the first phase. That would see an estimated 90,000 square feet of residential and market condominium housing built on land on University Drive on the north side of the Old Main Building. The project is being done through the uni-

versity’s community trust. The land will be leased to developers with revenue going to student assistance and funding research, said Christopher Seguin, the university’s vice-president advancement. Frank Quinn, chair of the community trust board, said the dollar value of the project is based on the cost to build, a figure he pegged at $300 per square foot. Once complete, The Reach will add threemillion square feet of residential living space, 40,000 square feet of new office space and 78,000 square feet of new retail space. The university has about 90 acres on which the village can be built. It will be similar to developments at the University of British Columbia and Simon Fraser University. Quinn hopes construction can begin within 12 months on the

project he predicted “will change the face not only of the university but of the city.” He said building a community will end the “drive in, drive out, lights off” reality that now exists on campus and see activities happening into the evening.

Quinn also sees the project as a way to attract students and perhaps encourage them to remain in Kamloops after graduating. Seguin agreed with Quinn, noting it gets quiet at TRU in the evening. While concepts, elevation, density and

look are included in the request for proposals, developers can present their own ideas that conform with those criteria. Any development must be approved by the trust board. The project is parking-neutral, Quinn said. For each existing

parking space that will disappear as buildings are constructed, underground parking will be built to ensure the number of parking stalls does not decrease. Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Terry Lake, a faculty member at TRU, said when he

arrived in 1997 at what was then the University College of the Cariboo, many of the buildings now on campus didn’t exist, including part of Old Main, the House of Learning, the International Building and the animal-health building that houses the discipline he taught. Lake said the name is appropriate because, as finding affordable housing on the Lower Mainland “is no longer in reach, you can find a nice living in Kamloops is in reach.” Quinn said market conditions will influence the timeline for completion of the project, but he anticipates everything will be in place within 20 years.

An international trade dispute involving commercial drywall manufacturers threatens to jack the price of building a new house by $2,000 — a cost builders say will be passed directly to homeowners. Earlier this month, the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) hit importers with duties ranging from 100 per cent to 275 per cent. The central interior chapter of the Canadian Home Builders’ Association (CHBA-CI) said that translates into a price increase for a sheet of drywall by 12 per cent, with another 12 to 25 per cent expected. “That’s $1,500 to $2,000 on the average house, said CHBA-CI president Rob Lemire. “It just flows through to the consumer.” Lemire said the industry was caught by surprise following the determination by the CBSA.

The duties result from a complaint by Certainteed. The only drywall manufacturer in Western Canada, it has plants in Winnipeg, Calgary and Vancouver. The company also imports drywall to Western Canada from the U.S. and its own imports from are subject to a 125 per cent tariff. The trade action and preliminary finding by Canadian government agencies found American manufacturers are engaged in what is known as “dumping” — predatory pricing to increase market share and drive out domestic manufacturers. In its complaint, the company alleges it needed to lay off workers as a result of predatory pricing, but detailed numbers were not available. Cyndee Todgham Cherniak, a lawyer acting for U.S. manufacturer Continental, said the action is unusual because Certainteed imports and produces drywall in Western Canada. The action alleges Western Canada is an isolated market that is not serviced by manufacturers in Eastern Canada.

Cherniak said the amount of drywall coming west from Eastern Canada is in dispute and is a “big factor.” “One of the key arguments in opposition . . . is whether or not there are shipments from east to west,” she said. There are more steps to come in the investigation and determination by the CBSA and the Canadian Industry Trade Tribunal, including a final determination in the next several months. “Between now and then, everyone is stuck in this delay position,” she said. KTW contacted Certainteed for comment and the company emailed a statement: “We are disappointed and surprised at the recent call for boycotts of our drywall products by some Canadian customers and certain Western Canadian Associations, and through commentary in the Canadian media, related to our anti-dumping complaint and the subsequent provisional duties announced by the CCSBA on Sept. 6. See COMPANY, A12

Police have ruled out foul play after a body was discovered in North Kamloops over the weekend. Mounties said they were notified of a body on the ground near the 100-block of Tranquille Road at about 2:30 p.m. on Saturday. “Through investigation, nothing suspicious was found and the file is now with the coroner’s office,” said Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie, noting police had confirmed the deceased’s identity. She would only say he was a man in his 20s. The coroner’s investigation is ongoing.

Cracking down on defective vehicles

A number of drivers in and around Kamloops were hit with tickets last week in a three-day crackdown. RCMP Sgt. Mike Pears said multiple static and mobile road checks were conducted between Sept. 13 and Sept. 15. Nine vehicles were ordered off the road, 69 drivers were given 30 days to get their vehicles compliant and 352 warnings were handed out to vehicles owners for minor defects. Pears said 71 vehicles were inspected under a national safety code, with 26 taken out of service and 43 violations found. Two vehicles passed inspection. In addition, 10 vehicles were impounded, one loaded firearm was found, 15 drug seizures were made, 12 bylaw warnings were issued and seven forestry warnings were handed out.

A call for TIB, others to pay FORMER TNRD DIRECTOR: COST TO FUND RIH GROWTH SHOULD BE SHARED ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

The procedures are not in “place for that to happen.”

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

A former Thompson-Nicola Regional District director says it’s time Sun Rivers and Tk’emlups Indian Band members were asked to cover a share of taxes for Royal Inland Hospital. At its meeting Friday, the Thompson Regional Hospital District agreed to contribute another $172 million to the next phase of expansion at RIH. The move will see property taxes rise by about $20 to $147 annually for an average-assessed household in the TNRD, including the City of Kamloops. The average house price in the TNRD is $275,500. “Isn’t it time for them to ask if residents of Sun Rivers, businesses of the [Mount Paul] Industrial Park and the Tk’emlups Indian Band would consider paying their share of these costs that they all benefit from?” former Area P director John Sternig, whose area included the band lands, asked in a letter to KTW, arguing Sun Rivers residents and businesses in the industrial park tend to be “fairly well off.” (Sternig’s letter can be read online at kamloopsthisweek.com and on page A9 of this edition of KTW).

residents are able to vote for TNRD directors, they are not taxed by the regional district. Mayor Peter Milobar said it’s not as simple as asking the band for some cash. While health services are provincially legislated, the reserve is federally legislated land. “The procedures are not in place for that to happen,” he said. “We’d never say no to dollars, but there’s no legislative way to do that.” Milobar said any conversation around paying for services would likely take years to sort out. “I’m not prepared to hold up that $500-million hospital expansion for something that would take years and years, literally, to work out at a federal and provincial and First Nations level,” he said. Current Area P director Mel Rothenburger said he also sees the discussion as being complex, but said it’s time

to talk about whether the current system could be fairer. “I’ve met with [Tk’emlups Indian Band] Chief [Fred] Seymour and with the taxation committee of the Sun Rivers property owners to start working in that direction, to create some structure of communicating so these things can be worked out,” he said. Rothenburger said the conversation goes both ways. While Sun Rivers residents, for example, aren’t paying hospital taxes, they’re also missing out on homeowner grants, which some have argued is unfair. “I think there needs to be a big-picture discussions about the overall fairness,” he said. Reached for comment by KTW, Seymour said he would raise the issue for further discussion at a later band council meeting, but was not yet prepared to make a statement on the issue.

Having come in on time and under budget, the new clinical services building at Royal Inland Hospital was officially declared open on Friday, with Health Minister Terry Lake (at the mic) and Transportation Minister Todd Stone on hand.

RIH tower could open in 2022 STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Terry Lake said he has “a pretty cool feeling” now, knowing work is progressing on a patient-care tower to be built at Royal Inland Hospital. Talking about the proposed tower with the Thompson Regional Hospital District board in the new $69-million clinicalservices building at RIH on the day it was officially declared open just made the day better. Lake, Kamloops-North Thompson MLA and the province’s health minister, was at the hospital district meeting on Friday to update its members on the progress to date with the next phase of the hospital’s expansion, one that at this point is estimated to cost between $400 million and $430 million. His presentation was in support of a request for the hospital district to contribute $127 million toward the project. Five years ago, the hospital district put $100 million toward the clinical-services building and future patient-care tower. Directors voted in favour of the motion. The new formula means the hospital district, through taxation, will pay $172 million of the $400 million to $430-million cost of the tower.

lion, pointing out that figure includes the $69 million cost of the clinical-services building — an amount, he noted, that was lower than the budgeted $79.7 million. Lake conceded it is not easy to nail down costs for construction to be done in the future, noting the original concept can change, ideas can firm up and the competitive bid process can also have an impact on the final cost. Lake anticipates the Interior Health Authority will submit its business case for the next phase by the end of the year, with approval from the government by next spring. He said the plan now would see a contract awarded by the fall of 2018, with construction starting soon after and continuing to 2021. The new tower would open to patients by 2022.

What’s in the building?

The clinical-services building has 55,975 square feet of patient care and education space. It houses RIH outpatient services, electrocardiographic, cardio-pulmonary and neurodiagnosis clinics, respiratory therapy, medical outpatient services, a vascular improvement program, the rapid-care breasthealth clinic, a lecture theatre, classrooms and other training space.

Changes in health care Health care has changed, the provincial minister in charge of it told the Thompson Regional Hospital District board, and the reality is big buildings filled with wards and beds are no longer the norm. Health Minister Terry Lake, also MLA for Kamloops-North Thompson, said the worst place for a sick person to go is to the hospital. Research has shown patients who stay for a lengthy time in a hospital often develop secondary infections simply by being there. Instead, Lake told the board, the strategy is to provide health services in the home or through outpatient services, with the hospital designed more to address acute care. Lake noted advances in surgical procedures now mean people who are having hips replaced in the U.S., are going home the same day. “I’m not saying we don’t need hospitals,” he told the directors. “We just don’t need gigantic ones.”

Hospital district taxation covered $28 million of the $69-million clinical-services building The funding means a tax increase for homeowners in the Thompson-Nicola Regional District, including Kamloops. Owners of an averageassessed property (the average in the TNRD is $275,000) will pay an extra $20 per year for 20 years. Those with homes worth more than the average of $275,000 will pay more in taxes. The hospital-expansion tax tally for TNRD property owners with an average-assessed home will now be $147 annually. Lake told the hospital district directors the tower will include three 30-bed units for patients, including two focused on mental health; maternal and child services, including labour, delivery and a neo-natal intensivecare unit; 13 operating rooms; child and adolescent mental health; paediatric psychiatry; an orthopedic clinic; patient registration; surgical-services support space and mechanical equipment.

The Kamloops Chamber of Commerce expects to play a significant role in developing a set of rules around legalized marijuana for its national counterpart. Delegates at the annual general meeting of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce agreed on Sunday to ask the federal government, which intends to legalize the drug next year, to develop rules that allow “competition in retailing and distribution of the product and [preserve] consumer choice,” as well as public safeguards. Brant Hasanen, chair of policy development for the Kamloops Chamber, said it’s a milestone for the national organization, whose members have failed for years to come to a consensus on how

marijuana should be treated in Canada. “That idea is no longer debatable, so what we need to do is make sure it’s managed so no one is injured and it gets managed responsibly,” Hasanen said. Because the Kamloops Chamber has a track record of successfully passing resolutions at the provincial and national levels, Hasanen said he expects the group will be tapped to help the national chamber work with Ottawa on how marijuana should be sold. While B.C.’s liquor retailers, both private and government-owned, have argued they should be the ones to sell pot, Hasanen said that could be an uneasy partnership. “With liquor, in Kamloops even our council has struggled with how to manage that,” he said, pointing to a decision from city hall to keep B.C. VQA wines out

of a Sahali grocery store that was later reversed. Hasanen said the conversation around legal weed could be a chance for the chamber and governments to talk about what levels of regulation are necessary. “It’s like liquor and tobacco. That’s over-analyzed and there’s much more energy put into that than what one could argue needs to be done, based on what happens in Canada and British Columbia versus the rest of the world,” he said. “So this is probably a good chance for us to look in the mirror and make some good decisions, some hard decisions about what it is we really want to accomplish.” Hasanen said he wants to see a national policy developed, rather than leaving it to provinces to develop their own approaches.

VIGILANTE WORK HAS LED TO CHARGES, BUT EXPERTS WORRY GROUPS MAY DO MORE HARM THAN GOOD

TIM PETRUK • STAFF REPORTER • TIM@KAMLOOPSTHISWEEK.COM

You can’t “ dispute that

everyone wants these pedophiles off the street, but it has to be within accordance of the law.

”

— CPL. DARIN RAPPEL, Kamloops RCMP

hey patrol the web, meting out vigilante justice to anyone they feel might pose a risk to vulnerable children online. Up until this week, that justice was shame — enough to cost an alleged creep respect, a job and maybe a marriage. But now that one of their amateur investigations has resulted in criminal charges against a Kamloops law-enforcement officer, police and experts are worried about what the next step might be for Internet creep-busting groups. “If you look at the end goal, it’s that we want to make sure that people who are predatory and looking to take advantage of young people are brought to justice,” Kamloops RCMP Supt. Brad Mueller told KTW. “We support that. But the manner it’s being done in is not always aligned with our investigative practices.” Last week, Kamloops deputy sheriff Kevin Johnston was charged with three counts of luring and one of invitation to sexual touching. If convicted, he faces a mandatory minimum of one year behind bars — potentially serving time alongside the criminals he once policed. Johnston is no longer employed by B.C.’s Ministry of Justice. But he was working as a deputy sheriff last month, when a Kelownabased group of online vigilantes — Creep Hunters — claims to have snared him in an elaborate Internet investigation culminating in a videotaped confrontation in an Okanagan parking lot. Ryerson University criminology professor Anne-Marie Singh has been watching B.C.’s creep-busting vigilante phenomenon with interest from Toronto and she thinks the charges against Johnston aren’t much more than a public-relations play by justice officials. “I think they made the arrest because it was a sheriff,” she said, pointing to dozens of other creep-busting videos that have not led to prosecutions. “If they didn’t do something, they’re just protecting their own.” In fact, the charges against Johnston mark the first time

a vigilante group targeting online predators has generated criminal charges in B.C., if not Canada, aside from the so-called Fraser Valley “Superheroes” in 2012 who drew plenty of criticism from police, but garnered praise from many civilians. Charges were also laid last week against a Surrey RCMP officer who was earlier this month allegedly busted by a separate online vigilante group in the Lower Mainland. Singh believes the allegations against Johnston, and the charges against the Surrey Mountie, will collapse under the scrutiny of the courts. “I’ll be surprised if any case actually goes to court on this,” she said. “It strikes me the only reason the sheriff was charged, and the RCMP officer, is because they are agents of the state. “It’s to show the public that police and state officials are going to take steps against this.” Mueller, however, said the charges against Johnston are legitimate — and not just because he was a lawenforcement officer at the time of the alleged offences. “From our perspective, it’s irregardless of profession,” he said. “It doesn’t matter if it’s a sheriff, a plumber or a teacher.” Mueller said the charges against Johnston were possible thanks to the help of the vigilantes. “In these circumstances, we were able to work with Creep Hunters,” he said. “They were co-operative and were able to provide the evidence we needed that ultimately resulted in charge approval.”

But, he said, the investigations into Johnston and the Surrey Mountie accused of being caught up in a similar sting mark the only two times online vigilante groups targeting alleged predators have worked with police. A group calling itself Kamloops Creep Catchers started posting videos of alleged sexual predators online earlier this month. To date, four such clips have been uploaded by the group to Facebook. Another group, Kamloops Creep Hunters, posted its first video to Facebook over the weekend. It is a one-minute clip appearing to show a 22-year-old Kamloops man attempting to meet up with a 13-year-old girl. One of the Kamloops Creep Catchers videos appears to depict a man who was last year wanted on sex charges attempting to meet up with a 14-year-old girl. Another appears to show a 59-year-old trucker attempting to coerce a teenaged boy into performing oral sex on him. The head of Kamloops Creep Catchers would only offer his online name — Joanzee C. Catcher — to KTW, but said in a phone interview he would work with police if asked. “To a degree, yes,” he said. “And I only say to a degree because the last time we dealt with them they wanted information that my team wanted to remain anonymous.” The head of Vancouver’s Creep Hunters chapter said he is also willing to work with police. “I have no reason not to,” John Snow, who also refused to give his real name, told KTW. “Any question they ask of me, I will answer. I’m willing to do whatever it takes to lock these guys up.” Catcher said the main goal is not justice, but awareness. “It’s not just trying to out these guys, it’s to raise awareness for us as a community,” he said. “Our ultimate goal is to raise awareness so that laws get changed.” Catcher would like to see stiffer sentences handed down to sex offenders and a

readily accessible database showing where pedophiles live. “If you’re a sex offender and you’re in my neighbourhood, I should know about it,” he said. “The legal action taken upon them, there needs to be more.” However, according to Singh, harsh measures restricting the freedoms of sex offenders who have paid their societal debt could prove problematic. “Well, why should you know where they live?” she asked. “I understand that these kind of crimes generate intense feelings and emotions, but that’s not how we make policy. “Policy and procedure are supposed to be driven by evidence. Nobody wants to live beside a sex offender, but where are they going to live? Is there going to be a community of sex offenders?” Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Darin Rappel said that while the vigilantes do not appear to be breaking any laws in their investigations, their stings are troubling given the fact their findings may not hold up in court. “You can’t dispute that everyone wants these pedophiles off the street, but it has to be within accordance of the law,” he said, pointing out that the RCMP’s Integrated Child Exploitation (ICE) Unit is using similar tactics to bust would-be predators. “We do this 24/7. As an organization, we are well aware of the problem.” Singh agreed, saying Mounties are doing the same work without viral videos. “I don’t think the police are sitting on their hands in terms of luring and child exploitation,” she said. “I don’t think so.” A statement provided to KTW from the RCMP following enquiries about the ICE Unit said the team has expanded in recent years in terms of investigators and analysts. “B.C. ICE uses all means and resources available including engaging specialized RCMP units and other law-enforcement agencies and non-governmental partner agencies worldwide to ensure that children are saved and protected from

further sexual exploitation,” the statement reads. “They have the capability to target any number of existing social media platforms and are constantly monitoring online communications trends in an effort to maintain relevance in their current investigative practices.” Rappel said the techniques used by ICE investigators don’t vary much from the strategies employed by vigilantes: Pose as a young person online to engage a suspect and gather incriminating evidence. The difference is police would forward the results of their investigation to the Crown for potential charge approval, whereas vigilantes often stage videotaped confrontations and post them online. Mueller thinks the vigilantes will increase their efforts, especially given the fact Johnston was charged and the Surrey Mountie may soon face similar allegations. “I think we’re going to see more of it,” he said. “Certainly, when we have instances where there have been charges laid, it will lead to more and more of this going forward. “I think we, as the police, need to come up with a strategy of how we’re going to move forward with this.” Singh thinks the issue will address itself when vigilantes become tired of spending countless hours working on amateur stings. “I would like to think at some point in time it will just peter out, but not completely,” she said. “It does take a lot of commitment to form these groups and run these schemes. “Emotional enjoyment will only last so long.” Catcher, however, said he’s willing to keep spending time raising awareness by outing alleged creeps — a task to which he said he devotes upwards of 80 hours a week. Snow said he’s going to keep pursuing alleged predators until there is no one left to target. “I don’t want anybody taking advantage of any underage person,” he said. “I’d like to see all of them arrested and in jail.”

POLICY TASTES BETTER THAN TEA

remier Christy Clark is just having a nice chat around a kitchen table with four or five folks. Everyone clutches a teacup and, as Clark talks about jobs and economy, they all nod. But they don’t say anything. It’s the latest broadcast ad from the B.C. Liberals and it marks the start of a long, miserable, American-style election season here in B.C. Our objection is not that the ads are insanely early — though they are, with almost nine months to go before next spring’s provincial vote. It’s that we’re already being bombarded with the worst clichés of political advertising. The ad is ostensibly about two things: controlling government spending and job growth. Clark tells us we’ve got to “keep our eyes on the ball” and “stay focused.” “We have to create jobs!” she says with such force that the sugar bowl is almost rattled. OK, yes. Those are fairly non-controversial ideals. We are pretty sure the NDP, Greens, B.C. Conservatives and independents would all agree that those are sound policies. So, with fall, winter and spring to inform us of the Liberals’ intentions, why not start telling us how they are going to do that? How are the Liberals (or New Democrats or Greens or Conservatives or Communists) going to keep spending under control while funding health care for an aging population? How will they help young people afford housing without crashing the market and wiping out construction jobs? Please, politicians, don’t tell us what you want to do. Tell us how you’re going to do it. — Campbell River Mirror

Rescuing your retirement

he Justin Trudeau government has declared a pension crisis and is imposing its solution. After the Ontario government threatened to press ahead with its own Quebec-style provincial pension plan, the Ottawa head office of the Liberal party stepped in. Finance Minister Bill Morneau called a meeting of provincial ministers in June and they lined up to support his intention to expand the Canada Pension Plan starting in 2019. Perhaps still haunted by the leap to the harmonized sales tax, B.C. Finance Minister Mike de Jong broke from the herd ever so slightly, declaring a consultation period first. Premier Christy Clark hinted this was a formality, since she is focused on cordial relations with Ottawa. B.C.’s rubber stamp could come any day. Morneau’s CPP expansion plan sounds quite modest. Employer and employee payroll contributions are to go up from the current 4.95 per cent of earnings to 5.95 per cent by 2023. For each employee earning $54,900, the employer contribution goes up $7 to $8 per month in each of the first five years of the phase-in. The goal is that, by 2025, CPP will cover a third of earnings, rather than a quarter as it does today. Morneau is concerned about the decline in private pension plans and sees it as the state’s job to step in. The days of bond investments

earning seven per cent interest are gone and even public-sector employers are starting to look at defined-contribution pension plans where the payout depends on investment returns. (See the horrified response of the post office union to the idea a guaranteed pension isn’t their God-given right.) For private-sector employees, defined-benefit pensions are mostly a distant memory, if they have an employer pension at all. Many join self-employed people who are expected to manage their own RRSPs and tax-free savings accounts, which were curtailed by the Trudeau government. The Liberal philosophy is to discourage individual responsibility and increase state control. De Jong gave an upbeat assessment of B.C.’s public-sector pensions in his recent report on the public accounts. Unlike basketcase provinces such as Quebec (50 per cent unfunded liability) and Alberta (76 per cent unfunded), B.C. is 97 per cent funded. The B.C. teachers’ pension

plan has an unfunded liability of $244 million, which is projected to be covered by 2019 through increased employee and employer contributions. Of course, the employers are school districts, funded by taxpayers. B.C.’s municipal pension plan also has an unfunded liability. So, if you are a self-employed person trying to sock away retirement funds on your own, you can be comforted by the fact you’ll be chipping in a bit extra for teachers and municipal employees to maintain their guaranteed pensions. And if you’re a small business owner, you’re looking at an extra $40 a month for each employee for CPP. According to a survey released last week by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, some employers will have to forgo other benefits. Some expect to freeze or even cut wages. Some expect layoffs. The CFIB survey found low public awareness of all of this. Polling company Ipsos found almost 40 per cent of Canadians think the government pays for part of CPP. More than 70 per cent are unaware current retirees get nothing from the CPP expansion. The Fraser Institute ran the numbers on CPP deductions compared to Morneau’s middle class tax cut. When the CPP expansion is done, that $54,900-a-year employee will see a net decrease of $374 in takehome pay. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Editor: Kamloops Mayor Peter Milobar and Thompson-Nicola Regional District CEO Sukh Gill have both announced their support for a $20 tax increase annually, per average home in the TNRD, to support extra costs of the expansion at Royal Inland Hospital. Yet for all the years Milobar has sat as mayor of the city of chair of the TNRD, not once has he submitted the proposal to Tk’emlups Indian Band that it pay its fair share of taxes toward hospitals and libraries.

The burden rests with city and regional taxpayers subsidizing fairly well-to-do residents of Sun Rivers and the Mount Paul Industrial Park on band land. Isn’t it time for them to ask if residents of Sun Rivers, businesses of the industrial park and the Tk’emlups Indian Band would consider paying their share of these costs, from which they benefit?

LOCAL NEWS Upgrades to highway bridge

When?

A portion of the Peterson Creek trail system will likely be off limits this fall as workers begin $560,000 in drainage upgrades on the Peterson Creek Bridge on Highway 1.

Extreme Excavating Ltd. will begin drainage upgrades on the bridge in late September, with work lasting four to six weeks. Lane closures may take place between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., but

are expected to be infrequent, with minimal impact on motorists. Trails on the east side of the creek should remain open, but the western trail is likely to be closed during the work.

Shuswap cleans up after weekend storm rolls through Strong winds of more than 80 km/hr swept through Kamloops and over the Shuswap Saturday night, hitting Magna Bay the hardest. Organized thunderstorm cells rolled in from Kamloops between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m., causing power outages and damage to some homes. At the storm’s peak, more than 14,000 customers were without power in the Thompson-Shuswap region, said BC Hydro communityrelations officer Jennifer WalkerLarson. Jody Paynton, manager of Magna Bay Resort, said she watched the storm roll in. “We talked to some of the locals that’ve been here for 20 years and they said it was nothing they’ve ever experienced before,” Paynton said. A shed roof and side was damaged, along with a few boats during the storm, but Paynton said the resort was fortunate. “There were trees snapping everywhere,” she said. “There’s a few more days of cleanup, that’s for sure. There is no front access to the resort due to the power lines down. If [the storm] was in August, this would’ve been devastating. We would’ve had more guests here for sure.” Paynton estimated there were fewer than 20 guests staying at the resort during the storm. Her neighbours weren’t as lucky. “We have a roof completely gone, the walls gone off the side of a house,” she said. More than 10 BC Hydro crews were called in to deal with the storm.

At about 8 p.m., half of the customers had power, with 19 customers without power yesterday morning in rural areas of the Shuswap. Paynton said the power was on at the resort yesterday morning. The storm pushed from west to east, developing stronger winds as it made its way into the Shuswap, said Environment Canada meteorologist Ross Macdonald. In Kamloops, winds of 60 km/h were recorded and there were reports of power outages and downed trees. There was some damage noted at the Kamloops Golf and Country Club (see related story on page A24). “It was fairly short-lived,” Macdonald said of the storm. “It had pushed through the area shortly before 8 p.m.” Other areas of the Shuswap experienced the storm, but did not receive the high winds.

NorKam senior secondary students Grace Penner and Evelyn Brisco helped guide runners and walkers during Sunday’s Terry Fox Run. The annual fundraiser for cancer research started and ended in Riverside Park. Later this week, organizers should have news on how much money was raised.

Permits 24 hours a day The province is introducing an online permit system for truckers that is expected to reduce their wait times. Minister of Transportation and Highways Todd Stone said the current phonebased permit system can result in delays. Under the new system, trucking companies will be able to obtain permits 24 hours a day. “This system will help the commercial vehicle

industry get goods to market faster, by automatically approving permits and showing drivers detailed information on the approved route to follow,” Stone said in a statement. OnRouteBC is being piloted this month and is expected to be available industry-wide on Oct. 3. Wifi will be added at inspection stations to allow drivers to logon to the system. • Meanwhile, the

province will add a rest area on Phase Three of the Coquihalla Highway following a survey of drivers that found they want additional places to stop. The rest area will be constructed at the Loon Lake interchange on Highway 97C. It will include separate parking for commercial and passenger vehicles and washrooms with running water. Construction is slated to begin in the spring.

Kamloops city council will decide today whether to spend an extra $575,000 on a building designed to be set alight. The city is looking to rebuild its Kamloops Fire Rescue training centre after agreeing to sell the land it sits on to BC Hydro for a new substation. The property is off McGill Road, adjacent to Kenna Cartwright Park. While city real-estate manager Dave Freeman said BC Hydro’s purchasing cost for the

land includes money necessary to rebuild KFR’s burn building and training centre elsewhere, staff are now asking for extra dollars from the city’s reserve fund in to give firefighters a better practice space. “The existing burn building is a large, multi-storey concrete building that necessitates the use of Class A wood burning materials for fire training purposes,” capital projects manager Darren Crundwell wrote in a report to council. “During the design phase of this project, staff learned that modern burn buildings are

generally constructed from steel and use clean-burning fuels, such as propane or natural gas. A new steel structure would be considerably safer for firefighters and more environmentally sustainable.” Staff are also asking for an extra $175,000 to construct the classroom and office facilities surrounding the burn building. Crundwell said the $750,000 will be paid back over the next five years, with interest, out of Kamloops Fire Rescue’s budget. The cash will come from the elimination of a management position at KFR, which costs the

city about $150,000 a year in wages and benefits. “Once the $750,000 internal short-term loan is fully repaid in five years, the funding source for this position would be fully eliminated from the KFR annual budget,” the report states. How much money the city will receive from BC Hydro for the land sale has yet to be released, but Freeman said a figure should be available by the end of the year The new substation is intended to meet electricity demands for a local population increase of up to 25 per cent.

Company: issue about Canadian jobs From A3

“We would like to put this issue into clear context: This is about Canadian law and Canadian jobs,” Certainteed’s statement continues. “We filed an anti-dumping complaint because drywall manufacturers based in the U.S. were exporting large and growing volumes of products into Western Canada in the last few years at prices materially lower than those at which they are sold in the U.S.

“Such dumping creates material injury to domestic manufacturers in the form of share loss and price and margin suppression. “Under Canadian law, this is considered an unfair trade practice sanctioned through an offsetting duty or tariff. “The magnitude of the provisional duty announced is indicative of the very large price difference between the U.S. and Canada and the enormous margin of dumping, which is having a

devastating impact on the value of gypsum board in Western Canada.” Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod said her office is studying the issue. Lemire said those in the midst of paying a contractor for drywall have little option in the next several months. The national group expects to be represented in the trade action. “Everyone’s talking about affordability and we’re doing our best to keep the price down.”

Ex-cop charged with dealing drugs returns to court TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A former high-profile Kamloops Mountie has yet to appear personally in court to face allegations she trafficked in cocaine while a member of the RCMP. Randi Love is facing three counts of trafficking cocaine. A lawyer appeared on her behalf in the Kamloops Law Courts yesterday and had her matters put over for two weeks. Charges were laid against the 40-year-old in May. According to court documents, the allegations date back to three days in June 2015, when Love was still employed as an RCMP constable, but was off the job on injury leave. Police launched an investigation into Love’s activities last summer. In October, she sub-

mitted her resignation papers to the RCMP. Love made headlines in 2013 when she testified at the fraud trial of her former RANDI LOVE boyfriend, RCMP Const. Trent Wessner, who was convicted of bilking Costco out of $400 based largely on Love’s testimony. Wessner left policing following the conviction. In 2008, Love worked as the media-relations officer at the Kamloops RCMP detachment, acting as the de facto face of the city’s police. She is due back in court on Oct. 3.

Familiar face returns to lead B.C. Conservatives Dan Brooks stepped down as party leader in January, won it back Saturday The man whose resignation in January created the B.C. Conservative Party leadership race has won the battle and is once again leader of the party. Dan Brooks, 41, was elected leader at the party’s convention in Prince George on Saturday, garnering 52.1 per cent of the vote and defeating Konrad Pimiskern on the second ballot. Jay Cross was the third leadership candidate. Brooks won the 2014 leadership race with 61.9 per cent of the vote. He stepped down as leader eight months ago, citing family and business reasons. Brooks and wife Ellen have seven daughters. Brooks, who lived in the Dufferin area of Kamloops while earlier serving as leader, is owner and operator of Crystal Lake Lodge in north-central British Columbia. “I put forward to the party membership during the course of my leadership campaign a number of specific propos-

als and so I regard my victory as a mandate from B.C. Conservatives to continue to outline new and bold ideas that will promote a dynamic economy and higher paycheques for all British Columbians,” Brooks said after his weekend victory. In early July, Brooks unveiled a proposal to sell governmentowned liquor stores and casino operations, with the proceeds going to economic-development initiatives. In August, he added the BC Pavilion Corporation as another potential privatization asset. Brooks has also called for a pipeline to carry oil to the Pacific Coast and then to Asian markets. The Conservatives did not elect any candidates in the 2013 provincial election, in which they received 4.8 per cent of the popular vote. The party last had an MLA in Victoria in 1975. The next provincial election will be held on May 9, 2017. The party has yet to announce any potential candidates for Kamloops’ two ridings.

Man guilty of raping sleeping friend, judge says Sexual assault took place after John Grant made series of bizarre ‘macho statements’ TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A B.C. Supreme Court judge has ruled a Kamloops woman who woke up to find her friend having sex with her was incapable of consent, in part because she is a heavy sleeper. John Grant was convicted on Friday of sexual assault stemming from an incident on the Tk’emlups Indian Band reserve in February 2014. Court heard Grant was spending the night at the home of his close female friend after she picked him up from a mutual friend’s birthday party. Grant was drunk, court heard, and told his friend, with whom he had never been romantically involved, that he wanted to have sex with her. When she said no, he began to flex his muscles and make bizarre “macho statements” including, “I’m in good shape” and “I’m a good hockey player.” The woman told Grant to sleep in her king-size bed. After she finished folding laundry, court heard, she went to sleep on a corner of the bed away from Grant. Some time later, she woke up to Grant touching her sexually. She confronted him, retreated to a couch and fell back asleep, only to be awoken again to sexual touching by Grant. The woman went back to sleep in her bed a short time later, believing Grant was not in her bedroom. She eventually woke up to him on top of her engaged in sexual intercourse. “When she is asleep, she is unable or incapable of consenting to sexual activity,” B.C. Supreme Court Justice Linda Loo said in handing down her guilty verdict. Following the conviction, Loo placed Grant on an order barring him from entering TIB reserve land, pending sentencing, except for work purposes. Sentencing for Grant, who is free on bail, will take place at a later date.

THE CANADIAN PRESS

HALIFAX— Trial lawyers from across Atlantic Canada are taking Ottawa to court to ensure the region keeps its traditional Supreme Court of Canada seat, saying Prime Minister Justin Trudeau can’t change the custom without the approval of every province and territory. Trudeau said regional representation among the top court’s judges is important, but he has yet to commit to replacing a retired justice from Nova Scotia with someone from the same region, arguing other forms of diversity are just as important. The Atlantic Provinces Trial Lawyers Association said yesterday it is seeking an order from the Nova Scotia Supreme Court that would require Ottawa to amend the Constitution if it wants to drop regional representation as an unwritten constitutional convention. Such a change would require unanimous consent of the provinces, the association said. “It raises questions of regionalism, which are very important to Atlantic Canadians and their participation in Confederation,’’ said Ray Wagner, a Halifax lawyer and spokesman for the association. “The problem is that we will get swal-

lowed up by larger population areas that get appointments — and we get forgotten and somewhat marginalized.’’ Without adequate regional representation, Atlantic Canada could be hurt by future Supreme Court decisions dealing with fisheries matters, employment insurance and transfer payments, he said. As grounds for the court application, the association argues the absence of a judge from one of the four Atlantic provinces would “fundamentally change the long-standing composition of Canada’s highest court.’’ The Canadian Bar Association has urged Trudeau to respect the appointment custom, which does not appear in the Constitution or in Canadian case law. The convention, in place for 141 years, shouldn’t be changed without invoking the Constitution’s amending formula because the Supreme Court of Canada has already made a similar ruling regarding proposed changes to the Senate, Wagner said. In April 2014, the court slammed the door on reforming or abolishing the Senate without reopening the Constitution. The high court said then-prime minister Stephen Harper’s plan to impose term limits on senators and create an election process couldn’t be done by the

federal government alone. Nova Scotia Premier Stephen McNeil issued a statement yesterday reasserting the province’s position the rule should not be changed. “We believe there are excellent Atlantic Canadian candidates for the seat and look forward to the region’s continued representation on the high court,’’ the premier said. The court challenge in Nova Scotia comes as a deadline in the appointment process is fast approaching. Later this month, a new, non-partisan advisory board is expected to recommend to the prime minister a list of three to five candidates who are qualified, functionally bilingual and representative of the diversity of Canada. The seven-member panel, led by former prime minister Kim Campbell, is expected to review candidates from across the country. However, federal Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould expects the list to include candidates from Atlantic Canada. Trudeau has said his Liberal government is “folding in all sorts of different aspects to get the best possible people to sit on the Supreme Court.’’ Last month, Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin suggested an appointment made without regional consideration could end up being challenged in court.

More than $1M raised by Hip fans Donations to cancer research came from bake sales, raffles, viewing parties THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — The Canadian Cancer Society and the Sunnybrook Foundation say the Tragically Hip’s recent tour raised more than $1 million for brain cancer research in Canada. The Sunnybrook Foundation says donations totalling nearly $800,000 have been made to the Gord Downie Fund for Brain Cancer Research at

Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto. The fund — named for the band’s lead singer — is designed to give brain cancer researchers the tools to help beat brain cancers that are currently unbeatable. Dr. Sian Bevan of the Canadian Cancer Society says the almost $400,000 in donations it received will support Canadian Cancer Trials Group — which is based out of Queen’s University in the Hip’s hometown of Kingston,

Ont. — as it tests new ways to treat or manage cancer. Downie revealed earlier this year he’s battling terminal brain cancer and fans flocked to concerts this summer as the Hip embarked on a 15-show tour that ended in Kingston late last month. Sunnybrook and the Cancer Society say the donations have come from bake sales, raffles, concert viewing parties and ticket

sales, as thousands of fans translated their response to Downie’s diagnosis into action. “At Sunnybrook and at cancer centres across the globe, we are making important advances in brain tumour treatment, and support like this helps us continue our work,’’ Dr. James Perry, head of neurology at Sunnybrook, said in a release. “To all those who have donated to brain cancer research, thank you.’’

Former statistics chief questions independence THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The country’s former chief statistician is casting doubt on the Liberal government’s promised commitments to Statistics Canada based on handling of an issue that forced his sudden departure last week. Wayne Smith quit Friday after losing a battle over Statistics Canada involvement in a five-year-old — and controversial — central IT department, Shared Services Canada. Smith told Prime Minister Justin Trudeau last month he would resign if the issue wasn’t resolved to his liking. The government took Smith up on his offer, staying silent until last week when he received a letter from the clerk of the Privy Council, the highest-ranking official in the federal civil service, that accepted his resignation. He also received a letter from Trudeau himself that

said little about the IT dispute — only that the government was committed to giving Statistics Canada its independence, Smith said. The controversy has Smith wondering whether the Liberals will follow through on a campaign pledge to give Statistics Canada greater independence from political intervention. He also questioned why the Liberals chose his successor after they argued two years ago for an outside body to recommend a nominee for chief statistician. “Given the Shared Services Canada issue and given their method of appointment of my successor, I’m more than a bit concerned about just how sincere this commitment is,” he said. The issue of independence comes down to the credibility of Statistics Canada and information it provides to voters and governments, Smith said. “When we publish

persistent fire from departments frustrated with having to hand over control of their systems to the central IT agency, complaining about delays in projects and a lack of understanding of individual departments’ digital needs. Head Ron Parker defended his agency’s work, saying it worked hard to meet Statistics Canada’s IT needs. He said there were no operational and capacity issues when he met with Smith in April. The IT agency is in the middle of expanding computing capacity for the national statistics office, he added. Parker also said the government will know next year when it will realize the savings promised to taxpayers by creating Shared Services Canada, following a review of its plan to modernize federal digital infrastructure. The long-term plan doesn’t envision anyone opting out of the shared IT arrangement, he told

data, people have to believe it and they won’t believe it if external forces are able to influence or prevent Statistics Canada from carrying out its mission.’’ During question period yesterday, NDP MP Kennedy Stewart assailed the government for what he called a “clearly broken promise.’’ The government responded by thanking Smith for his service and touting the return of the mandatory longform census and its response rate of nearly 98 per cent, the highest the agency has ever recorded. “Our government remains committed to reinforcing the independence of Stats Canada. We are working on that,’’ said Greg Fergus, parliamentary secretary to Innovation Minister Navdeep Bains. Fergus didn’t directly mention Shared Services Canada. Shared Services Canada has come under

a briefing in Ottawa. Smith said federal officials told him the centralized IT program could crumble if Statistics Canada left because it would embolden other frustrated departments to demand independence from the arrangement. “There never has been a substantive discussion about whether the points I’m raising are valid or not valid,’’ he said.

“It has really been about the consequences for Shared Services

Canada if Statistics Canada was pulled out of that arrangement.’’

HOUSING STARTS TRENDING LOWER Housing starts in British Columbia’s urban areas were trending at 39,744 units in August compared to 42,553 units in July, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). The trend is a six-month moving average of the monthly seasonally adjusted annual rates (SAAR) of housing starts. “British Columbia housing starts trended lower for the first time this year reflecting a similar change in direction of trend housing starts in the Vancouver, AbbotsfordMission, Victoria and Kelowna Census Metropolitan Areas,” said Carol Frketich, CMHC’s

sure as a complement to the monthly SAAR of housing starts to account for considerable swings in monthly estimates and obtain a more complete picture of the state of the housing market. In some situations, analyzing only SAAR data can be misleading in some markets as they are largely driven by the multiples segment of the markets which can be quite variable from one month to the next. The standalone monthly SAAR for urban starts in British Columbia was 33,483 units in August, compared to 37,554 units in July.

THERE'S A LOT TO CONSIDER WHEN SELLING YOUR HOME • What are similar homes selling for? • Do you start looking for a new home now or wait? • How long will it take to sell?

• Do you need to do some repairs or updates prior to listing? • How will your home be advertised to potential buyers?

LINDA LOVE Living throughout BC over the years, I believe Kamloops is the best place to live and have made this city my home these past 16 years. All the moving meant buying and selling homes frequently, and I dealt with different types of Realtors — learning from each one and taking the best information they had to share.

SANDY LAPOINTE Make the most of your first impression. New listings create a lot of interest, making it important for sellers to get their pricing right. I have spent my adult life in Kamloops, and have been a realtor for 11 years. I help sellers develop the right asking price to attract attention and get maximum return. Setting a fair market value on your home gets the most out of interested buyers. Too low a price leaves thousands of dollars on the table, and too high a price scares away buyers and leaves your home on the market for too long.

or Alanna Solomon, the Reebok Spartan Race is about more than testing her mettle. It’s about feeling less alone. Solomon, whose mother, Rhoda, was diagnosed with primary progressive multiple sclerosis in 2000, will run in her first Spartan Race on Sunday at Sun Peaks Resort as a member of Team Muck MS B.C. The run, like the MS Walks she did before it, is as much about Solomon finding support for herself as it is about raising funds and awareness for the disease that has afflicted her mom for more than 15 years. “She was diagnosed when I was really young, so I went my whole life with her having this disease,” the 21-year-old told KTW. “We never really talked about it. We didn’t acknowledge it. It was something we just sort of lived with, just me and her.” Spartan races

Sun Peaks will also host the Spartan Beast race (roughly 20km) and the Spartan Ultra Beast race (roughly 42km) on Saturday. Solomon, now a Kamloops resident, will be running the fivekilometre, 15-obstacle Spartan Sprint. While Rhoda won’t be there to see competitors jumping through flames, climbing walls and crawling through the mud — the 50-yearold is currently in the hospital in Williams Lake — Alanna said her mother gains strength from her daughter’s endeavours. “I started just because I thought that

With the playoffs out of the question this year, the Broncos will play out the schedule, hosting the Valley Huskers of Chilliwack on Saturday, Sept. 24 (kickoff at 7 p.m.) before finishing the season with a Saturday, Oct. 1, game in Westshore. In other BCFC action, the league-leading Westshore Rebels and the Vancouver Island Raiders tied 25-25. The weekend also saw the first interconference games, with BCFC teams hosting squads from the Prairie Football Conference. The Prairie teams romped to victory, with BCFC powerhouse Okanagan Sun suffering their first loss of the season, 58-2 to the Saskatoon Hilltops. The winless Valley Huskers of Chilliwack were defeated 35-0 by the Winnipeg Rifles.

WHL pre-season comes to a close The Kamloops Blazers closed out the WHL pre-season schedule with a 4-0 loss in Prince George on Friday night. The loss came as the Blazers had nine players away at various NHL camps. Dylan Ferguson and Carter Phair shared the night in the crease, with Ferguson stopping all 15 shots he faced and Phair turning aside 12 of 16. Kamloops finished the pre-season with a 1-4 record, defeating Kelowna 5-2 and dropping 1-0 and 6-3 decisions to those same Rockets. The Blazers also lost 5-3 to Victoria. Right winger Quinn Benjafield and defenceman Dawson Davidson led Kamloops in pre-season scoring, each amassing four points through five games. Centre Matt Revel and defenceman Luke Zazula were next with three points each, followed by five Blazers who tallied two points each during exhibition play. Rearguard Nolan Kneen was the biggest fixture in the sin bin, compiling nine penalty minutes.

He went out on a high note as the Oil Kings won the WHL championship and the Memorial Cup in the 2013-2014 season.

The little things go a long way. Kamloops Storm head coach Ed Patterson had warned his club throughout the week — attention to detail and focus would be important in Friday night’s contest against the Osoyoos Coyotes. His team evidently didn’t get the message and dropped a 3-1 decision to the Coyotes at Memorial Arena, the club’s first loss of the 2016-2017 regular season. “They definitely deserved it,” Patterson said of Osoyoos. “When you have a young team, I was worried that was going to happen. We beat Chase when we didn’t deserve to beat Chase, 7-3. [We think] Life’s easy — 13 goals in the first two games. You don’t have to show up to play hockey, apparently, you just let it happen. “Hopefully they do learn from it. Hopefully it doesn’t take another one of these.” The Coyotes got off to a strong start in the first period, outshooting the Storm 13-8

It was the Kelowna-born netminder’s first goal against in a Storm uniform, a marker which broke a shutout streak of 86:47 to start the season.

“He played fantastic,” Patterson said. “He has been great through training camp, through exhibition, his mindset and everything has been phenomenal. His play has been great. That’s the guy I feel bad for.” Hometown Chase bested Kamloops 5-3 on Saturday, with Spencer Eschyschyn making 36 saves between the

Notching points on the weekend for Kamloops were Hayden Dick (2G, 1A), Garrett Ewert (1G, 1A), Kole Comin (1G), Nate Pelletier (3A), Evan Walls (1A), Tre Sales (1A) and Brendan Lane (1A).

It’s a first for the Kamloops Gymnastics and Trampoline Centre. The KGTC, in partnership with Gymnastics B.C., will play host to the 2017 B.C. Gymnaestrada provincials in May, an event that is expected to bring more than 500 athletes and 20 teams to the Tournament Capital next year. The event will take place on May 27 and May 28. The first day of the gymnaestrada will include workshops centred around the theme — In a land far, far away — while the second day will feature performances by the athletes in attendance. “Gymnaestrada a non-competitive gymnastics event,” said Bre Erickson, the performance and advanced recreational lead coach at the KGTC. She is also in charge of all gymnaestrada events with the centre and is part of the organizing committee for the 2017 provincials. “The belief is, it’s gymnastics for all, meaning it’s for all ages, all genders, all abilities. It’s basically just a showcase, a celebration of gymnastics.” The KGTC is the home centre for roughly 40

All performances are done on the floor. While they have a lot in common, gymnaestrada is different from its competitive counterpart. “There is some crossover between

the gymnasts — a lot of the gymnasts that I have within the gymnaestrada team at KGTC, they don’t want to compete,” Erickson said. “They’re not interested in being a competitive athlete. But they are interested in performing in front of an audience and being a part of a team. “That’s really where gymnaestrada is very different from com-

petitive gymnastics is you’re actually working within a team environment and you’re supporting that team.” Teams from across B.C., Alberta, the Yukon and Northwest Territories will be invited to attend the annual event. The KGTC had a number of athletes attend the World Gymnaestrada in Helsinki in 2015.

Use logic and process of elimination to solve the puzzle.

Travis Olson was fearing the worst, listening to winds howling somewhere near 90 kilometres per hour on Saturday night. The Kamloops Golf and Country Club’s superintendent pictured trees toppling and wondered how much damage would be done. “When the wind was blowing, I was thinking, oh, no. Trees are coming down like right now. I got here and thought it was bad, but it definitely could be worse,” Olson said yesterday. “We definitely got off pretty lucky.”

One tree fell on the perimeter of the parking lot beside the 10th tee box and about a dozen large tree limbs snapped off during the storm, along with hundreds of smaller ones. There were a few delayed tee times on Sunday morning, but KGCC head pro and general manager Brice MacDermott credited the grounds crew for clearing the course as quickly as possible. “We definitely have the most trees in town, so we’re the worst off, in terms of wind damage for trees,” Olson said. “It was pretty intense, the damage that we saw. “We just blew everything off into the periphery and got

In July of 2010, plow winds in excess of 90 km/h ripped through the 100-year-old course, causing irreparable damage.

RIVALRY RENEWED

CANADA, U.S. CLASH TONIGHT AT WORLD CUP JONAS SIEGEL

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Mike Babcock doesn’t want Team Canada getting “fat’’ after opening the World Cup of Hockey with a lopsided victory over the Czech Republic. Overconfidence can be dangerous in tournaments like this one, the Canadian head coach said. Babcock wants his team living “scared’’ instead, ready to combat a potentially irritable U.S. squad tonight. The U.S. was upset 3-0 in their preliminary round opener against Europe on Saturday. American head coach John Tortorella described the upcoming tilt with Canada as “our championship game’’. The Canadians expect to encounter a desperate opponent. “I know that if we were in that situation we’d be feeling that same way,’’ said Matt Duchene, who had an assist in Canada’s 6-0 win over the Czechs on Saturday. “They’ll be hungry,’’ added Logan Couture. “They know what’s at stake, so we expect them to play hard, to play chippy. It’s going to be a battle.’’ Battle could accurately describe the first of two pretournament games between the countries. The Americans won that testy affair 4-2 on Sept. 9, despite being outshot and outplayed. U.S. goalie Jonathan Quick was sharp, while Canada’s Carey Price, playing for the first time in almost 300 days, looked rusty. Canada handily won 5-2 the following night, outshooting the

Team Canada head coach Mike Babcock is warning his players about the dangers of overconfidence ahead of tonight’s matchup against the U.S. at the World Cup of Hockey.

U.S. a combined 81-48 over the two games and 64-35 at even strength. The Canadians then ran all over the Czechs in their first tournament game, backed by a dominant Sidney Crosby (three points) and a sharpened Price, the latter pitching a cool 27-save shutout. Babcock was selling humility in the aftermath, well aware of how quickly momentum can swing in a short tournament. “I said [Saturday night] after you win in the tournaments [like this] the tendency is [to] maybe get a little fat,’’ said Babcock, referring to overconfidence. “And after you lose the tendency is buckle down and really get going. [But] we have big boys who have been in a lot of these competitions, and we’ve been in a lot of them together, we understand what’s at stake.’’ Canada has won three

straight games by shutout in the best-on-best international format, dating back to the 2014 Olympics. They last allowed a goal in the quarter-finals of the Games in Sochi, shutting out the Americans (1-0) and Swedes (3-0) to close out a second straight gold medal. The Czechs generated few quality chances on Saturday, their best opportunity coming 41 seconds into the game when Ondrej Palat was stopped by Price. The Americans, meanwhile, outshot Europe 35-17 in dropping their first game of the tournament, but weren’t happy with the quality of chances they generated against Jaroslav Halak. The U.S. roster was also built less on speed and skill than on size and truculence, a potential disadvantage when goals are at a premium. Tortorella declined to say whether Dustin Byfuglien or Kyle Palmieri, scratched against the Europeans, would be re-inserted against Canada. “Tuesday is our championship game,’’ Tortorella said. “We knew we’d have to go through Canada. That game has just come earlier for us here right now and that’s the way we’re approaching it.’’ Babcock anticipated keeping the same lineup against the U.S., meaning Claude Giroux and Jake Muzzin will sit out once more. Babcock thought the upcoming affair had added importance to Canada because another game followed it on Wednesday night, the preliminary round finale against the Europeans. “Sounds to me like it’s going to be a lot of fun,’’ he said.

INJURIES HITTING NFL TEAMS HARD BARRY WILNER

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

From the top of the NFL to the bottom of the heap, teams are already feeling the pain. From injuries. Key performers are dropping like they’ve been through two months of the season, not two weeks. The latest: Adrian Peterson , Jimmy Garoppolo, DeMarcus Ware, Josh McCown, Danny Woodhead, Jonathan Stewart and Arian Foster. The Patriots, perhaps the league’s best team, appear to be

down to their third QB. The Browns, possibly the NFL’s worst team, are working on No. 3, rookie Cody Kessler. Most worrisome, though, is Peterson, the 2012 league MVP and Minnesota’s cornerstone on offence who has a torn meniscus in his right knee. He has remarkable recovery skills _ Peterson tore the ACL in his left knee in the second-to-last game of the 2011 season, then played all of 2012 and rushed for more than 2,000 yards. He was on crutches after the game, wearing a brace on his right leg.

Coach Mike Zimmer said Monday that the team is “exploring all options.’’ Usually, a torn meniscus requires several weeks of rehab before a player can return to the field. Garoppolo hardly is a star, with two pro starts on his resume. But he sure was doing a nice imitation of Tom Brady while the fourtime Super Bowl champion is serving his fourgame “Deflategate’’ suspension. Now Jimmy G’s immediate future is in doubt after taking a monstrous hit from Miami linebacker Kiko

Alonso on a secondquarter pass play. As usual, Patriots coach Bill Belichick isn’t supplying much info on his third-year quarterback, saying only the team will take a day-today approach. Rookie Jacoby Brissett finished off the win. Of the three significant injuries to running backs, Woodhead’s seems to be the worst. The versatile Chargers sparkplug was taken off the sideline on a cart with an apparent right knee issue. In their opener, the Chargers lost top wideout Keenan Allen for the year.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Siobhain Maureen McGarry

Jeannette Joy Michaud ‘Jenny’

January 23, 1978 – August 31, 2016

On Wednesday, August 31, 2016, Ms. Siobhain Maureen McGarry of Kamloops and formerly of Logan Lake passed away suddenly at her home at the age of 38 years. Siobhain will be forever remembered by her loving family including her beloved children Jeremy and Abbygayle of Kamloops, parents Bill and Linda McGarry of Logan Lake, siblings Liam (Tammy) McGarry of Barrie, ON, Kelly (Pauline) McGarry of Logan Lake and Jennifer Brennan (Jayson) of Kamloops, grandmother Joyce Knox of Port Colbourne, ON, nieces and nephews Cassandra, Kyle, Connor, Declan, Kieran, Courtenay and Ronan as well as many extended family and friends. Siobhain was born on January 23, 1978 on the Standing Buffalo Indian Reserve near Fort Qu’Appelle, Saskatchewan. She was raised and attended school in Logan Lake, BC.

Rita Phelan passed away peacefully surrounded by family.

It is with deep sadness we announce the passing of Jenny on September 4, 2016 at the Kamloops Hospice. Jenny passed away peacefully with her family at her side. She privately fought a ten-month battle with ovarian cancer with the utmost humour, strength and grace. Jenny was born a Hoffman in Vernon, BC on November 8, 1943. She married John Michaud on June 18, 1966 in Vernon and raised her family in Kamloops. She enjoyed the months she spent with John at their winter home in California with her kitties (whom she loved as equally as other creatures) and her novels. Jenny is survived by her husband of 50 years John, son Rod (Sandi) of Federal Way, Washington, daughter Shawn of Kamloops, daughter Shannon Escott of Kamloops and grandsons Adam (Amy) of Longview, Washington, Corey of Portland, Oregon and Brenden Escott of Kamloops. She is also survived by her uncle Harold Schultz (Donna) of Jasper, AB and brothers Wayne Hoffman (Karen) of Jasper, AB and Gerry Wols of Vernon, as well as many nieces and nephews.

A Funeral Mass will be celebrated by Reverend Fr. Boniface Ogbenna at 11:00 am on Saturday, September 24, 2016 at St. Michael’s Parish, 311 Opal Drive, Logan Lake. Interment will follow at the Whispering Pines Cemetery, Logan Lake, BC. A reception in the church hall will follow the interment.

Jenny was predeceased by her father Henry and mother Elsie in 2014.

Donations gratefully accepted for the Ask Wellness Society, 433 Tranquille Road, Kamloops, BC V2B 3G9.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund (ocrf.org) or the Kamloops Hospice Association.

Special thanks to Doctor’s Cribb, Peacock and staff for their above and beyond care. We would also like to thank the staff at the Kamloops Hospice for their exceptional care and kindness. No service as per Jenny’s request.

Rest In Peace Possie Condolences and tributes may be directed to the family by visiting www.nunes-pottinger.com

She was born and raised in Ireland where she met and married her husband Tom. They moved to Canada in the 60’s to persue work and raise their family. She was a devoted mother, grandmother and greatgrandmother. She was also a great supporter of the Kamloops Food Bank and many other organizations as well as helping people in need. Rita is predeceased by her husband Thomas Phelan and eight brothers and sisters. She leaves behind her son Joe (Juliette) Phelan and daughter Geri (Lee) Swanson, eight grandchildren Tom (Kristie), Della (Ryan), Dawne (Tony), Sandra (Dan), Amber (Len), Lacie (Michael), Shaun (Alicia) and Clayton (Ashley), as well as eleven great-grandchildren. Prayers will be held in Sacred Heart Cathedral, 255 Nicola Street, on Tuesday, September 20th at 7:00 p.m. The Funeral Mass will be celebrated in the Cathedral on Wednesday, September 21st at 11:00 a.m. Should friends desire, donations to the Kamloops Hospice Association, 72 Whiteshield Crescent South, Kamloops, BC V2E 2S9, would be appreciated in her memory.

Shirley E. Wright 1934 – 2016 On July 21, 2016 Shirley Wright passed away peacefully with family by her side. Shirley was born on May 7, 1934 in Ethelton, Saskatchewan. She was predeceased by her parents Willard and Helen (Longmore) Peardon and sister Glenda. Shirley is survived by her brother Gerald and three children Kathryn of Edmonton, AB, Brent (Maurija) of Milden, SK. and Gayle (Daryl) of Mukilteo, WA. She had six wonderful grandchildren Shannon, Kevin, David, Mark, Kristen and Amanda as well as eleven special great-grandchildren. In 1967, Shirley went back to school and earned her Nursing Assistant Certification from Saskatchewan Institute of Applied Arts and Sciences in Saskatoon, SK. In 1969 the family moved to Sparwood, BC. In 1972 we moved to Kamloops, BC where Shirley began her career as a L.P.N. and Ward Clerk at the Royal Inland Hospital (RIH). She remained at the RIH until her retirement. Shirley had a natural ability to care for people, both at work and in her personal life. Many were blessed by her compassionate care. In 2003, she moved to Rosetown, SK. Born and raised on the Prairies, she always spoke fondly of childhood memories in Loreburn, SK. In her retirement years, she focused on cross-stitch, scrapbooking and especially loved attending monthly get-togethers of an exclusive club made up of only “Shirley’s”. Some other favourite memories were traveling to watch Figure Skating Championships with her sister Glenda. She also loved visiting with grandchildren and great-grandchildren as well as spending many hours visiting on the phone with Family and Friends. Other past times she enjoyed were following Figure Skating and Curling on TV, Bingo on Thursday nights, Jigsaw Puzzles, Fall Colours, Prairie wheat fields and reading and writing in the “Family Letter”. In December of 2015, Shirley made a dream trip to Walt Disney World in Florida. There, she was thrilled to meet her favourite character Minnie Mouse and savour Breakfast with the Princesses at Epcot’s Akershus Royal Banquet Hall. Also, as she had a life-long love for “all things Crayola”, great fun was had at The Crayola Experience. February 22, 2016 marked the day Shirley would set out for a new adventure and moved from Rosetown, SK to Abbotsford, BC. As she flew in to Abbotsford, she exclaimed “Welcome to Beautiful Abbotsford!” We were blessed to have such a fiercely determined Mom on our side, cheering us on through life’s many ups and downs. She modeled endurance through difficult life challenges and a love for her family that was never-ending. When we think of her we will always remember a self-made independent Woman. She could communicate loud and clear without saying a word. She always loved a good joke, had a contagious laugh and a twinkle in her eyes. Mom, our “Nurse Angel”, we will miss you for always and love you forever – until we meet again. A special “thank you” to the Intensive Care Unit Staff at Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Cancer Care Center and Hallmark Assisted Living . A Memorial Service to be held in Loreburn, SK at a later date. Donations may be made to support research of Myeloma Cancer at www.myelomacanada.ca.

Preserve a special memory or create a lasting tribute to your loved one with your favourite photograph reproduced in the style of an oil painting on canvas. We have several styles for you to choose from. The portrait can be of the deceased or a family photo. The possibilities are endless. We have samples at both of our locations.

Tomio Nakashimada

February 10, 1924 – September 15, 2016 Tomio (Tom) Nakashimada passed away suddenly on Thursday, September 15, 2016. He spent a wonderful 92 years on this earth and will be fondly remembered for his kindness, generosity and quick wit. Tom was born in Victoria, BC on February 10, 1924. He is predeceased by his wife Sumiko (nee Kato), youngest daughter Julie, parents Kakutaro and Masayo, his older brothers Hideo and Mack. He is survived by his two sisters Mary and Betty (Sach), his children Rick (Maureen), Len (Melodie), Lori (Greg) and Gene (Tama), grandchildren Chris (Jessica), Stacey, Leanne (Ryan), Jessica (Ash), Kelsey (Richard), Brandon, Jaymie and Shota, great-grandchildren Kato, Miya, Linden, Rhys and Jaxon. After being interned during World War II, his father told him that he should get a trade as no one can take that away from you. So Tom became a HeavyDuty Mechanic and for 15+ years he owned his own garages in Kamloops and Salmon Arm. He returned to Kamloops to work for Van Kam, Canadian Auto Carriers and finished his career at the Kamloops Research Station. He was a member of the Kamloops Buddhist Church and the Kamloops Japanese Canadian Association. The Memorial Service will be held at 1:00 pm on Friday, September 23, 2016 at the Kamloops Buddhist Church, 361 Poplar St, Kamloops. In lieu of flowers or koden, the family requests a donation be given to the Kamloops Buddhist Church, 361 Poplar St., Kamloops, BC V2B 4B9.

EACH LOSS Each loss is very different, The pain is so severe. Will I ever stop missing This one I loved so dear? Good times we had together, The moments that we shared We didn’t have to tell each other How much we really cared. I never dreamed you’d go away, Never thought of sorrow. So sure you’d always be here Took for granted each tomorrow. Now my life is all confused Since you went away. You took a part of me And for help I daily pray. But when God sent you to me He never said that you were mine, That I could keep you always – Only borrowed for a time. Now, He’s called you home, I’m sad and I shed tears. Yet I’m glad He loaned you to me And we had these many years.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Kathleen Duckworth June 21, 1926 - September 13, 2016

Kathleen Duckworth (née Kitchen) went home to be with the Lord on September 13, 2016 owing to complications from Alzheimer’s disease. Her beloved daughters Elisabeth Duckworth and Dolores Duke were by her side until the end. Kathleen is also survived by her son Robert Duckworth and her daughter Valerie Zurkan, as well as her last remaining brother Keith Kitchen of Tennessee. She leaves behind her much loved grandchildren Melanie Dreyer (James), Amanda Stephens (Nick) and Timothy Page. She was proud of her great-grandchildren Faye, Luke, Benjamin and Aimee. She loved her cat Charlie, and took great delight in looking after him. Kathleen was predeceased by her one and only love, her husband Rev. Harold Duckworth. Dolores and Elisabeth wish to thank the wonderful care providers at Overlander Residential Care, first in Elm unit and then in Cottonwood. Their care, love and support of our mother was truly outstanding and will never be forgotten. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We also thank Dr. Howie for his oversight of our mum during her years at Overlander. We will have a remembrance reception for Kathleen on Sunday, September 25, 2016 from 1:00 – 4:00 PM, at 79 Nicola St. West, the home she shared for many years with Elisabeth, her best friend after our father passed away. We invite all friends of the family, both old and new, including those who cared for her, to drop in and visit with us and remember Kathleen for the sweet, gentle, unassuming lady she was. Interment will be at the Kinnaird Cemetery in Castlegar, BC.

Charles is survived by his loving wife Barbara, children Glen (Verna) Hart of Whitehorse, Brenda (Doug) Reed of Beaverdell, Robert (Kim) Hart of Kamloops, David (Carin) Hart of Prince George and Lee (Shinobu) Cook of Vancouver. He is also survived by his grandchildren Raymond (Kerrie), Russel (Andrea), Gordon (Chantel), Kerry (Lisa), Michelle (Gary), Richard, Tyler (Brittany), Kayla (Aubrey), Michelle (Colby) and Nicole (London), as well as sixteen great-grandchildren, brother and sister Deloris (Murdi) Pollon and Clifford (Fran) Hart, sister-in-law Dori Murry, sister-in-law Stephie Traynor, as well as a large extended family. Charles was predeceased by his father William, mother Yvonne, brothers Tom and Leonard and sister Mary. Bob was a man of integrity who truly loved his family and placed high value in his friends. A Celebration of Life will take place between 5:30 pm-10:00 pm on Saturday, October 8th, 2016 at the Royal Canadian Legion, 425 Lansdowne St., Kamloops, BC. The family wishes to thank the Doctors and Nurses at Royal Inland Hospital who looked after Bob in a compassionate and caring manner. To Ruth Kortzman and Bob and Kim for their care and concern – thank you for the calls and visits, they meant a lot.

On Sunday, September 18, 2016 at 4:30 pm our beloved grandfather, father, brother and uncle left this world, he was 72 years of age. He was predeceased by his mother Annie Alexis, his father Raymond Peters, sister Lila Rose Peters and brothers George Peters, Patrick Henry Peters, Peter Peters, J.P. Peters, Cordell Peters and Gary Casimir. He leaves behind three children Steven Little Cloud, Patrick Peters and Annie Rose Peters, plus numerous grandchildren, nieces and nephews. Cloudy was a welder and carpenter by trade, but an artist at heart; he did many carvings and paintings for his family. In his younger years he lived in the logging camp at Saddle Mountain and Schiedam Flats where he did a lot of horseback riding. As he grew older he moved to the main reserve and began riding a Harley and traveled throughout Canada, the United States and Mexico. His claim to fame was meeting Elvis Presley at the Seattle World Fair and shaking his hand. The Wake is being held at his home, 1214 Dakota Road starting at 1:00 pm on Tuesday, September 20, 2016. Burial will be held on Thursday, September 22, 2016 at 10:00 a.m. at TK’Pen-Pen Cemetery. A feast will follow at Moccasin Square Garden.

Does Pre-planning Require Pre-payment? Family owned & operated

The simple answer is just two letters: No. You can set plan to paper by simply recording your wishes, and leave it for your family to pay for your desired services at the time of your passing. Or, you can protect you and your family, by pre-funding your plan. This ensures your expenses will be covered when you need them to be.

Her Journey’s Just Begun by E. Brenneman

Don’t think of her as gone away, Her journey’s just begun. Life holds so many facets, This earth is only one. Just think of her as resting, From the sorrows and the tears, In a place of warmth and comfort, Where there are no days and years. Think how she must be wishing, That we could know today, How nothing but our sadness, Can really pass away. And think of her as living, In the hearts of those she touched, For nothing loved is ever lost; And she was loved so much.

DAVE EAGLES/KTW Motorists travelling along Notre Dame Drive have a new view of the Greyhound bus depot as Arborscapes Tree Services work to remove several tall pine trees on Sept. 13.

Greyhound to exit, property to be redeveloped ADAM WILLIAMS STAFF REPORTER adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

hanges are coming to the corner of Notre Dame Drive and Laval Crescent. And no, it’s not just the trees. KTW learned last week that the removal of the stand of mature trees from the grass area in front of the Greyhound Station on Notre Dame is just the start of a larger redevelopment for the area.

The plan will mean the end of the Sahali bus station, which has been on its current site for more than three decades. “We own the property, Greyhound is our tenant. They have elected not to stay on the prop-

erty,” said Morgan Nicholsfigueiredo, the property manager for the site. The station’s lease expires in the spring, at which point Greyhound will exit the building. “Now, we are again opening the discus-

sion with the city about redeveloping the property and a part of that development will include the landscape plan. The whole property will be all new landscaping everywhere.” Roughly 15 trees were removed

from outside the building last week. Kamloops depot manager Jason DeMaere said it was an unexpected move by the owner of the property — A.L. Sott (Notre Dame) Inc. “It was a surprise to us, as well as everybody else, about the trees,” DeMaere said. But perhaps more of a surprise is the future of the bus line’s home in the River City:

DeMaere had heard nothing of plans to redevelop the property on which the station sits when he first spoke to KTW. He was surprised, if not overly concerned, when notified of Greyhound’s plans to move. “I would think if stuff was going to be going ahead tomorrow or something like that, that I would be notified. I’ve been with Greyhound for 17 years,” DeMaere said. “They’re not just going to come to my door tomorrow and say, ‘OK, you’re moving.’

“I was under the understanding that they were in talks with the landlord. There’s possibly more going on.” Greyhound spokesperson Lanesha Gipson confirmed the company’s lease will expire in the spring and it will be looking for an alternative location, but it has not yet selected a site. “We don’t have many details on that, as of now,” she said. “We absolutely will be looking for another depot in Kamloops. At this time, we’re looking at potential alternate

locations.” Gipson said Greyhound does not, at this time, expect the move to be accompanied by any downsizing in staff. As for the building currently standing at 725 Notre Dame Dr., Nicholsfigueiredo said the aging Greyhound depot will be knocked down, with a new building to be erected in its place. He said he has meetings arranged with the City of Kamloops and city planners in the very near future to hash out plans for the site.

Invest Well. Live Well.

Top Tips for Estate Planning

Written by Eric Davis My father-in-law, Bryan, had two main loves in life: his family and golf. Sadly, he was diagnosed with terminal cancer and was gone within a few weeks. He left this world too soon but lived a good life with no regrets. Before Bryan passed away, my in-laws asked me to review their finances to help ensure a smooth transition. I took this as an honour. This process can feel overwhelming for those already going through an already difficult time. I would like to share some strategies that might help your family with their estate plans: 1)

For many it makes sense to have assets in joint names, namely: bank accounts, investments, vehicles, safety deposit boxes, household bills, et cetera). This can help to ease the transition, ensure no bills lapse and avoid probate.

There are some instances in which joint ownership may not make sense; for example, adding your adult child on to the title of your primary residence could jeopardize the asset in events like marital breakdown, business failures, and personal lawsuits. In addition, losing some of the tax-free capital gain allowance.

Have your Will reviewed every five years or after any major life event (marriage, divorce, birth of children, et cetera). Ensure your executor is willing and able to look after your estate, as well as, knows where to locate the will or has a copy.

Ensure Powers of Attorney (POA) are in place. POAs allow a trusted person to act on your behalf if you are unable for any reason. For example, they could pay your bills, complete your taxes or pick up your mail.

Consider setting up a Living Will that indicates which medical treatments are acceptable. In absence of this document, medical staff will take direction from the family which can lead to possible in-fighting or conflict.

www.kamloopsthisweek.com

11) Ensure Book Values (original costs) are known for tax purposes with respect to investments and real estate. 12) Since there are no taxes on gifts to adults, consider gifting to loved ones as a pre-inheritance. 13) There are significant tax-breaks for the philanthropic. We encourage people to donate while they are alive so the charity can thank them personally and it helps promote the virtue of giving.

Have beneficiaries on: Retirement Saving Plans, Retirement Income Funds, Tax-Free Savings Accounts (TFSA), insurance and pensions. Sometimes it is wise to name your Estate as beneficiary so the executor can apply the will, facilitate distribution and pay taxes.

Consider making your spouse the designated successor annuitant for TFSAs so they can retain the values in their Tax- Free account.

Because all immediate family are given a copy of the Will, it is best to communicate your general wishes in advance to help keep the peace after you are gone.

14) Insurance can help to replace income, pay taxes and it can be particularly useful for blended or complex families because it is paid out quickly, tax-free and privately (outside the will). There are additional opportunities for incorporated businesses. 15) Establish Trusts to minimize tax, avoid probate, ensure proper distribution of assets, provide income for life and retain privacy. The above is not an exhaustive estate planning list and it is difficult to cover all potential issues. Because every family has different dynamics and values, we strongly recommend that you seek professional guidance in building your estate plan. "In golf as in life, it is the follow through that makes the difference." ~ Anonymous Until next time…Invest Well. Live Well.

10) Create a "financial inventory" and attach it to your Will including the location of keys, safes and safety deposit boxes.

BUSINESS

Seeking to fill labour gaps in Kamloops area Government funding of $96,000 will allow Venture Kamloops and Community Futures Thompson Country to hire a consultant to develop a strategy to attract employees. The two agencies will conduct a labour market partnership study called the Kamloops Labour Attraction Partnership. In 2015, Venture Kamloops, the city’s economic development branch, received $117,000 in government funding for a labour market study that found 35,000 new jobs are expected to open in the region by 2025 and recom-

mended creating a strategy to take those jobs. The 2015 study found the most in-demand jobs expected in the region are for qualified and experienced tradespeople (5,200 jobs), as well as workers in health care (2,500), hospitality and tourism (1,100) and administration, finance and clerical staff (4,300 jobs). Nearly half of all new hires between 2015 and 2025 will need some post-secondary education, whether through a trade certification, college education or a university degree.

To create the labour market attraction strategy for Kamloops, a steering committee has been assembled. The initial phase of the project will see the committee consult with at least 100 local businesses before issuing a request for proposals. The consultant with the successful proposal will then create a sector-specific report that covers at least five areas and gives businesses strategies to increase the number of people moving to Kamloops to join the workforce. Members of the Labour

Attraction Partnership Steering Committee are Community Futures Thompson Country, the Interior chapter of the Human Resources Management Association, Kamloops Innovation Centre Society, Open Door Group, Thompson Rivers University’s career education department, British Columbia Lottery Corporation, Kamloops Chamber of Commerce and Thompson Rivers University’s healthy and productive workforce. The final report of the project is expected to be completed

in June 2017. “The Labour Attraction Partnership is a logical next step for our organization to take in response to the labour force issues identified last year,” Venture Kamloops executive director Jim Anderson said. Added Bill Kershaw, chair of Community Futures Thompson Country: “The Labour Attraction Partnership is a natural next step project that will undoubtedly prove to be an additional key resource for our clients and the business community, as it relates to the labour situation.”

Busy week ahead on nation’s business front THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Five things to watch this week in Canadian business: • Auto talks: Unifor’s contract with the Detroit Three automakers expired last night. The union, which represents about 23,000 auto workers in Canada, has set its sights on General Motors as it tries to secure more production at the automaker’s plant in Oshawa.

Diamonds officially open the $1-billion Gahcho Kue diamond mine in the Northwest Territories today. The opening comes at a time of increased volatility in the industry and follows the closure of De Beers’s Snap Lake diamond mine late last year. • The economy: Another batch of economic data will be rolled out this week. Tomorrow, Statistics Canada releases wholesale trade figures for July.

• Bank of Canada speech: Bank of Canada governor Stephen Poloz will speak in Quebec City today before the Association des economistes quebecois. Earlier this month, the central bank struck a cautionary note in keeping its key interest rate target at 0.5 per cent, acknowledging Canada’s relatively weak export sector. • Diamonds in the north: De Beers and Mountain Province

Removal intended to make site attractive to future tenants ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

It broke Alan Mott’s heart a little bit to do it. As the owner/operator of Arborscapes Tree Service got to work on the four-day project that would see roughly 15 mature trees removed from the corner of Notre Dame Drive and Laval Crescent, he couldn’t help but have mixed feelings. “It’s funny. I am an arborist by trade and a tree-hugger by nature and I was surprised that no one even came and gave me grief or asked me questions. I literally did that whole project without a complaint,” Mott told KTW. “The trees were perfectly healthy and I’m not ill-willing the

company in Vancouver, but it was tragic to see the trees go. They were kind of like a landmark for that corner. I understand progress, at the same time.” The landscaping project wrapped up last week and has certainly left the street corner with a different look. According to property manager Morgan Nicholsfigueiredo, it was necessary to remove the trees to make the site more attractive to future tenants. “The trees that were there, we felt as the landlord, were not going to be effective with the new development,” Nicholsfigueiredo said. “If you look what’s going on in the area — the commercial stuff across the street — retailers need visibility

in order to put their signs up and attract business. “These trees were very thick and they weren’t going to be conducive to the development that we’re planning.” Tree branches were chipped and sent to Cinnamon Ridge, Mott said, while some of the straighter logs were claimed by woodworkers in town who could make use of them for milling. There’s no bylaw prohibiting the removal of healthy trees from private property, he said. Bylaw supervisor John Ramsay confirmed there’s not much the city can do when the trees aren’t on city property. “In Kamloops, we’re actually not set up that way yet, like Victoria and Vancouver, where

you need to have permits in order to do any sort of tree removal in either public or commercial spaces,” Mott said. “As it stands right now, basically, you can cut down trees, free for all, whenever you want. We don’t have a permit system in Kamloops.” Mott said it’s his understanding more landscaping will take place on the corner, with low-growth shrubs and a handful of smaller trees taking root. Nicholsfigueiredo said the landscaping had to occur following Greyhound’s decision to move on from the site. “If they were staying there, I wouldn’t have done anything with the trees,” he said. “I wouldn’t have cared at all.”

NewLeaf to suspend flights KAMLOOPS ONE OF FOUR DESTINATIONS TO BE TEMPORARILY GROUNDED Kamloops Airport managing director Fred Legace said a typical NewLeaf flight will see 20 to 40 tickets sold in Kamloops. The Boeing 737-400s operated by the carrier can hold 150 passengers. On July 30, KTW’s ALlen Douglas snapped a shot of the first NewLeaf flight into Kamloops.

ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Less than two months after arriving in the Tournament Capital, discount airline NewLeaf Travel has announced it will suspend service to and from Kamloops for at least six weeks. The company said it will not fly to and from Kamloops, Victoria, Regina and Saskatoon from Nov. 1 to midDecember. Julie Rempel, director of corporate communications for NewLeaf, said the decision is based on numbers on planes, with the carrier looking to concentrate on its core flights, where it is selling the most tickets, while it adds more aircraft to its fleet. Rempel said focusing on those core routes will allow the company to

take bookings much further in advance, which the market demands. Three more planes will arrive by midDecember, but Rempel said it’s not yet clear if Kamloops will be back on the schedule at that time. “We wanted to take a hard look at the Kamloops market to make sure that when we come back, we will be flying on the days that people living in Kamloops and the sur-

rounding area want to fly on and to the places they want to go to,” she said. Rempel said the company does consider Kamloops “an important piece of the NewLeaf story.” Kamloops Airport managing director Fred Legace said the city hasn’t been the major source of passengers for the company’s Victoria-KamloopsEdmonton route, which runs Wednesdays

and Sundays. A typical flight will see 20 to 40 tickets sold in Kamloops. The Boeing 737-400s operated by the carrier can hold 150 passengers. Rempel said the company’s passenger load factor is about 45 per cent in Kamloops, compared to nearly 100 per cent in Abbotsford. Legace said if service returns in December, it will be good news for the city. “It lines up perfectly

with our ski season, so I’m really hoping we’ll see some improvement then,” he said. Whether NewLeaf will be back for good is another question, however. “I’m not a betting man,” Legace said. “I think our job here is to promote them to Kamloops as a community, make sure the community knows about the service they provide and help them be as successful as they can.”

My project is a market lamb named Kliff. He is friendly and I like to hug him. My favourite thing about 4-H is spending time with Kliff and helping at club fundraisers. I laughed so hard after my lamb was sheared, but I know Kliff felt better!

He is a Suffolk breed and his name is Digger. This is my first year in 4-H. Taking care of a lamb is a big responsibility, but I have grown to love it. I love my lamb and we are great friends. In our club we do fundraisers, such as helping at the Wildgame Banquet and at a wedding. I can't wait until next year when it all starts again!

In a poor economy, pets are being let go now having to give up their best friends. The Calgary Humane Society said it has noticed a jump in the number of pets being reluctantly being turned in by their owners since the economic downturn started in 2015. There were 1,500 pets surrendered to the society between Jan. 1 and Aug. 31, 2014. That number ballooned to 1,673 in the same period last year and sits at 1,635 so far this year, but there’s also been a huge jump in the number of strays being picked up.

CALGARY — Surrender never comes easily. An animal-information card at the Calgary Humane Society identifies the temporary resident inside as a greyand-white kitten named Marilyn who has been there since June 26. “I am an owner surrender,’’ reads a note in a section called “A little about me.’’ Many Calgarians, already dealing with layoffs, economic uncertainty and the potential loss of their homes, are

A humane society official said it’s gutwrenching for those who have to give up a member of the family. “It’s the last thing they want to do. Typically, they will go without a lot of things — without food, maybe they’ll skip rent for a month if they have to,’’ said Sage Pullen McIntosh, senior manager of community relations and communications. “They really want to keep their animals, but they’ve lost everything. “They have drawn on all the savings they have,

OTTAWA — The federal government expects the proposed expansion of the Canada Pension Plan to curb economic and employment growth slightly in the short term before boosting both of them in the long run. Ottawa reached a tentative agreement with provincial governments in June to eventually increase contributions and retirement benefits through the public plan. New data released by the Finance Department says CPP changes will have a temporary impact on jobs — lowering current employment-growth projections by up to 0.07 per cent. The government says the pension changes will also trim the forecast for real gross domestic product growth by up to 0.05 per cent over the short term.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Former Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling and others have agreed to a $2.5-million settlement to end their part of a lawsuit brought over Rhode Island’s disastrous $75 million deal with 38 Studios, his failed

day. Most are cats, but exotic or expensive pets such as snakes and reptiles are also growing in number. “They get very, very big,” she said. “They’re very expensive to care for and they’re not able to maintain that care, so they surrender them to us. They take longer to adopt so we do have a lot of exotics right now.’’ She said the humane society has been coping but it can be a struggle. “It is hard. When you adopt a cat out, you will get three more that same day.’’

But over the long term, the government predicts the pension changes will result in increased GDP growth of up to 0.09 per cent and a 0.06 per cent increase in employment. The new projections come as Finance Minister Bill Morneau appears before a parliamentary committee to address concerns that enhancing public pensions could further damage Canada’s struggling economy. Morneau has pushed hard to change the CPP, but the expansion is not yet a lock as Ottawa waits for British Columbia to put its make-or-break signature on the deal. Initially, every province except Quebec backed the agreement in principle and agreed to ratify it by a July 15 deadline. B.C. later declined to finalize the deal by that date, saying it needed more time

to explain it to the public and to seek feedback. The Finance Department estimates 1.1-million families are not saving enough for retirement. The federal government also estimates that by the 2021-2022 fiscal year, the CPP changes would cost about $260 million per year from the public treasury to help offset the additional financial burden that expansion would eventually place on lowincome earners. Ottawa will enhance its refundable working income tax benefit to help compensate eligible low-wage earners for the higher pension contributions. The new employee contributions will also be tax-deductible, which Ottawa expects would reduce government revenues by about $710 million by 2021-22.

video game company. If approved by the judge overseeing the lawsuit, the agreement filed with four 38 Studios officials brings an end to Schilling’s involvement in the case. Schilling has strenuously denied wrongdoing and said

the company failed in 2012 because the state didn’t do enough to help. Neither he nor the other company officials admit liability in the settlement with the Rhode Island Commerce Corp., the state’s economic development agency.

38 Studios agreed to move to Rhode Island from Massachusetts in 2010 in exchange for a $75 million state loan guarantee. It went bankrupt less than two years later. — The Associated Press

he recent canonization of Mother Teresa leaves many of us wondering how a person with such a dubious record of helping the poor could possibly be considered a saint. A 2013 study by the research team of Serge Larivée of the department of psychoeducation at the University of Montreal and colleague Geneviève Chénard, along with Carole Sénéchal of the University of Ottawa’s faculty of education found Teresa’s methods were at best cruel and degrading to those she was supposedly helping, rather than kind and loving. She took in millions in donations from such human-rights advocates as dictator Papa Doc Duvalier of

BILL LIGERTWOOD

Rational

THOUGHTS Haiti, among others. Rather than easing the suffering of those she supposedly cared for, Teresa revelled in it. “There is something beautiful in seeing the poor accept their lot, to suffer it like Christ’s Passion. The world gains much from their suffering,” was her reply to criticism, according to the late journalist Christopher Hitchens, a vocal critic of Teresa.

Teresa was antichoice and opposed to any kind of contraception. Doctors visiting her so called missions described them as “homes for the dying” with terrible hygiene and generally unfit conditions, lack of food and no painkillers. The report suggests that although her foundation raised hundreds of millions of dollars, it was less than generous with it to those in need. During numerous floods in India and following the explosion of a pesticide plant in Bhopal, she offered numerous prayers and medallions of the Virgin Mary, but no direct or monetary aid. Teresa certainly could have used some of the millions she raised to build hospitals or proper clinics, but it all went to the

Catholic church. No wonder they consider her a saint. The study said that although her work probably inspired many humanitarians to help the poor and sick around the world, Teresa certainly could not be considered one of them. It is somewhat ironic that near the end of her life, she questioned her own faith. No wonder. We’re still waiting to see if the church will consider canonizing others who donated millions, yet created all kinds of pain and suffering. I’m afraid Mother Teresa was about as far from saintly as one could get. The study is available online at http:// tinyurl.com/hufowun. imaginenoreligion.ca

Minister: Keeping B.C.’s forest sector competitive

ational Forest Week is a time to reflect on the importance of forests to Canadians, not just as an economic generator but for all the recreational, environmental, wildlife and other values that help define who we are as a nation. Here in B.C., our approach to forestry has come a long way since the industry’s early days when the primary focus was on harvesting trees. Today, we have a much deeper understanding of the interdependent nature of all that our forests have to offer. That understanding forms the foundation of my ministry’s recently released forest competi-

STEVE THOMSON: Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations

tiveness agenda, which maps out the government’s plan to help keep B.C.’s forest sector competitive by focusing on three interrelated goals: healthy, resilient forests; a diverse, globally competitive industry; and stable communities and First Nations. The agenda contains 49 strategic actions — from expanding markets

for B.C. wood products around the world, to supporting research in new wood-construction technologies and nontraditional uses of wood fibre, to investing money and resources into restoring forests impacted by wildfire and mountain pine beetle. B.C. is one of the world’s largest exporters of softwood lumber, a significant global producer of pulp, paper and bioenergy and a global leader in the production of high-quality wood products from sustainably managed forests. About 52 million hectares of B.C.’s land base are certified to internationally recognized standards for sustainable forest management, an important ‘green advantage’ for our

international customers. B.C.’s forest sector is vital to our economy and our communities, supporting 65,500 wellpaying jobs and more than 140 rural economies. Our new forest sector competitiveness agenda aims to maintain forestry as a driving force behind B.C.’s economy — especially in rural communities — and sets the stage for the future of the industry throughout the province. Like the theme for this year’s National Forest Week, B.C. is doing its part to keep the “true north strong and green.” — Steve Thomson, Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations

Learn about Canada’s forests this week Sept. 18 to Sept. 24 is National Forest Week, a time to learn about Canada’s forests and their importance. This year’s theme is True North — Strong and Green. National Forest Week is sponsored nationally by both governmental and non-governmental associations, including the Canadian Forestry Association, the Sustainable Forestry Initiative and the Canadian Institute of Forestry. National Forest Week, originally known as Forest Fire Prevention Week, was established in the 1920s. The intention was to encourage greater public awareness of Canada’s forests. “Since then, National

Forest Week has evolved to encompass the many and varied human and environmental aspects of Canada’s forest resources — past, present and future,” according to the Canadian Forestry Association. “Although special activities are promoted across Canada, National Forest Week remains first and foremost a challenge to individual Canadians to learn more about their forest heritage and support greater recognition of this valuable resource.” National Tree Day, recognizing the benefits trees provide, is Sept. 21. Cities around the country will host tree-planting events.

Forestry week

Helping Canadians find jobs in the forest sector

rowing up in the Ottawa Valley, I appreciated from a young age the importance of the forest sector to our local economy. My brother and I were fortunate enough to earn good money in the summer on the same corrugated box making factory floor where my grandfather and father earned their livelihoods. Years later, as the CEO of the national forest products association and, after seeing significant innovation and transformation across the industry, I am reminded that forest sector jobs continue to be rewarding and good-paying jobs in some 200 forest communities across Canada. With more than 230,000 direct forestry jobs in Canada today, we continue to see opportunities on the horizon for young and more experienced workers in a host of job areas in forest operations, at mills, head offices and in the design, marketing and manufacturing of innovative forest products. These jobs are not just supporting families and local economies, but they are also green jobs — bringing real benefit to the

environment for all of us through sustainable forest management and the creation of environmentally friendly, forestsourced products. One of the biggest labour challenges in our industry today is ensuring that we have the right people trained to do the jobs that are going to be in demand not only today, but tomorrow. The Forest Products Association of Canada’s launch in June of our new job-matching tool with the Hon. MaryAnn Mihychuk, Federal Minister of Employment, Workforce and Labour, will be a critical tool to support matching job hunters with job opportunities, thereby supporting economic growth in communities across Canada. This new tool (thegreenestworkforce.ca), which is free for both employment seekers and employers, will not only sup-

port those looking for work in the forest sector, but it will also provide advanced labour market information that can be used to help forestry companies with their recruitment efforts, allow governments to develop public policies to better address employment needs, and support our high schools, colleges and universities by informing students about the career opportunities that exist in Canada’s forest sector. It will also promote the Canadian indus-

try’s world-leading track record of environmental sustainability and how rewarding a career in the forest sector can be. One of the things that has dramatically changed since my summer stints on the plant floor in Pembroke, Ont. is the technological transformation across industry. From the sophisticated software that helps run everything from our mills to our back-end delivery systems to the innovative new uses for wood

products (clothing, cosmetics and even parts for the interior of your car) to the various technologies that help us maintain our sustainable forestry models and practices, the images of the traditional lumberjack are more than a little outdated. As visitors to our new job-matching tool can attest, today’s modern forestry operations are looking for engineers, computer scientists, biologists, mill operators, environmental scientists and specialists in

human resources, communications, the law, accounting and finance. And yes, forestry companies will always need foresters and loggers too. The industry has changed a great deal. It’s more diverse, more high-tech and more sophisticated in its pursuit of sustainability. Those advances, according to an international survey (fpac. ca/leger) released earlier this year, have helped our industry earn the best reputa-

tion in the world for its environmental practices. Canada’s forest sector will continue to innovate and transform in the years to come and will continue to remain the lifeblood of communities across the country. Our hope is that this new job-matching tool will help even more Canadians find quality, good-paying jobs in the forest sector. — Derek Nighbor, CEO, Forest Products Association of Canada

TRU student dreaming

GREEN

When Thompson Rivers University student Olivia Watt initially applied for a Green Dream internship offered by the Forest Products Association of Canada (FPAC), the Canfor Human Resources intern did not anticipate what would happen next. While working at the head office for Canadian Forest Products Ltd., Watt said she was surprised and excited when she heard her application was chosen. “I couldn’t recall exactly what they even told me,” she said. Since starting her full-time job in May with Canfor’s human-resources department and talent acquisition team, Watt was fully engrossed with her responsibilities that include assisting with job postings and co-ordinating interviews. Within this role, Watt regularly interacts with candidates and operations staff and has also been able to learn about various career paths within the forestry industry. Launched in 2013, FPAC’s internship program was designed by FPAC and its members to raise awareness among college and university students and tell them about job opportunities in the forest sector. The goal was to connect the industry with the next generation of workers and help those choosing career

paths to become aware and enthused about a career in the forest industry. Watt, who has returned to Kamloops to continue her studies in human resources, said she liked that her internship allowed her to integrate the labour market information (LMI) tool FPAC showed them during orientation. Called The Greenest Workforce Job Match Tool, FPAC’s first-of-its-kind online tool assists with matching job openings at Canadian forest-products companies with job seekers as well as providing detailed labour market information about the sector. “It’s so helpful because people looking for jobs in forestry can get what they

need easily as everything is listed right in front of them,” Watt said. The online LMI is searchable at the national, provincial and regional levels, as well as by occupation. This market information aims to help employers make sound business and human resources decisions, assist industry associations and post-secondary institutions to address skills issues and reduce the likelihood of new skills shortages in the industry. For employers, the Job Match Tool means quick, efficient access to a national talent pool. All employers in the Canadian forest products sector can post jobs, use the tool to identify candidates, and access trends and other data to help guide company HR strategies. The new tool is also expected to boost employment by bringing employers and job seekers together more quickly, thereby reducing the lag between an employer’s decision to hire and the time that the post is actually filled.

Safety advice for hunters using forestry roads Hunting season started this month, which has prompted the government to issue safety advice for hunters travelling the same terrain as forestry workers use. Here are some safe travel tips for members of the public who do not use resource roads regularly: • Resource roads are dirt or gravel and may be one or two lanes wide. Expect to see logging, mining and other trucks. A loading log truck can weigh 10 times more than a regular pick-up truck, has limited maneuverability and can take up to 300 feet to stop. ‘Down’ or ‘loaded’ traffic has the right of way. It is good practice to yield to all industrial vehicles. Pull into a designated pullout when possible or as far over to the right, stop and give them enough

space to pass. • Two-way radios are recommended for safe travel on resource roads. Radios can be rented at radio communication shops in many small and large centres. Designated radio channels are posted at the beginning of all resource roads. Note that in 2016 resource road radio channels throughout B.C. changed to RR channels. Radios may need to be reprogrammed. • Most resource roads have speed limits posted at the beginning of the road (generally 60 to 80 km/h). Reduce speed depending on the road conditions, traffic flow and road maintenance crews. Always obey the posted rules of the road. • Wait until you can see clearly. Do not drive in the

dust of the vehicle ahead and, if pulled over, wait for the dust to settle if a vehicle has passed you in the opposite direction. Travel with headlights on at all times. If you need to stop or pull over, do so at a designated pullout or a straight stretch of road with good visibility. • Never pass a vehicle unless it pulls over and indicates that it is safe to do so. Even when indicated it is safe, pass cautiously. • As a general rule, as kilometre markings go up, you are travelling farther from town. Pack extra emergency supplies (first-aid equipment, water, food and blankets) and let someone know where you are going and when you are expected back.

Unlawful wood harvesting results in fines

he Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations is warning British Columbians who use wood-burning fireplaces or wood stoves to ensure their wood was harvested legally. However, people who cut, collect or use firewood must ensure it was harvested legally. Before members of the public collect any firewood, they must first obtain a free use permit for firewood to verify gathering firewood is allowed in that area and to ensure they adhere to local regulations. Cutting down trees on Crown land without an appropriate permit (or selling any such firewood) is an ongoing concern in British

Columbia. This activity is illegal and could result in a violation ticket or fine. Over the past 18 months, naturalresource officers from the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations issued $14,878 worth of violation tickets related to unauthorized wood harvesting. The government has also collected $156,179 in administrative penalties from unauthorized commercial ventures. Unlawful firewood collection can also create safety hazards for recreationalists and other forest users and can negatively affect ecosystems — including fish and wildlife habitat. Firewood collection permit facts: • A free use permit

In the last year-and-a-half, the provincial government has issued $14,878 worth of violation tickets related to unauthorized wood harvesting and collected $156,179 in administrative penalties for unauthorized commercial ventures.

for firewood costs nothing and allows an individual to collect and transport firewood from eligible Crown land for their personal use. • This firewood permit is available at local natural resource dis-

trict offices or online at gov.bc.ca/firewoodpermits. • The permit must be signed and carried by the person who is collecting the firewood. • To find out where firewood harvesting is

prohibited in B.C. (for example, on lands set aside for conservation purposes or another public use), contact the local natural resource district office. • For each naturalresource district, the firewood permits

and associated documents describe the areas where firewood collection is permitted, allowable collection methods and the amount of firewood that can legally be harvested. • The public can do

its part to stop illegal harvesting by purchasing firewood only from legitimate producers who sell wood obtained either on private land or through authorized Crown land harvesting tenures. • Anyone buying firewood should ask where the firewood comes from (Crown land or private land) and ask for a record of purchase. • For firewood that’s been harvested on private land, the buyer should ask the seller for the district lot number and timber mark number. • For firewood that’s been harvested on Crown land, legitimate commercial firewood producers should have a forestry licence to cut document signed by the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations.

Partnership to help identify forestry labour demands

he provincial government and the BC First Nations Forestry Council (BCFNFC) have entered into a new labour market partnership project. It sets the stage for helping aboriginal groups, forest industry companies and skills and training services providers prepare and understand forestry related labour opportunities at the community or territorial level. The B.C. government has spent more than $80,000 through the Sector Labour Market Partnership Program to the BCFNFC to lead the First Nations Regional Forestry Opportunity Studies Engagement project.

The goal is to bring together aboriginal communities, forestry-sector employers and other partners, including the Aboriginal Skills Employment Training Strategy, so they can identify the forestry labour demands and opportunities in various B.C. regions. The project is expected to finish in January. It is the first phase of a broader initiative to give First Nations residents training and support for forestrysector jobs, including forestry and logging, silviculture, pulp and paper and solid wood. The project also supports the work BCFNFC has been doing to help several First Nations identify their role in the forestry workforce in their communities.

“B.C.’s forestry sector is a key driver of our province’s economy, contributing over $7 billion and providing more than 65,000 jobs each year,” said Shirley Bond, minister of jobs, tourism and skills training. “We want aboriginal peoples in B.C. to have the information and support they need to take advantage of the various forestry sector related opportunities in their communities.” Chief Bill Williams, president of B.C. First Nations Forestry Council, lauded the program. “Building skills is a requirement that needs particular attention and support if we wish to maintain a productive and safe workforce,” he said. “The diversity of First Nations communi-

Columbia Labour Market Development Agreement. The program helps employers understand and respond to changing labour market demands and ensures training and education programs in B.C. are aligned with industry’s labourmarket needs and priorities.

• Victoria has signed forestry agreements with 177 First Nations since 2002, providing $382 million in revenue-sharing and providing access to 180-million cubic metres of timber. • In 2015, B.C.’s forest sector directly supported 65,500 jobs. • B.C. is one of the world’s largest exporters of softwood lumber and a significant global producer of pulp, paper and bioenergy. It accounts for more than onethird of Canada’s forest products exports. • Two-thirds of B.C.’s land base, or 55-million hectares, is forested. Despite the impact of the mountain pine beetle in the Interior, B.C. forests have millions of hectares of quality commercial tree species and a fraction of one per cent is harvested annually.
