WALKING HOME

Zaa Joseph, Patsy Seymour, Karle Nooski and elder Victor Joseph make their way along Highway 16 West as they head towards Prince George on Sunday while participating in the Walk Home from Lejac. The walk honoured those who made the journey trying to escape the residential school in Lejac. The walk started on Saturday from the site of the former residential school in Lejac and finished at the bandshell in Lheidli T’enneh Memorial Park on Sunday.

THREE CHARGED IN DRUG-RELATED HOMICIDE MARK NIELSEN Local Journalism Initiative Reporter

In what may be a step toward cracking a five-year-old cold case, three men have been arrested and charged in connection with a shooting death of a prominent figure in the city’s drug trade.

Cuyler Richard Aubichon, 26, Kelly Micheal Richet, 37, and Christopher Ryan Russell, 34, are now in custody, each facing a charge of manslaughter with a firearm in connection with the death of Robert Lee Milligan.

On the night of June 15, 2016, Milligan was found shot to death in the driveway of a 3600-block Forest Avenue home. He was 33 years old at the time.

Milligan was perhaps best known for his ties to Jason Alexander Hall.

They were partners in a scheme that saw Hall sell $27,000 worth of marijuana in August 2012 to what he thought was a businessperson but turned out to be an

Three men have been charged with manslaugher in the June 2016 death of Robert Lee Milligan. undercover RCMP officer.

A former president of the Renegades Motorcycle Club, Hall had fallen on hard times. He had closed the doors on a failed

downtown business, Wiseguys Clothing.

The undercover officer was posing as a Toronto businessesman interested in selling a clothing line owned by Hall. Unable to close the deal on the clothing line, Hall tried to maintain his association by agreeing to help with some illegitimate business transactions.

In March 2015, Hall, then 45 years old, was gunned down while awaiting trial on the matter. Responding to a report of a man down on the corner of Fifth Avenue and Gillett Street, police found Hall suffering from serious injuries. He was taken to hospital where he died later the same day.

The case remains unsolved.

In August 2015, Milligan was sentenced to one year in jail for procuring a portion of the marijuana.

During a sentencing hearing on the matter, the court heard that Milligan was fearing for his life after Hall was killed and had been on administrative lockdown for 23 hours a day at Prince George Regional

Correctional Centre due to concerns about his safety.

Like Milligan, Aubichon, Richet and Russell are all known to the police and courts.

Aubichon gained particular prominence as the target of a March 2016 arrest for which three Prince George RCMP officers now face criminal charges after the apprehension was caught on camera showing an officer using a police dog to pull him out of a stolen pickup truck. Aubichon has also filed a civil lawsuit in relation to the matter.

In April 2020, Aubichon was banned from coming within 50 kilometres of Prince George for two years for his role in the violent robbery of a couple at a local motel.

As for Richet and Russell, in July 2018 they were respectively sentenced to seven and six years in prison for a 2016 shooting of a man in Mackenzie.

Less times served prior to sentencing, Richet had four years and five months left to serve while Russell has three years and 11 months to go at the time.

INDIGENOUS OPIOID RESPONSE FUND APPLICATIONS OPEN HANNA PETERSEN

Indigenous communities in northern B.C. can now apply for funding to help support local opioid response efforts.

The Pounds Project and First Nations Health Authority (FNHA) have partnered to create the Northern Indigenous Opioid Response Fund which is now open for applications.

“The intent of the fund is to support really creative and like community-specific responses to the drug poisoning epidemic and the way that Indigenous people are being so disproportionately affected by fatal overdose rates,” said Jordan Stewart, executive director of the Pounds Project.

FNHA reports that in 2020, 254 First Nations people died due to toxic drugs which is a 119 per cent increase from 2019 and the highest number of toxic drug deaths recorded for First Nations since 2016 when the province of BC first declared a public health emergency.

First Nations individuals make up 3.3 per cent of BC’s population yet account for almost 15 per cent of toxic drug deaths in 2020. This is an increase from 11.8 per cent in 2019.

The new funding is intended for rural communities as well as urban and municipal hot spots that are serving Indigenous people who use substances and are living away from their home communities. This includes places like Prince George, Terrace and Quesnel.

“Those larger communities are eligible to receive up to $50,000 and then our smaller northern communities are eligible for up to $20,000,” said Stewart. “Best-case scenario like the impact of this fund is going to be live saved, and in addition to that we also have a strong mentorship program in place for recipients of the fund.”

Stewart said mentorship and guidance will be provided for groups or communities looking to initiate on the ground projects in overdose prevention work or who are working with people who have lived experience with substance abuse.

“It’s also about connection building and

“The intent of the fund is to support really creative and like community-specific responses to the drug poisoning epidemic and the way that Indigenous people are being so disproportionately affected by fatal overdose rates.” strengthening our network in the north.”

The Pounds Projects has already supported a number of creative and low-barrier initiatives that align with this new funding.

“We have worked with a small regional community to increase nursing support for a registered nurse who provides mental health and addiction support to individuals using substances in that community,” explained Stewart.

Another project they funded was a clean team in Quesnel which where people with current living experience of substance abuse do daily cleanups in the community.

“That combination of really positive and meaningful employment, for people who use substances, combined with that positive community impact that break down stigma of substance use, those are all things that are completely in line with this fund.”

They have also supported mobile outreach for individuals who are using substances in rural and isolated communities.

Stewart said they hope to fund 20 to 30 applications, which will be reviewed on a first-come-first-serve basis.

More information can be found through the Pounds Project Facebook Page and those wanting an application package can contact NIORF@thepoundsproject.com.

Council denies apartment development in Hart HANNA PETERSEN

City council won’t be moving forward with a proposed three apartment development in the Hart, near the intersection of Chief Lake Road and Sparwood Road.

Kidd Real Estate Holdings’s proposed Sparwood Landing project consists of three 43-unit apartment buildings with a total of 120 units featuring one, two and three-bedroom suites.

Developer Bruce Kidd had applied for necessary rezoning and Official Community Plan (OCP) amendments needed to facilitate the development in the predominately single-family home neighbourhood.

However, city staff recommended council deny the amendments because the proposed buildings are larger in scale than those typical to the neighbourhood and the location has limited connectivity to transit services and daily needs amenities.

“It’s the siting of three apartment buildings being mid-block surrounded by single-family dwellings on both sides,” said Deanna Wasnik, acting director of planning, at last night’s (July 26) council meeting.

“The OCP directs us to have multi-family housing fronting arterial streets so often times there is already transit sidewalks there so that folks living in those residences could have easy access to services such as transit or amenities nearby such as shopping.”

In the proposal, access to the apart-

“I did a lot of homework and research and I couldn’t find a way to support it because it doesn’t fit with the form and character of the neighbourhood and that designation was intended along those arterial roads,” said Coun. Cori Ramsay.

“There’s been some concerns about the width of Chief Lake Road, the lack of public transit and sidewalks and a number of issues in the area and I think by adding 120 suits in that area the issues would just be compounded,” said Coun. Brian Skakun.

“Mr. Kidd has done a lot of investment especially on the Hart Highway and the

Hart Highway is booming but in this case I support administration.

“It’s just not in the right place at the right time.”

When it came to a vote, the application which was in initial stages before it required a public hearing, was unanimously defeated by council.

Downtown PG seeks to clamp down on graffiti MARK NIELSEN

A campaign has been launched to make downtown Prince George graffiti free.

Anyone who sees a tag or a scrawl on the side of a building is urged to contact the city by calling 311, sending an email to 311@princegeoge.ca or send a message the through City of Prince George mobile app.

From there, a crew from GroundWorkPG, an employment training program provided through a local social agency, will be called out to paint over the item.

Downtown Prince George executive director Colleen Van Mook said she has seen more graffiti in the last 18 months than in the previous five years and not just in the alleyways but also on doorways and doorsteps and other “creative places.”

Van Mook said the program will help businesses who can’t quickly get to the task of dealing with the graffiti themselves.

“It’s more a cover up program where we’re trying to cover up the graffiti and property owners that want to go further and paint their full walls, that’ll be their responsibility,” Van Mook added.

Prince George RCMP Cst. Jennifer Cooper said it’s good to deal with the graffiti as quickly as possible.

“Prompt attention to removing or covering graffiti is important to decrease the possibility of vandals ‘adding on’ and contributes to the best outcome of the

Places where graffiti but no suspects are found can also be reported through the detachment’s online reporting tool at https:// ocre-sielc.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/princegeorge.

Many homeless people want to find a way to get off the streets of Prince George. The first step for many is to overcome their addiction.

First steps to take to combat drug addiction CHRISTINE DALGLEISH

When The Citizen speaks to the homeless people on the streets of Prince George the most requested thing is a home.

One of the biggest barriers to that is having an active addiction so being free of that addiction becomes the priority.

But what are the first steps toward achieving that?

“It’s made challenging by multiple things,” Dr. Lawrence Fredeen, said, who is a general practitioner in the Northern Health Authority and started the Nechako Treatment Centre 18 years ago.

“We are truly needing to understand the extent of trauma that plays into addiction. I think what we’re seeing here is the result of long-standing trauma and there is trauma in many forms that people are exposed to. I truly believe that no one sets out to be addicted or homeless so it’s not something that anyone chooses but as a result of life’s events it occurs and they are powerless over it.

Finding supports for not only addiction but for things such as trauma-informed counseling is really critical to help people move forward, housing is important, good health care and of course food and water.”

It’s a complex issue and something that’s been present in the world for centuries, Fredeen added.

Alcohol is still the number one addiction in terms of use, mortality rate, illness, time lost from work and injury.

“We can’t forget that as opioids take over there’s a huge push to treat and to have access to risk mitigation strategies and so-called safe opioids but the biggest risk in our society is still alcohol,” Fredeen said. “In terms of access the first step is simply to call detox so when people make that decision we can usually get people in within 24 to 48 hours.”

The only detox centre in the Northern Health Authority is the Nechako Treatment Centre where there is 21 beds available.

“It’s not adequate, by no means,” Fredeen said. “But

there are beds available in every individual hospital in all communities but people don’t access them because they are unaware of them and it also comes down to staff feeling uncomfortable dealing with acute withdrawal.

“So our unit frequently sees people come from as far away as Fort Nelson and Prince Rupert. That’s a long drive when you’re detoxing. So what we need is more dedicated units across the North with staff comfortable with addictions.”

Detox, in terms of treatment, is not the only step that needs to be taken but it is a good entry point.

Detox includes helping people by supporting their withdrawal by using for example an opioid agonist like methadone.

There are also support group meetings and people will be offered workbooks - like one for cocaine and one for trauma - there is also assistance for people to get connected to a physician and a treatment program.

“There are a lot of programs across the province but it’s not ideal because there is no standardization of the treatment programs that are offered,” Fredeen said. “There are different requirements and different admission forms for each program so it’s not ideal.”

Limited beds is an issue but there are now more First Nations programs available but wait times are still between two to four months long.

“Which again is far from ideal,” Fredeen said.

Some programs don’t accept a person who is on a particular medication, and the time it takes to get funding and go through the application process can make the whole process quite daunting, Fredeen added.

“If you’re recovering from addiction and suddenly decide “I want to make this change’ and then being told you’ve got to wait potentially months to get into a program - that could be devastating,” Fredeen said.

He does believe that we are moving in the right direction.

Defenceman Manning taking his NHL savvy to Germany TED CLARKE

Brandon Manning’s hockey career has taken him all over Canada and the United States - with NHL stops in Philadelphia, Chicago and Edmonton - but never has he dug in his blades overseas, until now.

On Saturday morning, the 31-year-old defenceman boarded a plane at Prince George Airport, with his wife Shea-Marie and their 13-week-old daughter Nora, on their way to Germany.

Manning has signed a one-year contract to play in the Deutsche Eishockey Liga for the Straubing Tigers, resuming his pro career after a one-year hiatus.

“I think it will be fun, after taking year off and having the birth of our baby girl I’m looking forward to the routine of playing competitive hockey again,” said Manning, a Prince George minor hockey product who totalled 14 goals, 48 points and 254 penalty minutes in 255 games over eight NHL seasons.

“Looking at the way the last couple years have gone for me, with free agency pushed back this year, there’s been so much uncertainty going on and we just wanted to know what we’re going to do and kind of made a commitment three months ago that we’re going to do this.”

Manning’s best friend Jason Akeson and four-year American Hockey League

teammate signed this season with the Tigers after leading the DEL in scoring last season with Kölner Haie (Cologne Sharks).

They will living next door to each other in Straubing, a Bavarian city of 44,000, northeast of Munich.

“He’s been over there in Germany for three or four years and him and his wife are expecting a baby next month,” said Manning. “We did a bit of package deal and got townhouses right beside each other so the women will have their girls with them and me and him have each other, so it’s definitely a lot easier on all of us, especially Shea and Nora.”

Manning still has a home in Prince George in the Aberdeen Glen subdivision and lives next door to Stew Malgunas, also a former Philadelphia Flyer defenceman who, like Manning, was born and bred in P.G. Malgunas ended his 13-year pro career in 2003 after two seasons with the Frankfurt Lions and he helped persuade Manning to go to Straubing. The Tigers’ general manager, Jason Dunham, an Edmonton native, played in Frankfurt with Malgunas.

“Stew loved it, and living next door to him he kind of pushed us to go over and experience it and see what it’s all about,” said Manning.

“I think it’s come a long way with how they take care of you over there, setting you up with a house and vehicle.”

Radical Sex Witches - a ‘It’s not just local podcast success about addiction’ CHRISTINE DALGLEISH

With more than 3,000 downloads since they started their podcast in March the Radical Sex Witches have reached a pinnacle where they will now gear up to take it to the next level.

Leah Coghlan and Carla Wainwright are the Radical Sex Witches who are trying to reach those who are looking for more pleasure, turn on and a deeper connection to their own body. Wainwright, who used to be a wildlife biologist, switched gears to become one of the founding owners of Chinook Yoga Studio, a sexual empowerment coach, as well as focusing on healing, breath work and tantric embodiment.

“I’ve always felt a deep connection to the healing arts and the mysteries of the world and nature and I was also really interested from a young age in witches and all of those sorts of magical things and on my path in yoga I became more and more connected to the power of the embodiment of the devine feminine and how our innate sexual power is really an incredible healing force and a way to expand our consciousness,” Wainwright said. “So just through my own journey and experience and working with hundreds and hundreds of women I felt like this was actually my true calling and I’ve been doing this now full time for many years.”

Coghlan and Wainwright met about three years ago when Wainwright hired Coghlan as an assistant to help manage her business.

“We’ve become very close friends and we’re aligned in so many ways,” Wainwright said. “Then we started to do this podcast together in March. I wanted to start sharing my knowledge on a new platform and it had been circulating in my mind for a while and I told Leah I wanted to do a podcast and she said ‘I really want to do a podcast!’ and then we said let’s do one together.”

The feedback they’ve gotten is that they’re really good together.

“It’s seems we’ve created a whole lot of magic with our listeners,” Coghlan said.

“Doing the podcast together does add a

bit more spice. For us it’s about giving two different women’s perspectives on some racier kind of taboo topics - you know her and I talk about this stuff all the time maybe these are things people are thinking about but not really saying out loud and that’s my life and that’s my mouth that has zero filters.”

Wainwright thinks her knowledge and Leah’s engaging personality is a winning combination.

“Leah is incredibly funny and rather than just me talking and probably being a whole lot more boring - together we’re so much more dynamic and of course interactive and interesting to listen to because I think we’re a really good complement to one another,” Wainwright said.

Coghlan said they loosely script the show to prep each show to make sure it’s very free flowing.

“I think that’s what makes the conversation more authentic,” Coghlan said, who is known as Little Leah on the show.

The only promotion they’ve done for the show is to include information about it in an already well-established newsletter Wainwright sends out and Instagram, Coghlan said.

“Now people are telling us to start our own Instagram page and really looking to launch the podcast,” Coghlan said. “So we’re going to see if we can start to monetize down the road - knock on wood. We’re considering starting a Patreon to see if we can take this to the next level.”

Patreon is a membership platform that provides business tools for content creators to run a subscription service. It helps creators and artists earn a monthly income by providing rewards and perks to their subscribers.

So the show is a going concern, there’s listeners and now there’s ways to branch out to gain more traction for the podcast.

“There is more effort from the government and our addiction leaders to move things forward but there are things that are not optimal for sure,” Fredeen said.

Take heart, detox is a good first step that connects people with a physician, social worker, clinician, nursing staff.

“Detox is a good first step,” Fredeen said. “People can call the number or present to the emergency department, we can get them transferred from emerg to detox or into the hospital. I think having a family physician is critical for follow up because we want to make sure there is ongoing medical treatment provided because many people come in with multiple illnesses like infections, that need to be managed.”

When Fredeen started working in addictions 18 years ago he never dreamt where addictions were heading, he said.

“Who knew that fentanyl would come in?” Fredeen asked. “We came through the opioid crisis in the 90s and now we’re right back into it.”

He believes there needs to be adequate funding for residential treatment programs.

In the meantime, there is the Nechako

OAT (Opioid Agonist Treatment) Clinic.

“We accept patients off the street, we accept referrals from physicians - if a person has an addiction to opioids they just have to show up at the clinic and we can help them,” Fredeen said.

“This is a huge issue but it’s not just about addiction, it’s about society in general in terms of what we view as important and how we help each other as a community as we move forward - and not just in Prince George but in the world as a community as a whole. I think it’s been ignored for far too long and I think drugs should be decriminalized - and I’ve said that right from the start 18 years ago - not a popular idea back then. Those would be good initial first steps - and take away stigma, the use of language around it - stop using negative language and use more empowering language. But I think what we really need is accessibility to treatment programs with good trauma counseling to help people move forward in life. I never thought it would grow to this extent when I first started the program. Addiction, as I tell my clients, takes away everything in your life before it kills you and it’s a sad death. It’s a life that’s been unfulfilled to its potential and it’s very sad.”

COVID long-haulers open up about their struggles CHRISTINE DALGLEISH

Brain fog, extreme fatigue, shortness of breath, muscle aches and headaches, these are just some of the lingering symptoms experienced by COVID-19 long haulers.

There’s a support group in town called the Post Covid Syndrome Support Group offered by the Prince George Hospice Society in their Solace Center that only has four members attending - three in person and the fourth through Zoom.

Everyone knows there are more people out there left with life-changing after effects of the coronavirus but it is believed by organizers of the group that the stigma surrounding the virus has kept people isolated at home instead of reaching out for support. Two members of the group who wish to remain anonymous spoke with The Citizen about what it’s like to be afflicted with the disease and all that comes with it.

Neither wished to disclose how they got the virus. Carol (not her real name) is 55 and feels like she has lost herself.

Marie (not her real name) is a 39-yearold physically active mom of two young children, who said time spent with her children has declined in quality and it’s heartbreaking.

Both women had thriving careers serving in the Prince George community.

After having the dreaded coronavirus Carol in December and Marie in January - they are still struggling with health issues with seemingly no end in sight.

The worst part for both Carol and Marie is the brain fog and extreme fatigue that has plagued them for months.

Carol tried to return to work but despite using coping strategies to help with her short comings - brain fog, memory loss and utter exhaustion - she couldn’t continue, while Marie knew she would not be a safe and effective worker in her present condition and hasn’t been back to work since she got Covid-19 for fear she would inadvertently put others at risk.

“I did not have a fever, I did not have a cough and I did not lose my sense of smell and taste during that time,” Marie described the onset of her COVID-19 symptoms. “So the three main things that they screen for every where you go? I didn’t have any of those.”

Marie’s husband got the virus first and didn’t exhibit most of the typical symptoms but he just felt off and they decided to get tested to be safe. Three of the four members of their family tested positive.

They self-isolated quickly.

“And we didn’t spread it to anybody - I’m so happy to be able to say that,” Marie said.

One of the most difficult parts of the process is to advocate for themselves about the lingering effects of this deadly new virus.

“One of the hardest parts is to be struggling with this, know it’s real, and be absolutely exhausted and have this much energy (as she pinched her index finger

and thumb tightly together) to do anything and then have to fight and advocate and prove what’s going on - when you’re vertical and you look normal,” Marie started and Carol finished the thought with a nod of her head.

Marie said the altered taste and smell were very disturbing. She used to eat a banana almost every day and now they taste of rot. She randomly still smells phantom cigarette smoke, feces, exhaust and something that smells like an electrical fire while the real smoke from the wildfires wasn’t something she could begin to identify.

What’s the hardest part?

“Feeling like I’m not there for my kids and feeling like I’ve missed out on six months,” Marie said tearfully. “I don’t have the energy or stamina to do the things I love to do with them - like skiing - I had to stop abruptly - both cross country skiing and downhill skiing - all that in the winter stopped abruptly - and they’re spending a lot more time on screens than we usually do and that’s not how our family functions - but I worked part time for a reason - I love being a mom - I love spending quality time with my kids and they’re getting older now and pretty soon they’re not going to want to hang out with me and I’ve missed a big chunk of time. So I try to do something with them - even if it’s just baking and I’m still in my pajamas. That’s been the hardest part for me.”

None of her family presented with serious symptoms in the acute stage of the vi-

rus and the family is very grateful for that but the lingering effects are heartbreaking.

“I still don’t know what the future holds for any of us,” Marie said. “My daughter recovered quickly, my husband has recovered, but do they have lingering effects?

And the same for me - like when I get the numbness in my face and these headaches - is there something messed up with my brain? I don’t know - when you read articles about links to dementia I wonder what this means. I am somebody who has lead such a healthy life and make healthy choices because I want to be around for a long time for my kids and now that might be taken away from me. My future is unknown.”

When Marie heard about the support group she was reluctant to attend, thinking it was just one more thing on her plate to deal with, she said.

“Now it’s the best part of my week,” Marie said. “People here totally get it. You don’t have to explain anything - they just get it. And we laugh. And I talk more here than I do at any other time in the week. We just get each other.”

he sports and the musical world are both divided on the balance between individual practice and group play.

Many golfer and musicians argue that solitary practice only goes so far and that the real learning and improvement happens through the knowledge acquired when playing with others.

I haven’t actually played a round at the Prince George Golf and Curling Club for over a week now, focussing on practice in my backyard and down the street in the school field.

I’ve been really zeroing in on my swing and I’ve developed a mental checklist of things that need to be done before the club face meets the ball.

The superior and more experienced golfers I’ve golfed with this summer (everybody, in other words) think far less about

Godbout golfing than a novice like me. It’s like riding a bike for them.

They have the muscle memory of how to stand, how to hold the club, how to aim and how to swing in their back pocket, so their only consideration when they step

World Women’s Curling Championship returning CITIZEN STAFF

After being cancelled just 48 hours before it was scheduled to start because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the World Women’s Curling Championship is returning to Prince George in 2022.

“But the enthusiasm, spirit and passion of the central British Columbia city couldn’t be dampened, and as a result, there will be world-class curling in Prince George after all,” said Curling Canada in a press release.

The 2022 World Women’s Curling Championship will be contested March 19-27 at the CN Centre in Prince George, as it was announced jointly today (July 29)

by Curling Canada and the World Curling Federation.

“I’m delighted to see the host committee of Prince George able to finally welcome the World Women’s Curling Championship 2022 to their community following the disappointment of the 2020 cancellation,” said World Curling Federation President Kate Caithness.

“The local organizing committee worked tirelessly to ensure the success of the 2020 edition and I have every confidence that they will be equally prepared for the 2022 championship where hopefully, if restrictions allow, we can welcome back fans to the stadium.”

Prince George will be hosting its first World Curling Federation event, and for the province of British Columbia, it will be a fourth opportunity to welcome the world’s best women’s curling teams.

In 2008 at Vernon, Canada’s Jennifer Jones came out on top; 10 years earlier, in Kamloops, Sweden’s Elisabet Gustafson won gold, and in 1986 in Kelowna, Canada’s Marilyn Bodogh captured a gold medal.

“We all have vivid memories of that week leading up to the cancellation in Prince George, and we know how much excitement there was in the city leading up to the event, so today’s announcement is particularly gratifying,” said Katherine Henderson, chief executive officer of Curling Canada.

Mayor Lyn Hall also re-welcomed the World Women’s Curling Championship.

“If anything, we are even more thrilled to be hosting this premier event in 2022 and to be given another opportunity to showcase our community on the international stage.

“Thank you to the World Curling Federation and Curling Canada for recognizing that Prince George is an accomplished host city with world-class venues, volunteers, and experiences for athletes.”

Organizers say tickets will go on sale soon, with details announced close to the on-sale date.

up to their ball is the target and how close they can get it there. Experienced golfers (and athletes and musicians) joke about how thinking about technique gets in the way of performance.

For me and for all novices, we are forced to think about everything.

Every action is a conscious decision. I’ve learned that I need to do all the thinking and planning in advance.

I’ve made the mistake far too many times of continuing to think and plan stepping up to the ball. It has never worked out well.

So now I start with one or two good practice swings to remind myself of what I want to happen, which is not to make a good shot but to make a good swing.

If I get the swing right, the shot will take care of itself.

During the practice swing, I’m conscious of everything, from my grip of the club and where my feet are to the pretend target in the grass and the turn of my torso, before pulling the club back, then down to the ground and then up and across, my chest turning to face my target, my back foot coming up.

When I step up to the ball, I try to

forget about the mechanics. Now my only thought is to simply replicate the smooth practice swing from a few seconds ago but with the ball in front of my club.

I used to stare at the ball in my swing but that’s not precise enough.

I now zero in on the back of the ball because that’s the only part of the ball that matters.

My greatest challenge is to remember to not try to hit the ball or even consider the force of the contact.

Choosing the right club and sorting out whether it’s a full swing or a gentle chip (stay on the front foot, flat follow through, hands and feet quiet, relying on the smooth pendulum of my torso and arms to control the swing) are tasks to be completed before even looking at the ball.

In other words, I try to arrange all the details before stepping up to the ball, so that I’m merely trying to replicate my practice swing.

When I hit it well, which is happening with slowly increasing frequency, I’m still amazed and surprised at how the apparent lack of effort and being smooth and relaxed translates into the best results.

The magic of babies and toddlers

F

or most of my adult life, I wasn’t really a fan of babies and toddlers.

I chose not to have kids because I felt I could not deal with childbirth, be sleep deprived, change diapers, potty train, clean up puke, chase after kids, be a working parent and juggle all of these responsibilities well.

As a kid, I was the favourite babysitter in my neighbourhood and I enjoyed kids very much. I changed diapers, tolerated angry toddler tantrums and didn’t mind chasing them around the house and yard to ensure their safety.

Then, there was a shift. In my early 20s I lived with my friends, a couple who had a toddler and a baby. All of a sudden I realized I was a horrible babysitter. One day, the toddler, Brittany led me to the potty to show me her deposit. She was so proud of herself. Instead of praising her, I screamed, ran to the toilet and threw up. Not too long

BOGGLED DIANE NAKAMURA after this incident, the baby was napping and I fell asleep on the couch. Brittany’s mom Judy came home to find Brittany on the counter with pieces of bread strewn all over and she had a knife in the toaster.

Judy woke me up and told me “Di, you’re fired.” I felt like a monster. Luckily, Judy didn’t hold it against me and we moved on.

For most of the following 30 years, as long as I didn’t have to change diapers or deal with potty training, I was fine to look after children. Not being able to deal with these tasks caused issues in my work and personal life.

After my brain injury, one of the many symptoms I suffered was sensitivity to

noise. I couldn’t physically be around babies and young children because their crying and screaming made my head feel like it would explode. I had friends who had children and grandchildren who I couldn’t visit with. I felt awful but I also had to set boundaries in order to take care of myself.

Then there was another shift. My sensitivity to noise decreased in intensity and frequency. All of a sudden I started looking at babies and toddlers with a different lens.

I began to appreciate their different stages of development and immediately noticed when milestones were reached.

In my previous career, being aware of infant and child development was part of my job. Much of this information came flooding back into my consciousness.

I began to receive requests to babysit infants and toddlers. Yikes! My initial reaction was “oh my gosh I can’t do this!” Then I told myself to grow up and move out of

my dysfunctional comfort zone. I’ve been through so much in my life and still am. If I couldn’t deal with baby and toddler messes, there was a huge problem.

One day I changed my first diaper in years. It was a nasty diaper. I placed myself in a meditation-like state and just did it. I did it without gagging or throwing up. And the baby smiled and laughed because he obviously felt better. Maybe he laughed at the expression on my face. I picked him up and hugged him. I had faced my phobia and overcame it. Then came the next test.

I got thrown up on and I lived through it no problem. After I cleaned the baby up and myself, I hugged her too. What the heck happened to me?

I honestly think that this miracle happened because of my brain injury.

My curse has been lifted thanks to the loving magic of babies and toddlers. Who knew this was possible? Now I know that anything is possible.

Honest dialogue needed in democracies

I

’ve always believed that I should not ask someone else to do something I would not do myself.

This generally works very well. If employees see the boss picking up garbage, for example, they are more likely to do it themselves.

This principle also applies to teaching.

I cannot ask my students to treat each other with respect if I am not willing to treat them with respect as well. I cannot ask them to learn if I am not committed to being a learner. If I want to teach my students to live principled lives, the most important thing for me to do is to live these principles to the best of my ability.

I don’t have to be perfect, but I must have integrity.

Recently I wrote a column on a human rights issue that is very important to me.

A reader responded, “It is profoundly disappointing to see anyone, particularly a high school teacher like Chidiac, promote this ‘protest’ movement.”

As I reflected on the comment, I realized that the reader did not seem to understand my philosophy of education. I embrace the fact that I teach social studies in a country that cherishes academic free-

parties according to their own standards, but I never tell them whom I support. If I LESSONS IN feel strongly about an issue that is in any LEARNING way controversial, I generally avoid bringGERRY CHIDIAC ing it up in class.

At the same time, I cannot tell my students that their opinions matter and that dom, freedom of the press and freedom they are a vital part of a working democof speech. Canada is also a country that racy if I am not actively engaged in that celebrates its diversity. democracy.

democracy that I hold so dear.

Is it “profoundly disappointing” that a high school teacher would engage in such an activity? The more important question to me is, “What would I expect one of my students to do?”

The truth is, whether readers of my columns agree with me is inconsequential.

I want them to do their research and respectfully express their informed opinions as they see fit. Some may write letters to the editor, others may debate with their families and friends.

Honest dialogue is what we need to keep our democracy viable. As a teacher, this is the sort of discourse I strive for in my classroom.

If I am not willing to embark on the never-ending quest for truth, to risk being questioned and to even risk being wrong, then I have no business calling myself a teacher. If I am not willing to embrace the responsibilities of a citizen in a democracy, then telling my students to do so would make me a hypocrite.

Teaching and learning can be nothing less than an authentic quest for truth. If that makes me “profoundly disappointing” as an educator, then so be it.

Healthy Living

As part of her recent visit to Prince George, Dr. Bonnie Henry joined a virtual visit with the Northern Health case and contact management team to share her thanks. Over 100 people were able to join the session. Pictured: Dr. Henry sits with chief medical health officer Dr. Jong Kim and medical health officer Dr. Rakel Kling.

Northern Health case and contact management: Then, now, and looking forward

With the recent shift into Step 3 of BC’s Restart plan, the end of the tunnel feels near. For the Northern Health team who carried out case and contact management (CCM), a core function of public health during the pandemic, it’s been a whirlwind 18 months. The team faced incredible challenges yet accomplished so much as a small but mighty team.

From overwhelm to control

When the pandemic first hit in March 2020, the case load in the north was manageable. When cases started to increase exponentially in November 2020, the small CCM team was overwhelmed. Full contact tracing was scaled back in order to more quickly inform and support people who had tested positive for the virus. The team then focused on contact tracing for cases in settings with higher risk of spreading the virus or disproportionate impact on vulnerable populations, such as in schools and congregate living situations.

Continuously adjusting the process

As the pandemic continued through the winter months, the NH CCM team continuously pivoted and adjusted their processes and training to balance the case load and human resources required.

Full contact tracing resumed in the spring of 2021 and more staff were brought on board to help the team. At one point, over 200 people were involved in the CCM work, with up to 70 people staffing CCM each day.

The impact of case and contact management

Case and contact management (CCM) is a key tool in decreasing the number of cases in the north and in making households, workplaces, and remote communities safer. CCM helps slow the

spread of COVID-19 by ensuring cases and contacts know to isolate, what to do, and who to contact if they need help. Data gathered during phone calls with people who have tested positive for the virus gives important information to the public health team.

This information is used to identify trends of concern and gives medical health officers, and other decision makers, information they can use to monitor disease levels and decide on appropriate actions. Thanks to the Northern Health team that carried out this work, we were able to help bend the curve in the North.

Scaling down

Looking back at the hurdles of the past 18 months, the team is proud of the CCM model that was developed. As cases decline in the region, the team is scaling down its operations to reflect the lower case load and redirect focus to COVID-19 immunizations.

The team continues to follow up on all lab-confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the region, which have fortunately been much fewer in recent months.

While we don’t know what the future holds, we do have a fully scale-able CCM system that can adapt quickly to rising or falling case counts.

A thank you to all CCM staff

The public health leadership team is grateful to all the team members who supported CCM over the past year - from those who helped set the foundation for Northern Health’s CCM response in early 2020, to all who played a role over the past several months as we responded to the surge of COVID-19 cases across the North.

Thank you for everything you have contributed to CCM and NH’s COVID-19 response!

Governor-general faces no-win situation

O

n 26 July 2021 Ningiukudluk (Mary Simon) was sworn in as Canada’s first Indigenous governor-general.

As the official representative of the queen many people saw this moment as a true step towards reconciliation or at the very least an attempt by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to curry favour with Indigenous peoples in Canada going into the next federal election. In a certain sense both views are correct. And yet it is this type of contradiction that makes me hesitant to simply celebrate this announcement as a win for Indigenous peoples. If anything I am worried about our new governor-general, because I fear she might be in a no win situation.

I can still remember as a child sitting on my parents’ couch looking at the World Book Encyclopedia and having my favourite uncle explain to me that the governor-general and monarch do not really do anything when it comes to governing the country. As far as I can tell nothing has really changed to prove my uncle’s assessment wrong. The last governor-general to challenge the prime minister is any real way was Julian Byng, who refused Prime Minister Mackenzie King’s request to dissolve parliament and call an election in 1926, only to see Conservative Prime Minister Arthur Meighen lose the confidence of the house in just three days and call an election anyway. During the election King railed on Byng for being a British stooge and arguing it was wrong for the governor-general to interfere in Canadian politics in any way shape or form. To provide additional context, Byng was the 1st Viscount Byng of Vimy, as in Vimy Ridge, where he had been the commanding officer when Canadians troops took the ridge in 1917. Despite running an election campaign against a war hero, King won and that fall he would support the Balfour Declaration at the 1926 Imperial Conference of the British Empire, which among other things stated that governor-generals were no longer the representatives of the British government, but rather the dominion they served and under the advice of the prime minister of said dominion. In other words, under the advice of Justin Trudeau or

GUEST COLUMN DANIEL SIMS

OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL HANDOUT IMAGE

Mary Simon speaks after her installation as governor-general on July 26. whoever succeeds him as prime minister if he loses the next federal election.

It is this lack of power that presents a potential problem for Ningiukudluk. Namely, as the first Indigenous governor-general there is already an expectation that she is going to change things for the better.

No doubt she will try and it is fitting that her name means bossy little old lady in English. Yet, she is now part of one of the oldest institutions in Canada, which until 1952, and the appointment of Vincent Massey, was exclusively the domain of British aristocrats. And while it is true that things have changed since 1952, she has a lot of baggage to deal with if she wants to Indigenize the institution. First, regardless of what she does there are always going to be people who dislike change. Combine this resistance with the fact her predecessor resigned over accusations of being a bully, and the task is a delicate one.

There is also the matter of the governor-general being the representative of the Queen. While Ningiukudluk may be serving Canada and under the advice of Canada’s head of government, she is also keeping the throne warm for Canada’s head of state. It is a myth that Indigenous peoples in Canada all love the monarchy.

This statement is even true in areas of

the country in which Indigenous peoples have signed Treaties with the Crown and expected them to be honoured. I hate to say it, because I know she has been a strong advocate for Indigenous rights in Canada, but there are going to be some Indigenous peoples who see the new governor-general as a sell out just for agreeing to take the role. Even more are going to have some serious questions about why she took the role, and unless she becomes a public martyr like Puglaas (Jody Wilson-Raybould) any time she is perceived as doing something people do not agree with these negative views of her will either be reinforced or confirmed.

Neither outcome is fair. But the world is not fair. Nor is it free of prejudice. And this aspect is the last serious concern about the announcement of Canada’s first Indigenous governor-general. Indigenous is a handy word to talk about the over 600 distinct First Nations in Canada plus the Inuit and Métis all at once. It fails, however, to reflect the diverse perspectives of these 600 First Nations, the Inuit, and Métis. The Inuit are not the largest Indigenous nation in Canada and in a number of instances have more in common with other Indigenous nations like the Yupik in Alaska and Siberia than more southerly First Nations

or the Métis. Yet people are already positioning Ningiukudluk as “the Indigenous governor-general” as if the only notable thing about her career as a politician, diplomat, and broadcaster is her ancestry.

Still, make no mistake, many Indigenous peoples see her as our governor-general.

Nevertheless, this role is a lot of pressure to put on one individual, especially when you consider all of things that fit under the word Indigenous. Furthermore, given the lack of understanding many Canadians have of Indigenous peoples it will be very easy for people to hold the governor-general to a false standard based on their own views of what a proper Indigenous person should look like rather than any sort of reality. She is neither Nanook of the North nor women’s traditional northern dancer. She is Mary Simon from Nunavik.

One of the prime ministers who attended the 1926 Imperial Conference was President of the Executive Council of the Irish Free State, W.T. Cosgrave. Today considered to be the first taoiseach of Ireland, the rather clunky title was used by the Irish Free State when it became a dominion within the British Empire in 1922 as a way to clearly show that it was different than the United Kingdom. Home rule for Ireland was not a smooth process and dispute over the monarchy and governor-general resulted in the Irish Civil War. And while I do not think the swearing in of Simon as governor-general will result in war, I also do not think her term in office is an unquestioned act of reconciliation, or that it will be without its problems both real and perceived. That being said I am confident that she can handle it and win or lose she will bring a lived Indigenous female perspective to the role. I am just not sure if I would want to be in her situation given all the pressure placed on her to succeed.

63.4 metres (208 feet)

912 metres (2,992 feet)

Bowron Lake is one of several lakes that make up Bowron Lake Provincial Park, known around the world for its first class canoeing circuit. Although less known for the fishing, the lake has many species of sportfish and supports a reasonable fishery. Bob Monk, from Willis Harper Home Hardware in Quesnel, says Bowron Lake can be a great fishery for bull trout—a catch and release fishery.

“The bull trout target the sockeye and kokanee fry coming down streams,” says Monk. He suggests anglers try anything flashy with a quick retrieve.

He also suggests targeting the mayfly hatch in late June and early July. Wedding Bands and Willow Leaves are popular lures, especially with a worm.

Monk likes to use a 52 Buick for fly fishing. The fish move around the lake quite a lot, so while cruising, watch for areas where they are rising.

LAKE ACCESS Bowron Lake is approximately 120 kilometres east of Quesnel. Follow Highway 26 past the town of Wells. Just before reaching the town of Barkerville, Bowron Lake Road appears on the left (east) side

of the highway. Turn here, and continue for nearly 30 kilometres along a well-maintained gravel road to Bowron Lake Lodge.

Bowron Lake Provincial Park has 25 campsites accessible by vehicle. Campsites are available on a first-come, first-served basis, and there is a boat launch. If you are planning to canoe the circuit, reservations are required, and you can visit B.C. Parks website, at www. bcparks.ca, for further information.

It is with broken hearts, that we announce the passing of Wayne Ireland of West Kelowna, BC at the age of 74 on July 21, 2021.

Wayne was born in Fergus, Ontario and grew up on a farm outside Arthur, Ontario. In the late 1960s, Wayne headed west and settled in Prince George, BC. In 1977, Wayne married Rita Coffey. He was self-employed for many years and operated Ireland Paint and Body and then Ireland Paint and Sandblasting on the Hart Highway in Prince George. In 2013, they sold their farm on the Old Summit Lake Road and moved to West Kelowna, BC. Wayne is survived by his wife, Rita; as well as three sons: Matthew (Shawna) of Prince George, Jess from West Kelowna, and Larry (Kata) of Black Diamond, AB; and five grandsons: Hayden, Dylan, Benson, Liam and Josh. Wayne is also survived by three sisters in Prince George: Nancy Ireland, Sheila Ireland and Sharon Sperling; as well as his brother, Rick (Sharon); and a special brother-in-law and hunting partner, Ted Sperling. Wayne will also be missed by his aunts, an uncle, a niece and cousins, as well as many great friends both in Prince George and West Kelowna. Wayne was predeceased by his parents Doreen and Gordon Ireland.

Wayne loved his annual hunting trips, he loved working on his vehicles and puttering in his shop and in the yard. He loved his family and the time they spent together. Wayne taught each of his sons how to work hard and was extremely proud of their chosen careers in the trades. For his last 8 years and right up to less than 2 weeks before he left us, he worked at the car wash at Andres Electronics in West Kelowna. Retirement was not for him! He will be remembered as a kind and generous man who honestly could fix anything.

Sincerest thanks to Dr. Ryan Foster and Dr. Julian Mackenzie-Feder, as well as the nursing staff in ICU, for the outstanding care Wayne and his family received. Thanks as well to Dr. Ryan Bystrom, our family doctor, who gave us amazing support. As Wayne wished, there will be no formal service at this time. Cremation has taken place, and in lieu of flowers, donations to the Intensive Care Unit at Kelowna General Hospital, kghfoundation.com would be appreciated by the family.

Lois Evelyn Martin

November 4, 1960 June 29, 2021

1937-2021

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Dougie.

He will be lovingly remembered by his daughter Tiawna (Drew) Newman and his two grandsons, Brooks and Rhett in Washington.

Predeceased by his grandparents, he leaves behind his two brothers Russ (Leslie), Chase, BC, and Lyle, Prince George, BC, his Mom Elizabeth (Bett), Prince George, his Dad Stan, Vancouver, as well as members of his extended family, cousins, aunts, uncles and his many friends.

Dougie’s passion for excellence and top quality workmanship was evident throughout his 30 plus years of service at Northwood Pulp and Paper.

He loved to spend time with his family, his many friends and enjoyed working in his yard, having it look A1 at all times. After he mowed his yard, he said he didn’t want even the robins walking on it!!

He took great pride in his home and himself.

Dougie left us way too soon. He will be sadly missed but lovingly remembered for his wonderful sense of humour, his loving and kind personality, his appreciation of classic / vintage vehicles and his good sense of responsibility.

A big Thank You to everyone for the offers of help, the kindness you’ve shown, your generosity and support through this very difficult time for our family. There will be no funeral service. Instead, we would like to have a gathering of family and friends at a later date. Thank you again for your sincere well wishes!

Our beloved mother has transitioned peacefully from our world, on July 23, with grace and courage, surrounded by her husband and family. Lois was the fourth of five children born to Walter and Florence Gustafson in the Prince George hospital on November 18th, 1937. Lois lived in Giscome until grade 4 when her family moved to Prince George. As a teenager Lois worked at Gundy’s News. After Gundy’s, Lois married an American Air Force serviceman Cleve Clostio, and they were transferred to Dallas, Texas where Cheryl was born. Next they transferred to Anchorage, Alaska where their second daughter, Laverne, was born. Lois and Cleve separated and Lois and the girls moved back to Prince George where she learned Secretarial skills at the Prince George Vocational School. After graduation Lois was hired by SD57 as a secretary, for 33 years.

Lois worked at Central Fort George, Pinewood and Carney Hill Elementary Schools.

Lois married David Marr in 1969 and gained a stepdaughter, Lynn. They shared life until Lois was widowed in 2009.

Lois met Maurice in the casino in July 2012. They had both lost their spouses.

They married in May 2013. The years they have had together were the happiest in their lives.

Lois has had a wonderful action packed and fulfilling life with friends and family. She was an avid curler, skier, golfer, traveller and a happy Bonspieler.

She and her sister Elaine once curled with Laverne in the McBride Women’s Bonspiel. She also loved casinos and cruises. Lois and Maurice went to all the Cougars games and she eventually started enjoying hockey too. She also volunteered at the Hospice resale store.

Lois, a mom, grandma and soon to be great grandma was deeply loved and will be greatly missed. She is survived by husband Maurice, and daughters Cheryl Clostio (Peter Schemenauer), Lynn Lee-Ran (Dave Jaegli), and Laverne Remmelg (Hans), brothers Stuart Gustafson (Jennifer), Gerald Gustafson, and grandchildren Nathaniel Lee-Ran, Tyson Remmelg (Alisha), and Annaliise Wilson (Kyle), nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by parents, Walter and Florence and siblings Conrad and Elaine and nephew Danny.

A Remembrance Service and and Celebration of Life for Lois will be held on Friday, August 13, 11 am at St. Mary’s Church.

Almond, Scott J. June 12, 1957 - July 01, 2021 Scott passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on July 1 in Prince George.

Scott grew up on Almond Acres just west of Vanderhoof.

He graduated from Nechako Valley Secondary School, and later attended the University of Victoria where he met many great friends. Following University, Scott joined the Ministry of Forests and became a fire boss. His family learned a lot about the Command Centre, where he managed large crews who might be sent anywhere in the territory, wherever and whenever the wind and heat threatened trees and wildlife.

Scott was an expert on the flora and fauna, from northern BC to the west coast. It was a treat and a learning experience, to walk with him through the forests. He was glad to share what he knew about the plants and animals.

Learning was easy, because he was a gifted storyteller, whether explaining life in the forest or recounting his adventures. Most of his adventure stories led to uproarious laughter.

Scott also had an entrepreneurial spirit, and he became involved in business ventures. They were mostly in the resource industry, combining his knowledge of nature with his sense of independence and enterprise.

Scott had much happiness and success in his life, as well as some challenges. He was dedicated to his learning and his work. Most of all, he loved and was devoted to his family.

He was predeceased by his parents, Scotty and Frances; sister Lonnie, and brothers Robert and Randy. He leaves behind his daughter Miranda; sisters Marlene (Cy), Treva (Eric); brothers Richard (Lucia), Barry (Barbara), John, and Brent. He also leaves behind numerous nieces and nephews who were an integral part of his family life.

Scott always appreciated the diversity of people in his life.

We have been blessed to have shared so many years with such a generous soul, who reminded us to recognize and treasure the abilities and possibilities of everyone.

Services will be held at St. Joseph Church in Vanderhoof on July 28, 2021, 11:00 am.

With hearts made richer by having had him in our lives, we announce the passing of our treasured Arthur (Art) Brown. Born on November 2, 1953 in Red Deer, Alberta, Art passed away on July 24, 2021 in Prince George, BC. Pre-deceased by wife Jan (1953 - 2007), parents Florence and Brownie, and brother John (Elaine), Art will be profoundly missed by wife Vickie, daughters Taryn (Brent) and Tannis, step-children Laura (Dan), Ben (Leanne) and Amy, grandchildren Jack, Weston, Evan and Mya, mother-in-law Marjorie (Eldon), sister Kathy (Bill), brothers Lorne (Susannah) and Roy (Sue), many friends and a pack of adoring pets.

After growing up in various places across Canada and England, he spent his teenage years in the sunny Okanagan playing sports, travelling and being with the most amazing friends a guy could have. Upon becoming a teacher, he and Jan moved to Prince George in 1978, where he was well-respected and had fun in his education career until he retired in 2011. A life long educator and supporter of those around him, Art made everyday special as he saw the best in everyone. This led him to have many friends and many more "kids" than were his own the Reunion group, numerous nieces and nephews, the coffee klatch group, the Trent Drive crew and the U/DTSB, his PG Cougars billets and their teammates, the CHCA, the Red Cross group, the St. Vincent group, staff and students in School District #57 and many more. In recent years, Art’s days were filled with happy memories including PG Cougars games, bowling and sleepovers with the grandchildren, volunteering, cookie decorating, golfing, skiing, kayaking, hiking, dog walks, travelling, Sunday dinners, visiting neighbours, taking care of his neighbourhood, and helping everyone he could possibly help.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday August 7, 2021 at Trinity United Church (3555 5th Ave, PG, BC) at 1:00p.m., followed by an open house gathering at the gazebo at Rainbow Park (off Ospika Blvd.) at 2:30p.m. To those who desire to make donations in memory of Art, the Prince George Hospice House and the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) were close to his heart.

Are you familiar with stamped concrete?

If you’ve never seen a patio mounted on stamped concrete, you’ll likely be quite impressed the first time you come across one. Stamped concrete is textured or embossed to imitate the look of flagstone, brick, ceramic tile, wood and various other materials. Beyond its decorative appeal, stamped concrete also has a wide range of surprising qualities. Read on to find out more!

For starters, stamped concrete is a stable material that is highly resistant to temperature fluctuations, rot, premature wear, invasive insects and fire. It’s also environmentally friendly: it produces significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions than traditional cement and is 100 per cent recyclable.

When you choose concrete for your deck flooring, you’re opting for peace of mind. Concrete has an expected lifespan of at least 25 years and requires very little maintenance. In fact, all you need to do to preserve its lustrous sheen is to apply a sealant every two to three years and remove stains with a an all-purpose solvent.

It’s that simple!

Consult a specialist in your area for the proper installation of your stamped concrete patio, staircase, walkway, driveway or pool area. With so many shapes, colours and designs to choose from, the possibilities are endless! To enhance the beauty of your landscape and increase your property’s overall value, stamped concrete is well worth the investment.

Fibreglass: light, durable and maintenance-free

Tired of having to repaint or re-stain your deck every year? End this tedious chore for good by switching to a fibreglass surface. No painting, staining or special maintenance required — how does that sound for the next 25 years?

Commonly used in the construction of balconies for apartment buildings because of its lightweight and durable properties, fibreglass is gaining in popularity among residential homeowners for many reasons, each more beneficial than the last. Apart from its very low maintenance needs, this resilient, waterproof material is suitable for outdoor surfaces of all shapes and sizes. Resistant to moisture and UV exposure, fibreglass adapts marvellously to fluctuating weather conditions. It’s also offered in a wide range of colours and can be treated with anti-slip coating.

Installing fibreglass is tricky business and should always be done by a professional. After setting down a panel of plywood over the surface of your current deck (regardless of whether it’s made of wood, aluminum or cement), the experts will cover it with fibreglass before applying a transparent finishing gel to protect your new floor from early signs of wear and tear. After the installation process is complete, all that’s left for you to do is sit back, relax and enjoy. Have a great summer!

Fibreglass is a resilient, waterproof material that can be used for outdoor surfaces of any shape and size.

Poured-in-place rubber: a surface fit for kids and adults Ever heard of poured-in-place rubber surfaces? Commonly used in daycares, amusement centres and other areas where kids play, rubber surfaces ensure optimal comfort and safety. But did you know that this type of flooring is also perfect for your patio? It’s the best option on the market for homeowners looking for a durable, attractive, anti-slip solution that requires very little maintenance.

Composed of fine rubber granules, poured-inplace rubber is a supple and versatile material.

Special installation companies can set it down on any number of surfaces, including wood, cement, stone, asphalt, aluminum and brick.

Believe it or not, the results are stunning!

When you opt for poured-in-place rubber, you’re getting a uniform surface devoid of cracks and visible joints. If your current patio is in need of a facelift, trust that a rubber surface will restore its beauty and vigour. Available in an array of colours to match virtually any style, rubber floors are exceptionally easy to maintain. All it takes is a simple pressure wash to get the surface looking as good as new! In addition to boasting flame retardant, antibacterial and antifungal properties, poured-in-place rubber is also resistant to high temperatures, stains and UV exposure.

Do you have children? If your patio sits under the sun, a light-coloured surface is recommended to avoid burning little feet.

What’s more, this supple material is shock resistant and absorbs the pitter-pattering sound of kids at play. Enjoy a tranquil and injury-free summer outdoors on your newly renovated patio!
