Landfill fees set to increase

HANNA PETERSEN

The Regional District of Fraser-Fort George approved a proposed $2 per tonne increase in tipping fees at the district’s landfills, including the Foothills Boulevard Regional Landfill.

The base tipping fee rate will increase to $96 per tonne, effective Jan. 1, 2023, according to a report presented to the board. The $6 minimum charge for loads up to 100 kilograms will remain unchanged.

“A proportional increase is also proposed for all other tipping fees,” district general manager of environmental services Petra Wildauer wrote in the report. “Clarification on Bulky Item Volume Based Tipping Fees is included, and a surcharge of $12 for unsecure loads of recyclable waste is proposed to ensure bylaw clarification and enforcement for all waste arriving at solid waste facilities.”

Currently the regional district charges double the normal tipping fees for unsecured loads, but recyclable materials and yard waste are not subject to tipping fees.

Starting on Jan. 1, mixed demolition, land clearing and construction waste will be charged $192 per tonne, with a $12 minimum fee. Sorted demolition and construction waste would be subject to lower fees, depending on the material type.

“The proposed tipping fee rate represents a $2 increase to base rates and is consistent with rate adjustment recommendations reflecting solid waste management operational needs and supporting waste diversion strategies,” Wildauer wrote.

The city’s fire dispatchers have officially relocated their permanent home at Fire Hall #1 on Massey Drive.

The new Fire Operations Communications Centre and Dispatch Centre will house up to 14 staff who play a critical role in ensuring rapid, timely responses by Prince George’s Fire and Rescue Service.

In addition to serving the local community, the new centre has a larger function that spans across British Columbia.

The Regional District of Fraser-Fort George operates the Emergency Response Service for a large portion of British Columbia to answer initial calls and provide fire dispatch services for numerous regional district partners in Central and Southern B.C. “I am very excited to welcome the fire dispatchers to their new home,” said Cliff Warner, fire chief at the City of Prince George.

“This state-of-the-art building not only services the dedicated members of Prince George Fire Rescue, but also the city’s residents, and our regional partners throughout the province for many years to come.”

Fire dispatchers previously worked at the Old Fire Hall #1 on 7th Avenue and Dominion Street prior to the move.

The new communications centre puts them in the nexus of operations where their contributions help firefighters respond quickly to emergencies.

The communications centre exists alongside a functional and well-designed Emergency Operations Centre, both of which are key supports during a major crisis or disaster.

Marty Dupas, chief communications officer for Prince George Fire Rescue Services, said the new centre is the gold standard of fire dispatch in the province of B.C. The facility’s dispatch positions currently serve around 80 agencies. Once the Regional District of Central Kootenay is brought onboard, the new communications centre will dispatch for approximately 100 agencies.

“The facility building alone provides us the capacity to have additional workstations that will allow us to upscale or downscale based on what the situation warrants,” said Dupas.

“The magnitude of this change has been absolutely monumental and we would have not been able to pull this off without the strength and the minds of the teams involved.”

collaborating agencies.

Dupas said the Fraser Fort George Regional District is now ahead of the curve in the province regarding these changes.

“With an ability to respond to an increased demand for events like the 2017 wildfires, behind the maze of technology required to provide that service, is the

understanding that an emergency or fire does not wait and neither should those who need the help of the 80 fire rescue agencies that are dispatched from this building,” said Valemount Mayor Owen Torgerson, who is also the chair of the regional district’s public safety and emergency management standing committee.

“While we hope the phones inside this centre never ring and that our community stays safe from fire it gives me great peace of mind to know that when the phones do ring it’s in a facility like this with dedicated personnel who are ready to answer the call.”

Since 1991, fire dispatch has been a service of the regional district when a partnership was formed between the Regional District, City of Prince George, and Prince George Fire Rescue.

The partnership saw the City of Prince George and PG Fire Rescue provide space and staff for the service, with the funding, infrastructure, and technology provided through the Regional District.

“This started off as a dream for many fire chiefs before me,” said Warner. “I am honoured to have had the opportunity to work on this project – from the strategic planning before our 2017 referendum through to this very day. This move brings the fire hall replacement project full circle.”

Meet the new school board trustees HANNA PETERSEN

Citizen staff

School District No. 57 (SD57) will see four new local faces as Prince George trustees alongside incumbent Betty Bekkering.

The new board will have to face the aftermath of the previous term, which was a rocky four-years that saw a scathing provincial special advisor’s report detailing systemic racism and a culture of fear within the district, followed by the resignation of the board of education’s chair and vice-chair.

However, the four newly elected trustees are eager to turn over a new leaf.

Along with Betty Bekkering who served as a trustee from 2011-14 and was re-elected as a trustee again in 2018, the new board will be comprised of Erica McLean, Craig Brennan, Gillian Burnett and Cory Antrim.

They will join Rachael Weber, the Mackenzie district’s trustee and Bob Thompson, the representative for the Robson Valley, who are incumbents that won by acclamation.

Milton Mahoney, who won a seat during the January 2022 by-election, was not re-elected.

“I really chose to run in this campaign for a particular reason and that was largely because I just felt that there was a strong need to support those fellow former colleagues and the students and staff. I just felt this responsibility that I could do something,” said Erica McLean, who was elected with 5,587 votes, almost 1,000 more than the next highest candidate.

McLean is Gixtsan and a former Indigenous education worker and community school coordinator.

“A lot of my work in SD57 was rooted in bringing people together. So, I feel like I was well versed in practice, in communicating what our larger goals and intentions were, but also in building relationships. I do believe we all are here for those reasons of having this common goal that we want to have success for all of our kids.”

She said her hope for the next four years is to bring the community together toward the goal of creating a strong culture for students and staff at SD57.

“When we look at it in terms of our vulnerable student population, I really hope that we can start to change the narrative to focus on belonging, and a sense of empowerment, and excitement for the learning process.

Gillian Burnett, who’s been a parent advocate for the past 12 years, said she was humbled that the public has put their trust in her to serve as a trustee.

“For me, it’s a continuation of work I was doing from the outside, but now on the inside,” said Burnett, adding she wants to focus on policy and administrative procedures, to make sure that that work gets finished.

“I’ve always tried to put the students

Even when I was supporting parents, it was always with the focus on the students, and I don’t actually think that’s going to change with my role changing.”

She added that over the next four years, she hopes to see public trust in the education system increase.

“I really think that we do have a worldclass education system here in B.C. and it’d be nice if people recognize that,” said Burnett.

“SD57 has had some problems, with the special adviser’s report, but we have really good people doing amazing work and it would be nice to have a little bit more positivity and a little less negativity.”

She added that she’s excited to get to know the new board and is looking forward to sitting down with them and coming up with some common goals and getting to work.

Cory Antrim, who has worked as a teacher, educational assistant, and coach for over 17 years, said he’s waiting to celebrate his election until he sees some positive change happening.

“With each step that we move forward, then I’ll feel more like celebrating,” noted Antrim.

He said while he campaigned focusing on the importance of extracurriculars in schools, he’s passionate about helping students, staff and families build connections to their schools.

“It’ll be the discussion with the other trustees, which topics we tackle first and how we’re going to go about doing that, but always in the back of my mind is going to be how do I help to support more connections to schools for children.

That’s always the passion that drives everything.”

Antrim added that he also wants to remain fiscally responsible and feels a

sense of civic duty to uphold the promises he made during the fall election campaign.

“I feel it’s my duty to represent everyone in our community, not just the people that voted for me, but everybody that

didn’t vote for me or didn’t vote at all. I really feel a deep commitment to helping and listening to everyone and that’s exciting for me,” added Antrim.

The new board of trustees will officially meet for the first time on Nov. 8.

McIntosh installed as new chancellor at UNBC CHRISTINE DALGLEISH

Citizen staff

Lheidli T’enneh Elder Darlene McIntosh is now the Chancellor of the University of Northern BC and Dr. Geoffrey W. Payne is now the President and Vice-Chancellor.

The installation ceremony to make it all official took place last Friday morning at the Northern Sport Centre on the university’s campus.

During the event, Lheidli T’enneh Chief Dolleen Logan did the swearing-in ceremony for McIntosh and Payne and also welcomed everyone onto the traditional unceded territory of the Lheidli T’enneh.

Kym Gouchie performed the song ‘I Am’ with the Tapestry Singers of Prince George along with dancers from Judy Russell’s Enchainement Dance Studio.

Dignitaries from the university, as well as the city, region, and other First Nations in the area offered congratulatory words of welcome to McIntosh and Payne during the installation ceremony.

“I am honoured to serve as UNBC’s Chancellor and to be the first Chancellor in UNBC’s history from the Lheidli T’enneh Nation. The immense responsibility UNBC has to the region it serves is important,” McIntosh said. “As UNBC’s Chancellor, I am proud to support the goals and objectives in having this remarkable higher learning institution in northern British Colombia and I look forward to the tremendous opportunities for continued growth and diversity in our

Payne is the sixth president of UNBC. “As your President, I am committed to collaborating with our exceptional students, faculty, staff and supporters as we explore the many exciting opportunities that await us,” Payne said. “By building

out and implementing our strategic vision, we will work together to ensure UNBC is prepared to meet challenges head-on. Over the past 17 years, I have been fortunate to work with so many bright and enthusiastic people both in my roles at the Northern Medical Program

and more recently as the Vice-President, Research. I value the relationships I have built with people in our community across our campuses, and I look forward to learning from, working with and getting to know even more of you in this new role.”

Gov’t claiming $130K seized during pullover MARK NIELSEN Citizen staff

B.C.’s Civil Forfeiture Director is seeking nearly $130,000 RCMP seized during a pullover near Valemount, alleging the cash is proceeds of crime.

Two Edmonton men, Coleten Tyler Garnier and Irfan Suri Jr., are named as defendants in a notice of claim filed Monday in

B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver.

According to the claim, on the evening of March 28, RCMP conducted a traffic stop on Highway 5 after noticing a rental car travelling above the posted speed limit. Garnier was the driver and Suri the passenger. The two became the subject of a trafficking investigation - details on how it came about were not provided other than to say a police service dog provided

a “postive identification of a controlled substance” - and a search uncovered a black bag containing bundles of cash adding up to $129,880.

Garnier and Suri Jr. were arrested on suspicion of possessing proceeds of crime as well as on suspicion of trafficking. Ten cellphones were located in the car and a police service dog found traces of drugs on the cash and through a

tracing system, serial numbers from five of the banknotes were linked to criminal offences. The money was obtained through unlawful activity and if released to the defendants will likely be used for that purpose, the claim alleges.

Suri Jr. has been charged with breaching a release order. Court records for B.C. show no further criminal counts against the two.

City getting more clout on regional district board ARTHUR WILLIAMS Citizen staff

Starting on Nov. 1, the City of Prince George’s four directors on the Regional District of Fraser-Fort George board will have 20 out of 31 votes on the board during weighted votes.

In a letter to the board dated Oct. 13, B.C. Minister of Municipal Affairs Nathan Cullen said the 2021 Census showed a population increase in the city, prompting an increase in the city’s voting power from 19 votes to 20 votes on the regional district board.

“These population figures reflect the number of people living within regional district boundaries, which may be different from the federal Census boundaries of the same name. In determining these total

population figures, Ministry of Municipal Affairs staff have made adjustments to ensure that Indian Reserve populations are included for the appropriate local government areas and to account for 2021 municipal boundary changes,” Cullen wrote. “As a result of the 2021 Census and adjustments, the Regional District of Fraser-Fort George Board composition will not change, but the City of Prince George will gain one (1) vote as a reflection of increased population.”

According to information provided by the ministry, based on 2021 Census date, Prince George’s population is 76,708.

Mackenzie has 3,281 people, Valemount 1,052 people, McBride 588 people, Electoral Area A (Salmon River - Lakes) 3,471 people, Electoral Area C (Chilako River – Nechako) 3,603 people, Electoral Area D

(Tabor Lake - Stone Creek) 4,375 people, Electoral Area E (Woodpecker – Hixon) 533 people, Area F (Willow River - Upper Fraser) 1,333 people, Electoral Area G (Crooked River – Parsnip) 446 people and Electoral Area H (Robson Valley – Canoe) 1,589 people.

The total population of the Regional District of Fraser-Fort George is 96,979, according to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs.

Each municipality and electoral area in the district receive one vote for every 4,000 people, or portion thereof. So Prince George’s four directors receive 20 votes, Electoral Area D director Bill Empey has two votes, and all other directors have one vote.

No director can have more than five votes so, should Prince George’s

population grow above 80,000 people in the next census, the city will receive a fifth director on the board.

Prince George city council nominates four members of council, which may or may not include the mayor, to sit on the regional district board as directors. The new city council is expected to nominate its four representatives to the regional district during its inaugural meeting on Nov. 7.

Non-financial decisions are largely decided by a simple majority vote, with each of the 14 directors on the board receiving one vote.

Decisions with financial ramifications for the district are weighted – meaning the City of Prince George directors hold two-thirds of the votes on the board in budgetary matters.

New downtown pool set to open next month ARTHUR WILLIAMS Citizen staff

The Canfor Leisure Pool will open to the public on Nov. 14, according to information on the City of Prince George’s website.

A series of “soft-launch preview swims” will be held from Nov. 9 to Nov. 12. Those swims will be limited to 200 people, who will be able to pre-register for spots. In addition, a grand opening will be held on Nov. 13 with 200 swimming spots available, along with games, prizes and cake.

Residents can register online starting at 9 a.m. on Nov. 1.

Starting on Nov. 14, the Canfor Leisure Pool will be open from 9 a.m. to 8:15 p.m.

Monday to Thursday; 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Fridays, and 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.

The pool’s waterslide will operate, starting at 4 p.m on weekdays and 10 a.m. on weekends.

The NinjaCross course will only be open Friday starting at 6 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. and again from 6:30 p.m. to close.

The $39.126 million project was originally expected to open in September.

A ribbon cutting ceremony and media tour of the pool was held on Wednesday morning.

“The delay is largely attributed to unanticipated trade defaults and labour shortages which are outside of the project controls. The project is anticipated to remain within this completion schedule provided there are no extenuating circumstances such as system deficiencies identified through the commissioning process or supply chain delays,” city director of recreation and events Andy Beesley reported to city council in August.

The original budget for the pool was $35.75 million, plus $500,000 for the addition of the NinjaCross course, which council approved on Feb. 22, 2021. The city received $10 million in provincial and federal grants to cover a portion of the project cost.

Of the $2.876 million cost overrun, $1.7 million was attributed to deficient primer which was on the structural steel beams when they were delivered, Beesley reported to city council in August. The city is “actively seeking compensation” for the costs linked to the deficient primer, he added.

“Much of the project’s construction has taken place during the pandemic with impacts to the project budget and schedule from market conditions and other factors,” Beesley wrote. “However, the project remains in scope and will feature the first NinjaCross obstacle course in Canada.”

In May, city council approved a fiveyear naming rights deal with Canfor for the pool. Under the deal, Canfor will pay the city $75,000 per year for five years for the naming rights, with the option to extend the deal for another five years.

Above, the main pool deck of the Canfor Leisure Pool. Right, the waterslide with a dedicated splashdown area. Bottom right, the Crecreational pool includes a shallow play area with small waterslides and play features. on Oct. 19, Beesley said the city faced significant challenges, building the pool throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

“It was absolutely incredible the challenges,” he said. “It really has been profoundly difficult.”

More than 40 local subcontractors took part in building the project, employing several hundred local workers.

“There is a lot of finishing touches to be done,” he added.

Work will continue over the next few weeks on many cosmetic details inside and outside the building, Beesley said.

Depending on the weather, completion of the landscaping may take until the spring, he added.

Some of the amenities offered by the new pool include a waterslide; a NinjaCross obstacle course which can be raised to the ceiling when not in use; a six-lane 25 m lap pool; a four-lane, 25 m teaching pool; a leisure pool with lazy river, play features and beach-style entrance; viewing area; classrooms; sauna and steam room; accessible shower rooms; and dedicated male and female change rooms, along with a large universal change room.

City aquatics manager Jim Worthington said the NinjaCross course includes two courses, one less difficult and one more difficult. Hitting a button at the end of the course stops the timing clock and sounds a horn.

The course is the first of its kind in Canada, and pool operators from several provinces have expressed interest in coming to see how the course works, Worthington said.

Significant attention has been paid to making the pool fully accessible, with features including dedicated

wheelchair-accessible, seniors and family parking stalls; accessible changerooms; wheelchair lifts into all three pools; level entry into two of the pools and stairs with handrails into all three pools; braille signage; and other features.

The pool will feature a wall of Indigenous art in the lobby, a mural by local artist Kym Gouchie and “a shiny, brand-new

bronze Terry Fox statue,” will be installed outside the pool in the coming weeks, Beesley said.

Demolition of the Four Seasons Leisure Pool, which the Canfor Leisure Pool will replace, began in September.

The Canfor Leisure Pool is located at the corner of Seventh Avenue and Quebec Street.

Popular McBride waterfalls may be up for sale ARTHUR WILLIAMS Citizen staff

The owners of a popular hiking trail leading to Rainbow Falls, outside of McBride, are looking to sell the property.

In a letter to the Regional District of Fraser-Fort George board, Leafar Lands Ltd. owners Nancy and Fred Leake said they’ve owned the land since 1971. However, the Leakes wrote, they now need to sell the land and hope to see it turned into a public park.

“We are getting old. The value of the property must be utilized for our retirement and other personal needs,” the Leakes wrote.

“We have been reluctant to sell it to just anyone because we believe it is a treasure

that should be available to everyone.

Indeed, there have been serious discussions with the Regional District several times over the last 50 years.”

The last round of discussions between the Leakes and the regional district occurred around the time when Koeneman Regional Park was established in the early 1980s, the letter said.

“We think that the reason it did not complete buying it for a park was because of a lack funds for the purpose at the time,” the Leakes wrote.

“Anyway, the main purpose of this letter is to see if there is someone who might have an idea how this might be accomplished now. Unfortunately, if nothing comes of this inquiry, it will be necessary to offer the property on the open market.”

Outgoing McBride director Allan Frederick said he’s spoken with the Leakes about the issue. Frederick urged the district and future board of directors to request a firm asking price from the Leakes, to allow a serious discussion to begin.

“It is a very spectacular piece of property,” Frederick said.

“If the regional district doesn’t buy for a park… he said they would sell it for market value.”

Director Dannielle Alan said there is significant community interest in the fate of the falls.

“It has been used as a recreation piece since longer than I’ve been in McBride,” Alan said.

However, she said, the district needs to look at both the cost of acquiring the

land, but also the cost of operating the park and what liabilities the district might face.

“The trail up to the falls is quite narrow and windy,” Alan said. “There is no guard rails by the falls.”

In addition, she said, there are other areas in the regional district with no regional parks at all, which might be higher priorities for park investments.

Director and Valemount Mayor Owen Torgerson said he’s in favour of seeking more information from the Leakes, and also passing the information on to the provincial government for a potential provincial park or trail.

The board approved a motion by Alan to respond to the Leakes, and explore what purchasing the land for a park would cost.

Hiring freeze Start talking to end war in Ukraine needed at city LESSONS IN

M

ayor Simon Yu and his new city council are facing a difficult first budget in early 2023.

The best way to let local taxpayers know they’re going to face these challenges head-on would be to implement a temporary hiring freeze at the City of Prince George during their first regular council meeting on Nov. 21.

Along with the hiring freeze, council should direct administration to prepare a report to be ready for budget discussions in the new year detailing the efforts the City of Prince George is making to reduce operating costs in 2023 and beyond. That report should show saving options across the board, not just in a few targeted departments and portfolios.

Senior city staff will almost certainly be bringing forward a budget in the new year with a whopping tax increase. History shows mayor and council will almost certainly approve such an increase because it’ll be long forgotten by the time the next election rolls around in the fall of 2026.

The least city administration can do is show how they are willing to share the pain along with everybody else. It can be decided during the budget decisions whether that hiring freeze needs to be extended and what that might look like.

For example, it would be quite reasonable for council to make the hiring freeze indefinite and order the city manager to bring a quarterly request for new hires to be considered at an open public meeting. Behind the scenes, the city manager would have to prioritize which jobs are brought forward to council for approval. That way, the elected city council, and not the city manager, would decide what are essential hires at the City of Prince George. A hiring freeze at the city is necessary because city council will likely be hiring more RCMP officers next year.

An analysis is already in the works assessing officer workloads and policing costs compared to other similar-sized B.C. municipalities. With crime rates and calls for service on the rise, mayor and council will be under enormous pressure when that report arrives to add to the contingent at the local detachment. More cops or more city workers? With so many tough decisions ahead, this choice is one of the easier ones.

he world owes a great deal to American President John F. Kennedy and Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev, who were able to back away from global nuclear destruction through skillful negotiation during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.

Reflecting on the event several months later, Kennedy made the following statement in a commencement address at American University in Washington, DC: “While defending our own vital interests, nuclear powers must avert those confrontations which bring an adversary to a choice of either a humiliating retreat or a nuclear war.

To adopt that kind of course in the nuclear age would be evidence only of the bankruptcy of our policy--or of a collective death-wish for the world.”

Yet isn’t that exactly the scenario that world leaders have created today?

Gabbard stated: “We are at greater risk of a nuclear holocaust now than we have been since the Cuban Missile Crisis.”

Since Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, only people on the extremes of the political spectrum in North America and Europe have been calling for negotiations. A deal between Russia and Ukraine to end the war was nearly reached in March yet reports state that it was refused by the United States and NATO. Every effort to reach a settlement since has also been scuttled.

This is not a Democrat or Republican issue in the United States, or a Liberal or Conservative issue in Canada. Very

few are opposing ever-increasing arms shipments to Ukraine, and our legislators are definitely not calling for serious negotiations. Our leaders are failing us and they are putting all of our lives at risk.

Vladimir Putin may be a megalomaniac, but he knows the history of his country. Russia crushed both Napoleon and Hitler, and Russia will use any means necessary to escape defeat, no matter how extreme or deadly.

This is the reality we are dealing with. We should all be terrified.

Our greatest hope is to get on our phones and call our Members of Parliament. We must persistently insist on a negotiated settlement to end the war in Ukraine.

These may well prove to be the most important phone calls any of us will ever make.

quarters and maybe for all of 2023.

The economic forces involved are not confined to Canada. They are not something created by our government. This is not “Liberal Inflation” or “Justinflation” as some opposition party members would like to label it. It is a consequence of an interconnected world economy. It is the result of years of trade liberalization and a pandemic which has rocked the supply chain.

Unfortunately, we are at a point where returning to isolationism as a strategy is no longer tenable. We live in an interconnected age.

The one thing we can’t do is rely on trickle-down economics. We are going to hear about the need to cut taxes to the wealthy as a way to stimulate economic growth. The Brits will tell you it doesn’t work. We need a better approach to weather this recession.

Seniors survey volunteers needed CHRISTINE DALGLEISH Citizen staff

With more than 29,000 people living in 294 publicly subsidized care homes in B.C. and more than 400 people living in the six care homes in Prince George, the B.C. Seniors Advocate is asking for local volunteers to survey residents to get their opinion about where they live.

In 2016/17, the seniors advocate reached out to 27,000 B.C. seniors and their families to get first-hand feedback on the quality of their care and accommodations. Now, five years later, the seniors advocate is honouring the commitment to continue to help improve care home conditions by repeating the process once again for 2022/23. That way results from

then and now can be compared, including what was learned from the pandemic to provide continued insight into ways to improve care and accommodations in long-term care facilities.

The long-term care quality of life survey examines topics like food, safety, comfort, respect and responsiveness of staff, personal relationships, medications and activities. Residents will be interviewed in person and their family members will be invited to participate by phone, online or via a written survey. The survey will be conducted at care homes between now and February 2023. A final report is planned for spring 2023.

The resident survey is conducted in person by volunteers in every region in the province and seniors advocate Isobel

Mackenzie is asking for volunteers to engage with residents in Prince George.

“We know British Columbians care deeply about seniors, and through participating in this survey, you can help shape the future for people in residential care homes across the province,” Mackenzie said in a recent press release.

As a result of the 2017 final report called Every Voice Counts: Provincial Residential Care Survey Results, the seniors advocate made several recommendations for improvement to the system that includes the following: • increasing care hours and ensuring staffing levels are enforced and monitored by heath authorities • increasing flexibility of how and when care and services are delivered

• examining opportunities to improve the meal time experience • advising health authorities to administer a similar quality of care survey to care home residents and family members in 2019/20 and publish the results • increasing training focused on the emotional needs of residents • foster greater engagement with family members particularly in regard to family councils and visitor handwashing • better physician care and increasing the role of nurse practitioners • increasing the range of activities, particularly in the evenings and weekends • undertaking the survey again in five years.

To take part in the survey process, visit www.surveybcseniors.org/volunteer.

Funding sought for Home Hospice Program The Prince George Hospice Palliative Care Society is holding its first-ever direct request to community members for philanthropic donations.

This new annual appeal will complement the organization’s established fundraising events and Dream Home Lottery.

Hospice says the success of the campaign will allow the organization to be responsive to changing needs in the

community while growing the impact of fund development initiatives.

Hospice wants to expand its services so that people can fulfill their desire to choose where they die and Home Hospice is a new program that will bring expert and compassionate care to those who choose to die at home with family.

“The community’s support is critical for us to expand into this new much-needed

service. I know Prince George will respond as it always does,” said executive director Donna Flood.

Over the next six weeks, the hospice society will be reaching out through direct mail and neighbourhood letter drops, social and traditional media appeals for charitable donations to the annual fund.

“Through the expert hospice care at

the Rotary Hospice House and a growing suite of community programs, PGHPCS has established itself as a centre of excellence in palliative care and grief support right here in Prince George,” said board chair Steve Henderson. “The generosity of the community has been essential to this success and our board is proud to stand behind this new fundraising initiative.”

Photographer marks Halloween with Witch Day CHRISTINE DALGLEISH Citizen staff

When there’s an event posted on Facebook called Witch Photo Day, curiosity is piqued, to say the least, even though Halloween is just around the corner.

Ellen Litvinova decided to bring her European perspective to Prince George residents through her photography where people in the mainstream are encouraged to venture out of their comfort zone and into her costume closet.

Ellen has explored her creativity through her photography for about five years and moved to Prince George two years ago, bringing some European flavour to outdoorsy Prince George.

When it’s Halloween season, nature and a little magic go hand-in-hand so when people reached out to Ellen about Witch Photo Day, the photo shoot ended up needing a bit more privacy than what is offered at Cottonwood Island Park so away the group went to do the shoot at West Lake as the four participants wished it to be a boudoir event.

Ellen said she usually takes photos at weddings, for engagements, family photos and keeps it family-friendly or risqué, depending on what the client’s needs are.

She’s good with it all and will gently guide a client if they are unsure of what they would like to do, offering glimpses of photos she’s done before that can provide inspiration if the client doesn’t really know what they want other than an image captured to look back on in years to come.

“Halloween photography is kind of new to me and it’s so much fun,” Ellen said.

Witch Photo Day ended up an event where Ellen brought along a friend that does hair and makeup and Ellen brought costumes and props.

They made a day of it and then ended up chatting at the end of it talking about favourite Halloween movies.

Ellen said it was a great way to get into the spirit of Halloween and people shared a lot of ideas of how they will celebrate on Halloween.

“I think my experience comes into play when I have a client that is a little bit shy,” Ellen said.

“We will have a little talk and if they don’t have their own ideas about poses then I can give advice and then during the next photo shoot they usually bring their own ideas to me. If I see a couple that’s a bit uncomfortable I will talk to them about how other couple’s would pose and that helps people make a decision on what they would like to do.”

Ellen has a beautiful photo on her Facebook page that sees a woman in a cape that is opening a box in a forest, there is magic coming from the box to enhance the Halloween mystery and she uses Photoshop for that.

“Some people like the photos as they are with the focus on nature and the forest and some people like them with a little magic added,” Ellen laughed. “It’s the client’s decision on what they’d like included in the photos. Everyone likes magic at Halloween and we all need a little magic in our lives.”

Check out Ellen’s photography on her Facebook page at ellenphotographerbc.

1. Flu shots are free and recommended for everyone 6 months and older With other respiratory illnesses like COVID-19 going around this fall, it’s important to protect yourself and others in your community by getting a flu shot – especially those who could get very sick, like young children and elderly people.

The family of Milt Barnes sadly announces his sudden passing on October 17, 2022 at the University Hospital of Northern BC. Milt was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and shortly thereafter his mother, Alice Gertrude Barnes, moved to Nordegg, Alberta-a coal mining town. His step-father, Bill Bell, was a forest ranger. In 1942 they moved to Vancouver. What a change from remote wilderness sounds to the sound of street cars and city life. The family lived in many places in BC before settling in Mission, BC. where Milt met Elma Rudnas in 1956 and they were married in 1958-64 years ago. Milt was so proud of his family: Brenda (Doug), Brian (Donalda) and Ken (Lorraine). He told everyone “he is the richest man on earth because he has Elma and his family”. He now has five grandchildren: Daryl and Jennifer Miller, Amy Farella (nee Barnes), and Nolan and Garett Barnes and eight great grandchildren. Milt and his family moved to Prince George in 1965. He was a drywaller during the booming years of Prince George-retiring in 1997.

Milt and Elma enjoyed many years of travelling.

They have many friends at River Bend Senior Community, moving there in 2017.

Thank you to Dr. Khan, Optimum Home Care workers and Gateway Pharmacy.

In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the charity of your choice.

It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Olive Streifel. She will be missed by many as she is reunited with her late husband Philip (April 2016). May you both Rest In Peace. A heartfelt thanks to the amazing Dunrovan Lodge staff for keeping Ollie healthy, happy and active throughout her final years.

Bakken, Neil W. October 3, 1965 - August 16, 2022 Neil would have been 57 years old on October 3. He was predeceased by his parents, Norman and Joyce Bakken, nephew Aaron Mooney, and his sister Anita Bakken. He is survived by his sisters Norma, Lynn and Lorraine; nephews Andrew Mooney and Ryan O’Connell; and niece Caitlin O’Connell. Neil was loved. He was a son, a brother, an uncle and a friend. On August 16, after some long days at work, he made a decision to use drugs. He was alone, and he died because of an unsafe drug supply. He was a functional person who was contributing to his community, and he should still be with us today. We miss him.

Neil was born in Kamloops in 1965. We moved to Prince George in 1966. He was a happy, adventurous boy who loved to climb, swim, read and play basketball. He could identify every type of rock there was and had a wonderful sense of humour. As an adult, he worked out, was an avid mountain biker and a serious cyclist. He had an encyclopedic knowledge of a broad range of musicians and their music. He lived and worked in Prince George, Northern Saskatchewan, Vancouver, the Okanagan and Victoria. He even worked a bit in Hawaii while visiting his sister. His career as a vinyl deck installer came to an abrupt end in 2005 due to an industrial accident when he smashed both his feet after falling through a defective railing. His life from there was not easy, but he never stopped trying. He moved to Victoria with his mother in 2014. He was a wonderful support to her and his sister Anita in their last days.

Neil found community and purpose working the last year for Solid in Victoria, providing peer support at safe injection sites.

He did not die of an overdose - he died because of the toxic drug situation. Please support the need for a safe drug supply, and if you can, consider donating to organizations such as SOLID in Victoria that are trying to save lives in memory of Neil and others who have needlessly died.

Early on Sunday morning, October 16th, 2022, Donald E. Ford of Prince George, BC passed away peacefully after a short illness with family and loved ones close by.

As a young man of 19 years, Don moved to Prince George in May of 1952 in search of work and has remained ever since. A hard-working individual, Don put his hand to many jobs before finally settling into a career with Sun Life to which he retired from after 34 years. Don was also very active in the community with 65 years of service with the Royal Canadian Legion along with 26 years of membership with the Elks.

Don is survived by many family members including; daughters, Debbie Bailey, Tammy Miller and Connie Buckingham; sons Tom and David Ford, grandsons, granddaughters, great grandchildren and two great-great granddaughters.

A Celebration of this amazing Life will be held in the Spring of 2023 and details of the event will be made available as soon as they are confirmed.

“Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal” - Unknown

Al passed away peacefully on the morning of October 18th surrounded by family.

Al was born in Kimberly, BC, where he started a lifelong love affair with the game of golf and his wife, Joan. He was an avid golfer from 1946 to 2019, and a devoted husband from 1962 to the end. He played hockey in his youth and could skate rings around anyone who joined him on the ice he created in a flooded backyard rink. He transferred around the province in his 30 years with Overwaitea and took up skiing when his final move with the company brought the family to Prince George in 1973. He was as graceful on the mountain as he was on the ice. However, his true passion was always golf, highlights of which included winning numerous tournaments and championships and hitting one of his hole-in-ones in May 1991. Al also enjoyed any nature documentary on offer and a good, if elusive, steak sandwich.

He is survived by his loving wife, Joan, son Dave (Deb), daughter Brenda (Tom Celuszak), and grandchildren Matt, Katie (Jesse), Chloe, and Holly, and his sister Lucille (Chuck Johnstone).

Al was predeceased by his parents (Helmer and Violet) and sister Ilene (Nairn Suttie).

We hope he is at last warm and has found the perfect cup of coffee.

Services will be held on Saturday, October 29th at 11:30 am at Assman’s Funeral Home with a reception to follow at 3789 James Dr. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to a charity of your choice.

GRAHAM, William E. April 12, 1930 - September 27, 2022 We are sad to announce that Bill passed away at the age of 92 at the Jubilee Lodge on September 27, 2022, with his wife and son Marty by his side.

Bill is survived by his loving wife, Elfriede; sons Geoff, David (Janine) and Marty (Sherrie); daughter Judy (Chris); eleven grandchildren; eleven great-grandchildren; and his only surviving sibling Gordon (Carole) Graham.

Rest In Peace, Dad.

Lillian was born in 1942 in Star City, Saskatchewan - eldest daughter of Mae Erickson and Roy Meier (then Alfred Erickson).

Lillian was the eldest of three, sister Sharon and brother Ralph. The family moved to Prince George in the 1960’s, where she met and fell in love with Sandor (Supi). Lillian and Supi were married in May 1962 spending 59 years together in Prince George, raising two beautiful daughters - Laura and Lynda - whom she loved dearly.

Lillian was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. Her grandsons were her pride and joy and she loved and bragged about them continually.

Lillian was very active member in the Beaverly Community - a volunteer firefighter and a member of the Dusty Trail Riders for many years. Most days, she could be found on her horse Lucky, marking trails for the annual endurance ride with her friends or at a DTR event, whether it was a horse show or gymkhana…didn’t matter.

Lillian passed away at 80 years of age. She is survived by her daughters Laura and Lynda, son in law Fred, her grandchildren Matthew, Regina and Jaymes, her great grandchildren Marshall, Delainey and Bryceson. Lillian had a life filled with love for her family, friends, and horses! The family is holding a funeral service at Assman’s Funeral Home on October 28th at 1:00 pm with a reception to follow at the Prince George Golf and Curling Club. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Alzheimers Society.

With heavy hearts, our family is saddened by the loss of a beloved husband, father, brother, uncle and friend, Frank Howard Burleigh.

Frank passed unexpectedly in his home on October 19, 2022. Frank was a man who was loved by all and made time to make all who knew him feel important without judgement. He was a talented carpenter by day, and a busy man after work, being an avid outdoorsman, trapper, musician, sports fan, and a beer and tequila enthusiast. The love he had for his family continues to show, and the passion he had for every day will inspire all who knew him to find joy in the slow morning coffees and the birds singing.

Frank is survived by his wife Jennifer Sumner, his children Kevin, Kristen and Danielle, his siblings Peter and Chris, Linda, Lawrence, and Terri, as well as an abundance of extended loving family.

Here are four factors that are important to keep in mind.

1. THE LEGAL ASPECT The first step is to contact your municipality to determine whether this type of renovation is permitted and, if so, what standards you’ll need to meet. Among other things, you may be required to have a minimum ceiling height, a fire separation between the units and a certain number of windows and exits. You should also find out what permits you’ll need.

2. THE BASIC COMFORTS In order for a basement to be truly livable, you need to make sure the space has proper ventilation and that dampness isn’t an issue. You should also maximize the amount of natural light that enters the apartment,

and make sure the space is adequately insulated and soundproofed.

3. THE DIVISION OF SPACE If you’re converting an unfinished basement, it might be more cost-effective to design a studio apartment.

If your basement already has rooms, consider which walls to keep or remove in order to create a functional kitchen, bathroom, living room and bedroom. You should also incorporate sufficient storage space and, if possible, a laundry room.

4. THE FINISHING TOUCHES Since basements tend to get less natural light and have lower ceilings than the rest of the house, it’s a good idea to favour light colours and materials for the walls, flooring and cabinets. This will help make the space feel bigger, brighter and airier.

Finally, be sure to work with certified professionals to ensure your renovation is a success.

Exposed beams and pipes: tips to hide or highlight them

Do you have an unfinished basement that you want to make more appealing? Or maybe you have an old house with exposed pipes? In either case, here are some ideas for how you can cleverly conceal or proudly showcase the beams and pipes in your home.

How to add an interior wall to your home

Do you want to improve the layout of your home by creating a new room or dividing an existing one? If so, here’s how to add an interior, non-load-bearing wall.

DECIDE ON THE LOCATION It’s important to take into account the alignment of the ceiling joists when deciding where to build a wall. If they run parallel, for example, you’ll need to erect the wall directly beneath one of the joists. Use a stud finder and a square to determine the best spot for the wall.

Then, mark the location on the floor and ceiling with a chalk line.

GATHER THE RIGHT MATERIALS In addition to buying or renting any tools you don’t already own, such as a circular saw or drill, make sure you have all the required materials. Among other things, you’ll need dimensional lumber, wood screws, primer and drywall. Make sure to measure the space where the wall will be built so you can determine the quantity of

supplies required. If you need advice, you can ask an expert at your local hardware store.

INSTALL THE PLATES AND STUDS Start by cutting the plates (the lumber that runs horizontally along the floor and ceiling) to the required length, and then screw them into place. Next, cut the vertical studs to fit between the plates, and screw them in one at a time. They should be evenly spaced out.

Finally, install cross-studs between each stud at the midpoint between the floor and ceiling.

ADD THE FINISHING TOUCHES Screw the sheets of drywall into the studs and crossstuds, then finish the drywall joints. Conclude the project by installing the baseboards and painting the new wall.

Find everything you need to complete this simple, affordable project at your local hardware store. Alternatively, hire a contractor to ensure the job gets done right.

BEAMS To hide your beams, consider installing a dropped ceiling below them. If you want to add more character to the space, however, you can cover them up with draped fabric. Alternatively, you may want to paint the beams so they blend in with the ceiling, or use a contrasting colour to create interest.

plywood painted to match the surrounding surface.

Alternatively, you can paint the pipes themselves, either to add a pop of colour to the room or make their presence less apparent. Depending on where the pipes are located, you may want to use them as rods to hang towels or clothes. Another option is to wrap the pipes with artificial flowering vines or strings of LED fairy lights.

Whether you choose to camouflage or embellish the beams and pipes in your home, you can find everything you need at the stores in your area.

Keep in mind that you might be able to use exposed beams to hang various items, such as a swing for your kids, a hammock for naps or string lights to give the room a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

PIPES While ideal for an industrial-style loft, exposed pipes don’t necessarily suit every design style. If you have pipes that run near the junction of a wall and ceiling, one option is to hide them behind crown moulding. This can add an air of sophistication to the space.

For pipes located elsewhere, you can box them in with drywall or

4 advantages of smart thermostats tors such as the time of day and the weather forecast.

Smart thermostats are home automation devices that can be used to control heating, cooling and ventilation systems. Since they connect to your smartphone or tablet, you can easily adjust them remotely. Here are four benefits of installing smart thermostats in your home:

3. They connect to user-friendly applications, which makes them easier to operate than standard programmable electronic thermostats.

1. They can send notifications to your smartphone to alert you if the temperature in your home crosses a certain limit.

4. They help make your home more energy efficient and eco-friendly by allowing you to turn off your heating or cooling system when no one’s home.

2. They lower the cost of your energy bills because you can program them to adjust the temperature based on fac-

To enjoy these and other benefits, be sure to equip your home with smart thermostats.

Tar and gravel: a practical option for flat roofs An ideal way to cover homes that have a flat roof is with tar and gravel. This option involves using four or five sheets of asphalt-coated roofing felt, which is then covered with gravel to protect the underlying material from sun damage.

This multi-layered surface can resist impact from hail and falling debris. It also greatly reduces the risk of water infiltration. While durable and easy to repair, a tar and gravel roof must be properly maintained in order to reach its life expectancy of 25 years. Most importantly, you should inspect the roof once a year and add gravel as needed to ensure the roofing felt isn’t weakened by the sun’s UV rays.

3 tips for creating the ideal dining area

Do you want to add a dining room to your open-concept living space? Or perhaps you want to make room for a breakfast nook in your kitchen? In either case, here are a few tips to help you create a beautiful and functional eating area.

1. USE YOUR IMAGINATION If your home doesn’t have a designated dining room, you’ll need to get creative. Fortunately, there are plenty of ways to incorporate an eating area into your living room or kitchen. For example, you could:

• Opt for an extendable table with bench seating • Use a kitchen island or peninsula as a bar • Set up a few bistro-style tables rather than one large table • Install a corner bench to provide seating and storage

• Choose a coffee table with a lift top 2. DEFINE THE SPACE If possible, add features that make the dining area distinct from the space around it. This can be done by placing a rug under the table, rearranging furniture to divide the space, using wallpaper to create an accent wall or painting the ceiling above the dining area a different colour.

3. ADD A DECORATIVE TOUCH To make your dining area more inviting, be sure to include a few decorative accessories. A stylish tablecloth, a vase with fresh cut flowers, a piece of art on the wall and patterned seat cushions are all items that can spruce up the space without making it feel cluttered.

To find the furniture and accessories you need for your dining space, visit the stores in your region.

An affordable option for flat surfaces, a tar and gravel roof can be easily adapted to accommodate chimneys, skylights and other features. However, it’s not compatible with certain types of insulation.

To avoid any issues, your tar and gravel roof should be installed by an experienced professional. Reach out to a local roofing company to ensure optimal results.
