Elders update

Hello everyone

My heart goes out to the family, friends of Vivian Paul.

Our community stands strong together in heart felt

losses such as these. Mayaxala one another <3

A little update on what has been happening here with

our Elders:

I brought granny Sarah & Richard down to Courtenay

for a check up appointment. She seems to be healing

very well from laser treatment. I shall be taking her

back down in two weeks times.

We have had one or two Elder's Council meetings in

the last little while. A few of those members were away

so it may seem like we haven't had a meeting for quite

some time now. Please be patient. We will resume back

to normal next week.

The Elder's Halloween party was held here at the

Elder's Center Friday the day of Halloween. We only

had about 6 or 7 Elders show up. But that's ok. We still

had lots of fun. We dressed up, had a nice big spread of

food, played games and the Elders won prizes.

I have been keeping up to date with accounting and

book keeping for the time being. As well as helping

when I can where I am needed with services and such.

I have also been meeting and talking on the phone with

the Elder's workers from Quatsino & Fort Rupert. We

will be joining together with the other nations and

having Tri-Band Elder's luncheons on a regular basis.

Good Food Bag

Recipes

November 7th, 2014

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to let everyone know that this Good

Food Bag will be my last as I am moving on to a

different endeavor. I would like to say that I

enjoyed keeping the Good Food Bag Program

going and have met so many wonderful people

along the way. Thank you for sharing ideas,

recipes and kind words of encouragement

throughout my time here. Please don’t hesitate

to contact me if you want to keep sharing recipes

or want to keep in touch, my email will remain

the same

Good luck everyone with eating healthy and

trying new things. Don’t forget to encourage

others and share ideas. Our best strengths come

from within but we are also motivated to stay

strong from being supported and inspired by

others.

Michelle Beaulieu,

Food Security & Nutrition Coordinator

[email protected]

You may have noticed that this time of the year

(winter) is when some vegetables and other items

become more expensive and you may find

yourself buying the same thing over and over

because it’s affordable. The reality is….you are

being smart, eating what is in season….you just

might need a bit of creativity to not get bored of

your meals!

I’m going to push this website again because I

think it is the most amazing site for recipe ideas

out there.

Give it a try! http://www.tastespotting.com

In the upper right hand corner there is a search

option – type in cabbage.

See how many ideas there are! You can do this

search with anything….try carrot (voilà! So

many ideas).

Remember when you are looking at a recipe you

may see items you don’t know, don’t like, can’t

get, or can’t afford. Don’t sweat it! You can

“tweak” any recipe - search substitutions on the

Internet, this will give you some flexibility.

Tips for searching for recipe ideas:

1. Start with ingredients you already have

such as meat and vegetables.

2. Try to keep to what is in season.

3. Google or use

http://www.tastespotting.com or other

recipe search engines to type in your

ingredients you already have (ex.

Broccoli).

4. Take a few minutes and skim some

different recipes…. find any that appeals

to you?

5. ALWAYS think of the healthier options

(see previous GFB recipe tips) – which oils

are better? Which cooking method is

healthier? Which ingredients will help

balance me (too much carbs, gluten,

sugars etc.), brown instead of white etc.

6. Go ahead try something new! You might

just surprise yourself

1 large head cabbage, leaves separated

and cooked until just soft

¼ cup hoisin sauce

2 tablespoons water

To Prepare:

1. Cut end off the cabbage, peel away each

cabbage leaf and steam the leaves until

soft enough to fold already – then you can

skip this step). Set aside.

2. Cook 1 cup rice.

3. Pre-heat oven to 375oF

4. Mix chopped onion, red pepper flakes,

grated carrot, minced ginger, chopped

mushrooms, cooked rice, cilantro, soy

sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil and

the cabbage leaf. Roll leaf starting with

the stem end. Place seam side down on a

baking dish.

6. Mix hoisin and water and drizzle over

cabbage rolls.

The recipe for the Cabbage wraps can be

substituted for the above (everything in

changes). Enjoy ;)

Side Dish (Optional):

Ingredients:

Mushrooms, stems removed

Spinach cooked or chopped fine.

2-3 cloves Garlic, minced

Cheese (goat or grated mozzarella or

cream cheese)

Crab (optional)

½ onion, minced

Basil

To Prepare:

1. Carefully remove mushroom caps, place

caps upside down on a baking dish. Bake

@ 375 for 5 min (this will allow the juices

to drain).

2. Mix spinach, garlic, onion, basil and

softened (or grated) cheese. Adding crab

is a delicious delight!

3. Spoon the mixture into the mushroom

caps.

4. Bake for 15min @ 375oF.

5. Let cool before eating because the cheese

will be hot!

YO! JOB TRAINING AD

GIS Technician Training

Natural Resources Department

Band Office

Wage: $12/hr to start

Deadline to Apply: November 20th, 2014

Schedule: 35 hrs/week, one-year term (part-time hours may

be considered)

Description: Training will be provided on a one-on-one basis to an individual interested in learning Geographic

Information Systems (GIS) and spatial data management. We aim to mentor a Band member in building the skills

necessary to support staff in the Natural Resources office and elsewhere in spatial data management, map-making,

and data/information queries. Projects are likely to involve managing and collecting data for traditional use studies

(TUS) and general mapping of data in the Territory. The majority of the work will be office-based.

Experience: Experience in PC computers and basic Windows software programs and commands (eg. Opening and

closing windows, cut/copy/paste, etc). Ability to trouble-shoot computer problems and a working knowledge of

spreadsheets are key assets, but will train the right person.

HOW TO APPLY: Bring cover letter and resume to Erin Latham in the Natural Resources Dept of the Band office.

Feel free to come in and ask questions before applying if interested. Applicants will be contacted for interviews.

Introduction to Erin

Hi everyone!

My name is Erin Latham and I have just started in the Natural Resources department at the Band office!

I’m a PhD candidate from the Geography department at the University of Victoria. I just moved this spring from

Alert Bay, and before that was Victoria. I’ve moved around a fair bit, but I’m very happy to be in Port Hardy, and

my dog Bodhi seems to love it too! My research involves learning about aquaculture and the various influences that

effect its development, and how these effect First Nation’s opportunities to engage both in the industry and its

management institutions. Quite a mouthful, I know! The research goals harmonize well with the research goals of

the community, and the GNN has outlined specific community-based objectives and outcomes that will involve us

talking to community members and other local people about aquaculture. I am fortunate to bring my own research

funding, and so you might consider me as an ‘unofficial’ Staff Member at the Band office.

Also while I’m here, and when I’m not reading about aquaculture or discussing aquaculture, I will be providing staff

support to the Natural Resources department primarily through my geographic information systems (GIS) skills. I

will be developing a GIS mentoring program specifically for the GNN which I consider to be more fun than work! I’m

looking forward to working with community members of all ages and finding opportunities to teach and learn about

the exciting world of GIS and maps! I want to thank you all for welcoming me into your community. I’m grateful to

be working here and I look forward to meeting everyone! I am in the Natural Resource office. Feel free to drop by

anytime. You can also reach me by email or phone: [email protected], and (250) 902-0550.
