Cécile FavronAn ambitious plan is underway to replace

� sh habitat impacted during site preparation for a planned large lique� ed natural gas (LNG) project near Kitimat.

But the new habitat won't be anywhere near the planned Kitimat LNG project at Bish Cove in the Douglas Channel off the Kitimat Arm.

Instead, Chevron wants to construct new hab-itat 35 kilometres north across the Kitimat River and up the Wedeene Forest Service Road at Cecil Ponds and Cecil Creek.

Damage to Bish Cove habitat is acknowl-edged in a report which outlines the compensa-tion project, describing it as an “unavoidable loss” during work there between 2011 and late 2014.

The damage was authorized by federal � sher-ies of� cials on the condition that the habitat was then replaced.

The plan is to connect Cecil Ponds to Cecil Creek together with channels, said Gillian Robin-son from Chevron.

“There is [currently] no access from the ponds to the creeks,” Robinson explained of the chosen location. “We are building channels so that juveniles can winter there because the ponds are warmer than the creeks which leads to better survival.”

Cecil Creek connects to the Kitimat River and then to the ocean so that, in effect, Chevron wants to build a transit route from the ponds through the creek to the ocean.

The site is expected to develop habitat for Pa-ci� c salmon (coho), rainbow and cuttroat trout, and Dolley Varden char, and such a project is common for industrial projects around water, said Robinson.

Responders to the rescueThe Kitimat Marine Rescue Society were invited to Prince Rupert’s Seafest, to celebrate with the Prince Rupert Marine Rescue group. The Prince Rupert group used the time — and the presence of four other rescue units in town — to do maintenance, putting Kitimat and others on stand-by for calls. En route to Prince Rupert, Kitimat responded to a distress call of a vessel which had lost power, and needed tow back to Port Edward. On their way back to Kitimat they responded to another call of a boat with lost power, thankfully much closer to town and only needed a few minutes to be brought back to the Rio Tinto Alcan boat launch. Kitimat performed the rescues with a crew of four. Above is a photo from the � rst incident near Prince Rupert. Kitimat Marine Rescue Society Facebook page

Recycling programs will extend landfill lifeCameron Orr

It can depend on a number of factors, but the Kitimat land-� ll may have just 40 years left before the land� ll is land-full.

That’s an estimate provided by the Director of Engineering Tim Gleig based on a land� ll survey recently received by the town — which is so new in the of� ce he hasn’t read to the end of it yet — but that estimated life span may give pause to think for city council.

Councillors, at a June 22 Committee of the Whole meet-ing, reviewed recycling options, with an eye at land� ll diver-sion tactics, from an expert in recycling projects in B.C., Maura Walker.

Walker has worked extensively in the province on recy-cling, including within our or Kitimat-Stikine Regional Dis-trict.

She points to studies showing that in the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine, per person, people toss about 750 kilograms worth of trash. Only about 10 per cent of that is diverted from land� lls.

Provincially, she said, the average is 570 kg a person.Aside from lengthening the lifespan of a community’s

land� ll, diverting products has a number of bene� ts, including job creation and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, she said.

Province-wide she says there are efforts in the works to drop the per-capita trash rate to just 350 kg a person by 2020.

She said the pressures that other jurisdictions have had for

land� lls hasn’t quite reached Northern B.C. yet but she said it will happen. Meanwhile the cost of creating a land� ll is ex-pected to increase while new regulatory requirements of land-� ll closure will also add to cost pressures.

For illustrative purposes she pointed to Nanaimo which has a 70 per cent land� ll diversion rate. Better diversion can be had by developing curbside recycling, or putting land� ll restric-tions on easily diverted material.

Commercial cardboard in Kitimat is already banned at the land� ll.

There is a will from council to develop recycling initia-tives. Mario Feldhoff said it makes him sick to see everything that goes in to the Kitimat land� ll.

“There are things we can do, we can learn from other com-munities,” he said.

He called for council to have a workshop in the near future to discuss what to do with recycling in the community. Ger-muth agreed, saying it should include all the local stakeholders in the issue.

The estimate of Kitimat’s land� ll’s lifespan of 40 years in-cludes an expansion of the property to the east, which would occur once the phase 3 capacity is reached in 2034, based on a “medium high growth rate” of 43 per cent from 2011 to 2031, and no change in the diversion rate.

So basically if the town manages to develop recycling pro-grams to divert waste from the land� ll, we’ll see a longer lifes-pan for our dump than just 40 years.

June 15A person reported

to the RCMP that she had received a strange call from someone saying they were from Reader’s Digest and they had a cheque to drop off at her home. The caller did not know the person’s name, police say. Police pro-vides assistance to the complainant and no person did show up the following day to the home. Police are still investigating the event and are asking people to report any similar occurrences.

June 17A person called

the RCMP concerned that their 15-year-old brother in law was walking to Ter-race. Police found the youth by the Hirsch Creek Bridge and took the person back in to Kitimat where a fam-ily member offered to driver the person to Terrace.

June 18A report of mis-

chief to a home at 3:29 p.m. brought out the police.

RCMP say three men came to a per-son’s home to con-front a youth who they suspected of stealing something from a ve-hicle the night before. Police are still investi-gating this incident.

June 19Police were alerted

to a youth who was re-portedly squatting in a vacant apartment on Albatross Ave. Police spoke to a property representative who said the youth had since run away. Police consulted with the Ministry of Children and Family Development who are aware of the youth.

The locks on the apart-ment have since been changed.

June 21Police recovered

the red and black CCM bicycle, which had the name Chad hand writ-ten on it. If this bike is yours contact the RCMP.

At 2:59 p.m. the RCMP attended to a two-vehicle collision

at the cemetery on Hwy 37S. Police say a northbound vehicle turning left into the cemetery failed to yield to a southbound pick-up truck. The driver of the left-turning vehicle was treated for minor injuries and served a violation ticket for fail-ing to yield on a left turn. Both vehicles re-quired towing.

Aaah, the Great OutdoorsHiking, camping and pitching a tent...what better way to enjoy what Mother Nature provides? You can minimize your impact on nature by keeping the following tips in mind.

• Camp in a spot that has already been used and leave the campsite in as natural a state as you can.

• Wash your dishes, clothes and yourself, including brushing your teeth, at least 30 metres away from rivers, streams, lakes or ponds. When washing with soap, use it well away from natural water sources and pour it into highly absorbent ground.

• Use dead wood you � nd on the ground to make a � re (providing � res are permitted) and make sure the ashes are cool before you leave.

Trailer home escapes a tax write off for nowThe saga of the

trailer at Vista Village, the same one B.C. As-sessment said was worth zero dollars and has been the subject of an ongoing effort to get a tax write-off, has es-caped the tax write-off

for now.That’s because the

home, which at one point was considered abandoned, is now not, with the previous owner saying he hasn’t given up the property.

The administration

in Kitimat had been wanting to allow a re-quest for a tax write off — worth about $2,000 — following a request from the park owner who wanted to demol-ish the trailer.

The trailer has a

spotty history as far as ownership goes. It’s passed through a num-ber of hands but it’s been unclear at times who, on paper, actually owns the unit.

District Treasurer Steve Christiansen said

the town had originally believed the trailer to be considered aban-doned but he says since that it appears the last owner is not consid-ering it abandoned, which means the town is comfortable drop-

ping the approval of a tax write-off process and rather have the tax collector work to re-trieve the unpaid taxes.

Based on a letter

co-written by the own-er and the Housing Re-source Project, it seems there are still hopes of talks between the own-er and the park owner.

Town ponders bylaws for false alarmsFor an average call the staff sergeant

at the Kitimat RCMP says false alarms cost officers about half an hour of their time.

Yet with an abundance of false alarms reported every month that time adds up fast, which has town council thinking about ways to solve the problem through bylaw.

The RCMP in town have already taken steps to reduce call-outs for them,

but the town itself is considering adopt-ing a false alarm bylaw, and are looking at other communities in the province for examples.

The week of June 8 to 14 alone had seven reported false alarms by the RCMP. Those files can range from calls which were cancelled before police arrival to incidents where officers had to ensure a property was secure.

And as S/Sgt. Phil Harrison says, if

it’s a place like a school for instance, the time for officers can be substantial.

The Kitimat RCMP has implemented a policy where if there have been three false alarms in six months the police will not return to the property on a call unless the owner provides documentation that the alarm system has been inspected and calibrated by a professional service.

Councillors heard the report but did not immediately push for a new bylaw.

Continued from page 1Chevron is applying for a licence from the provincial Min-

istry of Forests, Lands, and Natural Resources for use of the land, a process that is currently in the public feedback phase.

Chevron's application and development plan for the man-made fish channels are available to the public and comments received are taken into account, said provincial government of-ficial Greig Bethel.

A decision on the land licence is expected in mid-July, but it is still subject to approval by environmental authorities because of the changes to the water system these human-con-structed fish channels will create.

If approved, Chevron will pay the provincial authority 7.5 per cent of the land value in rent on the 106 hectare section each year for the next ten years.

Robinson said that, if their application is approved, “we will begin to design the project [this year] and next year we will finalize the design and begin to build depending on the weather, the season, and if it is a sensitive time for habitat.”

Chevron's application states that survey work to determine if the Cecil Ponds area is suitable will begin by digging test pits and monitoring water levels. The Cecil Ponds area includes three ponds and the neighbouring Cecil Creek which will be connected by channels.

Construction at the site is currently scheduled to take place over six to eight weeks July to August of 2016. About 2,500 square meters of forest are expected to be cleared and it is pos-sible that the access road will be surfaced with gravel to facili-

tate heavy equipment access to the site.The project plan states that if the Cecil Ponds area proves

unsuitable, the company will develop habitat around Cecil Creek by building a groundwater channel and that process would “result in a larger area disturbed” according to the docu-ment.

After the project is completed, Chevron's document asserts that the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada requires them to monitor the site for five years after the project is com-pleted, but Chevron says they plan to visit the site one day per year to check up on it until 2021.

A separate environmental assessment was done for Bish Cove, but it is not affiliated with this new project.

The Bish Cove area fish habitat damage will affect Pacific salmon and other species of fish which call the inlet home.

Federal fisheries officials explained in a statement that the fish harmed are a fisheries resource, saying that “the [Kitimat LNG] project will potentially impact fish habitat that support commercial, recreational, and aboriginal fisheries in Kitimat Arm ... The authorization includes measures to avoid, mitigate as well as compensate/offset these impacts to ensure the ongo-ing productivity and sustainability of the fisheries resources.”

Kitimat LNG is one of two large planned LNG projects for the Kitimat area but Chevron and partner Woodside Energy of Australia have yet to make a final investment decision.

The project does have the support of the Haisla Nation which will receive revenues and taxes based on leasing the Bish Cove location.

Well, that was it, the NHL Awards Show emanating from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. How was it?

Wow, as professional sports’ only awards event to have a TV show, suf-� ce to say it was two hours-plus, run-ning 10 minutes overtime, and apart from the actual presentations of the an-nual awards, was perhaps the most em-barrassing, unfunny and cringe-worthy awards shows ever aired.

I doubt the ratings will ever be re-vealed.

It turned out to be another serious black eye for the NHL and its current game-rights holder Rogers Commu-nications, which has had a monumen-tally bad � rst-year experience since it committed in November 2013, to a landmark 12-year, $5.2-billion na-tional broadcast rights and multimedia agreement in Canada with the National Hockey League.

The deal includes all national rights to NHL games on all platforms in all languages, marking the � rst time in history a North American professional sports league has granted all of its na-tional rights to one company long-term.

Last Wednesday night the NHL broadcast its annual awards presenta-

tion - Las Vegas style - on Sportsnet, airing what I thought was the most bor-ing, time-wasting, mundane and dull “entertainment” events in history.

Even the players and awards win-ners barely made the awful show bearable. But Carey Price, B.C.-born Montreal Canadiens and Team Canada goaltender, took four major awards. Price took home the Hart Trophy as the NHL’s most valuable player, the Vezina Trophy as the League’s best goalie and the Ted Lindsay Award for the most outstanding player as voted by the players. His short speech encourag-ing aboriginal youth to become leaders in their communities was both original and heartfelt.

Canadians won all but two of the awards, again emphasizing the NHL’s dependence on this country as its prin-cipal source of players.

NHL, please think seriously about

bringing this event back to the CBC, who know how to do this in 30 minutes, respectfully and in an entertaining way.

On to immigration: Canada has a barely functioning control process to bring needed (and frequently not needed) temporary foreign labour to Canada. The federal Conservative gov-ernment has struggled to keep a sensi-ble handle on this strategy which is too often used by unscrupulous employers.

However, a man from Bristol, Eng-land has been kicked out of the country by Immigration Canada for reportedly helping his girlfriend � x up her apart-ment in Edmonton.

The man was in Edmonton on a tourist visa and was accused of work-ing illegally.

Immigration of� cials came across pictures of him � lling cracks in his girl-friend’s apartment and launched an in-vestigation. Despite Rolfe doing what amounted to be an unpaid favour, it is against immigration rules to perform any work in Canada with only a tour-ist visa.

Rolfe is unable to return to Canada for 28 months. I suggest Immigration Canada is being unreasonably bureau-cratic.

Cultural lessons from Rupert

Did you hear? In Prince Rupert students up to grade 4 will have to learn the Tsimshian language of Sm’algyax.

Now to read the Internet comments on this — and Internet commentators are typically, erm, questionable at times — you � nd a lot of people are seemingly perplexed by this “useless” study, which will prove no use to the students as they grow up.

It’s a short-sighted approach to think of such things as useless though, and I � nd it’s a great idea to make the course part of the curriculum in their community.

The trick is not to look at it just as a language course — and remember, it only goes to grade 4 so it’s clearly not designed as a “Sm’algyax Immer-sion” course.

The real bene� t of the course is a cultural one. Learning this language is more akin to students’ so-cial studies program rather than a language course. It’s a cultural bridging for the youth.

Such an approach would, or should, be well re-ceived in Kitimat, where I understand the Haisla language as well is diminishing in use or common knowledge.

Thinking along these lines I asked the Coast Mountains School District if they have any sort of similar program to introduce First Nations languag-es in to the school system.

Not yet, is essentially the answer from Superin-tendent Katherine McIntosh.

But even if they don’t have a program in place right now they do have plans for some future time, she said.

I didn’t ask speci� cally about Haisla, just if the school district overall had a similar program that Prince Rupert has, so I can’t say how the CMSD plans to roll out their eventual program.

It is encouraging though that they have ambi-tions for such a thing.

Perhaps a few years down the line when my kid is at that age he’ll be able to learn a few things, and maybe even bring those lessons in to our house for the parents to pick up.

As I say, it’s a cultural awareness thing, an in-clusion of local culture in to our students’ curricu-lum.

Formal language programs — that is to actu-ally learn to write and speak — are probably best to remain the of� cial languages of Canada as far as what public schools need to be teaching, but giving students a foundation in a piece of local, Aborigi-nal culture is paving the way for having more well-rounded students.

Students who are even more aware of the area they live and the history behind it.

I look forward to seeing that happen.Cameron Orr

UnderMiscellaneous

Cameron OrrIt’s sure a different world for teachers

than when Pam Vollrath first began mold-ing Kitimat’s young minds 35 years ago.

A transplant from the England, Vollrath came to Kitimat at the start of the 1980s, providing substitute teaching services, in the midst of other community building ac-tivities, namely theatre.

In fact the recent performance by Nechako Elementary’s young performers of the Jungle Book would be Vollrath’s last major production, a fundraiser for new stage curtains for the elementary school.

Even so, she might find ways to be in-volved, but 2015 marks the year she shifts in to retirement mode.

Her teaching career really began in 1980 when she got a call by the principal at Alexander Elementary — now the Kitimat Valley Institute.

“That was it. I didn’t have to have an interview,” she laughs. She notes she had been subbing for awhile and was well known in the schools, it’s not a reflection of any lax background checks of the time.

That same year she was in the original committee which formed the On Cue Play-ers, a re-birth of an earlier group called the Kitimat Players, and which still perform today.

“Music and drama has always been part of my life, I suppose,” she said.

The year 1980 was also the year Mount Elizabeth Theatre was constructed and opened.

In 2002 Alexander School was closed.

“I was there for 22 years before they closed it,” she said, saying she was moved over to Roy Wilcox after. She spent nine years there before that school was closed too, and she wraps up her final four years of her career at Nechako.

“One of the things is there’s never a dull moment. I think there aren’t very many jobs that you can say aren’t boring,” she said as she reflects on the highlights of teaching.

Every student in her class is unique, she said, and it’s always a rush to re-ori-entate herself to the new batch every year.

“At the beginning of every year I think ‘I’ll never remember [their names] this year.’ You do, eventually.”

She said she feels blessed to have had a job she loved for 25 years.

“That’s kind of unusual nowadays,” she said, referring to trends that young people tend to change careers several times in their lives.

There’s differences in her profession now to when she started, she notes. For in-stance there is a higher incidence of autism or ADHD, and there is a lengthy timeframe for children to get identified and receive supports, she said, which provides chal-lenges to the teacher.

More kids today may be from single-parent homes as well, she said.

It’s not even the multitude of roles a teacher holds she finds is the only differ-ence. Bureaucracy as well, even just in the number of permission slips needed to sign today for events like field trips is exponen-

tially more than it used to be.All that is just how it’s changed though,

it’s still a job she has enjoyed doing.“I still love teaching, I always will,”

she said. “There’s nothing better than see-ing a child’s face that lights up when they suddenly catch on to something.”

That feeling of happiness translates to the stage too. She’s worked hard on shows and helped nurture the kids to develop their confidence on stage. When the Jungle Book opened to the audience she could see the kids feeding off the energy of the live show.

She said she nearly cried with happi-ness seeing the efforts of the children pay-ing off in the show, the product of every-thing coming together.

With over three decades of teaching and theatre productions Vollrath can cer-tainly claim to have honed a cast of hun-dreds playing their roles out there on the world stage.

Now with the school year at a close, it’s also Vollrath’s own curtain call.

We’ll all just have to hold our breaths to see if there are any encores.

Pam Vollrath sits in her classroom. After 35 years of teaching in Kitimat she’s retiring from the job. She’s also been a notable member of the local drama scene, and a founder of the On Cue Players.

Vollrath reflects on her decades of teaching

Q: When is an FID (Final Investment Decision) not an FID?

A: When it has conditions attached.

As in Petronas' announcement last month that it would go ahead with its planned LNG plant in Prince Rupert subject to two conditions.

With an unspoken third one.

Okay, I will be accused of splitting hairs here but my point is that FID has always meant the ab-solute green light for any project and what Petronas served up was not that.

Cast your mind back to the Kitimat aluminum smelter modernization project where right from the first announcement by Alcan - later to be-come Rio Tinto Alcan - there were three con-ditions that had to be met before the board

would even be asked to approve the project.

That really is where Petronas' Pacif-ic Northwest LNG sits as of today.

Having got that off my chest, there is no question this is en-couraging news.

The first condi-tion is that the BC legislature approve the project development agreement that lays out the provincial roy-alty rates Petronas and partners will face over the long-term.

With the Liberals' comfortable majority that's a foregone con-clusion requiring only

that the legislature be recalled to take the necessary vote -which should happen very quickly.

Number two is that the federal envi-ronmental assessment results in a recommen-dation that the Conser-vative government ap-prove the project.

That’s likely to be a bit trickier - wit-ness the June 2 request by the environmental agency that Pacific Northwest provide still more information con-cerning the project’s potential impact on fish and fish habitat.

I am sure the two

Nothing finalized about LNG’s FID in Rupertparties will get there eventually, but the time that will take is

probably longer than the optimists are say-ing.

Government ap-proval will almost cer-tainly not come until

after October’s federal election.

Cameron OrrAltaGas, the com-

pany leading a consor-tium under the banner of Douglas Channel LNG, is looking to-wards having a � nal in-vestment decision for their Kitimat project later this year.

It’s a small-scale project, especially compared to, say, Shell-led LNG Canada, but depending on how everything lines up in their schedule they may have one notable bene� t: they’ll be � rst.

Even so, there’s still questions to be an-swered even in a small-scale project.

For Kitimat Mayor Phil Germuth, a big question for this project is worker accommoda-tion during operations, who is concerned that there is living spaces on the DCLNG’s � oat-ing facility for employ-ees.

“The true mea-sure of a real, healthy community is not how many jobs you have it’s how many fami-lies you have, and of course being this close to the community there’s really no rea-son for a � y-in/� y-out workforce, because [those] workforces don’t sustain commu-nities,” he said.

That’s the only pri-mary concern the town has about the project, which will store liq-ue� ed natural gas on a � oating vessel, and will ship out on tankers approximately eight times a year.

In fact the project goes further and may reduce natural gas rates for residential custom-ers. Until this project gets online, which uses the PNG pipe system, there is a lot of unused capacity in PNG’s line, which rates payers are picking up the slack on. If capacity is taken up with this project rates for delivery will go down, it’s expected.

AltaGas’ Vice President of Energy Exports Dan Woznow (shown above) says the project is pegged at about $600 million, and construction-wise

RAISE YOUR HAND FOR CANADACanada’s abundant oil and natural gas keeps us moving.

We are fortunate to have energy the world needs. But we have a

challenge in getting it there. Working together to fi nd ways

to get our products to new markets will create jobs and

government revenue to pay for healthcare, education

and infrastructure for our future.

Think energy developed the Canadian way is good for Canada?

Then now is the time to say so by raising your hand at

raiseyourhandcanada.caNot actors. Real Canadians.

AltaGas looks to 2015 LNG decision

Dan Woznow AltaGas’ Vice President

of Energy Exports

will employ between 80 to 125 people in the area. That is, in addi-tion to the people who will construct the proj-ect’s � oating facility overseas.

“It’s going to be constructed overseas but there is on the ground construction for roads, berthing and mooring structures.”

During the opera-tions phase of the proj-ect Woznow said there will be between 50 and 70 people.

On the concerns of Kitimat council he said they will look closely at onboard accomoda-tions but said there will likely be some limited spaces onboard for per-sons working on things

like maintenance.The workers they’ll

need on the ground to construct the facility will run from general labour to skilled, such as welders for the steel berthing structures and for the person to build an extra eight kilome-tres of pipe from the PNG line to reach the facility.

While it may seem strange that such a small-scale project would � nd a place in a � eld � lled with mega-projects, Woznow says that the project makes sense for the others in consortium speci� cally for its small size.

He said it can build and diversify compa-nies’ portfolios but its

small size reduces the risk to those business portfolios.

The partners in the consortium are Alta-Gas, Idemitsu Kosan, EDFT Trading, and EXMAR.

In production Douglas Channel LNG would produce 7.5 mil-lion metric tonnes a year of product.

Continued from page 5Which takes us to

the unspoken condition which is the trickiest of all: First Nations en-dorsement of the proj-ect.

Back in May the Prince Rupert area Lax Kw'alaams were of-fered a benefits pack-age that would have seen them receive $1.5 billion over 40 years.

The members unanimously reject-ed the offer, not on the grounds it wasn't enough cash but be-cause they are con-vinced that locating the plant, as currently configured, on Lelu Island will harm the immediately offshore Flora Bank which they describe as important salmon habitat for Skeena River runs.

That despite the fact that Pacific North-west LNG had already made changes to its proposed off-load in-frastructure which they obviously thought would ease Lax Kw'alaams concerns.

I get the feeling that the only thing that will do that is a major rejigging of the plan which will of necessity mean more studies and potentially more ex-pense - and certainly more time before a real FID.

But at least this is the first sign of a glim-mer of light at the end of what has been a very long tunnel.

So what about the Kitimat projects?

As I have said be-fore, I am convinced the Altagas-led Doug-las Channel project will be green-lighted before year's end.

And I don't think what's happening with the Rupert project will change anything as

FIDfar as Chevron-Wood-side's Kitimat LNG and Shell's LNG Cana-da are concerned.

They have their carefully planned

schedule and to me there is nothing in the Petronas announce-ment that will spook them into changing those plans.

As you read this I am trolling Stuart Lake in an effort to win the big prize in the Fort St James fish derby.

As it says on one of

my T-shirts, a fishing line has a hook on one end and an optimist on the other.

Happy Canada Day everybody.

Bears released

Two orphaned grizzly cubs rescued late last fall near Kiti-mat have been released back into the wild.

After spending the winter at Smithers’ Northern Lights Wild-life shelter in a pen with three other grizzly cubs from other parts of the province, and gain-ing a couple of hundred pounds, the two healthy cubs were loaded into traps at the shelter and transported west of Ter-race June 17.

Conservation of� -cers Ryan Gordon, Sgt. Tracy Walbauer and Provincial Wildlife Vet Helen Schwantje from Victoria along with Northern Lights staff prepared the cubs for their release far from people.

The cubs were drugged, blood and hair samples were collected and a health assessment was completed.

Both bears were � tted with radio collars, to track their move-ments for up to two years.

Last November, conservation of� cers were called out to a dead grizzly sow near Kitimat and successful-ly trapped her two cubs, a male and female, who were last year’s cubs.

There was no in-dication that they had been eating garbage so they met the criteria to go to Northern Lights where staff fed and cared for them while keeping them wild.

It wasn’t clear how the grizzly sow had died as an initial � eld post-mortem didn’t de-termine anything de� -nite.
