Two community groups, who work to improve the quality of life on the North Coast, split over $30,000 after a donation from the Prince Rupert Harley Riders. The North Coast Health Improvement Society (NCHIS) and the Kaien Anti-Poverty Society (KAPS) each received a cheque for $15,787, funds raised through the sale of tickets for a chance to win a 2015 Harley Davidson. Pictured, from left, are NCHIS president Rick McChesney, Faye Adams, Chris Procter, Tracey Gardiner and Chris Rose of the Prince Rupert Harley Riders, Christine Komadina of NCHIS, Colleen Hermanson of KAPS, Lisa Thomas of NCHIS and Brenda Laidley of KAPS.

Twelve laid off at NSCU head office

BY SHAUN THOMASPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Northern Savings Credit Union has laid off 12 people at its head office in Prince Rupert, ranging from senior management to non-management personnel in every department, as part of a restructuring to ensure the institution is sustainable going forward.

Northern Savings interim president and CEO Barry Delaney said the layoffs come following a review of business operations that included some downsizing in the company’s portfolio.

Business leaders welcome Trans-Pacific agreement

BY KEVIN CAMPBELLPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Many political pundits have already weighed in on how the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) signed by the Canadian federal government earlier this fall will affect different sectors of the Canadian economy.

The Pacific Rim trade deal between Canada and 11 other countries has different ramifications for farmers, who are being compensated $4.3 billion over 15 years for any lost income, than it does for the raw minerals industry than it does for the auto sector or the lumber industry.

Here in Prince Rupert, the TPP brings exciting prospects to many businesses and residents who call the North Coast home. With tariffs on Canadian exports to Japan, the world’s third-largest economy, coming down in the coming years, as well as decreased tariffs in countries ranging from Chile to Malaysia to Vietnam to Singapore, the Port of

Prince Rupert, which already ships and receives millions of tonnes of cargo per year, consisting of agri-food, biofuel, metallurgical coal, wheat, canola, logs, containers and more, may potentially see a drastic rise in traffic volumes as Canadian exporters take advantage of the trade deal.

“The Trans-Pacific Partnership enables improved market access for trading between countries. The Port of Prince Rupert is supportive of all efforts that grow Canada’s participation in two-way trade. 3,000 jobs in northern B.C. depend on trade through our gateway - a number that’s

doubled in just five years,” said Prince Rupert Port Authority manager of corporate communications Michael Gurney.

“Importantly, the TPP participants are countries within the Asia-Pacific region which are key origins and destinations of Prince Rupert cargo traffic. Growth in the Port of Prince Rupert’s trade volumes — positively affected by the TPP’s effects on market reach and streamlined customs clearance procedures — will increase jobs, business opportunities in northern B.C.’s supply chains, and the tax base for all levels of government.”

The Prince Rupert and District Chamber of Commerce and the B.C. Chamber of Commerce also support the deal.

“[The two Chambers] applaud the Oct. 5 announcement that Canada has successfully concluded negotiations to the Trans-Pacific Partnership,” said chamber president Rosa Miller.

“We owned a technology company whose employees were living on Vancouver Island and elsewhere and a technology company is not something the credit union has the skills or experience to run. It’s a very competitive industry, very challenging, and yet we had about 30 or more people in that business. It was a financial drag to the credit union and a distraction to the management team, so the decision was made to sell that ... We also made another decision in another area of our business to reduce our mortgage portfolio we own in Victoria,” explained Delaney.

“As a result of reducing the size of our business, there is a commensurate need to reduce the staffing levels at the head office. From a business point of view, we couldn’t sustain that number of people without the corresponding revenue to support it ... It was really clear we had to do something for the long-term sustainability of the credit union.”

Calling the layoffs “very significant”, Delaney noted the board and management struggled with the

decision to layoff “good people who did nothing wrong”. However, he said management is working with the affected employees to minimize the financial hit. Delaney also said he doesn’t foresee other staffing reductions following this round of layoffs.

“The staff have been asking if we are done and if there is more to come. I have been able to say that this is it. It’s a substantial part of our head office and there is nothing more to come,” he said, noting there is now 32 employees that form the head office.

“We no longer have a technology company to distract us, we no longer have these mortgages outside of the north and what we have done is return to a traditional credit union that is all about community and great service. We now have a financial picture that is sustainable for decades to come, but we had to go through this difficult time.”

“The TPP agreement is good for B.C. and, in turn, good for our community as we continue to move towards becoming a brighter star and a key piece in the provincial and Canadian economy. We agree with [B.C. Chamber president and CEO] Jon Garson, when he says that negotiations are a give-and-take. While Canada had to move on key interests such as managed dairy and poultry products, the net benefit from gaining market access for goods while removing restrictions on services, investments, financial services, etc... is too good to pass up,” Miller continued.

The Government of Canada’s Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada website cites the TPP deal as the “most comprehensive trade agreement in the world” that “will help deepen Canada’s trade ties in the dynamic and fast-growing Asia-Pacific region while strengthening our existing economic partnerships with our partners in the NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) and across the Americas”.

The deal has yet to be ratified by the new Liberal Government of Canada, but the party said before the Oct. 19 federal election that it would “hold a full and open public debate” in Parliament about the agreement.

“The Trans-Pacific Partnership stands to remove trade barriers, widely expand free trade for Canada, and increase opportunities for our middle class and those working hard to join it. Liberals will take a responsible approach to thoroughly examining the Trans-Pacific Partnership,” read a statement.

The District of Port Edward council has lent its support to TransCanada’s Prince Rupert Gas Transmission project (PRGT), becoming the second northwest municipal government in a month to do so.

In a letter sent to project president Dean Patry, Mayor Dave MacDonald said the district is in favour of seeing the pipeline that would feed the Pacific NorthWest LNG terminal come to fruition.

“The District of Port Edward council supports our business community together as we move forward as the host location for the Pacific NorthWest LNG liquefaction facility. TransCanada’s Prince Rupert Gas Transmission Project plays an important role in the development of this project,” reads the letter.

“We believe that PRGT has demonstrated commitment to meaningful engagement with the District of Port Edward and the surrounding area through project updates to council on a regular basis and invitations to community members to attend open houses to learn more about the project and its benefits and provide input to our project team.”

The District of Port Edward joins the City of Terrace, which passed a motion to write a letter of support in late September, in expressing its support for both the pipeline and the terminal on Lelu Island.

PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The third major project has been revealed and already started under Prince Rupert mayor and council’s ‘Re:Build Rupert’ initiative, targeting the city’s $259 million infrastructure deficit.

This time, it’s the Third Avenue sidewalks in the downtown core that will be receiving a facelift over the next five years, following the Fraser Street revitalization plan from earlier this summer and the water lines and dam upgrades.

As outlined in a release sent by the city last week, the engineering department has awarded the contract for the project to Rupert Wood’n Steel and it will see the sidewalks from McBride Street to Eighth Avenue rehabilitated.

Mayor Lee Brain said that not only are the upgrades aesthetic in nature and will beautify the downtown district, but they will lead to greater, more functional repairs made on Third Avenue roads.

“We’re just trying to figure out the timing of when the road of Third Avenue will get taken care of, but we’re also planning on doing the road as well,” he said.

“[That area has the] most traffic, but also the strata underneath the road needs to be replaced right now. You

see the manholes sinking and all these types of things – you can’t just [quickly] fix that. You’d need to actually dig up the whole road. Plus, we have pipes and electrical lines that need to be replaced. We’re also trying to revitalize the downtown core so that we can get businesses more viable on Third [Ave.], get shops reopening and that type of thing.”

A public engagement process will be initiated in the near future, consulting residents and businesses on how they would like Third Avenue to look in the coming years.

The sidewalk renewal is jointly funded out of the city’s operating budget and the Prince Rupert Legacy Fund.

The red brick-layered crosswalks on

Third Avenue are also on the chopping block, as some of the derelict and decrepit road-walks that have missing bricks or bumpy surfaces are scheduled to be overhauled into a much smoother surface.

“We’re going to get rid of the red bricks ... If you have strollers, it’s bumpy, people are tripping and we’ve had seniors say they’ve had issues with accessibility and wheelchair accessibility, so we’re going to smooth out those crosswalks much more nicely [in the five-year sidewalk rehabilitation plan],” Mayor Brain added.

The red brick crosswalks will be removed in favour of a level, single-piece concrete slab sidewalk for ease of maintenance and community safety, the city stated.


Work to replace sidewalks on Third Avenue West began last week.

School enrolment increases slightly


Preliminary numbers have rolled in for School District 52 (SD52) 2015-16 enrolment.

By Sept. 30, SD52 director of human resources Kathy Gomez reported that 2,160 students have enrolled in the school system – an increase of 100 students from the fall of 2014.

Kindergarten enrolment also saw an increase of 13 students, with total kindergarten numbers reaching 161 students.

SD52 administration said that complete numbers for the year won’t be known until late October due to students switching schools or districts in the months of September and October.

Superintendent Sandra Jones released some 2014 figures at the most recent school board meeting on Oct. 13 and they showed average class sizes in the district consistently fell below the provincial average.

Last year, in kindergarten, the district average was 18.3 students, while the provincial average was 19.5. For Grades 1-3, the district average was 19.9, compared to the provincial 21.5 figure. For Grades 4-7, the district average was 21.6 and the provincial average was 25.6. For Grades 8-12, the district average was 20.1 and the provincial average was 23.2.

There was a large freighter docked at Northland Cruise Terminal for several days last week as crews worked to repair the Amarantha.

“It is an internal repair. There is an issue with the potable water

system, so the drinking water tank needs to be cleaned, and a bulkhead needs repairs. It is all internal repairs, so people won’t see the work being done but may see people moving around Northland Terminal,” explained Prince Rupert Port Authority manager of corporate communications Michael Gurney, who noted the holds of the

ship are empty. “The issue came to light a few

days ago. Crew on the vessel notified the ship agent who then contacted the Prince Rupert Port Authority.”

The Amarantha was escorted by tug to Northland Cruise Terminal on Wednesday morning and repairs to the ship were completed over the weekend.

The Amarantha was docked at Northland Terminal after being escorted into the harbour by tug. The ship had repairs done to its potable water system and one of its bulkheads.

North Coast people at the ... Heart of our City


The power of social media is profound.Christine Danroth found that out this past year when

the Rupertite posted an Instagram photo to the picture-sharing website, as well as Facebook, of a freshly-painted white crosswalk in Prince Rupert.

In the picture, Christine pondered if the city might one day have a rainbow crosswalk, joining other such areas as Vancouver and Masset.

“When I made that post, it just really blew up on social media and it had a lot of really positive responses. I kind of put it out there as a challenge, like maybe this can happen in Prince Rupert,” she said last week.

While the crosswalk is one of Christine’s latest projects, she’s been involved in the North Coast community almost all her life.

Christine was born in the Kootenays and moved to Prince Rupert at age 5. With her father working at the pulp mill and her mother working at an area dentist office, the Rupertite quickly got used to life in the smaller city.

“I loved growing up here. I walked to school everyday. I grew up on Ambrose Avenue and I have lots of memories of playing outside, having fun, being in a small community and biking around Rushbrook Floats and MacMillan shipyards. I had a great childhood,” she said.

Christine attended Conrad Elementary, Booth Memorial High School and then Prince Rupert Secondary School. During that time, she spotted babysitting duty for a number of families and kids around town and grew quite a keen interest in early childhood education, working with younger kids.

So much so, that the Rupertite decided to make an early career out of it.

“I just really liked working with children and I liked working with kids at the pre-school age. Over time, I realized that I liked working with all age groups. From [infancy on],” she said.

Christine attended Northwest Community College, travelling between Terrace and Prince Rupert, studying early childhood education. Staying in that field for eight years, Christine operated Discovery Daycare, a daycare facility across the street from Charles Hays Secondary.

“Then I decided to go into teaching,” she said.“I did a bit of distant education at the college and then

I transferred over into Simon Fraser University and I did a lot of it through distance [education]. I stayed in Prince Rupert and did as much of it as I could here and I did a couple terms down in Burnaby.”

Now working at Learning Services with School District 52, Christine is a district helping teacher, working in special education and helping a variety of diverse students. She’s also an English-language dialect coordinator and works

with Aboriginal students as well.“I kind of have two jobs, but they blend together,”

Christine added.The Rupertite’s interests expanded into working with

disabled students as well as kids aged all the way up to 18, adding Charles Hays Secondary School in her fold.

“I was really interested in the spectrum of children with disabilities and just wanting to know more about that really intrigued me, so I had a friend suggest I go into teaching,” she said.

Very quickly, Christine started to thrive with children of all ages and learning styles.

“Definitely working with kids in early childhood was more my comfort zone, but then as I got more exposure with the elementary and high schools, I realized that the same strategies I used with the younger children also work when you’re working with older children, but you have to adapt what you’re doing. My confidence improved,” Christine said.

Always striving to be the best role model she can be for the students she works with, Christine took that goal to heart in putting forth the notion of a rainbow crosswalk, with the support of the Gay-Straight Alliance, an “inspiring group of students” at Charles Hays.

Being gay herself and raising her son as a single mom, Christine’ family doesn’t fit the ‘traditional’ family mould of yesteryear, but she’s paving the way for progress in an already progressive and open-minded town in Rupert.

“[The crosswalk] would be a great gesture for the students that I work with. I think it would be great for people coming to Prince Rupert to see that we’re a very open-minded community and [after the response on social media] we just took off with it,” she said.

“I didn’t expect [so much] reaction so quickly [to the idea], but it was definitely very heartwarming. I’ve made a decision to stay in Prince Rupert and raise my son [Parker] here and I’m very proud to be from Prince Rupert and it was just a great, feel-good moment.”

Though faced with some opposition from the community about the crosswalk, set to be implemented in the spring of 2016, Christine said it’s typical for any issue that’s potentially divisive.

“There was a little bit of negativity, but I’m choosing not even to address the negativity because we are a diverse community and that’s what this is about. I want to be a really good role model for the students I’m working

with and I want people to feel good about who they are. Everyone should feel that,” she said.

Christine thanks her friend, Russel Adams, for helping her with the rainbow idea and her friends, family and students she works with for her success in her career – some of whom even approach her years later with tales of how their life is going after being taught by her.

“Depending on the age, some of them remember me and they’re always up to something interesting. It’s nice to hear how their journey’s been and some of the things they’ve had to overcome, or some of the things they’ve achieved,” she said.

Tucked inside this week’s issue of the Northern Connector, you will find a publication entitled Progress 2015.

This publication, in a nutshell, examines a number of projects that are either underway or proposed for Prince Rupert and Port Edward as 2015 comes to a close and the calendar turns over to 2016. From LNG export terminals to port expansion to new

subdivisions and new condo developments, all the information you need can be found in Progress 2015.

When you put all of these proposals together, it paints a picture of a very active year on the North Coast, all in preparation for what could be an economic boom unlike any seen before.

What is sitting on the table in the region now is billions of dollars in industrial development partnered with hundreds of millions of dollars in associated residential development. And when one takes into account the number of workers that will be needed to take these projects from shovel- ready to completely finished, it boggles the mind.

We’re talking about thousands upon thousands of men and women who will be coming to the community and injecting more money into local businesses.

Speaking of money, while some may dismiss the impact of some of these proposals since shovels have yet to hit the ground, you can bet there has already been thousands of dollars spent in the region on engineering, surveying, technical studies and, in some cases, land clearing. Workers are already arriving and companies are already setting up shop in Prince Rupert, as evidenced by the massive growth in membership of the Prince Rupert and District Chamber of Commerce.

With work underway on the expansion of Fairview Terminal, the Road, Rail and Utility Corridor complete and word of a final investment decision just around the corner, it will be exciting to see what Progress 2016 looks like.

Tracking the progess in 2015

The scandal of the week at the B.C. legislature is what could be termed “delete-gate.”

Primarily, it revolves around 36 pages of government emails that the NDP opposition has been trying for a year to get under freedom of information legislation. They relate to a series of meetings between transportation ministry bureaucrats and remote communities along Highway 16, between Prince George and Prince Rupert.

If you want all of the accusations about government secrecy and alleged cover-ups, I invite you to read Access Denied, the latest report of the Information and Privacy Commissioner at www.oipc.bc.ca, and transcripts of question period in the legislature this week. What you won’t find there is much discussion of the actual problem, which is a shortage of safe and practical transportation options in and out of these communities, most of which are federally funded aboriginal reserves far from the region’s only highway.

What we have seen for decades is a dramatic media narrative about one or more serial killers preying on vulnerable women hitch-hiking along what is now known world-wide as the Highway of Tears. The Wikipedia entry for Highway of Tears gives a sense of the credibility of this narrative. It begins with the unsolved murder of Gloria Moody, last seen leaving a bar in Williams Lake in 1969. That’s a long way from Highway 16.

Then there was Monica Jack, killed in 1978. DNA technology resulted in a charge finally being laid last year against a known serial rapist. This was even further away, near Merritt,

and she was a 12-year-old riding her bike.Discussion in Victoria focuses on urban notions of

increased transit, in places where existing service may be under-used. Nationally, the narrative is that deep-seated social problems within aboriginal communities would somehow be solved by a lawyer-heavy judicial inquiry that looks only at tragedies involving women.

Here’s something else you won’t often hear in the Highway of Tears melodrama: There is commercial bus service on Highway 16, although Greyhound reduced

frequency in 2013 as it struggles with low ridership and high costs. BC Transit also operates bus service to some remote communities like Kispiox and Gitsegukla, connecting them to Smithers. But BC Transit requires local governments and riders to cover about half the cost. Indian Act reserves don’t pay.

North Coast MLA Jennifer Rice has noted that what people in remote communities ask for is a way to get back and forth for shopping and medical appointments.

Northern Health already runs a bus service for remote residents who need medical care.

Rice’s observations at least move us toward practical solutions, although most of her effort seems directed towards political blame.

I hope the infamous 36 pages of emails are eventually released, since they were not deleted but rather excluded from release. They may bring the discussion back to the actual public service issue, which is what realistic transportation options exist for these communities.

Letters to the editorLetters to the editor

Beetles spur lumber trade to branch outThe nature of Brit-

ish Columbia’s forestry sector has

undergone a notable shiftin recent years, thanks in large part to the industry’s ability to innovate and adapt to changed circumstances.

The mountain pine beetle has devastated a significant portion of the province’s harvestable pine forests since it was recognized over a decade ago as the most severe bark beetle infestation in North American his-tory. Since 2001, the epidemic has killed an estimated 718 million cubic metres of commercially valuable timber, more than half of all such pinein BC. While the rate of damage is slowing, it is expected that the great-est social and economic impacts of the epidemic still lie ahead.

An important factor in the survival of the industry has been the tech-nological innovation introduced to BC’s roughly two dozen sawmills over the last 20 years. Using the latest in computer scanning technolo-gy, mills—owned and operated by Canadian forest companies like West Fraser Timber Co.—rely on the digital screening of each log to max-imize the value that can be derived from it. In fact, at mills like West Fraser’s Pacific Inland Resources in Smithers, manual decision-making has been reduced. In a fraction of a second, scanners create a 3D image of a log from thousands of data points, determine its defects, how many boards can be cut from it and the ideal dimensions of those boards. The introduction of modern technology has helped the industry maximize the volume and value of damaged and dead pine trees.

The rise of Asian demand for BC softwood lumber products, partic-ularly in China, has also been important to the health of the industry in the last five years.

At a time when BC lumber exports to the United States dropped by nearly 60%, the building boom in China helped BC’s forest companies fill some of the void left by the US housing market collapse. From 2006 to 2011, Chinese imports of BC softwood lumber increased from a mere 140 million board feet to 3.1 billion, equal to more than 25% of BC production. With BC wood products gaining wider acceptance in China for use in construction, and with the country now paying globally com-petitive prices for lower grades of lumber, mills across the province havebeen able to reopen or add capacity.

And there’s no sign that China’s appetite for BC lumber is waning.Lumber exports to China in 2013 are on track to surpass 2012’s near record $1.08 billion. The Port of Prince Rupert possesses the capacity to move the increased trade in lumber to those new markets. So far this year, the number of loaded containers exported through Fairview Ter-minal is up over 23% from 2012, the majority of which are stuffed with BC lumber products.

Currently about 30% of West Fraser’s Canadian production is ex-ported to Asian markets like China, Japan and Korea through Canada’s west coast ports, a figure expected to continue growing into the next de-cade. This increasing trade through the Port of Prince Rupert—by West Fraser and other Canadian forest product companies—is providing new opportunities and success for communities throughout BC’s northern trade corridor.

R OO TRRRRRRRREE::PPOORTRTRTRTLet’s do LNG right in B.C.

Editor: Last week’s LNG in BC conference drew

hundreds of local and international delegates from around the world for the latest update on the B.C. LNG opportunity.

The far-fetched speculation of LNG development of two years ago has been tempered, largely by global energy market conditions, to something much more realistic. Some of the proponents have steadily moved their projects closer to final investment decision (FID), taking into account the multitude of variables necessary to get board approval to invest billions of dollars in B.C.

A key variable to a positive FID is the supply of skilled labour required to build the LNG plants and the natural gas pipelines which would feed them.

As the executive director of the BC Building Trades, representing 13 international unions who have 35,000 highly skilled tradespeople in their memberships, make no mistake that we are enthusiastic supporters of B.C.’s LNG projects. But I do have concerns regarding the demand side for British Columbian and Canadian skilled labour.

Apprenticeship training is key to the supply and demand for skilled labour. As most of the LNG activity will happen on First Nations land in northern B.C., we believe it is of paramount importance to provide First Nations communities, as well as others living in the affected areas, with access to apprenticeship training and employment opportunities. As one First Nations speaker at the conference said, “The best way to keep the door open is to provide the skills training, locally if that makes sense, that Aboriginal people need to be full and equal participants in the LNG opportunity”.

For we believe that northern British Columbians with Red Seal or journey-level status in the skilled trades should have the first opportunity for employment when construction starts. This belief is consistent with the third Term of Reference (TOR) Premier Christy Clark assigned to the LNG Working Group she appointed in 2013.

The TOR directed the working group to develop a propocol which would give employment priority to local workers, including those from First Nations communities, followed by provincial and national workers before the use of temporary foreign workers.

I appreciate the very real concern proponents have for an assured supply of skilled labour at

the right time in the construction of their project, however I am somewhat confounded by what I thought to be an underlying message from some of the proponents to delegates at the conference: They seem to want ready and available access to temporary foreign workers irrespective of the availability of skilled British Columbians and Canadians.

Perhaps, as a labour leader, I am overly sensitive to some of the messages, but leaving the conference I wondered whether the LNG opportunity had subtly changed for First Nations and British Columbia trades workers.

The Premier’s LNG Working Group continues to grapple with what a temporary foreign worker protocol would ultimately look like. From my perspective, we in that working group must leave no doubt in the minds of the proponents and the people of B.C., including First Nations followed by British Columbians, and then workers from other provinces, to have priority access to employment opportunities on LNG projects.

If we cannot establish that as the employment protocol, the LNG opportunity for First Nations members and British Columbia workers will wane.

British Columbians and First Nations have embraced the LNG opportunity, which offers a transformational opportunity for our province. But that opportunity will only be present when we know local workers and British Columbians have first access to the employment that will come from the investments. As the proponents and government negotiate project development agreements, we need to see language in those documents that will deliver jobs to British Columbians and Canadians before granting access to temporary foreign workers.

Labour, industry and government need to continue working together to ensure that we “get it right” and make sure that British Columbians are first in line. Anything short of that will only result in disappointment.

Tom Sigurdson, Executive director, BC Building Trades

Carpenters-in-training complete work at cannery

BY KEVIN CAMPBELL PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Last week, approximately a dozen new carpenters-in-training completed the biggest test of their new careers and the benefactors of their 10 months of hard work are the entire communities of Port Edward and Prince Rupert.

Last Thursday marked the very last day that workers under a job creation partnership between the North Pacific Cannery National Historic Site, the Province of B.C., the District of Port Edward, Parks Canada, the Port of Prince Rupert, Hecate Strait Employment Development Society and a bevy of area partners were able to help revitalize the cannery and gain skills in carpentry at the same time, in hopes in finding full-time work.

“It’s supported through the E.I. program, so these guys as a prerequisite, had to be unemployed and it’s basically a skills-building [program] for guys and girls interested in a new career,” said

cannery manager of special projects, Steve Milum last Tuesday at a celebratory lunch.

“We basically started with some smaller projects and worked our way up to some really heavy timber work.”

Among the areas of the cannery that the workers were able to revitalize, with help of the journeymen carpenters that gave them guidance, were eight posts and beams being replaced in the Main Cannery Building, a new emergency exit rebuild for the Bunkhouse, residential boardwalks, stairs, porches and siding repairs, rebuilt reduction tank holding platforms and, most immediately and visually impressive, 8,000 sq. ft of the working dock restored.

“The dock in particular is going to be amazing for community events, so it’s nice to know all their work and training is going into something the whole community can benefit from,” said Milum.

Music festivals, weddings, barbecues and more are in the plans for the finished working dock, scheduled to be completed in 2016, which would help make the cannery more self-sustainable in collecting funds for its preservation.

Ninety per cent of the project crew in 2015, starting their work in January and ending last week, had apprentice enrolment through Industry Training Authority (ITA), ninety per cent were First Nations and all gained skills involving worksite safety, hand and power tools, carpentry, concrete, foundations, painting, residential, marine/industrial skills and heavy construction.

“We’ve got some huge accomplishments done, but with the site being so old, there’s a lot more to go. We’re in the process of applying for a similar program next spring and we’ll be looking for other partners in the region,” Milum said.

Apprentice student Todd Stevens was one such worker who helped restore the cannery and he said the skills he was able to gain through full-time, on-the-job training were invaluable.

“It’s really good. It’s great training. I’m in my first year of carpentry apprenticeship ... It’s a good national historic site. It brings in a lot of tourists – especially this past summer we had a lot of tourists come through,” said Stevens.

Milum and the Port Edward Historical Society board members are in the process of trying to get the cannery listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. The cannery is already designated a national historic site of Canada.

The scope of continued work in 2016 involves rebuilding the remaining 7,500 sq. ft of the working dock, working on the reduction plant structural foundation, post and beams and roof, a fish loading bay addition removal and restoration to pre-1930, a roof replacement on the European bunkhouse and triplex units and a white-wash of the net loft and machine shop.

Premier Christy Clark has ordered all cabinet ministers and their political staff to keep every email they send until new procedures are in place to decide what is necessary for the public record and freedom of information requests.

Clark issued the instruction Friday after B.C.’s Information and Privacy Commissioner condemned the widespread practice of “triple deleting” emails so they can’t be stored in daily computer backups.

Commissioner Elizabeth Denham said her investigation showed records were intentionally destroyed to avoid public release. One of those requests was for records related to meetings with leaders of remote communities on the risks of travelling along Highway 16 in northern B.C.

Clark said Friday she accepts Denham’s recommendations, but there

are different legal opinions on what is a “transitory document” that is required to be destroyed and a record that is required to be kept.

“We thought, I thought that everything was being done properly, and that’s because there has been really almost no change in the way things have been done for a decade,” Clark said.

NDP leader John Horgan said the investigation shows the conduct of B.C. Liberal government staffers, including Premier Christy Clark’s deputy chief of staff Michele Cadario, reveals “a culture of deception, a culture of deceit,

a culture of delete, delete, delete”.Clark said she is taking no action

against Cadario, who told Denham she deletes almost all of her sent emails every day. Clark now wants everything kept until former privacy commissioner and deputy attorney general David Loukidelis reviews the situation and decides what must stay and what must go.

Clark said she seldom uses email for official business, preferring face-to-face meetings, official records kept for cabinet and its committees, and phone calls.

Transportation Minister Todd Stone said Friday he has made a practice of triple deleting emails that he considers transitory.

A complaint from Tim Duncan, Stone’s former ministerial assistant, triggered Denham’s investigation of a freedom of information request regarding Highway 16 between Prince George and Prince Rupert.

Municipal election spending cappedBY JEFF NAGEL VICTORIA / Black Press

The Wild West days of unlimited spending in municipal election campaigns are about to end.

The provincial government has tabled legislation that will cap how much would-be mayors and councillors can spend on advertising and other costs in future election years, starting in 2018.

The permitted spending amounts vary by the size of each municipality according to a population-based formula.

It works out to $15,000 for mayoral candidates in cities of up to 15,000 people, rising to $89,250 for a population of 150,000, and reaching $149,250 for a city of 250,000.

An extra 15 cents per capita is added

after 250,000 for the biggest cities, meaning future mayors will be able to spend no more than $184,000 in Surrey and $205,000 in Vancouver.

Spending by councillors, regional district directors and school trustees would be capped at half the limit of mayors in their areas.

“I think they’ve got this right,” said Dermod Travis, executive director for Integrity B.C., adding the sliding scale reflects the different needs of small and large communities.

“It’s unfortunate the other half of the equation is not being tackled at the same time, which would be donations. But I think they’ve found a good middle for where those caps should be on expenses.”

It will make it harder for well-funded candidates to use advertising firepower to beat their opponents, he predicted.

“You’re going to see less money getting spent, which means candidates have to raise less money. Which means that they’re actually going to have to campaign more in terms of meeting voters rather than buying ads,” said Travis.

The recommendations were developed by a special legislative committee and have support of both the BC Liberals and NDP, as well as the Union of B.C. Municipalities.

Travis said the new spending caps would have forced many winning candidates to spend less than they did in the 2014 local government elections.

According to the committee report, 31 mayoral candidates and 69 council candidates across B.C. spent more last year than the proposed new limit will allow.

Drivers keep a sharp eye out for Trick or Treaters on Saturday

BY SHAUN THOMASPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Forget iPads, Wi-Fi and cell phones, when Olga Solberg was born there was no such thing as zippers, stainless steel, Band-Aids or RCMP.

None of those items had been invented on Oct. 21, 1915 and the national police force was still five years away. Obviously much has changed since then — the population has skyrocketed from 1.8 billion to more than 7 billion and not one but two World Wars have come an end — and Olga has lived through it all.

On Oct. 20, one day ahead of her centennial birthday, Olga Newton was joined by dozens upon dozens of family members at the Crest Hotel to celebrate this amazing milestone. With five generations in the room and following a limousine ride from Terrace to Prince Rupert earlier in the morning, the great, great grandmother was all smiles as she cut into her birthday cake.

“It just feels wonderful, amazing. I can’t imagine that they all would have come,” said Olga, who moved to the North Coast back in 1941.

Asked about what she attributes to reaching her 100th birthday, Olga lets out a little laugh before sharing her secret.

“It’s got to come down to good genes,” she said.

“It feels both amazing and surprising. I

didn’t think I was going to reach it, but it came one day at a time.”

With 100 years behind her and several loved ones surrounding her, Olga said she doesn’t necessarily have any big plans leading into her 101st birthday.

“I’m just going to take it a day at a time and keep happy and healthy,” she said.

Puck Drop: 7 p.m.

BY WILLIAM GYE PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The Prince Rupert Rampage were at home this past weekend, hosting the Terrace River Kings, and after a big home win last weekend, the team hoped to notch another one.

After a good start to the first period, the Rampage got into early penalty trouble. This would prove to be the trend for the night. Although they killed off the early penalties, the River Kings got on the board early thanks to Ken Norostrom. It was a quick shot off the half boards closest to the stands that squeaked through Jarrod Hildebrandt. After exchanging penalties, Prince Rupert got some life after a great shift by Brayden Horcoff taking the puck strong to the net, and an individual effort by Devin Palmer that saw him go through two defenders only to be stopped by River Kings’ goaltender Patrick Leal. Again, off-setting penalties, then another penalty to the Rampage, would see the River Kings go on the power-play. They were finally able to convert with the man advantage through a nifty shot, short side, by Danson LeBlond to make it 2-0.

Penalties hurt Prince Rupert as they started the second period short-handed. Able to kill the penalty, the Rampage found their legs again until a turn-over in the neutral zone saw Terrace go the other way, and Reid Turner redirected the puck past Hildebrandt. Although it was a good finish, Terrace was lucky to have the puck go to Turner, as the pass looked more like a shot to make it 3-0. The Rampage pushed back, with Tyler Halliday throwing his weight around, creating space for himself and he was able to get in all alone, but was stopped. Horcoff took another trip to the box, but thanks to the hard-nosed play and some big hits by Jean Luc Fournier, the Rampage stayed very much in the game.

Late in the second there was a bit of controversy as a quick whistle from the referee denied Rupert their first goal of the game, which could have turned the tide. Guilty of undisciplined play, Rupert took a bench minor after the play for arguing the call.

“We can’t stress over the refs and make up excuses, when stuff like that happens, you just got to fight through the game and put the puck in the net,” said forward Jordan Aubee.

The third period started on the penalty kill for the Rampage, but after a gutsy blocked shot, Tyler Munro and Patrick Robert found themselves in a two on one, but Munro rung it off the crossbar. Unlucky bounces and not enough puck movement through the neutral zone contributed to the lack of goals. Again unable to convert on a 5-on-3 in the third, Terrace iced the game with a rebound goal from Colton Braid. Patrick Robert had a couple chances late, but was unable to find the back of

the net. The final tally reached five goals for Terrace and zero for Rupert.

“There was no discipline tonight, everyone wanted to carry the puck themselves. Terrace played a pretty good game, they forechecked hard. We know that we have to show up to these kind of games, we can’t just take it for granted that we’re just going to show up and win,” said Jared Andreesen, who was behind the bench for the Rampage.

Aubee, however, definitely added some intensity to the game,with a fight in the second period.

“Anything we can do to get a little momentum when things aren’t going our way. I liked the intensity, and I didn’t think we had a terrible game, we were battling, and sometimes we didn’t get puck luck,” he said.

The Rampage face the River Kings again on Saturday in Terrace.

Rampage seek revenge

After a 5-0 loss to the Terrace River Kings last weekend, the Prince Rupert Rampage will be seeking some revenge when the two squads hook up for a Saturday night Halloween game down Highway 16, in Terrace this weekend.

The Rampage will try and instill more fright into their opponents than they did in last week’s game, where the Rampage couldn’t overcome a strong Terrace start and fell 5-0 to their rivals.

The rhinos have had some success against the River Kings in Terrace, as they defeated them 7-4 on Oct. 10, with forward Patrick Robert scoring a hat trick, Tom Robinson garnering three assists and Tyler Ostrom, Jean-Luc Fournier and Jordan Aubee all collecting two assists each.

Home date for Sr. Girls’ Volleyball

The Charles Hays Secondary School (CHSS) senior girls’ volleyball team will look to entertain their Rupert fans with a home play date scheduled for this Saturday.

Some of the teams that are expected to come and participate include Caledonia, Hazelton, with Bulkley Valley Christian School and Smithers Secondary possibly attending as well.

The Rainmakers are fresh off a Thanksgiving Hawaii tournament that saw them gain valuable experience versus international foes.

The tentative schedule will be released closer to the weekend through the school teams’ Twitter handle: @chssvolleyball.

Boys volleyball teams set to travel

While the CHSS senior girls’ volleyball team is in action at the CHSS gym this coming Saturday, the remaining senior boys and junior boys are both set to travel for Halloween play dates.

After a week off, the senior boys look to shake off any rust with a trip to Bulkley Valley Christian School. They’ll compete against competition such as Hazelton, Smithers and Caledonia.

The junior boys are heading to Smithers Secondary to improve on their road record and they’re up against the Smithers Gryphons, Bulkley Valley Christain School, Ebenezer Canadian Reformed School and Terrace’s Caledonia.

The Charles Hays’ junior girls are off for the weekend and will trick or treat accordingly with no bus legs in Rupert.

BY WILLIAM GYEPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

The Charles Hays junior girls’ volleyball team was in action this past weekend at home, hosting Skeena Senior Secondary and Caledonia Secondary.

The Rainmakers opened up the day with a win against Skeena Secondary (18-25, 25-18, 15-9), and fell short in their next test against Caledonia (16-25, 10-25), but put up a great team effort in beating Skeena again (19-25, 25-21, 15-9), in the last game of the day.

Coach Nancy Le was able to provide some insight into this year’s team.

“Half of the team will be moving to the senior girls’ team after this year and I could see them all with a chance to play in their starting line up next

year,” she said. A stand out from the junior girls’ team for coach Le

has been Jenna Nelson. “Her improvement, work ethic and positivity has

been really nice to work with,” Le said. Expectations for the year are to do well in zones, but

the team doesn’t yet know yet if they will be in the A or B bracket. With the best competition coming from Terrace, events like Saturday are crucial for the development of the girls and gives them a good idea of where their performance is at.

“Terrace has been a strong city for volleyball players, so I just wanted the girls to try their hardest and I’m really proud of them,” said coach Le. The girls will be off next weekend and look to hit the hard-court the weekend after in Terrace.

Charles Hays Secondary’s senior girls volleyball team was in action, earlier in October, at the Hawaii/Canada Thanksgiving Challenge.

Despite the heat and very high humidity, the girls played well against all four teams. Although they finished with a 1-7 win-loss record, the chance to play this calibre of volleyball throughout the tournament gave the girls a stiff reminder of the work needed to be put in to get to the next level.

“The games were fast paced and of a higher calibre than anything they’d seen within our zone this year,” said coach Jacqueline Jackson. As the tournament wore on, the Rainmakers became more comfortable with the pace of play and that was evident as the rallys

became longer and longer. In honour of Canadian Thanksgiving, the host team, McKinley, had a potluck dinner for the teams. The Rainmakers got to sit down with the Hawaiian players, chat and learn about each other’s cultures. Friendships were made and Instagram information was exchanged.

The trip didn’t only consist of volleyball related activities - the girls were able to take advantage of the culture, infrastructure, and the amazing scenery that Hawaii has to offer. Attending a University of Hawaii Rainbow Wahine Volleyball match, snorkeling in Hanauma Bay, hiking Diamond Head, attending

Germaine’s Luau, zip-lining on the North Shore and surfing in Waikiki were all experiences that can only happen while on the island. The hope is that these young ladies use this experience to spur them on to all of the opportunities available if they continue on the path of sport, in a post-secondary setting.

Coach Jackson elaborated on the trip and the people who made it happen.

“We wouldn’t have been able to do this amazing trip if it wasn’t for the support of our school administration and teachers – for their extra time organizing student work and supporting our many fundraising efforts. A BIG MAHALO (thank you) goes out to Second Avenue Medical Clinic, Prince Rupert Grain, Northern Savings Credit Union Insurance Ltd, Rupert Disposal, Dr. Nel, Farwest Sports, Safeway and

Dr. Pyde for their financial d o n a t i o n s towards our trip,” she said.

You can catch the senior girls’ volleyball team in action this weekend at home at Charles Hays Secondary School.

The Charles Hays rugby sevens team saw positive results in Burns Lake this past weekend.

BY WILLIAM GYE BURNS LAKE / The Northern View

The Charles Hays Secondary School Rainmakers rugby sevens squad played in Burns Lake this past Saturday.

In round-robin play, the Rainmakers beat Burns Lake 19-10, and continued that momentum, beating Terrace 26-14. The third game saw the ‘Makers lose a tight one to Smithers 15-5, earning them a spot in the semifinals.

Then, CHSS took on Burns Lake again. It was a tightly contested match, but the Rainmakers were able to squeeze out the win, 14-7.

The ‘Makers were pretty beat up and sore

at this point. Though their round robin match with Smithers was tight, the final proved to be much different. The Smithers Gryphons rolled to a lopsided result of 52-0.

Outstanding play was achieved by star wingers Cody Schaeffer and Ryley Main, with Titan McMaster and Chase Woelders providing stellar offence and defence up the middle. Jason Rioux notched two tries in his debut in Sevens for the Rainmakers.

Sevens is a game that relies on speed, endurance and skill; with an emphasis on the ability to maintain a high level running throughout the game. It is played on the same field dimensions as 15 person rugby and soccer matches.

Strong showing in Burns Lake Sports

Nisga’a citizens in Terrace, Prince Rupert and the Nass Valley are to benefit from a $2.1 million training program over the next three years.

The goal is to train 215 Nisga’a for jobs within the liquefied natural gas industry, but skills learned can also apply elsewhere said Gary Patsey of Nisga’a Employment Skills and Training (NEST), the Nisga’a Lisims Government agency which is to administer the program.

“This training targets those who require assistance with requisite skills enhancement before attaining industry or trades training and certifications. For these individuals, the training is foundational to further training in any other sector as well,” he said.

Already more than 50 people have applied for training to earn a driver’s licence, considered one of the key first steps toward employment.

“We forecast that as clients work their way up to trades or industry training and gainful or demand driven employment, their quality of life will improve, their family or personal income will improve and acquiring transportation will be a viable option to them,” said Patsey.

The money comes from a provincial

government skills training program and was announced in Terrace on Oct. 19. Patsey said child care support will be provided to participants who need it.

NEST anticipates an early November start-up by first hiring people to administer the program.

It will contract out for services it cannot directly provide.

Part of the training will also involve work experience at projects in Nisga’a communities.

“The participants will be provided opportunities to apply their newly-acquired skills, training and strategies in work that benefits the community while enhancing the experience and resume of the clients,” said Patsey.

Training planned so far includes first aid/CPR, road safety and dealing with hazardous materials. Nisga’a Lisims Government president Mitchell Stevens called the training program an important step toward economic development.

“The program adds to the capacity of our people to participate in the major developments that are coming soon to our region,” he said.

As it is, the Lisims government has signed a series of agreements with mining, pipeline and other companies providing business and employment opportunities on their projects.

Nisga’a receive $2.1 million for training

DeclarationTo the city of Prince Rupert and related parties:

With respect to the settlement agreement and subsequent events concerning the Watson Island equipment and land dispute matter, I hereby make the solemn declaration:

1. The settlement agreement Sophia Liu entered into on behalf of Sun Wave Forest Products Limited on 20 August 2013 with the city of Prince Rupert was without my legal authorization and is null and void with no legal effect.

2. The arbitration order made on 25 August 2015 based on the above invalid settlement agreement is also null and void.

3. On 3 May 2015 I arrived in Canada with utmost sincerity in the hope of properly handling the issues in question through face to face communications and negotiation with all parties concerned only to be denied entry into the country. Responsibility for obstacles and challenges in communication and in dealing with the related issues as a result thereof shall rest with Canada and not me.

4. I raise serious objection to any conducts engaged based on the above void settlement agreement and related documents that harm our interests and hereby reserve my rights to further pursue liability and prosecution through multiple channels including legal or media.

Stay Safe

For kids, few holidays are more anticipated than Halloween.

The chance to dress up in costume and patrol the neighborhood with friends while collecting treats is the highlight of many a child’s autumn.

For parents, anticipation is replaced by anxiety. While kids are out trick-or-treating, parents may be home or at work hoping their kids are safe and sound. Because Halloween is so popular among kids, it’s hard for parents to forbid trick-or-treating. But parents should instruct kids on the following tips to ensure this Halloween is as safe as it is fun.

• Strangers’ homes are off limits. Make sure kids know they should never enter the home of a stranger, no matter how friendly or welcoming that stranger may seem.

• There’s no going it alone. Kids should not be permitted to go out alone. When trick-or-treating, kids should always be accompanied not only by their friends, but there must be at least one adult chaperone present at all times. Parents should get together several weeks before Halloween to determine who will chaperone, where kids will trick-or-treat and when.

• Stay close to home. Kids should stay in their own neighborhood and only visit homes of neighbors they know. Advise kids to steer clear of homes whose doors are hidden from street view. Chaperones should accompany kids to the front door if visibility from the street is poor.

• Choose safe costumes. Kids should

wear costumes made of light-colored material. If a child insists on a favorite costume that uses largely dark material, attach reflective tape to the costume so your favorite reveler is easily visible to motorists at twilight and nighttime.

• No toy guns. Toy guns are just asking for trouble, as many of today’s replicas are easily confused with the real thing. Play it safe and choose costumes that aren’t accessorized with toy guns.

• Bring a flashlight along. Night falls quickly in late October, so kids and chaperones alike should carry a flashlight to improve their visibility and make them more visible to passing motorists.

• Stick to the sidewalks. Trick-or-treaters should stick to the sidewalks and always cross the street at corners. Don’t walk in the street, and never walk between parked cars when crossing the street, as it’s especially difficult for motorists to anticipate pedestrians walking or running from behind parked cars into the street.

• Be wary of masks. Many masks restrict a child’s vision, so look for one that provides sufficient visibility. If a child’s favorite mask is low on visibility, make children agree to remove their mask when crossing the street.

Stay safe this Saturday nightStay safe this Saturday night

A message from the Prince Rupert District Teachers’ Union

• Go out with a buddy, not alone.• Wear make-up, not masks.• Never carry firecrackers.• Use crosswalks and carry a flashlight.• Check your treats for tricks.

Spooky fun awaits at 2015 Halloween FestBY KEVIN CAMPBELLPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View

Though ghouls, ghosts and everything else in the eery and uncanny world have been around since the dawn of time, it will be 28 years this coming Saturday, that they’ll all come together in Prince Rupert for the 28th Annual Community Halloween Fest this Saturday, Oct. 31.

Taking over the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre again this year, the Halloween

Fest Society and its volunteers are organizing games, a costume parade, prize raffles, hot dogs, popcorn and drinks, a fireworks display (weather permitting) and of course, lots and lots of delicious treats.

“We have the monster mash dance contest and then there’s about 20 different activities and games that kids can play. At each of those events, all the kids will get a handful of candy for every event that they participate in,” said

Bev Killbery of the 2015 Halloween Fest Committee.

The festivities start at 6 p.m. and end at 8 p.m., while the fireworks display is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. just behind the civic centre.

“Rain is OK but wind is not our friend,” said Killbery, adding that the fireworks should be ready to go, barring any blustery conditions.

Among the games offerings at Halloween Fest are a haunted house,

eyeballs in goo, a doughnut dangle, a mummy wrap and pumpkin bowling.

For kids aged 1-8, a raffle prize of a bicycle and helmet can be won and for kids aged 9-18, a tablet is up for grabs. A 2016 Grizzly bear tour can be won for the adult raffle.

As well, anyone donating money or candy can receive a residence card they can put up in their door or window on Halloween, stating that their household contributed to sponsor Halloween Fest.

Killbery is also looking for anyone interested in helping out to contact the committee, especially if they’d like to help take down the stations.

“We always encourage people who want to volunteer to – they can call our GHOST line (250-62-GHOST or 250-624-4678). We have volunteers for set-up, but we always need volunteers for take-down ... and we could always use more volunteers to help operate the games for the young kids,” she said.

Other activities tying in with the ghastly weekend include a free Children’s Fun pool party on Friday, Oct. 30 from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. for kids aged 12 and under and a Teen Swim on Oct. 31 from 8 – 10 p.m. for those aged 13-18.

Halloween Fest is made possible by countless volunteers and community sponsors who have donated money, prizes, time and generosity to help kids from Prince Rupert, Port Edward and the outlying c o m m u n i t i e s have a safe, fun and accessible Halloween.

“It wouldn’t be possible without the continued support of our businesses and service clubs and local residents. I mean, without them, we wouldn’t have the ability to put this event on,” Killbery said.

For anyone looking to volunteer or sponsor the event, contact Killbery at [email protected] or 250-624-4678.

Hi I’m Mr. Cottontail

Prince Rupert continues to be situated firmly on the Lower Mainland’s radar as a place for science-based organizations to come and share their expertise.

Shortly after the Vancouver Aquarium’s AquaVan made a visit to Northwest Community College and the schools in Prince Rupert earlier in September, Genome British Columbia’s Geneskool made a few presentations to Prince Rupert Middle School (PRMS) students last Tuesday.

“What we do is we go to different middle schools and high schools and just talk to the students about some of the basic concepts like ... DNA and ... inheritable traits and using fun, hands-on activities,” said Sally Lin, one of Genome BC’s Geneskool scientist presenters and University of British Columbia’s (UBC) Let’s Talk Science program.

PRMS received six unique presentations from Lin and her Let’s Talk Science partner, each tailored to different age groups.

“[The presentations] switch between grades. They’re all age-appropriate and whatever’s most interesting to the age group,” Lin added.

Genome BC explores the world of genomics and genetics and manages a portfolio of 254 research projects and science and technology platforms. Genome BC works with governments,

universities, and industry in sectors like forestry, fisheries, agriculture, the environment, bioenergy, mining and human health. Their goal is to generate social and economic benefits for B.C. and Canada.

Its Geneskool program travels throughout B.C. with “nowhere too far or too small to visit”. Exhibits are very portable and are shipped across the province to help teachers enhance their current curriculum with hands-on items.

In one of the morning classes, Lin showed a PRMS class how to create different bees from pipe cleaners and each student created a different bee, showing the diversity of DNA reproduction.

“We’re showing them how mutations in the DNA process can make some crazy looking bees,” Lin said, adding

that an earlier Grade 8 class got to work with ‘alien babies’.

“We had a couple classes this morning and they went real fast, but the kids loved it. They were really into it and we also got them to make edible DNA. One of the classes finished early, so we gave them some marshmallows and licorice. They got to make models of the DNA,” she said.

“Molecular biology is an integral part of our natural world. The Genome BC Geneskool program offers students a chance to use advanced laboratory technology and techniques to see the tiny world that exists at the microbial level while learning, having fun and garnering a greater appreciation of the world around us,” said vice-president of communications and education at Genome BC, Sally Greenwood.
