A petition has gathered almost 200 signatures

 FLAVIO NIENOW

Colleymount residents have been ex-pressing their concerns over the condi-tions of Colleymount Road and gather-ing signatures for a petition to demand change.

Frank Lehmann and Rita Lavoie, both Colleymount residents, were re-cently at the Lakeview Mall in Burns Lake talking to  locals and gathering signatures for their petition. The peti-tion received almost 200 signatures over a period of two days.

“We heard many stories of concern and outrage [during those two days at Lakeview Mall],” said Lavoie.

The Colleymount Road extends from Francois Lake’s ferry landing to km 54 (west corner of Francois Lake). Safety issues include a major increase of com-mercial and non-commercial traffic; narrow, blind corners and sloughing on both road portions and embankments. There are also maintenance concerns relating to snow removal, sanding, grading and brushing.

“This is a very old road that never had a proper base,” explained Lavoie. “Almost 30 km of it has been seal coated, and even sections of that are sloughing, narrow and have potholes.”

“This road was not built for the length or width of today’s vehicles,” she added.

Lavoie said concerns about Colley-mount Road culminated in a communi-ty meeting of about 60 people in early

“Rio Tinto Alcan is the one to blame,” says Mike RobertsonFLAVIO NIENOW

In the story ‘Cheslatta looking to stop the floods’ published in the Lakes District News’ July 9, 2014, Mike Robertson, Senior Policy Advisor for Cheslatta Carrier Nation, said he was confident that a resolution regarding the annual flooding at the Cheslatta Lake water-way system would occur before the end of summer. It’s now been almost a year and the

situation still hasn’t been resolved.“We are definitely getting frustrated,” said

Robertson. “Something better happen soon.”The annual flooding of the Cheslatta sys-

tem is due to the annual summer temperature management spills that are necessary to main-tain a safe water temperature in the Nechako River for the migrating salmon.

The Kenny Dam was built in 1952 to cre-ate a water reservoir to supply downstream hydro-electric turbine to power the Rio Tinto Alcan aluminum smelters. More than 120,000 acres of land were flooded, creating the Nechako reservoir. Since the Kenny Dam was built and the Skins Lake spillway was con-structed to release water from the Nechako reservoir into the upper Nechako River, high

water flows and massive erosion have caused extensive flooding of the Cheslatta Lake wa-terway system.

The constant influx and retreat of water levels means that buried graves are occasion-ally exposed. During the original flooding of the lake and river system, coffins were seen floating on Cheslatta Lake and bones washed up along the shoreline. Since then, Cheslatta gravesites have frequently been disturbed by the regular flooding of the Cheslatta system.

Robertson said there are no human remains floating ashore this year. However, he said he won’t know the full extent of the damage until the water goes down.

Canadian political and religious institu-tions openly practiced cultural genocide against this country’s aboriginal peoples for much of the 19th and 20th centuries, according to the federal Truth and Recon-ciliation Commission (TRC).

The commission, which released its findings and recommendations June 2 af-ter six years of investigation into Canada’s residential school system, said that for more than 100 years, the central goals of Canada’s aboriginal policy were to elimi-nate aboriginal governments, ignore ab-original rights, terminate the treaties, and cause aboriginal peoples to cease to exist as distinct legal, social, cultural, religious and racial entities.

“Cultural genocide is the destruction of those structures and practices that allow the group to continue as a group,” stated the commission in Honoring the Truth, Reconciling for the Future, a 382-page summary of its final report. “States that engage in cultural genocide set out to de-stroy the political and social institutions of the targeted group. Land is seized, and populations are forcibly transferred and their movement is restricted. Languages are banned. Spiritual leaders are persecut-ed, spiritual practices are forbidden, and objects of spiritual value are confiscated and destroyed. And, most significantly to the issue at hand, families are disrupted to prevent the transmission of cultural values and identity from one generation to the next.

“In its dealings with aboriginal people, Canada did all these things.”

The suggestion that this country – a strong proponent of human rights on the world stage – is guilty of cultural geno-cide may be a bitter pill for many Cana-dians, but according to at least one local First Nations leader, it’s one that needs to be taken.

“I strongly believe in the statement the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and TRC say about ‘culture genocide’ because it’s very true,” Wilf Adam, Chief of the Lake Babine Nation, said last week.

Adam says that First Nations people in the Lakes District have been deeply affect-ed by Canada’s aboriginal policies of the past. Many were forced to attend the Lejac Residential School near Fraser Lake, which opened in 1922 and was operated by the Roman Catholic Church on behalf of the federal government until the mid-1970s.

“I didn’t attend Lejac, as my family prevented that when the Indian agent and priest came around to collect the chil-dren,” he explained. “I did attend a couple of years at Immaculata school (in Burns Lake), and two years at Prince George College.

“I did make a submission with the other

LBN Lejac survivors to the TRC when it was in Prince George,” he continued. “What I keep hearing from our citizens who had bad experiences there (at Lejac) is the mistrust and hatred of the church (it instilled) and formed a strong negative im-pact of what happened to them. They are very strong people who went through this, and I hope and pray for their proper heal-ing.”

The TRC’s findings were generally well-received by First Nations leaders and organizations in Canada. Here in the North, the Native Courtworker and Coun-selling Association of BC – which has for 42 years provided counselling and referral services to aboriginal people in conflict with the law – fully endorsed the com-mission’s 94 recommendations, and urged the federal and provincial governments to implement them quickly.

Yet this isn’t the first time a federally-appointed panel has called on Canadi-ans to redress the wrongs inflicted upon aboriginal peoples. In 1996, the Report of the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples urged Canadians to take action on various issues, but most of its recommen-dations were never implemented.

Adam and others are hoping that gov-ernment won’t handle the TRC report the same way.

“I hope that the recommendations of the TRC are acted on and not put on the shelf,” he said. “That in itself will do more harm than good if that happens. I’m sure there are a lot of caring people in Canada to push for proper healing of this awful event in our preventable history.”

“What the TRC did is focus on this history

Investigation into Canada’s residential school

Bruce Jenner, the man who became a national hero during the 1976 Olympics, when he won a gold medal and broke a world record in the men’s decathlon event had a different kind of victory this week: he fi-nally revealed himself to the world as a woman.

The cover and photo spread showing his new identity in Vanity Fair

magazine titled “Call me Caitlyn” hit the Internet on  June 1, along with a request to be referred to with female pronouns rather than male. The media quickly honored her wishes.

Not everyone reacted with kudos or acceptance though. Some were disgusted with the gender change and others by all the exposure this story is getting. For the former I’d like to explore the reac-tions. For the latter, I chalk that up to Bruce Jenner

being a member of the most famous reality TV family, the Kardashians, of which millions are tired of hearing about. Considering her new name is spelled with the letter C rather than a K like the other six women she’s related to, Caitlyn may share that sentiment on some level. I don’t watch the popular program, but I’ve been following this particular story since the media started speculating about Bruce Jenner’s gender reassignment. Photographs taken over the last couple of years suggested that the famous athlete was taking on more of a feminine appearance through cosmetics and surgery. That was confirmed in a recent exclusive inter-view she had with Diane Sawyer.

Knowing Bruce Jenner as an Olympic champion since my childhood, I found this trans-formation intriguing. Especially since I have a friend who’s secretly been a cross dresser for decades.

To protect his identity I’ll call him John. Married with children, John and his wife are from religious, conservative families. For that reason and others he has gone to great lengths to hide his love for dressing like a woman, restricting himself to only indulging when he travels out of town.

When he came to Kelowna a few years ago from Vancouver, my girlfriend and I met up with him at a hotel and for the first time I met his female persona. She was lovely, and beyond happy in her beautiful dress, high heels, wig and make up. The transformation took hours, and during that time our friend was like a kid in a candy store, enjoying every moment of the process with our mutual pal, who helped.

His impulse to dress like a female started when he was a young boy who felt trapped in a body of the wrong gender. As a child he hid his desire to be a girl, and as an adult he has con-tinued to hide his cravings to be a woman. When he momentarily shared this side of himself with his wife early on in their relationship she expressed revulsion.

Not wanting to lose her, his family, or his reputation in the business community, John has tried repeatedly to put an end to these strong feelings, but he hasn’t been able to. His secret persists and anxiety over its possible discovery intensifies.

 Living with this decision isn’t easy though. According to a recent U.S. National Transgen-der Discrimination Survey 41 per cent of trans or gender-non-conforming people surveyed have attempted suicide – a staggeringly high statistic. I hope Caitlyn’s experience will inspire John, and anyone yearning to live their truth, to not be afraid of what others think, to do what makes them happy, and to stay strong throughout. 

 Sharing her story, as others before her have done, can only help to break down the barri-ers created by judgment and intolerance and build a foundation for the kind of respect and acceptance we all deserve as human beings.

Be who you are meant to be

lori WElbournE

On my first day of journalism school, we all received a surprise test (I had just arrived in Canada and I had no idea of what was happening).

We received a general test to assess if we had any knowledge gaps or difficulties involving high school subjects. Being the nerd that I am, tests have never really scared me, so I was quite confident.

After assessing my results, my instructor called me into his office to have a private talk. I was expecting to receive some compliments. However, my instructor told me my math results were “unsatisfactory” and he even suggested a private tutor.

That was quite a shock to me. At that time, I had just completed a bachelor’s degree where I had to pass advanced math classes. We had to use scientific calcu-lators and solve complex math problems. So I couldn’t understand why my math results were unsatisfactory.

But my instructor was completely right. The truth was that I had forgotten basic school math. And that’s not all – I forgot a bunch of other things I learned in school. Countless scientific con-cepts, historical events and chemical formulas - all gone down the drain.

This has made me reflect about the role of basic education and whether or not schools are giving students the right tools to prepare for the world.

This week I interviewed Dustin Louie, who is about to finish his PHD in educational research. Louie grew up in Burns Lake and has recently accepted a tenure track assistant professor position at the University of Calgary.

During his interview, Louie mentioned how education is rapidly changing. The new focus is the so-called inquiry-based learning, a process where students formulate questions, investigate to find answers, build new understandings, meanings and knowledge, and then communicate their learn-ings to others.

“That’s a major shift from the pedagogical models ubiquitous during my high school completion in 1999,” Louie said.

Although I graduated high school a few years later than Louie, I completely relate to what he said. When I was in school, we basically had to memorize things. Instead of educating us to be critical thinkers, our teachers’ main concern was that we possessed knowledge.

The problem is that the world is rapidly changing. It’s not important anymore if you know how old Napoleon Bonaparte was when he died, or exactly when the battle of Hudson’s Bay took place. A simple click of a button on your cellphone can get you those answers in five seconds. We basi-cally carry electronic encyclopaedias in our pockets. This means that the old school models do not make sense anymore. The role of education had to change… and that is what we are starting to see now. Instead of having students memorize formulas and dates, schools are preparing students to become critical thinkers. At the same time, there is a new ideology that involves rewarding students’ every effort. When I was working in Saskatchewan, I was sent to cover a high school science fair. I was surprised to find out that there were over 50 categories of medals being handed out (needless to say it took me a very long time to cover that event).

This new ideology seems incompatible with adult life. The truth is that in the adult world, if you don’t do a good job, you get fired, not a medal; if you don’t respect the law, you go to jail; if you make bad choices, you can put yourself in danger. Life comes with failure, loss and pain; not only success. Learning how to deal with the feelings associated with pain is part of growing up. What I question is this – are we really giving students the right tools to handle their adult lives?

Education sure is changing, but it’s important to never stop questioning what makes sense and what doesn’t.

Right tools for adult life

Earlier this year, the Burns Lake and District Chamber of Commerce did a survey with its members asking about priorities for the Lakes District. What the chamber’s board of directors concluded was that creating initiatives to entice local shoppers was a number one priority.

“A stronger business community is good for the broader community,” said chamber manager Susan Schien-bein. “These businesses pay taxes, they hire our children, and they sup-port many, many community and rec-reation events.”

The chamber is now planning a few  initiatives to support local busi-nesses including a gift certificate pro-gram and a summer market. These actions are part of the chamber’s stra-tegic plan, which focuses on promot-ing and supporting local businesses.  

“We need a strong business com-munity,” said Schienbein. “We really need to change the pattern of driving to another community to purchase our goods; rather, let's see what we can buy in this community.”

“Some will say that we don't have enough retail stores and they are right, we could use some more,” she added. “But investors who might be thinking about setting up shop in Burns Lake will talk to the lo-cal business commu-nity; if our current busi-nesses are concerned about residents not shopping locally, that has a negative spin-off for potential investors.”

“So, let's shop what we can, right here in Burns Lake.”

Investigating the fea-sibility of a gift certifi-cate program

 The Burns Lake and District Chamber of Commerce is investi-gating the feasibility of starting a gift certifi-cate program, similar to what is offered by the Vanderhoof and Hous-ton chambers of com-merce.

With this program, the chamber would print gift certificates in varying denominations such as $10, $20, $50 and $100. These cer-tificates would be pur-chased at the chamber of commerce and would be redeemable at partic-ipating businesses.

Unlike the purchase of some gift cards that can be used at multiple locations, these gift cer-tificates will have no fee for the purchaser.

Participating busi-nesses would pay an annual administration

fee to the chamber of commerce, and would bring their gift certificates back to the chamber to be reimbursed.

Chamber manager Susan Schiebein said that in order for the program to be successful, the chamber needs to have a number of businesses willing to participate.

“The program will be more suc-cessful if we have a greater number of participants,” said Schienbein. “If someone can go buy a gift certificate that can be used at 30 different busi-nesses, that’s pretty attractive.”

The chamber hopes this program will be launched during small busi-ness week (third week of October).

“That’s well in time for the Christ-mas shopping season,” said Schien-bein.

The chamber is expecting to hear what the community has to say before any decision is made by the board of the directors.

“As soon as we have some feedback from our members and can gauge the interest, we’ll consider implementing the program.”

In order to evaluate how the com-munity feels about this program, the chamber is asking community mem-bers to complete an online survey. To complete the survey, visit https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/5JKP9QF

Chamber of commerce creates initiatives to entice local shoppers. “We need to change the pattern of driving to another community to purchase goods,” says chamber manager

One of the consequences of the Mount Polley mining disaster in August 2014 was the future of the proposed Morrison Copper/Gold Mine project.

The proposed project by Pacific Booker Minerals Inc. would be located 65 km northeast of Smithers and 35 km north of Granisle.

Pacific Booker Minerals was originally denied their environmental assessment certificate for the Morrison Mine project back in October 2012. However, a ruling by the B.C. Supreme Court over-turned the original ruling in December 2013.

Last June, Pacific Booker Minerals application for an environmental assessment certificate began to be re-evaluated by the environmental assessment office. The government was required to reconsider the Morrison Mine application, and was just about to reach the deadline for a decision when a massive

Editor:Re: Lakeside Multiplex losing money (June 3,

2015 edition)It comes as no surprise that the Lakeside

Multiplex has not met its budget for this current year. Most recreational complexes are not self-supporting and rely on the taxpayer to make up the balance/shortfall. In the case of the Lake-side Multiplex, its budget/shortfall becomes the responsibility of the municipal taxpayer.

This is an unfair situation. I think the major-ity of the users of the multiplex live outside the village boundaries. All residents of the Lakes District (Regional District Areas B & E and Vil-lage of Burns Lake) derive a benefit from the recreational complex either directly or indirect-ly. To my knowledge, the rural residents have not been asked to contribute their tax dollars to

the operation and maintenance of the complex.Higher taxes are always considered to be a

negative; however, if we want to attract and re-tain the people responsible for our well-being (i.e., teachers, healthcare professionals, busi-ness people, industry workers, etc.), we need to offer a few amenities to complement the natural benefits found in the Lakes District. It is hard to believe, but not everyone wants to hunt and fish. Some things require payment.

I encourage you, as a resident of the Lakes District, to contact your local government representative and discuss this situation. All residents have a responsibility to promote and support the facilities that we have and that we enjoy.

Editor:Three cheers for Chris,

Dooseon and Aiden Beach!  We finally have a full recycling centre.

It’s clean and airy and ef-ficient....there's even a nice washroom to use to clean up.

Lets get behind these guys....make it worth their while. Get acquainted with the depot....pick up a brochure.  There's now a lot we can keep out of the landfill.  Who cares if you get money back.  Pack it all up and recycle it.

 The Burns Lake and District Chamber of Commerce will also be hosting a summer market to support home-based businesses.

The summer market will be opened every Saturday between June 13 and Aug. 29, from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., and it will be held at 540 Hwy. 16 West.

“As this is the first year of this pilot project, we are working out some of the details as we go along,” said Schienbein. “We will evaluate the program and if there is interest and demand, may continue it till the end of September.”

The summer market will allow the sale of garden products such as flowers, vegetables, berries and tree-fruits, as well as locally-made arts and crafts, and goods from home-based businesses.

“This is an opportunity for vendors - both chamber members and non-members - to sell their products,” explained chamber manager Susan Schienbein. “Our vision is to provide a place for local residents, with a special emphasis on our chamber mem-

bers, to sell their products and to ac-

knowledge the importance of locally grown food, and shopping local.”

“We know that there is a growing interest for consumers to purchase food that is grown and sourced locally,” added Schien-bein. “There is a really great movement happening in the Lakes District right now and the chamber sees the benefit of being on the leading edge of that movement.”

The summer market will start with a market safe workshop, which is scheduled for June 6, 2015. The market safe workshop was designed to increase awareness and knowledge of food safe-ty and safe food handling procedures for farmers’ market vendors and those who make, bake, or produce food for public consump-tion outside of regulated food service establishments.

“The Burns Lake and District Chamber of Commerce highly recommends that any food vendors attend this workshop.”

Cost for this pilot year is $10 per table for chamber members; and $15 per table for non-members. For more information, con-tact Schienbein at susan@burnslakechamber.com or call 250-692-3773.

Gender identity should be re-moved from birth certificates, according to a complaint filed with the B.C. Human Rights Tri-bunal on behalf of nine intersex or transgender people.

Morgane Oger, a transgender woman and chair of the Trans Alliance Society, says the forced assignment of gender identity at birth – quickly decided by a doctor inspecting the genitals –  discriminates against inter-sex, trans and other gender non-conforming residents whose assigned gender turns out to be inaccurate or who don't fully identify as one sex or the other.

A statement issued by the

society says misidentified chil-dren "suffer grief when they go to school, humiliation when they apply for a driver's licence and discrimination and danger in ev-ery circumstance where someone wants them to 'prove' their gen-der."

Oger argues there is no valid reason to put gender on birth cer-tificates, adding there are many more sophisticated methods to help identify someone.

"It is indefensible to use a marker which will certainly be wrong, and create havoc for, a predictable number of people."

Health Minister Terry Lake said B.C. has moved  to allow birth certificates to be changed, but removing gender would af-

fect statistics used in medical research.

Transgender advocates else-where are also advancing cases seeking to remove gender from passports.

Oger said it's not acceptable to have a third gender option like "other" because "that puts a target on the forehead of anyone with that third option recorded."

Among the complainants is Harriette Cunningham, a Comox girl labeled male at birth who last year succeeded in getting her birth certificate gender changed to female. In 2013, at the age of 11, she won a Human Rights Tribunal case that led to new pro-vincial legislation making such identification changes easier.

COLLEYMOUNT from t P1

April 2015. During this meeting, residents voiced concerns about safety and maintenance, and then agreed to the formation of a group called “the Colleymount Road working group.”

Besides gathering signatures for the petition, the Colleymount Road working group have been in contact with Ministry of Trans-portation and Infrastructure and Lakes District Maintenance trying to resolve this issue.

When asked what the group hopes to achieve, Lavoie said safety is the group’s number one priority. The group also prioritizes improvements to the road base and width, fixing the slough areas and improving to the overall maintenance of the road. 

Frank Lehmann and Rita Lavoie gather signatures for a petition to improve conditions of the Colleymount Road at the Lakeview Mall in Burns Lake. The petition received almost 200 signatures over a period of two days.

MORRISON MINE from t P5

dam holding the toxic waste water from the Mount Polley Copper-Gold Mine collapsed, releasing 25 million cubic metres of contaminated water and mining waste, contaminating lakes, creeks and rivers.

Since that mining disaster, Morrison Mine’s fu-ture has been left in limbo.

Earlier this year, the environmental assessment office ordered Pacific Booker Minerals to reassess its plan for storing tailings under water and behind an earth-and-rock dam at the proposed Morrison

Mine.An engineering panel recommended that industry

must move away from storing tailings under water behind earthen dams. The panel also suggested fil-tering tailings to remove the water and dry stacking them to eliminate the risk of tailings dam failures.

On March 23, 2015, Pacific Booker Minerals submitted a report to the environmental assessment office in regards to the Mount Polley tailings stor-age facility failure. The report reinforced the com-pany’s opinion that the Morrison Mine project has been designed “using best available practices and could be safely constructed, operated, and closed to protect the environment.”

The environmental assessment office has ac-knowledged receipt of the response and, as per the letter received May 14, the submissions will be forwarded to the minister of environment. The minister will then decide whether the responses by Pacific Booker Minerals provided a sufficient basis on which to lift the suspension order for Morrison Mine.

The next step for Pacific Booker Minerals is to wait for that decision. Pacific Booker Minerals told Lakes District News that the company is still fully committed to the development of the Morrison Mine project.

The $517-million project is a conventional open-pit mine with an extraction rate of approximately 30,000 tonnes per day. The life span of the mine is expected to be 21 years.

The project is expected to employ 1117 part-time, full-time and temporary workers during the two-year construction period and another 661 part-time, full-time and temporary workers over the 21 year life span of the mine. It is expected, if approved, that the project will bring in an esti-mated $64.5 million in provincial revenue over its life span.

Lake Babine Nation’s Chief Wilf Adam said he is against this proposed mine.

“We are still totally against this mine as it is [lo-cated] within our last wild salmon producing area,” he said. “That tailing pond they [Pacific Booker Minerals] proposed will have an unproven rubber membrane that we cannot take a chance on.”

Morrison Mine left in limbo

Smoke will remain visible for the remainder of the summer

 Flavio NieNow

According to the province’s Wildlife Manage-ment Branch, the Little Bobtail Lake wildfire is 100 per cent contained, but smoke will remain vis-ible from this fire for the remainder of the summer.

Starting this week, crews will no longer remain on scene daily but will return to the fire if the fire flares up close to the perimeter. The Wildfire Man-agement Branch said they will continue to actively monitor the fire each day.

The Little Bobtail Lake wildfire, located south-west of Prince George, was first reported on May 8, 2015. Since that time, the fire spread to more than 25,500 hectares (255 square kilometres) and resulted in the evacuation of residences at Norman Lake and Naltesby Lake (also known as Bobtail Lake). Further, residents on Bednesti and Cluculz lakes were on evacuation alerts. The evacuation alerts were lifted at 3 p.m. May 30, 2015, by the regional districts of Bulkley Nechako and Fraser-Fort George.

For the safety of the public and fire personnel, the Wildfire Management Branch is recommend-ing that recreationalists continue to avoid travel-ling in and around the fire area. The public is also reminded to use extreme caution when travelling in the backcountry.

“With the aggressive fire behavior previously observed on this fire, this has resulted in deep burn-ing conditions,” warns the Wildlife Management Branch. “These conditions have weakened root

systems of trees within the wildfire area.”Although the fire danger rating is low within the

vicinity of the Little Bobtail Lake wildfire, the fire danger rating for most of the Prince George fire centre is high, with areas of extreme in the north-east corner. With the high danger rating, forest fu-els are very dry and the fire risk is serious, which means that new fires may start easily, burn vigor-ously, and challenge fire suppression efforts. To re-port smoke, flames or an unattended open fire, call 1-8000-663-555.

Little Bobtail Lake fire is believed to be human caused. Police are looking for the public’s help to further the investigation

 The origin of the Little Bobtail Lake wildfire has

been located, and at this time is believed to be hu-man caused, according to the RCMP.

The RCMP and the Wildfire Management Branch are conducting a joint investigation into the cause of this fire.

“At this point in time there is nothing more to report,” said Cpl. Craig Douglass with the Prince George RCMP.  “The investigation is continuing and is expected to take some time.”

Investigators are looking for the public’s help to further this investigation. If you have any informa-tion about this fire, please contact the Prince George RCMP at 250-561-3300 or anonymously contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Little Bobtail Lake wildfire 100 per cent contained

The Little Bobtail Lake wildfire spread to more than 25,500 hectares (255 square kilometres) since it was first reported on May 8, 2015. The fire is now 100 per cent contained, but recreationalists are advised to avoid the area.

that should never happened. I hope the people of Canada demand the government to act on the recommendations, as it is a true start of healing the nation – especially of those truly effected.”

While Canada’s policies toward aboriginal people have changed in recent years, Adam feels there’s still much more work to be done. 

“Discrimination against aboriginal people will continue by all levels of government and society when we are not respected of who were are and our relation of our rights and title,” he stressed. “We need action of how we are dealt with now, not token expres-sion or actions. I know it’s a work in progress, and governments have to act on the court decisions that we keep winning. Govern-ments are slow to act on their court decisions, as it will do more harm than good if they delay.”

  The Lake Babine Nation chief is opti-mistic that eventually, institutionalized racial discrimination will be a thing of the past in Canada. “There will be a day where true justice will be fully served and people of all colours will live in harmony,” he said. “Probably by the next generation… (This) does not mean we don’t do anything, though. The need to resolve out-standing issues is a must to move ahead.

 “I pray for all the peo-ple who went to residen-tial schools, especially who had a very bad ex-perience, and hope they have true healing of their mind and body – if it’s not too late.”

 The Truth and Recon-ciliation Commission of Canada was established as part of the 2007 In-dian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement. Its mandate is to tell Ca-

nadians about the 150-year history of residential schools through the statements of those whose lives affected by them.

 The commission’s three members – Hon. Justice Murray Sin-clair, Dr. Marie Wilson, and Chief Wilton Littlechild – heard more than 6,750 survivor and wit-ness statements over six years. When complete, their final report will con-sist of six volumes and more than two million words.

  The TRC’s ‘Calls to Action’ in-clude steps to protect child welfare, preserve First Nations’ language and culture, promote legal equality, and strengthen information on missing children.

Cheslatta from t P1

remains… yet,” said Robertson. “We must wait until the water goes down in order to assess the damage.”

Meanwhile, the water at the Cheslatta Lake continues to rise. According to Robertson, the spills that keep flooding the Cheslatta system release 500 cubic metres per second, which equates to 396,000,000 gallons of water per hour.

Last March, Cheslatta Carrier Nation signed a memorandum of understand-ing with the B.C. government that confirmed a framework that includes op-tions to alleviate the flooding in the Cheslatta system.

“Overall, while we are making progress, we are frustrated over the pace of discussions,” he said.

According to Robertson, mining company Rio Tinto Alcan is the one to blame for this annual flooding. Rio Tinto Alcan is responsible for controlling the re-lease of water from its Kenney Dam reservoir through the Skins Lake spillway. Robertson said Rio Tinto Alcan has mismanaged the Kenney Dam reservoir.

“They [Rio Tinto Alcan] are managing the water, and definitely there were mistakes made,” he said.

Cheslatta Carrier Nation is proposing the construction of a cold water release facility at the Kenny Dam. The proposed facility would eliminate the need to flood the Cheslatta Lake system.

Robertson said that in order for the proposed Kenny Dam water release facility to become a reality, Rio Tinto Alcan has to come on board.

“Nothing is going to happen unless Rio Tinto Canada is a part of it,” he said.Kevin Dobbin, Spokesperson for Rio Tinto Alcan, agreed that a water release facility at Kenny Dam

would have impacts to water flow on the Cheslatta system.“A facility at Kenney Dam has been looked at over the years and continues to be a potential option,”

he said.“Rio Tinto Alcan is just completing a new smelter which brings stability and secures our operations for

another 60 years. Discussions, agreements, environmental considerations all take time. Rio Tinto Alcan works with all stakeholders on any potential options effecting or impacting the Nechako reservoir and flows into the Nechako River. These options are complex, and the Nechako systems are geographically very long

and therefore there are many stakeholders to work with along the whole system,” Dobbin continued.

“There are many op-tions that impact the reservoir and river sys-tem differently and in turn impact stakehold-ers in different ways. So finding the right so-lutions can be challeng-ing. Rio Tinto Alcan works closely with the Cheslatta Carrier Na-tion, District of Vander-hoof, Nechako Bulkley Valley Regional Dis-trict, Southside resi-dents and others, and we will continue to do that in order to explore possible options. We remain committed to these discussions and look forward to work-ing with our stakehold-ers,” Dobbin added.

A meeting between Rio Tinto Alcan and Cheslatta Carrier Nation is scheduled for June 22.

Cheslatta system release 500 cubic metres per second

Mike Robertson captured this picture of Skatchola Indian Reserve #7, nearly three dozen wooden grave markers lie in a heap amidst other freshet-borne debris at the edge of Cheslatta Lake. The brilliant white of these crosses, which previously marked the burial sites of 35 First Nations people, is in stark contrast to the wet green grass and turbid flood waters surrounding them. It’s a poignant sight, but one that’s become all too familiar to members of the Cheslatta Carrier Nation. Eight times since 1961, water released from Rio Tinto Alcan’s giant Nechako Reservoir has inundated this remote graveyard and others along the Cheslatta River system, causing what Cheslatta officials say is immense emotional damage to band members.

Annual General Meeting

THANK YOUThe Lakes District 4-H Senior Council

would like to thank all who attended the Buyers Appreciation Dinner

and Fundraiser on May 8, 2015. The support 4-H receives benefits our

youth and strengthens the entire community.

Michael Riis-chRistianson

Sometimes, even in the midst of a storm, a ray of sunshine appears.

On June 1, representatives from the Cheslatta Carrier Nation toured Cheslatta Lake by helicopter in an effort to better gauge the devastation wrought by this year’s flooding.

After a sobering trip that afforded sev-eral views of flooded graveyards, the local officials received a text message urging them to fly over Francois Lake Elemen-tary School. They did – and what they saw, according to Chief Corrina Leween, helped make a bad day a bit better.

The children of Francois Lake Elemen-tary had used their bodies to spell “HI” on the school playing field, and even formed a human ‘heart’ for good measure.

“Suddenly, we were all laughing, point-ing and waving, and we forgot all about everything bad,” Chief Leween said in a subsequent letter to the school’s students. “You gave us great joy and inspiration, and the mood in the helicopter was happy and cheerful all the way to the Burns Lake Airport.

“I am still smiling this morning, as I’m sure are all the other passengers that were on board,” she added. “Thank you again for making us feel so delightful. You’ve reminded me and made it clear that our duty as leaders and politicians is to make the world a better place for our youth.”

Mike Robertson, senior policy advisory for the Cheslatta Carrier Nation, later sent the students photos taken during the trip, along with an explanation of why the flight was necessary. Much to his pleasure, they responded by sending 22 handwritten let-ters of encouragement and support.

“We wish you the best for this hor-rible situation in the lake,” wrote a stu-dent named Alexander. “I know that your grave sight (sic) is flooded, and I hope the water clears up soon. I’m very sorry for

you, and I hope everybody else does too.”“I hope you are feeling a little better now about the sidguation (sic) that happened,”

printed another. “I think after a few years you will feel a little bit better. I feel a little bit better after a few years when some-thing sad happens to me.

Robertson, Chief Leween, and councillors Ted Jack and Hazel Burt toured the flood area with Vanderhoof Mayor Gerry Thiessen and Nechako-Lakes MLA John Rustad.

Annual 1000 yard shoot in Burns Lake

A competitor in last weekend’s Tweedsmuir Park Rod & Gun Club 40th Annual Thousand Yard Shoot ponder his next shot during competition Sunday.

Steve Wilks makes some final adjustments to his rifle scope. Wilks placed third in the Men’s Sporting Rifle category.

MICHAEL RIIS-CHRISTIANSON

Marksmen from across Western Canada gathered here May 30-31 for the Tweedsmuir Park Rod & Gun Club’s 40th Annual 1000 Yard Shoot. 

Dallas Matson, vice-president of the sporting organization, said ap-proximately 50 shooters competed in the two-day event, some from as far away as Saskatchewan. She added that the scores turned in were some of the best in recent memory. 

“It was incredible,” said Matson, who also competed. “It’s one of the best shooting years that I can remem-ber, and this is my ninth year of par-ticipating. We had an amazing group of shooters. They came from Sas-katchewan, the Yukon, Alberta – all over.” 

Although the annual shoot has drawn more participants in the past, Matson said club members consider this year’s event a tremendous suc-cess – in part because of the support received from businesses.

  “We had outstanding sponsors. I don’t know if it was because this was

our 40th year or what, but everyone really stepped up,” she stressed. “We had three new guns, some scopes, and a lot of other great prizes… I want to emphasize that we wouldn’t be able to do this without sponsors and vol-unteers.”

 Although most of the competitors were veteran shooters, Matson noted that more young people are getting involved in the event. 

The results of this year’s shoot, listed from first to third place, were as follows: 

Men’s Sporting Rifle: Lincoln Ed-ward (4.1875” group); Brian Bamsey (7.4375”, 5.75” in shoot off); Steve Wilks (7.4375”, 11.625” in shoot-off).

Men’s Heavy Barrel: Brad Wad-dell (4.0”); second – Ron Edward (4.0625”); Rocky Sayles (4.6875”).

Lady’s Sporting Rifle: Nicole Ge-row (9.5625”); Lisa Burnes (10.125”); Dallas Matson (11.0625”).

Lady’s Heavy Barrel: Cierra Verduzco (7.125”); Nicole Gerow (10.625”); Karla Matson (11.0”).

Unlimited: Ron Edward (5.5”);

Rolf Johnson (6.5”); Bill Watt (6.75”, 4.5625” in shoot-off).

Senior High Aggregate Score: Ron Ball (145); Rolf Johnson (142); Lin-coln Edward (141).

Junior High Aggregate Score: Cier-ra Verduzco (130); Noah Gustafson (114); Andrew Johnson (103).

Hunter Class: Cierra Verduzco (3.1875”); Bill Watt (4.125”); Don Stevenson (4.9375”).

Junior 13-18 (Boys/Girls): Noah Gustafson (6.0”); Cierra Verduzco (8.875”); Andrew Johnson (13.625”).

Low Aggregate Group: Lincoln Ed-ward (17.1875); Bill Watt (18.375); Ron Edward (20.8125).

Junior Low Aggregate Group: Cierra Verduzco (19.1875); Noah Gustafson (31.25); Andrew Johnson (31.875”).

Standing Gong: Ron Edward. Egg Shoot: Travis Matson.

 The Team Shoot was won this year by Team 3 (Keenan Shutes, Lincoln Edward, Ron Ball, Rocky Sayles, Shane Krikke, and Charlene Gus-tafson) with a low aggregate group of 197.94.

Ron Ball takes aim during last weekend’s Tweedsmuir Park Rod & Gun Club 40th Annual Thousand Yard Shoot. Ball ultimate won the Senior High Aggregate competition with a score of 145.

The Burns Lake Snowmobile Club

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETINGThursday, June 11, 2015

Dad’s Restaurant at 6:30 pmThe Burns Lake Snowmobile Club is not just snowmobiles. If you are an ATV’er, dirt biker etc. you can enjoy the same benefits. One example is insurance rates are cheaper for

your machine if you belong to the BCSF. Our membership is small but we are hard at work all year long and complete many tasks. We are always looking for new members that will bring fresh ideas and lend a helping hand to lighten the load for all that we want to accomplish. The club property, located at 5.5 km Babine Road, has a great warm up shelter that can be utilized all year long, complete with full power. There has been new interest in finishing the motor cross track. We have materials on hand to complete the track but need people who want this done. There are trails leaving the property that go to Ailport and are presently in the process of securing grants to help finish that trail system.

We hold the very successful Cold Smoke Drags: 10 years running, with numerous local participants and racers coming from the south, Alberta and Alaska. This event takes a lot of time planning from our very few dedicated members, however on actual set up and race day we have many volunteers that come out to help make this one of the best events of its kind.

We maintain the cabin at Rhine Ridge as well as the trail and many bridges leading up to the mountain, so all users can safely enjoy the area.

It is not all about work. We host many snowmobile rides; to the Sibola area, Telkwa Range and the very popular Telkwa Pass ride complete with a hot lunch. In the future we hope to host ATV poker rides. If you

have any thoughts to get something going we are always open to new ideas and encourage input.

Call Dennis at 250-692-4172.

So please attend our AGM and see what we’re all about and think

about becoming a club member.Hwy 16 • Cold Beer Store: 250-692-3622 • Pub: 250-692-3078

Women who say they were harassed and discrim-inated against during their service with the RCMP are in B.C. Supreme Court this week attempting to certify a class action lawsuit against the force.

The certification hearing began Monday and the proposed class action would include 362 current and former officers and civilian employees across the country.

The case was launched in 2012 by Janet Merlo, a 19-year officer with the Nanaimo RCMP who was among the first officers to go public with allegations.

Lawyer David Klein said the common thread among the complainants is harassment, bullying and discrimination over an extended period of time.

More women would be able to join the case if a judge agrees there was a systemic problem and certifies the class action.

Site aids youth 'aging out'

The province has un-veiled a new website designed to help teens in foster care prepare to prepare for life with-out government support when they turn 19 and "age out" of care.

The site agedout.com was designed by former foster teens to connect with vulnerable youth and showcases services

and supports to help make the transition.It includes videos of former youth in care dis-

cussing real world challenges and gaming "quests" where youth earn rewards by completing chal-lenges like renting an apartment, getting a bank ac-count, preparing for a job interview or dealing with an abusive relationship.

"‘How do I get a job?’ ‘Where am I going to live?’ These are the types of questions we all faced when we became adults," Children and Family De-velopment Minister Stephanie Cadieux said. "But for those in the care in the ministry, the transition can be much more challenging." About 700 young people age out of government care each year.

SHOP LOCALLYBurns Lake graduate is making a difference in the academic world

 Flavio NieNow

Dustin Louie, who grew up in Burns Lake, has not only been succeeding in the academic world; he is also preparing teachers to empower students who have been historically marginalized.

Louie has recently accepted a tenure track assis-tant professor position at the University of Calgary.

Armed with an undergraduate degree in Cana-dian history and a masters degree in international development, Louie is now nearing completion of his PHD in educational research.

During his PHD, Louie has taught both under-graduate and graduate courses in the faculty of edu-cation. All of his students were either one or two years away from becoming teachers themselves in primary, elementary or secondary schools.

One of the courses Louie has taught is called “di-versity in learning,” which focuses on social jus-tice through teaching. This course prepares future teachers to recognize how power dynamics influ-ence classrooms and can marginalize disempow-ered students.

“Future teachers need to be prepared to meet the needs of all of their students, with a specific em-phasis on those who have been historically margin-alized within the schools systems such as LGBTQ, Aboriginal, immigrant, rural, and a wide range of

other students who have been under served in the school system,” he said. “As educators, I believe we need to model social justice, as well as teaching it.”

Louie added that education is rapidly

changing in Canada, with a new focus on inquiry-based models. Inquiry-based learning is a process where students formulate questions, investigate to find answers, build new understandings, meanings and knowledge, and then com-municate their learnings to others. 

“That’s a major shift from the pedagogical models ubiquitous during my high school completion in 1999,” he said.

Louie has also taught courses on First Nations Metis and Inuit history, edu-cation and leadership. Louie is from Nadleh Whut'en and Nee Tahi Buhn, and is a member of the beaver clan. His Aboriginal roots have given him valuable insights into Aboriginal issues, especially when it comes to education.

“The experiences I have gained made it clear that research and practice need to be taken on by Aboriginal people in order to address the impact of coloniza-tion,” he said.

The Lakes District Secondary School graduate said he is grateful for his upbringing in Burns Lake.

“Having spent my adult life primarily in major cities, I am appreciative of my rural upbringing,” he said. “Growing up in a small town exposed me to social dynamics not present in larger cities, where people from a wide range of backgrounds find ways to live with one another.”

“In terms of my education in Burns Lake, I was fortunate to have a number of inspirational teachers who greatly influenced my career as an academic.”

Ensuring social justice through teaching

Dustin Louie, who grew up in Burns Lake, was in Uganda doing research for his masters degree. Louie has recently accepted a tenure track assistant professor position at the University of Calgary.

The eighth class of students from the Northern Medical Program celebrated their graduation on Saturday at an event in Prince George. The 30 graduates received their shingle cut out of beetle pine wood and their long coat as they transition from students to doctors. These graduates now move into two to seven years of medical residency and fellowship training, depending on specialty. The Class of 2015 includes 14 graduates from Northern BC, including Christopher Unger from Burns Lake.  Twenty of the graduates will be entering family practice residency programs, with nine of those training in northern B.C.

More fake calls claiming to be from the govt. of Canada

The Better Business Bureau warns of another scam making the rounds that uses a government agency as the disguise. Many Canadians have been receiving calls from people claiming to be from the National Do Not Call List (DNCL).

Like many phone scams these days, the scammer uses phone number ‘spoofing’ to make it appears as though the phone is coming from an NDCL operator. The fake oper-ator tells the individual that their number on the DNCL is about to expire and they need to re-register by inputting personal information.

Chinook Community Forest1. Invitation from the Province to Apply for a Community Forest License The Province of British Columbia has issued a formal invitation to the Regional

District of Bulkley Nechako Electoral Area B (Burns Lake Rural) and Electoral Area E (Francois/Ootsa Lake Rural), the Village of Burns Lake and the six First Nations in the Lakes District to jointly apply for a Community Forest License that would include approximately 130,244 hectares of land with an initial Allowable Annual Cut of 150,000 cubic metres.

2. Benefits of a Community Forest in the Lakes District The primary benefits of a community forest license include the following: a) Creates economic stability in the Lakes District b) Supports a viable forest sector in the region c) Provides local jobs and local business opportunities d) Ensures that profits benefit the local area e) Creates a long lasting legacy fund for the Lakes District f) Supports community initiatives

3. Proposed Structure a) The Chinook Community Forest would be operated through a limited partnership with the general partner being a corporation. Each participant would hold shares in the corporation and units in the limited partnership in the following percentages:

Burns Lake Band 14.167%

Cheslatta Carrier Nation 14.167%

Nee Tahi Buhn First Nation 14.167%

Skin Tyee Nation 14.167%

Wet’suwet’en First Nation 14.167%

Lake Babine Nation 14.167%

Local Government – Shared between the Village of Burns 15.000% Lake; and the Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako on behalf of Area B and Area E

Total 100%

b) The primary reasons for using a corporate structure are: i. Limited legal liability ii. Protect the taxpayers from financial risk iii. Engage external expertise iv. Independent management

c) Board Composition Each First Nations partner listed above will appoint one representative

to the Chinook Board of Directors, the Village of Burns Lake will appoint one representative and the RDBN will appoint two representatives (one on behalf of Area B and one on behalf of Area E). To keep the management of Chinook operations as independent as possible, the local government appointees will be community members that are not elected officials or local government staff.

4. RDBN Costs and Capital Contributions Each partner is funding its own legal fees needed for structuring the Chinook Community Forest. a) RDBN Start-up Costs The RDBN costs are funded through the new Chinook Community Forest

Economic Development Service, with any taxation shared by Area B and Area E based on property assessments. Although the maximum taxation under the bylaw is the greater of $85,795 or $0.25 per $1,000, with taxation on improvements only, it is hoped that a significant portion of the start-up costs will be covered by grant revenues. The 2015 budget includes $50,000 in start-up costs funded by $50,000 in grant revenues.

b) Common Start-up Costs In addition to the structuring costs paid for by each participant, there will be certain

start-up costs within Chinook (e.g.: costs for preparing a Forest Management Plan and the application for a forest license). Hampton Forest Products has agreed to fund these costs to help get Chinook started.

5. Application for Forest License The application was filed with the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations and signed by all the participants by April 30, 2015. It will take several months for the Ministry to complete its review process.

6. Financial Projections Preliminary financial projections indicate that Chinook would earn a profit in each year after start-up, amounting to an annual average of over $1 million per year for the first five years of operation. The Local Government share would be 15%, or $150,000 per year.

7. Profit Distribution After recovery of any start-up costs funded through taxation, the Local Government 15% share of distributed profits would be contributed to a local trust. The income earned on the trust assets could be distributed to community projects, with approval decisions made by an independent committee.

8. Annual Public Information Meeting An annual information meeting will be held to inform the public about Chinook’s activities and achievements and to provide opportunities for the public to meet Chinook’s Directors and to ask questions.

9. Forest Management Plan Included with the application for a forest license, is a Forest Management Plan outlining Chinook’s guiding principles, goals, objectives, strategies and inventories. The draft Forest Management Plan is available for viewing by members of the public at the RDBN office at 37 Third Avenue, Burns Lake, BC during normal business hours, 8:30 am to 4:30 pm Monday to Friday.

10. Public Comment If you would like to comment, please provide your input by contacting the Regional District at 250-692-3195 or toll-free at 1-800-320-3339 or by email at inquiries@rdbn.bc.ca.

NECHAKO RESERVOIR UPDATE

5 June 2015

Reservoir Elevation: 853.48 m (2800.13 ft.)SLS Discharge: 455 m3/sCheslatta Falls: 480 m3/sNautley River: 253 m3/sVanderhoof: 675 m3/s

Please give me a call at 567-5105 or 567-0351 if you have any ques-tions about fl ow management. Spillway discharge was reduced to 455 m3/s this morning to main-tain the current water level in the Nechako River. Water level in the Nechako River at Vanderhoof should remain at the current level for the next sev-eral days.The reservoir will be overfi lled by a maximum of 0.18m (7.2 inches) to prevent water fl ow from get-ting higher than 700 m3/s (5.510 m) at Vanderhoof. Flow will be 550 m3/s (4.812 m) or higher for another 8 to 35 days, depending on the amount of rain received in the region over the next several weeks.Please note that the fl ow from the Nautley River from the Water Survey of Canada gauge (shown above) is not accurate due to back pressure from the high wa-ter level in the Nechako River. Actual fl ow from the Nautley Riv-er and other tributaries upstream of Vanderhoof is estimated to be a total of about 195 m3/s. The weather over the next fi ve days is expected to be dry and so this to-tal fl ow is expected to drop con-sistently over that time.

Visit website www.wateroffi ce.ec.gc.ca for up to date real-time fl ow information for the Nechako River.
