60th anniversary activities continue for the District of Kitimat, the latest event being an outdoor moving night. While July 26 actually had the audience in the Tamitik Arena for Hotel Transylvania, the crowd on July 27 got to enjoy Here Comes the Boom on the grass outside the Riverlodge.

Ross returns as Haisla chief councillorHe says portfolio system as stands needs major overhaul

By the end of day July 28, the new Haisla Nation Council was known follow-ing their regular election.

In all, 379 votes were cast for the posi-tion of councillors, of which 10 seats were up for grabs.

The position of chief councillor went to Ellis Ross by acclamation as he had no opponents. He � rst earned the position in the 2011 election, and was a councillor since 2003.

Taking a seat with him at the council table will be Henry Amos, Taylor Cross, Brenda Duncan, Godfrey Grant, Marga-ret Grant, Willard Grant, Lucille Harms, Joanne Ross, Russell Ross and Crystal Smith.

A recount was conducted for Willard Grant and Alexander Grant Sr., due to the extremely close margin of Willard’s win, as set out in the Haisla’s election code. Wil-lard snuck the win by a margin of three votes over Alexander.

The conclusion of this election means some interesting changes and initiatives, both from the new chief councillor and from the election process itself.

From Ellis Ross’ perspec-tive, he aims to change up how portfolios are handled, the goal being to free up coun-cil’s time from matters that don’t much impact their own business.

“In light of all the proj-ects we’re part of now...I think we’ve got enough momentum there, but I strongly believe that it’s our structure that ac-tually holds us back now,” ex-plained Ross. “We’re so used to dealing with Indian Act programming and we’re so used to being dictated by what funding agreements with Ottawa tell us to do and tell us what not to do. I think we’ve got to break out of that and I think we’ve got to leave our administration to deal with Indian Act programming and our council deals with all of these other issues.”

In a letter written to the Haisla Nation following his acclamation, he talked of the current portfolio system, which he wrote is not set up to let the council look or deal

with matters outside of health or � sheries, for example.

He told the Sentinel that as an example with the Health portfolio, they receive a cer-tain amount of money from the federal government to im-plement health services, and with that they hire a manager, who works under the chief op-erations of� cer, and the health centre is managed under that system.

It doesn’t make sense to put members of the council into that mix, he said, which is what happens now.

“If you don’t agree with it they’ll [Ot-tawa] just cut your funding. So why put councillors down there to do a job that the chief operating of� cer is already doing, the manager is already doing, the staff mem-bers are already doing? And at the end of the day you can’t improve on it really,” said Ross. “I want to leave staff to do the jobs they’ve been hired to do.”

He wants new portfolios created for

councillors to cover issues such as lan-guage, land management and government-to-government portfolio, as well as a com-munication portfolio to get information transmitted effectively from and to the Haisla membership.

In his letter he also noted a problem with council has been not enough separa-tion between the administration and the elected council.

“It’s a stereotype to say ‘I’m going to get a job now and an opportunity because my brother’s on council’,” said Ross, but added, “I’m not sure that stereotype isn’t too far off from the mark. I’ve seen where councillors advocate for family members or themselves...I just want to put in a sys-tem that no matter who’s in council, you’re always achieving something for your mem-bership.”

And empowering the councillors to achieve more is another facet to his new platform. He said he knows � rst hand from his time as a Haisla councillor that coun-cillors aren’t given their due respect in the system.

Further to our brief last week on the Coast Guard’s clean up of an old World War 2 vessel sunk in the Gren-ville Channel, Hart-ley Bay Councillor Marven Robinson said the Gitga’at Na-tion will be watching over the operation with a close eye.

“It’s only taken how many years of the [U.S.S. Brigadier General M.G.] Za-linski leaking before we’re finally able to do something...? We’re going to watch it close and see how it’s dealt with,” Rob-inson said, the na-tion wants to be as included as possible in the process.

The Zalinski was first put on the coast guard’s radar in 2003 when Bun-ker C oil began sur-facing in the area. Prior, the vessel’s location was un-known.

The ship’s manifest showed the vessel’s capac-ity for 700 tonnes of fuel. Girouard said because the size of upwelling oil wasn’t significant, the coast guard’s initial sense was there wasn’t much original oil re-maining on board.

Girouard said that opinion shifted over the past few years.

“The last few years there’s been an increase in the size and severity of the spills. We’ve gone down and done some patching, but decided ... the trend line wasn’t very good and decided to go forward with a plan to remove the pollutants and get in front of this issue in-stead of let time and weather give us a sit-uation that wouldn’t be very pretty,” he said.

Girouard said when coast guard divers went down to view the vessel, they noticed the ship’s rivets had popped, allowing oil to es-cape the vessel.

Continued from page 1“What I’ve never

liked about our chief and council is the fact that for regular coun-cils, council members don’t get the respect or authority a chief coun-cillor does. No one re-ally wants to talk to a councillor, they don’t really have any author-ity. Everybody wants to talk to the chief coun-cillor,” he said.

He said that with the right directives councillors can be giv-en more authority to achieve something out of the proposed new port-folios, and the “buck can stop with them” before recommendations make it to the council table.

In the end he wants council to be more ef-ficient and work more spread out.

Meanwhile, the elections themselves will take on a new shape. Instead of general elections every two years as set out in the Indian Act, the Haisla will embark on a custom election sched-ule.

Basically, the chief councillor and the top five elected councillors will earn a four year term this time through, while the bottom five coun-cillors based on vote count will earn a two year term.

The elections then will be staggered, so five councillors always remain on council during elections which take place every two years, as a means of creating continuity.

“At any given time no matter what the elec-

Haisla election

“No one really wants to talk to a councillor, they don’t really have

any authority. Everybody

wants to talk to the chief councillor.”

tion process is you always have five councillors on council, instead of just throwing everybody out at election time,” explained Ross.

He said getting this new system in place was the result of seven years of hard work from the Haisla Nation.

LNG plan needs more action than promises: AustinCameron Orr

The provincial government released a lique-fied natural gas (LNG) action plan on July 23, which outlines the job requirements for the sev-eral proposed projects in B.C.’s northwest, and provides a list of ‘next steps’ to prepare for them.

However the report falls short in certain areas, says Skeena MLA Robin Austin, who was just re-cently named as Natural Gas Development Critic.

Highlights from the report include an estimate of the need for 60,000 workers at the peak of LNG pipeline and plant construction in the province, which is expected to occur in 2016 and 2017.

The report says currently that the natural gas industry in the province employs about 13,235, across several sub-sectors, including pipelines, exploration and production, and oil and gas ser-vices.

But they say once all proposed LNG projects are operational there will be over 75,000 needed.

In addition the report states that there would be 11,100 jobs in industries “benefitting from LNG workers spending their wages in the broader economy.”

But those numbers are just fluff, according to Austin.

“The whole thing is very optimistic. I don’t want to poo-poo the notion of us having an LNG industry...but the numbers you’re reading there are on a best case scenario,” he said.

He said he’d like to see the issues overcome regarding getting plants built, but there are several things that could potentially hang up LNG plans.

For instance the Clean Air Act the Liberals in-troduced will have to be re-worked, he said.

“Just one plant, one, will blow that right out of the water, so they’ll have to redo that,” he said.

Power generation is another hurdle, as to

where the power will come from to get these plants going.

When asked if Site C hydroelectric project could help, he said even if they broke ground to-day it’d take 10 years to build, and won’t be ready to support the projects.

The much larger issue, he said, is getting the workers we’ll need.

He said looking at professions like mechanics and pipe fitters, the average age is over 45.

“Which means we’ll have a huge outflow in the next 10 years of all of these trades people retir-ing. Are we training people right now? No we’re not.”

One of the reports’ ‘next steps’ is “delivering workers to current in-demand jobs in upstream natural-gas operations,” and addressing barriers to employment.

“If we want to actually have this industry take place, then government actually has to step up and put some of these things in place,” he said. “The government’s role is actually to do the hard work to make it happen and I don’t see that yet.”

He said he wants to see more training happen because he believes unemployment should be zero in the region.

“There should be no unemployment here,” he said, but noting that the airport has endless people coming in and out for work.

The next nine months will be critical for LNG development, he said.

He said he expects a fall session of the leg-islature to be called, primarily to deal with LNG issues, such as setting taxation rates for the pro-posed plants, something that is holding up final investment decisions, he said.

“Until that happens they can’t even look at a final investment decision.”

The report was put together by the B.C. Natu-ral Gas Workforce Strategy committee, which is funded by Labour Market Partnerships Program.

4 Northern Sentinel, Wednesday, August 7, 2013

Kitimat doesn’t often treat us so well, and yet so badly at the same time. Long sti� ingly-hot sum-mer days, with day time tempera-tures in the 30s, accompanied by high lingering residual heat within the house, at night thus preventing a good night’s sleep. This midweek, lack of our normal four o’clock Douglas Channel breeze has left us without our usual evening relief.

Climate control and air condition-ing are rare in this northwest city where we can mostly rely on rapid cooling after the sun goes down, so sleeping is rarely a problem. Don’t get me wrong, I’d never have the temerity to complain about our weather. Having lived in southern Ontario, where we’d frequent-ly take the summertime opportunity to sleep al frescoe to beat the night time humidity, I know the couple of uncom-fortable nights we had last week serves us only as a reminder that our west coast summer climate is not all always to our liking.

Keeping shallow-rooted annual colour shows like our hanging � ower baskets calls for several extra-watering trips a day and keeping Roma tomato plants from wilting is its own challenge.

But not needing a trip to Overwait-ea for a box of Okanagan raspberries to supplement my berry supplies to make

my now famous (I understand!) Raley Street raspberry preserves with its “se-cret ingredient” was a rare summer treat. I still have an abundance of ber-ries from my 4x4 patch and will likely need to heat the re-kitchen with another batch.

Downtown is busy, especially with the rash of road repairs and our annual Kitimat River bridge-deck welding fest, and it’s busier still on the banks of the river across from the water pumps. This is a growing issue, but a run through Radley Park, where so many out-of-town vacationers are enjoying the � sh-ing, shows few vacancies so, while I don’t like campers and tents in the woods all along the river bank, I’m not sure if council is up to facing the challenge of controlling it before it gets even more out of hand.

Still, I wish they’d re-open that debate, with DFO and the sports � sh-ermen at the table. Opportunity knocks

and with the industrial prospects in summers to come, it has to and needs to be an elephant in some-body’s room, very soon.

Like rights-of-way, that can be conceded over time, maybe this sort of thing will indeed become uncontrollable in the future and I’d like to see this contentious issue vigorously taken up again. Few, if

any other northern cities permit un-controlled camping and when I look at all of the big $60-$100,000 rigs, with slide-out sleeping space, trailing boats and cars, it’s clear it’s not all a matter of affordability. Just from the potential liability point of view it’s unacceptable, as is.

Anyway, that’s my gripe for the day; it’s too nice on the deck!

Went for a walk to drop in on my son and visiting family members on Tuesday night last week and was treated to the beautiful sight of a huge rainbow over Mount Elizabeth as wispy grey clouds passed over the twin peaks. Marvellous to see, then it faded and only clear blue skies remained, until the gorgeous red sunset behind the Clague mountain range provided yet another visual treat. Blissful days indeed.

I did, however, have some sympa-thetic thoughts for the guys working on the pot lines in this kind of weather.

Riverbank camping debate needs reopening

Happy numbersWith any politician you sometimes do have to

� lter what’s said through a critical eye, whether Liberal, NDP or any other.

But sometimes what they say is spot on.This week Robin Austin, our Skeena MLA and

the natural resources critic for the B.C. NDP said what I was thinking already: that the numbers in a recently released “LNG action plan” were more than wishful, they were spectacularly wishful.

Here’s the numbers as laid out in the report: In 2012, the natural gas industry in B.C. employed about 13,235 workers, across three sub-sectors, which were oil and gas services, exploration and production, and natural gas pipelines.

Once operational, the report continues, there will be over 75,000 jobs.

I took that from the “Quick Facts” section of the report, and just didn’t know what to think.

Certainly they’re including spin-off jobs in that number, and very likely assuming six or so projects make it into operation (which is also very, very op-timistic), but it still doesn’t make sense.

The same report says over 60,000 people will be required at peak construction.

And as you may know, it takes a heck of a lot more people to build something than it does to op-erate it.

Yet apparently just under 62,000 people will be needed once everything is running.

That doesn’t sound like a realistic gain.Of course I say this as a supporter of the LNG

projects. But Austin is right, we’re at a point where we really need programs running on the ground to get us to a good place.

Everyone is aware that there just may not be enough workers to build these projects in B.C., meaning foreign workers will necessarily be brought in.

A real gung-ho approach to getting post-sec-ondary institutions more resources, for instance Kitimat’s NWCC campus and the Kitimat Valley Institute, is needed.

While I think Austin himself was speaking op-timistically when he told me that this region should have zero unemployment, I can appreciate his sentinment.

Just looking at registered voters, the Skeena riding has 20,645 signed up.

That’s just a fraction of the 75,000 we’ll sup-posedly need.

So in the end this LNG report has some good feeling numbers, but it’s the implementation that will really matter.

Make sure you keep pets out of parked carsCameron Orr

Kitimat RCMP corporal Stu Egers said that he hasn’t heard of any windows being smashed on cars to rescue overheat-ed pets, but such an option may be consid-ered depending on the circumstance.

Last Tuesday, the Kitimat Commu-nity Humane Society Manager Maryann Ouellet said that over the course of two

days, 15 calls were made regarding pets left in hot cars.

Egers said he wasn’t aware how many calls the RCMP themselves had received, but did say the action an officer takes would depend on the situation.

The officers will look at things, like if windows are opened or if there is any food or water left for the pet.

“If it appears that it is a condition that’s not humane to them, like they’re parked right in the sun and it’s hot out, then we’ll go so far as to break the win-dow and try to get them out and turn them over to the humane society,” he said.

However if the vehicle is in the shade and there’s water in the car, the officers may opt not to do anything.

“It’s really case by case,” he said.People who call in complaints about

animals left in cars can also be helpful by providing extra information as well.

“If the caller has any information the animal has been trapped in the vehicle, then that certainly helps go to our deci-sion making as well,” he said, also saying owners need to use some common sense.

We welcome the return of the Haisla Homecoming with great enthusiasm!

Haisla HomecomingCelebrating the return of the

August 9, 10 and 11 in Kitamaat Village

Generations of Haisla set to come home

There once was a man in the Kitlope Valley who was being groomed by his elders to be a hunter.

Except he was impatient, and wanted to go off on his own, despite not being told he could by his elders.

“You wait for your elders before you do any-thing. And he didn’t. He wanted to go hunting on his own,”” says Marilyn Furlan, telling the story of the man who turned to stone.

Caught in the Kitlope’s notoriously heavy fog, the man sat with his three dogs waiting for the air to clear.

Except while he sat, he turned to stone, and his three dogs wandered away.

“The moral of that story is, you always listen to your elders,” said Furlan. “Always listen to your elders.”

The value of elders in the Haisla community can’t be overstated. With the First Nation com-munity still in some ways impacted by residential schools, elders are an immensely valuable source of traditional knowledge, including the Haisla lan-guage which has been slowly forgotten by the new generation.

It’s that which provides some of the backdrop for the return of the Haisla Homecoming, which was once a regular celebration and get together of Haisla people and surrounding communities, to re-connect with their culture and heritage.

“Because of residential schools some of them never came home again, and some of them are com-ing back for the celebration of getting together once again after so many years. So many don’t know our

on the return of theHaisla Homecoming!

Ne’um, our story,” said Furlan.But come August 9, many will return, and re-

connect to family they may have lost.Furlan said they will have family trees on dis-

play in the Elder Centre, allowing people to trace their family history.

There are many stories that are yet to be told. Furlan herself has stories from her great-great-grandmother, Annie Paul, who, she said, lived to 114.

“I asked her how do you know when your birthday was,” she said about Annie Paul, when she was then 99.

The answer was she knew when she was born because she was born when “the berries were ripe” — meaning sometime in June or July — and the family travelled frequently by canoe to Seattle, and she could keep up with the news of the day on those trips.

It will be a densely packed weekend of activi-ties for those who attend the Homecoming events in Kitamaat Village.

All are welcome, First Nations or non, at this event, brought together by a dedicated group of volunteers who have been hard at work behind the scenes making sure everything goes smoothly.

Kimberley McKenzie, one of about nine members of the Haisla Homecoming Committee, says it’s excitement, and not nerves, which is be-ing shared by everyone in the days leading up to the big event.

“There’s tons of excitement. Everybody is thrilled and that’s all everybody’s talking about now,” said McKenzie. “It’s been a long time com-ing, we need a celebration in our community right now.”

This year’s Homecoming revival came about simply from people’s recollections of the earlier events, said McKenzie.

People, she said, were reflecting on older days and the Homecoming came up.

“It was brought up about how they had a Homecoming weekend and it was a big celebra-tion and it was a place for families to get together and set all their animosities aside and just come and have fun and to show the kids that adults have fun too,” she said.

Being the first time in decades one has been held, she’s expecting maybe one or two hiccups but everything appears in order for a great turnout.

“It’s been a lot of hard work but we’re work-ing well as a team and it’s all going great,” she said. “The hardest part is finished now.”

The events begin at 6 p.m. on August 9, with a welcoming prayer, followed by other mes-sages and speeches, in-cluding the youth wel-come and the elders welcome.

On Saturday, the Nee N’Wagilas Elders Centre will have free fried bread, coffee and juice, while starting at 10 a.m. at the soccer field people can buy tickets for six minute helicopter rides.

At the bay area starting at 9 a.m., un-til noon will be canoe races.

At 5 p.m. at the health department people can buy a plate of potato salad and it’ll come with BBQ salmon and crab.

A community bonfire will take place at the soccer field at 8 p.m.

On Sunday will be a fried bread con-test from 7 to 10 a.m., and closing remarks will take place at 3 p.m.

A smoke house demonstration will take place at 209 Kit-lope in the Village as well, from 1 to 3 p.m.

See page 8 for a complete schedule.

Among those making the trip to Kitamaat Village is Trevor Martin, who will be bringing his three-year-old daughter with him.

Martin himself never lived in Kitamaat Vil-lage but both his parents did.

Today he tries keeping connected with the Haisla Nation and he said he loves hearing how friends and family are doing.

“Being raised by my step-mother and father in Alberta, I didn’t have access to our culture or our heritage,” Martin wrote to the Sentinel.

He’s been to Kitamaat twice in the last 15 years but both for sad occasions, yet the com-munity and people made him have a feeling of home he never had before.

Now for his daughter Eleanora’s visit dur-ing the Homecoming, he wants her to connect to Haisla friends too, and hopes “it is the first of many trips back home over the coming years.”

Homecoming revival making waves of excitement

A scene from a Haisla Homecoming celebration gone by. Photo used with permission of Andrea Nisyok nee Grant

As people gather in Kitamaat Village for the Homecoming cel-ebrations, they’ll have the chance to enjoy one of the Haisla’s more recent but nonetheless iconic traditions.

The Spirit of Kit-lope Dancers have been telling stories through dance and song since the 90s, when a group of youth spent time in the Kitlope Valley for a camp.

“The group origi-nated back in the 90s, originated from the Kitlope where they had a rediscovery camp for the youth,” explained

one of the

current group leaders, Shelley Bolton.

Bolton has been with the dancers since 2006, and is among the 50 or so dancers the club currently has.

Yet de� ning what this ‘spirit’ is can be challenging.

We asked Bolton to explain what the Spirit of Kitlope is, and in short it’s a “you have to be there” sort of thing.

“Unless you come take part and sing and you dance, some people feel it, that ex-citement and feel that yearning to sing some more, like I felt years ago when I � rst start-ed,” she said. “It’s just something that you feel.” The dances and songs themselves have a very particular struc-ture.

For instance each dancer dances in their own clan line.

The Beavers, Ra-vens, Eagles and Killer Whales clans are rep-resented, and the Bea-ver is always � rst up, because they are the highest ranking clan in the Haisla community right now.

The song and dance routines all tell a story, whether it’s to honour the women, or the men, or the dance could be as a strength competition for the men.

As for where these songs and dances actu-ally come from, that’s a compli-

cated one to answer.“These songs come

from another place,” said Bolton. “Some people say they come from our ancestors and the only way I can ex-plain it is when I � rst started getting songs, I was told ‘there’s so many songs out there, � oating around from our ancestors and they’re waiting for the right person to come down to hold onto it.’”

Bolton hopes their dances will reach out to people who attend the Homecoming.

“We’ve performed many times and we’ve always touched a few people,” she

said. “Hope-fully we’ll get some

i n t e r e s t when every-body comes home.”

HAISLA HOMECOMING!

Continued from page 6“Paddling to Se-

attle would take two weeks, and the times during the World Wars, there would be a lot of war ships on patrol,” said Furlan, relating her family’s story.

“They [the Haisla] need to know stories like that,” she said.

The elders’ role at the Homecoming will not only connect people to their family, but also to cultural traditions. They’ll be cooking a variety of food, like fried breads, and Furlan said the elders who will be making the food are “the best bakers.”

Language will also be another important aspect of the home-coming, and elders who speak Haisla will help share the language to those who haven’t learned.

The number in Kitamaat Village itself who can speak � uent Haisla is shrinking. She said there had been around 126, but as of 2012 there are only 119.

Yet thanks to social media, Furlan said there is a generation of Haisla who are connecting, and just dying to learn more about the past.

Back to the man who turned to stone, who now dots the land-scape in the Kitlope Valley, Furlan said that when the wind blows a certain way, it “sounds like [his] dogs calling back.”

This weekend, the wind in Kitamaat Vil-lage will be blowing, and the children of the Haisla territory will be calling back.

Elders

Homecomer will share his artCameron Orr

Paul Windsor lives in Vancouver but his home of Kitamaat Village is never far from his heart.

Even though he makes some trips back home, his return trip for the Haisla Homecoming will be particularly enjoy-able for him.

In addition to seeing friends and family, Windsor will be hosting an art display in the Village, a collection of his and others’ works.

His contribution will be a series of

paintings depicting his own designs for long houses.

“Everybody and anybody who wants to contribute something is welcome too,” he adds.

He said he’s putting a lot of effort into the Homecoming because he sees it as important, no matter how many people will attend.

“I’m putting a lot of work into the event itself,” he said. “I’m not consider-

ing the turn out. If there’s 100 people or 1,000 people, it doesn’t really matter to me. It’s just about family, right?”

The Homecoming, to him, is more than just a reunion.

“I think it’s a coming together not only physically but spiritually. I really feel that it’s more than people coming together, it’s really a celebration of our nationhood and the spirituality behind the culture,” he said.

Haisla artist Paul Windsor.

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Wilf, on July 21, 2013 at the age of 88, surrounded by his loving family.Wilf was raised on the family orchard in Osoyoos, but after working in the orchards, he decided to change careers and drove a logging truck for a number of years. Deciding he needed adventure in his life, he moved up to Kitimat where he went to work at Alcan moving

through numerous positions, and even going to Australia to assist in the start up of Kurri Kurri, a new Alcan smelter.

Wilf’s family was his life and while in Kitimat, he was involved with the Boy Scout organization, church and everything that

involved his two children, including many trips down to the Okanagan for family gatherings, skiing at the cabin in Smithers and spending time at a summer cabin at Lakelse Lake.After retiring from Alcan in March 1985, Wilf and Kay moved back to Osoyoos. There he became involved with the church, enjoyed lawn bowling, golf, downhill skiing, cross country skiing and wood working projects. Wilf loved to dance at every function they attended and everyone knew he was around by his whistle.His dedication as “The Number One Grandpa” was watching his grandchildren, Kali, Kevin and Kristi grow and support them in whatever they were doing. Grandpa was the best taxi driver, sideline coach, ski instructor. He did it all. He always had the “biggest” smile of how proud he was of all of them.In Wilf’s world of meeting people, he touched everyone in a special way

and these memories of his kindness will live on in us all.Wilf was predeceased by his father, August Thebes, Mother, Else Thebes and son, William (Bill) Thebes.Wilf will always and forever be rememberd by his loving family, including his wife of 65 years, Kay Thebes; daughter Debbie Gehringer (Gordon); and his grandchildren Kali, Kevin and Kristi; stepbrother Ed Sturn (Omi), nephew Todd, niece Arlene and all the family that are helping at this time of loss.A celebration of Wilf’s life will be held at St. Christopher’s Anglican Church, Osoyoos on Friday, August 9 at 11:00am.

In lieu of fl owers, donations may be made: In Memory of Wilf Thebes:SOGH Acute Care, c/o South Okanagan General Hospital, 911 McKinney Rd. Oliver, BC V0H1T3. These donations will go towards the purchase of equipment at the South Okanagan General Hospital, where Wilf thought the staff was awesome.

Condolences and tributes may be directed to the family by visitingwww.nunes-pottinger.com.

During the 1950s and 1960s more than eight cabins were built on Clague (pronounced Clack by locals), all in the timbered subalpine area with at least one on the shores of a spar-kling tarn.

It was a magical place, says Dirk Men-del, in recalling some of the memories of his youth.

“We were able to get away from Kiti-mat and experience the freedom of a colder, consistent winter envi-ronment”, he says, add-ing that was something most others in Kitimat were unable to do.

With its perennial snowfields, Clague was Kitimat’s playground and, to ensure its sta-tus, Kitimat declared it Clague Mountain Mu-nicipal Park.

The cabins were scattered and some difficult to find. They included the Robert-son, Mendel, Heberle, Swiss and Ski Club cabins. Most of them were small and sim-plistic except for the Ski Club cabin.

The Robertson cabin - or First Cabin - was built by teacher Harley Robertson who eventually went on to be president of the BC Teachers Federation.

It was, as the name implies, the first cabin built in 1957 and was also the first encoun-tered on the uphill trek from Kitimat.

Dirk described his family’s cabin as being so small that his par-ents could easily tend the tiny, Sears-ordered wood stove while still lying in bed.

This cabin was just 10 feet by 10 feet with a door and not one win-dow.

Like the others, all of the Mendel cabin was built on site using sawn timbers and a few boards which had been packed in on succes-sive trips from town.

Their packing treks began from the usual parking lot by the old dump at the Goose Creek Bridge down by the Saunder’s trucking building.

Kitimat’s alpine Shangri la was best loved in the winter when pristine snow-fields provided endless kilometres of skiing and snowshoeing. Cab-in families and their guests would make plans for the full week-end and supplies came in by backpack. It was rare to have helicopter drop-offs.

Dirk says that find-ing their cabin in the depths of winter was half the battle and can remember digging down more than a me-tre to locate their cabin roof and chimney. That done, they then had to shovel out the cabin and its doorway.

Precious alpine firewood was actually deadwood debris, cut by Swede saw, and stored in every nook and cranny inside the cabin well before win-ter began.

Wintertime treks to the outhouse - or “thun-derbox” - were major expeditions carefully considered.

Clague Mountain in summer had some merits but it wasn’t un-til June and July that the meadows shed their mantle of snow.

Alpine flow-ers arrived soon af-terwards, accompa-nied by unwelcome hordes of mosquitoes and blackflies.

Cooler August nights would spell the end of the bugs and that was when alpine hiking was at its best with huckleberries and cranberries plentiful. The alpine lakes were also beckoning swim-ming holes with swim trunks optional.

From the cabin snowbowl area at about 3,200 feet, it wasn’t too far to Clague’s summit of 4,400 feet.

Most of the way was through treeless expanses of snow and rock. Some folks from town were able to claim to have skied in August.

For years the sum-mit of Clague had a green telecommunica-tions beacon.

Occasionally, hik-ers would cross through a valley to Squirrel Mountain. Squirrel had a large wooden cross erected on its summit which could be clearly seen from the townsite.

In 1960 govern-ment funding was al-

lotted to clear lower slopes and a parking lot for a proposed Clague Mountain ski hill.

Although there were road develop-ments and some clear-ing, this Chamber of Commerce project was never completed.

By the 1970s Clague’s cabins were in serious decline - Kitimat folk by then had other, easier alpine access at places like Smithers’ Hudson Bay Mountain and the Kit-sumkalum hill on the outskirts of Terrace. Also, there was a lot of interest in the east-ern side of the valley at Robinson Ridge.

By 1975 when the Mendel cabin was burned, all of the cab-ins were in disuse.

Today, remnants of the old Swiss cabin can still be seen on a rocky point on the shore of one of Clague’s alpine lakes.

Although Clague is no longer a munici-

pal park, it does have one fine cabin a little further down the slope within the forested area which can be accessed by foot or by machines, depending on the sea-son. The large cabin, operated by Kitimat’s

snowmobile club, was built by trained build-ers at Kitamaat Village.

This structure is a cadillac compared to its predecessors on the slopes of the mountain.

Today on Clague one can still experience

that get-away alpine experience as many Kitimat folk were able to do in the 1950s.

And with the ad-vent of snowmobiles, today’s winter access is a much less onerous commitment.

Kitimat Modernization ProjectBuilding the future together.

A message from the management of Rio Tinto Alcan’s Kitimat Modernization Project

We are proud of what we will be able to achieve together as a result of the Kitimat Modernization Project.”

“

Rio Tinto Alcan’s amended permit was appealed in May 2013, and we are working with the BC Ministry of Environment to provide any further information they might require as they go through this process.

The Kitimat Modernization Project will bring significant environmental and economic benefits to our region, securing well-paid, technically advanced jobs for the long term to help keep our community strong.

Rio Tinto Alcan has committed to a long term Environmental Effects Monitoring (EEM) program. The EEM program will continue to monitor four main areas – human health, vegetation, and terrestrial and aquatic environments, and have a clear plan to respond to any concerns that may arise. As part of this program we will also be continuing to make information about our environmental performance readily available to the community.

The health and safety of our Kitimat employees, their families and the wider community is a priority for Rio Tinto Alcan. We are proud of what we will be able to achieve together as a result of the Kitimat Modernization Project.

Over the past few months we have provided information in response to questions we have received about the impacts and benefits of the Kitimat Modernization Project (KMP), a $3.3+ billion project by Rio Tinto Alcan designed to modernize and increase production at the new smelter in Kitimat. As a company, we are excited about this next stage in our development and the ongoing contribution we will be able to make to our community.

These questions came out of discussions we had with attendees at public meetings, and we hope through both these meetings and the information we have shared in this series, we have been able to provide you with the facts about the project and the impact it will have on our community.

A 30-day public consultation period was held in March, where thecommunity was invited to ask questions and raise concerns.In evaluating the application, the BC Ministry of Environmentconsidered in-depth independent scientific assessments, technicalinformation, First Nations input and community feedback.

In April 2013 the Ministry approved Rio Tinto Alcan’s application foran amendment to our permit for waste discharge to accommodateincreased production at the Kitimat operation.

Rio Tinto Alcan is pleased to call Kitimat one of its host communities, and because of the new smelter, there will continue to be good jobs and a great place for our employees and their families to thrive.
