OPEN CANADA DAY NOON TO 4

By Tom FletcherBlack Press

Aboriginal communities across B.C. are celebrating a court ruling that redefines ownership of their traditional territory outside reserves.

The Supreme Court of Canada has upheld the Tsilhqot’in Nation’s claim to aboriginal title over 1,700 square km in the Nemiah Valley west of Williams Lake, in a landmark ruling with effects on land claims across the province.

In a unanimous decision, the country’s highest court rejected the B.C. government’s argument that aboriginal title should be restricted to settlement sites and other places frequently occupied by semi-nomadic aboriginal people before European contact.

Joe Alphonse, tribal chief of the Tsilhqot’in Nation, said the ruling is a victory in a struggle that had its roots in deadly conflict with a wave of gold seekers during the 1860s. He said the communities need more control over resources to support more people living on reserves.

“We didn’t fight in this case to separate from Canada,” Alphonse told a news conference in Vancouver Thursday. “We fought in this case to get recognized, to be treated as equals in a meaningful way.”

Settlement sites and others used for hunting and fishing were

exhaustively studied in a 2003 B.C. trial that granted broad title but was later overturned by the B.C. Court of Appeal.

“The Province’s criticisms of the trial judge’s findings on the facts are primarily rooted in the erroneous thesis that only specific, intensively occupied areas can support Aboriginal title,” the eight Supreme Court of Canada justices agreed in a unanimous ruling released Thursday.

The Tsilhqot’in case was strengthened by evidence that “prior to the assertion of sovereignty the Tsilhqot’in people repelled other people from their land and demanded permission from outsiders who wished to pass over it,” the judges wrote.

The case began in 1983 when the B.C. government issued timber permits for the region and the Xeni Gwet’in, one of six Tsilhqot’in communities, went to court to stop the logging.

Haida Nation president Peter Lantin said the Tsilhqot’in case strengthens his island community’s title claim, which is being prepared for court.

The Haida claim includes the surrounding ocean off B.C.’s North Coast, which Lantin expects

to use against plans for oil tankers from the Enbridge Northern Gateway proposal.

Despite the long-running dispute and the Tsilhqot’in Nation’s refusal to take part in treaty talks, the B.C. aboriginal relations ministry signed a three-year “stewardship agreement” with the group June 10.

The agreement gives the Tsilhqot’in $670,000 per year to implement a forestry strategy and other resource development.

B.C. Attorney General Suzanne Anton said the Tsilhqot’in ruling, like other aboriginal title cases, emphasizes that negotiated settlements are preferable to court action to settle claims in the majority of the province that are not covered by treaties.

NDP leader John Horgan said the decision shows the B.C. government should have accepted the 2007 decision by B.C. Supreme Court Justice David Vickers.

“Instead, the B.C. Liberal government wasted millions of scarce tax dollars and created seven more years of uncertainty for investors and communities, by blindly pursuing a legal theory that was unanimously and soundly rejected today by the Supreme Court of Canada,” Horgan said.

This is the golden age of do-it-yourself projects. Whether it’s to save a buck or just because you saw it done on YouTube (and it looked easy), there are tons of resources allowing the average person to complete renovations on their own.

A side effect of so many resources is that many DIY projects appear much simpler than they actually are. None more so than exterior painting.

The most cost-effective solution for enhancing curb appeal and maintaining resale value, exterior painting is also a necessary step in protecting your home. Paint and caulking are

the first line of defense against the elements, yet they tend to get overlooked, which can lead to extremely expensive repairs. Professionals with experience in home exteriors can typically pinpoint areas where the integrity of the building may be compromised and help you address the issue. There’s a lot more involved, however, than you may realize.

Before even getting to the painting stage, you first have to do your due diligence with the prep work. A beautiful, clean paint finish is the direct result of diligent scraping, sanding, washing and hole-filling. This prep work can be quite laborious depending on your home’s exterior surface area – especially if you’ve never done it before!

Determine how much time you’re willing to spend on the project – most people decide that it’s worthwhile hiring a professional and enjoying their free time instead. This also avoids the tendency to rush through the prep work, which undermines the entire paint job.

Before rushing out to buy paint, determine exactly how much of your own time and labour you’re willing to invest. If you do decide to hire a professional, don’t forget to research your contractor to get the best value for this type of project.

Exterior painting is harder than you think

Ahh, summer. As the weather warms and sunny days finally start outnumbering rainy ones, people all over the Valley can be found shedding layers, laughing more freely and taking their recreation outdoors.

Yoga is one such recreational activity that can offer an entirely different experience when enjoyed under the open sky. For example, here’s an email that one of my students sent me after an outdoor yoga class last week:

“Talk about restorative yoga,” she wrote. “Not just the body, but the mind, the soul, the soles, the morale . . . I could go on and on. Deep, happy sigh: aaaaaaah!”

How’s that for a testament to outdoor yoga? If you already have things in your life that create those “deep, happy sighs,” that’s something to celebrate. A balanced life leaves plenty of space for introspection, relaxation and rejuvenation.

If you already attend yoga classes, you know firsthand what I’m talking about. If you’ve never tried it outside of the studio, though, I encourage you to attend an outdoor class this summer. Taking yoga outside adds a whole new dimension to the practice. True, there can be distractions, like barking dogs, planes flying overhead and uneven ground that can make for some interesting poses. However, most people find that these distractions are vastly outweighed by the warm sun, fresh air, expansive sky overhead and the feel and fragrance of grass underfoot. Yoga indoors can be transformative; yoga outdoors much more so. Now that warmer weather has arrived, you’ll find a variety of outdoor yoga classes offered in the Comox Valley. A good place to start is www.catherinereid.ca.
