ONCE UPON A TIME...
Brooks family seeking truth
BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
The family of Justin Brooks, the 21-year-old whose body was pulled from Prince Rupert Har-bour on March 4, say they have lost confidence in the RCMP and are now turning to residents for more infor-mation on what happened the night Justin lost his life.
RCMP say the coroner’s ser-vice determined Justin did not have any seri-ous injuries that would have contributed to his death, and that the cause of death is drowning.
The family alleges RCMP have conducted in-terviews with people believed to have seen Justin the night he lost his life and RCMP told them the stories of those involved appear to match-up: A group of people assaulted Justin and left him by the old CN station, but he was alive when they left him there and nobody knows how he ended up in the harbour.
Rupert real estate market smokingFirst quarter rings up staggering $18 million in sales
BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
Prince Rupert’s real estate market is booming.
In the first three months of 2013, 66 properties, worth a combined $18.1 million, sold in Prince Rupert, including 48 single family properties, two townhouses and three parcels of vacant land. That number is up by 38 properties and $14 million compared to the first three months of 2012.
The numbers also put Prince
Rupert at the top of the northwest when it comes to realty sales. In Terrace there were 60 properties worth $11.5 million sold, while Kitimat had 18 fewer properties sold for $3 million less, falling
from 78 properties last year to 60 this year.
“It has been a very strong start to the year and a very good quarter... This increase happened quicker than I thought it would
this year. I thought we would see this kind of movement in the third quarter, but it came a lot sooner,” said Keith Lambourne of Royal LePage Prince Rupert, noting both the residential and commercial sectors were going strong.
“Commercial sales have been a desert for the past several years, but now there is so much interest in town that people are buying. They’re not just kicking the tires, they’re buying.”
“They’re not just kicking tires, they’re buying.”
- Keith Lambourne
“We’ve lost all hope in
the RCMP.”

The average selling price of homes in Prince Rupert was also at a three-year high. Homes in the first quarter of 2013 had an average selling price of $185,918 compared to $168,907 in the first quarter of 2012 and $171,909 in 2011. Lambourne said offers are coming in frequently for homes between $150,00 and $200,000, with a good selection available in the over $200,000 range as well.
At the end of March, there were 220 properties for sale on the Multiple Listing Service, down from 231 last year but still the highest in the region. Despite the number of properties still listed, Lambourne said there is no reason to expect the real estate market to
slow down. “I don’t see why this couldn’t
be sustained for the rest of the year and beyond. There are too many multi-billion dollar interests coming forward in the region for this not to be sustained,” he said.
“Charles Hays may have been 100 years early, but I think his vision for Prince Rupert is starting to come around.”

Despite the alleged assault, RCMP have told the family that foul play has been ruled out in his death.
“It doesn’t make sense that he was beaten up and left a few metres from the harbour, but ended up being found in the water... Every-thing the RCMP have said to us doesn’t add up at all,” said Justin’s aunt Sheri Latimer.
“They seem to have just given up on the case. We’re devastated. The whole family is choked.”
However, RCMP say the investigation is on-going, and they really hope to get away from a number of rumours that have been circulating through town and social media related to the death.
“RCMP investigators and Prince Rupert Victim Services continue to work closely with the victim’s family and friends,” stated Const. Lesley Smith, North District media relations officer.
“Police are still trying to determine the true facts of the case from rumours that have been circulating through social media. False information or speculation can hinder an in-vestigation and therefore concrete evidence and fact-based information is essential for po-lice to determine whether Justin Brooks met with foul play or if this was simply a tragic accident.”
The family is now looking at hiring a pri-vate investigator, and launching a campaign for “Justice for Justin”.
“We’re still looking for information,
but we’ve lost all hope in the RCMP,” said Latimer.
The investigation has been made a priority for the RCMP Forensic Unit and the general duty members in the community, Smith said.
The body of 21-year-old Justin Brooks was discovered in the Prince Rupert Harbour in the early morning hours of March 4.

Neighbours keeping quiet over Rupert land grab plans
Boundary expansion fight still expected
BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
Prince Rupert Mayor Jack Mussallem called the City’s proposed boundary expansion a historic moment, but not all of Prince Rupert’s neighbours are as ecstatic about the idea.
If the City is successful in its efforts the expansion would take in three areas of land surrounding Prince Rupert. The first area is to the west and includes Kinahan Islands and most of Digby Island, northwest of Prince Rupert across the harbour to the west of Metlakatla, and east to include Prince Rupert’s watershed, meeting Port Edward’s boundaries.
Zeno Krekic, Prince Rupert city planner, has reiterated the expansion isn’t trying to assert land ownership, but simply rule regulations of the land.
The District of Port Edward met with Mayor Jack Mussallem and Dan Rodin, acting city manager, to discuss the extension last month.
District of Port Edward Mayor Dave MacDonald said they are waiting to receive a referral from the City of Prince Rupert, and will give their opinion of the expansion at that time. At this point the district isn’t
against the entire expansion, just the area encroaching on Port Edward’s boundaries.
“We believe in working together, and I’m sure we’ll be able to iron out where things will be,” he said.
Barry Pages, board chair of the Skeena-Queen Charlotte Regional District, declined to comment explaining the board hasn’t had the opportunity to go over the referral yet, but will when they hold their next meeting on April 19. Included on the regional district board are representatives from Dodge Cove and Crippin Cove, two communities not included in the expansion, but nearing it.
Harold Leighton, chief executive officer of Metlakatla, was unavailable to comment on the proposed expansion.
Lax Kw’alaams Chief Councillor Garry Reece also did not return requests for comment.
“I’m sure we’ll be able to iron out where things will be...”

News
I first heard of this concept from David Black a number of years ago.
At the time I was skeptical of its chances. My initially negative attitude was based mainly on my experience of 10 years service on the board of directors of Imperial Oil. Since I was accustomed to the discussion of petroleum economics centered in Calgary, I saw no need for a refinery in Kitimat. That attitude was based on the fact that there had
not been a new refinery built in North America in many years. And any needed increase in petroleum production was achieved by expansion of existing refineries throughout North America. But after my service with Imperial Oil, I went on to serve 4 years at Canfor which led to my nine visits to China in
search of lumber markets. My exposure to the phenomenal expansion
of China’s economy opened my eyes to the true merit of the Kitimat refinery concept. It made me realize that it would not be just another refinery relying on the North America market but rather a refinery that would supply the vast appetite of China for petroleum products. The challenge will be to draw the attention of Asian investors who would see the value to this investment. It appears that David Black, after many years of effort, is nearing an agreement that could provide the vast capital infusion needed to make this refinery initiative a reality.
The appetite for oil products for all Asia will continue to grow and the Kitimat refinery is ideally situated to take advantage . Asian countries, especially China, are very interested in securing sustainable supply of resources that will flow freely without undue trade barriers like surprises with taxes, regulations or tariffs. Canada has a good reputation as a free trade country that can be relied on as a dependable source of supply. Now is a very opportune time to attract the vast investment needed to make the Kitimat refinery go ahead.

The Kitimat Refinery Project
Jim ShepardGUEST VIEW
The City of Prince Rupert seems to have found itself between a rock and a hard place with this year’s budget.
The deficit still sits at around $500,000, and a solution to balance the books needs to be found and finalized by the time May 15 rolls around. At the last meeting council was presented with a number options, none of which seem appealing.
On one hand you have the prospect of raising taxes again after tax increases in almost every year in memory. This isn’t going to sit well with taxpayers who have, for the most part, seen assessments increase this year and who already complain about how much they have to pay just to live in Prince Rupert.
Frankly, Prince Rupert taxpayers have been bailing the City out for years on end and, with the spectre of a big increase coming when the new emergency services building comes, need a break.
On the other hand council could put their own employees on the hook, shutting down City Hall for an extra day to save on payroll. This would be fairly devastating to those workers, amounting to essentially a 20 per cent pay cut, would raise numerous union-related concerns and staff members would likely find a way to express their disdain. From the taxpayer
perspective, though, the City could be operated as any business would be — when times are tough you have to make cutbacks to stay alive because you can only increase the cost to the consumer (taxpayer) so much.
Another option is the money could be taken out of the $1.7 million reserve. This would certainly have the least visible impact, but if a major piece of infrastructure failed between now and the next fiscal year the City could find itself in an even bigger hole than it is now.
So putting the burden on the taxpayers once again will likely lead to people facing leaner times personally, cutting the hours of City staff would impact its operations but save the taxpayer
another increase, and taking from reserves leaves the City financially vulnerable at a time when Mayor Jack Mussallem says bankruptcy is a very real possibility.
When things get tough, businesses have to make tough decisions. It’s no different with the City of Prince Rupert. Passing the buck to the people who use the service should be taken off the table if council expects residents to pay for future needs.
Whether you agree or not, make sure you let council know your thoughts on April 15.
City council must stop passing the buck

Robust stewardship plan protects harbourPrince Rupert is
widely known for its beautiful and
pristine natural environ-ment.
With the rapid growth of port-related business in recent years, and the potential for large-scale development and population influx on the horizon, ensuring Prince Rupert’s environmental integrity will be an im-portant challenge over the next decade.
The Prince Rupert Port Authority (PRPA) recognizes the value and importance of the surrounding wilderness and ecology, and remains committed to fulfilling its legislated mandate of enabling trade in an environmentally, socially and economically sustainable manner.
In addition to the regulatory requirements already established for port operations and development, PRPA is going beyond what is required to become a leader in sustainability and stewardship.
This is being accomplished through the creation of PRPA’s 2020 Environmental Sustainability Plan (ESP). This plan ensures best practices and procedures are integrated into port operations and are then met or surpassed. The ESP also provides for documentation of environmental conditions, monitoring of those conditions, and the assessment and mitigation of any adverse impacts that are identified.
One of the first ways this plan is being carried out is with an environmental footprint study, conducted by SNC–Lavalin Inc., Environmental Division. Beginning in 2012, the study aims to determine a current baseline of conditions around air, noise, water and land, with management plans and recommended actions created for each of these components.
Among the strategic programs that provide actions for the ESP is Green Marine, the voluntary marine industry initiative that emphasizes improvement of environmental performance. The first West Coast participant in the program in 2010, PRPA has been asked to chair Green Marine’s newly-formed West Coast Advisory Committee, and has adopted a number of Green Marine’s priority issues into the ESP. These key issues include air emissions and greenhouse gases, cargo residues, waste management, aquatic invasive species, and community impacts like noise and dust.
Several programs and actions have already been instituted that allow for baseline conditions to be established and for potential changes to be monitored. Last year PRPA partnered with BC’s Ministry of Environment to erect a new weather monitoring station, which will help determine the best location for an air quality monitoring station. PRPA Operations staff are also engaged in water quality sampling at a number of sites around the Port of Prince Rupert’s inner and outer harbour, the results of which will inform the baseline conditions to measure against and determine any changes going forward.
With the 2020 Environmental Sustainability Plan, there is a great deal of work to be done to gather necessary data, create new monitoring programs, establish new partnerships, and much more. The integration and implementation of the ESP’s priority programs and management system is establishing a robust framework for environmental stewardship.

David Black, with his years of diligence, deserves our appreciation for displaying the foresight and courage to invest his time, money and reputation to help bring along this huge initiative.
The positive merits of the Kitimat refinery are so profound that this project is really beyond any political persuasion. Any and all supporters of NDP, Liberal, Conservative or even Green should see the tremendous benefits that would come to B.C. with this project.
This initiative will involve the investment of many billions of dollars. That’s for sure. It’s hard for any of us to visualize a million let alone a billion of any thing. So lets look at the “ on the ground” facts of such an undertaking for all of us in BC.
Lets start with the big picture. When it comes to the benefits of a petroleum cycle from well exploration to the gas station, the jurisdiction that hosts the refining process enjoys a huge portion of the value addition to the raw material. For the KRC Project that would mean several thousand mostly trade union jobs for the multi-year term of the construction phase.
It would also mean the creation of over 3000 permanent jobs for the operation and supply support of the refinery when running. This refinery would be processing 175 million barrels per year which means the tax revenue that could go toward healthcare, education, vital services for the disabled and elderly would be immense.
But job creation and tax revenue is not the only desirable feature of the KRC.
It also would provide much lower risk to the
marine environment. The shipments out of the refinery would be finished product like aviation fuel, gasoline and diesel These products if ever spilt would be much less impactful on the marine environment. They would also be transported in smaller ships.
I know there are those on both sides of the political aisle that address this as a political issue. And I would disagree with both. This is a project that can be attractive to all political stripes. Trade unions would see a significant increase in jobs and memberships. Hospitals and schools across the province would see an improvement in government funding. Business activity especially in the challenged north west BC would be very positively impacted. And those with a concern for the threat of marine spills would see a significantly reduced exposure for the environment.
Based on the huge positive impact this initiative could have on B.C., I think the question should not be if we want it....but rather, how can we help make sure that the petroleum world sees this as an attractive way to invest billions of shareholder capital.

Letters to the editor
Editor:Regarding the front page article of the April
3, The Northern View, ‘Council toying with City Hall closure to meet deficit’.
After reading the entire article, the alternative with least impact would be to take the $500,000 out of the $1.7 million accumulated operating fund surplus from past years.
That way the city is not in the ‘red’ for that amount.
Also as Dan Rodin warned it wouldn’t be fiscally prudent to use all of these funds, so don’t use all of them, just the amount needed to get the budget out of the red.
It would be crippling to have to pay more taxes. Everything seems to cost more to live in Rupert as it is now.
That’s the way I see it,Elaine Calli

Kitkatla taking feds to court over LNG licenceClaim there was no consultation on Kitimat project
BY SHAUN THOMAS PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
The Gitxaala Nation is asking the Federal Court to reverse a decision to approve an export licence for LNG Canada, which is planning to build a terminal in Kitimat.
A March 26 filing by the Gitxaala names both the Government of Canada and LNG Canada Development Inc. and seeks a judicial review of the decision. The Gitxaala are seeking a declaration that the government breached its responsibility to consult with them about the licence and either a revoking of the licence or a stay on
the decision to issue it until consultation has taken place.
A licence to export 670 million tonnes of LNG was approved by the National Energy Board on Feb. 4. With the licence in place, the public comment period of the environmental assessment process got underway on April 2.
The Gitxaala say the government did not give notice it was considering the licence, did not give the Gitxaala an opportunity to comment on the proposed approval and did not consider or incorporate the views and concerns of the Nation in approving the licence. Those concerns, which include the
impact increased marine traffic would have on the environment and the ability of the Gitxaala to carry on activities like harvesting, were outlined in a letter sent to the Ministers of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Transport Canada and the Ministry of Environment on Sept. 14.
However, the Reason for Decision issued by the National Energy Board does refer to concerns raised by the Gitxaala.
“In reply, LNG Canada stated that the Board is not required to delay issuance of the Licence until approvals for the Terminal are sought or obtained. LNG
Canada also submitted that the issue before the Board is whether Canadians will be able to meet their reasonably foreseeable requirements for gas if the licence is approved,” it reads.
The Gitxaala are not the only First Nation group raising a red flag when it comes to LNG exports. In March the Gitga’at Nation of Hartley Bay said it felt the government was pushing through licences without allowing time for the Nation to perform its due diligence.
LNG Canada is a collaboration between Shell, Korea Gas, Mitsubishi and PetroChina and is one of three terminals proposed for the Kitimat area.

The City of Prince Rupert will be moving forward with two new faces in the top management spots at City Hall.
Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Dan Rodin, who has been the CFO for the City for the past six years, is retiring on May 15. His departure comes just over three months after City Manager Gord Howie left to take a job with the District of Sooke, which has put Rodin in the dual roles of CFO and Acting City Manager since February.
“It was just time to retire,” he said, adding the date of the retirement is no coincidence.
“I picked May 15 because that is the day the budget and taxation bylaws have to be passed, so from an accounting position it makes sense to go then.”
The posting for the CFO position closes on April 30, and Rodin said resumes are already coming in to City Hall. However, Mayor Jack Mussallem said that position won’t be filled until the new city manager is in place.
“While council is the elected body the chief administrative officer (CAO), or city manager,
looks after the everyday working operations. All employees work for the CAO and the CAO works for council. It will be up to the CAO, with input from council, to hire the new treasurer,” he said, adding there is not yet a time line for the filling of the city manager position.
“That is in process and council is continuing to work on hiring that position. But it also depends on the person and their time frame for relocating.”
Mussallem thanked Rodin for his expertise over the past six years as Prince Rupert went through significant change.
“He took the job when the community had more challenges than it does today because we didn’t have the light at the end of the tunnel with port development that we have today,” he said.
Although retiring, people can still expect to see Rodin around town as he doesn’t plan to leave Prince Rupert.

More than 30 of the Charles Hays Secondary School class of 2013 put on the Grad Fashion Show “Once Upon a Time at Charles Hays” last week. The performance was set-up similar to a variety show, including singing, dancing, acting and modelling. The annual show assists in raising money for both the graduation ceremony and prom.

Safeway kicking off Easter Seals campaignBY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
For the month of April Canada Safeway’s across the country, including Prince Rupert’s Safeway, are putting on its annual fund and awareness raising campaign in support of Easter Seals and Special Olympics Canada.
Throughout the month Safeway customers can donate $2 to the campaign and in return will receive five Air Mile Reward Miles. Money collected will help send
children with disabilities to Easter Seals Camp this summer, and will support programs offered through Special Olympics throughout the country, including Prince Rupert’s Special Olympics program.
Additionally, the store will be raffling off a BBQ at the end of April.
Prince Rupert’s Safeway is hoping to raise $8,000 this month, having already raised approximately $2,500. Last year’s April campaign raised more than $1.6 million across Canada.
Martina Perry / The Northern ViewPictured is Prince Rupert’s Special Olympic program coordinator Rudy Kelly, Ranjit Gill, fi rst assistant manager of Prince Rupert’s Safeway, Robbie Jongewaard and Jamie Alexander of the Prince Rupert Ravens Special Olympic basketball team, Dale Segin, Safeway manager, and cashier Jennifer Fuller.

Runners ready for gloryBY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
With five weeks left in the 13 week Learn to Run program, participants are making strides toward being able to compete in the 10 kilometre Glory Days run in May.
“This is the last recovery week where they still have lots of time to practice, then it will kick up to really get that distance in,” Amber Sheasgreen, one of the program’s coaches, said.
Learn to Run started in the middle of February, and culminates around the same time as the annual Crest Glory Days running event. The program follows a 13 week gradual walk and run plan developed by the Sport Medicine Council of British Columbia that helps build up partaker’s running endurance. The group meets three times a week, with just under 10 experienced runners volunteering their time to act as coaches.
This year more than 80 people registered for the program, with more than half of the participants still regularly attending.
“Some people just want to try running, for some it’s their kick-off for the year to lose weight, and others want to get involved and meet runners. We’re promoting a healthy lifestyle. Anyone can do it, they just need to set goals for themselves,” Sheasgreen said.
“The first time we had a 10 minute lap we had a lot of really nervous people, but at the end we had a lot of good feedback… It’s all about pacing yourself.”
Registration is now starting for Glory Days, which will take place on May 11, with entry forms available at the Crest Hotel, Farwest Sports or online at www.rupertrunners.com. Those taking part in Glory Days can chose to run five or 10 kilometre run, or five kilometre walk.
But first the 32nd annual Half Marathon and 8 Kilometre race will take place this Sunday starting at the civic centre, with the half marathon starting at 1 p.m. followed by the 8 kilometre at 2 p.m.
People can register up to the morning of the race, however organizers prefer if people do it at least a day prior. The entry fee includes a T-shirt.
Martina Perry / The Northern ViewMembers of the Learn to Run program have been hitting the track and hitting the road in preparation for the 10 kilometre Crest Glory Days event on May 11.
Gala wraps-up skating season
BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
The Prince Rupert Skating Club will be entertaining with its year-end gala this weekend, presenting Candyland in the arena of the Jim Ciccone Civic Centre.
Skating students from all levels of the skating club will take the ice, presenting routines with a common theme of candy and everything sweet.
“They worked so hard throughout the year so it would be great for the community to come out and support them and acknowledge the work they do. It’s going to be a really great show,” Kate Toye, a representative from the Prince Rupert Skating Club, said.
Sheri Pringle, head coach of the club, and freelance coach Tamara Ward also worked hard throughout
the season helping students with their on-ice skills. The two choreographed the numbers that will be showcased in the Candyland gala.
There were approximately 80 skaters in the club this year, but because of the lack of ice in the beginning of the season the club did have to fight for those numbers.
Despite a late start to the season Pringle said skaters performed well at various competitions throughout the year.
While the skating season is drawing close to its end, the club would like to remind people that new members and volunteers are always welcomed for the coming year.
Tickets for the Candyland Skating Gala are available at Oceanside Sports, or at the door on the night of the event.
Skaters will take the ice at 7 p.m. on April 13.
Grads hitting the iceBY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
Prior to the amalgamation of high schools, graduating students from both Charles Hays Secondary School and Prince Rupert Secondary School would face off annually in a game of hockey to raise money for the two schools’ joint prom celebration.
With Charles Hays now the lone high school in Prince Rupert, Grad Parent Committees have found a way to keep the grad hockey game tradition alive.
“Since the high schools amalgamated into one a couple of years ago we’ve been trying to get the rivalry going between the grads and upcoming grads… It’s always more exciting when there’s a rivalry,” said Tina Cann, who is helping organize the game with Tezi King.
The Muckers, consisting of 17 graduating students from Charles Hays Secondary School, will take on the Boys with Wood, made up of Grade 11 and 10 students from CHSS and Grade 9 students from Prince Rupert Middle School.
Grade 12 students Austyn King, Jordan Aubee and Colten Cann were confident the Muckers will come out victorious when they sat down with The Northern View earlier this week.
“We’re older, stronger, and we’ve been going to school longer so we know more than them,” Aubee said.
“Going out as champions means more to us. We’re not losing, it’s non-negotiable,” King added.
Players from both teams are accustomed to each other’s hockey skills, as they have been on Prince Rupert Minor Hockey teams with each other for most of their lives. The All Star game will give graduating students an opportunity for one last exhibition game against their fellow minor hockey players.
The game is being sponsored by the Prince Rupert Minor Hockey Association, City Furniture, 2nd Avenue Medical Clinic, The Electrician and Panago. The local groups and businesses donated cash and prizes for the fundraising match.
The doors will open at 6 p.m., with the puck dropping at 6:30 p.m.

BY SHAUN THOMASPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
Almost 300 delegates from around the world will be in Prince Rupert next week for the National Aboriginal Business Opportunities Conference.
This is the third year City has hosted the event, this year running from April 16-18, and organizer Geoff Greenwell of 2G Group said it has only gotten bigger over the years.
“The conference is hugely popular this year. We are sold out and there is a wait list of about 100 people. There is so much interest in Prince Rupert with the resource boom that is coming, so the up-take for this year has been phenomenal... We’re sold out at 290 delegates. There were actually only 272 seats available but we were able to create 18 more spaces,” he said.
“We have delegates from Asia, the U.S., Europe and all over Canada. It’s really a wide range of people. Prince Rupert is very firmly on the map when it comes to international interest and investment opportunities.”
As well as delegates, key players from the energy field will be in attendance. On one panel alone there is Evan Saugstad of Spectra Energy, BG Group Canada acting president Steve Swaffield, Coastal GasLink Pipeline VP Robert Kendel and Pacific Northwest LNG president Greg Kist.
“All of the big players circling Prince Rupert are going to be there... There are also going to be a lot of small and mid-size Canadian companies looking to get contract work and representatives from First Nations in the region including the Tsimshian, Haida, Haisla, Gitxsan, Nisga’a, Tahltan and more,” said Greenwell.
The keynote speakers include CEO of The Blended
Capital Group investment firm Paul Clements-Hunt who will be discussing project financing and First Resources Impact Ventures president Laurie Sterritt to discuss “First Resources Impact Ventures”.
Greenwell said response to the conference among the
Prince Rupert business community has also been strong with all three major sponsors – Northern Savings Credit Union, the Prince Rupert Port Authority and Ridley Terminals – being located in the region.
“We’re really looking forward to a great event in Prince Rupert,” said Greenwell.

DISTRICT OF PORT EDWARD
A14 • Northern View • April 10, 2013 www.thenorthernview.com
BY SHAUN THOMASPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
Port Edward could soon be home to a major camp development to house workers in the region.
PTI Group Inc., a company that provides housing to workers across the globe, is in discussions with the District of Port Edward to purchase a 40-acre parcel of land for $1 million. PTI Group vice-president of business development Sean Crockett said coming to the North Coast was an easy decision to make.
“Our business is driven by major project construction in areas that are likely to see a major influx of workers... Port Edward is strategically located in close proximity to approximately five major projects,” he said.
“We are currently in the due diligence phase of the project, so looking at the feasibility, the site preparation and the community infrastructure to support a housing camp. All of that will help determine the potential of the site, but the potential of the development there depends on the future of the proposed projects, and many of those are in the due diligence phase as well.”
The camps developed by PTI Group Inc. are modular in format, but the development of the site opens up the area for future development by putting things like water and sewer in place.
“Construction is done in a modular format to allow us to add spaces or decrease spaces as demand
requires... We build modular in construction, but build for the long term,” said Crockett
From the municipal side of things, the District of
Port Edward is also in the early legal stages of any possible sale to the company.
“Right now we have to legally post notice of our intent to sell the land, but they also have to do their due diligence,” said Port Edward chief administrative officer Ron Bedard, noting there are a number of conditions on the sale.
“Legally it probably won’t close until the end of June, so there is some time involved there.”
PTI Group is also looking to construct a major housing development in Kitimat to accommodate workers needed for the various projects proposed in that community.
“We are currently in the due diligence phase...”

RTI has its second biggest month on recordTraffic through Fairview Terminal down 32 per cent this March
By Shaun ThomaSPRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
While Ridley Terminals recorded its second highest monthly volume in the terminal’s history in March, Fairview Terminal saw a sharp year-over-year decline.
This March the container terminal handled 35,424 TEUs compared to 52,284 last March, a drop of 32 per cent. Imports last month were down 43 per cent compared to 2012 numbers, while exports were down 19 per cent.
“The moderate volume decrease at Fairview Terminal in March was attributed to both the timing of the Chinese New Year holidays whereby container lines consolidated loading in Asia to pre and post-holiday services, and CN Rail experiencing some winter operating issues attributed to an extended cold period in the prairies that resulted in railcar shortages country-wide,” explained the Prince Rupert Port Authority in a statement about the decline.
“This contributed to the Port of Prince Rupert only hosting 10 container ship operations in March rather than the average 13 to 15 calls normally accommodated. Despite this drop
in volume in March 2013 relative to March 2012, the Port of Prince Rupert year-to-date figures are holding strong with a 6 per cent increase in total TEUs compared to the first quarter of 2012.”
However, the terminal remains slightly ahead of last year through the first quarter. So far in 2013 there have been 134,975 TEUs pass through Prince Rupert compared to 127,785 in the first three months of 2012, a difference of six per cent. Imports are up five per cent this year, with exports up seven per cent.
Ridley Terminals handle the second highest volume in history in March, moving 1.44 million tonnes of coal. That number is up 26 per cent from last March’s total of 1.145 million tonnes and is driven by an 86 per cent increase in metallurgical coal and an 89 per cent increase in in petroleum coke. The terminal is on track to smash the record-breaking year experienced in 2012, with total tonnage up 61 per cent to sit at 3.13 million tonnes compared to 1.95 million tonnes last year.
Also up is Prince Rupert Grain. The terminal handled 476,156 tonnes last month compared to 453,215 tonnes, a difference of five per cent. So far
this year Prince Rupert Grain is up 10 per cent, moving 1.4 million tonnes compared to 1.28 million tonnes last year.
Following a strong start to the year, the number of logs being shipped from the harbour fell two per cent this March. However, the total is still up 63 per cent compared to last year.
Overall the Prince Rupert Port
Authority is on pace to shatter last year’s record. So far this year there have been 5.94 million tonnes moved through Prince Rupert compared to 4.53 million tonnes last year, an increase of 31 per cent.
Also of note, while traffic aboard BC Ferries is up five per cent, so far this year traffic through the Alaska Marine Highway System is down 19 per cent.

Welcome back from the Easter break. We were in the middle of a kitchen reno while I was away, of course, and I am happy to say it looks beautiful. We have a new dishwasher (ours was 30 years old) a slick new island countertop, two new
undermount sinks and a fabulous faucet and spray nozzle. Our old counter was pretty much disintegrated and our leaky faucet and old double sink design meant water everywhere. Thank you Marion and Heather for going that extra mile for us during the reno, very much appreciated by myself and everyone.
Josie is starting to ramp up her efforts regarding the upcoming Tea and Bazaar, Saturday, May 11, you may be getting a phone call regarding the hamper donations.

Police and firefighters face-off for ALSFifth annual game done in honour of Butch Duffy
BY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
Prince Rupert firefighters came out way on top at the fifth annual Guns and Hoses charity game on Saturday, but both the RCMP and fire rescue crew members involved were playing for much more than a trophy and bragging rights.
More than $2,000 was raised at the game for the ALS Society of Canada. The Hoses chose the charity this year, selecting ALS in honour of Prince Rupert firefighter Butch Duffy who was diagnosed with the progressive neuromuscular disease.
“We wanted to win the game for him. It helped motivate us,” Prince Rupert firefighter Ryan Fuzi said.
After the puck dropped on Saturday evening Fuzi was the first player to get a goal on the board, his first of four throughout the game.
But the Guns retaliated shortly after, with JP Bergeron tying the score followed by Steve Roe bringing the RCMP up to 2 to 1 lead.
Both teams were pushing themselves hard, but with under a minute to go in the first period the Hoses’ Remo Pomponio evened the score once again.
The remainder of the game was in the Hoses’ favour.
Within the first minute of the second Fuzi scored again, putting the firefighters in the lead 3-2, and later their fourth goal when James Morrow shot the puck past the Guns’ goalie Jay Collins.
While the RCMP got a couple close shots in the second, they just couldn’t score. The Hoses’ did not have that same difficulty, with Justin Mederios getting the team their fifth goal, bringing the score to 5-2.
Firefighters secured their lead even further in the final period, with Fuzi scoring the first goal of the period to comple a hat trick, followed by Mederios. Fuzi scored the final goal of the game, brining the final score to 8-2.
“We wanted to win the game for him. It helped motivate us.”

“Crying for Medicine” tops its categoryBY MARTINA PERRY PRINCE RUPERT / The Northern View
Prince Rupert master carver Dale Marie Campbell is celebrating her recent success at a world-acclaimed Arizona art competition in which she placed first in her category.
The Heard Museum Guild Indian Fair and Market in Phoenix took place for three days last month and included more than 700 aboriginal artists from all over North America. The annual festival sees an arrangement of art including jewelry, textiles, sculpture, pottery, paintings, carvings, with winners being selected by a jury.
Campbell’s “Crying for Medicine” piece made out of alder wood, abalone, acrylic paint and ermine fur won first place in the Non-Pueblo wood carvings category of the competition, with Campbell saying she nearly fell out of her chair when her name was announced.
“I was really surprised,” the Tahltan and Tlinget artist said.
Although her surprise was unwarranted. Campbell’s brother Terrance, who lives in Phoenix, had been encouraging her to enter the Heard Museum Guild Indian Fair and Market for some time, and when she finally did in 2012, two of her pieces placed at the annual art competition.
Campbell was awarded the second place prize in the Diverse Art Forms category for her “Eagle Dance” design that was sandblasted onto glass. The artist was inspired to create this piece after observing two eagles grabbing each other’s claws, part of the eagle mating ritual, right outside of her own Prince Rupert home window.
Campbell also received a honorary mention in the same category for her “Volcano Woman” piece, which she created out of alder wood, acrylic paint, and an argillite inlay, which she received permission from a Haida elder to use.
It’s takes Campbell an average of seven months to complete a carved-piece, generally using alder, or different varieties of cedar. While raising a family does slow down the process, Campbell admits her need to perfect her pieces
also prolongs the process. “I never sacrifice the quality of my work for quantity.
That’s always been my main thing,” she said. All Campbell’s pieces are her own designs, which she is
inspired to create from traditional stories to add meaning to her work.
Aside from winning, Campbell said she’s glad to have met so many artists, and create contacts with the art culture in Arizona.
“It’s a great opportunity to go down and show what our culture and artwork is all about. Many of the artists down there haven’t even seen northwest coast art before,” Campbell said of the show that includes cultural dancers performing, story-telling, traditional foods and more.
Campbell has been carving for 40 years, under the mentorship of renowned artists Freda Diesing and Dempsey Bob. Bob encouraged Campbell to begin carving after noticing her artistic ability.
“I always wanted to take wood working and metal in school, but in those days girls weren’t allowed to. It was perfect because I had to learn how to make my own tools as well as learn how to design and carve. It’s two different art forms right there,” Campbell said.
Campbell’s carving has taken her many places in that time, including Japan to carve an eight foot totem pole with her brother in the early 90s. The siblings stayed overseas for five weeks to carve the pole as part of Prime Minister Brian Mulroney’s plan to give a gift to the country as part of Canada Festival Days.

BY SHAUN THOMAS HAIDA GWAII / The Northern View
A renowned international travel magazine has given people just one more reason to make the trip to Haida Gwaii.
American-based Outside Magazine named Haida Gwaii the Best Islands during its second annual Active Travel Awards, beating out runner-up St. Lucia Island in the Carribean.
“Aptly nicknamed the Galápagos of Canada, Haida Gwaii is a largely uninhabited archipelago of 138 islands 80 miles off the British Columbia coast. Only 4,000 humans live here, 70 percent of them native Haida people. The inland temperate rainforests are full of eagles and huge black bears. The surrounding waters host sea lions, seals, porpoises, humpback whales, three species of killer whales, dolphins, and very large steelhead. All of which is to say: this is wild heaven,” the magazine stated in handing out the award.
“Northern B.C. Tourism said this selection just goes to show how unique tourism in the region can be.
“Northern British Columbia is a premier adventure travel destination, and Haida Gwaii is one of our treasures,” said Anthony Everett, CEO of Northern BC
Tourism. “It’s great to see that Outside agrees with us, and we
hope they come back to explore more of what we have to offer.”
The full list of award winners is published in the April issue of Outside magazine, available on newsstands, and at Outside Online. It includes a look at the best locations in the world.
“Outside magazine has long been one of the world’s most trusted advisors for active and adventurous travelers,” says Outside Editor Christopher Keyes.
Our annual Travel Awards honors the year’s best trips, hotels, lodges, luggage, islands, and new destinations that will be an invaluable travel resource for years to come.”
BY SHAUN THOMASHAIDA GWAII - The Northern View
While Prince Rupert is experiencing a boom in real estate, the same cannot be said for Haida Gwaii.
Home sales on the island have been slower than usual, said Royal LePage agent Brian Bussierre, with house prices dropping by approximately 25 per cent in the last three years.
“For a three bedroom house, I would say the average sale price has been about $125,000. There are houses that have sold for less than that, but those are the old military houses,” he said, noting that a number of factors have contributed to the decline.
“The economy on Haida Gwaii is tough and getting tougher, people who have gone to the oil patch are just now coming back, there are a lot of houses on the market, BC Ferry costs have gone up and the price of fuel is higher here.”
While work on the new hospital in Queen Charlotte has put much of the attention on that community, Bussierre said the slow sales are across the island.
“I don’t think any one community is doing better than the others,” he said.
“Until new industry comes to Haida Gwaii, the economy is going to be tough.”
The numbers from the Northern B.C. Real Estate Board group sales in Prince Rupert with sales in Haida Gwaii and does not break out sales for the communities on the islands.
According to the Multiple Listing Services there were 31 properties available on Haida Gwaii ranging from a four bedroom, two bathroom half duplex for $60,000 in Masset to a $595,00 five bedroom, three bathroom house on 1.64 acres of land on Tow Hill Road.
There are also a number of vacant lots for sale, including the priciest piece of property available on Haida Gwaii - a one bedroom, one bathroom house on 46 acres of land that includes 2,458 feet of oceanfront property in Tlell.

Japan gives $1-million to help with tsunami debrisDebris to wash up for years to come
By Shaun ThomaS HAIDA GWAII / The Northern View
As Haida Gwaii continues to deal with the impact of debris from the 2011 Japanese tsunami, the Government of Japan has given the Canadian government $1 million to help with the clean-up efforts.
The money from Japan will be used to support debris planning and management, shoreline monitoring and debris removal, training and education about debris identification and clean-up efforts in provincial and national parks.
“The ex gratia grant extended by the Government of Japan represents a token of gratitude to the Government of Canada and the Canadian people in recognition of the tremendous support provided to Japan in the wake of the March 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake,” said Seiji Okada, Consul-General of Japan in Vancouver, on behalf of H.E. Kaoru Ishikawa, Ambassador of Japan to Canada.
“British Columbians not only share in Japan’s loss due to the earthquake and tsunami of 2011, but they share the Pacific Ocean as a common neighbour and therefore truly understand the long lasting impact this kind of natural disaster has on communities. We are truly grateful for this generous gift that will assist in ensuring our coastline is clean and safe,”
said Terry Lake, British Columbia Minister of Environment.
While initial updates put the number at 20 million tonnes of debris floating in the Pacific Ocean, the Japanese government expects about 1.5 million tonnes of debris was washed into the ocean in March, 2011. Already beaches on Haida Gwaii have been littered with everything from plastic containers to refrigerators to, most famously, a tailer containing a Harley Davidson motorcycle that was returned to its owner.
“Model simulations show that such high windage debris started to arrive along the BC coast during the winter of 2011-12. Most of the debris, however, is thought to consist of objects with low to moderate windage. Based on model simulations, such debris from the Japan tsunami is transported more slowly and expected to approach the coast of North America during the second half of 2012, through the first half of 2013,” reads an update from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans on the tsunami situation.
“Debris will likely continue to arrive at the coast over a large spatial area from Alaska to northern California for several years. Most of this debris will consist of small pieces rather than large objects owing to the effects of surface currents, winds, and waves.”
The Northern View archivesThe Government of Japan has given Canada $1-million to help with the clean-up of debris from the tsunami that struck the country in March, 2011.
Liberals say they will freeze
carbon taxBy Tom FleTcherVICTORIA / The Northern View
Gas prices may remain unchanged as Premier Christy Clark and Environment Minister Terry Lake announced last week that a B.C. Liberal government will freeze B.C.’s carbon tax on fossil fuels at current rates for five years.
The freeze is to allow other jurisdictions to catch up to B.C., which taxes carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels at $30 a tonne.
Former finance minister Carole Taylor introduced the carbon tax in 2008, covering transportation and heating fuel for homes and businesses. The rate rose over four years and was frozen for this year at seven cents per litre of gasoline, with comparable taxes on diesel, coal, natural gas and other fuels.
The carbon tax is budgeted to raise $1.2 billion in the fiscal year that began April 1, with all revenues required to be returned through personal and business income tax reductions.
B.C.’s carbon tax was a political battleground before the 2009 election, with former NDP leader Carole James campaigning for it to be scrapped. At the 2008 municipal convention in Penticton, when former premier Gordon Campbell announced grants to offset carbon tax costs for towns and cities, James claimed the grants were to placate local politicians were in open revolt against the tax.
After the 2009 election, the NDP changed position to support the carbon tax. Leader Adrian Dix has said revenues should go towards transit expansion or energy-saving upgrades in municipal buildings and operations.
B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins promises to eliminate the carbon tax. Cummins emphasizes the disproportionate impact the tax has on colder and more remote parts of B.C., but has not yet specified if offsetting income tax cuts would be reversed to make up the revenue to the province.
B.C. Green Party leader Jane Sterk has restated her 2009 policy of raising the carbon tax from the current $30 per tonne to $50 a tonne immediately. That would bring the tax to more than 10 cents per litre of gasoline.
