Josh and Chad Silva put some colour on their paper cut-outs of the Easter Bunny. The two boys were among a packed crowd of families at the Tamitik Arena on April 1, participating in the Eggstravaganza Easter Egg Hunt.
Affordable housing needed
Cameron OrrKitimat’s new Comprehensive Housing
Needs Assessment calls out an immediate need for 217 units of affordable rental or supportive housing units in Kitimat.
That’s one of many bits of knowledge con-tained in the report, released on Mar. 23.
The report is the result of the Kitimat Housing Committee, which was formed to identify and address housing needs in the community, ac-cording to the report’s executive summary.
“The information provided in this docu-ment will help Kitimat move forward with a plan to address key community housing needs,” the report stat-ed.
Those needs includes the conclusion that af-fordability of housing in the community is “grad-ually eroding” for low-income renters.
As well the housing stock available is “no longer suitable for the aging population.”
Some rental properties that are available have fallen into disrepair, the report states, due to pe-riods of high vacancy and high unemployment, a result of population loss and industrial plant clo-sures.
The report includes some suggestions, such as developing working relationships between industry and social housing agencies to develop “innovative ideas for social housing development projects,” and creating a housing strategy and ac-tion plan that would include other recommenda-tions in the report.
The complete report is available on the Dis-trict of Kitimat’s website at kitimat.ca.
According to Margaret Warcup, with the Kit-imat Housing Committee, this report means that the community is well-positioned to benefi t from potential grants to improve housing from the gov-ernment.
“We want, as a community, to have all the resources. We have very few subsidized housing in terms of supportive housing,” said Warcup. “Compared to other communities we’re really weak.”
The committee was able to hire Terra Hous-ing Consultants to prepare for the report with a $10,000 grant.

Revitalization talk for another dayCameron Orr
Council will be considering tax exemption bylaws for downtown revitalization but opted to table discussion when it came up at the April 2 council meeting.
The reason is that a notice of motion from Councillor Corinne Scott was worded much differently than the actual motion she submitted for discussion. To err on caution, councillors wanted time to consider the motion.
As presented by Scott, her motion sought to have council look at establishing a revitalization tax exemption policy and bylaw to encourage community beautifi cation.
A municipality, she explained, can provide tax exemptions that could attract investment.
“What this proposal would be is that
as an incentive to our community and business community that we encourage them to rejuvenate, renovate their businesses,” she said.
The plan would call for partnering with the Northern Development Initiative Trust [NDIT] which has a Community Revitalization program in place. Through that program, a municipality would essentially have NDIT put forward the equivalent payment amount that would be exempted to a developer during the period of the exemption.
So in short, the town would basically break even on their tax revenues even with an exemption.
Councillor Mario Feldhoff moved that the motion by Scott be tabled until council could hear from the District of Kitimat administration.
“In the past we’ve argued
vociferously not to put them in place for reasons of equity and I think I would prefer to move cautiously,” he said.
He continued, “[There] may be very good reasons for moving ahead with this but I want to have the full advice from our staff.”
Councillor Rob Goffi net sided with Feldhoff, noting that the motion’s wording was different from the one he was prepared to discuss.
“I would, too, like to know the ramifi cations,” said Goffi net.
Scott’s motion as written in council’s package read “That the District of Kitimat apply for Community Revitalization Grant money from NDIT that we could use for City Centre revitalization.”
The tabling motion was successful with unanimous support from council in favour.

DESIGN INC&
Housing from page 1Moving ahead, Warcup suggests thinking
outside of the box will help the town achieve its housing needs.
“In Nanaimo, an assisted living complex, was built entirely from trailers from the Olym-pics,” she said. “You wouldn’t have known they were those modular units.”
On the subject of housing, Warcup does point out that Kitimat is not immune from issues of homelessness.
“People will say to me ‘well, we don’t have any people without housing,’ but we know that we have people that are couch surfi ng,” she said. “We do have people who don’t have homes.”
She suggests a winter shelter is another hous-ing gap that should be investigated for Kitimat. She is aware of service groups in town giving bus fare to get people to shelters in Terrace.
Housing need is
real
From the reportWhat can the District do?
In the report, the District of Kitimat is encouraged to update policy statements on housing in the Offi-cial Community Plan to reflect the chang-ing housing market.
PolicyThe report says
to define the term ‘affordable housing’ in the local con-text and undertake research and policy review of what acces-sible, adaptable and visitable mean for the District.
Defi neThe town can look
into bylaws, such as restrictive covenants, use of housing agree-ments for affordable and special needs housing, and permis-sive tax exemptions.
Bylaws
Kitimat can look at how other commu-nities are dealing with properties that do not meet suitability and safety standards, and consider making a property standards bylaw.
StudyWork with rental
property owners looking to renovate or redevelop, and find opportunities for preserving and potentially creating new affordable rental units.
PartneringThe town could
consider the inven-tory of legal suites by updating currenty bylaws and provid-ing incentives for building legal suites in new homes.
Suites
There’s a boarding school deep in the Cop-per Canyon in Mexico, at a place called Guay-cavo.
It’s at the end of 22 switch backs down a mountain road, one which wouldn’t come near to the standards of B.C.’s ministry of transportation.
In the boarding school you’ll fi nd about 80 children, or closer to 40 or 50 if you go dur-ing the harvest season when children can’t leave their homes.
For about two months if you found yourself there you would have come across two women from Kitimat, who took an extra few weeks from their work in Mexico to help out around the school.
Brenda Reay and Judy Carver have spent the past fi ve years go-ing to Mexico with a group from their church, the Mountain View Alliance. Reay has been each year for the past fi ve while Judy has been there three times.
Usually for a two week stint, the pair were fortunate to have much longer this time.
Hearing that the poverty rate is re-markably high for the region, they brought money and supplies to the school and area for support.
“We’d go back in a heartbeat,” said Reay. “We got to meet some really neat people.”
She said the school is set up to allow the students to grow up be-ing more self-sustain-ing.
“We worry about what we’re going to have, they worry about if they’re going to have something to eat,” she said.
Reay and Carver are a well of giving, and plan to return to Mexico.
“Last year when we came back, I wasn’t ready to come back,” said Carver. She said there was so much left to do last time she was down there that she ac-tually felt bad to return to Canada.
On this last trip to the boarding school, they saw children who would walk for up to fi ve hours to get to the school, where they would stay until the weekend.
Walking in the harsh environments is made even more chal-lenging for the resi-
dents in the area due to the fact many had no footwear. Some wore rubber sandals, literally made from car tires.
Reay and Carver were able to go thanks to the generosity of many in the commu-nity.
With that in mind they plan to give back
to the community for their support. On April 18 at 7 p.m. they will be hosting an evening where they will tell the whole story of what they saw in Mexico, along with a slideshow of their photos. That is taking place at the Mountain View Alli-ance Church.
It will be a hands on event for the people who decide to come by. They have a lot of items to show off that they brought back, and they’ll even hand out samples of Mexi-can candy.

4 Northern Sentinel, Wednesday, April 11, 2012
It’s an intimidating challenge to take up what appears to be an unpopular position – but it some-times seems to me as if the tail is wagging the dog with respect to the Enbridge Northern Gate-way pipeline project – and its ex-tended review process. I am well aware the noisy “no pipeline, no project, no problem” agglomera-tion seems to be the only side we are hearing -- particularly living in northern B.C.
There appears to be some sporadic in-formation sessions to business groups and other interested parties by Enbridge offi -cials, but they are not well reported. They show up from time to time in energy indus-try publications and via Google alerts. No doubt Enbridge also has a large network of negotiators on the highways talking to and seeking out expressions of support from pipeline route communities and First Na-tions. They, so far, have not exposed much of this to the public.
So, demonstrations in Vancouver and actions such as motions of opposition by municipalities along the proposed route, naturally get a lot more media attention. Groups opposed to the pipeline are very successfully engineering a big volume of critical headlines. Federal government reac-tion is shown by last week’s budget plans to introduce “full speed ahead, damn the tor-pedoes” legislation to reduce the consider-able length of time it takes for environmen-tal review of major projects, particularly
long-term controversial energy projects, such as the one proposed to end at Kitimat’s waterfront.
That is why I am pleased to see rookie councillor Phil Germuth asking sensible di-rect questions and at least attempting to get Kitimat District Council off its naive hands-off “neutral” stance. Germuth simply wants answers to possible impacts in Kitimat, pos-itive and negative. Kitimat needs to ensure its neutral stance is in the best interests of the community. Eyes open, at the very least, please, DOK.
This Conservative budget intent is un-der hard scrutiny and facing scorn from op-position politicians and groups opposed to the project, including Skeena MP, Nathan Cullen, who is part of both camps.
However, in the same way as I don’t want outside environmental groups claim-ing to speak for me or all of Kitimat, I’m equally sure I don’t want my MP showing he is adamantly disinterested in the legal review process recommendation, a year be-fore it’s presented. That is not representing Kitimat’s interests, but his own personal view, as he has done from the beginning.
So, what is the level of support for a Northern Gateway crude oil export pipeline to Kitimat? We don’t know. Really! I appreciate council’s dilemma. But asking questions is only smart and is a way to stay both involved and connected.
Sadly, polling results are sus-pect - always. Polling companies are in business to make a profi t by presenting a guide to public opin-
ion based on facts. Facts are gathered from questions, answers and statistical assess-ment. Their business generally comes from proponents or governments, who do need to know. In January, the Financial Post re-ported “British Columbians, by a 48-32 percentage margin, support the $5.5-billion Northern Gateway pipeline project linking the Alberta oil sands to the West Coast,” ac-cording to a new Ipsos-Reid poll. It was a random “internet-based” survey. It’s always interesting to watch responses to these very general indicators of public support. It was a “random internet poll – not credible...” is the usual opposition response. The “silent majority” has still not been heard from.
Since the January poll, I don’t know how much difference 60 days could have made.
I need to make it clear, as I have done for three years, I hold no personal brief for the NGP project.
I have read virtually everything that’s come across my screen about it and share many concerns.

Amendment rights
Last week’s council meeting, where they discussed how to approach Enbridge on con-cerns over water supply, proved to be some-thing that could only be described as a ping-pong match of motions and amendments.
Here’s the scenario for those who missed it in person; Councillor Phil Germuth puts forward two motions. The fi rst is for the Dis-trict to put in writing its concerns about the fresh water supply in relation to the proposed Northern Gateway Pipeline and submit those concerns to the Joint Review Panel, using Kiti-mat’s government participant position.
With little opposition, the vote passes, but with an amendment added that the council will be able to review the letter before it’s submit-ted.
Alright, that’s not too hard.And then the second motion that follows
is that the District requires Enbridge to provide the answers to seven specifi c questions that Germuth has written out within the motion.
This is where the line of communication begins to break down.
I may be hard on myself if I miss some de-tails here and there but based on the discussion that circled the council table, and subsequent phone calls to the District for clarifi cation after the fact, I get the distinct impression that no one person seems to have a full grasp of ex-actly what happened.
Here, in a very brief round up, is what I’ve interpreted as what’s happened:
Some councillors had cold feet over the way the questions were worded, and also with the way the District would receive the an-swers.
Council decided, through an amendment, that they want the answers from Enbridge on their concerns in person at a special public meeting to be held at some indeterminate time. That was unanimous.
However, Council defeated the motion to actually ask the questions.
In response they voted in favour of bring-ing their concerns regarding water quality to a previously requested meeting from Enbridge, the one already set to cover Nimbus Mountain. This time with the actual questions out of the motion, giving them time to consider them.
The biggest take-away for me from the meeting is how long it took councillors to fi -nally be comfortable just addressing concerns they all seem to agree they have.

With the guidance of Eileen Hutson, elementary school students in Kitimat created works of art under the Museum in the Classroom program. Working with pastel and watercolours, the children’s art is now on display in the Kitimat Museum and Art Gallery. The exhibit runs another 10 days to April 21.
Counting
the jobsDear Sir,
Nathan Cullen and Senior Economist for “Policy Alternative” were short on math (which does not lie) while explaining/criticizing that Enbridge job creation will represents only 80 jobs in the end. Perhaps we can agree that one job position could represent one individual or one individual with family, with wife and one, two, three or more children.
Debate on Enbridge job creation of 80 jobs analogically — to be fair — could represent 10 single persons working and 70 persons that have families working that may total, for example tak-ing two children in consideration 290 persons. For some small Pacifi c Northwest communities west of Prince George this is huge; for Vanderhoof, or Fraser Lake, or Burns Lake (that lost some 200 jobs recently) or Houston or Smithers or Hazel-tons or Terrace or Kitimat (which lost, since 1981, some 2,500 jobs, population of some seven to eight thousand people.) So about 300 new people in any of these communities is signifi cant.
Further, 290 persons could be 140 children. How many teaching jobs that is? How much ex-tra hospital personnel that is? How many housing units (local taxes) does that represent? How many emergency clean up crew jobs will there be? How many pilots will be required?

From page 4I do however support a thorough and exacting
review process for any project that could bring benefi ts to our rapidly shrinking community. I respect local anti-project opinion and believe ev-eryone has a right to take a stance.
I stated some time ago in this opinion column that my original concerns were that a proposed project – Northern Gateway — was attracting a lot more organized and well-funded hard line opposition scrutiny than the existing 50 year-old Kinder-Morgan oil pipeline operation through the Port of Vancouver. However, now that Kind-er-Morgan has publicly indicated its plans to signifi cantly increase crude oil exports under the Lions Gate Bridge, Vancouver’s very active envi-ronmental watchdogs are now sitting up and tak-ing notice. That is what I wanted two years ago. NIMBY lives.

Getting down to business
Denis Chang coming to town
The best and brightest of Kiti-mat’s business scene were recog-nized at the Kitimat Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards last Friday.
Practically stealing the show was J. Oviatt Contracting, which took Construction Business of the Year, Community Booster Award, and general Business of the Year.
A feather in the cap for the owners of Book Masters was Retail Business of the Year, the fi rst time they’ve won after many years of nominations.
What’s in Store? Thrift Store got noticed despite their small car-bon footprint with an Eco Star award.
The Vitality Center got some extra bounce in their step with the Service Business of the Year award.
Hawkair Aviation Services took off with Transportation Busi-ness of the Year.
The Kitimat Mu-seum and Archives received something to remember with the
Hospitality/Tourism award.101 Industries proved number
one in the Industry/Manufacturing category.
And last but not least, the Kiti-mat Child Development Centre wel-comed their new addition, the busi-ness award for a Not for Profi t.
Kathleen Jeffery The Kitimat Con-
cert Association is welcoming the music style of gypsy jazz with the season closing performance of Denis Chang.
Chang has a music degree from McGill University and his style is known for its light-ning quick riffs and emotive playing.
He will have you tapping your toes to the “hot” fast-pulsing rhythms and thrilling to the long melodic lines played at dizzy-ing speeds that charac-terize Gypsy Jazz.
At the door tickets are $27 a person, $23 for seniors and $17 for youth, or you can knock $2 off the cost by buying in advance at Hollywood Video.
The show is on April 14 at 8 p.m.

Club opens new cabin
Gala wraps up season
Cameron OrrUnder a cool blue sky, the
Kitimat Snowmobile and Hik-ers Club offi cially opened a new cabin on Clague Mountain.
The new structure is the re-sult of countless hours of effort by members of the club, and the local community.
Chad Fournier, the club’s president, said the shell of the cabin was fi nished in the fall and members have slowly been working away to make it ready for its grand opening, which was on Mar. 31.
This new cab-in will replace an older one already
on Clague, and joins the club’s cabin family — they have an-other one on Robinson Ridge, accessed from Forest Avenue.
“That’s an old cabin too,” he said. “Our hope with the suc-cess of this project is to keep the momentum and motivation go-ing...and perhaps replacing that cabin as well.”
Their new cabin on Clague is primarily a day-use one but the club welcomes people to use it for overnight stays if they need as well. There is a loft area that will fi t several people, and
there’s a wood stove for heat and a propane cook-top.
The club is currently enjoy-ing approximately 70 members, the highest it’s ever been.
“I do know this year we have the highest membership total ever, so things are mov-ing in the right direction for the club,” said Fournier.
The club is thankful for the sponsorships from local busi-nesses as well as the joint effort from the Haisla, the Ministry of Forests and Range and the Dis-trict of Kitimat.
The Snow Valley Skating Club wrapped up a successful season with their gala, this year called “From Stage to Big Screen.”
Club president Jessica Gon-calves said that membership has been up in the club over the past few years.
Welcoming skaters as young as three, the season starts in earnest in October for members and is capped off by the gala.
This year’s event saw children and young adults show off their skills on the ice.
“It’s a great oppor-tunity for the kids to showcase to the com-munity what they’ve accomplished all year long,” she said.
Every year the
theme changes, with new costumes. Last year’s entire show was based on Alice in Wonderland, a theme that did return for some groups at the gala.
Information on the skating club can be found online at their website, kitimatsnowvalleyskatingclub.com.
People are also welcome to contact either the club’s head coach, Cynthia Medeiros, at 632-3832, or for registrations call Michelle Aber-crombie at 250-632-2858.
